Ming Zuo

Chapter 36 Bloody Battle

Zuo Menggeng staggered and stood up, only to feel the world spinning.

His head was buzzing, his eyes were blood red, and everything was blurry.

He knew that this was the aftermath of the explosion.

With experience, he slapped his cheek a few times, and finally regained control of his body.

look around...

Forget it, can't watch it anymore.

The place where the explosion occurred was very vicious. There was a row of houses across from the intersection outside the pier, but the officers and soldiers on the other side of the intersection could not see it.

As soon as this side exploded, the shock wave swept through, and the entire house was vanished into nothingness, and it also swept away a large area of ​​the official army on the other side.

With the naked eye, countless officers and soldiers fell to the ground, apparently dead.

There were even countless officers and soldiers howling and running back, apparently frightened.

This is not what Zuo Menggeng wants to see.

In this pier, Feng Lun has the most people and is also very fierce.The more delay, the more casualties.

Especially Liu Zongzhou, Hou Xun, Qian Qianyi and others were among them. If they were killed, it would be a big problem.

In any case, the official army must not be allowed to flee, and must be organized to continue the storm.

Thinking of this, Zuo Menggeng was ready to go.When he turned around, there was another man beside him.

It was none other than Huang Er.

But at this time, he couldn't be bothered anymore.

"You find a place to hide, don't run around."

Huang Er shook his head.

"My life is saved by the young master, and I will follow you."

Zuo Menggeng was angry.

"I'm going to fight."

Huang Er was very stubborn.

"Then I'll follow, I'm not afraid of death."

Forget it, the situation is urgent, Zuo Menggeng has no time to talk to him.

Turning around, he rushed into the broken wall next to him.

Because the house was all collapsed, it was easy for him to go to the official army.

As soon as they passed through, they saw that Wuyangyang's official army was retreating.

Zuo Menggeng stood on the street, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

"Escape from battle, kill without mercy!"

A group of officers and soldiers looked at each other in dismay, and stopped one after another, not knowing which song it was singing.

Seeing that there is only Zuo Menggeng alone, many people are even eager to try it.

"Hey, isn't this Young Master Zuo?"

Among the officers, a small flag came out and looked at Zuo Menggeng carefully.

Zuo Menggeng also remembered him.

"Ah, you are the soldier guarding the gate."

The little flag relaxed and asked, "Young Master Zuo, why did you stop me from waiting?"

Zuo Menggeng asked: "The thieves are wreaking havoc in the dock. You can't wait to kill the thieves, why are you running?"

The officers and the army were in a commotion and said nothing.

"The thieves used gunpowder, and we can't get in."

"General Luo Shen was bombed to death. If we don't run at this time, we have to die here."

Zuo Menggeng listened, his eyes darkened.

"You guys are dead?"

Although Linqing is an important place, there is only one garrison in the army, and there is one general.

As a result, in the explosion just now, the ginseng was killed.

That Xiaoqi smiled bitterly: "Young Master Zuo, it's not that I don't want to fight. But the generals are dead, and there is no one to command."

Zuo Menggeng still refused to give way.

Just kidding, this is the only military force that Linqing can come up with at present.

He looked serious, even bluffing.

"Now in the wharf, the Minister of War, Shuntian Governor, Taipu Shaoqing, and Dongchang Prefect are all there. If they are killed by thieves and the imperial court is angered by thunder, will you still have a way to survive? Not only you, but also your family members. To die."

The officers are stupid, they really don't know this situation.

However, no one felt that Zuo Menggeng was lying. In the past few days, many high-ranking officials have come to Linqing, and everyone has heard the wind.

Besides, isn't it necessary to play such a big battle to deal with high officials?
These officers were afraid.

If so many high-ranking officials died here, they would really be buried with them.

The little flag was about to cry.

"Young Master Zuo, we really can't get in. The thieves put archers on the archway, and whoever rushes out will shoot them to death."

Zuo Menggeng asked: "Don't you have shields? Even if you don't have shields, you can get the door panels."

One of the bosses hummed: "The thief has a strong crossbow in his hand, and the shield and door panel can't stop it."

Most of the shields of the Ming army in the mainland were rattan shields.Defending against bows and arrows is still good, but when it touches a crossbow, it's like a piece of paper.

Zuo Menggeng was in a hurry, passed through the official army, and ran to the front to observe.

Although the officers were frightened, they did not dare to run away and followed behind his ass.

Zuo Menggeng touched the intersection and probed out from the hidden place to observe.

It was found that this place was really dangerous. If the officers and soldiers wanted to rush into the pier, they had to go here.

But the thief placed bows and arrows on the archway dozens of steps away from the opposite side, sealing the entire intersection.

what can we do about it?

When he was at a loss, Zuo Menggeng saw something.

"You have a tiger squatting cannon, why don't you shoot your mother?"

Destroy the general.

"Are you going to fight? Look at this terrain, are you going out of the tiger squatting gun mount?"

It turned out that their location had a small turn from the intersection, so they could hide here and not be shot by the thief's archers.

But if you set up a tiger squatting gun, you must get out, and it will become a target immediately.

It is obvious that you have a weapon but you can't use it. Is it really going to be trapped here?

Zuo Menggeng looked around anxiously, and when he saw the surrounding terrain, a classic scene from the battle of liberating Tianjin in "Armageddon" suddenly appeared in his mind.

This made the excitement inexplicable, and immediately shouted: "Quick, find the ladder."

Several officers did not know why.

"What?"

Zuo Menggeng pointed to the tea house across the road.

"There is no cover here at the intersection, so the cannon can't be mounted. Can't it be mounted on it? The thieves definitely won't notice.

Several officers looked at the roof of the teahouse, and then looked at the archway opposite, slapping their foreheads in chagrin.

"Oh, why didn't I think of that."

Found a way, and the courage of these officers and soldiers also came back.Soon, the ladder was found and quietly placed behind the restaurant.

The little flag took the lead, carrying a tiger squatting gun on his back to the top of the building.The rest of the soldiers followed gunpowder and projectiles and followed.

After a while, a roar sounded one after another.

When I looked at the archway on the opposite side, the smoke and dust were already rising from the sky, mixed with the screams of thieves.

The obstacle was finally removed.

Zuo Menggeng swung a machete and shouted, "Come on."

He took the lead and rushed into the pier with hundreds of officers.

He didn't recognize anyone either, so he had to catch whoever he was and start assigning tasks.

"You take people there to rescue the adults; you take people to capture the Chaoguan Yamen, and you must protect the documents and files inside; you control this intersection, so that the thieves will not run away, and no one will come in again."

The official army joined the battlefield, and the situation immediately reversed.

On the contrary, Zuo Menggeng was idle, looked around, and found that the thief's defeat had been accomplished.

Only the Jinyiwei official ship on the water was still fighting endlessly.

What's on it?
Is it worth Feng Lun's shocking battle?
Zuo Menggeng couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he threw himself into the water and swam quietly towards the official ship of Jinyiwei.

This time, Huang Er couldn't follow him. He didn't know how to use water, so he could only watch Zuo Menggeng dryly.

Zuo Menggeng swam to the front, hid in the water and listened quietly.It was found that there was no movement on the deck, instead, there was a loud scream in the cabin.

After thinking for a while, he felt the broken part of the official ship, found a hole, and touched it.

It's not too dark inside, and the light comes in at the break, and you can vaguely see it.

Zuo Menggeng touched the place where the killing sound was heard like a ghost.

There is a gap in front of it, and a person is blocking it.

Wearing the official robe of a hundred households in brocade clothes, he was covered in blood, and his condition was not very good.

The left arm has been broken, and the blood under his feet has congealed into a pool of water. He only holds an embroidered spring knife, his back is against the bulkhead, and he is fighting a trapped beast.

Feng Lun's beast-like shouts filled the cabin.

"Old Ancestor! Godfather! Where are you? The children are here to save you. Come out soon, let's go back to the capital, kill Chongzhen's child, change the emperor, and continue to be prestige!"

The brocade-clothed hundred households laughed wildly, and there was despair in their voice.

"Feng Lun, you have exhausted your organization. Do you think Wei Zhongxian and Li Chaoqin are on this official ship? Hahahaha, the emperor has a clever plan, guessing that there are unscrupulous officials like you, he would have sent Wei Zhongxian and Li Chaoqin away long ago. La. Hahahahaha..."

Zuo Menggeng's spirit was shaken, and only then did he understand that Feng Lun's killing formation was to rescue Wei Zhongxian and Li Chaoqin.

According to the records of Ming history, in November of the first year of Chongzhen, Wei Zhongxian and Li Chaoqin were sent to guard the mausoleum in Fengyang.

Isn't it November now?
