The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

East of Ruyang City.

Although Wen Shiyi was not knowledgeable in military affairs, after learning that the East City Gate had been captured by the enemy, he quickly gathered more than 300 rural soldiers and dozens of government officials from nearby, preparing to rely on houses and streets to intercept the intruders entering the city. enemy.

He felt that as long as Fu Ruwei brought more troops and horses to support him, he might be able to drive the enemy out of the city.

In order to boost morale, Wen Shiyi took a pair of swords and charged forward personally.

However, it is said that He Lianyue led 400 soldiers of the Shengjie Battalion and used grenades to attack and capture the Wengcheng at the east gate. Then he picked up the weapons left by the Ming army and defended the Wengcheng.

Outside the city, the third regiment, under the command of Yang Heqing, sent out all three combat battalions to attack the city, leaving only one baggage battalion and four civilian warrior battalions accompanying the army.

They also deliberately arranged for two battalions to attack the middle sections of the city walls on both sides of the city gate tower first, with the first battalion advancing behind and approaching the city gate tower.

Therefore, when the city gate was opened, the first battalion of the third regiment quickly joined forces with the Shengjie Battalion to completely control the east city gate.

The other two combat battalions pretending to attack the city wall also quickly entered the city under the cover of the enemy's squatting cannons and crossbowmen.

Yang Heqing led the baggage battalion and transferred two battalions of relatively well-trained civilian warriors to finally follow up.

As for the baggage, food and fodder of the third regiment, they were placed in the camp built yesterday, and were garrisoned by the remaining two civilian brave battalions.

Liu Sheng and the generals had already made a decision not to use the Mingyong Battalion as cannon fodder to attack the city, and not to use it as a vanguard to attack the city.

It's not that Liu Sheng is reluctant to spare the lives of the civilian warriors, but that the training time for these civilian warriors is not long after all. The shortest training period is less than ten days, and the long training period is less than half a month. It is difficult to ensure discipline.

In addition, many people are still wearing common people's clothes, and their weapons are mainly bamboo guns and wooden sticks.

If we really let these people be the vanguard to attack the city, firstly, they would be easily blocked by the Ming army, and they would be defeated and retreat to counterattack the rebel army.

Second, it is easy to disperse and turn into chaotic armies and civilians who burn, kill, and loot everywhere.

Therefore, unless the siege plan is blocked and the Mingyong are needed as supplementary troops, Liu Sheng will not abuse the Mingyong troops.

If he really did that, how different would he be from Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others who coerced the refugees into fighting?

···

The Wengcheng was still guarded by the Shengjie Battalion, which was unarmored and lacked weapons (because they entered the city in disguise).

Hu Dongliu, as the deputy of the regiment and the deputy of the first battalion, led the 600 standing troops to kill along the main street towards the government office.

After walking no more than a hundred steps, I saw a county magistrate rushing over with hundreds of rural soldiers and government officials.

The county magistrate was at the front, looking quite fierce.

But the village soldiers and government officials following him were obviously a little wretched, and they were already out of touch with the county magistrate and the few dozen who rushed quickly.

Most of the three regiments and one battalion are veterans of the standing army, and they already have their own routines for combat.

Without Hu Dongliu's specific command, a hundred crossbowmen stepped forward and fired a hail of arrows.

If the opponent is an elite person wearing heavy armor, or perhaps a sword player, this round of arrow rain will not have much lethality and will not have much impact on the battle.

It's a pity that the opposite side is full of unarmored rural soldiers and government officials.

A round of arrows rained down, and almost all of the dozens of warrior warriors who rushed to the front with the county magistrate were hit by arrows!

Even the county magistrate was hit by an arrow in the thigh and fell to the ground.

Some of the wretched rural soldiers and government officials in the back were hit by arrows, but not many.

The remaining people huddled in alleys and behind houses, and it was unclear whether they escaped or hid.

Hu Dongliu ignored those people and directly ordered: "Arrest the county magistrate!"

The county magistrate is naturally Wen Shiyi.

He struggled to sit up and wanted to kill himself with a knife, but he was a step too late and was caught by the rebel soldiers.

He struggled and yelled angrily, "Rebel! Kill me if you dare!"

Hu Dongliu frowned, waved his hand and said, "Shut his mouth!"

After Wen Shiyi's mouth was blocked, he could only make a whine.

Afterwards, Hu Dongliu escorted Wen Shiyi and continued to the front office. Before coming, the rebel army, battalion, and sentry generals had all seen the map of Ruyang City and knew where important places such as the government office and county government were.

With Wen Shiyi in hand, even if a very small number of rural soldiers and government officials wanted to resist, they did not dare to act recklessly.

Therefore, Hu Dongliu and others encountered almost no resistance from the Ming army along the way.

However, some people who were still running in panic on the streets caused some obstacles to the progress of the rebels...

After Fu Ruwei returned to the government office, at the suggestion of several staff, he finally decided to summon the officers and soldiers in the city to engage in street fighting with the enemy.

At the same time, manpower was also sent to contact Prince Chong's Mansion and the garrison generals on several other walls.

Afterwards, he led more than 200 rural soldiers from the government office and dozens of followers, preparing to bravely take to the streets.

Unexpectedly, before leaving the government office, the captain of the rural soldiers guarding the door hurriedly came to report: "Master Fu, Shen Youji came to the government office with one or two hundred people and said he wanted to see you!"

"Shen Wandeng?" Fu Ruwei frowned after hearing this, "Why did he come to the government office instead of killing the enemy?"

An aide next to him said: "Since the Lord of the Palace has to fight with the thieves in the streets, Shen Youji's arrival is just the right time for him to command the troops. With Shen Youji's good fighting skills, maybe he can really drive the enemy out of the city!"

"Absolutely not!" Another staff member immediately objected, "Don't forget, Your Majesty, Shen Wanteng was a rebel, and yesterday he was punished by the Master to think about his mistakes in isolation.

Now that the bandit army has entered the city, he did not go to kill the enemy, but came to the government office to ask for a meeting. It was probably because of evil intentions! "

Fu Ruwei recalled the scene when Shen Wan climbed up to confront him yesterday, and couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, we can't let him command the troops, and we can't let him in.

Isn't Wenzhi County blocking the enemy in the east of the city? Go and tell him that I ordered him to go to the east of the city to provide support as soon as possible! "

"Yes!"

The captain of the rural soldiers was ordered to deliver the message.

Outside the government office gate.

Shen Wandeng frowned after hearing the message from the captain of the rural soldiers.

He immediately said: "Don't you know, Mr. Fu? The north city wall has also been captured by the rebels. Someone must lead troops to the north of the city to stop the enemy, otherwise it will be useless to just rely on Wenzhi County to stop the enemy in the east of the city. Forget it, I will go in and personally Tell the Lord Fu"

With that said, Shen Wandeng was about to rush directly to the government office.

But he was stopped by a group of rural soldiers guarding the gate with knives.

The captain of the rural soldiers said with a bitter face: "Shen Youqi, the governor has an order. You can't enter the government office. You should go to the east of the city to support Wenzhi County."

Shen Wandeng didn't expect Fu Ruwei to be so wary of him, and couldn't help but stare in anger.

After he stepped down the steps, a captain of the servant approached and whispered: "Brother, Fu took away your military power before, and he is still so wary of us.

Now that the city is in ruins, in my opinion, it is better to take the opportunity to rush into the government office, capture the dog officer and defect to Liu. "

Shen Wandeng remained silent for a moment, but his expression was clearly moved.

He was originally a small landowner in Zhenyang County. He liked to dance with swords, guns, horseback riding and archery since he was a child. When he was young, he also liked to make friends with rangers and heroes.

A few years ago, the government imposed heavy taxes to oppress his family, and the county officials somehow refused to deal with his family and actually wanted to push his family to death.

It happened that friends of Sheng raised the flag of righteousness and occupied Yuecheng (market town) in the east of Zhenyang City. In a few days, tens of thousands of people gathered.

So he also spent his family wealth, recruited local warriors, gathered thousands of people, and went to Sheng's friends, preparing to do great things together.
