please make me king

Chapter 1327 Breakthrough
"Kill, kill!" Yan Yechen led the "dead soldiers" under his command and rushed over aggressively, but as expected, he was poured cold water on his head by the rebels.

However, this time these post-gold "dead soldiers" are no longer as embarrassed as last time.

Instead, they grabbed the heavy quilt that was draped over their bodies, pulled it down and pulled it off their bodies, revealing the bright "heavy armor" hidden inside.

"Haha, didn't expect that, did you?" Hou Jin's "dead soldier" couldn't help but smiled triumphantly, while pulling out the saber from his waist and rushing towards the rebels.

"Bang bang bang!" What greeted them was not panic, but a deafening bang.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" As flames and smoke spewed out from the formation of the rebel army, Hou Jin's "dead soldiers" fell down in response, and the number of casualties was unknown for a while.

"What's going on? How could this 'heavy armor' be pierced?" Suddenly, fear shrouded Houjin's "dead soldier".

It turned out that although the Houjin "dead soldiers" were well-equipped, they were not yet invulnerable.

What it relies on is a shield car, which is used to offset the enemy's artillery advantage.

The second is the bamboo card, which is used to weaken the enemy's advantage of firecrackers.

The third is the battle jacket and cotton armor, which are used to further weaken the enemy's pills.

After being weakened layer by layer, the last line of defense is their well-made heavy armor.

The material of these heavy armors is roughly the same as that of the heavy armors made by the rebels, and they are all "bright armors" made of thickened armor pieces that have been made through repeated tempering.

If these "Ming Jia" are used to resist the three-eyed blunderbuss, small Frang machine, bird blunderbuss, and Lumi blunderbuss, it is enough.

But if you want to resist the rebels' new bird guns that use one or two heavy lead bullets, then you are thinking too much.

It was the first time that the rebel army fought against Houjin. At that time, the Xu Quan Fire Gun Battalion, which was equipped with a large number of new bird guns, was sent to Taiyuan City to garrison, so they could not be transferred to participate in the battle.

This time, although the Houjin "dead soldiers" were prepared, they did not expect that the rebels had already done their homework.

The art of war says: More counts as victory, less counts as invincible.

How can the rebel army be invincible if they count with their hearts and minds?
"No, the dead soldiers are gone!" Azig stood in the half-damaged camp, looked around the battlefield for a long time, and couldn't help frowning.

"Then what should we do? Are we really going to abandon this place?" Abate couldn't help but worry when the matter came to an end.

"It's not my king's style to sit and wait for death!" Azig shook his head and said, "After these days of fighting, our army suffered a lot of damage, but the reinforcements from the 'Shun Bandits' kept coming."

"Under this increase and decrease, the strength gap between the two sides has become smaller and smaller."

"If I wait to stick to this place, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave after a few days!"

"What is the county king's choice?" Abate asked anxiously.

They have already discussed three or four plans to break out of the encirclement before, and the pros and cons of them have already been analyzed clearly.

"You and Wanyan Yechen stay here, and my son-in-law Yang Guli and I lead [-] people straight into the hinterland of the 'Shun Bandit' and turn it upside down. Only then will we be satisfied." Azig said coldly.

"This..." Abate never expected that Azig would choose such a plan that would hurt both sides, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Big man, you can't eat five tripods, but cook ears with five tripods!" Azige couldn't help sneering when he saw this. "I want Mrs. Hong to take a good look at this king's courage."

"I will give you and Ye Chen [-] horses, and I only want you to stay in the camp for three days. After three days, I will listen to you, can you do it?"

"This..." Abatai looked at the camps that had been bombarded by the rebel army's "heavy red barbarian cannon" last night, and reluctantly replied, "The only thing I can do is die."

"Okay, with your words, the king will go with peace of mind!" Azige didn't blame him when he heard the words, but smiled and got on his horse, then turned his head and shouted to Yangguli, "Forehead, we should On the road!"

Following Azige's order, the elite soldiers in the Houjin camp had already brought out their horses, dressed neatly, and got on their horses.

With [-] elites and [-] to [-] war horses, after a while, the people in the Golden Camp roared and neighed, and it was very lively.

"Not good, the Eastern captives are going to run!" Just as Hou Jin was rectifying his troops, the rebel scouts who had heard the movement reported to Zhang Shun immediately, and Zhang Shun couldn't help but immediately judged.

As for the fact that Azig's department was going to run away, Zhang Shun had already expected it.

Fight if you can, defend if you can't, and leave if you can't. This rule applies to most wars.

Then Azig, Abatai and others are not fools, how could they not know?

The Jin army was frustrated by the rebel army before and after, but it was still able to rely on the camp to defend.

However, after the local rebels sacrificed the ten-thousand-jin red cannon like "General Qingtian", it was obvious that the Jin army could not even defend it, so naturally they had to leave.

The key is how to go, where to go.

To be honest, what Zhang Shun was most worried about was the northward movement of the Azig troops.

Once the defense lines of Shiling Pass and Xinzhou are breached by him, no matter whether Azige's troops join forces with Hongtai's main force or cross Xuanda and other places, Zhang Shun's grand strategy of subduing Xuanda and other towns will be seriously affected.

As for other directions, the rebel army has already made preparations.

Don't rely on it not coming, rely on me to wait for it; don't rely on it not to attack, rely on what I have and cannot attack it.

However, although the two sides had already made preparations, they both refused to make a move, but waited for the countermeasures to reveal flaws.

In this way, the two sides fought fiercely from morning to noon until the sun was westward.

The weather in Shanxi in May already has summer heat.

The scorching sun was like a big furnace, and the soldiers under the scorching sun were sweating profusely, and almost collapsed. ,

The soldiers on both sides only felt that the sweat-soaked cotton armor was getting heavier and heavier, making them unable to breathe.

"Kill, kill!" The soldiers said hoarsely, coping with each other, as if this was the only way to be worthy of the few taels of food.

And just as the two sides began to "grind foreign work", suddenly the earth shook, and then there was a deafening sound of horseshoes.

"Okay, here we come!" Zhang Shun, who was sitting firmly on the watchtower, felt as if an earthquake had struck, and couldn't help jumping up, only to see a "torrent" rolling from the Houjin camp, passing by the north side of the battlefield of both sides.

"What a thief, this is going south!" The two sides fought to this point, almost "famous brand", Zhang Shun didn't know what Azige was thinking.

"Order Zhang Dashou, Zhang Rujing, Xu Quan, Li Shi'an and others to use the trenches to weaken the deserters from the East with all their strength."

"You can kill people, you can't kill horses, but I will use any means that can weaken Donglu."

"Order Zhang Sanbai's eleven battalions, including Lin Chengcheng, Guan Fumin, Zhang Tianlin, Dang Shousu, Zhang Rukui, Chen Jitai, Wang Sheng, Zhang Ding, Lu Xiangguan, and Li Wanqing, to take full responsibility for the extermination of the Azig tribe. There must be no mistakes in pacifying the Fenzhou government!"

"This..." Everyone couldn't help being shocked when they heard the words, Zhang Shun couldn't come to such an important matter, but instead handed it over to Zhang Sanbai?

"Don't worry, I can trust him!" Zhang Shun said with a smile, "And I have more important things to do!"

The Azig tribe went southward brazenly, and it seemed impossible to determine its whereabouts, but in fact its destination was already clear.

If you want to detour north and go straight, you have to go to Pingdingzhou, Liaozhou and Lu'anfu.

Now there is Cao Wenzhao in Pingding Prefecture, Wang Guangen in Liaozhou, and Li Xin in Lu'an Mansion. It is difficult to pass through these three places.

Even if Azige's troops survived by luck, they would run head-on into Hong Chengchou's troops stationed in Zhending, Shunde Mansion and Zhangde Mansion, so it is not a cause for concern.

If Wang Qingzhi's "insider traitor" hadn't reminded him, I'm afraid Zhang Shun would be a little confused this time.

Now that he already knew that Qi County, Pingyao and Jiexiu counties were the hometowns of the "traveling Mongolian merchants", he naturally understood what Azig was going to do.

"Hehe, collusion between inside and outside, cooperation between inside and outside?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing secretly, "Then I'll give you an ambush!"

It turned out that Zhang Tianlin, Dang Shousu, Zhang Rukui, Chen Jitai, Wang Sheng, Zhang Ding, Lu Xiangguan, Li Wanqing and other Eighth Battalion troops dispatched by Zhang Shun before arrived late, because after hearing Wang Qingzhi's information, he again They were ordered to return to Fenzhou to stand by.

Since ancient times, in the use of troops, there is a front line, and naturally there is also a rear line.

Those who use soldiers well must deploy multiple lines of defense to delay the enemy.

Previously, Zhang Shun used the "Great Depth Attack" tactics against the Ming army, but conversely, the rebel troops stationed in various places in Shanxi could also use the opportunity to deploy a "Great Depth Defense" tactics to deal with the late Jin army from afar.

Whether it is the Ming army or the later Jin army, they always think that Shaanxi and Shanxi are newly attached. As long as they do things in the rear, they will definitely respond to everyone.

However, they never expected Zhang Shun to be anything other than various and dazzling political manipulations.

They actually have [-] soldiers in one go, and they have already dispatched their confidantes to garrison key points in various places, and they will watch all these places to death.
