Chapter 0409 The Queen Mother leaves the palace

Lu Xiangsheng's decision to attack the city thieves was not born suddenly, it was already ready on the one hand, and the upcoming cavalry was on the other, so he acted and contacted the troops who entered King Qin's various ways. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The cavalry swept the formation first, Lu Xiangsheng sighed secretly, looking at the group of cavalry under his command who were ready to go and full of spirit, he naturally knew how big the gap between these people and the Guanning Iron Cavalry was, but the time was tight, he could only train like this, and the cavalry was only worth more than 10,000 under the pressure of finance.

The thief army has retreated far away from the city wall, Lu Xiangsheng can only vaguely hear some chaotic shouts, the news that the scouts have found is that the two sides have fought, and it is time, there is news in Shanxi along the road, and the cavalry is still collecting food from large households in various counties, and it seems that they are ready to fight a protracted war.

However, this also shows that he still has a lot of time, and if he can repel this group of thieves before then, it will inevitably hurt their spirit.

"Bang bang..." A huge voice sounded, and Lu Xiangsheng, who was in the lead, suddenly felt that the earth shook a few times, and the horse suddenly became a little uncontrollably manic.

He looked behind him, his face changed, and his heart suddenly fell into the abyss.

"Oops..." There were many painful moans of soldiers and mournful neighing of horses behind him, flesh and blood flew everywhere, the air was filled with a stream of red blood, the team was in a mess, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes widened, and he forgot to react for a while.

The middle of the earth seems to have been suddenly smashed out of a large crater by a flowstone, and the soldiers in the middle are inevitably killed, blown up or injured, this kind of scene, like the enemy has hit his own team with a thousand rounds of artillery in a row and he is still stupid and has not yet dodged, but it is a matter of this moment!

What's going on? What kind of means did the other party use?!

"Don't panic, get your team ready to meet the enemy!" With full of doubts, Lu Xiangsheng shouted at the top of his throat, he felt that his heart was dripping blood, because the soldiers who were affected were clearly cavalry, and they were all cavalry piled up by the court with blood and tears!

The team is still a chaotic scene, Lu Xiangsheng's shouting has little effect, with his prestige, it can only show that the impact and damage caused by this scene in front of him are too serious for the soldiers, and Lu Xiangsheng shouted angrily.

"If there are any more people who do not obey the military order and leave the team, there will be no mercy!" As soon as the words fell, more than a thousand guards beside him drove their horses away, and there were decisive blades out of the sheath and pathos, and the team finally regained peace.

From tranquility to chaos to tranquility, it took only half an hour.

During this time, there was no enemy coming, but it did not make him feel relieved at all.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the flesh and blood all over the ground, these were countless middle-aged people and dead corpses with only half of their bodies still open their mouths and last words, and young men with pleading and fear in their eyes praying for their general to save their lives, they were lying on this cold snow, their internal organs and intestines stained red with disgust...

This situation is really difficult to see, Lu Xiangsheng squinted his eyes and his heart was like a knife, these are the soldiers he personally trained little by little... In another quarter of an hour, casualties were reported, and there were still more than 5,000 cavalry men left to fight, while the more than 20,000 infantry men in the rear did not have much impact, and hundreds of people were injured by the aftermath.

A quarter of an hour ago, they were still excitedly going into battle to kill the enemy and repay the country, but the next moment they were already covered with corpses, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of anger and self-blame.

10,000 cavalry, more than half of them were killed and wounded without even seeing the enemy's face, and his own commander didn't even know the situation until now!!

"The brothers who cannot move will camp and wait in place, and the rest will come forward with Lord Ben!" Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth and gave an order categorically, at this moment he could only walk forward and take advantage of the sadness in the team.

After checking the terrain, he had a judgment on the kind of thing that caused them a large number of casualties, that is, things like cannons are just buried deep underground, but the power is really not the same as artillery, there are too many powerful, Lu Xiangsheng is full of resentment in his heart, he is naturally responsible, but as a court, it is really a shame to be led by such a group of anti-thieves in weapons!

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening in front, Lu Xiangsheng filled the rhythm and speed of the team, and the originally three-mile-long team was organized into ten miles by him, and the infantry stepped forward to explore the way.

If he really wants to die, these people will definitely be the first to die, Lu Xiangsheng can't bear it, he is not afraid of death, he even wants to step forward in person, but he can't, if he dies, the battle will not be able to fight, and all this will be over.

.........

North Zhili, Yi County.

Wen Hao sent troops to fight with Zuo Liangyu, who was besieging the city, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, Zuo Liangyu and the 200,000 soldiers of Huguangnan Zhili were also helpless, and the quality of the soldiers could not keep up with the other party.

It is not easy for Zuo Liangyu to keep his soldiers from being crushed by a blow, the enemy's firearms are powerful and impact from time to time to make him suffer heavy losses, he personally felt that this battle could not be fought, and then he thought that he understood, why the other party was a little cringe, because their shells and so on were already a little insufficient, so he once again carried out a war of attrition, and the other party did not often return the artillery, but every time it was almost certain to hit, although the small city was a little stormy after a bombardment, and the soldiers who besieged the city also suffered heavy losses.

Then they waited for the sluggish Lu Xiangsheng team, but Lu Xiangsheng himself wore a white headband on his head, and his eyes were red and looked a little hideous.

Even though the time spent on the way over was really long, the original momentum of mourning the victory of the soldiers had dissipated most of it, but Lu Xiangsheng was still the same.

Wen Hao knew that the biggest battle in these days was about to start, and in this already extremely dilapidated Yixian County, there were more than 200,000 enemies, and he had 50,000.

His troops have almost no losses since they arrived here, and there will be injuries when they fight with the Mongols in the field, but when he arrives in the interior, he really understands how elite the soldiers in Ningxia are, so she is not nervous at the moment, even if she can't beat it, in other words, no one will be able to stop him if he breaks through.

It's like a group of pigs can kill a stupid tiger, but as long as the tiger is willing to go, it will never be stopped, just like the Ming Dynasty has treated Houjin for so many years.

"Wait for the thief, today Lu Mou let you die without a place to be buried!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at the majestic anti-thief on the city wall.

"General Zuo, please attack from the east of the city... Mr. Chen, you are from the west of the city, Lord Li, you are from the east of the city, and as for the north of the city, Lord Ben will attack in person! Lu Xiangsheng ordered in a deep voice, he still doesn't believe in this evil, a few years ago they could embarrass the huge millions of anti-thieves or something, and they can do the same today, no matter how powerful you are, it is only 50,000, only 50,000!

When he came, he took over the team, as the governor of Xuanda and the current left servant of the military department, he was one of the best figures among the Manchu officials in the imperial court.

A steady stream of heads poured in from all around, although Wen Hao used cannons to strike for a while but the effect was slim, the facts once again proved that the cannon only has a huge effect when attacking the city, the soldiers quickly narrowed the distance to the place where the cannon could not reach, Wen Hao calmly signaled his subordinates to take out a cloth bag with a fuse, and then lit a fire and threw it out, booming.

There is still a lot of gunpowder brought from Ningxia, but it is a pity that a lot of stocks have been buried in the ground before, which has been continuously improved in Ningxia for several years, and the gunpowder in the Tang and Song dynasties hundreds of years ago is much stronger.

Flesh and blood flew immediately under the city, for this group of soldiers, it was really a great disaster, there were cannons when they were far away, bows and arrows when they were close, and there were such unknown powerful things even closer, and they finally went up the ladder and were crushed by flying stones.

However, the number of people killed by the bomb is huge, and a very empty hole can basically be blown out at one time, and the soldiers and generals who are besieging the city are extremely frightened, with this kind of thing, it is really impossible to fight! And Lu Xiangsheng and his subordinates were a little angry and excited, this is the kind of thing, yes, he understands.

But what's the use?! Lu Xiangsheng sighed, judging from the scale of this siege, it is unprecedentedly huge, and the city wall is already crumbling, but this kind of package that will explode makes him helpless!

Lu Xiangsheng took the lead in stopping, and Zuo Liangyu, who coincidentally stopped, and they were a little glad in their hearts that they and the others did not charge in advance, otherwise they didn't know what would happen, but in less than half an hour, the combined losses of the four cities had exceeded 5,000 people, and almost every explosion would make dozens of soldiers lose their combat effectiveness, which was much more powerful than artillery.

Do you want to block it with human lives? Lu Xiangsheng was very annoyed, he had been fighting for so many years, the more he was in a difficult environment, the bigger his outburst became, and the more resolute his behavior became, but at this time he was in a dilemma, the weight of this package was very small, and they could bring a lot... So it's really unrealistic to think that they will be exhausted, and if you really consume them, maybe this team will be gone!

Lu Xiangsheng chose to knock down the wall of Yixian County, although it was only a small county, but it was also a very difficult task, Lu Xiangsheng sighed, collected his troops and prepared to fire.

He knew that time was very tight, if it weren't for the cavalry from Ningxia who had to collect grain and grass along the road, maybe the soldiers would have come to the city by now, in this case, Chongzhen would not allow himself to stay here, and would definitely let himself and others snipe them.

The idea of them wanting to open fire is not so easy, five thousand cavalry galloped out of the city, Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry together with the cavalry in the army of King Qin stepped forward to meet the enemy, and the defeat was revealed under a few impacts, Lu Xiangsheng took the lead with a big sword to make these cavalry not retreat after the enemy, but the gap in strength is obvious, and several times if he was not surrounded by personal guards he would have been in danger.

Slowly retreated, retreated, until the troops were withdrawn, and the losses were more than 1,000.

Lu Xiangsheng gave the order to open the cannon with a calm face, his only advantage now is the strength of the army, so he must make full use of it, save time day and night!

Yixian has been besieged, and Lu Xiangsheng firmly believes that the death period of this group of people has come, and at most they can't trap the group of cavalry, and the infantry can't be trapped? Joke!

.........

A carriage slowly came out of the Yi'an Palace, the appearance was extremely gorgeous, and it was not something that ordinary people could use at a glance, and finally arrived at the Forbidden City Gate after half an hour, accompanied by more than 100 people, and was stopped.

"You guys are so bold, this is the queen mother's car, and you dare to stop it?!" A maid said coldly, Zhang Yan has not been out of the palace for more than ten years, and her maid is the same, she is really annoyed at the moment, and she is not polite to speak.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins! It's just that the last general was ordered to guard the city gate, and no idle people were allowed to enter or exit..."The general guarding the gate said neither humbly nor arrogantly, although the military discipline in the army was lax, but the people responsible for fulfilling their duties were not absent, and those who could be sent to carry out this important task were even more valued by Chongzhen.

"Miscellaneous people, etc..."

"The Queen Mother is naturally not an idle person, but she also has to search the carriage..."

"You..."

"That's it..."Zhang Yan's cold voice interrupted the maid's anger, "Little mink, don't embarrass this general, just search over there..."

"Yes—" The maid glared at the general, silent.

"Queen Mother, the last general will be offended!" The general shouted unmoved, and then a woman lifted the curtain of the chariot door and looked in.

"If you want to check, just check..."Zhang Yan's attitude is very good, there is no lack of majesty in her words, but it is winter, and she seems to be wearing a little too much, and the hem of a robe is half a foot long and spread on the ground, showing grace.

There was a clear view in the carriage, and only Zhang Yan was sitting in the middle of the carriage, and then the woman took a few careful glances and hesitated before closing the curtain.

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly frowned.

"Alas...," one of the accompanying guards couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "General, it's just a check, why do you want to make a face!" ”

The general was a little embarrassed, and waited for the subordinate to glance at him and said, although you can't relax in front of the queen mother, you don't have to be so rude! "This brother, his subordinates don't know the severity of the atonement, in fact, the body of a chamberlain was found in the pool in the palace yesterday with his face cut, and there must be a thief who is proficient in the art of disguise..."

Zhang Yan in the car was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and she knew how Ning Zhiyuan had escaped these days, and suddenly her body was strange again, and she roared in a low voice with a flushed face, "What are you doing, take your hands away..."

Ning Daguan's hippie smile came out of the robe, pressed Zhang Yan under him, and kissed him.
