Win the Ding 1617

Amidst the sound of fierce drums, Cao Cao's confidant general Yang Chengzu's [-] soldiers and horses rushed forward with swords and guns.

Not far from their charging line, on a small hill beyond the reach of bows and arrows and firecrackers, the generals of Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo, and Wang Long reined in their horses to watch the battle.

The coaches of the two families came to the front to supervise the battle. Naturally, Cao Ying's soldiers did not dare to neglect, and desperately waved their knives and guns to fight with the white soldiers.

The spearmanship of the white-armed soldier was honed over the years of hunting on the battlefield and in the mountains. Although it was not like Qi's army's spearmanship, he could stab the opponent's eyes, throat, heart, waist, Only five holes are qualified, but dozens of Sangmen spear hedgehogs gathered in one place, stabbing back and forth, fighting in this narrow and steep mountain, really made Cao Ying's soldiers and horses suffer a bit.

The sharp Sangmen gun kept drinking the hot blood, throwing drops of blood in all directions.The horse guerrilla who was on the bank of the Qinhuai River that day had already been promoted to a general at this time, and the supervisor led the three or 4000 people to intercept Cao Ying's attack on the mountain road.

Cao Ying's two consecutive thousand-man charges since the morning ended with hundreds of dead bodies and more than a hundred people hanging down, but it invisibly boosted the morale of the white soldiers.

Those white-armed soldiers who beheaded the soldiers of the peasant army shared the property, clothes, armor and weapons of the soldiers of the peasant army who died in front of them equally, and divided the rewards for killing the thieves.All of them held the white wax pole spears in their hands and grinned.

"Turtle sons! Are you happy? It's good to fight! Another day of hard work, the governor said, and our allies will arrive. By that time, I'm afraid your pockets won't be big enough to hold so much money!"

"Sir General! We don't plan to ask for money, okay? We heard that there are many good things in the thief camp, can we just want those good things?"

"I am an ancestor! You have silver, why can't you get it? Tian Laosi! Didn't you always want to add a set of iron plowshares to your family? After this battle, my surname Ma will find it for you. Shopkeeper He Da, no matter what, I will get you a set!"

Among the scolding voices full of eastern Sichuan accents.Yang Chengzu was defeated in disgrace, his arm was picked off by the head of the Sangmen gun, and a wound with deep bone was bleeding continuously.

On the mountain road, more than a thousand Cao Ying soldiers were attacked by two groups of white soldiers rushing down from the hillside and three groups of white soldiers on the front mountain road.Once again, more than a hundred corpses were left behind. Dozens of wounded and a lot of weapons and equipment fled back in embarrassment.

"The last general is incompetent! Please punish him!"

Yang Chengzu knelt down in front of Cao Cao's horse and pleaded guilty in a low voice.

"We've all seen it. It's not your fault! Go down and bind the wound! Eat something."

Cao Cao, on the other hand, comforted Yang Chengzu a few words in a pleasant manner, and ordered his own soldiers to take Yang Chengzu down to see the wound, and did not mention the bandage and medicine.

"Old Cao, Qin Liangyu, this old lady, although this trick is good, but from my old Zhang's point of view, it is also very simple." Through the brass monocular telescope in his hand, Zhang Xianzhong changed the garrison of the white-armed soldiers on the top of the mountain and on the mountain road. The situation of the troops can be clearly seen.He was very keen to discover a weakness in the white soldier.

"Jingxuan, you can't be joking now. The two thieves Zuo Liangyu and Meng Ruhu are rushing towards us as if they were crazy after taking aphrodisiacs. The brothers at the back sentinels said they are less than two miles away from us. It's a day's journey away. If we can't get rid of these white soldiers blocking the way, then we Xiying and Caoying will have a better life!"

Cao Cao blinked his small eyes anxiously, but he also knew that if he didn't make such a gesture.I'm afraid that the Eight Great Kings will not come up with their ideas so easily.

"Old Cao, if we, Zhang, bet with you, I can break through the barrier of white soldiers in one battle. What do you lose to me?"

"Jingxuan, have you been confused by Luzhou Daqu in Zhang Ling's old man's camp? We have been fighting here for two days. Now you say that you can defeat the enemy in one battle? That's it! After breaking through this barrier, I, Lao Cao, will give you the six newly acquired Sichuan girls in my tent! Knowing that several beautiful wives of your Eight Great Kings are in the Xiangyang class, you have nowhere to dissipate your anger!"

"The woman is better for you, Lao Cao, to keep for yourself! You defeated Qin Liangyu. Let's rush to Chongqing Mansion, what kind of woman do you have? In this way, how about you lose me [-] silver and add fifty good horses?!"

"Fuck you! Why don't you go grab it?"

"Hey! We are all thieves in the eyes of the officers and soldiers and the big gentry, and we were meant to be robbed!"

The two coaches were joking with each other, which relieved everyone's mood a lot.

"Wenxiu, Nengqi. The two of you each organize your troops and prepare to take over from Cao Shuai's subordinates to attack the camp of white soldiers!"

"Follow the orders of the commander-in-chief!"

Under Zhang Xianzhong's deployment, the Xiying soldiers and horses began to take over Cao Ying's soldiers and horses and entered the attacking position.Zhang Nengqi and Zhang Wenxiu each led hundreds of people to line up in front of the formation, fastened their armor, needless to say to rectify their weapons.

before their queue.There were even several layers of archers lined up. More than a thousand Zhang Qiang bows were drawn by the archers, and the arrow that shot Zhang Ling was pulled out from the quiver and placed on the bowstring made of raw cowhide.Behind the archers, there are dense melee fighters holding shields and broadswords.

With the sound of a letter cannon and the beating of war drums, Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, Zhang Nengqi, one of the four generals of the Western Camp, stepped forward to lead the battle with a knife in one hand and a flag in the other, leading some old soldiers and horses of the Western Camp to charge forward.

"The two sons of the thief have been dispatched! It seems that the thief is a little anxious to jump the wall!"

Qin Liangyu, who was also watching from behind his own line, looked at the roaring soldiers and horses of the Western Battalion. Dozens of banners waving non-stop among the crowd marked the names of the generals who led the charge.The flag was constantly waving in the hands of the flag bearers, and the momentum was truly astonishing.

Thousands of bowstrings made bang bang sounds almost at the same time, and the dense rain of arrows made one feel that the sky became darker in an instant.

"Avoid the arrow!"

This round of arrow rain caused more than a hundred white soldiers lined up on the front mountain road to be pierced by sharp arrows immediately, nailing their bodies to the red soil.

"Take away the dead and injured brothers! Line up! Anyone who dares to scurry, behead!"

"Archers, step forward! Shoot against the bandits!"

The white-armed soldiers also quickly adjusted their tactics, ordering their own archers to step forward and shoot at the archers of the West Camp.

After several rounds of bow and arrow shooting.Hundreds of people fell on both sides.

Seeing cavalry galloping constantly in Zhang Xianzhong's formation, Qin Liangyu knew that the attack on Xiying was about to start. "Send the order, and the people on the hills on both sides will press down immediately after seeing the bandit's move! The follow-up people will climb the mountain immediately!"

In the west camp.Zhang Nengqi and Zhang Wenxiu waved their battle flags and long knives, and shouted to urge their subordinates to step forward. Seeing the soldiers from the Western Battalion approaching step by step, the white soldiers who were facing the enemy were not to be outdone, and gave an order, Thousands of spears were immediately gripped by callused hands, and people were ready to use the heads and blood of these thieves in Xiying to win their own good days.

Seeing that they were about to rush forward, Zhang Nengqi and Zhang Wenxiu suddenly waved the military flags in their hands to the left and right, "Brothers, get out of the way!"

The charging soldiers and horses of the West Camp immediately retreated to the left and right, exposing the dozens of waving battle flags behind them in front of the formation of white soldiers.

"Just right! Let's kill the generals and capture the flag!..." General Ma Shen had this thought flashing through his mind. Unexpectedly, those flags that had always been dazzling flashed away, revealing what was hidden behind the flags!

That was ten six-pounders.Eight large French machine!

"Come back quickly..." Qin Liangyu and the officers and generals of the white soldiers on the hillside in the distance all shouted in unison, planning to rush down the hillside and prepare to use the tactics of attacking from three sides to gain military merit again. Thousands of white soldiers called back to their positions.

However, it's too late.

Eighteen shells made more than ten flesh and blood alleys among the white soldiers rushing from three sides.

Being caught off guard by the sudden artillery fire, the white soldiers were on the verge of being defeated immediately!

On one side is the mountain road facing the enemy head-on.The narrow terrain made it impossible to deploy troops, so we could only increase the depth and equipment, but in this way, the shells were given a stage to display them. Under the vertical and horizontal bounces, a single shell made more than a hundred people lose their combat effectiveness.What's even more terrible is that the soldiers on the mountain road no longer had the will to fight, they dropped the spears in their hands, turned around and fled!

The two groups of people on the hillside were even more embarrassed.

Originally, using the kinetic energy of the condescending impact could increase the lethality to the highest level, but.Facing the cannon muzzle pointing obliquely at the hillside, this kind of impact is tantamount to sending flesh and blood to the cannonball.Seeing that dozens of soldiers rushing forward were beaten to pieces and their limbs were splashed, the white soldiers rushing down from the mountainside stopped immediately, but the team rushing down from the top of the mountain couldn't stop.For a while, the soldiers at the foot of the mountain fled to the mountainside, the soldiers on the mountainside were pushed down by the soldiers at the top of the mountain, and a large group of people rushed up behind the mountain to take over the defense.

"Aim at the place with the most people on the mountain, and give me a blast!"

The ten cannons fired another round of shells at the place where the crowd was densest and the order was the most chaotic on the hillside.

The white soldiers on the hillside immediately collapsed, trampled on each other, turned around and fled to the back of the mountain, knocking down the mountain head-on with the comrades who were struggling to climb the mountain.

"kill!"

Under the intensive care of two six-pound guns and six Dafo Langji, the formation of white soldiers on the mountain road has collapsed.Zhang Nengqi and Zhang Wenxiu immediately jumped on the horses, and the command post launched a cover-up.

"How about it, Lao Cao, what I said is right! Xiao Wang, I will go to your Uncle Luo's camp to choose fifty good horses! Plus ten thousand silver!" Zhang Xianzhong winked mischievously at Luo Rucai, teasing his old partner .

"It's okay! I'm willing to admit defeat! Nephew Maotang, go back to Uncle's camp, you can choose a good horse!"

While speaking, the generals of Xiying and Caoying had already slashed and killed behind the defeated white soldiers, which intensified their defeat.

The rout soldiers rushed across the mountain road, smashing Qin Liangyu's supervisors who were supervising and commanding the battle behind the battle formation.

"Auntie! Auntie, please get on the horse first! Let's go back to the big camp and stick to it!"

Several generals didn't care about Qin Liangyu waving the sword in their hands to supervise the battle, they quickly mounted her and Ma Fengyi on the horses, and retreated to the camp amidst the retreating crowd. In a hurry, Qin Liangyu's handsome flag and flag guard of honor were lost on the battlefield superior.

This can't be blamed on her. Zhang Xianzhong's cannon had a huge impact on the white soldiers. It not only defeated the white soldiers physically, but also lured and exploded a huge psychological shadow hidden in their hearts. out.

This shadow is that the predecessors of the white-armed soldiers were wiped out with cannons by the Jiannu Eight Banners in the Battle of Hunhe.

"Old Cao, look, this is the imperial poem that Chongzhen bestowed on Mrs. Qin?"

In Qin Liangyu's camp, Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao, who had just kicked the camp, watched with great interest what the soldiers had captured.Qin Liangyu's big seal, token, command arrow, and the banner with the four poems bestowed on Qin Liangyu by Emperor Chongzhen.

The defeat of the white soldiers brought huge gains to Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai.There were as many as three or four thousand ash guns captured alone, and there were more than 2000 prisoners. Two complete camps were breached.More importantly.The road to Chongqing was opened.

In this battle, the contribution of the Xiying artillery team is undoubtedly huge.The eighteen six-pound guns and the Dafo Lang machine were carried by the soldiers and kept moving forward, constantly maintaining artillery pressure on the defeated white soldiers.

"Jingxuan! With ten thousand silver and fifty good horses, I am convinced to lose! However, you have to explain to Lao Cao, where did your artillery come from! The cannons of officers and soldiers are definitely not like this! Alright! Don't fool our old Cao by saying that you made it yourself, your subordinates don't have this skill!"

The soldiers of Cao Ying took out a box of silver dollars, and the silver dollars wrapped in mulberry paper accidentally tore the package, and fell into the box with clangs, and the crisp sound of the silver dollars hitting was really pleasant.Zhang Kewang on the side led his own soldiers and led fifty fat and strong war horses.Showing off his might, he galloped back and forth in this big camp that belonged to white soldiers not long ago.

"Old Cao, are you planning to get a few cannons for fun? This time, you know why we entered Sichuan this time, and our old Zhang is in front of us. It is so easy to attack the city and the village? No matter how strong the army is, If you see a cannon shell, you have to run away!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Where did you get it?"

"It's the same as those Nanban swords and armor. They were sold to us by Nanban merchants."

"Hiss!" As if having a toothache, Cao Cao gasped. Not only did he not have all the swords, guns and armor produced by Nanzhong in his camp, there were even dozens of firecrackers given to him by Zhang Xianzhong to equip his soldiers.But Nanban merchants dare to sell such sharp weapons as artillery! ?

"Don't you think how noble these businessmen are! Do you think that they sold us swords, guns, armor and cannons, but not to the officers and soldiers? A joke! Even the dogs of the officers and soldiers still sell military food and weapons to Da Da Son?!" Zhang Xianzhong curled his lips, expressing contempt for Luo Rucai's purity and kindness.

"Do you know why my father keeps going to Chongqing?"

Zhang Xianzhong asked himself and answered: "The businessman who has contacts with our old Zhang brought a large amount of food, grass, armor, knives and guns, and they were piled up on the wharf of Chongqing Mansion! With these weapons and armor, our old Zhang can Send Yang Sichang, Shao Jiechun, and that old scumbag Wencan who beat our old Zhang as a money-scattering boy to see Zhu Yuanzhang one by one!"

Satisfied, he finished his thoughts with his partner, Zhang Xianzhong called the old camp secretary, and ordered him to put the ten thousand silver sent by Luo Rucai under the joint account of Cao Ying and Xiying. "There are also military salaries and rations for the captured white soldiers. Those weapons are also half of our two families. Lao Cao, you prepare the silver and take down the Chongqing Mansion. I will recommend it for you. Cao Ying can also use the silver to buy cannons." , those merchants will help you train gunners."

The news of the defeat of the white-armed soldiers immediately spread around at an explosive speed.

Under the order of Governor Shao Jiechun, Lu Xunzhi, the former magistrate of Mianzhou (now Mianyang) who had just resigned from the prefecture of Mianzhou (now Mianyang), escorted [-] white soldiers to the front line to escort [-] white soldiers. With the news of the defeat here, the general's salary and rations were quietly transported home.

"What, what should I do about this?" Shao Jiechun, who had already ordered his staff to prepare a manuscript for the capital and the supervisor Yang Sichang, was at a loss when he received the unfortunate news, his gums were red and swollen, and his throat was swollen and sore.

"Master Futai, Qin Dudu said that he would send all the soldiers of Shizhuxidong to the front line to defend against the enemy, but he only asked Lord Futai to give her [-] people's food and a staff..."

"No! No! Where can I go to find so much money, food and weapons for her? The 3 people's food and wages have been lost in a blink of an eye! She still has the face to ask me for food and wages?!"

After calming down the situation a bit, Shao Jiechun turned around in the courtyard of the governor's office like a drowning man eager to grab a life-saving straw.

"Where is Zuo Liangyu's army? Where is the army that is as fierce as a tiger? Didn't they give me a document saying that they are rushing to the front line day and night, and they will join forces with Qin Liangyu in a few days to wipe out the bandits?" , Cao thief? Where are they now?"

A screen friend hesitantly found two official documents, but they were sent by Zuo Liangyu and Meng Ruhu just now.

In the official document, the words are either sincere or arrogant, but the general meaning is that the soldiers were exhausted after a long march for several days, and the army lacked food and grass.As a last resort, I have to take a break and rectify my troops before going into battle.

In the same way, Yang Sichang sent a message to Shao Jiechun on the grounds that the supervision army Wanji’s unit in Sichuan and the Huguang deputy Zhang Yingyuan’s unit had been raining for days, the roads were muddy and slippery, and the transportation of grain, grass and luggage was difficult. Our troops can't move forward, we have to rest in place for a few days, and wait for the weather to clear up before leaving!

Looking at the big sun outside, Shao Jiechun couldn't help yelling, "A group of silverfish!" When you make up nonsense, when you make up a fig leaf for fearing the enemy and fighting, please use your brains a little bit, and make the nonsense as deceptive as possible!

"My lord! It's not good, my lord!" Fubiao Zhongjun staggered from the gate directly into the small courtyard where Shao Jiechun's signing room was located.

"Asshole, what's wrong, my lord!"

The evil fire in Shao Jiechun's forehead was immediately directed at the Chinese soldier, and he wanted to slap him with a slap.

"My lord! It's not good, model brigade, model brigade!"

But Wu Biao's model brigade of more than [-] people did not receive the military order, and still went upstream against the direction in which the white soldiers retreated.

"Quick! Go and chase them back!" Shao Jiechun was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat immediately, and used Wu Biao's model brigade, but seeing that the white soldiers were fighting smoothly in front, he made the decision privately and forced Yang Sichang to agree to three months. The army that was not dispatched was dispatched.Once these 6000 people make a mistake, I'm afraid that not only Master Yang will turn his back on him, but even the father-in-law of the Rites Supervisor will send someone to arrest him and bring him to Beijing for interrogation.

"Quick! Send someone on a flying horse to inform General Wu! Order him to be on the spot, no, hurry back to Chongqing and set up defenses to prevent Xian and Cao from attacking the city!"

With the fall of Qin Liangyu, the last sea-fixing needle on the Sichuan battlefield, the whole Sichuan became chaotic. Not only the hungry people and poles from all walks of life in eastern Sichuan defected to Zhang Xianzhong and Cao Cao, but also Huanglong and Cao Cao in the northern Sichuan area. The so-called "Thirteen Shakers" such as Yao Tiandong, the local bandits called "earth thugs" in Sichuan, also began to plunder prefectures and counties wantonly.

The situation in Sichuan suddenly became out of hand.
