Chapter 398: The Ming Army Camp at the East Gate surrenders
"Fools will continue to fight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "A soldier who was fleeing lost even his weapon, and when he heard this, he cursed in his heart, but ran faster.
"Don't let any of them go, kill them~!" Entering the city was a whole advance cavalry numbering three or four hundred, each wielding a heavy hammer and a saber in his hand, very majestic, one of the team leaders, looking at the Qin soldiers and horses who fell in a pool of blood, and immediately issued a command to the commander under his command.
"Kill, but whoever refuses to surrender, kill them all, and don't leave a single one." Seeing that their own reinforcements had arrived, the team that originally defended the city was now full of anger and began to chase and kill the soldiers who fled from the Ming army.
Entering the city from the south gate, it was a cavalry capital, and then there were soldiers and horses entering from the south gate, in terms of total strength, the Qin army had occupied an absolute advantage, but what made the ordinary people afraid was that the killing did not stop there, but intensified, and there were such terrifying fighting sounds and roars everywhere in the city.
"Order someone to inform all the people and horses in Xicheng to enter the city, the governor standard battalion, after ordering them to enter the city, they are only responsible for maintaining stability in Xicheng, do not enter the main city, and the rest of the people, according to the prior arrangement, act quickly, you take the first capital with me, directly surround the governor's yamen, and capture Xiong Wencan alive!" The second battalion of the second brigade of the cavalry corps normally wenzhong entered the city directly with his men and horses, in addition to ordering the second and third capitals to quickly move to the two city gates in the northeast.
He first left only one team of the first capital and a remnant of the original Tiger Wing Army to guard the south gate, and then mixed the second battalion reserve capital at hand with the remaining two hundred horsemen of the first battalion and one capital, divided into five roads, each with a size of about 100 people, and then began to attack the main roads in the city, and he himself led the second battalion and the first capital to attack the governor's yamen.
"Surround the Governor's Mansion and capture Xiong Wencan alive!" The cavalry below cheered and shouted, this year, with such military exploits to be taken, who is not happy? So one by one, the fighting spirit exploded, and they wanted to rush into the governor's palace immediately and hang the governor appointed by the Ming court.
……
"What? Our garrison in the South City has been attacked? Come on, give me some troops and horses to get out of the camp and fight me back! "A lieutenant stationed in the south of the city was originally a little worried, after all, the smoke in the west city began, he began to order his subordinates to find out the news, and also ordered the remaining team in the battalion to start assembling, and now when he heard this, he immediately became angry,
Without saying a word, he immediately went out into the street with this group of men, and marched rapidly towards the south gate, but it was a pity that no matter how fast he was, he was not as fast as the cavalry with four hooves, and he was only halfway through when he met his own cavalry that was rushing all over the city.
"Don't go to the south gate, come with us to control the governor's yamen." Chang Wenzhong led the army halfway, and happened to meet this infantry army, and was immediately overjoyed, you must know that cavalry is precious, let these people get off the horse and fight with the family of the governor's mansion, if you don't do it well, you will lose a lot, but you can't take the credit, so it's best to bring the infantry army together!
"Whoa!" The captain of the leading army immediately nodded in order, and then ordered the team to turn, and followed the cavalry towards the governor's yamen.
In the case that the structure cannot be preserved, whether it is a cavalry army or an infantry army, whether it is the first army or the third army, as long as it encounters it, the general with the highest position on the battlefield at that time will be responsible for commanding it, and the rest of the people must carry it out unless they have a death order, otherwise they must obey unconditionally.
Therefore, this cavalry of more than 400 people, with more than 100 foot soldiers, came directly to the governor's yamen, defeated dozens of Ming troops who blocked the attack along the way, captured more than ten people, and the front of the army was unstoppable!
"Pass the order, all the units of the Qin army that stay in the city, all go out of the camp, send the highest signal, quickly!" Zheng Jianjun knew that it was bad as early as when the first cannon sound sounded in the city, but fortunately, the staff bureau of the Qin army with the army was not a dry meal, they had already set up a charter to deal with this kind of sudden attack by the Ming army, and the army also practiced it.
So the Qin army troops who received the order quickly gathered in line to report the group, so that it was not easy to be broken by the Ming army, and after waiting for the horses to gather in place, the Qin army began to block the streets and establish a defensive line to block the possible onslaught of the Ming army, but after confirming the absolute safety of the city gate, they began to advance to the city one after another, and there was no large-scale resistance along the way.
After all, now the Ming army has almost collapsed, except for the 200 men and horses of the Governor's Standard Battalion firmly controlled by the Governor Yamen and the elite of Wang Pu's 1200 Beijing Battalion, but now, the Ming army and the Beijing Battalion outside the East Gate are roughly on the verge of collapse, because in front of them are 1,500 fully armed cavalry, and there are also Qin troops defending the city to rescue.
"This general, is there some misunderstanding? Why do you want to see each other? Zheng Guodong was completely stupid, he led the 800 men and horses of his headquarters into the Ming army camp in Dongcheng, preparing to converge the elite of the Beijing camp of 1,200 people, and then enter the city in one fell swoop after nightfall, but now, before he set off, he was surrounded by the cavalry of the Qin army.
"Hmph, don't say more, I was ordered by the king of Qin to come to beg for a thief, if you are captured, you can still be killed, but if you are stubborn, you will be left on the ground." Chen Mingquan saw that someone from the camp came out to shout, so he sent a general to approach and shout loudly.
"What? Was it sent by the King of Qin to beg for thieves? General, what should I do? "Miao Youcai is very frightened now, the male army in front of him is not something they can fight at all, if they want to run, they can run away, after all, Zheng Guodong has 200 cavalry under his command, and this Beijing battalion of soldiers and horses is a full cavalry lineup at all, but it's a pity that they dare to run?
"Look at this situation, Qin Jun has been prepared for a long time, but there is no excuse to attack us, this time the Governor Meng Lang is it, it's not good, we have to finish all the games." Zheng Guodong said something with affection, and then shouted outside the camp,
"We are all working hard for the imperial court, why bother to force each other, and ask the general to send troops to retreat, we just don't come out of the camp."
Anyway, how else can this battle be fought? From the early warning of the Qin army, it can be known that Xiong Wencan is estimated to be more than lucky, and the Beijing battalion led by Wang Pu, if they are allowed to enter the city to maintain order, it is okay to say, but let them go into battle to kill the enemy, Wang Pu must come up and personally command, after all, most of these are his family members and personal guards, and the rest are indiscriminate.
They know the strength of the Qin army in Datong Town, but they are not as optimistic as Xiong Wencan, this is not a fight at all, anyway, at this point, Zheng Guodong is not afraid, because secretly, he is not a good person like Miao Wencai and Feng Ju of the Governor's Mansion.
"How can the general say such a bad thing? If you don't fight, I'll fight, come, the soldiers of the Beijing battalion will come immediately, go out of the city to defeat the enemy in front of them, and then go into the city. Miao Wencai is the deputy general who Xiong Wencan personally raised, An Neng sat back and watched his survival regardless of it, so he loudly ordered troops to prepare for battle, but Zheng Guodong glanced at him slightly, and the soldiers around him immediately hugged him with knives, and immediately cut down the guards around Miao Wencai to the ground, and tied Miao Wencai up.
"You fool, dare to send thousands of my brothers to death? Annoyed the opponent, you have to tell me to die together, come on! tied him up and gave it to Master Qin Jun on the other side. "Zheng Guodong can be regarded as a horizontal heart, and after taking Miao Wencai, he has mastered 2,000 soldiers and horses, so if he surrenders to sincerity, the good and bad feelings are heavier, and the Qin army will not treat him badly, right?
Anyway, in life, you have to think about yourself, he has been a soldier for so many years, and it is not easy to get into such a position, if Xiong Wencan's plan is successful, he will not have to stick to the city and wait for foreign aid, but Xiong Wencan was defeated at the beginning and did not return the opportunity, so why should he die together?
"This guard is also a wonderful person, pass the order, the third battalion will not move, do not attack, do not go, do not fight, just monitor like this, if the general is willing to personally go out of the camp to surrender, we will accept him, if you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, then wait for the city to finish fighting, and clean him up." Chen Mingquan looked at Miao Wencai, who was escorted out by several small soldiers, and immediately smiled after hearing his identity.
"General, don't hesitate, you have pressed out the adjutant general of the Governor's Palace, and our brothers are not willing to fight, since you have started, let's go out and surrender together." Xie Junan, the general of the Beijing camp, came up worriedly and persuaded him, in exchange for him just now, he had to directly split Miao Wencai with a knife, and such a bad person still wanted to take them out to die?
But now that Zheng Guodong is taking the lead, they are also happy, anyway, looking at the Qin army, there is no possibility of failure, take refuge in the past, maybe they can mix up some credit, but they are not allowed to eat empty salaries, and the privileges of many generals are gone, but this is better than losing their lives.
Don't look at the soldiers and horses of this Beijing battalion are all near the capital, but most of them are strong men who have been captured, and they can't talk about any loyalty to the imperial court.
"General, when the interruption continues, you will suffer from the chaos, you have come to this point, if you don't go out, you still want to continue to guard, maybe there are a few people in this camp who are loyal to the court, and when the time comes, get up and make a mess, this camp is in chaos, and the opposite side will come in and we go out to surrender by ourselves, and the treatment will be different." Another guard under Zheng Guodong couldn't help but speak.
"Open the camp gate and surrender~!" It was this sentence from his own family that made Zheng Guodong, who was originally hesitant, make up his mind all of a sudden! (To be continued.) )
