Ming Zuo

Chapter 402 The situation changes suddenly
The news of the victory on the front line came, and Dengzhou completely became an undefended city.

Although there are still Huanglong, Shang Kexi and other Ming generals on the Liaodong Islands, but their strength is limited, and they are not enough to protect themselves in the face of the general trend of the rebels.

The rebels never imagined that a lurking evil tiger would be launched at this time.

The special forces responsible for capturing the water city were led by Zhao Sanyang himself.

After sneaking in from the sluice, they immediately cleared the defenders with precision.

Like the liveliness in the city, the defenders here are also eating and drinking.Especially at each post, a few soldiers gathered together, put out roast chicken and roast goose, and added a jar of spirits.

Although it can't be compared with the generals' delicacies of mountains and seas, they can also enjoy themselves.

The sentries were so drunk that they completely forgot their duties.

So much so that the enemy touched his side, and they were still having fun.

The special forces took out the parts from the sealed pockets and installed them on the spot as a crossbow.After division of labor, each person is responsible for a sentinel.

Several crossbow arrows were fired almost at the same time, all of which hit the throat, so that these sentries went to see Hades without even making any extra moves.

With a single stick of incense, all the sentries of the entire Water City were removed.

The special forces opened the city gate and responded to the second regiment outside.

As for the map of the city, the commanders of the various divisions are already familiar with it.

Zhao Sanyang led the special forces to attack the Chinese army tent, Ji Conghua led the first battalion to attack the barracks, Qiao Shuangcheng led the second battalion to control the warships, and Chief of Staff Qiu Zhongshang led the third battalion to take down the surrounding city walls.

In charge of the navy is the rebel general Su Gonggong.

This man was greedy for life and feared death, and was indulged in enjoyment. When other generals fought fiercely, he huddled in the water city to eat, drink, and have fun.

Today, the whole city celebrated. He also held a banquet in the tent of the Chinese army camp, and forced the captured women to dance naked.

The rebel generals were very drunk, and some of them were slutty, and they directly caught women and prostituted them in public.

When the special forces rushed in, they saw this absurd scene.

Zhao Sanyang frowned and said angrily, "It's all resolved."

At this time, some people also noticed the uninvited guests who rushed in, and before they asked, they were shot to death by bows and crossbows.Immediately, the soldiers of the special forces rushed up with short blades.

The smell of blood surged, and the surviving rebels immediately understood what had happened.It's a pity that they drank too much alcohol, and they were paralyzed and unable to walk.What they encountered was the special forces who killed people as an art, and they were all killed and wounded in the blink of an eye.

Su Yougong was even more extreme, he didn't even have the thought of resisting, he got up and wanted to run away.

As a result, as soon as the person jumped up, he felt a flash of knife light, and then the cold wind rushed through his throat, and his eyes fell into darkness.

The special forces solve it quickly, and the other forces are not slow.

When the first battalion rushed into the barracks, the battle finally started.

For a while, the gunshots rang out, shouting to kill the sky, and the rebels who had just picked up the guns were fired by the muskets of the new army, and the resistance all collapsed.

The second regiment was not afraid to alarm the enemy, because the battle in the city had also begun.

The first regiment was also divided into three parts under the leadership of Wei Yuanfeng and Guo Zuxin.

The first battalion captured the Dongcheng Gate, the second battalion attacked the military camp, and the third battalion attacked the Governor's Yamen.

When the first battalion rushed to the vicinity of the city gate, it attracted the attention of the defenders.

"who?"

Wei Yuanfeng's guard raised the gun and pulled the trigger directly.The sentry screamed "Ah" and fell from the city wall.

Seeing this, Wei Yuanfeng quickly ordered.

"The first company, seize the city gate. The rest, follow me to the city wall."

The excitement here at the East Gate was gone, and the defenders panicked and wanted to gather.

The first company rushed to the vicinity of the city gate. Without further ado, a platoon of guns killed the enemy who was about to charge, and then the grenade was thrown into the city gate hole.

There were not many rebels guarding here, and they were quickly eliminated by the first company.

They put away the Qianjin Gate and pushed open the city gate.

A soldier ran outside the city gate and shook a torch against the darkness in the distance.The three circles on the left and the three circles on the right are especially obvious in the dark night.

The main force of the [-]st Division, who had already lurked nearby, acted immediately and ran towards the city gate.

The engineering troops at the forefront pushed the wooden carts into the moat one after another, and they were quickly connected together, making the moat a smooth road.

The first division rushed into the city and began to raid all the established targets.

There is no suspense in the battle on the city wall.

Although the new army was a feint attack, firstly, the defenders were not well prepared, and secondly, the difference in firepower was too great.

Guo Zuxin led the people to run up and ordered the grenade to be thrown onto the city wall first.

In the sound of continuous explosions, the little force that the rebels had just gathered was blown away.The rest of the people were frightened and ran one after another, not caring about defending the city at all.

Guo Zuxin went up to the city wall, and immediately let the soldiers advance along the city wall, trying to drive down the defenders.

The explosion at the city gate woke up Li Jiucheng and others who were having fun.

"Who is making trouble?"

At first, Li Jiucheng didn't think it was an enemy attack. He thought it was someone who was drunk and messed up and lit the gunpowder.

When he went to the yard to check, the people under his hands rolled in and rolled in, covered in blood.

"Let's go, commander, the official army has entered the city!"

Li Jiucheng was frightened and a little puzzled.

"But the Huanglong fight came?"

The person who reported the letter did not know what was injured, and at the same time did not understand the situation.

"I don't know where the official army came from, the brothers can't resist it at all."

Li Jiucheng thought it was Huanglong who came to attack at night, so he was not afraid, and roared: "Come here, order the troops and horses, and follow me to destroy Huanglong's fellow."

After a while, Li Jiucheng gathered a team of [-] people and rushed out of the governor's yamen.

As soon as I came to the street, I saw a big wave of defeated soldiers pouring in.

Li Jiucheng waved his hand and lined up his guns, killing a lot of people. When he saw that it was him, he was immediately shocked.

"What are you panicking about? Follow me to kill the enemy!"

Li Jiucheng was very satisfied with his subordinate ability, but the next moment, he was scared to death himself.

But seeing the sound of fire guns swept in like fried beans in the distance, the rebels were beaten down like wind and rice wherever they passed.

Li Jiucheng swore that he had never seen such an intense and intense firefighting style in his life.

Suddenly, there were explosions all over the street.

Many houses were blown up, many rebels were killed, and a cloud of black and red air lit up the night sky and quickly disintegrated the rebels.

Li Jiucheng was also frightened, but he couldn't escape.

Since the rebellion, he has been elected as the commander-in-chief of the rebels.But it was Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others who had been fighting in the front, and he was sitting in the rear of Dengzhou.

Now that the enemy is in front of him, if he just runs away like this, how can he be the commander in the future?
Thinking that the people beside him were also fire gun soldiers, Li Jiucheng felt that he could compete.

He hurriedly asked the soldiers to line up in the street, lined up in two rows, and after charging, they stared straight ahead.

It was one division and three regiments that rushed in.

The head of the regiment, Yu Lichun, ran at the front and was the first to see the rebel formation.

He blew the whistle quickly.

The soldiers who were still running quickly slowed down and completed the formation at an extremely fast speed.

The opposite Li Jiucheng saw this scene, and his heart was half cold.

He is an old soldier, and he has never seen an army with such a fast formation in his life.

Fortunately, when the party is in formation for a long time, it is considered to be waiting for work, and the odds of winning are greater.

With a heart, Li Jiucheng commanded loudly: "Don't panic, even Guan Ningjun is not our opponent, so who are you afraid of? When the enemy has reached thirty paces, you can only let go after listening to my orders."

Then, his eyes were fixed on the enemy, estimating the distance between the two sides.

What he thought was that after the enemy approached, the two sides would line up to shoot and fight with the enemy.

But the enemy was still a hundred paces away from them, and they all raised their fire guns.

Seeing this scene, Li Jiucheng's head was full of question marks.

So far, what's the use?

At the same time, he still has a doubt.

Why can't there be sparks on the enemy's guns?
The new army did not give him a chance to understand. Following Yu Lichun's order, the new army opened fire from a hundred meters away.

Hundreds of musket-like volleys were fired, and the soldiers beside Li Jiucheng suddenly lost a layer.

Li Jiucheng shivered, only feeling a wet patch in his crotch.He heard another burst of gunshots in his ears, and his soldiers lost a layer again.

This time all the rebels collapsed.

The fire cannons in their hands can only hit thirty paces, while the fire cannons on the opposite side are so powerful a hundred paces away. This is a one-sided slaughter.

Those who were still alive didn't think about anything, and no matter what sin it was for escaping, they all ran backwards.

Li Jiucheng?
He ran faster than anyone.

He didn't dare to return to the governor's yamen, he escaped from Dengzhou City all the way from the west gate, and ran wildly in the direction of Laizhou in the dark night.

Although the new army's weapons are more advanced, the soldiers run at the same speed as the rebels.So Li Jiucheng wanted to run, but they had no choice.

And the rebels still in Dengzhou City have all become the new army's meal.

At dawn, the battle in Dengzhou City was completely over.

The new army killed and captured more than [-] people, and only a few hundred of the rebels escaped.The most rare thing is that all the warships of the Dengzhou Navy were not damaged or escaped, and all fell into the hands of the new army.

The rebels never imagined that they were victorious in the front, but they were followed by others, and even the most important Dengzhou was lost.
