0495, rescue the officers and soldiers
was busy until the fourth watch, and all the spies who infiltrated the city were finally dealt with secretly.
The two groups that killed the most people were Mandeli and Mo Jiuniang, who dealt with only about 100 people in the secret dens, but most of them were killed.
Yan Erniang's group killed more than 40 people, and more than 30 people were captured alive.
Xiong Chu killed a total of more than 20 people here, but in fact, he really killed only 10 people, and the other 10 people were kicked to death because they didn't grasp the proportions with their feet.
The guy in the last room turned out to be the commander-in-chief of this time, what was the name of "Dry Chicken Gong Zhang Er".
After Xiong Chu's on-site interrogation, the big shopkeeper of the inn had been killed, and the last woman's exclamation was that Xiong Chu kicked Zhang Er, the dry chicken, back onto the bed and suppressed a person.
This is a woman, the little wife of the innkeeper.
The nine women in the other rooms were all snatched by these men from three small brothels that night.
Naturally, Xiong Chu didn't keep it, and let it all go. During the Chinese New Year, it is a good time for people to do business, and they can't stand in the way of other people's money.
Zhang Er, the dry chicken man, was killed by Xiong Chu, which was to avenge the inn's shopkeeper.
As for the little wife of the big shopkeeper, she was stoned to death on the spot by Zhang Er, the dry chicken, and it can't be counted in the name of Xiong Chu.
At dawn, Tang Da and Chang Delin came back and reported: "Master, whether dead or alive, have all gathered in the inn near the south gate, and there are still five hundred and eighty-three people. We've sealed the door to the inn, what are we going to do now?"
"These people don't pay attention to them, and without a single one, their acupuncture points cannot be unlocked. Xiong Chu shook his head: "We have done what should be done, and then it depends on how the officers and soldiers respond, and then we will improvise." ”
"Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and after going to the imperial tomb tomorrow night to put on the lights, our task will be completed, and it will be time to retreat. Everyone has worked hard all night, now hurry up and take a break. ”
Boom Boom Boom Boom – Boom Boom –
Prince Xiong had just laid down to take a nap after lunch, and was about to return to the imperial tomb in the evening, when a rapid gong sounded on the street, and the entire Fengyang City was in chaos.
At this moment, Chang Delin rushed in: "Master, Zhang Xianzhong's second king, Zhang Jinjia, the vanguard led by Zhang Jinjia has arrived at the West Gate!"
The big battle was coming so soon, Xiong Chu jumped up from the bed and followed Chang Delin to the lobby on the first floor, only to find that everyone had been cleaned up and the horses were ready at the gate.
"Don't panic, everyone, close the doors and windows, and don't run around the streets, so as not to block the passage of the army. It's a bunch of rogues, but it's just a rabble. General Zhu Guoxiang has already led people out of the city to fight, and he is about to return triumphantly!"
Before Xiong Chu could speak, a group of street cavalry rushed over from the door, striking the gong and shouting to stabilize the hearts of the people.
"What is the origin of Zhu Guoxiang?" Prince Xiong asked as he looked at Chang Delin.
Tang Da said: "I heard that Zhu Guoxiang was a Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Wanli and had never fought a war. Usually high-flying, so yesterday I beat up my brother who reported the news. ”
There was already a faint roar of birds in the west, and the bear prince was a little anxious: "Tang Da, how many people are you going to take away?
"Like Deringo, I will take twenty-four of my brothers. My family didn't want me to stay in Fengyang for a long time, so they let me live in Changjia Village. Tang Da was a little angry: "Last year, my family asked me to find Zhu Guoxiang to be a soldier, but he didn't want me or Delingo. ”
Xiong Chu nodded: "There are a total of forty-eight people in the personal guards of the two of you, and a total of sixteen people on our side, a total of sixty-four people." If used well, it is not difficult to kill people from the enemy's encirclement. ”
"Remember, in case of encirclement in the future, I am responsible for opening the way in front, Erniang and Jiuniang protect the flanks, Chang Delin and Tang Da lead the brothers to respond in the center, and Mandeli leads the female soldiers to use the short guns behind the palace. Now let's go with me to the west gate and see how the battle is going between us and the enemy. ”
Sixty-four fast horses rushed to the west gate, but the gate was closed and could not get out.
A ten-captain guarding the city gate raised the spear in his hand: "There are rogues outside, and no one can enter or leave the city gate at will." ”
Xiong Chu said coldly: "If we are enemies, you leave us in the city, and we kill people and set fire to create a riot, and the whole city will collapse." If we weren't enemies and you didn't let us go out to fight, damn it. ”
As soon as he heard that Prince Xiong meant to go out of the city, Chang Delin waved his right hand, and twenty-four personal soldiers flew off their horses, and the iron spears in their hands rushed forward, and more than 20 soldiers guarding the city gate were already stopped aside, and Tang Da's personal soldiers rushed directly to the city gate and opened the gate.
Xiong Chu rushed out of the city gate cave first, and suddenly found that there was a lot of smoke and dust five miles to the west, and earth-shattering shouts and killings came one after another.
Xiong Chu pressed the saddle bridge with both hands, and immediately stood on the back of the horse and put his hands on the pergola to look ahead, and then exclaimed: "The official army has been defeated and retreated, everyone hurry up and get out of the city gate!"
It is very dangerous to block the passage of the defeated army, Xiong Chu urged Hulei Leopard to go south, Chang Delin and others are all from the general's mansion, of course they know that it is powerful, Hula rushed out three hundred zhang to the south at once, and completely let go of the West Gate passage.
At this moment, the whole earth began to tremble, the shouts of killing in front of him got closer and closer, and a group of panicked officers and soldiers appeared in sight.
Bursts of shouts also came one after another: "The cavalry of the Liukou is powerful, run-"
Chang Delin pointed forward with his spear: "Master, look, the guy who took the lead in running back on a black horse is Zhu Guoxiang." The two horseback generals behind him were the commanders Yuan Ruizheng and Lu Chengyin. ”
Although Prince Xiong didn't know these people, he had seen the entire battle situation in the west clearly.
The first group of defeated soldiers were all bird-guns, about 1,000 people carrying bird-guns, and about 700 people carrying fireropes.
These people are infantry, and the fire rate and firing speed of the arquebus are not good, and it is useless if there is no absolute numerical superiority. In the face of the enemy's cavalry, there was no way at all except to be slaughtered.
The cavalry of about 500 officers was behind the broken back, and the vanguard of 2,000 cavalry rushing from the west was entangled and retreated.
Yan Erniang stood on horseback and stared at the battle situation in the west, and said worriedly: "Xianggong, the 3,000 officers and soldiers will collapse at the first touch, and there are more than 300 casualties in sight, I think Fengyang City is in danger." ”
Mo Jiuniang also stood on horseback and looked westward, looked at the defeated soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and said with some concern:
"Brother, look at the five hundred or so people behind the palace, if you don't do it well, they will all be eaten by the enemy. During the charge of the cavalry of the righteous army, the two wings had slowly opened, and this was to make dumplings for the five hundred officers and soldiers. ”
Xiong Chu stood on the back of Hulei Leopard and nodded and said, "I know the cavalry of the second king Zhang Jinjia, their war horses. They are all the war horses that fell into the red part of the fire back then, or they are still gifts from me to Wang Jiayin. The horses of the officers and soldiers could not outrun them, and they were about to be surrounded. ”
After pondering for a moment, he looked back at Chang Delin and Tang Da, who were also nervously watching around him, and then Xiong Chu gritted his teeth and said: "Delin, Tang Da, if you see the battlefield, this is the battle." Hundreds of people will be killed in an instant, are you afraid? Brothers, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"That's good!" Xiong Chu had already sat on the horseback as soon as his feet slipped, and his right hand probed the situation, and the gold-dipped furnace gun was already in his hand: "The female soldiers are here to watch the enemy's formation, and the brother who is not afraid of death will come with me, and he must rescue five hundred cavalry!"
What Xiong Chu wanted to do was not to completely defeat the enemy, but to take the lead, fifty-one horses pulled in a straight line, close to the front line of the homeless rebels, and struck over, in order to separate the entanglement of the two armies.
Shoveling from south to north, the first thing to contact was the right flank of the Wandering Volunteers.
Prince Xiong also knew that with only his fifty or so people, he would definitely not be able to withstand the frontal collision of five hundred cavalry. Otherwise, it is not to save people, but to find death.
Therefore, he increased his internal strength to seventy, and the gold-dipped furnace gun in his hand did not look for anyone, but made a backhand horizontal pump, and the front legs of the three war horses on the enemy's front line were split.
Hulei Leopard galloped like a bolt of lightning, and the war horse that rushed up behind the enemy suddenly had a big problem.
Because the first three horses fell to the ground, they became ready-made tripwires, and the cascading effect naturally occurred synchronously.
As soon as the enemy behind slowed down, Chang Delin rushed over wielding an iron spear, learning from his master's example, and also gave the enemy behind him a moment, and made two broken leg horses.
The forty-eight soldiers who followed were all the same iron spears, many times more neat than the weapons of the outcasts, and each of them waved their spears and walked away without stopping at all.
It was the turn of the temple to rush up and stab to death a horse that had just broken through the obstacles. As a result, fifty-one people rushed over, smashed the front legs of more than sixty war horses, and immediately held back the advance of the right flank of the rebel army.
Prince Xiong dared to adopt this strategy, that is, he found that the cavalry of the Wandering Rebels were all swords, and they were powerless in the face of iron spears. Incompetence is length, weight, not on the same level.
Xiong Chu created obstacles in front, Chang Delin followed closely behind to expand the results, and forty-eight personal soldiers swept past to pick up the cheap, leaving Tang Da to pick up the leak at the end.
In three breaths, Xiong Chu had already rushed to the core area of the battle, and with a roar of his arms, he directly picked up a horse and smashed it into the entangled crowd.
This time it takes at least eight hundred catties of strength, if it weren't for the fact that Xiong Chu had already lifted up the internal force of his whole body, if it wasn't for the strength of Hulei Leopard being strong enough, this would be impossible to achieve.
Xiong Chu also knew that he would definitely kill a lot of people at this time, but this was the only way to kill the fewest people.
With too much force, Xiong Chu suddenly felt that his inner mansion was surging with blood, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, almost losing the strength to fight again.
Fortunately, Chang Delin then rushed in, and when the people on the two sides in front of him were disrupted, his war horse had already rushed to the center, and he swept away with both hands with an iron spear, forcing everyone on both sides of the enemy to retreat.
As the forty-eight pro-soldiers from behind broke through, the impact momentum of the displaced rebels was finally contained.
Because Chang Delin's spear swept away, he saw a general with a spear while forcing the crowd back, and then rushed to him.
With Chang Delin's buffer, Xiong Chu finally took a breath, hung the gold-dipped furnace gun on the victory hook, patted the horse's neck with his left hand, and pressed the saddle bridge with his right hand, and the whole person had already flew.
Hulei Leopard and Xiong Chu have a heart-to-heart connection, and at the same time as Xiong Chu takes off, Hulei Leopard turns around and flies towards the place where Yan Erniang and the others are.
With a bang, Xiong Chu had already pulled out the Qingyu Sword in the air, and the pale yellow sword qi more than three feet long was volleyed into the air, and all the more than a dozen horse chopping knives on the front line of the Wandering Volunteers were cut off.
Xiong Chu did not fall to the ground, and stepped on the heads of people and horses with his feet, and the target was the enemy general who was fighting with Chang Delin.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, this is a universal principle.
