Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 255 Collapse
There is a price to pay for everything you do!The only difference is the size of the price.

In order to attract the hasty rescue from Chen Qiyu's unit, Zhang Yong's unit under Zuo Liangyu's command really became the child who couldn't bear to be beaten by the wolf.

These army soldiers who followed Zuo Liangyu to burn, kill, loot, and finally rebelled always thought that Nanyang City was about to be taken down, and if the emperor caught it, it would mean that prosperity and wealth were in front of them.However, none of them thought that the general they trusted would sell them out.

Not long after the blocking battle started, Zhang Yong was the first to escape.As soon as the coach ran away, no matter how high his morale was, it collapsed in an instant.The sentence that the army is defeated like a mountain is the most vivid description of Zhang Yong's troops.

Zuo Liangyu, who was in ambush in Wollongong, couldn't help sighing inwardly when he saw the sight of his excellent army being chased by Chen Qiyu's troops and fleeing in disgrace.However, that was all he wanted, and then he thought that Chen Qiyu's troops were really fooled and were chasing after them fiercely. As long as they stepped into the ambush circle, they would be able to avenge their troops!

Seeing the vanguard pursued by the Ming army, the banner of the Yongwei Battalion, and the commander-in-chief of Chen Qiyu in the distance also rushing towards this side, Zuo Liangyu heaved a sigh of relief. , proudly said: "Everyone, Master Chen Qiyu who drove them to a dead end, I will escort you in front of you in a while, how about letting you all slap your face?"

When he was proud, his son Zuo Menggeng was equally high-spirited.

His father left him more than 5 horses and surrounded Nanyang. It was the first time he commanded so many horses. To be honest, he was very excited.

"What?" Zuo Menggeng stood up suddenly, and asked loudly, "The Ming army in the city really started to set fire to the corpses?"

"Yes, young commander, oil was poured from the top of the city, and it started to burn from the north gate." His personal guards quickly replied, "But there is not enough oil in the city, they are only burning the north gate now there."

When Zuo Menggeng heard it, he shouted sharply: "I really ignored my warning!"

After speaking, he immediately strode out.As soon as he stepped out of the tent of the Chinese army, he saw thick smoke rising from a distance, and even from his side, there was a faint smell of burnt carrion.

Seeing the turmoil surrounding the bandit camp, Zuo Menggeng immediately shouted sharply: "Give me the military order to let the catapult throw those corpses into the city, immediately, immediately!"

In fact, they didn't use this trick before, not because the father and son were soft-hearted and thought it would be too damaging.The real reason is that they need time to build the trebuchet.Moreover, to throw the corpse into the city, the trebuchet had to be close to the city wall.This also means that there will definitely be many catapults that will be destroyed by the defenders on the top of the city. In this way, more catapults will be needed and more time will be required to build them.

Although the ancients didn't know the principle of biochemical warfare, they knew that by doing so, the people in the city could be infected with disease, and even cause a plague to make them extinct.This is what the Mongols often did when they conquered Europe.

Now Nanyang City actually wanted to burn the corpses, Zuo Menggeng issued the military order without listening to the warning.

Afterwards, he supervised the battle from a distance, wanting to watch those dead bodies thrown into the city with his own eyes.

In front of the bandit's camp, the bandits who received the military order had to move. Some went to move the dead bodies, and some pushed the catapults.

Among them, the most dangerous to the bandits are those pushing the catapults.

Catapults are heavy and slow to push.There are cannons on the top of the city, even if you miss it once, the probability of hitting will increase as the distance advances.Once they hit the catapult, those who pushed the catapult would either die or be injured.

Beside one of the catapults being pushed, a thin man suddenly sighed and said to another person beside him, "Can we still see the sun tomorrow?"

Hearing this, the man sighed, but he still comforted him: "It's been so many times that we haven't been taken away by the King of Hades, which means that we are destined to be fine, so don't worry."

"Yeah, we were lucky, and we survived every time. It's just that the people around us have changed one after another. Are your fellow villagers still alive? Now, do you think the original choice is still right? "

It was Sun Hanqing who said this, and the person he asked was Wei Chao.

Hearing this, Wei Chao recalled the excitement he felt when he heard "Jiantian Free Fu" in his hometown, the reverence for the future when he went to Chuangwang, and the days before that old stranger ruthlessly exposed The lie of "equaling the land and exempting taxes", thinking of what he saw and heard these days, suddenly sighed, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "It is better to be a dog of peace than a troubled world!"

When the others heard this, they felt sorry for each other and stopped talking.

People like them were chosen to push the catapult, which meant that they were not valued by the gangster leaders. Only if they survived all the time, could they become old gangsters and become the subordinates valued by those gangsters.By then, you will be able to eat and drink well, and you don't have to do these dangerous things.

Sun Hanqing was silent for a while, and when he heard the sound of gunfire from the top of the city, he was not afraid, but just sighed and said: "These rotting corpses are thrown into the city, whether it is the emperor, or corrupt officials, or those innocent people The common people can die from the plague. If this kind of thing is done, they will go to the [-]th floor of hell after death. I don’t know if I can see my parents after death!”

After hearing this, Wei Chao sighed in the same way. After doing such an inhumane thing, he didn't like the thief any more.When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice, and he couldn't help raising his head and said in surprise: "The sun is on, but there is thunder, is it going to rain?"

However, after he finished speaking, he found that there were no clouds in the sky at all, only a fiery red sun hung in the blue sky.Strangely, he turned his head and looked around again, but he couldn't find any dark clouds in the sky.

At this time, the sound of the artillery on the top of the city stopped, and the city above and below the city of Nanyang fell into a short period of silence, and almost everyone stopped moving, surprised by the rolling thunder.

After a while, the thunder seemed to be getting closer.Everyone heard the direction of the sound and looked to the north.

There were also no dark clouds there, not even white clouds.However, at the end of their line of sight in the distance, they saw dust flying like an earth dragon, sweeping towards them.

"Cavalry! This is the cavalry!" Someone saw this and immediately shouted in surprise, "There must be countless cavalry to make such a big movement!"

"Yes, this is not the sound of thunder, but the sound of horseshoes!" Others also shouted in panic.

This time passed for a while, and a red line could already be faintly seen in the distance.The sound of horseshoes, like thunder rolling in, is endless.Many people even felt that the earth was shaking.

The Ming army on the top of the city cheered first.They stand taller and can see a little better.In fact, there is no need to look too clearly, because there are so many cavalry from the north, there is no doubt that they cannot be from the bandits.

Zuo Menggeng is even more aware of this point, because his father has brought all the main force of the thieves to Wollongong.On the north side, there was no cavalry deployed at all, let alone so many cavalry.

Looking at the dust covering the sky, looking at the countless figures, and hearing the sound of horseshoes knocking on the bottom of his heart, Zuo Menggeng's face turned ashen.I thought he knew, let alone him, even if the main force was here, it would definitely not be able to stop so many cavalry.What's more, the other thieves are all forced to obey his father's command.

At this time, he didn't even think about defending against these cavalry. When he saw that the horses coming from a distance were all capable soldiers of the Ming army, the fierce aura of rushing towards them scared him and ran away. To his own steed, it is important to run for his life.

The army of [-] bandits outside Nanyang City looked quite a lot, but at this moment, it looked like a military camp made of sand, and it collapsed in all directions when it was washed by the water.

No thief would dare to stay outside Nanyang City, and no thief would dare to use Mantis as a chariot.Few people could bear the might of this cavalry army charging head-on.

These rogues are of course pawns, and even because of the limited food, the rogues who originally planned to have no battle today are all starving, eating a little bit of food a day to hang their lives.Just like that, where is the combat power, not even the strength to escape.Before the [-] thieves could escape, countless cavalry troops rushed over.

Sun Hanqing suddenly stopped running, and muttered to himself: "Maybe if I die like this, maybe I can see my parents again!"

When Wei Chao heard it, he immediately gave him a hand and said, "It's better to live than to die, run quickly, if the officers and soldiers can't kill you, maybe you can survive!"

"If you die, you will die. Living is too tiring!" Sun Hanqing stopped after being pulled a few steps by him, and shook his head.

When Wei Chao heard this, he yelled at him anxiously: "Your Sun family won't carry on the family?"

"Family inheritance?" Sun Hanqing smiled bitterly when he heard this, "I still want to honor my ancestors! But, is it possible? In this world, soldiers and thieves do not separate families, and we are the fish on their knife board! What's more, we are thieves, officials, etc. If the army kills us, are we still alive?"

While he was talking, suddenly, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.Wei Chao also felt something was wrong, turned his head to look, and immediately stopped in surprise.

I saw that the imperial cavalry army that was approaching them turned out to be equipped with one man and two horses, but they did not stop, and passed directly from their periphery.It just rolled up the dust and rushed towards them.It's as if the cavalry didn't see them at all, as if they didn't exist.

"..." Wei Chao and Sun Hanqing were stunned, a little bit disbelieving what they saw, so many people, they were ignored by this cavalry army?

The defenders on the top of the city didn't seem to have thought that seeing this situation, they were 1 puzzled in their hearts. Could it be that this Ming army ignored Nanyang and just passed by?

But then, behind the cavalry with one man and two horses, more cavalry appeared. This time, it was no longer one man with two horses.

Seeing that countless cavalry soldiers ignored them, the bandits reacted after staying for a while, and many of them ran away from the path of the cavalry army.

However, at this time, a cavalry army separated from the main force, about 1000 cavalry, came straight to the city of Nanyang.

Before the cavalry arrived, the thieves in the front ran to both sides one after another, making way for a road. No one thought about fighting, nor did they think about blocking the way, saying, "I drove this mountain. Pass through here and leave money to buy the road" or something like that.They just want to escape as far as they can.

"Those who don't want to die, throw away their weapons and surrender, put their hands on their heads and squat down! Those who don't want to die..."

This cavalry army rushed to the foot of Nanyang City while shouting, but they didn't come close, because they were all rotting corpses, and the stench was suffocating.However, they had a military order, and they still shouted at the top of the city: "The emperor has an order, the Yongwei Battalion will leave the city immediately and drive to Wollongong, and the rest of the army will go out of the city to gather the surrendered thieves!"

Having heard the movement, the two commanders of the Yongwei Battalion who rushed to the top of the city just heard this decree, and they were both overjoyed.They knew that the emperor was laying out the layout outside, but they didn't know where the emperor got so many war horses and brought so many cavalry, so where could these thieves go!
The morale of the defenders immediately rose after this decree was shouted.

What they were concerned about was that the emperor had really come, but not in the city, but outside the city, and brought so many cavalry troops.With just one appearance, the thieves outside the city collapsed!
Spontaneously, the voices on the top of the city, from low to high, soon burst into cheers: "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng..."

Wei Chao and Sun Hanqing were near the cavalry army outside the city. They couldn't help being very surprised when they heard the shouts. The two of them looked inside and outside the city.Why did you run out of the city?
But this doubt was quickly put aside by them. They didn't need to throw away the ordnance, because the two of them didn't have any. the sun?"

He was wondering, Zuo Liangyu, the actual president of the thieves, was also wondering a while earlier.Because Chen Qiyu's striker stopped after chasing Taniguchi.

Could it be that they found something?Thinking so, Zuo Liangyu quickly looked at the ambush circle he had set up, and found nothing wrong!

When the other bandit leaders heard this, they gloated immediately, insulting Zuo Liangyu angrily, saying that he had lost his wife and lost his army!

Zuo Liangyu was a little annoyed, but still held on to some hope and said: "We should be waiting for the Governor to arrive before we hunt together!"

Thinking of this, he continued to wait for a while according to his temper.

However, Zuo Liangyu was disappointed again later.After Chen Qiyu's central army reached Taniguchi and joined the forward, there was still no movement.

This time, he felt that something was wrong, he couldn't wait for the rear army, could he?This is impossible!

　It should be in the last book. Some people said that the old popsicles cost one yuan each. Why did the old popsicles I ate today cost five yuan each!
