Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 472 Break through tonight
In fact, whether it is Nanping Pass or eliminating She Chongming, it is not difficult for Ye Xun. Even Qin Liangyu didn't take She Chongming seriously.

War has always been a last resort to achieve the goal. Ye Xun's goal is to formally integrate Shuzhong into the imperial court's management system.

And generals like the Qin family, although they are also loyal to the court, oftentimes, they will still put the interests of the family first. This is a custom handed down by the family for thousands of years. It is also not exempt from vulgarity.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, under the leadership of Qin Liangyu, [-] officers and soldiers began a tentative attack. At the same time, Qin Bangping personally led [-] skilled warriors into the dense forest, preparing to cooperate with the frontal attack from the side.

Since it was a tentative attack, it must have been thunderous and rainy, but the rebels obviously thought that the officers and soldiers might launch an attack at night, so they turned off the lights and lit a few huge bonfires before closing the wall, trying to unknowingly It's simply impossible to get close.

Just as Ye Xun and the others observed during the day, even if the officers and soldiers were not close to the closing wall, arrows would rain down when closing the closing wall, because it was condescending, and occasionally a few round stones would be dropped on the closing wall, and the lethality of these stones But it is bigger than a bow and arrow, because the stones will roll along the slope, and under the action of inertia, the force will become bigger and bigger. Officers and soldiers will either die or be injured. It can be said to be a very headache and annoying thing. .

After tossing around in the middle of the night, Qin Liangyu ordered the troops to withdraw. Fortunately, because they did not urge the soldiers to rush forward, the damage was not serious, and only a dozen people were killed or injured.

Standing in the dark and watching the battle, Ye Xun also had a better understanding of the rebels' defense. If Qin Bangping made no progress, he was going to let his guards go up.

The range of the guards' muskets is far beyond that of bows and arrows. As long as the bows and arrows at the top of the city are suppressed, the officers and soldiers behind the guards can take advantage of the situation.

Of course, these are just Ye Xun's thoughts, and I haven't had time to tell Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu returned to his big tent, and his guards immediately delivered a letter.

Looking at this unsigned letter, Qin Liangyu frowned. She disliked this sneaky and shady behavior the most.

He opened the letter for a few glances, but his brows frowned even deeper. After a while, he raised his voice and said, "Come on, call Qin Minping over here."

Time was running out, and Qin Minping walked in quickly. According to Qin Liangyu's military order, everyone was not allowed to remove their armor tonight, because once Qin Bangping's side succeeded, this side would immediately move forward and take down Nanping Pass in one fell swoop.

Seeing his brother coming in, Qin Liangyu handed over the letter directly.

Qin Minping subconsciously took the letter and looked at it with the light on. After only a few glances, he said in a deep voice, "Sister, where did this letter come from?"

"I asked the guard just now, someone shot the letter from outside the camp with an arrow."

"What does the eldest sister mean?"

Qin Minping looked at the elder sister nervously and asked.

Qin Liangyu looked at his brother, suddenly smiled and said: "Are you still afraid that I will not succeed in murdering the imperial envoy? Besides, we have to have that ability!"

Qin Minping's expression relaxed, and he said, "Then let's not hesitate, send this letter to Eunuch Ye!"

Qin Liangyu nodded, his face changed, and he said, "No matter at any time, we are the court officials first, and then our personal honor and disgrace. You tell Eunuch Ye, and the Qin family will stand firmly with him."

Qin Minping clasped his fists heavily, then turned around and strode away.

The reason why Qin Liangyu in history can live forever is not only due to her bravery, but her ability to understand righteousness and always put the righteousness of the country and the nation first.

The letter was written by Fei Yongsheng, with the condition of handing over Qiu Chengyun, hoping that the Qin family would not help Ye Xun. At the same time, he also played a card of affection. After all, they are all from the middle of Sichuan, so they should not bend their elbows to Yunyun. Promise to Qin Liangyu that as long as Ye Xun can be driven out of Shuzhong, it would be best if he can be killed, and he will be rewarded with the position of the commander of the Sichuan Chengxuan Envoy.

The commander of the Sichuan Chengxuan envoy is the highest official position established by the imperial court in Sichuan. He is a real official in frontiers.

Faced with the temptation of such an official position, Qin Liangyu's first thought was whether the middle of Shu belonged to the King of Shu or the imperial court?Why did he appoint an official to make a wish?
If you want to understand this point, as Qin Liangyu is a person, you will naturally know how to make a choice.

After reading the letter from Qin Minping, Ye Xun pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "How about breaking through tonight?"

Qin Minping was taken aback, and blurted out: "There is no news from my brother, how can I break through?"

"My men take the lead"

When Ye Xun said this, his expression changed, and he continued: "Thank you for your understanding and righteousness on my behalf. I can guarantee that your choice will never be wrong."

Qin Liangyu was also very surprised to hear that Ye Xun was going to attack Nanping Pass again, but although she hadn't been in contact with Ye Xun for long, she could feel that the little eunuch was not a reckless person.

With no time to think about it, all the men and horses followed Ye Xun's [-] guards and rushed towards Guancheng again.

Ye Xun's [-] guards were in front, and Liu Ping's [-] officers and soldiers were behind. Liu Ping's task was not to cooperate with the attack, but to create momentum by beating gongs and drums, as if he was afraid that the closed rebels would not know that the officers and soldiers were coming to attack. .

For a moment, the noisy gongs and drums shattered the tranquility of the night again.

Two hundred guards rode their horses slowly to the pass, and stopped when they were out of the range of the bow and arrow. One hundred guards got off their horses and took aim with their guns, while another hundred guards were ready for an assault.

The loud sound of gongs and drums woke up the rebels who had closed the gate a long time ago. At this time, they were standing densely on the closed wall, preparing for a counterattack.

But what the rebels didn't expect was that not only did the officers and soldiers not launch a large-scale attack, but they also stopped within the range of bows and arrows. What are the officers and soldiers doing?
Although there were guns in the Ming army, they were not widely used, and many Ming soldiers had never even heard of the latest muskets in the Liaodong Army, let alone these mob rebels.

Looking down at the hundreds of officers and soldiers carrying strange things, many rebels even laughed loudly.

Just now they have taught the officers and soldiers a lesson with practical actions, so they don't believe that the officers and soldiers can fight over.

"crack, clap"

Amidst the roar of laughter, the muskets fired, and amidst the dense sounds like popping beans, the rebels on the wall screamed and fell down.

Not to mention the rebels, even Qin Liangyu and other generals watching the battle from the rear were dumbfounded. No one thought that the firearms of Ye Xun's guards were so sharp.

The rebel army on the wall was too dense, and there was no need to aim too much. Amid the sound of musket guns, the rebel army fell in pieces like cutting wheat, and the rest shouted and looked for hiding places.

At this time, another hundred guards who were still riding on the horse urged the horse forward. Although the distance of a few hundred steps was a bit steep, it didn't take much time for the cavalry.

There were rebels on the city wall who heard the sound of horseshoes and wanted to stand up and shoot arrows or throw stones. The guards who were still aiming at the closed wall with guns here immediately shot them down.

It was too late to say it, and then it was fast, a hundred cavalry approached the city wall in a blink of an eye, and then small black balls with white smoke flew towards the top of the city.

"Boom."

Soon, the sound of explosions, accompanied by screams, rang out one after another on the closed wall.

Almost at the same time, there was a sudden scream of killing in the pass.
