Chapter 144: Sacrificing one's life to lure the enemy
Nushan only stood 200 paces away from the moat.
When Chang Yongnian brought a few cronies to the front, he took a closer look at them without a blade, then dismounted and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for General Chang for a long time." ”
Chang Yongnian was very anxious about the business of the Zhujiu clan, and turned around to make a "please" action, "Lord Jialazhangjing, please lead the army into the city!" ”
This surrender and seizure of the city seems to be a good thing, but in fact the risk is not small, the southerners are cunning, there have been many Jianzhou warriors who have fallen for them and were killed, and Enushan is also extremely cautious.
"Oh, the general calls me Nushan." As he spoke, he used the only two torches to observe the expressions of Chang Yongnian and the others, and nodded secretly in his heart. He has seen not a hundred or fifty officials in the Ming Dynasty, it is Chang Yongnian's anxious, excited, and greedy appearance, it will not be wrong.
But he remained silent, and pointed to a few people under the gate of Gongli in the distance, "Let them come." ”
Seeing Chang Yongnian's greeting, Ma Zhong immediately trotted in front of Nushan with his men who opened the door. The latter motioned to a soldier beside him, "Ahuzhan, take your people in to see the situation." He motioned to Ma Zhong and the others again, "Let these people go together, don't let them get separated." ”
His implication was that he would keep an eye on these men, and if there was anything unusual in the city, he would immediately slaughter them.
"Huh!"
Ahu Zhan took seven or eight horsemen, let Ma Zhong and the others walk in front, cautiously entered the city, and looked around again, then turned around and made a gesture to Nushan and shouted a Manchu sentence.
"The last general will be faithful to take refuge, and it will be properly arranged." Chang Yongnian was busy and lost no time.
Seeing that there were indeed no defenders in the city, and more than ten people such as Chang Yongnian were hostages, Nushan finally put his mind at ease, got on his horse and waved his hand: "Order, enter the city!" Then he signaled several of his own soldiers to sandwich Chang Yongnian and the others in the middle, in case they suddenly escaped.
When hundreds of horsemen entered Changting City, they saw that the defenders had been transferred, and they didn't see half a figure when they walked out of the street.
Chang Yongnian pointed to the north side and said urgently: "Prince Nanming is in the palace, and I will lead Lord Nushan there." ”
Before Nu Shan could answer, he suddenly heard several rings in front of him, and Nu Shan exclaimed "Alert", and saw countless torches lit on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the main street at the same time, and under the firelight were a large number of soldiers armed with firearms and bows and crossbows.
Chang Yongnian's brain is flying, although he doesn't know what's going on, but most of the things have been revealed.
He was calm and calm, most of the Ming troops in this city were brought by him, and he was confident that as long as he shouted, "I am the guerrilla general Chang Yongnian, tens of thousands of people in the Qing Dynasty have broken the city, brothers don't want to give their lives in vain!" "Most of these soldiers will drop their weapons and surrender.
But at this moment, a torch suddenly lit at the end of the street in front of him, and two people appeared sitting and standing in front of the fire.
Sitting on the chair on the left side was Jiang Zhengxi, who was covered in bandages.
Isn't he seriously injured and unable to move?! Before Chang Yongnian could react, he heard Jiang Zhengxi say in a loud voice with great difficulty: "Everyone listen, swear to kill the thief, and don't leave without permission!" ”
"Obey!"
I heard the old man beside him shout: "General Chang sacrificed himself to lure the enemy, Huang admires it so much, and your family members can rest assured that they will be handed over to Huang!" The cannons on the streets are ready, and they will surely destroy all the thieves! "It's the Zodiac Week.
As soon as he finished speaking, the gate on the other side of the street had been slammed shut.
Chang Yongnian Yu Guang saw Nushan's cold eyes, and was drenched in cold sweat with fright, "My lord, don't believe that Zodiac Zhou Lao'er provoked, and the last general will really defect!" ”
On the side, Ma Zhong also hurriedly said: "There are no cannons in Changting City!" Even the tiger squat cannon was transported to the station of the general of the Water Dragon Crossing King early in the morning in accordance with the order of the Marquis of Pingyu. ”
In an instant, the sound of guns rang out, and lead bullets and arrows poured down from the surrounding residents, and immediately dozens of prisoners screamed and turned over and fell from their horses.
This team of Jianjiao is also very strong, although ambushed but not chaotic, they have bows to the roof of the Ming army to return fire, this is now the number of Ming troops is not much, for a time actually formed a short stalemate.
Nushan shouted and ordered his subordinates not to mess up, "Follow me to attack on horseback, as long as you rush into the palace and kill the prince of Nanming, the Ming army will be chaotic!" ”
Suddenly, there were several thunderous noises hundreds of steps ahead, Nu Shan's ears were buzzing, and when he looked closely, he saw a few big black holes in the distance pointing at his side, what is it not a cannon?!
The Qing army, which was still calmly counterattacking just now, immediately began to panic, in such a narrow street, the artillery didn't even need to aim, and the cannon could shoot through more than a dozen people at will, what was the point of continuing to fight?
"Didn't you say there were no cannons?!" Nu Shan glared at Chang Yongnian beside him and shouted.
Chang Yongnian was also confused, and he couldn't speak.
"Humph! Desperate for his life to trick Lao Tzu into the city? Balls! Nushan snorted coldly, and raised his hand to slash it.
Chang Yongnian's head was thrown into the air with the sword light, and those eyes saw the strange shape of the cannon in the distance from above, and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything at all.
Then there was a roar of artillery, and this terrifying artillery fire made the Qing army even more confused, and people continued to scream and die, and I don't know whether they were hit by cannons or died from firearms and crossbows.
Nushan knew that if he didn't find a way, he would definitely die, so he desperately ordered his henchmen to rush towards the street entrance together, in a vain attempt to make a bloody way out of the ambush circle. The other cavalry of the Qing army, driven by the habit of fighting all year round, also followed.
At this moment, the city gate behind Jian Yu was wide open again, and the cavalry who had just rushed out a few steps all looked back and began to hesitate whether to rush forward with Jia Lazhangjing or take the opportunity to withdraw from the city.
Immediately, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside the city, and a group of people in dark green military uniforms appeared at the gate of the city, in a neat queue and in unison.
Zheng Chenggong was at the forefront of the team, brandishing his saber and rushing forward first. Behind him, the cavalry followed, first firing a row of guns to knock out the Qing troops who were trying to exit the city, and then drawing their swords from their waists.
Nu Shan turned around and saw the cavalry of the Ming army rushing in, knowing that the general trend had gone, his blood-red eyes looked at the cannons in the distance, gritted his teeth and shouted to his henchmen: "Follow me to grab those cannons, and you can smash these Nikans behind you!" ”
Several cavalrymen immediately protected him, and rushed desperately to the Ming artillery position with fire guns and arrows, and when they got closer, there were less than ten people left around Nushan.
Nushan turned over and dismounted, and the Ming gunners immediately ran away in fright. Nushan took a torch and was about to beckon his men to reload their ammunition, but now something seemed wrong.
He brought the torch to the cannon, and it was only then that these were not cannons at all, just a few tree trunks lying flat.
He was discouraged, threw the torch in his hand, and turned his head to see that the Ming cavalry behind him was extremely fierce, and had killed most of the streets in a moment.
Especially the person who rushed to the front, a saber danced coldly, constantly collecting the lives of the Qing army.
