Chapter 268 Zhu Youlang Jinchan Escapes
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Jixiang shouted anxiously: "Come back and save people!"
However, none of the mobs in front listened to him. They only care about running for their own lives and threw Ma Jixiang and more than 300 royal palace guards to Wang Quan and others.
In the blink of an eye, all the Jinyiwei in the Prince Gui's Mansion were killed.
Wang Quan walked forward, stepped on Ma Jixiang's back who was trying to stand up, and stepped on him in the soil.
"Bah, are you also Jinyiwei?" Wang Quan sneered, "We are the real Jinyiwei, and you are worthy of it?"
Ma Jixiang shouted anxiously: "I have been in the military chief as early as the reign of Emperor Chongzhen! I am the Jinyiwei enthroned by the late emperor, so you and other rebels dare to act rashly!"
"Since he is the Jinyiwei, why don't he serve His Majesty in Nanjing, but come to Guilin to participate in the rebellion of King Gui Wanglu?" Wang Quan asked sternly.
Ma Jixiang shouted with a fierce stern outside and weak roar: "The thieves captured Yanjing. Our brothers finally fled Yanjing. They went south to Nanjing to serve His Majesty Hongguang. However, the thieves pretended to be the prince to rebel and rebel and seized the throne. Our brothers were dissatisfied, so they fled Nanjing and went to Guilin to join His Highness Gui! "
Wang Quan turned his head and shouted: "Bind it, take it away!"
Several Jinyiwei went forward without taking it at night, tied Ma Jixiang into rice dumplings, then cut down some branches and bamboo to make a simple stretcher, put Ma Jixiang, who was seriously injured, on the stretcher, and carried it down the mountain.
Wang Quan and his friends took Ma Jixiang down the mountain when they saw Zhao Peng, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng arrived.
"The humble rank is fulfilled and captured Ma Jixiang, the commander of the fake Jinyiwei!" Wang Quan stepped forward and knelt on one knee to salute Zhao Peng.
Zhao Peng walked to Ma Jixiang's stretcher and sneered: "Ma Jixiang, the commander of the pseudo-Embroidered Uniform Guard, right? Open your eyes and take a look. This Hou is the real commander of the Jinyiwei!"
Ma Jixiang shouted: "Brother! I was already the Chief Minister of the Jinyiwei in the tenth year of Chongzhen. When the capital was lost in the 17th year of Chongzhen, you were just a small Jinyiwei lieutenant. He just cursed the princess and found a fake prince to commit rebellion. Then he climbed onto the commander of the Jinyiwei! But since the prince is a fake prince, the emperor of Nanjing today is also a fake emperor, and you, the commander of the Jinyiwei, are naturally fake!"
"Hmph, I'm still stubborn when I die! I, the commander of the Jinyiwei, are real or fake. When you arrive in Nanjing, you will know when you see Your Majesty!" Zhao Peng said with a sneer.
After resolving the rebel ambush, Ye Bubu stopped his whistle and set off again, shouldering the heavy responsibility of exploring the way forward. Zhao Peng, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng followed behind with a squadron of cavalry. At this time, the squadron of infantry also followed, following the main cavalry and heading south along the Lijiang River.
Besides, Ma Jixiang was captured, and his Jinyiwei of the King of Gui Mansion was wiped out. The fleeing mobs reported to King of Gui Zhu Youlang: "King, King, it's not good. Our ambush was discovered by the Eagle Claw Sun. They walked around the path behind and set fire to the mountain, defeated our army, and the commander of the horse was also captured alive by them."
After getting this bad news, Zhu Youlang called his personal guard over: "Let the eight thousand infantry break the rear, Gu and Lu King took more than a thousand royal guards to Liucheng first. In addition, you can find two people who look similar to Gu and Lu King."
The confidant responded, and then found two guys in the palace guards, who were of Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing, and told them that they needed to do their best to protect the prince's safety.
At one moment in the afternoon, the rebels who had been walking for a whole day stopped advancing and set up camp on the spot.
Wei Bao, the Qian General of the Guard under Zhu Youlang, personally directed these mobs, chose a narrow place in the Lijiang Valley, built a camp in the middle of the avenue to block the road, and arranged a small number of people to climb the mountain on the north side and build a small camp on the mountain to prevent the pursuers from climbing up the mountain to throw stones down the mountain.
Just when Wei Bao, Wang Sheng and other generals were busy with a group of rebel infantry, Zhu Youlang's personal eunuch Li Guotai called out the two guards who were preparing to pretend to be Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing, and let them enter Zhu Youlang's central army tent, and then let them stick their fake beards.
Zhu Youlang's confidant opened a large box, took out two sets of python robes from inside, and let the two guards wear them on their bodies. Then they put on black silver-winged crowns, and then put on jade belts around their waists. After dressing up this outfit, the two guards looked like they were fake from afar, just like Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing.
Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changyu changed into red flying fish suits, wore wingless black gauze hats, disguised as two Jinyiwei officials, and then mixed among the guards and left the central army's tent.
The camp built by the rebels was completed and the sky gradually darkened. Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing, disguised as officials of the Jinyiwei, took twenty guards of the royal palace and left the camp on the excuse of going out to hunt. Then more than a thousand two guards of the royal palace were broken into pieces and left the rebel camp one after another to chase Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing.
Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing, who had escaped from the camp in advance, hid in a bamboo forest in front of him and waited in a bamboo forest in front of him. The guards of the royal palace who had been broken into pieces arrived one after another. After the sky was completely dark, all the guards of the royal palace arrived, and Zhu Youlang ordered: "Have overnight!"
Zhu Youlang and Zhu Changqing took more than a thousand cavalry and set off torches and rushed on the official road overnight.
Besides, the two hundred Jinyiwei led by Wang Quan did not stop the whistle and chased the rebels. When they arrived in the Jipao Mountain area, they found a camp ahead that blocked their way.
"Go and see if there is a path to go around the back mountain." Wang Quan called out the guide and prepared to use the same trick again.
Then the guide took more than 200 Jinyiwei cavalry and entered a small path from the side without stopping their whistle and tried to go around the back mountain from the small path. However, he walked along the small path and found that there was a small camp of rebels on the top of the mountain, with about a thousand people stationed.
"It seems that the rebels have prepared for a long time, and we can't get around it no matter what." Wang Quan said.
The cavalrymen who did not stop at the whistle could only go down the mountain helplessly, return to the official road, and wait for Zhao Peng and his main cavalry to arrive.
It was completely dark, and Wang Quan and the others could not wait for Zhao Peng and the others to arrive, so they had to look for Zhao Peng and the others. The cavalrymen walked back after walking about ten miles before they saw Zhao Peng and the others' camp.
Zhao Peng, Ma Jinzhong and Wang Yuncheng's cavalry arrived here. It was getting late, so they set up camp on the spot. Just as they stopped moving forward and prepared to set up camp on the spot, the two thousand infantry behind also arrived. The cavalry and infantry set up camp without the help of auxiliary soldiers and prepared to spend the night here.
It was getting late, and Zhao Peng's gate of the camp was closed. Wang Quan showed his waist sign and met the command again.
The gate of the camp opened, and Wang Quan walked into the camp with Yebuyan.
"Marty, the rebels built a solid camp more than ten miles away in front of them, blocking the road. Our army could not move forward without restraining at night. The path that could be bypassed in the back mountain was blocked by the rebels. They could not pass through at all, so they could only come back to report." Wang Quandao.
Zhao Peng nodded: "You've done a good job, go down and rest first. We will attack the enemy camp tomorrow morning!"
The next morning, Zhao Peng took his personal soldiers to check the terrain.
When he arrived about three hundred steps away from the rebel camp, Zhao Peng picked up the thousand-mile mirror and looked at the rebel camp ahead. He saw that the rebel camp was located on the official road in the narrow valley, completely blocking the road to Liucheng. On one side was the Li River and the other was the cliff. On the cliff, there was a small small camp, which formed a corner with the camp at the foot of the mountain.
"This layout is indeed not easy to attack. The rebels camped on the edge of the mountain to prevent our army from cutting off their water source; and there is a small camp on the mountain, which blocked the path we went around from the back mountain to attack them." Zhao Peng put down Qianlijing and said.
