golden scales

"Luo Yukun really suffered a big loss!" Liu Fangliang excitedly paced back and forth in the Chinese military tent. .He got the news that Luo Yukun hit the nail plate at the junction of Qing and Lai, and suffered heavy losses. The camp of tens of thousands of people was smashed to pieces in an instant, and only more than [-] people fled to Yanzhou in the south.

"I said a long time ago that Prince Zhu's team is not waiting for nothing. Two or three hundred people dare to rush into the enemy's formation and cut a big banner. Do you think that they can hit it casually?" Liu Fangliang laughed and said: "Zhang Hong, get ready immediately, if he can’t fight, let’s fight! Just go the way he went!”

"There were a lot of people when he passed by. I'm afraid it's not easy to collect food along the way?" Zhang Hong was a key general under Liu Fangliang's command, and he was in charge of Liu Fangliang after he left Baoding.This time when Li Zicheng conscripted troops to march eastward, Zhang Hong left only his personal guards, and sent the rest of the troops to Beijing. As a result, Liu Fangliang recalled him to Qingzhou because he wanted to pick up the leftovers.

Although Zhang Hong felt that Baoding's emptiness was a little inappropriate, he also wanted to have Ren Jirong in the south of Baoding guarding Zhending, and the capital in the north as a barrier, so that it would not be stolen by others, so he organized his troops and went south to join forces with Liu Fangliang in Qingzhou.

"I've collected food and grass, so I don't need to collect food along the way. As long as we take down Laizhou, we won't be afraid of running out of food." Liu Fangliang laughed again: "There is a saying that kills one thousand enemies and damages oneself by eight hundred. With Luo Yukun as our pawn, we just go to collect them." This cheap prince."

Zhang Hong knew that Prince Zhu's soldiers were insufficient, otherwise he would not have to retreat all the way from Ruyang to Shandong.Seeing that the overall situation of the world has been determined, the titles are also roughly determined.In the future, if you want to make meritorious service and become a marquis, you may have to go to the border of Liaodong to fight against the eastern captives of Manchuria.It's better to follow Cihou to defeat Shandong first.It is also good to find a place for children and grandchildren.

It is no secret that Laizhou has gold mines.

Although the two have their own plans: one cares about immortality, and the other cares about the family's well-being, but it has become a consensus to take down Laizhou. .Now that the military strategy has reached an agreement, we just wait for the food to arrive later.The army marched from Qingzhou to Laizhou in a mighty way, taking the old road that Luo Yukun used to send people and gifts.

……

On the eighth day of May in the 17th year of Chongzhen, the Dashun army stepped on the dry ground, and the dust rose a full three feet high.The lookouts densely covered in the mountains and forests, armed with binoculars, immediately spotted the signs of the army's attack.

Before that, because of the information provided by Xu Dun, Xiao Mo's No. [-] Guards Battalion was ready for the battle, and even Xiao Donglou sent an artillery bureau to take this opportunity to train troops.

soon.Puffs of black smoke billowed from the trees in the mountains.Immediately afterwards, the tinkling bells rang in the nearby villages.Farmers working in the fields heard the bells ringing.Immediately dropped the work in hand, holding the farm tools and driving the cattle, ran to the village.

The militiamen and defenders in the village rushed to the first line of defense pushing the "wall cart" equipped with wheels, and skillfully rolled the wheels into the earth pit dug long ago.The bricks are buried with soil and rocks, and in a blink of an eye it is a solid parapet.

Such a hundred parapets were joined together, and the middle was left blank. In just a moment, the first line of defense was erected in front of the village.

Liu Fangliang was very puzzled. He didn't see any traces of the army fighting along the way, not even a single scattered corpse.When Tan Ma came to report that there was a village blocking the road ahead, Cihou was even more surprised that there are really praying mantises who dare to block cars in this world.

"Have you passed the call card?" Liu Fangliang asked the Tanma.

"Back to Lord Hou, before my troops approached, those rioters fired their guns and arrows, obviously wanting to fight to the end." Tan Ma replied.

Liu Fangliang was puzzled.General Zhang Hong stepped forward and said: "Master Hou, in the end, go and level this village!"

Liu Fangliang nodded slightly: "Alright, bring more troops, don't be careless!"

Zhang Hong came out with his armor up, gathered his own soldiers and horses, about a thousand of them, raised their whips and fired cannons, and went to kill the small village that didn't even have a name. .

……

Zhu Cihong simply drew a line on the sand table, but the staff of each department had to ride horses and lead the local guides for several days to inspect all the intersections and key passes on the spot. military fort.Considering that the main threat today is from the north, building materials and labor are also more inclined to Xiao Mo's jurisdiction.Luo Yukun was asked to take this route before, and to make friends in front of this village called "Fengjia Village", also had the intention of giving Liu Fangliang psychological hints.

Luo Yukun later withdrew to Yanzhou to the south, not only to complete the tasks assigned by the East Palace, but also to prevent Liu Fangliang from playing cards according to common sense and attacking the southern section of Lexia's defense line.

On this battlefield designed by Donggong, the guest army will never take advantage of it.

Zhang Hong's men quickly rushed to the breast wall defense line.The infantry set up the ladders and began to charge the wall.

There was a loud bang in the village.

The Fran machine gun spat out solid iron bullets, flew over the parapet, and smashed into the crowd.

This wall not only restrained the charge of the cavalry, but also marked the range of the artillery.The gunner only needs to aim in the direction, choose a good angle according to the scale on the partition, and fill in a certain amount of gunpowder, and the shell can be hit to the predetermined landing point.As live ammunition training that is carried out every day, the gunners are very skilled.

boom!

The second cannon fired shells after a short gap, and other book friends are watching:.

The solid bullet landed on the dry and hard ground, bounced high, and tore the Shun army beside him into pieces with a roar.

It was the first time Zhang Hong encountered a village equipped with artillery, and his heart was already half chilled.He probably knew why Luo Yukun suffered a "heavy loss".

"Rush over!" Zhang Hong drew out his knife and urged loudly, "The first person who breaks through the door will be rewarded with 50 taels!"

The gunfire sounded again, swallowing Zhang Hong's voice.

The dark iron bullet came through the air, directly smashing the head of a Shunjun to pieces.The shells fell heavily on the ground, and immediately bounced off, tearing apart four or five people around them one after another. For a moment, there was blood raining all over the sky, and the sound of screams.

The parapet is only one foot wide, and no one can stand on it.While Shun Jun charged up the parapet, he had to jump down from the six-foot-high wall.Although it is not high, there are dense bamboo spears and wooden thorns under the wall, which is definitely not good.The people in front couldn't stand on it, and they couldn't turn around and escape back. Being pushed by the people behind, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump down.

These bamboo spears and wood thorns are also called "tiger fall", unless they are unlucky enough to be stabbed in the vitals, they will not die easily, but will only be disabled.On the battlefield, there are passionate people who are not afraid of death everywhere, but they have a deeper fear of physical disabilities, and life is simply worse than death.The people behind didn't know what was on the other side of the wall, they only heard screams, the morale of the army was naturally turbulent, they couldn't hesitate, they just dealt with the supervising team.

Zhang Hong personally rushed forward, hacked to death two soldiers who were trying to escape, and ordered his men to spread out the battle line and charge from the gap left in the parapet.

The gaps in the parapet also resist horses and tigers, which can defend against cavalry but not infantry.After paying a small amount of sacrifices, the Dashun Army successfully crossed the parapet, and also saw the tragic experience of their comrades behind the wall.Before they could feel pity in their hearts, the sound of arrows piercing through the air sounded, and they fell on their heads.

In the face of such a rain of arrows, there is only a top shield impact, entering the projectile blind spot.

"Thirty steps! Lift~!"

"Twenty steps! Let it go!"

The firecracker spit out the gun flame neatly, sending out a flurry of projectiles, forming a dense impact surface.

The soldiers of the Dashun Army rushing to the front were instantly smashed into sieves, and fell to the ground screaming.The soldiers behind stepped on the fallen corpses of their comrades, shouting meaningless phonemes to strengthen themselves, and continued to rush towards the firecrackers with their weapons straightened.

"put!"

The filled gunners in the second row pulled the triggers in unison and fired bullets.

Another row of soldiers in blue arrow jackets fell to the ground, twitching and howling in the blood.

"Kill!"

The bloody smell stimulated the soldiers behind, and they burst out at a faster speed, rushing towards the front of the Ming army.They seemed to remember that they had fought such a tough battle before, but the price of awakening this memory was too high.

In order to ensure the maximum density of shooting, the fire gun team of the Guards Battalion did not use three-stage shooting, but two-stage shooting.After shooting, the firecrackers retreated and changed formation according to the previously drilled route, allowing the mandarin duck formation behind to step forward.

Wearing triple armor and holding a rattan card, Liu Si finally stood in front of the enemy again.This time, his injuries have basically healed.During the recuperation period, he gained a few kilograms, which made his armor more and more full.

With a rattan card in one hand and a wrought iron club in one hand, Liu Si stood majestically at the front of the line, bowed his body slightly, kicked his hind legs, and the whole person shot out, shouting loudly: "Kill!"

In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky, the earth trembled, and the red torrent rolled towards the courageous enemy soldiers unstoppably.
