Chapter 286 A Long Shout

() Old Xu standing on the main gate of the west city stared wide-eyed, watching the horsemen pouring in from the avenue of the south city, filling the avenue like a black flood.As if he had settled down, the veins on his temples stretched.

"I let the enemy soldiers drive in, I am ashamed of the trust of the prince!" Old Xu murmured, "The old man has learned of Yu's kindness in his sixtieth year, and he has respected this humble body by the prince. There is nothing to repay him, only..." He Looking out to the ground nearly four feet high.

Seeing this, the commander of the standing military post next to him hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and save Mr. Xu!"

"Stop!" Old Xu suddenly yelled, stopping the sergeants who were about to come forward, and all the sergeants stood there awkwardly looking at each other.Old Xu said: "The city has been broken, and there is no need for us to fight anymore with this little force. Now hand over the command to the king, and you take the brothers to disarm. If you can survive by chance, it is better than dying without benefit. The old man will take a step ahead. !” After saying that, he jumped up, in the blood-like brilliance of the setting sun, his old body had never been so vigorous.

After a while, only a heavy muffled "bang" was heard.All the troops froze in place, at a loss, and then everyone remembered what Old Xu said just now, that the military power was transferred to the king's command, and they all paid attention to him. ..

What is the use of military power at this time?Commander Broad Face King also didn't know what to do, so he said: "My Suzaku army is invincible, and I will definitely fight back! I'm dead, and when the time comes, the Jinpao army flag will cover my body, and my children will think of me as a hero, and it will be glorious." Said Throw away the sword in your hand, and want to follow in the footsteps of the old Xu.

Unexpectedly, a voice said coldly: "You are not afraid of death, why don't you choose a good path, and kill some of his mother's backs, wouldn't it be a pleasure?"

When Commander Wang heard this, he raised his head and laughed loudly after a while, "It makes sense. If you don't mention a word, I don't think of it. Among the brothers present, there are still dozens of people on the standing army roster? Usually, the prince is fond of wine and meat. They are raised, they have money and land, and the common people who walk outside have to avoid the road, so if they don’t show some appearance today, wouldn’t they be ridiculed?”

After hearing this, all the troops agreed one after another.

Commander Wang said again: "Brothers in peasants and soldiers don't force them. If love comes or doesn't come, whoever doesn't keep up with the standing soldiers will be motherless."

"Cao guys go down the wall, beat the drums and prepare for battle!"

Many firearms in the west city were fired too frequently and were unusable. Everyone didn't have all the commanders' weapons, and most of them went down to the city with knives and short guns.Listening to the password at the gate of the west city, they lined up in three rows, waiting in full force.

Not long after, a large group of cavalry rushed over, and suddenly there was a group of sergeants in poor armor behind the city gate, but they were lined up in a very neat queue.The cavalry in front couldn't help but slow down.

A general of the army rushed forward from the side, pointed at the horse and shouted: "Officials kneel down, soldiers disarm, you can avoid death!"

The infantry on this side did not answer, and the general at the head suddenly waved his waist knife and shouted: "Attack!" The standard bearer on one side of the queue signaled an attack with a square flag, and the gong behind slammed a sound, and the troops gathered together. Shouting "Unity, Glory...", they followed the sentinel commander to advance in unison.

This scene surprised the officers and soldiers, and they didn't understand why.Walking within fifty steps, he heard a burst of shouting "Kill", the officer and general who shouted seemed to understand the situation, and immediately waved his horse and said in greeting: "Chong, shoot and kill!"

The two armies clashed on the street, like a street fight.Within dozens of steps, the cavalry rushed over quickly, and there was a sudden sound of killing, blood splashed into the air amidst the shouts, and people turned their backs on their backs.A few spearmen and cavalrymen died in the vanguard, but they penetrated the weak three-tier formation of the defenders with one wave.The horse's iron hooves following behind trampled on the fallen man, as if stepping into a puddle, the blood was soaring, the internal organs, intestines, flesh and blood were squeezed out, and some heads were directly crushed, white Huahua's brain and blood blend together.

The king's command of martial arts is quite methodical, and standing in front of him has a place to hide. He hit the spear of the first rider with the back of his sword and charged, dodged the blow, turned around without hesitation and raised the sword with both hands. Chop, right on the side of the next rider, blood spattered his face.But at this time, the cavalry rushing past left and right stabbed at the same time. Commander Wang was shot in the abdomen and back, and his body could not hold on immediately. Then a cavalry rushed forward and swung a long saber. His wounds, his eyes are also dull and slack.With a bang, he fell softly to the ground, and immediately a horse's hoof stepped on his back.

In less than a stick of incense, the standing army of the Changde garrison had been hacked and killed, and no one survived.

At this moment, suddenly a cavalry rushed over and shouted: "Strictly order the platform, strictly order the platform, you must not kill the surrendered soldiers, and those who violate it will be severely punished!"

All the troops looked sideways, but the cavalry general said calmly: "Is it a crime to fight and kill the enemy? The small group of bandits here resisted with weapons and killed and wounded many of our troops, and they did not kill prisoners. I would also like to kill prisoners." Yes, so many brothers died in Changsha, how dare we confess the culprits?"

After a while, another person came to report: "General, please prepare to open the main gate of the west city, and Futai and Marquis Wuyang will enter the city later."

The cavalry general received the military order, and called another subordinate to order: "Take someone to search the official office, bring all the officials and soldiers who surrendered, and let them kneel on the side of the road and kowtow to call you grandpa. "

"Order!"

The officials of the government office came out and surrendered early. Most of them were the officials of Changde Mansion who were loyal to Emperor Xuande before. Later, the Zhuque Army captured Changde, and they just changed their allegiance to others.

Only the civil servants in the Senate Office are the real power holders. Those left behind are all sitting in a large study room converted from a warehouse. No one has escaped. Anyway, the city is ruined and there is no place to escape.A subordinate official hurried in to pant and said: "The enemy soldiers are coming towards the official office!"

At this time Wang Yu finally broke the silence and said: "Everyone who doesn't want to surrender, there is a sword on the shelf and a white silk inside. Those who want to surrender, surrender with me."

The officials were stunned, everyone knew there was nothing they could do, but Wang Yu didn't have to say "surrender with me" so lightly?

There was only one thought in Wang Yu's mind, Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong is still enjoying the glory and wealth, I have to see with my own eyes that thing will die a bad life.

Finally someone also spoke: "Just now there is news that Mr. Xu died in the west city by jumping over the wall. He is the prince's relative and died too. If we live by idling... we are traitors on the court side, and we are traitors on the side of King Xiang." A fearless ghost with no integrity will end badly on both sides."

"What are you talking about all this time? If you feel like you've lost your life, you didn't stop me."

"The old man took a step first, colleagues take care."

Not long after, the door of the hall was kicked open, and a group of armed soldiers rushed in.Then a young general came in, inspected the surroundings coldly, and hummed: "What are you doing sitting here? Do you want us to hire a sedan chair to carry it? Get up with me and line up outside!"

The young general drove all the officials out of the study, and asked someone to put a seal on the door, declaring that there were important secrets, waiting for the Shangguan to decide.Then they escorted a group of people to the south city, only to see that the top and bottom of the city tower were occupied by officers and soldiers, and the red bird flag with a yellow background and black pattern on the tower was also taken off, and one side was thrown on the street and trampled by many people.An official suddenly fell down and cried loudly in front of the flag, and was immediately whipped by the horse soldiers on his back.

The officers, soldiers, and generals couldn’t understand those officials at all. Most of the officials in the Senate Department had no future or status at all, and they could only read and write. There is no status or dignity in society.After voting for the king of Xiang, he was treated with courtesy and respected like a national scholar, and it was obvious which side he wanted; in this world, the object of benevolence and hatred can be one's own people, and the uneven distribution of thick and thin in the world is inevitable.

Apart from the officers and soldiers on both sides of the street, many soldiers wearing custom-made gray uniforms were already kneeling, most of them were peasants and soldiers who had surrendered.All the officials were also escorted to a place near the city gate, and were asked to kneel on the side of the road, waiting for the victor to come.

People are knives, I am fish.

At this time, a general pointed at an official with a horsewhip and said, "Kowtow, call me Grandpa."

Unexpectedly, the official suddenly became furious, stood up abruptly, and scolded: "Cao you|mother, your father and I kneel, what are you going to do?"

The military general was sprayed with saliva all over his face, and he was also furious. He dropped his whip in anger, and pulled out the knife from his waist. In his anger, he didn't care about anything, and stabbed the knife into the man's stomach.Guan'er fell into a pool of blood, and the general was still not satisfied, so he spat on the corpse.

The surrounding soldiers just watched, and some laughed at the young general without malice.The commander of the cavalry didn't blame his subordinates, probably thinking of the governor's order before, he instructed the guards to drag the corpse away from the ground.

The young general was young and vigorous, was ridiculed by his colleagues, and changed to another person, asking people to call him grandpa.This time it was Wang Yu who was unlucky. Wang Yu was silent for a moment, glanced at the blood on the ground, and said, "Grandpa."

The young general put his hand to his ear, made a face and said, "What?" Wang Yu raised his voice again and shouted, "Grandpa!"

"Haha..." The young general finally cheered up, in a good mood, and waved hello to the soldiers and brothers beside him.

At this moment, a person with a local Huguang accent yelled in a long voice: "Mr. Yu, the right servant of the Ministry of War, Huguang Governor Yu, is here! Mr. Xue, the chief officer of Huguang, the governor of Wuyang Hou's five armies, is here!"

Then there was a sound of trumpets, and a group of armored cavalry cleared the way, behind them were like clouds of flags, blue and red.Hugged in the front and back, Yu Qian, wearing a red robe and a black gauze head, rode on horseback. He had a solemn face, as if hanging an iron mask, not angry but majestic; Lu, Xue Lu's expression is calm, vaguely proud, more like a person who has won a battle, not as cold as Yu Qian.

Yu Qian came slowly under the guard of the army. He quickly noticed the officials kneeling on the side of the road, and said something to the student Wang Jian with his sideways eyes.Wang Jian nodded and left the team.

That Wang Jian was originally in the Yuelu Mountain barracks, nearly half of the South Route Army was killed and injured, and the arrows and food were exhausted. He had persisted for a long time, but the rebels suddenly withdrew and fled.So Wang Jian wanted to prove the Tao but failed.
