The Hujie Gate is open, and uninvited guests rush in, trampling the peace in the passage.
Military operations are not street fights, and the left-wing army still retains to some extent the qualities that a regular army should have.
Under the command of officers at all levels, they occupied and controlled the towers and conducted reconnaissance and search of various government buildings.
The city has three gates and partitions on the city wall, so it can only be attacked from the ground passage.
After a search, not even a ghost was found. The left-wing army and hundreds of private troops gradually advanced to the Weiwei Army Gate.
There was still no movement in the city, but the city gate was locked tightly, as if to silently express rejection.
What does this mean?
The door is not closed in front, but it is closed here. What's going on?
If you want to lure the enemy deep, you should also be more thorough.
Yang Ji frowned slightly, thinking about the mystery inside.
At this time, Li Zhi caught up from behind with his sword in hand, "Why did you stop?"
"Jian Yun, this city gate is closed, I feel something strange..."
Li Zhi's face was full of impatience, and he tried to teach him a lesson.
"What's so weird!? Just open the city gate immediately after it's closed! What's there to worry about when there are only two hundred guards inside? Eight hundred versus two hundred, I have the advantage! You guys have been dawdling for most of the day, and if anything happens to the girl, If King Qian runs away, then all your efforts have been wasted and a disaster is imminent! Charge! Charge quickly! No more hesitation!"
Zhou Lian, Zheng Taiqing and others also came to the governor anxiously, waving the exquisite long sword in their hands, "How can we achieve great things by looking forward and backward!? You have only fifteen minutes to attack the gate of the governor's house!"
As a military general, the tradition of being dominated by civil servants has been engraved in his bones. Yang Ji did not dare to refute, so he ordered his subordinates to start hitting the city gate.
Perhaps it was because the gates inside the city were not taken seriously and had not been repaired or replaced for hundreds of years. Therefore, after being hit hard by a wooden block twenty or thirty times, a big hole was created.
Finding that there seemed to be no one inside, several soldiers immediately got in, took off the door bars, and opened the city gate.
"Attack, attack! The first person to enter the Governor's Mansion will be rewarded five hundred guan!"
A dozen civil servants shouted excitedly and drove all the soldiers toward the city gate like sheep.
From their point of view, scoring two goals in a row is obviously a victory in sight. Z.br>
Under the heavy reward, the soldiers all screamed and rushed in.
Yang Ji was very angry at the officials issuing orders indiscriminately, but he couldn't help himself. He was dragged into the doorway by the chaos of his subordinates, and soon rushed through the doorway as if drifting with the tide.
At this time, he suddenly smelled a relatively strong aroma of wine, which made him feel a little strange. Before he could think about it, he was wrapped up by his subordinates who were eager to make a fortune and rushed towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion ninety feet away.
Seeing that his subordinates became disorganized and rushed forward blindly, Yang Ji immediately shouted angrily.
"Stop, stop! Stop the whole team! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Officers at all levels also shouted orders, "There is a city gate ahead, why are you running so fast to reincarnate!?"
"Hold on, hold on! Just in case of an ambush, no matter how good the money is, you have to live to enjoy it!"
"Mother Selin, are you deaf? Stop this!"
After being kicked and punched seven times, the class consciousness in the army still took effect, causing the left-wing sergeants to stop.
But those private soldiers didn't care about this. They simply crossed the left wing army from both sides and continued to charge forward.
However, this corridor was only two feet wide, and the walls on both sides were higher than those of the government office outside. Suddenly the scene became more chaotic than before.
If an ambush soldier breaks out at this time, these hundreds of people will collapse immediately.
At the top of the city gate of the Governor's Mansion, there was no light, and a group of people were standing in the darkness, quietly watching the chaos.
"I seem to think too highly of them..." Zhao Mengqi murmured.
Chen Wei, who was beside him, looked a little complicated, "Your Highness, there is actually no need to be like this. Now that we have discovered that they are planning to do evil, we can cut them off at the bud, so why take such risks as now?"
Zhao Mengqi shook his head and smiled, "If it had been wiped out early, what if
Why let all Fuzhou people witness this rebellion? Besides, there is still a big difference in sentencing between intended rebellion and actual rebellion..."
Chen Wei smiled bitterly, "God has the virtue of a happy life."
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't understand King Yan's purpose of fishing and law enforcement, he just felt that this method was too cruel and would inevitably involve thousands of lives afterwards.
Zhao Mengqi said coldly, "I thought that I could use gentle means to turn the Song Dynasty back to the right path, but some people took this as my weakness!"
After a pause, his voice became a little colder, "Since the tree of revival must be watered with blood, let's start with these people."
While they were talking, the rebel army, which had managed to restore some order through the efforts of the officers, was already only forty feet away from the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Zhao Mengqi raised his hand with a playful smile on his face, "God said there must be light, I said there must be fire, prepare, ignite... launch!"
At the same time, the rebels in the passage saw the lights of fire on the top of the city, and then four torches stretched out of the crenels.
What is this for? Yang Ji was confused.
It was not surprising that there were people guarding the city. After all, this was the last line of defense. Even if King Yan gave up the first two lines due to lack of troops, he would never give up this one.
Before he could figure it out, he saw four torches turning into meteors, roaring towards him!
By the cup! Why is there a bed crossbow here? ?
"Escape!!" Yang Ji subconsciously let out a shrill scream.
However, there were either high walls or closed government offices on both sides. There were not many places to hide, so most people had no choice but to try to lie down somewhere.
But before they could lie down, four meteors flew over their heads and struck at the mighty military gate behind them.
They had not noticed just now that there were many wooden barrels and clay pots piled on both sides of the doorway, only slightly fixed with a hastily made thin wooden board.
The flaming crossbow accurately hit the wooden board and shattered it. Sparks flew everywhere. The unfixed wooden barrels and clay pots fell to pieces on the roadside. Spirits and kerosene leaked out, and they were instantly ignited. A thick wall of fire was formed, blocking the rebels' way back.
The rebels were all stunned when they saw this scene, and Yang Ji was alarmed, realizing that he and others had fallen into a trap.
Now that the way back is cut off, the only way to survive is to rush forward. "The whole army obeys the order and rush to the gate of the Governor's Mansion! They only have 200 troops, rush for me!"
But at this time, hundreds of black shadows appeared on the high walls on both sides, holding enemy crossbows and shooting at the densely packed rebel army.
"Who said there are only two hundred? Don't think of civilians in the army as soldiers. Do you really think that we can only talk about military affairs on paper?"
After Lu Xiufu shot an arrow, he muttered, twisted and bent down, stepped on the stirrup ring at the front of the crossbow arm with his foot, then held the crossbow string with both hands, pulled it up with the help of his waist, completed the re-stringing, and then installed the crossbow arrow.
He stuck his head out again, and instead of firing the same volley as before, he looked for more valuable targets among the rebels.
Shot by nearly two hundred crossbow arrows, the rebels suffered heavy casualties and were howling like ghosts. Few of them even thought of fighting back.
"Come on, charge on. Anyone who wants to survive will charge forward."
Yang Ji waved his sword as if mad, trying to drive the soldiers to charge.
Lu Xiufu caught this scene and immediately aimed the enemy crossbow at Yang Ji, "It's you!"
The moment the hanging knife was buckled, Yang Ji seemed to be keenly aware of the fatal danger, and subconsciously pulled the soldier in front of him to use it as a shield.
The crossbow bolt penetrated the chest of the soldier who was shouting in terror, completely calming his fear.
Yang Ji, who had escaped the disaster, cried out in his heart that he was lucky, but Lu Xiufu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and disappointed. Just as he was about to turn around and wind the bow again, he saw a crossbow gun flying towards him, penetrating the thick iron armor without any hindrance, and piercing Yang Ji's body. The back then penetrated the front chest and continued to pierce into the corpse of the soldier, tightly linking the officers and soldiers together, allowing them to accompany each other on the road to hell.
"Friends of life and death... officers and soldiers are equal..."
Lu Xiufu muttered while winding up his string. He was not a talkative person at first, but it was his first time going into battle and killing someone, so he subconsciously used this method to relieve tension.
open.
Regardless of whether it is an armored left-wing army or an unarmored private army, they are all equal in the face of the enemy's crossbow at close range. As long as they are shot, they will either die or be injured.
After several rounds of crossbows, no more than half of the more than 700 people could still breathe, and there should only be a few dozen who were uninjured. In a sense, they were all wiped out.
Zhao Mengqi, who was on the top of the city, put down his binoculars. He looked no longer happy, but rather disappointed and disappointed. "After all, we were the main force along the way, but it turned out to be such a waste..."
Then he took off his bag and said sadly, "Send the order for Chang Geng and the others to go out and clean up the mess."
Looking at the armor on his body, you can tell that he originally planned to go into battle in person to have fun, but unfortunately the rebels would rather die than fulfill his wish...
The order was passed, the door of the Governor's Mansion opened, and Chang Geng came out in formation with a hundred Banzhi Imperial Guards.
They all wore infantry armor and held machetes in their hands. They lined up in a tight formation and advanced slowly like a wall.
According to the plan, they are the core force of this battle. This kind of road terrain is a perfect battlefield tailor-made for heavy infantry.
Who would have imagined that when they appeared on the stage, they would only be cleaning up the battlefield.
"Those who surrender will avoid death!..."
The guards shouted in unison and slowly approached the remaining rebels.
Anyone who still has the will to resist in the face of this situation is definitely a hero, but it is a pity that there are no such characters among the rebels.
As long as they were still able to move, they all obeyed the instructions obediently, threw away all their weapons, and lay down on the road with their heads in their hands.
A rebellion seemed to be put down without any effort.
The fire wall of the mighty military gate is still burning brightly. These spirits and kerosene are worth a lot of money, and they are definitely the biggest cost of this operation.
The moment the fire broke out, a hundred Banzhi guards emerged from the residences outside Zicheng and quickly attacked the open Hujie Gate.
The more than 30 rebels who were left guarding the city gate were caught off guard. After a brief resistance, the guards occupied the Hujie Gate and locked all the civil servants, including Zhou Lian, inside with nowhere to escape.
After seeing the signal fireworks emitted from Hujiemen, Zhao Mengqi yawned, "It's almost done..."
