Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 137 Escape ([-])

On November [-], the security regiment failed in a decisive battle with the Tartars.In the afternoon of the same day, after expelling the rout of the security regiment, a Tartar cavalry rushed into Anlu City.Then more Tartar infantry also entered the city, and then screams and laughter rang out in every corner of the city.Every moment, countless people are killed and raped.

Because of the huge casualties in this battle, in order to boost morale, Kong Youde gave an order not to seal the sword for three days.In an instant, morale suddenly rose.Even the troops brought by Shang Kexi joined in.

It was precisely because of Kong Youde's order that some important members of the security team escaped safely from Anlu City to Yingshan.Of course, in the end, it was only those who suffered and stayed in Yingshan.

Three days later, Monk Kong Youde was delighted to enter the calm Anlu City side by side.At this time, Anlu City has become a hell on earth, with fallen corpses and objects piled up in disorder everywhere.

Seeing this scene, the old traitor Kong Youde even sighed.

"The gangsters are really evil! When my celestial army came, the bandits ran away, leaving only innocent people here to bear the wrath of my celestial army. It's really not a thing."

"That's right! I really don't know how the bandits encouraged so many foolish people to resist the imperial court. However, it is not a pity for these foolish people to die, and this is what happens when they fight against the imperial court." Shang Kexi also added.

"That's right! What brother Yuanji said is very true." Kong Youde said with a smile.

"Although the regiment bandits were wiped out, we know from the captured population that there are regiment bandits entrenched in Suizhou, Yingshan, Huang'an, Macheng, southern Nanyangfu, southern Runingfu and Guangzhou in Henan. Its momentum is not small! I wonder what countermeasure Brother Ruitu has?" Shang Kexi also said.

After pondering for a moment, Kong Youde said just now.

"Although the bandits have experienced a big defeat, they are still quite powerful at the junction of the two provinces. Although you and I have a strong combat power after joining forces, there are not many people. It would be inconvenient to divide the troops. The bandits in Hubei and our two armies The army is enough to annihilate, but it is always inconvenient for Henan to go out of the province privately. Please ask Luo Zhitai to report this matter to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to order Henan to suppress the bandits!"

After finishing speaking, Kong Youde added one more sentence: "The group bandits are very powerful, it's better to be cautious."

However, for Kong Youde's words, Shang Kexi is very disapproving.

"Brother Rui Tu's words are wrong! According to this king, bandits are only better than those mob peasant uprisings, but they are not much better! Only my king's thousands of cavalry can wipe out the bandits in Hubei!"

Hearing what Shang Kexi said, Kong Youde was secretly happy in his heart, but he said it out of his mouth.

"Yuanji can't be careless! The bandits still have some combat power."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Kong Youde's agitation, Shang Kexi became even more determined to go his own way.

"Brother Ruitu, you have suffered serious losses. It's better to rest in Anlu City for a few more days. As for the counties occupied by bandits in Hubei, I will attack them!"

After several evasions, Shang Kexi led thousands of cavalry out of the city and galloped towards Suizhou.

Kong Youde thought that the aggressive law had come into effect, so he asked Shang Kexi to gnaw at the hard stubble of the security regiment.But Shang Kexi was secretly happy. When Kong Youde fought with the gangsters, he came late. As a result, after a long battle with the gangsters, he lost his strength and morale, and was defeated by him.He also thought that the regiment's combat strength was nothing more than that, even though he saw that Kong Youde's troops suffered heavy losses, he still thought it was because there were too many green battalions among them.This time, what Shang Kexi brought was the real elite cavalry of the Han Eight Banners.In this way, since the regiment's combat power is not strong, and it is the first time that they are defeated, it is the time for them to collect military supplies, how can they easily give up such a good opportunity to others?

Although King Sanshun used to be known as the Three Mines of Liaodong under Mao Wenlong's subordinates, and they all surrendered the Tartars and were made kings, there is still competition between them.The reason for the competition is just to exchange the plundered meat for one more bone from the master, and the large tracts of land that have been conquered are just for the promotion of the official rank.Now, how can Shang Kexi be unhappy that he can get a large share of the credit from Kong Youde?
So, after speeding up the horse, it only took two hours before Shang Kexi came to Suizhou City.

It's just because it has been three days since the war, and the gate of Suizhou City is open, and it seems that there is no one in the city from a distance.

This is because after receiving Qiu Tianxing's order, Ye Su immediately collected supplies from the whole city, and then transported them to Yingshan in a wheelbarrow day and night.In order to speed up, Ye Su promised three times the salary.

After the people in Suizhou City saw the situation of the security team, how could they not know that this is the rhythm of abandoning the city?Immediately, the people of the whole city rioted.Fortunately, there were no Tartars approaching at this time, otherwise the people of the whole city would be fried, and the city would be directly attacked from the inside without guarding.

After calming down a little bit, I didn't see the Tartar soldiers and horses coming.As a result, people who had a buffer period made their own choices one after another.Some chose to flee to the countryside and return after the situation eased.Some chose to go with the security group because they were too close to the security group for fear that the Tartars would be purged when they came back; Show loyalty and send some kindness.

In this way, after Ye Su exhausted all his strength, he transported most of the supplies out, and the ones that were really inconvenient to take away could only be distributed to the villagers of various villages. Of course, there were also many regiments lurking Down, into the village.

That's why Shang Kexi saw the scene like an empty city.

It's just that Shang Kexi didn't know these things, he saw this familiar scene, and said with disdain.

"Little group of bandits, they still want to imitate Zhuge Wuhou's strategy. Don't you know that all the generals of my celestial dynasty have learned the art of war from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? The king of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has long been broken. It seems that the bandits are also at the end of their wits." gone."

"You, take a few cavalry into the city to have a look, I want to see how this group of bandits will deal with it!"

The young general who was named showed a look on his face that was about to cry, thinking: "You are a prince, you can just use your words, but you have to go to death with us little pawns! Even if you see the bandits Strategies, why don't we little pawns go to death to explore the way!"

However, although the young general thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out of his mouth.Going to explore the road is a narrow escape, but not going to explore the road is ten deaths, and it is impossible to live for a while.

With a tragic mood, the young general led a few people slowly towards the wide open city gate.They approached the city gate step by step, but there was still no movement.

Finally, the young general and others entered the city gate, only to see that the whole city was empty, there was no one there, and the ground was clean.

Feeling strange, but his courage gradually grew, the young general led the people and galloped on the street.

The sound of tick-tock tick-tock sounded on the bluestone road.

Finally, after hearing movement from the street, the originally closed door of a house was opened a crack, and then a man's head stuck out.The man looked tremblingly at the galloping cavalry, and after identifying it for a while, he realized that it was the cavalry of the Tartars.Immediately, he became happy.

The man ran out from the gate in a hurry, then knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly at the Tartar cavalry.

"But the heavenly soldiers from the imperial court have come?"
