Nanming Engineer

Chapter 231
The fighting happened almost at the same time on all the streets in Chengdu. The Kuizhou army, which had dispersed into the city in the form of hundreds of people, kept encountering small groups of bandit troops in small groups, because they had not received any attack from the Ariake army at all. As a warning, the thieves who were arresting people could never have imagined that a large-scale Ming army would suddenly appear in the capital city in the heart of the Great Western Kingdom.

"kill!"

Li Tingyu stared at one eye, and his beard exploded like steel needles, like a crazy lion, holding a long white wax spear, he charged at the head of a side street, full of murderous aura.

The spear in his hand came out of the hole like a spirit snake, and the gun shaft with excellent toughness swayed from side to side. Every time he stabbed it, it would accurately pierce a bandit soldier's body, bringing up a cloud of blood mist, and spots of blood splashed on his white face. On the robe, like the red plums against the white snow, it is full of cruel beauty.

The white-robed soldiers behind him formed a formation of pointed spears. Dozens of spears blocked the side street less than two feet wide, like a triangular forest of guns, crushing through the waves. The Daxiliu thief blocking the way in front of him was cut into tofu residue like tofu.

Ma Wannian excitedly followed closely behind Li Tingyu, holding a long gun and rushing to the second row. The blade of the gun was dripping with blood, killing many bandits. Fang's face became redder and sweat was rolling. Nervous or excited.

While Li Tingyu was stabbing with his spear, he repeatedly used his remaining light to shine on Ma Wannian. After all, the son of the late lord and the next ambassador he had watched grow up, had never experienced such a cruel fight and was a little worried.

However, Ma Wannian's performance was beyond his expectations. This strong young man seemed to be born to be a military general. His bravery was just like his father's, and his moves were calm and powerful without panic. Wei, let Li Tingyu, who was a little worried, quickly relieved.

The thieves on the street were originally mobs, but they were no match for the well-organized and aggressive Kuizhou army. Li Tingyu killed two and five, and killed them to the other side of the side street, leaving corpses all over the ground and a stream of blood behind him.

"Mr. Ma, if you go forward from here, you will be in the inner city. Be careful, I am in the south of the city. If you encounter a large group of bandits resisting, send someone to inform me, and I will immediately lead troops to support." Li Tingyu said with blood Pointing his spear forward, he spoke with concern.

With the light of the burning houses in the city, one can see that in the night, a towering wall stands in front of it, across the entire line of sight, dark and silent, dividing the city into two. It must be the original Shu Palace and the current inner city. Walled up.

"General Li, don't worry, Wannian can handle it!" Ma Wannian replied in a vibrating voice. With a wave of his right hand, he led a centurion along the street and walked over.

Li Tingyu watched his back disappear into the darkness, and couldn't help smiling slightly, like an old man who watched his younger generation grow up, and the relief in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

He crossed his spear, pulled himself together, and led the rest of the white-robed soldiers, turned a corner on the street, and rushed south of the city.

The abnormality in the city was quickly reported to Wang Yunxing sitting at the north gate, which surprised Wang Dudu, who was holding a wine bowl and waiting for the next group of escorts to arrive.

"What? The Ming army has invaded the city?" Wang Xunxing slammed the wine bowl and roared in disbelief.

"Yes, Dudu, the Ming army is everywhere in the city now. I don't know how many people there are. They will kill our people when they see us. They are very vicious. The brothers have been killed and scattered. They can't stand it at all. Dudu, think of a way. Put it!" A few defeated soldiers with panicked faces knelt in front of him, their clothes wet with sweat and blood, and said eagerly.

"Where did the Ming army come from? How did they enter the city? Are all the people in the city fucking asleep?" Wang Xunxuan yelled in disbelief, his domineering expression just now disappeared, and he stood up suddenly.

In fact, it can’t be blamed for Wang’s incompetence. Wang Huan didn’t even notice it when he was under his nose. Without leaving Chengdu, the capital of Daxi was already a lonely city, and Wang Yunyun's soldiers did not dare to go out of the city with less than a hundred soldiers, so the news was blocked, and the people in the city could not know that thousands of Ming troops had quietly come outside.

Wang Xunxing scolded and felt that he was bored, so he hurriedly climbed up to the archery tower of the north gate, and when he looked at it from above, he felt even more chilling.

In the light of the fire, black smoke billowed everywhere in the city, and the sound of shouting and killing seemed to be heard in every corner. The cold light of the blades could be faintly seen, and the sound of fighting was everywhere. For a while, Wang Xunyun couldn't tell how many Ming troops had rushed into the city , I only felt that there were shouts of killing coming from the east, west, south, and three directions. Only the north gate that I guarded was calm for the time being.

Wang Xunyun became nervous. Zhang Xianzhong left more than 2 people for him, which sounds like a lot, but only he knew who these people were.Among the more than [-] people, there are less than [-] soldiers. The refugees who have been recruited recently account for the vast majority. These people can kill and set fire. If they are asked to go to battle to kill the enemy, they will be the first to flee and destroy the already formed army. , it is useless at all.

Hun people also have brains, Wang Xunyun rolled his eyes and immediately made up his mind.

"Quickly, gather the relatives' barracks, bring the gold and silver piled up in the north gate, and let's retreat!" He jumped down from the archery tower in a few steps, and shouted to his relatives as he ran down the city.

As a veteran thieves with deep experience, all of Wang Xunxing's cronies are well versed in the principle of mobile warfare. When the situation is not going well, it is their usual method to die. When it opened, 2000 rogue warriors followed him and gathered near the north gate. They quickly gathered together. In addition to holding weapons, each of them also carried a bag, which was obtained by arresting people and ransacking their homes today. soft.

Wang Xunyun was no exception. He had a long knife in his right hand, a step bow in his left hand, a quiver on his back, and a cloth bag full of pearls and jade on his shoulder. He stood in the north gate and counted the number of people. Run out of the city.

If you want to leave the city gate, you must pass Wengcheng. There are several layers of corpses in Wengcheng. They are all the people who were killed by the Daxi army tonight. Wang Xunyun didn't shy away from it. He stepped on the corpses all over the ground and rushed out of the city. .

While running, he suddenly felt his feet stagnate, as if something grabbed his feet.

Wang Xunxing was horrified, and thought to himself, could there be a ghost?Looking down, it was an old man who had been shot by several arrows and was lucky enough not to die. He was stretching out his hand to hold his foot, his face was covered with blood, his face was stern, and he was still yelling weakly: "Idiot, thief! Give me back my grandson!" Come on, son!"

Seeing that he was alive, Wang Yunyun heaved a sigh of relief, without blinking, he cut the old man in half with his backhand without blinking, and ran away from the door.

Wang Xunxing ran fast, but Wang Zhaolin and Yan Ximing, who stayed in the prime minister's mansion for a drink after suffering, happily got together to have a drink and celebrate while listening to the sound of crying and shouting outside. While secretly laughing, Wang Run's mind is simple.

When the cries in the city turned into a fight, the two of them didn't realize it. They listened to the singer singing a ditty, blushing from drinking, and Wang Zhaolin took out a few aphrodisiacs as if showing off. Yan Xi ordered to come together for a little bit, so as to boost the man's glory.

Before the glory was up, the servant rushed in with a white face and reported the news of the Ming army's entry into the city.

Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, the two shocked even the aphrodisiacs turned into cold sweat on the spot, dripping out one by one.

"Left Prime Minister, what should I do, what should I do?" Yan Xi ordered Fatty to sweat like rain, and with a mournful face, he lost his mind and shouted in a row: "I'll go back, pack up my belongings, and run away." Come on!"

"Slow down!" Wang Zhaolin narrowed his eyes, stopped him and said, "There is a turmoil outside. When you return to the mansion, the Ming army may have sealed off the city. Then don't even think about running away!"

"Then...then what should I do?" Yan Ximing sat down on the chair, tears were about to flow out, his family was piled with gold and silver, and there were several delicate concubine rooms, so just abandoning it was equivalent to cutting him off. Meat.

Wang Zhaolin glared and said: "Don't panic! Things haven't come to a dead end yet. Chengdu is so big that the Ming army won't be able to occupy it for a while. From the old man's point of view, the Ming army took down the city gate silently. There must be internal support, and they are elites." , just rely on Wang Yun's idiot, if we can't resist, we have to go, let's go out of the city first!"

He shouted to his servant: "Go, bring two sets of common people's clothes, and change them into the real one and the right one!"

As soon as the family member left, Yan Ximing cried in a dazed voice: "Master Zuo Xiang, just ran away like this. We have nothing, and we are only two bachelors when we run out. It would be better to die."

While taking off his clothes, Wang Zhaolin sneered and said, "Bachelor? Bingxian, why are you so confused? You forgot, what did the emperor ask us to do when he was leaving?"

Yan Ximing's eyes were red, and he looked at him bewilderedly for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "Ah, Prime Minister Zuo said... the treasure of the country?"

Wang Zhaolin took off the beaded crown on his head, tied his hair with an ordinary white scarf, and said with a sullen smile, "That's right, that's right!"

Yan Ximing trembled all over, and exclaimed: "But, we took those things, if the emperor knows..."

Wang Zhaolin interrupted him decisively, and shouted: "What emperor? He's just a top-notch thief leader! You and I will surrender and take away the treasures of the thieves, which is only right and proper!"

He grinned at the corner of his mouth and said with a sinister smile: "What's more, the Qing Dynasty broke the bandits in Hanzhong. Zhang Xianzhong is like a bereaved dog. He won't live long. What are you afraid of him?"

Yan Ximing bowed his head and thought about it, and suddenly felt that it was such a reason, he became more courageous, but said with a lot of concerns: "Okay, let's do it this way! But the treasure is huge, there are as many as a hundred boxes, and it is hidden in the inner palace. , there are eunuchs loyal to Zhang Xianzhong leading the guards of the imperial camp, we will go there, firstly it will take time, secondly, will those stubborn fools really be so easy to hand over to us?"

At this time, the family servant brought two sets of coarse cloth long gowns, Wang Zhaolin threw one set to Yan Ximing, and he put on the other one in a hurry, and said with a look on his face, "Don't worry, the old man used the excuse of the ancestral temple to reinstall it a few days ago, and sent the envoy Those eunuchs left, and then transferred the imperial camp to clean up a county town thirty miles away, telling them that all the things they robbed belonged to them, and they were so happy that the bastard robbed outside like a madman for a day. Taking advantage of this effort, the old man sent With trustworthy personnel, the treasures will be transported out, the ship will be ready, and it will be parked at Shuiguan Wharf, ready to leave at any time."

Yan Ximing's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he was overjoyed. He knelt down with a "plop", with snot and tears streaming down his face, and said: "Thank you for your support, sir. I will recreate the grace of saving lives. Ximing must always keep it in mind, and will always be willing to be a lackey under the adult's door to repay you." Thank you so much!”

Wang Zhaolin fastened the belt on the gown, stretched out his hand to help Yan Ximing up, and said softly: "Why is Bingxian doing this, get up quickly, you and I love each other as master and apprentice, of course we have to take care of each other, change clothes quickly, if it's late That's too late!"
