Chapter 271: The City Breaks

Ma Cheng stood under the city and saw Zhang Guoyi being the first to climb the city, and praised: "Okay, give Zhang Guoyi the first credit!" The first to climb will be rewarded with 5,000 silver, the first 50 people who climb the city will be rewarded with 1,000 silver, and all the other death camps will be rewarded with 100 silver each! ”

Zhang Guoyi didn't know at this time that he had won 5,000 silver, and the Luwang soldiers at the head of the city had already reacted vigorously, and under the organization of a general, more than 200 soldiers with muskets and spears rushed up, wanting to take advantage of Zhang Guoyi's unstable foothold to drive these guys down.

Zhang Guoyi is also a veteran soldier, and he knows that this is the most dangerous time, and whether he can gain a firm foothold in the city depends on now. There were only more than 20 soldiers in the death battalion who followed Zhang Guoyi just now, and Zhang Guoyi was naturally the chief of his official position.

Zhang Guoyi looked at his subordinates and shouted: "It's up to us whether we can stand still or not!" Everyone line up and protect the ladder! ”

With Zhang Guoyi's shouting, more than 20 people who came up lined up in a semicircular formation to protect the ladder behind him. The Luwang soldiers on the opposite side quickly rushed to the front of them, and they pulled the trigger one after another at Zhang Guoyi.

The arquebus used by the Luwang army is still used, if this kind of gun is well-made, the power is not inferior to the flintlock pistol, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the official armament was lax, and only one-third of the firecrackers in the hands of these soldiers could be fired, and there were a few firecrackers to blow up the chest, and the soldiers holding them were blown up all over the face. It was able to fire those few guns, because of the gunpowder problem, the power and range were also greatly reduced, and a few guys forgot to put the gunpowder because they were nervous, and they could only hear the sound of the trigger being pulled.

Zhang Guoyi covered his face with his arm, heard the sound of a firecracker, felt that his body had been hit hard a few times, and looked down to see that the lead bullet did not break the armor. Most of the soldiers around him were fine, except for two unlucky ghosts who had forgotten to protect their heads and faces, and their faces were covered in flowers from the shotguns of the firearms.

Because the arquebus is time-consuming to load, it is basically a one-time thing in this kind of short-handed battle, Zhang Guoyi saw the soldiers on the opposite side drop the musket, drew out his waist knife and rushed up, Zhang Guoyi shouted: "Ready, group according to the five-man formation!" ”

The new army uses the Mandarin Duck Formation, and the most suitable for this kind of bloody battle at the head of the city is the simplified version of the five-person Mandarin Duck Formation. The soldiers in the death battalion were all veterans, so they naturally knew how to deal with this situation, and under the command of Zhang Guoyi, the soldiers spontaneously formed a group of four or five people and began to fight head-on with the Luwang army.

Although Zhang Guoyi was the first to climb the city, it was not only more than 20 of them who climbed to the top of the city. When the general of the Luwang army saw this, he knew that the general situation was gone, so he sighed and threw his subordinates to flee for his life.

As soon as the officials ran away, those ordinary soldiers were unrestrained and began to flee for their lives, so that the entire Pingmen City was occupied by the new army death battalion.

At this time, there were more than 2,000 new troops who had ascended to the city, and in addition to the 1,000 death battalions, there were also more than 1,000 ordinary soldiers. Zhang Guoyi pulled over a thousand households and shouted: "You are in charge of the city, you must not lose your position!" I'll take the death camp to open the city gates! ”

Now the Luwang army in the city has fallen and scattered, no one cares about the city gate anymore, they are all rushing to the south gate to flee for their lives, Zhang Guoyi led his subordinates to open the flat gate easily, so far Suzhou City has completely fallen.

Fang Guoan stood on the drum tower in the city and saw the flat door wide open,

The army outside the city had already entered the city, Fang Guoan sighed and said: "It seems that this Suzhou is over, you all go, I am willing to live and die with Suzhou!" ”

Fang Guoan's chief soldier saw that this guy was going to commit suicide, how could this work? If Fang Guoan dies, who will bear the charge of losing Suzhou? So several general soldiers took Fang Guoan down the drum tower with all hands and feet, and then fled from Suzhou with him.

Fang Guoan ran away, but there were still more than 70,000 people left in the city in the Lu Wang Army, and they couldn't run out for a while. With the disintegration of the Luwang forces in the city of Suzhou, many ruffians began to fight the idea of the rich in the city, at first only a few people robbed shops sporadically, but soon evolved into large-scale murder and robbery.

The remaining stragglers of the Luwang army, after finding that there was no one in the city, also joined the ranks of this robbery, with the addition of the army, many rich families were robbed, and the young female dependents were raped and killed by the rebels.

In the afternoon, Ma Cheng's new army controlled the entire Suzhou City, and Ma Cheng rode a high-headed horse into the city from Pingmen, which was regarded as officially entering Suzhou.

Suzhou is the central city of Nanzhili, whether in ancient times or in later generations is a first-class good place, Ma Cheng used to be a northerner, and stayed in the capital to work after graduation, and he really never came to this big city on the shore of Taihu Lake.

But to Ma Cheng's disappointment, after entering the city, he found dead people all over the ground and blood everywhere. When Ma Cheng saw several disheveled young women on the street dead on the spot, he was naked, and he was raped before his death, and what made Ma Cheng even more angry was that these women were wearing silk and satin, and they were the daughters of a large family.

Ma Cheng came to the corpse and dismounted, turned over a corpse and looked carefully, this woman's eyes leaked frightened, probably what torture she had suffered before she died. However, it can be seen from her appearance that this woman must have been beautiful before her death.

Ma Cheng scolded angrily: "Who the hell did this? ”

A thousand households of the new army on the side stepped forward and said: "Boss, this family is a wealthy merchant in Suzhou, the whole family of Chengpo was hacked to death by the rebels, and these female dependents died in the hands of these guys!" After saying that, Qianhu pointed to a few guys kneeling beside him, these guys were wearing shabby mandarin duck robes, and they looked like the unlucky ghosts of the Lu Wang Army.

Ma Cheng looked at these lewd guys, and thought that such a beautiful woman was ruined by these guys, and the angry Ma Cheng took out his waist knife and hacked these unlucky ghosts to death. scolded while chopping: "Bastard, you dare to grab Lao Tzu's first prize!" ”

After Ma Cheng hacked these guys to death, he said to the thousand households: "Cut off the heads of these bastards, hang them at the head of the city, and then make an announcement!" If this happens again, do so! ”

Ma Cheng did not do this with good intentions to avenge the citizens of Suzhou, Ma Cheng probably still had some sympathetic feelings before the crossing, but in this era, especially after the cruel defense of Nanjing, Ma Cheng's heart has been as hard as a stone, not to mention that several women died in front of him, even Ma Cheng's cheap Lao Tzu Ma Shiying died in front of him, Ma Cheng will not have the slightest psychological fluctuations.

This time, Ma Cheng became so angry because he felt that such a beautiful girl should be enjoyed by himself, and these bastards should naturally be killed for stealing their own good things.

After Ma Cheng drove his wife Gu Miaoyin back to Nanjing, he had a skin-to-skin relationship with Changqing, but the physiological structure of this man and woman is different.

This feeling is naturally different, and after the freshness passes, especially every time you use lard, Ma Cheng is very uncomfortable, so Ma Cheng still misses women very much these days.

Originally, Ma Cheng's abacus was to go to Suzhou, and he must find a few local beauties to put out the fire, don't they all say that Suzhou and Hangzhou have beauties? How can I be indiscriminated when I come to this era? But when he entered the city, he found that such a beautiful beauty had died in the hands of a few obscene Qiu Ba, how could this make Ma Cheng endure it? That's why I took a heavy hand to clean up this gang of Qiu Ba.

After killing these unlucky ghosts, Ma Cheng was still angry, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Where is the Suzhou Prefect's Yamen?" ”

The Qianhu didn't know what Ma Cheng meant, so he hurriedly replied: "Back to Dashuai, it's Fuqian Street!" ”

Ma Cheng nodded, rode on a horse with two thousand soldiers, and was about to find the bad luck of the Suzhou prefect, although this guy is the official of King Lu, but the parents are the parents and parents, why don't you be a parent and not deal with your own local affairs, so that such a beautiful little beauty died?

Ma Cheng took his soldiers to the south along Pingmen Street, Pingmen Street is the Suzhou People's Road in the later generations, and the Suzhou Prefect Yamen is in the Daoqian Street area of the later generations, and the geographical location is the Suzhou City Hospital in the later generations.

Ma Cheng came to the door of the prefect's yamen and saw several trembling officials standing at the door, Ma Cheng stepped forward and scolded: "Where is your prefect? Let this bastard come out and see Lao Tzu! ”

Because this is the battlefield, Ma Cheng did not wear an official uniform, but Ma Cheng was dressed in fine armor, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance. The officials asked cautiously, "This general, dare to ask who you are?" ”

As soon as the official finished speaking, Gu Yong came up and punched and scolded: "Your mother, do you know who this is?" This is our handsome, Jiangnan Governor Ma Dashuai, don't you kneel down and kowtow? ”

Those officials heard that this is Ma Cheng who kills people without blinking? Frightened, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and now Ma Cheng's prestige in Nanzhili is far and wide, and there is a posture of stopping children crying at night.

One of the officials at the head stumbled and said: "Da Shuai, the villain doesn't know that Da Shuai is coming, and he deserves death!" ”

"Okay, let your prefect come out, Lao Tzu wants to see him!"

The officials looked at each other after listening to Ma Cheng, and finally the official who was the leader said: "Marshal, our lord said that Ma Cheng is here, no!" The handsome man is here, let you in by yourself! ”

When Gu Yong heard that this guy dared to mention Ma Cheng's name, he stepped forward angrily and beat him again, and these guys rolled all over the ground.

"Dashuai, don't fight! It's really what my lord said, and he didn't dare to fake orders if he gave the villain a hundred dares! ”

Ma Cheng looked at the servants who were beaten and crawled all over the ground, and knew that these guys didn't dare to lie to themselves, but this prefect was too bold, and they all became prisoners and still took five to six?

However, Ma Cheng thought that all of these stinky old nine intellectuals were not good, probably what kind of scribe this prefect was. Thinking that he was going to gather the hearts of scholars when he came to Nanzhili, Ma Cheng had no choice but to suppress his anger and ask, "What is the bullshit name of your prefect?" ”

Gu Yong heard Ma Cheng say this, so he stopped, and the officials were afraid that Ma Cheng would continue to beat them, so they hurriedly said: "Our mansion's surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Zilong, and he is from Songjiang Mansion!" ”
