Chapter 256 The great emperor is coming to his loyal Hefei
Hefei.
Shiyongmen.
"Hurry, come up to the city wall, and the heavens will be in trouble, and you will be born in this monster!"
Prefect Dou stood inside the city gate and howled in grief.
On the street ahead of him, the militia and Huaiyang soldiers rushed towards the city wall in chaos. The gentry who had received bad news in the city also rushed out with their servants, panic to drive away the young and strong people, transporting the reserved ammunition and other materials to the city wall...
Some people are scolding the prefect and Bi Maokang for being useless.
You should know that this means that the shells above their heads are about to fall. The shops, mansions, and beautiful gardens in the city are all destroyed by the bombardment of shells, and even themselves are likely to be killed by the shells falling above their heads. Didn’t the prefect Dou and Bi Maokang agree to fight in Dianbu? Why did they run back in the blink of an eye? This is simply a group of waste. Why can’t they fight bloody battles outside?
Of course, Prefect Dou pretended not to hear this.
So what can he do?
He was helpless too!
He had just turned Xiaoyaojin into his own private garden. Before he could enjoy life, he was about to get close to the East City Wall and would definitely be bombarded into ruins by shells.
Then, he was also full of grief and anger and rushed up to the city walls surrounded by the people. The nightmare scene could be seen on the horizon in the distance. What's even more terrifying is that they could also see the surrounding villages, where the unruly people flocked to welcome the Red Turban Army. There were also many gentry living outside the city, who were crying and running towards the city at this time, but the gates of Hefei were closed, and even the suspension bridges had risen, so they could only beg outside the city.
But begging is useless.
At this time, all city gates must be closed, not only to resist Yang Feng's attack, but also to prevent the unruly people from causing trouble in the city.
Even closing the city gate is not enough...
"Clog the city gates!"
Prefect Dou shouted resolutely.
"Brother Yan Yun, how can reinforcements come over by blocking the city gate?"
Bi Maokang stopped immediately.
They actually had reinforcements. Their strategy was that infantry attacked from Chaohu, cavalry attacked from Hefei, and then directly attacked Hezhou to lock the Yangtze River. At the same time, the main forces led by Wang Jianbin and Mei Guozhen attacked from Lujiang and Anqing respectively to encircle Wuwei Qi Jin, Bi Maokang's troops went south from Hefei, and then went out of Chaohu to join the encirclement. In the end, the three routes of siege Wuwei Qi Jin solved him in one fell swoop.
After success, he turned to the Mao Guoqi Department who attacked Chizhou.
At this time, Wang Jianbin's troops should be still in Lujiang, and it is impossible for him not to rescue Hefei. This is his logistics base.
The materials transported from the Huai River went south of Wabu Lake and then transported to Hefei by land. They were loaded here through Chaohu to transport them everywhere. Once Hefei was lost, they would not only siege Qi Jin, but the entire Huaixi battle situation would collapse. The Huaixi battle situation would collapse, and the Huaiyang would be over.
So there must be reinforcements.
Of course, it is nonsense that the reinforcements cannot enter if they block the city gate.
To be more precise, if the city gate is blocked, what should I do if I can’t run out if I need it?
Prefect Dou looked at him in grief and anger...
"Then don't block it!"
But Prefect Dou finally said.
That's right, what if you need to escape?
Although Prefect Dou is a local, it is not said that it is going to die here. Bi Maokang needs to escape, and Prefect Dou has the same!
Two guys with different ulterior motives stood on the city wall and looked outside.
The dense forest of the spear gradually became clear. In front of the dense forest of the spear were neatly arranged iron cavalry. In the middle was a striking chariot. In front of the chariot, a figure with gorgeous armor on the chariot was sitting upright, and red flags were flying above his head. The entire team was stretched as if endless. Even if you look down from above here, you can still say endless. Even if you don’t know how many there are, especially the troublemakers around you are still merging in.
150,000 is definitely more than 200,000.
Even though most of them are militia and unruly people who are rumored to the news, it is very hopeless when it reaches this order of magnitude.
And it will definitely continue to increase in the future.
The militias in the entire north and even south of the Yangtze River, and the unlucky people in Hongguang District, would all gather towards Hefei.
It was winter at this time, and I was just bored.
Soon they stopped.
Then their cannons were pushed out one by one, but these were not heavy artillery, and the militia did not have heavy artillery. These were the field artillery of the First Mixed Association, and there were countless Fran aircraft. They would definitely not be able to bombard the Hefei city walls...
"Soldiers, the bandits have no cannons, so they can't open Hefei City!"
Prefect Dou boosted morale.
Morale continued to be sluggish, and even the gentry's echoes were weak.
They did not have heavy artillery, but at least 200,000 people rushed forward. Can the 26-mile Great Wall Wall be defended by the 5,000 militia and 10,000 Huaiyang Army in the city?
Besides, there are no heavy artillery now, but is it difficult to transfer those powerful siege artillery from Nanjing? It would be easy for that thing to break the city wall, and Danyang City was blasted away by them.
Prefect Dou smiled awkwardly, and then continued to look at the opposite side.
The chariot had already driven out of the formation and soon stopped only a hundred steps away from the city wall. The Huaiyang Army gunners looked at their commander and solved it with just one shot. However, Bi Maokang just waved his hand, including Prefect Dou, and everyone knew who this was.
Although he doesn't recognize him.
But in fact, everyone knows very well that His Majesty the Emperor is true.
Shoot him to death?
Kingkill!
Besides, it would be useless to beat him to death!
Emperor Hongguang had long announced that his brother was dead, and the emperor's tablet of the Emperor of Shenzong had long been placed in Chengtian Taimiao. Killing him was meaningless. At most, it was intended to kill one puppet of Yang Feng. But the problem was that Yang Feng did not lack puppets, there was a prince in the capital, and there was a Fu King in Yanzhou. What's more, most places in the world at this time still recognized that His Majesty the Emperor of Nanjing, and killing him was a monarch for these places.
It is definitely impossible to do something like regicide, at least it cannot be done publicly. It is okay to secretly attack the emperor's black gun, but it is absolutely impossible to kill the emperor in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
His Majesty the Emperor on the chariot stood up and put on his twelve dragon robes with his 12-year-old yellow twelve chapter patterns, and then glanced at the city wall with majestic eyes.
"I am the emperor, and you are not my subjects? Why should you stop me from outside the city?"
He shouted majesticly.
There was silence on the city wall, and everyone looked at His Majesty the Emperor silently.
"Why no one answered? If you think I am not the emperor, then I will be a great rebellion. You should fire the artillery. If you think I am the emperor, you should open the door to greet you. Now you don't fire the artillery or welcome you. What is the reason? Where is Dou Ziwei? You are a Jinshi in the 17th year of Wanli. Do you remember the fashion of the palace examination?"
His Majesty the Emperor continued to shout majesticly.
Prefect Dou quickly shrank down behind the pile of arrows, for fear that the Emperor would see it. The soldiers next to him couldn't help laughing when they saw it.
"The rebels had previously spread rumors that I had been harmed by the Marquis of Liaodong, so that the local people were confused. Today I am here. Have you ever identified the authenticity? If you regard me as false, then fire the cannon. If you regard me as true, then open the door to greet me. You can see clearly."
His Majesty the Emperor shouted.
He was wearing a yellow robe and was still very majestic in front of the throne.
"I have identified it."
A sound suddenly sounded on the city wall.
Master Dou, who was lying behind the arrow pile, looked up in shock and looked at Bi Maokang beside him. He didn't understand what he meant when he came over.
The latter smiled at him, and then a short gun was added to his hand.
Then the gun hit him directly...
"What does Meng Hou want to do?"
Prefect Dou said in surprise.
"Take your head in exchange for wealth."
Bi Maokang said calmly.
Then he pulled the trigger without hesitation, and fired Mars with the rotation and friction of the spring wheel. The gunshot sounded instantly, and the bullet directly penetrated the head of Master Dou. The dead body fell down as blood spurted.
The city wall was silent for a moment...
"Take these rebels and open the city to welcome Your Majesty!"
Bi Maokang said.
The next moment, the soldiers of Huaiyang Army turned around and rushed to the stupid local gentry. The latter screamed in horror and fled one after another. The soldiers pulled the trigger without hesitation. They fell down with the gunshots, and the militia were silent. None of them dared to move, and they all watched silently there. Soon the gentry on the city wall grabbed the death, and Bi Maokang looked at the distance with a sigh, and in the distance was the figure holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
"Bi Menghou, you traitor!"
A captured gentleman cursed in grief and anger.
Bi Maokang sighed...
"Brother Han, Bi is from Huizhou, why don't you understand?"
He said.
The gentleman was speechless for a moment.
That's it!
This guy is from Huizhou, he is from She County, Huizhou. Now Huizhou has already been loyal to Nanjing. Isn’t it normal for him, a Huizhou man, to turn against him? But why are all the Huaiyang Army so obedient? Although this 10,000 army is commanded by Bi Maokang, it is actually the armed forces of those salt merchants. The officers are all confidants of salt merchants. Why do they also turn against him?
Poor he didn't know that it was because the salt merchants had already rebelled that Bi Maokang turned against him!
"Send him on the way, he is very literary. Don't keep it and write articles to scold us later."
Bi Maokang pointed at him and said.
The soldier who grabbed the man immediately drew his knife and stabbed him directly into his body with a tragic and angry look.
Bi Maokang took several major generals of the Huaiyang Army and walked off the road in the joy below, walked directly to the city gate that was being opened, then tidied up his clothes, brewed a loyal and courageous expression and walked out of the city. Put down the suspension bridge in front, and he led the generals across the suspension bridge and walked all the way to the emperor, and then knelt down and saluted...
"Bi Maokang, the son of the She County, Huizhou, welcomes the sages. The Hefei rebels have been eliminated. I would like to ask Your Majesty to go to Hefei."
He said respectfully.
