Chapter five hundred and fifty second: broken city
Chapter 552: Breaking the City
On the sampan, a captain with an iron-shelled hat raised his sword, followed by a series of naval troops. When they arrived at the trestle, they did not rush to get ashore immediately, but set up their teams and raised their flags. The captain walked in front and issued a command: "Flat gun!"
Wow... the spear in the front row was flattened, eager to try.
"Take the bow!"
The archers in the back row boarded the bow and arrow, and led them into the air in oblique angle.
"Follow me!"
On the trestle bridges, dense queues began to slowly move forward. Looking around, dozens or hundreds of trestle bridges in the bay were covered by black heads.
When the wing army on the dock and the warehouse saw it, they couldn't help but feel chilled. It's okay. What scared them the most was that they didn't know what to do next. If they could win, they would be like a rebellion. How to fight? If they didn't fight, they would clearly show that they would come over and there was no room for discussion with you.
At this time, the sails on the boat descended, but a snow-white sail was hung out, with bright red characters written on it - "Qinming Lihai".
The word "Qinshi" is particularly eye-catching. When the soldiers looked at it, they were even less morale. When Dutou and Yuhou saw this, they were all disorganized. Seeing this, they saw that the navy was about to come from the pier. At this time, they were already in a state of chaos.
"The navy obeys the order." The captains in front of the line roared, and their long sword was raised into the air: "We are ordered to enter Quanzhou, but if there are any obstacles to cause trouble, they will be punished for rebellion and will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill!" The morale of the navy was greatly boosted. As the captain pointed at the front of the sword, a loud shout suddenly broke out. Then he stepped on his boots and accelerated his pace with the captain.
This sentence is for the navy army, and it is not a warning to the Xiang army that everyone should eat food when they serve in the army. Of course, they know the consequences of rebellion. Even if they die, they will die in vain. Let’s not talk about the bad news for thousands of years. Anyway, there is no benefit at all. But even if the navy army is driven back to the sea, what benefits can they get?
On the other side of the Wangyuan Tower, the commander of the Xiang army hurriedly led a team of personal guards to attack the horse. The navy was surprisingly tough and disrupted his deployment. It was thought that the Xiang army was confronting them here, and they would never dare to act rashly. His purpose was to deter the navy at the sea and wait for the four major maritime merchants to exert force. But they didn't take his tricks at all. They came up with a burst of arrows, suppressing the aura of the Xiang army, forcing the Xiang army to retreat to the dock, and the navy went on the trestle and even more in a confrontational manner. If this continues, either the Xiang army collapses or fights.
Gong Xing complained in his heart. When he rushed to the nearest dock, he brought a few people over and said, "Sir, what should I do?"
Gong Xing pretended to be calm and said, "What are you afraid of? They are just intimidating me. Don't be afraid, keep your duty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the flag opposite was getting closer to the dock. Under the flag of the rushing battle, the captain shouted: "Listen to my orders and get into battle!"
"Fall in the formation!" The navy burst out with a loud roar. Ping held up his spear and rushed over like a long snake. The wing army was not ready yet. As soon as it came into contact, it was hit in a mess. The already loose team was even more dissatisfied.
The wing army, which was pierced by a spear, burst out with a final whine and fell into a pool of blood with a whistle.
Not only this, but also everywhere, there were shouts of killings everywhere. The navy did not hesitate at all, and they all rushed into the enemy formation with guns, followed by the second and third rows. Every attack was full of power.
Gong Xing was shocked and gritted his teeth, "The person surnamed Chen really dares to take action. Come on... Come on, hurry up, report to the city."
When people saw blood, they immediately became crazy, especially these naval troops with a rainbow of morale. After training, they seemed to have endless energy to vent. The wave after wave of impact made them feel like they were not caring about it. The lieutenant took the lead in front, and the navy troops behind rushed in without hesitation.
The Xiang army was still struggling to support it at the beginning. Seeing that there were more and more naval troops, there were concerns in their hearts. Some people immediately began to abandon their weapons and fled. Once someone was afraid of this kind of battle, they could not support it immediately. With the first one, there would be the second one, and the results were more and more.
The captain shouted at the right time: "Don't chase and kill deserters, only those who resist the heavenly soldiers."
Hundreds of lieutenants shouted these words together, and the momentum was extremely loud. As a result, fewer and fewer resistance were resisting and more and more fleeing. The heads of the Yuhou could not stop them, so they simply fled themselves.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Gong Xing sighed and fled into the city. He rode his horse as most eye-catching. He was immediately pulled off the horse by someone. A feather arrow penetrated his right leg, blood flowing out, and blood and flesh flew. He rolled on the ground in pain. After he finally recovered his mind, seven or eight spears were aimed at him.
With just one stick of incense, the wing army completely collapsed. At this time, the formation of the navy was not disordered. Some pursued and entered the city, and some cleaned the battlefield without any chaos. When encountering defeated soldiers, the navy army entering the city did not chase and killed them, but only seized the inner city gate.
Chen Ao came down from the flagship and landed on the pier. He looked up at Quanzhou and took a team of personal guards to the dock. There were already lieutenants coming to report the battle. Chen Ao nodded, but was not surprised by the result. From the beginning, this landing battle was not about the number of people and morale, but about the hearts of the people. The navy was ordered and supported by the imperial envoy, without any consideration. The wing army was timid, obeying orders and taking into account the identity of the imperial envoy. In this battle, the outcome had already come out.
In addition, the number of naval soldiers is only a lot higher than that of the wing army. After a period of training, the orders can still be implemented. As long as Chen Ao is grateful for his determination to move forward, the outcome will be clear.
Several lieutenants pulled a lame general of the Xiang army and said excitedly: "Mr. Shen, captured Gong Xing, commander of the Xiang army."
Gong Xing was only concerned about the pain at this time, and his whole body was like a defeated rooster. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth to endure the pain. Chen Ao only glanced at him lightly: "Ask him well, throw him aside first, and then clean up together."
In the inner city, no one had ever thought that the situation at the dock would change so quickly. Some of the wing soldiers here were thinking about whether to close the city gate, but no one dared to do it and stop the imperial envoy. That was a serious crime. They had already landed. If they struggled to death at this time, wouldn't this be seeking death?
Then the defeated soldiers entered the city, and the pursuers came one after another. Near the city gate, many people dressed in servants could not take care of anything when they saw this situation and immediately hurried back to their respective residences.
The Cui family was already in chaos, and the news was worse than the other. Cui Jian and Cui Yan and several of the Cui family's backbones gathered together in a daze. Cui Jian trembled with his lips: "Please pack up... and take away all the things you can take away. Quanzhou can't be kept."
Unfortunately, several clan uncles in the family disagreed and said, "Our Cui family has been in Quanzhou for so many years. If we abandon our family business, we will fall into the water. Where can we go? Besides, Cui Zhi is still in Bianjing, and is ranked among the three provinces. The Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion, who was granted by Chen, cannot catch the evidence of our pirates. What can I do to me?"
Cui Yan also said: "After all, my father is in Bianjing. The man surnamed Chen is crazy and he doesn't dare to do anything to our Cui family. Isn't it just to teach our Cui family to pay taxes? He just pays it."
Cui Jian shook his head in dismay: "You don't know, don't you know, our Cui family tree has a deep root and is a chicken, so it's a monkey to kill."
As he was talking, the back garden became in chaos. A chief staggered over and cried and said, "Master... It's not good. A few unsightly servants broke into the back garden and robbed the warehouse... and... they were still lustful..."
"Bastard!" Cui Jian gritted his teeth in anger: "Why don't you bring someone to suppress me!"
The head of the matter shivered: "The people have dispersed. It is said that the Cui family is in trouble. All those who can run away have run away. No one is loyal. If you don't take any harm, you will have a conscience."
Cui Jian sighed, and for a moment he was dull. Most of the servants of the Cui family were sailors. They were well-made and skillfully. They summoned them to serve them. This was also an incentive for these people. However, although these people were capable, they were all brave and fierce murderers. It was fine when the Cui family was prominent in the past, and no one dared to cause any trouble. At this time, they took the opportunity to enter.
Cui Yan said angrily: "It's outrageous, I'll go and take a look."
Cui Jian waved his hand to stop him: "Forget it, forget it, ignore it, ignore it..." He shivered for a moment, and took a lot of effort to say: "At this moment, Yan'er, your father has entrusted you to me, you can't have any trouble."
The riots here are the same, and the same goes for the Maritime Warehouse. When Eunuch Zhang heard the navy army enter the city, he fainted immediately and was woken up by a servant. He began to hold his head and cry bitterly. The eunuch's nature was strange and he was just crying. Suddenly, he stopped crying again. He smiled at the stunned dog-legged men in the lower silence and said, "What are the silly families afraid of? What is the person whose surname is Chen? What is he? The silly families are people in the palace. Can he kill the silly families? It's such a big joke."
He dressed up his clothes and asked someone to take a handkerchief to wipe his tears. Then he laughed: "Don't be afraid, stick to his own duties. If the sky falls, the family will support you. You can't kill you." He looked at the dogs with a pride with a pride, and then said: "The family entered the palace at the age of seven and served the Empress Dowager at the age of nineteen. The Empress Dowager was favored by the Empress Dowager, and he was able to get this job. He was arrogant and bold, and had the ability to move the family with a hair."
The people below felt polite after he said this, and they said, "Eunuch Zhang, you are fine, but we who are the ones who are in charge will definitely be punished by the ones surnamed Chen, Eunuch Zhang..."
Eunuch Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the family will ensure that you have nothing to do."
Hu Hai was also anxious at the Transport Department. After hearing the news, he was holding tea to drink. When the person who was reported to the news, he turned dark and threw the tea cup to the ground, cursing: "Gong Xing misled me!" Then he stood up and turned around in the yamen hall with his hands on his back. When he stopped, his face was even more frightened. He studied for the exam and then went out to be an official. This was decades of hard work. I didn't expect that I would be reluctant to fall into this matter.
Although this place is Quanzhou, Hu Hai knows Chen Ao's experience very well. Everyone is from the scholars and the popularity has been circulated for a long time. What's more, Chen Ao is the kind of person who will cause trouble every now and then. It's hard not to know him.
It is such a person who won the top scorer, cheated Wang Fu, stepped on Cai Tao, and killed the prince. Once he was given a chance, could he let him go?
Hu Hai is not a businessman. He lacks the wisdom of a businessman, but has a little more insight into people's hearts. He is not the frog in the well who is castrated by Eunuch Zhang who is still stubborn until his death. With Chen Ao's past style, if you have to make this account clear, countless people will definitely fall to the ground.
What to do, what to do? Hu Hai raised his head and looked at the plaque with a 'glass high' behind the case, and it was a small matter whether the official was lost or not. Life was the most important thing. To save his life, it must be valuable.
He gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Just do it like this. What can I care about when I reach this point today?"
He made up his mind and immediately called the officer: "Prepare a sedan chair, prepare a sedan chair, go to the city gate to welcome the imperial envoy."
Many of the officers were said to have run away, and only a few honest ones were left. They asked in panic: "Sir... there are soldiers everywhere on the city gate... I am afraid, I am afraid that I will hurt my life."
Hu Hai kicked the officer and shouted: "This is something you can pay attention to. Hurry up, go and prepare."
The officers climbed and crawled away. Hu Hai finally calmed down and finally arrived at the yamen gate step by step, and got into the sedan chair.
There were still some *** in the entire Quanzhou at first. The fleeing soldiers plundered the city in groups of three or five. In addition, when the gangsters saw the opportunity, they also wanted to take the opportunity to make a big fuck. However, the navy entered the city and spread out in groups to suppress them everywhere, gradually attacking the signs of ***. At this time, it became much quieter suddenly. There was no one on the street. Sometimes a team of navy hurried over with weapons. After looking at this side, they ignored it.
When I arrived at the city gate, I realized that the three gates in the inner city were closed, and only this gate facing the port was opened. However, there were the most naval troops here. Before the sedan chair was approaching the city wall, a captain shouted: "Stop, the imperial envoy has an order, no one is allowed to enter and exit!"
