Chapter 57 The Capture of the City 7

Yu Zhilong looked into the distance in the city again, there were bursts of killing sounds in the direction of Liu Qi and others' charge, it seemed that they had met the officers and soldiers again, Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan gathered nearly two hundred elites this time, because they could enter the city smoothly, these people were high-spirited, excited, shouting and galloping in the streets and alleys, the enemy was unprepared, and they were immediately killed and cried their fathers and mothers, and they were scattered in rout.

Yu Zhilong saw that there were no faces of Ming Shijie and others, so he hurriedly asked Sun Xing, and Sun Xing told him about the beginning of Mingxiong's matter. Yu Zhilong was secretly surprised, but he didn't expect this matter to have such twists and turns. After asking about the direction and distance of the Han army garrison where Mingxiong went, Yu Zhilong stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, and found that there was also a fire shining there, and the fire head was shaking, obviously there was a war. Since there has been a fight here for a long time, there is still no figure of Mingxiong, Ming Shijie and others, and it is estimated that they are now surrounded by enemies.

After a while, Luo Cheng wrapped a cloth on his head and came up to meet Yu Zhilong, Yu Zhilong saw that he was injured in the head, and the cloth was soaked in blood, so he hurriedly grabbed his body to bow down, pulled him up, and asked a few words about the battle situation below.

"Come on, just light a few more fires here in the city, the bigger the fire, the better." Leaving Luo Cheng and Sun Xing to lead a team of soldiers to guard the prisoners, after guarding the city gate, Yu Zhilong went down to the city and got on his horse, taking Qian Zheng, Wu Side, Ji Xiancheng and hundreds of horsemen to Mingxiong's place.

The direction of the county government and Mingxiong did not coincide, the county government lived in the city, and Mingxiong went to the west of the city. Along the way, Yu Zhilong encountered several rebels, the rebels were already panicked, and they heard that the thieves were plotting to seize the south city gate, and then heard the sound of "killing" outside the city, and the sound of "killing" came from far and near, and even accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, they poured into the city, and they were originally ordered to reinforce the south city gate, and they didn't want to meet these evil gods on the way. Most of these local rebels had not yet been on the battlefield, and their morale and combat skills were far inferior to those of the Meng rebels, and they quickly broke up and fled into the alleys on both sides of the street under the charge of cavalry like a storm.

Yu Zhilong didn't pay attention to it and continued to go straight to Mingxiong's station.

Mingxiong mobilized his subordinates to rise up, but unexpectedly fell into a heavy siege, fortunately, although the Mongolian soldiers were more brave, the number was small, although the Han army and the volunteers were numerous, most of them were rabble, dozens of people rushed to kill, so they had to retreat to a big house, seal the doors and windows, and prevent the enemy from attacking. Timur, the 100 households of the Mongol soldiers, ordered a strong attack several times, and the loss of twenty or thirty people did not work, and the Han army retreated one after another, surrounded the big house, shouted a lot, and really contributed to attack less, and the volunteers were even more unbearable. Timur was so angry that he jumped to his feet and urged the Han army to step forward, and the leader of the Han army was a general banner, and he rushed twice with the forty people, and seven or eight people were broken, and he refused to go on again.

Originally, there was a Han army of 100 households here, but after hearing the sound of killing in Nancheng, Timur quickly divided a team of Han troops to reinforce, and he just wanted to take Mingxiong as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Mingxiong's martial arts are strong, and most of his soldiers are willing to fight to the death for him, and the two sides are in a stalemate for a while, Mingxiong sees that the situation is not good, and he is unwilling to fight to the death with the enemy, so he simply shrinks his defense, and delays these officers and soldiers here as much as possible.

A group of people confronted each other inside and outside the house, but it was not as fierce as the battle at the city gate, and finally the high-density general banner suggested to Timur that since he could not attack it, he should simply set fire to the house! Timur saw that he really couldn't, so he might as well try burning the house, so he sent someone to the house to fetch a large bundle of firewood, piled them up under the doors and windows, and ignited the fire.

As the fire grew, smoke rose, and everyone in the room began to lose their seats. Mingxiong had a calm face, and wanted to take someone out to kill him, but Ming Shijie hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Fourth uncle, slow down!" We are fighting here, Lord Sun should have been at the city gate at this time sneak attack, if it goes well, it is estimated that the city gate has been taken, if the estimate is good, there must be a vanguard of our army outside the city to be on standby, see the city gate has changed, will definitely come to support, since we can't get out here, why not contain these enemy troops here, so as to facilitate our army to enter the city! At this time, it dragged on for a moment, now it's just a smoke, this house is mostly stone, green bricks, if it burns, it will take a while and a half, why don't you use some bedding to temporarily block the doors and windows, and then delay for a moment? "This house is the accommodation of the Han army, and there are many bedding things in the house.

"It's up to you." Mingxiong thought for a moment and agreed, and a group of people used futons to firmly block the doors and windows, and found a few fire candles in the room, and also lit them.

After less than a stick of incense, the firewood burned bigger and bigger, and the flames began to ignite the thatch and reeds on the roof, and the Han soldiers and volunteers who were defending outside the house could not help but smile. Timur was impatient outside, and vaguely heard the sound of killing at the south gate, he sent someone to report to the beggar, hoping to get reinforcements, but the beggar sent someone to order him to immediately bring people to the south gate for reinforcements, obviously the situation there was not optimistic.

Before Titim left, he had people shout inside, to the effect that he would only punish the evil and not sin others. But after shouting several times, there was no response.

After a long period of effort, the people inside were only afraid of being smoked and dizzy. A Mengbing brand with a beard on his chin is secretly proud. Unexpectedly, there was a loud bang, and the door was kicked open from the inside, and the door panel collapsed, flying into the crowd outside, knocking down a few unsuspecting volunteers. The firewood piled up at the door was scattered, and the flames burned the hair buns of several volunteers, so panicked that these people dropped their weapons and slapped their hands on their heads. A big man jumped out of the house first, danced with two knives in his hand, and entered the volunteers like a tiger pounced, it was Mingxiong!

It turned out that Akio and the others in the house had been holding on hard, and when they saw that the reeds on the roof had been completely ignited, they knew that they could not continue to hide indoors, so they decided to rush out. Mingxiong kicked the flying door board first and rushed out. Ming Shijie and the others came out with the shout. The officers and soldiers outside didn't notice it for a while, and in the blink of an eye, they cut down several times.

Timur was about to go to the south gate, and when he saw this, he couldn't leave for a while. "Rush forward, kill the thief, and the adults will be rewarded!" Since he couldn't leave for a while, Titimur simply commanded the army to besiege Mingxiong and others. Losing the geographical advantage, Mingxiong and others were surrounded in the middle, rushing from left to right, and the situation was dangerous.

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and a landslide-like cry could be heard in the distance.

"The city is broken! The city is broken! The city is broken! ”

The officers and soldiers were all discolored, looking at the south city gate from afar, where people shouted horses neighing, it was the time when Yu Zhilong and others galloped into the city. Mingxiong and the others were all overjoyed when they heard this, and when they heard this movement, it was clear that a large number of reinforcements had entered the city! With the strength in his hands, the weapons danced more urgently, and dozens of people repelled the hundreds of surrounding management troops. At this time, the situation was chaotic, and the officers and soldiers were also more suspicious, and they did not dare to retreat easily, seeing that Mingxiong and others were crazy, they were reluctant to step forward desperately, and they did not care about Timur's repeated urgings, but they just formed a large circle and formed a confrontation with Mingxiong and others. For a time, the battlefield in the entire city was the most densely populated with soldiers, and the casualties were the fewest in the world.

Finally, the roar of war horses came from outside the station, and Yu Zhilong led people to kill.

There is only one gate to go out of this station, nearly three zhang wide, Yu Zhilong galloped in, and suddenly saw hundreds of officers and soldiers in the center of the courtyard, and was taken aback, but Yu Zhilong did not dare to hesitate, did not reduce the speed of the horse, and rushed to the officers and soldiers, more than 100 cavalry followed up one after another, and people shouted that the horses neighed, and these more than 100 cavalry were like hot knives into butter, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were repeatedly cut into several pieces!

The officers and soldiers saw a large number of thieves and horses swarming, and suddenly lost their fighting spirit, these hundreds of people were running around in the compound, but there was nowhere to hide, Yu Zhilong saw that a member of the general in front of him was clearly clothed and armored, and was surrounded in the center, knowing that it was the main general, he rushed over without hesitation, and the horse stepped on the knife and split and dispersed more than a dozen guards, the general had a pale face, and he wanted to fight with a knife, but he couldn't stand up to Yu Zhilong's horse fast knife faster, a sharp white light flashed, a head flew high, and Timur died.

Ji Xiancheng and others loudly persuaded them to surrender, shouting to abandon their weapons and avoid death, the officers and soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit, and when they saw that there was no hope of escape, they had to abandon their weapons and surrender one after another.

"The villain has eyes but no beads, he doesn't know the righteousness of adults, he is tired of adults and goes to dangerous places, and villains die!" Under the introduction of Ming Shijie, Mingxiong came to meet Yu Zhilong first. Although Ming Shijie had already introduced Guo Zhilong, Mingxiong personally saw that he was so young, with a slender body, bright eyes, heroic posture in the firelight, blood-stained clothes, and admiration in his heart: What a Han family! Come forward and bow with a long bow.

"Why is Ming Hero so gifted? I know that the heroes are great, today's Mengyuan is tyrannical, the world is difficult, and the people are living as if they are in dire straits, so they have the meaning of joining hands with you to clear the universe. Today's events are just the first step in a journey of thousands of miles, I don't know what you think? ”

"The ambition of an adult is higher than the blue sky, although Ming is vulgar, dare not obey his fate?"

Yu Zhilong laughed, although Mingxiong's official position is small, but he is quite brave, his army management and training have a reputation in Yidu Road, although he has many ideas for building the army, but he does not know much about today's army, with Mingxiong, at least how to build the army in the future, how to train, how to arrange baggage logistics support, how to camp and march, etc.

Yu Zhilong had a hunch that the importance of Mingxiong's help this time was no less important than getting this county seat.

There were originally more than 50 soldiers brought out by Mingxiong this time, and after this battle, there were still more than 30 people left. On the contrary, the officers and soldiers who fought with him lost sixty or seventy people, which shows the strength of the soldiers trained by Mingxiong.

"Without further ado, please ask Ming Hero to lead the way, I'll go to the county treasury as soon as possible!" Yu Zhilong commanded. Halfway through, knowing that Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan had already killed the mansion of the county Daru Huachi beggar, Yu Zhilong felt that since the station had been taken, the county treasury was the most important target. "Please get on the horse, and the little one will lead the way!" Mingxiong saluted again. Some of the Chinese were left to guard the captives, and the rest rushed to the county treasury.

After another hour or so, the infantry brigade finally arrived, Liu Zhengfeng and Zhao Shidang entered the city, the battle in the city had long ended, the prisoners were all concentrated in the original station, the fires everywhere have been basically extinguished, the corpses of both the enemy and us will be sorted out by the soldiers who entered the city, and they will be mourned in a centralized manner.

As the sky grew brighter, families cautiously opened their doors in the morning light to observe the movement in the street. Last night, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the city was full of fighting, and the officers and soldiers were defeated, and the soldiers were hidden in the streets and alleys or in the houses. These routs abandoned their weapons, re-entered the houses and robbed the people of their clothes to change into, and now they did not dare to go out for a while, so they hid in the corners and observed.
