Chapter 357: Someone Sneaks Attack Behind the Back

Rumble...... A cannonball fell, and in the dust and smoke, Zeng Qian roared frantically, as if he had long forgotten what kind of environment he was in. Xu Beichuan's eyes widened, and he wanted to shout something, but before he could open his mouth, after a bang, there was no figure of Zeng Qian in front of him. He searched hard, and finally found Zeng Qian under the battlement, but at this time Zeng Qian was twitching, one hand did not know where to fall, the corners of his mouth were full of blood, and he was obviously hopeless.

Xu Beichuan was about to break his liver and gall, at this time, he was so helpless and so afraid. He had forgotten all his previous ambitions, the idea of wanting a decisive battle, how ridiculous it was. Zeng Qian was killed in this way, and he didn't even leave a word. I knew that the new artillery was terrifying, but I still underestimated the power of the artillery, this kind of artillery fire, which can be called a divine thunder, has long been beyond the power of man. Xu Beichuan, whose confidence was almost crushed, curled up behind the battlements, and his whole person trembled violently. The mind was full of Zeng Qian's tragic situation, and the mouth full of blood was like a butcher's knife tearing open a new house.

On the other side of the city wall of Tongling City, a poor peasant soldier lay behind the city wall. It used to be a place for everyone to understand, but now it has become a place of life. Just now, the head of his team was blown up by a cannonball, flew down from the city, fell to the ground, and died with a whimper. On the city walls, already crazy, this endless bombardment, it's terrible. The shells of the officers and soldiers are like they don't want money, are they going to blow up Tongling City?

Outside Tongling City, looking at the overwhelming artillery fire, Xu Zhixin was deeply shocked. At this time, the sturdy Tongling City, like a fragile chick, hissed in pain in the thick smoke. One shell after another fell, spreading, and black clouds rose one after another, connecting into one piece, enveloping the entire Tongling City. There was a thick fog there, a black and red mist that carried death and wailing. The earth trembled, and the heart crumbled. Everything in front of her has exceeded Xu Zhixin's understanding of war, she never thought that the war could be fought like this, and before that, no one had ever told her that firearms could dominate the entire battlefield.

For some reason, she felt that the pattern of war had begun to change at this moment. And what tactics are effective under such artillery fire? In front of the steel furnace, all the bravery becomes insignificant, and no matter how powerful the body is, it will disappear under the fire of artillery.

The new artillery is terrible, but what is really terrible is the iron ink next to it. This man opened up a new mode of warfare, he used artillery to the extreme. However, this kind of artillery covering style of play seems to be very luxurious, at least, at present, only Tiemo in the Ming Dynasty can play like this. In other words, if you bombard half a cup of tea like this, it is estimated that those artillery pieces will be dumbed because there are no shells.

Similarly, this man is bold enough and ruthless enough. You must know that at this time, there are not only liukou in Tongling City, but there are also tens of thousands of Tongling people. Since the capture of Tongling City, the thieves have gathered the nearby people in the city, the purpose is to let the imperial court soldiers and horses attack Tongling City, and throw rats. However, in Tie Mo's eyes, these seem to be non-existent.

Under this artillery fire, the rogue will naturally be blown up to cry and cry for his mother, but most of the people in the city will also suffer.

Xu Zhixin thought about her thoughts, and her hands clenched unconsciously, "Iron Inspector, you ignored the people in the city and bombarded Tongling. Have you ever thought that you will be impeached by many people in the future, and even the people of the world will regard you as an outlier! ”

Tiemo was observing intently, listening to Xu Zhixin's question, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled a little contemptuously: "Miss Xu, if you had experienced those cruel wars, you wouldn't have asked such a thing." This is a war, and Tie is thinking about how to make his brothers suffer fewer casualties, rather than kill fewer people. This is the battlefield, and everyone who swept in couldn't escape. Innocent? Who here isn't innocent? ”

Gradually, Tiemo's voice became a little heavy, "Impeachment? I've never been afraid of their impeachment, and as for the world's long mouths, I can't care about it, what do others say, can I manage it? As long as the tens of thousands of soldiers under Tie Mou do not abandon him, Tie Mou will have nothing to fear. ”

Xu Zhixin looked at Tiemo's back in a daze, and at this moment, she seemed to have re-acquainted herself with the man in front of her. No wonder the rogues call him the Living Hades, this person acts completely different from ordinary people, he doesn't care about those rules and regulations at all, let alone the eyes of others.

In him, there is a strong killing atmosphere, and that bravery and bloodthirstiness can only be possessed by generals who have been in the border of the North all year round. There are some words that Xu Zhixin can't understand. Perhaps, it is really because I have not experienced a real war. has always lived in the rich Nanzhili, the war is really far away, and the so-called leading soldiers is just participating in some Beijing camp training.

The bombardment continued, and in the smoke of gunfire, only the screams of pain could be heard far, far away. But anyone who understands knows in their hearts that it is only a matter of time before Tongling City is breached, and the difference is how many Liukou can survive.

Tongling City was tormented by artillery fire, and in the northwest, Zheng Guosong, who originally wanted to return to Tongling City, was also caught in a bitter battle. The artillery fire of Tongling City is too terrifying, Tanma has long known the situation of Tongling City, how important Tongling City is, needless to say, Zheng Guosong was anxious, and ordered his soldiers and horses to speed up their pace, almost rushing back to Tongling, but unfortunately, when approaching Baping Town, he encountered a roadblock.

A cavalry struck out from the south of Baping Town, and in an instant, the whole team was cut in half. Due to the rush to return to Tongling, the speed was fast, and the formation was inevitably stretched, and now when the cavalry raided, he could only watch the entire team be cut off by the waist and be divided into two groups. Zheng Guosong can be regarded as having been on the battlefield for a long time, and when he saw these cavalry outfits, he knew that he had encountered the most difficult Yunfu iron cavalry.

"Don't mess around, shieldman..... Come to the front, everyone should not run around, gather in a group....... "Zheng Guosong knows very well, you must not mess up, let alone escape. As long as you escape and lose the protection of the formation, you can only become a revenant under the cavalry knife. The terrifying thing about the Yunfu Iron Cavalry is not that it is a frontal charge, but that it is a ruthless pursuit. In the battlefield of northern Shaanxi that year, how many brothers were killed by this cavalry and almost all of them were wiped out.

Zheng Guosong was in danger, urging his soldiers to form a compact phalanx. In the past two years, he has fought a lot with the soldiers and horses of Yunfu, and Li Zicheng has not grown at all. At least, in order to deal with the cavalry, Li Zicheng's command figured out a set of hook and sickle spears and a shield formation. This set of playing methods was copied from Yunfu, copied and copied, but it really worked.

After getting through the initial panic, relying on this turtle faction style of play, Zheng Guosong slowly stabilized his position. The cavalry rushed several times, but failed to break through Zheng Guosong's turtle formation, but instead lost some men and horses.

Seeing this situation, Liu Guoneng frowned and ordered to the deputy general Jin Chenwu: "Tell all teams to kill those thieves outside, and don't rush into battle." In addition, some people were assigned to exchange muskets for me to attack and disturb me outside. ”

The Liukou organized a defensive formation in time, and Liu Guoneng did not attack in order to reduce casualties. The task this time is to drag Zheng Guosong, not to come hard. As long as the overseer can take Tongling City in time, Zheng Guosong's thief army will only need to flee for his life. Next, it is definitely the hardest time for Zheng Guosong. Since the team was divided into two parts, although its own front army organized its formation, it blocked the onslaught of officers and men. But the brothers behind were not so lucky. Due to the suddenness of the incident and the fact that they were taken care of by officers and men, thousands of people who were killed fled in all directions.

After paying some casualties, those cavalry decisively chose to retreat and did not continue to charge. They were armed with muskets, and they saw the opportunity far away. Half an hour later, in the process of moving back the formation, from time to time someone fell under the gun, and not many people died, but the blow to morale was too great. One gunshot means that someone is killed or wounded, and who can guarantee that the next shot will not be their own?

Zheng Guosong's heart was bitter, according to this situation, if he wanted to rush to the aid of Tongling City, it was no fun. As long as he dares to speed up and retreat, and the formation is scattered, these clenching cavalry will definitely pounce.

......

In the south of Tongling City, Tie Mo looked at the crumbling Tongling City from afar, with a long knife on the ground, and a smile swayed at the corner of his mouth. Wang Zuojiao also looked relaxed, if he was a little worried before, then now it can be said that it is foolproof. Zheng Guosong's troops have not been able to return to Tongling City so far, which means that they will never be able to return to Tongling.

This thief soldier stationed in Nijianghe Town is an elite soldier under Li Zicheng, and it has always been the biggest variable in the entire Tongling battlefield. Now that this army is locked by Liu Guoneng, then Tongling City has no room for resistance.

In the distance, a soldier rode up, his forehead covered with sweat from his anxiety. After getting closer, he turned over and dismounted, and ran all the way and shouted: "Report, Sanchexia is urgent, the thief Du Jianwen led the troops out of Datong, and now he has arrived at Sanchexia and is killing the rear of our army." ”

After hearing the news, Tiemo and Wang Zuohang's faces changed greatly, and Xu Zhixin next to him also frowned slightly. The thieves of Datong City dared to wave their troops north and gallop to the aid of Tongling City, which was definitely something that everyone did not expect. In Tiemo's expectation, the thieves could defend Datong and already burned high incense, giving them a few guts, and they didn't dare to go out of the city to fight at this time.

But there are always accidents, but this accident made Tiemo and others run into it. Who would have thought that there would be an outlier like Du Jianwen in the thief. Du Jianwen did this, it seemed that he was here to send him to death, but in fact, he poked at the weakness of the Xuanfu soldiers and horses. In the final analysis, the troops under Tiemo's men are very limited, not to mention, at this time, Zhou Dingshan's soldiers and horses will be delayed due to the fact that they have to deal with the affairs of Lujiang.

In other words, at this time in Tongling, the rear of the Xuanfu soldiers and horses was almost empty. In Tiemo's expectation, as long as Zhou Dingshan can lead his troops to arrive in time and coerce Datong, then the rear will be as stable as Mount Tai. However, he ran into Du Jianwen, an outlier, this guy was so decisive, as soon as the battle started in Tongling City, he led the soldiers and horses to leave Datong City.

"Inspector, do you want to order General Liu to lead his troops back to help? With General Liu's speed, he will definitely be able to catch up with Du Jianwen and hold the rear of our army! ”

As soon as Wang Zuohang brought it up, Tiemo raised his hand and shook it, "No, if you do this, lose the threat, Zheng Guosong will seize the opportunity and quickly enter Tongling City, in that case, it will be much more difficult for us to take Tongling City." ”

"This ..... However, the rear of our army is empty, and Sanchexia is only two hours away, so is it possible to temporarily stop the bombardment of Tongling City and let the Agni Battalion turn around and deal with Du Jianwen first? ”

Although Wang Zuohang said this, he also felt that it was unreliable in his heart. The continuous bombardment was to create pressure on the defenders of Tongling, and at the same time kill and injure the thieves, and break the opponent's determination to defend the city. If the shelling is stopped and the thieves are given a chance to breathe, they will lose all their efforts.

Sure enough, Tiemo didn't think about it, so he rejected Wang Zuohang's proposal. I saw him untie the cloak on his body and casually carry the machete to his shoulder, "What about Chen Yaofeng?" Pull your men over and go with this Inspector to Sanche Gorge. Hey...... It's been a long time since I've been in battle....."

Tie Mo licked his lips, his eyes revealing a hint of madness and longing.

Wang Zuohang was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped Tiemo, "Supervisor, otherwise, let General Chen lead the troops to resist for a while, it's really not good, let's turn the muzzle." Tongling City, we can stop fighting for the time being, you can't have an accident! ”

"Mr. Wang didn't want to say anything more, so he decided. I'll leave the matter to you here, Chen Yaofeng...... Don't be stunned...... Come with me......"

Tiemo said to go, turned over his horse, and rushed out with a machete. Wang Zuo's anxious eyes were about to pop out......

Since entering the Yunfu, it has been rare to see Tiemo personally go into battle to kill the enemy, if something happens to Tiemo, the Yunfu will not fall apart immediately? You know, Tiemo still hasn't had an heir. Xu Zhixin didn't expect Tiemo to do this, a dignified supervisor, pick up a knife and go to the battlefield, what kind of trouble is this?

Chen Yaofeng didn't dare to let go of his fart, so he picked up the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and rushed out behind Tiemo.

Xu Zhixin's eyebrows were huddled, she hesitated, turned over on her horse, and rushed over.

Wang Zuo was anxious, and the current situation was not at all what he expected. Tiemo and Xu Zhixin, if any of these two people had a problem, Nan Zhili had to tremble.

In the blink of an eye, Tiemo led thousands of elite soldiers and met Du Jianwen's soldiers and horses. Du Jianwen was in a hurry to rescue Tongling, there was no superfluous nonsense at all, and he directly ordered everyone to rush forward. The iron ink galloped wildly, and a ghost-headed knife flew left and right, and the knife was fatal. Although he didn't go into battle to kill the enemy for a long time, he didn't fall behind in his skills.

"Ah...... My arm ....."

The ghost head knife slashed obliquely, cutting off the arm of a strong man, making the other party scream in pain.

Du Jianwen quickly noticed the man who was wielding a knife and slashing, and after a closer look, the whole person became excited.

It was actually the living king of Hades, and he actually went into battle to kill the enemy himself.
