After the ten-man patrol team was taken, the commotion here also woke up the sleeping defenders in the city gatehouse, and they rushed out one by one without caring about putting on their clothes, so they picked up the weapons by the door and rushed out. The dozens of horsetail warriors who had already gone up to the building followed closely behind their respective team officers, rushing straight towards the enemy army. The soldiers of these vanguard were obviously also carefully selected fierce men in the army, and they did not need to shout superfluous slogans anymore, and waved their blades one by one, no matter who was in front of them, they all slashed to the ground with a knife, and rushed towards the middle of the tower.

Melee combat, the defenders of the city head are not their opponents of the horsetail army, the horsetail army soldiers are strictly trained daily, there are instructors in the army who specialize in teaching people to fight, everyone can be said to be experienced in battle, very good at hand-to-hand combat, and these defenders of the city, I don't know how many years have not seen blood, in the past, they can only bully ordinary people, let them go into the mountains to suppress a bandit dare not, the gap between the two is of course very huge. In addition, as more and more people rushed to the main tower of the city tower, the eighty or ninety defenders were blocked at the door to fight, and then rushed to the interior.

But there are only a few rooms above this city tower, and it is already full for eighty or ninety people to lie in it and sleep all night, where is there still a place for them to retreat!

"The Mawei Army is pressing, and you won't surrender!" The captain of a squad of the Mawei Army shouted loudly.

Captain He also had an idea: "Surrender and avoid death!" ”

"Surrender or kill!"

"Surrender or kill!"

Dozens of people shouted, and the remaining forty or fifty defenders immediately hesitated. But when I saw the fierce and vicious appearance of the Ponytail Army. Some of the defenders who were still fighting died under the horsetail saber. One by one, they threw away their weapons and began to surrender on their knees. With the first one, there was immediately a second, and then dozens of defenders all dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

Just when all the defenders surrendered, several horsetail soldiers on the city tower poured fire oil on the wood prepared on the city tower and ignited it, and suddenly the fire burned violently. The soldiers of the Mawei Artillery Division, who had already been waiting outside the city, saw the signal and shouted to enter the city.

There were still more than 500 garrisons stationed in the garrison yamen more than a mile away from this city tower, and they did not expect the city gate to be attacked in the middle of the night. These days, they have been strict enough to check at the city gate, and they really didn't expect the Mawei Army to sneak attack from inside the city. When the Mawei army and the defenders were fighting in the castle tower, the loud shouting of killing woke up some of the people who lived close to the castle tower. However, the garrison yamen had not moved, and it was not until a fire broke out at the head of the city that the patrol soldiers of the garrison yamen found out.

What's the use of finding out at this time? It was too late, and by the time they began to march to the city gate, the Mawei army had already reached the city gate. Yang Jian took the lead and rushed into the city gate with fifty horsemen, and then a group of artillery division soldiers also quickly entered the city.

When the Mawei army entered the city, Yang Jian quickly sent troops to capture the other three gates, as for whether there were other troops in the city, there was no need to worry. As long as the city gate is taken, no number of people inside will be able to escape. He still has some understanding of the garrison situation in the upper ring city. There were more than 1,200 people, and at the moment there were more than 500 people in Simen, and there were about 500 people guarding the yamen, and the remaining part was sent to protect the prefect's yamen.

The garrison around the city thought that his more than 100 soldiers could defend the city for a while, at least until he led the army to arrive. However, he gathered 500 men and horses, and just rushed to the south gate to continue to defend the city, but found that the Mawei army had already entered the city, and at this time, the Mawei army also saw this group of eye-catching targets with torches, and without saying a word, a large group of soldiers quickly rushed in this direction under the leadership of the captain.

"Kill!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The Mawei army began to shoot at a distance of one or two hundred meters from them, and although there was no accuracy in the night, the more than fifty soldiers pursuing at the front opened fire at the same time, and still hit several defenders of the upper circle. For these defenders, at such a distance, only torches could be seen, but no human figures could be seen, and in this way, fifteen people fell. Although not a single one died, ten of the fifteen people who were shot fell to the ground wailing. The lucky five were shot in the arm, but it didn't matter.

The gunfire did not stop, "Bang bang bang!" The sound kept ringing, which made the defenders who were still stunned fall every second.

"Retreat, go to the West Gate, the city can't be defended, let's run to Fuzhou!" Quick, stay and die! "The garrison around the city didn't want to surrender at all, although he was a Han man, and fifteen years ago he was still a soldier of Nanming, but he didn't have any hope for the rebellion of the vassal king, he remembered the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners, when they were a standard of 3,000 soldiers and horses, they didn't even resist the Eight Banners 800 people, and now these feudal kings can make any trouble!

He didn't care about the soldiers who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, even if he wanted to, he couldn't take care of them. His idea was good, but not all the defenders were following his orders at this time. Although most of the soldiers still followed him towards the west gate, there were still forty or fifty people who hesitated and stayed. What remained was not to surrender to the Mawei Army, but to turn around and go into the alley and disappear. The large forces of the Mawei Army did not pay attention to these people, stared at the torch brigade in front of them and continued to pursue.

"Big brother, are we really not going to Fuzhou with the garrison?"

"it, we just go, and we will still be sent to the battlefield in the future, and then we outsiders will definitely become cannon fodder, and we will be the first to die. Do you all want to die? The bearded man in the lead roared in a low voice.

"No, no, big brother, what do you think we should do?"

The bearded man's eyes rolled around a few times, and then he said: "Don't worry about anything else, take off this clothes first, we wear this clothes, as long as the army entering the city finds us, we will die!" ”

"Yes, yes, take off, take off. Anyway, it's not cold, and the troops who took off their clothes and entered the city saw us as people who came out at night to see the excitement. Before he finished speaking, the horse coat on his body had already been taken off.

"Well, the brethren threw away all the spears in their hands and only took a knife. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to loot a few big households in the city and grab a few shops, and in the future, it is not stable to eat and drink spicy food, and there will be no more if you miss this opportunity! Is there anyone who doesn't want to go? The bearded man asked with a hideous expression, as if anyone disagreed, and immediately stepped forward to chop him off.

"No, rob him. Damn! More than forty minions shouted excitedly.

"That's right, rob him. Damn! ”

"Rob him. Damn! The other rebels also made a loud noise, as if they had seen piles of gold and silver in front of them waiting for them to take them!

The bearded man immediately led his forty brothers to start robbing the house, they were originally local pranksters, they did all the bad things in the past, climbed the garrison officer to get into the garrison camp and ate military rations, but they were not at ease like this, and often came out to oppress the people. Now this great opportunity, how can they let it go. Here, the Mawei army was attacking the other three gates, and was still chasing the garrison deserters, and they didn't have time to take care of them for the time being, but they succeeded again and again, and collected a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

The Mawei Army also moved quickly, although the artillery division had no actual experience in capturing cities, but the military rules had been studied many times, and they also advanced in an orderly manner during the night. When the Mawei Army was rapidly advancing towards the inner city, they also found the pimples who took advantage of the chaos to do evil, and now the city is full of chaos, and it is far more than just bearded people who want to take advantage of the chaos to rob.

After Yang Jian received the report and learned about the situation in the city, he directly ordered the army to enter the city in an all-round way without saying a word, pacify the situation around the city as quickly as possible, and search for those rebels who were evil in the city, as well as the splashes who took advantage of the chaos to rob. Originally, if the Shangrao garrison soldiers surrendered, they would be able to form a new army like Guangdong in the future, but for these people, Yang Jian was not uncommon at all, and ordered that as long as one was caught, one would be killed, and the head would be directly carried in his hand, so as to deter those restless people in the city. Wait until dawn, hang these heads at the corner of the street, and see if anyone dares to make trouble!

The results were also quickly highlighted, the Mawei army entered the city in less than half a day, and the situation in Shangrao City was completely stabilized before dawn. During the search, the city was filled with torches, reflecting the city as if it were daytime.

In this way, the people in the city were really a little desperate, the rebels ran to their homes in the middle of the night to rob, many families were destroyed, and then the Mawei army entered the city and quickly suppressed, the people in these cities thought that they would soon usher in a bigger looting, but they didn't think that this army that suddenly appeared was not at all like the original garrison army in their city, as soon as they entered the city, they immediately began to impose martial law along the streets, searching for those rebels and splashes who plagued the people. At the same time, the subordinates of these Mawei Army, the military discipline is very strict, they do not rob, do not spoil women, and do not force themselves into the people's houses, and they stabilized the situation in the city at a very fast speed, and also killed the heads of those who were fighting for the chaos in the city.
