Chapter 450: The Battle of Laizhou City
Qin Ming and Sima Xiong fought alone, the two rode war horses to fight, they were both powerful and brave, mace to the big knife, the spark of the fight was straight up, one round of fighting, Qin Ming said secretly, shouting, and two hits, it shocked my hands numb.
Over there, Sima Xiong secretly scolded, Qin Ming of the dog day, cracked Lao Tzu's tiger mouth, and immediately in the second round, the two horses hedged, and it was a hard collision, bang, the weapons collided, and then quickly separated.
The two horses whirled around and hedged again, Qin Ming waved his mace, and suddenly shouted: Ah.
Sima Xiong was cold, secretly scolding you What is the name of the dog, just such a distraction, the speed was slower by 0/a second, Qin Ming's mace hit Sima Xiong's helmet, Sima Xiong turned over and fell off the horse and died on the spot.
The prefect of Sima, who was watching the battle on the city wall, also sighed: "It's not good, Mingjin, collect the troops." ”
He wanted to collect his troops, but it was too late. Yang Zhi saw clearly, saw that Qin Ming had won, and immediately led the cavalry to launch, the cavalry of these two battalions Yang Zhi's hundreds of soldiers were all cavalry archers, and they took the bow and arrow, and attacked first, and dozens of people from the Laizhou army fell off their horses in a round of arrow rain, and they collided together after only shooting two rounds of arrows, and Qin Ming's battalion used maces as the main weapon. While hurrying back, while biting tightly, the cavalry of the Laizhou army suffered a big loss, more than half of them were killed in ten minutes, and only about 200 people escaped back.
Arrows were fired on the city wall, and Qin Ming and Yang Zhi did not dare to chase too much, although this battle was won, there was still no progress.
Back in the camp, Yang Zhi said: "Brother Fei sent a letter to the military department, ask for support, otherwise there will be many dreams at night." ”
Qin Ming said: "It's easy to ask for support, but the two of us will be embarrassed, we don't have any decent merit for coming to the Jeju army, it's better for us to sneak attack tonight, it's really not okay to ask for support tomorrow." ”
Yang Zhidao: "Okay, contact the intelligence department and see what information you can give us." ”
The intelligence department did not set up a branch in Laizhou, but before the attack, the military department considered that the situation in Laizhou City was complicated, and sent Shi Qian and Xiao Monkey of the Second Intelligence Department to lead a few subordinates to infiltrate temporarily, in case they were needed from time to time.
Soon contacted Shi Qian through the code, Shi Qian looked like a thief, looked a little obscene, and was very unpopular with fierce generals like Yang Zhi and Qin Ming, but work is work, and no one dares to slack off on military affairs.
Yang Zhidao: "Director Shi, Sima Xiong of Laizhou City died in battle, and the prefect organized soldiers to defend the city and no longer fight, what good way can you do if you can't attack it for a long time?" ”
Shi Qian said: "I just came out of the city, and the prefect has transferred more than 1,000 soldiers, hundreds of officials and thousands of strong men to defend the city. ”
"So many people were transferred." Qin Ming was also surprised, you must know that defending the city is not the same as coming out to fight, when you come out to fight, the strong men will only disrupt the formation, and it is not very useful, but relying on the strong city wall to defend the strong men is different, they will throw stones downward, which plays a greater role.
Shi Qian said: "It seems to be very tight, but in fact, in the early hours of the night, Zhuang Ding and the soldiers are more tired, I led the people of the intelligence department to answer from the city wall, only dozens of soldiers need to enter the city, and then divide into two roads, all the way to open the city gate, all the way to capture Sima Governor's Mansion, as long as Sima Fan is captured, this thing is considered a success." ”
Qin Ming didn't expect that Qian was quite smart at this time, and immediately discussed with Yang Zhiyi, although this move was very dangerous, but there was no other way to go, so it could only be so.
That night, after twelve o'clock in the morning, Qin Ming and Yang Zhi led their troops outside the city. The two discussed, Yang Zhijian was ready, he led people to climb the wall, enter the city, and then capture Sima Zhifu and open the city gate, Qin Ming was responsible for leading people to attack.
In the woods, under the moonlight, Yang Zhi selected a hundred men, all of whom changed their armor, wore black night raid clothes, and their faces were also blackened with pot ash.
Yang Zhi was dressed like this, Yang Zhi said: "This sneak attack is very risky, once we can't open the city gate smoothly, we will all be dead, and I, Yang Zhi, can't guarantee that everyone can come out alive." However, the military department can guarantee a pension of 30 taels of silver, a military merit field of five acres of land, and a promise to raise the elderly and children, and if they can survive, the reward will be many. If you don't have any problems, you'll go. ”
Everyone said that they understood that this was a death squad, and since they were willing to join, they had already figured it out.
Immediately, everyone picked up the wine bowls, each drank a bowl of spirits, and then followed Yang Zhi to the city wall.
The city wall of Laizhou is relatively high, there are more than six meters, and there are many strong men on the city wall who are on duty at night, but there is one thing, these strong men are temporarily filled, and there is no systematic training, and they are on duty during the day, and they come to the night when they fall asleep, and they hold spears one by one and snore against the city wall. In a remote place, Shi Qian was really bold and put down three soft ladders with the little monkey.
The group of people led by Yang Zhi had also practiced usually, and they all climbed up and swished, and it didn't take long for them all to climb up.
Yang Zhi and Shi Qian gestured, and the two made a division of labor, Shi Qian led fifty soldiers to the inn in the city gate to arrest Sima Zhifu, and Yang Zhi attacked the city gate.
However, there is a requirement from the time to seize the Sima prefect before attacking the city gate. Yang Zhi agreed, don't look at Shi Qianping's hanging Langdang, but it worked very well at the critical moment, and he took the soldiers to pounce on the inn. Why does Sima Prefect not live in the yamen but live in the inn, because Sima Prefect asked to live and die with the city, and originally planned to live on the city tower, but unfortunately there is no decent city tower in the city of Laizhou Mansion, so naturally he can't live on the city tower, so he found an inn in the city gate. After all, Sima Fan is a civilian official, he doesn't understand how cruel the war is, he thinks that the city is very safe, and he arranges more than a dozen catchers on duty, and the vigilance of the catchers in the middle of the night is also very poor.
The little monkey pointed to the guest room, this one in Tianzi is Sima Fan's room, the soldiers were about to kick the door, Shi Qian smiled, banged in the past, and knocked on the door in a hurry.
"My lord, my lord, no, the enemy has entered the city." Shi Qian said.
Sima Fan had insomnia for most of the night, just in a daze, when he heard someone say that the enemy had entered the city, he was frightened, and he knocked on the door without wiping, and saw a group of strange people with black faces and black clothes, and was immediately startled.
"Who are you?"
Shi Qian had already retreated at this time, and a platoon commander who led the team said: "We are from the Jeju Army, from now on you are already our prisoner, you are a scholar, we don't want to embarrass you, but don't play any tricks." ”
The prefect of Sima was controlled like this, don't look at him as a literati, he was not afraid of danger, and asked: "What about the officials on duty, they were all killed by you?" ”
The platoon commander was not fooled and said, "This is not a question you should ask, you just have to follow us." ”
Immediately transferred the Sima prefect's mansion, at this time Yang Zhi also received a signal to seize the city gate, Yang Zhi waved his hand, and led the team quietly to the city gate hole, dozens of soldiers set up a fire here to roast the fire, seeing Yang Zhi and others coming, they thought it was their own people, and shouted: "Password." ”
He was answered with a cry of "Bomb drop." ”
Dozens of burning bamboo tubes were thrown over, and the sound of explosions came and went, and the entire city gate suddenly became a purgatory. The latch was opened, and there was a drawbridge outside, and by this time the soldiers on the city wall had already been killed.
Yang Zhi held the family heirloom knife in his hand, the cold light flashed, brushed, the two nearest city gate troops were in different places, and dozens of soldiers behind him shouted together to kill the past, and the city gate army hurriedly met the battle in panic.
Killing the city wall from the city wall road, the Jeju army fought bloodily and cut down the suspension bridge. As soon as the starter finished his second kick, his arm was cut off by the Laizhou army, and Yang Zhi went over to cut down the soldier.
At this time, Qin Ming received the signal and shouted: "Enter the city, immediately the cavalry charged into the city, carried the torch and killed it, as soon as the cavalry entered the city, it was chaotic, the defending soldiers had no command, they fought separately, and they were quickly broken by each one, those who were annihilated were annihilated, and those who surrendered surrendered."
Laizhou City is in chaos, and it is chaotic until the light of day. Qin Ming invited the Sima Prefect out, and the Sima Prefect was fine except for being a little haggard.
Qin Ming said: "Please ask Lord Sima to come out and maintain order in the city, otherwise the people will only suffer if they are in chaos." ”
Sima Fan sneered: "Don't think about it, this official doesn't cooperate with the chaotic party, just kill me." ”
Qin Ming and Yang Zhi discussed it, and seeing that Sima Fan was unwilling to cooperate, Yang Zhi said: "Drive him away, let's maintain it ourselves, and if there are few troops, we will have fewer troops." ”
Laizhou Mansion is not stable, so naturally Sima Fan can't be driven away immediately, but it is very troublesome to put him under house arrest. At this time, the soldiers came to report: "Adjutant General Ma Lin has arrived, bringing two thousand infantry." ”
Yang Zhidao: "Don't admit your mistake, Ma Lin is Sun An's deputy general, where are there 2,000 soldiers." ”
Qin Ming said: "Let's go and see first, don't be pretended by the enemy." ”
Qin Ming and Yang Zhi came to the outside of the city, saw Ma Lin, and knew each other, people can't be wrong, but the military order must be checked, and the military department ordered to come over to assist in the city defense.
Ma Lin said: "The military department considers Laizhou City to be special, so it specially sent me to assist. ”
Yang Zhidao: "It's just that where did your battalion get the 2,000 infantry. ”
Ma Lin came over and muttered a few words, and Qin Ming and Yang Zhi suddenly realized.
Ma Lin led the army into the city, and 2,000 infantry with long knives walked along the main streets of Laizhou City with neat steps, and then divided into five teams, each team of 400, patrolling non-stop.
In this way, Qin Ming and Yang Zhi freed up their hands to pack up the surrendered soldiers and deal with the many problems left behind in Laizhou City. Qin Ming and Yang Zhi are very grateful to Ma Lin.
The two thousand infantry were actually an empty city plan ordered by the military headquarters to be sung by Ma Lin, and Ma Lin brought only forty veterans, and the rest were all dock porters in military uniforms.
