Chapter 1507
"Yes, sir."
The attendant outside the door replied, but at this moment, a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded and thundered, making Hou Xun scared. The cups are all dropped.
"What's the matter?"
He said, and then stood up abruptly, the complexion greatly changed.
Seeing someone stumbled into one, he hurriedly said: "Master, it's a cannon!"
Hou Xun trembled and said in panic, "The artillery? Where is the gun? The culprit is here? "
Fengqiu suddenly became a mess like a pot of boiling water. Hou Xun was terribly shocked, and cried, "Hurry up, go!"
Even his wife and concubines couldn't care about it, so he rushed off and ran away.
At this time, the head of Fengqiu city was in ruins. Below the city, four 12,000 soldiers and horses lined up like a forest. Two hundred dainty and delicate tiger squat guns glowed with a faint golden light, continuously ejecting fierce sparks, billowing gunpowder smoke, thick-mouthed cannons. Lightning and thunder, wu wu straddling the distance of several hundred meters, the smashed city wall, the rocks were flying, falling into the city, and the smashed houses were full of holes.
Ming Army wail like ghosts and howl like wolves in Chengtou, with heavy casualties, even a counterattack does not raise.
The tiger squatted and fought three rounds with a straight bang. The city wall of Fengqiu collapsed, exposing a huge gap before the shelling stopped. The pikemen with pale gray armors crossed the artillery array, and drove neatly toward the gap in the city wall.
Fengqiu is only a county town. The city wall, regardless of height, thickness or width, is far from being able to be mentioned on equal terms with such a heavy city as Kaifeng. In addition to the political decline and financial difficulties at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the city wall of Fengqiu has not been repaired for many years. Hou Xun stationed troops here and did not think about spending money to repair it.
The formidable power of the tiger squat gun improved with gold alloy, in fact, after the first round of shelling, the city wall is already on the verge of collapse. Three rounds of shelling are nothing more than the display of strength.
The soldiers are armed to the teeth, except for a pair of eyes, there is no weak spot on the whole body. The pikemen held up the long spear of pale-gold, and overwhelmed them. The distance of several hundred meters passed in an instant. The spearmen were in front, and the gunmen were behind, covering each other, and quickly followed up.
The crackling bangs took the lead in opening the curtain. After the city wall, Ming Army, who had escaped by chance, showed up, and they were greeted by the platoon.
The spearmen rushed into the city along the gap. The long spear stabbed and stood firm. Some spearmen quickly moved away the rubble and bricks left by the collapse of the city wall, and gunmen swarmed into it.
After a while, the city gate opened.
Then the cavalry sent out, rumbling horseshoes, trampled on the ground and slammed in from the city gate.
The shouting and killing sounded loudly. Amidst the roar of firecrackers, there were countless screams, and the Ming Army that had just gathered in the city was suddenly hit hard.
After a few rounds of bludgeoning, the gunmen who entered the city through the gap expanded the array. The spearmen quickly assembled a phalanx, like a wall advancing, long spear lined up with thorns, and Ming Army was instantly beaten. Crash down.
Then a team of spearmen merged with a team of gunmen, and they dispersed in coordination with each other, spreading along the cobweb-like alley.
The cavalry who rushed in from the city gate first blasted the Ming Army gathered on the main street with a round of shots.
Blood and screams filled the whole city, and the commoners who Fengqiu still stood by under the raging Ming Army hid shiver coldly at home.
Ming Army couldn't even organize a decent counterattack. Under the impact of Ying Yi's army, one by one fell to the ground, leaving the limbs and arms broken.
It was a little brave, and it was completely useless to hit Ying Yi's pawn with a firecracker. The person who hit the most took a step back, or left an inconspicuous mark on the armor, and was run over by the army, and the soul flew to Yellow Springs.
Even fire guns are useless, not to mention blade, spear, sword, halberd. Knife stabs and clinks, and sparks at most.
Ying Yi rode a horse into the city, trampling on the blood meat paste, expressionless. The cry of killing has gone, deep into the depths of Fengqiu, with broken limbs and broken arms, some Ming Army who abandoned their weapons and surrendered curled up into a shiver coldly, as if to welcome the arrival of a king.
On both sides of the streets that have become a river of blood, occasionally a room door quietly opens a gap, revealing panic eyes.
"Get ready to clean the battlefield."
Ying Yi said indifferently.
...
Hou Xun took his wife and concubine on the carriage and fled to the Northern Part of City in a panic. Behind him, the generals of the soldiers and horses of the two towns also rushed like crazy, shouting for killing closer and closer, Hou Xun's heart seemed to be gripped tightly by something, and his mouth became iron and blue.
"Master, the north gate is here!"
After hearing this, Hou Xun took a long breath: "Quick, get out of town!"
The city gate opened crunchingly, and Hou Xun's several carriages rushed past the city gate, and then stopped abruptly!
Driven by inertia, Hou Xun almost knocked his head out, and couldn't help being furious: "What's going on!"
There was no response from outside the car.
Hou Xun lifted the curtain of the car and froze.
...
Ying Yi sat on the Imperial Tutor chair and looked very quiet.
In the hall, Zheng Wu is reporting on the battle.
"...Beheaded more than 15,000 levels and captured more than 6,000 people...An Min notice has been posted, and there is nothing wrong with the commoners..."
At this time, the door With the sound of messy footsteps coming from outside, Wang Yisheng was seen taking the lead with his sword.
Zheng Wu just finished the report and retired. Wang Yisheng took a step forward, cup one fist in the other hand and said: "The lord, Hou Xun, and the generals and officers of the two towns have been arrested!"
p>Ying Yi smiled at this moment: "Okay, bring it in."
Wang Yisheng turned and went out. After a while, more than a dozen people were pushed into the hall.
The leader is an old man with a pale face. Judging from his image, if he doesn't care about his panic, he has some literary popularity, but the shrunken appearance is clearly not at all vigorous.
Sure enough, as soon as this person entered, he knelt down and fell on his knees, yelled: "The general is spared, the general is spared!"
When the other generals saw this, they also urged forgiveness.
Freowned after Ying, Wang Yisheng hurriedly stepped forward, kicked some weeping tears to the ground, shouted: "Shut up!"
Suddenly fell silent.
"Which is Hou Xun?" Ying Yi asked indifferently.
The literati old man slapped his head busily: "old man is, old man is."
Ying Yi nodded: "I look like it. Your backbone is like mud. I am as timid as a mouse, who is not Hou Xun?"
Hou Xun hurriedly said: "General bright vision like a torch, bright vision like a torch!"
Ying Yi Laughing: "Pull out and kill."
Hou Xun startled, and suddenly screamed again and again: "The general, spare me, spare me. Old man also uses, also uses!"
Ying Yi waved his hand: "Looking at the appetite, pull it down and kill it."
Wang Yisheng responded, waved his hand, and the soldiers came in like a wolf, dragging Hou Xun and the others went out. It won't help to let the struggle scream.
Ying Yi has no mercy at all.
At this time, Qian Yue entered.
"Master."
Ying Yi waved his hand: "Sit down."
Qian Yue bowed and said, "These coward... "
"All killed." Ying Yi said.
Qian Yue said: "It's not all coward."
He said: "I will bring a hard bone at the end."
"oh?" Win I was curious to startled: "also hard bones?"
I saw a person being pushed into the house. When I saw Yingyi, he didn't worship, but he held his head high and looked sideways.
"Who is this?"
"Fengqiu County Magistrate is here, Ying thief, don't be arrogant!" The man groaned and yelled.
"Fengqiu Ling?" Ying Yi didn't care at all, said with a smile: "Although the Great Ming Dynasty fell to Sri Lanka, there are still a few loyal ministers in the end."
