Chapter 290: Accumulation Change (15)
The people's army was suddenly attacked from the side, and it didn't last long, but Jiang Jie and other young men wearing chain mail and holding steel knives and guns were killed, and people were frightened and frightened, and two or three hundred people fell in a moment.
Don't look at it as just a boy, fighting back and forth is as easy as buying vegetables and cutting melons, and without the slightest hesitation, the rebels will be killed.
Dian Kun was leading his men and horses to the east at this time, and the west side only held on not to attack, killing and killing was to find that the rebels on the east side suddenly retreated, Dian Kun, the battlefield general, with many years of experience, advanced and retreated, clearly knew that he had few people, the enemy suddenly retreated, it was impossible to lead him deeper, not far behind the rebels is the fire, they just want to retreat and have nowhere to retreat, it must be Baili Yan who killed from behind and messed up the rebel formation.
Thinking of this, Dian Kun killed even harder, regardless of casualties, and launched a strong assault on the rebels. At the same time, Bailiyan has also turned around and rushed westward to kill, opening a bloody road from behind the rebels, seeing that the Liang army is menacing ten steps away, and the rebels can't resist and are scattering, Bailiyan (Wei Xian) immediately ordered Jiang Jie:
"Jiang Jie, quickly retreat!"
"No!"
The Liang army was killed from the front, Bai Liyan and the others were wearing the armor of the Xian army, if they collided with the Liang army head-on, they would care if you were yourself or a rebel in the dark, and they wouldn't use a sword to poke you to pieces.
At this time, the purpose of the attack has been achieved, and the retreat is to take advantage of the chaos to withdraw the original way to prevent being injured by mistake, and after the Liang army disperses the rebels, it is not too late to converge.
So Bai Liyan led the young man to take advantage of the chaos to retreat, and retreated to the small street where he was killed. In the small street, there were already chaotic troops defeated and retreated, mixed with official and civilian troops, and they were storming the backyard gate of Wang Caidong's house.
Bailiyan fell and retreated into the small street, colliding with a group of people, at first the rebels did not have their suspicions, under the dim torch light, but faintly found that Bailiyan and others did not have a white towel on their right arm, and the people on both sides immediately became nervous:
"Where are you waiting!" The centurion shouted in a salty accent.
Seeing that he was nervous, Bai Liyan said coldly:
"Pioneer General Wei Xian, suffer death!"
Baili Yan was cut down when he lifted it, only to hear the centurion cry out in horror:
"No, General Wei spares his life!"
So even though he heard the crisp sound of gold and iron, the centurion held his sword to block, but the horizontal knife had already slashed down, and a strong slash slashed the bronze sword in two. Bailiyan retracted his might, but the knife edge was already on the man's shoulder.
"You know me!" Bai Liyan didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in the chaotic army, but he didn't seem to have any impression of this person.
"The subordinate is a household in the west of the city, and he went to the general Yicaotang three years ago to see a doctor."
"I don't remember this matter for a long time, you are a county soldier, why did you rebel!" Baili Yan asked sharply.
"The boss rebelled, where can I wait for these subordinates to be the master, if we don't rebel, our lives will not be guaranteed."
At this time, the small street was sabre-rattling, there were only 100 people in Bailiyan, and there were as many as two or three hundred people on the other side.
"So now, is it against or down."
"I'll fall, I'll fall."
"Descend, you brethren!"
The centurion stretched out his hand to untie the white towel wrapped around his right arm, and when the others saw this, they either hesitated or hesitated, and Baili Yan pressed the man's shoulder with a horizontal knife and said:
"Quick, let them change their banners!"
"Obey, obey orders......" The centurion readily agreed, turned around and said, "Brothers, General Wei is benevolent, let's surrender!" ”
Under the feudal military and political system, officers often respond to every call, and countless rebellions in history are all poles pulled up by magnates, generals, and officers.
The centurion gave an order, and dozens of his subordinates did not hesitate to remove the white scarf on their right arm, and the rest of the rebels and civilian armies that had been broken up quickly became obedient under the coercion of Bailiyan, and successively tore off the white scarf on their right arm to indicate the change of flag.
At this time, Dian Kun led his troops to defeat the rebels on the east side and was coming in the direction of the small street:
"General, the Liang army has been killed!" Jiang Jie said.
"Take your brethren to hold them steady, and you will go to the joint."
"No!"
It's better to be careful in the eventful autumn, no one knows if these rebellious soldiers can be relied on, in case of a stab from the back, no one can withstand it.
The Liang army had already reached the small street at this time, but did not come in, but laid down many people to block the exit to prevent the rebels from killing out again from the small street.
Bai Liyan came to the intersection carefully, and made sure that it was Liang Jun, so he stepped forward and shouted:
"This general Wei Xian, Liang Jun don't want to release arrows."
Liang Jun had already received an order to respond as soon as he found Wei Xian's traces. Although not many people really know Bailiyan, when it comes to this, no one doubts that anyone jumped out to impostor:
At this time, one of the Liang Jun commanders hid behind the wooden shield and shouted:
"Is Your Excellency General Wei?"
"It's the general, quickly bring people and horses to respond."
"You wait!"
After saying that, he reported the news to Dian Kun, and when Dian Kun heard the news, he ordered to stop the assault and shrink the entire line, and then turned around and retreated to the side street to see Bailiyan.
"General Wei Xian, how is the situation now!"
"Alas...... It's hard to put into words. Except for the royal palace and the camp in the south of the city, all the rest of the city had fallen into the hands of the rebels. ”
"That shows how many people there are in the rebels."
"At least thirty or forty thousand!"
"So many, you Xianjun can't turn it back!" Dian Kun said angrily, according to this number, there are only 40,000 horses in the Lingling Palace, all of them have rebelled, and King Xian still has his life? Where can it survive tomorrow dawn, isn't this the rhythm of dying every minute.
Bai Liyan said at this time:
"It's not all, the Black Turban Army sneaked into a lot of people in advance, and the rebels are not all Xian troops, the Inner Palace Forbidden Army should still be in the hands of the king, and the south of the city that the rebels are attacking is the headquarters of Sima Luan Chong of the city government, Luan Chong should not have rebelled yet, so the rebels will attack the camp in the south of the city first."
Dian Kun rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that you lied to the ghost, who knows if you didn't have a bad stomach and dragged us into the water.
"General Wei, Master Hou is waiting in the mansion, after the future is broken here, you will lead the men and horses to withdraw into the mansion."
"Well, thank you, General."
At this time, Dian Kun said tepidly:
"General Wei, don't forget, you owe me Liang Guo a favor!"
Bailiyan was just about to turn around, almost without a head to plant a dog to eat, and at a critical moment, he was caught by Liang Guo with a pigtail, it seems that this favor will definitely not be easy in the future.
But now she can't control this, Bailiyan ordered Jiang Jie to quickly transfer the Wang and Zhou families, and cover the two daughters of Gao Xun, Chunrou, and Chunfang to go to the Minister's Mansion.
As for the centurion and the more than 300 people under him, Bai Liyan planned it like this:
"What's your name?"
"Back to the general, in the lower Wu Deng."
"Are you brothers willing to put down the rebellion with Ben?"
"Let it be sent."
"Okay, now go to the Legation Mansion with me immediately, and put down the rebellion with Ben."
"No!"
The change in the situation was quite subtle, most of the rebels who attacked the south of the city and besieged the Liang Minister's Mansion were Xian troops, while the rebel descendants of the Black Turban Army who infiltrated the Lingling Dynasty surrounded the palace with the Outer Palace Forbidden Army, which Gongsun Yue had already bought.
In this way, the two groups of people who are fighting in the south of the city are essentially the Xian army's own people and the people's army, and Gongsun Yue's use of this method is nothing more than letting the Xian army consume itself to reduce the threat of the Xian army being controlled by the Xian king again.
The group of people successively withdrew into the Liang State Legation's Mansion, and the rebels who had been scattered before quickly counterattacked after the reinforcements arrived.
The rebels did not receive the order to forcibly attack the Legation, and seeing that the Liang army had been "defeated and retreated", they immediately increased the encirclement, and brought in a thousand crossbowmen to face the gate of the Legation to prevent being killed by the Liang army's bows and arrows.
Seeing Ji Tong in the minister's mansion, Bai Liyan told the inside story of Gongsun Yue's rebellion in detail, but Ji Tong was puzzled:
"General Wei, just by virtue of the attack on the imperial guest, can you conclude that Gongsun Yue of Xiangguo has secretly communicated with the rebels?"
"Lord Hou, since Gongsun Yue became prime minister, none of his actions can be said to be a move to win the hearts of the people, on the contrary, in recent years, the perverse heavy taxation and harsh government, the treasury of Xian State has not been enriched, on the contrary, the national strength has become weaker and weaker, and the people have become more and more poor, most of which are all under the manipulation of Gongsun Yue, and have been secretly transferred to the hands of the Black Turban Army, otherwise how could the Black Turban Army have so many financial resources to support millions of troops."
"But Ben Hou is still puzzled, how can there be such a long-term rebellion in the world, if you want to say that Ben Hou can still believe it in three years and five years, now there will be seventeen, eighteen or even twenty years, how can there be no flaws and news."
Ji Tong is difficult to understand because the Foolish Sect and the Male Argument Dao used religious means to create a form of community that has not yet appeared, that is, an underground secret society, which is an extremely mysterious form of organization.
In order to unite the inner and in the name of God, this kind of organization has adopted cult methods and superstitious measures to further exaggerate its cult ideology and control the middle and lower strata of the backbone of the cult, so as to achieve the set goals that the top leaders hope to achieve. At the same time, there should be another security system that has not yet been mastered, which is used to eradicate the moles who have not been determined, that is, the intelligence hoe and traitor organization within the Black Turban Army.
The emergence of the Black Turban Army is by no means a huge military-political group that has developed in a moment, but a huge plan that has been carefully planned and plotted for a long time by an underground organization and society.
In the more than 20 years before Gongsun Yue was exposed, there was almost no evidence that the Foolish Sect and the Eloquent Dao secretly planned earth-shattering changes, just like Ji Tong's reaction now, who would believe that a conspiracy needs to be planned for ten or twenty years, or even a century, no one will believe it.
"Master Hou, with all due respect to Wei's bluntness, I am afraid that the Eloquent Dao and the Foolish Sect have been plotting for more than ten or twenty years, and their greater conspiracy has not yet surfaced, if Gongsun Yue's rebellion cannot be extinguished in time, the destruction of the Xianguo will be imminent, and the Liang State will probably also follow in the footsteps of the Xianguo."
"Does General Wei mean that the Black Turban Army intends to destroy my Liang State?" Ji Tong couldn't help but say an answer that surprised even himself.
"Otherwise, why would Wei borrow the Hou Ye's war horse and not return it, it's not for the sake of Liang Guo."
"......" Ji Tong was speechless, thinking that just now your life will be flattened in a blink of an eye, and the feelings are not even, the grace of saving lives cannot be compared with the grace of saving the country.
