07 Golden and silver
It is said that at noon on the second day, when the sky was clear, the entire "Pingyu Coalition Army" launched a three-way feint attack on Gu Yuncheng in accordance with General Sun's tactics. At the same time, a group of more than 200 recruits temporarily recruited from Taizhou Prefecture was attacking the west gate of Gu Yuncheng head-on.
Because of the need to avoid the "flesh-and-blood dispute" between the two sides, in the battle of Gu Yuncheng today, Xie Yixiang followed Yan Sidao's advice, but made an assertion without telling De Yizi in the camp, but only asked Chen and Zhu to each lead 500 soldiers from the camp and obey the dispatch of the rebel general General Sun;
Therefore, except for the 1,000 soldiers led by the two deputy generals Chen and Zhu, almost only Xie Yixiang participated in the battle in the imperial court.
At the bottom of the hill where everyone was standing, the 1,000 soldiers under General Sun's command had already laid an ambush in the mountains on both sides of the official road, just waiting for the men and horses in front of them to feint and lure the Japanese in the city to this place and annihilate them one by one;
At that moment, Xie Yixiang used her "poor thousands of miles" magic power on the top of the mountain to carefully observe the situation in Gu Yuncheng. I saw that unlike last night's desertion, in the face of the siege of the north, west, and south routes outside the city, many people in the city have poured onto the city wall, ready to defend the city such as crossbow arrows and flying stones, and are ready to start a war with the enemy at any time. However, she looked at it again, but saw that these "Japanese robbers" guarding the city on the city wall, except for a few Dongying people wearing kimonos or Dongying samurai uniforms, most of them were dressed as Han Chinese, and the more they looked at it, the more they looked like local people, and they actually wanted to help the Dongying Japanese in the city defend the city.
Xie Yixiang couldn't help frowning, and asked: "Dongying Japanese Kou is a foreign bandit, like this, invade my territory, kill my people, the local Han people should unite as one, desperately resist the thieves, how did they become their accomplices?" I would like to ask if there are even Han people who pretend to be Japanese and cause rebellion, let alone Han Chinese who help the Japanese to defend the city?"
When the words fell, the words behind him had already taken over the conversation, and he said with a smile: "You must know that in front of the word 'survival', the so-called 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith' is undoubtedly ridiculous, and even the law is useless. In today's situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the people only need a mouthful of food, just to survive, so whether it is the imperial court or the Heng King, or the Dongying Wakou, for these people, whoever appreciates food will naturally listen to whom, what is right and wrong?"
After a pause, he added: "Don't say that these people in Gu Yun City who help the Japanese to defend the city, even if these 4,000 military horses under the command of you and me, how can this not be the case?
Xie Yixiang listened to it very unpleasantly, and wanted to refute it, but saw that at this moment, the battle at the west gate of Guyun City a few miles away finally started completely. The more than 200 recruits recruited from the local area, under the leadership of the leading officers, had already carried seven or eight long ladders made of bamboo, and launched a charge towards the wall of Gu Yuncheng, which was more than three zhang high. At the same time, the two lieutenants Chen and Zhu outside the north gate and the south gate, each led 500 soldiers under their command to approach the city wall, but they stopped more than 20 zhang away from the city wall, just waving their flags and shouting and bluffing.
You must know that the more than 200 recruits who attacked Ximen were only used to lure the enemy in General Sun's plan and took on the drudgery of "gnawing bones", but General Sun obviously did not inform them of the truth. Therefore, seeing that they were besieging the city with three routes of army and horses today, with a total of more than 1,200 people, these recruits really thought that they were going to break through this Gu Yun City in one fell swoop. In addition, they were originally recruited from the local Taizhou Prefecture, and most of them had a deep blood feud with the Japanese Kou, and it was with this charge at this moment that they were angry and fearless, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the west city wall and successfully erected several long ladders.
Immediately on the western wall, the people defending the city drew their bows and arrows, and shot at these recruits outside the city in a scattered manner. However, for the several long ladders erected by his side, the other party did not mean to destroy them, but more than a dozen Dongying people with Japanese knives waited at the end of the long ladder, and there were two or three people at each long ladder. In this way, with just a cup of tea, twenty or thirty of the recruits who attacked the west gate of Gu Yuncheng were killed on the spot, but the rest were still attacking desperately, without the slightest retreat.
This situation was obviously expected by General Sun, and the purpose was to lure the Japanese in the city out of the city to meet the battle, and then the men and horses of the two lieutenants Chen and Zhu outside the north gate and the south gate would lure them all the way to this place and hand them over to the 1,000 rebels who were ambushed under the hill to capture and kill. Xie Yixiang saw that his people were dying so generously, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he only hoped that the would-be robbers in the city would be able to fight as soon as possible, but then looking at the situation in Yuncheng, the Dongying and Han people guarding the western city wall did not see any movement, but continued to deal with the two hundred recruits who climbed the long ladder to attack the city, but on the city walls of the north gate and the south gate, there were many Japanese robbers dragging heavy bags to the city wall, all the way to the front of the arrow stacks of the city wall, and they didn't know what the bags contained.
Seeing the other party's actions like this, even General Sun, who had been fighting against the Japanese pirates for many years, was a little confused, and he didn't know what the use of these bags that the Japanese pirates carried on the city wall was. Yan Sidao next to him took a few deep puffs of dry smoke, then raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "In this way, it is true that the Japanese in the city want to go out of the city to meet the battle, but their target of attack is not those recruits outside the West Gate, but the two five hundred imperial army horses outside the North and South Second Gate?"
As Yan Sidao's words fell, those Dongying Wokou on the north gate and south gate of Gu Yuncheng had already untied the bags in their hands one after another, and dumped the contents of the bags outside the city wall. Xie Yixiang hurriedly looked far away with the magic power of "poor thousands of miles", only to see that under the reflection of the sun, the things that were dumped under the city wall clearly flashed with gold and silver, and they were all genuine gold and silver, and they were sprinkled down by the widows on the city wall, and they fell all over the ground.
You must know that this seaside Gu Yun City is now the stronghold of this self-proclaimed "Zhongtiao Yidaoliu" descendant, which naturally stores a lot of property that they looted, and they didn't expect it to be used by them to squander it like this. At this time, the men and horses led by the two deputy generals Chen and Zhu outside the north gate and the south gate originally stopped at a place more than 20 zhang away from the city wall, and lined up on the spot, but when they saw a large amount of gold and silver falling from the city wall, all the soldiers were shocked, and immediately came back to their senses, rushed up one after another, and rushed forward to snatch it, but they completely ignored the greeting of the generals who led the army.
This scene made everyone on the hill stunned, and General Sun couldn't help but blurt out: "Sun has been fighting against the Japanese for many years, and it's the first time I've seen them use such despicable means!" The face of Yan Sidao next to him was also extremely ugly, and he sneered: "The imperial court military horses are really just a rabble, all of them are waste! Even if they can grab these gold and silver in their hands, how can they still have a life?"
Xie Yixiang was even more red-faced, this time she was very familiar with her two thousand people, but it was General Yang Lao who was ordered by the imperial court to bring the garrisons originally stationed in Tongling, Xuancheng and Huzhou to Ningyi City for rescue. Because these garrisons were already of mixed quality, and most of them came from poor families who did not have enough to eat, not only were they not elite soldiers, but they had hardly even been on the battlefield; in addition, they had traveled more than 600 miles from Ningyi City to Taizhou Mansion, and the sergeants had already complained and complained bitterly. At this time, they suddenly saw a large amount of gold and silver sprinkled under the city wall in front of them, how could these soldiers still hold back? For a while, they just stepped forward to scramble, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
As the sergeants under the command of Chen and Zhu's two lieutenants lost control, they all rushed to the north and south gates of Gu Yuncheng to fight for gold and silver on the ground, and then, there was a cannon sound in Gu Yuncheng, and the north gate and the south gate were opened at the same time, from which dozens of Japanese soldiers wearing Dongying samurai uniforms were killed, and their own sergeants who were blocked in front of the city wall were slashed with the Japanese swords in their hands.
Whether it is the weapons and shields of the sergeants, or the helmets and armor on their bodies, in the face of these bright swords in the hands of the Japanese robbers, they are all broken with a single knife, and they are not vulnerable to a single blow; many sergeants have just grabbed a few ingots of gold and silver, and they are so excited that they dance with their hands, and before they come to their senses, they are struck by the opponent's Japanese knives, and even the people with their armor are divided into two pieces, and blood is sprinkled all over the ground. In this way, in just a short time of tea, these dozens of widows who rushed out of the north and south gates of Gu Yuncheng had slaughtered hundreds of sergeants.
