Chapter 93 Yangzhou, must not be repeated
Lu Si was also a little "stunned". Although he knew that Baoying City did not have much resistance, it was far beyond his expectations to seize the city so easily.
He was ready to fall at least a hundred people while climbing the ladder. However, from beginning to end, he did not see a naked man falling like a kite with a "ah" sound.
Raising ladders, climbing ladders, climbing walls...
The process of seizing the city was so easy and simple, and even a bit ridiculous. There was no life-and-death struggle, no wailing screams, and the intensity was not even as intense as that of the clan armed battles in the countryside.
The performance of the defending party in the city was really speechless. Apart from hiding behind the battlements and throwing stones underneath at the beginning, he almost did nothing.
If so, Lu Si vaguely saw a man using the long stick in his hand to try to push down the ladder on the city, but after pushing it a few times without pushing it, the man threw the long stick down and then he never saw him again.
The performance of the defending party is extremely ridiculous. In addition to the courage shown by the siege party is worthy of recognition, the other aspects are also extremely ridiculous.
Lu Si was quite speechless.
The naked men who had climbed the city didn't know if they were drunk or if they felt that climbing the city wall was decided. They shouted excitedly, not chasing and expelling nearby "enemy". Instead, they gathered together on the battlements and shouted at the people and ghosts below, and they didn't know what they were calling.
The defending side of the city did not seize this opportunity to counterattack, but instead scattered, which was very shocking.
Lu Si couldn't help but sigh, no wonder that peasant uprisings in all dynasties quickly achieved "prosperous" results in the early stages of peasant uprisings, because in the early stages, their enemies were weaker than them.
As long as the number of people is suppressed, the counties without garrisons are almost unprepared for the rebels.
If you are really bold, you can get there.
...........
The first "thief" who had just turned over the city, the city walls were completely mixed up. Although Guo Dianshi tried his best to organize resistance and drove the "thief" down, the "thief" who were called "thief" in Chitiao Shangcheng was frightened and did not dare to resist at all.
Besides, I really can't resist. The "thieves" are holding a knife. What are they holding?
What's more, after I heard that the thief broke the city, they only killed officials, gentry and big families, so what does it have to do with them?
"The thief has entered the city, the thief has entered the city!"
A large group of young men threw the wooden sticks sent to them by the county government on the city, ran down the city without looking back, shouting while running.
Some people with a brain were running around in the city with headless flies, and those with a spirit were going home directly. Some people with a big heart even took off their clothes and covered them with quilt. It had nothing to do with him when the sky fell.
Baoying is lost, and it is a real destiny.
After Fu'an Chen Dajiang, who was a mistress in the inspection department, went up to the city, he scolded a group of drunken guys who were bragging, and then quickly led people down to the city to open the city gate.
Cheng Lin, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately brought his Fengziying into the city. After entering the city with his experience in seizing Huai'an City, Fengziying immediately divided his troops to control the entire city.
The entire battle to break the city took half an hour, with single digits of casualties.
One person died and one person was injured when one defended the city.
The deceased was a constable whose body was crushed by shells and crushed by a shell, while the injured fell into the city and rolled down while escaping.
One person was killed and two people were injured in the Huai Army.
The deceased asked a brick to hit the forehead and died on the spot, but the injured was hit by an iron pot falling from the head of his fellow companions in the city, which was "accidentally injured".
The iron pot has nothing to fix. If it is pressed on the head, it will definitely shake left and right. If it is not careful, it will naturally hit the person below.
On the other side of Huai'an Prefecture, there was an adjudicator named Jin who jumped to sacrifice himself for the officialdom, while on the other side of Baoying County, there was no official who died for the Ming Dynasty.
Even after he strongly advocated the resistance of the "Fourth Master" Guo Dianshi, he did not draw his sword and wiped his neck, but leaned alone in the corner under the city wall, looking desperately at the "bandits" who were rushing into the city under the "Huai" army.
Guo Dianshi was finally discovered by a few drunken ghosts. When these guys saw Guo Dianshi wearing official uniforms, they did not think about capturing this person to receive the reward, but rushed forward and looted Guo Dianshi, and took the pieces of broken silver and searched for wine shops everywhere. Rebellion and seizing the city, such a major thing that they had never done in their lives, was worth finding a place to blow for a while.
This fact also proves that Huai'an wine is good and good.
County Magistrate Huang was not moving. When he was raised and dragged to the city to present it to Chief Lu, the County Magistrate Huang seemed to have a stroke, motionless, and his eyes looked like dementia.
"official?"
Lu Si waved his hand after taking a look. Sun Wujin drew his sword without saying a word and gave the scared County Magistrate Huang a knife.
County Magistrate Qian listened to the advice of his master Song Gong in time, that was, while the thieves had not found them, they quickly disguised themselves as the people and hid somewhere in the city, and waited for the storm to relax and then quietly left the city.
However, what Magistrate Qian never expected was that he and Master Song had just disguised themselves and were hugged by several yamen runners. Then several yamen runners collaborated to tie the magistrate out and shouted at a team of thieves who were driving over: "Hero, we have tied the magistrate!"
Magistrate Qian regretted his regret before being executed, so he shouldn't have listened to Guo Dianshi's words, saying that the whole city would rather die than surrender.
He begged for his life to forgive him, but no one gave him another chance. He accepted his fate and knew that he could not escape death. The only regret was that a group of thieves actually took his calligraphy and painting works seriously and directly lit them.
The city was in chaos, and with the orders given by Lu Si, the "drunks" began to loot the whole city.
Of course, the goal is those who are allowed.
Fengziying controls the whole city. Who has fame and fortune, who is a big family, and who invests and supports the county government to guard the city. It is not a problem to verify these things.
Like Zhang Shiyuan's family in Huai'an City, there were thousands of corpses hidden in Baoying City after nightfall, with all the families killed, and only women and children left.
This is not something that can be considered. In addition to using this to stimulate the Huai Army to follow them, dare to fight to the death, and kill all the officials and gentry and the large urban families, it is also conducive to the stability of the Huai Army's front.
Otherwise, if these people are left, the main force of the Huai Army will probably be immediately in a state of chaos when they leave.
Is Li Zicheng's lesson not profound enough?
The successful capture of Baoying City also greatly encouraged the morale of the Southern Army. Although this morale was based on the fact that Baoying City was actually "unprepared" and it was still the first city that the Huai Army truly captured by force.
Baoying is a must-pass place between Yangzhou and Huai'an, and is of great significance to the connection between the two places. Sheyang Lake in its territory is well connected, connecting both Yangzhou, Yancheng, and Huai'an. It has extremely important military value in the water town of Huaiyang.
Controlling Sheyang Lake can ensure the smooth flow of the Huai Army's transportation line. If the canal team is upgraded to a naval army in the future, it can also cooperate with the army's operations. Just like Han Shizhong of the Southern Song Dynasty resisted the Jin Dynasty, Lu Si would definitely not give up Baoying City. So he decided to leave a team of troops to guard the place and set out to prepare the Huai Army's naval army in Sheyang Lake.
If history cannot be changed, the Huai Army will always be one step slower. In the future, the Huai Army will definitely fight the Qing army to the decisive battle in Huaiyang.
