Chapter 305 Fight the local tyrants and divide the land
Dawn.
The wind and snow are still there.
In the dim and flickering lights, Liu Huai, who was covered in snowflakes, walked into the gate of the urn city.
"Major General!"
He shook off the snowflakes and looked at the young officer in front of him with a smile.
This is Liu Wei's son Liu Yi.
The Liu family is Xuyi, to be precise, Zhaoxin local tyrants, real local tyrants, the number one family in Sizhou, but because of the special situation of the ancestors, they are not prominent in the officialdom......
Well, his ancestor is Liu Renzhan.
The famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, known as Lu Bu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, blocked Hou Zhou for the Southern Tang Dynasty to defend Shouzhou, and even almost killed Chai Rong with an arrow, it is said that the arrow fell a few feet in front of Chai Rong's horse, so although the Liu family maintained a huge family and industry in Xuyi, even Tianchang in the south had a large amount of land, but there were always no high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the officialdom. However, after the great painter crossed to the south, he tried his best to win over these local tyrant families in Jianghuai, so the Liu family was quickly promoted, coupled with vital interests, so Liu Wei, his son Liu Gang, Liu Yi, and even his brothers and nephews all became the generals of the Xuyi garrison.
It can be said that he did his best for the Southern Song Dynasty.
Originally, it was historically the same.
The Hengshan Righteous Army of Liu Wei and his son, the Huai'an Righteous Army of Zhao Li, and the Liangshan Bo Righteous Army of Zhang Rong were the main civil anti-Jin forces in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Brothers, it's hard work, let's go have a cup of hot wine to warm up first!"
Liu Yi said.
As he spoke, he looked behind Liu Huai.
At this time, it was just dawn, and the weather was not much different from midnight, and I could only see the bright light of the lanterns under Liu Huai's subordinates, which dragged on for a long time in the vast wind and snow, and there was not even a figure behind them, even those behind Liu Huai lowered their heads, wrapped tightly and covered with snowflakes.
"Major General Xie!"
Liu Huai hurriedly said.
With that, he walked to the main gate that had been opened in front of him.
The subordinates behind him followed, and Liu Yi stood there looking at it with some confusion.
Several soldiers were walking in front of him.
They didn't salute him, they just walked forward with their heads down, Liu Yi looked at them, they still didn't look up, Liu Yi's gaze scanned them from top to bottom, and then his gaze fell on the feet of one of the soldiers. The latter was wearing very warm leather boots on his feet, and as he walked and shook off the snowflakes, Liu Yi's brows furrowed, this was a little wrong, of course he knew very well what his subordinate soldiers were wearing, in fact, they also wore a pair of cotton shoes.
Some don't even have cotton shoes, and wearing leather boots is obviously wrong.
"Stop, you guys!"
He shouted.
The soldiers immediately stopped.
The first big man lowered his head, and Liu Huai and the others in front glanced back, but immediately sped up.
"Liu Huai, stop immediately!"
Liu Yi shouted.
He had already sensed that something was wrong by this time.
But Liu Huai continued to speed up, ignoring his shouts, and soon it almost turned into a trot, taking out the arquebus from the lantern as he ran......
"Close the gates and stop them!"
Liu Yi instinctively yelled.
Almost at the same time, the big man who stopped in front of him suddenly crashed into him, Liu Yi instinctively drew his knife, and the soldiers next to him also drew their knives, but they were still one step slower, and the man instantly hit Liu Yi and punched him in the face. It is true that the father and son of the Liu family are local tyrants, but they are not military generals, these years the local tyrants in the south are basically studying, and Liu Yi, who didn't have time to pull out his knife, screamed and fell backwards.
At the same time, several soldiers at the main city gate began to close the door, and the three-eyed gun in Liu Huai's hand, which had become a wild run, suddenly spewed flames, although one did not hit, but those soldiers who had not experienced the war were stunned, and before they could wake up, Liu Huai had already crashed into the crack of the door with Wang Chao and others.
"Open the city gate to welcome the king of Ming, and the king of Ming will not pay the rent when he comes!"
He shouted as he ran.
And behind him, the three-eyed gun in the hands of the soldiers of the Changsheng Army beside Captain Lin also spewed flames, although there were dozens of Liu Yi's personal soldiers in the urn city, but most of these personal soldiers had never fought, and the sudden attack made everyone a little confused.
They watched as flames erupted in the faint light of dawn on the other side.
Then bullets whizzed into the body.
"Quick, they're the Northern Army!"
Liu Yi, who got up, roared.
But at this moment, in the vast wind and snow outside the city, where there were only a few lights, countless faint shadows appeared, and quickly became clear, and above him, chaotic screams sounded, and the soldiers stationed on the city wall were awakened by the sound of three-eyed guns. Liu Yi struggled to get up, but then the person just now reappeared in his field of vision, and without hesitation, one or three eyes twitched at him, and the hapless Liu Yi screamed and fell into the snow again......
"Ma's, I thought I could fight, I was just vulnerable."
Captain Lin said disdainfully.
Indeed, the Changsheng Army still attached great importance to the Southern Song Army, after all, these soldiers were well-equipped and had everything they should have, and they also had a large number of firearms.
It should have some combat power when it looks.
Even if it is worse than the Changsheng Army and the Northwest Forbidden Army, it is only slightly worse, there is no essential gap, at least it has the strength to fight, but now as soon as he fights, he finds that these soldiers are just like that. And because they had never fought before, the soldiers were all slow to react, and they even looked at their helplessness, and at this time, there were still people who didn't react......
"Disarm and don't kill, the victorious army treats prisoners preferentially!"
He yelled.
The soldiers were at a loss.
"Brothers, put down the guys in your hands, Chang Shengjun is here to divide the fields for customers."
Yang Yi beside him shouted.
"Quick, stop these thieves!"
A roar rang out from the walls.
Captain Lin and Yang Yi immediately raised their heads, and then they saw the awakened figures on the city wall poking their heads out of the battlements, Liu Wei brandished his sword and roared angrily to urge the fire, and many soldiers beside him had already stretched out their three-eyed guns from the battlements, and even one of them was holding a lit thunderbolt in his hand. Captain Lin did not hesitate to rush straight to the main city gate, while Liu Huai and the others were still stuck in the middle of the city gate, fighting with several defenders in the city gate cave, and the soldiers in the hidden soldier cave in the city had also poured out and began to rush into the city gate hole.
Thunderbolts were dropped on the city walls.
Captain Lin, who had already rushed to the doorway, caught it without hesitation.
The soldier above looked at him in amazement.
Captain Lin, who was holding a thunderbolt with a fuse in his hand that was about to burn out, rushed straight into the city gate.
"Get out of the way!"
He yelled.
In front, Liu Huai was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.
Almost at the same time, a thunderbolt flew out of Captain Lin's hand and flew over his head.
Immediately afterwards, Captain Lin came to his side, pulled him to hide next to the door, and the next moment the flames and gunpowder smoke that exploded inside erupted from between the two city gates, and before Liu Huai woke up, Captain Lin dragged him into the gunpowder smoke again.
And at the gate of the city of Wengcheng, the follow-up victorious army was shouting and swarming in.
The sound of three-eyed guns on the city wall rang out.
And in the door hole of the main city gate, the still permeated gunpowder smoke made it impossible to see anything clearly, only a faint black shadow, and the screams of those soldiers who were injured, Captain Lin, who was pulling Liu Huai, didn't care about anything at all, and smashed the three-eyed gun in his hand while running forward, and rushed out of the city gate hole in a blink of an eye.
That thunderbolt was not very powerful, and he could catch it as much as he could, but in fact it couldn't kill a few people at all. But the defenders had never fought, and the explosion inside spurted out smoke and fire, which immediately frightened them to the sides, and the soldiers who rushed out of the city gate were still screaming in horror when Captain Lin rushed out!
One of them reacted the fastest, and as soon as he came out, he immediately turned his head and raised the three-eyed gun......
"Li Er, put it down!"
Liu Huai shouted.
The man was stunned for a moment.
"Don't be stupid, Chang Shengjun is here to take our poor people to fight the local tyrants to divide the land, I saw with my own eyes in Hebei, the king of Zhongshan does not collect Ding Yin, does not collect losses, does not collect harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, does not need to serve forced labor, and also distributes the landlord's land to customers. Brothers, don't give your life to those officials and gentlemen, the Chang Shengjun is here to save the suffering! ”
Liu Huai shouted.
The soldiers immediately calmed down and stood there one by one, staring at each other.
"Quick, kill these thieves, kill them and everyone will be rewarded!"
An officer shouted in alarm.
At the same time, behind Captain Lin, with the sound of shouting and killing, more figures rushed out of the gunsmoke, and the defenders didn't dare to move anymore, and stood there helplessly. The officer was still desperately urging, and then a soldier behind him stabbed his cone gun directly into his back, and then pulled it out in the officer's screams.
"Brothers, what he said is true, open the city gate to welcome King Ming, King Ming comes and doesn't pay rent, doesn't pay rent and doesn't pay food, everyone has a happy life!"
The soldier shouted.
Captain Lin didn't pay attention to them anymore, and directly turned his head and rushed to the side of the road, while more victorious troops rushed out behind him, and those defenders in the city were still looking at each other.
"Let's go, divide the fields!"
Liu Huai beckoned and shouted.
After speaking, he carried the three-eyed gun and followed Captain Lin to the horse road.
The defenders continued to look at each other......
"Let's go, open the city gate to welcome the king!"
The soldier who had killed the officer also waved and shouted.
After saying that, he also rushed to the horse road, and the soldiers behind finally came to their senses, and one by one they shouted and merged into the victorious army that was rushing into the city, and then followed them to rush to the horse road, and started a fierce battle with the defenders who blocked it. Liu Wei on the city wall was still holding back the victorious army entering the city, but their three-eyed guns and thunderbolts could not stop the latter from swarming in.
These are the main forces of the victorious army, and the blocking of primitive firearms is useless.
And there were too many of them, and the wind and snow outside seemed to be pouring out endlessly, and the soldiers on the city wall watched this scene and listened to the gunshots, explosions, and shouts of killing behind them, and immediately some people couldn't hold it and began to flee.
At the same time, Captain Lin and Liu Huai and others also rushed to the city wall, and the defenders who were still blocking the attack immediately collapsed......
"Stop, don't run!"
Liu Wei roared angrily.
But everyone in front of him was running away, and he brandished his sword to try to stop it.
But there is no point.
He was like standing at the entrance of a shopping mall with a big sale facing the swarming aunts, and in the onslaught of the fleeing soldiers, he involuntarily walked north along the city wall with them......
