Chapter 20: The Capture of the City IV

Lu Ming looked sideways at the captain and said with a smile: "This leader doesn't know anything!" The rebels rose in a hurry, and it took only two days to fight full, but in fact there were only more than 1,000 people. It is difficult to even defend the entire city wall, in case the official army counterattacks, how can it be defended! ”

After this sentence, there was silence in the venue, how could the leaders think so much, they all lowered their heads and did not speak.

Zhao Dali smiled and said, "Scholar, we are all croppers, how can we know a lot!" Please go on. ”

Lu Ming: "Actually, although there are not many officers and soldiers left in the city, I am afraid that there are more than the number of righteous troops, and now the officers and troops in the city may not have been completely wiped out, right?" ”

Zhao Deli: "Yes, there are still hundreds of officers and soldiers guarding the city wall, and we can't fight it." ”

Lu Ming: "So, once the city is attacked, these officers and soldiers will respond!" ”

One of the leaders of the Ma army asked, "Since the city cannot be defended, what good is it to give up the city?" ”

Lu Ming: "Good question! First of all, the entire Nanjiang Prefecture thought that this time the official army was plundering everywhere and made people angry, and the righteous army would inevitably be supported by the people when they left the city, that is, the strength of the righteous army would be greatly strengthened; Second, the officers and soldiers were left in the air, and they still had time to adjust their deployment, and we were all safe during this time; Third, the elite troops of Nanjiang Prefecture are ironclad troops, with only 10,000 troops, and they are only stationed in the state capital, which shows that the garrisons in other places are empty, and this is an opportunity for the rebels to expand their power. ”

Zhao Dali nodded frequently when he heard this, and then asked, "So in this way, what good is it for us to enter the city this time?" ”

Lu Ming: "The benefits are great! First of all, there are so many things in the armory, granary, and vault in the city that we can use to quickly expand our strength after we leave the city; Second, the Nanjiang Prefecture Rebels captured the state city, which will surely cause a huge sensation, and many forces will definitely notice the rebels, which will also increase the popularity of the rebels. ”

Zhao Deli listened with relish and asked, "Sir, may I ask if we can leave by transporting these materials out of the city?" ”

Lu Ming: "That's what I'm going to do right now!" ”

Then Lu Ming smiled and told the leaders what he was going to do next, and Zhao Deli suddenly felt that Mr. Lu's smile became a little obscene when he talked about this.

After the meeting, Lu Ming was appointed as a military division general by the stunned leaders. Older than the captains, it shows the respect of the leaders for him.

That night, a notice was posted in the alleys of the city, and a few soldiers even read the manuscript along the street. It is said that this entry into the city is a rebel army against tyranny, not bandits; Then there were the rebel armies and the banner of righteousness because the government was greedy and even indulged the army to plunder the people, so they went into the city to save the people; Finally, if you want to join the rebels, you can go to the square to sign up, and in order to save your strength, you will leave before dawn.

The residents of the city were indifferent to this, after all, who would go to the rebels who were going to leave in the middle of the night. However, there are still some people who have made enemies with the officials and soldiers in the last petition in the city and go to defect angrily.

And after Wan'er entered the city with the rebels, she hurried back to her home to bury her parents. Wan'er's parents are teaching craftsmen, perhaps because she was born in a scholarly family since she was a child, so that Wan'er's daring character has a lot of gentle and elegant temperament.

Wan'er looked at her parents who were gradually buried in the soil, and remembered that her parents had taught her to read and write in this old house since she was a child, taught her to do laundry, cook, and taught her not to quarrel with her sister. Thinking of the sister whose life and death are unknown, Wan'er's heart is even more sad, this house that she grew up in here, the place she called home, can no longer be called her home.

That night, all the rebels did not rest. These men collected almost all the vehicles and horses in the city to transport supplies. Above the square, there are also more registration offices for recruiting soldiers than expected. In this city of 100,000 people, more than 500 people came to join the rebel army, without him, the last time the official army did too much, plundered the whole city, robbed people's money and prostituted people's wives and daughters, and committed public anger!

Outside the city, however, there is still a battlefield. At this time, most of the officers and soldiers were hurrying back, because their wealth was in the city, and they were afraid that these thieves would rob their own money as they robbed others; Just as they were afraid that the rebels would commit adultery with their wives and daughters.

At this time, the closest to the city was a group of ironclad troops and a group of garrisons. There are more than 800 people in this group of ironclad troops, and the leading banner commander Wuhe heard that the city was captured by the thieves, and the looted property was slowly transported by the logistics soldiers, so he led people to march to the city in a hurry, thinking that he would capture the city before others and make a great contribution, maybe he could be promoted.

Wuhe: "Hurry up! Hurry up! We're going to go back and kill those thieves, and if we're the first to take back the city, we'll be the first to take back the city!" ”

Those ironclad soldiers were wearing heavy armor, and they had worked hard for two days, but they didn't have much rest, and now they had to rush back to the city, where could they walk. But this black chief is rushing behind with someone with a big knife, who dares to disobey!

At this time, a cavalry galloped over, ran directly to Wuhe, held a sign and said: "There is a military order here!" ”

Wuhe: "Who sent you?" ”

Cavalry: "The last general was sent by the commander of the horse to convey military orders. There's a talisman here! ”

Wu He carefully inspected this talisman and confirmed that it was genuine, so he asked, "What military orders does Chief Ma have?" ”

Cavalry: "The governor has an order!" The state city has been recovered, and the thieves have changed back into the uniforms of our garrison and gone to the east of the city, and now they are dispatching to the east of the city to kill the thieves! ”

Wuhe: "The last general commands!" ”

Cavalry: "Please go to the east of the city quickly, let go of the thieves, everyone can't afford to wait!" ”

Wuhe: "Don't worry, I have my own dispatch in my heart." ”

Wu He looked at the figure of the cavalry gradually moving away, and felt resentful in his heart. This city was taken back by Ma Tianyun, and the credit is not on his head, all his hard work to run back is in vain, and now he has to kill some thief. Although Wuhe complained, he had no choice but to turn around and go to the east of the city, after all, if he was to fight the thief, it would be a credit!

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the corner of the city, Wu He and his men bumped into a group of people, sure enough, they were wearing the clothes of the garrison, Wu He thought to himself that this thief was really funny, thinking that I would not recognize it in a vest! Now Wu He didn't bother to talk nonsense, he pulled out his big knife and shouted: "Don't run away thieves!" Brothers, kill me! ”

Those ironclad soldiers are extremely tired, running with Wuhe all over the sky, they are full of complaints, and now they finally meet the master who can vent, and they can rush forward. The gang of thieves was not afraid, and rushed over with a knife.

The two groups of people killed together in the blink of an eye, and the number of people was about the same. The soldiers of the Ironclad Army found that not only the uniforms on the opposite side were garrisoned, but the weapons were actually garrisoned, which was really imitated, and the level of fighting was about the same, the Ironclad Army was really fighting to the death, anyway, this group of people couldn't beat them.

I don't want to fight on both sides until dawn, only to find out that something is wrong. As soon as the two sides shouted, they realized that the other party was a serious friendly army.

Wu He angrily walked forward and said, "How did you guys do it? How did you rush over as soon as you saw us! Got a grudge? ”

The leader of the garrison, who had been beaten and suffered heavy losses, also came out: "Don't talk nonsense! In the evening, a cavalryman came and said that the thieves had run away from the north of the city wearing the clothes of your ironclad army, so we came to chase them! ”

Wu He felt that he knew something, and asked rhetorically, "Does that person still have a talisman?" ”

Garrison Chief: "Yes." I didn't bother to pay attention to that Ma Tianyun without a soldier! ”

Wu He slapped himself in the face with remorse: "Brother! We're all fooled! ”

Garrison Leader: "What's the matter, you were also deceived by that cavalry?" ”

Wuhe: "We were all deceived by Ma Tianyun's old bastard!" ”

In this confused battle, nearly half of the casualties of the two groups were killed, and the rebels didn't see it.

And this naturally came from the hands of Lu Ming, the military general of the righteous army, the righteous army captured Ma Tianyun, and those military talisman documents were naturally obtained by the righteous army. When the rebels were fighting within the official army, they rushed out of the west of the city overnight, the horse army was responsible for covering the left and right, and the infantry drove the carriage to carry a large amount of supplies to the outside of the city.
