Chapter 435: The Zhu Family Army is here!
After finishing the task on this side, Li Jiucheng set his sights on another place, so he asked Geng Zhongming to take some people over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Destination, Grass Bridge.
The dense water that originates from Mishen Mountain enters the city from the small water gate in the south of the city, and flows into the city after being called the painting river, and the painting river crosses the east city of Dengzhou to the north.
The grass bridge is the stone bridge across the painting river on the sea gate of Dengzhou Chengbei Town, which is the traffic artery of Dengzhou Beicheng, although the river is frozen in winter, but from the bridge you can overlook the river on both sides.
At this time, the vicinity of the grass bridge is the same as elsewhere.
Surrounded by rebels with belongings in their arms, they excitedly came out of the doors of their houses. Ignoring Geng Zhongming and other officers on the road, he immediately broke open the door of the next house, rushed in and began to slash without saying a word.
Robbing, killing, women, all kinds of evil.
Everywhere there were cries and howls coming from the house!
Geng Zhongming's family was red-eyed, and he leaned over and said to Geng Zhongming: "My lord, let's grab a little bit if we don't do it, and we will all be robbed by these Qiu Ba." What else is our brother going to get rich? ”
As soon as these words came out, thinking about Li Jiucheng's personality, for a while, Geng Zhongming was also moved.
So, he ordered his men to start looting, but half of the property had to be handed over to him. As for the mission, the ghost still remembers!
Soon, they rushed outside the mansion of one of the largest salt merchants in the city.
This is the home of the largest salt merchant in Dengzhou, and there are officials in the family for generations, and they are very oppressive to the Liao soldiers on weekdays, and Geng Zhongming wants to take revenge and make a fortune. This salt merchant has a rich foundation, even if he robs a thousand ordinary people, he may not be able to compare with this one.
However, as the most present salt merchant, the number of guards in the house is also large, and for a while, when he first came in, he was a sword and a sword.
Both sides were in an abnormal state, and they were more than a little bolder than usual, and the two sides were fighting in a ping-pong fight at the door. The courtyard inside swished out two arrows, but their shooting skills were ordinary, and the hit rate was not high.
Soon, the rebels gained the upper hand.
Geng Zhongming shouted loudly: "Don't be busy looking for girls, kill the man, and search for money first." ”
Similar scenes were repeated in various cities in the city, scattering batch after batch of rebellious forces. For a time, the number of rebels seemed to be large, but in fact, they were leaderless, chaotic, and each grabbed its own.
If a large army comes at this time, it will be broken with one blow.
In the sky, a huge black shadow turned white on the horizon, and flew into the distance.
is the same, it is Zhu Zilong's giant eagle brother, after reconnoitring the enemy, he flew to the Zhu family's military camp.
The management of the four gates is not strict, and many of the Zhu family's troops have also sent out information one after another!
On a mountain a few miles outside the city, the snow has not disappeared, and the Zhu family army is hiding here. A man who did not collect at night bypassed the foot of the mountain and came to Zhu Zilong, he reported with a white breath: "Report to the Hou Ye, there are no rebel sentry horses nearby, this morning the rebel sentry horses rushed to the north, and even the vicinity of Ma'anshan has withdrawn. ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhu Zilong's mouth, and he touched the giant eagle brother who landed on the ground on the side.
The next second, he said to the adjutant: "Tell the whole army to advance." ”
A moment later, the front flag waved, the officer's voice came one after another, the soldiers stood up, and the line began to continue to advance north......
When it was not far from the target, Zhu Zilong passed the military order again.
"Master Hou has an order, speed up the rapid march, and you must keep up with the leading flag. Zhu Jiajun, forward, forward, forward! ”
For a while, the steps on the official road became more dense, the speed of the whole army was faster, and under the guidance of the front team flag, Zhu Jiajun was like a Red Army, with a straight face, clenched the gunpowder gun in his hand, and rolled forward......
In the rear, the artillery regiment of five horses and one light artillery, plus the artillerymen pushing behind it, was not much behind in speed.
All the Zhu family's army was united, their fighting spirit was high, and their excited skin was red.
If it weren't for Zhu Zilong's order, he was not allowed to sing military songs, maybe the chorus of 10,000 people would have started at this time.
In contrast to the unity of the Zhu family's army, the rebellious army in the city died more and more at this time. They are competing because of the uneven distribution of dirt, and the people and horses of each department are in turmoil, you beat me, I beat you, it is really not to die.
At this time, the sky was just turning white, but it was not yet daylight.
Cigarette butts were everywhere in the city, countless rebels and civilians in the streets and alleys were wandering around, and the green-skinned loafers in the city appeared one after another to act as the leading party of the rebels. Crowds rushed into the streets and alleys and houses to burn, kill and loot!
And the Zhu family's army, which had been prepared for a long time, did not accept it at night, and at this time put on the same clothes as the chaotic army.
It was decided to start targeted arson outside the city to cause greater civil unrest, so as to create a greater advantage for the arrival of the Zhu family's army.
Jiang Hai saw that the door of a house next to him was ajar, it was a grass hut, and he ran up and kicked it open, and there were two corpses of a man and a woman inside. I sighed in my heart, and thought to myself, I will help you get revenge. So the grass hut was set on fire!
The other Zhu family soldiers did the same at night, and it didn't take long for the city to start blazing. However, in the screams and shouts of people from all sides, it did not attract much attention.
At this time, Li Jiucheng's face was not good-looking, and some soldiers' corpses appeared on the road after he passed the bell tower.
The city was full of smashing and looting, and the battles between the Liao soldiers also broke out in the southern city, and the various troops were scattered everywhere, and even the people sent out by the family were gone, and the city was completely out of control.
Therefore, he didn't dare to disperse his forces now, so he could only honestly wait for the robbery to end.
As many houses on the street spit out flames, the whole street was filled with smoke, and it was impossible to see the situation at the north gate. He thought it was his subordinates, Li Jiucheng, who inadvertently set the fire in order to grab money and women, could only curse a few words in his heart.
It's just that what he doesn't know is.
At this moment, Zhu Jiajun had also arrived less than a mile away from the city gate.
From afar, Zhu Zilong looked at the tatters that didn't even close the city gate, or couldn't be closed, and sneered in his heart.
"When the city is in chaos like this, the leader of the rebel army is giving orders, how many soldiers can be gathered at one time? Even if it is summoned, they have just made a fortune, and if they can have a little fighting spirit, our army will win this battle! ”
When he was young, Zhu Jiajun began to charge.
Facing a small number of defenders, the soldiers of the Zhu family army opened fire directly.
Li Jiucheng, who was on the other side of the city wall, listened to the sound and asked the henchmen beside him with a little doubt: "The voice in the distance, what kind of fire gun is this?" Why hasn't Lao Tzu heard this kind of voice, there are such firearms in the resistance army in Dengzhou City? ”
All the henchmen showed a blank look, only one soldier guarding the city was on the side, and suddenly replied tremblingly: "Small, the villain has heard it, it seems to be the Zhu family army, and the bird gun used is this kind of sound." ”
"Zhu Jiajun?" Li Jiucheng and his henchmen gasped.
In the next second, Li Jiucheng grabbed the soldier's collar and asked loudly, "What you said is true?" Can you be sure? ”
The soldier was frightened, but kept nodding.
Li Jiucheng, who received an affirmative answer, had muscles trembling on his face, and his other henchmen were also trembling in their calves.
In their hearts, what they were most afraid of was hearing Zhu Jiajun's three words, however, because of their previous estimates, they made a wrong guess. I never thought that Zhu Jiajun would arrive so soon.
Miscalculated, super miscalculated, oh my!
Li Jiucheng was in a hurry, took out the knife casually, put the knife on Geng Zhongming's neck, and scolded loudly: "Lao Tzu asked you to sentry in the three directions of the southwest and east in the morning, and you ****** say that the sentry horse did not come back." Now immediately gather the soldiers to come back to defend the city, otherwise they don't know how to die, who dares to continue to loot, and behead immediately! ”
Geng Zhongming and the others turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly responded to the order, ran to their mounts, jumped on their horses and hurried away.
However, not waiting for them to summon.
Halfway through, I heard a loud bang on the grass bridge, and a huge flame exploded, and a thick cloud of white smoke spread out from the flames.
The waterway exploded, and in the distance, it seemed that the shadows of warships could be seen on the waterway outside the city.
Li Jiucheng's heart seemed to be directly attached to the ice cave, and the Zhu family army even arranged for the naval sailor?
How good is that?
