Chapter 51: Saving Private Cui Dazhuang

Outside the city of Changyi.

Kong Youde asked angrily, "Have you found out?" Who is the one who guards Chang-eup? Since he landed, he passed through more than 30 prefectures and counties, all of which looked like empty cities, until he pursued to Changyi, only to learn that the people of Denglai Erfu had been relocated, he hurriedly led the army to pursue, but was blocked outside the city of Changyi.

"Lord Wang, the little one has made it clear, the one guarding this Changyi is the commander of the Jinyi Guards beside Chongzhen, named Cui Dazhuang."

"Cui Dazhuang? How is it that this king has never heard of this man. ”

"Lord Wang, this person is only in his twenties, he is a master of the Realm of Stars, and he has only been here for half a month, and he has pacified all the thieves in the Second Mansion of Denglai, and his strength cannot be underestimated!"

"Hmph, dare to stand in the way of this king, this king will let him die without a place to be buried! Go, drag up the king's red-coated cannon! ”

At this time, Changyi City was already full of wolf smoke and the sound of cannons was rumbling. Under the continuous bombardment of the red-coated cannons, the north gate of the city finally couldn't hold on and was blown down, and a big gap appeared.

One of his subordinates saw that Changyi City was about to be breached, and said anxiously: "Lord Cui, hurry up and retreat, if you don't withdraw, it will be too late." ”

Cui Dazhuang stood on the city tower, looked at the sky, and said in his heart: "Confucius and Meng have only been gone for three days, if I retreat at this time, I am afraid that they will soon be caught up." On that day, he learned the news of Kong Youde's crossing of the sea from the fishermen, and asked Wang Jian for help on the one hand, and asked Confucius Shimeng to evacuate quickly with 600,000 people, and he led 3,000 people to break the queen.

Sure enough, in the morning two days ago, Kong Youde chased after him, and he ordered the army to enter the city, wanting to entangle Kong Youde by relying on Changyi City. But it was only defended for two days, and the north gate was under the fierce bombardment of Kong Youde's artillery, and it seemed that it would not be able to defend it. Cui Dazhuang sighed, and took more than 300 soldiers to the north gate to support.

Wang Jian led his musket battalion and marched quickly for a day and a night, and finally arrived at a small town called Gudidian, where he encountered countless refugees.

Wang Jian ordered someone to catch a refugee and asked, "Do you know where General Cui is?" ”

When the refugee saw that it was an officer and soldier who had come, he thought that he had been saved, and replied: "Yesterday there was another group of thieves, and the military advisor and the people are still behind." ”

Wang Jian felt a little relieved, if something happened to Cui Dazhuang, he really couldn't explain it to Cui Jian. He left two hundred men to help the people cross the white waves, and he himself led the people eastward.

After walking for more than ten miles, he heard the sound of fighting in front of him, and the scout said: "Your Majesty, it seems that it is our Jinyi Guard, and it seems that it is being besieged by a small group of rebels. ”

Soon both sides of the fight were surrounded by firearms battalions.

Wang Jian rolled up a loudspeaker and shouted: "The great tomorrow is here!" You are already surrounded, put down your weapons and lie on the ground, or you will be killed! ”

As soon as Confucius Meng heard that the emperor was coming, he quickly ordered to stop the attack and lay on the ground, and many rebels heard that Emperor Chongzhen personally led the troops, and when they saw that they were surrounded again, they all learned from the brocade guards and obediently lay on the ground.

There were dozens of rebels who still wanted to resist, Li Shi gave an order, only to hear a few bangs, they all fell, and this time the rebels were more honest.

"Confucius Master Meng, why are you, Cui Dazhuang?!" Wang Jian thought that the general Cui in the mouth of the refugees was Cui Dazhuang, and when he saw that it was Confucius Shimeng, he hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, Cui Dutong is still in Changyi City, and he ordered Weichen to escort the people to leave first."

Wang Jian said secretly: "Not good! Counting the days, Cui Dazhuang has been surrounded for three days, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious! He instructed Confucius Shimeng to escort the more than 500 people who surrendered on the ground and retreat first.

Wang Jian led Li Shi and them, abandoned their horses, and ran to Changyi City on foot.

Dozens of miles away, I heard the rumbling of cannons in Changyi City, and the sound of killing was everywhere.

Wang Jian stood on the top of a mountain, looking from afar, the city gate had been breached, and Cui Dazhuang's life and death were uncertain. He looked at the red-clothed cannons in Kong Youde's camp that were still bombarding the city tower in the distance, and he was furious.

"Zhou Zhiguo, you fuck it, pull Lao Tzu's cannon dragon up." Wang Jian was so angry that he forgot to say "I".

Although the cannon dragon is powerful, it is too cumbersome after all, except for Wang Jian's yellow carriage, it is difficult to pull ordinary cars, so Wang Jian only brought one over.

And this week, Zhiguo is very talented in firing artillery, he is a good hand at firing artillery, the cannon is fast and accurate, and Wang Jian also temporarily brought him over.

Zhou Zhiguo heard the emperor's order, shrunk his neck and didn't know what to do: the bubble dragon was on the roof of the yellow carriage, and there were two maidens in the carriage.

"Your Majesty, this..."

Wang Jian saw that the red-clothed cannon was still being released, and he was so anxious that he kicked Zhou Zhiguo: "What the hell are you rubbing, come on, get him up for me!" ”

Hearing only a "bang", the cannon dragon let out a roar, and the large lead ball with flames accurately hit a red-coated cannon, and the cannon body was also blown up, falling and hitting a cannon next to it.

"Okay, well done, put it again, put it again!" Wang Jian saw that he had killed two red-clothed cannons with one shot, and said excitedly.

When Zhou Zhiguo heard the emperor's praise, he worked even harder, and with a few "bang-bang" cannons, he destroyed all the dozens of red-coated cannons on the opposite side.

Kong Youde got the report, and when he saw that the artillery full of his own blood was destroyed, he rushed out of the camp and said angrily: "Where is the artillery? ”

The gunner said: "Lord Wang, it seems to be from the opposite hill!" ”

Kong Youde whipped the gunner fiercely with the whip in his hand and said, "Then you don't fucking fight back?!" ”

The gunner was also a veteran, and he looked aggrieved: "Lord Wang, listen to the voice, the cannon should be five miles away, and the red-clothed cannon is really out of reach!" There is another sentence he didn't say, that is: even if you can reach it, you may not be able to hit.

Wang Jian saw that Kong Youde's red-clothed cannons were blown up into the sky, and clapped his hands excitedly: "Go on, go on!" See that big tent? Boom at that big tent! ”

But Wang Jian waited for a long time, but there was no cannon sound, and when he looked back, he didn't know when, Zhou Zhiguo had already got off the yellow carriage and came to Wang Jian's side.

Wang Jian was so angry that he kicked Zhou Zhiguo again: "What the hell are you going to do when you come down, don't you go up and fire the cannon quickly!" ”

Zhou Zhiguo said with a look of grievance: "Your Majesty, it's gone..."

"What's missing?"

"The shells are gone."

It turned out that Wang Jian not only brought a bubble dragon, but also only more than 20 shells.

"You... Won't you fucking take it easy? Who told you to finish the fight in one go, what if the enemy army rushes up? ”

Zhou Zhiguo's face was aggrieved: "Your Majesty, it was you who said that you fought well, hit accurately, and let the ministers not stop." ”

Wang Jian's old face darkened, kicked him and said, "Dare to speak out if you do something wrong!" ”

Kong Youde saw that more than a dozen of his beloved red-clothed cannons were destroyed, and he was so angry that he led people to kill Wang Jian on the hill where he was.

Seeing this, Wang Jian ordered Zu Dabi to hold his position, attract Kong Youde's firepower, and take Li Shi and more than 100 people to quietly spare Kong Youde and enter the city.

After entering the city, he heard that only the north gate had not been breached, so Wang Jian hurriedly led people towards the north gate.

At this time, the north gate was also in chaos, and only the small courtyard where the original city guards next to the city gate were resting came from the sound of clanging fights. Wang Jian's heart was relieved, it should be in time.

A few shots knocked down several rebels who were still climbing the courtyard wall, and Wang Jian led people over the wall and jumped into the courtyard. In the narrow aisle, Cui Ren and Cui Yi were guarding there, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying next to them, they were back to back, one was ten, and one was guarding one side, covered in blood, like two blood gourds.

Without saying a word, Li Er rushed up and killed two rebels who were besieging them, and the Cui brothers were about to fight back, but Wang Jian hurriedly drank them.

"Your Majesty?!" The Cui brothers were pleasantly surprised.

"Where's your eldest brother?" Wang Jian hurriedly asked.

"Big brother is still in the house!"

Wang Jian felt a little relieved when he heard this, and he was good to be alive. He ordered Li Shi to take someone to guard the hospital, and he followed the Cui brothers into the house.

Cui Dazhuang was lying on the ground, the clothes on his chest seemed to be burned, and there was an arrow stuck in his thigh, but fortunately it was not a fatal injury. In order to prevent Kong Youde's artillery from bombarding the city gate, he personally took people there, but unfortunately he was hit by artillery fire and became what he is now.

"Can you still move?" Wang Jian asked.

Seeing Cui Dazhuang nodded, he knew that now was not the time to speak, so he asked the Cui brothers to help Cui Dazhuang up, and the group quickly broke out of the encirclement and withdrew towards the west gate.

But as I walked, I found that Li'er was gone.

"This stupid girl!" Wang Jian cursed, and had to lead people back the same way. Just walked a few steps, and saw Li'er rushing left and right in the rebels alone, and he was very happy to kill.

Wang Jian fanned out the musket camp and prepared for defense, and said loudly: "Hey, stupid girl, come back quickly!" ”

But Li'er didn't seem to hear it, so she didn't pay attention to Wang Jian at all, and continued to slash and kill. She still remembers what Wang Jian said: Superior martial arts can only be practiced through life-and-death battles on the battlefield. It's not at your limit yet, how can you retreat?

Wang Jian knew what Li Er was thinking at the moment, and he had to regret dying.

Seeing that more and more judges were coming around him, he had to raise the gold-inlaid luxury diamond version of the young thief love in his hand and said, "Haven't you always wanted a young thief love?" Come back quickly, I'll give you what I have in my hand! ”

Although Li'er is a little reckless, she is not stupid, she also knows that her true qi is also exhausted, so she has always wanted a young thief to love self-defense, but this weapon is only equipped with a total of 500 horses, and her own infantry battalion is not enough, how can she have her share?

As soon as she heard that Wang Jian gave her the young thief love in her hand, the short sword in her hand stabbed several rebels in a row, and returned to Wang Jian's side with a leap.

"Bring it!" She spread her hands out.

Wang Jian reluctantly gave her the luxurious version of the young thief in his hand, and said, "I don't know if I owe you in my previous life." ”

Li Er couldn't put it down and played with the new weapon in her hand, she got the benefit, and she didn't appreciate it, and said viciously: "The faint king deserves to die!" Also, don't call me a stupid girl! ”

Soon, Wang Jian and others broke through the siege and came to the West Gate.
