Chapter Seventy-One: Follow Me

Zhu Yiyuan asked a few words, the people of Maoyang Town couldn't stop the bitter water, they relied on Mengshan Mountain, the terrain was rugged, and the grain output was not much.

But this year, the Kong family suddenly increased the land rent, and suddenly many people smashed the pot and sold iron, and they couldn't make up the land rent, didn't this force the family to die?

Then there was news that the land rent was boycotted, and Maoyang Town also responded and joined the ranks of the boycott of the land rent.

Some time ago, the Kong family sent people, saying that they were negotiating land rent, and deceived a few leading villagers, and then they were all cut off, and the heads were hung outside the town.

If Zhu Yiyuan hadn't besieged Surabaya and cut off the road, the Kong family would not have been able to cross, and Maoyang Town would have suffered a long time ago.

"Zhu Gongzi, the villagers are going to follow you a long time ago, why did you come?"

When asked this sentence, Zhu Yiyuan blushed directly.

"The folks are kind, I know, but this time you don't need so many people, you choose the best fifty people, set off with me, others protect the folks, wait for my news, please rest assured, I will not break my word."

Zhu Yiyuan repeatedly assured that more than 60 people still acted as guides and entered Mengshan.

After entering the mountain, Zhu Yiyuan realized the value of these villagers, they traveled through the mountains all the year round, which was called a light car familiar with the road, specifically looking for convenient paths, so that the speed of the rebels was greatly accelerated.

And these ordinary people have also seen what it means to be a soldier and what it means to be a soldier...... Zhu Yiyuan eats the same dry food as the big guy. When climbing mountains and mountains, he also helped the soldiers with dry food and weapons. When talking to the guides, they are also polite, telling them about the policy and asking for the opinions of the big guys.

It didn't take long for them to get together.

It took them less than two days to cross Mengshan, more than a day faster than expected.

However, along the way, there were also more than 20 injuries, the lightest being ankle sprains, and a few were falling injuries.

They couldn't participate in the next battle, so Zhu Yiyuan asked people to find the nearest village and borrow the villagers' homes to recuperate from their injuries.

However, the compensation that should be given to the villagers must not be less...... When the injury is healed, you can leave, you have to chop firewood for the villager's house, fill it with water, in a word, the three words of the soldiers, carry out to the end!

The villagers of Maoyang Town are indeed convinced, their only concern now is that it is such a soldier and horse, it is good to be good, but can they fight with such harmony?

Especially Zhu Yiyuan, who is young and a white-faced scholar, doesn't look like he can rush into battle to kill the enemy?

Zhu Yiyuan didn't care about these folks, this time in the battle, he was going to go to the battlefield in person, Zhu Yiyuan put on two layers of armor, held a long knife with cold light in his hand, and wore a scarlet robe, which was really a bit majestic.

"Excuse me, just let us come, where can I use you!" Luo Yi muttered.

Zhu Yiyuan shook his head slightly, the news he got from the mouths of the few officials who escorted Zhao Shizhe back, the general soldier of Yizhou was called Tong Yangliang.

This Tong family is one of the most important ministers who took refuge in wild boar skin early.

Last year, Tong Yangliang exterminated the rebels in Qingzhou, Linqu and other places, and it can be said that his hands were covered with blood.

He went from north to south, all the way to Yizhou.

The Qing court appointed him as the chief soldier of Yizhou, also to pacify Lunan.

Just when Zhu Yiyuan took Surabaya, he sent 300 people, all of whom were elites outside the Qing court, and placed them in Mengyin to prevent Zhu Yiyuan from becoming bigger further.

Others still say that only these 300 Qing soldiers can't be taken lightly.

Zhu Yiyuan instructed the soldiers to lurk properly and wait for Zhao Yingyuan's offensive.

Sure enough, on the fifth day, Zhao Yingyuan led three thousand households and launched an attack on the west and north of Mengyin.

At this time, the rebels already had some bows and arrows, and they had also built quite a cloud ladder.

Zhu Yiyuan emphasized bows and firearms very much, which is not to say that he can be invincible by relying on these two, not to mention that white-knuckle combat is not important.

Rather, it is said that there must be a means of long-range attack, which is the effect of suppression.

Otherwise, even if they were beaten, no matter how elite a warrior was, they would not be able to withstand a few rounds of bow and arrow shooting.

It can be inferior to the other party, but it must have, at least it can stabilize the morale of the army.

No, Zhao Yingyuan used this bit of archers and firecrackers on the siege.

The walls of Mengyin are not high, and the defenders have little combat power, so when they heard the sound of fire and saw the arrows, their legs were numb, and they wanted to throw down their weapons and run.

It's a pity that they didn't run away this time, and the soldiers sent by Tong Yangliang were the supervising team.

Whoever dares to run away will be killed immediately!

"Go to town, block it!"

The green battalion in the city climbed and rushed up again.

The fighting between the two sides was fierce, and more and more soldiers and horses were attracted to it.

Zhu Yiyuan's opportunity finally came, "Order, attack the city immediately!" ”

His 800 men struck out from the south, and with great speed, the soldiers crossed the dry moat, grabbed the head of the city with their flying claws, and ran up.

Although there is no specific data, the city wall of Mengyin will definitely not exceed two zhang.

Even faster than Zhu Yiyuan's soldiers were the mountain people of Maoyang Town, who climbed up to the top of the city with flying claws, and split the deadbolt with a firewood knife to open the city gate.

"Master Zhu, come into the city!"

Zhu Yiyuan led the soldiers and quickly entered Mengyin.

His 800 people are known as elite, and they are indeed very powerful, and they have generally participated in the battles against Ma Degong and Liu Zhigan. Much stronger than these green battalions.

Zhu Yiyuan did not fall in love with the war, but went straight to the core, what he was looking for was the elite of the three hundred Qing army.

As he had expected, the three hundred men found that the gates had been breached, and immediately gathered together in an attempt to break through.

Zhao Yingyuan led the troops to kill with their butts, and the Qing army quickly concentrated their bows and arrows and threw them at Zhao Yingyuan's team.

With a scream, more than a dozen rebels fell.

Zhao Yingyuan was furious and took the lead in pursuit, the heavy arrows of the Qing army whizzed by, and several rebels were injured and fell down, losing their combat effectiveness.

Zhao Yingyuan hurriedly ordered a thousand households to bypass and surround the Qing army.

Finally, this Qing army was surrounded near the City God Temple.

The rebels were greatly encouraged and immediately attacked, but after two successive attacks, the Qing army repelled with bows and arrows.

The rebels lacked a hard bow, and the soldiers' archery skills were even worse, and they suffered too much in the confrontation. In the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty people died, and Zhao Yingyuan was distressed and bleeding.

All of them are good families, and they lost their lives like this!

Just give them a little more time, better equipment, better training, and these Tartars will die.

Just when Zhao Yingyuan was angry, the Qing army also felt that the rebels were numerous, and there was no good end to the fight.

They first rushed towards Zhao Yingyuan's side, and seeing Zhao Yingyuan retreating step by step, the Qing army immediately turned around and rushed in the opposite direction.

"It's a Tartar, kill!"

Huang Ying and Luo Yi decisively led the men and horses to rush forward, and the Qing army did not have time to use bows and arrows, and the two sides collided together.

As soon as they fought, several of the rebels fell.

Archery is not good, white-knuckle combat is worse, if one-on-one, even if the number is similar, the righteous army is by no means the opponent of the Qing army.

Even with a numerical advantage of several times, the situation is bad.

Luo Yi has always rushed to the front, but this time it didn't work, the other party had more strength than him, the momentum was more fierce, wearing heavy armor, and his momentum was like a rainbow.

"Kill!"

A knife slashed over, Luo Yi hurriedly blocked, he only felt that his arms were numb, he almost lost consciousness, and looked up sharply, and the knife of the Qing army on the opposite side came again.

He hurriedly stepped back and narrowly avoided it.

The Qing army didn't want to let him go, so he chased after him for two more steps, and Luo Yi was careless, tripped on a corpse, and fell directly to the ground.

The Qing army on the opposite side raised the machete high, and at this moment, Luo Yi clearly felt the breath of death.

But at this moment, there was a slender voice, holding a sharp blade, and took the lead in stabbing out, and the knife of the Qing army on the opposite side didn't have time to fall, and his chest was pushed up by a huge force,

Zhu Yiyuan exerted force with both feet, relying on the strength of his whole body, and the knife in his hand made a sound of penetrating the metal and cutting the flesh and bones. He paused sharply, then drew his knife with both hands and kicked it out.

This Qing soldier fell heavily, as if he wanted to see who killed him, but in the end he died.

Zhu Yiyuan slashed a Qing army, and even found the feeling of practicing stabbing in his previous life, and yelled excitedly at the soldiers: "Follow me!" ”

He took his head and killed the Qing army. Hearing Zhu Yiyuan's voice, Huang Yingdu's eyes were red, and he approached as fast as he could to protect Zhu Yiyuan. Luo Yi didn't care about the injury to his hands, changed his knife, and rushed up.

The soldiers of the righteous army were like a rainbow for a while, and everyone roared angrily.

"Kill! Kill all the dogs! ”

Even those hunters in Maoyang Town jumped on the buildings on both sides, took off the tiles, and hit the Qing army fiercely......
