Chapter 534: Careless!

Relying on the firearms support of the Chen Mansion and the strategic arrangement of being one step ahead, Zhu Qing led the Jinyi Guard and the county government guards to almost wipe out the entire cavalry battalion and shield armor of the rebels, and even broke Xu Dingguo's baggage battalion, disrupting the rebel infantry array, greatly consuming the attack resources of the rebels' long-range attackers, and seriously slowing down the rebels' march.

If it was an ordinary period, Xu Dingguo would definitely not swallow this breath easily, and he would definitely return to Zigong City to settle accounts with Zhu Qing, after all, Xu Dingguo is a person who will take revenge!

However, this time, Xu Dingguo could only swallow his anger. Because he has the task of going north to support the Dongying Society, and more importantly, the dozen boxes of treasures around him, after being disrupted by the Jinyi Guard, Xu Dingguo did not dare to act rashly, and it was not the ordinary generals who held the city gate, but the Jinyi Guard, who had just beheaded Duoduo and many other generals, commanded Qinglong! And what was waiting for Xu Dingguo on the north city gate was no longer spears and wooden arrows, but firearms such as Tiangang Five Thunder and Nine Dragons Divine Cannon!

"Gear up your troops and continue north!" Xu Dingguo looked back at the north gate of Zigong that he had escaped in embarrassment, and ordered unwillingly.

Under the organization of Xu Dingguo, the rebels once again moved forward slowly......

Behind them, there were thirty elusive figures, and Zhu Qing sent thirty brocade guards to harass Xu Dingguo along the way, so that he could not reach Chengdu smoothly.

After the 20,000 rebels left, Zhu Qing did not dare to relax at all, and there were still more than 10,000 rebels in Zigong City. Xu Dingguo's brother Xu Dingyuan led his troops to fight with two hundred brocade guards in the southeast of the city. The enemy is outnumbered, and once the firearms in the hands of the Jinyi guards have no ammunition support or malfunction, the 200 people will definitely not be able to last long in the face of more than 10,000 rebels.

"Quickly clear the battlefield and quickly reinforce the southeast of the city!" Zhu Qing gave an order to the guards beside him.

"Qinglong, you say, how many soldiers and horses do you need?" Since Chen Wuyong has returned to the imperial army, he must show something. Although Zhu Qing has no hard requirements, but the relatives of the county government are still in the hands of Jinyiwei, saying that it is a resettlement, but it is actually a kind of hijacking, if Chen Wuyong dares to have two hearts, the consequences can be imagined.

Zhu Qing thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "To deal with the rebels, except for these people in Beicheng, the other county guards don't have to go, Xu Dingguo left three hundred rebels to deal with your county government, I hope Lord Chen can keep the county government, and the most important thing is to stabilize the order in the city, and do your best to reduce the damage of the rebels to the people in the city, especially the refugees in Xicheng, they have no shelter, they are easy to become the target of the rebels' attacks, and the rebels are likely to use refugees to blackmail us." I have sent people to guard the various strongholds, but the manpower is far from enough, and Lord Chen can help me. ”

Chen Wuyong nodded in response, "Understood!" Since a small county is the head of a county, it is of course responsible for protecting the people in the city. Later, I will let the guards lead the troops to Xicheng and strengthen the guard! ”

"Good. I'll take my troops to the southeast of the city now. The situation in the city depends on Lord Chen! Zhu Qing said, and couldn't help but thank Chen Wuyong.

Chen Wuyong returned the courtesy. The two said goodbye at the North City Gate, and each led his men and horses to their respective positions.

After their respective actions, Chen Wuyong did not dare to fool Zhu Qing, and honestly sent people to patrol various strongholds in the city, especially Xicheng, and even sent the general army to join the Jinyi guards stationed there.

Zhu Qing's side is skilled in business and moves more quickly. However, in the battle of the North City Gate, although the Jinyi Guard completed the task of blocking the attack, the consumption of firearms was very large. In addition to the serious shortage of ammunition for the Tiangang Five Thunder and the Nine Dragons Divine Cannons, several Nine Dragons Divine Cannons were also scrapped. Sure enough, although the explosive power and killing range of the Nine Dragons Divine Cannon modified by Ma Blacksmith are above the Tiangang Five Thunders, because they have not been systematically tested and improved, their performance stability is not as good as that of the Tiangang Five Thunders. There are pros and cons.

If there is not enough firearm support, it is obviously very difficult to deal with Xu Dingyuan's more than 10,000 rebels with hundreds of brocade guards, and they will make even greater sacrifices. Zhu Qing didn't want to defeat the entire Qinglongmen in one battle, after all, they still had to pursue Xu Dingguo, who had already gone north!

When he was about to reach the southeast turret of the city, the more Zhu Qing thought about it, the more he felt that it was necessary to fight more cautiously. He stopped suddenly.

"General, what's wrong?" The guard asked, and the whole team went into a state of alert, thinking that Zhu Qing had discovered the rebels.

"The enemy is outnumbered, and we rush to reinforce the turret brothers, I'm afraid we won't be able to solve the problem. You take fifty people back to Chen's Mansion and carry out all the remaining earthen cannons in Chen's Mansion. Also, tell Boss Chen that the ammunition of the Nine Dragons Divine Cannon is no longer enough, see if he still has ...... If you have one, quickly get to the turret. Zhu Qing ordered the guards beside him.

"Understood!"

"Go!" Zhu Qing nodded, and the guards ordered fifty brocade guards to return to the city to find Chen Jiujin to borrow artillery and ammunition.

"The others keep going! Fast! After arranging for people to go back to replenish weapons and ammunition, Zhu Qing continued to lead the troops to the southeast of the city!

At this time, the battle in the southeast of the city was not fierce, and presumably the Jinyi guards at the east gate and the south gate retreated to the southeast fort of the city. The southeast turret of the city chokes the intersection of the east gate and the south gate, and it is the fortress of the east city and the south city into the city. Zigong County Ya set up a turret here, in order to control these two roads at the same time and protect the city.

The southeast turret of the city had originally fallen into the hands of the rebels, but Zhu Qing focused on drawing a circle on the map of the city fortifications. Jinyiwei took advantage of the rebel guards to enter the city to see off Xu Dingguo, and quietly captured the turret that had already been reconnoitred many times. When Xu Dingyuan rushed to respond to the battle, he found that the turret had changed people, and the east gate and the south gate were under attack at that time, Xu Dingyuan couldn't take care of the turret, so he could only detour and abandon this fortress.

Xu Dingyuan never expected that the attack on the east gate and the south gate was just a feint, but even so, the strongholds of the two city gates were destroyed by the Jinyi guard and lost their combat effectiveness.

After destroying the major strongholds at the east gate and the south gate, the Jinyi guard was outnumbered by the rebels, so according to Zhu Qing's previous instructions, the two armies retreated to the southeast turret of the city at the same time.

Although the turret received Xu Dingyuan's troops from the southeast side, Jinyiwei also formed a firepower buildup, and before Jinyiwei's ammunition was in crisis, Xu Dingyuan was difficult to capture the turret for a while. The two sides hit and stopped, and fell into a stalemate.

By the time Zhu Qing led his troops to feel support, the Jinyi guards on the turret had almost exhausted their ammunition. Just as he was preparing for the final assault with the rebels. Zhu Qing is here!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

When the Jinyi guards on the turret were suppressed by the rain of arrows from the rebels and there was no firearm to counterattack, Zhu Qing's reinforcements continuously fired artillery at the rebels on the southeast side. Finally brought back the brothers who were guarding the southeast direction! Zhu Qing's arrival brought the battle for the southeast city tower into a new situation.

The rebel general Xu Dingyuan also seemed to be ignited by Zhu Qing's real anger, and the two sides quickly entered a new round of fierce fighting......

Just when the southeast turret of the city was in full swing, there was a sudden undercurrent in the city!

After Xu Dingguo's Vice General Liu received a box of gold and silver, he did not attack the county government! To be precise, they did not do their best to attack the county government. It was only that less than 100 people were sent to the county government for a trip, and obviously, what was waiting for them was the county government guards who were personally seated by Chen Wuyong. Three hundred people may not be able to easily capture the county government, let alone a few dozen people.

The two sides didn't fight too fiercely, but they did fight. The rebels soon scattered and fled into the alleys and alleys.

Chen Wuyong was worried about fraud, so he didn't catch up. However, they sent people to various strongholds to inform the rebels of the situation.

But strangely, the various strongholds were not disturbed by the rebels, and the refugee camp west of the city was also unharmed! At this moment, Chen Wuyong ran into the Jinyi Guard team that was sent back to the city by Zhu Qing to get artillery and ammunition.

"General, did you encounter the three hundred rebels surnamed Liu when you came?" Chen Wuyong said anxiously.

The leading Jinyi guard shook his head, "I haven't met it." Lord Chen, you are in such a hurry, is there something wrong with the county government? ”

Chen Wuyong shook his head, "The county government has not had an accident. A small group of rebels have come to harass the county government, and they have been beaten away by me, but they don't look like they really want to fight, but more like a temptation! Now it is gone, and not even the various strongholds in the city have been found...... I'm worried that the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, which will be bad for us! ”

The leading Jinyi Wei nodded, "That's true, then Master Lao Chen has a lot to worry about." We still have urgent matters, I'm afraid we can't stay with Lord Chen to find the rebels. ”

"Where are you going?" Chen Wuyong was puzzled, just now he thought that these dozens of brocade guards were sent back by Zhu Qing to support him. Now it seems clear that these people have another mission.

"Let's go to Chen ......"

One person was about to say something, but was stopped in time by the leading Jinyi guard.

"Oh, Chengbei...... We are going to the north of the city, there are some war horses and equipment over there, and we didn't care about carrying the artillery, the general asked us to come back and get it, and said that we would use ...... in the battle in a while" Although the little leader's explanation was a bit far-fetched, Chen Wuyong didn't want to ask too much. He just smiled and nodded. watched Jin Yiwei walk in front of the county office.

Where did the 300 rebels who didn't storm the county government and didn't intrude on the strongholds go?!

When the fifty brocade guards who rushed to Chen's Mansion approached Chen's Mansion, they felt an ominous murderous aura coming from inside!

"Not good. Chen's Mansion was moved! "The little leader is also very skilled, and soon smells the danger of the enemy.
