Chapter 1263: Breaking the City
Those who retreated returned to their camp, threw away their shields, then turned on their horses, drew their weapons, and stared at the gates. This couldn't help but make the rebels on the city wall nervous, and they all looked at the shields on the heads of the three people left on the sandbags in the moat.
In fact, they could only see the two huge shields, and they could not see the underside of the shields.
At this time, the eyes of all over the country are focused on this small county town in Guangdong, but most people don't know that Luo Xin has come here, they think Luo Xin is still on the way. These people all calculated and estimated that Luo Xin should stay with Hu Zongxian for a day, but they didn't expect Luo Xin to set off with Qi Jiguang that day. However, those guards and relatives of the emperor in the south always paid attention to Luo Xin's actions, and they knew that Luo Xin had arrived in Huang County.
As long as Huang County can resist Luo Xin for three days, they will have confidence. If a small county town can block Luo Xin for three days, then Luo Xin has nothing to fear. And if Luo Xin has not captured the city for three days, then at least half of the three thousand cavalry should die. When the time comes, simply the whole south will be reversed, and Luo Xin will be completely killed in the south. The Ming Dynasty has no military god Luo Xin, and when the time comes, he will go to incite Hu Zongxian to rebel, and the attack on the capital is just around the corner.
At this time, the man under the two shields took out a fire break from his bosom, pulled it out, and the fire broke out. The soldier pressed the fire fold close to a lead that hung from the boxy bag.
"Hiss ......"
The fuse was immediately ignited, and sparks erupted. The soldier lifted the bag in both hands and threw it towards the gate.
The big bag slammed to the ground, then rolled forward a few more times, slamming against the gate. At this time, the three people standing on the sandbags turned around and ran away. The rebels on the city wall looked down in amazement, they couldn't see the hole in the gate, and they didn't know what was just thrown into it.
However, it is precisely because I don't know what it is that I panic in my heart. Just as the uneasiness in their hearts was growing, they heard a loud sound like a landslide cracking in their ears.
"Boom ......"
The entire county was shaking, and the people on the city walls were shaken. The gate was torn apart by the big bag of explosives, and the gate was opened.
"Kill!" Qi Jiguang shouted and rushed to the city gate first.
"Kill!"
Qi Jiguang's 3,000 cavalry and 1,000 cavalry from the Fifth Army Battalion had already rushed towards the city gate like a torrent, and before the people on the city wall could react, they had already rushed into the city gate.
Luo Xin took Lu Daqing and Wan Daquan and they also rushed into the city gate, at this time in the county seat, there was already a shout of killing, but the people who shouted to kill were all Luo Xin's side, and those rebels were fleeing in all directions.
The infantry was not the opponent of the cavalry in the first place, not to mention, these cavalry were still Qi Jiguang's army and the cavalry of the Fifth Army Battalion!
The whole war ended very quickly, and in less than an hour, the entire county was in the hands of Luo Xin. Those rebels were concentrated in the square, Luo Xin decisively gave an order, all those with official positions were killed, those big soldiers, organized into an infantry, Luo Xin personally lectured, telling them that as long as they followed themselves to quell the rebellion, they could be punished. Of course, they can also run away. It's just that you do it at your own risk.
Run away?
Where to escape?
These people are not stupid, can they outrun the cavalry?
Not to mention......
Luo Xin also promised them that he could redeem the credit. Therefore, these people honestly followed Luo Xin the next day and set off for the county seat occupied by the next party.
The rebels in that county town had already become a mess, and they had already thought of Luo Xin very much, but they didn't expect Luo Xin to be so powerful that it only took one day......
The guards who were the first to get the news around and were still waiting, the princes of the old Zhu family, were dumbfounded. The restless hearts seemed to have been pressed the pause button suddenly, and they were no longer thinking about what Qingjun was on the side and punishing the ministers, but about how Luo Xin would deal with them.
The princes of the old Zhu family didn't have much to worry about, after all, they were just concerned about this matter, although the people from those guards had also come to look for them, and even a few people were still living in their mansions. However, as long as you kill those few, you will not be affected. Just close the door tightly and be careful.
They can do that, but the guards who are watching are different. They can also be like those princes of the old Zhu family, secretly kill the few rebels who came to contact them, and a large part of this rebellion will not affect them. However, that doesn't mean they don't have responsibility.
After all, they are guards and have the responsibility to protect the country. When those guards rebelled, the high-ranking officials of the state government ordered them to send troops to exterminate them, but they all passively resisted and refused to send troops, which is not a small responsibility.
And even if this responsibility can be eliminated, but their purpose is to resist the disarmament of the court, what will be their future fate after this incident?
Anti-or not?
On the contrary, Luo Xin is in the south, and he can destroy them at any time.
If you don't do it, are you just waiting to be laid off?
Not only are they panicked, but even those civil officials are panicked. In the area under their jurisdiction, there was a mutiny, and they attacked two county towns, and they could not effectively exterminate them, even if they put on a posture of sending troops.
But, no!
Not at all!
It's not that they don't want to, but at this time, they can no longer command the army, and they don't dare to scold the army like before, and the fear in their hearts forced them to rebel, kill them, and rebel.
So, they are also derelict in their duties.
Thinking of Luo Xin's killing of people when he was in the south for disaster relief, who knows if Luo Xin will take their heads to sacrifice the flag this time?
Especially Xu Dang, he lives in fear every day.
And in the midst of their panic, Luo Xin had already arrived at another county occupied by the rebels. Luo Xin saw that those rebels were still stationed in the county seat, and his hanging heart finally let go.
In fact, it was the best result he saw. These rebels gathered in the county seat, and Luo Xin could be annihilated in one fell swoop. If these rebels fled, broke into pieces, and crisscrossed the country in small groups, Luo Xin would need to waste a lot of energy and time if he wanted to exterminate them. After all, he had only four thousand cavalry. And if the time to destroy the rebels is delayed, it is likely that even greater incidents will erupt.
