Chapter 158: Chasing and Defeating Kou
Liu Fang was also a little stunned at this time, he didn't expect that this thief entrenched in the Stone Buddha Temple could actually create such a killing weapon, which made them suffer a loss, and he was so angry that he almost couldn't help but scold, but when he thought that he was the main general here, he couldn't mess up with himself first.
So he had to order the soldiers and horses to temporarily retreat a certain distance, reorganize the team, and dare not squeeze under the gable wall of the temple as just now, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Come on, bring up the tiger squat cannon under the mountain, set up a cannon for me to open the temple gate, and then attack it, and order the archers to come forward, whoever dares to show his head will shoot him to death!" It's really damnable! When we attack the temple, we will kill them and leave no chickens and dogs! ”
Liu Fang's headquarters also has a tiger squat cannon, which is already a standard weapon of the official army, so it was naturally brought with the army, but just now because of the light enemy, it did not come in handy, but after suffering a big loss at this time, Liu Fang remembered that he still had this thing useless, so he immediately sent someone down to carry the tiger squat cannon up.
Not long after, a group of officers and soldiers rushed up with two tiger squat cannons, and according to Liu Fang's instructions, they were directly placed at a position thirty steps away from the mountain gate.
Feng Gouzi stretched out his head to look outside, and immediately a few arrows were shot at him, after he glanced at the situation outside, he immediately shrank down the gable, jumped off the low ladder, ran to Xiao Tianjian, and whispered to Xiao Tianjian: "Hold the plate, the officers and soldiers have brought the cannon up, I'm afraid this mountain gate can't withstand two cannons, shouldn't we do it?" ”
Xiao Tianjian looked up at the sky slightly, noon had passed at this time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, don't play with them!" Everyone, prepare! Give them some color! ”
Because they were going to take the method of assault, they did not let the trumpeter blow the trumpet and give the order, and several officers went down separately, and lowered their voices to convey the order, and the soldiers in the monastery, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately straightened their waists again, bowed their heads and checked the armor and weapons on their bodies, and prepared to attack.
And the soldiers who had been playing with Feng Gouzi just now also immediately withdrew from the gable and grabbed a few thick ropes fixed to the broken gable.
Outside the temple gate at this time, there were suddenly two continuous roars, and then I saw that the door panel on the temple door shook violently, and two huge holes appeared on the door panel, after all, the temple door was broken, where could it withstand the bombardment of the tiger squatting cannon! Even if the latch and wooden pole of the top gate were broken, the temple gate collapsed.
I only heard a cheer from the officials, soldiers, and villagers outside the temple, and then shouted to kill the heavens, and rushed towards the temple gate.
Xiao Tianjian slowly raised his hand and slammed it down.
The dozens of soldiers dragging the rope immediately shouted in unison, and pulled the rope backwards with all their strength.
I saw a section of the gable wall of the temple, which was already dilapidated, immediately collapsed inward with a bang under their dragging, and collapsed neatly in the temple, raising a cloud of dust.
The officers and soldiers and the villagers were about to enter the temple from the temple gate, when they suddenly saw a section of the gable wall collapsing, and immediately there was a cheer, and they immediately divided their troops and rushed towards the collapsed gable, wanting to rush directly into the temple from here, but they did not see the situation in the temple through the dust raised.
Just waved knives and guns and squeezed to the collapsed gable, at this time the dust slowly fell, and the officers and soldiers who rushed in front gradually saw the situation in the temple, and the result was that the gang was dumbfounded on the spot and hurriedly stopped.
In the open space in the middle of the temple facing this collapsed gable, several black tiger squat cannons lined up, and the muzzles of the black holes were facing the collapsed gable, while the two furlong machines equipped with new wheel frames on the side were only facing the temple gate, and several shield-wielding soldiers were neatly standing on both sides of each cannon, and in the center of them, stood an officer wearing iron armor and a few wisps of rat whiskers, holding a small flag in his hand.
When he saw a large number of officers and soldiers pouring into the temple gate and the broken wall, the iron-clad officer showed a smug smile on his face, and then waved the small flag in his hand with all his might, and shouted: "Let ...... go"
One by one, the soldiers holding torches immediately pressed the torches in their hands on the fire doors of each cannon, and a series of roars sounded in the temple......
Liu Fang rushed down the mountain like a lost dog with some remnants of the defeated generals, after escaping from the official road, some people panicked, ran to both sides, in the dilapidated stone Buddha temple behind them, at this time hundreds of murderous people and horses were pouring out, in front of them, a standard-bearer raised a red Xingtian army flag, like a tide towards the mountain to kill, under their feet fell more than a hundred corpses of officers and soldiers and village bravery, more wounded people fell in a pool of blood whining and wailing, There were also some frightened officers and soldiers who fell to their knees directly and kowtowed to beg for surrender.
Liu Fang was frightened at this time, he was behind the formation just now, and saw with his own eyes the officers and soldiers and villagers who poured into the mountain temple were cut to the ground like cutting rice in a series of cannons, he didn't realize what was going on at that time, until a row of guns rang out in the mountain temple, and after a cloud of gunpowder smoke, he realized that the momentum was wrong, they may have fallen into a trap, but before he could gather the generals, he was wrapped in the crowd by the frightened routs and fled.
A group of soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army shouted what shook the sky and poured out of the mountain temple, and rushed straight to the defeated officers and soldiers, like chopping melons and vegetables, killing the people who fell behind or stabbing to death on the ground outside the temple.
It was only at this time that Liu Fang completely figured out what was going on, from beginning to end this was a trap, there was a Xingtian Army's soldiers and horses had actually been hiding in this dilapidated Stone Buddha Temple, those so-called escaped thieves, as well as the resisting thieves were all bait to lure them into the bait, in fact, the Xingtian Army had been waiting here for them to attack the mountain temple, just when they were stupidly happy for a moment when they thought they had won the battle, they burst out and caught them off guard.
He didn't expect that such a pole as Xingtianjun would have such fierce firepower, although he didn't see how many artillery pieces there were in the temple, but his ears were not deaf, he heard at least seven or eight cannon sounds, and saw his soldiers being cut to the ground by other people's cannons like mowing grass.
He didn't even figure out how many people the enemy had ambushed here, but in short, he had been completely defeated, so defeated that there was no room for redemption, he couldn't do anything except flee, his war horse was at the foot of the mountain, and a few personal soldiers rushed to the front, splitting a few rout soldiers who tried to snatch the horse and escape, so he protected Liu Fang and grabbed the war horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the way he came.
A puff of wolf smoke rose from the Stone Buddha Temple, and soon behind the western hillside, dozens of war horses rushed out, roaring towards this side.
Some of the routs who fled to the west in a panic were hit head-on by them, and they immediately killed a man on his back and his body on the road, and behind these horse teams, he soon followed another pacesetter, and followed the horse team to run quickly, killing and rushing, and the sound of shouting and killing sounded everywhere in this area, and the officers and soldiers who followed the rout covered up and killed.
Yang Luting, who was rushing in the direction of the Stone Buddha Temple with a large group of soldiers and horses, suddenly heard a series of roars in the distance ahead, and his face changed several times one after another, and immediately ordered: "The whole army stops!" Deployed! Quickly arm! ”
The officers and soldiers who were still hurrying on the road, as well as the villagers, also heard the roar of a series of explosions coming from the front, and their expressions were different, and they didn't know what was happening in front of them, so they hurriedly stopped, spread out on both sides of the official road, and began to set up things such as rejecting horses, and at the same time transferred a team of officers and soldiers to block the official road.
"Go and find out what's going on ahead quickly, and come back immediately to report to me!" A strong sense of uneasiness rose in Yang Luting's heart.
He didn't dare to say that he was good at battle, but he had a little experience, listening to this series of roars, he guessed that it was definitely not something that Liu Fang's department he sent could have, and the army that could have such firepower must be quite not weak, as the sentinel who escaped back said, if the Stone Buddha Temple was just a small pole, it should be absolutely impossible to have such strength, he had begun to realize that the Stone Buddha Temple was not going to have a big incident, what would it be? Snare! There is an ambush ahead! This was the first thought that flashed through Yang Luting's mind.
Soon, the officers and soldiers in the distance saw a wolf smoke rising in the sky above the direction of the Stone Buddha Temple, Yang Luting was even more sure of his thoughts, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses under his command to prepare for the battle.
That is, in less than a quarter of an hour, a group of people and horses appeared at the end of the official road, rushing towards this side quickly, and when they approached, the soldiers in front exclaimed: "It's Liu Qianzong!" It's Mr. Liu Qian who brought people back! ”
Liu Fang was like a lost dog, with a part of the remnants of the defeated generals, like chasing ducks, he was chased by the Xingtian Army behind, and he didn't even dare to stop and take a breath, so he escaped all the way back from the Shifo Temple, and the Xingtian Army chased very closely, but he was not in a hurry to kill these fleeing remnants of the defeated generals, just hung behind their backs and pressed step by step, not allowing them to have a chance to breathe.
Liu Fang fled back with less than 200 remnants of the defeated generals, and after seeing the main force of the army from a distance, he was slightly relieved, but at this time, a series of screams sounded behind him, and he turned his head to see that he was frightened.
"Get out of the way, block the pursuers behind, and help! Get out of the way, get out of the way......" Liu Fang and the remnants of the defeated generals who followed him shouted wildly and rushed to his own formation along the official road, at this time he had long forgotten what the rules of the battlefield army that defeated soldiers were not allowed to impact their own formation, and he actually took these remnants of the defeated generals and crashed headlong into his own defense line.
"Stop! Liu Qian always stops! If you don't stop, Lao Tzu is going to release arrows! Yang has an order not to attack this formation! Stop it! …… Damn, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless! Shoot the arrows! Among the officers and soldiers standing at the front of the fortification, an officer in armor saw that Liu Fang and his remnants of the defeated generals were about to rush head-on to his defense line, and he was so anxious that he began to shout loudly, but the more he shouted, the faster Liu Fang ran with the rout, and he didn't care about any military regulations or military regulations.
In a hurry, he was afraid that Liu Fang's rout would disrupt his defensive line, so he finally gave the order to release the arrows.
Those archers also looked frightened, and shouted for Liu Fang and their rout to stop, but Liu Fang was chased by the Xingtian Army behind him and didn't dare to stop for half a step, where could he stand still!
The result is that the archers who blocked the road were really unbearable, everyone understood that once they were knocked into their line by these routs, what would be the consequences, when they heard their officers' orders to release arrows, these archers in the front row immediately took arrows and opened their bows, and shot towards the group of rout led by Liu Fang together, and at the same time, the fire guns on both wings also opened fire one after another, and for a while, the fire guns, bird guns, and three-eyed guns rang out together, spitting out puffs of gunsmoke.
"Don't let go of the arrows! Let me pass...... Ah......" Liu Fang actually heard the shouts of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, but he also had a stomach full of bitter water in his stomach, he wanted to stop or bypass, but the terrain here is really unfortunate, both sides of the official road are bare steep slopes, he can't get around at all, he can only be driven forward by the pursuers behind, and he can't stop if he wants to, when he sees the archers on the opposite side raising his arms and stretching his bows, he screamed hysterically, but before the words fell, a rain of arrows split the surface, followed by a series of bullets, Even though he was hit by three arrows and two bullets, and although he was covered with fish scale armor, he still couldn't save his life, and he fell from his horse.
Liu Fang fell heavily on the ground, and the soldiers around him fell to his side one after another, he gasped and covered the wounds on his body, exhaled with difficulty, and scolded in his mouth: "Damn! …… ...... surnamed Zhang Father...... Lao Tzu doesn't ...... ghosts" Before he finished speaking, a big foot stepped heavily on his chest, and he ran over with his last breath, and suddenly his head was crooked, and he died in this barren mountain and wilderness.
Although the officer surnamed Zhang was also decisive, and gave the order to release arrows to intercept the rout from attacking his defense line, He Nai's rout soldiers had no way to escape, so they could only brave the rain of arrows and rush over, although they also shot a lot of routs, but then the remaining rout soldiers still crashed into their defense line, and immediately rushed the front line of defense to pieces, and the originally neat defense line suddenly sank, and as if a stone was thrown on the water, this chaos rippled away, and quickly spread into the back.
"Brothers, kill!" Luo Lisa chased the girl the tightest, seeing that the rout in front of him had crashed into the enemy's defense line, without the slightest hesitation, he raised the bloody broadsword in his hand to the sky, and shouted at the soldiers of the Xingtian Army who followed him, and then followed those routs into the official army.
And a large number of soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army followed closely behind, and with the aftermath of the victory in the first battle, they crashed into it together......
