It turns out that the gangsters also knew that today's ambush plan was on the verge of failure, but they were unwilling to retreat just like that. So a few leaders discussed and decided to make a desperate move, concentrate all their manpower, and launch an attack, hoping to sacrifice one of them.
At the expense of others, he rushed to the front of Muling's army and won in close combat by relying on his strong personal martial arts.
But reality does not change based on human will, and the huge gap between cold weapons and hot weapons cannot be filled by human will. If there are four to five hundred gangsters, they may be able to use the human sea tactic to achieve their goals.
, but it is a pity that there are currently less than eighty people in this group of gangsters, so the outcome of this battle has been doomed from the beginning.
Although the gangsters launched a brave attack on the Muling Army, under the fierce blow of the muskets, it was impossible for them to get close to the Muling Army. Although in terms of personal martial arts, one gangster might be able to defeat two or three
It is a pity that the soldiers of the Muling Army did not get a chance to perform at all. When they were still dozens of steps away from the formation of the Muling Army, they would be knocked down by the projectiles fired from the muskets. The screams also continued one after another.
rang.
In a short time, more than half of the gangsters were dead or wounded, and the remaining gangsters saw that the strong attack was not effective, so they had to retreat again. While everyone in the Jin Yiwei watched with excitement, they were also frightened.
If you can control your muskets like this to the Muling Army, what other army will be able to compete with the Muling Army in the future?
At this moment, Zhou Shaohuan also arrived with a company of soldiers. When the gangsters saw it, they knew that the situation was over. No matter what today, they would not be able to complete their mission, so they immediately retreated and fled, while Mu Ling's army
Although their muskets were powerful, they were long-range strike weapons and could not get close to the enemy. By the time they caught up, the gangsters had already run far away. As a result, not a single prisoner arrived.
On the battlefield just now, there were only a lot of corpses of various shapes left. Although a few gangsters had not yet died, they seemed to be on the verge of death. They could only make weak moans from their mouths.
I couldn't get anything out of my pocket. Therefore, while Shen Yang was happy, he also felt a little regretful.
After the two armies merged, they were all very happy. Under Ye Yaoyao's suggestion, everyone immediately moved to the place where the Muling Army was stationed. Now they are not looking for a suitable place, but camp on the spot. At the same time, those who died in the battle will be killed.
All the corpses of the Jinyi Guards and the dead gangsters were collected. Since no one was caught alive, we could only examine the corpses to see if we could find any clues.
After the camp was set up, Shen Yang immediately decided to leave Zhao Congfu and six Jinyi guards to inspect the corpses in the Muling Army's camp, and he led the other seventeen Jinyi guards to Beijing immediately. Ye Yaoyao also immediately sent Zhou Shaohuan to lead a
Soldiers from the Musket Company protected them all the way. At the same time, Shen Yang also sent people into the city and notified Luo Yangxing.
So when they arrived at the city gate of Beijing, Luo Yangxing personally led more than two hundred Jinyi guards to greet them at the city gate.
Seeing Shen Yang, Liu Zhiyong, and Zhou Wei return safely, Luo Yangxing was surprised and happy to learn that Jinyiwei was attacked on the way back to Beijing and the entire army was almost wiped out. At the same time, he thanked Zhou Shaohuan again and again.
He also promised that it would be easier if they came back, and Shang Yi would definitely be released from prison within three days.
Shang Yi squinted his eyes, only to feel that the long-lost sunlight was very dazzling, and he even felt like he was in a trance. After a while, he finally got used to it, and then he saw clearly that outside the prison gate, Ye Yaoyao and Zhou Shaohuan, Tong Dayong, Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin, Duan Peng and others were all welcoming him.
Although it was only a few days apart, the separation seemed like a lifetime ago. Therefore, when everyone met each other, apart from being happy, they were filled with emotions. Even though Zeng Hualong, who was released from prison together with Shang Yi, had been in officialdom for a long time, But it also feels like a person from two lifetimes.
At this time, the eunuch who was ordered to deliver the order to release the two men from prison said: "You two have come out, and our family's affairs have been completed. Now we have to return to the palace to answer the order. You two, please go back to the post and have a good rest." Right. But tomorrow morning, the emperor will greet you two at Jianji Hall, so be sure not to miss the time."
The two people quickly thanked the eunuch, and the family members of Ye Yaoyao and Zeng Hualong had already prepared silver coins and sent them over immediately. The eunuch took the banknotes with a happy look on his face and gave them to them. The man bowed his hands, and then left with a group of eunuchs and captains under his command.
Before leaving, Zhao Congfu, who was brought with the eunuch, said to Shang Yi: "Master Shang, you have just been released from prison. Please have a good rest tonight. We will come to see you after you have met the emperor."
Shang Yi also nodded and said: "I am able to be released from prison this time thanks to Shen Tongzhi and Zhao Zhenfu. When I have some free time, I will visit you and thank you in person."
Then the two of them said goodbye. Zeng Hualong frowned slightly. He was a traditional official with a strong sense of morality and had no good impression of Jin Yiwei. Therefore, seeing the close relationship between Shang Yi and Jin Yiwei, he felt a little unhappy. After Zhao Congfu left, he said to Shang Yi: "Shang Yi, you are still young, and having too many contacts with people in the health factory will only be harmful to you."
Shang Yi was quite dissatisfied with Zeng Hualong's words. In fact, most officials at this time may not be much better than Jin Yiwei, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he had to say: "What you said is that we can get out of prison this time." , but it is all the result of their father-in-law’s feedback, so I have to show a little closeness to them. After I leave the capital, I will definitely stop interacting with them."
Zeng Hualong nodded, feeling that what Shang Yi said was reasonable, so he said nothing more. After returning to Guanyi, the two of them separated and went back to their residences to rest.
After returning to his residence, Ye Yaoyao transferred another platoon of soldiers to Beijing just in case, leaving one squad to guard Guanyi, while the rest stayed in an inn near Guanyi.
Since they were all one of their own now, there was nothing to hide when they spoke. Shang Yi then met Luo Yangxing in prison and learned from him that the person who had slandered him was Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, and what he had done with his tricks. Reasons to taint yourself.
Everyone was filled with indignation after hearing this. They did not expect that they had fought to the death with the Qin army to achieve military exploits, but Zhou Yanru, for his own personal gain, did not hesitate to confuse right and wrong, cover up the truth, and even planned to kill Shang Yi. Therefore, they all scolded him. Zhou Yanru and Duan Peng even threatened that if the court did not punish Zhou Yanru, they would simply stop serving as officials and go back to form their own militia.
Only then did Ye Yaoyao tell Shang Yi in detail how they met Jin Yiwei and rescued Jin Yiwei on the way to the camp. After listening to her story, Shang Yi was also shocked. There was actually someone who dared to do so on the way.
Robbery and killing of Jin Yiwei. It seems that this whole thing is getting more and more complicated. Therefore, at such a critical moment, someone robbed and killed Jin Yiwei who returned to Beijing, and it was near Beijing. I am afraid it is definitely not an accident. Could it be this robbery and murder?
Is Zhou Yanru behind the scenes? If this is the case, then Zhou Yanru is too courageous. Maybe he will do something else. It seems that Beijing is indeed a place of right and wrong, so he should hurry up as soon as possible
It’s best to leave. Although Mulinguan is small, it is still one-third of an acre of land.
Everyone talked for a while, and then ordered a sumptuous table of wine and food from outside to celebrate Shang Yi's release from prison. It was not until evening that they all dispersed. Shang Yi and Ye Yaoyao also returned to their rooms.
After washing, Ye Yaoyao said: "Brother, you have to go to see the emperor tomorrow, so go to bed early today."
Shang Yi nodded, held Ye Yaoyao in his arms, and said: "Yao Yao, I've really worried you these past few days. You must have worried a lot about my affairs. I don't know how to thank you."
.”
Ye Yaoqi leaned in his arms and said with a smile: "Brother, look at what you said, we are husband and wife. These things are what we should do, so how can we get thanked? And I actually didn't do anything.
It was Jin Yiwei and the others who rushed back and got my brother out of prison safely. Even if he saved them halfway, it was just a coincidence."
Shang Yi kissed her forehead gently and said: "I'm not saying this, but in order to save me, you were even prepared to go to prison. Now that I think about it, I'm a little scared. It's worth letting you do it for me."
Do you want to do something so risky?"
Ye Yaoyao raised her head from Shang Yi's arms, looked at Shang Yi with a pair of autumn eyes, and said: "As long as it is for my brother, I will do anything. If my brother is gone, I will never live alone.
.”
After hearing this, Shang Yi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. In fact, he married Ye Yaoyao not entirely out of love for her. One third of it was because of Ye Yaoyao's beauty, and the other half was because of pity for her life experience. Only
50% is love. After getting married, although he loved Ye Yaoyao very much without restraint, this was partly because of the responsibilities of marriage, and partly because Shang Yi still had modern concerns and did not think that women were only for men.
As a vassal, he not only respected Ye Yaoqi, but also gave her considerable freedom.
But Shang Yi didn't expect that he was so important in Ye Yaoyao's heart that even if she had an accident, she would not want to live alone. Although this was due to the concept of women in this era, it also moved Shang Yi very much. Therefore,
He tightened his arms and hugged her tightly, saying: "Silly girl, you won't be allowed to do this again next time. If anything happens to me, you must live well."
Ye Yaoqi felt very sweet in her heart after hearing this. She hugged Shang Yi tightly and said, "To have a brother like me, whatever I do for him will be worth it."
