Chapter 146: United
All the manpower on Yue Su's side combined, there can be more than 500 people, but the people of the Dragon Slaying Gang do have 1,500 people, and the strength is quite different, but fortunately, the three rounds of muskets in front of them came down and knocked over the three hundred, which made the strength of the two sides a little closer.
Hun Sen saw that all the musketeers on the roof jumped down and fled to the flower hall, and immediately ordered his men to organize an attack on the gun array.
The defensive gun array is very powerful and extremely difficult to crack, and the soldiers are all well-trained, and they are not afraid to face the rebels who rush up, especially the Governor is behind him, fighting side by side with them, so the soldiers are even more courageous.
The rebels on the opposite side are outnumbered, and Hun Sen has issued a huge bounty, which is also a hundred times more courageous. But the war depends not only on the number of people, but also on the courage, this is not a street fight, a reckless confrontation, the opponent is the regular army. 1,200 people, it is impossible to pull up in one breath, the people in the back can't line up at all, and the people in front almost go up and fall one by one. Your knife slashes at the shield and cannot pose a threat to the opponent, but the spear behind the shield, with a stab from the handle, can immediately stab you into a sugar gourd.
Hun Sen saw that the signs were wrong, and he was anxious, how many people would have to die if he continued to fight like this. However, he is also a great general, and after a little thought, he came up with an idea. Yue Su can take advantage of the geographical advantage, and I can also order, "The people in the back, give me a room and throw it into the gun array with the roof tiles!" ”
This idea is very good, and the minions who can't rush to the front of the gun line in the back all climb to the roof of the two compartments. But the wings on both sides are also close and far away from the gun array, and they are also close to each other. in order to throw the roof tile into the gun array.
The roof tile smashed in, it was indeed a headache, and the gun array was originally flawless, but it was good, and many people's heads were smashed.
Yue Su took a look. The situation is not good, and if you keep it like this, your men will not be able to hold on for a while, so they will have to give the order to charge forward. The shield-bearers in the first row of the gun array drew their steel knives and rushed forward with their shields, while the pikemen behind them came out from one side. Flat-ended spears, charging towards the enemy. Rebel for a while. was caught off guard, and those who stood in front fell one after another.
These are all subjects that are usually trained, and they can cope with various situations. Hun Sen was overjoyed when he saw that the officers and soldiers had changed from defense to offense, and he was not afraid of the officers and soldiers rushing out. What he was afraid of was that the officers and soldiers would not move, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to meet him and fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.
The two sides soon fought together and fought in one group. Even so, the officers and soldiers were able to keep five people standing together, forming a small formation, and strangling the enemy.
The courtyard was chaotic, and the shouts of killing were endless. In this way, the rebels on the roof will have no use, they have no bows and arrows. The fire gun that I picked up was just a fire gun. One has no fire, the other has no lead bullet, and there is no knife to use. Throw the tiles down again. The two parties are intertwined, and it is easy to get injured by mistake, so forget it. So, I had to jump down again and join the warband.
The fighting between the two sides became more and more intense, and the battle began at the time of the hour and continued until the hour of the day. At the beginning of the melee, Yue Su's protectors did not suffer losses, and they could still take advantage of them, but the further they fought, the advantage in the number of rebels was reflected. You must know that the rebels are in the back, and if there are old people who can't stand the gang, if one dies in the front, one can be added later. The officers and soldiers died one, and there was no one to replenish, and the formation combination of five people dispersed.
The battle continued, which meant that Yue Su's soldiers and horses belonged to the elite, and if they were replaced by other troops, they would have almost ended. The rebels have now lost another 200 dead, and Yue Su's side has also died more than 100, and it is estimated that if the fight continues, the proportion of casualties will be changed.
The fighting inside was in full swing, and no one noticed that two hundred people had sneaked into the governor's wish. This group of people are all wearing black robes, very similar to the fans of Dongchang, but this group of people is not from Dongchang, but a few have worked in Dongchang. The leader is Tian Ergeng, he was ordered by Wei Zhongxian to come to reinforce Yue Su, Wei Gonggong has been the governor for several years, and his family has really saved a lot.
Tian Ergeng and the others came in through the side door, and after they came in, they first sent a sentry to investigate inside, and the rear team slowly advanced. The shouts of killing are so loud that you can find a place to fight with your eyes closed. The sentry soon came back and reported the battle situation to Tian Ergeng, "Young master, there are many rebels inside, and it is estimated that by noon, Lord Yue will be wiped out." ”
"Got it." Tian Ergeng nodded and said, "Wait a little longer, my father-in-law said that the time that Lord Yue agreed with him is three quarters of the hour, and now it is just the middle of the hour, and it is expected that Lord Yue will hold on for another three quarters of an hour, and there should be no problem at all." There is a room here, let's wait in the first room, so as not to leak the traces, and when the time comes, we will go over to help Lord Yue. ”
"Yes." The men under him agreed, and followed Tian Ergeng into the house on the side.
In a large mansion not too far from the governor's office.
In the flower hall of this house, there sat a middle-aged man who thought he could be forty years old, the middle-aged man had no beard, but his face was majestic. This person is none other than Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal. At this time, a young man ran in and knelt down on one knee when he came closer, "Father-in-law Qi, there are traitors who have killed the governor of Lord Yue, and there are many rebels, the total number of which is about fourteen or five hundred. ”
"So many people." Cao Huachun listened to the report, couldn't help but stand up, frowned, and said: "Remember last time, there were only five or six hundred people around Yue Su, so many rebels, can he handle it?" ”
"The subordinates think it's enough, and the subordinates have already ordered someone to sneak around, and they will bring back the news inside." The man said.
"Well, then let's wait." Cao Huachun nodded, and then said, "Gather all our people." ”
"Father-in-law, what are you ......?" the man asked puzzled.
"Don't ask, do what you have to do." Cao Huachun said in a deep voice.
"Yes, father-in-law." The man hurried out and did what he had to do.
Cao Huachun didn't bring too many people to Huzhou this time, but only brought more than 100 elites from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, after all, he didn't come to see the scenery. There is also a mission to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Yue Su. Yue Su was surrounded by guards, and there were few people with him, so where was it enough, so Gonggong Cao brought so many people. Having said that, as Grandpa Cao. After running such a long way, there are no less guards around you.
The man went out to gather people, Cao Huachun sat back in the chair, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea. Thinking about his current situation, his task is to investigate whether Yue Su has the intention of rebelling, and if the evidence is conclusive, he will assassinate Yue Su in private. Judging from the current situation. There is no evidence of Yue Su's rebellion, but now Yue Su is besieged by rebels. The adults are loyal to the emperor. When you encounter such a thing, you should watch and help each other, but there are so many traitors, if you go, will your own people be enough? But if you don't go, wouldn't it be tantamount to sitting back and watching Lord Yue die.
I thought about it for a long time. At this time, the man who had just gone out to gather his men walked in, and beside him, there was also a young man. The two of them first knelt on the ground to salute. "Father-in-law, the men and horses have been assembled, and the people who inquired from the governor's yamen have also returned."
"What's going on inside?" Cao Huachun asked.
"Father-in-law's words......" replied the young man, "Lord Yue seems to have been prepared, and laid an ambush on the wall, and when he came up, he dealt a head-on blow to the rebels. However, there are many traitors, and now that the two sides have entered a melee, after a while, Lord Yue is afraid that he will not be able to resist. ”
"Oh......" Cao Huachun let out a long breath. said: "I understand, no wonder Yue Su wants to transfer the soldiers and horses guarding the yamen. It turned out that he wanted to use his body as bait to lure the rebels out. But the strength of this traitor is too great. Lord Yue shouldn't have estimated it. He is also doing things for the emperor, and everyone should support each other, pass on the orders of our family, go to the governor, and help Yue Su. ”
"Father-in-law, there are thousands of traitors, we only have so many people on hand, I'm afraid it's ...... It's a drop in the bucket...... Besides...... Our task is not to ......," the man said cautiously.
"Humph!" Cao Huachun snorted coldly, stood up, and said: "Our family is not afraid, what are you afraid of, since we have served the emperor, we should do our best." While speaking, Cao Huachun walked towards the outside of the hall, arrived at the door of the Dehua Hall, and said loudly: "No need to talk nonsense, here is still what our family says, send troops!" ”
He is the palm print eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, naturally he has the final say, the man under his command, where dare to say more, climbed up with the young man, and followed Cao Huachun to lead a group of imperial horse guards to the governor's line.
Coincidentally, they also walked through the side door, which happened to be the place where Tian Erplough had just passed by. Tian Ergeng and them are still hiding in the wing, waiting for time, Cao Huachun's passing just attracted Tian Ergeng's attention.
Cao Huachun's men and horses did not stop, and walked directly inside, and after the people were gone, a man in black in the house asked in a low voice: "Young Master, what is the origin of this group of people, do you say that it is Lord Yue's helper, or is it a thief?" ”
Tian Ergeng's expression was solemn at the moment, because he knew Cao Huachun, he had seen it back then, although it had been so many years, but the eunuch was easier to recognize after all. Tian Ergeng said puzzledly: "He is Cao Huachun, I heard my father-in-law say that he was ordered to come to Huzhou, what did he do when he went to the governor's line at this juncture?" Is it also here to help Lord Yue? ”
"It seems that Lord Yue's popularity is not bad, and the people in the palace have also come to help him." The black-robed man said cautiously.
"But when they come, we're going to be in trouble, Cao Huachun should know me, if I come forward, he will immediately guess that the stepfather is here, and then realize that Lord Yue and his father-in-law have something to do with it, which is not good for both the father-in-law and Lord Yue." Tian Ergeng shook his head and said.
"There's no problem with that, young master, if you don't come forward in person. When the time came, the brothers went over to help, and Cao Huachun didn't know what we were doing. The black-robed man said.
"That's fine, by the way, our original plan was to report the name of the East Factory, but now we don't need it." Tian Ergeng said.
"The little one understands."
Tian Ergeng recognized Cao Huachun here and told his subordinates not to reveal their identities, so as not to make Cao Huachun suspicious. And at this moment, Cao Huachun had already rushed to the Zhongjin compound with the good hands of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. With a wave of his hand, his men went straight in.
Don't look at the fact that there are only about 100 people, but the Imperial Horse Supervisor manages the forbidden army, and what Cao Huachun brought this time are all the top players in the forbidden army, I don't know how many times stronger than ordinary soldiers. These people suddenly killed, which really made the rebels take a position, especially Cao Huachun also instructed his subordinates, as soon as they moved, they shouted loudly, "The forbidden army of the Imperial Horse Prison is coming to reinforce, Lord Yue, don't panic!" ”
This voice was quite terrifying, which shocked the rebels, and many people panicked. Hun Sen was also surprised, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, no wonder Yue Su was so calm, it turned out that he had another killing move, and united with the forbidden army of the Imperial Horse Prison to come to help, which is terrible.
Although the rebels were big for a while, the people brought by Hun Sen this time were all the main forces of the Dragon Slaying Gang, and they were not afraid of death, and forcibly blocked this wave of impact, and soon found that there were not many enemies, and there were only a hundred.
Immediately, someone shouted, "Don't be afraid of them, it's just a bluff, and that's just a hundred people, brothers, fight with them!" ”
Now more than half of Yue Su's men have been killed and wounded, and the traitors are not much stronger, and there are still 800 people left. With Cao Huachun's reinforcements, no matter how many people there are, it can also boost a lot of morale. The two sides fell into a battle to the death again, and as time passed little by little, it seemed like it was three moments.
Cao Huachun is standing at the side door of the flower hall compound, with only a dozen guards around him, watching the battle carefully, looking at the situation in front of him, even if the enemy is outnumbered, it is not too much of a loss, but it is estimated that it will not be long before the rebels will have the upper hand, I only hope that Lord Yue will have a backup move.
Just thinking about it, Hou Zhao really came, and when Cao Huachun was wearing it, there was a sudden sound of miscellaneous footsteps, and it seemed that many people rushed over. Cao Huachun's guards were shocked, but now, they couldn't go anywhere, but Cao Huachun was obviously calm and calm, and said lightly: "Don't be nervous, if my guess is right, this should be Lord Yue's reinforcements have arrived, let's get out of the way and let them in." After speaking, Cao Huachun took the initiative to get out of the way.
Soon, a group of black-robed people rushed over, and they knew that this was also a helper, so they didn't pay attention to it at all and rushed directly into the courtyard. The original plan was that after entering the hospital, he shouted loudly that Dongchang would come to reinforce him, but now because of Cao Huachun, in case of extraneous branches, he shouted instead, "Lord Yue, don't panic, reinforcements are coming!" Kill! ”
It can be said that if this is shouted at Dongchang, it is estimated that the rebels will be frightened and angry, and they will be able to set it immediately. But without shouting so, the rebels could barely support it. The previous situation was four hundred against eight hundred, plus Wei Zhongxian's two hundred people, it immediately became six hundred against eight hundred, and the balance of victory and defeat was balanced in an instant.
The most important thing is that Lord Yue's subordinates, the people of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Wei Zhongxian's subordinates are all elite, and their level of refinement has all surpassed that of the rebels of the Dragon Slaying Gang. It is estimated that this advantage in the number of people will be found soon. By that time, the Dragon Slayer Gang will definitely be defeated.
