Chapter 129: Framing Qian Tai
Hundreds of cavalry suddenly arrived, and the military households outside the acropolis were shocked and overwhelmed, although they were called military households, in fact they were not much different from the farmers who cultivated the fields. If there is a war, the real fronts are the recruits of the imperial court and the families of the general soldiers. Although the military households also listened to the tune during wartime, most of the time they belonged to the role of indiscriminate and vain.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of the cavalry Tieliu, their arrogance when besieging the acropolis disappeared in an instant. Li Daliang, a hundred households, complained bitterly and regretted that he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today. Originally, Lord Qianhu confessed that leading people to attack the Acropolis was just for show, and Qian Tai had always been dirty, and he definitely didn't have the courage to resist. Besides, even if he wants to resist, he has no soldiers under his hands, and it is difficult to cook without rice!
Who knows, as soon as he came to the Acropolis, he found that his wishful thinking had failed, and Qian Tai, who had always been a dirt bag, actually entangled Chen Si and other Diao households to close the city and refuse to let them enter. What's even more infuriating is that Qian Tai also reprimanded Gu Tong in public for inciting the soldiers to besiege the Acropolis, and he also had to go to the Dusi Yamen to complain!
Of course, Li Daliang could not admit that the military households were organized and premeditated, and refuted it with the reason that Qian Tai was mean to the military households, and repeatedly stressed that their family Gu Qianhu did not know about this matter. At the same time, he was ordered to hand over Chen Si and other rebels and distribute winter silver taels. and threatened, otherwise he would no longer be able to restrain the military households, and when the time came, the military household situation would be out of control, and it would be difficult to guarantee that he would do something out of the ordinary.
Qian Tai and Li Daliang are in the same city, one in the city, you come and go, and they are arguing. Eventually, the negotiations broke down completely. Li Daliang waved his hand and left the city angrily. At the same time, thousands of soldiers began to carry logs and hit the city gates. At the same time, an attempt was made to enter the city with two openings in the city walls. But a thick wooden fence had already been clamped at the gap, and it was not easy to climb over it.
Li Daliang still kept an eye on it, although Gu Tong once confessed that he didn't care about human life, but these people are all natives of their hometown, once they kill too many people, how can his Li family still live in the town? Besides, if the top is investigated, it is himself who brought people to besiege the city, who will believe that he did not order the killing? Maybe you'll have to carry the black pot when the time comes. It's better to accumulate some virtue, as long as you break open the city gate and rush in, a thousand military households will not be able to deal with those 100 people?
This is also the change before Li Xin and the others discovered the attack on the Acropolis.
The cavalry suddenly erected the battle flag of the Ming army in the iron stream, which made Li Daliang breathe a long sigh of relief, it turned out that they were all his own people, as long as they were not Mongolian Tatars, it was easy to say. But then, he began to tremble again.
Those cavalrymen didn't know that they were the soldiers of the Thousand Households of the Guard, which of the guards would besiege the Acropolis they defended? That doesn't make sense! Maybe those cavalrymen thought they were horse thieves and bandits!
Thinking of this, Li Daliang couldn't help but shudder fiercely. Looking closely, the number of cavalry galloping towards was not large, only a hundred, but in the distance, there was a faint scene of a large army slowly advancing.
Li Daliang immediately ordered to stop slamming the door, on the one hand, he made people set up a formation to prevent the frontal impact of the cavalry, and on the other hand, he ordered several people who were usually loud to shout in front of the battle.
"It's all Ming Army, don't get me wrong!"
The cavalry galloped to the front, and in response to them were the throwing of iron lumps. Li Daliang was inexplicable, he had heard of throwing guns, but he had never heard of throwing stones before the battle, and according to this distance, it was difficult to hit them on the head! After throwing the iron lumps, the cavalry drew a beautiful arc in front of the formation and swept towards their left flank.
Li Daliang and the soldiers sneered at the iron bumps falling to the clearing, but then the sound of explosions one after another made them unable to laugh anymore. All the military households were frightened, and some timid military households directly felt that their crotch was hot and humid, and they sat down on the ground, they couldn't figure out how the iron bump exploded, and some even suspected that the other party was firing the cannon.
Li Xin watched the first surprise attack of Lu Jiu and the others from afar, threw iron thunder, and successfully shocked the rabble besieging the acropolis. At this time, he was already 100% sure that they were not Mongols, but Han Chinese through and through.
Zeng dared to stand beside Li Xin, looking at the battlefield in the distance with a nervous expression, he seemed to hear what the enemy was shouting, carefully distinguishing it for a while, and when he heard the content of the shouting, he couldn't help but sneer:
"Don't the current thieves even have the courage and determination to fight? Pretending to be an official or soldier is a very clumsy trick! β
Li Xin also heard their faint shouts.
Thieves? It doesn't look like it, although this group of rabble looks like they are demoralized and disorganized, but at the first time, they randomly set up the infantry battle formation of the Ming army's standard to deal with the cavalry, although it is messy, but it can also be seen that they are trained on weekdays.
The thieves gathered together, where would they practice this battle technique?
"Not necessarily! This place is dilapidated and chaotic, maybe it's really our own people! β
Zeng dared to snort coldly, no longer picking up stubble, he was very self-aware, Li Xin's battlefield intuition was different from ordinary people, and he could still distinguish priorities at critical moments! Li Xin saw that he dared not to object, so he ordered the soldiers in charge of the flag to beat drums and wave horses, and told Lu Jiu to be cautious.
Lu Jiu also discovered the anomalies of this group of thieves after the first round of iron thunder explosions, first of all, although they were dressed in disheveled clothes, most of them were still wearing extremely old-fashioned Ming army horns. Moreover, although the changes in its military formation are crude and blunt, they are far beyond the reach of thieves. At the same time, he also heard the other party's shouting claiming to be a Ming army. It just so happened that Li Xin in the rear also sent a signal, which made him cautious.
He halted the second attack, and all the cavalry stopped a mile away, ready to send someone to negotiate.
Who knew that the other party was the first to come, only to see that this person was flying like a horse, panting, and came to the front of the army of the Ninth Army, and dismounted in one go, but he was a good hand on the horse.
"I don't know which guard the general is? Xia Guan is the subordinate of the commander of the town guard and the yamen! β
General Lu Jiu was skeptical.
"Why? And how to besiege the Acropolis? β
The person who came was Shi Datuo, the subordinate of the Weisi Yamen, he came at the right time, otherwise Li Daliang might have to fight with him, and when the time comes, how many people will be left in Gu Tong's Thousand Households? Dead in vain!
"The general doesn't know, there is an accident in the city, Qian Tai, the governor of the Weisi Yamen, is entangled in the chaos of the people, and Lord Hu in front of my family is to set things right!"
Shi Datuo said secretly, Governor Qian, Governor Qian, I don't want to do this if my colleagues don't want to do it, you die yourself, I'll give you another ride!
Lu Jiu's eyes flickered, staring at Shi Datuo's flickering eyes, trying to judge from his gaze whether he was lying or not. Seeing that the other party was silent, Shi Datuo said repeatedly: "General, what I said is true!" β
After finishing, he added, "Please help me!" β
Lu Jiu still didn't answer, he couldn't be sure that he was telling the truth from the face of this person who looked at him and described him as obscene. Besides, after all, there are thousands of people on the other side, as the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies will cause eight hundred, even if these rabble, they will inevitably suffer casualties if they are one enemy and ten, this is the last thing he wants to see, Li Xin asked him to be cautious, so he followed Shi Datuo's words and asked: "Empty mouth and white teeth, why do you believe you?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep but firm voice answered him.
"Ben Qianhu can testify!"
I saw that there was another person behind Shi Datuo, dressed in a neat black cotton robe, with an obvious scar on the left side of his face!
"The town guards the left thousand households and thousands of households Gu Tong!"
Scarface clenched his fists and saluted!
The leader came, but Lu Jiu was strange, he obviously saw that this person came from the south with more than a dozen standard-bearers, if he was the commander of this group of people, why wasn't he together? Although I had doubts, I still believed three or two more points. Immediately clench your fists and return the salute!
"Under the command of the three guards, Lu Jiu!"
Lu Jiu did not have the rank of military attachΓ©, and there was no official demolition, so he vaguely reported Li Xin's dispatch!
The Three Guards? Gu Tong gasped, he had heard that the imperial court would send a general soldier of the three guards of Rauschzi, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly! An unprecedented sense of foreboding came over me. In his plan to seek the command of the Zhenyu Guard, and then control the entire Zhenyuwei, this person is afraid that he will be the biggest obstacle. But he still didn't change his face, and even smiled.
"It turned out to be a subordinate of the General Army of the Three Guards, and if you miss it, forgive your sins, forgive your sins!"
Then there was another sigh.
"Let the general see the joke, the governor of the Weisi Yamen has some misunderstanding with the thousand households, and it is said that there is a sum of silver, and he and some military households have divided it privately. However, this silver was distributed by the capital to the military households in difficulty for the New Year, and the military households under the thousand households made a fuss. β
Gu Tong was heartbroken again and again.
"It's a shame to say that Gu Tongxi is a thousand households, and it is not good to restrain his subordinates. When the news was obtained, he chased the siege to stop the fight, but it was too late, and thanks to the timely arrival of the general, it did not cause a catastrophe. Please also bow to Gu Tong! β
After that, Gu Tong actually dismounted, and really fell to the ground in front of Lu Jiuma!
This pretentiousness made Lu Jiu embarrassed, and he believed in his and Na Datuo's words in his heart.
Talking about this Gu Tong, he originally wanted to stay out of the matter and go back to Qianhu. But watching Stato's back fade away, he suddenly changed his mind, and the development of events had deviated from his plan. The identity of this Ming army is unknown, if he doesn't go in person and recapture the development of the whole situation, won't he give the initiative to that Qiantai?
When he arrived, he heard Shi Datuo's words, but he happened to be in his mind, so he climbed up the pole and simply splashed all the dirty water on Qian Tai. He even secretly prayed that the three guards were reckless, and it was best to remove this annoying stumbling block for himself!
