[240] The left army is in the nest

The cavalry that rushed to the front had the muzzle of the cannon that happened to meet the artillery, and the so-called gun shot the first bird, which is the case. A group of people rushing forward with guns and cannons, there will always be people who rush in front to be hit, and these people also have this awareness, just to block for their companions behind them.

Although it was a small-caliber artillery, because it was a shrapnel loaded with lead and iron sand, it was fired at medium and close range, and the power could be said to be quite amazing, just to meet the left cavalry of the muzzle, the knight on horseback was beaten to pieces, the horse was also killed into pieces by the barrage, and the front legs of one horse were almost beaten upside down, and then smashed into the head of the rear cavalryman.

The horse was frightened, neighed violently, and then raised its front hooves high and brushed the knight off the horse's back, and the knight was immediately trampled to pieces by the hooves and feet of the horses rolling behind him

The shrapnel fired by the forty-eight artillery pieces formed a curtain wall of death within the range of the Ming artillery, and the flying iron sand lead bullets themselves were relatively light, although the effective range was much shorter than the artillery shells, but the distance of these iron sand and lead shots was very far, and both people and horses were splashed with severe pain and minor injuries.

The first few rows of cavalry on the left blocked most of the lead bullets and fell to the ground with dead and wounded, but many cavalry in the back were affected. The mount is crazy, and it directly overturned people from the horse, this is the cavalry unit in the process of impact, the front is killed, and the companions behind can directly step on the corpse and jump over and rush over, but it can be affected to those queues and directly chaotic, that is the real trouble. Some of the horses behind him restrained their speed, but they blocked their companions behind them, and some of them rushed into the chaos, which was even worse. Cavalry on the ground was swept by artillery shotguns. The chaos has just ended. The landed horses ran to the other side without hesitation, and the landed people were overturned from their horses.

As soon as the chaos was brought under control, the cavalry behind them had to rush forward. For this cavalry of the Left Army. The losses from the shelling were indeed heavy. But it's still affordable.

"Rush~ Rush over!" The officer of the left army shouted, directing the cavalry to continue to charge the Northern Ming army front

Woo Woo Woo ~ ~ The Northern Ming Army's fire was intensive and did not stop, this time it was a real harvest of life, and all the cavalry within the range were beaten to the ground. Some knights of the left army were lucky that the horses under their crotches blocked the bullets of the fire guns for him. But as long as he got up from the ground, he would still be hit by the next fire bolt. If he didn't stand up, he would have been trampled to death by his companions behind him

Through the corpses and the artillery, one could see that the musketeers after that had finished firing, and in the order of firing, they took the loaded muskets from their companions behind them, and after firing ten times, they rotated in turn, like an accurate machine, and no one could survive such a dense number of bullets within the range of the musket.

In this battle, the left army lost 7,000 soldiers and horses

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

The quarrel between the two factions within the left army in the left army tent was also very fierce, Zuo Mengeng was temporarily promoted as the commander of the army after Zuo Liangyu's death, but in the face of the contradiction between the two parties, he was powerless to mediate, and watched the two groups of people quarrel inseparably.

Jin Shengheng said: "Now that Emperor Hongde has won most of the world, why should we work hard for the Toad Emperor in Nanjing?" ”

Li Guoying opposed Jin Shengheng and said: "How many brothers have been killed and injured after suffering defeat all the way from Jiujiang? How can the brothers who asked the brothers to vote for the surname Song explain to the dead brothers? ”

Jin Shengheng shouted: "Then let the brothers die, and you can explain?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Li Guoying scolded angrily: "On weekdays, you slapped the horse and won the favor of the handsome, but now that the handsome man has just left, you are going to break up the team?" ”

"you stinking fart!" Jin Shengheng also scolded, "Why didn't the emperor even buy it back then, it was because he had a lot of soldiers." If you run out of soldiers, you just look at it, whether it's south or north, you'll treat us like rotten bast shoes. ”

Inspector Yushi Huang Shu stood up: "Okay, generals, don't quarrel, this official has a proposal, those who are willing to rejoin the Northern Army will join the Northern Army, and those who are willing to join the Southern Army will join the Southern Army, how about it?" ”

Hearing this proposal, Jin Shengheng and Li Guoying were both stunned, and then nodded, since no one can convince anyone, then they have to go their separate ways, otherwise unless they fight first.

Zuo Mengeng saw that Huang Shu had resolved the dispute between the two sides with one word, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as soon as his father died, he was unable to control this team at all, he didn't care whether he voted for Nanming or Beiming, but he agreed with Jin Shengheng's latter paragraph: "Since all uncles and uncles agree with Uncle Huang's proposal, in order to prevent long dreams at night, without further ado, it is still necessary to send a messenger as soon as possible to contact Toucheng matters." Otherwise, when the 300,000 army becomes 30,000, then we won't be able to speak straight! ”

Huang Shu said bravely: "Don't worry, the old man is willing to go to the opposite Northern Army, and he will not let the young marshal suffer, if the young marshal passes, at least he must be a marquis." ”

"Fart, who said that the young marshal was going to take refuge in the north~" Zhang Yingyuan stood up and pointed at Huang Shu's nose and scolded, he, Li Guoying and others were one of the general soldiers who continued to support Nanming.

"You're just farting, what's the matter with you where the young marshal goes?" Jin Shengheng stood up while scolding, and his body blocked in front of Huang Shu to express his support for Huang Shu.

Although it was determined that each voted for its own vote, who could win Zuo Mengeng, the nominal coach, to surrender together was undoubtedly a great achievement, and Zuo Mengeng suddenly became the object of contention between the two sides. It was another dispute, no one refused to give in, Zuo Mengeng was dizzy from the noise, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, his father's body was not cold, and these people had completely regarded themselves as a bargaining chip.

"Scattered and scattered~~ Surrender, we will discuss it tomorrow!" Zuo Mengeng left the generals impatiently and went back to the dormitory by himself

The generals in the tent dispersed in a hurry, and that night, Jin Shengheng, Huang Shu and others who supported the surrender of Song Youliang gathered together, and everyone came to the tent of Yuan Jixian, who had imprisoned the former military department of Jiujiang and the governor of Jiangxi, Huguang, Anqing, Yingtian and other military affairs

After Yuan Jixian was coerced by Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang, Zuo Liangyu did not guard him too tightly at first, but after Yuan Jixian wanted to run away several times, Zuo Liangyu's guard on Yuan Jixian also became strict, but now that Zuo Liangyu is dead, Yuan Jixian has become unconcerned, and after a while, Yuan Jixian was invited by Jin Shengheng's personal soldiers.

"Squire-sama, please take a seat."

A group of generals respectfully gave Yuan Jixian the position at the top, Yuan Jixian couldn't figure it out, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"This ......" Jin Shengheng was a little embarrassed, and the generals also lowered their heads, not daring to look at Yuan Jixian's face, they regarded others as prisoners a few days ago, but now they asked to come to the door, no one would be embarrassed, not to mention that they are likely to fall under Yuan Jixian's rule in the future.

Huang Shu saw that everyone had no intention of explaining to Yuan Jixian, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Lord Shilang, that's the case, the handsome man died of illness recently, you know, we are willing to return to the court after discussion." ”

"Hey~~ Zuo Kunshan just went!" Yuan Jixian wanted to laugh and cry, but finally, he still held back his agitated mood and said: "You are willing to get lost and know your way back, of course this official is very welcome, this official will write a chapter, and rush to the southern capital at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles." ”

"Yingtian? No, no, no! Huang Shu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We want to vote for Beijing." ”

"Beijing?" Yuan Jixian was stunned, "You are King De?" Emperor Hongde? ”

"Exactly~" Jin Shengheng said: "In the past few days, we have been fighting with Emperor Hongde's son-in-law Song Youliang's soldiers and horses. ”

Yuan Jixian said: "It is said that King De is also a clan, and he ascended the throne early in Beijing. But ~~ only his son-in-law can support him~~ and King Fu~ seems to be more orthodox. At this time, Yuan Jixian couldn't tell who was more orthodox in the Northern Ming or the Southern Ming

Huang Shu said with a smile: "Lord Shilang, you may not know that now Emperor Hongde has won three-quarters of the world, and only Jiangnan is still under the rule of Emperor Hongguang. I heard that Emperor Hongde and Song Youliang, the Duke of Anguo, spread benevolence and benevolence, and the people praised each other. And that toad emperor of Yingtian~~~~"

"Huh?" Yuan Jixian looked very displeased when he saw Huang Shu shouting Hongguang Toad Emperor, after all, the emperor is the emperor in the end

Huang Shu explained: "Lord Shilang, am I disrespectful? Who in Ying Tianfu doesn't say that? On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, Emperor Hongguang's face was unhappy, and the ministers thought that he was worried about the unfavorable situation ahead or missed the first emperor, and they kowtowed one by one to ask for guilt. Unexpectedly, this Tianzi Ye said: Zhongqing's family, I haven't had time to think about that, I just see that there are no decent people singing in the pear garden now. If you want to choose more beauties to enrich the harem, you must help me do this sooner! The minister didn't expect him to be worried about this, so he could only look at each other for a long time, and had to disperse in a hurry. Can such a mediocre person be an emperor? ”

"That's it~" Jin Shengheng took over the conversation: "The first emperor died in Beijing, he didn't want to crusade against the liukou, but he was still busy with the beauty pageant. In order to prepare Chinese medicine in the house, he ordered the beggars in Yingtian City to gather to catch toads, and the big book on the lantern was "Ordered to catch toads", so he fell into a veritable nickname Toad Tianzi. This is not something we have created, and if you don't believe it, you can go to Yingtian to inquire in the future. ”

Although Yuan Jixian has been under house arrest for a long time, he has heard of the deeds of Emperor Hongguang to some extent, so he sighed and said: "Okay, the old man will go and persuade you young marshal to go!" ”

Jin Shengheng said: "That's not necessary, we're here to discuss a plan!" ”

"Strategy?" Yuan Jixian was stunned

"That's right!" Huang Shu said: "Li Guoying, Zhang Yingyuan and others still want to help the abuse, and want to hold the young marshal Zuo hostage to continue to fight for the toad emperor. How many more people would have to die? How much more will the people suffer? So I'm going to get rid of it! ”

Yuan Jixian was very satisfied with everyone's determination to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and stroked his long beard a few times before saying: "In this way, let's see if you can advise them and make them change their minds." ”

Thinking of today's dispute, Jin Shengheng said: "My lord, these people are already iron-hearted, and they will definitely not change their minds." ”

"Since that's the case, then there's no need to advise, you should come up with thunder means." Yuan Jixian said decisively, "When you are decided, you will continue to suffer from its chaos!" ”

Everyone looked at each other a few times, they didn't know that Li Guoying was also calculating them over there, and suddenly wanted to swing the sword at his companion who had been friends for more than ten years, and he was a little resistant in his heart, Jin Shengheng gritted his teeth: "Once something happens, immediately protect the young marshal, and then the adults will know the righteousness again, and the young marshal will have nothing to say!" ”

Yuan Jixian nodded and said: "It seems that it is imperative to kill Li Guoying and others, no matter how good your previous friendship with Li Guoying and others was, you can't be allowed to retreat." ”
