Chapter 67 Blitz
The Ming army in Jinhua outside the city was extremely fast. In the early morning when the city gate had just been opened, the defenders on the city discovered the Ming army light cavalry that appeared in the distance in the mist. When the guards received the report and led the team to the city, and then to the Ming army infantry outside the city had been arranged in a row, it was actually less than a quarter of an hour. Instead, the defenders in the military camps in the west of the city were still climbing the city wall one after another.
Fortunately, the gates of Xicheng and Nancheng have never been opened since the beginning of the rebellion. On weekdays, the woodcutting and transactions were carried out from the East City Gate facing the city. Moreover, the Jinhua Ming army outside the city did not seem to carry too many siege equipment, and the infantry carried some ladders, but it was not enough for the western city wall with a moat as a defense. At least it was not very convenient to attack the city by relying on the ladders before the moat was taken away or filled.
To quell the rebellion?
However, this question just came to my mind, and a burst of death shouts came from the direction of Yingxu Sect, from far to near.
……………………
Since the rebels had occupied Tangxi County, if the Ming army in Jinhua returned to quell the rebellion, the Tongqu Gate in the west of the city and the Luhua Gate in the south of the city were obviously the most likely targets of raids. Therefore, after Tangxi County fell to the rebellious governor's yamen, only Yingxu Gate in the East City would open as usual every day. Otherwise, there would be no import of woodcuts and rice from outside the city for a long time, so the Ming army would not have to return. The people in the city and the local new soldiers in Tangxi County who had just recruited would inexplicably cut off contact with the outside world and wanted to starve their garrison to death. The magistrate and others would tie them up to Chen Wen.
Although Tangxi County is not as convenient as Lanxi and Longyou and Jinhua, and relatively closed, there have always been many exchanges inside and outside the city. Originally, three city gates were opened, but now only one East City Gate is left, which not only caused inconvenience to the people inside and outside the city, but also completely suppressed traffic pressure on this city gate.
Less than a quarter of an hour ago, the Ming army outside the West City Gate had not appeared in the sight of the defenders, and the East City Gate still opened the city gate at this time as usual.
Although the city gate has been opened for a while, the people entering and leaving the city gate are still as continuous as before. Except for the captain and two sergeant commanders who came from Fubiao Camp, the others were recruited in the county not long ago. For the past half month, they were only opening this city gate and traveling with each other, they also knew that the local people had a lot of complaints, so they would depend on the situation during the inspection and try not to cause blockage.
Among the crowds entering the city, Chen Fugui slowly moved towards the city gate in a heavy ox cart full of charcoal. For this veteran who had joined Nantang Camp during the Dalan Mountains, if he had not been transferred to the cavalry by his old boss during the expansion of the army this year, he would probably have never been able to do the old business before joining the army.
However, his first official battle, who was keen on riding and fighting, still couldn't even touch the horse. Instead, he drove a ox cart into the city, and how he thought it was weird.
The crowd kept moving forward, getting closer and closer to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city wearing Ming army uniforms that they usually used to look at the people who left the city. Instead, those who entered the city had to take a closer look. I don’t know if these were due to the instructing of their superiors, but for Chen Fugui, this charcoal-pulling ox cart was not the kind of cart that had built a mezzanine when he was in Tiantai County last time. He and the weapons of the peer-passenger behind him were hidden under a thin layer of charcoal. Such a review was obviously impossible to pass.
After a while, the several people entering the city had finished the review one by one, while the vegetable farmer carrying the load in front walked closer to the defenders.
The next one was him. Chen Fugui turned his head and winked at the disguised picks behind him. Then he pulled out the pair of iron maces hidden in the charcoal and smashed them towards the defender carrying a spear that was walking towards him!
A sudden change occurred. The defender was not as good as the iron mace with a spear, especially he was a recruit who had only been in the camp for half a month. Under Chen Fugui's attack like a mad tiger, he fell to the ground before he could even react.
Seeing this scene, the people widened their eyes, but they began to scream and run away in panic. At this time, they no longer cared about the defenders outside the city who were being raided by other Ming army front-sellers. The defenders in charge of the city gate, under the command of the captain, quickly pushed the heavy gate and tried to close the threat outside the city.
The red and white ones on the iron mace were still dripping down. Seeing the defenders closing the city gate, Chen Fugui ignored the other defenders and rushed over with the iron mace.
Relying on his career as a charcoal burner for many years, Chen Fugui's body is much stronger than that of ordinary people. In addition, he has been able to eat a lot in the army in the past two years, and with reasonable training, Chen Fugui, who is almost a human-shaped road roller, knocked over several escaped pedestrians who were blocking his advance and rushed straight into the city gate that was about to be closed.
Chen Fugui pounced in at the last moment. When he stood firm, he casually slapped the two defenders beside him who were still closing the city gate to the ground. When he turned his focal length again, he saw that the defenders who were guarding the city gate had listed a mandarin duck formation with only fire soldiers and a spearman, and even began to tremble under the command of the captain.
As an infantryman, Chen Fugui served as a wolf wizard in the killer team of the Yuanyang Formation, the leader and the captain. He was very familiar with the transformation of the Yuanyang Formation. At a glance, the opponent actually put on a vertical formation to reduce the attack area on the battlefield, and was attacking him.
Chen Fugui never knew his wiseness. The enemy's army should have made him feel very uncomfortable. However, since the opponent had already started to attack slowly, he shouted and rushed towards the defenders as if he was flying. The first target he had set out to see was the rookie rattan player in the front right who had not realized that his position was a bit too convex, and had already escaped from the protection of the wolf wicket and long card players in the vertical formation...
A moment later, the city gate was opened again under the push of the selective frontmen who had completely killed the defenders outside the city. Instead, Chen Fugui, who was the first to enter the closed city gate, was still holding the two iron maces in his hand stained with more blood and brains, and sighed in confusion.
"This is also worthy of being called the Mandarin Duck Formation?"
