Section 16 Siege
Along the way, soldiers were arranged to be stationed to protect warehouses and post stations, and when they marched to Guide Mansion, Xu Ping had less than 400 soldiers left around him, and Sun Kewang had more than 100 men left.
"Acquire a city with 500 men?" Sun Kewang and Xu Ping walked side by side on the avenue, and there were people stopping to watch this army along the way, and the people on the roadside also asked from time to time:
"Is it a good man who broke into the camp?"
"Are you going to open a warehouse to release grain?"
Along the way, Xu Ping hung the list to calm the people, and sent people to guide the hungry people to the porridge factory set up by Chuang Ying to receive food, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to open a warehouse and release grain without permission. Some of Xu Ping's subordinates were in charge of explanation, and they told the people that from now on they would not have to worry about the imperial court's grain collection team, but if they really needed food for emergency relief, they would still be registered with the left-behind officials who broke into the camp in the city.
"It's just a small Guide to Germany," Xu Ping was in a hurry to launch an attack on Guide Mansion because he felt that time was pressed and he could not waste a winter waiting for the officers and soldiers to recover. At the same time, he believed that although the Chuang army was weak, the Bianjun army was also weak. After the battle of the county, the Ming army was already a bird with a frightened bow, and this time after entering the Guide Mansion, the people welcomed it, and the Ming army had no fighting spirit along the way. Once the city is invaded, even if there are only a few hundred subordinates, even if there are tens of thousands of enemy troops on the opposite side, it is just a rabble that can be dispersed by a volley: "Emperor Taizu Gao, with dozens of people out of Haozhou, defeated 20,000 prisoners in the first battle." β
"Haha," Sun Kewang laughed: "Under the thousand autumns, how many Emperor Taizu Gao?" β
Xu Ping pondered for a while, and then said: "Liu Yu, the lord of the Song Dynasty, seventeen people raised troops, went straight to Jiankang, and took all the Jiangnan. β
"Okay, okay." Sun Kewang laughed unabated: "There are two, but I remember that there were more than seventeen people when Liu Jinu arrived at Jiankang City." β
"So I took four hundred men instead of seventeen." Xu Ping said with a smile: "What's more, how can it be compared with Jiankang in the small town of Deyuer?" β
"Yes, besides, if it's four hundred, I can lend you a hundred people here."
Xu Ping and Sun Kewang could already see the dense joint venture outside Guide City.
At this time, Sun Kewang asked again: "How is the general inquiring about the situation in Guide City?" β
In addition to the fact that there are a few places in the moat that are relatively easy to smuggle into, Xu Ping also knows the weapons and equipment in the city well, and even knows how many steps there are from the city gate to the prefect's yamen, and as for the number of stone steps leading to the ground from each city gate, he can also clearly explore in order to prepare for a smear sneak attack. Sun Kewang listened to it and praised it: "That Brother Chen really has two hands. β
"This is the advantage of having subordinates, when Brother Chen didn't come before, I touched the city every time," Xu Ping sighed: "Finally, it is my turn to stay outside the city and wait for the fireworks signal safely." β
"Do you want my men to do it?" Sun Kewang asked, he also contacted some people in the city, but Xu Ping did not let Chen Zhe and the people contacted by Sun Kewang cooperate, but acted separately: "Brother Chen is so well prepared, I think it is more certain for him to do it." β
"I think Brother Sun has no problem on his side," Xu Ping discussed the two plans to seize the city gate in detail with Sun Kewang, and he insisted that Sun Kewang's people start it first: "If there is an accident, Brother Chen will naturally do it at night." β
"Why is the general so cautious, is he afraid that Brother Chen will make a mistake?"
"I'm not afraid of 10,000 things, I'm afraid of just in case, if there is really anything wrong, I have to go in and steal the city gate again."
While the two were talking and laughing, there were already rebels from outside the city rushing towards them.
After Zhang Xianbao learned that there were hundreds of soldiers with eagle flags who broke into the camp arrived, he took many leaders outside the city to greet them, these people have been circling in Guide Mansion all their lives, and Yu Dong, who escaped from Kaifeng Mansion, is like an invincible god of war to them, and the name of the hero who broke into the camp is of course even more thunderous.
"This General Xu is the number two person in the camp, the eldest disciple of Huang Hou." Zhang Xianbao turned over and dismounted after seeing the infantry who broke into the camp from afar, even if it was just a subordinate general under Xu Ping, it was a powerful character who could scare Yu Dong into fleeing. Many of the other leaders who followed Zhang Xianbao had similar thoughts, waiting respectfully on both sides of the road.
When they came to greet the elite of the camp, these leaders of the rebel army put on the best armor, and they were full of desire to leave a good impression on these officers and soldiers who broke into the camp. Zhang Xianbao wore a captured leather helmet, a heart shield sewn on his clothes, and several henchmen and guards around him wore riding boots and pulp pants.
But Zhang Xianbao saw that no one in this team was armoured, not even a war horse, and everyone was wearing a hat and the same green cloth shorts. The line was about five people, and the soldiers at the head of the line were armed with steel-edged spears. In addition to a belt, the remaining soldiers also had a belt that hung diagonally over the shoulder, on which some small pockets (gunpowder and buckshot were hung inside), and on the straight belt around the waist hung a gourd on the right side, a long dagger with a sheath on the left (actually a bayonet, Zhang Xianbao did not know), and a fire gun on his back,
Zhang Xianbao has been engaged in the anti-grain movement for many years, and Zhang Xianbao's method of judging the combat effectiveness of officers and men has always been to observe the clothes and armor of the other side.
The clothes on the army in front of him are almost identical, the placement of belts and equipment, at first glance, it looks like a person (in the eyes of a peasant in the late Ming Dynasty), Zhang Xianbao immediately realized the strength of the other party, and the other leaders of the rebel army also felt the same way. Zhang Xianbao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and as soon as he stepped forward, he saw the leader on the opposite side raise his left forearm, and then the drum behind this person first sounded twice and then stopped abruptly.
At the same time as the drums disappeared, Zhang Xianbao felt as if the army of hundreds of people had been recited by some immortal, and they were suddenly nailed to the ground without moving. Closer to it, the expressions on the faces of these soldiers seemed to be carved out of a mold, and everyone in the rebel generals felt as if an invisible murderous aura was rising from these soldiers, enveloping the silent troops.
The camp-breaker who raised his hand just now looked to be in his twenties, and he was dressed no different from the rest of the army, except for the certain wide-brimmed felt hat he wore on his head instead of a hat, and there was another person standing next to this person who also wore a Lin Chong-style felt hat instead of a hat, and this person looked a little older, but only about thirty.
"I can hope for my grandson." The slightly older young general opened his mouth and said that he had not given the Guide Righteous Army a chance to ask questions.
Hearing that it was the famous Xiying San, Zhang Xianbao suddenly felt that his knees were weak, and at this time, a few mountain kings who had never seen the world had already knelt down behind him, and they shouted one after another: "I've seen Sun Sanye." β
"This is the Great General." Sun Kewang stretched out his hand to Xu Ping next to him.
Xu Ping took a quick step forward and helped up Zhang Xianbao, who was already kneeling on the ground to greet him: "What is this brother called?" β
"Small...... Small Zhang ...... Zhang Bao. Zhang Xianbao swallowed the word in the middle of his name, he looked at Sun Kewang, and then at Xu Ping, and finally became a little suspicious: "General, Sun Sanye is dressed so inconspicuously, and he doesn't ride a horse...... The little ones are really eye-catching. β
"Inconspicuous?" Xu Ping's tone was a little surprised, and he reached out and touched the felt hat on his head: "I didn't bring a hat, every time the officers and soldiers will greet me with bows and arrows for this." β
"The general said that he finally had the opportunity to come to Germany once, so he wanted to visit the scenery on foot." Sun Kewang was always half a position behind Xu Ping, and his application was very respectful.
"But it's not as gracious as your brothers, and they're waiting for us here, how is this good." Xu Ping's face was full of smiles, and he stretched out his hand to wrap his arm around Zhang Xianbao: "Let's go to Guide and talk about it, we don't have to stand here and blow the wind." β
"Guide ......" Zhang Xianbao said in surprise: "Enter Guide? But Guide is still in the hands of dog officers and soldiers. β
"Ah-" Xu Ping seemed to be taken aback: "Didn't you say that tens of thousands of righteous soldiers came to return to Germany?" And you came here two days ago, why didn't you return to Germany? β
Sun Kewang also looked incredulous: "Aren't there the people of the dog prefect in Guide City?" Could it be that Yu Dong's guy ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and came back? β
"Of course...... No. Zhang Xianbao's face was flushed, and the more he snorted, the quieter his voice became.
Another leader of the rebel army looked at the people behind Xu Ping and Sun Kewang, and couldn't help but ask, "General, Sun Sanye, where is your army?" β
"What army?" Sun Kewang asked casually, followed by an "oh" sound, and explained: "The general heard that tens of thousands of righteous troops were coming to Germany, and we all felt that it was time to go down, so I brought these guards with me. β
These leaders of the rebel army who were close to Guide were speechless for a moment, but Xu Ping still had a relaxed expression: "How many people are there in Guide City?" Who is the guard? β
The surrounding rebel generals told Xu Ping that there were indeed only some civilians in the city who had just been armed, and the guard general was of course the prefect's henchman Yang Jiangyi, Xu Ping had known this person for a long time, but he shook his head and said: "I have never heard of it." β
"How can this kind of nameless rat convince the public?" Sun Kewang lost no time on the side and shouted: "Let's wait for the general to break the city, let's go into the city to talk, I'm afraid the sons and daughters are a little tired along the way." He looked at Zhang Xianbao and asked this person who was obviously the head of everyone: "Brother Zhang's name is a little unfamiliar, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know what Brother Zhang's name is in my camp?" β
Zhang Xianbao reported his generalissimo to Germany, and Sun Kewang immediately shouted: "Isn't that Brother Zhang's tuba a treasure?" No wonder I don't know, oops, is Brother Zhang worried that it will make me look bad? What's so important about this person's name being repeated? We are not the emperor Lao Tzu, what are you avoiding to hide? β
Looking at Xu Ping and Sun Kewang's indifferent looks, the person behind Zhang Xianbao couldn't help but ask, "Just take five hundred people with you?" β
"Isn't that enough?" Sun Kewang sneered: "With the power of the great general Huwei, who can resist?" β
Xu Ping waved his hand, and the drums of the guards battalion sounded again, and the soldiers marched forward neatly, their movements coordinated as if they were one person.
Seeing that the other leaders of the rebel army were far behind, Xu Ping whispered to Sun Kewang: "The last sentence just now seems to be too full, in case you can't take it for a while, even if Brother Chen makes a move at night, I'm afraid the effect of this deterrence will be worse than one percent." β
"It's just a difference of one percent, and if it goes down in a fight, it's not a little bit better." On the way here, Sun Kewang and Xu Ping had already discussed that they wanted to give these rebels who gathered near Guide a dismount. In addition, there are many people in this Xu Ping who feel that they are all grass cowards, if they feel that they have contributed a lot, they will not show the true colors of the mountain king, and Sun Kewang has nothing to do with this, but Xu Ping is not willing to wait for these people to loot the people before killing people, and would rather prevent it in advance.
In front of the countless defenders on the city wall of Guide, the 400 officers and soldiers of the Guards Battalion were converted into horizontal shots, and stood in line behind Xu Ping and Sun Kewang.
Yang Jiang frowned, staring at the famous eagle flag swaying in the wind, this flag was already known to everyone in Henan, Yang Jiang felt his breathing become heavy, he straightened his chest slightly unobtrusively, struggling to get rid of the unbearable pressure. As General Yang took a deep breath, he noticed the soldiers around him, everyone staring intently at the flag under the city.
"I really wronged Brother Sun just now." When he walked to the city gate tower, Xu Ping apologized for Sun Kewang's words just now.
Today, Sun Kewang seemed to have great respect for Xu Ping in front of everyone, and he must be called "General", which is also one of the strategies discussed by the two in advance. β
Seeing that he was about to come within the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, Xu Ping held his pace and asked one last question before raising his head and shouting: "Have you told them not to kill people as much as possible?" β
"Of course, if a person doesn't die, that's the most shocking thing." Sun Kewang replied.
β¦β¦
"In Xia Xu Ping, where is General Yang? Please come out and answer. β
As this shout came from the city, the surrounding soldiers suddenly made a loud noise like a frying pan, and Yang Jiang heard the sound of his two sons gasping at the same time behind him. The process of answering the city head last time made Yang Jiangyi very dissatisfied with himself, and he secretly decided that if he had such an opportunity again, he must be calm and calm, and he could not lose the face of the court, let alone let the army's heart waver. But after hearing Xu Ping's words, Yang Jiang suddenly couldn't make a sound again.
"What should I say?" Yang Jiang was silent, his mind racing rapidly, wondering how not to fall in front of this mighty giant who had disturbed Henan to the ground.
Perhaps it was Yang Jiangyi's hesitation that made the other party feel a little rude, and the other person who was standing one step behind Xu Ping suddenly jumped forward, stretched out his arms and pointed towards the city tower, accompanied by a loud shout: "Rats, descend early!" β
Although the person's face was not clear to see, even from such a distance, Yang Jiangyi could feel the fierce aura of that person's body coming towards him, and with the finger of that big man, Yang Jiangyi couldn't help but lean back, as if the other party's finger poked directly into his face.
"Early drop? If I don't surrender at once, will you wash the city? This question suddenly floated in Yang Jiangyi's mind.
- The youngest son was recruited as a son-in-law by the prefect;
- The prefect has been treating me well all these years;
- But there are so many relatives and friends in the city;
- A giant like Xu Ping, even if it is ten, I can't keep it;
- What if the townsfolk in the city and countryside are angered and they want to slaughter the city?
Countless thoughts came one after another, and this second seemed like a century long for Yang Jiangyi.
The cry of pain from behind woke Yang Jiangyi from his contemplation, and the sound made Yang Jiangyi shudder, followed by another cry of pain, it sounded like the voice of his second son, and the previous one seemed to be very familiar.
As soon as Yang Jiang looked back, he saw Tang Shouzhong's completely distorted face, and a big fist had already arrived in front of him......
This punch hit Yang Jiang with a gold star in front of him, tears and snot spurted out together, and then the stomach seemed to be hit again, Yang Jiang felt the world spinning, and when he wanted to fall on the ground, Tang Shouzhong's voice behind his head had changed tone:
"Brothers, come down, don't give your life to Ren Gouguan, a Jiangxi Yankee, we have to think about it for our family."
Dubbing for this shouting god is countless panicked shouts, and blockbuster slogans of "killing officials and rebelling" and "facing the king, no food".
"Tang Shouzhong, you unrighteous bastard......" Yang Jiangyi, who had fainted, failed to pronounce the words in his heart: "I didn't say no, don't I have to think about it......"
When the city was in chaos, Xu Ping walked to the large group of rebel generals waiting behind the guard camp: "The city is broken, I don't want to enter this Guide City, I don't think the army will go in, you brothers go and settle your subordinates first, General Sun and I will go to accept the Yan Yamen to prepare a celebration banquet, and after a while, we will send someone to invite everyone to go in and drink, and we will talk in Guide City." β
Behind Xu Ping, in front of the queue of 400 soldiers of the Guards Battalion, the drawbridge of Guide fell with a bang, and then the city gate was opened......
After entering the city, two people who were tied up with flowers were dragged in front of Xu Ping and Sun Kewang, these two people were Ren Botong and Yang Jiangyi, who were all about virtue and martial arts.
Guide head catcher Shi Wenxi held the rope tied to Ren Botong's body, his face was full of fierceness, and reported to Xu Ping: "General, this dog official wants to set fire to himself, trying to burn the entire yamen. β
Ren Botong looked up at the sky without saying a word, and Yang Jiangyi, who was tied next to him, begged Xu Ping bitterly, and tried his best to confess that he and his in-laws Weng Ren Governor had no heart to fight against the army, and Tang Daxia, who brought him to make meritorious contributions, was upset when he heard it, and kicked him hard: "Dog thief, for a daughter-in-law, I want the whole city and countryside to give this dog official a funeral!" β

Recently, I found out that blogging is also good, it's like a diary, maybe it can be used as material in the future, at least it can be shown to authors who are interested in taking a different path on the Internet, so that they can anticipate the difficulties ahead.
By the way, seeing a few readers who have defended me, my suggestion is that it is better to ignore those statements, even if they claim that they dictated the "Plagiarism", I am nothing more than plagiarism; Or that I wrote "Tiger Wolf" just to scold readers, and don't argue. I hope this will work in my favor, because they will be lonely when they have no opponents, and gradually they will not come again.
