Chapter 146: United as one

The total number of people on Yue Su's side can be about 500, but the Dragon Slayer Gang does have 1,500 people. There is a huge disparity in strength. Fortunately, when the three rounds of muskets in front came down, they could overthrow 300 people.

number, bringing the strength of both sides closer a little bit.

When Hun Sen saw that all the gunmen on the roof jumped down and fled to the flower hall, he immediately ordered his men to organize and attack the gun array.

The defensive gun array is very powerful and extremely difficult to break, and the soldiers are well-trained and are not afraid of the rebels who are rushing up. Especially the Governor is right behind them, fighting side by side with them, so the soldiers are even more courageous.

Multiply.

The rebels on the opposite side had a large number of people, and Hun Sen had issued a huge bounty, so he was also very brave. But fighting depends not only on the number of people, but also on the courage. This is not a street fight, a reckless confrontation, the opponent is a regular army.

It is impossible to pull up one thousand two hundred people in one breath. The people at the back cannot line up at all. The people in the front almost fall over one after another. Your knife cuts on the shield and cannot pose a threat to the opponent, but

The spear behind the shield can stab you into a candied haws with one thrust.

Seeing that something was wrong, Hun Sen was worried. How many people would die if the fight continued like this. However, he also had the talent of a general. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea. Yue Su could take advantage of the geographical advantage, and so could I. He immediately ordered, "Behind

People, come to my room and throw tiles into the gun formation."

This idea was a good one. Those who couldn't get in front of the gun array climbed up to the roofs of the two wings. However, the wings on both sides were closer or farther from the gun array, so the closer distance was needed.

Only by throwing the roof tiles into the gun array.

The roof tiles were smashed in, which was really a headache. The gun formation was originally flawless, but this time it was better. Many people's heads were smashed.

When Yue Su saw that the situation was not good, his men would not be able to hold on if they were so guarded for a while, so he had to order to charge forward. The shield bearer in the first row of the gun formation drew out his steel knife and held up his shield.

Rushing forward, the pikemen behind them circled out from one side and charged towards the enemy with their flat-ended spears. The rebels were caught off guard, and those standing in front fell down one after another.

These are all subjects of daily training and can be used to deal with various situations. When Hun Sen saw the officers and soldiers switching from defense to attack, he was overjoyed. He had more people. He was not afraid of the officers and soldiers rushing out, but was afraid that the officers and soldiers would stand firm. He immediately ordered his men to rush forward.

Fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.

The two sides quickly came together and fought together. Even so, the officers and soldiers were able to keep five people standing together to form a small formation and strangle the enemy.

The yard was in chaos, and the cries of killing were endless. As a result, the rebels on the roof had no use. They had no bows and arrows, and the firecracker they picked up was just a firecracker, without any gunpowder.

There is no lead, and there is no knife to use yet. If you throw the tiles down again, the two sides will be intertwined, and it is easy to accidentally injure them, so forget it. So, you can only jump down and join the battle group.

The fighting between the two sides became more intense. The battle started at Chen hour and lasted until Si hour. At the beginning of the melee, Yue Su's army guards did not suffer a loss and could still take advantage. However, the further the fight went on, the numerical advantage of the rebels became apparent.

You must know that the rebels are at the back, and some are too old to be helped. If one dies in the front, one can be replaced in the back. On the other hand, if one of the officers and soldiers dies, there will be no one to replace them, and the formation of five people will be scattered.

The battle is still going on, which means that Yue Su's soldiers and horses are elite. If it had been replaced by other troops, it would have been almost over. The rebels have now died another two hundred, and Yue Su's side has also died over a hundred.

It is estimated that if the fighting continues, the casualty ratio will change.

The fighting was in full swing inside, and no one noticed that 200 people sneaked into the governor's wish. This group of people were all wearing black robes, and they looked very much like Dongchang fans, but they were not from Dongchang.

, but there are only a few who have worked in Dongchang. The leader is Tian Ergen, who came to reinforce Yue Su on Wei Zhongxian's order. Wei Eunuch has been the governor for the past few years and has really saved a lot of money.

Tian Ergeng and the others came in through the side door. After entering, they first sent a sentry to investigate inside, and the group behind them slowly advanced. The shouts of killing were so loud that it could be said that you could find the fighting place with your eyes closed. The sentry came back soon.

Reporting the battle situation inside to Tian Ergen, "Master, the rebels are strong inside. It is estimated that Lord Yue's army will be wiped out by noon."

"I got it." Tian Ergen nodded and said: "Wait a little longer, the adoptive father said that the time agreed upon by Mr. Yue and him was three quarters past three o'clock. Now it's just past three o'clock. I expected Mr. Yue to insist on another three quarters of an hour.

There shouldn't be any problem. There is a house over here, let's wait inside first to avoid leaking our traces, and when the time comes, we can go over and help Mr. Yue."

The people below agreed and followed Tian Ergeng into the house on the side.

In a large house not far from the governor's residence.

In the flower hall of this house, there sat a middle-aged man who thought he could be forty years old. The middle-aged man had no beard, but he looked majestic at that time. This man was none other than Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Guard. With this skill,

A young man ran in, knelt down on one knee and said, "I would like to report to you, father-in-law, that there are rebels who have entered Lord Yue's governor's palace. There are many rebels, about one thousand fourteen to five hundred in total."

"So many people." After hearing the report, Cao Huachun couldn't help but stand up, frowning deeply, and said: "Remember last time that Yue Su only had five or six hundred people around him? Can he cope with so many rebels?

"

"I think it's embarrassing. Just now, I ordered someone to sneak into the camp and bring back the information inside soon," the man said.

"Well, let's wait a little longer." Cao Huachun nodded and then said, "Gather all our people together."

"Father, what are you..." the man asked in confusion.

"No need to ask any more questions, just do what you should do." Cao Huachun said in a deep voice.

"Yes, father-in-law." The man hurried out and did what he had to do.

When Cao Huachun came to Huzhou this time, he did not bring too many people. He only brought more than a hundred elites from the Royal Horse Prison. After all, they were not here to see the scenery. They also had a mission to wait for an opportunity to assassinate Yue Su. Yue Su was surrounded by guards like clouds.

There are not enough people to bring, so Eunuch Cao brought so many people. Having said that, as Eunuch Cao is traveling such a long distance, he cannot be without the guards around him.

The man went out to gather his men. Cao Huachun sat back on his chair, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip of tea. Considering the current situation, his task was to investigate whether Yue Su had the intention to rebel. If the evidence was conclusive, he would assassinate Yue Su privately. From now on

Judging from the investigation, there is no evidence that Yue Su rebelled, but now Yue Su is besieged by rebels. Your Excellencies are all loyal to the emperor. When encountering such a thing, you should help each other, but there are so many rebels.

, If I go, will I have enough people? But if I don’t go, wouldn’t it be equivalent to sitting back and watching Lord Yue die?

After thinking for a long time, at this moment, the man who had just gone out to gather his men came in, and beside him, there was a young man. The two of them knelt down to salute, "Father, the people and horses have been assembled, and the people who have inquired from the Governor's Yamen are also here."

Back."

"What's going on inside now?" Cao Huachun asked.

"Returning to my father-in-law..." the young man replied: "Master Yue seems to have been prepared for a long time. He ambush the gunmen on the wall and gave the rebels a head-on attack. However, the rebels were outnumbered and now the two sides have entered into a melee.

, after a while, Mr. Yue may not be able to resist it."

"Oh..." Cao Huachun took a long breath and said, "I understand. No wonder Yue Su transferred the soldiers and horses guarding the Yamen. It turned out that he wanted to use his body as bait to lure the rebels out. But the rebels'

His strength is too great, Master Yue probably didn't expect it. He is also working for the emperor, so we should support each other, pass on our orders, go to the governor's palace, and help Yue Su."

"Father, there are thousands of rebels. We only have so few people on hand. I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket... Besides... our mission is not..." the man said carefully.

"Hmph." Cao Huachun snorted coldly, stood up, and said: "Our family is not afraid. What do you have to fear? Since we serve the emperor, we should dedicate ourselves to the emperor." As he said this, Cao Huachun walked out of the hall and arrived.

At the door of Dehua Hall, he said loudly: "No need to talk nonsense, it is our family that has the final say here and sends troops."

He was the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Guards, so naturally he had the final say. The man under his command did not dare to say anything. He got up with the young man and followed Cao Huachun to lead a group of Royal Horse Guards to the governor's residence.

Coincidentally, they also walked through the side door, which happened to be the place where Tian Ergeng and the others passed by just now. Tian Ergeng and the others were still hiding in the wing room. Waiting for time, Cao Huachun's passing by just caught Tian Ergen's attention.

.

Cao Huachun's men did not stop and walked directly inside. After waiting for the people to leave, a man in black in the room whispered: "Master, where did this group of people come from? Do you think they are Lord Yue's helpers or rebels?"

?”

Tian Ergen's expression was solemn at this moment, because he knew Cao Huachun and had met him back then. Even after so many years, it was easier to recognize him as a eunuch at that time. Tian Ergen said puzzledly: "He is Cao Huachun. I heard from his adoptive father that he was

I was ordered to come to Huzhou. Why are you going to the governor's residence at this critical moment? Are you here to help Mr. Yue?"

"It seems that Mr. Yue is quite popular, and people in the palace are also coming to help him." The man in black robe said carefully.

"But when they come, we will be in more trouble. Cao Huachun should know me. If I come forward, he will immediately guess that his adoptive father is here, and then he will realize that Mr. Yue and his adoptive father have some connections. This pair of adoptive fathers

Neither Mr. Yue nor Mr. Yue are good." Tian Ergen shook his head and said.

"That's no problem. Master, it's okay if you don't come forward in person. When the time comes, the brothers will go over to help. Cao Huachun doesn't know what we do." The man in black robe said.

"That's fine. By the way, our original plan was to apply for Shangdongchang's name, but we don't need it now." Tian Ergen said.

"I understand, little one."

Tian Ergeng recognized Cao Huachun here and told his men not to reveal his identity to avoid making Cao Huachun suspicious. At this moment, Cao Huachun had already rushed to Zhongjin Courtyard with the masters of the Royal Horse Supervisor. With a wave of his hand, his men killed him directly.

Got in.

Although there are only about a hundred people, the Royal Horse Supervisor is in charge of the Forbidden Army, and the ones Cao Huachun brought this time are all top players in the Forbidden Army. They are many times stronger than ordinary soldiers. These people suddenly killed, it is really

The rebels were thrown into confusion, especially when Cao Huachun ordered his men to shout loudly as soon as they took action, "The Imperial Guards from Yuma Prison are coming for reinforcements, Master Yue, don't panic!"

This voice was quite frightening and shocked the rebels. Many people panicked. Hun Sen was also surprised and thought to himself, no wonder Yue Su was so calm and composed. It turned out that he had another killer move and joined forces with the imperial horse.

The imperial guards from the prison came to help, and this was a bad situation.

Although the rebels were in chaos for a while, the people brought by Hun Sen this time were all the main force of the Dragon Slayer Gang. They were not afraid of death and forcibly blocked this wave of impact. It was soon discovered that there were not many enemies.

Just these one hundred numbers.

So, someone immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid of them, they are just bluffing. There are only a hundred people, brothers, fight with them."

Now more than half of Yue Su's men have been killed or wounded, and the rebels are not much stronger, with only 800 people left. With Cao Huachun's reinforcements, no matter how many people there are, it can boost a lot of morale. The two sides are once again locked in a deadly battle.

As time passed little by little, it was already three minutes before my eyes.

Cao Huachun was standing at the side entrance of the Huating Courtyard, with only a dozen guards around him. He was watching the battle carefully. Looking at the situation in front of him, even if the enemy was outnumbered, it would not be a big disadvantage, but it was estimated that the rebels would still have the upper hand before long.

I just hope Master Yue has another plan.

Just as he was thinking about it, the latter really came. Suddenly, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps as Cao Huachun was wearing it, and it seemed that many people were rushing over. Cao Huachun's guards were shocked, but now, they couldn't go anywhere.

However, Cao Huachun was obviously calm and calm, and said calmly: "Don't be nervous. If my guess is correct, it should be Lord Yue's reinforcements arriving. Let's step aside and let them in." After saying that, Cao Huachun took the initiative to move away from the door.

Soon, a group of men in black robes rushed over. They knew that they were also helpers, so they ignored them and rushed directly into the courtyard. The original plan was to shout loudly to Dongchang to come for reinforcements after entering the hospital. Now because of Cao Huachun,

, to avoid causing trouble, he shouted instead, "Master Yue, don't panic, reinforcements are coming to kill you."

It can be said that if Dongchang shouted this, the rebels would probably be scared to death, and they would immediately fall into chaos. If they didn't shout like this at that time, the rebels could barely hold on. The previous situation was 400 vs. 8

One hundred, plus Wei Zhongxian's two hundred people, it immediately became six hundred versus eight hundred, and the balance of victory and defeat was instantly balanced.

The most important thing is that Master Yue's men, the Royal Horse Supervisor's men and Wei Zhongxian's men are all elite, and their strength is already greater than that of the rebels of the Dragon Slayer Gang. It is estimated that with this advantage in numbers, they will all be found soon.

By that time, the Dragon Slayer Gang will definitely be defeated.
