Chapter 311: Rioters
When the voices of the besieging believers reached the maximum, the people on the driver waved their hands, and tens of thousands of people rushed towards the walls of Yuncheng at the same time.
"Hurry up and release the arrows! Rolling wood! Drop them all! Come on! Although the Yuncheng County Commander was so frightened that his legs were weak, he still called on the soldiers to resist desperately. The history of the army, who was supposed to command military affairs, did not know where to run for a long time, and the county Cheng hid in his home and did not dare to show his head.
The county magistrate didn't care about the trouble with the two deputies, and the chaotic people in front of him made him tremble.
The rebels besieging the city did not have decent siege equipment, and even the bows and arrows to suppress the city were pitiful.
They ignored the rolling logs and rocks that had fallen from the top of the city, and one by one they scrambled to climb the ladder with scarlet eyes.
One rebel was defeated, and ten rebels rushed up. In a short time, all kinds of equipment to defend the city were not exhausted, and there were many places in distress on the head of the city.
At this critical moment, hundreds of big men rushed to the city gate with weapons in hand. The officers and men who had been there at the top gate saw someone rushing towards them and fled in a swarm.
The unhindered men opened the city gate, and suddenly the tide of chaotic people rushed into Yuncheng. These crazy people started by picking on the rich, and they rushed into the compounds of deep houses.
The Yuncheng County Commander knew that Yuncheng was no longer safe, so he jumped from the top of the city and became one of the corpses under the city.
knocked the old man who was usually high on the ground to the ground, stripped them of silk and satin, and hung them on the door and beaten.
The women were raped to death by the crazy rioters, and the old people and children were cut off and thrown into the street to be kicked around.
The wealthy in the city were limited, and gradually the rebels who lost their goals targeted the common people. They rushed into the homes of the people and took everything they saw.
Anyone who came up to stop them was mercilessly killed, and many people's homes were robbed several times.
The rioters vented their beastly desires to their heart's content, and it didn't take long to turn Yuncheng into a human purgatory.
The White Lotus Sect almost turned Yuncheng County into a dead city, and it took three days to pull out the corpses for a day before Yuncheng was cleaned up.
Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was called the emperor in Yuncheng County, and he called himself Emperor Fulie, and the country was named the first year of Dacheng's prosperity.
Zhao Yan, the prefect of Shandong, urgently transferred Yang Ji to the general army of Shandong to capture Xu Hongru, and Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, also sent Yang Guodong to lead two battalions of soldiers in Denglai.
When the imperial court actively transferred troops, Xu Hongru waved his army to capture Zou County, Teng County, and Tancheng, and the troops surrounded Qubu, and the Ming Dynasty was shaken. Along the way, Xu Hongru's army was like a bamboo, and it was invincible.
The number of people who joined his rebel army was innumerable, and it had grown to more than 100,000 in just half a month.
Yang Ji was ordered to lead 2,000 soldiers to converge with the 4,000 men and horses of Yang Guodong, the governor of Denglai, and rushed to Tancheng to block Xu Hongru, but their total of 6,000 men and horses faced a Dacheng army of more than 100,000 people.
Even the Denglai soldiers who have experienced a lot of battles are terrified, this battle is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be drowned by the crazy Dacheng army.
In the big tent at night, Yang Guodong fidgeted and walked back and forth. After walking for a while, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Dashuai! Tomorrow's war is extremely dangerous and invincible, so let's retreat and think about it in the long run! ”
Yang Ji has been sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, and he was also a little moved after listening to Yang Guodong's words. 6,000 against more than 100,000, if you are not careful, the whole army will be wiped out.
But can you return it yourself? As soon as he retreats from the army, he will lose his heart, and there will be no soldiers who dare to fight against Xu Hongru in the future. At that time, Shandong will be ruined, and he will be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty!
He opened his eyes and looked directly at Yang Guodong and said, "What, scared?" We will wait for the world to receive the emperor's grace! In order to serve the Ming Dynasty and be loyal to His Majesty. Only now in times of danger can we show our loyalty, and if the Denglai army is afraid, they can leave on their own. Tomorrow, I can meet the Shandong soldiers alone, and my two thousand Shandong soldiers are enough! ”
Yang Guodong's face was flushed by what he said, he was really afraid. Such a large gap in strength is not a joke, and I heard that Xu Hongru's army must recite a spell every battle.
The soldiers who chanted the incantation could be invulnerable, and all kinds of rumors made Yang Guodong's heart tremble.
If he was the commander of this army, he would have withdrawn a long time ago, and who would have been stunned to meet him. But he knew that once he withdrew, Youngkey would definitely play his own.
Losing an official and resigning from office is light, and it is possible to be beheaded all over the house. He knew very well what the crime of escaping was, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Where did the marshal come from?" Yang Guodong is not willing to advance and retreat with the handsome! ”
Yang Guodong kept greeting Yang Ji's eight relatives in his heart. What the hell does this madman think, dare to fight with such a huge gap?
The next day, the general lined up, and the moment he saw the officers and soldiers, all the Dacheng troops smiled. They have already conquered several fortified cities, and they do not pay attention to the officers and soldiers at all.
Only a few thousand men and horses on the opposite side dare to fight with them, can this group of officers and soldiers be tired and crooked?
At this moment, "Rumble!" sounded among the officers and soldiers. The drums. The officers and soldiers lined up in a formation and pressed towards the chaotic people, and looking at the neat formation of the officials and soldiers, there was a trace of commotion among the chaotic people.
They were just a group of people who had just put down their hoes, fighting senselessly with hatred of the court and the squire. Once there is a real big war, it is also a little overwhelming.
The two men led by Yang Ji were the border troops of Datong, and they fought many wars with the Mongols and had a lot of actual combat experience.
Yang Guodong's Denglai soldiers were the main force attacking Rao Jiannu, and their field experience was not weaker than that of the border army.
Although they are small in number, they are well-trained and battle-hardened soldiers. And they are only facing some angry peasants, as long as they resist the first wave of attacks of the rebels, the rioters' three-plank axe will inevitably be in chaos.
This is the confidence of Yanji to dare to take the initiative to face the battle, he believes in his subordinates, and he believes in the Denglai soldiers.
Seeing that the small number of officers and soldiers actually took the initiative to attack, Xu Hongru couldn't help but be furious. With a wave of his hand, the 20,000 men of the front army rushed towards the official army.
These people chanted scriptures and ran frantically forward. Sentence "The white lotus blooms, the king of Ming is born, there is no old mother, and there is a vacuum hometown!" It was shouted from their mouths, as if such a shout could give them infinite power.
Seeing that there was still a mile to meet, the rebels began to run, and Yanki smiled. Chaos is chaos people, do you still have the strength to fight after running crazy for a mile like this? I'm afraid I'll be gasping for breath when I walk, and I'm still scared by the number of rioters. If you had been a little more bold and had fought a decisive battle with the rebels without waiting for the arrival of the Denglai soldiers, I am afraid that the rebel forces would have already been defeated.
As expected by Yankee, the rioters were suffering from chronic malnutrition. Before they had finished a mile, many people fell to the ground.
They fell and tripped over many of their companions, and there was a sudden confusion among the rebellious people.
