Chapter 268: Capture the City
More and more ropes were dropped from the city, and the soldiers of the Daishan Army climbed the city even faster. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the city wall, Chen Mingyang had already taken his men who had taken the lead to the city and walked along the city wall to the city tower.
Perhaps the Qing soldiers went out of the city and took away most of the soldiers by night attack, and there were no soldiers on duty on the city wall. There were less than 100 soldiers in the tower, and they were sleeping soundly.
Chen Mingyang did not alarm the Qing soldiers in the city tower, and asked Sha Qianlibu, who followed behind, to guard outside the city gate tower, and personally led people down to the city to open the city gate.
Now, the most important thing is to bring in the army from outside the city.
In the cave of the city gate, more than a dozen Qing soldiers were sitting against the wall and sleeping soundly, they had just sent away the army that had gone out of the city for night attack, and they were already sleepy. When the footsteps came down from the city wall, most of the Qing soldiers guarding the gate did not care.
"****, why don't you know how to stop. Before the sky dawns, what will you do in the city? The leader of the Qing soldiers guarding the city gate scolded in a daze, thinking that the Qing soldiers in the city gate tower had gone down to the city.
However, no one paid any attention to him, and the answer was a long, cold-glittering spear that pierced the heart.
In the midst of the pain, the leader suddenly came to his senses, his eyes wide open at the close sight of the enemy, but he could no longer make a sound.
"Up!" Chen Mingyang waved his hand, and his pikemen silently poured into the city gate hole, stabbing the spears in their hands at the sleeping Qing soldiers.
Most of the Qing soldiers died without pain in their dreams, because it was dark, and some people were not stabbed, so a scream rang out, and spread far and wide under the silent night sky.
Soon the screams stopped abruptly, and it was the pikemen of the Daishan Army who had refilled their guns. However, the screams still woke up many people, and the houses in the city were lit up one after another.
"Open the gates!" With Chen Mingyang's order, a dozen or so soldiers put down their spears, removed the huge deadbolt, and then pulled open the huge city gate in unison.
And the suspension bridge at the head of the city has already been put down by Sha Qianli, through the city gate hole, you can see the figure of the shadow outside the city, it is a thousand Zhoushan soldiers led by Huang Fengwu!
The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and Ren Siqi and Huang Fengwu immediately led the soldiers to the city gate and entered the city.
The city gate tower, the screams of the city woke up the Qing soldiers, and one of them sat up from the bed with a scolding and let a few of his subordinates go out to see what was going on.
When the Qing soldiers opened the wooden gate of the city gate tower, Sha Qianli led his men to fight into it and slaughtered the Qing soldiers who were not fully awake.
Seeing the sudden enemy, the boss screamed, pulled out the Pu knife at his waist, and when he wanted to step forward to fight, his legs trembled and he couldn't move his feet.
"Poof", "poof", "poof", the sound of spears piercing into the body rang out one after another, and the screams were endless.
Although there were fifty or sixty Qing soldiers in the city gate tower, they had just woken up from their dreams and couldn't even touch their weapons, so how could they launch a rebellion?
The enemies who came in from outside were too cruel, and one by one they stabbed with spears in silence and without hesitation.
"Don't kill me, I surrender!" Seeing an enemy with a spear coldly pressing towards him, the sword, which could no longer maintain its composure, fell to its knees with a pop, and threw away the steel knife in his hand.
In the same way, the other Qing soldiers also reacted, and surrendered on their knees one by one. They used to be ruffians and hooligans, and they followed Ke Yongsheng to occupy Jiaozhou a few months ago, and then they were reduced to the Qing Dynasty by Yi Zhi. Ke Yongsheng became the commander-in-chief of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they followed the rising tide. Take this as a general, he used to be just Ke Yongsheng's follower, but now he has actually achieved the general!
But even if they become Qing soldiers, they are more good at bullying the people than one another, and when it comes to fighting, one is more sparse than the other.
"Gather your weapons and tie them all up!" For such an enemy, he really couldn't arouse his interest in fighting, so Sha Qianli ordered his subordinates to tie them all up and do it later.
"How?" Ren Siqi and Huang Fengwu led people to the city.
"Kill or surrender, no one slips through the net!" Sha Qianli reported excitedly.
Ren Siqi nodded approvingly.
"The remaining two city gates, Feng Wu will take people to take them!" Ren Siqi turned around and said to Huang Fengwu.
The three city gates of Jiaozhou are now only occupied in the east city, and there are two city gates in the south and west cities.
Huang Fengwu nodded, and personally led the troops along the city wall to kill the southern city.
Ren Siqi ordered his subordinates to re-pull the drawbridge and close the city gate.
More than half an hour later, news came one after another, Huang Fengwu had successfully occupied the two southwest gates, and Jin Yufei and Ren Likun outside the city also led troops into the city.
In this way, Jiaozhou was occupied almost bloodlessly, and most of the people in the city were still asleep and did not know that the city had changed owners.
Taking advantage of the dark sky, Ren Siqi successively ordered to send troops to attack the Jiaozhou Prefecture and occupy the official treasury. As long as they enter the state government and capture the officials sent by the Qing court, Jiaozhou City will no longer have the power to resist.
Through the interrogation of the captured general, Ren Siqi had a detailed understanding of the strength of Jiaozhou.
There are more than 2,000 soldiers in the entire Jiaozhou City, all of whom are under the command of the chief soldier Ke Yongsheng. When he learned that a Ming army came by boat in the east of the city, Ke Yongsheng decided to attack the Ming army at night, and took 2,000 Qing soldiers out of the city at the third watch. The rest of the soldiers were sent to defend the city walls.
However, the most elite soldiers who could fight were all taken away by Ke Yongsheng, leaving only a few hundred old and weak soldiers, and almost all of them were wiped out by the Ming army without blood. Of course, Ke Yongsheng didn't expect that the Ming army would attack and steal the city at night like him.
Standing at the head of the city, looking in the direction of the camp, I saw a huge fire burning, burning half of the sky.
Presumably the camp has been captured by Ke Yongsheng, when he sees the empty camp, I wonder what Ke Yongsheng will think?
Thinking of this, Ren Siqi showed a faint smile on his face.
"What do we do next?" Huang Fengwu stood beside Ren Siqi, looked at the burning camp ten miles away in the east, and asked softly.
I didn't expect to occupy the enemy's city so easily, although I didn't say it, Huang Fengwu still admired Ren Siqi's decision, and couldn't help but ask about the next step.
Although the city was occupied, there were still 2,000 Qing soldiers outside the city, and if they could not be destroyed, there would be many troubles in the future.
"What's next? Wait for dawn, of course. Ren Siqi looked up at the night, there was still less than half an hour before dawn.
"Feng Wu, there is still a while before dawn, should we find a room to have a good chat and relax." Looking at Huang Fengwu's upright figure under the faint starlight, Ren Siqi couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, leaned closer and whispered in her ear.
"Okay." Huang Fengwu agreed in a greasy voice, but before Ren Siqi could be surprised, a sharp pain came from his lower abdomen, but he was punched hard by Huang Fengwu! (To be continued.) )
