Chapter 94: Outwit a change when you are strong
In the wing room of the west courtyard of the Moon Gate Cave, Lin Yi's 200 personal soldiers were all here, fully armed, but many of them lowered their heads, some looked embarrassed, some hesitated, and some were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks.
They have been soldiers for several years, and they can be called veterans. It has been less than two months since he was a soldier, and this is mainly the elite of the common people selected by Lin Yi from the warriors who defended the city recruited by Yongping, and it was Lin Yi who picked them out and took them with him according to their wishes after Yongping's three battles and three victories.
Since they became Lin Yi's personal soldiers, don't look at the military uniforms they just put on, no one is afraid, they have followed Lin Yi and the Tartars to fight several big battles, and they can win every time, and now they are brave every time they fight, follow Lin Yi, and point where to fight.
But today they have a tricky problem.
A large number of Jinyi guards are going to arrest their adult Lin Yi, they are a little difficult to decide, Jinyi Wei said clearly, it is none of their business, only Lin Yi is alone, but he can't bear to look at it like this, and he doesn't dare to do it.
They are not afraid of playing with their lives, fighting with thieves and fighting with Tartars, and they are all scrambling.
But in the face of the Jinyi guards of the imperial court, except for Zhang Hua, Er Hu, Wang Qi, and He Tao, the rest of them couldn't make up their minds, like an insurmountable chasm, in front of them, making them daunting and talking about the tiger's color.
Because they know that this battle is fundamentally different from usual, if they openly act with the factory guards tonight, it will be tantamount to killing officials and rebelling, and they will become thieves who are bound to be destroyed in the eyes of the imperial court in the future, just like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others.
They are now eating food and serving as soldiers, and many of them have their heads tucked into their belts and worn this military uniform, working hard for the imperial court, just to make ends meet, but if they break out tonight, from now on, they will not only have no food and salary, no war achievements, but also will be homeless, nowhere to throw, and face the danger of being exterminated by the soldiers of the imperial court.
And it's not just them who suffer, there are definitely their families and families. This is something they have to think about carefully.
What is the end of the rebellion? They're all thinking. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, when a thief rebels, he will be killed, and if he is heavy, he will be beheaded all over the door, digging graves and killing corpses, and even the nine clans.
If they are going to rebel, what is the difference between them and a thief? They are here to be soldiers, not thieves. Including Mr. Bai Wang Jian, he was also hesitant at this time.
After all, mutiny, rebellion, and killing of factory guards are too heavy in their hearts for them to decide.
Erhu was furious: "Could it be that we just watched Lord Lin being arrested and punished by them?" Without Lord Lin, we don't know how many times we have died, and your conscience has called the dog to eat? And we're still Lord Lin's guards, right? Look at you one by one, you are like bears, rebel and rebel, what's the big deal? They forced it! ”
Wang Qi also said: "Yes, Erhu is right, what crime did Lord Lin commit, he made such a great contribution, and he didn't get any reward, but he was guilty, is this still fucking heavenly?" If you don't go, I'll go! ”
Erhu and Wang Qi snorted, carrying his bow and arrows, and carrying his spear and walked out.
Zhang Hua stopped them and came over to speak, "Everyone, let me tell you, if you don't kill those brocade guards today, the court will not be able to spare you in the future, because if Lord Lin is arrested and punished, he is suspected of rebellion, we are his own soldiers, of course, we can't escape the blame, maybe we will be buried alive collectively, can we just wait for death!" ”
He Tao also lost no time in inciting, "Everyone, Zhang Hua is not scaring you, I dare to guarantee that they have finished cleaning up Lord Lin over there, and they will definitely come to clean us up next!" ”
"That's right, let's do it, it's like this." Someone couldn't help it, and the blood began to boil.
Zhang Hua said: "This brother is also wrong, Lord Lin said, tonight's problem will be solved in this courtyard, if we help the adults to settle these factory guards, as long as they don't go out of this courtyard, Lord Lin has a way, in a word, as long as Lord Lin is there, we are here!"
"Saving Lord Lin is actually saving ourselves!"
"Okay, save Lord Lin, do it with the factory guard, it's decided!"
In the end, these 200 people all made up their minds to save Lin Yi and work with the factory guards at all costs.
The courtyard next to them was Lin Yi's exclusive courtyard, and the small gate over there was all blocked by the Jinyi guard.
However, Wang Jian, Zhang Hua, Erhu, and Wang Qi quickly discussed a solution, relying on their special familiarity with this place, they led a group of people by themselves, acted separately, and decided to start from behind these brocade guards, and took them by surprise.
When Lin Yi single-handedly picked up the group of factory guards in the courtyard, these people quietly dispatched, and under the cover of night, they quietly touched the factory guards.
Because the courtyard where Lin Yi and the others were located was a large courtyard, and there were several courtyards in it, which were connected to each other through the moon gate. The outermost part is surrounded by a wall and a large iron gate.
Now the deployment of these Jinyi guards is that the outermost is 200 Jinyi guards to prevent anyone from running out, and also to prevent Lu Xiangsheng's more than 1,000 Guanning iron cavalry from killing them, but this possibility is not too big, Lu Xiangsheng would have started to rebel a long time ago, and he would not wait until now.
The more than 300 Jinyi guards who came in, in addition to guarding the various doorways, after publicizing tonight's policy to Lin Yi's personal soldiers here, they thought that Lin Yi, the 200 guards, would definitely not dare to act rashly, the strength of the factory guards was so terrifying, who would dare to fight them with the emperor's support? If more than 200 people dare to move, they will hit the stone with an egg and seek their own death. Mainly because these factory guards are too confident.
The results were unexpected.
Zhang Hua took dozens of people and touched the moon door, and Zhang Hua took the lead and stabbed a Jinwei with a knife.
"Are you going to rebel?" Another Jinwei exclaimed.
"Rebellion is rebellion!"
Zhang Hua and these dozens of people chopped up this brocade guard.
Then they rushed into the Moon Gate Cave and attacked the Jinyi guards in the courtyard, and the two sides scuffled, from now on, it was no longer Lin Yi who fought alone in the courtyard.
Zhang Mingzhi and Zhao Mingzhen, the two hundred households of Jinyiwei, saw that Lin Yi's personal soldiers were also very bold, and they really dared to rebel with Lin Yi, and ordered their subordinates to kill them all, and if they didn't leave any of them, the courtyard would be disorganized.
Erhu led more than a dozen people over a low wall, put down a few brocade guards and killed them, and when they arrived at Lin Yi's back window, Erhu was sharp-eyed and happened to see a brocade guard, who touched Lin Yi from the sneaky knife in the house.
The second tiger put down his spear, drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow.
The brocade guard sneaked into the house, intending to sneak attack Lin Yi from behind, but before the knife was raised, it was pierced by an arrow flying from the back window, and he threw the knife and fell in a pool of blood.
"Your Excellency, are you hurt?" The two tigers rushed to Lin Yi and saw that Lin Yi's left lower abdomen was bleeding.
"It's okay." Lin Yi tightened the strap around his waist, feeling that the injury was much more comfortable.
In tonight's scene, Lin Yi originally didn't want his guards to participate, but now it seems that it is inevitable, and he won't say more, only you live and die.
Lin Yi's 200 guards suddenly joined from different directions, and the Jinyi guards in this courtyard were unlucky, they had already been let go by Lin Yi dozens of them, and now the balance of forces between the two sides has changed, and after a while, the courtyard was full of Jinyiwei's corpses.
Zhang Mingzhi and Zhang Mingzhen looked at each other, there was some trouble tonight, one Lin Yi let them fold so many subordinates, and now Lin Yi's personal soldiers have come up again, they have to do it themselves, and they must fight quickly.
Under normal circumstances, the two of them rarely take action in person, and what they can appear in charge of is a big case, and the hundreds of captains, wrestlers and samurai of the Jinyi Guard under their command are settled, and there is no need for the two of them to do it at all.
But today's situation is special, the two of them have been watching from the side for a long time, and they didn't expect to meet a master like Lin Yi. The chief flag and the small flag have been dead for several times, and I feel that time has passed.
Therefore, the two of them didn't pretend to be forced next to them, and the two embroidered spring knives were unsheathed at the same time, and the bodies of the two flew up.
It is even more rare for two masters of Jinyi to shoot at the same time.
After the two strong shadows landed, as soon as they turned around, Lin Yi's guards fell one piece.
As soon as Lin Yi's knife broke the neck of a brocade guard, he encountered these two people, one in front and one in the back, and attacked Lin Yi with two knives together.
Zhang Mingzhi and Zhao Ming's real body was as fast as the wind, several feet high in the upper vertical direction, and as light as a feather in the downward fall, the two knives surrounded Lin Yi and turned straight away.
Lin Yi tried his best, but he didn't get the upper hand.
Lin Yi saw that these two masters were too difficult to deal with. Lin Yi's physical consumption is very large until now, and one is enough for him to deal with, and now it is two such masters joining forces to attack, Lin Yi is a little powerless, and the two of them attack one by one, and one capture, forcing Lin Yi to be in a hurry.
"Damn, if it goes on like this, won't Lao Tzu be finished today? No, we have to find a way to clean them both up. ”
Thinking of this, Lin Yi retreated while fighting, and suddenly he took a flaw and broke through the window.
Zhang Mingzhi and Zhao Mingzhen wanted to put Lin Yi to death in one fell swoop and not give Lin Yi any respite. Therefore, when the two of them saw that Lin Yi was going to run, where would they put it? Pong, two strong shadows also shot in through the broken window.
But when he got inside, Lin Yi was gone, and the doors and windows behind him were closed well.
Zhang Mingzhi and Zhao Mingzhen knew that Lin Yi was hiding, and the two of them were experienced, so they came to a back-to-back mutual defense sneak attack, and the four brilliant eyes searched in the house.
Follow the bloodstains, from the outer to the inner.
Suddenly, both pairs of eyes landed on one foot under the bed at the same time.
Looking at each other, the two of them nodded alertly, Zhang Mingzhi suddenly kicked the bed away, and at the same time, Zhao Mingzhen's knife arrived, and he was slashing the person under the bed, dripping with blood......
