Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 382
Less than an hour after Xie Fei entered the city, Yang Chao sat nervously outside the city and prepared.

First of all, everyone stopped the boat in the distance, then quietly landed, and lurked a hundred feet away from the city.

Then there is a series of military orders to pass on.

It would be best if Xie Fei could quietly open a city gate. They would rush in as quickly as possible, occupy a city gate, and then enter the city with the whole army, launching a night battle against the enemy. In the darkness, it should be able to cause huge chaos.

Yang Chao thought about it many times. Since the Qing army had been slaughtering for ten days after entering the city, it means that their military discipline will not be very good during these ten days. No, who dares to stop them, they dare to use knives.

In other words, at least the military discipline of the Qing army is still very chaotic now. Only when these soldiers have released the madness in their hearts and killed a few people at that time can they be deterred and the military discipline can be restored.

Therefore, starting a chaotic war at this time is beneficial to oneself. It is possible to defeat the Qing army of more than 1 with [-] people.

Bringing these soldiers to attack the city is to train them and let the fear in their hearts be completely released, not to really let them die.

So Yang Chao put forward the second point, that is, he must maintain good military discipline on his side, with hundreds of people as a unit, he must closely follow the Bai Zong and other officers to attack, and there must be no confusion.

Otherwise, it is impossible to withdraw.

The third is to assign a guide to each of the Hundred Corps. During the defense of Yangzhou, a soldier who followed Yang Chao. These people followed Yang Chao to inspect the city defense. It can be said that they ran all over Yangzhou City. Familiar with.

Yang Chao's order to all the soldiers is, under the guidance of the guide, gather around Mr. Bai, attack from east to west, don't stop, attack from a certain city gate in the east to the city wall in the west, and then break out of the gate. In, don't look back.

"My lord, the lantern is on!"

A red lantern lit up in the southwest corner of the city.

This is a signal that Xie Fei has occupied a city gate.

The city gate in the southeast corner is not bad luck, it is the closest to Yang Chao and the others.

"Zhao Kang, set off immediately and occupy the city gate to support Xie Fei as soon as possible!"

Yang Chao ordered Zhao Kang to advance with the remaining [-] soldiers and stabilize his foothold immediately.

Zhao Kang set off immediately.

After that, Wang Pu's soldiers began to advance.

The situation that Yang Chao expected that Xie Fei would fall into a hard fight did not happen, because he did not expect that Xie Fei was not the one who seized the city gate, but was handed over to him by the Tartars. Under a personal surprise attack, as long as there are not 1000 Tartars, they will not be able to resist it.

After Yang Chao entered the city with Wang Pu's vanguard, he felt a lot of emotion, and then immediately assigned new characters.

"Don't stay with me in the bodyguard team, go and attack Xiaodongmen immediately!"

"Wang Pu, you send someone to capture the Great East Gate."

The large and small east gates are the two gates of the east wall of the old city wall, but now this wall is the division of the old and new cities, that is, a wall in the middle of the city.

The purpose of occupying the two city gates is naturally to go to the west city, which is the old city, as soon as possible.

The old city is not as prosperous as the new city, because the old city was mainly the place where the gentry lived in the early Ming Dynasty, while the new city was the place where the merchant class emerged after the society stabilized. In the past, the merchants just lived outside the old city and built houses along the city wall. After the new city wall was added, they also became residents in the new city, and the new city was even more prosperous.

But it is not unreasonable for Yang Chao not to rush to fight in the bustling new city, but to go to the old city immediately.

Because the gentry lived in the old city, all the government offices in Yangzhou City were basically in the old city, and except for Chaoguan, the new city was basically full of common people and businessmen.

Logically, Duoduo would definitely live in the governor's mansion or the governor's office.

Yang Chao's goal is the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion on the west and east side of Wenhe River, next to Wenchang Pavilion.

And Wang Pu also led a group of elite soldiers to attack the Governor's Yamen, Jiangdu County Yamen and other places.

Yang Chao trotted forward with the soldiers.

From time to time, there were rioting soldiers on the street. They were holding large bags in their arms, and even carried a woman on their shoulders.

Seeing the soldiers in action, they were so careless that they didn't care at all. Sometimes they would curse secretly, and then run away from the army.

Of course, there are also chaotic soldiers who encounter small troops.

"Which part are you from?"

someone asked.

Yang Chao continued to advance: "We are Li Benshen's subordinates."

At this time, he could only pretend to be the rest of Gao Jie's troops. Yang Chao thought that Li Benshen must have surrendered, and he was the last one to surrender, so there would be almost no one who knew them.

"You have crossed the line! This is Zhang Tianlu's territory, hurry up!"

This is already the middle block of the new city. It is neither the rich and wealthy area of ​​salt merchants beside the small Qinhuai canal in the inner city, nor the merchant area near the city gate and city wall. There are many ordinary people living here, so it is allocated to soldiers like Zhang Tianlu.

Yang Chao laughed and said, "Let's go!"

After speaking, he walked past a small group of soldiers.

Yang Chao doesn't want to waste time, the killer team is behind, his urgent task is to seize the governor's mansion, there is no need to waste time elsewhere.

The city was indeed in chaos, and it provided Yang Chao with great convenience. The convenience was so great that Yang Chao himself was deeply moved. It was unbelievable that he had already hit the small Qinhuai River, but he didn't even kill anyone.

Finally, on the Hongqiao on the Little Qinhuai River, I had to do it, because I encountered a wave of Eight Banners soldiers, speaking incomprehensible words, I don’t know if it is Manchu or Mongolian, if the language is not good, I have to kill people, fooling around Not past.

This pair of Eight Banners soldiers had less than 50 people, and they were not prepared. They just yelled at them, probably saying that Yang Chao had crossed the border, but they answered them with long spears. One charged and left behind. Dead bodies all over the place.

After crossing Hongqiao, not far away is Xiaodongmen. The gate of this city is wide open at this time, and there are no soldiers guarding it.

Yang Chao rushed over in an instant, heading towards Tongsi Bridge.

At this time behind Yang Chao, the small-scale fight had already begun.

More than 1 people were divided into more than 100 teams and marched along the main streets.

"Which part?"

It's not that when encountering such a question, the answer is always a long gun.

"Fishing over the line!"

Still serving with spears.

These troops behind have only one purpose, and that is to kill people.

Yang Chao's order was that anyone who was still active on the streets at night, whether they were soldiers or civilians, would be shot to death.

And kill along the street, don't love to fight, don't chase the remnants hiding in the streets and alleys, advance in an all-round way, from east to west, the goal is the city wall on the east.

This kind of fighting quickly caused chaos, but at this moment, the Tazi's first reaction was not that they were attacked by the Ming army, but that they were fighting among themselves.

The officers who led the army immediately thought of being plotted against by the enemy. After all, during their looting these days, conflicts often occurred, and it was common for them to go over the border. Although there were no big fights, small fights often happened.

As a result, some officers gathered soldiers and began to settle accounts with their enemies.

Sneak attack, internal strife, robbery, arson, Yangzhou city is in chaos.

However, Yang Chao had already arrived at the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion to the north of Tongsi Bridge.

"Don't go through the main entrance! Don't attack by force. Let's enter the back house directly from the back wall."

Yang Chao is very familiar with Governor's Yamen.

Knowing that this is a courtyard with five entrances, as an official office, it is not as complicated as a merchant's garden, and there are not so many winding corridors.

Take the soldiers to detour to a position behind the high courtyard wall.

"Xie Fei, take it up and climb up, and quietly opened the door. Remember that there is a narrow passage to enter. After you open the door, don't wait, just climb over another wall, and then occupy the corner door."

The lane is one width wide, and consists of two parallel tall courtyard walls. There are doors on both walls, but one is on the southernmost side, and the other is on the northernmost side. Many government offices have designs for this kind of laneway, obviously for military purposes. , There are holes in many places on the wall, and the spear can be stretched out. If the army who does not know the situation rushes to attack, the defenders hiding behind the wall can easily kill the enemy in the wall.

It's a pity that this kind of enemy does not include sneak attack enemies, and the defenders do not include careless defenders.

The courtyard wall opened quickly, and Zhao Kang was the first to rush in with someone. He was responsible for cooperating with Xie Fei to protect the corner gate, because it was very likely that after Xie Fei occupied the corner gate, he would be attacked by Tartars. If Tudor was really here , then it is absolutely certain that there are defenders and defenses in the yard, and they are all elite Bayara barracks.

When Yang Chao walked into the narrow alley, he had already heard the sound of fighting. Sure enough, there were people guarding the yard, and he found Xie Fei immediately, but Zhao Kang was almost guarding behind the corner door. As soon as the corner door opened, he rushed in and followed The Tartars fought together.

When Yang Chao walked into the corner gate, there were already dozens of corpses lying on the ground, most of them belonged to Tartars, and only a few digits belonged to his own people.

However, there were less than a hundred armored elites who fought against the more than 200 people led by Xie Fei and Zhao Kang. They fought and retreated, and shouted loudly.

The lights in the yard were turned on one by one, and before the lights were turned on, many soldiers rushed out from various rooms.

"All charge!"

Already ready to disrupt the battle, Yang Chao didn't need to hold back. Seeing this situation, he didn't have to wait for the Tartars to form a team, and directly charged first.

Twelve Hundred Corps launched a rapid charge in all directions according to the pre-positioned positions.

The guards of the Tartars had obviously fallen asleep. In each room, they could only rush out scatteredly at this time. When encountering a group charge of a hundred people, they were naturally very passive, and most of them were too late to put on their armor. With a knife or a spear, the captive soldiers suffered heavy casualties as soon as they came into contact.

Looking at the soldiers attacking in all directions, Yang Chao was a little puzzled, where should he attack next?

The governor's office is too big. There are no less than a hundred rooms in the back hall, wing rooms, flower halls, and bedrooms. Which room is Duduo in?
Soon the tartar pointed out the direction for Yang Chao.

In a room on the right side of the main hall in the center, a group of Qing soldiers rushed out at this time, but they did not join the battle rashly, but stood firmly at the door, and stood at the door shouting loudly.

As they shouted, the Tartars gathered towards them one by one.

Obviously this is an important place, where can Duduo be if he is not here, unless this is not where Duduo lives, he must be in that house.
