Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 849
Accident, definitely an accident!

As long as he is not on the battlefield or in the officialdom, Yang Menglong always gives people the impression that he is easy to talk and has no airs at all. The more he becomes an official, the bigger his official is, but the soldiers around him are still so small. Usually he only takes three or two people. Follow outside to wander around, meet anyone who is pleasing to the eye, no matter whether you are familiar with it or not, you can chat for a long time after sitting down. Li Yan has persuaded him more than once to strengthen his protection. There are many people, there are definitely not a few people who want to kill him, how can such a little protection power do it!But Yang Menglong couldn't listen to it. He thought that most of the people he came into contact with were good people, and he wouldn't do anything to him.In fact, there is nothing wrong with this idea. At least the people in Huguang pray to God and worship Buddha every day, hoping that the gods will bless him with a long life and good luck. A good official, of course he won't hurt him.In Huguang, he will be fine without any guards. Anyone who wants to touch him will be denounced by the common people and thrown into prison before he can take action.But the problem is that not everyone is as simple and kind as the people in Huguang. As Li Yan said, there are too many people who want to kill him!
Who would have thought that there would be a group of assassins lurking in Chixian City, which had been besieged for more than a month and had almost turned into a dead city!
It is too easy to trust others, and always think of the good of everyone he meets. This kind of character finally put him in a fatal crisis. The two assassins used his character almost perfectly. He struck a fatal blow!
Fortunately, the two assassins used revolver flintlock pistols produced in Europe. This kind of pistol can only hold one bullet, and after one bullet is fired, it becomes scrap metal.If those two assassins had used flintlock pistols specially designed for the Heluo New Army cavalry, Yang Menglong would have been beaten into a hornet's nest by now.The two assassins also knew that this kind of pistol was unreliable. As soon as they succeeded in hitting, they immediately threw away the pistol, drew out their short knives and pounced at Yang Menglong who was lying on the ground. Just go straight to the vital point. They are obviously first-class killers. Once they succeed, their targets will never be lucky!

Li Yan's eyes were cracked, and he roared: "Stop them quickly——" He jumped off the horse regardless of his own safety, punched out with both fists, and struck the Adam's apple of the two assassins, completely risking his life.A scholar dies for his confidant. He is full of talents, but no one appreciates him, so he can only spend time in the countryside. Yang Menglong appreciates him, trusts him, and regards him as his right-hand man. He has long discussions with him on all major military and political matters, and even lets him make decisions. He has no way to repay this trust, he can only give up his life to repay it!
The red lady moved faster. When she saw Yang Menglong was shot and fell, her mind went blank, but Li Yan's roar woke her up, and she let out a long and stern cry: "Take your life!" With her hands turned back, twelve thick and long The steel needle slid to the tip of his finger, flicked it again, and turned into dots of blue light and rushed towards the faces of the two assassins.The two assassins were very skillful, and they easily avoided Li Yan's attack. The blade left two deep and long scars on Li Yan's body, forcing him away, and stabbing Yang Menglong's chest with the knife !But at this moment, the steel needle shot by the red lady shot through the air and pierced their faces.These two assassins really wanted Yang Menglong's life in exchange for the glory and wealth they dreamed of. They were caught off guard by a steel needle, their eyes and throat were pierced, and their eyes were blood red. .Before they could even let out a scream, Zaji Chongweng had already pounced on them like an eagle or a leopard, and slapped them on the chest with both palms with great force!This young man of the Li ethnic group hated the two assassins so much that he tried his best. These two palms smashed the sternum of the two assassins, and they flew backwards like a rag doll. Blood gushed from the mouth, nose and ear holes came out, and there was a rain of blood.

Several soldiers rushed forward, pulled out their flintlock pistols and fired at the two unlucky men, emptying the bullets in the cylinders and beating them into briquettes.The other soldiers immediately surrounded Yang Menglong and expanded the body's bullet-proof surface to the limit.As expected, another gunshot was heard at the end of the street, and a hole as big as a fist was blown out of a recruit's chest. His body was swaying, but he managed to hold on without falling.Zhaji Chongweng's eyes were bloodshot, and with a roar, he swooped towards where the smoke was rising. He was going to tear that bastard into pieces!
Li Yan shouted: "Catch him alive!" He knew that Zhaji Chongweng and Yang Menglong were brothers. Yang Menglong was seriously injured when he was assassinated, and Zhaji Chongweng was furious. He could kill that damn assassin with his bare hands without using a knife or an axe. Tear to pieces!He also wanted to tear these damn assassins into pieces, but his reason told him that he couldn't do this. He had to catch a living person and find out who did it!

Zhaji Chongweng didn't look back, like an eagle like a leopard, he jumped in front of the assassin in the blink of an eye.Seeing this, the assassin immediately threw away the rifle that was too late to reload, drew out a short knife, and fought with Zaghi Chongweng.The red lady didn't care about all this at all. She was pale and her hair was disheveled. She threw herself in front of Yang Menglong and saw that his abdomen was bloody and blood was gushing out one after another. The incomparable panic almost shattered her heart. , she called out tremblingly: "Menglong, you... how are you doing? Don't scare me, can you wake up?"

Panting, Yang Menglong covered the wound with his hands, and said with difficulty: "It's okay...there's no serious injury, I can't die!"

The red lady cried, "Are you still saying it's okay? How do you look injured? Military medical officer! Military medical officer, come here quickly!" The shrill cry echoed among the ruins, terrified and sad, and pitiful.

Yang Menglong struggled and said: "It's really okay... This kind of flintlock pistol is very weak. The military medical officer will definitely be able to cure me. Don't worry..." Looking at Li Yan, he tried to raise his voice and said: " I...I'm afraid I won't be able to get up for a while, during this time, you and Mr. Qi must control the army, no matter what, the army must not be chaotic..."

Li Yan held his blood-covered hand and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qi and I will definitely stabilize the army and won't let it get into chaos!" But he didn't have any confidence in his heart. You know, Yang Menglong is a new member of Heluo River. The soul of the army, this army is almost his own army, and other people's words have no effect at all. Can he and Qi Hu really control this terrible iron army?
Yang Menglong nodded: "I... I believe you..." The severe pain made him subconsciously clenched Li Yan's hand, pinching Li Yan's knuckles, shaking all over, but still holding on to say: "We must find out who did it... It's not that simple, there must be a terrible conspiracy behind the scenes... Find it out and stop them!"

Li Yan said word by word: "I will definitely investigate and find out!"

The military medical officer finally arrived. Seeing that Yang Menglong was injured like this, he was also stunned for a moment. Almost subconsciously, he opened the medicine box, took out a large ball of cotton wool soaked in anesthetic and pressed it on Yang Menglong's wound, and then shouted for a stretcher to come over and take the man away. Carried to the hospital, the slightly trembling voice made everyone's hearts sink.

The red lady stood up tremblingly, her face was bloodless, and she looked around blankly. When her eyes fell on the assassin who was still fighting with Zhaji Chongweng, she suddenly let out a hiss and picked up a handful. The short knife rushed over.Li Yan yelled: "Stop her! We must catch her alive!" Two soldiers blocked the red lady stubbornly, ignoring her punches and kicks, and refused to let go.At the same time, Zha Chong Weng used his eagle claws to pinch the assassin's knife-holding hand and twist it, snapping off his arm joints.The assassin groaned in pain, kicked Zaji Chongweng in the lower abdomen, Zaji Chongweng clawed again, clamped his ankle and pulled it again, snapped his knee joint.The assassin let out a howl and fell to the ground. Zhaji Chongweng still didn't let him go, grabbed his jaw and twisted it, and then unloaded his palate joint.The unlucky assassin fell to the ground, rolling in pain. Zhaji slapped Weng twice on the mouth, smashing all his teeth, and said fiercely: "In this way, you won't be able to bite your tongue and kill yourself." We slang people have plenty of ways to torture you slowly, I hope you don’t confess so quickly!” Throwing him to the soldiers, he rushed over and grabbed a Dutch officer, his eyes were red, and he shouted: “Is it you? Did you do it? Tell me, did you do it!"

The Dutch officer didn't understand Chinese, so he naturally didn't know what he was talking about. He was frightened by Zaji Chongweng's fierce look and stepped back.Zhaji yelled at Weng and grabbed his neck: "You better tell me the truth! If I find out that you did it, you will regret why you came to this world!" The captain of the personal soldiers has lost his mind. After following Yang Menglong for so long, this is the first time he has neglected his duty, and it is also the most fatal one!In broad daylight, the assassin struck in front of so many people and seriously injured Yang Menglong with one shot. The guilt made him almost go crazy!If he could be more cautious and vigilant and not let Yang Menglong be at the forefront, all of this could be avoided!

Li Yan shouted: "Zhaji, calm down and let him go!"

Zaghi Chongweng's body trembled slightly after being drunk by him, let go of the Dutch officer who was almost strangled to death by him, and smashed his fist against the wall in frustration. It seems that a punch is faster than a punch, and a punch is heavier than a punch.

Li Yan said to Li Xu: "Immediately block the news and drive all the prisoners of war back to Chichan City. No one is allowed to enter or exit! I will investigate carefully and will not give up until I find out the mastermind behind the scenes!"

Li Xu also knew that the situation was critical, so he didn't dare to say more, so he replied: "Understood!" Immediately mobilized troops to drive the Dutch troops who had surrendered their weapons back to the city.

Li Yan glared at all the officers and soldiers present, and said word by word: "And all of you, keep your mouths in check and don't leak a word! If you can't control your mouths, I don't mind if you keep it forever." silence!"

Everyone was awe-inspiring, and they responded in unison.This is not a joke. If the news of Yang Menglong's assassination spreads, it is still unknown what changes will happen to the situation in the court. Huguang and Heluo will definitely mess up. Don't doubt it, this seemingly out-of-the-ordinary guy is just like that important!

After arranging all this, Li Yan looked at the slightly panicked faces and sighed in his heart: "Sir, you have given me a big problem! Han Peng, Xue Siming, Zhong Ning, these battle-experienced generals, How could I suppress the tycoons like Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu, as well as the old bureaucrats in Huguang and Fujian? The army is easy to handle, but if these tycoons and old bureaucrats know that you are injured, they will definitely jump out!" I thought! The situation that may be caused by Yang Menglong's injury is changing. He has one head and two big ones!
Outside the city, the Dutch army was shouting loudly, protesting to the Ming army, thinking that they had handed over their weapons and should be treated as prisoners of war. City, the dead city that had tortured them for more than a month.What responded to them was the fists and feet of the soldiers of the Heluo New Army. The more they yelled, the harder they were beaten.The Dutch realized helplessly that they had no weapons in their hands and could only be slaughtered. The Heluo New Army would not tell them about chivalry. If you don’t want to suffer, you’d better obey their orders , Go back to Chixian City honestly and stay there, don't play dead, once you die, you will definitely be killed!

The Dutch army, which is still kept in the dark, does not know that the abuse they are suffering now is not worth mentioning at all. If Yang Menglong has any knowledge, they are not even qualified to enjoy fists and gun butts, furious The Heluo New Army will kill them all and let them be buried with Yang Menglong!
