Chapter 658: Taking the City
Yang Youcai found Cheng Xiaolian and remembered something: "A few of you stay in the city, I'll tell you what to do." ”
On the other hand, the doctor who rushed to the scene was treating Geng Xianzuo, and suddenly a person ran to him: "The big thing is not good, many chaotic people have been killed." ”
"Didn't our brothers go out of the city to gather men?"
"But far water can't quench your thirst, what should I do now?"
"First take the young general back to our mansion, as long as we hold on for a moment and a half, our men and horses will arrive, and we will definitely kill those rebellious soldiers without leaving a piece of armor!"
"Okay, that's it."
It's not so easy for them to go back, those who do it are all local snakes, and when it comes to their familiarity with Jiangling City, they can play Geng Xianzuo's subordinates with their eyes closed. Besides, the people of these big families, if they don't do it, they will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and they will not leave any troubles.
In the lobby of a mansion, there were several old men, among whom there were two or three young people, but they were all very respectful and unwilling to talk too much. If there are acquaintances from Gangneung City here, they will definitely recognize these people at a glance as big families in the city that have lasted for hundreds of years.
"When the dynasty changed, several of our families were safe and sound, relying on what the ancestors said, endure for a while, but now I can't bear it, there is a vacant position here today, you all know, the Xiao family let the family destroy the door, one did not rebel, the other did not make a rebellion, just because the woman offered did not meet Geng Xianzuo's intentions, the Xiao family was destroyed."
Speaking of this, he coughed: "I'm eighty years old, my neck is buried in the loess, and I won't have a few years to live, but our family still has to survive in Gangneung, I believe that if they act like this, not only our Gangneung, but also other places will be in chaos sooner or later." Now listen to my orders. ”
Everyone stood up, and if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that the great clans in this city would get along so harmoniously.
"Each family selects three of the most promising descendants of the family, along with the family's house deeds, title deeds and family heirlooms, and sends them to the countryside, and the rest stand up to defend Gangneung City."
"Yes!" After everyone finished speaking, they all turned around and walked out, looking even neater than Geng Xianzuo's men.
The old man who gave the order laughed: "At the beginning, in order to survive, our Jiangling welcomed Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses into the city, and was criticized for such a long time, when I was only forty years old, I felt that my back was scolded by others, and after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, those bastards around us were even more scolded by the rebellious ministers and thieves in our city!" Now we have to stand up, not for anything else, this surnamed Geng can't do anything, no matter who becomes the emperor, our Jiangling is a city of loyalty, just for the sake of our descendants in the future to be able to stand up and scold Lao Tzu all these years! ”
Geng Xianzuo didn't have such good luck as Cheng Xiaolian, probably because he had done too much evil in his previous life, and he was soon surrounded by people, and after recognizing his identity, he killed all the guards around him and pulled Geng Xianzuo back.
If Geng Xianzuo is really slaughtered, Jiangling City will not be saved, and it is estimated that Geng Jingzhong, who is very angry, will definitely slaughter the city, and even if the situation is irreversible, with such a chess piece in his hand, it can also make people outside the city throw a mouse, so Geng Xianzuo cannot be killed for the time being.
While these big families came to take Geng Xianzuo, they let people control the city gate, and only when the army outside the city arrived, did they find that the city gate had been closed.
Zeng Yangxing led the soldiers out, there was no one in the barracks who spoke and counted, and no one was willing to give up power to others, at this time, it was a fatal time, and he gave his generals to others, and the credit for the battle was others, and it was difficult to bring the soldiers back.
The Geng family army under the city was divided into several groups, some people moved the ladder and began to attack the city, some said that they would wait for General Zeng to come back to make a decision, and some simply didn't even have an idea.
This originally had a total of more than 1,000 people, divided into three teams, and there were only about 300 people attacking the city, and these 300 people wanted to snatch the young general back from the hands of the big family and make this great achievement. But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, such a small number of soldiers and horses, even bandits, plus these days patronizing and robbing things, where did anyone drill the army, rushed up in a chaotic manner, and was defeated in less than a quarter of an hour.
The two thousand households who were watching coldly under the city sneered: "The loss of soldiers and horses, and the defense of the city, this sin must be counted on your head!" ”
"You guts guys, what kind of face do you have to say about me?"
"Heh, we call this judging the situation, you don't know the situation, you charge indiscriminately, and when the general comes back, you have to join you!"
"Damn, I'm fighting with you!"
"Who is afraid of whom, you look at the appearance of your subordinates one by one, even the bandits in the mountains are not as good, I really don't know how you usually lead the soldiers, is that called war? The green-skinned scoundrels on the streets are better than you! ”
The man couldn't hold back any longer, and swung his fist at the chin of the person who spoke, and the person who spoke had already been prepared, reached out to block the punch, and kicked it violently.
The soldiers on both sides saw that their generals had moved, and immediately rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward. But fighting and brawling is not counted in this profession, probably because the person who wrote the military discipline at the beginning has already understood this matter, and these people are very angry in the army, and whether they fight or not, they have to roll up their sleeves and fight, so those who fight and brawl have twenty rods. Basically, it's just a painless punishment.
The officers and men in the army were also very conscious, and they all threw their knives aside, you give me a punch, I will give you a kick, and this is very lively.
The heads of the families at the head of the city smiled when they saw it: "I haven't seen so many soldiers fighting when I grow so big." ”
"Who said no, I thought there would be a tough battle today, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of ending, it really disappointed me."
"Damn, I'm angry when I think we've been bullied by this kind of mud leg for so long, how can our family have ever suffered such anger? Brothers, do you want to go out of the city and let out a bad breath? ”
Several other people hurriedly waved their hands: "Don't you dare to come nonsense, the old lady has spoken, that is a person who has experienced Li Zicheng, he has seen a lot more than us, let's defend the city safely, and when the grinding is almost over, it is good that we can survive, but if we can't survive, we have to play our prestige!" ”
"Yes, yes, Brother Minglou is right, let's not be impulsive, if we go out now, what if they come into the city."
In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and the person who had just proposed to go out of the city covered his chest: "I'm scared to death, thanks to your wise brothers, otherwise my little life will be explained in this city today." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's all the old lady who is thoughtful."
Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by Zhu Yulang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, thank you for your support!
