Chapter 146 140,000 people were disarmed, and none of them were men
There was silence in front of the noon gate.
Xu Hongji and the others all looked at Yang Qing who suddenly appeared in the light in amazement, looking at this nightmarish opponent, in the black background of the Wufeng Tower behind him, his smile looked extremely strange and hideous under the light of the torch.
There was a whisper behind them.
"You, aren't you going to Tianchang?"
Zhu Guobi said tremblingly.
"Can't you come back if you go?"
Yang Qing looked at Kou Baimen beside him happily and said.
At the same time as he said this, the three gates in front of the noon gate opened at the same time, and suddenly there was the neighing of war horses inside, followed by the sound of the impact of iron armor and the trampling of horses' hooves on the floor tiles, and three armored cavalry like monsters appeared from the darkness. At this time, countless torches on the city platform extending outward on both sides of the noon gate suddenly lit up, and in the light of the torches, the same mounted cavalry continued to pour out from the city gate, and quickly lined up in front of the noon gate, hunting with small pennants on a spear, and on the city wall on both sides was a tax police soldier with a bird's gun, all the muzzles of which were pointed at the hoe army below......
"Didn't they go to Tianchang too?"
Zhu Guobi said like a collapse.
He's talking about the mounted cavalry.
"Do you still use them all? Five hundred is enough! ”
Yang Qing said disdainfully.
In fact, in the information obtained by Xu Hongji and others, these five hundred iron cavalry should not be in the palace, they should be in the military camp outside the imperial city, so the hoeing army has already been arranged, and all the bridge intersections outside the military camp are blocked, after all, they also know that once these cavalry rush up, they will almost no one can stop them.
However......
"It's fake in the barracks."
Yang Qing kindly explained the doubts in their hearts once again.
Zhu Guobi really collapsed.
Anyway, how did they know that the trapped barracks were just a group of Jinyi Wei logistics personnel wearing the same armor and having nothing to do to wander around, and even including the craftsmen of the ordnance station, the real five hundred iron horsemen, when Gao Dejie led another two thousand five hundred iron horsemen to cross the river, they had already entered the palace in batches, including their war horses, which also entered the palace in various ways such as pulling carts and carrying goods.
As for those noble brocade guards......
In fact, they were deliberately let go by Yang Qing and let them open the city gate, including those tax police teams who also pretended to be invincible and retreated, there is no battlefield more suitable than here, more than 100 meters wide, nearly 400 meters long A closed square, and there are no obstacles, a completely flat plane, and the ground is paved with floor tiles, this is simply the perfect impact field for mounted cavalry, and five hundred cavalry is enough to form a tight battle line.
All that's left is to let go of the horse's hooves and run wildly.
While Yang Qing and Zhu Guobi were talking nonsense, more than 200 horsemen had already rushed out quickly......
There are more than 200 riders in the back.
"Wei Guogong, you brought so many people into the palace in the middle of the night, is this going to rebel or to rebel?"
Yang Qing looked at Xu Hongji and said.
Poor Xu Hongji is not his ancestor Xu Da after all, he didn't even know that Yang Qing was just buying time for the iron cavalry array, he still put on a loyal posture stupidly, raised the sword in his hand and pointed at Yang Qing......
"Traitor, you falsely spread the edict of Emperor Daxing, forced the queen mother to hold the princess hostage, the old man is the king of Zhongshan Wuning, Shihe Guoen, how can you sit back and watch you, the traitor and the troubled dynasty, the brothers of the iron cavalry battalion, you and others are favored by the emperor of Daxing, why do you act for the tiger, and do not fight back to take Yang Rebellion with one blow, and those who behead Yang Rebellion will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver! Brothers of the tax police team, the old man is Wei Guogong, my Xu family has been in Nanjing for two hundred years, do you believe in the old man or this traitor! ”
He shouted with righteousness.
As soon as he finished saying this, a soldier on the nearby city platform suddenly pulled the trigger, and a bullet hit Xu Hongji's shoulder in the sudden gunshot, and Wei Guogong fell off the horse with a scream.
"Old thief, if my grandfather hadn't been ruined by your Xu family, would he have been able to run to the mountains and forests to be a savage?"
The soldier said indignantly.
As he spoke, he reloaded as fast as he could, ready to fire again.
Xu Hongji forgot where the soldiers of the tax police team were recruited, they are all shantytowns, what are shantytowns? Fleeing from their homes for various reasons, they have to build a shack in the mountains and forests, open some barren wasteland to collect medicine and hunt, or work as hired laborers to open mines and cut wood, etc., to put it bluntly, they are fugitives who have no household registration or can't stand the oppression. A large part of their source is the military households that are squeezed by these wealthy families to the point that they cannot make a living, after the collapse of the guard system in the late Ming Dynasty, the escape of the guard house is already a common phenomenon, and these people are military members, even if they are deserters, they may be arrested anywhere, and they can only hide in the remote places in the mountains as savages.
Xu Hongji wants to lobby them to defect?
Still sitting in Nanjing for 200 years?
Those two hundred years were generations of suppressed hatred for these people!
Xu Hongji's house slave hurriedly protected him.
Zhu Guobi and Liu Kongzhao looked at each other, their hands holding weapons were trembling, the initial courage and pride were gone, they had obviously fallen into a trap, Yang Qing, the thief, set a trap waiting for them to get in, and they were all fooled, but now there is no way to retreat, their rebellion is already a fact, and they are now enclosed in a narrow road, surrounded by towering walls on all sides, and there is only an escape road behind them......
"I'm afraid that he will do something, our army of 10,000 is still afraid that he will only ride a few hundred horses, and we will fight with him!"
Zhao Chengfu shouted.
"Kill, fight for them!"
The bandits behind them were clamoring.
At this time, in the eyes of these bandits, there was no other way but to fight hard, they didn't know Yang Qing and didn't know his ferocity, they had a whole army of 10,000, so why should they be afraid of hundreds of cavalry?
"Master Hou, what are you hesitating about?"
Kou Baimen said.
Zhu Guobi and Liu Kongzhao still did not move forward.
"Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, and others conspired against the palace and attacked the palace at night, the crime is unforgivable, take it immediately!"
Yang Qing on the city wall shouted.
The five hundred iron horsemen who had completed the formation immediately moved forward, and they lined up on the riding wall with Zhangba spears to control the speed of the war horses to accelerate, as if three steel walls were pushed forward in the corridor that was only more than 100 meters wide, and with the acceleration of the speed, the horse's hooves stepped out of the thunderous sound, with the echo of the surroundings, and the courage of the hoe traitor army was instantly swept away.
Even the legs of those bandits trembled.
They had never even seen the charge of ordinary cavalry, so how could they have ever seen armored cavalry? The regular army is scared when they see this thing, let alone their rabble?
Zhao Chengfu trembled with a gun.
Suddenly, with a scream, he turned his horse's head and galloped backwards, colliding with the soldiers behind him, and then the soldiers screamed, and everyone turned around in confusion, and then the same scene spread like dominoes among the hoe rape army at breakneck speed. But some still tried to resist, holding birds, bows and arrows, and so on, ready to shoot, and at this moment, the gunfire on the city platforms on both sides rang out densely, and the whistling bullets hit the dead bodies below. As the gunfire rang out, everything was in vain, and the army of 10,000 collapsed almost instantaneously like sand eroded by the current, and all the hoe traitors between the Wumen Gate and the Duanmen turned around desperately and trampled each other to flee.
Zhu Guobi and Liu Kongzhao also joined the ranks of the escape.
Only Kou Baimen did not run.
She rode her horse against the iron cavalry, and bravely slashed at an armored cavalryman, the thing in her hand was a toy to put it bluntly, the sword on the battlefield was not like this, the chopping cavalry had to use both hands to carry heavy swords, and her attack was only a scratch on the latter's breastplate.
But this was the only battle the hoe traitors fought.
From a woman.
A slave courtesan.
But the cavalry let her go.
Three waves of riding walls surged on both sides of her in an instant, and Wei Guogong, who was abandoned on the ground, crashed into the rout, including Zhu Guobi, Kou Baimen turned his head with a sad face, watching the surging iron horse crash over Zhu Guobi's war horse, and watched him fall and disappear into this torrent of steel......
She raised the sword in her hand and placed it around her neck.
"140,000 people are disarmed, and none of them are men!"
She sighed.
Then she pulled suddenly......
Uh, didn't pull.
She was stunned and turned her head to look at the big face that appeared next to her.
"Kou Baimen, right? What enmity do I Yang Qing have with you? ”
Yang Qing asked, holding her sword.
"You thief, robbed Xiangjun's sister, injured Hou Gongzi, and caused Mr. Umemura to be half dead, so heartbroken, it's not just me Kou Baimen, all the righteous people in the world want to get it and punish him!"
Kou Baimen scolded angrily.
"In this way, I am indeed full of evil."
Yang Qing said sympathetically.
"But I just like the way you hate me and grit your teeth but can't help me."
He said with a wicked smile.
Then he snatched Kou Baimen's sword out and threw it aside, and before she could react, he picked her up from the horse at once, and the hand was also shamelessly pressed in a certain position and grabbed it, Kou Baimen struggled angrily, but still couldn't get rid of his clutches, and at the same time, two brocade guards stepped forward, and Yang Qing immediately handed her over to these two.
"Tie her up and send her to me, and when I go back, I will let her know what stick punishment is!" Sister Xiangjun, Sister Xiangjun is waiting for you to be your companion! ”
Yang Qing said.
After speaking, he slapped Kou Baimen's little ass suddenly.
In her embarrassed exclamation, Yang Qing laughed wildly.
Immediately afterwards, the two brocade guards took Kou Baimen away, she was very heroic while struggling and angrily denouncing Yang Qing's crimes, looking like a warrior who was about to be escorted to the execution ground, and in a pile of bloody corpses not far away, Zhu Guobi, who was also blurred in flesh and blood, watched his woman being snatched away, he trembled and stretched out his right hand, muttered something in his blood-filled mouth, and then the hand hung down weakly......
