Chapter 305: Dedication to the City
Wang Yan limited the surrender on three days, and Tong Yanghe resorted to the strategy of raising the flag, so that the green battalion soldiers in the city were in turmoil and wavering in their thoughts, but human nature was greedy, and most people still hoped to be able to carry the flag and become people on the people.
The hearts of the people in the green camp were almost all biased towards Tong Yanghe, but by the third day, the atmosphere in the entire Wuchang City suddenly reversed.
In a tavern in the city, several Green Battalion soldiers gathered to discuss the words that began to circulate in the city today.
"Brother Niu, is what you said true? Wuchang really has no reinforcements, and the Governor is deceiving us! ”
"How could I lie to you, Wuchang was surrounded by the Ming army, Li Si was a soldier under Lord Liu, guarding the northern city wall, and every day I saw the Ming army's full and strong troops, controlling the sailor warship to show off their might on the river, Prince Ying's messenger couldn't enter Wuchang at all, where did the governor get the news of reinforcements. Besides, even if Prince Ying really defeated Xiangyang and rushed over to help, wouldn't there still be the Yangtze River in the way? Have you ever seen Eight Flags who can swim? ”
"I heard that the flag raising thing is also fake, do you know?"
"Naturally, I heard that the Governor can't be the master at all, and even if he wants to carry the flag, only officers with more than 1,000 generals can be incorporated into the Eight Banners, and there is no business for us at all."
"That's not right! Lord Admiral, tell us that the white and yellow banners of the Han army have almost all been destroyed, and the eight banners of the Han Dynasty are short of nearly 15,000 people, and as long as we fight bravely to kill the enemy, we can be incorporated into the eight banners. ”
"Your Admiral Sun was originally a person from the Eight Banners, and he surrendered to the Qing court when he was in the Great Ling River, and his family was in Beijing, so he was naturally unwilling to surrender, so he wanted to lie to you to defend Wuchang. Although there are 15,000 people in the Eight Banners, as long as there are brothers and young men in the family, they will fill it, so how will it be our turn? Besides, even if we can really raise the flag, can we live to that time? ”
"So, we've been deceived from above!"
"What do you think?"
A group of Qing soldiers and green battalion soldiers couldn't help but be silent for a while.
For the green battalion soldiers, they are just soldiers to eat food, for the Ming Dynasty and for the Qing Dynasty, there is not much difference, they originally expected to be able to carry the flag, now they know that it is basically impossible, and Wuchang has no reinforcements, I am afraid that the Ming army really wants to attack at any cost, and the city is inevitable.
When the time comes, as soon as the three-day period passes, don't say anything about raising the flag, even your life will not be saved, that Chu Guogong is quite fierce to the Qing soldiers, and under the city of Yuezhou, he used the heads of the green battalion to cross the landscape, and killed the prisoners in the pit under the city of Wuchang.
Now that the dream of raising the flag is shattered, if they miss the three-day period, then they will only have a dead end. \u000b In the middle of the ring, a Qing soldier stood up suddenly, "Dry ~ The Ming army will give three days, once today passes, there is no chance to surrender in the future, my wife is still in the city, I can't just die." ”
"It's useless if you don't want to fight, the top doesn't want to surrender, and wants to gamble with our lives on their future, what can we do?"
When the Qing soldier heard this, he was depressed for a while, so he had to sit down and take a sip of a bowl of turbid wine in front of the table, his face was full of bitterness, and suddenly he saw that the old soldier opposite was very calm on his face, so he couldn't help but ask for help: "Brother Niu, you are an old senior, is there any way to think of a way out for the brothers?" ”
When the old cow brother heard this, he smiled slightly, put down the wine bowl in his hand, hooked his fingers, and it was also the green battalion soldier who came over with his ear, and all the green battalion soldiers saw this, their expressions moved, and they came up one after another.
In the corner of the tavern, a green battalion general, a person drinking in the corner, he is Zu Kefa's deputy general Zhang Yingxiang, because he exaggerated Wang Yan's strength at the beginning, so that Luck De fell into Wang Yan's plan to attack the west, and finally was demoted to the city gate by Luck Dehun, and now he has done it again.
At this time, he heard all the words of the green camp in his ears, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he took out a few copper plates from his chest, threw them on the table, and got up and left the tavern.
On this day, a scene in the tavern was staged all over Wuchang, and rumors that were unfavorable to the Qing army spread in the city.
Today is the last day of the three-day period, so Tong Yanghe is also very cautious, sending the Eight Banners to patrol the city non-stop, and he himself did not leave the south gate until dark and returned to the governor's palace.
It was the third watch of the night, Wang Guangen led three hundred cronies' men, came to the south gate, the eight banners guarding the city gate Niu Lu Abuzhen, saw him coming, but did not have any suspicions, after all, yesterday the Ming army attacked the city, Wang Guangen was desperate to defend the city, and also sent people to support him.
"General Wang, it doesn't seem that you are on duty tonight, why did you come back in the middle of the night?"
A cold light flashed in Wang Guangen's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Tonight is the last day of the three-day period, I really don't feel at ease in my heart, I'm afraid that someone will be frightened by the Ming army and want to sacrifice the city, so I took my subordinates to guard the door with the Eight Banners warriors!" ”
Wang Guangen said as he walked towards Abuzhen, and one of his hands was already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the soldiers behind him also had a nervous face, but under the cover of the night, it was not easy to be detected.
The distance between the two is getting closer and closer, and Wang Guangen is about to burst out, but Abuzhen smiled and said: "General Wang is really a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and after the flag is raised, we will be a family." You came just in time, and Admiral Sun was also worried that someone would open the city and surrender, so he also came to inspect with men and horses, and now he is on it. ”
"Admiral Sun?" Wang Guangen was shocked when he heard this.
At this time, a figure suddenly leaned out of the city tower, it was not Sun Dingliao, who was it?
Wang Guangen saw that Sun Dingliao was squinting at him, and there were a large number of henchmen and horses behind him, and his heart suddenly felt cold.
For a while, he couldn't help but make up his mind, there were five hundred soldiers guarding the gate, if Sun Dingliao's manpower was added, even if the three brothers attacked from three sides, they might not be able to occupy the city gate in a short time.
At that time, Tong Yanghe will definitely lead the Eight Banners to rush to support, although he has instigated the rebellion of the Green Battalion in the city, but there will still be a fantasy about the existence of raising the flag, and then a melee will form in the city, and his soldiers and horses will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and his ability will be questioned by Wang Yan.
On the city tower, Sun Dingliao observed Wang Guangen for a moment, but then he said: "General Wang, I am watching here, you can take your subordinates back to the camp~"
When Wang Guangen heard this, his face couldn't help but shudder, and Abuzhen in front of him also noticed the change in the atmosphere, and couldn't help but take a step back.
At this moment, Wang Guangen immediately fell into a dilemma, and at this moment, on the city tower, there was a change, a green battalion general standing behind Sun Dingliao, but suddenly leaned towards him, Sun Dingliao sensed that something was wrong, and was about to scold, but the general suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed Sun Dingliao's chest.
That is Zhang Yingxiang, a large amount of blood gushed out of Sun Dingliao's chest, but the people in the city and under the city were dumbfounded, Zhang Yingxiang saw this, and immediately roared at Wang Guangen under the city: "General Wang, don't you do it yet?" ”
With a bang~, a rocket soared into the sky and then exploded.
Wang Guangen immediately kicked Abu Zhen in the stomach, and then swung his knife to kill, and the three hundred soldiers behind him immediately fought with the Eight Banners under the city.
On the city tower, a group of green battalions watched in amazement as Zhang Yingxiang killed Sun Dingliao, and then saw the green battalion soldiers under the city fighting with the Eight Banners soldiers, and they did not come up to kill Zhang Yingxiang, but roared to kill the Eight Banners soldiers in the city.
Now the situation is obvious, Wuchang is worried about internal and external troubles, Wang Guangen, who has more than 5,000 people, will sacrifice the city, the city will definitely not be able to hold, if Sun Dingliao is still there, they may not be good, but as soon as Sun Dingliao died, a group of green camps immediately made a decision, even some of them were loyal to Sun Dingliao, and they were immediately hacked to death by everyone.
With the explosion of fireworks, there was a sudden uproar in Wuchang City, Wang Chang and Wang Guangtai killed the city tower from the city walls on both sides, and the five hundred and eight banner soldiers were suddenly defeated, Abuzhen was hacked to death by Wang Guangen, and the other was also killed.
Tong Yanghe heard the change in the Governor's Mansion and wanted to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, but the green camp in the city was already chaotic, and the generals saw that someone was offering the city, and they didn't dare to do anything to raise the flag.
In the south of the city, Wang Guangen finally took control of the city gate, and he shouted: "Open the door!" The gate of Wuchang City was immediately opened, and the Ming army immediately swarmed into the city.
On July 5 of the second year of Longwu in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Guangen dedicated the city, and Wang Yan, the Duke of Chu in the Ming Dynasty, captured Wuchang, an important town in Huguang, which shook the world~
