Blood from Daming

Chapter 75 Rebellion
Xue Yun led Lu Yaojin and [-] troops from his headquarters straight through the southern city, and just arrived near the Kuixing Tower, and Li Xiaoyong's subordinates reported that there was a collusion between the Tartar army and the defenders in the city at the southern pass. The remnants in the army secretly opened the Yinghui Gate, and Abatai, the Jianzhou tartar, attacked Nanguan. , Yu Bazong has already rushed to Yongtai Gate.

Xue Yun's face was very ugly. He still underestimated this guy, Huang Taiji. He actually broke through several passes in my Nancheng in one fell swoop. If it was taken down, the lives of nearly [-] soldiers and civilians in Datong City would be ruined at once. Xue Yun felt cold sweat dripping down his body, and hastened to speed up his horseback riding.

Just after turning around the intersection, a group of officials including Eunuch Zhang, Datong Zhao Zhifu, Commander Wei Luo of Datong, Candidate Zhang, and Lizhi County of Datong County greeted them. Before Eunuch Zhang was about to speak, Xue Yun asked everyone to rush towards Yongtai Gate , Talking about something while walking along the way, only Eunuch Zhang looked a little reluctant, but he followed along together.

Zhao Zhifu of Datong briefly introduced the situation of the South Gate to Xue Yun: Now the South Gate has fallen and only a few sections of the city wall are still resisting, but fortunately, although Yongtai Gate once fell, it was taken back by Chief Tutu personally leading three hundred supervisors. Most of the officers and soldiers understood that Wan Decai's rebellion was to take refuge in the Tartars, and they all put down their weapons or fought back. Wan Decai was captured by his subordinates and handed over to the leader Tu.

After hearing this, Xue Yun felt a lot more at ease, and turned back to the restless Eunuch Zhang and said: "Eunuch Zhang, the battle at the north gate has basically stabilized, as long as the Yongtai Gate in the south is still in Datong City, it will be a rock, Eunuch Zhang just don't worry. "Eunuch Zhang's face softened a lot after hearing this.

Xue Yun turned sideways and said to General Zhang Shen: "General Zhang Shen will transfer all the reserve teams in your hands to me."

General Zhang Shen asked with some hesitation: "Master Xue is all of them."

Xue Yun said solemnly: "General Zhang Shen said everything I said. Datong City must be wiped out in one fell swoop to wipe out the Tartars in Nanguan. Did Zhang Shen hear clearly?" General Zhang Shen hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to transfer troops.

Immediately, soldiers from the guard came to report to the commanding envoy of the Datong Guard: After the reserve troops of the guard went to the street to control the intersection, they killed dozens of rebels who did not listen to the call. Just a quarter of an hour ago, about 300 rebels rushed When we arrived at the inner city of Yongtaimen, we happened to encounter the reinforcements of Li Bazong and Yu Bazong. Now the soldiers of the guards are blocking up the defeated skirmishers. In addition, there are two rebels fighting with the soldiers of the guards on the southern street.

Zhang Gonggong, Datong Zhao Zhifu, Datong Weiluo Commander, Datong County Lizhi County and other officials all had a bad face when they heard this. Xue Yun sneered and said: "Hey, something happened in Datong City. , Don’t you think you didn’t kill enough people last time? I was worrying about not having money to reward everyone, but I didn’t expect someone to send me money right away.” A large group of officials immediately turned their worries into joy and demanded that the rebels be severely punished. .

Xue Yun asked Lu Yaojin to come over and ask, "How many medicine packs did you bring?"

Lu Yaojin replied: "Master, I brought fifty of them, and left the remaining fifty for Xue Liu."

Xue Yun: "If you want Jin, you lead the team to open the way ahead. If you can't make it through, throw a few medicine packs there. We have to rush to Yongtai Gate as soon as possible. If we go late, the situation will change, understand." Lu Yaojin replied With a sound, he immediately led five hundred cavalry to rush to the south.

Xue Yun also ordered his own soldiers to go back to the General Military Mansion and ask Yang Zhenlei to send a team of people to Yongtai Gate with all the remaining medicine bags.At this time, General Zhang Shen led more than 1000 soldiers to catch up. Xue Yun asked General Zhang Shen to divide half of his troops to participate in the counter-insurgency battle in the guard city, and the remaining half was led by General Zhang Shen and the rest followed Xue Yun to the south gate. go.

There were several explosions of dynamite packs in front of them. When Xue Yun's horse team passed by, they saw several broken limbs and broken arms in disorder. The battle of a large number of guard soldiers to capture prisoners was over. Terrified, some couldn't stand the bloody scene and vomited.

Eunuch Zhang, the supervising army, asked suspiciously: "Master Xue, what kind of magical weapon is so powerful?"

Xue Yun replied with a smile: "Eunuch Zhang, it's just the medicine package made from the gunpowder that was confiscated from the rebel merchants a while ago. I didn't expect that it would play a big role at the critical moment."

Zhao Zhifu of Datong praised: "It is the emperor's blessing that Mr. Xue invented such a magic weapon. The people of the court are very lucky. It is not worth building a state in Mongolia. Mr. Xue has made such a great contribution and won the emperor's attention. In the future, we will continue to rise to the top. I hope you will support us a lot. "Datong Guard Commander, General Zhang, Datong County Magistrate and other officials all praised Xue Yun's merits.

When Xue Yun and the others boarded the tower of Yongtai Gate, the situation was better than expected. The main reason was that Mr. Fei Qian, who was supervising the army at the West Gate, negotiated with Mr. Wang Qian, the guard of Qingyuan Gate, and cut off the Qianjin gate on the tower of Qingyuan Gate and closed it completely. The gate of Qingyuan Gate died.Fei Qian led the troops of his headquarters and Wang Qian's 300 men took the initiative to attack Yongtai Gate from the city wall.

When Fei Qian led 700 soldiers to the tower of Yongtai Gate, Tutou led his troops to fight fiercely with the Tartar soldiers who ascended the city. The ten Tartars coincided with Liang's defending subordinate Qian Zong led [-] people from the east gate wall to reinforce and block the Tartar army coming from the Yinghui gate wall.

When Xue Yun saw Leader Tu, he was covered in blood. Xue Yun asked him if he was injured. Leader Tu smiled and said, "These are the blood of the Tartars. They didn't want to hurt our old Tumen."

Leader Tu pointed to Nanguan and said to Xue Yun, Eunuch Zhang, the governor of Datong Zhao, Commander Wei Luo of Datong, General Zhang, and the county magistrate Li of Datong County, and said: The more than 3000 people who rushed in from Nanguan to Abatai, the Tartars, There are 1000 people guarding Yinghui Gate, who should be waiting for reinforcements. The Nanguan Datong Army is now mainly guarding the city wall and waiting for reinforcements. The teams are all concentrated near the two towers of Yongfeng Gate and Yonghe Gate.

Xue Yun saw that the ground at Nanguan was basically controlled by the Tartars, and the Ming army had only some disorderly resistance. Li Xiaoyong led 500 people and Mr. Fei Qian used explosives to open the way all the way, and wiped out more than 100 Tartars who attacked the inner city of Yongfeng Gate. The officers and soldiers from the Yongfeng Gate Tower completed the join forces, and Li Xiaoyong was leading his men from the city wall to the Yonghe Gate Tower, which was being attacked by the Tazi army coming from the Yinghui Gate City Wall.

Xue Yun got a report from his subordinates that the east and west of the Tartars were rushing towards Abatai.Yu Si also imitated Li Xiaoyong's method and threw explosives into the crowd of Tatars one by one. The Tartars were not used to this new style of play, and many people were killed, and they all backed away in fear. Si took Wenchangmen in one fell swoop.

Xue Yun said to Eunuch Zhang, the prefect of Datong Zhao and other officials: "Let's go to the Wenchang Gate in front and let everyone see with their own eyes how these Tartars died today. Those who dare to invade Ming Dynasty will definitely end badly."

Xue Yun, Zhang Gonggong, Datong Zhao Zhifu and other officials came to Wenchang Gate. Lu Yaojin also wiped out the remnants of the South Gate Wengcheng to see Xue Yun. Xue Yun asked Lu Yaojin to transfer [-] cavalry to the city to face Nanguan The Tartars carried out shooting.When Yu Si used the explosives, the effect was getting worse and worse. Two fell from the tower and exploded, and one was thrown back. Fortunately, it was blocked by the soldier's shield, but a few soldiers were injured, but the other soldiers had no courage when using the explosives. Much weaker.

Yang Zhenlei rushed to the gate tower of Wenchang Gate with more than 80 explosives left in the General Military Mansion. Xue Yun ordered his men to take several feet of wood and bamboo poles, and asked Li Xiaoyong and Yu Si to tie the explosives on the wood and bamboo poles. The pointy sticks were blown up in front of the Tartars, and they were asked to occupy all the walls of Yinghui Gate as soon as possible at all costs, and shut down the Tartars in the South Pass.

When Abatai rushed into Yinghuimen, his whole body trembled with excitement, and his mood, which had been depressed for many days, improved a lot. Xue Yun, I want you to repay ten times and a hundred times the shame you have given me, and I will destroy you. All the men in Datong City killed all the women and took away all the women, and finally burned down Datong City. When thinking about these processes, Abate laughed wildly, making the people around him feel like a duck when he heard his drake-like voice. There was a layer of goosebumps.

But after entering the city, whether Abatai's good luck has run out. First, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered themselves at Yongtaimen failed to capture the city. Terrible firearms determine the outcome, and now that Wenchangmen has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, Abatai no longer has much hope in winning Datong City.

The candidate general and the more than 300 people who rebelled with him are now in a state of panic.

At that time, they heard the deafening and continuous sound of the North Gate. The rebel officers and soldiers thought that Datong City had been breached, so they started to move ahead of time. At this time, it was an hour earlier than their scheduled final time. This team is still sleepwalking, it wasn't Abatai who sent someone to inform them, and now they don't understand what's going on.

Candidate Generals and the others now see that the hope of breaking through Datong City is getting slimmer, and Candidate Generals can't help feeling annoyed that there is no hope of revenge. Over payment, mutiny, and betrayal, this time the devil Xue Yun has played too big, and he doesn't know how many people he will kill.

Li Xiaoyong and Yu Si listened to Xue Yun's suggestion, and attacked the tower of Yinghuimen from both sides of the city walls of Yinghuimen. They tied the explosives to the sharp ends of wood and bamboo poles and set them up in front of the Tartars to explode. The officers and soldiers raised their shields to block them The Tartars looked at the explosive packs brought over and had no choice but to retreat. After a while, there was only a lone stronghold left on the tower, the Yinghui Gate Tower.

Eunuch Zhang, Datong Zhao Zhifu and other officials looked happy. Those who were worried just now are now happy. This Xue Yun is really a lucky general. Datong City is really a lucky city. He has been promoted and made a fortune. , A real bountiful harvest of fame and fortune.
