Chapter 428: Take Cangzhou in the north

It is not only those officials and soldiers who are in turmoil in Cangzhou City, whether it is to welcome the Shandong army into the city, or to stubbornly resist and hold on, at this time they have become flood beasts, devouring everything in the city.

An inn not far from the south gate, with the earth-colored flag of "Sun's" erected outside, was originally an inn, but now the door is closed, and you can hear the people inside blocking the door with something.

"Lu butcher, what are you doing standing stupidly, come and help the old lady block the door, and you diners, otherwise when the rebels rush in, everyone will die together."

The one who said this was a woman, who looked quite fierce, and should be the proprietress of this inn, and as for the man in charge, he would have died at the hands of thieves outside the city.

The chaos of the officers and soldiers came suddenly, and many people in the city did not react, and it was not long ago in the evening that they heard a large stream of chaotic footsteps running through the door.

I thought it was the affairs of the officers and soldiers in the battalion, after all, in an important state city like Cangzhou, the officers and soldiers should also have a few thousand garrisons, how can the chaos be provoked so easily.

But I didn't expect that these officers and soldiers would turn back in less than half an hour, and after they came back, there was no warning, and they just went on a killing spree.

By now, there was a faint smell of blood in the sky above Cangzhou City, and the original ten percent of the population had actually gone to thirty percent, and there was a miserable howl everywhere.

Regardless of whether they are hiding at home or running out into the street, as long as they are seen by officers and soldiers, they will almost inevitably die.

Hearing the shouts of the proprietress surnamed Sun, Lu Butcher reacted, and piled the tables and chairs in front of the door with a few other diners, hoping to block the rebels.

"No, I, my pork hasn't been confiscated..."

At this stall, the butcher who was at the table and chair suddenly sent such a sentence, and without saying a word, he threw down the bench in his hand and began to struggle to open the door and go out.

After all, he was born as a butcher, and the proprietress surnamed Sun and a few guys didn't stop him, and he watched Lu Butcher open the blocked door and jump out.

"You Lu fat pig who killed a thousand knives, you have reached this juncture, why can't you forget those two taels of pork?"

The proprietress surnamed Sun cursed, but saw Lu Butcher rushing out of the inn without looking back, and the footsteps did not last long, as if she was being stopped by someone.

Everyone in the room suddenly became nervous, and it was at this time that they heard the butcher of Lu begging in a low voice:

"All the military masters are good, let the little ones collect the pork, and the military masters will let me kill the pigs in the future, they must be on call, and they will be good——"

"Yo~?"

There was silence outside the door for a while, perhaps the officers and soldiers did not expect to rush out such a stupid person who killed pigs, and suddenly there were a few laughs, and only one officer and soldier said with great interest:

"It turned out to be a Lu butcher, so let's do it, I heard that Lao Li Tou died and left a beautiful little girl's skin, it's always bad to be a widow, why don't you Lu butcher take her out and hand her over to the uncles, just forget it today, how about it?"

"This, this ......"

Lu Butcher didn't see the abuse in the other party's eyes, and with fear in his voice, he said with some hesitation:

"Master Jun, it's not good to do this, it's not easy for a woman's family to prop up such a big storefront, you see-"

Before he finished speaking, the officers and soldiers outside had already lost interest, and one of the officers and soldiers behind the questioner pulled out his waist knife, and the people in the room heard the Lu butcher scream, "Bang Chang" and fell back on his back.

Everyone looked down again, and the fat Lu butcher was already crooked his neck and out of breath.

Immediately after, more than a dozen wolf-like officers and soldiers rushed into the inn with red eyes and lewd smiles.

The leader of the boss kept the knife still on the ground and rushed directly to the mature proprietress behind the cabinet, while the rest showed the butcher knife to the diners and men.

......

In fact, after the soldiers of the Shandong Army rushed into the city, the situation was already a certain thing.

Every soldier of the Shandong Army crawled up from the sea of corpses and blood, and it is basically impossible to say that he has not experienced the battle in the city.

Even if there are a very few people who do not have actual combat experience in this area, it is clearly written in the infantry drill code compiled by Wang Zheng that the battles in the city have been held at least four or five times from the beginning of entering the city to the street battles and then to the end of the major yamen.

Under the command of Dong Youyin, the soldiers of the Shandong Army's Sharp Knife Battalion began to divide their troops as soon as they entered the city, and began to sweep through the city with two "shi" as the basic units.

In this way, although the speed is slower, as long as the Shandong soldiers pass by, there will basically not be a single fish that slips through the net.

However, the troops of about 1,000 people did not divide their troops, and this team also advanced with a goal, under the leadership of Dong Youyin, they went straight to the various yamen and military camps in the city to eliminate those chaotic soldiers who formed a group and tried to resist stubbornly.

More than 1,000 soldiers formed several columns, advancing step by step on the main road, followed by scattered soldiers, and every time the brigade pushed further, they followed closely behind and rushed into the streets and alleys and courtyards of private houses to finish up the work.

In fact, it stands to reason that like searching in street battles, it is still the regular soldiers and Yanding who are the best, and the soldiers of the Shandong Army are good at large-scale battles in the field battle.

Whether it is a tiger gun, an axe gun or a sword and shield, weapons such as tiger guns, axe guns and shields are bulky and inconvenient in street fighting, even if they are changed into new armor, it will also affect the performance of the soldiers.

But even so, the unorganized rebels in the city had no ability to resist, and they soon lost half of Cangzhou City in defeat.

When the follow-up troops of the Sharp Knife Battalion rushed into the city one after another, and then surrounded the entire Cangzhou City, the rebels suddenly realized that there were officers and soldiers who came to reinforce them.

After understanding the situation, the rebels in the city did not go to Deng Mao and Han Shengfang, but directly caused chaos, trying to escape through other gates.

Although Cangzhou City is large, at this time, the three surrounding city gates have been surrounded by the Zhenwu Battalion led by Deng Heizi, the Xuanwu Battalion led by Huang Yang and the Fenwei Battalion led by Gao Liang, and even the two sides of the canal have been arranged by Wang Zheng A large number of firearms soldiers.

About an hour and a half after the sharp knife battalion entered the city, the Shandong army had already surrounded Han Shengfang and several of his thousands of soldiers who were firmly guarding the barracks.

Although the rest of Cangzhou City was still on fire, the screams and fighting were gradually weakening and quickly subsided.

Although this kind of chaotic army is a big kill in the city, it is equivalent to a plate of scattered sand, and even the orders of their respective generals are not listened to.

In contrast, this battle was not even a real battle for the soldiers of the Shandong Army, who had experienced strong winds and waves, and it was simply easier and easier to fight.

The soldiers who followed the large army rushed into the city excitedly, but they were disappointed that all that awaited them was the corpses of the rebels and civilians, and basically nothing could be achieved for any military exploits.

Cangzhou City is an important place for Cao Yun, and it is the only way to enter Gyeonggi in the north, it is said that there are thousands of Ming troops stationed in it, but they are all scattered like straw bales.

The generals and soldiers of the Shandong Army couldn't believe how easy this battle was, and the soldiers and horses who were also officers and soldiers of the imperial court were so weak and vulnerable.

It is no wonder that every time Li Chuang is defeated by Wang Zheng, he can always recover again at a very fast speed, and sweep into other places.
