Chapter 9: The Battle of Guilin

Zhu Zhijian counted the casualties after the war, there were nearly 2,000 people less, there were less than 800 corpses of the Ming army on the ground, and the Hezhou avant-garde with the worst losses was originally only more than 300 people, and this time there were more than 200 dead and wounded, because this avant-garde happened to walk in the middle of the team, and the rain of arrows fell to abolish the Hezhou avant-garde, Zhu Zhijian arranged for the remaining people of this thousand households to bury the dead and wounded Daxi Army, otherwise it will become a plague next year, and then let them go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, anyway, their thousand households have already been martyred, Zheng Jue's subordinates died more than 50 this time, more than 100 were injured, and more than a dozen were seriously injured, and the most gratifying thing for Zheng Jue was that there were no deserters

On the city of Guilin, Cao Ye, the governor of Guangxi, looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Western Army who were attached to the city under the city, and his forehead oozed, there are only 15,000 defenders in Guilin City, and it is not easy to hold on until now, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in this city, as well as the military rations of various armies in Guangxi, Guangxi can't have anything

Today, the soldiers of Guilin City obviously can't stand it, and several times the soldiers of the Great Western Army have attacked the city, if the reinforcements do not come again, tonight at most, Guilin City will be lost, but the Great Western Army is more hated than Li Zicheng When he heard that the Great Western Army entered Sichuan, he killed tens of thousands of victims first

Suddenly, Cao Ye saw that there was dust more than ten miles away, and it seemed that there was a large army advancing, and as the army got closer and closer, Cao Ye could already clearly see the banner of the Ming army

It turned out that Zhu Zhijian ordered Zheng Jue's department to be the vanguard, and he led the army to follow behind Zheng Jue, Zheng Jue despised Zhu Zhijian in his heart, but this person was still useful, and he couldn't offend Zheng Jue, so he didn't say anything and walked in front with his subordinates

Slowly Zheng Jue found that he had come at the right time, fortunately, when Zheng Jue came, he asked Zhu Zhijian for some light horses, and let Yang Zimo take the light horses to clean up the scouts of the Great Western Army, the Great Western Army is still stunned and stunned to attack the city, Sun Kewang has already discovered that Zheng Jue has ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but it will take some time for the troops to withdraw Zheng Jue now has a choice in front of him, is to go to Sun Kewang's camp to wander around? Or go to Sun Kewang's camp?

Zheng Jue ordered the crossbowmen to set a fire to Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang commanded the troops to return to the camp to extinguish the fire, and Zheng Jue took the army to Sun Kewang's flank

"Line up, put it!"

"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~" A burst of bird's gun sound came, Sun Kewang didn't expect that Zheng Jue dared to shoot so far away, and even hit, a distance of more than 130 steps, and then after a crossbow team and a rain of arrows, Sun Kewang originally wanted to eat Zheng Jue's department in one bite, but Sun Kewang saw that his camp was on fire, and there was still grain and grass in the camp for the past few months, so he gave up the idea of eating Zheng Jue's department, turned around and went straight to the camp

Zheng Jue watched Zhu Zhijian's troops chasing after him, and he was not afraid, Cao Ye saw that the Ming army was coming, and ordered someone to open the city gate to welcome reinforcements into the city

"Ha, Brother Zhijian is scared to death, if you come a few days late, I, Cao, may have to face north and kill myself" Cao Ye wiped the sweat on his head and approached Zheng Jue and the others to the city

"I said that there are more thieves attacking the city today, and the offensive is a lot fiercer, it turned out that Brother Zhu's army repelled the ambush of the thieves, with Brother Zhu, this Guilin City can be regarded as preserved" Cao Ye doesn't care whether Zhu Zhijian's face is still hanging or not, a horse fart, no horse who doesn't like to be slapped on the ass, only a claw in the wrong place!

"All the generals will listen to the order, all will go to the city tomorrow, people outside the city will die, and people will die in the city!" Zhu Zhijian's sycophants were photographed very coolly, and his interest was very high, so he pretended to be a little b first

"The last general will live and die with the city" Zheng Jue and a few people gave Zhu Zhijian a face, hurry up and go into the city to eat, the big guys are hungry enough

"By the way, Zheng Qianhu, I will take you to guard the north gate tomorrow!" Zhu Zhijian stopped Zheng Jue and threw down such a sentence, and then went into the city to eat, leaving Zheng Jue alone in the wind

Zheng Jue now wants to take advantage of no one to collapse Zhu Zhijian with a shot, Nima Sun is expected to have insufficient troops, so he can only break through one door first and fight around, and they are from Zhu Youlang's hometown Hengyang, in the north of Guilin, so the pressure on the north gate is the greatest, Zhu Zhijian is obviously not using Zheng Jue's subordinates as people

The next day, the North Gate

After a rain of arrows, Zheng Jue looked at the Great Western Army under the city in groups rushing to death, and felt very puzzled, but if there were no these people, how would Zheng Jue practice marksmanship

Zheng Jue found five people and five bird guns, took turns to reload, and fired more than 100 shots in a row, and finally felt a little bit of a hand, the five people behind Zheng Jue were miserable, and they had to keep reloading with Zheng Jue to change places, why change places? Nonsense, the Great Western Army is not a fool, if you find a continuous output of firepower, how can you be willing not to find a sharpshooter to do it

After fighting for a while, Zheng Jue felt disgusted, in fact, it was very easy to defend the city, as long as the enemy was not allowed to climb up, it was okay to lift a ladder and pour boiling water or something, but what they poured was not boiling water, it was hot oil

Zheng Jue felt that it was a bit of a waste for them to pour hot oil, so he took a lit fuse and threw it down, which was more powerful than a snowball, and in an instant a fire dragon devoured several soldiers of the Great Western Army, and then the surrounding soldiers did the same, and the north gate became a sea of fire

Zheng Jue noticed that there were still cannons on Guilin City, but only the solid bullet went down, and whoever smashed it was whom, even if it was so, one cannon could hit a large area

The Great Western Army finally retreated, and it didn't seem very difficult to defend the city, but Zheng Jue was wrong, today did not pass, the retreat of the Great Western Army was just because their reinforcements also came, Zheng Jue's eyesight was better, and he found that the Great Western Army did not return to the camp after withdrawing from the city wall, but lined up about half a mile away from the city wall, and there seemed to be something in front of them, just when Zheng Jue planned to take a closer look at what these things were

"Boom" "Boom"

"Adults lie down" Zheng Jue was knocked down by the soldiers behind, Zheng Jue only felt that the city wall under him was trembling, Zheng Jue got up in ashes and looked at the soldiers around him, the loss was not big, but the city wall was afraid that it would not be able to withstand a few cannons if it fell into disrepair for many years

"My lord, the thieves are here again!"

"Pass my order, no one can go down the city wall, and those who dare to take half a step back will be killed on the spot! In addition, Zimo went to Lord Zhu to ask for reinforcements to repair the city wall in the back! Fast! ”

With the help of more than a dozen cannons, the morale of the Great Western Army has obviously improved a lot, and Zheng Jue obviously feels that the Great Western Army is attacking fiercely

Because some of the soldiers were still avoiding artillery, some of the Great Western Army had already climbed the city wall, and Zheng Jue rushed over with his own soldiers

Zheng Jue has not practiced martial arts, those knives can only be cut by strength, and foot combat is obviously much more tired than horse fighting, Zheng Jue turned the knife to a Daxi sergeant, but was blocked with a knife

Zheng Jue jumped up and stepped on the stomp of the city wall, flew up and kicked the soldier, kicked him, and then stabbed him in

Several Daxi soldiers around him were about to surround Zheng Jue, Zimo flew up from behind and kicked one off the city wall, and then went straight to the throat of another Daxi sergeant

Zhu Zhijian's reinforcements have finally arrived!
