Chapter 132 How can I not resist? !

East of Ruyang City.

Although Wen Shiyi was not knowledgeable in military affairs, after learning that the East City Gate had been captured by the enemy, he quickly gathered more than 300 rural soldiers and dozens of government officials from nearby, preparing to rely on houses and streets to intercept the enemies who entered the city. .

He felt that as long as Fu Ruwei brought more troops and horses to support him, he might be able to drive the enemy out of the city.

In order to boost morale, Wen Shiyi took a pair of swords and charged forward personally.

However, it is said that He Lianyue led [-] soldiers of the Shengjie Battalion and used grenades to attack and capture the Wengcheng at the east gate. Then he picked up the weapons left by the Ming army and defended the Wengcheng.

Outside the city, the third regiment, under the command of Yang Heqing, sent out all three combat battalions to attack the city, leaving only one baggage battalion and four civilian warrior battalions accompanying the army.

They also deliberately arranged for two battalions to attack the middle sections of the city walls on both sides of the city gate tower first, with the first battalion advancing behind and approaching the city gate tower.

Therefore, when the city gate was opened, the first battalion of the third regiment quickly joined forces with the Shengjie Battalion to completely control the east city gate.

The other two combat battalions pretending to attack the city wall also quickly entered the city under the cover of the enemy's squatting cannons and crossbowmen.

Yang Heqing led the baggage battalion and transferred two battalions of relatively well-trained civilian warriors to finally follow up.

As for the baggage, food and fodder of the third regiment, they were placed in the camp built yesterday, and were garrisoned by the remaining two civilian brave battalions.

Liu Sheng and the generals had already made a decision not to use the Mingyong Battalion as cannon fodder to attack the city, and not to use it as a vanguard to attack the city.

It's not that Liu Sheng is reluctant to spare the lives of the civilian warriors, but that the training time for these civilian warriors is not long after all. The shortest training period is less than ten days, and the long training period is less than half a month. It is difficult to ensure discipline.

In addition, many people are still wearing common people's clothes, and their weapons are mainly bamboo guns and wooden sticks.

If we really let these people be the vanguard to attack the city, firstly, they would be easily blocked by the Ming army, and they would be defeated and retreat to counterattack the rebel army.

Second, it is easy to disperse and turn into chaotic armies and civilians who burn, kill, and loot everywhere.

Therefore, unless the siege plan is blocked and the Mingyong are needed as supplementary troops, Liu Sheng will not abuse the Mingyong troops.

If he really did that, how different would he be from Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others who coerced the refugees into fighting?

···
The Wengcheng was still guarded by the Shengjie Battalion, which was unarmored and lacked weapons (because they entered the city in disguise).

Hu Dongliu, as the deputy of the regiment and the deputy of the first battalion, led the [-] standing troops to kill along the main street towards the government office.

After walking no more than a hundred steps, I saw a county magistrate rushing over with hundreds of rural soldiers and government officials.

The county magistrate was at the front, looking quite fierce.

But the village soldiers and government officials following him were obviously a little wretched, and they were already out of touch with the county magistrate and the few dozen who rushed quickly.

Most of the three regiments and one battalion are veterans of the standing army, and they already have their own routines for combat.

Without Hu Dongliu's specific command, a hundred crossbowmen stepped forward and fired a hail of arrows.

If the opponent is an elite person wearing heavy armor, or perhaps a sword player, this round of arrow rain will not have much lethality and will not have much impact on the battle.

It's a pity that the opposite side is full of unarmored rural soldiers and government officials.

A round of arrows rained down, and almost all of the dozens of warrior warriors who rushed to the front with the county magistrate were hit by arrows!

Even the county magistrate was hit by an arrow in the thigh and fell to the ground.

Some of the wretched rural soldiers and government officials in the back were hit by arrows, but not many.

The remaining people huddled in alleys and behind houses, and it was unclear whether they escaped or hid.

Hu Dongliu ignored those people and directly ordered: "Arrest the county magistrate!"

The county magistrate is naturally Wen Shiyi.

He struggled to sit up and wanted to kill himself with a knife, but he was a step too late and was caught by the rebel soldiers.

He struggled and yelled angrily, "Rebel! Kill me if you dare!"

Hu Dongliu frowned, waved his hand and said, "Shut his mouth!"

After Wen Shiyi's mouth was blocked, he could only make a whine.

Afterwards, Hu Dongliu escorted Wen Shiyi and continued to the front office. Before coming, the rebel army, battalion, and sentry generals had all seen the map of Ruyang City and knew where important places such as the government office and county government were.

With Wen Shiyi in hand, even if a very small number of rural soldiers and government officials wanted to resist, they did not dare to act recklessly.

Therefore, Hu Dongliu and others encountered almost no resistance from the Ming army along the way.

However, some people who were still running in panic on the streets caused some obstacles to the progress of the rebels...

After Fu Ruwei returned to the government office, at the suggestion of several staff, he finally decided to summon the officers and soldiers in the city to engage in street fighting with the enemy.

At the same time, manpower was also sent to contact Prince Chong's Mansion and the garrison generals on several other walls.

Afterwards, he led more than 200 rural soldiers and dozens of followers from the government office, preparing to take to the streets boldly.

Unexpectedly, before leaving the government office, the captain of the rural soldiers guarding the door hurriedly came to report: "Master Fu, Shen Youji came to the government office with 200 people and said he wanted to see you!"

"Shen Wandeng?" Fu Ruwei frowned upon hearing this, "Why did he come to the government office instead of killing the enemy?"

An aide next to him said: "Since the Lord of the Palace has to fight with the thieves in the streets, Shen Youji's arrival is just the right time for him to command the troops. With Shen Youji's good fighting skills, maybe he can really drive the enemy out of the city!"

"Absolutely not!" Another staff member immediately objected, "Don't forget, Your Majesty, Shen Wanteng was a rebel, and yesterday he was punished by the Master to think about his mistakes in isolation.

Now that the bandit army has entered the city, he did not go to kill the enemy, but came to the government office to ask for a meeting. It was probably because of evil intentions! "

Fu Ruwei recalled the scene when Shen Wan climbed up to confront him yesterday, and couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, we can't let him command the troops, and we can't let him in.

Isn't Wenzhi County blocking the enemy in the east of the city?Go and tell him that I ordered him to go to the east of the city to provide support as soon as possible! "

"Yes!"

The captain of the rural soldiers was ordered to deliver the message.

Outside the government office gate.

Shen Wandeng frowned after hearing the message from the captain of the rural soldiers.

He immediately said: "Don't you know, Mr. Fu? The north city wall has also been captured by the rebels. Someone must lead troops to the north of the city to stop the enemy, otherwise it will be useless to just rely on Wenzhi County to stop the enemy in the east of the city. Forget it, I will go in and personally Tell the Lord Fu"

With that said, Shen Wandeng was going to rush directly to the government office.

But he was stopped by a group of rural soldiers guarding the gate with knives.

The captain of the rural soldiers said with a bitter face: "Shen Youqi, the governor has an order. You can't enter the government office. You should go to the east of the city to support Wenzhi County."

Shen Wandeng didn't expect Fu Ruwei to be so wary of him, and couldn't help but stare in anger.

After he stepped down the steps, a captain of the servant approached and whispered: "Brother, Fu took away your military power before, and he is still so wary of us.

Now that the city has been destroyed, in my opinion, it is better to take the opportunity to rush into the government office, capture the dog officer and defect to Liu. "

Shen Wandeng remained silent for a moment, but his expression was obviously moved.He was originally a small landowner in Zhenyang County. He liked to dance with swords, guns, horseback riding and archery since he was a child. When he was young, he also liked to make friends with rangers and heroes.

A few years ago, the government imposed heavy taxes to oppress his family, and the county officials somehow refused to deal with his family and actually wanted to push his family to death.

It happened that friends of Sheng raised the flag of righteousness and occupied Yuecheng (market town) in the east of Zhenyang City. In a few days, tens of thousands of people gathered.

So he also spent his family wealth, recruited local warriors, gathered thousands of people, and went to Sheng's friends, preparing to do great things together.

When they were at their strongest, they had tens of thousands of people and besieged the town of Zhenyang County.

It's a pity that I didn't win.

Later, it was heavily encircled and suppressed by the government troops and suffered heavy losses several times.

Then Liu Xicai, another leader of the rebel army, planned to kill Sheng Zhiyou - if he hadn't run quickly when he saw the opportunity, he would have died on the spot.

After Liu Xicai took Sheng Zhiyou's head and surrendered to the government, he led the remaining rebels to fight with the government for several more months, and was finally forced to the point of despair.

Many people no longer had the will to fight, and it happened that the government wanted to surrender, so he had no choice but to surrender.

After the surrender, he was appointed as the camp commander, but most of his elite men were scattered to other military camps.

In the next two years, he worked conscientiously and made a lot of achievements by suppressing bandits. He was promoted to Chief Qian and Guerrilla successively.

More than two months ago, Wang Yingtai's defeat at Tianmu Mountain gave him an opportunity to be promoted to the rank of general.

Unexpectedly, Fu Ruwei actually promoted Cui Zhen to a guerrilla role and took charge of the Fucheng camp with him.

From then on, he knew that Fu Ruwei and other officials were probably wary of him.

I just didn’t expect to be so careful!
He seized the military power yesterday, but today he is not even allowed to enter the government office!

Thinking about it this way, it would be better to do the opposite.

Just remembering the scene when he was chased by the army and had no way to go to the sky or the ground, and considering the lack of understanding of this surname Liu, Shen Wandeng hesitated again.

He was worried that if he voted for someone named Liu, he would experience the experience of being surrounded and suppressed by heavy police forces again.

At that time, if he wanted to be surrendered by the imperial court, it might not be that easy.

When Shen Wandeng was having a hard time making a decision, Captain Ding said again: "Brother, this Ruyang City cannot be saved. If we don't surrender to Liu, or even if we escape, we will probably be punished by the court.

If this guy surnamed Liu continues to grow bigger and takes over Runing, will we have to leave our hometown and go to other places to continue to be bullied by the court officials? "

After hearing this, Shen Wandeng finally no longer hesitated.

He whispered: "Brothers, get ready. Remember, try to capture Fu Ruwei alive when you go in."

"Yes!"

Captain Ding responded excitedly and went to deliver the message.

Soon, dozens of the people brought by Shen Wandeng took out their bows and arrows and pointed them at the village soldiers in front of the gate of the government office. They fired a hail of arrows at them!
The country soldiers basically had no armor, and they were not very prepared. More than half of them were killed or injured immediately!

Immediately, Shen Wandeng led his servants and went straight to the government office to kill him.

Although his servant did not wear double armor, he at least wore a piece of cloth armor.

Several commanders and captains were wearing Zha armor and chain mail, and Shen Wandeng himself was wearing fish scale armor.

Fighting into the village soldiers is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!

More than 200 rural soldiers and more than 100 government officials were quickly killed and scattered for their lives!

Fu Ruwei was leading a few staff in the main courtyard. When he heard shouts of killing coming from outside, he realized something was wrong.

"Master Fu! Shen Wandeng has rebelled!" A member of the rural soldiers came and shouted hastily.

"He really rebelled?" Fu Ruwei murmured and slumped down on the chair.

Some of the staff members sneaked away, while others remained in the hall.

Seeing this, he said anxiously: "Master Fu, before Shen Wandeng comes in, let's escape quickly."

"Escape? Where to escape? Ruyang City is lost, and it will be a death penalty for me to escape." Fu Ruwei waved his hand, "You go, leave me alone."

When the persuading staff saw this, they could only sigh heavily and leave quickly.

After Fu Ruwei sat there for a moment or two, he felt that being caught by the rebels might end badly, so he thought of throwing himself into the backyard.

Finally, when he walked out, he saw a group of camp soldiers and servants rushing over.

"Brother, Fu Ruwei is here!"

After shouting, these servants excitedly grabbed Fu Ruwei.

When Shen Wanteng came, he glanced at Fu Ruwei and was too lazy to say anything.

Unexpectedly, Fu Ruwei spat at him.

"Thief! You really are a thief and it's hard to change!"

"My thief nature is hard to change?" Shen Wandeng was angered by Fu Ruwei's words, "I made so many contributions before I was promoted from general to guerrilla; Cui Zhengpai had no merit and was promoted just because he came from the wealthy Cui family. For guerrilla.

Yesterday, this greedy and stupid guy took away my military power and gave it to him. Today, he still doesn't believe me and has people stop me outside the government office.

Dare I ask, how can I not rebel? ! "

Fu Ruwei didn't know how to refute for a moment, but he didn't want to admit his mistake at this time, so he simply took another "poof" and almost vomited on Shen Wanteng.

When Shen Wandeng saw this murderous intention, he wanted to kill Fu Ruwei with one knife and took his head as a surrender certificate. Then he saw a battalion of soldiers rushing towards him.

"General! Many thieves are coming to the government office!"

Shen Wandeng subconsciously asked: "From which direction did it come?"

"East."

East?

It seems that Wenzhi County failed to stop the enemies who came in from the east city gate.

With a sigh, Sheng Shen Wandeng was secretly glad that he captured the government office in time.

After coming back to his senses, he said to Shi Chang who came to report the news: "Remember, you have to change your name to the rebels - go, follow me to meet the rebels outside the government office!"

After saying that, Shen Wandeng walked towards the gate of the government office first.

Dozens of servants behind him quickly escorted Fu Ruwei to follow.

 Second more.
