Chapter 628 Recover Hangzhou
The soldiers of the Donghai Town in the brigade entered the city from Shuimen and advanced to every key point in the city.
The yamen runners who were patrolling the streets saw the army passing by, dared not ask, and hid far away.
"What kind of personnel is this?" a yamen runner murmured to himself.
The old captain next to him said, "Since the soldiers came and went, I didn't see the soldiers being transferred to the middle of the night~" Suddenly, the old captain was shocked, "No, this is not the people in the city!"
At the east gate, the soldiers guarding the city hid in the city tower, while the rest held a spear and leaned against the door hole.
At this time, a sound of footsteps came. Through the fine rain and fog, the soldiers saw the brigade of soldiers stepping on neat steps and advancing in the drizzle, and immediately cheered up.
A general flag officer walked to the door, pressed a knife with one hand and stretched out his hand to stop the army from moving forward, "Which part of the city gate is important, stop immediately."
Li Benshen pulled out his battle knife and rang out his finger, "Kill!"
The soldiers of Donghai Town raised their muskets and fired. "Bang bang bang" Mars and smoke rose, and the chief flag officer was immediately beaten backwards and killed on the ground.
"Kill!" After the musket was shot, the soldiers of Donghai Town immediately roared and launched a charge.
The soldiers hiding in the city tower sheltered from the rain were shocked. The general hurriedly picked up the sword and roared: "The enemy attacks, someone steals the city!"
The officers and soldiers guarding the city picked up their weapons and rushed out of the city tower. They saw a group of soldiers from Donghai Town, thrusting bayonets, rushing up along the steps on both sides of the city gate, and throwing grenades to blow up the officers and soldiers who had just rushed out.
"Shoot the arrows, fire the gun!" The officer of Fang shouted loudly.
However, on rainy days, the combsgun cannot be used. The bowstring is wet with the rain, and its power is greatly reduced. However, the flintlock gun with a rain shield in the hands of the soldiers in Donghai Town can still fire a shot, which makes the defenders burst into blood mist and fall into the rain.
For a moment, the defenders could only draw out their combat swords and block the end of the city passage to fight against the soldiers of Donghai Town who rushed up.
At this moment, in the wilderness outside the Dongcheng City, roars suddenly came out. Countless soldiers from Donghai Town carried long ladders and wooden boards, rushed to the moat, built a wooden bridge, crossed the river quickly, and then raised a ladder to climb up the city.
In a moment, the soldiers of Donghai Town were everywhere at the top of Dongcheng City.
Soon, two city gates were opened, and countless helmets were seen crowded in.
The military and civilians in Hangzhou were awakened by the sudden gunfire and explosion. Gao Huan was wearing only a white underwear and rushed out of the room in a hurry and shouted, "What's going on?"
"Report to the politician, the rebels have entered the city!" An Jinyiwei rushed over and reported in panic.
Gao Huan's eyes widened, "How is it possible? This poliest already knows that Zhejiang's rebellion party is, how can there be any riots entering the city!"
The Jinyiwei School Captain said in panic: "The politician, it seems that the one who enters the city is Donghai Town!"
"Zhao Ming?" Gao Huan was shocked. This name represents legends, which made anyone who is enemies of it feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
Gao Huan gritted his teeth. He never expected that Donghai Town would send troops to Hangzhou. However, the main force of Donghai Town is in North Korea and Liaodong, and Nanyang also needs a large number of troops. Even if Zhao Ming returns, there will be no more troops. He hurriedly said: "Go to the Duke of Yue, let Fang Guoan defend the enemy, and drive the Jiangdong troops out of the city. We still have a chance!"
Fang Guoan, who was having a banquet at the residence of Duke Yue, was so shocked that he was instantly awakened by the sudden explosion and shouts of killing.
At this time, Fang Guoan hurriedly put on his armor, picked up the sword, led the guards of the Duke's mansion and rushed out of the mansion.
Fang Guoan rode a horse and asked his confidant to mobilize troops, while rushing to Dongcheng where the battle broke out.
As soon as the group left the mansion, they ran into a group of people, but Zheng Cai led his subordinates to attack the mansion of Duke Yue.
"Zheng Cai, what do you want to do?" Fang Guoan quickly pulled the war horses, saw the army on the opposite side, and couldn't help but shout angrily.
When Zheng Cai saw Fang Guoan, he was immediately overjoyed. He waved his knife and rushed up loudly, "Brothers, kill me!"
Two men and horses instantly fought on the street. The street was narrow, and both sides fought almost with their faces. The battle was extremely fierce.
The soldiers of the two armies flew over and spears thrust, and people kept falling in pools of blood. Fang Guoan roared loudly and directed his subordinates to rush forward, but was blocked by Zheng Cai.
At this time, when he heard the sound of killing everywhere in the city, Fang Guoan became anxious and lost his mind. He was stabbed by a long spear in his crotch. With a long neigh, he fell to the ground and pressed Fang Guoan's thigh.
Two Zheng soldiers immediately rushed over with their spears. Fang Guoan was in frightened and his personal guard stepped forward to block the Zheng soldiers and then dragged him out.
Fang Guoan was still in shock and suddenly discovered that a large number of musketeers suddenly appeared on the roofs on both sides of the street.
"There are rebels on it!" Fang Guoan yelled loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of Donghai Town on the roof fired muskets and threw grenades.
In an instant, the soldiers of the square troops who were crowded with the streets fell to the ground in groups, or were blown away by explosions, and hit the shops on both sides, causing heavy casualties.
The streets were filled with smoke, and Fang Guoan was also injured by the bomb. Seeing that the situation was not good, some of the remaining soldiers ran back with Fang Guoan, while some continued to fight to the death with their swords.
When Zheng Cai saw Fang Guoan being taken away, he was immediately anxious, "Brothers, rush for me, don't leave Fang Guoan!"
On the roof, Donghai Town general Li Qichen drew his sword and roared, "Catch Fang Guoan, the vassal lord will be rewarded!"
After speaking, a large number of soldiers from Donghai Town jumped off the roofs on both sides and entered the streets filled with smoke, killing the enemy like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
At this time, as the Shuimen and Dongcheng were opened by Donghai Town, the soldiers of Donghai Town entered the city in large numbers. With the addition of the rebellious people in the city, the government army was already out of sight.
The officers and soldiers of the Fang army in the city retreated step by step under the impact of Donghai Town. Gao Huan was guarding the yamen of the governor and roaring loudly, "Stop it, block it for me!"
At this time, I went to the residence of Duke Yue’s Duke, and the Jinyiwei School who was asking for help, rushed over and said anxiously: “The politician, Dongcheng and Shuimen have been lost, and there are rebels in the city to be the inner supporters. Hangzhou is over!”
Gao Huan didn't give up, "Where is Fang Guoan?"
"The governor, Fang Guoan slipped away from the west city. Let the governor evacuate quickly!" The school said anxiously: "The officers and soldiers in the city have been defeated, and it will be too late if they don't leave!"
Gao Huan turned around and the official army blocking ahead was defeated by Donghai Town with grenades and was fleeing everywhere. There were only more than a hundred Jinyiwei beside him and were still fighting to the death.
"How can I be worthy of Your Majesty!" Gao Huan felt sad from his heart, with tears in his eyes and said in pain: "You go first, I'll cut off the back!"
The school was very anxious when they heard the words, and the sound of killing in the streets on all sides was shocking, and many rebels had already come to the Sansi Yamen.
At this time, there was already chaos in Hangzhou. The officers and soldiers of the Fang army were unwilling to fight. They either broke through in a hurry or surrendered on their knees. Some even took off their armor and hid back home. The Fang Guoan Ministry of Security was completely defeated.
At this time, Ximen was still in the hands of the official army. Fang Guoan gathered in Xicheng with thousands of troops, but he did not have the courage to launch a counterattack.
Fang Guoan already knew that the Donghai Town was the one who attacked Hangzhou, which made him frightened and had no intention of fighting. He just waited for Gao Huan and others to retreat and broke through immediately.
Although Zhao Ming took a chance in Jiangbei, Fang Guoan, who once fought side by side with Zhao Ming, knew Zhao Ming's strength very well.
At the time, Zhao Ming's figure rushing among the tens of thousands of Qing army formations by the Fuchun River is still vivid in my mind. The battle of Jinhua, the two entry into the Yangtze River and the glory of the northern expeditions made Fang Guoan both afraid and jealous.
"Duke, it will be too late if you don't leave!" said the confidant general next to him.
Fang Guoan glared, but frightened the generals so much that they did not dare to speak. At this time, a cavalry rushed over and shouted anxiously: "Duke, the Sansi Yamen was surrounded by rebels, and the Sansi Chief and Gao Zhenfu were surrounded by rebels!"
Fang Guoan couldn't help but sigh, turned his horse's head, and gave a lost order, "Get with me!"
