Three hundred and seventeenth chapter mountain down

The situation in Naoe Kensuke's consciousness that he began to march early the next morning did not appear.

Because the next morning, when the enemy was mobilizing troops around to gather in the city on a large scale, Keikazu Uesugi, suddenly ordered the 4,000 troops stationed on the north bank of the Messi River to withdraw everyone from the south bank as quickly as possible.

They even confiscated the tents, and the camp still had vegetarian dishes and bread that had been stewed in the morning.

Soon, a vulture that smelled carrion came.

They were the residents of the city who saw the war on the land but did not choose to escape. They were in groups of three or five, holding simple weapons such as logging axes or longbows, wearing tattered hats, and like hyenas who saw rotten corpses on the African grassland.

Facing the camp, they didn't dare to go forward, but just lie around and watch, watching until the first person entered the camp and came out alive.

Then he rushed into the camp.

The rebels, Drake's rebels should be smarter, even if they could not have any decent military discipline and the long-term war destroyed their system, but this did not prevent these mobs led by the nobles from maintaining the most basic caution of the Ming army.

After the rebels who had been waiting and watching for a whole morning scattered out and arrived at the river bank, they could even find a few rice balls in the camp.

All this makes sense, although they don’t know why the Ming army left these things behind, and everyone has this kind of doubt in their minds.

But the food and supplies temptation to the rebels was too great.

Soon, two teams of thousands of people came from behind, drove the carriage and swept down, loading the baggage and transporting it northward.

At this moment, Liu Ruguo on the other side put down his telescope and waved behind him.

As the flag was waving, the conchs rang out one after another along the Mersey River.

Uesugi Keikaru crossed the river again and rushed forward, breaking through the rebels who were left at the bridgehead. The rebels carrying tents and food were caught by the Uesugi Guards who were lightly fled, and then they were defeated like a mountain.

The Uesugi Guard, who had been trained for a long time in North Asia, was not the same as before. He had an incomparable advantage in fighting a large number of infantry soldiers lacking armor. They took advantage of this momentum to enter Manchester towns in one go.

Even Liu Ruguo, who was firmly in the rear, did not expect the attack to go so smoothly. Later, he realized that he ordered various troops to launch a general attack.

The originally expected battle disappeared without a trace.

In the words of Uesugi Keika, Meng Xin was a special talent who was familiar with Nanman and Chinese. He was ordered to follow the Uesugi Guards to act together, intending to let him call the enemy in front of the battle to persuade him to surrender and slash morale.

As for the battle, maybe the formation has not even been unfolded in the morning, and having a lame leg is not a problem.

However, because the battle situation was too smooth, the Qianhu Department in front easily defeated the enemy. Meng Xin fell behind when he pursued. With his little follower who had no courage, he fell all the way back and fell to the front of the Zhijiang team, which was originally regarded as a reserve team.

Naoe Kensuke, who led the troops, cursed the enemy's defeat too quickly, and ran forward with his knife. As he ran, he saw a familiar figure on the battlefield.

Carrying a bird gun, leaning on a bird gun, holding a Ming army's iron helmet, and wearing a red beard full of mouth, he ran forward with a twist and turns, and behind him was a little beard carrying a three-eyed gun. Who else could there be besides Meng Xin?

Naoe Kensuke knew that Meng Xin was suppressing huge hatred, and was afraid that he would have something to do. He gave some advice and said, "Hurry up, run with him!"

Meng Xin was using a meteorite bird gun as a crutch, but suddenly his arm lightened, and his whole body was lightly mounted by two feet on the left and right, and he ran forward much faster.

"Why do you want me? You guys chase me quickly and don't let them run away!"

Seeing Meng Xin, Naoe Kensuke was not so anxious. He specifically ordered the Hundred Houses to complete the team, and then lined up slowly to walk forward and rest.

"Don't worry, the enemy fled abnormally. The general of the London Palace said that the Southern Barbarians were difficult to deal with. They had no reserve team and they would collapse in one blow. I suspect it was a fake defeat."

Not long after, a messenger ordered the troops to find Meng Xin through many ways and conveyed Liu Ruguo's orders, not allowing him to retaliate against the residents in the city.

In fact, this order was spread throughout the army before Meng Xin knew about it, and only the sentrymen who followed Uesugi Keikaku to advance were still unknown.

The order is not to prevent them from revenge, but to tell them not to have a holiday when they enter the city.

In fact, if you go to the city without holidays, it means that you are not allowed to massacre the city, and naturally you are not allowed to retaliate.

There are usually two concepts for massacre. One is the spontaneous act of soldiers or generals to vent their anger. For example, if you break the city without sealing a sword for three days, it is actually a three-day vacation for soldiers who cannot be captured and suffered casualties to boost morale.

No one knows what Liu Ruguo thought, but he really dared not issue an order to break the city without sealing the sword for three days, because this is actually a kind of loss to the siege troops.

Not everyone gave such an order. For troops without a certain organization at the grassroots level, once this order is issued, the army will be gone.

Today, Liu Ruguo said that he would not seal his sword for three days after breaking the city. In three days, he might only have personal soldiers left by his side.

The battle continues, and everyone in the city can run almost the same. The remaining ones are scattered soldiers and unlucky men who have no sense of escape, and the most unsuccessful ones like Meng Xin who have already developed ambitions for death and killing people as profits.

At this time, no matter whether the troops are dispersed and ran out to rob, or they themselves dispersed for revenge, it will bring serious blows to the army.

The most important thing is that these soldiers have never seen money. They can throw their weapons and run to their hometown by robbing a silk curtain.

This is actually an out-of-control robbery.

Another concept of massacre is that the army commander made up his mind to massacre the city. The entire army used the organization of war to carry out orderly massacres with the purpose of killing everyone in the city.

This heart-wrenching terrifying behavior usually causes a huge city to disappear, such as Temujin in Khwarezm.

However, what made Liu Ruguo and Uesugi Keikaku very worried was not a big deal in the end.

Because it wasn't their turn to take revenge and massacre.

As the army was defeated, the organization of the Drake rebels was destroyed, and a group of strife in the city was in chaos. The soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers. The defeated troops, gangsters and nobles who had taken off their disguised disguised immediately began to smash, loot and burn.

Meng Xin was thinking about today for the whole month before entering the city.

All he thought was to wait for him to enter Manchester City and make the people here pay the price. He vowed to kill every Englishman he saw, to his brother, to the eldest brother Makino who always took care of him, and to the little miner who was like a worm.

But when he really stepped into the city, he watched the gangster wearing a high-top helmet carry the girl with makeup on his shoulders, hold the tapestry under his armpits that he had never taken away, and hold the old hen's neck in his hand.

He still picked up the gun without hesitation.

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, he held his head up and stepped on the back of his head with a not-so-sighted lame man who was shot to the ground.

The young follower quickly stepped forward and happily picked up the high-top helmet landing on the ground and rubbed the dirt and blood on his sleeve, and proudly clasped it on his head.

The samurai who pressed the knife and the spear-holding feet stood aside. Naoe Kensuke winked at his subordinates, making people look at what the sharpshooter would do.

They saw Meng Xin's muscles twitching on his face very nervous, and they gritted their teeth and held back the tears that seemed to be shed.
