Chapter 144: The End of the Thief
Yang Wenkui took Yang Shengyuan and others to the forage field, and when he saw a team of soldiers guarding, he shouted at the team of soldiers: "I am Yang Wenkui, the general of the Zhenwu Battalion, which soldier are you?" ”
The soldier guarding the forage field in front knelt down and replied: "We are all subordinates of the Wu guerrilla of the Zhenwu Battalion, see the general!" ”
Yang Wenkui was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, stepped forward with confidence, and asked as he walked: "Have any outsiders come?" ”
The soldier said, "This place is remote, and no outsiders have ever visited. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yang Wenkui was even happier when he heard this, leaving most of the people to guard outside, and together with Yang Shengyuan, with a few trustworthy subordinates, he entered the gate of the forage field.
As soon as the group walked into the simple warehouse where Guo Guang was being held, they suddenly saw several people guarding around Guo Guang, the deputy envoy of the Liaodong military garrison, under the oil lamps lit inside.
Yang Wenkui was shocked, took the torch and leaned forward, and said, "Who is there!" Is Deputy Envoy Guo okay?! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard one of the several people standing opposite say: "Vice Envoy Guo is naturally fine!" It's just that Yang Shen will not be so good for you! ”
Yang Wenkui heard that the back of his head was cold, and he instantly sensed a dangerous smell, and immediately wanted to throw the torch and retreat, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, and before the torch left his hand, he found that a cold arrow swept over the edge of the torch and shot towards his face.
only heard Yang Wenkui let out a scream of "ah", and then fell to the ground on his back.
Yang Shengyuan and the others who followed closely behind were shocked, and immediately gathered around, Yang Shengyuan shouted: "Uncle, uncle, what's wrong with you?!" ”
Yang Shengyuan picked up the torch dropped by Yang Wenkui from the ground and lit up in front of him, only to see Yang Wenkui's hands pressed on his neck, and the blood in his body kept coming out from the place where he was pressed.
This arrow pierced Yang Wenkui's neck, and only blood-stained arrow feathers remained in front of Yang Shengyuan.
Yang Shengyuan asked angrily, "Who?!" Who's there! ”
As soon as these words fell, in the originally dim warehouse, the lights suddenly brightened, and Yang Shengyuan's eyes fell behind the people in front.
On the hay pile behind those people, a row of people stood up, and the person holding the bow in the center was Zhang Zhengchao, who Yang Shengyuan was very familiar with, and under the hay pile, it was Zhang Sishun who was holding Guo Guang, the deputy envoy of the military with a knife.
After Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun resisted arrest, in order to save their lives, they had to launch a mutiny in the name of making trouble, and after the mutiny became big, the first thing they wanted to do when they returned to the camp was to take advantage of the mutiny to kill Yang Wenkui and Yang Shengyuan's uncle and nephew.
In Zhang Zhengchao's eyes, it was Yang Wenkui and Yang Shengyuan's uncle and nephew who made trouble that made them take risks and fell to this point, and now they have to pull this uncle and nephew on their backs even if they die.
But after the rebellion, Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun couldn't find any trace of Yang Wenkui's uncle and nephew.
There was chaos in the camp today, Zhang Zhengchao heard that Yang Wenkui had entered the camp and killed Peng Qigu and others, and he knew that even if the two of them were anyway, they would be more than lucky, after all, most of the soldiers in the Zhenwu camp knew that the two of them were the first to advocate chaos.
Therefore, the two of them thought about taking this opportunity to avenge their previous revenge first.
Zhang Sishun, who has always been a bit of a strategist, immediately presented Zhang Zhengchao with such a plan to fish in troubled waters, taking advantage of the chaos in the camp, ambushing in the forage yard warehouse where Guo Guang was imprisoned, and it is expected that Yang Wenkui's uncle and nephew, who had come to be greedy for merit, would definitely come to rescue Deputy Envoy Guo in person.
Sure enough, he deserved to be unlucky for this Yang Wenkui, who successfully supported Zuo Liangyu and Wu Guoqi, but took the initiative to usher in his own death.
Yang Shengyuan looked at Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun stupidly, unable to say a word, he had always relied on his uncle Yang Wenkui as his backer in the army, and it was the first time he faced such a dangerous situation, and he suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp and weak limbs.
Looking at Zhang Zhengchao, who was aimed at himself and holding a bow and arrows, Yang Shengyuan suddenly put down Yang Wenkui, who was dead in his arms, and knelt on the ground with a plop at Zhang Zhengchao, and said with a crying voice: "Brother Zhengchao, the younger brother has no grudges with you recently, and there is no enmity in the past, why do you have to kill the younger brother?!" It's my uncle who set up a situation to cause you to lose money, and it has nothing to do with the younger brother, please raise your noble hand and spare the younger brother's life! ”
Saying this, Yang Shengyuan kowtowed again and again.
Zhang Zhengchao, who was standing on the opposite height, suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe it has nothing to do with you, but since our brother shot your own uncle to death today, naturally there is no reason to let you go!" ”
After speaking, he drew his bow like a full moon, and he was about to let go.
Yang Shengyuan looked up and saw this situation, knowing that it was useless to beg for mercy, he immediately turned around and ran. However, people and arrows naturally cannot compete for speed.
When Yang Shengyuan turned around, the arrow in Zhang Zhengchao's hand had been shot, and with a whoosh, it hit Yang Shengyuan in the back of the heart, and Yang Shengyuan fell to the ground with a scream.
At this time, Zhang Sishun put down the short knife that had been on Guo Guang's waist, said offended to the frightened Guo Guang, stepped forward, cut off the heads of Yang Wenkui and Yang Shengyuan with three strokes and two blows, grabbed the hair, and carried it in his hand.
The soldiers who followed Yang Wenkui's uncle and nephew, when they saw this scene, some knelt down and surrendered, and some turned their heads and fled.
Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun saw that the big thing was over, and they didn't chase it, but just escorted Guo Guang out of the forage field and went to the Chinese army hall in the camp.
It is said that Wu Guoqi was ordered by Yang Wenkui to find Zhang Zhengchao, Zhang Sishun and others, but they were nowhere to be found, so he led his men and horses to merge with Zuo Liangyu and besiege Wang Jiayi together.
After Peng Qigu's death, in addition to the killed and captured soldiers of the Guangwu battalion, the other soldiers gathered under the command of Wang Jiayi, and the number was no less than that of Zuo Liangyu and Wu Guoqi.
However, now after all, it is on the territory of the Zhenwu Battalion, compared with the soldiers under Zuo and Wu, the soldiers of the Guangwu Battalion are not familiar with the terrain enough, and the generals such as Peng Haigu, Li Mingfu and others died, and the morale of the Wang Jiayi side is even lower.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Zhenwu battalion have the absolute upper hand in heavy weapons such as ordnance armor, firearms, chariots and cannons.
So at the time of the third watch at night, nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Guangwu battalion were surrounded in a corner, when Zuo Liangyu commanded the car artillery battalion and pulled three tiger squat cannons installed on the side car, Wang Jiayi's men finally came out of the traitor, and unexpectedly hacked Wang Jiayi to death, and led the Guangwu battalion soldiers to disarm and surrender.
This side has just commanded his subordinates to tie up a group of rebellious soldiers and surrender soldiers, Zuo Liangyu invited his cronies to ask, saying that Yang Wenkui's uncle and nephew went to the forage field in the back camp.
Zuo Liangyu hurriedly handed over this side to Wu Guoqi to take care of the aftermath, and rushed to the direction of the forage field with his subordinates.
was halfway down, Zuo Liangyu led his subordinates to meet Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun's department.
Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun were the initiators of this mutiny, Zuo Liangyu had long known that these two people had to die, and by killing both of them, his own merits could be more convincing.
Therefore, as soon as he saw that the other party was Zhang Zhengchao and others, Zuo Liangyu immediately made a decision and directly commanded everyone under his command to rush forward with a knife, and without mercy, the knife was fatal.
Zhang Zhengchao and Zhang Sishun thought that with Guo Guang in hand, the other teams would take care of some of them, but they didn't expect the other party to come up and kill them, and they suffered a little loss, and more than 100 people under them quickly died or fled.
In the end, only the wounded Zhang Sishun was left holding Guo Guang hostage with a knife and followed closely behind Zhang Zhengchao.
As the encirclement became smaller and smaller, Zhang Zhengchao finally met Zuo Liangyu, and when he saw Zuo Liangyu's appearance clearly, Zhang Zhengchao was angry and shouted: "The surname Zuo, what the hell do you mean?" You robbed the yamen, you killed the people, but now, you stand up and act as a good person?! I was really blind at the beginning, and I mistakenly believed you bastard! ”
Zhang Zhengchao was about to continue scolding, but suddenly heard a "bang" sound.
Zhang Zhengchao opened his mouth wide, but he could no longer speak, and looked down at his chest in disbelief.
In the light of the torches around him, he saw a bloody hole bubbling with blood.
Zhang Zhengchao knew that this was a newly equipped musket in the army, the name was Chongzhen a flintlock pistol, and the entire nine-sided towns of the Ming Dynasty were only equipped with dozens of guns in Liaodong Town, of which half of the car artillery battalion in the Zhenwu battalion was given.
But no matter what kind of musket it is, people like Zhang Zhengchao can't look down on it, he still trusts the Qi knife he is familiar with and the bow and arrow he has played with since he was a child, and he never thought that one day he would die under the projectile fired by the musket.
However, no matter what Zhang Zhengchao thinks now, it no longer matters, because he has become a dead man.
Zuo Liangyu ignored Zhang Zhengchao's death, and even ignored Zhang Sishun, who put the knife across Guo Guang's neck and scolded him loudly, just threw the Chongzhen style in his hand to his subordinates, and then took another brand-new Chongzhen style from the hands of another subordinate, and aimed at Zhang Sishun with it.
A man in troubled times like Zuo Liangyu certainly knows what it means to be well-equipped.
At this time, he held Chongzhen's flintlock pistol and said coldly to Zhang Sishun: "Let go of Master Guo, Zuo will leave you a whole corpse!" ”
After hearing this, Zhang Sishun knew that he was certain to die, but he calmed down a lot in his heart, and pulled Guo Guang back a few steps, and the soldiers surrounding them were still bogeyed after all, and they all retreated.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Sishun whispered in Guo Guang's ear: "It is this Zuo Liangyu who hanged Bai Langzhong!" ”
After saying this, Zhang Sishun pushed Guo Guang forward, and slashed his neck with a knife.
Because Guo Guang, the deputy envoy of the military garrison, was in the front, Zuo Liangyu did not shoot. When the soldiers of the Zhenwu battalion supported Guo Guang, Zuo Liangyu stepped forward to take a look, and Zhang Sishun had already killed himself.
