Chapter 42: Retribution is coming
Zhen Lingdan secretly thought: Jiangxi's public security is stable, especially after the accident in Jiujiang Mansion, all places have tightened their garrisons, and it is difficult to capture other places.
Thinking about it, Zhen Lingdan's cold sweat fell, and he hurriedly ordered: 40,000 people with grain, grass and ordnance rushed to Jiujiang Mansion to support, and the rest of the people took Hubei with me, and gathered together with the local soldiers and newly recruited recruits, and then fought an ambush.
Zhen Lingdan was afraid that his news was wrong, Lu Yunzhi led the army to the south to occupy the two lakes, so that he had no place to stand, so he was anxious to run, and the army was separated, one team to the east, one team to the west, in order to prevent Lu Yunzhi from besieging Jiujiang Mansion and forcing the city to surrender when the city ran out of ammunition and food, so the army that went to Jiujiang Mansion to rescue was all excellent sergeants, morale and discipline were very guaranteed, and then most of the grain and grass in the hands were also escorted, including the materials of the Ming army that had been captured before,
The route to rescue Jiujiang Mansion does not need to be determined, at that time, the route they wanted to ambush Bai Yongzhu saw and heard and rescued was the closest, so the army rushed along this road, but they didn't know that this was a road of death without return, and the reincarnation of retribution was tried and tested.
When the army entered between the two mountains, the officer who led the team still felt a hint of danger coming, and it was because he was alert that the first wave of ambush only shrouded the vanguard troops.
Lu Yunzhi stood on Tingzi Mountain, he did not command in front of the battle like Zhen Lingdan, but sat there calmly and drank tea, the piano he played was "General Order", the sound of the piano became passionate from melodious, he transmitted the sound of the air, the sound was loud and clear, his own soldiers were high-spirited, and the enemy was dead, this time it was their turn to ambush,
Zhen Lingdan, who was leading the troops to the east, did not expect that Lu Yunzhi also saw through his trick and contacted Bai Yong, the two acted separately, Lu Yunzhi led his troops from Hubei to intervene diagonally, occupying Erlong Mountain and Tingzi Mountain, where Zhen Lingdan wanted to ambush, while Bai Yong had other arrangements, and soon he could slaughter his horses.
The Ming army did not rush down, except for the huge boulders blocking the way, the fire oil blocked, did not release an arrow or throw a stone, and a commander shouted: "Wait and surrender quickly, otherwise there will be no mercy." ”
The enemy captain did not completely enter the encirclement, naturally ignore this, they have enough loyalty to their own military commander Zhen Lingdan, although they have not been together for a long time, but this old man who is strong and strong, serious and kind, rewards and punishments and proper command has been deeply engraved into the hearts of every soldier, the military heart is fearless, it can be said that Zhen Lingdan is really a general,
Lu Yunzhi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Let's play a round first." "The Divine Fire Crow Ballista and the Burst Fire Gun emerged from under the grass cover, shooting frantically towards the sergeant in the ambush, not a single soldier went down to fight, and it was useless to use the terrain to go down the mountain and the tiger, because there was no need for this, with the support of Fang Qingze, Daming's financial resources at this time could not be compared to the rebellious Zhen Lingdan,
The weapons of murder came from afar, as if they didn't want money, and when they didn't stop, the rebels in ambush only saw the blood flowers and the comrades who fell to the ground, they no longer lived with each other's food and grass and ordnance but desperately broke out, and the 40,000 people who entered the encirclement just now had 5,000 dead and more than 10,000 wounded.
The rebels continue to fall, but the firepower of the Ming army still shows no signs of stopping, as if gunpowder bows and crossbows are pouring down without money, the rebel generals are terrified, how to fight this battle, people don't need to send troops to fight at all, just a long-range weapon bombardment of their own casualties more than half, I'm afraid that today I can't even see the enemy's face to explain here,
They were thinking about it, when suddenly the Ming army stopped attacking, and someone shouted: "Surrender quickly, otherwise there will be no armor left." There was still a trace of luck in the rebels' hearts and they wanted to rush out with this opportunity, so no one answered, just kept whipping the war horses, screaming in their mouths, and the infantry threw off their legs and ran for their lives, the rebels lost their armor and were embarrassed, but they soon found that this was just a game of cat and mouse, no matter how they escaped, they could not escape from the Ming army's Wuzhi Mountain,
They rushed out of the valley, but on the slope on the north side there were thick metal barrels, it looked like there were forty or fifty of them, and the rebels knew that this was artillery, and now the team had just rushed out of the valley mouth and was very densely populated, and at this moment a shell would kill a lot of people, not to mention these forty or fifty guns.
The cannon rang out, the rebels cried, weren't the shells solid, how could the shells of the Ming army explode after they landed, and countless pieces of iron killed and injured the soldiers who ran together, but there were still some veterans in the team, they were lying in the pit blown out by the previous shell, they knew that this was the artillery designed by Fang Qingze, they had seen it in the battle a few years ago, and they also remembered the survival skills on the battlefield, that is, it was impossible for a shell fired by a cannon to hit a pit,
The soldiers who frantically fled for their lives were blown to pieces, or were hit by flying pieces of iron and fell to the ground, and under the leadership of veterans, there were still many people jumping from one pit to another newly blown out, but this law is not so easy to use at the moment, but it is also commendable to save the lives of some people, the reason why it is not easy to use is because the number of artillery is too much, it is simply a covering bombardment, where can they jump back and forth,
This time, the Ming army did not shout anything if they did not surrender, the shells were the same as the firearms and crossbows just now, and they were "splashed" again as if they did not want money, and gradually about 2,000 people escaped from the range of the artillery, and they looked back during the run, and the comrades who were still alive just now were only left with a cold corpse, and stumps and broken arms scattered on the ground,
The image of the rebels is embarrassed, covered with blood, and I don't know if it's my own or my comrades, there are many people who are injured but don't know it, their spirits are very tight, and they don't dare to be careless for a moment, so they don't feel the pain on their bodies at all, it seems that the Ming army is going to kill them all, hey, I regret that I shouldn't have surrendered without removing my armor just now, but now I want to lose my life here,
A general touched the blood on his face and said to the rebels beside him: "Brothers, don't be discouraged, we have escaped from the enemy's encirclement, let's quickly leave this plain and go into the mountains and forests, so that they can't find us, and then avenge the dead brothers when the commander returns." Originally, it was not the turn of the general to say such encouraging words, and he would only say what kind of old tune it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but now that the generals in the army are dead, and his official position is the largest among the remaining people.
