Chapter 504: Shoot You
Who is He Tengjiao?
What a ruthless man who is an expert in infighting!
If Zuo Mengeng had reversed from the beginning, even if he pulled the troops out of the city to start a war, he would not necessarily lose. But if you want to use any "Hongmen burial" to catch He Tengjiao, you are really looking for death.
Where can He Tengjiao fall for him? Not only will they not be fooled, but they also have a more poisonous plan.
This time, the 2,000 infantry who followed He Tengjiao were not his own soldiers at all, but a regiment of infantry of the New Army led by Tang Laosi (the one who killed Tang Tong, who was also an expert in infighting). The one hundred and ten ironclad knights are a company of new army cavalry, all of whom are the elite of the battle-hardened and have killed the Tartars!
Zuo Mengeng should have burned the pontoon bridge and closed the city just now, but he wanted to trick He Tengjiao into the city to be captured alive, but he was coaxed by He Tengjiao's words, and he didn't pay attention, so he let these killing gods get down from the pontoon bridge and go to the embankment, and they also launched a formation to launch a fire gun!
Zuo Mengeng's reaction was quite fast, and when he saw that something was wrong, he didn't dare to organize resistance, so he turned around and ran, even caring about the military advisor Huang Shu behind him. Huang Shu was also clever, and when he saw Zuo Mengeng running away, he immediately ran away. A group of commanders and deputy generals of the Zuo family army who followed Zuo Mengeng rushed to flee for their lives when they saw that something was wrong. None of them were alone, they all came with their own guards, and these guards also ran with their masters.
For a while, it was all messed up outside the south gate of Gangneung!
However, the three thousand families brought out by Zuo Mengeng are still reliable at critical moments, they are all dead friends who have followed Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Mengeng's father and son for many years, and they are loyal! And I don't know how powerful the guns of the new army are? I didn't even know that the two thousand "He Jiading" in front of me were the famous New Army of Overcoming Difficulties.
So when Zuo Mengeng pulled out his legs and ran away, they picked up the guy and rushed forward, wanting to pounce on it for hand-to-hand combat.
The people in charge of commanding the family are the most fierce warriors of the Zuojia Army, and they often go into battle to fight, and they all know that the Ming army has the problem of indiscriminate shooting. So while commanding their subordinates to form a formation, they took the lead and shouted: "Kill the thief!" Kill the thief ......"
However, after shouting for a while, the other party did not fire indiscriminately, but ignited the arquebus unhurriedly, loaded ammunition, and then launched a firing formation.
Tang Laosi is now a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, and he is also "gilded" in the Nanjing Lecture Hall, and he also learned the correct way to use the Morris phalanx from the foreign general Shi Ruien.
Because none of the Zuo family members on the opposite side were riding horses, Tang Laosi adopted the tactic of moving forward with musketeers and deploying three columns of muskets in front of the pikemen phalanx. His regiment had four battalions, each with two hundred and forty firearms, for a total of nine hundred and sixty firearms, all aimed at the Zuo family who was shouting.
The family members standing in the forefront have already found out that something is wrong, but the military discipline of the Zuo family is strict, and they don't dare to run away without orders - most of them have families and families, and they all live in Jiangling City, and if they escape, it will kill the whole family......
"Boom ......"
Just when this group of Zuo family members found out that something was wrong and didn't dare to run away, a volley of fire guns fired.
The roar of the salvo fired by the nine hundred and sixty firebolts at a distance of more than thirty paces was almost the same as the fire of the Hongyi cannon, and the rumble shook the heavens and the earth. Nine hundred and sixty lead bullets whistled out of the mouth of the fire gun, sweeping through the Zuo family's family like a hurricane, and the place where it passed was suddenly a piece of flesh and blood.
When the roar sounded, he had just run to the edge of the moat, and before he could get on the drawbridge, he was frightened by the loud sound of the Hongyi cannon firing.
He also has firecrackers in his house, and there are no more than 10,000 birds, three-eyed guns, and turtledoves and turtledoves. But how could the fire be so neat? It must have been crackling like a firecracker, and it wasn't that loud...... Because the quality of these guns was not good, the soldiers were afraid of exploding, so they did not dare to add enough gunpowder, and there was nothing accurate thirty paces away.
But the sound of this volley of firearms today doesn't sound right!
He hurriedly looked back, only to see that his own family members who had been through a hundred battles were now in chaos, and the people standing in front of them were about to run, while the people behind the formation were rushing forward with their heads covered, and the two groups of people collided together, and they were immediately chaotic. There were also bursts of heart-rending screams...... Listening to this scream, Zuo Mengeng's heart twitched, how many people were hit by that volley just now?
Just when I was feeling frightened, a piercing suona sound suddenly came, and then there was a deafening roar!
The Zuo family, who was already in chaos, was even more chaotic, two rounds of salvos had already brought down three or four hundred people, the casualties exceeded one percent, the screams and wails became one, and the people who had not been shot were also in fear - this was a killing injury in just a few dozen breaths!
How could the He family's firecrackers be so powerful? Where the hell did they come from?
"Major General, go away! Major General, let's go......"
The family members who were protecting Zuo Mengeng also knew that it was broken, and without waiting for Zuo Mengeng to react, they rushed to the city gate with him in their hands.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly, otherwise Zuo Mengeng wouldn't even have a chance to run back to Jiangling City!
Because more than 100 ironclad cavalry who followed He Tengjiao had already mounted their horses and charged at the chaotic Zuo family!
Don't look at the fact that there are only more than 100 riders, but the timing of the charge is well grasped! At the moment when the Zuo family members were disrupted by two volleys of firearms, they rushed over like tigers descending from the mountain. The formation of the family collapsed in an instant, and more than 2,000 people rushed wildly, all rushing towards the south gate of Gangneung City.
"Major General, quickly order the city gate to be closed!"
"Major General, you can't close the door, it's all our brothers outside!"
"Major General, they only have more than two thousand people...... Let's send troops out and kill them! ”
As soon as Zuo Mengeng ran into the city gate, he was surrounded by a group of general generals who ran faster than him, and shouted nonsense. Some people suggested closing the door, some people opposed closing the door, and some bravely simply persuaded Zuo Mengeng to lead the troops to kill them.
Being noisy by his subordinates, Zuo Mengeng only felt a headache, and just wanted to roar, he heard the sound of crying coming from behind, and when he looked back, it turned out that the family members who had been scattered by He Tengjiao's cavalry had rushed to the edge of the moat. There were no less than 2,000 people, and there was no order, just rushing to run for their lives.
These are precious family members!
Why have they become fat pigs killed and expelled by random people now? Why are He Tengjiao's soldiers so fierce...... Wrong! Zuo Mengeng realized at this time that this was not He Tengjiao's person, but Zhu Cihong's new army of overcoming difficulties!
"Hurry up and release the jack brake!" Thinking of those new troops who can even kill Haoge, Zuo Mengeng doesn't even want his family!
With the lifting of the jack gate, the inside and outside of the south gate of Gangneung were temporarily separated. The housekeepers who were blocked out of the city now had to enter the city by hanging them in baskets.
But the new army brought by He Tengjiao has nine hundred and dozens of firearms! A quarter of them are long-range turtledoves.
Isn't the person who sits in the basket and hangs himself a living target?
"Great General Cannon! Quickly push the general's cannon up and hit He Tengjiao! ”
Zuo Mengeng, who went to the head of the city, heard the sporadic sound of banging and the continuous screams, and immediately knew that something was wrong.
His family has become a target...... So I hurriedly adjusted the gun!
But now that his cannon is facing the city, where is it so easy to move?
Just when Zuo Mengeng's subordinates panicked to move the cannons, the sound of firecrackers outside the city had stopped.
Zuo Mengeng thought to himself: Could it be that their fire gun is hot and can't be launched?
At this moment, someone suddenly opened his throat and shouted in unison: "Zuo Mengeng rebelled and took refuge in the rogue, He Futai was ordered to lead the troops to arrest him, only take the culprit, do not ask about coercion, and those who surrender will not die!" ”
What the? Zuo Mengeng wants to surrender Li Zicheng? All of a sudden, dozens of eyes shot at Major General Zuo, all from the general lieutenants under his command.
It seems to ask: is there such a thing?
