Chapter 8

8.18 Destroy Jinling, the real dragon enters the sea

Half a month later, inside the south gate of Jinling City, nearly 300 fine cavalry and about [-] infantrymen of the Jinling Guard completed their formation.

"They still agreed?" Looking at the almost crowded defensive scene on the top of the city, Dongfang Bai couldn't help laughing, "Is this the ability of the imperial court order? The outer disciples of Heimuya couldn't arrange it either. This way of defense!"

"I can't help it. When the Jinling Guards withdrew at the beginning, they really frightened them. No one thought that after the withdrawal of elite soldiers with less than 400 people in each city scattered around, they almost let the city walls fall. " Wei Xu shook his head helplessly.

Originally, when he was discussing with the Governor's Yamen, he actually just wanted to scare the bureaucrats, and only the Jinling guards on the east gate were withdrawn. The fundamental purpose was actually to show his strength.

Even he himself didn't expect that this display was too exaggerated. Just two hours after the Jinling Guard's elite soldiers withdrew, the supervising soldiers and temporary militia who were not restrained by the supervising team unexpectedly fell!

Fortunately, Wei Xu's plan at the time was just to scare them, and the withdrawn troops rested not far from the city wall, and he also summoned the cavalry troops in advance, preparing for a routine surprise attack, and the two sides worked together to re-stabilize the front .

This "farce" battle frightened not only the bureaucrats, but also the major families in the city, and even Wei Xu himself. He really didn't expect that the so-called "supervisor" would It's so bad!
In this way, the original "grain requisition" problem is no longer a problem, and all the families are eager to hand over money to send food, because although the rioters entered the city for less than an hour, the entire area around the east gate was almost burned to the ground!
All the original plans were overthrown. Considering that Wei Xu wanted to go out of the city to suppress the rebellion, he did not count them when calculating the number of defenders. The final result was [-] for a city wall, plus [-] for the reserve team, for a total of [-]!
That's all, but a group of amateur players don't know what "maintaining combat effectiveness" is, and they pile up [-] troops on the top of the city every day, that is, the rioters have no siege equipment except ladders, otherwise the catapult can make the city The head turned blood red!

"Brother Xu, I'm afraid the situation outside is not very good these days. It was originally said that there were [-] rioters, but now the total number of people outside the city is [-]. It seems that they are all coerced people." Lin Daiyu's expression was serious. Said.

She and Shi Xiangyun are both Wei Xu's personal guard cavalry deputy Qianhu. This time, they have to go out of the city to fight, plus Dongfang Bai, who is also going out of the city to sort out the power of the Wei family, the four of them are now together.

"Yeah, it's only been more than half a month, and the number of rioters has almost doubled. If they are allowed to continue, the war will be quelled in the future, and the entire Jiangnan will be smashed." Wei Xu said helplessly.

"Brother Xu, they were also people who were affected by the disaster. Although they were instigated by the White Lotus Sect, they really had to do so because of the disaster. We just killed them directly, right?" Shi Xiangyun said unbearably.

She has been with Wei Xu for the longest time, and she has the deepest recognition of modern ideas. Although she does not have the concept of "serving the people", her affection for the people at the bottom is far beyond that of ordinary young ladies from aristocratic families in this era.

"If they were refugees at the beginning, they had to rebel. Now that they have engulfed the people, they will never go back." Wei Xu said with a sigh.

In all the peasant uprisings in the history of China, the problem of coercing the people cannot be avoided. How can they coerce them?They robbed the people of their food, burned their houses, and made some rich households exterminate their families, forcing them to follow.

Once this mode is turned on, the chaotic army will often snowball like a snowball, and the number will increase exponentially, but the combat effectiveness is hard to say. defeat.

Also in this situation, the common people are no longer called common people, but a rebel army in the full sense, but more often, it may be more appropriate to call it a "rebellious army".

"This is also the reason why those trash finally let us out of the city." Dongfang Bai said flatly, "If the rebel army outside is allowed to coerce the people, it will take another month at most to accumulate more than 20 people.

At that time, even if all the Jinling Guards died in battle at the top of the city, I am afraid that they will not be able to continue to defend. If they do not block the root cause of their coercion of the people, quelling chaos is just nonsense. How many times did Li Zicheng be dispersed in the previous Ming Dynasty?In the end, didn't Chongzhen be sent to the crooked neck tree in Meishan? "

"So, just the day before yesterday, the Jiangnan governor's yamen and the Jiangnan admiral jointly signed the transfer order. In the battle report memorial the day before yesterday, they also reported the transfer of me out of the city." Wei Xu said lightly.

"Is this the end of the procedure?" Shi Xiangyun said with a smile, "When we have integrated the forces from all over the country and even put down the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter how uncomfortable the dog emperor is, he will give Brother Xu a higher position."

"Will you be transferred out directly?" Lin Daiyu said worriedly, "If we have established a business foundation in Jiangnan, but Brother Xu leaves, isn't it a waste of time?" "It's just a matter of arranging a few more units with empty names. That's all, when the time comes, as long as each family in the capital still has children who want to follow Zhanguang, they will help solve the problem." Wei Xu was not worried about this, it was nothing more than an exchange of interests.

"Have you figured out the situation outside? Where are the headquarters of these rebellious troops now?" Everyone knew these things, so they didn't talk about it any more. Shi Xiangyun asked the most urgent question at the moment.

"No, Saeko can't help it now, it's too chaotic outside." Wei Xu shook his head helplessly, "The only thing that can be confirmed is that the outside is actually divided into four families according to the direction, and the relationship between them is not very good."

"Brother Xu, are we capable of calming them down now?" Lin Daiyu asked hesitantly.

"It's no use, the gap in numbers is too big, if we have all cavalry, then everything is easy to say, but now we only have one-third of the cavalry, so we can only go out and gather people first.

At that time, I will bring all the cavalry to support outside the city. Yun girl, you are responsible for assisting the East, summoning the troops on the hills, and first restoring the number to the normal one guard, and then we will see the situation. " Wei Xu shook his head helplessly.

"It's really inappropriate to call too many at one time. At least we don't have the ability to fully integrate [-] troops, so we can only let them continue to hide in various places." Dongfang Bai said with a sigh.

"There is still a serious shortage of talents under his command!" Wei Xu smiled helplessly, "One guard needs five thousand households, and they are just trained, Wang Yi, Song Dayong, Huo Xiangdong, Wu Gang and Luo Zhi.

These few are the best of the first batch of disciples. They have been with me for so many years. At least they have been cultivated. But if they continue to increase, I really don’t have any candidates to continue to appoint. But Baihu and Zhenfu can make do. . "

"Then we can only disperse first, and when this chaos is settled, we can see if there are any seedlings that can be promoted." Dongfang Bai is the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect with a congregation of [-], and he knows these things very well.

"Forget it—" Wei Xu has nothing to do. Now he can only train junior officers secretly, and he can only learn and work at the first level. Too little control."

"That will happen in the future." Dongfang Bai's eyes moved, "The rioters have retreated, it sounds very chaotic, open the city gate!"

"Kalala——" Amidst the heavy rubbing sound, the south gate of Jinling slowly opened, and from the gradually expanding gap, the rioters who were still fleeing in panic could be clearly seen.

"Kill!" Wei Xu swung his golden halberd violently, and was the first to rush out of the gate!
"Kill--" Shan Hu shouted like a tsunami, and all the cavalry of Jinling Guard rolled towards the rioters who had been running around like a storm. Looking down from the city wall, the arrow at the front of the arrow-shaped formation was the guard Family of four!
This is the first time that Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu have been on the battlefield, but the two have already seen fights in the drama world. Although the scene is not so big, at least they will not have the problem of pulling their hips on the spot.

At this time, the two of them naturally couldn't use the most familiar flying swords, but each refined a golden nine-foot spear, weighing 48 kilograms, wearing heavy composite armor, coupled with a BMW nourished by jade pendant energy, Follow Wei Xu closely and rush out!

Even Dongfang Bai was wearing a standard military uniform and armor on board at this time, but she just found a long spear casually. She was not in charge of the battle formation at all, and she would leave to integrate the forces of all parties after breaking out of the siege. Shi Xiang was also walking with her. cloud.

The army roared past the rioters almost without any hindrance. These days, there will be one or two charges tomorrow. These people have already seen the terrifying power of the Jinling Guard cavalry. No one dares to stop them. The dead are all running slow.

The following infantry rushed through the passage opened by the cavalry in a strict battle formation. During the period, there were not only rioters who tried to besiege, but they were quickly killed by the cavalry who rushed back. It took only half a quarter of an hour. Left a shadow on the rioters.

"This—" Even after seeing Wei Xu leading the cavalry charge many times, Wang Bo still had an expression of disbelief at this moment, "Could it be that real elite soldiers have such fighting power?"

Zhao Hang beside him was silent, just pondering over the news from the capital.
