Chapter 171 Decisive Battle in Lingchuan

Zhang Shun left the Shunwangping camp here, originally planning to search for some supplies and return, but he did not expect such a change in form.He was very aware that the soldiers were dangerous and unpredictable, and he didn't know how long it would take before he could return, so he hurriedly arranged everything in the camp before setting off.

He then sent his sworn brother Xiao Qinhu to lead dozens of people to escort the purchased supplies to meet Zhao Yutou in Dongping and return to the camp together.

Appoint his own woman, Hong Niangzi, as the head of the camp, and Jian'er as his deputy, in charge of all matters in the camp.After Zhao Yutou returned to the camp, he was in charge of the camp's luggage and supplies; his second brother Xiao Qinhu was in charge of the camp's military affairs.

They also arranged for Chen Jingzhi and Liu Yinggui to follow Xiao Qinhu back to the camp. Among them, Chen Jingzhi was in charge of bookkeeping, Liu Yinggui was in charge of fishing in Dongping, and Ji Cheng was in charge of herding horses and cattle.He also ordered Liu Gang to use a thousand catties of refined iron trained by "Lanhua Charcoal" before to make "Lumi Gun".

It turned out that the blunderbuss that Deputy General Wu Xian used to attack Chen Changzhu was the Nalumi blunderbuss. This blunderbuss has a longer range and greater power than ordinary military bird bludgeons.Later military books all mentioned that "the bird gun is the farthest and the most poisonous".

Zhang Shun originally thought that with his later generations' knowledge, he should be able to improve it, but now that the matter is urgent, he can't take much care of it, so he just let the blacksmith imitate it directly.

After all the arrangements were made, Zhang Shun readjusted the team structure, making Zhang Shenyan the military judge, Chen Jindou the counselor, and Xu Ziyuan the supply officer.Chen Changbing was in charge of scouting and investigation, Liu became the officer of the cavalry, and Li Shi'an was the officer of the Second Artillery Battalion.

Appointing Jiang He as the front army, Wei Congyi as the rear army, Zhang Sanbai from the left army, Li Jiyu from the right army, plus he said he led the central army, a total of more than a thousand soldiers, just rushed to Lingchuan with light clothes.The "Left Gold King" He Jin saw that Zhang Shun was calm and composed, and Zhang Shun's subordinates were orderly, so he was somewhat impressed.

It turned out that this person heard that Zhang Shun was nothing more than a rioter in Henan, so he fled in a hurry, just looking for a place to stay.Now that I saw this person, I realized how untrue the rumors were.In just a few months, this person managed to defeat the governor of Shanxi, Song Tongyin, and Zezhou City. He has trained such strict subordinates, which shows that he has extraordinary means.

It is more than two hundred miles from Yangcheng to Lingchuan.There are many mountains and forests in Zezhou, and the roads are rough and difficult. Zhang Shun arrived at Zezhou City the next day.That night, the second master "Zijinliang" and "Chuangjiang" Huang Laier held a grand banquet to welcome Zhang Shun.

It turned out that the "Crossing General" Huang Lai'er sent people to investigate for a long time, even went deep into the bottom of the cliff to find the body of "Xing Shi", only then did he realize that he had wronged the "Optimus Prime" brother.As for the matter that the "Optimus Prime" brother swallowed two thousand taels of silver from me, I have the right to pretend that it didn't happen.

This time everyone persuaded the "Optimus Prime" brothers to drink a lot, and Zhang Shun suddenly drank too much.Just taking advantage of Jiu Jin, Zhang Shun was able to open up to say a lot of things that were inconvenient to say.

Zhang Shun drunkenly said: "Second master, you are a bit sorry for me, little brother! That Han Tingxian is no more than a lackey of the court, who dares to encourage the big households in the city to rebel and deal with my supply camp. I kill it like a chicken, why should I stay?" His life? Isn't it because of your face as the second master?"

"In the end, how did you treat me? Even killing this person, I don't want to do it for peace of mind. Do you look down on my brother? Think I'm young!"

"Zijinliang" was very embarrassed when he heard the words. After the previous defeat, not only did he not kill Han Tingxian when he caught him, but he used his relationship to ask Zhang Daojun again for help, but he suffered an even more shameful failure.

Now that I saw the righteousness and advocacy, I was speechless, so I could only sneer and say: "Brother is stupid, thanks to the little brother who saved me many times. I keep this person but it is not for selfish reasons, it is just to find a way out for the brothers .”

Zhang Shun said as much as he wanted, and he didn't push "Zijin Liang" too much, so he pretended to accept his excuse.Then he blamed "Chuang Wang" Huang Lai'er and said: "I don't need to talk about your family's scandal, it's just that my brother has done so much for you. You not only don't appreciate me, but also suspect me, but what a gentleman does?"

That Huang Lai'er was not good at words, but when Zhang Shun questioned him face to face, he had nothing to say, so he raised his glass and said: "Little brother Gao Yi, I am ashamed of my brother, I am punished with three glasses of wine, and I am ashamed of myself." meaning!"

Zhang Shun saw that Huang Lai'er was also subdued, so he gave up.So far, full of wine and food, Zhang was supported by Wukong to go back to his room to rest.The second master "Zijinliang" and "Crossing General" Huang Laier couldn't help but looked at each other, speechless.

It turned out that these two people still had a grudge against Zhang Shun, and they were afraid that Zhang Shun would hide something from them.The old and cunning two of them discussed to get Zhang Shun drunk to see if he could tell the truth after drinking.As a result, Zhang Shun was frank and frank, and the two of them became villains instead.

These two people trusted Zhang Shun a lot because of what happened last night.So, early the next morning, the two went to Zhang Shun's residence together to discuss with him about the use of troops in Lingchuan.

Since the rebels joined forces to take Zezhou City, there were not many officers and soldiers in Zezhou who could fight against the rebels, and only Zhang Daojun and Wang Zhaosheng were left.

That Zhang Daojun lay in ambush on the bank of the Qinshui River before, but his success was on the brink of failure, his vitality was seriously injured, and he was unable to threaten the officers and soldiers for a while.And that Wang Zhaosheng was stationed in Lingchuan in the northwest of Zezhou, threatening the safety of Zezhou City at all times.

Wu Xian, who was captured by Zhang Shun before, was a subordinate of the Southern Hebei Military Preparedness King Zhaosheng.Bingbeidao is an official post with Ming Dynasty characteristics, and its full name is Zhengjibingbeidao.

Military preparation and Taoist officials are usually served by deputy envoys or officials of the procuratorate. They are mainly responsible for the division of military affairs in the jurisdiction, supervising the local army, managing local soldiers, money and grain, and farming, and maintaining local law and order.

This is a typical official position in which civil servants serve as military positions. It is precisely because of this strange position in the Ming Dynasty that a group of civil officials with high military level have been trained.In the late Ming Dynasty, culture was emphasized over military affairs. General soldiers and deputy general soldiers were controlled by governors and governors; while general soldiers and deputy general soldiers were under the control of generals, guerrillas, and garrison officers.

To a certain extent, Zhaosheng, the military preparation king, is the governor of the local trumpet, and his position is more important than that of the governor of Shanxi for the Zezhou rebels.What's more, many military officials were originally candidates for the governor.This is also one of the reasons why "Zijin Liang" specially summoned rebels to attack this person together.

This person is not a civil servant who doesn't understand military affairs like Song Tongyin, but has some skills because of his years of experience in military preparation.When "Crossing General" Huang Lai'er swept Lingchuan before, he suffered a lot from meeting him.

At this time, Wang Zhaosheng, like Zhang Daojun, was relatively young, and was called "Zelu Shuangjie" by Shanxi people for a while. "Zijinliang" was afraid that he would stumble again like the last time he dealt with Zhang Daojun, so he simply used more to fight less, preparing to break this bureaucrat.

Lingchuan is only a hundred miles away from Zezhou City. Although Lingchuan is mountainous, the terrain is high in the northeast and low in the southwest.The road from Zezhou to Lingchuan happens to be between the mountains, but it is flat.

After the rebel army regrouped and set off, it took two days for the road to reach Lingchuan County, but unexpectedly encountered Wang Zhaosheng's officers and soldiers that night.It turned out that this is the most convenient road between Lingchuan and Zezhou. When the rebel army wanted to attack Lingchuan, the officers and soldiers actually wanted to attack Zezhou City.So the two sides met unexpectedly.

Don't look at "Zijinliang" who is usually stupid, but he is still a good fighter in war.He quickly ordered the rebel army to form a formation and fight against the officers and soldiers.

At this time, Zhang Shun's troops were on the left wing, Huang Lai'er's troops were on the right wing, and "Zijin Liang" was in the middle of the army, and the three troops were deployed one by one, blocking the road in the middle of the valley.And the weaker Mantianxing was regarded as the reserve team.

Looking from the front, Zhang Shun saw that the officers and soldiers were lined up neatly and divided into three groups, facing the rebel army.In addition to not being able to see the layout behind the formation, there are no flowers on the surface.

As the saying goes: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins." At this time, there are mountains on both sides, and there is only a deadly battle.

After the formation of the two sides was completed, they began to gradually advance relative to each other.Both sides have more than [-] men and horses, shouting at three steps and drinking at five steps, boosting each other's morale and intimidating each other.

Due to the reflection of the valley, the voices of both sides calling were deafening.Even Zhang Shun, who had always been calm, felt a little excited.

When the two sides entered the range of the artillery, Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, seeing that "Zijin Liang" did not give the order to stop and shoot, so he kept silent and continued to urge the team to move forward.

It turned out that these days, after seeing the power of Zhang Shun's artillery, the rebel army also tried to supervise the construction of a batch of artillery. Although the performance and power were not very good, they were barely usable.The officers and soldiers on the other side are the subordinates of King Zhaosheng of Bingbei Dao. He was originally in charge of managing local soldiers, horses, money and food, farming, maintaining local law and order, etc. He had already equipped his subordinates with various common firearms.On the contrary, just like the governor Song Tongyin, they only temporarily transferred troops from the local area, and could not specifically interfere with the different equipment of the troops.

It's just that the caliber of the artillery on both sides is small and they like to shoot shotgun, so they didn't order to shoot.When the two sides were close to a stone's throw, they stopped and started shooting at each other.

The long-range weapons equipped by both sides are more complete than Zhang Shun's team except for artillery.For a while, the bows and arrows and firecrackers of the two sides came and went, and the fight was lively and tight.However, the distance is relatively long, except for a few unlucky ones, the overall hit rate is terrible.

At this distance, Zhang Shun's team was embarrassingly tight. Shooting with live ammunition was too close, but shooting with shotgun was too far away.Zhang Shun had no choice but to order Li Shi'an to shell with live ammunition.

Originally, due to the inertial thinking of later generations, Zhang Shun paid more attention to the lethality of the artillery on the explosive bullets and shotgun shells. Unexpectedly, the live ammunition has a very good short-range shooting effect.As long as each shot penetrates into the crowd, it is guaranteed to kill a large number of people.

Even some artillery shells entered the crowd for some reason, bouncing and bouncing, which was even more terrifying, and could even kill the enemy directly.Li Shi'an was also very clever. After shooting several rounds in a row, he actually discovered part of the law of "jumping bullets", so he asked his artillery to adjust the muzzle so that every shell "jumps" as much as possible.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers opposite Zhang Shun couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to take advantage of the gap between Zhang Shun's cannon fire and charged.Based on past experience, Zhang Shun specially prepared a few cannons loaded with shotgun shells, and when the officers and soldiers approached, he fired at once, taking the lives of a large number of officers and soldiers in an instant.

It's just that the officers and soldiers encountered this time are completely different from the ones who were about to collapse at the first touch. These officers and soldiers not only did not flee, but instead killed them with red eyes.Zhang Shun had no choice but to order his soldiers to step forward to maintain the front line.

The soldiers under Zhang Shun's command that fought against the officers and soldiers happened to be Zhang Sanbai of the left army, Jiang He of the former army, and Li Jiyu of the right army.It doesn't matter that Jiang He's soldiers are excellent.It's just that Zhang Sanbai and Li Jiyu's recruits were struggling, and they began to retreat slowly shortly after the battle.

Zhang Shun hastily ordered Zhang Shenyan to enforce the military law, retreated and killed on the spot, and managed to stabilize the formation.Zhang Shun knew that this situation could not last long, so he had to quickly find a way to stop the officers and soldiers.

Although it was an anxious period, Zhang Shun did not forget to take a look at the battle situation.I saw that the "Zijinliang" team had a large number of people, although their quality was a little lower, they could still fight on par with officers and soldiers.Look at that "General" Huang Laier, even though he lost the fierce general "Fanshan Harrier" Gao Jie, he was still relatively capable of fighting, and even suppressed the attack of the officers and soldiers for a while.

Zhang Shun looked at his team again, and it was obvious that there was a big gap with them, especially the soldiers who were fighting, all began to look fearful and lost their momentum.

At this time, the artillery had been loaded, and Li Shi'an hurried over to ask for orders.Zhang Shun gritted his teeth when he heard the words, and ordered several cannons to be placed behind Zhang Sanbai's troops, and ordered Zhang Sanbai's combat personnel to rotate.

It turns out that when fighting in an formation, the soldiers on both sides are often the ones in the front row, and the people behind are all people who check for gaps and make up for omissions, so they cannot directly participate in the battle.

Zhang Shun ordered Ma Yingniang's women's battalion to sew small flags for the soldiers for this kind of fine command. Once the first row of his subordinates cannot stop the enemy's attack, or are tired and disabled, they can remove the first row and replace it with the next one. Even engage in combat.

However, this move is risky. If you encounter an experienced opponent, and you take advantage of your rotation to launch a charge, it may cause confusion in the formation and the result of the entire army being defeated.This is also the reason why Zhang Shun placed the artillery behind Zhang Sanbai's troops. Once Zhang Sanbai's troops couldn't resist, the military law must be ruthless, regardless of whether the enemy is friend or not, and they will be cleared out with shotguns.

Zhang Sanbai was well aware of the urgency of the situation, so Nati slipped a three-pointed double-edged knife and shouted: "Second Shi, step forward to confront the enemy, and the first Shi should stabilize the battle line first! Anyone who dares to turn around without obeying orders, kill them!" No pardon!"

While calling, Zhang Sanbai saw that a soldier had turned around, so he rushed over and stabbed him to death on the spot.Then he chopped off the man's head, grabbed it with his hand, and held it above his head.He didn't care about the sticky blood dripping on his face, and shouted loudly: "Those who don't obey orders are such thieves!"

Seeing that Sanbai's head was covered with blood and his face was stained, like a ghost from hell, the other volunteers immediately fell silent and stepped forward courageously, not daring to relax.It wasn't until the two groups of men and horses rushed forward, and the officers and soldiers were overwhelmed and retreated steadily, that Zhang Sanbai ordered the first group to retreat.
