Chapter 398: A big one

"Boom—"

When each loud noise came, it meant that several coyote soldiers were torn apart by the projectile, and more gunshots meant that a large number of coyote soldiers were knocked to the ground, making desperate and miserable screams, which made people feel creepy when they heard it.

However, when the mortar cannon of the Fu Han army sounded, thousands of iron pellets, lead bullets, and broken iron pieces swept away in the direction of the coyote soldiers, bringing up a bloody mist in the sky, which meant that the battle was basically victorious.

In fact, when the battle came to this point, the Fu Han army did not even use grenades, and the coyote soldiers rushed to the front of the people under the baptism of the last wave of mortar cannons and platoon guns, and almost seven of the ten people fell, and the remaining three people were completely discouraged, and even the soldiers of the Fu Han army did not even use grenades, they had already collapsed.

No matter how high the morale of the coyote soldiers is, they are all human after all, and in the face of this cruel firepower, they will also die, and they will also become a pile of minced meat, and naturally they will also have the feeling of fear.

In Guo Ding'an's view through the clairvoyant mirror, only a burst of white light flashed in front of the Fu Han army's formation, and then there was a thick white fog, and it was not clear what to see at all, but the formation of the Fu Han army has always remained intact, which shows that the coyote soldiers can't rush up and can't get in.

The thunderous explosion completely overturned Cen San, and he seemed to have felt the smell of blood in the air, but he was still not really injured, which made Cen San show great despair on the one hand, but on the other hand, he showed great despair, because almost all the dozens of people he led were dead.......

Cen San personally watched the brothers he led fall in batches as if they had been cut wheat, but he had no choice, because no matter what he did, he could hardly escape this fate.

Almost all the coyote soldiers were so frightened that they began to run back, and together with Cen San, they were also wrapped up in it, running backwards vigorously, Cen San understood that it would be a death to flee back like this, so he quickly pulled out his saber and roared: "Do you want to die?" If you want to die, run back! ”

But in the sound of artillery fire, Cen San's voice was only heard by a few people close to him, but no one paid attention to him at all, and now it is clear that rushing up is death, who would be so stupid? As for him, a member of the Cen family, although he is a small leader, who will really listen to him?

Seeing that Cen San couldn't stop the rout, he hurriedly pulled out his knife and cut off the head of a person next to him, blood splashed all over him, and then he said loudly: "Whoever dares to retreat, behead!" ”

The routs who were rushing backwards, seeing Cen San's fierce and vicious appearance, knew in their hearts that they couldn't entangle with him, and they didn't care about him at the moment, just avoided him and continued to run back, and Cen San was angry and anxious, and was about to rush over to stop these routs, but he didn't find a black dot falling from the sky.

"Boom—"

With a roar, Cen San, who was running forward, flew out like a rag bag, his body was full of large and small blood holes, and he was already out of breath when he fell to the ground.

"Kill! Rush with me! ”

Deng Youguang, the commander of the first battalion of the first regiment of the third division of the Fuhan Army, shouted loudly, holding a flintlock pistol in his hand, which had already been loaded with bayonets, and rushed out in one go, while the officers and soldiers of the Fuhan army behind him were also like Deng Youguang, holding bayonets and launching a pursuit.

"The overall situation has been decided, pass the order down, clean up the remnants, and capture Cen Yingbi alive!"

Guo Dingan had a smile on his face, sometimes fighting is a complete calculation, calculating one's own firepower and the morale of the other party, when the firepower is enough to cover the other party, then this battle is naturally simple, it is a war, in fact, it is a kind of slaughter, after all, flesh and blood cannot collide with steel anyway.

The soldiers of the Fu Han army all over the mountains pursued the fleeing coyote soldiers, this kind of pursuit battle is often the time to create the best results, and it is relatively safe, because once the enemy army is dispersed, it is almost impossible to organize a counterattack, so the morale of the pursuing Fu Han soldiers is extremely high.

Cen Yingbi, who was standing behind the formation, saw that the soldiers in front of him were defeated, and he couldn't take care of it a lot, so he quickly took off his armor, and then changed into the clothes of a coyote soldier, and began to run in the direction of Sizhou with his personal guards.

God knows how this battle came to be! This is simply incredible, Cen Yingbi thinks that he has also fought a war, even if he has some confidence in the Shangqing army, but the current battle is almost taught by people to fight, and there is no room for counterattack.

"It's over, it's over....... The army is gone......."

"It's over, my Cen family is finished......"

Cen Yingbi ran away, but such a thought flashed in his heart, the four thousand coyote soldiers that the Cen family relied on were almost wiped out in one battle, which means that Sizhou has no soldiers to defend at all!

Once Sizhou falls, it means that the Cen family, which has a centuries-old heritage in Sizhou. Utter destruction. And he Cen Yingbi is the sinner of the family.

The pursuit lasted until the evening, and after this battle, the spirit of the coyote soldiers was knocked out, and they couldn't help but feel a little afraid in their eyes when they looked at the Fu Han army.

Coyote soldiers, who are not afraid of heaven and earth, finally have people who are afraid.

Those soldiers in red uniforms, almost all of them had an indifferent expression, no enthusiasm, no fear, and even few emotional fluctuations, they seriously raised their guns to aim, and then pulled the trigger, or raised their bayonets to attack directly, killing the enemy almost became an orderly work.

A small group of coyote soldiers ran in front, and their endurance on weekdays was very high, so this distance did not make them feel physically tired, but the inner fatigue could not be stopped, and Cen Yingbi, who was the leader, was even more at a loss, he only cared about running, but he did not know the direction at all.

"Bang-"

With the sound of a burst of gunshots, blood flowers appeared on several coyote soldiers, and then their bodies moved forward, one of them happened to press Cen Yingbi's body, but it scared him so much that he hurriedly raised his hands.

"Don't shoot, I'm Cen Yingbi, I'm Cen Yingbi...... Don't shoot! ”

When the pursuing soldiers of the Fu Han Army heard this person speak, their faces showed a little joy, and they caught the commander of the other party's army, which was a great achievement!

.........

That night, the Fu Han army completely completed the final sweeping work on the battlefield, and counted more than 1,500 coyote soldiers killed and wounded, and captured more than 2,000 people from Cen Yingbi and below, leaving less than 300 people out of the battlefield and scattered.

It can be said that this battle was the first battle of the Fu Han Army's march into the southwest, and Guo Ding'an was still very proud of being able to achieve such an outstanding result, at least he had an explanation in the Privy Council, and he also had an explanation for the third division!

After all, if he Guo Ding'an's original brigade commander in the Praetorian Guard was transferred to be the division commander, it would usually be a new division with a double-digit start, and as for the old main division like the Third Division, he would generally be the deputy division commander first, so his promotion this time could be called an exception, and he urgently needed a big victory to consolidate his prestige.

Cen Yingbi was tied with his hands behind his back and escorted to Guo Ding'an's handsome tent, the hat on his head had been pulled out, and the whole person knelt in the center of the handsome tent with his hair scattered.

Guo Ding'an didn't look up at his defeated generals at all, but said lightly: "Can this battle be convincing?" ”

"Convincing ......"

"Give you a chance to live and persuade Sizhou City to surrender, are you willing to go?"

"This ......"

Cen Yingbi was a little hesitant, no matter what, he couldn't persuade his eldest brother to surrender, it was really too humiliating.....

"Since you don't want to, Ben will also respect your choice, come and drag him out........"

"Slashed!"

Guo Ding'an would not be so polite to the captive, he stared at Cen Yingbi and squeezed out the two words that he had not finished.

Cen Yingbi's face showed a trace of despair, he closed his eyes in pain, and then was dragged out of the camp by the Fu Han sergeants, and he lost his life.

After dealing with Cen Yingbi, Guo Dingan will not be so idle, he still has a lot of things to do, not only to write the battle report of this battle, but also to file it in the Privy Council in the future, and to prepare a plan to attack Sizhou tomorrow, which cannot be delayed for a moment, otherwise Deputy Envoy Cheng will come to scold his mother.

After a while, a spy entered the camp, and they presented a piece of information, but Guo Ding'an was a little frightened.

"He Shiji, the governor of Guizhou of the Qing army, has led 5,000 people to supervise the standard, and Xu Wanhe, the chief soldier of Yongshun Town, a total of more than 8,000 people, arrived in Luodian a few days ago."

What is Luodian? It was the junction of Guizhou and Guizhou provinces, only two days away from Sizhou, although Guo Dingan did not understand why the Qing army moved so fast, but he also understood one thing at the moment, that is, if the Qing army in Guizhou occupied Sizhou first, then it would be difficult to fight behind his third division, and this also meant that the battle in the southwest had a tendency to expand.

You must know that now the main force of the 50,000 Fu Han army led by King Changshan is advancing westward, and it has not yet confronted Yue Zhongqi head-on! But the two provinces of Guizhou and Guizhou are already in full swing!

Both sides belong to the partial division, but Guo Dingan is also confident that he will completely eat the partial division of the Qing army on the other side, so that he will have the opportunity to stab Yue Zhongqi's ass from the south all the way north before the battle of Sichuan is over, which is a great achievement!

"Someone, copy the information to Deputy Envoy Cheng, and immediately report the current situation of our army, just say that I, Guo Ding'an, are going to take the first step, and let Deputy Envoy Cheng lead the two divisions behind to converge in Sizhou City."

Guo Dingan looked at the map in front of him, but he covered the entire palm of his hand on Sizhou City.

"Since you're going to make a big fight, then you're welcome!"

........

Cen Yingchen is stupid now, he has received the news of the rout army that fled from the front, that is, the four thousand coyote soldiers led by his third brother Cen Yingbi have been wiped out, and the Fu Han army is still attacking Sizhou City, and it will arrive in Sizhou City as soon as tomorrow afternoon!

This was completely unexpected by Cen Yingchen, he didn't expect the Fu Han army to be so tough, he didn't even give a chance to beg for mercy, and he started fighting when he met directly, and he didn't expect that the combat power of the Fu Han army was so strong, and the four thousand people he was proud of didn't even withstand a day, and they were all wiped out.

At present, for the Cen family, it is no longer a question of whether to keep Sizhou City, but how to ensure the safety of the Cen family...... If the Fu Han army fights again, the Cen family is afraid that it will be too late to kneel again.

Cen Yinghan's face was a little pale, he couldn't believe that his coyote soldiers were wiped out in one fell swoop, so he had to look at his eldest brother Cen Yingchen with an expectant look.

"Big brother, could this news be fake, I heard that Chu rebels and thieves have always liked to play these tricks......."

"Enough!"

Cen Yingchen looked at his younger brother coldly, "Use your pig brain!" One person said that this matter could be fake, but now there are hundreds of defeated soldiers, and these people are all personal experience, can there be a fake? ”

"Right now, our Cen family is completely planted...... If you had known this was the case, why bother in the first place? ”

Cen Yingchen let out a long sigh, in fact, he also knew in his heart that if the Fu Han Army did not show its military might, they would never have imagined that their coyote soldiers would be so vulnerable, and they would definitely not give up the power of Tusi that had been passed down for hundreds of years.

You must know that in this Sizhou place, their Cen family can be called the real emperor of the soil, how can the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years be easily handed over?

It can be said that from the very beginning, there was an irreconcilable contradiction between their Tusi and the Fu Han Army, and for Ning Yu, he would never allow the so-called Tusi to exist in a place with him.

At the beginning, after the Fu Han army completely took Hubei, it only gave two choices to the Tusi in western Hubei, either to choose to surrender, completely give up the power of the Tusi, and send officials to the Fu Han army, or to wait for destruction.

When Ning Yu went to Yunyang to inspect at that time, he had already issued strict orders against the Tusi forces, and Guo Chong, the first prefect of Xunyang at that time, spared no effort to crack down on the Tusi forces.

And at that time, Ning Chu was just rebelling, and the number of enemies he faced was completely incomparable today, Ning Yu didn't choose to compromise at that time, how could he compromise now?

Isn't it just a war, then fight, fight him upside down, beat him all the way, and knock out all these old toasts, so that the southwest can be better governed in the future.

Therefore, this contradiction between the Cen family and Ning Chu is a dead knot, and it can't be talked about at all, and there is no way to talk about it.

"Big brother, second brother, our Cen family is not lifeless, He Junmen and Lord Xu have already arrived in Luodian, and it is not far from my Sizhou, but tomorrow we must defend Sizhou City, in order to usher in a glimmer of life!"

Cen Yinglin's face was also a little ugly, he forced himself to cheer up and appease his eldest brother and second brother, after all, the Cen family has been operating in Sizhou for hundreds of years, and the background is still there, if he tries his best to wait for the Qing army to come to help, it is not without a chance of winning.

As soon as Cen Yingchen heard this, he was a little puzzled at the moment, "Little brother, how do you know about this?" Could it be ......."

"Big brother, my classmate and friend are now under He Junmen's account, so I told him about Sizhou two days ago, probably through him, He Junmen learned about this matter......

Cen Yinglin explained briefly, and then said in a low voice: "Big brother, the focus at the moment is how to hold Sizhou...... Almost all of our Cen family are in Sizhou, if Sizhou falls, no matter what the others do, our Cen family is afraid that they will inevitably go to the edge of the knife......."

"That's it, that's it..... Since Chu Wei won't let us live, let's not let them have a good time, fight! ”

Cen Yingchen clenched his fists fiercely, and his face was even more ruthless, if he didn't have two brushes, how could this Sizhou City be occupied by his Cen family for hundreds of years?
