Chapter 176 [Killing the Rebel General]

After carefully thinking about the Shangshu of the Ming Nan Zhili Military Department, I remembered that His Royal Highness the county lord was talking about the two recruits he sent out, but there was no way to do it if the task was needed! Besides, the two of them were still willing to dispatch, and after telling her the news, Zhu Youlan turned around and left the Zhongjun tent.

The next day, a row of black and iron-colored chain mail troops appeared three hundred meters outside the Acropolis of Rencheng, and the artillery battalions set up ten general cannons, eight bronze Frankie meteor cannons, and three red-coated cannons.

The sudden bombardment of Ren Chengwei panicked the rebel ambushes who were originally stationed here! Before they could come to their senses, Governor Ming Fengyang: Ma Shiying, pulled out his saber and shouted, "The whole army charges!" ”

In an instant, a large number of Ming troops rushed up to the city wall, Fengyang Wei, Fengyang Zhongwei, Fengyang Right Guard, Huangling Guard, Left Guard, Left Guard, Left Guard, Changhuai Guard, Huaiyuanwei, these eight guards in the area under the jurisdiction of the division began to push the Lu bus to quickly approach the city wall.

The Ming army firecrackers who relied on the side of Lu's bus were shooting while loading their ammunition, and the rebels defending the city were confused!

The sound of cannons soon alarmed the rebels and rogue soldiers who were lying in ambush on both sides of the mountainside, and the ambush soldiers who hid the pennant chatted with each other, "Could it be that the Ming army has learned of our movements?" Do you want to do it or not! ”

Lurking rebel general: Lu Motao, he thinks that he may startle the snake if he does it now, after all, no one knows that they are lurking here, so he does not plan to send troops to rescue but wait and see.

At this time, riding a horse past the top of Guanshan Mountain, the Ming official Kezuo gave the matter: Ma Jiazhi, looking at the beautiful scenery under the mountain, couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a paradise, a fairyland on earth!" The old man hadn't seen this for a long time. ”

The accompanying soldiers said, "Zuo to the Lord in the matter, what a Yaxing!" ”

Suddenly, there was a hurried shout from behind, "My lord, my lord, it's a big deal!" Liu Jiajun and they rebelled. ”

Frightened, the Ming official on horseback Kezuo fell off his horse in fright, and after being helped up by the soldiers, he hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" Tell me what happened. ”

I saw the herald reply: "After General Soldier Liu accepted the 40 taels of silver given by the commander of the capital, he counted the old hatred and cruelly killed the right to the middle of the matter in the barracks!" The little one was mixed in the team at that time and spent two taels of silver to buy off the guards, so he escaped to report the news. ”

Hearing about this evil consumption, it suddenly made Ming official Kezuo feel that Liu Jiajun couldn't resist it! The top priority is to immediately contact the Governor of Fengyang who sent the letter before, otherwise, once indulged, maybe the next person to defect will be Liu Jiajun! So he decided to get up quickly and get on his horse to contact the soldiers and horses who stayed in the north of the Central Capital Division.

But at this moment, the Ming official Kezuo gave the matter, but inadvertently saw the winding and undulating halfway up the mountainside, and there seemed to be a faint number of conspicuous things? He looked closely and found that there was; Red, white, and black things?

This inevitably made him suspicious! Hurriedly pointed to the halfway point of the mountain and said, "Look, what is that?" ”

The soldiers fixed their eyes on the traces of the army in a few places where there were few trees, and everyone thought; Could it be that there are ambushes in this area? But why do you have an ambush here? Are you waiting for someone to come? I guessed it carefully.

The first thing that was guessed by the Ming official Kezuo was that this place was very close to Ren Chengwei, and it was also an area of activity for the Liukou and the rebels.

Immediately afterwards, everyone unexpectedly found that there were bursts of wolf smoke in the sky above the direction of the western city guard, and the suspicious Ming official Kezuo guessed in the matter; Oh no, could it be that the Governor of Fengyang led his troops north to encircle and suppress the rebels?

So they took out a signal flare and shot it into the sky (bang) and quickly exploded, forming a Kui wood wolf pattern in the air.

Here is the left attendant of the Ming Soldier Department who is commanding the siege under the city acropolis: Lian State Affairs, and the right attendant of the Ming Soldier Department: Ding Kuichu, the two found the signal flare in the air, and they said in unison, "It's the signal of our army, what news is there nearby?" ”

But they thought about it for a second time; It must be urgent to be able to send a flare at the top of the mountain? And now the biggest urgency is the catastrophe epidemic and war, since it is in the mountains, the epidemic is unlikely! Then only the war remains, and in the comprehensive topographical analysis, it is concluded that there are ambushes on this mountain?

Because as early as the sixteenth year of Chongzhen's southern invasion of Shandong, when the government was announced, all the prefectures, prefectures, counties, guards, and offices were attacked, but the Ming was the commander of the city guard: Ji Chunguang, who used the terrain to defeat the Dongyu army, so most of this mountain was ambushed.

With the determination to believe it rather than believe it, he sent an army of 1,000 people to try it.

However, marching to the nearby Ming Shandong, the commanders and Qinwang's divisions also saw the signal flares, and the Ming Nanzhili Military Department Shangshu did not hesitate to send the Ming Fujian General Army and the Ming Shaoxing General Army to take the lead and go straight to the top of the mountain, and the rest of the army continued to follow themselves around Ningyang County to occupy the rebels who were here to serve as city guards in Tupo.

On the top of the mountain, the Ming official Kezuo, who had already exposed his target, was found by dozens of rebel soldiers, who shot with arrows and stabbed dozens of soldiers to death, and there were still ten soldiers left to cover him and escape in the woods!

Sharp arrows flew behind him and stabbed the accompanying soldiers, and soon the soldiers around him fell one by one, and he was out of breath and tired! But the soldiers behind him still chased closely, forcing the Ming official Kezuo to run to an underground cave to hide in desperation.

The sharp stone area where you can't see your fingers, for an official who lives in a mansion all the year round, is naturally scared and trembling, this former secretary of the military department: Chen Xinjia, who has a close relationship with the Ming official Kezuo, gave the matter: Ma Jiazhi, squatting behind a sharp stone at the moment, looking at the front with a nervous expression, for fear that there will be pursuers.

But they were afraid that something would come after all, and when the rebel soldiers chased here, they looked carefully and saw no one, so they walked around for a while.

In order to survive, the frightened Ming official Kezuo directly turned into a small stone hole next to him and curled his legs to avoid the risk in order to survive.

At this moment, Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei, who were in the rebel army, went out of the city with everyone, and they quietly came to the side to discuss while the rebel general Liu Chao and Dashun Dongchang were watching the army, "Brother Ma, what should I do now?" ”

Ma Wei originally wanted to tell the story of the siege and even the fall of Gyeonggi, but he was told by the Liukou general, so he planned to pass on this news to Lord Shi Shangshu, so as to arouse his anger and go north as soon as possible, after all, there are two Ming armies doing the siege of the rebels at the moment.

After deciding to make a decision, Ma Wei immediately used the flying pigeon to pass the news, Wu Junzhen's ears moved as if he realized something, and he quickly turned around and pulled Ma Wei to hide to the side, and the frightened Ma Wei hurriedly asked, "Brother Wu, what are you doing?" ”

I saw Wu Junzhen hinting with his hand not to speak, and he turned around and went out to take a look, and saw two rogue generals talking to each other, "Are you sure you want to give up on them?" ”

Another rogue general replied, "That's right! The Ming army that has just received the information that the capital has stayed in the division has gone north to the territory of Yanzhou Mansion, why don't we take this opportunity to go south to the south and attack the central capital to stay in the Fengyang Mansion? Then the impact will be great! ”

As soon as these words came out, the rogue general who spoke first smiled and whispered, "Since this is the case, this batch of Ming troops will be handed over to him as a scapegoat!" We just need to remind the Lord to find a way to get rid of him! ”

Seeing the two rogue generals coming to the corner to talk, Wu Junzhen guessed; Left behind in the capital? So familiar place?

And Ma Wei explained, "When we sent His Royal Highness Prince Fu to the south before, we passed by the Central Capital Left-behind Division!" ”

Hearing this, Wu Junzhen immediately realized that the situation was not good, and in order to prevent the Liukou army from going south, he decided to ask the rebel general Liu Chao for orders to attack Ren Chengwei, and after he went out to ask for instructions.

The rebel Liu Chao looked at them quite strangely? Just guess, "You two are?" ”

happened to be seen by the second master of Liugou, he volunteered to introduce the identities of the two of them, and in this way, he changed from pretending to be a rogue to the default identity of a rogue Kou, and in addition to taking the initiative to fight, he was very rebellious Liu Chao's heart.

He immediately led all the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to Renchengwei, and the Dashun Dongchang Brigade also led the army to accompany him, and the Liukou soldiers quietly revealed the news to the Dashun Dongchang Brigade on the way.

So he took the opportunity to deliberately let the artillery battalion move slowly, only bringing 8,000 heavy armored soldiers of the Shun army in front, and let the heavy cavalry of the Shun army slow down.

At noon, the troops of King Qin arrived at the city of Ningyang County and found that this place was actually an empty city? Only then did I think that the intelligence analysis I received before should not be wrong! The ambush circle is here, so don't worry about it.

This will be Ming Nan Zhili Military Department Shangshu is not polite, he let the Ming Fujian Xingdu Commander, Ming Ningbo Wei Commander, Ming Aid Northeast Naval Division and other generals go all out to attack and surround Ren Chengwei to launch a fierce attack.

The sound of artillery and fighting was everywhere inside and outside the Rencheng Acropolis, and then two teams of Ming infantry cavalry hanging the "Xuanwu Flag" and "Jishui Leopard Flag" also appeared on the mountain to rush over and slash the ambushes lurking here.

When the rebel general Liu Chao arrived at the official road of Renchengwei, looking at the ambush circle with constant cannon sounds, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, Dashun Dongchang took the opportunity to lead troops to resist the Ming army under the pretext of leading troops, but in fact he fled south! Only the rebel general Liu Chao and the bandit alliance were left here.

The Shangshu of the Ming Southern Zhili Military Department and the Governor of Ming Fengyang in front of the battle ordered: "Those who kill the head will be rewarded!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the left squire of the Ming army and the right squire of the Ming army were the first to rush into the rebel ranks, and the artillery battalion of the Ming army in the rear gave support, plus the division of King Qin also attacked the flank.

As a result, many bandits fled as soon as the battle began, and even the rebel headquarters couldn't hold on! The fort was not set up, the fire team did not have time to reload, and the soldiers were slaughtered by the Ming army.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Liu Chao put down the saber in his hand and shouted in front of the battle, "Stop!" All of them are willing to surrender to the court again. ”

Seeing this, the fighting Ming soldiers stopped fighting and led him to meet the governor of Ming Fengyang on the left wing, but the Ming Luzhou general soldier in the fight: Huang Degong, felt that this person dared to betray the court and set off such a big affair, so he decided to kill the rebel general in person, he rode a horse and quickly rushed over and shouted from behind, "The thief will take his life!" ”

immediately beheaded the rebel general Liu Chao, and the rest of the rebel soldiers were shocked! But the general soldier of Minglu Prefecture was not afraid of anything at all, and he shouted confidently, "The rebel will die!" If you resist, you will destroy all nine tribes. ”

The rebel soldiers thought for a moment and felt that the chances of victory were not good, so they laid down their weapons and knelt down to surrender to the Ming army.
