104. Occupy Zhaoyuan
The artillery unit led by Kong Youde was originally an artillery unit, and he was very familiar with the situation of artillery and muskets. When he saw this group of guys dressed in strange ways, he was easily killed in the inner city at Zhaoyuan Fort. In anger, he immediately ordered the private soldiers to launch a charge!
Among the private soldiers, many of them rode war horses. At a distance of only three to five hundred meters, the musketeers could only fire two shots at most, and the cavalry troops could reach it.
In the eyes of Kong Youde and others, there were only more than 100 musketeers protected by swords and shields, and twenty cavalrymen, who were not protected by spearmen, were enough to kill them easily, not to mention that there were more than 200 cavalry troops here.
The sound of horse hooves sounded quickly. These well-equipped private soldiers who usually eat very well, pulled out their sabers and killed Ma Dingyuan and others without hesitation with cold murderous intent.
But they had just rushed out 200 meters away, and were still more than 200 meters away from the opponent. The enemy had quickly arranged the formation. With the commander's order, the fire in his hand came out with flames. The explosion sounded without stopping at all, and it poured out with bangs. More than 200 cavalrymen seemed to have made an appointment and fell to the ground one after another. Even the tall war horses made a tragic neighing, struggling to fall to the ground.
The cavalry behind were not sure what was going on, and then suddenly there was a gap in front of him. All the cavalry running in front fell to the ground, and only a few war horses fled to both sides.
Then, they either tripped by the horses that fell to the ground in front, or were hit by a huge force, and they flipped backwards. Even if they were not shot into the vital points, the horse's hooves behind them stepped on them, and they would trample them to death.
Kong Youde and the soldiers who rushed over behind the cavalry were stunned for a moment: the more than 200 elite cavalry were gone like this?
These cavalry were formed by Kong Youde with countless money. Even their war horses were not inferior horses in the pass, but were bought from outside the pass at a high price. They usually eat soybeans. Even when facing the same number of Tartar cavalry, Kong Youde believed that they had the strength to fight. Otherwise, how could they fight from Wuqiao to Dengzhou? No soldiers could stop them?
But all such elite cavalry were killed and injured in front of them, and none of them could stand up. How much time has passed?
Ma Dingyuan ignored the mood of the rebels such as Kong Youde. The soldiers of Fort Minway raised their assault rifles and quickly rushed towards Kong Youde and the others with neat steps.
Hundreds of personal soldiers were in this martial arts field, less than 500 meters away from Ma Dingyuan and others, and within the effective range of the rifle.
These personal soldiers woke up from the rapid death of the cavalry and found that their companions were falling one after another, and they could not support them. They were simply the evil ghosts from the underworld who came to the world to reap their lives. They ran away with a bang, hoping that their parents would give them two more legs.
Kong Youde reacted faster. His courage was not used in this situation. It was not something that human power could resist. The weapons in the opponent's hands were stronger than those of Fire-Type lead bullets. The range was simply comparable to those of cannons. The shooting speed was even more outrageous. How many times he fired in a breath can't count it. How could he resist this terrifying army?
But he couldn't run away. He just turned his horse's head and ran for more than ten meters. Then he felt like someone was hit hard with a sharp iron hammer on his back. He flew into the air. In a vague way, Kong Youde saw that his chest was completely rotten, and half of his body had gone.
Barrett's terrifying power cannot be resisted by ordinary people. If Ye Feiyu does not equip the protective shield and relies solely on his own strength, he will be shot at the critical point by Barrett, which will be life-threatening.
Kong Youde died, and until his death he didn't understand what happened to fall to the ground. Where did this strange force come from and why he attacked Zhaoyuan Fort.
Ye Feiyu did not need these generals of the rebellious soldiers. In his opinion, the soldiers under his command would definitely bear great responsibility for burning, killing, looting and losing military discipline. Moreover, he did not need these people to maintain the stability of Laizhou Dengzhou, and did not need them to lead the army and the army of the Ming Dynasty and the Jiannu army to fight.
The suppression of two-level civilizations can allow an ordinary soldier to lead the army to destroy the most powerful army and the most famous general of this era!
Especially when the cavalry troops were killed and the soldiers collapsed and dispersed, these people did not gather the troops to command the battle, but turned around and ran away, which could also show their character.
Although many generals of the Ming Dynasty were like this, Ye Feiyu only saw the ugly appearance of these people.
Barrett showed his power one after another, and after finishing the sniper bombs, the generals under Kong Youde were also killed. It was impossible for them to avoid Ye Feiyu's sniper killing.
This is just the power of guns. If the situation changes, Ye Feiyu can even bring cloud bombs and throw them on, even if the 100,000 Jiannu cavalry that had scared the Ming Dynasty, they would be wiped out in an instant.
The shouts of "Surrender and not kill" were simply a natural sound to Kong Youde's remaining soldiers. Those who could not escape were left behind their weapons and squatted on the ground, without the courage to resist at all.
It only took more than an hour for Ma Dingyuan, a unit of more than 100 people, from launching an attack to occupying Zhaoyuan Fort!
Zhaoyuan Fort is now dominated by military officers such as Kong Youde. The former county magistrates had backbone and would rather die than surrender. All the more than 30 people in the family were killed by Kong Youde. Ye Feiyu was not familiar with these things and left some soldiers to guard the surrendered troops. Under the leadership of Ma Dingyuan, he found that the people in the county had run away.
Most of the officials with backbone were killed by Kong Youde. Those who had no backbone surrendered to Kong Youde naturally would not stay in the county government office and wait for Ye Feiyu to kill him.
Ma Dingyuan had some experience, so people went to the prison to take a look. Sure enough, they found that there were many people locked up inside. One of them was the chief clerk of Zhaoyuan County, a middle-aged and elderly person who was about 40 years old. I wonder why Kong Youde didn't kill him.
Ye Feiyu did not expect this chief clerk to surrender to him. Some officials of the Ming Dynasty were still a little arrogant. In the eyes of these people, there was no difference between Ye Feiyu and Kong Youde.
He asked Ma Dingyuan's chief clerk to come out, intending to inquire about the situation in Zhaoyuan County, and then dispatched troops from Fort Mingwei to take over the place.
Sure enough, the chief clerk began to think that Ye Feiyu was Kong Youde's man, and glared at Ye Feiyu and Ma Dingyuan. Hearing that Kong Youde had already given him the title, the chief Bo Cai asked in surprise if Ye Feiyu was a suppression army sent by the Ming Dynasty. After knowing that it was not, even though he did not glar at Ye Feiyu, he ignored Ye Feiyu.
Ma Dingyuan was furious and was about to kill the Lord Bo. Ye Feiyu raised his hand to stop him and let the Lord Bo go.
Tens of thousands of refugees in Fort Mingway, some of whom were teachers from the village or down-and-out scholars. Ye Feiyu posted notices outside the cliff gates of Fort Mingway and Zhaoyuan County to recruit personnel and manage Zhaoyuan Fort Zhaoyuan, and many people came to apply.
In every era, the most in short supply is people who are consciously talented and unrecognizable.
The seven thousand soldiers and horses of Kong Youde were defeated, more than 1,500 people were killed, and more than 700 were captured. The remaining five thousand soldiers and horses were gone without the command of the general and fled from Zhaoyuan Fort in horror. The mysterious army that suddenly appeared publicly recruited county officials instead of the imperial court to send an appointment, which shows that he and Kong Youde and Gao Yingxiang of the peasant uprising army were the same people.
Those who are truly capable should wait and see and will not step on Ye Feiyu's chariot rashly, otherwise when the imperial court's quelling rebellion army comes, the officials recruited by Ye Feiyu will be considered traitors and will be punished by the nine clans.
Perhaps only when Ye Feiyu shows strong enough power to fight against the Ming Dynasty's counter-rebels, these people will truly serve Ye Feiyu.
What surprised Ye Feiyu was that the county magistrate who first surrendered to Kong Youde and then fled to somewhere else actually came to apply for the election.
Ye Feiyu looked at the face of this look in front of her, with a beard with a pointed head, a narrow forehead, and a despicable look, as if she was a master of the martial artist. She couldn't help laughing: "Are you the county magistrate of Zhaoyuan County?"
The county magistrate nodded quickly and said, "Huixian Master, the villain is the former Zhaoyuan County magistrate, named Hu Yiding."
Ye Feiyu nodded: "You surrendered Kong Youde before, why do you dare to come now? Are you not afraid of me killing you?"
The county magistrate was slightly shocked. This immortal Ye looked not old, but his aura was so powerful that he almost couldn't speak. However, he still mustered up the courage to explain: "The immortal master clearly understood that when the villain surrendered to Kong Youde, it was a forced one for the villain to surrender. The villain was not afraid of death. My family passed down for three generations, so the villain was called Yi Ding. It doesn't matter if he died. But if the child was killed by Kong Youde, wouldn't he be sorry for his ancestors?"
"Besides, Kong Youde is violent by nature, and his soldiers are wolves and tigers. When the villain stays in the county government, he can do something for the people under his control. The villain sees the Immortal Master's army entering the city with strict military discipline, which is definitely not comparable to those of the soldiers like Kong Youde. Therefore, he dares to come to see if he can serve the Immortal Master."
Ye Feiyu touched the head of the golden wolf beside him, and then smiled and said, "Then tell me, how should I manage this Zhaoyuan County now?"
Hu Yiding calmed down and finally passed the first level. However, whether this immortal master Ye can use him depends on his answer.
Anyway, he had surrendered to Kong Youde, and civil officials were not like military officers. They held troops and surrendered to Jiannu, and then surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Eighth-rank sesame officials like him could even kill him on the spot without even using imperial edicts. He wanted to continue his prestige as a county magistrate and could only surrender to Ye Feiyu.
As long as he can really do things, maybe even if Ye Feiyu is surrendered by the court in the future, he will protect his life.
"Immortal Master, now Kong Youde's remaining soldiers are going to Huangxian and Qixia escape. The target must be to meet with Kong Youliang, whom Kong Youde arranged in Penglai. Although the Immortal Master is powerful, if the other party joins together, there will be tens of thousands of soldiers, which will cause a lot of harm."
