Chapter 102 Closing the Net Six
The two dogs swam towards the battleship in the river. He wants to live, he wants to live. Only when you are alive will there be a day when you will reunite with Wanniang, and you will hold Xin'er in your arms again.
How about the Rogues? And what about the officers and soldiers? It's all a cannibalistic organization anyway. The second dog has no loyalty to Liukou.
If it weren't for the passage of the rogues, how could his good family fall apart in an instant? How can your comfortable and stable life become precarious and wandering around?
………………
The rogue on the shore saw that the two dogs were rescued by the small sampan put down by the official army, and they were all a little strange.
The stalwarts of the rogue looked worried. The rogues are in a desperate situation, and if the officers and soldiers are surrendered, it is believed that most of the rogues will raise the white flag.
The bottom of the rogue center thought deeply and didn't see anything unusual, the simple rogue of the city government was happy, and he wished that he could swim himself, and immediately swam to the boat of the official army, like two dogs, there was a yellow and clear roast duck to eat.
Zhang Xianzhong had some desperation. If the official army attacks immediately, the Liukou still has a trace of combat effectiveness, and he can still fight against the water, and maybe he can stage the miracle of the Marquis of Huaiyin.
However, the officers and troops only lined up a naval division on the Zhuan River, but did not launch any attacks, and the morale of the Liukou was almost completely exhausted by the passage of time.
Zhu Shunming's army's use and grasp of time, space, and people's hearts made Zhang Xianzhong even more frustrated.
The number of officers and soldiers was small, but they were able to rely on the rogue's eagerness to retreat, and constantly attacked and harassed, causing a lot of casualties to the rogue, slowing down the pace of the rogue's retreat, and hitting the rogue's morale, which was not high in the first place.
The offensive of the officers and troops was not impatient either. The attacks of the officers and soldiers were piecemeal, constantly bleeding the rogue team, stripping the rogue team to the point that the flesh and skin were splattered and blood flowed.
The use of terrain by the officers and soldiers is even more incomparable. Two simple rivers, one exhausted the last bit of supplies for the rogue, and the other blocked the way forward for the rogue, completely cutting off the hope of the rogue's return.
What made Zhang Xianzhong even more desperate was that the main owner, Zhu Shunming, never appeared. Zhang Xianzhong knew that Zhu Shunming had been following behind the Liukou team, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow from the Liukou.
But Zhu Shunming did not appear for a long time, and the big stone in Zhang Xianzhong's heart could not land for a long time.
………………
When Zhu Shunming arrived at Xinqiao Town, the Liukou had just undergone a major purge.
The second dog swam to the boat of the officials and soldiers in the river, and was treated favorably by the officials and soldiers, which made more rogues begin to be moved.
Every day, there were rogues who took advantage of the fishing opportunity to swim to the center of the river and surrender to the official army.
Zhang Xianzhong deliberately ordered that the Liukou should not go down to the river to fish, but the Liukou's food would be a problem; If you don't stop it, the morale of the Rogues will disappear as the number of Rogues flees increases.
In the end, Zhang Xianzhong began to purge the rogues, cleaning out the undetermined rogues and throwing them into the water. He Jiuyi and other backbones were dispatched to personally supervise the fishing operations of the rogues, and resolutely shoot the rogues who dared to swim to the center of the river. After some killings, the arrogance of the rogue surrender faction was temporarily suppressed.
When Zhu Shunming arrived in Daoqiao Town, the Great Purge of the Liukou had just been completed. Although the Great Purge put the Liukou people in danger, Zhang Xianzhong temporarily unified his thinking and was determined to fight with the official army.
Zhu Shunming only had Peng Canglang's sailors and Zhang Pan's ghost around him, less than 3,000 people.
Both teams have a fast marching style of fighting, are not heavily armed, and are not very good at attacking fortifications.
But in the face of the rogue in front of him, Zhu Shunming decided to use them to hone the ability of the two teams to face the enemy head-on.
The battlefield is ever-changing, and the enemy will always find a flaw in his army. If your own rapid reaction army only has speed but no combat capability, what is the use of running fast?
………………
The "Zhu" flag was raised high, Zhu Shunming was dressed in military uniform, and the soldiers around him were all ready to charge. The final battle with Zhang Xianzhong is about to begin.
There are only 15,000 people left in Zhang Xianzhong's army, and the morale is still there, but the physical strength is insufficient.
Although Zhang Xianzhong's bloody purge successfully stopped the spread of the idea of surrender among the exiles, Zhang Xianzhong himself did not know how many people would be dissatisfied and how many people would defect.
Zhang Xianzhong commanded the Liukou to begin the formation.
Although the Liukou built a camp, since the official army wanted a decisive battle, Zhang Xianzhong certainly couldn't ask for it. If the official army besieges and does not attack, wait a few more days, and the rogues themselves will be dispersed due to lack of food.
Zhu Shunming couldn't help but sigh and sigh at the trembling and skinny rogues trying to put on a posture, watching the rogue officers and soldiers constantly cheering up the soldiers under them, and watching the banner of the word "Zhang" fluttering in the wind and Zhang Xianzhong standing under the banner like a trapped tiger, Zhu Shunming couldn't help but sigh, as tenacious as Zhang Xianzhong, worthy of being a hero alongside Li Zicheng in history.
The artillery of the officers and soldiers was in the front, and the infantry was in the rear, slowly advancing. When they came within range of the Franc cannons, the officers and troops stopped attacking, launched artillery formations, and immediately began to open fire.
Shells roared into the camp of the rogues, plowing ravines through the dense camp of the rogues.
Zhang Xianzhong waved his banner, and the rogue suddenly shouted and charged forward in the face of artillery fire, completely ignoring casualties.
As soon as the three-wheeled guns of the Franc machine gun were fired, the rogues had already rushed to the position and began to engage with the officers and soldiers in close combat.
The lightweight weapons of the Marine Corps and the Ghost are relative to regular army units such as Liu Wenxiu. For the Liukou, the weapons of the officers and soldiers in front of him are better than their own weapons.
The officers and soldiers swung out their swords, and the rogues, whether they were wooden sticks and spears or steel knives, were all cut in two, completely unable to resist, not to mention the flesh and blood of the rogues who were completely unprotected.
On the other hand, the officers and soldiers are all in the same color of plate armor, and only two eyes are exposed. The weapons of the rogues were drawn on the officers and soldiers, and apart from the sound and sparks, they did not do much harm to the officers and soldiers at all.
Zhu Shunming wielded a specially made and lengthened mace, like a fierce god, step by step, smashing all the rogues who appeared in front of him into pulp.
Zhu Shunming has a grudge against Zhang Xianzhong. Zhang Xianzhong's invasion of Huguang caused Zhu Shunming to crawl out of Gentle Township in a hurry and take office quickly.
Zhu Shunming held a big stick, thinking that if Zhang Xianzhong was beaten to death with a stick, how would history change? Without Zhang Xianzhong's response, would Li Zicheng still be in charge of Beijing?
………………
Zhu Shunming held a big stick in his hand, and hammered and killed the rogue like a fierce god, and there was no one in the rogue who was in harmony, and the morale that was originally forcibly promoted by Zhang Xianzhong fell to the bottom.
In addition to Zhu Shunming's killing machine, the rest of the well-equipped officers and soldiers also cut melons and vegetables to torture and kill the rogues.
The rogue team could not arch the position of the official army at all, but the official army slowly and firmly advanced towards the position of the rogue bandit, advancing all the way and bloody all the way, slashing the morale of the rogue into the valley one by one.
Zhang Xianzhong fell into despair. Zhu Shunming's army is even more fierce than Cao Wenzhao's army! It turned out that ferocity was the basic style of Zhu Shunming's army.
Looking at Zhu Shunming, who is as fierce as an ancient beast, you can know that there can be no good and kind people in his army.
Zhang Xianzhong tidied up his robe, held a long knife in his hand, and prepared to fight to the end. Even if you die, you will die on the battlefield.
"Zhu Laojiu......" The captain of the pro-soldier next to him exclaimed: "It's Zhu Laojiu, it's really Zhu Laojiu...... How did he become an official soldier......"
"You know?"
The captain of the personal soldiers followed Zhang Xianzhong for several years, and followed Zhang Xianzhong from Shaanxi. How did he get to know the general soldier of Huguang?
