Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 96 Attack
After Li Yuchun and his party of thousands of riders left Zhujiazhuang, they were not found, or the Ming army outside deliberately pretended not to see it, which made Li Yuchun more proud and arrogant, and kept saying to Yan Wogong that the fake admiral Zhu Wu was a dude. Wang Zhiren, Wang Chaoxian, Zhang Mingzhen, etc. who claim to be able to fight are nothing more than that.

They walked in the dark for a long time, and Zhujiazhuang had been left far behind, separated by several miles, and disappeared under the night.

Ji Shiha has been cursing. He hates the terrain of Jiangnan water town. It looks like a flat river, but riding a horse in it will realize how annoying this place is. There are rivers, ditches, ponds and lakes everywhere, and some places can be crossed directly. But in some places, detours were required, which added a lot of detours to the original short distance, especially in the middle of the night, and we had to avoid arousing the enemy, so we had to use the starlight to grope forward in the field.

From time to time, a horse's hoof got stuck in the mud or stepped into a mud pit. Even the Eight Banners warriors with superb riding skills fell off their horses because of this. Before encountering the enemy, more than a dozen were injured on the road.

In the end, there were a few places where he had to wade through water, which made Ji Shiha wet all over, and there were too many mosquitoes at night, which made him extremely annoyed.

"How damn far is it?"

"Didn't it say it was only ten miles away?"

"Why does it feel like I've been around in the middle of the night?"

Li Yuchun was summoned to scold him, he hurriedly explained to this 'subordinate' Guerrilla, saying that he would be there soon.

Just as he was talking, suddenly bursts of strings sounded in the dark night.

"Enemy attack!"

"There is an ambush!"

As soon as Ji Shiha heard the sound of the strings, he immediately shouted vigilantly, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked around, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark night, only heard the sound of bowstrings in the wind, ringing in all directions.

Then came the screams.

Someone has been shot and screamed.

In the dark night, I don't know how many soldiers ambushed all around, Ji Shiha was furious, "This man is a false spy, he deliberately lured us into an ambush, take down this thief, and cut him down!"

Yan Wogong dismounted from his horse and leaned on his horse to prevent Liushi, while arguing loudly, "Master Manchuria misunderstood the students. This is the only way from Zhujiazhuang to Majiawan. Then Zhu Wu is the admiral of the false Ming, the commander of the whole army, The closer we get to their camp, the more soldiers and horses there will be. If we are not careful enough, it is normal for them to be spotted by their scouts. The students are loyal, and they are by no means spies. Please learn from them.”

Li Yuchun felt that this Yan Wogong was very compatible with him today, especially since the two of them chatted very speculatively along the way, now he firmly believed that Yan Wogong was his Mr. Wolong, and immediately defended him.

"Mr. Yan took the initiative to vote, and brought the defense and plans of the counterfeit thieves. Regardless of the danger, he personally acted as a guide. How could he be a spy?"

Ji Shiha was very angry, he could hear the continuous sound of bowstrings in all directions, and he screamed again and again, "Light the torch and kill over there."

Now that his whereabouts have been leaked, there is no need to cover up!
not far away.

Zhang Mingbin from Zhenbiao Zuoying watched the torches light up one after another in the darkness not far away, and a group of people and horses were gradually appearing, and he couldn't help grinning.

"This group of idiots, light the fire now, isn't it convenient for us to aim and shoot?"

The enemy is in the clear and I am in the dark, which makes it easier for archers to shoot arrows.

Lighting up the torches one by one, Ji Shiha furiously ordered Li Yuchun to lead his Qingqi to rush over to crush those who shot cold arrows.

Li Yuchun was also very angry.

He got on his horse, gave orders again and again, and rushed over with the cavalry himself.

Zhang Mingbin saw the enemy cavalry coming winding like a fire dragon holding torches, he just sneered twice, "Withdraw!"

After finishing speaking, he took the lead and turned around to leave. Behind him was a field of reeds. There were many small boats parked there, waiting for a long time to pick up. Zhang Mingbin and his men quickly retreated to the boat, and then drove the boat into the reeds.

Li Yuchun and others rode their horses to the water's edge, but there was no one there, only arrow feathers shot out from the reeds.

"Fire the rockets and burn the rats inside."

Put on a rocket and shoot it into the reeds, but when Zhang Mingbin and others saw this, they had already rowed away.

Li Yuchun looked at the ignited reeds and the boats that were fading away in the flames, so he could only curse and return angrily.

Counting the people and horses, it turned out that a dozen people were shot dead by a surprise attack, dozens of people were injured, and a few unlucky ghosts fell off their horses and were trampled to death by horses.

Ji Shiha was furious, and hurried to the Zhuwu camp in Mayaohu Lake.

Now that the whereabouts have been leaked, then attack.

The remaining nearly a thousand cavalry speeded up and rushed to Mayao Lake holding torches. After the torches were illuminated, their speed was much faster.

But in this way, it is very eye-catching.

Not long after running forward, countless hidden arrows struck at a water's edge again, shooting down several people.

Li Yuchun led his troops to turn around to kill, but the opponent didn't fight hard. After shooting a few arrows, he turned around and ran away. As before, he escaped directly on the water by boat.

The cavalry still can only look at the water and sigh.

At this time, Mr. Yan also kindly reminded Li Yuchun, "The fake thieves are definitely trying to delay our army and give Zhu Wu time to escape. We can't be fooled. Please ignore these little thieves and go directly to the fake admiral. Daying, don't let him run away."

Li Yuchun came to his senses, "Oh, I was so confused by these guys, I almost let the big fish go, pass the order, if you encounter these little thieves sneaking up on the road, ignore it, and run directly to the false admiral's camp, don't let him run away gone."

Holding torches, the cavalry accelerated regardless of their speed.

Zhang Mingbin was also rushing back, but he was walking on the water by boat. Soldiers were carried on small boats or even wooden rafts. They were no slower than cavalry along the water network extending in all directions. They could even take shortcuts, which was faster.

"These Tartar traitors reacted very quickly."

As soon as the words fell, a bridge that the Tartars were passing suddenly exploded. Amidst a burst of flames and loud noises, the stone bridge on the small river was blown up into the sky, and the dozen or so riders on the bridge followed.

Horses neighed and people howled, blood and flesh splashed all over the sky.

The sound was as loud as thunder, and the shocked people panicked.

Li Yuchun's horses all stood up.

In the flames, a small boat quickly rowed away from under the broken bridge. It was Yebushou who had just detonated the explosives.

One hit and go.

The creek is not wide, but without the stone bridge, it is very inconvenient. Seeing the people and horses being cut in half, Ji Shiha gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

But soon the sound of drums came, and many wooden rafts of boats rushed out from both sides of the river at the same time, full of soldiers, rowed to the vicinity of the captives, and shot at the captives and traitors on both sides of the river with bows and arrows.

Ji Shi sighed and held the bow and kept shooting arrows.

The two sides shoot back and forth.

Ji Shiha fired several arrows in succession and shot down several Ming soldiers on the ship. Just as he felt relieved, he saw a flash of flames on a larger ship, and then a roar.

There was a cannon on the boat.

After the first cannon fired, the cannons on several ships followed suit.

These cannons are also small cannons such as small Francophones, tiger squats and even carrying guns, but although the cannons are small, they are placed on the boats in the river at this time, and they are very close to the enemy cavalry on both sides. Both sides are firing at each other. Neither the sons nor the traitors expected that there were cannons on these Ming army ships.

Suddenly, there were several consecutive bangs, and countless lead bullets and iron nails blasted in.

The very dense formation doubled the lethality.

Amidst bursts of screams, groups of people fell down.

It actually produced a more ruthless killing effect than the red cannon.

On a boat, Ruan Jin wiped the sweat off his face and shouted excitedly, "Come again!"

A moment later, there were countless gunfires, followed by screams again and again.

Although the Tartars were good at archery, they were stunned by the blow at this moment. No matter how hard the bow and arrow were, it was not as powerful as this gun cannon. The sound alone was enough to scare people.

The Tartar horse screamed in fright.

Ji Shiha shook his head, which made the trembling Weng Weng recover a little bit. Seeing more and more boats coming from both sides, he had no choice but to raise his voice and shout, "Retreat!"

Ji Shiha took the lead to avoid this place on horseback, and backed away.

Looking at the warship that was still breathing fire, Ji Shiha ordered to go around.

After this ambush, Qianqi's men and horses were divided into two, and half of them crossed the bridge and half were still here. Now they can only fight on their own, each find their own way, and continue to rush to Zhuwu's camp by the Mayao Lake.

Zhang Mingbin jumped into Ruan Jin's boat.

"Unexpectedly, the South China Sea dragon can still stir up wind and waves when it comes to this small river ditch in Jiaxing."

Ruan Jin took out two betel nuts, threw one into his mouth, and threw the other to Zhang Mingbin, "The Tartar reacts very quickly."

"It's okay, let's go to the next intersection and continue to fuck him."

······
Li Yuchun and Yan Ergong led hundreds of cavalry to clear the way for the Manchurian adults. After the bridge was blown up, they separated from Jishiha.

Li Yuchun, who was about to breathe fire in his eyes, gritted his teeth and cursed the shamelessness of the Ming army. If he wanted to fight, he would fight with dignity. He sneaked and counted a ball along the way, and even planted explosives to blow up the bridge.

"Did the thief Ming expect us to come?" Li Yuchun was a little skeptical.

Yan Wogong leaned on the saddle and was a little out of breath, "It is absolutely impossible. If we really expected us to come, I am afraid that more ambushes would have ambushed long ago, but judging from the situation just now, they just heard the warning and rushed Just come to stop it."

"What should we do now? The night attack is exposed, withdraw or continue?"

Yan Wogong said without hesitation, "The students thought that since the sneak attack failed, it is better to withdraw to Zhujiazhuang first and find another opportunity."

"But, how can you return without success?"

If Mr. Yan insisted on persuading him to continue attacking the camp, then Li Yuchun would have doubted whether this person was a spy sent by the false admiral, but now that he did not hesitate to persuade him to retreat, Li Yuchun would not doubt it.

He even began to analyze, "Those fake thieves are so tenacious in blocking, doesn't it mean that the fake admiral Zhu Wuguo is on the bank of Mayao Lake? Then this shows that our plan is correct. The stick hit them seven inches, so they It’s because we’re scared that we rush to stop them so desperately, so we have to keep going.”

"The opportunity is rare, don't miss it."

"But the army must not underestimate the enemy. Now that the Manchurian soldiers are scattered, we will not be able to reach five hundred light cavalry. Our whereabouts have been leaked. If there is no sneak attack and a strong attack, I am afraid that we may not be able to fight." Yan Wogong hurriedly continued to persuade.

"Ji Shiha won't give up easily. Look at the fire over there, isn't it continuing to go to Mayao Lake? Let's just run to the Mayao Lake camp, and we will naturally meet Ji Shiha there."

"Military sect, please think twice, our whereabouts are exposed, we have no chance, why not withdraw troops for now, and look for another opportunity."

Li Yuchun shook his head, "On the battlefield, the opportunity to fight is changing rapidly. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed. You are not a general. I don't know that in this kind of situation, you will be unable to retreat. You must hold your breath and work hard."
