Chapter 231: The Rebels Attack the City of Tokyo
The two gangs can be said to smell like each other, and they hooked up at once, and then decided to join forces to launch a surprise attack on the city of Tokyo.
However, Li Rufeng, who was guarding Tokyo City, was not blind and deaf, she had already discovered something wrong with the secret guards under Ye Da, so she immediately began to mobilize troops and horses from other places to defend the capital.
It's a pity that before the troops and horses on her side were mobilized in place, those former Song officials made a decisive move, obviously they also knew that there were many dreams at night, and if they continued to drag on, they would probably change.
So almost at the same time that Ye Tianlong's side defeated the army of Digimon controlled by the demons, these former Song officials also launched a surprise attack on Tokyo City late that night.
Because those guys also had a lot of internal responses in the city of Tokyo, the tall walls of the city of Tokyo hardly played a role in blocking the enemy army, and the rebel generals sent by the former Song officials opened the city gate and swaggered into the city.
And these guys are not well-disciplined soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire, many of them are still the green-skinned gangsters who were temporarily brought in by the former Song officials! So after entering the city, not only the defenders in the city were bad, but also many shops and houses along the road were also looted by these rebels, and many people were killed on the street, the rebels' shouts and the people's cries for help and screams resounded, and some places were even more aflamed, apparently some rebels lit a fire after looting.
After Li Rufeng saw the chaos outside the palace, he immediately sent 5,000 elite soldiers in the palace to suppress the rebels, but at this time, Hu Sanniang and the three brothers of the Zhu family all suggested that Li Rufeng shrink his forces and rely on the relatively strong city wall in the palace to wait for reinforcements. After all, no one knows how many rebels are coming now, if you attack rashly, once these 5,000 elites are buried, then the rebels can easily attack the palace.
But Li Rufeng didn't listen to Hu Sanniang's persuasion at all, and insisted on leading troops out to suppress the rebels.
So Hu Sanniang and the others had no choice but to lead 5,000 elite soldiers out of the palace with him, and confronted the rebels who were in the city.
As soon as the group left the palace, they happened to see a group of militia being besieged by the rebels.
So Li Rufeng took the lead, holding a two-point steel gun and rushed up, and a rebel general came to fight with a phoenix mouth knife, but he was picked by Li Rufeng under the horse without even catching a move.
Hu Sanniang and Zhu Biao also quickly rode their horses to catch up, and quickly shot through the encirclement of the enemy army who were in chaos because of the death of the main general, and joined up with the surrounded friendly army inside.
After the two sides converged, Li Rufeng and the others found out that the generals of this friendly army were actually the mother worm Gu sister-in-law and the little lieutenant Chi Sun Xin, the strength of these two people is at the bottom of the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan, and they have only barely stepped into the innate realm, but the Gu sister-in-law is thoughtful, so Ye Tianlong will send her to stay in Tokyo City to manage the militia troops in the outer city.
Sister-in-law Gu and her husband Sun Xin had already slept tonight, but suddenly heard a burst of shouting and killing outside, and the husband and wife hurriedly put on their armor, took their weapons and went out.
As a result, they had just gathered hundreds of militiamen, and they were surrounded by a group of rebels, which numbered more than 3,000, but Gu Sister-in-law and Sun Xin only had more than 200 militiamen, and they could only resist the siege of this group of rebels for a while, and they could not fight out of the siege at all.
Just when they were about to be unable to resist, Li Rufeng led the reinforcements in the palace to arrive in time and help them relieve the siege.
After that, the two sides merged in one place and continued to kill other places where the rebels were raging.
That Gu sister-in-law and Sun Xin's strength is weaker, and that is also relative to those masters among the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan, in fact, compared to the ordinary Qinglong Empire generals, the martial arts of the two of them are still good, after all, Sun Xin's brother is often said by the Water Margin fans to have the level of five tiger generals, but because of Song Jiang's intentional suppression, the sick captain Chi Sun Li!
The two of them have Sun Li's guidance, and the level of martial arts is naturally much more powerful than most of the heroes born in the wild road, among which Gu's sister-in-law is holding two male and female tiger head knives, and the double knives dance like a whirlwind, cutting down the rebels in front of them like mowing grass.
The lieutenant Chi Sun Xin is holding a steel whip in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, of which the steel whip is mainly used to defend against enemy attacks, and the spear is like a poisonous snake, either not moving, or it sticks out like lightning and kills with one blow.
"It seems that these rebels are nothing more than that, it seems that they just relied on night attacks and internal responses to catch us off guard, or the queen is wise, she saw the bluff of these rebels and led us to attack decisively!"
After defeating another rebel army of more than 5,000 people, Zhu Biao pulled his spear out of the chest of an enemy general and slapped Li Rufeng's ass.
To tell the truth, they were really worried that this rebel army was strong, and they led the five thousand soldiers and horses in the palace to kill them with meat buns and dogs, and they never returned! But now it seems that he really thinks too highly of these rebels! This is a group of rabble, although the equipment is not bad, it is stronger than the previous Song forbidden army, but neither the strength nor the will to fight can meet the standards of the real elite.
Li Rufeng, who was on the side, had an expression on her face when she heard this, because she didn't really see through that the enemy army was a rabble, and she didn't want to let these rebels rampant, causing heavy casualties to the people in Tokyo, so she decided to immediately lead the army to attack. Even she was ready for most of the 5,000 soldiers to die in battle.
Unexpectedly, they came all the way and killed several rebels, but not a single one was killed, but more than a dozen soldiers were slightly injured. Along the way, more than 8,000 militia units were rescued and collected.
Under the successive battles, not only generals like Zhu Biao, but even the soldiers were full of morale, thinking that they could easily quell this rebellion.
However, not long after the army hit the road again, several ghosts and monsters covered in white cloths, showing only a pair of eyes and a mouth, suddenly appeared and launched a sneak attack on Zhu Biao and other generals.
These ghosts and monsters seemed to appear suddenly, so even Li Rufeng was caught off guard, but fortunately, she was not hit by her martial arts, and stabbed the ghost monster who pounced on her to death with one shot.
The others, on the other hand, were all slightly injured, and they were not able to fight back in time, leaving behind the ghosts and monsters that attacked them.
Li Rufeng saw that those ghosts and monsters quickly burrowed into an alley, and immediately led hundreds of elite heavy cavalry to chase them in. Because she also recognized these things as ghost monsters just now, they belong to a kind of mature Digimon, most of their strength is innate and heavy, and they are also good at camouflage, and continue to keep these guys in the city, the threat is too great.
As a result, she led the cavalry team to turn a corner and chased into the alley, only to find that the ghosts and monsters disappeared in an instant as if they had evaporated from the world, and the only living creatures in the alley were only a few terrified civilians, and there were still a lot of corpses on the ground, it seemed that this place had just been looted and slaughtered.
When the civilians who were still alive saw Li Rufeng and their officers and soldiers coming, they were immediately overjoyed, and they rushed up with a crawl, as if they wanted to seek shelter from the officers and soldiers.
One of the gray-haired old men stretched out his hands while crying, and he was about to grab Li Rufeng's calf.
As a result, a gunshot flashed, and the old man's chest was already pierced by the spear stabbed by Li Rufeng.
Before the rest of the people were surprised, the old man instantly turned into a ghost monster, and then after Li Rufeng stirred the spear vigorously and withdrew it, the ghost monster also turned into a flood of data and dispersed because of the exhaustion of blood.
With Li Rufeng's demonstration, the others also hurriedly waved the weapons in their hands, preparing to kill the civilians who approached them, but as expected, these guys were disguised after the transformation of ghosts and monsters.
This time, Li Rufeng had already prepared, and most of the heavy cavalry brought with bows and arrows, and after these ghosts and monsters showed up because of Hu Sanniang's attack, they immediately ordered to release the arrows, and suddenly those ghosts and monsters were all shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows that came from them, and they died miserably one by one.
It seems that they also understand that the sneak attack can't help Li Rufeng and them, and soon those rebel generals gathered 20,000 elite troops, and then with the help of more than 100 ghosts and monsters, they killed Li Rufeng and them.
The armies of both sides fought fiercely in the alleys, one with a large number of firearms in their hands and the other with powerful Digimon like Oni-Monster in their hands, and the battle lasted from late at night until dawn.
It wasn't until the statistics were made afterwards that Li Rufeng learned that the 5,000 elite soldiers she brought out had all killed more than 2,000, and as for the militia in the city, more than 40,000 had been killed, leaving only more than 7,000 people. Even the captain Chi Sun Xin, a congenital master, was seriously injured in the battle, and was still in a coma at this time, as for the minor injuries, everyone suffered a lot, and they continued to fight after a little bandaging, and when the battle was over, the bandages on the wounds were often dyed red by the blood that flowed out later, if it weren't for the continuous use of various healing pills, everyone would probably not be able to withstand it a long time ago.
And after paying such a huge price of casualties, most of the more than 100,000 rebels were also wiped out by them, and the more than 100 ghosts and monsters were all shot by the snipers and archers sent by Li Rufeng, and none of them were able to escape.
Li Rufeng looked at the huge casualty figures, and felt that the casualties this time would be so large, mainly because most of the soldiers in Tokyo had not been able to complete the redressing. After all, the weapons and equipment produced before were all supplied to the troops under Ye Tianlong and Song Jiang first, and as for these troops located in the rear, the order of redressing was naturally to be ranked behind.
As a result, this time the internal enemy suddenly carried out a surprise attack, but it made the Qinglong Empire suffer a big loss, in last night's battle, a large number of militiamen who were only equipped with flintlock rifles, often only had time to fire a shot, the enemy army had already rushed to the front, had to start a white-edged battle with the other party, and those militia melee training is actually not much, most of them will only stab with one move, and those rebels are a lot of good hands on the rivers and lakes, very good at melee fighting, That's why the casualties of the soldiers on the side of the Blue Dragon Empire will be so heavy.
And through the interrogation of the captured rebel generals, Li Rufeng also understood the identity of those behind-the-scenes commanders, and immediately sent troops to arrest these guys.
Three days after the end of the battle on the side of Tokyo City, the first batch of reinforcements ordered by Li Rufeng before finally arrived, which shows how difficult it was to mobilize troops and horses in this ancient time with backward technology.
However, with the arrival of a reinforcement army, Li Rufeng's troops were also slightly larger, so that she could send soldiers and horses everywhere to arrest those rebellious officials.
Under Li Rufeng's crazy roundup, most of the officials who participated in the rebellion were arrested one after another, and only a few people were very decisive and fled overseas by boat, so that Li Rufeng could not continue to arrest them for a while.
And just when Li Rufeng was angry because of the defection of these officials, Ye Tianlong had already led the victorious army back to Tokyo City, and on the way back, he had already learned about the big battle that took place in Tokyo City not long ago. After he entered the city, he could still see a lot of traces left by the battle that day, he didn't expect that he had tried to avoid the Jin army from capturing Tokyo City, causing the shame of Jingkang, but in the end he still failed to let the people in Tokyo City avoid this catastrophe, and this military disaster was caused by some people with different aspirations, which is really too unjust!
At this time, there happened to be a group of officials who participated in the rebellion in the city who were escorted in by the soldiers, and after the people along the road saw these prisoners, they threw them one by one with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, after all, many of these people had relatives who died in the war that night, so how could they not hate the mastermind behind all this! You must know that in the first few batches of officials, these hateful people were directly stoned.
In the end, it was because a prisoner was stoned to death that the government posted a notice warning the people not to use stones or other things to smash those prisoners in the future, so that these later prisoners escaped, and they no longer needed to face the stones thrown from the sky, but only needed to endure the stench of those rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.
