Chapter 1046: Scarlet Shangyuan Festival (3)
The sudden explosion of "boom ......" made Cai Jiumeng, who was sitting in the car dizzy, feel excited, and at the same time, the carriage he was riding in also suddenly stopped at this moment, causing his whole body to rush forward again. But at this time, he and the soldiers outside no longer cared about such trivial matters, because the ensuing drums and trumpets, as well as the accompanying sound of killing from the heights on both sides, had frightened them into distraction, and Cai Jiu leaned against the wall of the carriage with a short body, not daring to act rashly.
The Jiangzhou officers and soldiers outside were even more chaotic, they were completely unattacked by such terrible weapons, they were obviously walking on the official road, and suddenly there was a flash of fire under their feet, and at the same time of the explosion, there were countless pieces of fine iron sand and iron that spread out like raindrops, and immediately shot dozens of people in that area covered in blood, and they rolled and screamed after falling to the ground.
And before they could react, the sound of drums and trumpets started again, and there were killing sounds on the high hills on both sides, and countless soldiers and horses attacked left and right, stabbing at the middle of the frightened army like two sharp knives, which made the entire Jiangzhou army fall into a greater panic, and many people couldn't even raise their weapons.
Before the man could reach him, there was a flurry of arrows like hail and a fist-sized porcelain vase with sparks, and the whoosh accompanied by the boom immediately tore the whole army apart, and the soldiers fled back and forth like frightened rabbits, completely ignoring the formation and military discipline. As soon as the battle began, the Jiangzhou army, which thought it could seize control of Tokyo, had already fallen into collapse, and there was no fighting spirit to speak of.
But even if they wanted to escape, their opponents wouldn't give them a chance. Because at this time, there was another cavalry team with amazing speed in front of them galloping like the wind, still a hundred paces away, their arrows had been spilled over, and when they came closer, they waved their swords and guns again, like a fierce tiger and cheetah, and launched a fierce offensive against the entire Jiangzhou army like a snow bowl together with their comrades who were attacking from both sides. On their way to charge, there was almost no half of them who could stop them, it was really like entering a no-man's land, rushing straight into the center of the Jiangzhou army.
Countless Jiangzhou troops have completely lost the courage to resist at this moment, and they can't even escape. That's why when the soldiers on both sides came to kill, they shouted: "Those who abandon their weapons and lay on the ground will be spared death!" And they all did so, and fell to their knees with their hands free.
Only the guards near Cai Jiu's carriage still tried to resist one or two. But in an instant, it was blown up by a burst of devastated bullets that cut the head and covered the face, and the casualties were heavy, and even a decent defensive position could not be put out, and then the cavalry made a final reap.
When the enemy was strong and we were weak, and we were attacked by a surprise attack, and even the weapons were far inferior, this mighty general was defeated in the suburbs of Tokyo City, which was still about 20 miles away. With the exception of a few rearguards who reacted quickly enough to escape, the others were either killed or captured. Where is this battle, it is clearly a one-sided slaughter and suppression.
Wu Song and other generals who led the team to charge and kill only felt that they were still unfinished for a while, and they didn't have any strength, these enemies had completely given up, compared with them, the Liao and Jin people in the north were more interesting.
Of course, Lin Chong, as the main general of the soldiers and horses along the way, did not have such a mind to underestimate the enemy, and immediately passed down one order after another, asking people to bind up and watch all these prisoners. And he himself led the people slowly to the carriage that lay in the middle of the road, and had not moved for a long time.
With a wave of his hand, there were soldiers on the left and right who rushed over, and suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, revealing the contents of it - I saw a man in a vermilion official uniform in the car curled up all over, hiding in the corner of the carriage and shivering.
After only a moment's stunned, all the soldiers showed a disdainful sneer, and immediately someone got into the car and dragged Cai Jiu down. And after being dragged out of the car, Cai Jiu trembled like a leaf in the wind, and screamed again and again: "Don't kill me...... I am an official of the imperial court, the son of my Taishi Cai Jing, you can't kill me......"
"Don't worry, we won't kill you right now. Even if I want to kill you, I have to wait until you are taken to Tokyo and interrogated by the imperial court before making a decision! Lin Chong stood in front of this trembling guy, and his heart was in a trance, thinking back to the beginning, all this was really like a dream.
I vaguely remember that when I was in Tokyo as the head of the forbidden army, I had to keep my voice down when I saw any civil official, and I didn't dare to be half a point of slacking off and disrespectful, only I knelt down to greet others, and a big man like Cai Jiu wanted to see an existence that I couldn't get. But now, such a person himself can condescendingly watch him kowtow to him and beg for mercy, and even his father Cai Jing has already become a fish on the chopping block......
"Cai Taishou, you are really brave enough and filial enough, you really dare to lead the army to rebel and go straight to Tokyo. But I don't want to think about how we can leave you a chance to take advantage of everything now that we are in control? It was Luda who said this, and he had some friendship with Cai Jiu.
Cai Jiu, who was still confused and frightened, suddenly shook his body after hearing this, and after stiffening for a moment, he slowly raised his head and looked at Luda: "You mean ......?"
"You think you still have the strength to fight, but in fact, you don't know that your reaction has long been expected by our General Sun, and you have all been tricked." Wu Song also spoke at this time and gave the other party a heavy blow. Sure enough, after hearing this, Cai Jiucai really went limp, and his eyes were full of despair: "What...... How can this be ......?"
As soon as he collapsed like this, the last bit of confidence of the soldiers around him completely dissipated, and as a result, this ambush battle finally ended in a complete victory for the thief army.
From the time the enemy stepped into the trap to the end of the battle, in just a few hours, their own casualties were negligible, but they completely wiped out the foreign aid that Cai Jing and the others had high hopes for.
But even so, Lin Chong didn't see much relaxed joy on his face, but frowned and turned his head, looking in the direction of Tokyo City in front of him: "I don't know how many movements those guys will make in the city, can the general completely annihilate them at the lowest cost......
At this time, the city of Tokyo was once again in chaos. Because of this commotion on the Dharma field, the people over there were greatly frightened, and they all ran around like headless flies, which also gave those guys who were hiding in the shadows more opportunities to attack. They either rushed straight to the important yamen with fire and oil, or they kept killing and injuring innocent people with sharp blades, trying to make the whole situation even more chaotic so as to create a better chance for the next capture of the capital. Especially at several key city gates, there are even teams of people and horses who are flying up, trying to take advantage of this chaos to take them.
Of course, the most important thing is the protection and retreat of Cai Jing and other important officials. At this time, not only were there hundreds of elites around them, but there were also more than a dozen marksmen at the high point near the law field, and whenever an army stepped forward to block them, they would shoot the officers with cold arrows in time, thus opening the way forward.
Liang Miao is such a marksman, he was originally an errand boy in the forbidden army, but he was taken under Liang Shicheng early, and now it has become the contact point of a restaurant in the southeast corner. Just now, he had fired seven arrows in a row, knocked down five rebel officers, and helped his master to go around to the remote part of the street and alley ahead. Now, just waiting for him to take another ride, Liang Shicheng's side can retreat into the stronghold where everything has been prepared.
And at this moment, Liang Miao saw that an army appeared on the retreat of his master, and there were a lot of them, which seemed to be enough to bring a threat. He immediately squinted and looked for the leader of this army, as long as he shot this person, he could quickly disrupt the rhythm of the opponent and buy his own people a chance to kill him.
Soon the goal had been determined by him, and the feather arrows were skillfully mounted on the bowstring. He is confident in his archery skills, and in a hundred paces, a target that does not move fast can be hit by a hundred shots. But at the moment when he pulled the bowstring and was about to let go, an abrupt sense of horror hit Liang Miao's heart, followed by a swishing sound from the side. It was all too familiar to him, it was the sound of the arrow as it flew out, and when he heard it, it meant that the arrow was only a stone's throw away from him.
The whole heart contracted suddenly at this moment, Liang Miao no longer bothered to aim at the target, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the person had already rolled to the side. But it was too late, and just as he let go and rolled on his side, a feathered arrow was nailed to his neck with a pop, bringing up a large patch of blood.
The sharp arrow cut off Liang Miao's arteries and throat in one fell swoop, causing him to let out a half-roar, and the sound broke quickly, but the blood shot out like a fountain, and after only two or three breaths, he was silent. Like the soldiers he shot before, he fell in a pool of his own blood.
In the distance, Hua Rong didn't even look at this target again, and had already decisively aimed at the opponent's shooter who had been found elsewhere. With a loose finger, the arrow flew out again, spanning a distance of more than one hundred and twenty paces, and accurately nailed into the man's eye socket, harvesting another enemy archer.
"The fifth!" He whispered that as long as the archers who shot within his sight were all found and shot by him. On the other side, Fan Qi had a similar effect, and six archers were shot by him one by one. Cai Jing and other traitorous henchmen have been pulled out of the chess pieces in the high places, and now it is only up to the back hands on the ground to launch a counterattack!
