Everything he saw before his eyes was so abnormal. He didn't believe that those Ming troops surrendered without even fighting. These were the Ming troops, not other bandits in the mountains. How could they surrender so easily? ?
Could it be that they have elite soldiers ambushing him behind the city gate, waiting to attack him when he leads someone into the city due to his carelessness?
Or is it that there are other Ming troops ambushing nearby, waiting for me to relax my vigilance, and sneak attack me from behind, and cooperate with the Ming troops in the city inside and outside?
In this short moment, a series of various conspiracies emerged in Li Xuan's mind, and his end in these conspiracies was not so good. Under such circumstances, his cold sweat instantly soaked the clothes on his back.
He looked at the strange white flag on top of the city in front of him. There seemed to be hundreds of elite soldiers hidden behind the city gate, waiting for him to take the initiative to send them to the door.
Then he looked back at the wilderness in the distance. The wilderness under the gloomy sky was gray. It seemed that before long, an elite Ming army would appear from the gray horizon of the wilderness and rush towards him!
We can't move on any further. If we continue, we may really be ambushed!
He immediately reined in his horse and raised his right hand to signal the troops to stop advancing.
At this time, his face was gloomy, and he was already considering whether to order a retreat immediately.
Unlike Li Xuan, who had many doubts, other people in the Tang Dynasty Royal Division were quite excited after seeing the white flag on the top of the city.
Fang Dongquan even walked up to Li Xuan: "Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty!"
But at this time Qian Mengjiu said: "How could they surrender?"
"Why can't we surrender? We have four to five hundred people, and there are also Guards to help. They are only two hundred county warriors. They feel that they can't fight but don't want to die. Isn't it normal to surrender?" At this time, Huang Xueren came up. Said: "What's more, those Ming troops are not guards, they are just some county braves and ordinary young men!"
Qian Mengjiu said: "But I still think we should be more cautious. If they pretend to surrender, they will be in trouble!"
Butcher Chen said: "What's there to be afraid of? Let them throw away their weapons and come out empty-handed. Then they won't be at our mercy!"
Butcher Chen's words were approved by many people, and several people nodded in unison.
However, Liu Bagou showed a trace of doubt at this moment and said: "If they really surrender, then do we want to surrender?"
"Why don't you surrender? The enemy surrendered and dedicated the city without even fighting. Where can you find such a good thing!" Butcher Chen said carelessly: "This is something you won't encounter in normal times..."
But halfway through his words, he stopped, and then he suddenly frowned as if he remembered something, and then murmured: "If we take Longhua Town, then the Ming army..."
Without him having to say anything, Wang Shanxu on the side intervened: "The Ming army must be shaken, and it will not end well by then!"
The words of these two people immediately attracted the attention of others, and then their expressions became extremely complicated.
Because they all know that once Longhua Town is captured, it will definitely cause a shock to the Ming army. Their group of little bandits may come into the sight of the higher-ups of the Ming army, such as the Chief Envoy. By then, the Tang Dynasty will The pressure we need to face is not just two thousand households and one thousand regular troops, but there may be thousands of guards.
Therefore, whether the situation in front of them was a false surrender or a real surrender, it was beyond their expectations. According to their original plan, this morning they should use the range advantage of the musketeers to go up and fire a few rounds of volleys without firing.
He is so powerful, just pretend to scare those Ming troops.
Then they left in the afternoon!
But now, these Ming troops are going to surrender the city?
Whether this is a false surrender or a real surrender, it will be a troublesome matter for the Huangzhushan bandits.
After everyone struggled for a moment, Bai Yunqi stepped forward and said, "How about we ignore them for now? Or go up and fire two rounds of volleys according to the original plan, and then check the situation?"
Li Xuan listened to Bai Yunqi's words and felt that it was still feasible. First of all, Li Xuan did not want to capture Longhua Town under any circumstances, whether it was the other party offering the city or forcibly attacking the city himself.
Something that will have huge consequences.
To capture Longhua Town, the most they can do is capture a few more craftsmen and burn the Ming army's food and grass. But other than these two benefits, capturing Longhua Town is of no use to the Tang Dynasty. Is it possible that they can really occupy it?
Longhua Town?
Don't think too much, even if the higher-level Ming court officials were not alarmed, the Tang Dynasty could not stop the Ming army that was rushing back now!
I foolishly occupy a small town and then be surrounded by the Ming army. Isn't this looking for death?
Therefore, he still can’t take Longhua Town, even if Ming Jun gave it to him in vain!
After pondering for a moment, Li Xuan said: "Ignore them for now, let the Guards go up and fire a few rounds of gunfire!"
Now Li Xuan also had some doubts that these Ming troops were pretending to surrender, so he put aside many thoughts in his heart, ignored the situation, and fought first.
As a result, the white banner on the city wall of Longhua Town that said the general had left and offered the city for peace was still floating, but the guards from the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain continued to move forward.
Ignoring the white flag of the Ming army, they went directly to about a hundred meters away, and then raised their matchlock guns one by one. Following the order of the musketeer team officer, crisp gunshots rang out.
After several rounds of firing, Li Xuan soon saw someone on the top of the city being hit by a gun. Although he only hit one person, it seemed to cause chaos in the Ming army on the top of the city. Many people were running around, and
There are fewer and fewer people on the top of the city.
After the musketeers fired five or six rounds of volleys, there was no one left on the top of the city. The white flag also floated down from the top of the city and landed dangling on the ground outside the city wall.
Where have the Ming army gone? Are they all hiding behind the battlements?
Soon, Li Xuan discovered where these Ming troops had gone, because he saw many people suddenly pouring out of several other city gates, and then these people left the city gates and headed towards the north, that is, the west, that is, Zhengtai.
Run towards the county seat.
Did they just abandon the city and flee?
Li Xuan was not sure at first, but after waiting for a while, he saw hundreds of people running away from several other city gates one after another, and the Ming army never appeared on the top of the city, so he became a little uneasy.
Turning around, Fang Dongquan said, "Can you send a few smarter people over to see what's going on?"
These spies carefully crossed a distance of more than 100 meters, then reached the bottom of the city wall, and then used the ropes and hooks they carried with them to climb the wall. What they saw after climbing up shocked these bandits who had extraordinary experience.
shocked!
The huge Longhua Town seemed to have become a dead place, not a single person could be seen, and the whole scene was indescribably weird!
