Chapter 15: The Siege

In the city of Luoding, a bleak breeze blew, the dilapidated houses were gray bricks, the sky and the streets were also dyed with dull colors, and the dead branches of fallen leaves, flying dust and waste paper added to the gloomy mood. The cold wind swept through the long, narrow streets, carrying away a large area of sorrow.

Since the war between the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Qing court, the two sides fought in Guangzhou for seven or eight years, and none of the prefectures and counties were not spared military disasters, and the Qing army had the habit of slaughtering the city after occupying the city, one was to deter the opponent, and the other was to reduce the Han population, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had only one million people, and the Han people were dozens of times that of them. Therefore, after the Qing army entered the city of Guangzhou, it was to kill people when they saw it, whether it was the old man or the baby or the woman, they were all slaughtered by the Qing army, and the killing was a river of blood, killing more than 700,000 people in Guangzhou, making the huge city of Guangzhou empty, and its tragedy was not lower than the ten days of Yangzhou and the three massacres in Jiading.

The provincial capital is still like this, and the rest of the places can naturally be imagined, compared to Luoding is still good, at least the Qing army did not massacre the city, making Luoding City the only city in Luoding Prefecture that is still inhabited, which is probably related to the need for the Qing army to enslave the people, otherwise what they eat and drink, and where do they drive the people.

Feng Yuyong, the general manager of the green camp, looked at the dilapidated streets, the few pedestrians on the streets, and the dilapidated houses everywhere, all of which revealed a cold and desolate dead atmosphere, which made people feel more and more bored.

"Rub down your eighteen-born ancestors! Assign Lao Tzu to this place where birds don't, give your mother a suffocation, don't let Lao Tzu find a chance, or I'll kill your mother! ”

"My lord, be careful!"

Liu Hongyin, the general who accompanied him on the side, was immediately frightened and persuaded: "My lord, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

Liu Hongyin didn't say it, but as soon as he said this, it was like adding fuel to the fire, looking at the empty ghost street in front of him, Feng Yuyong suddenly became angry, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn, he will only bully us Jiangxi soldiers, transfer us to this shitty place, and enjoy ourselves in Guangzhou City, it's really fucking bullying." ”

Liu Hongyin, who was on the side, sighed slightly, "Who calls someone else a vassal king, our little arms can't twist our thighs, don't be bored, don't let the chief soldier think of a way in Guangzhou, see if you can transfer the adult back." ”

"Damn, when we first laid down Chaozhou City, our Jiangxi soldiers had no fewer deaths, if it wasn't for our help, would they be able to take Chaozhou, in the end, they ate meat and drank soup, and they didn't even give us bones to gnaw, it's just too disdainful of our Jiangxi soldiers as people."

When he thought of this, Feng Yuyong's teeth itched with hatred.

Liu Hongyin pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to no longer hand over the envelope and ask for official documents?" ”

Hearing this, Feng Yuyong replied angrily: "Hand over a fart official document, Geng Jimao really wants to agree to transfer our defense, and he won't transfer us here." ”

"Tell the brothers to cheer up and investigate carefully, if Li Ben's team comes back, don't give Lao Tzu his life, when the time comes, we will run directly to Guangzhou City, his mother's mother, don't give Lao Tzu benefits and want Lao Tzu to sell his life, it's really beautiful."

At this moment, a violent gong sound came from the east gate, Feng Yuyong's face changed, and he secretly said in his heart, "Ge Laozi, you won't let my crow's mouth say it!" ”

Then a green battalion soldier on a horse rushed to Feng Yuyong and reported: "Lord Qian, a small group of Ming troops appeared at the east gate, and there were about a hundred people. ”

"Let's go, let's go and see."

Feng Yuyong's face changed slightly, and he immediately pulled Liu Hongyin on the side and rode towards the east gate.

……

On the wall of Luoding, Feng Yuyong looked at the army below wearing tattered Ming army uniforms, and after looking at the weapons in everyone's hands, there was no trace of worry about being attacked on his face, but his face was full of excitement, and he grabbed Liu Hongyin's shoulder and said excitedly: "Old Liu, our credit is here!" You will be able to go back to Guangzhou City to enjoy it soon. ”

"Why do you say that, my lord!"

"Come and see" Feng Yuyong pointed to the approaching Ming army below, and explained with a smile: "You see that although they are wearing Li Ben's military uniform, their clothes are tattered, and all the weapons in their hands are not complete, most of them don't even have cloth armor, this should be the righteous army left after Li Ben's thief fled before, they don't even have siege equipment, if we capture them, and then report that they have captured the elite of Li Ben's thief, and when the time comes, Geng Jimao just doesn't want to transfer us back and have to do this." ”

"These bandits are really sleepy to deliver pillows." Feng Yuyong looked at the people below as if he was looking at another delicious meal, which could be swallowed at any time.

"Quick, order all the men to gather at the east gate, and annihilate them when they come in."

"Yes, Mr. Chi!"

With Feng Yuyong's order, the city walls of Luoding City suddenly became busy, and there were officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion bending over everywhere, starting a fierce battle at any time.

The autumn wind is bleak, under the gloomy dusk, the gray sky seems to be pressed down, a group of birds hovering above everyone's heads, from time to time there is a rapid and uneasy chirp, the tense atmosphere is so dull that it is suffocating, on a small hill in the east of the city, Yang An regretfully put down the telescope in his hand, he has already seen the towering human head on the city wall, after all, it is impossible for more than 100 people to completely conceal their actions, and Yang An does not want to hide their whereabouts, the reaction of the green battalion soldiers is as he expected.

Yang An didn't think about sneaking into Luoding City quietly, but it was very difficult, and even if they sneaked in, their numbers were not advantageous, as long as the green camp army inside was organized, then they would definitely be defeated, and the casualties would definitely be huge.

"According to the plan that was previously discussed."

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to you!"

Luo Daquan, who was considered by Yang Anming to be the general leader of this attack, assured Yang An with a serious face, and then took more than 20 people behind him to carry a large piece of Pengmu and stood in front of everyone.

"Drumming! Offensive! ”

Accompanied by the heavy sound of drums, Luo Daquan shouted behind him, "Brothers, follow me to the city to eat meat and drink wine!" ”

"Roar, roar!"

"Rush!"

Feng Yuyong, who was on the city wall, looked at the people who rushed over unsuspectingly, and immediately laughed and said: "Sure enough, it is a group of miscellaneous soldiers, and the archers listen to the order, and when they enter the shooting range, they will directly greet them well." ”

"Congratulations, it looks like you're going to make another contribution."

Liu Hongyin, who was on the side, suddenly patted Feng Yuyong's ass gently, which immediately made the latter very proud.

Just as the two were talking, there was another change in Yang An's team.

"Zhu Yushang, push things out."

Suddenly, twelve small stone throwers were pushed out, and Feng Yuyong, who was on the other side, couldn't help but disdain when he saw this: "With such a small stone thrower, do they imagine scattering small stones in the city?" Hahahaha! ”

Yang An's face was like stagnant water, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but then he was replaced by perseverance, and said coldly: "Release!" ”

Under Yang An's words, a row of objects with red sparks quickly galloped towards the laughing crowd on the city wall.
