Chapter 35: Rebellion
"General, what shall we do?" Sun Er cautiously looked at Qu Jiazhen, whose face was distorted, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
"How the do I know what to do!" As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the hall. "Damn, Zhang Yiming, this son of a bitch, ran away, I guess the situation is not good. No, we have to run, go to Guanwai, and defect to Jiannu. Sun Er, you quickly inform the soldiers of the main barracks to gather immediately. ”
"Yes, sir!" Saying that, Sun Er ran out.
As soon as he opened his legs, he heard a noise outside, Qu Jiazhen stretched out his head to see that Li Zhaogui, the deputy chief soldier, led a group of people in.
"General, what's going on? How did I hear that the governor was out of town? As soon as Li Zhaogui came in, he asked Qu Jiazhen with a slap on his face.
Qu Jiazhen nodded gloomily and did not speak.
He ran away, and if you're going to be a little late, I'll run too.
"General, it's just the other way around. We want money, we want money, we want people, and we can't go anywhere in Mongolia and Jiannu. ”
"That's right! Checkmate! It's the other way around! ”
As soon as Li Zhaogui said this, there was a commotion in the people behind. They all expressed their willingness to follow the general soldiers of Qu to fight the fire. Qu Jiazhen looked at the more than 100 people in the courtyard, these are all direct participants in smuggling, as long as the matter is revealed, they will all die. But can rebellion be a simple matter?
Just as they hesitated, a soldier at the door shouted:
"The Governor is here with someone!"
Suddenly, the people and soldiers in the courtyard pulled out their knives one after another, and Li Zhaogui stared at Qu Jiazhen with wide eyes, as if he immediately cut him if he dared to say the word surrender.
Qu Jiazhen pursed his dry lips, his heart was ruthless, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Kill them!" Out of the customs, go to Houjin! ”
Oh!
The crowd responded with a bang and poured out.
As soon as Cao Wenzhao and Wang Xiangqian and their entourage reached the door, they were surrounded by people pouring out of Qujiazhen's mansion. Cao Wenzhao pulled out the steel knife at his waist and looked coldly at the soldiers in front of him.
"These are the spies who infiltrated Datong Mansion! Kill them! With a shout from Qu Jiazhen, a group of people rushed up with knives.
Cao Wenzhao's face was fearless, he did not retreat but advanced, and led his own soldiers to meet him.
And Wang Xiangqian only had six people around him, and he didn't leave the left and right for his safety.
Cao Wenzhao's eighteen people were fearless in the face of enemies many times their size. rushed all the way forward, and the opponents who actually killed were defeated and retreated. Qu Jiazhen jumped to his feet in a hurry, and he didn't dare to go into battle in person, where did the body that had been hollowed out by wine over the years still have combat effectiveness at all.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Li Zhaogui rushed into the battle circle with a knife, and shouted loudly as he rushed: "Adjust the musketeers!" ”
Qu Jiazhen immediately reacted when he heard this, and said to Sun Er on the side:
"Go get a squad of musketeers!"
When Sun Er heard this, he immediately ran in the opposite direction of the crowd.
Fuck you, you fucking rebelled without ranged weapons? Now that I'm a dog, where can I go to find the musketeers? Fuck you, I'm running too.
Li Zhaogui's shout Cao Wenzhao also heard it, and his heart suddenly became anxious, if he really transferred a team of musketeers, he and a group of people had to explain here. At that moment, he slashed twice in a row, forcing back an enemy in front of him, and killed in the direction of Qu Jiazhen.
Li Zhaogui also saw that everyone was headed by him, and he also came up with a knife. The two fought together, and in less than ten rounds, Li Zhaogui secretly shouted that it was not good. The opponent in front of him doesn't look very strong, but he has great strength, and his moves are all life-fighting styles, and he suddenly has the idea of retreating. Cao Wenzhao, who has extremely rich combat experience, saw Li Zhaogui's intentions at once, and deliberately leaked a flaw, Li Zhaogui turned around and ran, but Cao Wenzhao chased after him with two steps and slashed heavily in the back, and immediately staggered to the ground with a scream.
When the sergeants saw Li Zhaogui fall to the ground, half of the fighting intent in their hearts was frightened, and they had no intention of fighting, and slowly retreated into the courtyard. How could Cao Wenzhao let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he slashed the two of them like a mad tiger and rushed to Qu Jiazhen's face.
Qu Jiazhen sat and waited on the right, but did not wait for the musketeers, but waited for Cao Wenzhao. Immediately shocked, subconsciously swung the knife and slashed, but saw Cao Wenzhao's long knife slashing upward, Qu Jiazhen's right arm was broken at the shoulder, and blood gushed out. Qu Jiazhen saw his fallen arm and screamed in fright. Cao Wenzhao put away the knife sideways, put it across his neck, and shouted:
"Stop!"
But at this time, the red-eyed two sides still stopped, and they still fought back and forth.
"Bang!"
At this moment, there was a thunderous sound in the distance. Frightened, everyone stopped their movements and looked at the periphery.
Out of the smoke slowly came a burst of soldiers, wearing black unknown armor and black helmets, with neat steps, holding muskets towards the crowd like a mountain.
Before he could marvel, there was another sound from behind.
"Da~Da~"
It was clearly the sound of the horseshoe of the war horse stepping on the stone slab, and he looked backwards. A group of cavalrymen in the same costume approached.
"Disarm!"
"Disarm" With the roar of the generals in the front row, the two phalanxes simultaneously let out a cry like cracking stones piercing the clouds.
The people in the field could no longer hold the knives in their hands, and threw them on the ground one after another, not daring to move.
Only Cao Wenzhao's own soldiers are still on guard, even if they all know that the slightest change is death.
Until an old voice came.
"It's all right, put the knife down."
It was Wang Xiangqian, who walked down from the sedan chair at some point.
Seeing his subordinates looking at him, Cao Wenzhao nodded, signaling to obey Wang Xiangqian's orders.
When the musket phalanx approached, the formation changed, and out came a group of infantry dressed in the same costume, armed with bright steel knives, and surrounded the rebels.
"The last generals Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Sun Yingyuan. Meet the King. ”
The three of them walked out of the phalanx and came to Wang Xiangqian and gave a military salute.
The three formations of men and horses are naturally Zhu Youzhen's brave guard battalion, and the black armor is the tactical armor produced by Xi Xi. The nail plate is made of stainless steel, which is both lightweight and protective. It's a bit expensive, more than two thousand sets. When he ordered the transfer of Cao Wenzhao, he was worried about this scene. So Zhou Yuji led 1,000 cavalry, Huang De 2,000 musketeers, and Xu Yingyuan led 2,000 infantry to listen to Wang Xiangqian's command. It came in handy today.
Cao Wenzhao walked up to a few people and said hello. Chong Zhou Yuji says:
"General Zhou, borrow a horse! I went out of the city to chase Zhang Yiming. ”
Zhou Yuji pondered for a moment and said calmly:
"Let's go."
said that he ordered the people to take out more than a dozen war horses, and some took out a horse lance from the saddle and asked Cao Wenzhao:
"Can it be used?"
Seeing Cao Wenzhao nodding, Zhou Yuji threw the horse lance to him.
It is an eight-sided lance, and the head of the lance made of 100 refined patterned steel glistens coldly in the sun, making people have no doubt about its sharpness. At just one glance, Cao Wenzhao liked it.
Got on the horse, nodded to Zhou Yuji, and rode towards the north gate together.
Cao Wenzhao and Zhou Yuji chased all the way north to Zhenchuan Fort, twenty-five miles away, but still did not see Zhang Yiming.
"Are you sure this is the closest way out of the customs?" Cao Wenzhao frowned and asked the guide.
"Yes General, this is the closest fort to Datong."
Cao Wenzhao and Zhou Yuji glanced at each other, and they both saw the eagerness to try from each other's eyes.
"Get out!"
The two said in unison.
When he went to Zhenchuan Fort to ask, Zhang Yiming really went out of Zhenchuan Fort and walked for less than a quarter of an hour.
The two of them once again chased the cavalry all the way, and finally saw Zhang Yiming's figure after more than ten miles.
Zhang Yiming was a civil official, galloping all the way, at this time it was the end of the crossbow, and when he heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, he was even more frightened, and he endured two pains and desperately whipped the war horse under his crotch. Seeing that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, and when he was about to despair, a team of cavalry came in front! Zhang Yiming screamed as if he had met a savior.
"Help!"
This group of cavalry was about a thousand people, dressed in Mongol costumes. At this time, he also saw Zhang Yiming, and rode his horse around.
The leading Mongolian cavalry muttered a few words to the people around him, and the man beside him rode out of the column and asked:
"Who are you?"
"I am the governor of Datong in the Ming Dynasty, and I have made a deal with your Great Khan before. Now the cavalry behind me is going to kill me, please save me! ”
The interpreter muttered to the leader for a long time.
The leader nodded, ready to let Zhang Yiming enter the team.
At this time, Cao Wenzhao and Zhou Yuji led the crowd to the front, and the Mongolian cavalry looked at the Yongwei battalion that passed like a black cloud, and their hearts were inexplicably frightened. What kind of costume is this pitch black, and the one in his hand is actually a musket!
Cavalry end muskets!?
I saw a man holding a horse lance and leaping out of the horse.
"I am Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier of Datong! I want to take this person away! ”
