Chapter 434: The Rebel Army Captures Dengzhou City, However......
In the night, Geng Zhongming, who was supposed to be trapped in the mansion, suddenly appeared near the middle camp of the pacesetters. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He also has a secret passage in the house, and he sneaked out through the secret passage, what is this going to do?
Soon after!
I only heard a loud bang from the barracks over there, and the sound shook the whole city.
The Zhu family's army, which was lurking in the city, did not accept the temporary squad leader Jiang Hai at night, and blurted out that his face changed: "The fire came from near the city gate in the east, and the cannon was fired in the middle of the night, and someone mutinied. ”
Soon, the sound of killing near the barracks on that side shook the sky, and fires burst out from all over the city gate on the south side, which were particularly conspicuous in the darkness of the background.
Some of the resting soldiers also got dressed, they didn't have enough information, and many thought it was a simple fire. In addition, many soldiers have been malnourished for a long time, and they also have night blindness.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang on the city wall, and the light outside brightened, and soon it dimmed again, and everyone heard that it was a Hongyi cannon, and now, even the pig knew that the situation was wrong.
At the same time, some of the spies of the rebellious army began to run around and shouted: "The city is broken, the city is broken!" ”
At this time, the muskets and cannons at the east gate became more intense, dense like firecrackers for the New Year, and the situation in the city began to become more and more chaotic.
It was here that the rebel army in the city began to siege the city.
Zhu Jiajun, who was dozens of miles away in the distance, also arrived on the way, but he heard the report that he did not receive at night, and the giant eagle in the sky chirped to announce, but Zhu Zilong made people slow down the march.
An officer on the side was surprised and said: "Master Hou, let's not be late, otherwise Dengzhou will be ...... erosion."
Zhu Zilong looked at his own officer with a smile and said, "Don't remember the plan?" What I want is Dengzhou erosion! ”
The troops began to march slowly, and Ma Xiaosan quietly came over and asked, "Master, do you want to give the rebel army a night of robbery and cleansing, and the big families in the city have time?" Could it be that one night is a little longer, and half a night is about the same? ”
Zhu Zilong nodded and replied, "You're right, half a night is enough." Li Jiucheng broke the city tonight, but they didn't know that we were in Qixia. It's only twenty miles from here to Dengzhou, so let's let them make trouble for half a night. With the cover of night, the red cannons at the head of the city could not be accurate. As long as we can reach Pingshan in concealment, all the initiative will be in our hands. ”
"Understood." Ma Xiaosan and the others nodded immediately.
A few hours later.
Not long before the sky was brightened, the city was as expected, and it was still broken by the rebels.
The sound of shouting and killing in Dengzhou City shook the sky, and a heavy black smoke fluttered over the city, and the streets and alleys were filled with the cries of the city's citizens.
Li Jiucheng, whose eyes were bloodshot, stood on the city tower, looking at the scene in front of him with a cruel smile.
A large number of Dongjiang soldiers in the city mutinied, and the main barracks had been dispersed under the attack of several times the Liao soldiers, and some of them had surrendered, and Sun Yuanhua had gone.
Neiying Geng Zhongming came to Li Jiucheng's side, laughed and said: "Brother Li is not only invincible in battle, but even his strategy is so good, he really captured Dengzhou. Admire, admire! ”
However, Li Jiucheng's son Li Yingyuan was still calm at this time, and reminded Li Jiucheng: "Father, the city is broken, but we are not Tartars, grab a handful and have a chance to return to our hometown." Who will be in charge of this city in the future, and how should Sun be treated? It's better to have an idea earlier! ”
Li Jiucheng sneered and replied to his son: "At this moment, the whole city is not all in the hands of us, and we still have to attack, and we will talk about it later." ”
Geng Zhongming echoed on the side, and a distorted sneer appeared on his face full of anger: "The first thing is to catch Sun Yuanhua, let him take out the governor and pass the defense, and let the prefectures and counties of Denglai transport money and grain to the city. ”
Li Jiucheng has no culture, although he has rebelled now, he has no confidence in how to control such a large area, he thought about it and suddenly said: "You all know the brothers of Dongjiang, I am afraid that only Mao Shuai can make them all obey, and don't push Lao Tzu as the king." If Master Sun is willing, let him be the nominal leader and help us manage the territory near Dengzhou, and we will manage all the soldiers, and we are not afraid of what he can do. What's it called? Erect the Son of Heaven to order the princes? Right! ”
A rebellious army officer on the side, who was also uneducated, listened to Li Jiucheng's words and nodded one after another.
However, these people clearly overestimate their ability to control the military.
When he was young, the chaotic army that entered the city became more and more scattered, and most of the people who entered the city later were bandits and bandits who had defected to Li Jiucheng in Shandong, and there were also thousands of strong men who had been captured. These originally simple people are slowly turning into ruffians, and when they saw that the city was broken and they could grab things, they were all in chaos all of a sudden.
Seeing that the army is not an army, they all go to grab their own things.
Li Jiucheng and them can only be depressed, after all, those Liao soldiers who have just taken refuge will not listen to orders, including his own subordinates, if they don't do it, they will cause infighting, let them grab a day or two before they can talk about the rest of the matter.
This is the helplessness of an unorganized, undisciplined army.
At the moment, there is still resistance in the city, but half of the combat effectiveness of their chaotic army has fallen on the sugar-coated cannonballs that robbed things, I have to say, it really hurts!
When he was young, Li Jiucheng had just arrived on Chunshengmen Street, and a family member rushed to report loudly, "Governor Sun has been caught!" ”
Li Jiucheng and the others were overjoyed, laughed, and rushed forward quickly with a few people, at this time both sides of the road were already full of corpses, and the blood flowing out of the road extended along the cracks in the bluestone pavement on the street. The cries of countless women filled the streets and alleys, and they were inhumane!
I saw that not far away, Sun Yuanhua, who was covered in blood, brought it over.
Li Jiucheng and his henchmen glanced at each other and stepped forward pretendingly. To untie the ropes on Sun Yuanhua's body, he feigned anger at the rebel soldiers who were escorting: "Who told you to treat Lord Sun like this, don't untie it quickly." ”
Sun Yuanhua was still somewhat disciplined, and scolded strugglingly: "Li Jiucheng, don't be pretending." You kept saying that you wanted to beat Jiannu in front of the official, but it turned out that you were so badly attacked? I only complain that the official kindly took in you wolf-hearted Dongjiang soldiers at the beginning, and now Dengzhou has been ruined, and the official deserves it. ”
Li Jiucheng and the others felt that they were indeed a little inauthentic when they did this, and it was not easy to have a seizure at this time. I felt that my face was a little feverish, and I turned my head not to look at Sun Yuanhua!
However, the discipline of the troublemakers has long been negative.
After a few minutes, his face became hard again, Li Jiucheng thought about it, and suddenly sneered: "A certain person who killed an entire village in Liaodong was not a good person in the first place. But why did Lord Sun say so righteously and awe-inspiringly, the lords of the court and China are full of morality, but they are secretly corrupt, what justice can there be? ”
Sun Yuanhua, who has a good temperament, heard Li Jiucheng's words, and then thought that he had also been corrupted, and his mouth was blocked for a while.
Seeing that Ma Wei had an effect, Li Jiucheng and his henchmen glanced at each other, began to implement the plan, and said to Sun Yuanhua: "I know that Lord Sun is not usually greedy, and leaving the silver is also to please Shangguan, and we all keep in mind the love of the Liao people." Now, as long as Lord Sun is willing, we are willing to continue to serve you as the Lord, and ask Lord Sun to be the king in Denglai, and we will follow, wouldn't it be wonderful? ”
There were very few civil officials in the Ming Dynasty who rebelled, and Sun Yuanhua thought to himself that Zhang Dake still had an army to fight in the city, and I would wait for one or two.
Only, at this moment.
A rebel army rode over on horseback, and he said loudly: "Report to Lord Li, Zhang Dake killed his wife and concubine in his house, hanged himself and set a fire, and he is already dead." The main camp in the city is in chaos, and it is not enough to be an enemy! ”
At that moment, Li Jiucheng turned his head to Sun Yuanhua with a little excitement and said again: "Lord Zhang is a good man, but it is useless to die. It also affected the family, and Lord Sun asked Haosheng to think about the official proposal. Now is your only chance! ”
Sun Yuanhua was just silent and did not answer.
Li Jiucheng resisted the urge to kill people, and thought: These civil officials are like this, and they are just fierce and inward-looking, maybe they will figure it out in two days.
So, in the next minute, he had Sun Yuanhua imprisoned in prison first.
