Chapter Thirty-One: The Courage of the Majesty
Hao Yaoqi rode his horse and looked at the head of Ye County. After looking for a while, he said to the person beside him with a calm face: "This dog official looks a bit of a pattern."
From noon to now, Hao Yaoqi came to the city and attacked seven or eight times in turn, but were all repelled. He was angry for a moment and felt very shameless.
The walls of Ye County are not high, and the city is not large. With five thousand soldiers and horses, they should have captured a handful of attacks on a few hundred guarded cities. However, Zheng Yunzhi was well prepared. Outside the other three walls, there were large and small pits, but the front wall was indeed well prepared. Several tiger squatting cannons on the top of the city were too fierce. Hao Yaoqi came in a hurry again, and he did not carry cannon fodder, and even the cannon fodder vagrants.
When thieves attack the city, they often have a constitution. Before siege, they will first touch some old thieves into the city and cooperate with the outside. If not, they will drive away the refugees and women as cannon fodder to attack the morale of defending the city and consume the resources of defending the city. If not, they will attack hard.
Once you cannot conquer, if you do not siege, you can only retreat.
Hao Yaoqi came in a hurry. He originally expected the nails buried in the city to make contributions, but he didn't expect to suffer a loss. As soon as he arrived, he pulled people from the tunnel and waited for dozens of people to get out of the tunnel, but the tunnel was blown up. Only then did he realize that the nails in the city were probably pulled out by Zheng Yunzhi.
So he attacked hard. However, the other three walls could not set the formation, so he had to attack from the front. So he was defeated by Zheng Yunzhi again and again, and he was furious and furious.
But he was unable to make up his mind to attack in an all-round way - one was that the military pay he coveted might not have arrived in Ye County, and the other was that he was afraid of losses. After all, the thieves were thieves, such as thieves, with great momentum, claiming to be hundreds of thousands or millions, but they were all mobs. There were not many real backbone old thieves. Even thieves, there were probably only tens of thousands of elite old thieves. Hao Yaoqi had less than four thousand.
On the other side of Erlang Mountain, he sent two thousand people. There were less than two thousand old thieves among the five thousand people here, and the remaining three thousand were ordinary thieves.
After several attacks, more than three thousand thieves who were slightly better than artillery fire were no longer morale. If they attacked harder, they would have to be sent to the old camp. But he couldn't bear to leave.
"I had known that I would have pulled a few red cannons and killed him!"
A thief general said irritably: "This dog official, wait until the city is broken, cut him into pieces, and his wife, children, and his children are wiped out!"
At this moment, there was a commotion behind him. Hao Yaoqi looked back and saw that there seemed to be a riot behind the army. He didn't see it clearly, so he ignored it. As a thief, riots, etc., it was common.
But this riot is intensifying!
A wave of sword lights swept through the air in the thief army. At first, there were thieves who came forward to stop them, but they all became ghosts under the sword. Later, no one dared to go up and die. The wolf chased by the sword light ran away. Soon after, the riot spread. When Hao Yaoqi woke up, it was too late!
"What's going on!"
Then someone came and said in horror: "A murderous man came in!"
"What a bullshit guy?" A thief general was furious and shouted: "I'm from the Zhang family, I'll go and have a look first."
Soon after, another report came: "The Zhang family is not good, General Liu was killed!"
At this time, the thieves had not yet formed a system. They were all messy, either they were called the king, the stewards, the ones in charge of the family, or they were the general and the prime minister. Any thief leader dared to be called the general.
As for people like Hao Yaoqi, there are dozens of generals under his command.
But the one I just went there was the warrior beside him. He had always been charging forward and was very fierce. Unexpectedly, he was killed in the blink of an eye.
Hao Yaoqi was furious: "Kill him for me!"
He cut off the news with a knife and shouted, "Why don't you go quickly!"
A few thieves rushed into the army that had already appeared in chaos. Hao Yaoqi quickly stood up and looked at it. He saw that the sword light flashed in the chaotic army, like lightning. In the blink of an eye, the traces of the thieves disappeared!
It was only then that Hao Yaoqi saw Ying Yi.
I saw a big man named Angzang holding a simple knife, covered with blood, like an evil ghost from hell. The sword light was like a wheel, and his troops under him fell all over the ground. Not to mention killing this person, even if he could not get close to him.
At this time, a team of more than 200 people rushed in from the rear army.
When the two of them merged, the already panic thief army was in chaos!
Ying Yiyun's sword was like thunder. With one sword, it was a thundering sound, and the air cracked a white wave. The white wave was empty, like a hurricane, and the surrounding thieves stumbled. And when the sword light passed, everything was broken.
Several thieves looked ferocious and killed them with one knife. He raised his head, and his cold and bright eyes were just right in front of Hao Yaoqi's gaze in the distance.
Ying Yi only glanced at him and ignored the person who seemed to be the leader of the thief, and was only happy to kill in the army. He was paying attention to Zheng Liu and others who had just broken into the thief army. However, he didn't know that his eyes made Hao Yaoqi sweat for a long time.
Hao Yaoqi's heart was beating wildly, and he was frightened by the indifferent look. He even wanted to turn around and escape, but he almost suppressed it. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the bloody man did not expect him to come here.
The bandit army was in chaos, and Zheng Liu and his party rushed in. The obstacles encountered were unprecedented. As soon as the soldiers arrived, the bandit army seemed to retreat independently. They killed them in a short while and saw that they were approaching the city. However, no one expected that the city gate would open at this time. Zheng Yunzhi took the lead, held a sword, and killed three hundred people!
Ying Yi saw the chaos army and couldn't help but sigh secretly, while also admiring Zheng Yunzhi's courage.
At the moment, he stopped lingering and killed Zheng Yunzhi.
After a while, he met with Zheng Yunzhi, Zheng Liu and others at the city.
Zheng Yunzhi had a chaotic beard and raised her sword and shouted, "Ying Yi, Zheng Liu, Zheng Jiu, how dare you kill with this county for another time?!"
Zheng Liu and Zheng Jiu shouted loudly: "I wish to die for the Master!"
Ying Yi sighed inwardly and said, "Why don't you dare!"
It was so easy to kill. The thieves were clearly piled with paper sand, and they were in a group of mobs. The murdered wolf ran to the pig. Hao Yaoqi saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away. Where was the rest of the thieves still half distracted? The panic dissipated. Zheng Yunzhi laughed and led the people to chase him for a while before returning to the county town.
"The crowd of thieves and chaotic people are not worth worrying about."
Zheng Yunzhi twisted her beard and her face turned red. She seemed very excited. He was a scholar, but he didn't expect that he would lead troops to fight and lead people to fight. How could this not make him feel ups and downs?
"Five thousand thieves were defeated by me and 500 people, which shows that they are fierce outside and weak inside. This incident of suppressing the thieves will definitely be successful!"
When Ying Yi heard this, he secretly felt helpless about his confidence. If the Ming Dynasty still had control, it would not be difficult to defeat the thiefs. But the difficulty lies in the situation that the Ming Dynasty could no longer control.
For example, Zuo Liangyu and others harm the people and run away, they are much more concerned about suppressing thieves and are also good at cheating teammates.
