Win the Ding 1617

"Gu is Li Huabao! You call Li Er barbarian! Your fame and wealth are all on Gu! Anyone who has the courage to take it!"

In the open space between the business area and the Qing army's front, Li Huabao rode a white horse in a red robe, with a golden crown in his hair, and he rode the world.Dozens of riding guards followed closely behind him, holding his identification flag and military flag in their hands.The horse is an all-around steed, with bright hair, a tall body, and a bright bridle. Those metal ornaments also shine lovely in the setting sun, presumably they are all made of gold.People are strong and strong men. Although in the eyes of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, these people's riding skills are average, and they can at most complete basic actions such as controlling horses, steering, and avoiding obstacles on the battlefield. However, there is one advantage, that is, formation Guaranteed to be excellent!From just starting out, to running back and forth for several laps, the formation is still compact, not scattered or chaotic.On this point, even the Eight Banners Manchuria, who have always relied on horseback riding and archery to fight immediately, sighed.

Dozens of cavalry were on the battlefield scattered with corpses, broken vehicles, burning military flags, and scattered weapons, all pretending to hate.

More than a hundred steps beside him is the formation of the green flag soldiers of the Qing army.Tens of thousands of people stood here in unison.The crowd was commotioning one after another, but no one dared to step forward.

The soldiers and civilians defending the city in the business area were excited by Li Huabao's shouts.Someone shouted along with Li Huabao's rhythm. Gradually, the soldiers, civilians, officials, businessmen in the city shouted loudly, "Your fame and wealth are all here, and anyone who has the guts just come and get it!"

Dozens of gentry in the city who had never moved away could not help but twitch their beards and rejoice when they heard Li Huabao's shouts outside the city. They got the information they wanted from Li Huabao's presumptuous self-proclaim.Staying in the business district to advance and retreat with Li Huabao is a treasure, they bet right!From then on, he can claim the qualifications of "overcoming difficulties with the second son in the dangerous city of Shanghai".With this karma of gunfire and smoke, they can do many things. Through this, like the mother's body delivering nutrients to the fetus through the umbilical cord and promoting blood circulation, they can complete their mission to Li Huabao, the most important member of the Hongwu Army. The transformation of the future lord who may inherit the throne makes him meet the standards of a sage lord in their minds.

According to the patriarchal system and inheritance system, Li Huabao was the eldest son of Li Shouhan's main wife, Yan Meier.Although the ranking is second, but after all, he is the first son.And the eldest son Li Huayu had already died in battle, so Li Huabao was the veritable eldest son.Li Huabao is a well-deserved candidate no matter whether it is Lidi or Lichang.

What is lacking is military merit.

Therefore, these officials, gentry and merchants who stayed in the Shanghai business district and never escaped must work together to help Li Huabao defend the business district.Firstly, it was for his own wealth, and secondly, it was also to add a lot of color to Li Huabao's credit book in the Li family.They are all people who are familiar with history books, and they all know how much profit can be gained by supporting a king.Needless to say Lu Buwei who is far away, Yuan Taizu Temujin who is nearer, Banjuni Lake Sworn, whoever went through that difficult time with him, who is not the founding father of the Yuan Dynasty?Not to mention the heroes of Zhu's father and son.It was his Li family. Of all the families that followed Li Shouhan all the way from the Garrison Mansion, which one didn't become a rich man from a bumpkin in a remote place?They have all become figures who turn the clouds and rain up and stir up the situation.There are so many predecessors and role models, they can, why can't we? !

"The gunners are ready! When Li Er Manzi passes in front of us again, you will fire with a hundred guns!" Finally, someone in the Qing army couldn't hold back.Zhao Shouzhen, the commander-in-chief, called his own soldier leader and asked him to make arrangements.

Under the cover of the crowd and flags, the two hundred firecrackers under him hurriedly filled the firecrackers with explosives, waiting for Li Huabao to gallop past again.

"Go forward!"

"Fire!"

Seeing Li Huabao's acknowledgment flag approaching from far away, Zhao Shouzhen couldn't help laughing wildly. With a loud roar, he ordered his blunderbuss soldiers to come up from behind the queue and open fire on Li Huabao.

Suddenly, there were bursts of firecrackers in the Qing army.

The sudden shooting of the firecrackers startled both the Qing army and the Hongwu army.There was a commotion in the ranks of the Qing army. Some troops took a few steps forward, ready to attack, while others retreated back.

"Damn! Which bastard bastard gave the order to fire the gun?!" In the main formation of the Chinese army, General Le Ke Dehun was also taken aback.He didn't worry about anything else, he just worried that once Li Huabao was hit by the firecracker, how would he face the Hongwu army's crazy counterattack and revenge?

The defenders in the business area all fell down abruptly.The First Young Marshal Li Huayu fought with the Qing army and was shot to death. If the Second Young Marshal Li Huabao is also unlucky today, how should we explain to the Lord and the people of the world?

However, when the sound of the gunfire stopped, people were surprised to find that Li Huabao was unscathed.In order to announce to the people on both sides of the enemy and us, he snatched the military flag from the hand of the flag-bearer behind him, swung it from side to side in his hand, and shouted loudly.

"Second Young Commander-in-Chief is destined, and the gods will bless you!"

"The Hongwu army obeys the sky and responds to people, the gods bless you!"

"My lord, the blessings are equal to the heavens!"

The soldiers and civilians in the city, those with quick brains and quick reactions, immediately shouted new slogans loudly, which caused the soldiers and civilians in the city to cheer.For a time, the morale of the military and civilians in the business district reached an unprecedented height.

On the contrary, the morale of the Qing army was extremely low.Originally!When people beat us, there will always be someone who falls at the sound of the gunfire.But we gathered [-] firecrackers here, and none of the projectiles touched the lapel of Mr. Li's second son!

"Businessmen in the Southern Barbarians said that Li Shouhan was chosen by the Emperor of Heaven. Isn't that the Son of Heaven? His son is naturally also in the heavens and stars. How can this hurt him?" Gradually, some people in the Qing army began to whisper. .

In a great battle yesterday, the Qing army was defeated.Luck Dehun used the Eight Banners soldiers and horses to supervise the armies in Huaibei, and used the armies in Huaibei to accommodate the soldiers who surrendered in the south of Huainan.It was not easy to gather the defeated soldiers.Fortunately, Li Huabaozhi was defending the city and did not send out troops to pursue him. Otherwise, Le Ke Dehun would be ashamed.

As soon as he left the battle today, without saying a word, Luke Dehun first tied hundreds of officers of all ranks from various towns and battalions of the Green Banner Soldiers who had retreated yesterday to their horses, and ordered the cavalry to gallop on their horses. Bloody lumps of rotten flesh were left, and their screams and groans resounded in front of the entire Qing army formation.Let everyone hear the screams from high to low, gradually disappearing.

Afterwards, more than [-] deserters who were the first to retreat were pulled out. Each battalion and each town were divided into tens or hundreds of them. Walk back and forth in the middle so everyone can see.

"This is the fate of running away and shrinking back!"

On the one hand, there is the gold, silver, wealth and wealth that can be obtained by desperately moving forward, and on the other hand, the big knives and axes after escaping, screaming and moaning, and even family members being thrown into the military prostitute camp, the eyes of the green flag soldiers began to turn red.

"This king also fought against this group of Nanman in Liaodong! It was the famous Jingying model brigade in the former Ming army! It was also a soldier from the Nanman lineage! But, this king told you! This king defeated them !" Yue Le also galloped his horse in front of the army to speak out and cheer for the soldiers.

"The formation spread out! The more spread out the better! Nanban's artillery and firecrackers won't be able to hit you!"

"Rush forward wave by wave! The distance should not be too far! Don't give Nanban time to reload the gunpowder!"

"The sword and shield soldiers are in front, and the spearmen are behind! The sword and shield soldiers rushed into the trenches to fight hand-to-hand with the southern barbarians. This group of barbarians is clear to the king, with sharp firearms and fierce stabbing! However, they all rely on forming formations to fight! The trenches are narrow. , They can't form an formation! If you rush into the trench, you will touch the mountain of gold and silver in the business district!"

Yue Le kept shouting loudly, pouring out the experience of fighting with the Model Brigade and the Qing army's experience in defending Tashan, and told the officers of the Green Banner Soldiers.

Soon, an offensive wavy line appeared in front of the business area.

As for Yue Le himself, he was once again sent by Luc Dehun to the rear team to guard the battlefield.

On the way from the front to his own formation, Yue Le heard the shouts of killing from behind like a mountain roar and a tsunami.The sound of rumbling guns, the dense burst of firecrackers mixed with the explosion of grenades, the sound of cursing, the cheers of rushing into the trenches, and the impact of repeated fighting in the trenches.

"Huh! The general is too stingy! It is clearly our master's idea, but he asked the master to go back and drink the northwest wind! Bah!" Several coats complained angrily. The tactical action proposed by Yue Le opened up an extremely wide and sparse front, and rushed towards the business district, and made the artillery fire that the Hongwu Army was proud of instantly lose its effectiveness.Seeing that the Qing army has started hand-to-hand combat with the Hongwu army in the trenches, and it is hoped that they will drink a large bowl of wine, eat large pieces of meat, and divide gold and silver, but I have to accompany my master to the rear to hold the ground and take on the task of guarding the battlefield. It's full of complaints.

"If you want to be full of Hu Qin's words, be careful of my king's family law!" Although Yue Le was young, his family rules and military discipline were strict. Since he said this, everyone had no choice but to move forward resentfully.Never dare to advance the words just now.

However, his ears were pierced to listen to the faint movement on the battlefield coming from afar.

There were bursts of thunderous cheers, "The attack is in! The attack is in!"

"This must be the first trench taken down." People immediately thought to themselves.

"Take it down! Take it down!" There was another burst of shouts and clashes of knives and guns, followed by another burst of cheerful shouts.

"The business district is really extraordinary. After all, it was built by Mr. Li Guo." Returning to his flag formation, Yue Le carefully observed the progress on the distant battlefield with the help of binoculars.

After several trenches were successively conquered by the Qing soldiers who were good at fighting alone, taking advantage of the narrow terrain, the forwards had already rushed under the wall. Some people were waiting for the follow-up people to move the ladders, and some were hacking with knives and axes. Digging the wall, trying to cut a path to climb up.Some people also moved the wooden boards and deer villages in the trenches to one place, and threw straw bags on them, intending to use them to climb up the wall.

The perforations on the wall, the bunkers and trenches under the wall, spray projectiles outwards, and from time to time on the city wall, bombardiers throw grenades into crowded places, making the Qing soldiers who were still cheering and running instantly Turned into dead men and wounded soldiers crying with their wounds.

"Damn! This group of dogs! How crazy!" The officers and soldiers of the Hongwu Army hurriedly used blunderbuss and waist knives to fight against the Qing soldiers. From time to time, someone was stabbed by the Qing soldiers and fell from the wall with a scream. In a blink of an eye, it was surrounded and devoured by the Qing army that rushed up.

"What should we do! Should we go back and hold the barricades?! Rely on the fortifications in the city to deal with them?!"

"Back to the barricades, but these thieves have come in, and we will be in even more trouble!"

"Let's just grit our teeth and hold on! The Second Young Marshal didn't issue an order. If we withdraw without authorization, it will also be a crime of beheading!"

Facing the tide of Qing soldiers attacking wildly, several battalion officers and sentry officers were a little flustered, waving their waist knives in their hands, hacking and stabbing.

"Let's hold on first! No matter what, we have to wait until there is a letter from the eldest lady!"

According to the combat deployment, the business area must firmly attract the Qing army's land troops. It is necessary to wait until Li Huamei destroys the Qing army's navy and returns to the division before launching a counterattack.

"Fill it! Fill it in!" A few generals who were incorporated into the Ming army from poles and then transformed into the Qing army lost their temper. They commanded the flag in one hand and raised their knives in the other, leading a group of sturdy confidantes to fight towards the wall. They swooped in, and for a while, the defenders in the business district were overwhelmed, and crises were frequent.

"Little ones! Work harder! A lot of money, a beautiful girl is right in front of you! Kill!"

This ebbs and flows, the morale of the Hongwu army is exhausted here, but the strength of the Qing army is up there.Since the start of the war today, they have given full play to their advantages in terms of strength and quality of soldiers (good at fighting alone), and they have succeeded again and again. There is no place to bury the dead, and the huge contrast that hurts the family members stimulates the red-eyed Qing army to be more energetic.

"Master General! Master General! These southern barbarians are too fierce! No matter how we attack, the people on the wall will fall one row after another, and our brothers will not be able to attack!"

"Regimental Commander! These braided soldiers are all red-eyed mad dogs! No matter how we shoot and bayonet, we just attack hard and refuse to take a step back!"

The mid-level officers on both sides are complaining to their superiors, and the answer they get is often a slap or a kick, "Don't talk nonsense! Stop talking! Go up to me!"

Finally, the Qing army outside the wall couldn't hold back anymore.Under the dual pressure of huge wealth temptation and tragic casualties, some methods that were originally reluctant have to be taken out.

"Light the torch! Throw it in for me! Set it on fire!"

"Set fire! Burn! Burn these southern barbarians!"

Outside the outer wall were broken wooden planks, ladders, and various offensive equipment. The Qing soldiers greeted with swords and axes, and quickly turned these into piles of firewood. The broken military flag was stained with grease and wrapped on the firewood. , are ready-made torches.

"Pile the firewood in the corner for me! Set it on fire!"

The hill-like pile of firewood was carried back and forth by the Qing soldiers against the projectiles on the wall, and people were constantly hit by the flying projectiles and fell to the ground.Bundles and bundles of firewood were piled up in the corner, and torches were thrown on it one by one. Green smoke rose and flames burst into flames.Qing soldiers kept throwing firewood on the fire, and even those with long arms and strong arms threw torches over the wall.

"Burn! Burn it for me! Not only burn the wall, but also burn the house inside! Anyway, it's not my own now, so I don't feel bad if I burn it!"

This fire has different teachings: in an instant, crackling, flames flying, vigorous, bursts of sparks.But in the middle of the sky, fire crows were making noise, and fire horses were galloping all over the mountain.Shuangshuang red mouse, right and fire dragon.Shuangshuang red mice spit flames, thousands of miles are red; facing each other fire dragons spit thick smoke, thousands of squares are black.The train rolled out, and the fire gourds scattered.The fire flag shakes for a day, and the fire stick stirs the ground to burn.What do you say that Ning Qi whips the ox, the victory is as strong as Zhou Lang Chibi.

Not long after, several walls showed signs of collapse, and the Green Banner soldiers outside the walls were even more imposing. With one cry, there were several loud bangs, and they forcibly pushed down several sections of the wall, revealing a long A gap of tens of feet!

"kill!"

"Get in!" Thousands of Qing soldiers shouted in unison and rushed forward without waiting for the commander's order.

Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the Hongwu Army in the city retreated one after another.

For a time, the situation was in jeopardy!

"I'm Li Huabao! Follow me!"

On the streets of the city, someone shouted like a thunderstorm, while recognizing the flag, but Li Huabao's face was ashen, with a murderous look, holding a long knife in his hand, but it was a barbed iron steel knife made according to the style of the wild sword .

"Don't think that Li Huayu is the only one in my family, now Li Huabao is here!"

The hundreds of guards behind him are all orphans he took in from the Xidong tribe of Miao Yao when he was in Guangxi.What's more, most of these people have been taught a few martial arts by Taoist Liu Guidan.In terms of personal fighting skills in the entire Hongwu army system, Li Huabao's guard battalion should have the highest average level.

"Li Huabao is here! Follow me!"

These hundreds of guards roared in unison, and the momentum was even more breathtaking.

With the sword in his hand, Li Huabao chopped a fleeing Hongwu soldier into two pieces. "I didn't even run away. You run away!"

"Second brother went into battle himself!"

"Second brother went into battle himself!"

On the street, quite a few junior and mid-level officers cheered loudly, turned their heads and rushed towards the way they came.

"Damn! Second brother's life is much more valuable than ours. He goes to battle in person. We are afraid of a bird!"

These people are all orphans adopted by Yan Meier over the years. There are people from all ethnic groups and places. However, they all grew up under the care of Yan Meier, and they have no worries about food and clothing.Now he is serving as an officer in the Hongwu Army, settling down in various places in Nanzhong, marrying wives and having children.Although there are superiors and subordinates in the army according to military orders, they all call Li Huabao the second brother in private.Because, they are all Yanmeier's adopted sons.

"Damn it! If the second brother makes a mistake, let's not talk about the military law when we go back, we will be ashamed just for Aniang!"

"Yes! When the time comes, Ma'am, tell me, where's your second brother? Don't we have to piss and drown ourselves in embarrassment?!"

"Damn it! The damned bird is facing up, it will not die for thousands of years! Brothers, follow me!"

"Yes! Get this group of short-tailed dogs out for me!"

In an instant, the retreating crowd of the Hongwu army became the spearhead of the counterattack.

Behind the ranks of officers and soldiers, there are groups of young and strong men in messy uniforms, with all kinds of weapons in their hands, some with armor and some without armor.However, as a sign of identification between friend and foe, everyone wrote two big characters on yellow silk and cinnabar on their left arms, "Yiyong!"

This is a team composed of merchants who fled in the Shanghai business district, gentry who belonged to them, family servants, servants, and children of officials.

They knew very well that no matter if the Qing army came in or Li Huabao made any mistakes, they would not have a good life.

Shanghai business district, Li Huabao, there can be no mistakes, no problems!

Those who have the same desire from top to bottom, left and right, will win!

This is why Li Huabao's white horse and red robe lead dozens of horsemen to fight in the Qing army formation under the setting sun.

The barrage of firecrackers just now did not hurt him at all, and even boosted the morale of Hongwu's army.
