12-8 Veterans do not die

"The emperor is so ungrateful, he doesn't have any reason, he doesn't want to think about how this country came about, without the help of his brother-in-law, he can't even be a puppet for long." Peng Jingwei said angrily.

"Serving the Zhu family must be this ending, we have expected it a long time ago, but I didn't expect the emperor to be so anxious, the eldest princess and the queen mother can't get in touch, and the queen can't speak, it seems that the emperor is determined to take the old man's knife, since the knife is on the neck, let's start first." Peng Jingrong said that the girls and Sun Gang set their eyes on her together.

In fact, Peng Jingrong is very nervous, she is very good at doing the economy, but she is not so proficient in conspiracy and coup, not to mention that she will face the entire imperial court, and there is no turning back when she opens the bow, and her decision-making is related to the life and death of countless people, how can she not be cautious.

The lord is not at home, all the forces can't be integrated, the only thing that can be used is the three hundred family members in the house, but most of these three hundred people are redshirt retired disabled old and weak soldiers, don't look at the big shoulders and round waists on the surface, it is scary, in fact, many of them are blind, broken hands and legs, and the red shirt army camp outside the city is just an empty shelf, usable soldiers, but eight hundred people are still surrounded by the forbidden army, and it is difficult to even pass orders in, and there are two yamen, Nanchang and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, although there are many people, but it is difficult to use them effectively in a hurry, not to mention that Zhong Shouyong has been locked up, and I am afraid that this force will not work。

"The most important thing at the moment is to rescue the grandfather, as long as the master is there, it is easy to say Sun Gang, as far as you know, is the master still in Yingtianfu?" Peng Jingrong asked.

"That's right, the people from the South Factory have been monitoring the periphery, and there are no vehicles entering or leaving Ying Tianfu these days, and Grandpa must still be inside. The strength of the guards has been ascertained, and the periphery is one hundred and twenty Ying Tianfu Soap Li and three hundred Wucheng soldiers and horses, and the army is equipped with water and fire sticks and waist knives, bows and arrows, and in the middle are eighty Jinyi guards, equipped with one-eyed fire guns and embroidered spring knives, and in the innermost part are twelve Western Regions monks, whose equipment and strength are ominous, but it is expected that they are not the opponents of fire guns. Sun Gang introduced.

"In this way, the other party has a total of five hundred and twelve people, responsible for guarding the middle and lower level of weapons and equipment, except for the twelve monks, it is not enough to worry about the family members who can hold weapons in our house, there are a total of three hundred and twenty-two people in the cellar, some of them are thunderbolts and grenades, and the cannons can also be pushed out, and a few are more than enough to attack Ying Tianfu, I am afraid that after Ying Tianfu fights, the imperial court will mobilize the thirteen city gates one by one, and the 100,000 Beijing camp forbidden army will be dispatched, no matter how many firearms we have, it will be in vain." Peng Jingrong shook her head when she thought of the difference in strength.

"Don't worry, I can still use three thousand panzi in my hands, all equipped with revolvers, the city street battle is quite combative, can resist for a while, the Jubaomen guards will be the people of the south factory, and then the net can be opened, let us out of the city, even if it is safe, there are trains and airships in the south of the city, we can go wherever we want, the forbidden army can't stop it at all."

Sun Gang's words strengthened Peng Jingrong's confidence, she gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, let's fight, I personally led the family to attack Yingtianfu, Admiral Sun led Fanzi to make a rear team for us, and when people are rescued, they will join forces to fight out of the city, in order to distinguish between the enemy and me, they will wrap a red cloth on their right arm as identification." By the way, by the way, I have to rescue the eldest princess and the concubine, his uncle has long been displeased with this nephew, this time he will definitely not spare Admiral Sun, and this matter will be left to you. ”

Sun Gang said: "The situation on the eldest princess's side is quite special, I can only deal with the guards on the periphery, as for how to persuade the eldest princess to leave, I have to send a familiar person to the house, I see that the second lady is just right." ”

Peng Jingrong wants to personally lead the army, and the only person in the mansion who is familiar with Zeng Cheng is Peng Jingwei, thinking about what Sun Gang said, Peng Jingrong nodded and agreed.

After the discussion, Sun Gang took Peng Jingwei back to the south factory first, gathered people and horses, and went to the Zhenguo Mansion, and quietly opened the cellar, the boxes of thunderbolts and ammunition were moved out, the generals carefully wiped the butter on the weapon, pressed the bullet into the magazine, the steel knife gently sharpened the armor with oil stones, rubbed the veterans with dry cloth, and then retired in the Guogong Mansion, who knew that the sky fell on the emperor, and he actually wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey, forcing them to re-wear the robes, the veterans were actually not old, the oldest was only forty years old, but they were wounded, and they could no longer go on expeditions with the army, and they could only do some light work, but they did not neglect the back garden of the Wuyi Guogong Mansion, there was a shooting range, and everyone had to shoot every monthIf the training is really fought, it will not be a problem to deal with the two forbidden troops.

The veterans were armed, Peng Jingrong, who was dressed in military uniform, came over and saluted them one by one, saying that there would inevitably be casualties in this operation, which really affected everyone. For a while, the atmosphere was very touching, and several little girls couldn't help crying.

There are not many female dependents in the family, except for the Peng sisters and Liu Xiaomei, Li Xiangjun, Han Xueer's mother and daughter and Xue Xiangying, there is only a group of old mothers, who know that they can only die if they stay, and Peng Jingrong can only be ruthless and not take them, but open the vault, and each of them has a large amount of silver, so that they can escape.

The three hundred generals dressed up for the women, and the dependents also put on protective soft armor and daggers, but suddenly there was an unexpected situation, Han Xueer resisted death, and did not want to escape with everyone, saying that she was already a monk, and she dared to make trouble at this juncture, Peng Jingrong hated her teeth and made her eyes itch, making people stunned, and Han Xueer loaded the car with the child.

In the early spring of Nanjing, there are still some spring cold, the husband who walks on the stone road is tightly covered with cotton jackets, although the sky is not bright, the hard-working businessman has already pushed the cart to drive the morning market, went to grind tofu to make breakfast stalls, and also ushered in the first wave of business, the Jinyi guards who performed surveillance tasks at the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion did not wait for the arrival of the successor guys, and then they gave their lives in sleepy eyes, and then everyone saw the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion open, and hundreds of armor soldiers were forced to walk towards the direction of Yingtianfu Ya from inside.

The distance between the Zhenguo Mansion and the Yingtianfu is not too far, only three or four blocks, three hundred veterans, although the number is very small, but the momentum is pressing, the people on the road are all panicked to dodge, give way to a smooth road for them, but on the way must pass through a market, this will be the market has gathered some vegetable sellers and people who buy fresh vegetables as soon as possible, there are many stalls on the road, the veterans can't help but slow down their pace, just at this time, someone on the roof of the nearby house suddenly shouted: "Zhenguo Gong conspired against Jinyiwei, ordered to beg the thief!" Then a row of firebolts emerged, and it turned out that the officers and soldiers had already set up an ambush here.

"It's not good to retreat!" Peng Jingrong understood the plan, and hurriedly ordered a retreat, but it was too late, the officers and soldiers on the roof were condescending, and the bullets rained down, fortunately, they used the old-fashioned single fire, the guns were not high, and the soldiers were not well trained, so they did not cause too many casualties to the people and horses of the Zhenguo Mansion, but were beaten down by the veterans with thunderbolts, and the people on the street were immediately frightened when they saw this battle, and fled everywhere, and were injured a lot by mistake for a while.

The veterans were well-trained, threw a few smoke bombs and withdrew to the previous intersection, but at this time, there were also chasing soldiers from behind, looking at the uniforms of the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the veterans could only smash open the shops next to them, rush in, climb to the top of the building, shoot, condescendingly, and suppress the attack of the officers and soldiers with thunderbolts.

"It's not a way to fight like this, you have to let the master know that we have already done it!" Peng Jingrong held a firearm in her hand to direct the advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and when she saw that the battle had reached a stalemate, she ordered people to push the artillery over and shoot at the wall, trying to penetrate the house and attack the government from another way. Who knew that after passing through the back wall, there were also officers and soldiers on the other side, and the sound of killing was bursting with bullets, and the bricks on the wall were flying wildly.

The more the enemy fights, the more he looks, the other party's livery has the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, and the Jinyi Guard, it seems that the emperor has used all the people and horses that can be mobilized, and the three layers here and the outer three layers can't be finished no matter how they fight.

The streets were filled with gunsmoke, the officers and soldiers brought deer barricades to block the road, and piled bags of rice on the road with bags of rice that were brought out of the rice shops, and the people hid behind them without even showing their heads, so they opened fire, although the veterans were fierce in fire, but they could not withstand the soldiers' more bullets, each of them brought 100 bullets, the front two leather magazines each had 30, and the rear waist had 40 magazines, and now the 40 on the back waist had been exhausted, and a lot of grenades were thrown, but they still could not break through the defense line of the officers and men.

The accuracy of the officers and men's shooting was very poor, but they could not stand the large number of guns, many bullets and rain of bullets, the veterans who fought intensively, the houses defended by bullet holes were everywhere, the windows were scattered, and the people were suppressed behind the brick walls, and they could only look at the loopholes and make a few hits, and in this way, there were still many casualties, and there were only about 200 veterans left of the 300 veterans.

"It's not a way to go on like this, if people don't rescue it, let's run out first, don't do it quickly, send a signal to Sun Gang and let Nanchang answer." Peng Jingrong ordered: A soldier took out a signal flare, bowed down, ran to the roof and shot it, but the signal flare was lifted into the air for a long time, and there was still no shadow of reinforcements.

The battle escalated further, the officers and soldiers also pushed cannons, carried bazookas, and pushed forward room by room, the streets were turned into rubble, and the veterans fell in a pool of blood one by one, but their spirit of seeing death as if they were at home also deeply shocked the other side, a veteran was wounded and captured, and in the face of seven or eight firearms, he still smiled and pulled the grenade, and killed a group of remaining veterans on the spot。

Yuan Chengzhi, who reported the battle situation to the general headquarters of the officers and soldiers, and was responsible for the deployment of troops, was furious, and ordered the Jinyi Guard to supervise the battle, and those who dared to retreat were immediately beheaded, and those who discarded their weapons were immediately beheaded, and their subordinates all sighed, Yuan Shaomarshal was quite a father, and the army was harsh, but this order was really immediate, and the pressure on the veterans was even greater, and only the last few houses were left to guard.
