Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 160 Surprise Attack on Kong Youde

After walking for half a day, the army suddenly visited Ma and reported:

"My lord, the distance ahead is 20 miles from Liaoyang."

"I know, check again and report again"

Too lazy to listen to Hong Chengchou's long-winded words, Kong Youde immediately sent an order to march as soon as possible:

"The cavalry go first, pay attention to observe the enemy's situation ahead, and set up camp five miles away from Liaoyang. After the infantry and artillery are laid, the whole army speeds up the march."

"twitter"

Kong Youde gave an order, and the cavalry quickly left the main force and headed towards Liaoyang.

Hong Chengchou rode on the horse and kept looking around. When he passed Longfeng Mountain, he looked at the surrounding terrain, and he couldn't help sighing.

If Kong Youde listened to him, this is the best ambush point, but unfortunately Kong Youde ignored him and insisted on going straight to Liaoyang.

Unwilling to give up, Hong Chengchou decided to try to persuade Kong Youde again. He didn't believe that the old Jianghu Kong Youde couldn't see such a good terrain.

Urging the horse to catch up with Kong Youde:
"Go slowly, my lord. Look at the terrain here. It's really suitable for ambushes. We can let a small group of troops provoke the Ming army, let them chase here, and catch them all."

In fact, Kong Youde also saw that the terrain here is good. If Hong Chengchou hadn't proposed the plan first, he might have tried it.

But after Hong Chengchou said it, if he did this again and wiped out the Ming army, Hong Chengchou would have made a great contribution, and where would his face as the commander of the entire army be placed.

"Lord Hong, this king finds out that you are very smart, so I will set up five hundred infantry for you. This king will personally go to lure the Ming army. What do you think?"

Hong Chengchou was almost spurted blood by Kong Youde, leaving him with 500 people to ambush, Kong Youde nearly 3 people went to lure the enemy, what logic?

With Hong Chengchou's IQ, how can he not see Kong Youde's careful thinking now.

He will definitely attack Liaoyang by force, and after taking Liaoyang in one go, he will still stay in Longfeng Mountain.

Forget it, anyway, they are all Kong Youde's soldiers, and Hong Chengchou has nothing to do with how many casualties he has paid, at worst, he will run away when he sees that the situation is not right.

"Forget it, since the prince is unwilling, Hong will never mention it again."

Seeing that Hong Chengchou finally stopped pushing, Kong Youde immediately felt relieved.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, artillery roared from the forests on both sides, aiming directly at Kong Youde's artillery, and the solid shells flew towards Kong Youde's artillery team one after another.

Hong Chengchou's complexion changed drastically at that time.

Kong Youde gave Hong Chengchou a hard look:
"Didn't you say that this place is suitable for ambush? How about now, people have already ambushed here..."

"Rumble..."

The shells slanted down like rain, and the solid shells bombarded the artillery and artillerymen violently.

"Boom bang..."

"Where to shoot..."

"Ah...my head...my leg...help..."

The sudden shelling caused the unprepared traitor team to be in chaos. The artillerymen fled in all directions after being bombarded, and the cannons in red showed their true colors.

"123...50"

Huang Ming counted the red-clothed cannons that Kong Youde brought in one breath, a total of 50 red-clothed cannons. Huang Ming was stunned by this number.

"Oh my god, the traitor team actually has so many cannons. Fortunately, Du Duqi has a better move, otherwise these red cannons will blast at Liaoyang..."

Thinking of so many red-clothed cannons bombarding Liaoyang, Huang Ming's scalp felt a little numb.

"fire"

"fire"

"Aim at the red cannon and blast hard."

"Rumble..."

Because this section of the road is not wide and the people are not very concentrated, forming a snake shape, the traitor team ran to one side to find a cover when they saw the shelling, and threw all the cannons in red on the road.

More than 2 people, where there are so many bunkers, they fled to the other side of the mountain one after another, causing a serious stampede, many people were trampled to death or squeezed off the cliff.

Kong Youde repeatedly shot and killed several people, and cursed angrily:

"Don't panic, calm down, and if anyone disturbs our army's morale, the Fa will be executed on the spot."

Under Kong Youde's suppression, the traitor team gradually calmed down, but they knew the power of the artillery, so they all bent down and dared not raise their heads, for fear that the shells would fly on their heads.

Huang Ming saw the chaos of the traitor team, and immediately ordered:

"One thousand flintlock guns fired at the panicked traitor team, and the artillery turned their muzzles to shell the left and right respectively. Whether they hit or missed them, they all fired at the traitor team."

"Yes"

The muzzle immediately turned and began to bombard the distance.

"Liu Yuan, you lead 500 people to rush down the mountain, overthrow all the cannons in red at the foot of the mountain to the cliff, and return quickly after finishing, hurry up!"

"Yes"

Five hundred Qi's troops quickly rushed down the hillside, and soon came to the cannon in red.

The artillery carts of the traitor team are all horse-drawn carts, but the artillery carts are very general, mainly for transportation, and the cannons are not fixed.

Without too much effort, the 500 people overturned all fifty red cannons to the bottom of the cliff, and then retreated quickly.

Seeing that the personnel were safely withdrawn, Huang Ming gave an order:
"Brothers, retreat quickly. There are traitor cavalry ahead. Let's enter the city through the west gate and retreat quickly."

The horses were in the woods behind, two thousand Qi's army retreated to the woods, quickly stepped on the horses and left.

You have to run faster, otherwise when Kong Youde reacts, the 2000 of them will definitely be rounded up.

Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde were tightly guarded by the personal guards.

Kong Youde was so angry, he felt that not only was Hong Chengchou useless, but instead he wanted his personal soldiers to protect him, which was completely a burden.

The shelling stopped suddenly, and the traitor team gradually turned out from one downhill, but suddenly found that the cannons in red were nowhere to be seen.

Hastily reported to Kong Youde:

"My lord, something is wrong. The group of people who bombarded us just now took all our red cannons away."

Kong Youde was taken aback. This news was more important to him than the death of two thousand soldiers. Those cannons were his food.

"Hurry up, they can't run far with the cannon in red, and I must bring the cannon back to me today."

In fact, when Qi's army pushed the cannon, some soldiers on the periphery saw it, but they didn't tell Kong Youde.

Because they all knew that once they told Kong Youde, they must be a group of soldiers who rushed up to have close contact with the shells, and no one would know.

Hong Chengchou walked quickly to the road where the red cannon was parked, and immediately found many traces.

He followed the ruts to the edge of the cliff, and found that all the cannons in red were pushed down the cliff from here.

He immediately shouted to Kong Youde:
"My lord, stop chasing her, the red-clothed cannons are here."

"what?"

Kong Youde was overjoyed and urged his horse to come to the edge of the cliff, but he didn't see anything.

"Master Hong, where is the red cannon?"

"My lord, the cannons in red were pushed off the cliff by them."

"You... poof..."

I don't know if he was angry at Hong Chengchou's half-spoken words, or because he felt sorry for the red-clothed cannon, the big traitor Kong Youde opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
