Upon hearing the agreed three whistles, the death battalion immediately began to take action. In order to be suitable for urban street fighting, the light cavalry put on heavy armor and replaced it with long guns, and the heavy infantry battalion replaced it with nine-foot-long fighting guns.
They formed a steel phalanx and drove towards the governor's office. Leading the way was a newly repaired armored chariot. The machine gun filled with bullets rotated majestically. Wherever the tracks touched, the bluestone ground was broken. Then
There are ballistas and steam cannons, followed by heavy infantry and cavalry.
Yanzhou City is a city full of soldiers. When they saw a small army marching toward the governor's camp with murderous intent, many Xuzhou soldiers were extremely surprised and hurriedly reported to their superiors that all the generals had gone to the banquet.
People flew to report to their superiors, but only the military discipline team responsible for public security in the city came to stop them without hesitation. Zhong Shouyong, who was sitting on the chariot, said earnestly to the commander of the military discipline team: "Cui Chengxiu wants to harm Marshal Yuan and the generals. We are going to rescue him."
, get out of the way?" But the people in the Military Disciplinary Corps don't accept this. No matter what you say, you can't run rampant in the city like this. It's right to put down your weapons and return to the camp. Otherwise, the military law will be punished according to the crime of gathering and rioting.
Beheaded.
Behead your mother! You can't do it softly, or hard. Captain Zhong ordered the chariot to ram forward at full speed. There is no "traffic law" that favors pedestrians these days. The military discipline team did not dare to use its arms against the car, so they had to get out of the way and turn around.
Block the path of the heavy infantry behind.
Antony's heavy infantry are even more difficult to mess with. They are all tall barbarians. They have a five-foot-tall shield pushed in front of them and a nine-foot-long spear held flat. You can block it as long as you feel like it.
If your body is made of iron, just block it. The guys in the military discipline team also walked sideways, and they were not accustomed to this foreign style. They waved water and fire sticks and hit them, knocking the shields of the heavy infantry with a clang. Anthony was anxious.
, General Liu had told him that anyone who blocked the road would be killed without mercy. He immediately ordered the arrows to be fired.
Several rows of crossbows were raised in the middle of the phalanx, and a burst of arrows rained down. The military discipline team left the corpses on the ground and fled to find reinforcements, while the death battalion continued to advance.
Originally, according to Fan Wencheng's plan, three thousand Zhejiang troops surrounded Prince Lu's Mansion, equipped with hundreds of swordsmen and axe-hands, plus the poisonous wine of Ten Muscles and Cartilage Powder, everything was foolproof! But everything was disturbed by Liu Ziguang, and now Fan Wencheng and Cui Chengxiu
They all fled in a hurry to the back hall of the palace. The guy in red clothes who was as scary as the King of Hell was chasing after him with a knife, leaving corpses on the ground behind him. Even Fan Wencheng's personal guard, the martial arts master Song Qingfeng, was
You can't stop him for even a moment, this man is not a human being, he is a devil!
He had already escaped into the back hall where he lived. The door was closed tightly, and a group of soldiers held the door latch with a big piece of wood. Now the devil couldn't get in. Sure enough, Liu Ziguang stopped after kicking for more than a dozen times. He knocked
Knocking on his own head, "What's my IQ?"
Then he walked aside, ran straight up the palace wall, climbed over the wall, and landed lightly in front of Cui Chengxiu and Fan Wencheng, who had recovered from the shock. The two were shocked, turned around and fled. The soldiers hurriedly waved their swords and stepped forward to cover Liu Ziguang.
He took care of them three times, ran a few steps, grabbed two guys with each hand, and threw them to the ground hard, knocking them to pieces. Liu Ziguang inserted the Baihong knife back into his waist and lifted the two guys.
People went straight to Yin'an Palace.
The armored tanks of the Death Battalion had already arrived near the palace. Two thousand Zhejiang troops blocked the palace and prohibited anyone from entering or exiting. They didn't even say a word and immediately started fighting. The machine guns on the tanks were driven by the internal combustion engine and the huge cylinders kept firing.
A sudden release of gas is used to push the spring-fed metal spike to launch. The soft bullet body made of lead fills the barrel, rotates under the action of several rotating riflings in the barrel, and then spurts out like raindrops.
In the case of the Zhejiang army, the sharp bullets penetrated the soldiers' armor, causing immediate death and injury.
The Zhejiang army did not hesitate. They brought out a dozen crossbow vehicles and fired fiercely. The shrewd archers found the weak points of the chariots. The all-iron crossbow arrows shot into the gaps of the track wheels, blocking the wheels, and the underpowered internal combustion engine sputtered.
The fire went out after a few blasts, and all the bullets were fired after a few rounds. The Zhejiang army's morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed over with shouts. The ballistas of the death battalion followed closely with a burst of fire, and the steam cannon also roared, hitting the palace gate.
Blood and blood flew everywhere in front of them. Both sides did not carry many crossbows, and after they finished shooting, they were fighting hand-to-hand again.
The Zhejiang army was not a coward. Even after so many brothers died, they still charged forward. The death battalion had no choice but to pull up the heavy infantry. The steel phalanx advanced slowly but resolutely. The Zhejiang army shouted and rushed up in a swarm. The battle was between the palace and the palace.
Something happened between the neighbor's courtyard walls. The narrow alley was crowded with people. The heavy infantry's shields were firmly pressed against the ground. The tripod was also lowered. The first row of soldiers holding the shields stood in a lunge.
Firmly blocking the crazy attack of the Zhejiang army, the crowds kept hitting, and the swords and guns stabbed at the shields, forming a chaotic metal symphony. The death battalion formed a steel battle formation, with shields protecting the front, rear, left and right, even if there were Zhejiang troops
Climbing up a high wall and shooting arrows down won't help.
Anthony saw that the time was almost up and shouted: "Push!" All the soldiers worked together, the back row pushed the front row, and the front row pushed forward with their shields. The powerful force pushed the Zhejiang army to their knees, and then the shields were locked.
Dodging the gaps, the nine-foot iron spear thrust forward wildly, skewering the densely packed Zhejiang army into candied haws. There were screams for a while, and the heavy infantry retracted their formation, retracted their spears, and advanced a few steps forward.
, and then stabbed again. The Zhejiang army was helpless against this tactic for a while. The blood on the ground submerged the heels of the leather boots. The heavy infantry's iron-clad boots made a harsh sound on the stone ground, and they were still advancing resolutely.
Behind them were even more terrifying heavy cavalry in full iron armor. The Zhejiang army finally couldn't hold on any longer and was about to collapse when a flag officer ran out of the palace and breathlessly passed an order to the Zhejiang army's general: "Your Excellency Shangshu
Order to stop resistance."
This order was given by Cui Chengxiu who had the knife on his neck. Now sitting on the table in Yin'an Hall was Liu Ziguang. The steel knife in his left hand was on Cui Chengxiu's neck. He stepped on Fan Wencheng with his right foot and held it in his right hand.
The ivory chopsticks flicked all over the plate.
"Well, this grilled prawn is good, it tastes authentic, the sweet and sour Yellow River carp is also good, it's tasty enough, eh, this nine-turn large intestine is not authentic, why is there still turd in it?" Liu Ziguang commented as he ate his food, in fact, for Shandong cuisine
He knows nothing.
"Tell me, why is there a piece of shit? Is this the good cook you are looking for?" Liu Ziguang asked Cui Chengxiu holding a black peppercorn between his hands.
Cui Chengxiu had a sharp knife on his neck, which had already cut a bloody line. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. He had just tried to persuade Liu Ziguang to bribe Liu Ziguang with the price of the Shandong General Soldier and 500,000 taels of silver, but he remained unmoved.
, he also accused Liu Ziguang of kidnapping an official of the imperial court, and he did not accept this trick any more. The emperor called me Brother Liu for any official of the imperial court, and I will treat you as the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Liu Ziguang continued to eat the nine-turn large intestine with "shit" in it. After eating a few mouthfuls, he took a few mouthfuls of wine from the wine bottle and blew on it. This was Cui Chengxiu's table. Of course, there was no poison in the wine. He drank until he was happy and couldn't help but feel his right foot.
Fan Wencheng was slapped on the back, stomping on the most dignified civil servant of the Qing Dynasty until he vomited stomach acid.
Fan Wencheng's kerchief fell off, revealing his livid scalp and Manchu hairstyle with a money rat tail. Everyone below was still stunned. Not to mention the generals who drank poisonous wine, even Cui Chengxiu's pacesetters were also puzzled.
The mysterious guest next to Lord Shangshu is actually a Manchu, which is really incredible.
Seeing that Liu Ziguang had the upper hand, Mao Wenlong was glad that he was standing in the right direction this time. This is Yanzhou after all, and it is Yuan Chonghuan's territory. It is not easy for an army of 80,000 to deal with 3,000 Zhejiang troops. Yuan Chonghuan will soon be able to turn his losses around. He
He led his subordinates to protect the poisoned generals with knives, and faced off against the pacesetters outside the palace. He looked so upright that even Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but blame himself secretly. It's really too bad that such a loyal and courageous man wants to annex others.
Not kind anymore.
Yuan Chonghuan had put on his official uniform and gauze hat again. Now the fighting in all aspects had stopped under Cui Chengxiu's order, and the death battalion had entered the palace. The situation took a turn for the worse. Yuan Chonghuan took out the tiger charm and sent Wu Sangui to mobilize his own military battalion to take over.
Wu Sangui took the order, and several generals of the Zhejiang Army were called to Yin'an Palace by Liu Ziguang, threatening to kill Cui Chengxiu. Now Yin'an Palace has been controlled by the Death Battalion, and Zhou Mengren, who pretended to be a soldier, has also been replaced by a scribe
Dressed up like that, he told everyone about Cui Chengxiu's plot. But the following paragraph was changed to kill Yuan Chonghuan, sacrifice Yanzhou City, and everyone would shave their heads and become traitors.
Zhou Mengren's identity is known to all the officers and soldiers of the Model Battalion. He is the most trusted aide of Lord Shangshu. Now he has come out to say that Cui Chengxiu colluded with the Manchus and murdered Yuan Chonghuan. That is probably true. Not to mention there is a model essay.
Cheng was lying there, with Manchu's big braids as living proof.
The pacesetters are all close confidants of Cui Chengxiu, and they have received many favors from Lord Shangshu on weekdays. If they want to fight against the Xuzhou army and the Queen Mother's men, it is no problem, but now it is impossible for them to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and become traitors.
The Zhejiang troops were even more unhappy. It turned out that they were aiding the enemy in the battle. Their eyes were searching for their leader Miao Kejian, but Lord Miao had already seen that the situation was not good and had slipped away.
Zu Dashou also promptly took out the bag of Wuhu military rations and rice from his waist and accused Cui Chengxiu and Miao Kejian of selling military rations to the Qing Dynasty, which angered everyone even more. No bloody man could tolerate such traitorous behavior.
"Cui Chengxiu's crime of betraying his country and surrendering to the enemy is unforgivable. However, I will not violate the imperial court's ancestral rules and execute him on the spot. I will uphold the imperial court's rule before he is punished in a canonical manner. The men from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who are present and the pacesetters in the capital, I will never
I don’t believe that you will cut off your hair and become a Qing Dynasty. This is because you have been deceived by traitors. As long as you turn back, I will be lenient." Yuan Chonghuan started ideological and political work.
"Dang clang" a steel knife was thrown to the ground. It was the weapon of the pacesetters under Cui Chengxiu. Similar sounds were heard one after another. The Zhejiang army and the pacesetters all put down their weapons. Their families and children were all in the south. Surrendering to the Qing Dynasty was an absolute success.
It's impossible. There are 80,000 Xuzhou troops outside now. Surrendering is undoubtedly the best choice.
Soldiers from the death camp came to take over Cui Chengxiu and Fan Wencheng. Liu Ziguang also had his fill of food and wine, stood up and stretched. Yuan Chonghuan looked over gratefully. Just as he was about to say thank you, his eyes were attracted by the jade pendant around his waist.
Yes, this is the thank you gift given to the little emperor by Liu Ziguang after he rescued him when the flying man fell into the water.
What a flawless jade pendant, the whole body is green without any variegation. There is a delicate phoenix embossed on the round jade pendant. The workmanship is exquisite, and every feather is carved with meticulous detail. Yuan Chonghuan remembered that his teacher Sun Chengzong also had the same jade pendant.
However, the one carved is a phoenix, which should be a pair with Liu Ziguang. It was personally gifted to Sun Taishi by the current emperor, and its significance is extraordinary. Is there any relationship between this young man and the emperor?
Yuan Chonghuan was wondering when suddenly Wu Sangui ran in and loudly reported: "Commander, something bad has happened. The Tatars are attacking the city in a big way. Let us hand over Fan Wencheng. The east and west camps are under attack respectively. Now they are raising beacons to ask for support.
Teng County sent people to ask for help, saying that they were attacked by the Qing army and millions of stones of food and grass were burned to the ground. The situation is extremely critical!"
