C1595 City Gate Massacre (1/2)

The two teams returned to Old Lin's side. The team that checked the corpses did not find pigeon keeper's body, and they also brought back a report. There were a total of three pigeon keeper's that were in charge of the pigeon house, but none of them were found in the corpse.

”It's good that he didn't die, it's good that he didn't die!” Old Lin was so pleased that his fists were hitting his chest as he tried to soothe the depression in his heart.

”Reporting, Sir, the backdoor observation post follows your orders, all servants, and well-dressed inner guards have been captured, a total of eight people were unable to find pigeon keeper!”

”Hmm? None of you noticed! This meant that the pigeon keeper was still in the palace? ”Search, quickly search …” Vice General Lin excitedly jumped up. ”It's good that he didn't run, as long as he's still in the general's residence, we can find him!”

Just at this time, Grandpa Zhang who had been silent the entire time spoke out, ”Hold on! Right now, the most important thing is not to find the pigeon keeper, but to control four gates! ”

”Master, the south gate is already in our hands, but the east, west, and north gates are still open.” Master, the south gate is already in our hands, but the east, west, and north are still open.

”Qiqihar's cavalry is under his control. Once the cavalry enters the city, no matter how strong the firearms are, they will not be taken advantage of!”

The old soldier's face was full of anxiety as he said, ”Sire, listen to me. Send your elites to control the four doors quickly. Without saying anything, use sandbags and rocks to block them. If they can hold the door for a few days, then so be it …” As long as those pigeon keeper have not left the general's estate, I have the confidence to search for them! ”

”Oh!” You have a way? ”Do you dare to issue a military order …”

”Why wouldn't I dare?!” At my age, I already have enough to live my life.

”Good!” If you have the responsibility, I will not treat you badly. Guards, split into nine hundred teams and control the other three gates from three different directions. Kill without mercy! ”

The private troops were the killing machines that the generals had nurtured. They never thought of doing military formations and martial arts on a daily basis, and even in such a chaotic situation, they were still able to instantly reorganize their troops. Three hundred soldiers charged towards the predetermined direction.

The soldiers that had rushed into the city to snatch water did not bring any weapons. 90% of them were armed with large swords and spears, and had stolen treasures from the houses of the common people. They did not have any intention of fighting at all.

After all, they had destroyed the barricade's fence and rushed out of the barracks without permission. It was already good enough that they could bring out their long spears and swords, but those precious firearms, including their lead gunpowder, were locked in the warehouse without the order of their superior.

This led to a tragic end that the private troops of the Ningguta could not resist. A group of sheep wearing wolf skins, who only knew how to rob, and a group of Northeast Tigers who had clear goals and were heavily armed to the teeth, had no suspense when they bumped into each other.

Groups after groups of disorderly soldiers were killed, the frightened soldiers then pretended to disband their comrades behind them. The chaos spread rapidly like a virus, and at this moment, no senior military officer was able to stabilize their position, and a one-sided massacre officially began.

After the war, more than 80% of the soldiers that died on the street had wounds on their backs. This meant that these soldiers had been shot or cut down in the process of escaping; there was no real organized resistance.

Even if there were a few powerful soldiers who occasionally wanted to retaliate after being killed with bloodshot eyes, there were very few who cooperated with him. Usually, there would be three to five desperate counterattacks before they were killed on the ground by the private army's rain of bullets, like wild rabbits.

”Charge!” The city gate was right in front of them! Take over the Western City. Set up defenses on the spot! ”

”We are about to arrive at the east gate. Close the gate and the Qiqihar will be ours …”
