Chapter 36: The Loss of the East City
"Official, spare your life!"
"you!"
"Let go of my lady!"
"Don't, let go of me, let go of my ......"
In the eyes of the people of Gaoyao City, Xiao Cun, who was dressed in military uniforms, was like a devil from hell, and came to the world with boundless killing.
As the commander of the Han Army with a blue flag, Xiao Inventory had long been holding back his anger when he was in Guangzhou City, and now that he has arrived in Gaoyao City, he has an excuse to exterminate the anti-thieves, Xiao Inventory is really excited, and he likes to watch others struggle before they die.
"This fucking little girl's skin is still very strong! Brothers, hold her down for me. ”
Xiao Stock's minions immediately showed a cruel smile, holding down the struggling young woman, how could the weak woman who was held down be able to break free from the control of a few big men, and could only watch Xiao Inventory reveal the shameful object, and pounce on himself fiercely, hearing the smug and crazy laughter of these robbers.
The husband, who was pressed by the two of them on the side, watched his wife being abused in front of him, his eyes were split, and he broke free of control for a while, and rushed towards Xiao Dian with a roar.
But he was greeted by a cold blade, and the warm blood splashed Xiao Stock's face, but it made his face even more hideous and hateful.
The voices of women's resistance, the beastly roars of men, the tragedy of the world played out here, and finally in a cry of sorrow, it all ended.
Xiao Dian got up from the dead woman under him with a gloomy face, fastened his belt, pulled out the blood-stained knife from the man's body, and spat on the corpse with disdain.
"Brothers, take everything you can and follow me to the next house."
All the valuable things in the house were quickly snatched up, and after Xiao Dian and the others left, only the bare house and the two corpses were lying quietly on the ground.
Just when Xiao Dian was happily preparing to go to the next place to wreak havoc, a deafening sound suddenly came from the direction of Dongcheng, and the thunderbolt sounded for a while and then quieted down, but the shouting and killing did not stop, on the contrary, the sound was louder, and it seemed that there were two soldiers and horses fighting desperately.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The sound of gunpowder explosion continued, Xiao Stock's face tightened, and then a thought rose in his mind.
Did the people of the city rebel?
"Gather the team and rush to the East City."
Originally, he was going to slowly slaughter the people in the city, but now it seems that he is going to go on a killing spree.
The banner mutiny that was rushing to the east city was even more excited, because they knew that only they had a fire gun in the Han army flag in the city, and there was definitely no one else except them. And with a gun, the meaning is very different.
Because Guangdong does not produce medicine, and most of the gunpowder in the army is transferred from the north, there are rules for the flag soldiers under the Pingnan and Jingnan domains to use guns, and they are not allowed to use guns unless they meet the Ming army, so the sound of guns means that the flag soldiers are not suppressing the people or small bandits in the city, but fighting bravely with the Ming army.
There is a Ming army in Gaoyao City, and this city must be slaughtered, which is a great achievement! As for the brothers in Dongcheng, they must have more points, if they didn't act so similarly, how could they wash the city and make a fortune so upright.
When Xiao Inventory rushed to Dongcheng, the gunfire never stopped, and he secretly scolded the soldiers in Dongcheng for using firearms indiscriminately, they didn't know that gunpowder configuration was not easy, and it cost a lot of money to consume so much!
Damn, when I arrive, I must teach you rabbit cubs a good lesson.
I thought about it again, but I smiled, this gun is well played, the sound of the gun, the consumption of this medicine is an indescribable thing, just make up for the hole of the hundreds of catties of medicine, and then send someone to ask the guy in Deqing if he wants the medicine, if he wants, he will sell him a few hundred catties, and report the battle damage together.
........
Hearing the sound of the gun, Shan Haitao, the commander of the Qianqian General of the Green Battalion who was stationed in Xicheng, was also excited, pulled out his saber and pointed at Dongcheng, where the sound of gunning, wanted to take his battalion soldiers to join in the fun. The flag soldiers "suppress the thieves", his battalion soldiers naturally can't do it, this will work harder, there will always be benefits to share the profits afterwards, no matter how bad it is, behave better, and when the city will be washed, the flag soldiers will not look at them too much to obstruct their eyes, so that they will not lose even a few bones. Besides, the big rich people in the city all live in the east city, and there is more oil and water in that land than in the poor nest of the west city.
A group of green battalion soldiers who were busy blackmailing the people heard the shouts of their own thousand presidents, and they rushed out one by one, shouting and shouting to go to Dongcheng to "help the war"
Shan Haitao ordered his subordinates with a straight face: "You are here to guard the west city gate, you are only allowed to enter and not to go out, without my order, even you can't let him out of the city!" ”
Hearing the order, Shan Haitao's subordinates bowed violently and replied heavily: "Don't worry, my lord!" There is a lowly position, even a fly will not want to fly out of this high city! ”
"Okay, brothers, let's go to Dongcheng to eat meat."
As soon as he finished saying this, he was about to turn around and set off, but the whole person was stunned again, because Shan Haitao clearly heard an explosion that was louder than the sound of a gun from the Dongcheng side, and then someone vaguely seemed to be shouting "The Ming army is coming, the Ming army is coming!" ”
What Ming army is coming?
Shan Haitao and the second monk were confused: Is there really a Ming army in the city?
Thinking of this, Haitao broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted to his equally confused subordinates: "Everyone obey my orders and quickly go to Dongcheng to support." ”
……
The county seat of Gaoyao is not large, unlike the four gates of Fucheng, but only two gates of east and west. There are green battalion soldiers stationed at the east gate, and the people dare not be neighbors with the battalion soldiers, so they consciously live in the west city, and only those big families who have a relationship with the battalion soldiers or have someone in the family who is an official dare to live in the east city.
The green battalion soldiers guarding the city looked at the scene of the fire in the east city, and kicked the broken bricks on the wall angrily, and said with resentment and jealousy in their tones: "Damn, those dogs are burning and looting in the city, but our brothers have to guard the broken city, and they can't get any oil and water, which is really fucking unfair." ”
"Okay, don't complain, who called us green battalion soldiers, we can't afford to provoke these masters of the blue flag Han army, just bear with it, didn't we say that we would be rewarded when it was over." Hold on to the gates, and don't let the people leave the gates.
"What's the matter, I can't figure it out, dumb?"
Seeing that his companion did not answer him, the green battalion soldier who persuaded him couldn't help frowning and looked at him, only to find that he had a shocked expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"That, that...... Over there! ”
"What are you kid doing ......?"
The green battalion soldier looked in the direction of his companion's finger, and before he could finish his words, he swallowed all in his throat, and at the horizon not far from Gaoyao City, a large number of black-pressed heads rushed towards the city gate.
"Enemy, enemy attack!"
"Bang!"
This loyal green battalion soldier did not bring any changes, Wang Wu saw that he was discovered by the defenders on the city wall, and the pace of the forward attack was a little faster, there was no one on the city wall at all, and under the fire of the flintlock pistol of the team led by Wang Wu, no one dared to show his head at all.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready, withdraw!"
With a deafening explosion, the huge city gate turned into sawdust under the explosives of the vanguard blasting team, and the city gate that had been guarding Gaoyao City for more than ten years collapsed under the terrified eyes of the Qing army inside.
"Kill!"
Seeing that the city wall fell, Wang Wu's men and horses came out of the cage like lions, facing a few Qing troops standing at the gate of the city, and learned about their lives with a few random shots, which easily made Wang Wu feel incredible, but he didn't expect to attack the city so easily.
"Take control of the gates quickly!"
When the blue flag Han army Qian Zong Xiao Inventory rushed to Dongcheng with men and horses, waiting for them was the Yang Jiajun who was waiting for them solemnly, and the flintlock pistols fired in a row carried the whistling sound of death, taking away the lives of a large number of flag soldiers.
And in order to deter, Yang An ordered the troops to use the home-made grenades he developed, and threw seven or eight into the crowd of flag soldiers, and the iron nails flew towards the flag soldiers with the sound of explosions, knocking down one piece in an instant.
The blue flag Han army has never seen such a firearm, seeing that this thing like a firecracker is so powerful, they were all frightened, but even so, these blue flag Han army are all veterans of a hundred battles from Liaodong, followed by Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi fought countless battles, everyone has practiced a good ability, plus as a Han army flag man, he usually regards himself as a flag person, and he has long not regarded himself as a Han person, although he was surprised, but he did not have the slightest fear, but he hated the same enemy, and everyone fought bravely, In addition, some of them held firearms in their hands and wore cotton armor on their bodies, so that the remnants of the blue-flaged Han army still did not collapse in fright, but instead provoked their ferocity and launched an attack on Yang An's troops.
But this did not change the outcome, and Xiao Stock's men only caused some small losses to Yang An's men, but Yang An's troops were condescending on the city wall, and their weapons were much more advanced than those of the Qing army, and it didn't take long to kill the Han army with the blue flag.
Seeing the ferocity of Yang An's troops, Xiao Cun was frightened and hurriedly fled back with the remaining men and horses, and in just a short period of time, there were only dozens of people left with Xiao Stock.
Of course, Yang An would not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs, and chased after the back of the Han army with the blue flag and slaughtered it recklessly.
