The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 140
The result was better than expected. Zhang Yang entered Zhenzi Town with the help of several people from Cheng Yunlai. Everything went smoothly. Not only did all the troops enter the city safely, but there were also more than [-] younger brothers.

Now the number of Hou Jin's army is actually smaller than that under Zhang Yang's control. He can be said to be wise, and it is only a matter of time before he has to win Zhenzi Town.

Zhang Yang was no longer satisfied with seizing the city, he also wanted to wipe out all the Hou Jin troops stationed here. He suspected that among these Hou Jin troops were the culprits who harmed Zhangjiaji and led to the destruction of his family.

Reporting the situation here in a timely manner is the top priority, and the "Red Banner Army" waiting outside the city will not accept them at night.

Zhang Yang went out of the city to contact him personally. He told Ye Bu to take it back and report to the Patriarch that when the "Red Banner Army" cavalry raided the west gate, he must send troops to block the other three gates. The purpose of course was to ensure that no one could escape from Zhenzi Town.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang and Pan Yingyong were also dressed as servants and brought eight brothers to the team guarding the city gate. The dozen or so Hou Jin soldiers at the top of the city couldn't figure out the number of clan armed forces in Zhenzi Town, and they couldn't tell who they were. Who it is, I only recognize a few leaders.

The soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" under Zhang Yang were all wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands, closely watching the movements of Jiannu at the head of the city. Seeing that Shen Shi was approaching, farmers who had left the city and went to the fields came back one after another carrying farm tools.

At this moment, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from a distance, and a Jiannu white armor soldier who was drinking tea and eating cakes at the gate of the city gate was frightened. He hurried to the side of the city wall, leaned out of the crenel and shouted : "Enemy attack, Nikan below, listen up and close the city gate quickly."

Hearing the movement of a large group of cavalry approaching, the servants who were determined to follow Zhang Yang's rebellion were relieved, and at this moment they all looked at that Ba Yala jokingly.

Zhang Yang and the other Red Banner soldiers had been on guard for a long time, but at this moment they suddenly launched an attack, five spears and two throwing axes attacked the white-armored soldier.

The distance was too close, only a dozen or so steps away, and Jian Nu was caught off guard by two throwing spears and a throwing axe, and the blood gushed out of his mouth.

A Jiannu waistcoat exclaimed: "The Han Nikan rebelled, brothers follow me and cut them down and close the city gate."

Zhang Yang shouted: "The 'Red Banner Army' attacked and killed Jiannu, what are you waiting for, Han brothers, kill the slaves!"

Cheng Yunlai was very excited at this time, he shouted hysterically: "Brothers, the main force of slavery has already returned to Liaodong, everyone will work together to kill the Tartars to make military achievements and join the 'Red Banner Army', kill!"

The servants who had contacted in advance and the guards who didn't know the specific situation saw the body of Jiannu white armor soldier gurgling blood, and the blood rushed up immediately, and most of them shouted: "Kill the slaves! Kill those beasts!" Pulled out their weapons swarm.

Swords and blood were seen near the west gate, and more than a dozen Houjin soldiers had been hacked to pieces.

The cavalry arrived in no time, and three hundred "Red Banner Army" knights rushed directly into the city. At this time, the city was already fighting. It was the golden army after the siege of three or four groups of servants. Basically, they were in a gang fight state. .

Zhang Yang had already led his brothers to follow Cheng Yun to the former county magistrate's office in the center of the town, where lived Jiannu Bashiku, the leader of the Jin army stationed in Zhenzi Town.

The people in Zhenzi Town discovered the clues and realized that it was the Ming army who seized the city and killed the Jin army. They picked up hoes, rakes, shovels and other agricultural tools and waved them to beat the dogs in the water.

In a short while, the situation of the battle became one-sided. The Hou Jin army fled like rats crossing the street. Behind them were hundreds of excited ordinary people waving all kinds of farm tools and chasing after them.

This is the territory of the Han people, where can the Jurchen bastards escape?More than ten thousand Han people shouted and killed them, and soon wiped them all out.

Since each city gate had three general-flag "Red Banner Army" knights who went to intercept it in advance, not only did the Houjin Army fail to escape, but even the dozen or so great country gentry and their hundreds of family members who wanted to avoid the limelight and chose to flee were arrested on the spot. captured.

With the successful experience of taking Zhenzi Town lightly, Zhang Yang made persistent efforts and planned to organize dozens of people to lead them into Kaiping Town.

Although there were not many soldiers whose hometowns were near Kaiping Town in the "Red Banner Army", Cheng Yunlai, Ma Wu and some defected servants found dozens of Huijiazi from Kaiping Town. Wait for the errand of fighting and killing.

They saw the might of the "Red Banner Army" and everyone was yearning for it. They heard that if they got military exploits, they would be able to join this army with a monthly salary of more than one tael or five silver, and five dollars of real food. All of them wanted to go to Kaiping Town to make military exploits .

That night Zhang Yang discussed with the 57 people who voluntarily went to Kaiping Town to lurk, and then set off for Kaiping early the next morning.

It is a place where small coal mines gather. Although the city is relatively strong, it is not as orderly as Zhenzi Town. Zhang Yang, Cheng Yunlai, Ma Wu, Pan Yingyong and others easily mixed into the town.

This time, the Kaiping Town Huijiazi brought more brothers and sisters from the same school to turn against the water, with a total of more than 100 people.

A Centurion of Tartars was stationed here. I don't know whether it was because of the casualties or some of the Tartars sent back the stolen property. This centurion, including the centurion, only had 64 horses.

In the afternoon, the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" came again and once again got a whole town.

In order for Huang Han to put his father in charge, the commander in chief of the two raids was Huang Yizhou. Many knights of the "Red Banner Army" saw the patriarch's father for the first time.

Huang Yizhou lived up to everyone's expectations. When he rode his horse and charged with a red-tasseled gun in his hand, his combat skills and riding skills had surpassed more than half of the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army".

When capturing Zhenzi Town, Huang Yizhou caught up with several Jiannu armored men who were fleeing on horseback, got the chance to kill the enemy face to face, and stabbed to death a armored man who had been shot with three feathered arrows with his red tasseled spear.

In the battle to win Kaiping Town, Huang Yizhou's cavalry and archery shined again, shooting and killing one member of the Tartar soldiers and one bannerman.

Huang Yizhou won the two battles not only because of his proficiency in bowing horses, but also because the Hanzi, Wang Zhicheng, Yang Hanwei and other people who followed the old Patriarch like stars and moons and were ready to provide protection at any time intentionally Of.

Two or three hundred cavalrymen of the "Red Banner Army" spotted a few Jian slaves fleeing in a hurry from Zhenzi Town. When Huang Yizhou clapped horses and danced guns and launched a pursuit, the soldiers followed closely.

But no one was stealing the spotlight, the second commander, Hanzi, waited until he saw that the armor that had already been hit by his uncle's arrows was pierced by the red-tasseled spear before killing other enemies.

Huang Yizhou is Hanzi's uncle and mentor, and also the benefactor who brought him up. In Hanzi's heart, besides his old mother, Uncle Huang ranks second.

Of course, he would not care about any credit if he was lucky enough to fight with his mentor. Ensuring his uncle's safety is the most important thing. It is entirely possible to help his uncle kill the enemy with his own hands!

The fool did it, and he felt honored to see the radiant Huang Yizhou holding the head of the Jin army several levels he had cut off by himself to accept the cheers of the soldiers and civilians.
