vs 28 Rebels, traitors! (Chapter 28)
The deputy captain glanced at the team leader as if he didn't know him and said, "Captain, I'll call you captain again, are you going with us?" ”
Seeing that the team leader still insisted on his own ideas, he glanced at the other brothers under him, and it seemed that no one planned to complete this "great cause of loyalty" by himself, and he felt a little embarrassed and lowered his head.
The deputy captain glanced around at the surrounding officers and soldiers, and said slowly: "I finally understand why the city lord of Shenzhou City is just flying like a flyer. Hum! I really haven't paid attention to you. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the weapon thrown by the captain, wiped it clean in his hand, and hung it on himself.
He said to almost the "adults": "I don't care what you dog officials want to do, but if you want us to surrender, you can't do it!" After that, he fixed the weapon on his body, and ordered the other eight people: "Go, let's go, go to find Hou Ye, if someone is not good for Hou Ye, brothers, we will block and kill, Buddha block **!" If...... If anything happens to the two Hou Masters, we will simply go to the Shenzhou Army! ”
Whether it is the soldiers of the Ming army defending the city, or the pro-soldiers of these so-called "big guys of the DPRK" who came from behind, who are more like "warriors", no one will stop them, maybe no one dares to stop them!
Looking at the backs of the nine departing "Shengwu Army", no one spoke. The "personal soldiers" of several bigwigs took over the defense of the city in an all-round way. Ordinary soldiers of the Ming army did not understand what was happening, in their eyes, they just thought that it was just the ministers of the DPRK and China who were pouring into each other, and for the deep cause of this matter, no one of them who believed in fate would delve into it.
Soon the situation that made these people who believed in fate jaw-dropping appeared.
Several soldiers of the "cronies and bigwigs" in the court of Lu Jianguo looked for them to climb up to the top of the city and pick up torches and wave them. As they moved, a whirlwind rolled outside the city.
Under the command of the soldiers of the "Shengwu Army", the soldiers of the Ming Army, who were ready to defend the city, were surprised to find that although the shadows faintly exposed on the smoke and dust rolled up outside the city were wearing almost the same armor as the "Shengwu Army", what were they wrapped around the back of their heads or necks...... Yes! They are Tartars.
The soldiers of the Ming army defending the city seem to understand something, but now that the defense is completely taken over by the "personal soldiers" and "family generals" under these bigwigs, what can they do?
Approximately only ...... When many Ming soldiers saw some scenes, their eyes shot out of grief or resentment, and some of them threw down their weapons and left here, they wanted to go to a place of light. Leaving this place that makes one feel humiliated and sad. Or maybe it's time to go home and protect your family!
A few bigwigs looked at the rout soldiers scattered in all directions, and did not stop them at all, anyway, it would not take long for the army over there to arrive, so wouldn't they all be meritorious ministers, if they were killed by these rebels at this time, wouldn't it be a pity for the future high-ranking officials.
It seemed that everyone's thoughts were very similar, so several people looked at each other and nodded slightly. Throw aside the fear of the lawless man and walk out of the city gates, where their new master will come. They had to go early to greet them in order to show their sincerity.
The city gate on the side of Suzhou City opened in a low and hoarse sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak". When tens of thousands of people outside the city were throwing their heads and shedding blood for it, the gate of Suzhou City was opened here.
Outside the city gate, in the smoke and dust, 25,000 cavalry galloped on the field outside Suzhou. The excitement in the hearts of these galloping Manchu cavalrymen cannot be described in words.
At this time, there were no dreaded crossbow arrows like rain, and there were no "flowering shells" that could blow down a large area of cavalry with a single cannon...... It's like paradise here, especially when the general said that you can grab it for three days after entering the city...... Suzhou ...... Needless to say, there is the most beautiful life of the Han people, and here are the most beautiful women of the Han people...... There are ...... here.
They kept clinging to the waist of the horse under their crotch, and desperately lowered their bodies, and there, right there, not far away!
With the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, after rushing into Suzhou City, the fire fluttered one after another. They accompanied the screams of women, the screams of men, and the cries of children, which resounded in Suzhou, the most beautiful home under the land of China.
At the gate of another city that was still in the hands of the Ming army in the distance, Zhang Mingzhen watched all this anxiously, and a small group of soldiers who had just returned had already explained the situation to him.
"The city is broken! This...... How is this good, to protect the people and engage in street battles with the Qing army? This was Zhang Mingzhen's first thought, but soon the duties of a minister grabbed him tightly: "Lead his soldiers to the forbidden palace to live and defend the emperor, or Wu Hou outside the city may win a big victory!" Moreover, Li Xingbang's army outside the city may be able to make a difference. ”
Therefore, Zhang Mingzhen shouted: "All the soldiers will follow me to the place where the emperor is forbidden to guard and protect my emperor." So saying, he led all his army to abandon the gates and run into the city.
However, he didn't expect that the current generals were not well-trained "Shengwu Army", they were just ordinary soldiers of the Ming Army recruited by the Ministry of War.
It doesn't matter if he runs, the soldiers of the Ming army only think that even he, who is the master who is the main opponent of the Qing Dynasty, has lost an inch because the Qing army entered the city. For a while, rumors spread among the Ming army, and the morale gathered because of the elite leadership of the "Shengwu Army" to resist the enemy collapsed.
However, people's legs can't outrun the cavalry, and the Qing army's 25,000 cavalry, except for one of the 5,000 people who rushed to the city gate outside the gate, the rest have already rushed to the center of Suzhou City, one by one, the forbidden palace of Zhu Yihai, the state of Lu Jianguo. As long as the emperor protected by the Ming army in Suzhou is captured, the morale of the Ming army, which has no people to protect, will inevitably collapse quickly, and the intensity of resistance will be reduced to zero.
On the street, the Manchu cavalry roared all the way, the spear-type crossbows in their hands kept pointing around, and all those who did not fit the eyes were shot down on the spot.
However, they soon encountered resistance, and the Qing cavalry, who were showing off their might in the streets, were confronted by the hundreds of "Shengwu Army" led by Zhang Mingzhen and the thousands of loyal and brave men who still followed them.
Wu Shengzhao's recruits, who had received good training, immediately squeezed out of the crowd, and because of the narrow streets, they had to line up in front of the team in five teams to shoot intensively one by one.
Some people even shouted at those Ming officers and soldiers, "Prepare bows and arrows and fire guns......
The Qing army brigade in front is getting closer and closer......!
