Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 380 Hou Dagou, the leader of the Yao tribe

With his strong personal force, Zhu Zhen actually jumped on the wall and opened the north gate of Yingde County.

Suddenly, the Ming army poured in, and the entire county was filled with shouts of killing.

There were also enemy defenders on the east side of the city. They heard the chaos in the city and didn't know what was going on.

Some people looked worriedly into the distance, wanting to rush to ask questions or help.

But this is the city gate. Once the east gate is lost, the Ming army may march in, and then the city wall will lose the advantageous defense.

So they can only continue to stay here in fear.

But at this moment, someone on the top of the city suddenly exclaimed: "What is that?"

Others looked outside the city and couldn't help but gasped. It turned out that at some point, a cavalry unit quietly came to the city.

Peng Yue raised his head, and under the moonlight, his eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, looking at the enemies on the city.

Li Jinglong finally woke up completely. Because it was his first time to fight with the enemy at close range on the battlefield, his whole body was trembling.

"What? Are you nervous?" Peng Yue glanced at Li Jinglong.

Li Jinglong was serious and said with a smile: "No, I'm afraid. This is my first time on the battlefield."

Peng Yue was a little surprised, but he didn't laugh at him. Instead, he comforted him: "Don't worry, it's the same for the first time on the battlefield. There's no one I'm not afraid of. I'm afraid of being killed myself, but I'm also afraid of being killed by the enemy. I know it's not shameful to be afraid, it's really shameful." , on the contrary, you don’t know how to be afraid, because if you don’t know how to be afraid, you will be arrogant and blindly arrogant. That will only cause the whole army to die together. And please rest assured, Duke Cao, Your Highness is alive, and we will take good care of you."

Li Jinglong's heart moved, and he felt warm inside.

He didn't expect Uncle Eighteen to have told Peng Yue and the others behind his back to protect him.

He originally thought that Zhu Ming had always looked down upon him, and had always remembered him for being a fool, but he didn't expect Uncle Eighteen to be so generous.

In fact, Li Jinglong thought that he was right. Zhu Zhen really looked down on him before.

But there is no way, it is impossible to let anything happen to Li Jinglong.

As a nephew, Zhu Zhen can look down on him, bully him, whatever.

But if outsiders want to harm Li Jinglong, that's not possible.

The protection of Lao Zhu's family followed Zhu Yuanzhang.

Suddenly, there was chaos on the city wall.

"who?"

"Female ghost."

"Rakshasa, she is a Rakshasa girl."

The Yao people's belief is polytheistic worship, so the Yao people believe that all things have animism and worship nature devoutly.

At the same time, the Yao people believe that there are three ghosts after death, one in the cemetery, one at home, and one in Yangzhou Shibadong.

However, since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, due to the introduction of Taoism and Buddhism into the Yao area, some people called Rakshasa Girl at this time. In fact, Rakshasa Girl should come from Buddhism.

Rakshasa is the name of the evil ghost in Buddhism, which refers to the evil ghost that eats human flesh.

But why do the Yao people in the city shout like this?

It turned out that two women, Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin, came all the way from the city to the east of the city and killed them directly after a disagreement.

I saw that Xu Miaojin was extremely accomplished in marksmanship, and his spear was like lightning. He penetrated the vital points of several Yao people in an instant, and even threw them away.

And Tang Xin was even more brave and brave, with a pair of steel whips dancing like a tiger, and a body of terrifying brute force, which would kill him even if he hit him, but he would be knocked away even if he was hit.

How could there be such a mess of words on the city wall at this time? It was really bloody and bloody.

When the other Yao people saw this scene, they were so frightened that they backed away. Some even jumped out of the city in panic.

Those who jumped into the city were lucky, and a few people even jumped outside the city.

Peng Yue and Li Jinglong were both dumbfounded and looked at each other. What's going on?

Moreover, the looks of Tang Xin and Xu Miaojin are truly unparalleled.

According to the legend, the male Rakshasa ghost is ferocious, but the female is extremely beautiful.

Looking at the appearance of the two women at this time, are they the legendary Rakshasa girls?

In the east of the city, Zhu Zhen rushed there because he had to go around the city. When he looked up, he saw that Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin had killed all the enemy troops in the city and were waving to him on the battlements.

Xu Miaojin was still very calm, while Tang Xin was breathing lightly.

The double whip is still a bit heavier, and because it has no edge or edge, it kills enemies with brute force. It takes a lot of energy to kill someone every time.

So Tang Xin was at a bit of a disadvantage.

But Tang Xin said with a rosy face: "It's so happy."

Whether it was killing Japanese pirates before or killing pirates later, it was all over in the blink of an eye.

Only then can it be considered the real battlefield, this is war.

She didn't feel tired at all, but looked towards Chengnan in the other direction and urged: "Let's take a step first."

"Wait a minute, brother is waving to us," Xu Miaojin said while shouting: "Here, here."

It was as if he was afraid that Zhu Xi wouldn't be able to see it.

Zhu Ming said angrily: "You two, come down here."

Aren't these two crazy girls afraid of encountering someone who would risk their lives to push them down? What should I do if I fall?

Moreover, the enemy troops in the city had bows and arrows. They took advantage of the darkness and Peng Yue's idea to attract the enemy troops outside the city, so they quietly killed them.

But now the city is already in chaos, and it is impossible to repeat the operation in the south of the city.

Here, Zhu Zhen came to the city gate calmly and opened the city gate as before.

Peng Yue and Li Jinglong immediately led three thousand cavalry to fight in.

Even though their team only has 3,000 people, the enemy's attention in the city has now been attracted by Niu Sheng, Hua Rong and others in the north of the city, where the main force is.

And the role of Peng Yue and Li Jinglong is not small. With the mobility of the cavalry, they can cut off the enemy's waist and abdomen horizontally when entering, and they can fight guerrillas in the city when they retreat. Their role is also not small.

At this time, Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin also came down from the top of the city.

"Why do you want us to come down here? We can help you relieve the pressure on the top of the city," Tang Xin complained, holding up the steel whip.

Zhu Ming simply took her steel whip and pulled her onto the horse, holding her in his arms.

Tang Xin softened immediately and whispered: "How can you be so polite if you let go? There are so many people watching. And this is on the battlefield."

Zhu Ming snorted coldly: "You still know that this is a battlefield? Don't you know that swords and guns have no eyes? And you didn't see the enemy holding bows and arrows during the day? If something happens to you accidentally, I won't have anywhere to cry. "

As he spoke, he patted Tang Xin's butt.

Even though Tang Xin was wearing steel armor, her pretty face suddenly turned red. She rolled her eyes at Zhu Chu, but she didn't dare to argue. Instead, she felt sweet in her heart.

"Brother, you can't favor one over the other," Xu Miaojin was unhappy, opened her hands, and let Zhu Ming carry him up.

Zhu Ming sighed secretly, old man, you should suffer a little.

In order not to favor one person over another, Zhu Zhen had no choice but to hold Xu Miaojin in his arms.

The two women were originally in good shape, but they were wearing a full set of armor at this time. Together with the big man Zhu Ming, the three of them were not only huddled together, but also weighed four to five hundred kilograms on the old horse.

The old horse suddenly neighed in protest.

I'm a horse, not a cow, and I'm not a camel. You can't use my camel goods.

Strange to say, Zhu Chu's horse is very humane, and since he followed Zhu Chu, no one can ride on its back.

This guy knows how to bite.

But whether it was Mu Qiu at the beginning, Xu Miaojin later, or Tang Xin at this time, it would not resist.

It's just that the poor old horse can't move these three people. They can't run anymore and can only move forward with difficulty.

When Zhu Chu saw that this was not possible, he immediately lifted the energy from his Dantian upwards and immediately lightened his own weight. He also lifted the two women up lightly.

This time, the old horse felt a light on its back, neighed, and ran wildly towards the south of the city pointed by Zhu Chu. At the same time, in the county government lobby.

Originally this was the county government lobby of Yingde County and the office of the county magistrate.

However, since the fall of Yingde County, the county magistrate has been strangled to death in public by the Yao leader, as well as a group of Ming army officers and soldiers defending the city.

So now this place has become the territory of the great leader of the Yao people.

At this time, listening to the constant sounds of fighting outside, the chief paced back and forth in the county government hall.

No matter what, he couldn't figure out what went wrong. Why did the Ming army suddenly enter the city?

Who opened the city gate? Could it be those Han people in the city?

However, since he entered the city, he has done nothing wrong to Qiu, the Han people, and he has been treated the same as his own people.

What's more, the people he sent to guard the gates of the four cities were members of his own clan.

Or is it that someone in the clan has fornicated with foreign enemies and betrayed themselves?

The big leader felt very anxious.

Especially the news he got was very bad. As the Ming army entered the city, his own forces were retreating steadily and were no match for the Ming army.

Some of his subordinates even came to report: "Big boss, the east city gate has also been opened, and thousands (actually three thousand, but it is impossible to find out) Ming army cavalry came in. I'm afraid the situation is over, so please make plans in advance. .”

"Is the situation over?" The big leader fell into confusion and fell on his chair.

He had just come from Lianshan, had just conquered Yangshan County, and had just occupied Yingde. He had not yet decided whether to go to Wengyuan first or go straight to Guangzhou.

"Could it be that Hua Mao, the commander of the Guangdong capital, personally led the troops?" The chief had heard of Hua Mao's reputation and thought it was Hua Mao who was commanding him, so he was caught off guard.

But the subordinate said: "I vaguely heard that someone in the Ming army shouted the name of the King of Dian."

"Is it him?" The big leader was shocked, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Who?" His subordinates were still wondering.

The big leader sighed: "The king of Dian, Zhu Chu, whose former vassal title was King of Min and later changed to King of Dian, is the king of Yunnan. Years ago, he conquered Guangnan chieftain Nong Zhenyou, who was also a chieftain of the Zhuang ethnic group. First. This incident spread to our territory in Guangxi and once aroused the dissatisfaction of the Zhuang people. But later I heard that he only punished the chief evildoers, but did not offend the Zhuang people at all, and even distributed land to the Zhuang people, which made people look forward to it. "

"Even when we rebelled, wasn't it because we heard about his deeds that we wanted to fight for our own land for the villagers and elders?"

"It's a pity that he is the king of Yunnan. It would be great if he was the king of Jingjiang in Guangxi. Damn Zhu Shouqian, he levied excessive taxes and oppressed the people, and left a lot of mess. Especially those dog officials of the Ming Dynasty, who completely ignored We know that there is a plague and malaria this year, but for the sake of our own shame, we dare not report it to the court, and even block our way of survival and prevent us from going out to survive."

"How many people died in this plague."

As the big leader spoke, his tone became excited, and he choked with tears at one point.

Lingnan, like Yunnan, is a place where miasma is rampant, especially in summer. With the influence of rain and rising temperatures, a plague suddenly broke out in Guangxi two months ago.

Originally it was still within control, but due to the inaction of the local government and the blockade of many chieftains in Guangxi, the results became more and more serious.

Moreover, there were rebellions during this period, but they were not caused by chieftains, but within the Yao people.

It turned out that the big leader was named Hou Dagou, and he was originally from Tiantou Village, Luolutong, Guiping County, Guangxi. Because his family was poor since he was a child, he made a living by making charcoal, helping, and hunting.

The King of Jingjiang he mentioned just now is Zhu Shouqian. In the ninth year of Hongwu, he set off to Guilin to become a vassal at the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion.

As a result, after Zhu Shouqian arrived in Guilin, he did not abide by the law and indulged in wanton debauchery and violence, causing hardship to the people in the vassal state.

Later, Zhu Shouqian was transferred to Yunnan by Zhu Yuanzhang and became a vassal state.

However, Zhu Shouqian returned to his old ways in Dali. He was extravagant and licentious, plundered and killed innocent people, raped and raped, and had strict government orders. Because he refused to change despite repeated admonitions, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to imprison him in Nanjing. In the 25th year of Hongwu, Zhu Shouqian died at the age of 30. One year old.

Zhu Zhen also accidentally learned of the death of his eldest nephew before.

It is reasonable for the leader Hou Dagou to say this.

Because this King of Jingjiang is indeed not a human being.

However, Hou Dagou did not rebel because of Zhu Shouqian. Instead, he heard about Zhu Chu's reform in Yunnan. After getting rid of the chieftains of various ethnic groups, he distributed land to the people and benefited the people.

In addition, Hou Dagou was naturally righteous and launched a revolutionary uprising. He himself dismissed several chieftains of his Yao people and became the so-called big leader.

However, due to the outbreak of the plague, coupled with the blockade by the Guangxi government and other Yao chieftains, it worsened and Hou Dagou had to fight his way out of Guangxi and came all the way to the hinterland of Guangdong.

Nowadays, the Yao people are also a big ethnic group. This road is the living area of ​​​​the Yao people. Hou Dagou actually pulled up an army of 100,000 people along the way.

As a result, I met Zhu Zhen here.

When he heard that the leader of the opponent's army was none other than the Dian King Zhu Chu, Hou Dagou suddenly felt relieved: "If it was him, we would not have lost unjustly. Even Silunfa was defeated, and the entire Yunnan chieftain was swept away by him. In the air, including tens of thousands of wolf soldiers led by Nong Zhenyou, they were also destroyed."

They had only 100,000 Yao warriors at their best, but Nong Zhenyou had 80,000 wolf soldiers at the beginning, and they were all cavalry.

Hou Dagou took a deep breath and said to his men: "Let everyone surrender."

"Big leader?" His subordinates were shocked. They didn't expect that he just said the name of Dian King, but the big leader gave up resistance directly?

He wanted to regret it, wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

But Hou Dagou seemed to have no will to resist anymore and said: "Since we are meeting His Royal Highness the King of Dian, we can only stop here. And if it is him, he will not make it difficult for us folks. So let everyone Surrender as soon as possible."

"But what should you do?" The subordinate looked at the big leader.

Hou Dagou smiled. Fortunately, his subordinates were more concerned and were still worried about him.

Since Hou Dagou had heard about Zhu Chu's deeds in Yunnan, how could he not know that Zhu Chu only adopted a gentle policy towards the people, but when it came to targeting chieftain families of various ethnic groups, he would rather kill the wrong one than let go. The children had to be thrown to death to avoid future troubles.

As the leader of this rebel army, Hou Dagou knew that he would never die a happy death.

But he said without a trace of hesitation: "Do you think His Highness will leave us a way to survive? If I guessed correctly, the North City Gate is just a breakthrough, the East City Gate is just a flank to attract attention, and the real killing move is the South City Gate. Gate. Do you think we still have a chance to escape? We can't fight in the battle. There is no way to retreat. Even if we run to the west gate, there is Beijiang outside the city, can we still throw ourselves into the river? Or do we want to imitate Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, who committed suicide? ?”

This is Beijiang, not Wujiang.

"Go and ask everyone to surrender, and tell His Royal Highness the King of Dian that this leader is waiting for him here. I just have something to say that I want to talk to him in person," Hou Dagou said calmly.

Knowing that he had been defeated by Zhu Zhen, he calmed down.

"Big boss," the subordinate wanted to persuade him again.

Hou Dagou stopped talking.

In fact, Hou Dagou knew that although he claimed to have 100,000 troops, they were all Yao people who came from Guangxi to Guangdong and attracted people along the way. They were just common people before.

Although they claim to be one hundred thousand, how many of them are truly good at fighting?

It's okay to fight against small counties like Yingde County, but once they encounter the truly victorious Ming army led by the King of Dian, they will be impossible to win.

Especially since the city gate was still lost, when he heard that the east city gate had also been opened, he understood that the south city gate was probably the door of death. If he dared to escape there, he would fall into a trap.

Seeing that the situation was over, he sat calmly and calmly in the lobby of the county government office, waiting quietly to meet the legendary vassal king.

Hou Dagou's guess was correct. There were also some Yao people in the city who wanted to escape from Nancheng after seeing that the situation was over.

As a result, Zhu Zhen arrived here first, and this time there was no need to consider the enemy troops on the city wall, because after Wang Fu arrived here, he directly led the guards to shoot with machine guns, killing all the enemies who dared to show up on the city wall.

Then Zhu Li opened the city gate, and Wang Fu led five thousand cavalry to fight in. Those unlucky ones encountered this god of murder and were chopped down to the ground.

Good guy, Wang Fu will kill someone with just one look from Zhu Chu. This old boy is ruthless, and sometimes even Zhu Chu feels that he is too murderous.

Is it okay to hit him in the hand?

As a result, the entire Yingde County was reduced to a battlefield, and as the Ming army took control of the three city gates and marched in, the Yao people began to retreat steadily. It cannot be said to be a total collapse, but they were unable to fight back.

Even Hou Dagou gave up resistance, knowing full well that his army of 100,000 men was fine to scare others, but he wanted to suppress Zhu Zhen, who didn't even care about Siren's army of 100,000 men?

It's better to wash up and sleep.

So as Hou Dagou ordered his men to surrender, gradually the situation in Yingde County was brought under control.

According to the final statistics, only a few of Zhu Chu's cavalry were slightly injured, and some were scratched by arrows.

Hua Rong's infantry suffered hundreds of deaths.

The Yao people suffered more than 30,000 casualties and captured more than 60,000 and nearly 70,000 prisoners.
