Chapter 217: A Miracle
August 20th, the hour of the hour. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the official road outside the city of Dengzhou Mansion, strands of yellow dust rose up, Wu Fanhui, who was standing on the city wall, calmly watched all this, below the city gate, more than 2,000 soldiers were ready, and they were about to rush out to fight.
Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others automatically sent information, the rebels were defeated in Huangxian County, heavy losses, this time the casualties reached the point of breaking the bones, the first batch of about 2,000 rebel sergeants, is rapidly coming in the direction of Dengzhou City, it seems that Dengzhou City is the last fortress of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming and others.
Wu Fanhui's almost perfect arrangement, so that the news that the imperial army occupied Dengzhou Mansion and Penglai Water City has always been strictly confidential, and the rebel sergeants who entered Dengzhou Mansion City the day before yesterday and yesterday to report the news were almost all killed, and they brought a steady stream of news, including how the imperial army attacked, how sharp it was, etc., including how the rebels were defeated, and even the rebel sergeants surrendered.
Huangxian had already been lost, Geng Zhongming led two thousand rebel sergeants to quickly evacuate in the direction of Dengzhou Mansion, and Kong Youde led the rest of the soldiers to evacuate in the direction of Dengzhou Mansion.
These pieces of information were all sent to Li Jiuru, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming would not tell lies, because there was no need, Kong Youde also said in the letter that the guards of Dengzhou Capital City and Penglai Water City must be strengthened, this is the last fortress of the rebels.
The letter was written by the strategists around Kong Youde, it should have been dictated by Kong Youde, and the meaning was very clear, which also made Wu Fanhui quickly understand all the circumstances, and his determination was even firmer, so he let the more than 2,000 soldiers who had just returned to the city in Dengzhou Mansion go out of the city to fight, both sides were more than 2,000 people, if the soldiers of Guishun fought hard, Geng Zhongming was caught off guard, he must have been defeated, and let more than 2,000 people help guard the city, Wu Fanhui is really not at ease.
The 800 sergeants led by Wu Sangui and Liu Fangheng are guarding Penglai Water City, so there are only 1,500 sergeants stationed in Dengzhou City, and there are more than 2,000 rebels, and there is a huge disparity in strength.
One hundred steps has already taken ninety-nine steps, and he must not fail in the last step, Wu Fanhui needs absolute safety.
For Wu Fanhui's arrangement, Zu Dabi and others did not understand very well, what they were worried about was that after these sergeants left the city, they would immediately defect to the rebels, which would make the rebels stronger.
Wu Fanhui did not explain, he made a decision.
The south gate opened, and more than 2,000 sergeants, led by a garrison, walked out of the city gate and lined up in front, Wu Fanhui did not even send anyone around him to command the battle, nor did he send Chen Guangfu to command the battle.
This situation, in the eyes of the surrendered sergeants, including Zu Dabi and others, is complete trust, but unfortunately Wu Fanhui does not think so, when more than 2,000 sergeants are all lined up outside the city gate, he let out a long breath, and he is finally barely safe, although there are more than 8,000 family members in the barracks.
The Hongyi cannons on the city walls, including the Furlong machine, were fully prepared, and once the more than 2,000 sergeants joined the rebels again, then the artillery would be fired.
Wu Fanhui believes that Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming have no way out, and the rest is a dead end.
But Wu Fanhui is not too sure, that is, whether Zhu Dadian received the information sent by the scouts, two days have passed, Zhu Dadian must have either received the information, or the five scouts sent out, they were not able to avoid the rebels, all of them sacrificed their lives, but one thing is certain, that is, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming did not know the news of the fall of Dengzhou Mansion City and Penglai Water City, just before more than 2,000 soldiers walked out of the south gate, there were two rebel scouts who entered the city to send information, this information was written by Geng Zhongming, asking the sergeants in the city to make all preparations and welcome the evacuated sergeants into the city.
Wu Fanhui is a person who crosses, but also a typical realist, he does not have so much righteousness, so far he has done a lot of things, is to lay the foundation for the future, this Wu Fanhui will not change, even if it is developed and strengthened in the future, he will not change this way of thinking, no matter what dynasty he lives in, or a little more realistic, the so-called life and death between the readers, the so-called like-mindedness, in Wu Fanhui's view, it is all based on a certain foundation, if he does not have the slightest ability, Then rejection is inevitable.
The people living at the bottom of the ladder have suffered so many famines, and countless people have starved to death, as if no one has pity on them.
Wu Fanhui knows very well that this society is very realistic, you are really strong, you can control everything, you can really stand up, of course, treat people sincerely, use people without suspicion, this is also Wu Fanhui's point of view, he will treat every friend he makes sincerely, but if this person betrays, then Wu Fanhui will also be revenged.
Don't talk so much about the truth on the lips, the so-called impeachment system of the Ming Dynasty, so many things and imperial history, they did not really appeal for the people, but fell into the party struggle, became a tool used by a certain party, these people are also one of the reasons for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.
Wu Fanhui, who was holding a monocular, saw the rebels rolling in, and all of them were cavalry.
The soldiers who went out of the city to meet the battle were all foot soldiers, of which 600 were armed with firearms, the rest were armed with long-handled eyebrow sharp knives, and some even carried Yanling knives, and the best way for foot soldiers to deal with cavalry was to line up with spears.
Wu Fanhui's face became grim, and he felt faintly guilty in his heart, after all, it was more than 2,000 lives, and if they were allowed to deal with the cavalry like this, wouldn't they be looking for death, wouldn't they force them to join the rebels again.
The rebels can flee towards Zhifu and other places, or they can flee towards Laiyang and other places, so that they can hold out longer, but with the loss of Dengzhou Capital City and Penglai Water City, and the loss of a large number of supplies and grain and grass, the rebels will soon collapse, because there are not many places in Denglai that can be plundered.
Finally, the figure of the cavalry appeared not far from the city of Dengzhou.
These cavalry did not stop, and when they saw the troops lined up in front of them, they did not stop either, and they probably thought that these sergeants were lined up to welcome them into the capital city of Dengzhou.
The clothing of the rebels is the same, it is also the military uniform of the Ming army, and after they occupied the capital city of Dengzhou, they obtained a large number of military uniforms, so they wore military uniforms.
It's just that the sergeants in the queue have white strips of cloth sewn on their right arms, which looks very conspicuous, which is the only difference between them and the rebels.
"Boom, boom, boom...
Six hundred firearms were fired at the same time, and the cavalry charging in front fell screaming, they could never have dreamed of encountering the attack of their own people.
"Rush..."
"Kill...
A torrent rushed towards the rebels.
Wu Fanhui on the city wall was dumbfounded, at this moment the more than 2,000 surrendered sergeants in his eyes seemed to have turned into steel warriors, they were fearless, and rushed to the cavalry opposite, no one hesitated, knowing that the other party was cavalry, they still rushed to the front, how much courage it should take.
Zu Dabi's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
The importance of political and ideological work has been proved by history hundreds of years later, but what Wu Fanhui didn't expect was that he was just scolding Li Jiuru to death in the lobby of the government office, and he was able to produce such a huge effect, so that these sergeants rushed to their former comrades-in-arms without hesitation, without hesitation, and without fear of death.
The rebel sergeants who went to Dengzhou Mansion City, they didn't expect this scene at all, their team was very dense, and when they saw Dengzhou Mansion, everyone wanted to enter the city earlier, so it would be safe, because the team was too dense, and the previous firecracker had already caused heavy losses to the sergeant who charged in front, and the war horse in front of him, seeing the sergeant who was charging over, was also turning his head and charging towards the rear, which led to the collision between the war horses, and the sergeant on horseback was naturally the worst, falling to the ground, The struggle will not appear, and it will be killed directly.
Geng Zhongming, who commanded the evacuation of the sergeants to Dengzhou Mansion, was in the middle of the team, and this scene made his mind blank, not to say how fierce the sergeant's attack was, but that Dengzhou Mansions had been lost, not to mention Penglai Water City, what this meant, it meant that they were cornered, and what they were waiting for was the fate of being completely wiped out.
When the battle began, Geng Zhongming made a very stupid decision, he ordered some of the sergeants to resist, and the rest of the sergeants all evacuated in the direction of Huangxian.
Geng Zhongming lost his soul, and the rebel sergeants under his command were even more heartbroken, you must know that the officers among these sergeants, their families are all in Dengzhou Mansion, and the wealth they plundered is also in Dengzhou Mansion, and the fall of Dengzhou Mansions means that they have lost everything, they have nothing, and there are still a large number of imperial armies behind them.
I don't know who shouted out the words of the imperial court, maybe it was the attacking sergeant, or maybe it was the rebel sergeant who was scattered, the cavalry team was chaotic in an instant, and some people began to turn their guns and attack Geng Zhongming and others in the middle, cooperating with the infantry who charged over.
Geng Zhongming didn't dare to have any extravagant hopes at this moment, he was under the escort of his own soldiers, and he desperately headed in the direction of Huangxian, as for the sergeants under his command, he couldn't care so much.
。。。
Wu Fanhui on the city wall, clearly saw this scene, this can be described as a defeat like a mountain, it is said that two thousand foot soldiers, by no means the opponent of two thousand cavalry, the fight should be a one-sided situation, but among the rebels, there are actually people who defect, and the number is increasing.
Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are completely finished.
