Chapter 346: Betrayal or Betrayal
The battle between the Denglai army and the rebels outside Dengzhou City has become a joke, and it can be regarded as a strange flower in history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When You Shilu led the main force of 3,000 soldiers to fight fiercely with the main force of the cavalry, which was the strongest in the rebel army, hundreds of Liao people in Zhang Tao's subordinate who were pressing the formation on the side actually threw themselves into the rebels.
Dengshi, the Denglai army was in chaos, the rebels took advantage of the situation to cover up, the Denglai army was defeated and fled to the town, fortunately the town was covered by crossbows and firecrackers, and then retreated into the city.
Zongzhen You Shilu was hit by three arrows in his body and retreated to Shuicheng, fortunately, he was protected by heavy armor, but he was only slightly injured, but he was extremely aggrieved in his heart, he had never suffered such a defeat, even if he fought to the death with Jiannu, he did not say that he was defeated in such a short time, he could only sigh that his descendants were not powerful.
In this battle, the 3,000 Dengzhou soldiers lost nearly 1,000 soldiers, which can be described as a broken muscle and bones, and it is impossible to go out of the city for a decisive battle.
Sun Yuanhua heard a long sigh, God don't bless me, he originally thought that You Shilu would win for a while, he took advantage of the victory to discuss with Kong Youde to appease, he expected that Kong Youde after the new defeat would be able to surrender, who knew that the Ming army was still defeated, he couldn't help but scold You Shilu You are also a trickster.
He immediately ordered the sailors to send ships to Jinghaiwei, but there was no choice but to let Zhao Lie go out to destroy the rebels, and now defeating Kong Youde as soon as possible to clean up the situation was the only thing he could do.
How dare Wang Yi slack off, and immediately send a ship to Jinghaiwei, this is not only an urgent task for his boss, but also related to his net worth and life, today's defeat has made him heartbroken, and now he can only beg Zhao Lie to clean up the situation.
The ship was sent out, and it also brought Sun Yuanhua's only hope, but unfortunately he couldn't see it.
In the middle of the night, more than 300 spies who had mixed into the defeated army and returned to Dengzhou rose up to control the city gate, and Kong Youde's army broke into Dengzhou City.
Sun Yuanhua, the prefect of Denglai, Wang Hui, the superintendent of the army, Zhang Tao, the deputy general, and Yang Jingtang, the commander of the Du Sidu, were all captured.
More than 4,000 soldiers in Denglai City were also captured, and there were more than 100,000 salaries. Dozens of cannons, dozens of Portuguese gunsmiths, and hundreds of gunners were captured.
The chaotic and noisy Dengzhou in the middle of the night made Dengzhou Shuicheng also a mess, You Shilu and Tang Qian successively boarded Shuicheng to supervise the battle, and they didn't need too complicated minds to know that Dengzhou was finished, and now what they have to do is to hold Shuicheng, after all, the official roads to the outside world are occupied by rebels. The water city leading to the sea was the only way for them to communicate with the Ming court.
When the white sun rose in winter, the whole team of rebels outside Denglai Water City nearly Wan Yaowu was clamoring, which silenced the Ming army soldiers in Water City.
Geng Zhongming looked at all this with complicated eyes, and his heart moved slightly.
You Shilu ordered the whole city to prepare for war, demolished the sacrificial temple, the stage and some houses, and stockpiled rolling wood and stones for long-term support, he knew that the battle of Denglai could not end in the short term.
The process of the imperial court was clear, and the cabinet received an urgent report from Dengzhou. Send the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven consults with the courtiers, makes a decision, and sends a will to mobilize reinforcements, and when the reinforcements are sent, the reinforcements arrive, and it will be more than three months at the earliest, before that. He could only lead less than 2,000 soldiers and young men to defend the city.
Geng Zhongming, who was tired after a hard day's work in the evening, returned to the house in Shuicheng and had just had dinner. The guards reported that someone claimed to be an old man and asked to see him.
Geng Zhongming's heart moved, hesitated for a moment, and still let people in.
"Lord Geng, don't come unharmed." When people come in, they pay their respects.
Geng Zhongming raised his eyes and saw that he was really an acquaintance who couldn't be more familiar, it was Pang Yu, the leader of Kong Youde's guards, who was not tall, but extremely strong. The bow horse is skillful and scheming, and he is a confidant of Kong Youde, and to be honest, he is a first-class guerrilla.
"Oh, who else should this official be. It turned out to be Pang Yu, do you know that Denglai is now wanted by you, and you dare to enter my mansion, you are really bold. Geng Zhongming's face sank like water.
"Hahaha," Pang Yu laughed and said, "What are you talking about Denglai, now Denglai is only left with this water city, the reason why the marshal of my family did not forcibly attack the city is because he cares about the naval warships in the city, otherwise the small water city can be launched." ”
"Oh, your adults can let go of the siege and see how it goes." Geng Zhongming sneered.
"What Lord Geng said is not true, and it may be a lie, but our army is attacking the city with all its might, and Lord Geng will not deny it in a few days." Pang Yu arched his hand.
Geng Zhongming smiled and said nothing, what kind of attack method is the siege of the city, such as Kong Youde drove the people to attack the city like Jiannu and consumed the rolling wood and stones of the defenders in the city, and when the defending army was exhausted, the army took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and it was estimated that the fall of the water city would be a matter of time.
As for whether Kong Youde will do this, according to Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde will definitely do it, this person will not compromise the means for the sake of the end, it is already the opposite, will he still care about the lives of 10,000 or 20,000 people.
"My lord, whether the ship can be saved this time is up to my lord."
"It's really funny, this general is the general of the Dengzhou Standard Battalion, hehe, you are a traitor, I won't kill you today, get out." Geng Zhongming waved his hand.
"Adults have always been wise, but this time it is so unclear, it's a pity." Pang Yu said urgently.
"Lord Geng and my family have a good relationship, this time my family is dissatisfied with the dog officials along the way and has to rebel, although the adults are not with my family together, but in the eyes of people who have a heart, you and my family are all the way, now Lord Geng is defending the city, it's good to say, after the momentum has passed, someone has taken a fancy to Lord Geng's position, and has used some means, hehe."
Geng Zhongming's heart sank, what he is most afraid of now is this, now he is defending the city and helping each other, no one cares about him, but once the rebellion is quelled, some people take a fancy to his position, make a small use of some means, some clear stream comments, and those who have a heart will push it again, and then it will be light for Geng Zhongming to lose his official position.
"What's more, it's easy for my family to let people bite it." Pang Yu said gloomily.
"You," Geng Zhongming was extremely angry, this was handing the knife to the person who took a fancy to the position under him, can this person still let go, a staff general is also a high-powered general, how many garrison guerrillas are aimed at, how can he let go of this good opportunity.
"Haha, my family has always taken care of my good brothers, and I have always relied on Lord Geng's talents, Lord Wanwang will not let Marshal Kong down." Pang Yu said with a smile.
Geng Zhongming knows Kong Youde's vicious personality too well, if he doesn't obey, Kong Youde will definitely make a killer, he is a character who would rather let me bear the world than let the world bear me.
"Lord Geng, don't worry, the marshal of my family is not really against this time, but it is just to let the Ming soldiers know how powerful we are waiting for the Liao soldiers, and they dare not force me to wait to go to Liaodong, and finally let the court have to recruit peace." Pang Yu induces step by step.
Geng Zhong will fight tomorrow, and the left and right will be dead, rather than being entangled in being settled by the Autumn Queen, it is better to fight hard.
In the early morning, the water city was dark, and there were three torches shaking on the west gate, and suddenly, three torches were shaken a mile away, and the faint fire light on and below the city was so weird, and the red color in the center of the torch was like blood that had just flowed.
The jack gate was twisted with a creaking sound, and the city gate was wide open, and the rebels outside rushed silently towards the city gate, only the metal sound of soldiers and armor colliding echoed through the dark field.
When the jack gate was opened, You Shilu's generals already knew that there was a thief, and hurriedly reported to You Shilu, and when You Shilu heard the news, he led six hundred families to the west gate, and countless rebels were rushing to the general soldier's mansion along the street.
The two armies met on the main road and immediately began to fight.
The number of rebels is far greater than that of You Shilu's cronies, but You Shilu is not chaotic in the face of danger, and the main road is not wide, and the rebels cannot exert their strength to fight to the death with the rebels.
The sound of armor intersecting and the howls of the dead and wounded echoed in the streets, and the rebels took advantage of their numerical superiority to continue to storm the Jiading's defenses, and the troops under You Shilu gradually became overwhelmed.
You Shilu was covered in fish scale armor and watched the front line getting closer and closer to him, but he didn't move.
"My lord, my subordinates are here to block the traitor for a moment, and my lord will open it from the water gate immediately, and it will be too late." A pro-general knelt down and said.
"You Quan, don't say more, if I run away from here today, my entire You family will be disgraced for this, and my brother will also be embarrassed for me, okay, you can lead those who are willing to go to the dock immediately." You Shilu picked up the long-handled saber in his hand.
"My lord, my subordinates won't leave, and my subordinates are also shameless to see the big man." The pro-general said in tears.
"Okay, then kill the enemy with me and go." You Shilu picked up the long-handled saber and killed dozens of personal soldiers around him.
You Shilu led the soldiers like a mad tiger to kill into the enemy group regardless of life and death, the long knife in his hand was shattered, and the family around him was also fighting bravely, most of them were the sons of the You family in Ningxia, if they died in battle with You Shilu, there was a You family behind them, if they escaped from the battle, even if they fled back, the whole family was also the result of being disposed of by the You family.
You Shilu cut down a rebel leader with another knife, and this leader also slashed You Shilu's left arm, which broke the armor and made You Shilu's left arm bleed.
You Shilu roared, plucked up all his strength, and rushed to the next opponent, this rebel was terrified, he did not stab You Shilu, but blocked the spear, and with the sound of the saber, the wooden pole was cut off, and the rebel was cut into two pieces.
You Shilu laughed and rushed forward like a god, at this moment, at the sound of the bowstring, several feather arrows flew in, You Shilu hurriedly blocked, or a crossbow arrow broke through his armor from under his ribs, entering the flesh more than an inch, and the pain in his heart made his body stunned.
A rebel broadsword in front of him took advantage of the situation to cut down, just to pick up a bargain and make a great achievement, this is the chief general of the Ming army.
You Shilu barely flashed, did not get out of the way, the left shoulder armor shattered, the flesh and blood flew over, You Shilu snorted in pain, and with one right hand, he swung the saber hard, slashed through the neck of the rebel, and almost cut off his head, but the strength of one hand was insufficient, and the knife still came out.
You Shilu, who was covered in blood, yelled at the rebels behind him unwillingly, frightening the two rebels on the opposite side, and hurriedly dodged back.
At this time, several feather arrows flew towards You Shilu, You Shilu looked at the arrows with a smile, his feet did not move, he had no strength. (To be continued.) )
