Chapter 798: Take it
April 16, Changping City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Changping City is thirty miles away from Juyong Guancheng, mainly to guard the Jingling, and also to guard Juyongguan. Changping was originally a county, Jingtai built Yong'an City in the east of the city in the first year, and soon built a new city in the south of Yong'an City, a total of ten miles and 24 steps in the week, the government office and so on moved in, the original county seat was slowly deserted.
During the Zhengde period, the administrative office has been upgraded to a state in Changping in Yong'an City, and the general army, deputy general soldier, soldier Beidao, and eunuchs guarding the tomb have become the important place of Juyongguan and Jingling.
After the thieves fell into Beijing, Liu Zeqing and others attacked Changping Prefecture in the west, and all the armies surrendered, but the general soldier Li Shouhua scolded the thieves for not yielding, and finally the thieves surrounded him, and Li Shouhua drew his sword and killed himself.
However, the people who surrendered to the officials and generals, and eagerly cheered the Shun army into the city, did not look forward to their good days, and soon after the recovery of stolen goods and subsidies began, and like the Jingshi, the city of Changping fell into a bloody storm, crying and remorse.
Moreover, because Li Zicheng discovered that the recovery of stolen goods and subsidies had caused an extremely adverse impact, he ordered a halt on 8 April, and the detained bureaucrats were to be released regardless of whether the stolen goods were completed or not, and he also ordered all battalions and soldiers not to harass the common people again.
However, in fact, it was only roughly stopped in the Beijing Division, and the activities of recovering stolen goods and helping salaries were still vigorously carried out in the cities near the Beijing Division, under the jurisdiction of the Shun army.
It is easy to ask God and it is difficult to send God, and it is not easy for the evil desires hidden in human nature to be unleashed, and it is not easy to close and take them back.
In particular, who are the guards of Changping City, Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei?
One is ruthless and vicious, and he will be avenged, and even eats people's brains and livers raw, and only knows how to flee for his life when he fights, and the scourge of the people is incomparable.
One is a vulgar and domineering martial artist, who is on the same page as Zuo Liangyu and others, and only knows how to plunder, and even ambushes and robs his subordinates for the sake of silver salary.
With these two people here, you can imagine what kind of life the military and civilians of Changping City are living now, everyone has infinite remorse, and they should not have surrendered to thieves at the beginning, but should follow the general soldier Li Shouhua to fight to the end.
But there is no regret medicine in the world, everyone can only cry, but hope that the Jingbian army will come soon, and the general will come to save them from fire and water.
Of course, the former Ming officials, the people of the former Ming Dynasty are worse than dead, for Liu Zeqing, Qiu Lei and others, this day is really happy, light and fluttering, as if in heaven.
"I have made a fortune, I have made a fortune, this Gyeonggi capital is really rich, and a random little rich man can sometimes even scrape out one or two hundred thousand taels of silver. There are many rich households and a large population in Changping, how much can be looted in total? Even if part of it was handed over to Liu Zongmin's Compensation and Suppression Division, the big head was still hidden by himself. From the main generals Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei down, these Shandong soldiers who revolted made a lot of money one by one. I felt that it was a wise decision to take refuge in King Chuang at that time. ”
And in addition to money, there is also the temptation of beautiful women, in the past, Qiu Ba couldn't ask for a mother-in-law in their thirties and forties, but now I hug one on the left and one on the right, and even the rich little lady and the eldest lady of the official family can get involved. Some people with heavy tastes even pick wives specially, do your men dare to stop it? Mother's leg, I cut off your head with a knife.
They are fluttering, and they only hope that this happy life will go on forever.
For Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei, they are not without contradictions, Qiu Lei became famous earlier, and the period of serving as the chief soldier is also longer than Liu Zeqing. However, Liu Zeqing's strange peak protrudes, and he guarded the rich Linqing land, which is a famous Cao Yun land, and the oil and water are unimaginably rich.
Therefore, Liu Zeqing's soldiers and horses quickly surpassed Qiu Lei, with a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, 3,000 horses and horses, and Liu Zeqing accounted for 2,000.
There is a lot of dirt between the two, but now the overall situation is important, and the looting is important, so after careful consultation, the two divided the territory, divided the shards, and did not interfere with each other, but they got along quite happily.
Liu Zeqing is fond of vocal plays, as early as the Linqing Dynasty, he raised beautiful prostitutes to pet more than 100 people, he went north with the army, of course, beautiful women could not be brought. But it doesn't matter, after arriving in Changping, he robbed a lot of women from good families, beautiful prostitutes pampered and served, and had unrestrained fun day and night.
In fact, as early as the capture of Changping, Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei also joined forces to attack Juyong Pass, but they didn't even enter Nankou Pass, let alone Juyong Pass.
Now he spends every day drinking, drunk and dreaming of death, and throws everything around him out of the clouds.
Juyong Pass, and even everyone in Xuanfu Town, have long been out of their memory, but they left some sentry posts near Nankou Pass earlier.
Today, after eating a sumptuous breakfast, Liu Zeqing was about to gather all kinds of noisy music and start his day of drunken dreams again, when a sentry stumbled into the house and suddenly woke up his sweet dream.
……
"Kill the thief!"
The sound of hooves was like thunder, and 5,000 cavalry surged like a tide, and 20,000 horses' hooves hit the ground, like rolling thunder on the horizon. The earth shook violently, and the dust in the sky was like a wild sandstorm, spreading all over the world.
Seeing the thunder of the horses' hooves trampling on the ground approaching, the knights on that side were all dressed in red and gold-rimmed trumpet robes, and they were all decorated with the sun, moon and waves, and there was a gold-rimmed banner of the sun and moon waves.
With an unstoppable momentum, they rushed straight into the sparsely panicked military formation, and in an instant, they smashed the already military formation.
"Defeated?"
Liu Zeqing lost his soul and turned pale, so he was defeated?
Early in the morning, after the sentinel who broke into the palace in a panic reported the news of the attack of the Jingbian army, Liu Zeqing woke up from any sweet dream, he hurriedly went to the city to watch, and sure enough, he saw a group of horses rushing towards Changping City, with smoke and dust billowing behind, and there seemed to be a large group of people and horses.
Liu Zeqing was also experienced in the army, and he could see at a glance that there were as many as three or four thousand horses coming from behind, which surprised him.
I had only heard that after staying in Changping for nearly a month, he knew more about the affairs of Xuanfu Town, and knew that Wang Doujing's border army there were quite a lot of soldiers and horses, and they were quite strong, which can be seen from the failure of his attack on Nankou Pass.
At this time, the elite general of the Jingbian Army surprised him even more, there were three or four thousand horses here alone!
You must know that three or four thousand horse teams are not a simple matter, he Liu Zeqing has worked hard for many years, and he is only two thousand horse teams. Relying on these horse teams, he ran rampant in Shandong, and even recruited the king. And there are three or four thousand horsemen in front of the enemy, and I don't know if there are any behind, and sure enough, the Jingbian army should not be underestimated.
However, although Liu Zeqing was shocked, he was not chaotic, although the enemy was fierce, he had more soldiers and horses, and Changping had been regarded as his territory, how could he allow others to get involved?
He urgently consulted with Qiu Lei, the two of them had the same thoughts, this city that controlled the capital division and the main road to the west could not fall into the hands of others, especially if I was outnumbered by the enemy, how could there be any reason not to fight?
The two immediately recruited soldiers and horses, except for a small number to defend the city, all of them were pulled out of the city to fight, and gave the Jingbian army a little color to those who came to attack.
However, the two of them were already scattered, and after nearly a month of chasing stolen goods and helping salaries, they had no military discipline and war spirit, and this army of scolding and dragging dragged out of the city. They were a mile away from the west gate, the formation had not yet been set, the artillery at the head of the city was not ready, and the cavalry on the opposite side had already launched an attack.
Then Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei were horrified to see that there were more cavalry on the opposite side, and the horse team gathered from the rear of the two sides was afraid that there would not be less than 5,000 horsemen.
They are all more skilled in horsemanship, and judging by their performance on horses, I am afraid that each of them will not be less than the combat effectiveness of their own subordinates.
Sure enough, under their brave and incomparable impact, the men and horses spread like a tide, and the sergeants who had already been in front of the formation put a burst of firearms from a distance, fired a few arrows indiscriminately, and collapsed.
They howled terribly, cut into countless messy pieces under the sweep of the iron horsemen, ploughed down piece by piece like weeds, and then howled and rushed desperately towards the Chinese army. From time to time, they were trampled to the ground by horses' hooves, and became a blur of flesh.
"Defeated like this?"
Liu Zeqing's face was as white as earth, his face was as pale as paper, and everything in front of him was like the deepest nightmare.
Last night he was still having fun with the snatched beauties until late at night, and today's breakfast was also calm, but in the blink of an eye, the dream was shattered?
"Dashuai, let's go!"
"Dashuai, the thieves are powerful, let's enter the city quickly, and then report to the Jingshi."
The generals beside him hurriedly persuaded him, they had no desire to fight, and the rout troops in the front had been driven over like a tide, and they would soon be approaching their Chinese army.
Liu Zeqing was still thinking about struggling again, whether to fight back with Qiu Lei and his family, but suddenly he looked in horror, only to see another iron flow on the right flank, as elite as the Jingbian army in front, full of the combat power of the family's elite cavalry.
They were also dressed in red and gold-rimmed uniforms, numbering as many as two or three thousand, and they rode into a vast iron wave, rushing into the right flank, and shocking the formation of the already side.
Liu Zeqing suddenly knew that these elite cavalry of the Jingbian Army must be hiding near Beishan, and then after the frontal attack, they dealt a heavy blow to the already side.
Liu Zeqing's cold hair trembled, these Jingbian troops have such a big plan, I am afraid that there will be a future.
Sure enough, as soon as he thought so, a sharp whistling sound came from the city, and a rocket shot into the sky from the city, exploding in mid-air, and a series of brilliant fireworks flashed, slowly converging into two golden characters: "Wansheng!" ”
The explosion of the thunderbolt made Liu Zeqing's whole body tremble, and he looked at it with a horrified look, and saw that with this order, the smoke suddenly billowed in the city, and then the sound of killing came out, the sound became louder and louder, and finally the whole city was shouting: "Kill the thief!" ”
This shout brought together the voices of countless people, men and women, old and young, and it seemed that the people of the entire Changping City were shouting for killing.
Liu Zeqing and the others looked back in despair, what happened?
At this time, a horse came galloping and shouted to Liu Zeqing in a panic: "Dashuai, it's not good, the north gate was opened, and the Jingbian army rushed into the city, with as many as two or three thousand horsemen." ”
Before Liu Zeqing could react, he rode again: "Dashuai, the east gate has been opened." ”
"Dashuai, the south gate was opened, and hundreds of people rushed out of the city."
"Dashuai, hundreds of people are coming to the west gate, and the brothers left behind in the city are killed by them one by one!"
Not only Liu Zeqing, but everyone around him was also trembling, why is this?
They remembered that when they entered Changping City, the four city gates were also opened like this, and now they are opened like this?
The chaos of the military formation had spread to the Chinese army, and the cavalry of the Jingbian Army was on a rampage, slashing and killing, and the screams of rout and flight were loud. At the same time, Liu Zeqing saw that people kept pouring out of various doors. They were men and women, old and young, all with hoes and sticks in their hands.
There were many women who also had kitchen knives in their hands and used the lid of the pot as a shield.
They shouted hoarsely, "Kill the thief! ”
These people, who were weak in the past, are like mad tigers at this time, and they are not afraid to pounce. And in front of them, stumbling and fleeing some of the remaining soldiers and horses, and then unceremoniously drowned by the rain of hoes and clubs, they let out a terrible cry of pleading, but to no avail.
In particular, many women rushed up in frenzy, screaming and biting off the flesh of these people piece by piece, like zombies crossing the border.
Liu Zeqing was dazed and frightened in his heart, why is this so?
Things came so fast, so suddenly, that he didn't have time to think, as if yesterday was fine.
He was involuntarily coerced by his subordinates and fled desperately in the direction of Jingshi, and in the chaos he was still thinking: "His soldiers and horses are scattered like this?" The gold and silver treasures that I have worked hard to loot for almost a month are gone? The beauty that I worked so hard to rob is gone? ”
He thought, "By the way, the latest few beauties haven't been enjoyed yet." ”
……
"The Jingbian Army is really strong, how long have those thieves held out?"
"They are not the Jingbian Army, and the Jingbian Army is much stronger than this. Those were not the headquarters of the thieves, but the surrendered Nanban army. ”
The whispering voice of the alien voice was on the edge of a mountain forest in Beishan, where more than a dozen people dressed as Ming people lurked cautiously. But from their violent eyes, black and red skin, small eyes and big round faces, two mouses, and two temples that are too light, they can still be seen that they are not the people of the Central Plains race.
At this time, it was the one who spoke but was assigned to Pashiku Tonggar, but it was Niu Lu Zhangjing Suoer and Nuo who corrected him, and there were Gebush Xian soldiers Hun Dashan, Jaisamu, Ebei and others beside him, they were all the most elite Ge Bush Xian camp sentinels in the Qing Dynasty.
They sentry spied everywhere several days before the army, and at this time they even spied on the edge of Changping.
And Saul and Nuo were originally Manchurian red flag people, because of a series of military exploits to promote Bush Xianniu Lu Zhangjing, in history he is also quite strategic, once suggested Abatai: "Those who do not go down the river will rely on foreign aid." Break one of its battalions, and all of them will collapse. ”
Abatai followed it and sent his generals to attack the battalion of the general soldier Xue Enemy, but the Xue enemy was defeated and all the reinforcements were defeated.
At this time, he looked at the bottom of the mountain, saw the battle between the two sides, and soon the thieves and horses were defeated, his eyes flashed with a solemn look, and the cavalry under the mountain that 10,000 soldiers under the control of the Jingbian army should not be underestimated.
What particularly frightened him was that the Jingbian Army's ability to do all kinds of spy work was right under the noses of the thieves, instigating a rebellion in the whole city, and in the blink of an eye, the internal and external responses were combined, and the thief city was lost.
He carefully looked at the battle situation under the mountain, and after correcting Tong Gar beside him, he suddenly stared at him and said, "Those are the Jingbian Army!" ”
The slave riders looked at it, and a sea of flags came from afar, and between the flags were layers of cavalry, and their troops were in strict formation, as if they were galloping. But even in the Mercedes-Benz, they still maintain a strict array, strong military spirit, dazzling.
And their soldiers and horses seem to spread to the sky, and I don't know how many there are before and after, Tong Gar and the others are all discolored.
Sol and Nuo looked around cautiously, and said solemnly: "The Jingbian army has really been dispatched, and this news has to be transmitted back immediately." ”
There were a crowd of horses in the woods, all of them chewing on their mouths, and their hooves wrapped in muslin, so that there was no sound in the process.
Thor and Noor quietly mounted their horses and quietly left the woods, like the most skilled hunters, and they were very cautious and professional in their actions. Neither of the enemy nor the enemy was aware of their presence on either side of the battle in the plains below.
"Master Cat, those Tartars seem to have gone back to deliver the news."
What Thor and Noor and the others didn't know was that a group of people were quietly spying on them in a mountain forest a few miles away from them.
They were each holding a clairvoyant mirror wrapped in gray cloth, wearing gray felt hats and gray clothes. The person at the head is an ordinary-looking, cowering old farmer-like person, and a thin middle-aged man beside him is Yu Maoer and Qian Hai.
In the past few years, Yu Maoer has become the backbone of the sentry camp, and at this time, he has the title of general, and Qian Hai next to him has the title of team officer.
Their armor has also changed slightly, changing to a gray coat, but the inside is full of fine chain mail.
This is an upgraded version of chain mail, which is also lightweight and has more protection.
They used clairvoyance mirrors to spy on Sol and Nuo and the others from a few miles away, and Sol and Nuo thought they were careful, but in fact, his every move fell into the eyes of Yu Mao'er and others.
Seeing them quietly riding their horses and leaving, Yu Mao'er commanded: "Don't alarm them, follow them far behind their buttocks." ”
……
Outside Changping City, the mountains were full of people and horses of Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei's subordinates who fled for their lives, and Changping City could not go back, so they desperately fled in the direction of Jingshi. They all ran for their lives, only hating their father and mother for missing two legs.
In addition to these death-urging knights, these routs were horrified to find that the villagers of all villages and villages where they passed, ten miles and eight towns, greeted them with hoes and clubs.
That kind of crazy momentum, I will never stop until I smash them to pieces.
Less than a month ago, on their way to Changping, almost all the people were eating pot pulp.
In less than a month, the situation in the hearts and minds of the people has become like this.
After there were chasing soldiers, there were people along the way who continued to intercept and shout to kill, Liu Zeqing and Qiu Lei were less and less people around them, and in the end they completely gave up those foot soldiers, only hoping that the horse cavalry in the camp could escape with their lives.
However, there were too many pursuers, at least six or seven thousand horsemen were biting at them, and the horse team of the two was only three thousand, and they did not know how much they had lost in the previous chaos.
Slowly, they gave up even the ordinary horsemen, hoping that their families would escape with their lives.
However, looking at the Jingbian military horse team in the rear, Liu Zeqing's heart swelled with despair, even if he could escape with his life, I am afraid that after arriving in Beijing, the family Ding horse team under his command may not be able to have more than 100 people, and without soldiers and horses, what is he in Dashun?
Why is this happening?
Liu Zeqing still hasn't understood what happened.
He had the feeling that he was still in a dream. (To be continued.) )
