Hankou Water Village was successfully attacked by Zheng's army at night, and none of the more than 1,000 Qinglu battalion troops escaped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

successfully won the water village, and Zheng Jiajun's striker did not stay long. After leaving 500 people to guard it, he hurried towards the town of Hankou, which was twelve miles away.

It is necessary to sneak attack when the city gate is just open at dawn and the Qing army is unprepared, so as to reduce the losses of our army as much as possible.

In order to successfully capture the city gate, Zheng Jiajun gathered all the war horses and handed them over to the forwards to use.

The hooves of the three thousand horses were covered with cotton cloth, and the mouths of the horses were bitten with sticks.

Under the leadership of Zhou Quanbin, he went to Hankou Town.

The north gate of Hankou Town slowly opened, and the merchants, chaifu, and others who had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time suddenly rushed up, all wanting to sell their goods as soon as possible.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw this, they immediately forced them back with spears, and shouted: "Line up one by one, don't mess up, whoever dares to make trouble, don't blame Lao Tzu, I'm welcome!" ”

As the soldiers scolded and scolded, the merchants and chaifu lined up in a long line, waiting to pay the poll tax to enter the city.

Hankou City, inside the Flower Building.

After a night of tossing, those singers and subordinates were tired and stayed in the room to sleep.

Chen Liuyu, who was sleeping with a woman in a green building in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing a strange cat meow.

He didn't alarm the Qingguan beside him, and got up from the bed gently.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a full of soldiers standing outside the room.

Chen Liuyu said softly: "Do according to the plan!" ”

The soldiers who were standing heard the order, walked out of the flower building in a hurry, and ran towards their goal.

The north gate of Hankou, the noise of the city gate, plus the soldiers were busy collecting taxes, and by the way extorted some copper coins and goods.

The soldiers defending the city did not even hear the sound of galloping horses on the ground.

It wasn't until the three thousand war horses were about to kill at the city gate that the shaking ground made the soldiers and people at the city gate notice that something was abnormal.

They turned their heads and saw countless horses galloping towards them.

The Qing army in Hankou Town has not reacted for a while, where is the cavalry? Why didn't I hear from the general that there would be an army coming over today.

While some of the soldiers were considering whether or not to rule their own generals, some clever soldiers had already discovered that the banner of this group of cavalry was not the Qing army, and the banner fluttering in the wind said "Zheng" and "Zhou".

These soldiers couldn't help but shout loudly: "The enemy is attacking, it's the Zheng family's army!" ”

This shout made the soldiers and people at the city gate suddenly wake up.

There was chaos at the city gate, and all kinds of shouts and cries for help rang out.

There are also many soldiers and civilians who still don't know what happened, and are asking their companions.

"Quick, quick...... Be sure to kill the enemy cavalry to get the money and close the city gates! The Qing army in charge of the city gate roared.

Where can the Qing soldiers care about collecting money, throwing all the stools and chairs outside the city, hurriedly running into the city, pushing the heavy city gate and slowly closing.

Seeing that the city gate was about to be managed, the people at the city gate immediately panicked.

"Master Jun, don't close it, let me in. Wait, let me in first! ”

The Zheng family's army has been killed at the city gate, and if they don't enter the city again, they are still at the city gate, but they are afraid that they will be trampled to death directly by these iron horses.

The people who were far away from the city gate hurried to the sides of the city wall, and the farther away from the city was the better.

Although Zheng Jiajun's reputation is very good, there is no mercy on the battlefield.

Once a war starts, sacrificing a few people for victory is not a big deal at all!

Seeing the people outside the city rushing to enter, it seriously hindered the closing of the city gates.

Baihu hurriedly ordered, "Close the city gate quickly, whoever stands in the way will be killed!" ”

Hearing Baihu's order, more than a dozen soldiers hurriedly stabbed to death those civilians who wanted to break in with the iron guns in their hands.

Zhou Quanbin saw that the Qing army was about to close the city gate, and with a wave of his hand, the cavalry at the head hurriedly took out the muskets that had already been loaded with ammunition and buckled them.

There was a crackling sound, and hundreds of bullets instantly knocked down more than a dozen or twenty ordinary Qing troops.

The already chaotic city gate was even more chaotic, the people rushed to enter the city, and the Qing army desperately wanted to close the gate.

Before the door was closed, the cavalry of the Zheng family army had already arrived.

This is not the time to talk about mercy, Zhou Quanbin has no mercy, and the three thousand cavalry did not slow down, and rushed towards the city gate at full speed.

Outside the city gate, nearly a hundred people disappeared into the iron stream in the blink of an eye, and then the city gate, which had been closed, was smashed open by the iron horsemen.

The carbine was put away, and the saber was the most effective weapon for harvesting human lives at this time.

The extremely sharp sabers in the hands of the cavalry brigade slashed the lives of Qing soldiers, and each time it was raised, it could bring up a splash of blood.

The defenders who remained in Hankou were all deflated soldiers or newly recruited soldiers, who were opponents of the elite Zheng cavalry brigade.

In the face of this unstoppable onslaught, the Qing army was unable to fight back, and the number of casualties rose sharply.

As soon as they entered the city, the cavalry immediately cut off the two thick ropes of the drawbridge and the iron chains of the jacks of the city gates.

controlled the city gate, and Zhou Quanbin drank continuously: "Send a signal quickly!" ”

The arrows shot up with a sharp whistle, and after a while, there was an explosion, and colorful patterns appeared in the sky.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army, who had been waiting in the city for a long time, heard the signal, took out the fire fold, and threw it into the match thatch.

After a short time, the fire spread, and the main hall of the Hankou Yamen was burned.

The yamen in Hankou were all on fire, but not a single official was seen running out to put out the fire.

Zhi smelled a strong smell of blood.

Soon, fires broke out in more than a dozen places in the city of Hankow.

There were hundreds of "Qing soldiers" running around the city, and they shouted loudly as they ran: "Oh no, it's on fire, put out the fire!" ”

Hearing the fire, countless people ran out of their homes in panic, rushed to tell each other, and fetched water to extinguish the fire.

While the people were putting out the fires.

These "Qing soldiers" shouted again, "The Zheng family army is coming, and the magistrate has fled!" ”

"The Zheng family army has captured Hunan, and the Qing Dynasty is over."

"The Qing army was defeated by the Zheng army, let's surrender!"

……

The fire broke out, and the Zheng family army was killed...... When the people heard the news, they panicked for a while.

Under the chaos of the "Qing soldiers", the whole of Hankou fell into chaos.

Ma Wencai, the magistrate of Hankou, hadn't gotten up at this time, and he was sleeping sweetly with his concubine in his arms.

Suddenly, the butler knocked on the door again and again and shouted, "The master is not good, there is a fire in the city!" ”

slept soundly, and suddenly woke up, Ma Wencai immediately scolded loudly, "Damn slave, if you have a fire, you will take care of Lao Tzu's shit, and ask me to take a few servants to deal with it." ”

"Sir, there are fires in several places in the city."

"Then call a few more people, do you need me to teach this?" Marven shouted impatiently.

Marven had just finished scolding and wanted to continue sleeping, when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle and a commotion outside the door.

Marven was on fire, and when he just called his subordinates to punish those who made noise and troublemakers, suddenly a soldier broke in directly, panting and shouting: "My lord, it's not good, the Zheng family army is here!" ”

As soon as Ma Wencai heard that Zheng Jiajun was coming, he jumped up from the bed, "What? How so, why didn't I hear anything about it. What do those spies do? ”

When the housekeeper heard that Zheng Jiajun was coming, he also panicked. "Master, this is not the time to talk about this, run away!"

"Yes, yes, take the fine silver, let's run!" Zhixian Ma Wencai said busily.

As soon as Marven grabbed his clothes, he took the housekeeper and a few henchmen, tied up fine silver and wanted to escape from the city.

As for those wives and concubines, Marven had thought about bringing them at all.

In the escape for life, these women are the most troublesome and will only become a burden.

As long as Lao Tzu lives, why not have a wife!

Hankou Qing Army Water Village, "General, the signal is here!" One of the guards shouted loudly.

"Let's go!" Zheng Chenggong heard a big wave of his hand.

Hearing the order, the Zhengjia battleship that had just arrived at the river beach was put down, and the Zheng Jiajun, a 70,000-strong army, walked ashore on the wooden plank and marched rapidly towards Hankou. (To be continued.) )
