Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 44 Chasing and Killing (1)

The backyard of the Governor's Mansion is basically in the same formation as the front yard, but the scale is much larger than the front yard.

When the backyard door opened wide, hundreds of women, children, old and young rushed out first, fleeing for their lives in all directions.Zu Hai's and Zheng Hongkui's handling methods are basically the same. After receiving the order not to ignore human lives, they also adopted the method of controlling these women, children and elders who were fleeing for their lives first, and then inspected them. Crack, crack, crack, boom, boom... There was a lot of gunfire.

At that time, the shooting range of the blunderbuss was short, and it was not fired continuously. It was too troublesome to reload the gunpowder and reload the bullet after firing a pistol. In addition, even if you had enough time to reload the gunpowder and reload But a single shot of a blunderbuss will explode after a few shots, so this kind of blunderbuss is not even as good as the "unicorn dragon" in the late Qing Dynasty, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty when cold weapons were the main weapon, this thing was already It is an advanced combat weapon, far more powerful than a bow and crossbow, second only to a red cannon.

Hold up a stick-like thing, no matter how far away you are from it, your fingers will ring and smoke will come out, no matter how strong your martial arts skills are, no matter how brave and invincible you are, you will fall to the ground and play as an egg. This thing has a great psychological deterrent effect on people. In addition, five Ten guns lined up in several rows and fired in turn, the lethality is indeed not small.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jingying soldiers formed the Shenji Battalion, also called the Firearms Battalion. Most of the equipment was these things. It is a pity that Zhu Yousong is now in the southeast. When the famous Ma Shiying was in Fengyang, he got fifty black guns to equip his soldiers, which shows his selfishness.

Gossip less, after the shooting, there were many dead and wounded, and blood flowed like a river. Dozens of women, children, old and young, including many Jin Yiwei, fell to the ground, and the imperial guards at the back door began to be chaotic.

At this time, a hundred knights rushed out.

Regardless of the small number of these 100 people, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.This may be because Ma Shiying was influenced by Guan Ning's cavalry. Guan Ning's cavalry, one of the most powerful troops in the late Ming Dynasty, originally came from Zu Dashou's government soldiers. Ma Shiying also learned a style from others in the process of leading troops. , These 100 people are good at riding and shooting. Ma Shiying selected a group of capable soldiers from Fengyang's lineage to form his personal guards, and selected these [-] soldiers from his personal guards to equip them as soldiers. Hundreds of knights are extremely powerful.

Hundreds of knights charged forward on their horses and shot arrows at Jin Yiwei. Ma Shiying and Ma Luan rode fast horses with swords in their hands and followed closely behind. Followed by their father and son were forty or fifty military guards guarding the house. teacher.

Among the [-] mansion soldiers that Ma Shiying raised, the most able to fight were not the fifty firearms soldiers, nor the hundred knights from his guard battalion, but these dozens of martial arts teachers who guarded the house.

Each of these people has some martial arts skills, and most of them are vicious desperadoes in terms of their origins, some are bandits, some are felons who have killed people in fights, and some of them are martial arts masters recruited by Ma Shiying with a lot of money. Professionals, now there is room for these people to use their talents, and the combat effectiveness of these Jinyiwei in Nanzhili is indeed a bit unbearable, so this rush to kill is like a wolf into a herd of sheep.

Now Zu Hai's command is ineffective. Because the distance is too close, the Jinyiwei's crossbowmen have also lost their effect. The entire one or two thousand Jinyiwei guarding the back door were rushed by the two hundred soldiers from the Governor's Mansion. Falling, defeated and fleeing in all directions, only hating their parents for losing two legs, many captains in Jinyi became ghosts with swords and guns while running.

Zu Hai saw that he was so frightened that he was out of his wits. He was not afraid of death. Would it be okay to let Ma Shiying and his son run away?He knew very well that the tens of thousands of Beijing soldiers in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion were all Ma Shiying's direct descendants. If the father and son went to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to make a comeback, the consequences would be unimaginable, and His Majesty's anti-rape plan that had been planned for many days would come to naught.

Therefore, Zu Hai also went all out, and rushed towards Ma Shiying and his son with only a dozen relatives around him.

Seeing that Zu Hai's eyes were red, Ma Luan charged forward with his sword in hand. He blocked Zu Hai and a dozen others by himself. Watching them save his old lady, they killed a bloody road and ran down a street.

"Traitor, this road is blocked!" Before running 50 meters, another group of brocade-clothed warriors rushed towards him. It was Lu Jiude who arrived with more than 1000 brocade-clothed guards, and stopped Ma Shiying's team and began to fight.

The two sides fought for a while, causing casualties to each other. At this time, Ma Shiying was like a boiler, and countless guards in Jinyi shouted and chased them, and there were also shadows of Zheng Hongkui and Li Guofu vaguely, "Come on, kill, don't let Ma Shiying and his son die!" Run away!" The shouts of killing shook the sky.

It turned out that the battle inside the Governor's Mansion was also very fierce. Zheng Hongkui rushed in from the front gate of the Governor's Mansion with a group of brocade-clothed warriors, chasing and killing Zhao Zhilong. Zhao Zhilong was surrounded by the Moon Gate in the yard.

Originally there were 300 people, but at this time there were 11 people left including Zhao Zhilong, the admiral of the Beijing camp. In a fight within 5 minutes, Zhao Zhilong's helpers were all beheaded by Jin Yiwei, and Zhao Zhilong was left to face Zheng Hongkui.

In just two strokes, Zheng Hongkui's big knife pierced Zhao Zhilong's abdomen, and Zhao Zhilong fell to the ground with a terrible sound.

Zheng Hongkui turned his wrist, and the knife turned around, all the bits and pieces of Zhao Zhilong's stomach slipped out, Zhao Zhilong was disemboweled, and fell down in a pool of blood.

Zheng Hongkui chopped off his head again, and Zhao Zhilong's army was completely annihilated.

Zheng Hongkui hung Zhao Zhilong's head on the horse's neck, and rushed to the backyard with his men and horses. Ma Shiying and his son had already torn a hole and ran away. Zheng Hongkui was also surprised. When they arrived, the two soldiers chased them down together.

Seeing that Ma Shiying was under attack from both sides, the number of government soldiers around him became less and less, the dozens of guns became dumb, and his son Ma Luan disappeared. No matter, as soon as the horse pulled, it got into a narrow alley.

At this time, the dozen or so people from Zu Hai were fighting fiercely with Ma Luan. Ma Luan was really good at martial arts. He held a knife against Zu Hai and the dozen or so people. I didn't even win a Ma Luan.

At this time, Zheng Hongkui rushed up with his troops. Ma Luan saw that he was not good, and forced several captains in Jinyi to retreat with three swords, and stomped his feet in another direction like an arrow from the string, leaning on him. Faliso jumped up the big wall three times and two times, ran a few steps and then disappeared.

Soon Lu Jiude, Li Guofu, Zheng Hongkui and Zu Hai's men joined together, Ma Shiying and his son ran away, but none of their subordinates ran away. His wife was also captured alive.

"Chasing! If you run away from Ma's father and son, our family wants your heads!"

Lu Jiude and Li Guofu's screams sounded like chickens, and Zheng Hongkui and Zu Hai led a large number of Jin Yiwei to chase them down.
