Chapter 149: Serial Scheme
Out of the courtyard of the main house, Yu Li went straight to the residence of the Li family's mother and daughter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info house has been completely controlled by the Hangzhou Station of the Military Intelligence Department, and the so-called launch tomorrow before is also fake, since it is done, it is naturally in Xiao Qiyuan's most paralyzing and careless today, and there are more variables until tomorrow, why bother.
Three steps and two steps, Yu Li rushed to the small courtyard of the Li family's mother and daughter. Here, as in other places, there were already personnel from the Hangzhou Station of the Military Intelligence Department to control the situation, and the domestic servants, maids, and old mothers were all tied up and locked in the wing, and after nodding, Yu Li pushed the door and walked in.
"Old lady, it's already done over there, please ask the old lady and the little lady to transfer him with me."
The Xu family is about to become a flashpoint of chaos, so it is natural to transfer it immediately.
"There is a captain in Laoyu, the old body knows that you are a celebrity around the king, and our Li family can't help you much. This time we can get rid of this sea of suffering, and our Li family should remember this kindness. ”
"The old lady is serious, Li Shuai is the king's confidant and favorite general, and this is all the king's arrangement."
There were already people escorting the servants away, and these people would take them out of this place and release them to free more people to come out, while Yu Li took the Li family mother and daughter to another safe house.
Out of the back door, the long-lost freedom made the Li family's mother and daughter greedily breathe the air in Hangzhou late at night. There was not much time, Li Ruixin's wife boarded the carriage, but her daughter turned around and took a deep look at the house that had not been out for more than ten years, before boarding the carriage and leaving this sad place.
The person who should be sent away had already left, and Yu Li glanced at the people who were still here, all of them looking eager to try.
Previously, the Military Intelligence Division was divided into the Internal Supervision Department and the External Military Intelligence Division, which led to the inefficiency of the department due to the simultaneous consideration of internal and external affairs.
Over the years, the Military Intelligence Department has really not done enough, mainly because of the Cao Conglong Rebellion, which led to the division of too many resources for internal supervision, but in areas like Nanjing and Hangzhou, which have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, the Military Intelligence Department has still done a good job, such as intelligence collection in these two places, such as the Nanjing Station rescue Wang Jiang's operation, and their Hangzhou Station also intends to leave a classic battle example that can be used to train intelligence personnel for future generations in today's final battle.
After confirming that it was correct, Yu Li picked up a torch and threw it at a stack of firewood on the inside of the back door of the house, and then everyone headed towards their respective destinations.
The moment the torch hit the ground, the flames exploded, spreading quickly to the entire house along the trajectory of the fire oil, and the fire was out of control.
"Let's go out of the water!"
The Xu family caught fire, and the fastest discovery was naturally the neighboring family. This area was originally assigned to the generals of the standard camp, and now with the death of the head of the family, many families have left Hangzhou, some of which are vacant, but more are still inhabited, among which Xu Lei's uncle Xu Xin's family is naturally inevitable.
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and Xu Xin's wife asks the housekeeper to drive the servants to put out the fire, and on the other hand, she asks people to look for the fire shop in the city, and at the same time reports to the location of Xu Xin in the standard camp.
The fire in the city has alarmed too many people, and more and more people are coming out of their homes to watch the fire, so that they can save their families and goods when necessary and minimize the damage. And the family of the Xu family relied on the horses, and the family of Xu Xin and Xu Dashuai, who temporarily received the governor of Zhejiang, rushed all the way to the camp of the standard promotion camp unimpeded.
Xu Xin has no son, he has always regarded Xu Lei as his own, and when he heard that the Xu family was on fire, he had the intention of mobilizing the army to help fight the fire. But in the current situation, the Ming army is outside the city, and everyone is tense, but any wind and grass may lead to a big chaos. At this time, if there is no ghost in his heart, he still has to weigh one or two, the uncle and nephew of the Xu family planned to do it anyway, and it was set for tomorrow, so if there was a mess at this time, there would be no panic.
It's just that before he decided whether to send someone to put out the fire, he rushed into the camp as soon as he rode a fast horse, and was directly treated in front of Xu Xin after getting off the horse.
The person who came was none other than Liu Da, who was injured in his arm at the moment, and it seemed that he had broken through, and when he saw Xu Xindeng, he fell to the ground.
"Dashuai, the news has leaked. Xiao Qiyuan's thief struck first, and the garrison died. Desperately kill out, begging the marshal to avenge the garrison! ”
The news has leaked!
Xiao Qiyuan struck first and killed Xu Lei!
Linked to the fire of the Xu family, Xu Xin's eyes were spinning, and then he suddenly became clear: "Pass on the commander's order, and the generals in the camp will come to discuss the matter immediately." In addition, order the rear battalion to form a whole team, put on armor, immediately! ”
Giving the order to the herald, Xu Xin looked back at the slave who rushed to report the news, his heart was on fire, he pulled out his sword and stabbed it directly into the lower abdomen of the slave.
"Ungrateful dog minions, phew!"
Xu Xin plans to make a desperate bet, it is nothing more than the Qingchun Gate, as long as the city gate is captured, even the Ming army will be caught off guard, hold for a few hours, Chen Wen will definitely come to seize the city, there is no doubt about it. And the key for him now is to integrate this standard battalion and go to seize the city gate as quickly as possible.
………………
Xu Xin, who had a ghost in his heart, had completely fallen into the fog, still wielding a sword and trying to make a way out. It's just that not everyone is caught in the game, Xiao Qiyuan is an exception, but his exception can't stop Xu Xin's rampage at all.
"Damn, I fell for Chen Wen's trick!"
Xu Lei's house is on fire, and on the eve of tomorrow's upcoming big move, it is the most cautious time, and it is unlikely to be an accident. Even if it is really an accidental incident, the uncle and nephew of the Xu family have already boarded Chen Wen's thief ship, there is a ghost in his heart, everything is a conspiracy, and once there is an accident, he will inevitably identify it as a leak of news as soon as possible, and an outbreak is inevitable.
Moreover, in the current situation, the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners Army in field battles on the plain terrain has been broken by the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies, Chen Wen killed Yue Le, and his power was unmatched for a while, even if he Xiao Qiyuan Zhuge Kongming was possessed, he was afraid that he would not be able to let Xu Xin get off this thief ship under such a disadvantage.
"Order, all the Niu Lu who were subordinate to the reinforcements before were drawn out, and whether they can hold Hangzhou or not depends on today's move!"
Xiao Qiyuan didn't dare to transfer those Niu Lu who were stationed in Hangzhou to defend the Eight Banners, there was a full city, and the women, children and property in the family might be threatened, they couldn't use it at all, and even the Niu Lu of those reinforcements He couldn't be completely assured, who knew where the big night would go, maybe he would run out of the city and escape.
But you don't need the Eight Banners Army, do you use the two green battalions in the city? The combat effectiveness of the two green battalions is much worse than the broken standard, and the current situation must be won quickly to stabilize the situation, otherwise everything will be completely finished.
Originally, in the system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the general stationed in the Eight Banners was the person with the highest status, and the governor had to go to Mancheng to pay a visit on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and there was no reason for the governor to directly order the Eight Banners Army. But now, the Eight Banners of Hangzhou have been hanging in the air for a long time, not only the temporary Mongolian Gushan Ezhen, even Yue Le is dead, the highest rank of the Eight Banners Army officers in the city is just a few Niu Lu Zhangjing, and the leaderless group of dragons also acquiesced to Xiao Qiyuan, the temporary command of the Han Army Banner Governor.
The order was quickly conveyed to Mancheng, and the few cobbled together Niu Lu of the reinforcements knew that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly left Mancheng and rushed to the governor's yamen.
Now Xiao Qiyuan is in charge of the city, once the governor's yamen is taken by the rebels, even if the Qing army in the city swears allegiance to the Qing Dynasty, it will be a dead end if it becomes a plate of loose sand.
The Eight Banners Army of the counterinsurgency was very fast, but Xu Xin's side was not slow. picked out the sand that Xiao Qiyuan mixed in and slaughtered it, pulled Chen Wen's tiger skin to boost the morale of a wave of military morale, and finally gathered people and horses, and the army wore armor and held soldiers, and marched towards Qingchun Gate.
The battalion made up for the shortage after last year's fiasco, but it was full of new recruits, and its combat effectiveness could be compared with the similarly rebuilt Fubiao and the city garrison battalion that had not been in battle.
Although Hangzhou is rich, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty only has three provinces left in Zhejiang, not only to raise troops, but also to expand the new city, Fuyang line of defense line, in addition to meet the greed of the Eight Banners Army and officials, the war horses have not been purchased a lot, but also to give priority to the Eight Banners Army, the standard battalion is now a group of infantry with big feet, the ratio of infantry and cavalry is not to say that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang side of the nine to one, that is, nineteen to one can not be reached.
However, thousands of green battalion soldiers came out of the camp, even if there were always some desertions along the way, but the base number was placed here, and no one dared to come out to stop them all the way to Qingchun Gate. It's just that the closer he gets to Qingchun Gate, the more anxious he becomes, until he stepped on the avenue of Qingchun Street, and saw the lazy city gate guards in the distance leaning on the city gate cave and dozing off, Xu Xin's heart fell to the ground for half a point.
"Up!"
At the sound of the order, his original old base, and the most trustworthy rear camp, rushed forward with a shout, until the city gate guards scattered and fled.
The army inside the city is obviously going to fight against the water, and the outside is the more fierce Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming army, the city gate has been a guard for a long time, and no matter how stupid they are, they are all shrewd, at least this immortal fights, and the truth of mortal retreat is still known.
The soldiers were bloodless, Xu Xin took the Qingchun Gate in one fell swoop, but the city gate was just about to open, and in the direction they came, a Biao Eight Banners Iron Cavalry rushed out.
The horseshoe splashed bursts of sparks on the stone road, and when the two battalions on the left and right of the battalion were still assembled at the city gate, there was a field of chickens and dogs, and the crying father and mother turned into birds and beasts.
This also blames them, five battalions, but the officer corps of the old Tibiao battalion has suffered too much loss, and the sand mixed in has been washed by Xu Xin again, so it is reasonable to have such a thing.
For a time, Qingchun Street was full of the cries of Manchurian soldiers. However, two legs are no better than four legs, shooting arrows from afar, slashing and slashing at close range, and when they have time to retreat into the alley, the standard camp will be in a mess, and people will run and climb in the distance, in order to get as far away as possible from these Eight Banner Army, even if it is just one step.
The intention was discovered, and his subordinates were also in a mess, and Xu Xin, who had not had time to climb the city wall, hurriedly asked his rear battalion and the former deputy general of the former battalion, Zhang Kui, and now the deputy general of the former battalion, Chen Biao, the two trusted old brothers, to organize the defense line as much as possible. However, the deterrent power of the Eight Banners Army was too great, and these new recruits quickly overwhelmed the battle formation that had just been lined up under the city gate.
The army collapsed, and the Eight Banners Army of the counterinsurgency was already victorious, wantonly slashing and killing any green battalion soldier on the road, whether facing them face to face or facing them with their backs. And these green battalions also further impacted the heads of those barely lined up, like a snowball rolling the routed team bigger and bigger.
The goal of the Eight Banners Army is naturally Xu Xin's general banner at Qingchun Gate, as long as Qingchun Street is opened up and control of the city gate is ensured, they will be considered complete. But at this moment, a fire appeared on the city, and after a loud bang, the Eight Banners Iron Rider on Qingchun Street was a person on his back.
Shelling, in the city of Hangzhou is something that has never happened in the Southern Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, whether it is the surrender of King Lu to the Qing Dynasty, or the attack on the Qiantang River by the Lu Jian Dynasty, the battle has never touched the city wall, let alone the city. Even this time, Chen Wen achieved such a big victory, and the Ming army still maintained restraint.
It is the chanting sound of Lingyin Temple for thousands of years, the white lady in Leifeng Tayong Town, or the chaos of Qian Miao Shura City and the rise and fall of the Southern Song Dynasty that exhausted the anger in it. All in all, the city of Hangzhou seems to have a kind of magic that can dispel the anger in people's hearts.
But today, the battle around this Qingchun Gate has begun, and this mythical story has finally ended today. It's just ironic that it was not the fiery red uniforms of the Ming army outside the city that fired into the city, but the gray-blue cannons of the green battalions, and it was not the enemy artillery that fired the shells, but a bronze cannon named General Wucheng Yonggu cast by the Qing court in Hangzhou.
The muzzle of the gun was reversed, and the Eight Banners Army on the street was in disarray under the bombardment, which also gave the Raising Battalion the opportunity to regroup. Of course, holding here is not the goal, the purpose is to attract the Ming army, so as to complete the turnaround, this is Xu Xin's only way to survive.
The city gate opened a gap, and even the drawbridge did not completely fall Xu Xin's personal captain jumped out of the horse and rushed in the direction of the Ming army camp like crazy.
While the rebels and the rebels were fighting in full swing at Qingchun Gate in the east of the city, in a courtyard near the Wulin Gate in the north of the city, Yu Li, who had just arrived, couldn't even take care of his breath, so he couldn't wait to ask the man in front of him if he was ready.
"Don't worry, that's what our Einsatzgruppen did."
The person who spoke was none other than Luo Yongzhong.
After receiving the news that Zheng Chenggong was going north, although Chen Wen didn't know if the result would be like in history, especially when he sent Ma Xin to contain Liang Huafeng, the time was ripe to attack Hangzhou. So at that time, he recruited Luo Yongzhong and asked him to infiltrate it with the cooperation of the special task force in Hangzhou, and transported weapons into the city in batches in the following month.
Luo Yongzhong and his subordinates have been holding back for more than a month, just waiting for today's arrival, but Yu Li still seems to be a little worried, not here, but another part of the action.
"Don't worry, I let Gan Cang pass, that guy will definitely die."
The special task force has already been assembled and is in its place, and Yu Li also brought the action team of the Hangzhou station to participate in the battle, but they are only a supplement, just in case, and the main work is still completed by the special task force.
Out of the courtyard, Luo Yongzhong lit a flag flower, and then rushed to the Wulin Gate not far away, drawing his sword in his hand, and passing through the streets and alleys.
In the sky above the city of Hangzhou with a curfew, the fire in the south of the city soared into the sky, the shouts of killing in the east of the city came and went, and in the dark sky of the north of the city, a flag flower burst out of brilliant sparks in the sky at the same time, in the direction of the north camp of the Ming army, thousands of iron horsemen began to accelerate towards the Wulin Gate.
