Chao Pichang, the former chief soldier of Changping, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and his face was full of numbness.

He was a little afraid to look at this familiar city.

He was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Changping and guarded the northern gate of the Beijing Division, which shows the trust of the Son of Heaven. However, when the situation of Jianyu's invasion was unfavorable, Chao Pichang still chose to surrender, neither fighting to the death, nor retreating.

originally thought that if he led his troops to surrender, he would not be treated by Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, and he would always be courteous.

"The barbarians that the dog said don't know the etiquette, and they don't understand the truth of the golden city horse!"

Chao Pichang cursed in his heart and looked up at the city. The Donglu himself was stationed in Qinghe and Shahe, but he drove these rebels to test whether the officers and soldiers in the Beijing division dared to come out to fight!

Chao Pichang knew that the officers and soldiers in the Beijing division could easily eat the more than 1,000 troops he brought, although Jianyu repeatedly said that if the Ming army came out, they would come later, but when they arrived, the daylily was cold.

"Swearing." Chao Pichang said weakly.

There was also a weak shouting and scolding sound around them, they were still a hundred feet away from the city wall, although the cannon from the city head could hit it, but Chao Pichang had already made up his mind, as long as the cannon sounded, they turned around and left.

But to his surprise, their scolding was not revived. The banners at the head of the city were in disarray, and it did not look like it was being prepared, but rather as if it had been attacked by someone.

When Chao Pichang saw this scene, his heart suddenly moved.

He is the general soldier of a town, and he is still very familiar with the Ming official army, so he naturally knows what this means, above the city, there is no fighting spirit at all, if he is given 20,000 or 30,000 people, supplemented by artillery, maybe he can really attack the city!

And this morale of the Ming army also gave birth to a kind of happiness in Chao Pichang's heart: it is not that he wants to take refuge in the enemy country, but he is really exhausted!

"Scold Lao Tzu harder, everyone understands, we can't go back, if we don't show our dead strength and show our faces in front of the new master, we may be sent as cheap slaves!" Chao Pichang said loudly: "Look at those cowards in the city, the bitches raised by the son-of-a-bite, we almost died in the bloody battle outside, but they are happy in the capital!" ”

His words aroused the hatred of his subordinates, they were stationed in Changping, and they were indeed happier than staying in the world of Jingshi Huahua, and there were few words of jealousy.

Suddenly, the drum noise rang out, and at first glance, it was also a bit imposing. And the head of the city has not released a single cannon until now, which makes Chao Pichang's heart even more determined.

For a moment, the city was foul-mouthed, but the city was silent.

On the top of the city, there are also civil and military officials assigned by Chongzhen to guard the city, but these people are all gray. Everyone saw that there were only 2,000 troops in front of them, and as long as they went out with an elite, they could be easily defeated. But everyone also knows that behind this surrendered army, there is an army of more than 100,000 people!

The so-called Jurchen is not invincible, in Yu Guozhen's eyes, this is a big joke, but in the Ming court, it has formed a kind of thinking habit, and now it is not a thousand Jiannu, but 100,000!

Hundreds of thousands of people were silent, but not a single man was a man!

In addition to fear, a strong sense of humiliation also floated in the hearts of the low-level soldiers in the city, who served as soldiers and paid for the country, even if they died, they had no mercy, but their superiors still wanted to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, and refused to stand up and raise their arms and shout, so what could they say about these barely subsistence soldiers?

Just then, in the south, the sound of horses' hooves rolled in.

"That's ...... Who? "The defenders of the city looked south, and their first thought was not reinforcements, but a large group of Jiannu coming.

However, when I looked at it, I found that there were not many people, only about 200 horses, and the speed of the horses was not fast. What's more, the people on horseback, dressed in colorful clothes, do not look like a regular army.

It's like a rabble of makeshift patchwork.

Chao Pichang also saw it, he was a little hesitant at first, he knew that his two thousand people were not enough to fight with the Ming army in the city, and he was only playing a tentative role. Therefore, if a large army of Ming troops came to meet him, he would not hesitate to turn around and flee.

But what he saw was not only not a large group of people, but a group of rabble, which made Chao Pichang feel that there seemed to be an opportunity.

When those people got closer, he saw one of them holding a large flag, and on the flag was written a row of words crookedly: "Daming Jinggi Qin Wang Yiyong."

"What the hell is this!" Chao Pichang was immediately happy, this is clearly the so-called Qinwang Righteous Army composed of a group of people, a pure rabble, I am afraid that many people don't even know how to use weapons, and they are already lucky not to fall off the horse.

Such a group of people came to fight him, and it was a complete death. It just so happens that he also needs some heads to flatter his new master!

"Brothers, this is a feat sent to the door, destroy them, let's call it a day and go back to shabu mutton!"

Hearing his voice, those surrendered troops responded sparsely, and they were all a little listless. Chao Pichang watched the less than two hundred horsemen arrive in a mess and arrived less than fifty zhang away from his own army formation, he ordered to prepare to shoot, but at this moment, he saw the opponent's banner wave suddenly, and then the piercing lock sound sounded.

"I actually used the lock to deliver the news, and it was really a rabble...... "Chao Pichang's thought only then came to mind, and he saw that the opponent who was originally staggering suddenly rode right, and everyone's riding posture couldn't be more standard. And the war horses that were originally swaying slowly under their crotches also began to sprint at that moment!

"Huh!" Chao Pichang was stunned, and then shouted: "Shoot, shoot!" ”

In the midst of his shouting, the rebels' firecrackers began to aim and fire. With the roar of firearms, the rebel camp was filled with gunsmoke.

Although it was early autumn in July, the southeast wind was blowing, so the smoke screen covered the rebels firmly. Chao Pichang's mind turned, and he knew that it was not good, since he surrendered to Jiannu, he was not a bold man, and he was not silent, so he turned his horse's head and turned around and left.

But at this time, the two hundred horsemen had accelerated to the extreme, and the scimitars in their hands also appeared, like dozens of sharp arrows, directly penetrating into the chaotic army array.

The shining scimitar slashed into the **, and with the impact of the war horse, it was quickly pulled out and harvested towards another life. The saber specially made by the Xinxiang Ordnance Institute according to Yu Guozhen's suggestion has a blood groove, which can be easily pulled out even if it is deeply slashed into the human body, so as not to be caught by the violently contracted muscles.

This terrible cavalry weapon set off a raging wave among the rebels, and in just one moment, it was killed!

The Ming army at the head of the city looked at these colorful rebels, who at first seemed to be playing tricks in front of the overpass, but now they are like dragons and tigers, pounced on the rebels with indomitable momentum. The fire rang out in the rebels, but what was surprising was that among the nearly 200 cavalry rebels, only a very few horses fell down, and the people on the horses rolled on the ground a few times before they got up again. The vast majority of them, piercing through the rebels ten times their size, teared apart the ranks of the rebels, and then swept through the rebels as if through a layer of tissue paper.

"This ...... Who is this? ”

The Ming army at the head of the city was dumbfounded, and then they remembered that the enemies under the city were not real Jurchens, but just rebels who had just taken refuge in the past. Their actual combat effectiveness is only equal to their own, or even inferior, and their number is only a mere two thousand!

"General, let's go out and kill too, this is just a bunch of chickens and dogs!"

"Exactly, exactly, those first achievements are all military exploits!"

Seeing that the righteous army had dispersed the camp of the rebellious army, the officers and soldiers in the city asked for battle, but the civil and military officials who were ordered by Chongzhen to guard the Xizhimen only shook their heads one by one.

Zheng Qianqiu is a soldier at the head of the city, looking at those rebels who don't even have mandarin duck battle jackets, all of them are heroes, and he is covered in armor, but he shrinks from the side of the city to watch, his heart is full of frustration. Good man, bento is like the city, where is it like himself to watch others fight in the city!

Seeing that no matter what they said, it was just one word "not allowed", he couldn't help it, pulled out his waist knife, and slashed it on the masonry of the city wall: "Kill the rebellion, kill the rebellion, kill the rebellion!" ”

In his heart, "rebellion" is not only the rebels under the city, but also the cowardly civil and military officers at the head of the city!

His voice was loud, and under this shout, the sound shook in all directions. Those officers and soldiers who were either angry or rejoicing couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this shout, and then they also responded in harmony: "Kill the rebel, kill the rebel!" ”

The civil and military officers appointed by Chongzhen at the head of the city looked panicked one by one, for fear that under the anger of the masses, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city mutinied, and one of them couldn't help complaining: "Guarding the city is guarding the city, where are the chaotic people, lying about the righteous teacher, and coming to disturb the hearts of our army!" ”

As soon as his words came out, the surroundings were full of angry eyes, and a soldier sneered: "With the reward of the emperor of the imperial court, he eats and drinks every day, he is not loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but he is not allowed to be patriotic...... You dog! ”

"Dog officer, dog officer!"

There was a leader, and someone scolded again, and the official suddenly knew that something was wrong, covered his face with his sleeve, and quietly went down to the city. And the officers and soldiers at the head of the city didn't care about arguing with him, and everyone looked at the city again, wondering what was going on in the battle below.

Under the city, Chao Pichang was turning back in a hurry, he fled as soon as possible, which was the right decision, behind him, after penetrating the rebels, the rebels were continuing to tear on both sides, and the rebels had completely fallen into chaos. They didn't have any decent resistance at all, they only hated their father and mother for giving them two feet, some of them even crawled with rolls, some of them knelt down, and of course, there were also those who were separated from their heads and corpses on the spot.

But the most terrifying thing in Chao Pichang's eyes was not the corpse of the crop that fell down, but the relentless ride that followed him closely.

This ride is less than ten zhang away from the nest Pichang!

The head of the city also noticed this scene, the defeat of the rebels was already irreversible, more than half of the rebels had fled, and the generals, especially Chao Pichang, who had been shaved into a money rat's tail, had become the most eye-catching target in the eyes of everyone!

"Braided slave, come here!"

Chao Pichang heard such a cheer coming from the back of his head, and he couldn't help but look back again, the distance between the two sides was only five zhang left! He looked forward again, and a large cloud of smoke and dust rose in front of him, which was the trace of the movement of the cavalry, and it was his new master who had come to meet him!

At this moment, he almost cried with gratitude, cheering for the empathy of his new master.
