The generals took a closer look and saw that the speaker was Gao Xidian, the foreign affairs commander. He was originally a hereditary commander in the Guangzhou guard. He was young and didn't know what path he took and how much money he spent. He was in the camp not long ago.
With the addition of a foreign commission. pbtt, it can be regarded as a very small Sesame Official.
One of Liu Fengsheng's confidants coughed: "Brother Gao, you can't say that. When it comes to fighting, none of our brothers have ever been vague. Over the years, we have fought against pirates, fought against Yao barbarians, and leveled bandits... That time was not given by an official from the imperial court.
, the brothers go out with swords and guns. Every brother here is counted as one, and every one of them is not earned with swords and guns, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood." He said, looking sideways at Gao Xidian.
Someone from behind started to shout: "Young and arrogant people."
"You dare to brag even if you haven't been in battle before!"
"act recklessly!".
"Since the commander-in-chief is so loyal and brave, how about letting him lead his troops to meet with the bandits first?"
"If you want to die, don't hold others back."
…
Gao Xidian, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, said loudly: "In that case, Gao is willing to be the vanguard! Please ask the general to order troops to open the ammunition depot. Gao will immediately lead the troops to the stage to supervise the battle! We will fight the Kun thieves to the end in a bloody battle!"
Someone else said in a weird way: "The top commander is always the reincarnation of Wu Mu, a man who is extremely loyal and versatile in both civil and military affairs. When the top commander comes out, he is not allowed to kneel down and ask for surrender!"
Another person laughed and said: "It goes without saying that as soon as General Gao gets on the fort, he can scare away millions of soldiers from the bandits with a loud roar."
"I never imagined that Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide could be born in our Humen Village."
…
Liu Fengsheng's cronies and the officers who had decided to surrender made a noise together, and immediately suppressed Gao Xidian. Most of the other officers were unwilling to go into battle and die and remained silent.
Gao Xidian was so angry that his face turned red. He was just the commander-in-chief of the Foreign Affairs Commission. In addition to three personal soldiers, he only had about a dozen large-scale soldiers. The only ones who could really fight to the death were these three soldiers. Liu Fengsheng
If you don't order troops and don't open the powder storehouse, it won't work even if Zhang Fei reincarnates. He argued with a stiff neck: "Since you are eating the emperor's salary, you must be loyal to the emperor. Humen is the key to Guangzhou. Once it is lost, Guangzhou will be in danger..."
"Well said!" Someone in the originally jovial lobby suddenly roared, and the lobby suddenly became quiet. Liu Fengsheng, who had been keeping a cold face and said nothing, was also startled for a moment, and then looked at the person who came out. pbtt The sneer was expected.
There was a sound.
Liu Fengsheng had expected him to come out to stop him, but it was a bit unexpected that Gao Xidian, a stupid young man, jumped out.
The person who came out was also a Qianzong. He was originally the hereditary commander of the Guangzhou Guards. His surname was Ma Chengzu. He was a high-ranking soldier. Most of the high-ranking officials and soldiers in Guangzhou were from Chenghua and were transferred from Nanjing to suppress the Yao people's riots during the Jiajing period.
My ancestors were all soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty.
Although the number of high-ranking soldiers in Humen Village is not large, they are all natives of Guangzhou and work in a group. Ma Chengzu himself is a hereditary commander with thousands of soldiers in the camp. He is only one level lower than Liu Fengsheng. He is very powerful in Humen Village.
"Gentlemen, you are right! Not to mention that we are all imperial officials and many of us have been favored by the emperor. Let's just say that the Humen pass is the key to entering Guangzhou. If the thieves can easily pass through,
Guangzhou will definitely fall into their hands! Most of us are local aborigines in Guangzhou, how can you just sit back and watch the thieves invade Guangzhou and trap your relatives, friends, fathers and fellow villagers in the fire and war?! Think again!" He said it sincerely!
Yep, I couldn't help but move people, and some people had shaken expressions on their faces.
Someone murmured: "We only have a few men and horses, and the thieves are good at fighting, how can we win..."
"We have to fight even if we can't win. If we can delay here for a while, the city will be more prepared to defend against the enemy. Furthermore, it can also slightly dampen the spirit of the bandits. Even if we die here, we are still worthy of the emperor.
I am worthy of the common people and their families..."
"That's enough!" Liu Fengsheng saw that something was not going well: his eloquent talk might pull some wavering people over. He slapped the table and yelled: "Ma Chengzu! This is Humen Village, I
He is the leader of Humen Village. It is not your turn to point fingers!"
Ma Chengzu sneered and said: "General of Humen Village, you are worthy! You have always flirted with the Kun thieves and colluded secretly. I thought it was just a bad official rule. I didn't expect that when the Kun thieves attacked, you didn't send troops or open the treasury, and you still let people do it.
You are a high-ranking general who serves your country wholeheartedly. His heart is to be punished! I think you want to surrender to the thieves and become a traitor!"
"Bold!" Seeing that he didn't hesitate to show off his face, Liu Fengsheng simply went into battle shirtless, "Left and right! Take it with me!"
The officers in the lobby originally had many of Liu's gang members, and there were also more than a dozen of Liu's personal soldiers and servants in the hall. He had prepared them for this kind of situation. He gave the order, and these people moved towards
Ma Chengzu gathered around him.
Ma Chengzu showed no fear and said: "I knew you had such a hand." After saying that, his face changed and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Liu Fengsheng has rebelled and surrendered to the enemy! Today is the day to serve the country with loyalty!" As he said this, he took out his belt from his waist.
The hidden dagger.
Before he finished speaking, twenty or thirty soldiers suddenly poured into the empty lobby. They rushed towards the lobby brandishing swords and guns - these were Ma Chengzu's personal servants and some senior officers and soldiers. The Liu family relatives in front of the hall
The soldiers were caught off guard and were rushed to pieces. Five or six of them were cut down in an instant. The front of the hall suddenly fell into a melee.
Liu Fengsheng was horrified - he had originally arranged for his nephew Liu Zhipei to lead a hundred men to secretly surround the barracks of Da officers and soldiers, and to massacre these people on the spot if something happened. Now these people suddenly appeared -
He didn't hear the sound of fighting in the direction of the barracks, and it didn't look like they were rushing out.
Before I had time to think about it, the hall was already in chaos. The officers and soldiers below the hall were fighting with each other's soldiers and servants. People fell to the ground in a moment. Except for Liu Fengsheng's cronies, most of the officers in the hall were just drifting with the crowd.
Willing to attack the old Paoze, Ma Chengzu waved his dagger and forced back several soldiers, broke through the siege and rushed towards the dripping eaves. Liu Fengsheng knew that once he rushed out to collect the troops, the Humen Village would be completely out of control. He had promised
The "Xianzhai" was completely ruined! I couldn't help shouting: "Don't leave Ma Chengzu!"
His soldiers and servants all rushed towards Ma Chengzu. Ma Chengzu showed no fear. He leaned against the pillar and brandished a dagger to resist. However, the dagger was short and was no match for the long sword. After a while, he was covered with injuries, and he managed to resist. This
Bian Gao Xidian grabbed a chair and rushed over, waving it all the way. He was young and strong, and he waved the pearwood chair vigorously, forcing several servants back in an instant, and a soldier was accidentally hit by him.
He screamed, vomited blood and fell to the ground. Gao Xidian rushed to Ma Chengzu and said loudly: "Mr. Ma Qian, let's rush out!"
Ma Chengzu had never been in contact with him, but when he saw him risking his own life to come to his rescue, he was moved. Regardless of his injuries, he grabbed a saber on the ground and shouted: "You come to open the way, I will cut off the rear! Rush out and call for help."
The men and horses kill the bandits!"
The two men rushed forward one after another. None of them could resist it. They rushed under the dripping eaves. Gao Xidian was suddenly hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. He was attacked by the servants with swords and guns, and was dead in an instant.
Out of anger, Ma Chengzu took this opportunity to escape from the lobby. The high-ranking officers and soldiers who were fighting in the courtyard burst into cheers, and their morale soared. They all shouted "Kill the thief!". The fight became more and more fierce.
Liu Fengsheng was at a disadvantage here.
Liu Fengsheng secretly complained and cursed where Liu Zhipei had gone? If this continued, he would have no choice but to escape! Seeing that fewer and fewer servants in the yard were dying, he was gradually forced to go up the steps. He was about to run away first.
He said that there was another commotion outside. It turned out that Liu Zhipei's men had arrived. Liu Fengsheng felt relieved and almost couldn't stand and fell to the ground.
The arrival of this new group of troops immediately changed the situation of the battle. The officers and soldiers were surrounded in the courtyard, slashing and stabbing with swords and spears. They were gradually losing ground. Ma Chengzu waved his sword to resist while shouting loudly and commanding the people to rush out. However, the troops who arrived became stronger and stronger.
More and more people came, but fewer and fewer people came here. Ma Chengzu was hit by a few more arrows, staggered, and barely used his gun to support his body. Seeing that there were only a few people around him, Gao Xidian was on the steps.
His head had already been chopped off, and he was picked up with a spear. Knowing that there was no hope of breaking through, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "I have the intention to kill the enemy, but I can't save myself!" Before he could finish his words, two spears stabbed him at the same time, and Ma Chengzu could no longer be seen.
Unable to hold on, he fell to the ground and died. The remaining high-ranking officers and soldiers were also stabbed with swords and spears, and they were all slaughtered.
Liu Fengsheng walked out of the lobby under the escort of his own soldiers and came to the steps. Seeing the corpses on the ground, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened. If Liu Zhipei hadn't arrived in time, the one who fell in the pile of corpses would not be Ma Chengzu but himself!
He hated Ma Chengzu's resistance, which cost him many servants and soldiers, and even several close officers were killed. He said bitterly: "Ma Chengzu and Gao Xidian resisted the heavenly soldiers stubbornly, and it was not a pity to die. They killed all these people's heads."
Cut it down and give orders in front of the stronghold!"
"Here!"
"The whole battalion is going to kill Gao Xidian, Ma Chengzu's personal servants, and the remaining high-ranking officers and soldiers! No one will be spared!" Liu Fengsheng shouted at the top of his lungs.
After the order was given, he turned around and looked at the officers coming out of the lobby.
"Everyone! We brothers are now members of the Great Song Dynasty and the Senate. The leaders have already said that as long as we work with peace of mind, our wealth and honor will be indispensable. If we still have false intentions, this will be the fate of these people!"
The officers following him were all silent, and no one dared to say anything more.
Seeing that there were no more people who were disobeying him, Liu Fengsheng ordered the blue flags prepared in advance to be hung on the flagpoles at the top of Wushan Mountain and in front of Humen Village. He ordered some officers to return to their camps, restrain their men, and wait for the Australians to come and inspect them.
