The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 123

The common people heard the call of the Ming army and learned that the guard at the south gate of Zunhua was willing to let them into the city, so they all swarmed south.

The Jiannu who were chasing after him also knew the news. They believed that Ji Ce had deliberately slowed down the speed of the pursuit, deliberately not slaughtering the backward commoners, but driving them closer to the south gate.

The real slaves mixed in the refugee team all changed into the clothes of ordinary Han people and put on cotton caps. The traitors and traitors were even more at ease.

The armored men and traitors who participated in the make-up to seize the city all knew that once the adventure was successful, it would be a miracle.

Master Mangurtai made it clear when he assigned the task. If Zunhua City is captured, all the Han people who participated in the lurking will be given preferential treatment for raising the flag, and they will be given the right to establish their own family and own Aha. Two prospects.

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men. There are one or two hundred Jiannu and traitors mixed among the thousands of Han refugees. They heard the Ming army tell everyone that the south gate will be opened for half an hour to let the common people enter the city. Fly to the south.

The bright red flag on the south city wall fluttered in the wind. The [-] guns and four Hongyi cannons deployed by Liu Zhilun here have been loaded and ready to go. In order to prevent the morale of our army from being blown up at a critical moment, Huang Han did not allow the loading of wood cannon.

Huang Han thought that some of the common people could be let into Wengcheng. Since it is known that the common people are mixed with the soldiers of the Later Jin Army, why can't they kill those spies while saving some of the common people?

The "Red Banner Army" just needs to take some risks. Huang Han believes that it is worthwhile to take the risk to save thousands of Han people. hide everywhere.

As soon as the people turned around the west wall, they heard Ming soldiers shouting on the south wall. The content was very simple. All men must take off their hats and expose an arm and shoulder to the outside of their clothes. If they are willing to go shirtless Priority access to the city.

The Han people were really not stupid and immediately understood the Ming army's intentions. Everyone threw away their hats and continued to run. Many young and middle-aged men stretched out their arms from their clothes and exposed their shoulders while running.

In the war of the cold weapon era, if the soldiers did not wear armor or shields, and their combat effectiveness dropped to the point where they were like ordinary people, their fate must be very bad.

Therefore, Huang Han judged that the Jiannu armored soldiers mixed into the refugee group could give up their long weapons and heavy weapons and secretly carry short weapons such as short knives, daggers, and hatchets.

But for their own safety, they will definitely wear armor, at least leather armor or cotton armor.

Wearing armor inside can't make half of the body naked with a single pull. As long as the "Red Banner Army" finds young and middle-aged men in tight clothes, they will be regarded as spies of the Houjin Army and shoot them directly until they are killed.

It is even more impolite to face people who refuse to take off their hats. These people are most likely true slaves, and of course they must be killed without mercy.

In special times, there should be no kindness at all. Even if ordinary people are killed by mistake, those young and middle-aged people who are tightly covered must be killed, because the proportion of spies among these people is definitely higher than that of good people.

In fact, the common people also found some silent and unfamiliar faces in the fleeing team, and when they heard the Ming army shouting, they immediately realized that those strange-looking strangers should be Jiannu.

In order to expose the enemy to the broad daylight, they immediately distanced themselves from these people. The Han people followed the order of the Ming army and took off their hats. Many young and middle-aged men rushed towards the south gate with their clothes tied around their waists.

At this time, many people obviously hesitated. Just as they looked at each other, the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" at the top of the city attacked. Song Pengfei's blunderbuss was the first to fire, followed by a rain of arrows attacking the common people who were still wearing hats.

Random guns and random arrows are likely to kill ordinary people by mistake, but there is no way to do this.

After being hit suddenly, most of the people who refused to take off their hats started to run northward. It is certain that they were Jiannu Jiabing.

Jiannu knew that if he ran along the city wall, he would be constantly attacked by feathered arrows and bird guns. How could he survive without armor?So they ran north in a straight line to try to get out of the range of the Ming army as soon as possible.

The "Red Banner Army" was well-prepared and killed dozens of suspected spies with a random shot. In order to confirm whether the judgment was roughly accurate, Song Pengfei stopped two shirtless men at the top of the city and ordered them to look back at the dead.

He said: "You two don't run to the city gate. I order you to go and see those people who were killed by our army. Look carefully and see if they wear armor, shaved their heads, and have pigtails. .”

The two looked at Song Pengfei who was shouting, and knew that he was an officer, so they agreed without hesitation: "Young one obeys, I go and have a look right away."

The two men took the order with joy, because they learned that they would have the chance to be pulled up to the wall by the hanging basket after they had completed the tasks assigned by the chief.

The two men took off their hats and pulled their hair one by one, and found that most of the killed people had money rat tails, and they had short knives, daggers, and hatchets in their arms. They simply took the axes and chopped off the heads with money rat tails.

Song Pengfei saw that the two men's nerves were so thick that they dared to cut off the head of the Empress Jin army, and he thought of keeping these two men as soldiers.

He ordered in a loud voice: "You two strong men search carefully to see if there is a belt card of Jiannu Jiabing. You must take the belt card."

The two said loudly: "The little one understands, my lord, you may not know the little one, but the little one recognizes you and knows that you are Lord Song Pengfei."

Song Pengfei was surprised and said, "How do the two strong men know me?"

"We met you last month when we were carrying grain in Pisces Village. This time we came together to look for the "Red Banner Army". As soon as we went down the mountain, we encountered the army of slaves, and we were chased outside Zunhua City in a daze. "

"So that's it, what are your names! If you can prove your identity, I decided to take you in."

The two were immediately overjoyed, and a man said: "Reporting to the superior, the youngest is called Pei Yuanwu, 22 years old, from Zhangjiayu in the north of Zunhua. Pei Daneng, a small banner officer, can prove our identity by knowing the young one."

Another man said: "The youngest is Shao Juncai, 20 years old, from Zunhua Beixiaozigou Village."

These two people came to find the "Red Banner Army" in order to join the army. Who knew that they were out of luck. They just got out of the ravine and happened to catch up with the Zhenglan Banner. Follow the crowd to run to Zunhua.

I don't know if Ji Tailai got the opportunity to work for the "Red Banner Army", and also got Song Pengfei's promise to take them in.Their hands and feet were very nimble, and within a short time they harvested more than twenty heads with money rat tails and put them into the hanging basket.
