My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 227 No martial ethics

All the generals in the Jiangnan Camp were stunned when they heard that Huben Camp actually came to the door.

You must know that they have a full army of 20,000 people, and they have already found out the number of people in the Huben Camp. They can only hold 10,000 people to death. How can they have the courage to attack their camp?

An officer jumped up on the spot, "Sir, is this Jia Yu too crazy?

Thousands of people dare to provoke us, do you really think we are fools? "

"Yes, didn't he just happen to defeat the Mongolian Tatars? After winning the battle, he no longer knows his surname?"

Lu Peiyi's face was also a little uncertain. Originally, he was still hesitating whether to be merciful when attacking the Huben camp and not to cause too many killings.

I never thought that before I went there, the other party would take the initiative to deliver it to my door.

This is like a hungry wolf who originally planned to find trouble for a rabbit, but before he went out, the rabbit came to the door, which made him feel offended and annoyed.

"Okay... okay... It is said that since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. I have been staying in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years and have not been in Shenjing for a long time. I never thought that today I would be despised by a yellow-tongued boy. It's really good!"

Lu Peiyi stood up and snorted: "Come here!"

"Please tell me, my lord!"

"What...artillery?"

"Here!"

Outside the main camp of the Jiangnan Camp, groups of soldiers wearing red and white military uniforms came from a distance. They lined up neatly in a square formation of five hundred people.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Seeing the generals leaving in droves, Lu Peiyi snorted and turned his attention outside the camp again.

"Old Sir, what are you doing?" When the soldiers left, everyone looked at their coach with admiration.

Each of these soldiers carried a long imitation brown Bess musket on their shoulders, and the bayonets on the spears shone with a cold light in the sun.

The marching speed of these soldiers was not fast, but they were extremely neat.

Lu Peiyi said in a concentrated voice: "General, everyone should perform their duties and prepare to fight!"

Lu Pei glanced over with resolute eyes: "Do you want to disobey military orders?"

"Somebody come!"

Just by saying that the whole army is facing the enemy, things cannot be good today.

If you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences. With 56 million taels of silver in front of you, not to mention a Huben camp, even the King of Heaven will not let it go.

But their artillery has a common problem of this era, that is, it is very heavy and heavy. It is too troublesome to transport the Hongyi cannon, which weighs one or two thousand kilograms.

“We finally got here, and before we even had time to take a sip of water, this kid came to the door while we were still on our feet.

The heavy footsteps seemed to make the earth tremble for me. Under the command of the officers, the front phalanx stood less than a mile away from the camp.

Now everyone was shocked.

That's all. Now that we've even dragged out the artillery, what does this mean? If you have the ability, let's fight knife to knife and gun to gun!

What's the point of bullying people with artillery? "

The person next to him was stunned: "Sir, the person we sent to inquire hasn't come back yet?"

"Pass the order from me, general, and unite the entire army to prepare to meet the enemy!"

No wonder Jiang is still so hot, look at his shame.

No one around him paid attention to him. Fighting was not just a house game. Naturally, he would use all possible means. How could he have to discuss with his opponent about the weapons he should use?

Do you think everyone is Song Xianggong?

If a fight really breaks out later, the difference between having cannons and not having cannons is really huge.

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to Lu Peiyi.

Now I suddenly saw that the other party actually brought the artillery, and my heart skipped a beat.

He clearly led an army to find trouble for the other party, but now he can still fight against it without changing his expression. No wonder he can be the head coach, while he can only serve as an errand under others.

As long as he defeated the army in front of him and presented fifty million taels of silver, even if the current emperor blamed him, the Supreme Emperor would still be in the way, so he didn't have to worry at all.

Lu Peiyi took a deep breath and called a soldier, "You...go and ask Jia Yu, the boy opposite, why he sent troops to surround my camp, and what on earth is he going to do?"

The guerrilla named Dong couldn't help shouting.

Although artillery is not a rare item, there are also many in Jiangnan Camp, and there are quite a lot of them.

Lu Peiyi ignored the looks cast by his generals. His expression kept changing, as if he was thinking about something embarrassing.

These people have been in peace for so long that they don't even know what it means to be a soldier.

Just when everyone looked grave, a sharp-eyed guerrilla suddenly pointed forward and exclaimed: "No, those bastards from the bastard capital actually brought artillery!"

They are all people who are used to leading soldiers. You can basically tell the quality of an army at a glance.

Especially in a place like the south of the Yangtze River with crisscrossed water networks, it would be a disaster for the baggage team to drag a cannon weighing several thousand kilograms while marching.

Seeing the Tiger and Ben troops approaching slowly, all the officers' expressions became serious.

The people around were all shocked. In the military camp, orders are not given casually.

"Damn it, this kid doesn't have martial ethics!"

But soon, his eyes became firm again.

In addition, this time Lu Peiyi led the army to attack Yangzhou, focusing on speed. In addition, Lu Peiyi still looked down on Jia Yu from the bottom of his heart, so naturally he did not bring the heavy artillery.

"Here!"

Disobeying orders on the battlefield will result in beheading. The officer was so frightened that he bowed his head and said, "The general will not dare!"

As long as he can win the battle, even if he is asked to dance in front of the battle in women's clothing.

What Lu Peiyi didn't know was that while he was busy mobilizing his troops, a few hundred meters above his head, a drone was quietly suspended in mid-air, monitoring every move in the camp. See clearly...

Looking at the movements of the soldiers of the Jiangnan Camp on the screen, Jia Yu murmured: "This Yongyi Bo really has something, he even used his tactics to deceive."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the soldiers sent by Lu Peiyi came back in despair, and told Lu Peiyi dejectedly: "Master Qi, Uncle Dingyuan ordered someone to tell me to let you wash your neck and die!"

Just one sentence almost broke Lu Peiyi's defense on the spot. With a pale face, he remained stunned for a while before sneering: "Originally, I wanted to spare your life, but now it seems that I am too kind."

After that, he turned to the soldiers behind him and said: "Tell Dong Chuanzhu that in a quarter of an hour I will see his cavalry rushing towards Jia Yu's infantry square, otherwise I will not be blamed for being rude."

"Here!"

Dong Chuanzhu is the forward guerrilla in his hands. He controls a cavalry team of 3,000 people. He has always regarded him as the sharpest knife in his hand. Now is the time to use them. Lu Peiyi, who has been a soldier all his life, is naturally no stranger to firearms. In his understanding, the use of firearms is actually just that.

Not to mention the short range, loading is also extremely troublesome. There is often only one chance to fire on the battlefield.

Although Jia Yu relied on firearms to defeat the Mongolian Tatars, it had long been rumored, but when he heard the news, he scoffed.

He thought it was deliberately promoted by the imperial court in order to recover from previous failures, so when the generals below asked if they should also form a firearms force, he scolded him back unceremoniously.

Now, he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud when he saw that the Huben camp was all composed of fire gun soldiers.

He immediately made a judgment. As long as he could lure the musketeers holding muskets to shoot out the pre-loaded explosives, a hearty massacre would follow.

"Woooooooo..."

Facing the approach of the Huben army, the Jiangnan camp did not show any weakness. Groups of fully armed troops also left the camp and set up their positions.

In the middle is a central army composed of eight thousand spearmen and sword and shield soldiers, with one thousand cavalry on each side.

Just when the Chinese army had just stopped, three thousand cavalry suddenly rushed out from the camp gate.

On a battlefield filled with smoke and dust, three thousand fully armored cavalry galloped out of the camp entrance like a gust of wind.

The armors on the cavalry were shining with cold light, and their swords and guns were like a forest, which was spectacular and mighty.

Amidst the flying dust, the cavalrymen showed excited and ferocious expressions on their faces, and rushed towards the defense line where the musketeers' phalanx was located.

Just when they rushed more than 400 meters away from the phalanx, the artillery battalion where Huben Battalion was located began to roar.

With a deafening roar, dense iron beads sprayed out of the barrel like a torrential rain.

These thumb-sized iron beads roared towards the cavalry, tearing the air.

Dense iron beads poured down like a torrential rain, and the horses on the battlefield neighed and galloped amidst the smoke.

If the extraordinarily strong-looking war horses and the armored cavalry are unfortunately torn to pieces by steel balls, many of the fallen war horses and wounded men will scream miserably in a pool of blood even if they are lucky enough to survive.

Under the sun, countless iron beads penetrated the seemingly solid armor, shining with bloody light in the sun. Countless bodies were torn apart by the steel beads, causing wounds to spurt out blood rain.

The first volley from dozens of artillery pieces killed hundreds of cavalrymen who were rushing at the front.

Although the remaining cavalrymen felt chilled when they saw the tragic situation of their comrades in front, as the most elite assault force in Lu Peiyi's hands, their performance was still qualified.

They still endured the intense discomfort and charged forward with all their strength.

As the artillery battalion opened fire, the battlefield became chaotic. Although cavalrymen continued to be shot and fell, they still charged with all their might.

In the distance, Lu Peiyi was holding a telescope he had bought at a great expense. He looked at the cavalry below, although they suffered heavy losses, but they still rushed forward bravely. He was about to rush to the front of the artillery camp, and his face finally showed a trace of emotion. smile.

However, before he could laugh out loud, there was a burst of dense and crisp gunfire from the opposite side.

The dozens of cavalrymen who rushed at the front fell off their horses and fell to the ground as if they suddenly encountered an invisible rope.

Many cavalrymen suddenly had a hole the size of a little finger in their armor, and blood flowed out of the hole.

On the battlefield, the sounds of war horses neighing and wounded soldiers screaming occurred one after another. War horses kept screaming, and the injured cavalry fell to the ground like a heavy sack.

"First row retreats, second row steps forward...fire!"

"Fire!"

In the phalanx, the sentry in charge held up the command knife in his hand and issued orders in a hissing voice.

After all, on a battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, if your voice is not loud, the orders you give cannot reach everyone's ears.

Of course, in order to prevent this situation from happening, the army thoughtfully equipped each sentry officer and team officer with a sharp whistle.

But the situation on the battlefield is so chaotic, with gunfire, screams and whistles all around. It is very difficult to accurately convey orders with whistles. This is why most officers still prefer to convey orders with a loud voice. .

Three thousand cavalrymen rushed towards the artillery battalion of Huben Battalion and the three infantry phalanxes in the front like a ferocious giant wave.

From the perspective of Lu Peiyi from behind, these three infantry phalanxes and artillery battalions were already crumbling under the constant impact of the cavalry, as if they could be engulfed if only more force was exerted.

But until Lu Peiyi's eyes were sore, the three infantry squares were still standing there firmly.

On the other hand, the number of the three thousand cavalrymen who launched the charge was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the originally dense formation quickly became sparse.

Finally, two cavalrymen came back with Dong Youqi, who was covered in blood, and saw him kneeling down in front of Lu Peiyi with a pop, crying.

"Sir, please withdraw your troops. If we continue to fight like this, our Shenwei Battalion will be completely wiped out!"

The muscles on Lu Peiyi's face kept shaking, and expressions of unwillingness, horror, and even disbelief continued to appear on his face, and finally turned into a long sigh.

He waved his hand feebly, almost gritting his teeth and said: "Let them withdraw."

"Dangdangdangdang..."

With the sound of gold ringing from behind, the cavalrymen who were still charging with the last breath of energy were like deflated rubber balls. They hurriedly turned their horses and retreated towards the way they came.

When Dong Youyi, who was covered in blood, saw less than 300 cavalrymen gathered in front of him, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Lu Peiyi's heart was bleeding. These three thousand cavalrymen were a fist force that he had spent a lot of money and countless energy to build over the years. He didn't expect that they would be disabled in a battle today.

"Jia...yu..."

Looking at the three phalanxes and artillery battalion positions of the Huben Battalion still standing in front of him, Lu Peiyi almost chewed all the teeth in his mouth to pieces.

In this era when cavalry is king, the time, energy and money required to rebuild an elite cavalry team is simply unimaginable.

If we say that Lu Peiyi's goal before coming to Yangzhou was to defeat Huben Camp and steal the 56 million taels of silver.

So the most urgent thought in his heart now is to cut the bastard opposite him into pieces.

At this moment, his anger had made him lose his mind and he issued his second wrong order today.

"Here comes someone...invite my generals to attack with the whole army..."

"Woooooooo..."

Amidst the sound of horns all over the sky, 7,000 Chinese troops composed of spearmen and sword and shield soldiers pressed towards the main formation of Huben Camp...
