The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 614
Mu Zhiqing frowned slightly when she heard the words, "This place is very close to Xingyuanli, could it be that the villains are going to rob the village?!"

Before Yale could say anything, a guard at the side first cupped his hands and said: "Young master, Fu... the master has an order, and I have to take care of you.

"We only have less than 40 people. Even though the enemy is several times stronger than bandits, swords and arrows have no eyes. If you are injured during the battle..." It turned out that it was the officer of the Dragon Guards Company sent by Zhu Linmi to protect his fiancée .

"But if you let it go, the people in the village will definitely suffer misfortune!"

The few scholars nearby learned that she might be the assistant princess, so they dared not let her take risks, but after a long while of dissuasion to no avail, then Li Xiucai had no choice but to say: "Mr. Mu, Gukang Village is only a few miles away. Anti-theft Xiangyong. Young Master, you can lead someone here to keep an eye on the villain, go to the village at high speed to ask for help, and then attack twice, you can be safe."

Yale and other guards immediately agreed, and Mu Zhiqing had no choice but to agree, telling him to go back quickly.

So Li Xiucai got on his horse, took a boy surnamed Ding, and ran towards Gukang Village together.

In order to avoid the bandits, the two of them even circled around from the west side. Unexpectedly, when they passed by the small forest, they were surprised to see several half-foot-high ropes lying across the ground!

When even people turned their backs on their backs, the two scholars fell into a mess.The "robbers" who were ambushing in the bush saw that someone was knocked down by their tripping rope, so they hurriedly sent more than a dozen people to push them to the ground.

But Li Xiucai is a hard-headed person, and he endured the pain and yelled loudly: "Under the eyes of the emperor, you dare to commit murder recklessly, which is like a rebellion! Aren't you afraid of losing your head?!"

In fact, these people were not robbers at all, but what they did was to attack the emperor. They were already extremely nervous, but when they heard the words "Son of Heaven", "rebellion", and "lose their heads", they were shocked.

The person in the lead thought that Li Xiucai and the others were spies sent by the imperial camp. He drew his sword and hacked the two of them to death, then shouted loudly to his accomplices: "Guard Zhang, it's the imperial army! I'm afraid things will be revealed... "

"Why didn't you even see the tripping rope in broad daylight?" Ya Le was complaining at the foot of the mound in the distance, but suddenly he saw that the "robber" killed someone without asking any questions, and he couldn't help but feel a sinking heart.

Then he heard the gangster shouting "Forbidden Army" and "The matter has been revealed", he immediately frowned and said to Mu Zhiqing: "My lord, there is a problem with this group..."

Seeing that Li Xiucai and Li Xiucai were killed, Mu Zhiqing was also furious in her heart, she nodded immediately and said: "It must be difficult to involve the Imperial Army."

She then said to the soldiers of the Dragon Guards: "President Gao, it is likely that the Emperor or the Empress Dowager is involved, this group of people must not be allowed to succeed! I will hide here, assuming there is no mistake, are you sure to defeat the murderer? "

Seeing her resolute attitude, the senior platoon boss nodded and said: "Then I will leave ten people to protect the young master, and I will pack up these guys and come back in a short while."

In the past, these soldiers of the Dragon Guards were not even afraid of several times the elites of Jianzhou, so they didn't pay attention to these miscellaneous troops, they were only worried about Mu Zhiqing's safety.

"It is enough to protect me with teeth, and there is no need to divide the troops in the high platoon. It must be a quick battle!"

"This... this subordinate obeys." Gao Wenrong knew the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't say any more, and led the team to take out the cotton armor from the carriage and put it on - although there was only a breastplate, it was big and heavy, and it was usually used against assassins. It is not needed, so it is hidden under the car most of the time.

Then 37 soldiers of the Dragon Guard quickly lined up on the north side of the bandits, took out the spring-wheeled short guns one after another, and under the command of their platoon, they attacked southward neatly.

Guanshi Zhang was ordered to stop the imperial camp coming from the south here, and his attention was also focused on the south side. Suddenly he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a group of cavalry had rushed three hundred paces away.

He hastily ordered to turn back to defend against the enemy, but with the training level of his subordinates, before he figured out what was going on, the spring wheel guns of the Dragon Guards had already exploded.

Although Gao Wenrong didn't lead many people, they still used the standard Dragon Guard hussars' charge tactics. Two rounds of short guns were let go, and the formation of the Mongolian servants had been pierced. After that, they drew their cavalry swords one after another. Quickly passed by, and set off a bloodbath.

Even the Jianluxiao Cavalry Battalion couldn't stand this style of play, let alone Meng Fu's thugs who had never been on the battlefield.The hundreds of people who were still alive were frightened by this group of "killing gods" in an instant, and scattered and fled in all directions, howling.Only Guanshi Zhang led a few confidants to forcefully and fired a few arrows, but they couldn't do anything to the soldiers of the Dragon Guards in fine armor.

Gao Wenrong led the team across the enemy line like a sharp knife, circled around not far away to regroup, and came back again...

In just one meal, they killed more than half of the gangsters and captured more than forty of them alive.However, because Gao Wenrong was worried that Mu Zhiqing would be injured by the rout, he didn't dare to chase too far, so more than [-] people ran away.

Yale picked out some of the captives who seemed to be the leaders, and before he tortured them, they were all recruited.It's just that Guanshi Zhang, the leader, escaped, but the thugs below didn't know the details of how to kidnap the emperor.

Mu Zhiqing was shocked when she heard Yale's report, "These guys are so bold, they dared to plot to kidnap the Holy One!"

She thought for a while, and first ordered Gao Wenrong to send someone to the vicinity of Xiaoling Mausoleum to report to the Empress Dowager, and then sent someone to Nanjing City to transfer troops, and worried that it would be too late for both sides, she suddenly remembered that Li Xiucai said just now that there is courage in Gukang Village, and immediately confronted her. Le Dao: "Hurry up and bring the people from Gukang Village, we will fortify here and stop those thieves!"
