Chapter 409 Rather be a peace dog

Li Yuanjiang took over the east gate of Donghu City, and while he sent people to guard the city gate, he arranged heavy troops to seize the west and north gates.

The defenders of the west and north gates were ravaged by the Ming artillery outside the city for a long time, and now they were copied by the Ming army, and they saw that the Ming army had entered the city, and psychologically they had given up resistance, and were driven out of the city by the Ming army with flintlock pistols.

The 60th Division and the 59th Division converged in the city, and everything was exactly the same as Lin Chengxiang's design.

Li Yuanjiang and Sun Ke did not rest, but took advantage of the night to search the city, and according to the custom, they divided the soldiers into regiments and cleared the remaining defenders in the city.

Although there were thousands of Donghu troops, the sound of flintlock guns was everywhere in the city, and the news of a large number of Ming troops entering the city made people panic, and even the guard Wu Yanzu could not gather his soldiers, only hundreds of personal soldiers surrounded him.

The Donghu soldiers began to flee in the direction of the city gate, trying to escape out of the city, but the east, west, and north gates were guarded by the Ming army, and every time they entered the city, they would leave behind a large number of corpses, and then retreat in despair.

The people in the city also fell into panic, they tail behind the soldiers, and want to escape out of the city under the protection of the soldiers, but every time they meet the Ming army defending the city, the lightly armed Donghu soldiers flee quickly, and the last people who are strafed by the Ming army's flintlock guns are these people who drag their families and mouths.

Now the Donghu soldiers and civilians in the city are like flies in a glass house, seeing the future clearly and unable to find a way out.

Only the Han people were warned in advance, and they stayed at home one by one, and never came out to peek at the excitement, even if the shouts outside shook the sky and the blood flowed like a river.

There were no Ming defenders at the south gate, and in the end, the Donghu soldiers and civilians in the city poked out.

The Donghu soldiers wrapped the people in the city and began to flee from the south gate, and even Wu Yanzu was ready to flee south from the south gate.

"General, this is obviously the Ming army's method of 'encircling three que', and there must be an ambush of the Ming army outside the city."

Wu Yanzu glanced at his relatives around him, he didn't think of the ambush of the Ming army, "But, apart from going out of the city, do we have a choice?" ”

"General, knowing that there are ambushes outside the city, do we still want to go out of the city?"

Wu Yanzu smiled bitterly, "Stay in the city, we only have two ways, either surrender or be killed by the Ming army, can we still resist to the end in the current situation?" He looked at the hundreds of guards, and his heart had long since lost the pride of yesterday.

"General......

Wu Yanzu waved his hand to stop his entourage from speaking, "What if there are no ambushes outside the city?" Besides, even if there were ambushes, we would have been mentally prepared to escape some people at night. ”

"General, my subordinates suggest that we don't take the lead, let the rebels and people in the city take the lead, and we will look for a route to break out according to the gunfire of the Ming army?"

"This is not bad, we immediately set off, after leaving the south city gate, the tail is behind, looking for the weak point of the Ming army." Wu Yanzu beckoned, and hundreds of guards followed him out of the south city gate.

Outside the city, there were already a large number of Donghu soldiers and civilians, the soldiers ran fast, they were all in front of the team, although the people gave up their heavy belongings when they left the city, most of them dragged their families and left behind the team, and the last was Wu Yanzu and his personal guards.

Outside the southern gate of Donghu City, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians fled in a big way, which was even more lively than rushing to the market, but his soldiers and civilians were not calm, and they all had different moods.

Most of the people are panicking, leaving Donghu, they will lose all their land, and they don't know how to survive in the future, in fact, how to survive tonight is the biggest suspense in their hearts, they are behind the soldiers, only the soldiers of Donghu can give them a trace of comfort.

The Donghu soldiers were also shrouded in fear, and when they left the south city gate, they were like fish swimming in the sea and wolves walking in the grassland, and they suddenly recovered their original intentions.

The soldiers worked in groups of three or five, and even took the initiative to carry heavy objects for the people behind them, and even helped the women carry their children.

In the southeast corner of these soldiers, a group of seven or eight soldiers, while fleeing, kept looking back, and the outermost two soldiers, as they walked, talked about their thoughts.

"Brother, where are you going to flee?"

"When you leave Donghu, where is there a fixed place? Hey, take it one step at a time! ”

"Brother didn't think about the future?"

"Brothers......

"Hahaha......"

"What are your brothers' plans?"

"Brother, don't ask me first, tell me, what do you really like?"

"Brother...... Don't hide it from my brother, I fell in love with the old man behind me, although he is old, his clothes are bright, and the box in his hand is heavy, he should be ...... There should be a lot of yellow and white things. ”

"Brother has good eyesight, I thought my brother was a stuffy man."

"Tell me, what are your brothers' plans? Brother wouldn't be going to run away empty-handed, would he? ”

"Sure enough, it's a good brother, I know my brother," he turned his head slightly, pointing to the crowd of people staggering in the night, "See?" That's a rich merchant from our area, and told you, brother, don't fight with me. ”

"How can I move my brother's prey? But...... Since it's an acquaintance, how do you succeed? What if he remembers you? ”

"Silly, brother? This kind of thing, can it still leave a bane? ”

"Brother's Meaning ......"

"Now the war is in chaos, and the people are ...... dead"

"Brothers......

"Don't hide it from my brother, the reason why I stepped back is not only for him, but also for him, and there is a Jiao # Niang...... As soon as there is a chaotic situation, the brothers will ......"

"Ah...... Congratulations to my brother first, brother, I also hurried to look for one, the Ming army came in time, such a dark day, Jiao # Niang ...... who doesn't want money, when it comes to Jiao # Niang, my brother is about to drool. ”

"Then brother, go quickly, it's someone else's if it's late."

"The brother went first, and he came back to ......"

……

The sound of footsteps alarmed the Ming army outside the city.

Lu Yufeng's 58th Division has been lurking in a depression five miles outside the South City Gate, which is the last line of defense of the Ming army.

Lin Chengxiang's order to Lu Yufeng was not to let go of any Donghu soldiers, and now it was still very dark, and he couldn't tell whether it was a soldier or a civilian, and he had already issued an order: Don't let go of a Donghu person, if you dare to attack the position of the Ming army, you will be killed!

The people were one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the darkness added many elements of terror to their way of escape; Wu Yanzu, who was walking at the back of the line, thought that he had misjudged, "Isn't there an ambush of the Ming army outside the city?" Will the Ming army leave us a way to escape? ”

The happiest are the Donghu soldiers, as long as they leave the Donghu City, it is their world, "the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide with the fish jumping", the Han people said well.

It was still some time before dawn, and they had to look for more two-legged sheep.

They are grateful to the Ming army in their hearts, if there is no Ming army to attack the city, they will definitely not have such a chance, if only the Ming army came to Donghu earlier, they don't have to be the battlefield churner for all these years.

"Damn......" In the darkness, a Donghu soldier stroked the long scar on his face and cursed in a low voice.

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

"Boom...... Long ......"

……

The mountain artillery of the Ming army fired, the mountain artillery was small in size, light in weight, easy to carry, Lu Yufeng brought a total of ten mountain cannons, and the number of Donghu soldiers could not be seen clearly in the dark, so he fired a few cannons first.

The sound of artillery shattered the sweet dreams of the Donghu soldiers, even Wu Yanzu, they were stunned, and what was even more alarmed was the people of Donghu, who had just escaped from the Ming army's flintlock guns, and caught up with the Ming army's artillery.

The older people, with their children in tow, could no longer walk, so they could only sit on the ground in despair.

The Donghu soldiers at the front were stunned at first, but when they came to their senses, they fled to both sides, and it was impossible for the Ming army to set up an iron bucket array outside the entire southern city gate.

They have temporarily forgotten the money and coquettish # in the hands of the people, and in the face of death, everything is a burden.

The desperate people still clung to the Taungoo soldiers, who could not find a safe haven except their backs.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

The sound of flintlock pistols pushed the Donghu soldiers into the abyss of despair, and the Ming army left them no way to live!

After despair, the Donghu soldiers calmed down, since the Ming army didn't give them a way to live, then before they died, how could they pull a cushion, "Damn, fight with the Ming army!" ”

With the soldiers at the head, the soldiers behind followed, and they swooped down on the flank of the Ming army, hoping to break out of a path of hope, even if they could not break through, they would have to fight out a few Ming soldiers.

There was no officer command, no follow-up reinforcements, no accurate information from the Ming army, and no applause from the people.

A small group of Donghu soldiers, wielding their scimitars, rushed to the defensive positions of the Ming army without hesitation.

Maybe they knew that it was a moth throwing fire, but they had no way to retreat, and the Ming army did not give them a chance to escape.

In the darkness, the soldiers of the Ming army felt the shaking of the earth, and they could only use the faint light of the flintlock pistol to see the faint black shadow in front of them, and the bullets of the flintlock pistol were all aimed at the black shadow, so they didn't care whether it was a person or a Buddha on the other side.

"Ah......h

"Mom......"

"My Blood ......"

……

Hearing the human voice, the flintlock pistols of the Ming army shot more happily, and all the people who came were flesh and blood!

The soldiers who took the lead were dead, and the Donghu army that followed behind had no courage to attack, and the screams, shouts, and the strong smell of blood had already frightened their courage.

If there is no bird, the bird will flee in the other direction, and the Donghu soldiers have no choice but to retreat backwards when they see that there is no way ahead.

Just like the tide of the Qiantang River, once the tide head is blocked by the embankment in front, the tide will swoop back, and it will be more fierce than the coming.

When the Donghu soldiers retreated, they unscrupulously stepped on the bodies of the people, whether they were old people or children, as long as they could escape with their lives, everything was a stepping stone for them.

The screams of the people were choking the heavens and the earth, the voices were hoarse, and the aftermath was lingering.

Darkness, despair, flight, trampling, screaming, blood, outside the South City Gate, the Ming army and the soldiers of Donghu jointly performed a hell on earth, in the eighteenth layer of hell, that is, the people of Donghu.

"I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world!" The people of Donghu interpreted this Han Chinese proverb.
