Chapter 395: Datong is in turmoil, and the cavalry attacks
"Steward Zhang, let's go into the city, should we go straight to the Governor's Palace, or will we occupy the four gates first and join the Qin army?" Lu Chengyou asked suspiciously,
"The Governor's Yamen can control the soldiers and horses in the city, there are about three or four thousand people, and secretly, I don't know if there are other soldiers, we only have a thousand people here, if you go straight to the Governor's Mansion and lose the city gate, I am afraid that you may not be able to fight, but will suffer a siege, the Qin army can not reinforce it, then it will be difficult to do, I mean, occupy the west gate first, the general will lead the troops to the south gate, cooperate with the Qin army to guard the gate, welcome the cavalry into the city, and then it will be enough. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zhang Yuntai is not very good at this kind of military affairs, but he knows that there are too few people to defeat many people, and now there are so many Qin troops outside the city, and after they converge, they will become more people.
"Just over there?" Lu Chengyou doesn't care how to fight, he is afraid that the governor yamen dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, which will directly be unfavorable to Zhang Tinggong.
"I'm afraid, the more fierce we fight outside, the safer the governor will be, do as I want, first let the Qin army enter the city in a big way, and then attack the governor's yamen." Zhang Yuntai was able to hold it, and Zhang Tinggong explained to him before he entered the governor's yamen, as long as the Qin army entered the city, the Ming court would have no fun.
"Okay, I see I'm almost at the city gate, please let me go and hand over to the Qin army first." Lu Chengyou thought about it for a while, then he stepped forward and rushed to the city gate with a few guards.
"Hey, what are these Governor Battalions doing in the city?" The tiger winged soldiers and horses guarding the gate, seeing the approaching army, suddenly a little nervous, the general on the city tower quickly ordered to sound the gong and drum of the warning, and then in the military camp near the city gate, a whole team was assembled, and hundreds of people went up to the city wall, and the city gate was closed without mentioning.
"What do you do? No entry into the city without an order! A sentry stationed outside failed to retreat to the city in time, and the remaining three soldiers, led by a chief, walked over to the soldiers and horses of the governor's battalion and asked,
"I am the general of the Governor Biaoying under the command of Governor Zhang, early this morning, the governor of the city put the governor under house arrest, and also sent people to accept our military power, I am afraid that it is to cause chaos, I will follow the military orders of the King of Qin and the governor to enter the city to cooperate with the Qin army to suppress the thieves." Lu Chengyou got off the horse and explained directly to these little soldiers with a pleasant face.
Since he had made up his mind to join the Qin army, he naturally wouldn't care about such small sections.
"What?!" When Nashi Chang heard this, he was immediately shocked, pointed at Lu Chengyou, wanted to say it but didn't know where to start, and then looked at the army behind him that was stagnant, so he stomped his feet and said,
"Don't go any further here, I'll report on my team."
After saying that, he ordered the three soldiers to keep watch in place and run back by himself.
"Team rate, it's me! Xing Laosan, opposite is the governor of the city's standard camp, led by a general, saying that the governor of the city rebelled, and they entered the city to quell the rebellion on the military orders of the king of Qin and the governor! "When the chief ran all the way to the gate of the city, he shouted at the soldiers on the wall.
"Third child, I know it's you, what are you talking about? They entered the city to quell the rebellion?! A team leader at the head of the city asked strangely, and then asked the soldiers around him, "Have we received a military order from His Royal Highness King Qin?" ”
"I didn't see it," those little soldiers knew something, and they all quickly shook their heads,
"Third child, you go back and tell them that we haven't received a military order, let them go back, don't approach the city gate, otherwise I will order the cannons." The duty of the team leader is to guard the west gate and be responsible for early warning, and behind him, there is still a full number of troops as a reserve, outside the city and near Datong, there are tens of thousands of Qin troops, he is not worried that the opposite side dares to come indiscriminately.
"Herald, hurry up, take this news to the city to find Fang Yingzheng, be fast, I'm always thinking about something going to happen~!" But he also has a heart, this kind of thing of leading troops to enter the city without an order is not trivial, and if it is not good, the officials and soldiers in the city will make trouble, but he can't figure out which Ming army is going to make trouble, so he should leave it to the top to worry.
"Wu Shi, what do you take with you, go to the Ming army camp in the city to have a look, see if there is any movement in them, go quickly, as soon as there is an abnormal situation, come back immediately to report! Everyone else don't practice, all take weapons to the city to be on guard, by the way, push the tiger squat cannon up to me, ready to fight at any time, hurry~! "Anyway, according to the response plan formulated for them by the above, this team began to order the soldiers to prepare for battle.
"Yes, what's this called, there are so many people on the other side, there are only four of them, how can I block it?" Xing Laosan shook his head and came back in annoyance, but on the way, he figured it out, we are the invincible Qin army, and the Ming army may not dare to touch his own.
So he walked up to Lu Chengyou, and said with a tiger face, "My team led the adults to say, our task is to hold the city gate, and no one is allowed to enter without a military order, so you should hurry back to the camp, so as not to cause misunderstanding." ”
"This?" Lu Chengyou hesitated for a moment, but quickly said, "Please bring your army a little, and I'll go back and discuss it with my family's housekeeper." ”
As he spoke, he patted the horse back, and Xing Laosan, who was watching, was a little stunned, this is the general of the Ming army? In exchange for their Qin army, they are also at the level of a battalion, so easy to speak?
"Butler, the Qin army didn't get the military order and refused to open the city gate, what should I do?" Lu Chengyou is in a hurry, if he waited for the governor in the city to suddenly make a move, they didn't enter the city, they were afraid that if they would fight, Zhang Tinggong's life might not be saved.
"You send someone to the Qin army camp in the south of the city to urge, I will take the seal and letter of the governor and find a way to go into the city and tell the generals of the Qin army face to face, you must firmly control this army, this is the only chance to soothe your life." Zhang Yuntai was also in a hurry, but he would rather take the risk of going into the city to tell the generals of the Qin army in person, and strive to enlarge the army to enter the city as soon as possible to protect the city gate.
"I'm afraid that Qin Jun won't believe it." Lu Chengyou was anxious, this made it clear that there was no evidence, at best, in the eyes of the Qin army, this was the personal contradiction between the governor and the governor, although it caused the army, but there was no need for the Qin army to get involved.
How can you not believe? As long as we can find Wei Shugui, the prefect of Datong, we can prove that our governor is already a member of the Qin army! Hugh has to say more, I will go into the city at once, and the life and death of Enfu will be decided here. Zhang Yuntai made up his mind, so he took the letter and seal alone, and went directly to the horse.
Lu Chengyou looked at it from behind, and could only sigh secretly, and then went to order people to continue to report to the Qin army camp in the south of the city without mentioning it.
"I am the chief butler of the Governor of Datong, Zhang Tinggong, the Governor of Zhang's family, this is the seal and letter of the Governor of my family, which is enough to prove the loyalty of my Lord to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please take this general into the city quickly, I want to meet the prefect of Datong, Uncle Wei Guiwei, he is enough to prove all this!" Zhang Yuntai said with a pleasant face, his expression was also very respectful, after all, at the moment, such a young general of the Qin army could help him.
"The governor's butler? Don't dare, please come with me, my lord, I'll talk to you and see if I can let you into the city. Xing Laosan was embarrassed by this warm greeting, the governor's housekeeper, what a big official, he has only seen his own governor from afar in his life.
"Xing Laosan, why are you back again? Why hasn't the horse retreated? "The rate of the defending team is also confused, this back and forth toss, retreat and not retreat, come and not come, what is this for?
"Team rate, this is the housekeeper of the governor's house in the city, saying that there is something important to enter the city to meet the prefect, why don't you put a cradle down and pick him up?" Just one person is around, how much wind and waves can it set off? Xing Laosan checked his paperwork and didn't dare to slack off after confirming his identity.
"Is it really the butler of the governor's house?" The team leader was a little confused, but he knew that he couldn't afford to offend this person, the governor, what a big official, if he delayed his business, the boss would definitely be held accountable, so he beckoned people to put down the hanging basket, and pulled Zhang Yuntai up in a leisurely manner.
"Thank you for this general, I am going to see the prefect immediately, this is the governor's seal and letter I am holding, it is enough to show that the governor has been strictly ordered by the imperial court, ready to attack the Qin army in the city, now my governor has been taken by the governor, before leaving, let me break through, go to take charge of the governor's standard camp, just now we beheaded the lieutenant general of the governor's yamen, they are afraid that they are really rebelling, and please beware of them to rob the city gate."
As soon as Zhang Yuntai got on the city wall, he saluted the team leader, and then said quickly,
"What? The Governor rebelled? "The team leader was shocked when he heard this, how is this, it is actually good, the governor of the city rebelled? This spearhead must be coming at him!
So he asked him for the governor's seal and letters, and although he could not read them, after all, there were literate people in the army, and when he called him to look at them, he confirmed that the facts were correct.
"This gang of thieves, really ate the gall of the leopard, they dared to attack us, come, they are all on guard for me, any soldiers in the city who dare to storm the city gate will be shot and killed by me," the team was angry, but they almost didn't eat people, and directly waved their hands to order their subordinates to start turning the muzzle of the cannon to aim at the city,
"In the third row, escort this housekeeper to the prefect's yamen immediately, and whoever dares to make a mistake along the way will be beheaded by me!"
"Yes!"
"Light the emergency beacon smoke, summon all parties, the Ming army in the city wants to rebel, hurry up~!" When he watched his subordinates send Zhang Yuntai away, the team couldn't wait to order the left and right to start acting.
Soon, on the wall of the West City, three wisps of wolf smoke representing the most urgent were quickly ignited, and the billowing black smoke could be seen even from dozens of miles away.
"The wolf smoke during the war in Xicheng must have gone wrong, general, what should we do?"
The communication of the Qin army is strictly regulated, this kind of three thick wisps of wolf smoke, that is, the west gate where it is located has been attacked by the enemy, after the other departments receive the news, they must send effective troops to reinforce quickly while investigating clearly, so the camp in the south of the city quickly moved,
The second brigade of the cavalry army was no one else, it was Chen Mingquan who led the army north to fight the Tartars and won the victory in the defense of Shanyin.
"The city was originally garrisoned by our army and the Ming army, but the city gate has always been in our hands, come! The first battalion and the first will set off immediately, firmly control the south gate for me, and kill me no matter who comes to rob the city! ”
"Yes!"
"The brigade leader, the people from the West Gate, are the soldiers and horses of the standard battalion of the governor of the city, and they have brought a message that the governor Yamen has rebelled, and the governor himself has been detained, and is now lurking in the dark, preparing to control the whole city." Just as he was about to continue to give the command, a soldier came running to report the news.
"What about people? Bring it up immediately, and the rest of the armies will not move for the time being, as long as the city gate is in our hands, we will not be afraid of anything. The more Chen Mingquan reached the critical moment, the more calm he became, so he waved his hand and ordered the person who reported the news to come in.
"Master Qin Jun, this is a secret letter sent by my housekeeper, my little mouth is stupid, I don't know what to say, it's just that the governor has rebelled and detained the governor of my family." The cronies who sent the letter saw that all the armies in the camp were on guard, and the soldiers were strong and strong, which was very scary, so they were a little frightened and couldn't explain it clearly, but fortunately, there was a letter, so they handed it over.
"Good dog guts~! It's really looking for death! Come, order the first battalion to complete the army, immediately set off from outside the city to Xicheng, first give me the military power to take over the governor's standard battalion, and then let the Ximen defenders open the city gate and enter the city together, but all the Ming army will take it, and those who dare to resist will be killed! Chen Mingquan looked at the letter, and then contacted the letter sent by Zheng Jianjun before, and understood everything in his heart.
So he slammed the table and got up angrily,
"The second battalion, the second capital, and the third capital entered the city from the south gate, first control the north gate and the east gate for me, and not allow a single Ming army to enter and exit, there is no reckless movement, and there is no mercy!"
"The second battalion and the first capital, disperse into the city with a team, converge the tiger wing army in the city, immediately unfold, and surround all the Ming army barracks and yamen everywhere, the third battalion, immediately set off with me, detour to the east gate, and directly surround the Ming army camp outside the city, and all the armies set off immediately!"
After Chen Mingquan said this, he ordered people to also light a beacon smoke in the south of the city to warn, so for a while, all the Qin troops near the entire Datong Mansion City received the warning, and all the way to the border area, but arrived before the cavalry who sent the order, so the border in the close to the Mongols and Xuanfu Town, all the battalions were on alert, and sent people to Datong to investigate the news.
In Yingzhou and other places in the interior, another town of the Tiger Wing Army immediately sent two main battalions and the only cavalry battalion, and immediately set off north for reinforcements, and this news was also transmitted through the smoke all the way, and after more than an hour, it was directly reported to Taiyuan, and Datong was in chaos!
There were cavalrymen everywhere who passed messages back and forth, but no one knew what was wrong in Datong Town, so that the highest level of wolf smoke was lit. (To be continued.) )
