Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly went downstairs. Xie Sheng hurriedly ran over to report: "The master who killed the sword just now should be Sanada Kenmasa, but unfortunately the three masters only killed one, ran away, and one didn't show up at all, and I don't know if Li Qin is dead." Do you want to search the fire? ”
"It's too late." Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "It's burned like this, and the defenders of the city should arrive if they want to pretend to be stupid." This battle has annihilated the main forces of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, so it doesn't matter if you get away with a few. Put away the Japanese devil's sword, Zhenyan's family has a grudge against him, give the knife to Zhenyan, and her revenge will be avenged. Let's retreat as planned! ”
As he was talking, sure enough, there was a loud killing in the city, and Gao Jie's brigade had already rushed into the streets in a chaotic manner, intending to block the retreat of the Qin soldiers.
The Qin soldiers had already prepared for this, and more than 1,000 soldiers immediately formed a large rectangular formation, protecting Zhu Youzhen, Qi Meifeng and others in the heart, and then marched in a neat queue to the south city gate. As long as someone dares to block, whether it is infantry or cavalry, immediately there are several volleys of volleys.
Most of Gao Jie's subordinates were born as thieves, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong. But recently, a lot of recruits have been recruited, and the overall strength has been greatly reduced. And they have never seen such an opponent, they don't use swords, guns, bows and arrows, they use dense birds to open the way, people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha! As soon as some of the reckless recruits rushed forward, they were immediately beaten on their backs and fell in pieces, and there was not even a single one who could save their lives and be defeated. The rest were already a little timid, but at this time, they were even more soulless, desperately burrowing into the dark alleys to avoid the rows of death bullets that came over.
The Qin soldiers did not love to fight, and only covered Zhu Youzhen and others to kill directly towards the south city gate. Here Xie Sheng ambushed 200 ambush soldiers, and as soon as the city started, Liu Quanzhong, the commander of a battalion, took the defenders by surprise and took the city gate soldiers bloodlessly. At this time, seeing the arrival of the large group of people, Liu Quanzhong immediately opened the city gate, and the Qin soldiers passed in an orderly manner with neat steps, as if they were marching in formation.
It was only at this time that Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, under the escort of Gao Jie and other generals, rode a war horse to the palace of the eunuch who had been burned to ruins.
Gao Jie was originally drinking flower wine in Qinglou, and when he got the news of the attack in the city and hurriedly gathered some troops, more than half of the Qin soldiers' brigade had already driven out of the city, and his own men and horses did not know how much they had lost in the chaotic battle. Gao Jie was furious, and just wanted to lead his troops to chase after him, but Hong Chengchou said with a cold face: "General Gao, poor Kou Mo chase." Let's think about how to deal with the aftermath! ”
Gao Jie knew that Hong Chengchou was not on good terms with Li Qin, and seeing that he was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry to chase the enemy, he had already understood six or seven points in his heart.
Since he surrendered to the official army, he has not been used much, until he met Hong Chengchou, and it was not time to operate. Not only did he move to Xi'an, he had enough money and food, but he was also promoted to deputy commander-in-chief at the recommendation of Hong Chengchou, and his strength was five times better than when he broke into the camp.
Gao Jie is not stupid, he naturally knows that all this is due to Hong Chengchou, and it can be said that Hong Chengchou is his reinvented father. Therefore, he had already formed a sworn alliance with Hong Chengchou, and even the soldiers and horses under his command were renamed "Hong Bing". At this time, seeing Hong Chengchou speak, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The last general is under the orders of the governor!" ”
"First of all, there must be no chase." Hong Chengchou squinted his eyes and looked in the direction where the Qin soldiers were far away and said, "This army is only more than a thousand people, but it has such a strong combat effectiveness, especially the use of firearms, and it razed the eunuch's mansion to the ground in less than half an hour." This is no ordinary rogue! And since they dared to break into Xi'an with such a small number of troops, who would dare to say that there were no ambushes outside the city? General Gao, this Governor's Court dares to assert that if you go out of the city to pursue, you will be more than lucky. ”
Gao Jie was immediately shocked into a cold sweat and chattered. Hong Chengchou smiled with satisfaction, pursed his lips and continued: "Secondly, the Eunuch's Mansion has fallen, and Li Qin's life and death are unknown, but most of them died in the sea of fire. He was sent by the celebrant and was Wei Zhongxian's celebrity, and even the Governor's Court had to be controlled by him. It doesn't matter if he dies, but General Gao, as a general defending the city, has to bear some responsibility. Now that the eunuchs in the court are in charge, maybe there will be traitors who will impeach the generals and use the generals as scapegoats! Once the locks are taken into Beijing, the general will not be able to use his ability to reach the sky. ”
"Your Excellency the Governor, save me!" Gao Jie was said by Hong Chengchou with cold sweat on his forehead, "The last general has been dedicated to his duties since he returned to the imperial court, and he has made great contributions..."
"Do you have a lot of credit for Yue Fei and Yu Qian? He was still killed by the emperor. Hong Chengchou said angrily, "In the emperor's place, your thousand credits are not worth a single mistake." What's more, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian only knows how to get power, and he simply ignores us border ministers and generals! The victory is the credit of the prison army and the eunuchs, but we have to be held responsible for the defeat. General Gao, haven't you figured it out? ”
"I'm a thief!" Gao Jie had already been a thief, but when he was provoked by Hong Chengchou, he was immediately furious, and scolded, "These traitors don't even have eggs, how can they decide the life and death of us!" Your Excellency the Governor, what should you do? ”
"It's very simple, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." Hong Chengchou smiled strangely, "The general can immediately order the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and go out of the city with the Governor's Court to chase the enemy." But we are not really chasing, as long as we enter the Qinling Mountains, even if the imperial court sends Jinyi Guards to send a decree to arrest people, they can't even find people, how can they arrest them? The general is not considered to be resistant, he just needs to wait for the situation to change, and it is not too late to slowly maneuver. ”
Gao Jie was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself, isn't this tantamount to rebellion! Under the banner of the official army and doing the work of thieves, is there anything more cool in the world!
He was about to receive the order to mobilize the army and horses, Hong Chengchou sneered and said: "General Gao, have you found out, this army only attacked the town guard eunuch's mansion, but did not attack other places in the city. If it was a thief, would he do it? ”
Gao Jie was stunned for a moment, and Hong Chengchou shouted: "Chinese officer, give this Governor's Court a fold!" It is said that tens of thousands of thieves suddenly attacked Xi'an, unfortunately the city was broken, the thieves plundered, and the eunuch Li Qin was martyred. Fortunately, thanks to the orders of the three armies, the deputy commander-in-chief Gao Jie led the army to defeat the thieves, and now the Governor's House is pursuing the thieves with General Gao, and there will be good news in the near future. "Just go on the horse.
Gao Jie suddenly realized, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Your Excellency Governor is really clever, no matter what happens, just detain all the basins on the head of the thief!" Come on, the whole army is dispatched, give me a random robbery tonight! Tianming immediately opened and followed General Ben to 'suppress thieves', and let the Xi'an prefect clean up this mess! ”
