Chapter 771: Outside and Inside (Middle)

Just now, when Tang Guangchen and a cadre of Guangxi officials took great risks and led their officers and soldiers to confront those Tusi and the people under them, the officials had a lot of resentment in addition to the fear in their hearts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

What they complained about was naturally Yang Zhen, the brocade guard who forced them to make the final decision and took such a risk. We followed your instructions and fought desperately against these vicious local soldiers and Tusi, and even almost took our lives, while you stayed in the Jingwang Mansion peacefully, but you didn't even show your face. In the end, you will also share the biggest piece of credit, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world.

Of course, they only dare to think about this kind of thought in their hearts, and no one will say it in their mouths, after all, Jinyiwei's murderous reputation is there, and no official dares to offend. But in their hearts, they obviously already thought that Yang Zhen was just moving his mouth, but they wanted them to take risks to deal with the local natives.

In fact, this time, they took the heart of a villain to live the belly of a gentleman and underestimated Yang Zhen. In fact, Yang Zhen not only only explained the matter and then stood by, but was more accustomed to buttoning up the calculations one by one, so that the whole situation was under his control.

When those officials made a layout to wipe out those toasts with the strategy of inviting the gentleman into the urn, Yang Zhen also made two arrangements. One of them is to send a group of people to hide on the side of the governor's yamen to respond, once the two sides really start a war, they can help, of course, if the officials suddenly change their minds, these people can also pass the news back in time, so that Yang Zhen can take precautions.

As for the second matter, it was even more critical, Yang Zhen took this opportunity to take Bai Liang and Zhou Jiao to meet Xiao Duo, the garrison officer of Guilin City, and persuaded him to quell the rebellion with him.

Under the double pressure of Jinyiwei and Jingwangfu, and after learning that even the governor yamen and many other yamen had agreed to join forces to deal with those toasts, although Xiao Duo had always maintained neutrality, he had to agree to this request and sent his men to Yang Zhen to dispatch and command.

Although the garrison in Guilin was far inferior to the elite of the northern border army, and the 3,000-odd men and horses were not yet fully staffed -- most of them were people who ate empty salaries -- they were after all regular officers and soldiers, and not only were far more equipped with weapons than ordinary Yamen officers and soldiers, but they also paid more attention to the way of ordering and prohibiting.

It is precisely because he knows the strength of this group of people that Yang Zhen will use them as his last killer weapon.

When those local soldiers besieged the governor's yamen, Yang Zhen had already brought this group of men and horses over, and when he saw this scene, he did not rush to order an attack to rescue the internal officials, but ordered the troops to stand still, and at the same time found some good positions that were more conducive to the surprise attack of soldiers and horses. If this was known to the officials inside, they would definitely have even more resentment towards Yang Zhen.

And when those native soldiers entered the yamen, Yang Zhen immediately ordered everyone to occupy an excellent ambush position, and then waited quietly. He knew that no matter whether those native soldiers won or lost in the governor's yamen, they would come out exhausted, and this was the best time to launch an attack on his own.

Regarding his arrangement, Bai Liang was still quite puzzled before: "Yang Yanshi, why do you use such a vicious strategy?" In fact, as long as the government takes down those toasts, those people under their hands should not be able to make waves. We can take the toasts as hostages, negotiate and divide with people of all races, and finally turn the conflict into a jade silk......"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Zhen waving his hand: "It's all at this time, Bai Changshi still thinks that the two sides can coexist peacefully?" There is no turning back from the bow, and since they have become enemies, what should be done is to destroy them, not to reconcile! Moreover, the enemy we have to deal with is not only these toasts and native soldiers in the city, but also those people of all ethnic groups outside the city who are ambitious and eager to try.

"This time, if we leave them here, when the men and horses outside the city rebel and launch an attack on Guilin City, the people of all ethnic groups in this city will become our biggest hidden danger. Even if their toast head has been captured by us, as long as there is a guy with some appeal who takes the opportunity to instigate, this Guilin City is bound to be chaotic again. At that time, under internal and external attacks, we may not be able to defend this city.

If we want to calm down the chaos in Guangxi this time, we have to start by pacifying the hidden dangers in the city, at least we must hit these Tusi and their men and horses in the city fiercely, so that it is difficult for them to threaten again, so that the situation can be under our control!"

After saying this, Bai Liang naturally couldn't refute it, but Zhou Jiao's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Yang Yan really understands things, but he has much more vision than ordinary officials, and he will admire it." ”

"General Zhou praised it falsely, what I said is just talk on paper, if you really want to eliminate this disaster, you have to work together and work together!" Yang Zhen did not have the slightest smug look on his face, but said solemnly.

Fortunately, his wish was soon realized, and when those local soldiers could not save their respective Tusi and were forced out by the government, they were already depressed and lost their fighting spirit. At this time, after suddenly encountering a surprise attack, and dozens of people were killed by random arrows from the roof not far away, the native soldiers and domestic slaves were even more panicked.

The native soldiers, who were already not under their own command and were almost a mass of scattered sand, when they saw the officers and soldiers rushing up, their first thought was not to face the battle, but to retreat. Without the courage to fight, they engaged the enemy at the same time, and the battle was destined to become a one-sided killing.

Yang Zhen was the first to kill them, like a dexterous and ferocious wolf, he quickly dodged the panicked attack in front of him, and then came to the commander of several of the more luxuriously dressed native soldiers, and under the dagger in his hand suddenly waved and stabbed, people kept screaming and falling to the ground.

And behind him, the rest of the Jinyi Guard were also extremely brave, with the method of battle formation coordination that they had been familiar with before, they fought steadily and steadily, all the way forward, and soon broke into the formation of the earth soldiers, knocking the already somewhat loose formation into a mess.

And the Guilin officers and soldiers who followed them have picked up a big bargain now. Originally, they were still a little afraid of these native soldiers, after all, over the years, they had seen too many of these guys how fierce and brave they were, even if they were ordered by their own garrison general to quell the rebellion, they were still worried.

But now, after seeing the weak side of these native soldiers, their courage quickly rose. At the same time, because they have been suppressed by the natives of all ethnic groups all these years, the anger of being bullied and treated unfairly by them also broke out in an instant at this moment.

Without too much hesitation, when the officers and soldiers rushed to the native soldiers, they who had been whispering in the past had become extremely hideous at this moment, and the movements of their hands did not slow down in the slightest, and the swords and guns stabbed straight past.

In just one round of attacks, nearly half of the native soldiers were killed on the long street not too far from the governor's yamen, and the rest of the people could only gather together as fast as possible to deal with the officers and soldiers who rushed from both sides.

"Despicable and shameless ......"

"You Han people who killed by heaven know how to use these conspiracies ......"

The only thing the local soldiers who gathered in one place and tried their best to resist wave after wave of attacks by the officers and soldiers was to keep scolding. But all this obviously did not help the facts in front of them, but made the officers and troops even more angry, and the offensive became more ruthless and fierce.

After crushing the morale of these native soldiers in one go, Yang Zhen withdrew from the battle with Jinyiwei's brothers, only sweeping the rear formation. Now that he saw that the native soldiers were united against the offensive of the officers and troops because they were leaning against the courtyard wall of a large mansion somewhere, he immediately issued new orders to the officers and soldiers.

As soon as the order was given, the officers and soldiers, who were continuing to exert constant pressure on the Turkish soldiers, quickly retreated. Just when the native soldiers were puzzled, and even a little happy, a voice that made them desperate sounded: "Crossbowman, prepare—"

As Yang Zhen dropped his hand heavily, the crossbowman, who had just shot two rounds and was not able to continue because the two sides were in a mess, shot the arrow in his hand again.

Sharp arrows whined in the air and quickly flew in front of the native soldiers. Although some of them were blocked by their swords, many more were shot at them. Moreover, this time the rain of arrows was much denser and faster than just now, and in just a few breaths, three rounds were fired, totaling about two hundred sharp arrows.

Amid the screams, the soldiers kept falling to the ground, and there were fewer and fewer people who could stand there to resist. And after three rounds of arrow rain, Yang Zhen once again ordered the officers and troops to attack.

This time, the remaining native soldiers could no longer resist this attack, and only hastily blocked it twice, and then collapsed, or were killed on the spot, or forced to drop their weapons and choose to surrender.

In this way, this army of six or seven hundred people, which had just entered the governor's yamen and almost disturbed the yamen's livelihood, was completely extinguished under several rounds of attacks by the officials and troops, and the whole army was wiped out. Their casualties reached an astonishing eighty percent, with nearly 600 killed or wounded, and the others had long lost the ability and courage to resist and could only be captured.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of those officers and soldiers in the governor's yamen, and they were even more dumbfounded. Why was it that the native soldiers who had just made themselves have a headache and could only be forced back by their toast were so easily defeated? What are these officers and soldiers up to?

Things had clearly gone against their expectations......
