Chapter 16: Beheading (1st Update, Asking for Support)
A Caoyun Governor Yamen, is the highest grade Yamen in Qinghe County, the Caoyun Governor not only manages the canal along the canal that spans several provinces for more than 3,000 miles, and also manages local administrative affairs, but also the governor of Lufeng, manages Fengyang Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, Luzhou Mansion and Xuzhou, and Chuzhou 3 Prefectures, under the high authority, the Caoyun Governor Yamen is naturally also extremely prominent, the Yamen that occupies an area is located in the middle of the county, there are 3 archways in front of the Yuanmen, which is said to be "the manager of the important ministers", and the east and west are respectively said to be "a total of the country", Authoritarian Central Plains".
Such a heavy place of yamen, although it is not heavily guarded, but usually very few people come, but today there are more than 100 lifu, and then more than 20 board cars went straight from the archway to the gate and walked towards the gate.
In front of the governor's yamen, there was a pair of stone lions with fine alum stone, and when they saw someone breaking through like this, they shouted and walked over.
"What are they for? I don't know what this place is. ”
Wang Yuan, who was dressed as a steward, saw that a Qing soldier was coming, and hurriedly went over to curry favor.
"This military master, this is not on the order of the lord of the mansion to send things to the mansion......"
As he spoke, he even took out a voucher, and when the Qing soldiers took a look, it was not the voucher that the eldest lord personally opened.
Since it was the order of the eldest lord, Qing Bing's tone immediately relaxed, but despite this, it was inevitable that he would be reprimanded.
"I said, haven't you ever been to the governor's yamen, this is something that the back government wants, you have to enter through the back door, and ...... through the back door."
Just when the Qing soldiers were shouting to tell Wang Yuan to go through the back door, the coachman over there had already pulled the car to the vicinity of the gate.
"Why are you still here? Go to the back house, go to the back door, go back to the back door......"
Just as the Qing soldiers were reprimanding, the driver dressed as a coolie had already drawn his knife from the car and pounced on it like a hungry wolf.
"Kill!"
Even before the Qing soldiers outside the Yamen Gate of the Governor of Caoyun could react, the coachman, who originally seemed to be just taking a temporary breath, rushed over with a big knife in his hand, shouting in his throat, and the knife slashed towards the Qing soldiers in front of the mansion.
Even when the knife slashed past, those Qing soldiers had not come back to their senses. My child is looking at this man with a tender head and a tender brain. There was a confusion in his eyes.
Click!
In the muffled sound of the broken neck bone, the head of the Qing soldier was slashed out with a blood-red strip, and the blood-red blood suddenly erupted, flying out about two or three feet away from the place where the neck was cut off.
And the other coachman, who was originally driving the cart, stabbed straight at the other party with a long knife in his hand when he rushed over, and the sharp tip of the knife directly stabbed the abdomen and chest of another Qing soldier. Another Qing soldier couldn't dodge, and when he reached out to block, his arm was cut off at once, and he fell in a pool of blood and rolled and wailed.
Wang Yuanquan turned a blind eye to this, holding the waist knife snatched from the waist of the Qing soldiers, he directly killed into the gate of the yamen of the governor's palace, and when he rushed into the gate, when he met a Qing army, he cut off the man's head cleanly.
This is a completely different tear in the past, the one hundred and fifty elite soldiers led by Wang Yuan did not even kill from the city gate, but directly disguised themselves as traders and passers-by, swaggered from the city gate to the Yamen of the Caoyun Governor's Palace, and then directly slaughtered into the Governor's Yamen.
This tactic was completely implemented in accordance with Zhu Mingzhong's deployment, and to paraphrase a sentence from later generations, this was a decapitation operation.
The reason for formulating such an action is in addition to the understanding of Qinghe County. More importantly, because the internal response here has broken down the mass resistance. And in this case, a single decapitation operation, directly physically dealing with the Caoyun Governor, is the best choice to completely break the Caoding resistance.
And this tactic, in this era. It's unprecedented. Despite the risks, however. The likelihood of implementation is extremely high. Because they never thought of it. There will be someone so bold to directly enter the city with a small number of elite soldiers and directly attack the Caoyun Governor's Palace.
Just as originally expected, when Wang Yuan and the others entered the Caoyun Governor's Palace. There was no resistance at all.
When they entered the Governor's Yamen, the Qing soldiers in the Caoyun Governor's Yamen didn't even know what was going on, after all, from ancient times to the present, they had only heard of someone attacking the city, but they had never heard of someone who would directly send elites into the yamen before attacking the city.
If anyone does this, isn't it looking for death?
But today, the Loyal Righteous Army really did it! And this is precisely the tactical lead, far ahead of the inevitability of this era.
This will Wang Yuan not only directly entered the governor's yamen, but also swaggered in. The Qing army in that house was completely stunned, and they didn't know what was going on at all? They even thought that someone had broken in, and that these people would actually kill people when they met.
Even the officials in the government office who came out after listening to the sound looked at Wang Yuan who entered the mansion in amazement, and even a few people took the initiative to stop them without knowing whether they were alive or dead! One of them even pointed at Wang Yuan arrogantly and reprimanded loudly.
"You pariah, if you dare to carry a knife to break into the government, you are not afraid to punish you for ......"
Without waiting for the official wearing the seven-grade official uniform to finish speaking, Wang Yuan, who was expressionless, directly slashed over and cut him to the ground, and the official, who was still stunned and even a little annoyed, finally understood what was going on at this time.
Killed!
Everyone was immediately stunned by this bloody scene, and the officials who were still in front of him weakened their legs, and they sat down on the ground.
"Kill the official! Someone reversed ......"
Several officials in the yamen shouted in panic when they fled, they never dreamed that they would encounter this situation, what kind of world is this, and someone dares to kill the people in the governor's yamen.
This scene completely subverted all of their understanding, after all, in their eyes, killing an official was an unthinkable thing.
"Rebellion...... Lao Tzu will rebel against you! ”
Wang Yuan, who was holding a waist knife in his hand, looked at the fleeing Qing puppet officials in front of him, and looked at those people in official robes crying there, shouting loudly.
"Lao Tzu is a Han Chinese, an upright Yan Huang noble! Lao Tzu is the standard commander of the loyal and righteous army, if you don't kill the Manchu Tartars, who else will you kill! ”
As soon as he roared like this, the Qing soldiers who rushed over after listening to the shouting could not react, and they were killed and retreated by hundreds of brothers of the loyal and righteous army who came in behind Wang Yuan with knives.
"Don't fight! Just kill and retreat......"
When Zhao Hongpin rushed over with more than 100 gathered brothers, he successively cut down the Qing soldiers who tried to surround and kill them, and shouted loudly to the brothers around him,
"Kill them, don't fight!"
"Quick, come on, kill them, kill this group of thieves......"
And the Qing officer Shi who was blocking Wang Yuan shouted loudly as he ran. Yes, seeing the Qing soldiers, they were killed and retreated by this group of wolf-like thieves.
Even several officials from the Governor's Palace, who were killed by them, were shocked by this scene and took a few steps backwards, but accidentally tripped up the steps and fell down.
"Quick, kill this thief!"
Seeing that another Qing army was killing from behind, he immediately shouted urgently, but before his words fell, those Qing soldiers were pierced through the body by several spears.
"You're going to kill grandpa!"
The official who tripped and fell to the ground looked at the killing god covered in blood like a ghost, which would have been frightened to say bad words, his crotch was loose, wet, and when the fishy smell came, he saw that there was no way to escape, and he hurriedly begged in horror.
"Hero, I, I'm also Han, I, I'm also ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yuan raised the knife in his hand, and the moment the knife fell, the head with the red top rolled down the steps, and the blood gushing out of his neck almost splashed on his head.
"Kill it, kill it in the house! Kill Kangde! ”
Wang Yuan's task is very simple, that is, to kill Kang Deshi, this is a decapitation operation, the core goal of the natural action is to kill Kang Deshi, the highest official of the Qing Dynasty in Jiangbei, as long as he is killed, the entire Jiangbei will be restored, which is just around the corner. At that time, the Manchu officials in Jiangbei must be in fear all day.
"When you're in the back......"
As soon as Wang Yuan's words fell, a flurry of arrows flew from behind the flower wall, and it was the archers in the palace who were hiding behind the flower wall and shooting arrows in this direction. Several loyal soldiers who were originally rushing to kill were suddenly shot through the body by arrows.
"Grenade ......"
Shouting vigorously at the soldiers behind him, Zhao Hongpin had already pulled up a wounded soldier of the Qing army from the ground as a shield to block the arrows shot by the Qing army.
"Grenades, blow them up......"
In his roar, more than a dozen grenades were thrown behind the flower wall, and after a series of explosions, when the flower wall was shrouded in gunsmoke, Zhao Hongpin had already killed it with a knife.
"Brothers, kill me ...... me"
Although the gate of the flower wall was closed, the soldiers who rushed to the wall immediately followed the past training, bent their knees and half-squatted on the side of the wall, and put their hands together, and the brothers who rushed behind immediately stepped on his hand and turned over the flower wall with force, and there was a sudden shout of killing behind the flower wall, and from time to time there was an explosion sound. But it was only a moment, the wooden door between the flower walls was opened, and as soon as the door was opened, when leaving Nanjing, because of a large number of stamina battalion officers left the Loyal and Righteous Army, Sun Xing'an, who had just been promoted to battalion officer, was eager to perform, and he immediately shouted at the top of his throat.
"The gunner is in front, the grenadier is in hand, and the knife hand is guarding the left and right ......"
The soldiers of the yamen who had already killed the governor's yamen quickly rushed over, followed by Sun Xing'an and Zhao Hongpin, and quickly pushed forward along the stone road in the mansion. Seeing the Qing army that dared to stand in the way, the pikemen who rushed to the front stabbed fiercely, and if someone rushed over from the left and right, the sword soldiers on both sides directly cut the opponent into meat sauce.
If there is an enemy in the distance, the grenadier in the middle will immediately throw a burst of grenades, and this tactic is a new type of tactic formulated by Zhu Mingzhong after the bloody battle of Tongjimen and based on the experience gained on the battlefield, which is more suitable for such a melee.
And this is also the difference between Zhu Mingzhong and other people in this era, for the military generals of this era. They tend to ignore the summary of tactics, and pay little attention to how to improve the tactical level of the troops according to the shortcomings exposed in the war.
However, military experience several hundred years later told Zhu Mingzhong that after every battle, through tactical summarization, it is conducive to improving the tactical level of the troops, so that officers and men can be more adept at combat. It is only through such a collective summing up that the tactical level of the troops can be finally achieved.
In this way, although the Qing soldiers in the governor's yamen poured in from all directions from time to time, they could not stop the elite rush of this loyal and righteous army at all, this team of more than 100 people, like a stone grinding in the governor's palace to crush this trying to block them Qing army, long and short weapons cooperate with each other, plus the long-range attack of grenades, for this kind of fighting, the Qing army has no resistance at all, or rather, they are not suitable for this kind of fighting at all.
From the very beginning, these people suddenly entered the Governor's Palace, until now, the Qing army that has been stunned has no way to organize effective resistance, although there is a battalion of green battalions in the Governor's Palace, but in the face of this group of wolf-like enemies, even if they finally organize a formation of resistance, they will always be blown apart by grenades thrown in, and those green battalion soldiers who are blown up are scattered in all directions.
When a loud bang came from outside the house, his face was pale and excited, and his lips trembled lightly.
"This, how can this be?"
Even now, I didn't know what was going on.
Not to mention that there is no early warning of the enemy attack on the city wall, even now, this explosion has been sounding for so long, and no reinforcements have come, could it be that these reinforcements are all dead?
Just when he was blown up by the bursts of explosions, he didn't know what to do, and when he saw Wu Pinya coming in a hurry, he hurriedly greeted him and said.
"Shanqin, this, what the hell is going on? Have you ever found out what ......?"
When he was excited, he suddenly stopped, although he had seen the knife in Wu Pinya's hand before, at first he only thought that it was this slave who came to protect his master, and when he could see the other party's eyes, he knew that he was wrong.
"Mountain, mountain diligence, I, I am plain, treat, treat you well, it is not thin......"
He looked at Wu Pinya who was walking towards him step by step in horror, and at this moment, he saw a familiar look on the other party's face.
"The surname is Kang, do you know that Wu is also from Henan!"
Holding a waist knife in his hand, Wu Pinya said when he looked at Kang De coldly.
"How many Henan people have you killed me! Today, Wu wants to avenge his hometown father......"
When the words fell, Wu Pinya, who had been waiting for this day for I don't know how many years, swung his knife and slashed over, although he was also considered to have led the soldiers when he was so excited, but he was a literati after all, when he reached out to block, his arm was suddenly cut in two, and in a scream, the knife cut directly at his head......
