Chapter 272 The True Hero
In front of the governor's yamen.
"The Great Khan Heavenly Soldiers are here!"
Amid the constant shouts from behind, Gao Hongzhong looked at the door of the dead corpse with regret, and Zhang Shenwu, who was covered in blood, was still fighting bravely...
But it looks exhausted.
Because of the absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, facing the continuous attack from outside, the top martial arts scholar and more than 200 subordinates under him had fought to the end. Now many surrendered captives have climbed up the roof on the ladder and even flipped into it directly. Zhang Shenwu and the last fewer than fifty subordinates were guarding the gate and guarding the last line of defense with their lives. But for this city, the significance of their battle was only to symbolize that it had not yet completely fallen.
Fighting in most parts of the city has stopped.
Liang Zhongshan broke through at the west gate, and Zhu Wanliang was missing. Other officials either escaped from the city or committed suicide, and a small number of them chose to kneel down to greet him.
This is still worthy of gratitude.
Because the market for wild boar skin is not good, and the local officials are basically in the pass, they would rather die in danger and repay the king. After all, this would not involve implicating their families. Only a few local garrison officials simply chose to surrender because they did not have to worry about this issue.
But no matter what, with the shouting of the guy who was shouting the news of the four Beile army entering the city, everyone in the city made their own choices, and all the streets were full of gentry coming out to greet them. The Ming army and officials who had not escaped also chose to hide. Those who were still insisting on resisting were only Zhang Shenwu, but those who fought with them were not Jiannu, but a group of traitors and their gangsters.
But Gao Hongzhong's wish was also disappointed.
The purpose of his efforts to attack here in this way was simply because there was a large amount of military pay.
Otherwise, he would not have worked so hard that he was idle. The warehouse of this government office was stocking up 500,000 taels of military pay. Originally, the young emperor specially allocated it to Xiong Tingbi to defeat Jiannu and come back to reward the troops. Because Yang Xin made more and more money, the young emperor was still very generous in this regard. Gao Hongzhong just wanted to open the place and grab one first. Anyway, he didn't know how much wild boar skin was. He grabbed 300,000 and left 200,000 for wild boar skin.
But now...
"Quickly, kneel down and greet me!"
He turned around and shouted at the cavalry rushing behind him.
Next to him, Wu Shoujin and his confidants immediately knelt down to welcome the Khan soldiers they imagined. They fought until now, but in the end they still got Khan's advantage.
Fortunately, Da Khan could see their loyalty.
"Gao Hongzhong, a student of Liaoyang Prefecture, Wu Shoujin welcomed the four beiles and the great Khan's heavenly soldiers. Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong in Ming Dynasty, did not recognize the destiny of heaven, resisted the heavenly soldiers and asked the heavenly soldiers to kill them."
Gao Hongzhong lay there and shouted.
Immediately afterwards, the torrent of the cavalry arrived with the sound of thunderous horse hooves, and then they strangled the war horses, and as they bowed, the two cavalry advanced from behind...
"Ye, there is also a big knife!"
A voice exploded above Gao Hongzhong's head like a bolt from the blue.
He had heard this sound two years ago, because the owner of the sound was too special, and he kept it firmly in mind.
But he shouldn't be here!
Gao Hongzhong's cold sweat suddenly appeared.
Then he raised his head in disbelief and looked at a familiar face that appeared above his head.
"Back to Yang Chenshi, this is the top scholar of martial arts Zhang Shenwu."
The face finally said the name that seemed like a nightmare, and looked down at him with a smile.
"Do you know him?"
Nightmare said.
Gao Hongzhong screamed like crazy, and suddenly got up and rushed to the side.
Suddenly, there was an arrow on his knee, almost at the same time, Gao Hongzhong screamed and fell down, then looked at the Khan Tianshang opposite him in shock, a young rat-tail looked at him with a smile, and almost at the same time, the second arrow in his hand shot out, hitting his other knee accurately. Gao Hongzhong couldn't get up at all, and he screamed in pain, crawling on the ground and trying to hide in the darkness in front. Although this was meaningless, for him who had completely collapsed at this time, a little darkness seemed to give him some comfort.
However, a neigh of a war horse sounded above his head.
Immediately afterwards, a horse's hooves stepped heavily on his waist, and his lower body suddenly lost its feeling.
Wu Shoujin behind him was already scared. Wu Shoujin, who also knew Yang Xin and Qin Minping, slumped on the ground like a bug, squirming while making a strange howl, and tears flowing in his nose and tears, shouting that it was all Gao Hongzhong forcing him. As for the confidants of the two families and the gentry who took the initiative to join the attack, they all screamed and ran away in scattered, as if a group of ducks were scattered by wild dogs, and the sharp arrows in the hands of the great soldiers they were greeting were constantly shooting out.
These people are also falling down.
There were also soldiers who were dismounted and knocked on their knees with a small garlic hammer.
"He was the original Sichuan Dusi. He was a little reckless when dealing with the matters of the She family. Finally, he caused the She family to cause trouble and was dismissed by the court. Governor Yuan asked him to serve as atonement."
Qin Minping said with a smile.
There were screams around them.
The surrendered captives who had originally attacked the governor's yamen were also scattered in fear, and were shot down in the pursuit of the cavalry. The exhausted Zhang Shenwu stood in the middle of the gate with a knife and looked at them blankly.
"If the She family makes trouble, beat the She family. Wouldn't it be that the punishment of the She family encourage the She family to make trouble whenever there is something wrong?"
Yang Xin said speechlessly.
She Chongming's rebellion probably shows the weakness of the court from this incident.
While speaking, the two of them dismounted and walked over.
As for the chaos around them, they didn't need to be managed by them. Yang Xin had already ordered them to kill these traitors who were in chaos in the city. Even if they surrendered, they would smash their knees first and then throw them aside to wait for him to deal with them. All of these people were going to be executed in the end. Yang Xin was going to kill them here. And Chuoqina would faithfully execute his orders. Although it was a bit weird to use Jurchen to kill traitors, it would work. Moreover, he also gave these people strict orders not to rob the people, and he would give them a reward alone when they turned around.
With his prestige in Yehe's tribe, this is enough.
In fact, the Yehe tribe even respected him more than that of Jin Taiji. After all, the Yehe tribe had seen his combat power.
And there is also the Buddha who promoted him.
Because of his temple building and offerings, the latter is reciprocating his merits.
So now the legend of his Arhat coming to the world has been widely circulated in the grassland and Yehe tribes. Because he has seen his combat effectiveness, the Yehe tribe and the Neikhalka tribes basically believe it. It has to be said that these guys are too ignorant and backward, and Yang Qianshi refused to admit it. However, he could not stop these rumors, and he was also preparing to continue to build temples. I think his Arhat Golden Body will continue to be firm. Similarly, the rumors that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was blessed by the Buddha will become well known in the grassland and mountains.
This is very beneficial to the stability of grasslands and forests.
In front of the gate of the governor's corpse, Zhang Shenwu looked at them staggeringly, and it seemed that it was difficult to even stand firm. Although he was indeed brave, he was different from Yang Xin's cheating. Even so, he was still blocked in front of the door and was ready to fight to defend the gate at any time.
He didn't know Yang Xin.
But he knew Qin Minping.
Before, he was Sichuan Dusi, and he was indispensable to dealing with Shizhu Tusi.
This is also the reason why the soldiers behind him did not attack, but the weapons in the latter's hands still pointed at Yang Xin and the others.
In the silence, Yang Xin walked up to him.
"The top martial arts scholar?"
Yang Xin walked up to him and said.
The latter looked at him vigilantly, shaking with a big knife, while the forty blood-filled subordinates behind him were also shaking exhausted.
"Give me your knife?"
Yang Xin said.
While speaking, he raised a tooth sign.
"I am the deputy governor of the Governor's Office of the Later Army, and also the governor of Yang Xin, the North Governor's Office!"
He said.
Zhang Shenwu's body shook for a moment and slowly handed him the knife.
"I also use a big knife, but it's much heavier than yours. You can rest. There is no Jiannu here, only General Qin's white-rod soldiers. As for the Yehe cavalry behind them."
Yang Xin said.
Zhang Shenwu looked at him, raised his finger and pointed at what he wanted to say, but suddenly fell backwards...
"Hurry up, help them all aside. They are all real heroes of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Xin looked at him lying in the dead body, then waved to the Bai Gan soldier who was following behind and said.
These are real heroes. In history, they fell before they arrived in Liaoyang. Then Zhang Shenwu led these more than 200 people to continue to move forward against the fleeing Ming army, trying to gather the defeated soldiers and turn around to fight to the death with Jiannu. Unfortunately, the defeated soldiers ignored them at all. In the end, this small team with only more than 200 people crossed the Liao River alone, and launched a desperate charge against the pursuit of Jiannu's thousands of troops. Then, except for fourteen people, they were injured, they all died in battle.
The white-rod soldiers immediately stepped forward and carried Zhang Shenwu aside.
The latter was just exhausted. After all, they had been fighting bloodyly until now, and suddenly they knew that it would be easy to fight without fighting again. Of course, it might be stimulated, but Yang Xin didn't think so.
The remaining soldiers were also helped aside.
They sat blankly on the ground, holding the kettle and jerky handed to them by the white pole soldiers, looking at the people in front of them whom they didn't understand at all.
Yang Xin stepped into the blood-stained gate and then entered the second gate.
There were also dead bodies everywhere within the second gate. The rebels who came over the wall and Zhang Shenwu's subordinates also fought here. Yang Xin was even fighting when he entered, and they had already gained an advantage, but the white-rod soldiers who were accompanying him immediately stepped forward and poked all the rebels to death.
Yang Xin and Qin Minping didn't care about this, and they walked straight to the lobby with dead bodies everywhere.
"Why didn't you see Governor Yuan show up!"
Yang Xin said in confusion.
While speaking, he pushed open the closed lobby door...
"Well?"
Chapter completed!
