Chapter 228: Capture Hong Chengchou alive

Under the escort of more than 100 elite martial arts masters, Hong Chengchou sat in a sedan chair in the courtyard of the five provincial governments. At the same time, four Gechou sat in another four identical sedan chairs. After all the people in the sedan chair got on the sedan chair, the curtains of the sedan chair were pulled up. From the outside, it was impossible to tell which sedan chair Hong Chengchou was sitting in.

As a senior official who devoted himself to making achievements for the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou can be said to cherish his life very much, especially his own life. Since Hong Chengchou was desperate and forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, while Chongzhen, who was unaware of the situation, wasted a lot of tears for Hong Chengchou, many ill-minded diehards who were ignorant of practice, wanted to get rid of Hong Chengchou. From then on, Hong Chengchou has cherished his life especially, for fear that one day he would be assassinated by some stubborn person who was not open to his eyes, would be a big loss.

In order to surrender the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou did not hesitate to shave his hair and change his clothes, and left a rat-tail braid with money. Although this hairstyle was extremely ugly, when he first shaved his hair, Hong Chengchou was in a resistant way from the bottom of his heart, but compared with his own head, the ugly hairstyle was of course important to his head, so he chose to shave his hair and change his clothes and keep his head.

It was precisely because he had a hairstyle that insulted his ancestors that Hong Chengchou worked hard to make achievements for the Qing Dynasty, hoping that the Qing Dynasty could seize the entire world and let all the Han people shave their hair and change their clothes like him. In this way, he would not feel embarrassed when he met his ancestors in a hundred years, because everyone was the same when they met their ancestors, and they were all rat tails of money.

Compared with Zu Dashou, who also surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou worked extra hard to our Qing Dynasty, while Zu Dashou only surrendered to the Qing Dynasty but did not. Wu Sangui had contributed his efforts to the Qing Dynasty, but he was forced, only Hong Chengchou worked willingly.

So, there are so many people who want the head around Hong Chengchou's neck that Hong Chengchou had to strengthen his protection.

More than a hundred Goshhas guarded the five identical sedan chairs from the Five Provinces and escorted Hong Chengchou to the Wu Sangui Army camp fifteen miles west of the city. Although these more than a hundred Goshhas were Han people, they were all selected by Hong Chengchou. They were all Liaodong veterans who had been through the battlefield for a long time. They were also guided by Cai Jiuyi, the top martial arts scholar under Hong Chengchou. They were all very skilled in martial arts. Because they were veterans of hundreds of battles, they were invincible in forming formations and fighting together.

Cai Jiuyi was the top martial arts scholar in the Chongzhen period. He followed Yuan Chonghuan to Liaodong in his early years. After Yuan Chonghuan's death, Cai Jiuyi served as Hong Chengchou's personal bodyguard. Later, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but he found an opportunity to escape from the Qing army and fled back to his hometown in Guangdong.

Each of these more than a hundred Geshihas can fight against the white-armored soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. They are good at hand-to-hand combat and archery. With the protection of more than a hundred people, if an assassin attack, even a thousand people may not be able to defeat Hong Chengchou. If there are more assassins, even more than 10,000 people will not be afraid of assassinating Hong Chengchou. These more than a hundred Geshihas are enough to last for a while. Wu Sangui's camp is ten miles away, and Guanning Iron Cavalry can arrive with a cup of tea.

So, with more than a hundred Gushha guards, Hong Chengchou can be said to be very safe along the way, unless Wu Sangui wants to kill him. But will Wu Sangui rebel? Hong Chengchou knows Wu Sangui's character, and he doesn't dare to borrow a hundred courage!

Hong Chengchou sat in the shaking sedan chair, thinking about the plan to suppress the thieves: the thieves have been attacked from both sides, and Zhang Xianzhong from Sichuan is not in the way of dealing with Li Chuang. As long as the appropriate time is to add fire to them, the thieves and the thieves will fight themselves. Then, through his old friends, he will take the opportunity to send troops to wipe out the thieves. As long as the thieves are destroyed, the Qing Dynasty can drink horses and the Yangtze River. With the cowardice of the southerners, how can they stop hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Qing Dynasty?

Just as Hong Chengchou was thinking about his next plan, a noise suddenly sounded outside. Hong Chengchou sat in the sedan chair motionless, and did not even open the curtain to see what was going on outside, because he could not reveal where he was in the sedan chair. If he exposed his position, if there was an assassin in ambush nearby, he could shoot him from a distance with a powerful crossbow such as a three-bow bed crossbow.

Although Hong Chengchou did not open the curtain to see what was going on outside, nor did he get off the car, his years of military career made him very good at hearing. Hong Chengchou could hear what was going on. There was a guy with no eyes outside who was shocked, and the carriage crashed into his team and had an argument with his own Goshha.

Before Hong Chengchou could come back to his senses, a series of deafening explosions suddenly sounded outside. With the violent explosions, Hong Chengchou's sedan was also overturned to the ground.

The lingering sound of the explosion "bang bang bang" had not yet dissipated, and the sound of a bean-like gun sounded again. Hong Chengchou, who was thrown to the point of being confused, listened to the dense sound of guns. At least one hundred and twenty people were firing the guns in three-stage attacks. The gun sound was as tight as the sound, continuous.

Hearing the sound of fire from muskets one after another, Hong Chengchou secretly complained in his heart: "It's over! No matter how good the martial arts of those under his command are, they are not the opponent of muskets! I didn't expect that the assassin could stop so many musketmen from ambushing him! What did the local government in Luoyang and Wu Sangui nearby do for dinner? He actually made such a large number of thieves lurking nearby without any sense?"

According to Hong Chengchou's idea, there are at least 300 thieves with more than 100 musketeers. However, even more than 100 musketeers and more than 20 hand-to-hand combat soldiers, his more than 100 Goshha can handle it. Although the power of the musketeers is great, it is not accurate to attack. More than 100 musketeers shoot in volleys, and at most more than 20 people are killed and injured. The remaining eighty people only have some people to shoot arrows, and the other ones lean up to fight in close combat. Didn't the 300 thieves kill all like standing melons and cutting vegetables?

However, when Hong Chengchou climbed out of the sedan chair on the ground, he was frightened to see that his sedan chair was covered with corpses, all of which were wearing Qing army clothes. The musketeers were still ringing. Several big men were rushing thirty steps away. Each big man held a short musket in his hands. As soon as he raised his hand, he heard the sound of the gun. Whenever the gun sounded, a Geshha fell down.

From hearing the sound to all Goshha beside Hong Chengchou being shot dead, in just thirty breaths, Wang Quan and his nineteen Falcon players threw thunder when they drove a carriage to Hong Chengchou's team. After a series of explosions, the dense formation of Goshha of the Qing army became very evacuated. Then twenty Falcon players rushed into the Qing army's crowd. Each Falcon player fired his left and right, with a self-generated tiger-winged short gun in one hand, pulling the trigger and then pulling the hammer.

The short rifled gun can point and hit it within thirty steps. Wang Quan and his team shot perfectly. The Qing army Geshiha, who was blown up by the thunder, was shot dead by them in a blink of an eye.

Wang Quan walked to a sedan chair that was overturned on the ground and saw that the guy crawling out was not Hong Chengchou. He raised his hand and shot the guy to death without hesitation, and then ran to the next sedan chair.

"Old thief Hong Chengchou! I'll see where you escape this time!" Wang Quan, who found Hong Chengchou, shouted.

Hong Chengchou and Zhang Yao opened his mouth and shouted loudly, but he saw the big man in front of him picking up a towel and covering his face. Hong Chengchou immediately felt weak all over. There was only one thought in his mind, "No, I'll take a sweat!" He lost consciousness in a short while.

When Hong Chengchou woke up again, he slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was pitch black around him. He felt that his whole body was tied up tightly. He tried hard to raise his head, but he hit a hard object. He felt that he was breathing and the air in his environment was dull, as if it was in a very narrow environment.
