Chapter 907 The messenger is coming
Mao Xianwen opened the north gate of the city, took 500 soldiers, and rushed straight to the rogue in the northwest corner, and the 500 fresh army suddenly entered, accelerating the demise of the rogue.
While Mao Xianwen was killing the enemy, one asked: "Brother, where did you get reinforcements?" ”
"Where do you say we are?" A bloodied cavalryman swung his sword at the rogue in front of him, and the blade was so sharp that he almost cut off the rogue on his left shoulder.
"Northern accents?" Mao Xianwen kicked away the rogue in front of him and said: "Sure enough, it's the Beijing army, only the Beijing army will recruit soldiers to the northern provinces!" ”
"Brother, you have come well, these rogues will be annihilated soon," said the blood-stained general: "But there will still be rogues coming, we can fight again, but the wounded soldiers ......"
"What does the brother want to say?"
"Can you let the wounded soldiers into the city to rest?" The bloodstained general said: "If you can let the doctor show it, it would be the best, it is really not easy to train a cavalryman, but it is really not easy to ......"
Mao Xianwen hesitated for a moment, and saw that there were indeed many wounded soldiers on horseback, so he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Da Suo, take the injured cavalry brothers into the city to rest, and find a doctor as soon as possible!" ”
"Yes, sir!" The big lock made a gesture and said, "Injured brothers, follow me into the city to rest first, and when we have recovered from our injuries, we will kill the rogue!" ”
Although no one responded, nearly 100 wounded soldiers came one after another.
When Xu Wenqi saw nearly 100 cavalry rushing towards the city gate, he immediately became alert and hurriedly shouted: "Who are you?" Why is it close to the city gates? ”
Da Suo hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord, these are wounded soldiers, they have lost their combat effectiveness, Lord Mao asked the villain to take them into the city for treatment!" ”
Xu Wenqi took a closer look, these people were really staggering, their armor was torn, they were covered in blood, and many soldiers had already lost their weapons.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered the soldiers at the city gate to let them go.
The wounded soldier entered the city gate hole, and a soldier lying on horseback due to injuries raised his head slightly to look at the open city gate in front of him, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!
Entering the city gate, he slowly sat up straight, and when he saw that there were only a dozen defenders in the city gate, he couldn't help shouting: "Do it!" ”
The wounded soldiers, who were about to die and wanted to live and die just now, suddenly opened their tiger eyes, and one raised their swords to slash at the defenders, and the defenders were caught off guard, and they were all cut into several pieces, and even the big lock that led the way was not spared.
Xu Wenqi heard that the sound at the city gate was wrong, and hurriedly brought the soldiers to check, but those "wounded" cavalry had already killed all the soldiers inside the city gate and were destroying the city gate.
"Sure enough, it's a rogue trick!" Xu Wenqi shouted loudly and immediately rushed over with his soldiers, but most of the guards in the northern city were taken away by Mao Xianwen, and only three or four hundred soldiers remained, and nearly half of them were still injured.
The city gate was opened up as a battlefield again, and the Ming army and the Mandate of Heaven army were killed together.
Although the Ming army had a numerical advantage, the Mandate of Heaven army was cavalry after all, and the battlefield was only in a small space outside the city gate, and there were not many soldiers on both sides who really participated in the battle, and most of the soldiers only shouted and cheered behind.
This kind of battle is really life and death, the Mandate of Heaven army will never easily withdraw from the city gate that has been occupied, and the Ming army is to defend the city to save their lives......
Outside the city is a huge meat grinding ground, an open battlefield, the soldiers on both sides are in full contact, and the battle is more fierce, dripping blood and cold light, mutilated corpses, and the desperate screams of wounded soldiers......
With the addition of the last gangsters in the south of the city, the situation showed a brief balance, and it was also the moment when the casualties were the heaviest!
Xu Wenqi, who was in the city gate, was anxious at the moment, in addition to scolding Mao Xianwen in his heart, he personally supervised the battle, hoping to squeeze the cavalry out of the city as soon as possible.
Thinking of Mao Xianwen, he suddenly moved in his heart, and hurriedly asked some soldiers who had no chance to fight to rush to the city to shout, ordering Mao Xianwen to rush back quickly.
If Mao Xianwen can enter from the rear and attack the officers and soldiers in the city back and forth, he can deal a fatal blow to the rogue at the city gate!
Xu Wenqi knew that there were too few soldiers in his hands, and the other three city gates were not fighting at this time, so he went to ask for help.
Mao Xianwen, who was fighting the rogue with the cavalry outside the city, although he didn't understand why Xu Wenqi asked him to return to the city, he was still ready to leave the battlefield.
The cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven saw that the situation was not right, but they divided half of the cavalry, turned the head of the horse, and began to pursue and kill the infantry of Mao Xianwen's department.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, not only Mao Xianwen, but even the rogues are stunned!
The coalition forces that were still fighting against the Liukou just now had already achieved absolute superiority on the battlefield, and they were about to annihilate the Liukou, but at this time, they were fighting with their own people.
The Mandate of Heaven was a surprise attack, and the officers and soldiers were chased and killed by the cavalry in an unsuspecting situation, and by the time they reacted, they had already suffered a large number of casualties.
Although Mao Xianwen's brain was dizzy, he also understood most of it, Xu Wenqi summoned him back to the city, it must have been a problem with the wounded soldiers of the cavalry, and at this time he was chased and killed by the cavalry on the battlefield.
However, in the face of the powerful cavalry, he really has no better way than passive defense, even if he wants to retreat to the city, it is impossible.
The rogue general Xie Fengzhou was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand that they all stopped moving, but watched the excitement on the side.
The cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven freed up their hands and slaughtered the soldiers of Mao Xianwen's Ministry with all their might.
Xu Wenqi didn't expect Mao Xianwen to be stumped by the cavalry of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and was scolding Mao Xianwen for being slow, but he didn't expect the soldiers observing the city to hurriedly run over, "My lord, it's not good, there are a large number of soldiers outside the city......"
"Soldiers? Whose soldiers? Xu Wenqi's heart was cold, and he had a faint bad premonition.
"The villains don't know, they didn't make a banner......"
"No flags?" Xu Wenqi immediately thought of the cavalry that you didn't have a banner just now, he pushed away the soldiers in front of him, turned around sharply and came to the city, and when he looked down, he suddenly gasped.
The city was densely packed with countless soldiers, at least tens of thousands of soldiers.
There will not be so many officers and soldiers, they must be rogues!
To Xu Wenqi's surprise, these new soldiers, like the autumn wind sweeping away the remaining fallen leaves, not only stayed outside the city and were annihilated by Mao Xianwen's department, but even the rogues were annihilated by them?
Who are they?
Why did the officers and soldiers be wiped out together?
Xu Wenqi had just confirmed that they were rogues, but the rogues didn't need to play bitter tricks at all now, these soldiers were attacked, and Qizhou might not be able to defend them......
Thinking of Qizhou City, Xu Wenqi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Xu Wenqi expected it right, just returned to the city gate, the officers and soldiers had been defeated, the wounded cavalry had already poured into the city, and the soldiers outside the city had already rushed to the city gate......
No matter who these people are, it will not be a good thing for the officers and soldiers, or for Qizhou City!
He watched the cavalry at the city gate, receiving the infantry outside the city into the city, and his mind was stunned for a moment, and he stood in place, allowing the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army to be bound like wolves and tigers.
The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven surrounded Qizhou on all sides, and except for a few rogues from Zhang Xianzhong's army who escaped, the Ming troops inside and outside the city were captured.
After Li Zicheng entered the city, he appeased the people in the city a little, and then led the soldiers to raid the Jingwang Mansion.
Although King Jing was not as wealthy as the Chu Wangfu in Wuchang, he also got a lot of money and food, and more importantly, he destroyed the Jingwang Mansion and beheaded the Jing King Zhu Cixuan, the prince Zhu Hezhi and other clan members, and cut off the back road of the civil and military forces in the city.
Niu Jinxing didn't spend much effort, so he persuaded the civil and military forces in the city.
The guerrilla general Yang Fu, who was appointed as the Qianhu official of the Mandate of Heaven Army, was responsible for selecting the city defense army from among the prisoners of war, and the number did not exceed 1,000.
Tian Tangguan, the governor of Qizhou, was reinstated, and Yue Bi was appointed as the president of the court, and Li Xin, the official of Qizhou, was appointed as the tax official of Qizhou.
Xu Wenqi, deputy envoy of Xiajiang Defense Road, Zhang Yilong, deputy general, and Mao Xianwen, general of the staff, although they also defected to the Heavenly Mandate Army, they were not given specific positions for the time being, and remained in the big tent as staff members.
Li Zicheng supervised Tian Tang and Li Xin immediately implemented the "Land Law" of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Office, and marched to the east of Guangji and Huangmei counties.
Sun Kewang lost his troops under the city of Qizhou, but there were only more than 1,000 soldiers in his hands, and he had already been frightened by the Mandate of Heaven Army, and under the pursuit of the Mandate of Heaven Army, he fled all the way to the east.
But the two cities were all looted and killed by Sun Kewang, the houses in the city were seriously damaged, the people were plundered and killed, and even the county government became an empty courtyard, and the officials were either killed or had already fled.
If you want to restore order in the city as soon as possible, you must use thunder means and bodhisattva hearts!
Li Zicheng pondered left and right, and finally appointed Xu Wenqi and Zhang Yilong, who were captured in Qizhou, as the magistrates of Guangji and Huangmei counties.
When Xu Wenqi was captured in Qizhou, he was the deputy envoy of the imperial court to the Xiajiang Defense Road, a typical civil official, who once served as the prefect of Huangzhou and managed a small Guangji County, and his ability is not doubtful.
Zhang Yilong was originally a deputy general in Qizhou City, and in fact he was born as a civil official, at least on the surface, he can be civil and martial, and his many years of military career have left a lot of majestic momentum on his body, which belongs to the kind of evil spirit.
Li Zicheng left Niu Jinxing to assist Zhang Yilong for a period of time, so that he was familiar with the laws of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and he personally led the army east out of Huangmei, approached Susong County, came to the eastern boundary of Huangzhou, and confronted Zhang Xianzhong across the thunder water.
According to the return of the rangers, Zhang Xianzhong has an army of 100,000, but Li Zicheng estimates that the actual number of soldiers is between 10,000 and 20,000, and will definitely not exceed 30,000, except for the people and the families of the soldiers.
The Mandate of Heaven Army on the west bank of Leishui, in addition to the two regiments of the seventh battalion and the four regiments of the Fengtian battalion, as well as the four regiments recruited by Li Xin in De'an Mansion, and the soldiers of the ten regiments, the total number of soldiers exceeded 50,000, which was twice as many as the soldiers of Zhang Xianzhong's department.
With 50,000 soldiers to confront Zhang Xianzhong's 20,000 soldiers, Li Zicheng felt that he had suffered too much, so he divided the Yang Chengen Division of the Fifth Regiment of the Independent Battalion and the Li Rugui Division of the Sixth Regiment.
Yang Chengen's troops went north along the river and attacked Qishui County, Huangzhou Prefecture, and Huangpo County occupied by the imperial court in turn; Li Rugui's troops followed the eastern boundary of Huangzhou and attacked Luotian, Macheng, and Huang'an counties at the western foot of Dabie Mountain.
The military transfer had just ended, and Li Zicheng was thinking about Zhang Xianzhong in the big tent, He Xiaomi hurriedly ran over, "Governor, the envoy sent by Zhang Xianzhong is here!" ”
