Facts have proved the speculation of Guo Zhongxun and Han Shizhong, and there is indeed an ambush. However, this ambush is very different from what they imagined!

Since the capture of nearly half of Shandong's territory, there are more resources, and the gunpowder produced has naturally multiplied.

There were not enough bronze artillery, and the shells did not use so much gunpowder.

It is also a waste to keep this gunpowder, thinking that Xu Guanzhong and they went to Jiangnan alone to fight against so many Song troops.

Shi Jin then called the firearms workshop under Lei Ling Zhen to make a large number of grenades and mines, and asked Li Jun to bring them with them when he went south to help them.

When making a bamboo handle grenade bomb before, Thunder Ling Zhen went through many tests and came to the conclusion that the power of the gunpowder did not meet the requirements of the marshal.

In order to make up for the lack of power, it can only be made up for by quantity.

The weight of the handle grenade is one pound, and the mines are even more terrifying, small mines are loaded with three catties of gunpowder, medium ones are five catties, and large ones even reach ten catties.

Moreover, this kind of mine is not a direct explosion as soon as a person steps on it, someone must light the fuse.

On the way from Haiyan to Hangzhou, Xu Guanzhong asked Zhu Tong to take advantage of the night on the road and lay a large number of mines.

The fuse that detonates the mine is placed in a long bamboo tube, which is buried in the ground.

Two soldiers in the Liangshan Army climbed high trees and watched.

As soon as he saw the Song army stepping into the designated ambush circle, he immediately sent a signal.

When the three Liangshan soldiers under the tree saw it, they hurriedly lit the fuse.

Anyone who faced the power of such a large amount of gunpowder exploding together, his mortal body could not resist it.

As soon as the fuse was burned, an earthquake swirled around the mountain, like an earth dragon turning over, and the whole land was lifted.

Countless fires rose up from the dirt road, and in the fires and flying dust, countless iron beads, iron pieces, and gravel, like thousands of pear blossoms blooming, were sprayed all around at high speed under the impetus of the rapid surfing ground generated by the explosion, covering most of the Song army.

Tens of thousands of iron beads and pieces of iron swept over with a roar, and people turned on their backs when they boarded the road.

Hundreds of Song soldiers were killed on the spot, their bodies were blown up, and before many Song soldiers could react, they were torn apart by the iron beads and iron pieces that were splashed in the explosion, and many people could not even find a good body on their bodies.

A general on horseback was directly pierced through the chest by a piece of iron, pierced through his back, ripped off a fist-sized piece of flesh, and pulled out a large stream of blood.

This unfortunate bastard didn't have time to say a word before he was planted off the horse, and he died!

Thousands of Song soldiers were beaten and spurted blood, and even many of them were directly beaten and flew out a foot or two away, they fell to the ground and convulsed, their mouths spitting broken internal organs, but they couldn't say a word.

More Song soldiers were blown up in their feet, blown off and fell in a pool of blood, rolling and fluttering, screaming miserably, reaching out in vain to cover the wound on their leg, but where could they cover it!

A mine exploded on the ground not far from Han Shizhong.

Although he was not injured by the flying pieces of iron, the war horse he was sitting on was frightened and suddenly took off into the air.

Han Shizhong was unprepared for a while, the whole person was thrown out directly, his forehead slammed into the ground, and then he fainted directly.

Song Bing looked at each other, and his face turned pale. They didn't know what was going on, but they heard a loud bang, followed by an earthquake and a rock, followed by thousands of people falling.

I saw many Song soldiers lying on the ground, covering their bleeding wounds, howling in pain.

The scene of the explosion was a mess, with corpses all over the ground, wounded people all over the ground, bursting bodies, broken limbs, and inhumane.

This sudden horrific tragedy is truly terrifying!

Many Song soldiers were so frightened that they went crazy.

Some screamed and shouted, "Lei Gong is angry! Come on! Lei Gong was angry......"

There are also some people who shouted: "Lord Yama is here, and he is going to take people's lives!" ”

Of the surviving Song soldiers, some of them stood in place with blank eyes.

More are frightened and panicked, panicked, and run away.

Completely unconscious, their weapons were all discarded on the ground, and they only thought that they could escape from here as soon as possible.

In order to observe the enemy army, Guo Zhongxun was in the front army. He was lucky to be far away from the blast points of the mines.

After a series of explosions, although Guo Zhongxun's ears were buzzing and his head was spinning a little, he got through the chaos at the beginning and reacted immediately.

Regardless of whether his subordinates could hear their voices clearly now, he hurriedly roared as loudly as he could:

"Calm down, calm down, don't panic!" Guo Zhongxun shouted wildly, intending to clean up the situation, "Gather here, gather here!" ”

"Whew~!"

Those Song soldiers fell into collapse, and few people did not obey his command at all.

Not long after Guo Zhongxun's order to gather was shouted, he heard a rapid rush sound.

"Kill!"

The thieves who had fled before had now turned around and struck them again.

"And a trick?" Guo Zhongxun only felt that his scalp was numb, and his body trembled slightly.

The Liangshan army, under the leadership of Zhu Tong, rushed towards the Song soldiers quickly.

Suddenly suffering such a terrifying blow and the army's morale was in turmoil, no matter how Guo Zhongxun shouted, the lost Song soldiers could not organize an effective resistance.

The Liangshan army, which was waiting for work, took advantage of the situation to cover up and slaughter the Song army that had collapsed!

"Humph!"

saw that Guo Zhongxun still refused to admit defeat, and wanted to stubbornly resist.

Zhu Tong snorted coldly, and the horse continued to rush forward, and the knife was like wind and rain.

A knife is like a knife, enveloping Guo Zhongxun.

Guo Zhongxun's martial arts are no worse than Zhu Tong, but now he is panicking, and Zhu Tong takes the lead, Guo Zhongxun has fallen into a passive unfavorable situation.

can only parry frequently, and there is no power to fight back.

"Die!" Zhu Tong snorted, and the knife became more and more fierce. Seeing that Guo Zhongxun was in danger. A sharp arrow burst through the air.

The huge danger almost made Zhu Tonghan's "hair" stand upright. Clamping the horse's belly violently, Zhu Tong didn't think much about it and hid directly in the kick and dodged the attack of sharp arrows.

"Hiss"

The sound of the wind breaking by the sharp arrows made Zhu Tong frightened.

If you slow it down, I'm afraid that this arrow will kill you directly.

There are archery masters!

Zhu Tong didn't dare to slack off any longer, and after getting up again, he hurriedly pulled away from Guo Zhongxun for a while, and then observed the direction of the arrow.

Seeing that Zhu Tong dodged one of his arrows, Zhang Jun, who was not far away, snorted coldly, put away his strong bow, and rode his horse to Guo Zhongxun's side.

He hurriedly said: "General, retreat first and then think about him!" ”

Under such circumstances, Guo Zhongxun also knew that there was no chance of winning if he continued to resist, and he might even be wiped out.

"Good!" Guo Zhongxun nodded in shock and roared wildly. "The whole army obeyed the order, followed me, broke through the encirclement of the enemy army, and retreated to the north!"

If Guo Zhongxun wanted to escape, he had to ask Liang Shanjun if he was willing.

Xu Guanzhong saw the Song army retreating towards the north, and he hurriedly shouted: "Leave some soldiers and horses, and the others will chase." Be sure to leave these Song soldiers behind. ”

Although the Song soldiers had already suffered heavy casualties in the explosion just now, only less than 2,000 Song soldiers were left to escape.

But no matter how small it is, it is also a danger, and it is better to be annihilated or annihilated.

However, Zhang Jun, the young general of the Song Army, is not small, and among the leaders who went south, except for Yang Zhi, I am afraid that none of them are his opponents.

It's a pity that Yang Zhi is still recuperating from his injuries, and now there is no one in the Liangshan army who is his opponent.

Liu Jun killed five or six cavalrymen one after another under a series of arrows, so that the Liangshan army did not dare to approach at all.

Under Liu Jun's escort, Guo Zhongxun successfully escaped. However, the 10,000-strong army that could successfully escape with him in the end was less than 200 people.

After chasing for five or six miles, seeing that he couldn't catch up with these Song soldiers, and Xu Guanzhong didn't dare to stay away from Hangzhou City, so as not to have an accident, so Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Guo Zhongxun and the surviving soldiers did not dare to stay at all, ran all the way and fled. It took more than ten miles to take a breath.

They looked back at the place just now, and there was also a kind of panic.

"The dog thief who killed the Heavenly Sword, even with such a weapon that hurts the heavens and harmony, is he not afraid of going to the eighteenth layer of hell after death?" Guo Zhongxun's eyes were suffocated, and he looked up to the sky and scolded hatefully.

The explosion just now left his men with no soldiers, and he cursed the thieves with the vicious curse he could think of.

If Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Tong appeared in front of him, Guo Zhongxun would probably bite them to death.

When he was tired of scolding, he turned to look at the remaining less than two hundred of his subordinates, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Even if he was lucky enough to save his life today, but after losing so many soldiers and horses, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the severe punishment of the imperial court.

After all, the Song Dynasty did not have a tradition of preferential treatment of military generals.

Guo Zhongxun couldn't help it for a while, and cried loudly. "If I can't, God will kill me!"

Guo Zhongxun suddenly raised the sword in his hand and slashed it towards his neck, blood spurted out like a spring, and his body fell from his horse like a mountain, quickly staining the earth red. Zhang Jun didn't even have time to shout, when he saw Guo Zhongxun kill himself.

He suddenly wanted to scold, Lao Tzu worked hard to get you out, and you died like this! What should I do? Who will bear this great sin of losing soldiers and losing generals?

With Guo Zhongxun here, who cares about his own young general. But now that Guo Zhongxun is dead, whether it is the court or Yang Jian, maybe in a fit of anger, he will blame himself for his sins.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Jun desperately wanted to protect Guo Zhongxun and escape, but he didn't expect Guo Zhongxun to escape, and finally killed himself.

This gave Zhang Jun a headache.

Zhang Jun looked around and saw that there were just some pawns around him, and it turned out to be Cheng Xinlang, the military attache with the lowest grade, and his official position was the largest.

Now these Song soldiers are looking at Li Jun and want him to come up with an idea.

Now Zhang Jun has no idea, he shouted: "Go, follow me to Yuling Pass, find Liu Yanqing and General Liu!" ”

……

Liang Shanjun and his group returned to Hangzhou City.

In the main hall of the mansion, everyone in Liangshan was very excited. 5,000 soldiers and horses defeated the Song army, and their own casualties were less than a few dozen, but they killed more than 6,000 Song soldiers and captured more than 1,000 people.

This is not a defeat of the outnumbered like the defeat of Chen Songjun, but a small number of people, such an easy victory, which made the Liangshan army excited.

Zhou Tong shouted excitedly: "Hahaha, we are only 8,000 soldiers and horses, but we have defeated the Song soldiers one after another, and now we have defeated the Song soldiers and conquered Hangzhou City." Let's ask who in the world is the opponent of our army. If you want me to say, let's just attack Tokyo directly and slaughter the dog emperor. Then the eldest brother became the emperor, Xu Junshi became the prime minister, and we all became generals. Isn't it beautiful! ”

Li Zhong smiled and said, "I said Brother Zhou Tong, what's wrong." So if you want to be a general, is your daughter-in-law worried? ”

Zhou Tong cut it first and then played it, made Liu Qin's belly bigger, was chased and killed by Liu Taigong with a cane, and then made a lot of promises, and then married him, which is basically something that the whole Liangshan knows.

Now many brothers make fun of him from time to time about it.

Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Tong, and Yang Zhi, who wrapped his arm in a white cloth, walked into the main hall together, heard the laughter in the hall, and said with a smile: "What are the generals talking about?" So happy? ”

Zhou Tong hurriedly said, "Nothing? It's just that the mines sent by Marshal Liao are very powerful. With such a divine weapon, our army is not afraid of the Song army at all! Military division, we don't have to unite with the Fang La army at all to resist the Song army. Our army alone can easily defeat the Song army! ”

Hearing Zhou Tong talk about landmines, Xu Guanzhong also sighed.

This mine is truly powerful!

It's just too expensive!

Today's explosion took two boatloads of mines and tens of thousands of pounds of gunpowder to achieve such a result.

Now that the Liangshan Army has such magnanimity, it is still the Liangshan Army that occupies nearly half of Shandong in order to make so much gunpowder.

When I used to nest in Liangshan, it was a careful calculation.

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "Although our army has won a big victory this time, we cannot be arrogant. Not to mention that this mine has great limitations, except that it must be planted in advance so that the enemy cannot be discovered, this mine can only be used for defense, but it is much worse for offense. In addition, it was the first time that the Song army suffered this kind of attack, so it would underestimate the enemy's carelessness and suffer heavy losses. After today, Song Jun will inevitably be vigilant. The Song army has become vigilant, and in the future, if it is easy to defeat the Song army with mines like today, I am afraid that it will be impossible. What's more, in order to defeat the Song army this time, half of the firearms sent by the marshal were used. The Song army in Jiangnan still has more than 100,000, and they can't fight all the way through with firearms. Generals, you must not be arrogant just because you have firearms. If we want to stick to Hangzhou City, we have to rely on ourselves after all! ”

Yang Zhi, Zhu Tong and other generals hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "Don't worry, the last general will definitely keep it in mind!" ”

Li Zhong said: "Military division, now there is no Song army near Hangzhou City, why don't we conquer Jiaxing, Haiyan and other counties, expand our army's territory, and have a place to return to help!" ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said: "No, there are not many soldiers and horses going south now, and after capturing those county seats, we need to send a lot of soldiers and horses to garrison, which will only disperse our already small forces, and the gains outweigh the losses." Besides, those cities have been conquered by our army before, and all the places that should be looted have been looted. It doesn't make much sense to capture it again. On the contrary, this Hangzhou City, although it has been badly damaged by Fang Lajun and Song Jun, there is still something worth looting! Li Zhong, wait a minute, lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to follow me to visit the bald donkeys in Lingyin Temple, no, it's those monks! ”

When Li Zhong heard the military advisor Xu Guanzhong say that he was going to visit Lingyin Temple, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It seems that you can make another windfall!
