Chapter 362: Guangyuan City with one shot
When the independent brigade of the Fifth Army, scattered small units in teams, or even in units, scattered to various parts of the Nanjiang River, vigorously engaged in the division of land and fields, Zhao Sheng also led the main force of five regular soldiers, two auxiliary troops of about 2,500 people, the front of the troops pointed directly at Guangyuan City, ready to open the gate of northern Sichuan, and then as a rear base, and then attack Bazhou.

At this time, the Ming army also reacted, after all, the bandits reported from all over the country have emerged in endlessly, even if he is a fool, he knows that in the territory of Guangyuan Mansion, there is a large number of rogues, although I don't know where it came from, but he is there.
"Special mother. Yes, the big man said, if we do small, we have to break our legs, and give two hundred taels of silver, so we will ask our brothers to go out of the city to suppress bandits, this bandit is so easy to suppress? ”
About 600 people from the two thousand households who were mobilized by an official document from Longtan and Huyue and other offices, and the head of a mansion sent by Shangguan scolded and urged, and then marched to the area of Shahe.
It's just such a small army, the equipment is in tatters, and even a weapon in each person cannot be guaranteed, the firearm was built more than ten years ago, and even the military households that operate it are disgusted and afraid.
But there are still some guys who support the scene, the Ming army didn't know that from that fortress, two tiger squat cannons were dismantled, weighing forty or fifty catties, and Guangyuan Mansion temporarily allocated four donkeys, so they set off.
It's just that as soon as they left on the front foot, the main force of the independent brigade that advanced west from Hejinyi on the back foot appeared outside the city of Guangyuan Mansion, and the twenty artillery pieces lined up in a row scared everyone in the city enough.
Li Chungeng, the prefect of Guangyuan Mansion, was even more at a loss, when he got the news, and then hurriedly took more than 20 officials to the city tower, looking at the black pressure outside the city A piece of rogue who was cutting down trees to make siege equipment, he directly twitched his brain, and fainted on the city tower on the spot.
I found Langzhong again, and after a long pinch, I woke up slowly.
"Quickly order the army to return to the division and defend Guangyuan~!"
This is Li Chungeng's first roar after waking up, but unfortunately there are not many servants left by his side at the moment, and the wolf smoke lit on the battlements of the city head can be seen dozens of miles away, but now unless he is a fool, he will return to help.
"Zhao Chun, you take a capital from the headquarters, block the way for its escape to the south, and take all the armies by the way, Lu Shu'an, you take the third team of the headquarters to monitor the west gate, Chang Wenjian, you take a capital, guard against the north gate, and the rest of the departments will follow me to storm the east gate, lined up with artillery, bombarded violently, shouted a drum down, dare to retreat, kill without mercy!"
Under Zhao Sheng's murderous order, the entire independent brigade instantly unfolded all its forces, surrounding Guangyuan Mansion, although they only had 2,500 men and horses, but they played the power of tens of thousands of troops, and they didn't see Guangyuan Mansion as nothing.
"How to do it~!"
Li Chungeng stood at the head of the city, looking at the team that was arraying under the city to attack, and his heart was in a panic, Guangyuan Mansion belonged to the interior of Sichuan, and it was bordered by three important places in the north, and no one could fight here, although the garrison had as many as one guard, but it was scattered in four or five areas such as Shahe, and there were only two hundred households left in the city.
Now the defense of the city is all the young men who were temporarily mobilized and the officials in the county government, with a total of more than 400 people, but looking at the young men who trembled with knives, this really makes people feel bottomless, and they are afraid that they will not be hit by thieves, and it will be over.
"Master Li, let's run quickly, this thief is still carrying a cannon, obviously a large group of rogues, we are not opponents!"
As the saying goes, who doesn't want to live if they can't die? Compared to losing the city and being questioned by the imperial court, it is better than stabbing the head immediately, at least few people around Li Chungeng are willing to die with him.
"Run? Where are you going? ”
Li Chungeng simply wanted to cry without tears, how could he be so dignified, there was also a lot of trouble in Sichuan, and I hadn't heard of the rogue in the north, there were still cannons, such a sharp weapon for attacking the city, where did they get it?
"Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood~ My lord, let's go."
His servants don't care about that much now, haven't they seen the thieves outside the city start to set up cannons and prepare to attack the city, even if they can't escape the city, they can't stand at the head of the city and wait for death.
Half-push and half-on, Li Chungeng has no choice, let's run, after all, those who are willing to be loyal to the court in their hearts are all a minority, and you don't see the Tartars who entered the customs later, and the Han officials who surrendered to sincerity, among them, dared to resist to the end, and there was no one in ten who died in the country.
"Master Li is gone? What are we going to do? ”
A hundred households guarding the eastern city, looking at the more than two dozen people who were cowering behind him, his eyes suddenly rolled, and he invited the cronies around him to ask such an inquiry, and suddenly came up with an answer that he was dumbfounded.
"Baihu, Master Li doesn't care, let's still take care of a fart, when I see him coming, he won't give out a penny, let's run too, it's better than being a ghost under the knife."
Just kidding, there is no incentive for one or two silver, why do they ask these military households to guard the city, thinking about the past, it is not easy to call for silver, and then they are transferred to the city from outside, but over the years, they have not saved a few silver, they have called Shangguan to be greedy for ink, they are angry in their hearts, and they want to make them desperate,
Done! Give silver, give settling-in expenses, open appropriation fees, go into battle to kill the enemy and defend the city, you have to pay money first,
Of course, there are also times when you don't want money, that is, there are only three or five thieves who come, and it looks like it's easy to kill, so kill and take your head to the house to get a reward, and exchange it for two taels of silver for wine money, which is not bad!
But this black oppressive area outside, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, who is so stupid, who is willing to fight to the death.
"You all think so?"
These hundred households are also a person who understands, this thief has entered the city, and at most he robs and kills people everywhere, but if he hides it well, he may not be able to escape, but if he is defending the city, he will definitely die, and seeing that Li Chungeng has fled far away with his people, he asked the people around him loudly,
"Let's run, Baihu."
"Put your shit, Liu Mazi, your family is not in the city, you don't care, Baihu! Don't listen to him, our family is in the city, we can't run! ”
"Zhang Fangsheng, you gou sun, you are asking the brothers to die with you, we are poor haha, there is nothing at home, the thieves have come in, and they don't want to rob us, I'm very afraid!"
These military households, who have families in the city, naturally refuse in every way, but those who have nothing to worry about have no will to resist, after all, fighting will kill people.
"Okay, okay, you talk about it, there is no rule, then who, you, go down and ask, if we surrender, the thieves promise not to slaughter the city."
These 100 households are also single, anyway, he has no idea to fight, a fart, just the row of black pressed cannon ports under the city tower, a round down, these goods around him, have to run out, when the time comes to anger the thieves, it is not good to kill and retaliate, how can this be done, it is better to surrender as soon as possible.
"What? Open the door and surrender? ”
Zhao Sheng was completely confused, what is the situation? Back then, whether it was the troops entering Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi Province or the three sides of Shaanxi, there was no such good thing, which county did not have to resist fiercely before it was willing to open the door and surrender? Why is it still a city here, and it's ready to come out and surrender without fighting?
"Are you telling the truth?"
Zhao Sheng, who was worried about being fake, asked again uncertainly,
"Don't dare to deceive the king, there are few people in our city, and I heard that the king's subordinates are all good men, so we don't dare to fight."
The soldier who was selected was quite neat, although he was frightened by the strong man beside Zhao Sheng, but he could still say a few words,
"I think so."
Sun Ying, the supervisor who followed Zhao Sheng's side, pondered for a while, it was better not to fight, saving a limited number of cannons, and avoiding the casualties of the brothers, where to find such a good thing, but he was worried about fraud in the city, so he scared to come to humanity,
"Let you go back, after the sound of the three drums, open the city gate immediately, otherwise after the city is broken, it will take your life."
It's just a mouthful, and you have to be a real guy, so I ordered a nearby cannon to shoot directly at the city wall, and this cannon was really on the east gate wall battlement, and the iron nails that were fired flew to the ground, and immediately knocked the two unlucky guys to the ground.
Anyway, even if they don't surrender, they don't have the heart to defend it, and on the city wall, there is not even a single one who has a head.
"See, I have twenty cannons, and I have them directly close to the bombardment, and in a moment, I will let you have no bones left, and let you go back, and say that we are good men of faith and righteousness, and after entering the city, as long as we do not resist, we will not be guilty, but within a quarter of an hour, if we do not open the city gate, we will not be blamed for being ruthless."
"Good man, wait a while, I'll go back and tell the Lord Baihu immediately."
The people who came were also frightened, and when the cannon went off, it was really scared to death! So he rushed directly to the city with a thousand thanks, but this time, no one pulled him to continue to go up with the rope frame that put him down.
He screamed under the city again and again, which was frightened by the time limit of that quarter of an hour,
"Pull me up quickly, if the good man is angry, we won't be able to escape from the siege when the time comes!"
The people above waited for a while, and saw that there was no other movement, and the cannons under the city were no longer firing, so they poked their heads out in a panic, and heard the shouts from below and the thieves said that the city was not guilty, and they suddenly had no other way.
"Open the city gate and surrender, don't fight."
The hundred households guarding the city looked at the soldiers around them who were completely frightened, and could only sigh and stomp their feet, and ordered Kaicheng to surrender, just like that, the city gate creaked open, and Guangyuan City shot down, and there was no resistance......
