Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 633 Outsmarting Wan County (Part [-])

The suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate was opened wide. Zhang Huan couldn't help being elated. His Majesty's move was really good at this time, so he led the troops across the suspension bridge and entered the city.

At the gate of the city, Ma Weixing, the lord of the city, came to meet him with a guard, and got off his horse as soon as he was far away, and ran over, "How is the prince hurt?"

Ma Weixing stopped the soft frame, took a closer look, and with the light of the torch, he could see very clearly, how could this young general in white robe be Li Dingguo?He doesn't even know it!
"This..." When he was surprised, Zhang Huan next to him stabbed him in the chest with his right hand. It may be that the knife was too hard. Ma Weixing was not prepared at all. The tip enters from the front and protrudes from the back, like bloodletting a pig, the blood is soaring.

"Ah..." Ma Weixing was so painful that his facial features moved, his body shook, and he let out a scream. His eyes stared at Zhang Huan, who was dressed as a general of the Great Western Army, and his face was full of disbelief, "You...you..." He couldn't speak anymore, and his mouth was full of blood.

"I'm Ming Zhang Huan, go to hell!" Zhang Huan was also ruthless, with a click of the knife in his left hand, this knife cut off Ma Weixing's head, and the headless body fell to the ground, how far the head rolled, blood spattered soft frame.

In fact, the man who was lifted on the soft frame was not injured at all, the bleeding from the arrow was all faked. At this time, seeing that Zhang Huan had killed Ma Weixing, he also jumped off the soft frame, and drew the knife with the soldier who carried the frame. Kill Ma Weixing's guards and the guard at the city gate.

The incident happened suddenly, and no one was prepared for such a situation. Ma Weixing's hundreds of guards and the soldiers at the gate of the city were completely caught off guard. By the time they realized that this was the Ming army defrauding the city, it was already too late, and there were already many dead and wounded lying on the ground. .

Zhang Huan's 1 people, Ma Ke, poured all their strength into it. Ma Weixing's hundreds of guards and hundreds of defenders at the city gate, a total of more than 1000 people, were killed and scattered without even smoking a cigarette. Zhang Huan's men occupied the city. Door.

1000 people were left to guard the city gate, and then the troops were divided into two groups. Zhang Huan picked up Ma Weixing's head, and a deputy general led a team each to rush to the top of the city to kill on the left and right sides.They kill anyone they see, and chop anyone they see.

I don't know how many enemies there are in the city, but Zhang Huan is very experienced. He must seize the city defense as soon as possible, so that he can advance and retreat. The first thing they enter is the south gate. Knowing what was going on, many people became confused, because Zhang Huan had thousands of people wearing the armor of the Great Western Army and fighting the banner of the Great Western Army, thinking that there was a mutiny in the city.

In fact, although these people pretended to be the Great Western Army, they all had obvious marks on their bodies to show that they were different from the Great Western Army in the city, so as to avoid misjudgment and mistaken killing.

Caught off guard, Zhang Huan's troops moved quickly, and within half an hour, they occupied the head of Wanxian City, and all four gates were taken down. After entering the city gate, he fled in a panic with hundreds of copies.

Zhang Huan's men rushed to take over the north city gate, but did not go out to chase after it, and closed the gate to death.For the rest of the south gate, east gate and west gate, most of the gatekeepers were killed, some surrendered, and some were driven off the top of the city and ran into the city.

After occupying the top of the city, Zhang Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to shrink from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, from the four gates. At that time, it was already known that the Ming army came in through the fraudulent city.

A general led these people and planned to recapture the city. At this moment, they were surrounded by Ming troops rushing from all directions, and countless torches shone like daylight.

Zhang Huan picked Ma Weixing's head on the horse and shouted: "Your prince Li Dingguo has been tricked, and Ma Weixing's head is here. Those who surrender will not die! His Majesty Daming treats prisoners preferentially..."

Killing ring leaders shout like this every time they kill. Sometimes slogans really work. It can inspire the army's morale and also disintegrate the army's morale. The Daxi Army saw that it was Ma Weixing's head. The main general was killed, the city was broken, and the army's morale suddenly They dispersed, and they didn't know how many Ming troops came, so they were panic-stricken and had no fighting spirit. Most of them chose to surrender, and a few of them were determined to resist, and they were quickly beheaded on the spot.

Some chose to escape, but the four doors were closed tightly, so they could only hide in hidden places in the city. But at this time, the common people had heard the movement. Those who are bold, old, weak, sick, and unable to leave their hometowns, these people have long heard the news, every house is closed, every house is closed, these soldiers will not be able to get in at all, and they dare not smash The gate was afraid of attracting the Ming army, so they had to hide in dog holes, cemeteries, ditches, and abandoned civilian houses and buildings, and dare not come out there.

In order to survive, some simply hid and took off their military uniforms. Seeing that the situation was over, they simply disguised themselves as ordinary people.There are all kinds of things, all kinds of things, regardless of the size, anyway, these remnants dare not come out.

In short, Zhang Huan's 1 troops quickly occupied Wanxian County by defrauding the city. How quickly, it can be said that from the time they entered the city to completely occupying the entire city, it took less than three hours .

A total of 3000 people from the 7000 Great Western Army in the city became prisoners. Most of these [-] people chose to abandon their weapons and surrender collectively. The remaining nearly [-] people, except for a large number of casualties, some escaped, and the rest remained anonymous. Hidden.

When the sky was gray, the battle in the city was over. To be on the safe side, Zhang Huan sent out spies to investigate outside the city. If a large number of Daxi troops who slipped through the net came, the city should be prepared.

At the same time, Zhang Huan ordered more than 3000 prisoners to be collectively detained first, and then deal with the prisoners of war after the war was completely over.

Then clean up the battlefield, take away the wounded in the city above and below the city for treatment, whether it is the enemy or us, the dead bodies are first pulled to one place, and after the war is over, they are pulled outside the city for unified burial.

Then use clean water and a rag to wipe off the blood stains, and then the flag of the Great Western Army still remains on the top of the city, and the soldiers standing on the top of the city still wear the armor of the Great Western Army.

The reason why they did this was to restore the county to the way it was before the war last night, so that those who slipped through the net would mistakenly think that the city was safe and sound. If there were any big fish that came back, they would open the city and let them in.

This was of course Zhu Yousong's will. Zhang Huan commanded and worked hard for more than an hour, going up and down the city, in and out of the city, and he inspected it himself.He ordered the four gates to be locked up, the drawbridge was pulled up, and he took the people back to the city to rest.

At this time, it was already bright, and the sun had risen as high as a tree.

Even the ambush and make-up, and even the battle and the busy work have been tossing for a whole night without sleep. Zhang Huan felt tired just after returning to the tent.

Zhang Huan's eyes lit up, His Majesty is really a man of God, as soon as the net is set up here, there will be fish coming, if they can catch a few big fish, so many people's work is not in vain.

But to keep in mind, the thirty or so riders who came here were all ordinary generals, and they didn't even have a guerrilla general in their attire.

Zhang Huan was discouraged. It turned out that there were a few stragglers who slipped through the net. Let alone more than 30, what's the use of more than 300?When you still feel that it is not worth it, just send an order to ignore them.

Until Li Dingguo showed his true colors outside the city, Zhang Huan jumped up happily after getting the report, and ordered the city to be opened immediately to let them in.

After Li Dingguo entered the city, he realized that he had been tricked again...
