Chapter 37: The Real Opponent

In the city of Luzhou, there is a Yuan Dynasty official who returned to Ning Province, surnamed Yu Mingque, who was born as a Jinshi in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, and the official went to Huaixi to comfort the deputy envoy, and divided the town of Anqing Road, heard the sound of killing at night, knew that the war was approaching, and hurriedly gathered the pro-soldier guards brought with Anqing, and rushed to the government to rescue.

Luzhou Daru Huachi farewell Timur fell to his death, most of the officials of the government fled or could not return in time at home, the rout was in the group of dragons without a leader, the most elite 3,000 soldiers in the Daru Huachi Mansion fell into a situation where there was no order, and the arrival of the officials who guarded the field in Yuque undoubtedly became their actual leaders.

Hao 13 only brought 3,200 people from Shouzhou, including more than 1,000 people from the former army's 1,000 households, more than 1,000 people from the Shan Jun Division, more than 1,000 people from the Jinren Red Horse Expedition, 1,000 people from the 1,000 households of the Left Army, 1,000 elite soldiers from the 1,000 households of the Chinese Army, and 150 of his own close guards, and 50 people from Jiaolu, the deputy of the 100 households of the craftsman battalion.

Wu Liuqi of the right army, because of the heavy casualties in the defense of Shouzhou, it was difficult to form combat effectiveness for a while, Hao 13 left the right army of thousands of households and the rest of the auxiliaries, and cooperated with Shi Mu Youcai, the governor of the governor's office, to stay in Shouzhou.

The Shouzhou Red Turban Army can be said to be the elite and poured out.

The total strength of Luzhou's defense is about 8,000 people, and the real combat effectiveness is only the 3,000 guards of Dalu Huachifu Ya, and the rest is only the newly recruited recruits after Luzhou was recovered by other Timurs, and the combat power is also equal to the combat power of the new army of the Red Turban Army.

Three thousand against eight thousand, Hao 13 only occupied the advantage of the surprise attack, and the enemy was caught off guard.

But Hao Shisan ignored one point, there is also the mass foundation laid by Zuo Junbi for him, and Zuo Junbi's undercover agent has already entered the city one step earlier.

Zuo Junbi has been in Luzhou for more than a year, but he can't resist the blow of the prime minister of Henan Jiangbei Province and quit Luzhou, but he planted most of the undercover agents in the city, just waiting for the day he came back to make preparations.

After the army conquered Luzhou, he left Timur and 3,000 elite soldiers to defend Luzhou, and led the army to Anqing to conquer the double sword Zhao Pusheng, Boya Yanyu father and son, and Liao Yongan brothers.

It was also the smooth fighting of the Anqing Campaign, driving the Red Turban Army such as Zhao Pusheng into the river, and Yu Que, the deputy envoy of Xuanwei who was sitting in Anqing, was able to return to the province on leave, and only then was someone ordered to lead the rout in the city.

Let's say that in the city, the undercover agent installed by Peng Yingyu's disciple Zuo Junbi was responsible for the unified dispatch by his younger brother Zuo Junen, and with the help of Mingjiao, he secretly organized the troops, and waited for Zuo Junbi's handsome army to come, and the inside and outside should be combined.

Zuo Junen did not receive the secret signal of the Red Turban Army, but he heard the rout on the street shouting for the Red Turban Army to enter the city, and knew that near Luzhou, there was no one else except the Red Turban Army of his brother Zuo Junbi's department.

He didn't care about much, so he took advantage of the opportunity to get rich by robbing and robbing, ordered a few houses of rich families, plundered and slaughtered, and then took Yiying to teach everyone and went straight to the mansion.

Only by virtue of military exploits can the crimes of massacre and looting be covered, which is called muffling and making a fortune. The course of the war was written by the victors, and when Luzhou was occupied, those people were not killed by him, but by the Mengyuan army.

Hao 13 led the Red Turban Army into three routes, Hao 13 and Tu Dan Jun soldiers divided into two roads, along the city wall to clear the enemy on the head of the city, Fu Youde Shuai headquarters of the people, responsible for capturing the treasury, and finally the three ways to join the division, will attack Daru Huachi Mansion Ya.

Hao Shisan, who was fighting at the head of the city, was fierce, and saw many fires in Luzhou City, crying and screaming all over the city, and secretly complained in his heart.

The defeated army burned the city and killed, plundered the property, and then fled, and finally killed people and set fires, because there was no way to investigate and deal with it, and in the end it was not resolved, and the bitter lord had no way to complain, but could only curse the later rulers, which brought trouble, and caused them to be slaughtered and plundered.

Hao Thirteen was unskilled and could not fight while helping the lonely widows, so he had to fight hard, hoping to clear the enemies at the head of the city as soon as possible, so that he could enter the city to calm the war.

Finally, Hao 13 cleared from the north gate to the south gate, and finally joined the south gate with Tu Danjun, and divided into several roads to gather at the Dalu Huachi Mansion.

In front of a burning mansion, Hao Shisanyi kicked open the door, and the scene in front of him was shocking.

The courtyard was covered with blood, and there were several civilian corpses lying on the sidelines, and several corpses were hanged on the lintel, swinging back and forth, and the tragic situation was outrageous.

"Who did this? Who did this? Hao 13 jumped to his feet angrily and shouted.

Several men with red scarves on their heads walked out of the house with their respective captures, and were surprised by the sudden arrival of a team of red scarf soldiers.

Obviously, they have occupied this house, who else does not know the rules and comes to rob the fruits of their victory? What they were holding in their arms was the spoils of the second marshal on the left.

Hao Shisan was also surprised, his head was wrapped in a red scarf, which was no different from the red turban army in Shouzhou. When did Fu Youde's army become like this? This was Hao Shisan's first feeling.

The courtyard was unusually quiet for a while.

"Which part are you from? Who are your leaders? Hao Thirteen asked in an angry manner.

"We are the personal soldiers under the second marshal on the left, which part of the brothers? What do you have for advice? A one-eyed man, shirtless and in a panic, walked out of the house with a haughty face.

This is...... What about your own home? Still sleeping here?

Suddenly, inside the house, a fair-skinned girl, disheveled, with blood at the corner of her mouth, rushed out, regardless of it, and threw herself directly into the old well in the courtyard.

Hao 13 ran to the mouth of the well, only pulling a piece of the woman's clothes, and the root of his teeth itched with hatred: "Tie it up for me!" ”

Tu Dan Hu received the order, kicked the one-eyed man to the ground with one kick, cut off his hands back, and the remaining accomplices were immediately driven by steel knives on their necks.

The one-eyed man panicked, it seemed that the people who came not only wanted to rob their spoils, but also wanted their lives, so he hurriedly used his shield: "We are the second handsome people on the left, you ...... You guys...... Can't kill me! ”

"What about you second handsome man on the left? Let him tell me in person! Hao Shisan's eyes seemed to be oozing blood.

"He led a team to attack the government!" In the face of power, the one-eyed man saw hope again, and said with a flattering smile.

Hao Shisan really wanted to see what this second handsome left looked like, and he actually connived at his subordinates to loot and hurt people, which was simply inhumane.

There was a commotion outside the door, and the man with a red scarf at the head of the brigade, like a yellow orangutan being chased by a dog, rushed towards Hao Shisan's side as if he was dead.

Needless to say, this is the rabble of Zuo Junen's attack on Daru Huachi's mansion, and was beaten by the elite of the three thousand defenders in the city led by Yu Que.

Hao Shisan's subordinates only had more than 100 of their own guards and two hundred-man teams of Li Datong and Liu Si, in order to prevent being scattered by the rout, they had to get out of the way, let go of the second handsome man on the left, and then 300 people, just in front of the burning mansion, strictly blocked the intersection, and four rows of pear flower gunners spewed out scorching flames.

Yu Que's official uniform was already covered with blood, and when he suddenly encountered strict resistance, he immediately stopped, and the shield soldiers formed a shield wall to protect Yu Que in the middle.

Yu Que looked at the mansion that had passed through the battle, and several guards comprehended the spirit of the general, and came out of the military formation, wanting to rescue the dead and wounded in the courtyard, but the ten-captain was meeting Zhang Thirty-one who came out of the door.

Zhang Thirty-one led a few people to salvage the woman who threw herself into the well, and after many twists and turns, only one dead body was fished out, so he escorted a few murderers out of the door, and happened to meet Yu Que who came to check the people's situation, and hurriedly went to draw the knife, pulled out half of it, but saw Hao Thirteen shaking his head at him.

The ten-man long knife was also half drawn, and seeing that Zhang Thirty-one had no intention of attacking, he cautiously held the handle of the knife and went in to check.

In a moment, the ten-captain came out of the courtyard, shook his head at Yu Que, and signaled that there was no longer any living mouth in the courtyard.

Zhang Thirty-one held a criminal, and also shook his head at Hao Thirteen, indicating that the woman who threw herself into the well was not saved.

Yu Que Yu Que watched Hao Shisan come out of this mansion, who else could he have done if he hadn't done it?

Yu Que raised his sword and mourned: "Even if the court has no way, what does it have to do with Li Min?" You and other rebels, slaughtering good people, the sin is unforgivable, and I will not share the sky with you. ”

Hao 13 shook his chest and saluted: "Since I, Hao 13, won Shouzhou, the people have commented that there are other gangsters who take advantage of the fire to rob Luzhou, not because the Thirteen Emperors are not strict." ”

"Liar!" Yu Que's hand holding the sword trembled and said: "It is said that the red scarf in the world is a family, and Hao Shisan and Zuo Junbi are just a raccoon dog." ”

"Lord Yu seems to be a good official who loves the people like a son, and Thirteen admires - Thirteen sees the thieves taking advantage of the fire to rob and burn everywhere, and the mood is probably the same as that of Lord Yu. Knowing that it is impossible for you to lay down your arms, now that the main force of the Yingzhou Red Turban Army has broken through Luzhou, for the sake of the people, Thirteen is eager to quell the riots in the city, I will let you go out of the city, even if you have family members who stay in the city, Thirteen will not harm them because they are different from you and other camps, if you want to go, you can go with peace of mind. ”

After that, Hao 13 commanded everyone to take over, flashed a big road, and let Yu Que's 3,000 men and horses pass.

Yu Que has 10,000 unwilling, the Red Turban Army kills and sets fire everywhere, I don't know how many enemy troops enter the city, if Zuo Junbi and Hao 13 join forces, his 3,000 temporary command of the army is not an opponent after all.

But who are those Red Turban soldiers who are bound? The war is not over yet, did Hao 13 attack his own people? If military discipline is rectified, there will be a bit of heroism.

Yu Que weighed in three, left the green mountains in, did not shoot and had no firewood, or it was important to protect the three thousand soldiers to break out of the encirclement, and he reached the ground with a long look: "I hope that this strong man will count when he speaks." "Lead the army out of the entanglement and rush out of the city quickly.

Hao Shisan had just let Yu Que out of the city, and Fu Youde and Tu Danjun's armies were all killed, Fu Youde was very puzzled and asked: "How can the chief manager let such a good general out of the city?" He will be a fierce enemy in the future! ”

"Even if we become a strong enemy in the future, that is a matter of the future, the poor are not chasing, the siege will be lacking, we have 3,000 people, they are only 3,000 people, the battle will start, the victory or defeat is not yet known, our purpose is to occupy the city, not to kill more people." Hao 13 explained.

"However, Zuo Junbi ambushed the soldiers in the city, and there are still troops in Feidong, maybe come back to rescue us?" Fu Youde still has a lot of puzzles.

In a word, it seemed to remind Hao Shisan that the corresponding Red Turban Army in the city was mostly Zuo Junbi's subordinates, and it was time to deal with the contradictions between the two Red Turban Army.

"Close the city gate, organize personnel to put out the fire, notify the Red Turban Army in the city to respond, arrive at Lu Huachi's mansion, prepare to receive the reward, and listen to the seal!" Hao 13 gritted his teeth and said.
