Chapter 526 Catch Liu Erhu

There was chaos in the north of Kaifeng, with thousands of bandits and hungry people rushing forward.

Teams of elite cavalry wearing red cloaks galloped back and forth, shuttling among bandits and hungry people, dividing them into small groups and driving them together until they could no longer run away, and one by one sat down on the ground, powerless. until the resistance.

Sang Kaidi, Guanhe Tongzhi of Henan Province, stood on the west wall of the north gate tower, feeling extremely excited, watching the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers galloping in a criss-cross pattern in the wilderness in the north of the city, chasing the fleeing bandits like dogs chasing rabbits .

He pressed his hands on the walls of Kaifeng North City, and murmured tremblingly, "Here we are... here we are... finally here..."

Cao Kun, the entrusted official of the Zhou Palace, just passed by here. He stopped and said to the excited Sang Kaidi: "Master Sang, prepare to open the door to welcome the reinforcements into the city. I will go to announce the good news to His Royal Highness, also known as Qiantose Ye Huanxiu!"

"Yes, yes, it is time to report to King Zhou Qiantui. I will ask someone to clear the sandbags in the door opening, and the door can be opened at any time to welcome reinforcements into the city."

Sang Kaidi watched Cao Kun go down the city wall, and he ordered loudly: "Come on, quickly clear out the door opening, and prepare to welcome the reinforcements to enter the city."

Looking at the scene outside the city, the soldiers and civilians guarding the city had already burst into cheers. Some of them even wished they could rush out of the city at this moment and chase those bandits with the officers and soldiers who came to help them, so as to vent their anger in the past two days.

But thinking about it, no one really brought up this topic. Although the officers and soldiers in the north of the city had the upper hand, there were still many rebels in the east and south of the city, especially in the west of the city where more than ten thousand rebels gathered.

Who dares to say that in the battle situation in the north of the city, the officers and soldiers will always maintain an advantage. Now, everyone has one idea, that is, after the bandits are dispersed, the officers and soldiers outside the city will quickly enter the city to assist the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend the city until the bandits Get out of trouble.

…………

Liu Tichun was surrounded by less than 300 bandit soldiers. They besieged the city in a circular formation to protect Liu Tichun in the middle, surrounded by more than [-] officers and soldiers tightly surrounding them.

The more than [-] new-style Yunzhou guns are no longer launching salvos. Under the cover of the shield soldiers in the front row, they calmly loaded and fired seven or eighty steps away, watching the bandits fell down one by one, rolling and crying more than.

In addition to camp exercises in Xuanzhen, they had only participated in a few bandit suppression wars of varying sizes. It was "the first time a big girl got on a sedan chair" in a bloody battle like today's.

Thanks to the harshness of the daily camp exercises, although everyone was a little flustered, they were able to keep the array neat and tidy. For example, the loading of the firecrackers was not as proficient as in the training, but after two or three shots, it was already adapted to the battlefield environment.

During the daily practice, there is no such chaos, excitement, and thrills as the real battlefield, so they may feel a little uncomfortable at the beginning.

But after rigorous training, they have long been accustomed to the military orders of the superior officer. When the military orders were clearly and accurately delivered to each sergeant, they gradually ignored the surrounding environment and only knew to strictly implement the military orders of the superior officer.

In this way, they advance, stop, and advance again and again, shoot, load, and shoot again, until they finally even fall down with their comrades-in-arms. warrior.

"Listen up, the thieves inside. My general has an order. As long as you put down your knives, guns, bows and arrows, your life will be spared. If you continue to resist, you will only die."

Several officers and soldiers with loud voices yelled in unison. This is not the first time they have yelled. After each yell, there will be a round of fire from the musketeers, and the bandits who refuse to surrender will be scattered. More than a hundred people fell.

This is the third time that the bandits have called out to persuade them to surrender, and finally some bandit soldiers couldn't stand it, just heard a "clang", and the last shield soldier outside the bandit circle threw down the shield and waist knife and shouted, "I won't fight anymore... ...I want to go home..." He ran towards Guanjun.

"what!"

He had only taken two steps when a fierce bandit soldier behind him suddenly threw a short axe, breaking through the bitter cold wind, and was slashing at the shield soldier's back, the handle of the ax was still trembling in the wind.

The shield soldier did not expect to die in the hands of his own people. He turned his head and looked at the bandit soldier who had just thrown a hatchet at him with great reluctance. His eyes were full of remorse. In front of him, but now he died under his axe.

With a "plop", the shield soldier fell to the ground without making a sound.

Liu Changliang, the head of Jin Yong's Central Division, opened his eyes angrily, and shouted at Zheng Youjin, the head of the first round: "Zheng Youjin, give me a f*ck!"

On this side, Zheng Youjin fired more than 110 firecrackers in a perfect volley amidst his orders, and amidst the rising smoke, hundreds of blunderbuss roared and fired at the group of bandits who were stubbornly resisting.

In an instant, dozens of people fell into a pool of blood, and their wailing was so tragic. The bandit soldier who threw the hatchet just now was hit by two lead bullets on the right shoulder and abdomen respectively.

The entire right arm was almost broken, and the skin was torn apart, and only the flesh and bones remained. A big hole was punched out in the abdomen, and the intestines were broken and flowed all over the place.

He opened his mouth wide but couldn't make a sound. He scratched the ground with his left hand indiscriminately, as if he wanted to squeeze back the blood flowing all over the floor, but his strength was rapidly draining, and gradually that hand was also weakly spread out on the ground. in the flow.

"Dang..."

Another bandit soldier gave up his resistance, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground. The tip of the spear collided with the hard ground and made a crisp sound.

"Dangling...dangling..."

Faced with such a tragic scene, it is nothing more than Abi Hell. Now that there is a leading brother to set an example, it is like a chain reaction. The remaining one hundred or so bandits also threw their weapons on the ground and issued There was a crisp sound.

…………

There were only twenty or thirty old thieves around Liu Tichun. Although they were still holding the weapons in their hands tightly, they all looked panic-stricken, and looked back at Liu Tichun to see how he would make a decision.

In addition to the more than [-] infantrymen of the officers and soldiers on their periphery, there are also hundreds of cavalry wandering around and patrolling, and gather together those bandit soldiers who have given up resistance.

Liu Tichun also knew that the general situation was over, and he had tried his best to resist so far, and he hadn't seen Chuang Wang's reinforcements coming, so he probably was in danger on that side, he was unwilling but powerless.

At this time, an old thief swung his knife and chopped down a bandit soldier who had put down his weapon, and shouted angrily: "You son of a bitch, shame on me, pick up your weapon, and kill..."

Before he finished speaking, a few bandit soldiers who had already put down their weapons were afraid that he would attack them again, so they rushed forward and pinned him to the ground, causing the scene to become chaotic.

The more than 100 thieves who had put down their weapons and surrendered turned around and rushed forward, instantly crushing those who hadn't surrendered to the ground. Even Liu Tichun was suppressed by three or four thieves.
