Blood from Daming

Chapter 56 Street Fighting
At home, General Hou Can heard the faint sounds of fighting coming from the west of the city. He stood up abruptly and opened the door and asked, "Is something wrong in the west?" The soldiers outside the door replied, "Someone has been sent to check the situation." Go, there will be news in a while."

Hou Shen will go back to the house and put on his whole body, strode out the door with the protective sword in his hand, and said to his cronies: "Go and ask the family members in the backyard to pack up the guys and prepare to run away."

General Hou Can came to the front yard and gathered about 400 people, and those who inquired about the news also came back.Spy report: "My lord, the general's mansion has been besieged. There are about 500 people who have broken through the gate of the mansion and attacked, but they said they were ordered to arrest Master Yang."

"Is that so?" General Hou Shen was thinking.

General Hou thought to himself: Yesterday Liu Dawei and Fang Youliang were defeated by a group of troops, Fang Youliang was killed on the spot, Liu Dawei was wounded and whereabouts are unknown, this group of troops came to Datong City again, now something happened to Yang Qing's military mansion, could it be that Liu Dawei and Fang Youliang met It is the imperial court's elite troops, but more than 100 people defeated 1000 people, and I have not heard that the imperial court has such a strong army.

"Why haven't Mr. Zhao Qian and the others come over from Heyang Gate?" General Hou asked.

The leader of the guards replied: "As soon as the movement happened, someone was sent to notify, and it will arrive in about a while."

It seems that the people who attacked the General Military Mansion were probably those people from yesterday. Someone must have opened the city gate and let them in privately last night. Now the imperial court is afraid that Yang Qing will be killed, but what should I do? do it.

At this moment, Mr. Zhao Qian rushed over with 1000 troops. After a brief discussion, the two led the troops towards the direction of Kuixing Tower. After walking not far, someone blocked the way ahead.

General Hou Shen was very annoyed when he saw that the front was blocked, and his spies came to report that it was Liang Shoubei's subordinate Lin Qianzong who blocked the way ahead, and there were 600 people.Zhao Qianzong stepped forward and asked Lin Qianzong to let him pass, but Lin Qianzong ignored it in the name of martial law in the whole city of Datong, and the two sides stood in a stalemate.

Hou Canjiang was originally born as a cavalry bandit, and he lived among the tribes of Daming and Mongolia. He made a living by robbing property, killing people and extorting goods. Shrinking day by day, and meeting Yang Qing's all-out efforts to win him over, he finally took refuge in Yang Qing and became the official army of the Ming Dynasty, and became the fastest knife under Yang Qing's men.

Xue Yun led Master Zhao, the magistrate of Datong Prefecture, and Liang Shoubei to prepare to set off. At this time, the news came that Liang Shoubei's subordinates blocked the general who sent troops to rescue Yang Qinghou in the middle of the way. Xue Yun turned to look at Liang Shoubei. Liang Shoubei said with a smile: "Your Excellency attacked Yang Qing and said that he was ordering to catch the thief. The final general knew that Yang Qing's doomsday was coming, so he sent his subordinates to block up his best friends to help him. Sure enough, the wild monkey Marquis General jumped out."

Xue Yun thought to himself that he really dare not underestimate the people of the world. This Liang Shoubei is not a simple character, so he tried his best to be indifferent and asked: "Why is this Marquis general called a wild monkey?"

Liang Shoubei: "General Hou Can used to run through the mountains and forests, killing countless people, and the people of Ming and Mongolia hated him to the bone, but he suddenly became an officer, and many people can't stand him, but his wildness is hard to change. He has always been an official and a bandit, intercepting and killing caravans and women, killing the good and pretending to be meritorious is really a bad thing to do."

Xue Yun said angrily: "If he doesn't listen to the greeting obediently this time, let him know what it feels like to be killed by others."

The originally narrow street was completely blocked by General Liang Shoubei, and it was very difficult to squeeze through.However, the soldiers on both sides didn't realize how much danger there was, and they just regarded it as ordinary fighting and fighting.

Xue Yun shouted: "General Hou, Yang Qing has done a lot of evil and the court has its own laws. Please return to the barracks and wait for the arrangement of the court."

Most of Hou's generals made a fuss, bluntly saying that Yang Qing would rebel if he didn't let Yang Qing go.Xue Yun, the magistrate Zhao of Datong Prefecture tried his best to persuade him, but the officers and soldiers of the Hou tribe thought that the imperial court was weak and threatened Xue Yun by washing Datong city with blood.

Xue Yun said loudly: "General Hou Shen, please return your troops to the barracks. Except for the release of Yang Qing, which is related to the court's law and I am powerless, the rest can be discussed slowly." Xue Yun didn't want things to get out of control, and he tried his best to let go condition.

General Hou Can hesitated, and suddenly there was a battle in General Hou Can's back. Datong Weiluo commanded his guards to outflank Hou's back, and the soldiers of both sides confronted each other. Out of extortion, burning and killing the enemies of their homeland.

This group of guard soldiers who are usually obedient like sheep finally got bloody. A battle that neither side was prepared for started. More than [-] guard soldiers from the same place rushed up, and the guard soldiers behind them didn't know what was going on. He also rushed forward, and General Hou Can's subordinates were immediately caught in the middle. General Hou Can and Liang's garrison team could not avoid it and finally fought hand-to-hand.

The cruelest thing in the history of wars in ancient and modern China and abroad is street fighting. When both sides are crowded on the same street and cannot move, the fighting between the two sides is to pile up people, and only those who stand at the end have the possibility of survival. Soldiers stab each other with knives. There is no tactics or techniques to speak of. White knives go in and red knives come out. The person in front dies and the person behind makes up and continues to stab. You can't even pretend to be dead, you just fall to the ground Definitely will be trampled to death.

Liang Shoubei was heartbroken. His elite soldiers were trapped here and died one by one. He hated General Hou for being so bad that he had sores on his head and pus on his feet. To be fair, Liang Shoubei was still an official with a conscience and a sense of justice, but His bigger goal this time is to take the opportunity to pull out Yang Qing's power and strengthen himself to become a new military strongman in Datong.

Hou Can is even more sad that his subordinates are elites who are used to battles and have experienced battles. They are horse bandits, and their battlefields should be in the broad grasslands and flat green fields. The infantryman exchanged one-on-one, his heart bleeding and his eyes weeping.

Seeing that a bloody battle was inevitable, Xue Yun immediately organized the archers to go to the room, and rushed up himself. General Hou Can, who had the upper hand in numbers, was pressing against Liang's garrison. Liang saw 300 men fall from both sides. The guards were retreating, Xue Yun gave an order, and more than 100 people in the room shot arrows together, and the men and horses of General Hou on the street below were crowded there, and it was very difficult to move, let alone shoot back with bows and arrows. The whole army became a living target.

When nearly 300 people died, Hou Can will have the hope of victory when he rushed over. Someone shot random arrows on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street. In the blink of an eye, more than 100 people were killed by the arrows. Hou Can is the most elite What he wants is the thousand cavalry old brothers in his hand, which is the capital for him to settle down.

General Hou Can’s subordinates, who said they were never afraid of death, are now experiencing the most painful torture. It turns out that they are also afraid of death. What happened, when Xue Yun and his soldiers shot about the tenth arrow, Hou Can's men finally retreated like a flood.

People in the world say: A tiger is still a tiger wearing sheep's skin, and a sheep is still a sheep wearing tiger skin.The guard soldiers who started the war first, when the cruel battle exhausted their blood, they retreated and finally resumed their sheep nature and began to flee. Yangmen ran.

When Liang Shoubei saw General Hou’s men flinch, he gritted his teeth and threw himself into the soldiers who came behind. Half of the [-] men brought by General Hou died on this street, which was the most humiliating way for cavalry soldiers to die.Of Liang Shoubei's [-] men, only those in their early [-]s survived, and Mr. Lin Qian also died. His death was because he went too far.

Zhao Qianzong, the hero of Marquis General, has since disappeared, and no one knows his whereabouts anymore. Later, some people suspected that when the streets were cleaned, dozens of piles were trampled into mud and flesh, and there was Zhao Qianzong's pile. It is said that this person usually wears the armor of a soldier for fear of becoming the target of others.

Xue Yun and the others chased him all the way to Heyangmen, and Marquis Hou took his confidants and family members to Dongguan outside the city. Lu Yaojin, Wang Bazong and his party went up to the Heyang Gate Tower, standing on the tower and looking at Yuecheng Street in Dongguan, they felt chills in their hearts, this wild monkey fled into Yuecheng, Xue Yun really had nothing to do with him.

The soldiers that can be sent in Datong City are here. The other three sects Wang Qianzong and Huang Qianzong have some soldiers to support Li Baihu. Nothing major happened, but it might not be easy to get people out.

Xue Yun's headquarters is too small, and Xue Yun is reluctant to use them to attack the city. Miss Yu's people may not really be able to command them, even if they are able to command them, they cannot be sent to death. , there are only more than 2000 people in hand, and more than 500 people died, all of them were elites.

At this time, only all the guards were left, but when he thought about the combat power of the guards, Xue Yun's head grew bigger. At this time, Commander Luo of Datong Wei went to Master Zhao, the prefect of Datong Prefecture, and talked in a low voice for a while, Master Zhao, the prefect of Datong Prefecture He came to Xue Yun and said, "The Commander of the Datong Guards asked the subordinate officer to express his feelings. He has already caught the soldiers who caused the trouble, and he wants to ask Master Xue how he plans to deal with them."

Xue Yun thought that it could have been avoided that so many people died, all of them were his compatriots. Why do his own people like to kill each other so much? Now things have turned into this situation.I don't want to go back to the credit, and I can't hold myself accountable.

As soon as Xue Yun thought of Hou Can general's actions, all human beings and gods were all angry. If he tried his best to appease himself in order to protect himself, there was no guarantee that Hou Can general would not rebel in the future. Xue Yun secretly made up his mind to protect more common people from Hou Can For these people's bullying, don't think too much about your personal gains and losses. You must find a way to deal with Marquis Hou and uproot this scum who has mixed into the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
