Chapter 151 The Conspiracy of Old Thief Hong

Xiao Ni said: "The brothers in Baitouying are our robes. Although we are leaving this time, we are brothers after all. If you can do it, try not to do it!"

The southeast two gates are guarded by Xiao Ni's men and horses, while the northwest two gates are guarded by Jin Tang's men and horses.

Therefore, Xiao Ni and others withdrew from the south gate without being blocked by the Jintang Department, and they left Xinchang City smoothly.

Xiao Ni said: "Mr. Lin Qian, didn't you say that Liu Baihu was going to assassinate us? Why didn't we encounter any obstacles all the way out of the city? If they want to attack us, they must leave some people to watch us, right?"

This question made Lin Xiaopeng very embarrassed. These were the words he made up.However, he was also a little puzzled. It stands to reason that they made a lot of noise when they robbed the prison. Why didn't the other Ming troops in the city react at all?

Facing Xiao Ni's questioning, he said: "It must be Yu Zongbing and the others who cared about the brotherhood, so they let the net out and let us live."

Lin Xiaopeng's statement is reasonable and has been recognized by everyone.After all, everyone is a rebel army on Tiantai Mountain, Yu Guowang always has to care about some brotherhood, it is impossible to really kill them all.

Xiao Ni said: "Are you all willing to follow me, Xiao Ni?"

Everyone was originally Xiao Ni's confidant, and this time it was also to save Xiao Ni. Although many people still had doubts about defecting, no one dared to stand up and sing the opposite in this environment.

Lin Xiaopeng even took the lead and knelt down and said: "I am willing to go through fire and water with Xiao Ni as the leader, and I will do whatever I want!"

Xiao Ni quickly helped Lin Xiaopeng up, and put a dagger directly on his neck.Lin Xiaopeng turned pale with shock, and whispered, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Ni sneered and said, "Mr. Lin Qian, hurry up and tell your people to put down their weapons!"

Then he said loudly: "Chief General Lin Xiaopeng and his father-in-law Luo Yuanwai are spies of the Qing army, and they secretly gave the imitation Lumi gun to the Qing army."

"I also concocted false news that the governor's government wanted to liquidate us, and coerced everyone to flee. The purpose was to dedicate Xinchang to the Qing army. I ordered Yu Guowang, the commander-in-chief of the Baitou Battalion, to kill this thief. Everyone follow me to the east gate Destroy the Qing army!"

After all, Xiao Ni exerted force on his wrist, and the dagger directly sliced ​​through Lin Xiaopeng's artery, and blood spurted out immediately.

Seeing this situation, Lin Xiaopeng's subordinates immediately drew a clear line, and quickly stated that they did not know about Lin Xiaopeng's vote, and were willing to follow Xiao Ni to the east gate.

Outside the east gate, Luo Yuanwai was smiling and leading Wenzhou Deputy Commander Xu Qingyun and 3000 Qing troops to Xinchang.

He pointed to the city gate not far away and said: "Now Xiao Ni has withdrawn from Xinchang City with more than a thousand people under him, and there are only 1500 Ming troops in the city. I will send a signal to the city and tell them to open it." City gate!"

Luo Yuanwai held up the torch and shook it under the city for a few times, and soon the east gate of Xinchang slowly opened.

Then he said loudly: "Mr. Xu, the gate of Xinchang City has been opened, hurry up and occupy the city."

At this time, Mr. Xu seemed a little hesitant. The so-called abnormality must have a demon, and this matter seems to have gone too smoothly.

Luo Yuanwai saw Xu Qingyun standing still, and said anxiously: "At this time, the Ming army is chasing Xiao Ni and others at the south gate, and now Xinchang is almost an empty city; when they come to their senses, this Xinchang city will be beaten hard. "This time it is a joint operation, and his capture of Xinchang is only the first step; even if there is no internal response, he still wants to take Xinchang City by force.However, he was more thoughtful and said, "Vice General Huang, you lead 1000 people to occupy the city gate; Yuanwai Luo will trouble you to lead the way."

Naturally, Luo Yuanwai would not let go of this good opportunity to perform, so he rushed to Xinchang City with the Qing army.

The army quickly entered the city, and when they were about to pass through the Wengcheng and came to the city gate, the city gate was suddenly closed.

Countless torches were set up on the city, and Yu Guowang stood on the city and said loudly: "Luo Yuanwai has worked hard!"

Deputy General Huang saw the ambush, and immediately sent Luo Yuanwai a white knife in and a red knife out.He shouted: "There is an ambush in the middle, retreat quickly."

At this time, the dense archers on the city were desperately shooting arrows down the city, and sharp arrow clusters shot at the charging Qing army like a storm.

The Qing army below the city waved their weapons desperately, trying to block the arrow rain of the Ming army.

Especially the Qing army who was close to the gate of the Wengcheng City frantically ran out of the city, but at this time the suspension bridge on the moat had been slowly pulled up, and countless rolling logs fell from the city, blocking the corpses of the Qing army together. In front of the city gate.

More and more Qing troops were shot by the rain of arrows on the city, and the screams were endless, and the whole Wengcheng was filled with this bloody smell!
Xu Qingyun outside the city knew that he was ambushed by the Ming army when he saw the suspension bridge being pulled up.Fortunately, he kept an eye out, and the 2000 people had not yet entered Xinchang at this time.

The Ming army actually had an ambush, and Xinchang must not be able to take it down. Xu Qingyun hurriedly shouted: "We have been ambushed by the Ming army, and the rear team has turned into the front team, and quickly retreated to the Fenghua camp."

Suddenly, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" sounded from the opposite mountain, and a large number of Qing troops were shot and killed by firecrackers.

Xiao Ni led a large number of Ming troops to rush down from the mountain.

Although the Qing army had the upper hand, when they were attacked by firecrackers and saw the Ming army rushing towards them shouting slogans all over the mountains and plains, they lost their morale all of a sudden.

Xu Qingyun had no choice but to lead his people to retreat from the other side.

At this time, there is no hesitation, and we can only abandon some of the soldiers who fought with the Ming army; once the whole army is entangled by the Ming army, there is no way to escape!
Under the leadership of Xu Qingyun, the Qing army desperately retreated in the direction of Fenghua. As the sound of fighting behind them gradually faded away, they were glad that they finally escaped and ascended to heaven.

However, their rejoicing for the rest of their lives did not last long, and soon a rain of arrows struck, and many Qing soldiers fell to the ground with their hands on their throats.

Bashan gave an order, and 1000 cavalry rushed towards the Qing army like a whirlwind.

Before the Qing army could react, the Mongolian cavalry who were good at archery quickly shot a second round of arrows, and then the cavalry from the Baipao Battalion rushed directly into the Qing army formation.

Due to the recent continuous fighting, the cavalry combat capability of the White Robe Battalion has been greatly improved, and the cooperation with the Mongolian Qingqi has become more and more proficient.At this time, the chaotic Qing army was like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and the places where the Ming army cavalry passed were even more messy.

Xu Qingyun was also dumbfounded. When did the cavalry of the Ming army become so powerful? Not only are their archery skills amazing, but they also have such strong surprise attacks?
If it was said that he still had the desire to run away from the Ming army's infantry attack before, but now he couldn't even see the slightest hope, he couldn't run, he couldn't fight.

Soon Xu Qingyun ordered the Qing army to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Ming army.

In this battle, 1800 Qing troops were annihilated and 1200 were captured. It can be described as a complete victory.

The large casualties of the Qing army were mainly due to the annihilation of the 1000 people who entered the Wengcheng, otherwise there would never be more than half of the casualties.

The change in Xinchang was indeed sudden, and it was thanks to Qian Mo who led the cavalry to Xinchang immediately.At this time, Tang Li's Jinshan camp and Wang Yi's Kuaiji camp were still on the way.

He was very satisfied with the performance of Yu Guowang, Xiao Ni and others.Even if Qian Mo didn't lead the army to come, Baitouying could defeat the Qing army's plot this time.

At this time, Xiao Ni said: "The last general imitated the Lumi blunderbuss in private, which led to the Lumi blunderbuss falling into the hands of the Qing army; he was not strict in controlling his subordinates, so that Lin Xiaopeng, a thousand households under his command, took the opportunity to instigate a mutiny among his subordinates, which almost caused a catastrophe. I also ask Uncle Zhongyong to punish him."

To be honest, Qian Mo also felt inconceivable when he heard that Xiao Ni imitated the Lumi blunderbuss and privately cast the blunderbuss.Lumi guns have been around for many years, and many craftsmen have mastered the technique of making Lumi guns.

However, the improved Lumi blunderbuss of the governor's office requires great improvements in craftsmanship and materials, especially the fine steel of the casting blunderbuss tube, granulated black powder and fixed shells, which greatly enhance the power of the Lumi blunderbuss. Range and shooting stability and durability.

He didn't expect that Xiao Ni had conquered several other technologies except for the fine steel for making the gun barrel.The Lumi blunderbuss that he produced in the cottage can easily penetrate armor at a distance of 70 steps.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaopeng and others did not succeed, otherwise the technology of the Ming army's Lumi gun would have completely fallen into the hands of the Qing army; but now that the Qing army has a lot of samples, it is only a matter of time before they can be imitated.

It seems that the upgrade of the fire gun is imminent.

Qian Mo said: "It's a big taboo in the military to make firearms privately, especially this time Dingxi Marquis Zhang Mingzhen was injured by the Qing army's Lumi blunderbuss, the consequences are even more disastrous."

"However, since you made a timely remedy and successfully thwarted the Qing army's plot, it is considered a crime and meritorious deed. This governor will send you off lightly."

"It's rare that you are so devoted to firearms. The governor will transfer you to the Ordnance Department to participate in the research and development of a new generation of firearms. Are you willing?"

Xiao Ni knew that he had gotten into a catastrophe this time. He was originally a "firearm maniac", and this arrangement just played to his strengths.So he said: "Xiao Ni thanked Uncle Zhongyong for not killing, I am willing to go to the Ordnance Department."

Although Xiao Ni was dismissed from the military, Yu Guowang, Jin Tang and others are also happy for him seeing that his brother can now do what he likes.

Qian Mo said: "Bring Xu Qingyun here, the Qing army will definitely not only target Shaoxing this time, Xinchang, there must be a bigger conspiracy."

Soon Xu Qingyun was brought up, although he had heard that Qian Mo, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces of the Ming army, was only in his early 20s, he was still very surprised when he saw Qian Mo with his own eyes.

The young man with a handsome face in front of him turned out to be the god of murder who made the Qing army frightened.

Xu Qingyun said: "Xu Qingyun, deputy general of Wenzhou, the last general, pays homage to Uncle Zhongyong."

Qian Mo said: "Mr. Xu, I'll get straight to the point. According to the old thief Hong's deployment, after you lead your troops to occupy Xinchang, what will you do next?"

Hearing Qian Mo's words, Xu Qingyun was shocked.Because the matter of Hong Chengchou's recovery was strictly kept secret within the Qing army, all documents related to troop transfer and appointment and dismissal used the seal of Chen Jin, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.He himself is a distant relative of Mrs. Chen Jin, so he accidentally found out the identity of Hong Chengchou.

Seeing that Xu Qingshan didn't respond, Liu Yichen said, "I know your next move even if you don't tell me, are you going to cooperate with Jinhua's Ma Degong to raid Sheng County?"

"You don't need to be surprised. Ma Degong has been standing still in Jinhua all this time. He suddenly gathered troops in the direction of Yiwu and Dongyang. Besides sneak attacking Shaoxing, can he do anything else?"

Seeing this, Xu Qingshan could only tell the whole plan: "Ever since Jin Shenghuan raised troops in Jiangxi, Ma Degong had an ambiguous attitude and refused to listen to his orders. Before Governor Xiao ordered him to support Hangzhou, he also used the reason that Jinhua was attacked by the Ming army. Refuse to send troops."

"Whether it is Zhejiang governor Xiao Qiyuan or Fujian and Zhejiang governor Chen Jin can't move him at all. This time Hong Chengchou personally ordered that he agreed to send troops to attack Shaoxing; but he still put forward additional conditions. We must wait for us to occupy Xinchang first. He sent troops to occupy Sheng and Zhuji counties in the south of Shaoxing."

Ma Degong's attitude was ambiguous, and Qian Mo had already experienced it. Although this guy actively contacted the Ming army envoys to discuss matters anyway, he had no real action, but kept a tacit understanding with the Ming army and did not attack each other.

Qian Mo said: "This horse is really good at getting merit. He doesn't listen to orders. Chen Jin cut off his supplies. Are you afraid that he won't obey obediently?"

Xu Qingshan said: "The last general heard that Ma Degong was extorting money in Jinhua. He didn't pay the imperial court's salary at all. If he is pushed into a hurry, he will come to the Ming Dynasty anyway, and the situation in Zhejiang will definitely deteriorate."

Qian Mo thought so too, this Ma Degong really took advantage of the weakness of both the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Although both parties were unhappy with Ma Degong's ambiguous attitude, no one wanted him to stand directly on the opposite side of them.
Liu Yichen said: "This old thief Hong is really insidious, he actually persuaded Ma Degong to send troops; if the old thief's plan succeeds, Ma Degong will send his troops to the north, even if they can't take Shaoxing Mansion, Shaoxing's soldiers and horses will not be able to return to Hangzhou. It's just The old thief has calculated thousands of times, but he never thought that we have left Songjiang and come to the east of Zhejiang."

Qian Mo said: "What is the current strength of the Qing army in eastern Zhejiang? Do you know Hong Chengchou's whereabouts?"

Xu Qingshan said: "Although the Qing army repelled Zhang Mingzhen under Linhai City before, it also paid more than 2000 casualties. Yang Wenqi led an army of 1 to besiege Fenghua, and finally took away 3000 people this time. Now there are only 7000 people left. [-] men and horses have been dispatched."

"The other counties in Taizhou are empty of troops. Only Fucheng Linhai has [-] garrisons. Hong Chengchou's whereabouts are erratic, and he never shows up at public events. Many orders were issued by the Daoist leader, but I can be sure that he It should have appeared in Linhai City."

Hearing about Hong Chengchou's whereabouts, Qian Mo quickly looked at Liu Yichen.

Liu Yichen immediately said: "Uncle Zhongyong, don't worry, the intelligence department will definitely find out the whereabouts of old thief Hong immediately."

Qian Mo said: "This Ma Degong has been at both ends, and I want to sell it for a price; although I have no intention of going south to Jinhua Mansion for the time being, it is really troublesome to have this guy."

"He ordered the army to march towards Sheng County, and the governor wants to have a meeting with him."
