In the military camp in the city, more than 10,000 soldiers were making rice in pots. Four people, Wang Yue, Zhang Yi, Wang Bo, and Xu Ming, were gathered together. Mao Xingyi was also here to accompany them. Several people were eating around a pot of hodgepodge. .
The soldiers of the surrounding camps were all surrounding a large pot and eating. These soldiers were eating and drinking, shouting and drinking, and it was very lively.
"Haha, come on, let's have a drink!"
Mao Xingyi picked up the glass, and Wang Yue, Zhang Yi, Wang Bo, and Xu Ming also picked up the wine glasses. They clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
"We are in such a hurry today that only we generals have wine. Next time, we will make sure all the officers and men in the army drink to their heart's content!"
While he was talking, a New Army soldier came to the camp, passed through the dense pots and stoves, came to Wang Yue's side, and whispered a few words.
Zhang Yi, Wang Bo, and Xu Ming recognized the soldier as a captain of the Guards Battalion and immediately became alert.
Then Wang Yue looked at Mao Xingyi, the smile on his face became happier, and said: "I don't think we have to wait until next time. Today Mao Guerrilla will stay here to have a good drink. Anyway, with these three commanders here, Mao Guerrilla can't go." It's somewhere else, and I won't be here to accompany you."
Mao Xingyi's pupils suddenly shrank, he stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Do it!"
In the military camp, the soldiers and horses of the Jimo camp became restless and began to rush towards the surrounding New Army soldiers.
However, the officers and soldiers of the new army were not only superior in numbers, but also more elite. When both sides had no weapons, they began to fight with bare hands.
Zhang Yi and Wang Bo directly threw down Mao Xingyi. The two punched and kicked Mao Xingyi. Xu Ming couldn't get up for a while, so he stood around with several subordinates and knocked down the soldiers who came to help one by one.
Seeing this, Wang Yue felt anxious and said loudly: "I leave this place to you. I want to lead my troops to seize the city defense. I can't delay it!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhang Yi, Wang Bo, and Xu Ming to respond, Wang Yue led a few guards and ran towards the outside of the camp. Along the way, he also sounded the rally call for the rear camp. One of the guards directly raised the raised the banner of Wang Yue.
As the banner moved, soldiers from the rear camp kept coming, gathered under the banner, and rushed out of the camp together.
When Wang Yue left the camp, he saw Kang Hui, the president of the left, Bai Hanyue, the president of the right, and Liu Jing, the picket officer. Their faces were full of excitement, and Bai Hanyue even yelled. Said: "I have long been displeased with Mao Xingyi, but today I feel quite happy!"
Wang Yue looked around and saw that more than 400 people had gathered outside the camp, and there were still many soldiers from the rear camp who had not come out, so he said: "There will be more exciting things later, open the camp arsenal immediately and give the soldiers Let’s distribute the troops and prepare them!”
Liu Yan's new army has its own arsenal in the camp, just two hundred steps east of the camp gate.
Right Commander Qian Commander Bai Hanyue and his men rushed into the camp again, and it didn't take long for them to arrive with a large number of blunderbuss, spears, swords and shields. As for the armor, it was too heavy to carry, so I didn't bring it. I just brought some extra shields.
More than four hundred soldiers hurriedly armed themselves. Wang Yue looked at the number of troops and said to several people: "You two, General Qian, will follow me to seize the city gates immediately! Liu picket stayed here and continued to gather the following soldiers. Send them to the east gate, and I will lead my men to break through from there."
"yes!"
There were not many troops assembled outside the camp, and Wang Yue did not dare to divide his troops. Together with Bai Hanyue and Kang Hui, he gathered more than 400 soldiers and rushed to the east gate.
At this time, the guerrilla general Dong Bihui was sitting at the east city gate. On the city tower, Dong Bihui looked at the camp in the distance, then looked at the location of Liu Yan's mansion, and murmured: "What's going on? The signal was clearly sounded over there just now. Why is there still no movement from the camp, could it be that we missed something?"
Although Dong Bihui is usually reckless, he has been leading troops for many years and has his own plans in mind.
"Wait a little longer. If there is no definite news yet, then I will lead my troops to support!"
Dong Bihui made up his mind and suddenly saw a troop of hundreds of soldiers and horses coming towards this side. The hundreds of people had no flags and it was impossible to tell which battalion of soldiers they belonged to. Hundreds of people can still maintain a formation, with sword and shield bearers in front, spearmen behind, and gunners at the end, in an orderly manner.
Dong Bihui's face suddenly turned ugly. In the entire Jimo Camp, only Liu Yan's soldiers and horses could do this. The surrounding subordinates also saw the situation over there, and their faces became tangled. Many of them became confused. Everyone wants to quit.
Dong Bihui immediately jumped up from his chair and shouted: "Prepare for war and guard the city gate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a steel knife fell from the sky and struck Dong Bihui on the shoulder, cutting off his left shoulder and his head together.
Blood spurted out on the top of the city. Dong Bihui's head fell to the ground, and his headless body fell to the ground. The surrounding soldiers looked at all this and were all at a loss.
A man from a hundred households held a steel knife in his hand and said loudly: "Dong Bi will let us fight against the new army, which means that we will die! Now I kill him, you all put down your weapons and follow me to surrender to Liu Guerrie. Only in this way... …”
Before he could finish speaking, a flag officer standing next to him thrust his spear, directly piercing the chest of the hundred households: "You deserve to die for killing Shangguan!"
The hundred households screamed and their eyes widened. I finally wanted to take a gamble, maybe I could take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of it, but I didn't want to die here. I was really unwilling!
Then the Ming army soldiers stationed in the East City Gate area divided into two groups. One group wanted to surrender to Liu Yan, and the other group wanted to continue to follow Zhang Youxun. The two groups of about 2,000 people began to fight each other.
Wang Yue ran all the way, thinking about how to capture the East City Gate. But when he got there, he saw the defenders in front of him fighting each other, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Kang Hui said in disbelief: "Isn't this a trap?"
Bai Jianghan said excitedly: "What a trap, we got lucky!"
Wang Yue was even more exaggerated. He jumped directly onto a horse-tethering post nearby, drew his sword and shouted loudly: "Charge up and take down the east city gate!"
More than 400 New Army soldiers rushed forward, and the fighting Ming army was dispersed like ducks being driven away. In less than half a stick of incense, Wang Yue and others were standing on the east city gate.
"Haha, luck, what luck!"
Wang Yue looked at the more than a thousand captured prisoners, smiling happily in his heart, and then said to Bai Jiangyue and Kang Hui: "You two each lead two hundred soldiers, advance along the two wings of the city wall, and seize the remaining gates. .”
"Leave the remaining dozens of soldiers to guard these prisoners."
"yes!"
"Eh?"
Wang Yue suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Who saw Dong Bihui!"
At this time, among a group of prisoners passing by, a flag officer hurriedly said: "General, I know!"
Wang Yue pointed at the little flag officer and said, "That, you, come here and tell me."
"Young man has seen the general!"
"Where are Dong Bihui's people?"
"he died."
"died?"
Wang Yue said: "Where is the body? How did he die?"
"Just over there at the gate tower."
The flag officer said: "Before the general arrived, Dong Youyi was killed by his subordinates. Then the defenders here became confused. Some wanted to surrender and some refused to surrender, so they started fighting."
Wang Yue hurriedly came to the city tower and saw Dong Bihui's body. Then he called two soldiers to take a look at it and said, "Find a mat, roll it up, and take it back after you are done."
"yes."
Soon, more and more soldiers from the rear camp rushed to the east city gate, and even soldiers from the left and right camps came to support. It was obvious that the battle at the military camp was over.
Wang Yue divided his troops and rushed to the remaining city gates. In less than half an hour, he completely took control of all the defenses of Jimo Camp City.
In the guerrilla general's residence, Liu Yan received reports from various ministries one after another and felt reassured.
Miao Shao, Xu Ming, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, and Wang Yue also came one after another. Zhang Youxun, Mao Xingyi, and Wang Ye were also tied up and brought to the main hall, along with Dong Bihui's body.
Liu Yan immediately ordered Wang Yue to lead his troops to temporarily block the city, and Wang Bo to lead his troops to garrison the camp, guard the prisoners of various departments, and imprison Zhang Youxun, Mao Xingyi and Wang Ye in the city prison.
Zhang Youxun was scared out of his wits at this time. When he was dragged out by the New Army soldiers, he kept begging for mercy. Wang Ye was the same. The two of them were dragged out one after another, and their cries could be said to be loud and clear.
Mao Xingyi, on the other hand, acted much tougher and glared at Liu Yan. Although he was trembling with fear, he never said a word. When he was dragged out of the yard, he shouted loudly: "Liu Yan! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit." , you will have this day sooner or later!"
Everyone was furious when they saw this, and Wang Yue even rushed forward and kicked Mao Xingyi.
Liu Yan looked at the tragic situation of the three people and was not angry in his heart. Anyway, in his opinion, Zhang Youxun, Mao Xingyi, and Wang Ye were already dead like Dong Bihui.
"Okay, let the guard camp prepare and follow me out of the city to meet the governor."
At this time, the news of Lu Xiangsheng going south was already known to everyone, and Liu Yan also received the news sent by Lu Xiangsheng, otherwise he would not be so concerned about the movements of Zhang Youxun and others.
Miao Shao took the order to reorganize the troops, and Wang Yue and others also went to deploy their troops. Xu Ming came over and said, "Sir, is the matter not finished yet?"
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Of course it's not finished. You immediately lead the cavalry battalion to set off, search the homes of Zhang Youxun, Wang Ye, Mao Xingyi and Dong Bihui, divide all the seizures into two, store 80% in the military camp, and seal the remaining 20% locally. .”
Xu Ming smiled and said: "My subordinates understand, so let's do it."
"Move quickly."
Liu Yan said: "I estimate that the governor will arrive in the next day or two. I will go to greet you and give you some time. Zhang Youxun and the four of them have been greedy for a long time. They must have a lot of money and food, and they must all get it within two days. Dig it out and hide it well.”
"Don't worry, sir."
Xu Ming said with a smile: "I'm the best at confiscating homes!"
Some people died, but not completely...
