Chapter 14 Fighting against the odds and escaping death

It was late autumn in October, and it was already cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And Zunhua City, an important town on the border of the Ming Dynasty, is lonely at the moment, swaying in this autumn wind.

But it was said that at this time, outside Zunhua City, there was a long and narrow valley.

Later, the army led by Jinbeile Azig drove a group of Ming troops to the narrow strip of land, surrounded to death, which can be described as three layers inside and three layers outside, that is, even a bird does not want to fly over.

"General, the Tartars have surrounded our legion, please lead the guards to break through! We are willing to fight for the general! ”

In the Ming army, I saw a captain kneeling in front of a veteran in white and silver armor, and I saw that the captain's torn armor was already stained with blood, obviously after a hard fight.

And the old man is none other than the Liaodong general, Yuan Chonghuan's most relied on right-hand man - Zhao Shujiao, Zhao Xilong.

"Breakout? How suddenly—"

Faced with this scene, Zhao Shujiao smiled bitterly.

This time he sent troops to Zunhua, Zhao Shujiao already felt that the crisis was imminent, but Yuan Chonghuan had the grace of knowing him, as long as he could share his worries for Yuan Chonghuan, although he could not give up, but what he didn't expect was that Houjin dug such a big 'pit' for him, waiting for him to jump.

"Inspector Yuan, Xilong is here to say goodbye to your lord!"

In the face of the enemy's heavy siege, Zhao Shujiao has reported his will to die.

"It's just that I've suffered four thousand Ning Yuan's disciples!"

Zhao Shujiao sighed secretly, but he was also powerless.

"Soldiers, the good sons and daughters of Ningyuan, for the sake of the Daming Jiangshan Sheji, for our fathers and fellow villagers, today I, Zhao Xilong, will take you to fight to the death with the Tartars, you are willing!"

"I'm willing to fight to the death with the general!"

"Willingly—willingly!"

A tragic and generous voice resounded through the valley, and it never stopped for a long time - "Kill!" ”

However, it was said that the veteran Zhao Shujiao had the will to die, and took the remaining Guan Ning elite sons and daughters to rush towards the Houjin army outside the encirclement.

On the top of the Zunhua City Tower not far away, Governor Wang Yuanya and a group of old and weak soldiers were a little powerless.

"General Zhao is determined to die!"

Wang Yuanya couldn't help but sigh.

"My lord, did you go out of the city to help?"

Under it, there are officials in the government who come forward.

Hearing this, Wang Yuanya was a little funny.

"Save, how to save, just the three thousand old and weak in our city, I'm afraid that before I go out, I will be wrapped in dumplings by the Tartars, so Zunhua is in danger, Daming is in danger, how can I Wang Yuanya be entrusted by the emperor, but it's a pity that I regret not listening to the good words of Inspector Yuan! It's late, it's late! ”

After that, there was silence - "Top! Hurry up! Damn, this group of Ming soldiers is really fucking damn something! ”

Seeing this group of ragged soldiers, the Ming Dynasty soldiers who had been low-willed before suddenly fought towards the area surrounded by them, and they were dressed in heavy armor but scolded in their mouths.

"Lord Niu Lu, Lord Niu Lu, the other party's bird gun firepower is too fierce, and the brothers really can't bear it."

It is said that this Zhao led his subordinates to 4,000 Guanning iron horses, which were all equipped with electric guns, this thing was a kind of impact flintlock pistol invented by Zhao Shizhen, a firearms master during the Wanli period of the previous dynasty, but the cost of this thing is quite expensive, and it is not a strong man who can not do it when he knocks the trigger, so in the Guanning army, only Zhao Shuojiao, who is the number one general under Yuan Chonghuan, has this configuration.

The power of the electric bolt is extremely powerful, although it shows that the army is surrounded by regiments, but in front of the charge led by Zhao Led Sect, the Houjin army is poured batch after batch, but the Houjin army is more, and the next batch of latecomers have successively filled the gap.

However, everyone has the advantage and avoids the disadvantage, seeing that this firearm is powerful, so wherever the Ming army rushed, it was one after another to retreat.

Therefore, besieging thousands of troops with tens of thousands of troops for a time did not have the slightest advantage, but it was a strange thing.

"His grandmother's, I don't believe this thing is so powerful, let me try it!"

Seeing that there were heavy casualties in his own Niu Lu, and his own army was a little shrunken, the previous Niu Lu was really on a whim, put on heavy armor, turned over on the horse with a long knife, and was ready to step forward to cut a few Ming troops to strengthen the army.

"Uyamu, this armor will also be lent to you."

Seeing that the Niu Lu named Wu Yamu was really about to take the lead in the charge, one of the Niu Lu on the other side threw one of his heavy armor to him.

"Thanks, Usiledt."

"Mmmm, you kid pay attention, otherwise your sister will have to peel my skin!"

The fellow named Usil waved his hand, and it was obvious that the two were in-laws.

"Alright, alright, let's see me chop off a few more enemy heads!"

Don't say much, the Niu Lu named Wu Yamu Sticky has already turned over and turned on his horse, and went straight to Zhao to lead the Chinese army, at this time he was already covered with a layer of soft armor, two layers of pure iron heavy armor, from head to toe It was tightly wrapped, and only a pair of straight gurgling eyes were still turning.

"The Ulnaming Army, take orders!"

It is said that this guy named Wu Yamu came in this disguise, but for a while, it made those busy Fang Gong Guan Ning Jian'er a little stunned.

"Where did this come from?"

There was a burst of disdain in everyone's hearts.

"General, an enemy chief in heavy armor has rushed over on the opposite side."

After all, it was on the battlefield, and after everyone hesitated for a few tenths and a few seconds, a junior colonel of the first army reported the matter to Zhao Shujiao, who was still rushing to kill on the other side.

"Oh, there's such a thing?"

Hearing the report of the little colonel, Zhao Shujiao was also stunned, there was a rain of bullets on the battlefield, this guy dared to come in leather armor, obviously arrogant to the extreme.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Shujiao seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on his originally lifeless face.

"Come on, take the small Hongyi cannon given by Lord Yuan!"

As soon as this statement came out, not long after the army launched a miniature version of the red-coated cannon, but it was a little different from the red-coated cannon, this thing was designed by Yuan Chonghuan to ask Westerners, combined with the advantages of the former dynasty Qi Jiguanghu squatting cannon, and forged by the number one signboard Zhao Zimen of the Beijing Firearms Bureau, this is the first test product, the only one in the Ningyuan defense line, Zhao led this trip to Zunhua, but it was personally gifted by Yuan Chonghuan, which shows that the friendship between the two is extraordinary.

Although the siege power of this thing is not as good as the Hongyi cannon, but it is to overcome the defects of the Hongyi cannon is not good at field warfare, of course, all this is just the designer's expectation, as for the result, no one knows, so it can be said that Zhao Zunhua brought this thing on this trip, but Yuan Chonghuan also had the intention of testing the cannon.

"How's the muzzle?"

Seeing that the sergeant was making a fuss, Zhao Shujiao saw that Niu Lu was about to rush to the front of him, but he was a little anxious.

"It should be possible!"

The soldier used to use the three-eyed gun, and this thing was used for the first time, so he was a little unsure.

"Let's go!"

I suddenly felt that there was a glimmer of life, but at this moment, it was only a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and I couldn't, seeing that the enemy chief rushed up, I had to call the sergeant to prepare to fire a cannon.

And just when the Guan Ning army stopped charging and killing and tinkered with artillery, the Houjin army on the opposite side was chattering.

"Wuya Niulu is really the first Baturu of Houjin, you see that those Ming soldiers dare not come out one by one, and they are all scared by the courage of Wuya Niulu!"

"Yes, Wu Ya Niulu will definitely be able to take the brothers to the palace of the Ming Dynasty to strengthen the treasure of the Ming Dynasty emperor, I heard that there are three thousand in the Ming Dynasty emperor's harem, and they are all beautiful as flowers, tsk-"

Between the words, then Jin Shishu was salivating.

However, things were not as perfect as the sergeant had thought, for after the next loud bang, everything was said to come to naught—"Lord Uya! ”

"Uya!"

There was a rumbling cannon sound, followed by a ghost crying wolf howl, and for a while, I saw that my own Niu Lu was blown up to the point that there was no scum left, but it caused a panic in the previous group of Niu Lu.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up, hurry, go and tell Lord Gushan Ezhen!"

Seeing a panic on the other side, Zhao Shujiao felt a burst of joy in his heart, although there was only a small crack, but it was also the hope of life, although he had the will to die, but it did not mean that he didn't know how to run away when he had a way to live, and he was alive - that was instinct.

"All the shells are fired at the breach, brethren, rush with Ben!"

After a burst of artillery fire, the gap in the previous charge was already crying father and mother, these Houjin soldiers were far from expecting that this group of Ming Dynasty soldiers who thought they were safe and properly solved in their eyes suddenly broke out, and there was such a powerful thing hidden, that thing was simply a demon in their eyes.

"Don't abandon the Hongyi cannon, remember to bring it back to the overseer for General Ben!"

Taking the lead in the charge, Zhao Shujiao did not forget the cannon that helped them open a glimmer of life, this guy is all top secret, Zhao Shujiao knows that naturally it cannot fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

Seeing that thousands of Guanning elites were about to break out of the encirclement, the leader of the Houjin Army, who was the first in the Houjin Army, was busy scolding.

"You are crazy, Yierjuoro Yahoo, there is news from the camp that it is repeatedly emphasized that you want to capture this Zhao Shujiao alive, and you have privately ordered someone to release arrows, but you have violated the military order!"

Seeing that Jiala Ezhen Yier Jueluo ignored the message from the Azig tent and wanted to release the arrow, one of the Jiala Ezhen on the other side persuaded him.

"When are you not allowed to release arrows, Murdil Shaq, you see how many of our brethren have died, and if you are afraid of punishment, then well, I will come!"

After that, despite the dissuasion of the person next to him, called Murdile Shaq, he took out his bow and arrow, and bent his bow at Zhao Shujiao, who was leading Ning Yuanjian'er to break through desperately.

"Search-"

One arrow through the air.

"General! Be careful! ”

Just when Jian Yu was only an inch away from Zhao Shujiao's heart, a small school was busy reminding.

Zhao Shujiao, who noticed the abnormality behind him, instinctively blocked it with his hand, and his body was facing the side, although the arrow was deviated from the back of his heart, it was deeply pierced into Zhao Shujiao's arm.

"General!"

Seeing that Zhao led the sect to be hit by an arrow, the pro-army on the side was a little anxious.

"It's okay, don't worry, it seems that the Tartars don't dare to release arrows on a large scale, they must hope to capture the old man alive! Quick, take advantage of the opportunity and rush out! ”

After breaking the arrow and wrapping it simply, Zhao Shujiao understood a little in his heart, but he continued to rush out with the army, and did not show any injury from the arrow.

"! What a bad luck! ”

Seeing that Zhao Shujiao was still rushing to the front, and it was a little far away, the Jia Lae Ezhen named Yier Jueluo was a little indignant, but at this moment, Zhao Shujiao and the others were far beyond the range of archery, and he could only sigh with admiration, helpless.

- "Fourteenth brother, look! It's all your doing! ”

Just after Zhao led the army to escape death, there was a roar in the big tent of Bel Azig of the former army of the Later Jin.
