Chapter 256: Final Surrender
The second battalion commander finally caught his breath and said hurriedly: "This morning, I saw a lot of soldiers outside the city, and I didn't care when I saw that it was my own people, but after an hour, they still didn't move, so I sent someone out to ask, but there were dozens of people in three waves, and they didn't put back one to report the news!" ”
Li Huzi didn't take it seriously, and scolded: "Is it that the people you sent have a bad attitude and provoke them, I told you a long time ago, don't take the same way as the bandits in the past, we are a regular army!" ”
Zhang Jizhi was taken aback and asked, "Are there any soldiers in other directions?" ”
The second battalion commander replied cautiously: "There are four city gates, I estimate that there are at least 100,000 people, and the east gate is the cavalry army of Captain Ye!" ”
Kong Jie was terrified in his heart, and asked Zhang Jizhi: "There is only one army in the city, what do they mean?" ”
Zhang Jizhi didn't want to believe this fact, his eyes were blank, he took two steps back and sat on the chair, and subconsciously replied: "They put us as rebels, and Li Shoucheng and Miao Peilin died like this at that time!" ”
Li Huzi was shocked and angry, and said loudly: "Those two bastards colluded with the Qing army and deserved to be executed, but we just drank here and didn't say that we wouldn't give money, so we were treated as rebels, this is not wronged!" ”
Wu Xiucai smiled angrily, pointed at Li Huzi and said: "You really don't understand or pretend, the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city are obviously coming for us people, just because they are finished, but we can't do it!" ”
Kong Jie was angry and proposed: "Let's fight with them, I will go back and gather my brothers to defend the city!" ”
Huang Guiqun agreed: "Not bad! We can't sit still, damn it! This Li Dashuai is not authentic, he must be making a small report in front of the emperor! ”
A word stirs up a thousand waves. Upstairs, the regiment commander, the deputy regiment commander, and the battalion commander were excited, and shouted one after another:
"Fight!"
"Fight. It's a big deal! ”
"Since he turned his face and didn't recognize people, everyone will die together!"
…………
Some of them took out their guns. At a glance, you can see that the road is safe, as long as you pull the trigger, the bullet can be fired.
Zhang Jizhi now understands a little bit about why the emperor wants to reorganize the army, but he didn't understand before, why should the army that can win the battle be reorganized? It turned out to prevent us from rebelling!
Li Huzi held a gun in his hand and said to Zhang Jizhi: "Commander, do it!" We'll all listen to you, it's a big deal to go back and be bandits, damn it. Li Yunzhong fought for him for two years and defeated many Qing troops, he treated us like this, it's good to leave early, I think he is Zhu Yuanzhang's virtue, he can only share hardships and hardships, not prosperity! Who doesn't want to do it, Lao Tzu killed him with his own hands! ”
When everyone thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's great slaughter, their hearts were awe-inspiring, and people who were not firm in their minds also stood up. No one wants to be a ghost.
Zhang Jizhi: "Let's hold our troops first, hundreds of thousands of people outside the city are not necessarily here to fight us, after you go back." Discipline the troops, don't make a mess......"
"Knock knock!"
"Oh no! The head of the regiment is not good! ”
Li Huzi saw that the person who came was his subordinate, and he knew that something was wrong. The first question was, "What are we doing?" Is there another soldier and horse outside the city? ”
The man cried, "No, Commander. Hundreds of cannons were placed outside, all of them new-style artillery. Commander, what's going on? What do they do for the sake of the Buddha? ”
Li Huzi muttered to himself: "Niang Xipi, they pulled the artillery of the whole army over, how can they fight!" ”
The people present all heard these words, as if frost had beaten an eggplant and stopped talking, there are a few new cannons in their army, how powerful they are, which one does not know the way, hundreds of cannons, this Tongzhou City does not support a round of bombardment, want to fight the artillery with flesh and blood, in addition to the flesh and blood is to be wiped out.
Many people were scared, looked at Zhang Jizhi and asked, "What should the military commander do?" ”
Kong Jie said angrily: "What else can I do, can I be arrested?" Beat! Let's rush out of the ground and go to the white-knuckle battle, I don't believe they will shoot at their own people! ”
"Nonsense!" Zhang Jizhi stopped Kong Jie, and said to everyone: "You don't have to panic, I am the sole responsibility to resist the reorganization this time, you are all coerced to act, if you want to kill, kill me!" ”
All the soldiers changed color together, and even those who were afraid of death also crumbled.
If everyone agrees with Zhang Jizhi's opinion, he will not be spine in the green forest in the future, after all, Zhang Jizhi is the famous head of the Tiandi Association of the three provinces of Jiangbei.
"So you're all here, so I'm looking for it!"
Li Huzi and the others listened to the familiar voice, looked at each other, and looked stunned as if they didn't believe that they hit their ears, and the person who reacted quickly leaned on the guardrail and looked down, and exclaimed: "It's Li Dashuai!" ”
Kong Jie rushed over, and when he saw it, it was Li Desheng, and scolded: "You dare to come with the surname Li!" Let's kill the sacrificial flag today! ”
Everyone was stunned again, looking at Kong Jie with admiration, thinking that Kong Er was stunned.
Li Desheng was not angry, and said with a smile: "What does Head Kong mean by this?" With your words, I can kill you! ”
Kong Jie sneered, just wanted to speak, felt that someone was attacking him from behind, and turned sideways, it turned out to be Zhang Jizhi, and immediately laughed and said: "Commander, what are you doing here, then Li Desheng is below!" ”
Zhang Jizhi said angrily: "It's you who I'm beating, bastard, you dare to be rude to Li Dashuai!" Why don't you go down and make amends! ”
"This ...... This! Kong Jie's face was ugly, he didn't understand what was going on with Zhang Jizhi, he had just discussed the rebellion, and now he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.
Li Desheng walked up slowly, stopped Zhang Jizhi, and said magnanimously: "Head Kong is drunk, I was joking just now, don't take it to heart!" ”
Li Huzi knew that things had changed, and said with a sneer: "What the big handsome said is that this Kong Er was stunned and knew that he was drinking, you see, the three empty jars on the ground were all drunk by him!" ”
"Then he doesn't drink a lot!" Li Desheng looked at Li Huzi and said with a smile: "Captain Li has a lot of wine, when you first fought in Qingdao, you carried the wine jar into battle, and I still remember that scene!" ”
Li Huzi bent down and said with a smile: "That's not to motivate the brothers to kill the enemy, nor is it that I deliberately drink on the battlefield!" ”
When everyone saw Li Desheng smiling as soon as he came up, they all let down their guard, and the quick-eyed man put away his gun, rolled his sleeves back, and buttoned his shirt, looking like a serious soldier.
Zhang Jizhi pulled Li Desheng to sit down, and said with a smile: "It's good that the handsome man is back, we are really worried about death." ”
Li Desheng played with the taste: "Do you know the origin of the army outside the city?" ”
"I don't know what to do!" Zhang Jizhi plans to install it to the end.
Li Desheng explained: "The First Regiment Army, the Eleventh Army of the Second Group Army, the Cavalry Army, the Fourth Group Army, and the Fifth Group Army, totaling 240,000 people, mobilized so many troops, and you also know who gave the order. ”
Everyone's hearts were cold, 100,000 people could still fight, with their equipment, it should not be difficult to break through and half of them, but more than 200,000 people obviously planned to annihilate them.
Zhang Jizhi asked in a trembling voice: "Dare to ask Dashuai, what crime have we committed, why does the emperor want to treat us like this, in terms of merit, from Xuzhou to Beijing, the brothers have all shed blood, please Dashuai to make me die convinced." ”
Zhang Jizhi was desperate, he didn't believe that more than 200,000 people were here to play, and mobilizing so many troops overnight shows how determined the emperor is.
Li Desheng's face slowly turned heavy, and he laughed at himself: "You must think that this official reported in front of the emperor, which is why this happened, right?" ”
None of the people answered, acquiescing to what Li Desheng said.
Li Desheng shook his head and said: "You only know one thing but you don't know the other, why does the emperor want to reorganize the army?" ”
Zhang Jizhi: "Isn't it to guard against us." ”
"Wrong!" Li Desheng said angrily: "What are you guys!" To put it mildly, if you want to clean you up, you have to wait until the whole country is unified, now Sichuan has not been pacified, there are Hui people in the northwest to make trouble, there are Hunan troops in the two lakes to resist, the Mongolian princes are committed to the Manchu Qing, and there are Manchu remnants in the northeast, such an enemy, how can the emperor harm himself and his siblings. ”
"Why are you going to transfer us away!" Li Huzi asked.
Li Desheng pointed to the north and whispered: "The emperor plans to invade Russia in the north, which is an existence at the same level as Britain and France!" ”
Kong Jie asked stupidly, "What does that have to do with us?" The emperor wants to beat the Russians, let's not say a word, beat the fuck! But why should the army be broken up and reorganized? (To be continued......)
