Section 7 Late-night riots
It was night, in Liaoyang City.
In a deep house compound near the school grounds, dozens of people gathered in a room and whispered something, and some strong men were alert around the courtyard, looking like they were facing a great enemy.
"Outside of Chen Yuan, those people died really miserably! Two of my nephews also died on the southern wall, and the whole family died! ”
"That's right, as soon as the Tartars came, they killed all the prefects and other officials, and then did all the evil in the city, who hasn't been harmed by the Tartars! Now the Tartars are using us Han people as cannon fodder to resist the imperial army, if we sit idly by, sooner or later we will be harmed by the Tartars! ”
"I heard that the army besieging the city outside the city is the Hanwei army, and the main general is the little general! If we take the opportunity to make an accident, the little general will definitely respond to us! ”
After everyone talked about it, an old man in his sixties waved his hand and said, "The old man you said you know it, and the old man also hates the Tartar captives very much. Tell me, how many men do you have? ”
"I have thirty families!"
"There are twenty-seven men in my family!"
"I have forty men and ten family members!"
"I can gather more than fifty people!"
After listening to the old man, he bowed his head and said: "The old man can also gather more than a hundred people, counting everyone's people, we can gather a total of six or seven hundred people." Whether it's life or death, we have to give it a try, and it's better to die on the battlefield of killing the Tartars than to be slaughtered by the Tartars like pigs and dogs. ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked resolute, and they swore and swore that they wanted to fight with Jiannu to the death.
The old man said, "Now you go back and gather your men and horses, and without further ado, after an hour, everyone will gather near the south city gate with your men and horses." Remember, don't get too close, and be careful not to be discovered by Jiannu. ”
Everyone nodded yes, and took advantage of the night to leave to mobilize people.
At this time, a middle-aged man said to the old man, "Father, do we really want to get involved?" ”
The old man stood up slowly and said solemnly: "Son, you remember to me, if our family is destroyed by Jiannu because of this, it will also sacrifice his life for the country and die a well-deserved death; But if the national dynasty can't defeat Liaoyang this time, and we are willing to be obedient to the Tartars, it will be a slave to the country! The old man would rather die for the whole family than be a slave to the Tartars! ”
An hour later, hundreds of men and horses gradually gathered in the streets and alleys near the south gate of Liaoyang, and these hundreds of strong men were holding swords and guns, and their eyes were burning as they looked at the Jiannu soldiers on duty near the city gate. Chen Zhijing, the son of Old Man Chen, was also among them, leading everyone to wait for the opportunity.
After a while, Chen Zhijing saw that the night was getting darker and the Jiannu soldiers' precautions were gradually relaxed, so he waved his hand to the hundreds of strong men behind him, and everyone stepped forward with weapons, ready to attack and seize the city gate.
Chen Zhijing saw the opportunity and suddenly shouted: "Old and young masters! Take the gates and kill the Tartars! ”
"Kill!"
"Revenge!"
Hundreds of angry warriors waved the weapons in their hands and rushed to the city gate, and the angry roar was like a thunderbolt, which startled all the Jiannu soldiers on duty, and then they all looked at the hundreds of people and horses who rushed past in panic, and hurriedly blew the horn of the alarm. After a while, I saw that Jiannu soldiers rushed to the rescue from all directions.
Seeing this, Chen Zhijing's heart was full of despair, he never expected Jiannu's reaction to be so fast, knowing that it was hopeless to seize the city gate, so he yelled with the determination to die: "Kill the Tartar!" Fight with them! ”
Hundreds of strong men and more than 200 Jiannu fought together, and with their blood and bravery, they were able to fight evenly with the experienced Jiannu soldiers.
The sound of fighting near the South City Gate was extremely abrupt in the silent night, and the entire Liaoyang City was awakened by the terrible sound.
After Huang Taiji and Azig heard the news, they were shocked and hurriedly mobilized their troops to rush to the south city gate. If the south gate of the city is taken by those people, the Hanwei army will definitely take the opportunity to kill the city, which will cost the lives of all the warriors of the two white flags!
Huang Taiji and Azig hurriedly put on their armor and took the blade, and they were about to go to the south gate to supervise the battle in person, when they suddenly heard the sound of fierce fighting outside the mansion, and they were extremely panicked in their hearts, and hurriedly sent someone to inquire about the situation.
After a while, a vest ran back in a panic: "Sibeile, Taiji, something is wrong!" ”
Huang Taiji stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong!" ”
"The Han people in the city are all rioting, and now the streets are full of mobs attacking my Dajin warriors, and the entire Liaoyang City has become a pot of porridge!"
Huang Taiji and Azig looked at each other, their faces were very ugly.
"Si Baylor, the situation is urgent, in my opinion, we have to quell the chaos as soon as possible!"
A cold light appeared in Huang Taiji's eyes, and he said fiercely: "Pass the order, and all the warriors of the White Banner will rush to the south city wall to defend it to prevent the Han Wei army from taking the opportunity to attack the city; The Mongol soldiers divided their troops to the east, west, and north to guard, and all the warriors with white flags were dispatched to strangle the rebellious people in the city! Remember, there is a curfew in place throughout the city, ordering all people not to go out of the house, and to kill anyone on the street if they see anyone alive! ”
Azig said excitedly: "Order! Now, this Tai Ji is going to kill! ”
Half an hour later, the army of Jiannu and the Mongol soldiers in the city were all dispatched, and the city walls were full of soldiers who were nervously guarded, and the city was full of Jiannu who were killed with the people. Those strong men who took the opportunity to seize the city were outnumbered and were killed by the white flag Jiannu and retreated, and Chen Zhijing also died on the street after Jiannu sent troops.
The white flag Jiannu slaughtered the people in the city in groups, regardless of whether they resisted or not, as long as they saw the Han people, they would kill them and set fire to their homes. In the face of the barbaric killing of Jiannu, the people in the city did not blindly flee, but rose up to fight, relatives and friends died in battle, neighbors died in battle, but the blood could not frighten the angry people of Liaoyang, more and more people joined the battle against the Tartar captivity, and the entire Liaoyang City suddenly became a hell on earth.
At the same time, Liu Yunwei also received an urgent report, learned that there was turmoil in Liaoyang City, and hurriedly ordered the pacesetter battalion to assemble and stand by, and then took a team of personal soldiers to the outside of the camp to look at Liaoyang City.
"It seems that the people in the city have risen up to resist!"
Liu Yunwei was very anxious in his heart, you must know that no matter how many people in the city are, they will not be able to defeat the Jiannu army, and they will definitely be slaughtered by Jiannu in large numbers after a long time!
At this time, Yuan Mingxuan also rode his horse and said loudly: "Little general, this is a godsend, quickly order the army to attack the city!" ”
Liu Yunwei also made up his mind at this time, and immediately ordered the whole army of the pacesetter battalion to go out and storm the southern city wall of Liaoyang. At the same time, he sent people to the Feiyu Battalion and the Tiger Ben Battalion, ordering the soldiers of the two battalions to attack the east and west walls of Liaoyang at the same time.
Liu Yunwei looked at the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion who quickly drove out of the camp, and his heart was high, and he shouted loudly: "Beat the war drums!" Tell the people in the city that the royal court is here! Go to war, go to the city! ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The fierce war drums resounded in the night sky, not only inspiring the morale of the soldiers of the Hanwei army, but also beating the hearts of the Jiannu army and the people in the city. The difference is that the two white flag Jiannu heard that the army's heart was fluctuating and terrified, while the people in the city were demoralized and struggled forward, and the fighting in the city became more intense.
After the formation of the large army was completed, Liu Yunwei urgently ordered Edward to command the artillery battalion to bombard the southern city wall. At this time, Edward had already commanded the soldiers of the artillery battalion to set up the artillery, and after half a pillar of incense, thirty large Buddha cannons roared. At the same time, the roar of the big Buddha Lang's machine cannon was also heard in the east and west of Liaoyang. The three battalions of the Hanwei Army launched an offensive again, and Liaoyang City in the night was completely plunged into the flames of war, and the whole land trembled in the fierce battle.
"Ready! Put! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Edward shouted, "There is an order from the town, the artillery battalion will continue to bombard, until all the cannon is exhausted!" The Big Buddha cannon continues to fire a salvo, put! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The three artillery battalions of the Hanwei Army continued to bombard the Liaoyang city wall, and they continued to fire five rounds of artillery bombardment before they stopped because the cannon body was overheated. As soon as the Jiannu soldiers defending the city breathed a sigh of relief, they were once again greeted by a fierce bombardment of a total of ninety Huzun cannons on three sides, and they were once again bathed in flames.
Azig, who was commanding the army to strangle the people in the city, was horrified when he saw this, and hurried to find Huang Taiji near the south city gate, and said, "Four Belles! The Han Wei army is ruthless this time, the situation is critical, we must ask Khan Ama for help! ”
Huang Taiji said with a cold face: "I have already sent someone to Shenyang. What we need to do now is to stick to Liaoyang with all our might! ”
Hearing this, Azig was a little relieved and said, "Okay, I'll ask Sibeile to bother here, I'll kill those Han dogs now!" ”
Huang Taiji stopped Azig and said: "Taiji, the matter has come to this, we must focus on stabilizing the situation in the city, among those people, those who resist stubbornly can be killed, and the rest of the people who have not rioted should not be implicated, we need to transfer the warriors in the city to the city wall to defend the city as soon as possible!" ”
Azig couldn't help but twist his ugly face after hearing this, and then said, "I know! ”
Soon, the white-flaged Jiannu who quelled the chaos in the city was strictly ordered not to kill innocents indiscriminately, and instead attacked and killed the rebellious people.
Under the strict orders of Azig, thousands of white-flaged Jiannu slaughtered the people on the streets who tried to seize the city, and soon the situation was controlled, and the sound of fighting in the city gradually quieted down, and the streets were full of the corpses of the slaughtered people.
Half an hour later, Huang Taiji received news from Azig that the city was basically under control, and thousands of rebellious people had been killed.
"It's dangerous!" Huang Taiji secretly said a fluke in his heart, and was just about to order Azig to send troops to support the southern city wall, when he suddenly heard the fierce artillery fire outside the city stop, and then there was the sound of the army charging in formation.
"Warriors, the Hanwei army has come up and defended the city!"
