Ushisuke was caught off guard and fell heavily onto the muddy ground from his horse. He fell so hard that stars appeared in his eyes, but he only fell and was not shot. Because the flintlock pistols of the "heroes" were not very accurate, although several muskets were aimed at his back and fired, they hit the horse's butt under his crotch. The horse's butt blossomed, and he immediately became anxious. With a hard shake, he was thrown off.
He didn't understand what was going on at first, until the sound of gunshots rang out in his ears, and a shout with a Sichuan accent came: "Master Wang is here! Follow Master Wang to kill the thieves! I'd rather take the imperial examination and join the army... "
When he heard "the king's master is coming" and "kill the thieves", Niu Jie had not yet reacted - Dashun had been established in Sichuan for more than 20 years. In Niu Jie's impression, the Dashun soldiers were the king's master, and Zhu Cihong and His men are thieves! But when he heard "I'd rather take the imperial examination and join the army, I'd rather have a seed", he already knew that the Sichuan people who had closed the cattle pen were rebelling.
Because only Sichuan and Yunnan people can shout such ridiculous slogans!
He struggled to get up from the ground, taking out his sword and looking around. At first glance, I found that Niulan Pass was already in chaos. There was choking smoke everywhere. There were shouts of killing and the sounds of weapons clashing everywhere. If you listen carefully, you can find that the shouts of killing have Chu and Sichuan sounds. There is also Shaanxi sound!
Needless to say, Chu Yin must be the "heroes" brought to Niulan Pass by Niu Jie himself! There must be Zhu Thief's undercover agents among them... Judging from their posture, I'm afraid there are quite a few!
Of course the Shaanxi sound was shouted by the Dashun soldiers who were closing the cattle pen! They were not a mob. Although they were attacked and suffered heavy casualties from their opponents' flintlock pistols, and even Jiedushi Wu Ruyi was uncertain about his life or death, they still resisted immediately under the organization of grassroots officers. On both sides of the long street in Niulan Pass, they fought with the Ming army disguised as rebels who suddenly attacked.
The Ming troops who participated in the raid were all Tiqi of the Jinyiwei. There were only three, four, five hundred of them. They were all veterans of the New Army who had overcome difficulties. Their combat effectiveness was not weak, but their number was too small. The reason for the small number was that Because he was afraid of being discovered by Niu Jie and the heroes of Dashun Trading Department around him. Niu Jie and the agents of the Trade Department are not fools. If most of the 5,000 people under his command are undercover agents, how could they not know? So the real undercover agents are only a few dozen leading brothers and these four to five hundred royal guards.
The remaining four thousand people were just the younger brothers of the elder brother. They followed him all the way after receiving a generous reward from the elder brother. They did not know that they were not rebels, but Master Wang...
These younger brothers who don't know their true identity don't have much fighting power, so the real backbone is these four to five hundred elite Tiqi.
Wu Ruyi was also very vigilant and deployed more than 5,000 people in Niulan Pass. Even if they were attacked by surprise, they would be enough to suppress the four to five hundred Ming army Tiqi and more than four thousand "Jianghu boys".
But the Ming army must have a back-up plan!
Niu Jie knew without thinking that behind his team, there must be elite soldiers of the Ming army following him. If the gate of Niulan Pass could not be closed and the suspension bridge could not be folded before they arrived, there would be big trouble.
He turned back towards the closed door of the cattle pen, and what he saw was a dense crowd of human heads, squished together!
It is impossible to pull the suspension bridge with the door closed. The only way is to lower the jackslide gate as soon as possible.
He quickly looked towards the top of the city and found to his surprise that it was already in a mess!
It’s not that the Ming army that made a surprise attack took wings and flew up, but that the Sichuan people’s officials and criminals at the gate of the city rebelled!
They shouted out with a Sichuan accent, "I'd rather take the imperial examination and join the army than have a seed!"
It's a coincidence that when Niu Jie led his people to Niulan Pass, it was when the expansion and reinforcement project of Niulan Pass was at its climax - Wu Ruyi mobilized tens of thousands of people and criminals here to prepare for the original expansion and reinforcement of Niulan Pass. The small and thin Guancheng was expanded into a bastion, and city walls were also planned to be built on the hillsides on both sides of the city.
Therefore, after closing and closing, at this time, it is all Sichuan people's ministers and Sichuan people's criminals.
Most of these people were dissatisfied with the rule of the Dashun Dynasty, and many of them were still looking forward to the Ming army to rescue them. Now that they were incited by a few bad guys, of course they became one.
"It's against you! It's all against you..." Niu Jie gritted his teeth and muttered a few times, and suddenly shouted: "Brothers from the Trade Department, go to the city gate to kill the thieves!"
Then he ignored the fierce battle taking place on the long street, and just shouted in Shaanxi dialect to the heroes of the Trade Department who were still able to move under his command, and they all followed him and rushed to the head of Niulanguan Pass.
Li Jinxue is one of the few bad guys!
"Master Wang is here" was the first thing he shouted, and "I'd rather take the imperial examination to join the army than have the seed" was also the first thing he shouted.
Not only did he shout, he also grabbed a long-handled hammer from someone's hand, swung it into a round shape, and then smashed it on the head of a nearby soldier!
Li Jinxue, who was still weak when he was working just now, is now full of strength. With one hammer blow, he smashed the head of the soldier to pieces!
There were other criminals at the gate. They were the sworn enemies of the Dashun Dynasty, so they were also the first group of people to attack. They used hammers, shovels, poles, and anything they could get to attack the soldiers closest to them. Smash it over.
Led by them, the civilians in the gates also rebelled a lot and began to attack the nearby government soldiers.
Although the soldiers were caught off guard, they were all protected by armor. As long as they were not hit in the vital parts by blunt objects, they would be fine and they would be able to fight back immediately with weapons.
They have all received strict military training since childhood. They are not able to fight against those civilians and criminals. Therefore, although their number is small, they can still compete with these civilians and criminals. But they were only focused on fighting the enemies around them, and temporarily forgot or simply couldn't spare the time to lower the Thousand Jin Gate.
The city gate of Niulan Pass is still open!
"Anyone who has the guts to fight with me will be his mother's hero in overcoming difficulties! The Emperor will be generously rewarded!"
The heroes with teams of young men also roared.
Whether he can transform from a hero in the world to a court eagle depends on today!
The group of young men were all fed with the money distributed by the Jin Yiwei. At this time, they all became ferocious and ferocious, and all the copycats rushed into the city gate.
At the same time, the Dashun army stationed in the pass also rushed towards Guanmen Long Street - the entrance to the horse road at Shangchengguan is near Guanmen Long Street! If Guanmen Street is not captured, the Dashun army on Guancheng will have to fight alone, and the Qianjin Gate does not know when it will be lowered.
Thousands of soldiers from both sides fought together on the closed long street which was not open but not too narrow either.
Li Jinxue, who felt that he still had hope to take the college entrance examination in this life, was full of energy at this time. He wielded a sledgehammer and fought a soldier holding a sword and shield to an inextricable point!
But swinging a hammer is a physically demanding job after all. How much energy can he have while working as a coolie without eating or drinking these days? At first it was all due to excitement, as if he had endless energy, but after a while he started to pant, and even after hitting for a long time, he didn't hit the opponent - the soldier of the government was very agile, and his sword skills were also very good. He blocked the left and blocked the right. Yes, he easily blocked Li Jinxue's fierce attack.
Seeing that Li Jinxue's strength was exhausted and the hammer was swinging slowly, the soldiers also began to fight back. First they cut off the wooden pole of the big hammer in Li Jinxue's hand with a knife, and then stabbed Li Jinxue in the chest with the tip of the knife. Li Jinxue quickly dodged and put his feet down. I tripped over something unknown and fell backwards. The back of my head hit an unknown hard object. As soon as my vision went dark, I lost consciousness...
He didn't know how long he had been dizzy before he could faintly hear the sound of cheering in his ears.
"Master Wang is here! Master Wang is here again! Sichuan people have to live... I would rather take the imperial examination and join the army!"
It turns out that the Ming army’s support has arrived! Those who came this time were not just a mob, but the elites from Shizhou Guard and Xichuan Town, numbering no less than 5,000!
Niulan Pass is a dangerous place and will be captured by the Ming Dynasty King's Master!
