Chapter 172 Variables(2/2)
Just look at this attitude, you can tell that these people must have discussed it when they came. Who wouldn’t be more careful in this situation?
Fortunately, these guards were not Manchu braided soldiers but Luo Jinxiu's Han military flag, otherwise many people would have to consider whether they should go in.
Next to them were Han army "guards" holding swords and guns, and a large group of mercenaries came in one after another.
From time to time, fully armed Manchurian braided soldiers ran past in groups, with their eyes shining fiercely.
Looking at the Han army and Manchu soldiers who were lifted and unsheathed, everyone felt powerless as if they were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the one
But since I walked in, it was useless to say anything, so I could only walk forward with a tough bullet.
The sword he carried with him was confiscated at the door, making people feel more and more dangerous.
But there were Han troops everywhere, and several teams of Manchu soldiers kept looking here. Who could still make a high-profile appearance?
Fortunately, Luo Jinxiu still looked smiling in the hall, which made everyone feel a illusory sense of peace.
Compared with Luo Jinxiu's smile-faced Buddha's appearance, the Manchu generals next to him were as fierce as the evil Rakshasa ghost. They stared at these new officers, as if they were looking at the prey falling into a trap, and their eyes were like a sharp awl.
As soon as everyone entered the house, the door of the room was closed tightly with a "bang". Then the soldiers ran and footsteps, which obviously surrounded the place.
Situ Qianzhong was already sure that this was a "Hongmen Banquet". Although he was trembling in his heart, he was still waiting for the "good" actions of the highest commanders such as Luo Jinxiu. At the same time, he looked around and saw if there was anything that could be used as a weapon.
I can't rely on other people's kindness all for my own lives. If it comes to the critical moment, the Manchu generals and Zuo Ke on the opposite side are all with swords and can only pick up a chair and talk about it for a few times.
Situ Qianzhong moved his body to the side intentionally or unintentionally, subconsciously putting his hands on the armrest of the chair.
"You are all the pillars of Kaifeng. Whether you can defend this city depends on your joint efforts." Luo Jinxiu tried to relax his tone, as if he was talking about family matters: "In recent days, there have been many rumors in the army..."
"Get on, stop talking nonsense." A Manchu genital leader pulled out his knife with a "slap" and shouted: "Puo, kill these slaves..."
Facing the sudden raised butcher knife, although it was very shocked, fortunately everyone was mentally prepared and were all fierce people who had been fighting for the rest of their lives on the battlefield. They dodged the knife and roared and started fighting with the Manchu general Zuo.
The scene was chaotic in an instant, and a few shrill screams sounded, and it was obvious that someone was seriously injured.
Situ Qianzhong reached out and pulled over the chair, rushed a few steps, and rushed straight to Luo Jinxiu with the chair.
"Capture the king first", the Han army and Tartar soldiers outside will rush in in the blink of an eye. No matter how brave it is, they will be nothing to bear. Only by taking the leader Luo Jinxiu first will you have a chance.
Luo Jinxiu turned around and ran back, shouting: "Comeone--"
At the moment of "bang" and "bang", the door of the room was kicked open by the Han army outside. He stabbed and killed with swords and guns, and instantly stabbed several people into sieves...
All of these were Situ Qianzhong expected, and he didn't look back at all, and he caught up in just a few steps.
Suddenly, two teams of Han soldiers holding long swords rushed out of the halls on the left and right, protected Luo Jinxiu tightly, held the knife and shouted, and rushed over.
"It's over!" Unexpectedly, there were troops arranged inside. Situ Qianzhong knew that he could not count on anything and closed his eyes in pain.
Unexpectedly, the Tartars and Luo Jinxiu were so cruel and had to work hard at the risk of a mutiny in the New Army.
Screams around him came one after another, and after a moment, only a shallow moan was left...
This sound is unique before death. Situ Qianzhong, who had seen the formation, has heard it many times, and these unlucky ghosts will die if they can't moan a few times.
wrong.
Why haven't you attacked me yet?
Situ Qianzhong was still clutching the chair in his hand. When he looked back, he was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close.
Those who fell in the pool of blood were all the Manchu generals, and the Han soldiers rushing in were still counting the number of people with knives.
Like Situ Qianzhong, many people still don’t understand what’s going on.
I thought it would be someone who would be the slaughter and I would be the fish, but I didn’t expect that those Manchu generals who wanted to be the slaughter and became the fish.
"Everyone, hurry up and summon brothers. The Han army here will not last long, so hurry up." Luo Jinxiu shouted: "If you have the chance, open the city gate. If the army goes to the death, don't come in, the matter in the city will not be over!"
To defend Kaifeng to the death, Luo Jinxiu and his Han army flag would have no other choice except surrendering and going to the death. They forced the new affiliated army to be tied to a chariot, and they would have a dead end. But if they surrender, they would inevitably be killed first. Luo Jinxiu had only one last way: kill the Tartars first, and then surrender.
Situ Qianzhong first reacted, said nothing, ran out like flying.
The Han army around had already fought with the Manchu soldiers. Even Situ Qianzhong could not have thought that Luo Jinxiu would suddenly turn against him. These Manchu braided soldiers were even more unexpected. They were caught off guard by the Han army. Many people didn't understand what was going on, so they were hacked to death by the Han army.
Even those Manchu soldiers who were still resisting were divided and surrounded by the Han army that had been prepared and were being killed one by one.
This kind of thing cannot be concealed for much time. It will soon be known by the Manchurian brigade stationed everywhere, and will rush over in an instant. At this time, the reaction speed is compared.
Situ Qianzhong ran out for no reason and grabbed a horse on the way. No matter which camp the messenger was, he dragged his horse and kicked it, and then ran away.
The brothers in the camp were still preparing to cause trouble, and suddenly they saw a horse rushing in like crazy.
At this time, everyone was very vigilant and perverted. Whenever there was any movement, it would cause a big noise. After all the bows and arrows in their hands were pulled open, it was Situ Qianzhong's voice: "Brothers, search the guys, hurry up and search the guys..."
"Brother, is this going to be the opposite?" When everyone saw Situ Qianzhong's attitude, they were all very clear in their hearts. They must have just experienced "Hongmen Banquet", and it must have been the Tartars who attacked everyone.
However, Situ Qianzhong was able to run out and was not injured at all. He was so brave that he was so unreasonable.
"Rebel, resist quickly, the fuck Luo Jinxiu will rebel first..."
"Luo Jinxiu?" Everyone really couldn't understand the twists and turns here.
The old brothers gathered people and copied the swords, guns and arrows, but no one knew what to do, and no one knew where to rush.
"Open the door," it doesn't work well to go to Luo Jinxiu at this time, because the Tartars army must be running there too. Whether it is for their own people or for Luo Jinxiu, they can open the city gate as quickly as possible and let the dead army come in, so as to calm the situation as soon as possible.
If you don’t have the help of the dead army, you can kill the Tartars? I still have some questions.
...
Situ Qianzhong lit two big fires at the gate of the city so that the distant army could see the open city gate clearly, and stomped their feet anxiously: "Come here, come here quickly..."
Just to open the city gate, the New Affiliated Army and the Manchu soldiers guarding the city fought a tough battle, which really hurt many brothers. Fortunately, they took advantage of the surprise attack, and the Manchu soldiers guarding the city did not understand what was going on inside. Although they were very suspicious of the New Affiliated Army who suddenly arrived, they did not expect that they would suddenly rebel.
The new affiliated troops in the defense already occupied the majority, and soon another new affiliated troops came over. Relying on the large number of people, they started fighting. Finally, they killed the Tartar soldiers guarding the city gate. The remaining those who fled and left had no intention of chasing them. Everyone rushed forward, moved the bricks and stones that blocked the city gate, and worked together to open the city gate...
"Why are you still not here? Didn't you say that the army to die is a magic weapon? I think it's a bullshit..." Situ Qianzhong kept stomping his feet in the cold wind, not knowing whether it was because it was cold or was really anxious.
There was a fire in the city, and you could hear the shouts of killing. Why is the army to die still coming?
When his wife gave birth to a child, Situ Qianzhong was not so anxious, but this matter involved tens of thousands of lives, which was even more urgent than his wife gave birth to a child...
"Here, come, there is something happening, it's really here." The old brother beside him shouted excitedly, pointing to a black line in the distance and shouting: "Come here-"
Under the snow light around, a line that was darker than the night appeared in the field of vision in the ignorant dark night. In the blink of an eye, it was very close, and you could see a huge team approaching quickly.
In a short while, the vanguard of the army that went to the death had already arrived. Hundreds of fierce soldiers ran over without saying a word, guarding the city gate, and instead squeezed Situ Qianzhong and others aside.
Then a team of hundreds of people reached the city. In the dark night, Situ Qianzhong couldn't see where the other party's chief was, nor did he know who to talk about this matter. He could only shout: "We are Kaifeng's righteous army, we are fighting with the Tartars. Brothers who go to the death will come into the city quickly..."
No matter what, Situ Qianzhong bit him to death and said that he was a righteous army and was not a prisoner at all.
Because of this voice, Situ Qianzhong was brought over by several pairs of big hands.
It was black and black, and Situ Qianzhong couldn't see the other party's face clearly, so he heard a muffled voice: "Take me to find the main force of the Tartars..."
Even Li Si himself did not expect that the blackmail tactic would work so quickly.
Military blackmail, tactical blackmail, Li Si plays tricks. In the parallel time and space before, a little beard has played this game to the point of perfection and blackmailing one country and region after another. Compared with that person, Li Si's little movement is just a house.
Because the population base is too small, even if it is really a heavenly soldier and general, it is impossible for him to fully occupy half of the Ming Empire. How many people are there in Manchuria? There are still tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers left? If the Manchus had not used the power of the new affiliated army, they might have been able to dominate in a small area. If they were scattered on such an unprecedentedly vast land, they would have been unable to achieve real domination in the actual sense.
Especially when the enemy cannot be defeated quickly with elite troops, the defeat of Manchuria is a foregone conclusion. This is an assertion made based on the fundamental strength of both sides, and no one can change it.
When Dorgon carried the remaining power of defeating Li Chuang and when Duoduo attacked Huaiyang with his unstoppable force, these problems were covered up by unprecedented military victory. Local forces also began to rely on this powerful man and assisted them in ruling various regions. However, when the Manchus showed signs of fatigue, especially when they could not move from one victory to another in military force, it was impossible to control the new affiliated army.
Especially in Kaifeng, no matter what, the heroic defensive party can no longer be defended. Apart from increasing the guard time, the heroic defensive party has no practical significance.
Li Si's "Must Down in Three Days" in Kaifeng's war letter is actually a blackmail and a catalyst, which makes the new army in the city feel at ease.
In the expectation, there should be a bloody and fierce battle here in Kaifeng. Although this battle with great casualties is indeed heartbreaking, Kaifeng must be opened and the price must be paid. Therefore, Li Si has been actively using the Earthly Branch Camp, but instead tried to put the main force of the Heavenly Stems behind.
In the final decisive moment, the new affiliated army would definitely surrender in a large-scale situation, and even turn against each other in the face of the battle. As for the overly optimistic expectation of taking the initiative to fight with the Tartars and then opening the city gate, Li Si really didn't expect it.
When a fire broke out on the top of Aifeng city, many people saw the open city gate. But this kind of thing was too incredible. The real decisive battle has not yet begun, so why did the city be dedicated? Will there be a meaning of war here?
Although this kind of thing is a bit unexpected, it is not too much. In this tough attack and defensive battle, opening the city gate and believing surrender is simply a whimsical idea.
So Li Si and Li Dashui immediately sent two local camps and one Tiantan camp, and there was no need to mobilize the team of troops urgently. He thought that it was just a command to move out of preparation at any time.
When the sky began to turn brightly, the main force of the army to die had already arrived. The shouts of killing in the city continued, and the huge number of Tartar soldiers could not be wiped out by speaking.
Not to mention more than 10,000 Tartar soldiers, it would take considerable time to kill all 10,000 ducks.
There was a new army with familiar terrain in front, and a army with great combat effectiveness behind it. The recovery of Kaifeng has been completed, and there is no suspense in the final victory.
Chapter completed!
