Chapter 761 Lonely Fireworks
Chapter 757 Lonely Fireworks
Martial law has been imposed in Datong City.
Only the soldiers were patrolling in groups.
Each household was not allowed to leave their homes. In case of an emergency, such as someone's death or a serious illness, they could seek help, but they were not allowed to leave their homes without permission.
The Jinyiwei were also patrolling.
The defenders were in the streets, they were in the alleys.
"Watch out here." The captain led a few of his men to the entrance of an alley. "The guy we chased last time was lost here. If things go wrong... Hey!"
The captain was suddenly startled, pointed at a house and asked, "Why is the door open?"
At this time, a roar came from the alley, "Mother of the Unborn, the hometown of the Vacuum! For the Holy Religion, I will not hesitate to die!"
The captain's face changed drastically, "It's the White Lotus Sect!"
"Captain, do you want to suppress it?" someone asked.
"What a bullshit!" The captain turned around and ran away.
Even if a few of them rushed in, they would not be enough to defeat those lunatics.
The centurion rushed to the street and saw a group of cavalry coming. He waved and the cavalry came over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Hurry up and go to the General's Mansion to inform General Zhang that there is a White Lotus sect causing chaos in the city! Quick!"
"What? The White Lotus?"
The northwest was the base camp of the White Lotus Sect, and the cavalrymen turned around upon hearing the news.
The captain looked back in the direction of the alley, his lips trembling, "God, if there is chaos in the city at this time, the army... the army will be in chaos. If Altan takes advantage of the situation and attacks again, we will surely be defeated in this battle."
Da da da!
More than ten cavalrymen galloped past an intersection. After they rushed past, Zhou Yuanshan came out. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he turned around and waved.
One by one, men carrying weapons rushed out of the alley.
One hundred, two hundred...
three hundred……
Seven hundred people!
This is the confidence of the White Lotus Sect in Datong City.
These 700 men usually looked for opportunities to train and were loyal to the Holy Church. Zhou Yuanshan was ready to lead them to raid the General's Mansion.
He had already checked that there were 300 soldiers guarding the General's Mansion, and the rest were patrolling and investigating in the city. With deliberate planning, 700 soldiers could break through the General's Mansion with a surprise attack.
At the same time, Yang Xun instigated the believers to set fires everywhere, attack granaries and other key places, and create chaos.
The last step is to drive the followers to wreak havoc!
That's right, it's rampant.
When those crazy followers are furious, they will kill anyone they see, burn, kill, and loot...
These are what Zhao Quan said.
It would be best to kill Datong into hell.
In this way, not only will Altan Khan win, but Zhao Quan will also have a powerful army that has been tempered by killing.
Zhou Yuanshan was stunned for a moment until someone asked, "Mr. Zhou, what are you waiting for?"
I'm waiting for conscience... Zhou Yuanshan touched his chest and smiled bitterly, "Do it!"
Seven hundred people began to run.
The cavalrymen galloped all the way to the general's residence, dismounted and rushed in.
"General Zhang! General Zhang!"
"What's the matter?" Zhang Da was outside the lobby.
"The Jinyiwei sent word that there are members of the White Lotus Sect in the city plotting a rebellion."
Zhang Da was startled, then shouted, "Block the streets, and kill anyone who comes out without permission! Tell them, they are not civilians, they are lunatics!"
"Leader!"
The cavalrymen rushed out of the general's mansion and went in all directions.
Zhang Da stood there and suddenly remembered something. "My uncle once told me to be careful of those wealthy merchants who are causing trouble. The General's Mansion must be their target. I didn't expect that the wealthy merchants didn't make a move, but the evil people of the White Lotus Sect came. Be alert!"
Three hundred elite soldiers gathered.
Bow and arrow in hand, spear in hand...
There were hurried footsteps coming from a distance.
"coming."
Zhang Da stood at the gate of the General's Mansion and said coldly: "I'm lucky!"
If the Jinyiwei had not delivered the message in time, he felt that he would have been doomed today.
"For the sake of the Holy Religion, kill!"
When he saw the general's mansion, Zhou Yuanshan raised his knife and shouted.
Seeing this, the two soldiers outside the general's mansion ran inside.
Inside the door, Zhang Da narrowed his eyes and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife.
Behind him, three hundred brave soldiers were ready to go.
Like most cities of this era, the widest roads in the city are the two avenues extending from the four city gates.
The general's mansion is not far from the intersection of the two avenues.
The transportation is convenient, but the business is not very developed, so it is not a livable area.
When Zhou Yuanshan raised his knife and shouted, there was a crackling sound coming from the doors of the surrounding houses.
"It's the White Lotus!"
"It's over, Datong is over!"
"Mother, hurry up and prepare the things. Where is the kitchen knife? Where is the kitchen knife?"
"The demons from the White Lotus Sect are coming, hide quickly."
Every time the White Lotus Religion started an uprising, there would always be a bloody storm. At first, it was the White Lotus Religionists who killed people, and later it was the soldiers who killed people. Especially the soldiers, they killed people indiscriminately.
There were some wrong kills, but no mistakes.
Therefore, when the people heard the word "holy teaching", they were more terrified than when they heard that Altan's army was entering the city.
This fear comes more from the purge of officers and soldiers afterwards.
"Datong...is over!" Zhou Yuanshan stood where he was, watching those crazy followers rushing towards the general's mansion.
He glanced back.
The first fireworks have risen in the south of the city.
Yang Xun also started to take action.
The General's Office was clearly unprepared.
Capture the General's Mansion and create chaos...
This is his mission.
Zhou Yuanshan looked at the north gate and whispered, "The Holy Church will cleanse the city first, and then Altan's army will enter the city and cleanse it again. How many people will be left in Datong after that? Those people who were killed... those who died, could they go to the paradise?"
"Master, is this what you want?" As the first member of the sect rushed into the general's mansion, Zhou Yuanshan closed his eyes in pain.
"not good!"
The exclamation was followed by a scream.
Zhou Yuanshan opened his eyes and saw the believers who had just rushed in staggering out with several arrows stuck in their bodies. But the followers who followed were like a tide, pushing him forward again.
A wave of arrows flew out from the main gate of the General's Mansion, and many of the believers who were rushing in fell down. One after another, the brave soldiers in armor rushed out of the General's Mansion.
Rows of soldiers, with spears held horizontally, trotted towards the believers.
Those believers shouted "paradise" fearlessly and flew towards the spears like moths, and were immediately pierced together. This reminded Zhou Yuanshan of the experience when he was a child, when he caught grasshoppers and strung them together by passing dogtail grass through the back of their necks.
After several waves of attacks, a pile of corpses fell outside the general's mansion. Those who were not dead were screaming, and some were shouting that they were ascending to the paradise, with joy in their eyes.
"So, as long as people have hope, they can be fearless and not afraid of death?" Zhou Yuanshan watched this scene and forgot everything. He took out the medical book and threw it on the ground.
"As long as the army is brave enough to face death, there is still hope for the Ming Dynasty."
"Let the army believe in the Holy Religion, let them go crazy, let them not fear death, let them..." Zhou Yuanshan suddenly smiled bitterly, "If the army is crazy, then who will restrain them?"
"It doesn't work?" Zhou Yuanshan said disappointedly: "What else does the Holy Religion have? Only the so-called paradise is left. But who has ever seen the paradise?"
"If you can go to paradise after death, then what's the point of living? It's better to die."
"But why are the leader and his men still alive and have taken refuge with Altan?"
"Do they believe there is a paradise? If they do, why did they help Altan Khan attack the Ming Dynasty?"
"Why?"
Zhou Yuanshan covered his head and said painfully, "Since there is a paradise, why do you help the tyrants? Why do you want to join the alien race? Yes, the leader said that all people in the world are one, brothers and sisters. That's not right! That's not right!"
"If all people in the world are one, then why did the leader go to the grassland? It would be fine if he went to the grassland, but why did he want to make plans in Ming Dynasty? Why did he do this? To preach? He can preach on the grassland. Since all people in the world are brothers and sisters, why doesn't he go somewhere else to preach? Why does he have to be so stubborn and want to destroy Ming Dynasty? Why?"
"No!" Zhou Yuanshan looked up at the sky.
A soldier suddenly jumped up in front of him, and his long sword flashed sharply in the sunlight.
Zhou Yuanshan looked at the sky, "That's not preaching, that's for desire! I... was wrong!"
The knife flashed and the head fell to the ground.
There was a look of relief on his face.
The headless corpse stood there and was kicked down by the sergeant.
In the distance, fireworks rose.
Yang Xun shouted excitedly: "Light a fire, light a fire on every house you see, and set the whole Datong city on fire!"
The sound of horse hooves came.
Yang Xun turned around slowly.
Hundreds of riders were turning from the street ahead.
The cavalrymen on horseback looked grim, their long swords raised high...
"kill!"
……
After learning that the baggage had been burned, Altan ordered his men to launch a fierce attack.
"After we capture Datong City, there will be a mountain of food and fodder in the city, enough for us to eat for half a year."
Altan's guards were shouting everywhere.
"Burn our boats!" Zhao Quan whispered.
"Yes. This is the only way now." Ma Tianlu smiled bitterly, "By the way, should we start the movement in the city?"
Zhao Quan nodded, "It's time to take action now."
"Khan, it seems that the defenders of Datong can no longer hold on." Meng Xian keenly discovered that the Ming army's defense line began to waver.
Altan said in a deep voice: "The timing is perfect, Zhao Quan."
"Khan!" Zhao Quan came over.
"Almost?"
"Yes." Zhao Quan nodded, "It's time for them to take action now."
"But what about the fireworks?" Alden asked.
Zhao Quan said: "Maybe... Great Khan! Look!"
Altan followed his arm and looked forward.
A wisp of smoke appeared in the sky above Datong City.
"Good!" Altan was delighted, "Prepare for the general attack."
If the outcome cannot be decided today, his subordinates will feel desperate knowing that their baggage has been destroyed.
In just one night, his invincible army will be reduced to nomads.
When they saw the army, the herdsmen just fled.
and so!
The winner will be decided today!
A major factor supporting Altan's decision was the uprising of the White Lotus Sect in the city.
Once the uprising succeeds, the Ming army will inevitably be in chaos!
No matter how many tricks Jiang Qingzhi had, he would be helpless at that time.
Smoke rose.
Altan raised his hand.
Just wave your hand and the army will charge forward.
Jiang Qingzhi also discovered this.
"There's a fire in the city!" Yan Song turned around with a stern expression.
"Don't worry!" Jiang Qingzhi smiled, "I have already made arrangements."
"The enemy is gathering!" said Du He.
"An Da is trying to take advantage of the situation to launch a general attack." Jiang Qingzhi's eyes lit up, "Drag any longer... bring on some more smoke and dust!"
Yan Song felt extremely uneasy and looked back frequently.
"what!"
Yan Song suddenly asked, "Why is it gone?"
Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "Is this what Altan relies on?"
"Khan, it's gone!"
Meng Xian watched the smoke being quickly blown away by the autumn wind.
And afterwards, there was no further movement.
Altan looked at Zhao Quan.
Zhao Quan stared blankly at Datong City.
"Where are my disciples?"
In front of the general's mansion, the head was next to the medical book, and the flowing blood soaked half of the book.
Those eyes were looking to the south.
In the south of the city, Yang Xun knelt down and shouted: "I am willing to surrender!"
The cavalry galloped past.
The sword light flashed, and the head fell to the ground.
"The general has ordered that in this emergency, kill without mercy!"
"Don't leave any one alive! Kill!"
