Chapter 224 A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet

Almost at the same time as Yang Xin spoke, the man suddenly took out the fire fold, and then pulled out the fuse hidden on his body......

"Brothers of Shifokou......"

He roared wildly with a fire fold in one hand and a fuse in the other.

However, before he finished shouting, Yang Xin suddenly appeared in front of him, the guy who had just pulled out the fuse was stunned for a moment, but he still lit the fuse with extreme speed, but the next moment Yang Xin's big foot appeared on his chest, and almost instantly his chest deflated, and the whole person flew out upside down as if he had been hit by a galloping war horse.

This is Yang Xin's full strength.

This guy flew out of the city gate in an instant like a mortar cannonball that was fired, with the smoke trail of the fuse burning.

Then it turned into a ball of flame......

"Get down!"

Yang Xin, who was still maintaining a side kick action, roared and hurriedly lay on the ground.

Then the explosion slammed into his eardrums, and the explosion surged over his head with gunpowder smoke and dust, and when he raised his head again, even the two city gates that had been opened inward were closed by the explosion of air, and he got up as fast as he could and looked back......

Well, Yan Shenggong has already laid down!

In the face of danger, Yan Shenggong always showed a reaction speed comparable to Yang Xin's.

A few of the swingers behind were swept down by the air waves.

But there were no casualties.

If it explodes in the city gate cave, it will definitely cause serious casualties, and even Yang Xin himself will have to suffer a little, but it is not a big deal to kick the explosion outside the door hole, as long as the explosion of black powder of this level is not in a small space, it is difficult to have much lethality. Yang Xin stood up casually and patted the dust on his body, while the Yan Shenggong behind him also trembled and stood up, but he still couldn't stand up after all, just sat on the ground until the soldiers behind him stepped forward to help him up, and several other soldiers stepped forward to push open the closed city gate.

"Yan Shenggong, you won't really be hurt, will you?"

Yang Xin said.

"I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere, I want to go back to Qufu, I want to go back to Qufu!"

The spirit of the Holy Father finally collapsed.

"Ha, I can't help you!"

Yang Xin said.

Then he motioned for the soldiers to set up the Holy Father, and continued to follow him into the city.

When he walked out of the city gate, he found that there had been heavy casualties inside the door, and the green-robed officer should have been next to the doorway before, but he directly suffered the force of the explosion and was blown in half, and several dead bodies fell to the ground, and an official office on both sides that originally collected taxes was blown up, and a green-robed official stretched out his hand in the ruins and kept screaming.

There was also chaos overhead.

If it was an explosion inside the city gate, then the outside would not be affected at all, but the volley explosion that was kicked in was almost entirely borne by the people in the city.

Even the tiles on the castle tower were blown away.

The people above wailed.

"Take over all the gates of Yangzhou!"

He said to Huang San without looking back.

This is the remnants of the Smell Fragrance Sect......

Of course, whether it's true or false is another matter.

However, it is not necessarily fake, because the actual sect leader Wang Haoxian has not been caught so far, and he was caught in Yangzhou in the original history, which means that the power of the Wenxiang Sect has long infiltrated the city, and it is not good that the Wang family still has a secret industry here. With the wealth accumulated by the Wang family, coupled with the business network, it must be necessary to run a stronghold in this city, but this person shouted with a Shanxi accent, and this is also the base camp of Jin merchants.

Although this is Yangzhou.

But the Yangzhou salt merchants who left many legends in history actually did not have Yangzhou people.

In the Ming Dynasty, especially in the early and middle Ming Dynasty, it was the Jin merchants who controlled the salt industry in Yangzhou, and in the late Ming Dynasty, that is, the merchants of Huizhou began to rise.

The entire city at the end of the Ming Dynasty was a battle between the Jin merchants and the Hui merchants.

But the Jin merchants are still strong.

This struggle, which lasted for half a century, was finally ended by the bloodbath of our Qing Dynasty.

Then there is the world of Hui merchants.

And if it was instructed by the Jin merchants, then it may have something to do with the wild boar skin, because the smugglers who supplied grain to the wild boar skin in the north were all backed by the Jin merchants in Yangzhou.

In short, it's complicated.

But Yang has never been in the habit of investigating cases.

His habit is to arrest and kill all the masterminds he thinks are probable, and he is too lazy to do such an obvious waste of energy as investigating cases.

"Lord Admiral, we don't have enough manpower, the little one has been here before, and there are more than a dozen city gates outside here, why don't we go back and call some brothers?"

Huang San said cautiously.

This is not Wuxi City, Wuxi actually has four gates, of course, not the water gate.

And Yangzhou is only ten city gates outward, and the three hundred Dangkou army can't be controlled no matter what, but at this time the convener is too late, after all, it takes almost two days to get here from Wuxi.

"No!"

Yang Xin smiled.

He gestured with his gaze to the brocade guard who was following.

The latter immediately untied an iron cylinder that had been carried on his back, then pulled out the fuse inside, propped up the two brackets on the iron cylinder, and inserted them directly into the gap between the stone slabs of the paving, and then took out the fire fold and lit the fuse. The next moment, accompanied by the flames sprayed from behind, a rocket roared out, dragging the flames straight into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it exploded in the sky and turned into a cloud of red smoke.

"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet!"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

The next moment, at the gate of a mansion in front, a large number of soldiers in red uniforms poured out with the same Zhangba spear, followed by a formation in front of the door, and then ran directly to this side.

At the same time, countless such soldiers appeared on both sides of the avenue that led straight ahead.

Well, the reason why he brought three hundred Dangkou soldiers to Yangzhou is very simple.

There are already 3,000 in the city.

A month and a half earlier, his army of 3,000 Bandits had already gone south, and they were disguised as merchants, and it took them a month to reach Yangzhou on foot, and then they also entered the city as merchants. Inside the Rujiang Gate is Yangzhou New Town, that is, the original commercial area is enclosed by a city wall, which is crowded with countless merchants from almost the entire Ming Dynasty, countless boatmen, hired laborers, and smugglers waiting for the river to be opened, and the complexity of the population source is comparable to that of the urban village of the modern city.

Isn't 3,000 people hiding in such hundreds of thousands of people like sand sprinkled into the desert?

No one will know about it at all.

Including their weapons are also transported in casually, countless materials come in and out of the city every day, not to mention a few cold weapons that are already legal, even cannons can actually be easily transported in.

Yang Xin's order to them was very simple, that is, after seeing the red signal flare, they immediately assembled towards the place where the signal flare was.

It was originally meant to be in case of emergency.

It's not that Yang Xin has long planned to attack Yangzhou.

Rather, the city is the best place in the area to hide an army.

He was transferred five hundred miles a month and a half ago, how could he think of today, but he felt that the fifteen hundred Wandering Kou army was a bit small after all, and it was not flexible enough to use, so he transferred these three thousand people to the south secretly, and then hid in this city that is most suitable for hiding and waited for summons. It's just that today he himself came to Yangzhou in person, and those soldiers who heard the news knew that they were going to do it, so they had already been armed and on standby in their respective hiding places under the leadership of their respective battalion commanders and captains, and they knew that they should come out after the explosion, but they were still waiting for signal flares under strict discipline.

As soon as the flare was raised, all the soldiers who were already on standby immediately poured out.

Not only on this street, but in fact, at this time, in the entire Yangzhou City, there were groups of swinging troops pouring out to converge here.

"Dashuai!"

He Kun, the brigade commander who led the 3,000 Dangkou army, walked in front of Yang Xin with the nearest battalion.

The Dangkou army in the north is still a battalion unit, but when multiple battalions are needed to act together, Yang Xin will appoint a brigade commander to command, but it is still not a permanent position, after all, he told Tianqi that he would disband this Dangkou army after digging the river, so there is no need to be too formal.

As for the big handsome......

This can actually be called the general soldier in the Ming Dynasty.

But not all the general soldiers, but the general soldiers of the town guard, the general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were divided into the general soldiers of the town guards, such as Xuanfu, Liaodong, Jizhen and other general soldiers, as well as the general soldiers sent by the envoys, that is, to carry out combat missions with the army, such as the current group of general soldiers in Liaodong. The general soldier of the town guard can be called the commander, and it has almost become a practice, but the general soldier can not be called the commander, as for Yang Xin is not the chief soldier, but his governor is already at the level of the chief soldier, and no one can say anything if his subordinates like to call him the commander.

After all, it's just an honorific title.

It doesn't have any meaning in itself, not to mention that Yang Xin is also considered a high authority.

After all, his uncle is 9,000 years old.

He's just a handsome, what's it?

"Very good, take the brothers to block all the outward city gates, from now on only allowed to enter and not to exit, unless I agree, even the Yangzhou prefect will not work, whoever dares not to listen will do it directly, a total of ten outward city gates, a three-hundred-brother brother, Huang San, you still bring the artillery team with me."

Yang Xin said with satisfaction.

He Kun immediately turned around and greeted the battalion commanders who came from behind, and quickly assigned their respective tasks.

They want to say that the long-distance march is indeed inferior to Huang San, but the degree of discipline is far beyond the latter, as the battalion commanders arrived, and then quickly received their tasks, each led his subordinates straight to the city gates, and the assembled teams of them ran neatly forward, immediately causing a new round of chaos in the restabilized Yangzhou City.

As for Yang Xin......

He took Huang San and the others to push the cannon and went straight to the small east gate.

Yangzhou is the old and new city, and there are two city gates in the middle that control the east and west.

The small east gate is the closest to him, occupy the small east gate and then go along the city wall to control the big east gate, all the gates of the entire Yangzhou city are under his control, close the door first and then play something else, it is said that the city even the anti-party of the Wenxiang sect has appeared, then this problem is very serious.
