Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 118
Under the high platform of the Chinese army, the atmosphere fell into silence.

The officers jokingly looked at the envoy who was talking nonsense.

What time is this?Your main force has been besieged in the city, and it is clear at a glance who wins and loses!
"General, you are very prosperous now! But you know."

"Hey, you want to say that I am already in a high position at such a young age, and I am also a top family in the dynasty. With the Northwest Frontier Army behind me, I am already on the verge of being suspected by the royal family. If you suppress you Bailian again this time If the sect is successful, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the royal family? Heh, what is your White Lotus sect? Even if you are wiped out, you can make a certain family great success?"

As soon as he heard what this man said, Jia Hui guessed what he wanted to say.

It's just that he will be suspected, his achievements will shock the master, etc.
These days, even scriptwriters find this rhetoric cliché!
Even though he seems to be in power, in fact, he is still far from the Jia family's heyday!

Ningguo Mansion next door is not only the Great Sima General with himself, but also the hereditary commander of the Beijing Camp, the Shangzhu Kingdom, the Grand Master of Wuyingdian, the former military governor of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, and the founding of the country. .

Jia Hun's great-grandfather, Jia Yuan, did not give in too much, Dazhu Kingdom, General Yunhui, Minister of the Ministry of War, the Governor of the Five Armies, the Governor of the Chinese Army, and the founding minister Rong Guogong.

The most important thing is that the two of them stood in the hall at the same time!

Not to mention the next generation of Duke Rong, Jia Hui’s grandfather, Jia Daishan, grew up with the emperor in crotch pants, a companion, a confidant, a brother, and the number one horse boy.

In addition, the ministers and in-laws of the Jiangnan clan who basically suffered no losses in the war, let alone ordinary people, even Jia Hui still does not fully understand how strong the Jia family was in its heyday and how trusted it was by the royal family!
Where is Jia Hui?
"This" I heard a series of familiar words spoken by Jia Hui without any pause. He didn't even notice Jia Hui's contempt for the White Lotus Sect.He was stunned on the spot without knowing what he was doing.

"Hey, I'm talking about you. Is someone right? What are you doing in a daze? Answer me!"

Ok?
Hearing Jia Hun's impatient tone on the high platform, he quickly apologized.

He straightened up again.

"Since the general knows his situation, why is he still working for Qi Ting? Why don't you switch to my White Lotus Sect? I teach the leader."

"Cut the fucking nonsense and get to the point!"

Am I a rebel or are you a rebel?
The envoy was full of slanders, but he still handed Jia Hun the decree to persuade him to surrender from the leader, and stood under the high platform and spoke to Jia Hun.

"My family's leader said that you, general, are too talented and not worthy of your strength! My family's leader is willing to seal the king with the cracked earth, and make the entire Shaanxi Xingdusi and Anxiduhufu your fief as a condition. , everyone here can get a title comparable to your own ability, please turn to the light and lead these tiger and wolf teachers to join my White Lotus Sect, and together establish a Buddhist kingdom on earth, everyone can."

As the messenger spoke, he was about to spread the teachings of the White Lotus Sect to the officers around him, but seeing the cold eyes of the officers, the messenger followed his heart and calmed down. .

Split the earth and become king?manor?Title?Oh, after all, don’t you want to be the emperor?One after another, even if the earliest slogans of this gang of rebels are louder than the last, what will happen in the end?Instead of proclaiming emperors and founding countries one after another, he turned around and became the person he once hated the most.

Suddenly I lost interest in the White Lotus Sect. One of the main reasons why the White Lotus Sect rebelled was that when they launched the rescue of the servants and servants to make them stand up and be the masters, they thought their teachings had mutated and turned red. Similarly, let the oppressed working people stand up and call the shots!
If this is the case, then what's the harm in giving up this wealth and honor to follow them?
Unfortunately, as more and more intelligence came to Jia Hui, he discovered that the White Lotus Sect was not even worthy of carrying shoes for that group of people. They were just a group of pure evil rebels who only knew how to confuse people with their evil words.

In the end, it was once again confirmed between the lines of the leader of the White Lotus Sect that the leader of Lao Shizi wanted to be the emperor. Jia Hui smiled disdainfully and threw this thing called a legal decree, which was actually an imperial edict, off the high platform.
"Who's father's crotch thread is open? A thing popped up claiming to be in the body, and he wants to pass on Laozi's edict to Lao Tzu? Send the firearms battalion, and beat me hard again!"

The officers under the high platform roared out at the same time, frightening the emissary so that he fell to the ground, and the white lining turned yellow instantly.

"Hang this traitor's head on the flagpole for me!"

"No, no, general! If the two armies are fighting, if you don't kill the envoy, killing the envoy will damage your reputation, general, think twice!" Hearing that he was about to die, the envoy who was sitting on the ground suddenly After regaining his spirit, he wailed and begged for mercy to Jia Hun who was on the high platform.

"Then hang him on the flagpole!"

You are really kind!
The messenger was completely desperate. On this sunny day, he was afraid that he would have to choose between dehydration and sunburn in less than two hours.
No one paid any attention to the envoy's thoughts, but two personal soldiers stepped out, set up the envoy on one left and one on the right, and walked towards the flagpole.

"Master, this disciple has done his best."

. . . . . .

"Master, look, is there someone hanging on the flagpole?" Huguang General Soldier vaguely saw something hanging on an empty flagpole of the Chinese Army opposite, and looked it over carefully, it seemed to be a person.

"What? I see"

whoosh-

"cannon!"

Boom!
A cannonball accurately hit the northwest corner of the city wall. The leader was stunned by the shock caused by the bombardment and his mind went blank. He looked around blankly.

A big hand grabbed his arm and pulled him back. The leader just stood up instinctively and ran with the owner of the hand. It wasn't until he got down from the city wall that the leader regained his senses.

"call--"

Too dangerous!If the cannonball hits a foot higher, it will not hit the female wall but hit him!
"Are you okay? Leader, leader?"

"Ah, hurry up, let the Shandong General Army lead the troops to rush out as planned!"

"Yes!"

The artillery fire roared, and shells as small as a seven-year-old child's fist slammed into the northwest corner of the already battered and dilapidated city, knocking down a small brick wall and leaking out the layer of rammed earth.

"There is a wall brick in the northwest corner that has been smashed, brothers, hit me towards the gap!" The commander of the firearms battalion saw the wall brick in the northwest corner that was shattered and fell off, and immediately shouted excitedly , turned around and gave orders to his subordinates.One by one, the artillery began to adjust the direction of the muzzle.
"Master, the leader has ordered you to rush out!"

"Follow the law!"

The Shandong general soldier looked up to the sky and roared loudly, knocked the horse's belly hard and rushed out.

The infantry behind them also roared, and the whole army rushed out of the city towards the east.

Hearing a roar from Dongcheng, the leader hammered the ground unwillingly, and then regained the appearance of an expert who had everything under control.

Why only pick the east?

There is no need to think about the west, there may be reinforcements from the Qi army in the west at any time.The Holy Religion's army was obviously weaker than the Qi army, not in terms of personal force, but in terms of military formations and coordination. When the number of soldiers was small, they were able to break up the Qi army's formations and form a generally single force. Against one another, once the scale of Qi's army increases, the strict military formation will wipe out the Holy Religion's army.

If they bump into the reinforcements of the Qi army on the way to the west to get food, there is a high probability that the opponent will not be less than 1 people.
As for the south, if you want to go out of the city to plunder, you must cross the canal. Although the canal provides more defense than the ordinary moat, the canal is also wider than the ordinary moat!
It can be said that apart from the Xijindu Camp, there are more cannons in the south!
Don't even think about going to the north, go down the river to fish?

It's better to take advantage of the fact that the army in the east is still small and fight out!

The eyes of the Shandong General Soldier gradually become firmer, and the survival of the holy religion is here to fight!

. . . . . .

Qi army camp in the east of the city.

A neat army array was arranged on the ground, with ten cannons disassembled from warships at the front.

"Uncle, Lord Commander, why didn't they immediately turn south after leaving the city, but instead came to attack our army two miles away from the city gate?" the young soldier asked, holding the reins of the Commander's war horse.

"Because they have to cross the river. If we catch up and attack them while they are crossing the river, even if they repel us, the losses will definitely be considerable. It is better to defeat us first, which can save a lot of trouble. This Are you treating me like a soft persimmon?" The commander looked at the rebels who had been jogging since they left the city gate.

"This enemy general is also a talent. Say he is stupid, but he still knows how to jog to save energy. Say he is not stupid. He knows we have artillery but he doesn't know how to spread out and reload the cannon!"

"Reload the cannon! Hit the soldiers behind!"

"Reload the cannon! Hit the soldiers behind!"

The commander's order was shouted to the artillery by the messengers. The artillery quickly adjusted the muzzle and put the filled sub-cannon into the mother cannon.

"put!"

The artilleryman ignited the matchlock, and the matchlock ignited the gunpowder. With a muffled sound, the solid bullets were pushed out of the gun barrel by the massive momentum generated by the burning of the gunpowder, and flew into the air.
"cannon!"

Boom!
The cannonball ruthlessly blasted into the crowd who couldn't dodge, and the few people who were directly hit exploded in an instant, but it still didn't stop the cannonball from continuing to move forward.

After the cannonball hit the ground, it bounced up again and killed a few unlucky people again. This time it stopped bouncing, but its still fast rolling speed and its own weight broke the legs of many people.

The gunpowder smoke filled the air, leaving only the people who were seriously injured and fell to the ground crying.
"Change bombs!"

The enemy's wailing did not arouse the slightest pity from the commander, but continued to give orders coldly.

Upon hearing the commander's order, the artilleryman quickly grasped the handle of the sub-cannon and took it out with a forceful twist. His comrades who had been prepared immediately placed another sub-cannon on the mother cannon.

"put!"

The artilleryman lit the matchlock on the cannon again, and another round of shells flew out, hitting the enemy ranks again.

Shandong General Soldier is bleeding in his heart!

These 1 men are the last elite of the Holy Cult in Zhenjiang City, and there are even [-] armored men!
The original plan was to rely on them to break through the Qi army's formation in the east of the city, and then let the army behind swarm up and annihilate this army with more enemies and fewer enemies.But in the end, the armored elite who rushed to the second echelon were the first to be blown away by the cannon and the array was scattered!

"Run away, run away!"

Needless to say, the commander-in-chief had already dispersed, and the third wave of bombardment had reduced a lot of losses, but in this way, the commander-in-chief's plan to hit the noodles with points was aborted.

"Back the artillery! Get on the shield!"

The artillerymen quickly pulled the artillery cart back and hid behind the shield cart. They replaced the bows and arrows.

Hey, before I became an artilleryman, I was also a famous archer in Jiangnan Camp!

Twenty or so artillerymen hid behind the shield car and began to snipe and kill those low-level officers who looked like small flags and general flags.

Just as the rebels trotted to the front of the Qi army, the shield chariots were linked together, forming a temporary but very stable "city wall"!
This is the way to deal with the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry on the grasslands during the Taizu period - the chariot formation. It was not until the development and popularization of artillery that this chariot formation was gradually replaced by the artillery formation.I have hardly seen it in the south, all I need is a surprise!
"Cenna!" Seeing the Qi army shrinking into the turtle shell, the Shandong general was so shocked!

"Master, what should we do?" the soldier asked quickly.

"It doesn't matter, leave five thousand households to drag them, and the rest will continue to walk east with me!"

The Shandong general knew that the five thousand households who were left to lead the Qi army would definitely be doomed.

With the same number of people, the Qi army has nothing to fear!

After only confronting the Qi army in the east of the city for a short time about [-] steps away, five thousand households stayed behind and prepared to fight with the Qi army.In order to consume more elites of the Qi army, the Shandong general army also deliberately retained one thousand soldiers.

The White Lotus Army who stayed in place didn't have any strange emotions.

The dog officers and soldiers only relied on the advantage of artillery to fight against my Holy Cult. If they fight with real swords and guns, whoever loses may not be the loser!

These fanatical followers of the White Lotus Sect are not afraid!

Raising the long spear longer than the horse's spear, the soldiers also raised their heavy weapons, ready to rush into the Qi army's formation.

Reluctantly took the remaining seven thousand households to detour and left the Qi army's chariot formation, and the Shandong General Army continued to march eastward!

Don't worry, I will definitely bring the food back, you won't die in vain!
You must use Jia Hun's head to commemorate your souls!

"Hey, these people are here to die." The commander grinned.

"Uncle, what's the next fight? We are all soldiers, can we disperse them with a single charge?" The soldier looked at his uncle, the commander, with excitement.

A man's romance is the work of real knives and real guns!
"Go out? Who wants to go out? Why do you have to fight with them despite heavy casualties when you can slowly wear them to death?" The commander looked at his nephew with a curious look on his face.

"Ah? Don't we need to chase the enemy?" The soldier was a little surprised.

"I haven't received a military order to pursue them. Don't worry, this rebel army won't come back."

"why?"

"Because Uncle Pingliang's men are in Danyang County."
