False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 67 A War Without Suspense

When the people of the White Lotus Sect discovered the traces of Ye Hong and Niu Dazhuang's soldiers from the two banners, black dots rushed towards them one after another.

"Be careful with hidden weapons!"

The things that looked like iron balls made the heroes of the White Lotus Sect think they were hidden weapons.They were avoiding hidden weapons everywhere, but with so many people crowded together, it was completely chaotic.From time to time, someone bumped into each other.There is a lot of chaos everywhere.They didn't notice at all that the black iron knob was still smoking.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Luo Qing wanted to quiet down the chaotic team.

But how could such a mob be so easy to control?

"Rush up! Kill them!" Luo Qing raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly, pointing at the hiding place of Ye Hong and others.

But at this time, the mutation finally happened.

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

There was a sudden explosion.The roar of explosions was everywhere.

Luo Qing hadn't figured out what was going on, and was already fainted by the air wave of the explosion.

"What's going on! Where did the shells come from!"

Luo Qing didn't think it was a sky thunder, after all, artillery shells have been used in wars in this era.The officers and soldiers have bombs, but they have never heard of bombs that can explode!

Luo Qing fainted with doubts.

"It's not good! The leader has fainted!" Someone shouted in panic.

"Protect the leader!"

"Protect the leader!"

Lord Luo still has a group of subordinates who are loyal to protect the Lord.Some of these people escaped the bombing by luck, and after the explosion, they looked for their masters as soon as they woke up.After discovering that the leader had fainted, he immediately protected Luo Qing and fled quickly.

The wise and mighty leader has fallen, how can these believers have the courage to fight again?You know, these people can hang out with Master Luo, and the most important thing is to be able to hang out with a meal.It's not that I really believe in the lifeless old mother who has never appeared.At this time, if they have to work hard, that is to go to his mother.

The peasant wars in the Ming Dynasty were very interesting. Every battle was like driving sheep.Those who participate in the war are regarded as two flocks of sheep being driven out.In the end, the rebellious sheep won, but they were picked up by a group of wolves who broke in.

The peasant army gathered by the White Lotus Sect is actually a flock of sheep.It looks very imposing, but in fact it doesn't have much fighting power.They were able to defeat the official army not because of their strength, but because of the weakness of the official army.The Ming army has been corrupted to the point where it is even worse than peasants.

Ye Hong and Niu Dazhuang's eyes widened. They couldn't believe such a ridiculous result.Their two banners nearly defeated the Wanhong Lotus Sect army.

So far, there are only a few injured people who accidentally sprained their feet while climbing the mountain.Well, there are also those that have been cut by thatch.

"What are you doing in a daze! Hit! Greet those leaders." Niu Dazhuang shouted loudly.

Ye Hong saw a large group of people escorting a big man running away, and immediately waved his hand: "Follow me! There must be big fish in that group, greet them!"

"Brother Zhuang, what shall we do?" Zhai Suozi asked.This Zhai Suozi also had brute force, but he was a little stunned.This is quite in line with the characteristics of Niu Dazhuang's banner.They all have the same temperament as Niu Dazhuang, they are tall and big, but their minds are not very bright.

"What should we do? Follow the past, their sticks are useless. It's like shitting a sheep. You can't finish killing them if they stand still. Let's bombard them with ten thousand enemies!" Niu Dazhuang It looks big and three thick, but in fact it is not stupid.Ordinary people are easily deceived by his figure.

Poor Ye Hong managed to load the ammunition and prepare to shoot. This Niu Dazhuang had already thrown ten thousand enemies over.

boom!
A loud noise blasted the group of people to pieces, where can we find the shadow of the target?
"Niu Dazhuang, aren't you making trouble?" Ye Hong was very annoyed.

"The fire sticks are useless. Don't blame me. There are so many thieves, and when you pack the ammunition and clear them one by one, they will all run away." Niu Dazhuang said.

Ye Hong had no choice but to fight at close range, how could his lethality compare with these guys who were enemies of ten thousand people?

The rebellious army of the White Lotus Sect was also scared away by the tens of thousands of enemies, and they didn't pay attention to the fact that there were only a few dozen people above.If they rush up desperately, they can drown these individuals with their saliva.But they have been blown out of their minds and scared out of their wits.I didn't dare to look back at all, and ran desperately.There were thousands of people trampled to death and injured along the way.After all, the mountain road is narrow, and many places are extremely steep.Running in such a panic, there are countless people who broke their legs, fell off the cliff, and were trampled to death and injured.

Cao Qing and his men were preparing to outflank it, but unexpectedly, the mountain seemed to be exploding.All of a sudden, he rushed out from the mountain crying and howling.

"No way?" Cao Qing couldn't believe that the plot would develop to such a weird point.

"Prepare for battle!" Cao Qing immediately issued combat instructions.

However, he quickly ordered his soldiers to shout in unison to the remnants who had fled.

"Put down your weapons, surrender without killing!"

The number of those defeated soldiers was still thousands of people, if they were to rush over regardless of life and death, even if they were executed by firing squad, they would have to be killed for a long time.Although Cao Qing has two thousand gunmen here.But being able to kill one with four or five shots is a remarkable record.

When the time comes, there will be close hand-to-hand combat.Surely there will be casualties.Among the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, there are still some green forest heroes, if it is really a close combat.The group of recruits brought by Cao Qing who have only trained for a few months may not be able to withstand it.

But 2000 people roared loudly, but they could calm down the group of fleeing people.Let them not jump over the wall in a hurry and make a death struggle.Dying throes are very scary.They were originally afraid of death, but if they had no way out, the burst of energy would be terrifying.

"Put down your weapon, kneel down and beg for mercy, you can avoid death!"

The guard battalion shouted in unison.

Luo Qing, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, has come to his senses, but in a panic, he has no way to organize this group of mad sheep who have been blown to pieces by the enemy.

Hearing that surrender would save them from death, someone immediately threw away the knife and stick in their hands and knelt down on the ground.

If someone takes the lead, it will be great.The herd mentality is very scary.Especially when it comes to being completely blind like this.So one after another they knelt on the ground.

Seeing that something was wrong, Luo Qing and his relatives immediately hid in the woods and escaped secretly.Cao Qing couldn't care less about these things at this time.The most important thing right now is to control these captives, and then ensure the safety of the Queen's convoy.

"Untie their belts and tie their hands up," Cao Qing shouted.

As soon as the belts of these people were undone, the trousers, which were already a little unhangable, immediately fell down.A lot of people just have such a pair of trousers, without even a pair of pants inside. Once the trousers are taken off, the ugly thing dangles in the crotch immediately.

Cao Qing can't control so many, the number of prisoners is more than his soldiers, if they are not controlled, if these prisoners suddenly riot, it will be a big trouble.But he couldn't bear to slaughter all the bitterness.These people are some poor people, and they are not evil people.It's all because the days are really hard to pass, so I took this road.It happened that there was a shortage of manpower at the steel plant, and Huangzhuang would also need a lot of manpower in the future.Now that Cao Qing has some spare money, it is not a big problem to support these people.

Zhang Yan heard the explosion in front of him in the carriage, so he naturally knew that something big happened ahead, and he was very nervous.

"Sister-in-law, what happened ahead? Is there a robber blocking the way?" Zhu Huiti asked nervously.

"Don't panic, Eunuch Cao's guard battalion is here, even if the robbers come, they will die." Zhang Yan was very calm.

Xiao Cui was very nervous outside: "Madam, Eunuch Cao has taken a lot of people away for a long time, but he still hasn't returned. I'm afraid there will be a fight ahead."

"Be quiet, everyone. Since there is the sound of firearms in front, it means that Eunuch Cao is in control of the situation. The gangsters don't have firearms." Zhang Yan said.

After a long time, Cao Qing rushed over with soldiers and horses.

"Your Majesty, the road ahead has been cleared, and we can move forward. It's getting late, and we need to hurry up." Cao Qing said.

"Are there any casualties just now?" Zhang Yan asked.

"None," said Watson.

"No?" Zhang Yan naturally didn't believe Watson's words.She thought it was Cao Qing who concealed the casualties and was worried about bad luck, "But it's okay to say. The soldiers gave up their lives for me. I can only be grateful to them."

"Your Majesty, there are really no casualties. None of them were damaged. Someone sprained their feet." Cao Qing laughed.

"Really? How many people are there?" Zhang Yan asked.

"They are all remnants of the White Lotus Sect, with thousands of people." Cao Qing said.

"Then how do you say there is no damage?" Zhang Yan questioned, with a hint of displeasure already in her tone.

"The opponent has already fled before the battle. So there is no loss for our side." Cao Qing said.

"How did you do it?" Zhang Yan asked.

Cao Qing gave a rough overview of his combat deployment.

"So that's it. Is the enemy of ten thousand people really so powerful?" Zhang Yan asked.

"It's really powerful. After one round of assault, this mob has already collapsed. It's a pity that the thief leader escaped." Cao Qing said.

"It's already a huge miracle to win the many with the few, and the strong with the weak, without any loss." Zhang Yan said.

"Empress, it is true that the few win the many, but it is wrong to use the weak to win the strong. The White Lotus Sect's participation is just a group of rabble, and it is not a big deal to defeat them. In the future, I will see more of my guard battalion. Seeing blood, even [-] Tartars, we can annihilate them." Cao Qing said.

"Bold! Dare to say that Empress Yi'an is wrong! Slap!" Zhu Huiti shouted.But here are all Cao Qing's people, who dares to go up and slap Cao Qing's mouth?

"Hui Ti, don't be reckless. I was indeed wrong just now. The guard battalion is ten times stronger than that rebel army. So Eunuch Cao is satisfied?" Zhang Yan smiled sweetly when she said this.It's a pity that there is a curtain in front of it, so Cao Qing didn't see such a scene.
