Chapter 54: The Thief (Part II)

"Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." When the fifth round of projectiles landed, the artillery on the city wall finally stopped, and almost everyone of the Zhejiang soldiers who were hastily adjusting their formations secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and their pale faces rekindled a little desire for victory.

However, Zhedong Xuan's brows were slightly wrinkled, the situation was wrong, very wrong, in the past, the long-range artillery on the head of Jiangwan City would also use its own advantages to bombard the Zhejiang army, but it was usually carried out when the distance between the two sides was shortened to within 500 steps, and at that distance, the shells jumped up more times after landing, and the lethality was greater, and this time, they were 700 steps away, and they couldn't bear it at all.

This is definitely not a normal reaction, according to the experience of fighting in the past half a month, Dong Junxiao has keenly explored a fatal flaw in this kind of artillery, that is, the temperature of the barrel rises too fast, and every five to six rounds of fire, it must be paused for a period of time to cool down, so in the past battles, he always made full use of the gap that the Huai'an army's long-range artillery needed to be cooled, and pushed the team forward quickly, and the defenders in the city tried their best to avoid being caught by him. All the experience that has been summed up in the past has lost its effect, and the other party has become particularly emboldened.

"Could it be that the Zhu butcher sent reinforcements to them, or they have already learned the news that Zhang Thief has entered Kouzhidong." To be able to stand out as a civilian official in the war to suppress the Red Turban Uprising, Dong Junxiao is not just ruthless, his intuition of danger and insight into the enemy's situation are also first-class, however, the first situation is obviously unlikely, under the siege of the 300,000 army of Tokto, Zhu Tuhu has to do his best to keep Huai'an, and it is impossible to divide his troops back to Yangzhou, as for the second type, if the defender knows that the back road of the Zhejiang army is unstable, why should he be in such a hurry to go out of the city to fight, and continue to hide behind the high wall to defend it, wouldn't it be a sure victory.

Just as he was in doubt, a low conch horn suddenly sounded in his ears, "Woo, woo. With a special rustic and salty smell, it stimulates people's ears.

"Who, scout, how come there is no return." Dong Shuxiao shuddered, stretched his neck from the horse, and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw a large, but extremely chaotic team, waving colorful flags, slowly approaching him from the north, in front of the team, there was a dark blue flag waving in the wind, the flag was painted with a huge shark head, showing cold teeth to the people around.

"Fang Guozhen ,,。" Dong Xiaoxiao was stunned, and then remembered that he had invited Fang Guozhen to "watch the battle" last night, however, he remembered that he had invited Fang Guozhen himself, how could that guy pull all the soldiers and horses over.

"Report ,,。" Before he could come back to his senses, a scout dressed as a captain rode his horse and flew in, intervened in the salute from afar, and reported loudly: "I congratulate my lord, the sailor Wanhu, and the general manager of Caoyun, Fang Guozhen, saying that he was ordered to come to help in the war." ”

"Lao Tzu has seen it, and I still need you to say it." Dong Junxiao glared at the scout leader fiercely, gasping and asking, "Why did you only report now, so that the other scouts who were scattered were blind." ”

"Comfort your lordship for forgiveness." The head of the scout was so frightened that he shuddered, and quickly explained loudly, "It was the scout sent by the head of Fang to stop our scout, he said, he said that he wanted to give you a surprise, small, small, it was because he was afraid of misunderstanding, so he found an opportunity to sneak over to report, small, small"

"Hmm." Dong Shuxiao frowned, the cold light appeared in his eyes, and he gave himself a surprise, in front of the two armies, how could he be so childish, besides, he had never had any friendship with Fang Guzi, what was he doing in a hurry to pat his ass.

"Could it be, Fang, Fang someone sensed some clues." Dong Ze, a pro-soldier hundred, was clever and cautiously reminded beside him.

Hearing this, the cold light in Dong Shuxiao's eyes suddenly weakened a lot, stroked his beard, and nodded lightly, "So, it's Dong who underestimated him, okay, since he has come, let him and his sons break the enemy side by side, you take a few people, let him settle down his soldiers and horses first, don't get too close, at least, at least keep a distance of five hundred steps, and when there is kung fu, the old man will personally go over to discuss today's battle arrangements with him." ”

"Yes." Dong Ze, a hundred personal soldiers, nodded, turned over and jumped on his mount, and went straight to the direction where Fang Guozhen's department came to meet him, the latter took 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses to escort him, and his plot to detain them as a hostage must not be realized, so he can only retreat to the next thing, and let Fang Jiajun contribute more strength in the next battle, and use it as a stepping stone for Dong's army.

As the younger generation that Dong Junxiao tried his best to cultivate, he had already obtained a bit of the true family inheritance, and in the process of galloping, he thought of a whole set of rhetoric in his stomach, however, as the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, he suddenly felt that the situation of the Fang family army was a little strange, and the degree of advance was getting faster and faster, not to mention, in front of the entire army, there were still fifteen or six hundred war horses, which slowly converged into a perfect wedge in the process of advancing forward.

"No, how could Fang Guzi have so many cavalry in his hands." Almost in an instant, Dong Ze woke up in a hundred households, war horses like dry weather, this is a well-known fact, so the armies south of the Yellow River, including the pure Mongolian army, the number of war horses has never been abundant, the ordinary horse red army and the Han army, in addition to scouts, only centurion generals and above have mounts to ride, other low-level officers and non-commissioned officers, Ping Suyi said to ride horses, and even the opportunity to touch the horse's buttocks can not be mixed.

However, Fang Guozhen, who has always been the overlord of the sea, suddenly has a large cavalry under his command, isn't it surprising that this cavalry seems to be well-trained.

Almost out of instinct, Dong Ze, a hundred households, turned the direction of the mount, led the entourage around him, turned around and fled, he was ready to flee back to his own home, and to comfort Dong Zexiao in eastern Zhejiang as quickly as possible, so that his uncle must stop Fang Guzi's men and horses from continuing to approach, however, there were several Arabian horses, but they chased after him faster, and the rider on horseback took out a short crutch from his waist, stretched out his left arm as a support, and decisively pulled the trigger with his right hand, "Ah." "Phew." "Phew."

"Phew." "Phew." "Phew." More than 20 three-eyed short guns, more than 60 projectiles, separated by thirteen or four steps, into the backs of Dong Ze and others, a few inches deeper, the "Fang Jiajun" rider on horseback did not hesitate to let go of his right hand, let the short gun with a leather rope at the end of the tail fall to his waist by himself, and then quickly pulled out a thin and long horizontal knife from under the saddle, and rushed towards the right wing of the Zhejiang army with a faster speed.

"Woo, woo." "Woo, woo. "Woo, woo. The conch continued to blow like waves at high tide, wave after wave.

"Boom, boom." The sound of horses' hooves followed the sound of the conch horn, and more than 1,500 cavalrymen galloped out from the front of the Fang family's army, lining up the most common wedge-shaped attack array of cavalry, stabbing at their own targets, decisive and firm.

"Facing the battle, order Wuxi Liu Er, immediately turn around for me to fight." Dong Xiaoxiao saw that both eyes were bloody, and he brandished his waist knife and roared loudly.

Understood, he completely understood, no wonder Fang Guzi accepted his invitation without hesitation, it turned out that this person had already been in trouble with the red turban thief wolf bèi, just waiting to find an opportunity to give himself a fatal blow, no wonder the artillery of Jiangwan New City today began to threaten so far away, it turned out to be to distract himself and distract the formation of the Zhejiang army.

"Fight, fight, Liuzi battalion, the whole army of Liuzi battalion turns right and faces the battle head-on,." Anxious about the urgency of his own coach, the soldiers around Dong Junxiao also opened their throats and repeated the order over and over again.

"Woo woo woo ,,。" "Woo woo woo woo ,,。" "Woo woo ,,。" "Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock, knock knock." The sound of trumpets and war drums followed by shouts, in the military formation, all the emergency means that could transmit orders were used by Dong Junxiao and his cronies, however, it was too late

The Liuzi battalion of the Maohulu soldiers, which was arranged on the right flank of the Zhejiang army, was formed by the Liujia, the richest man in Wuxi, and more than 30 gentry around it, although the number was as high as more than 7,000, they had not received any training to fight against the cavalry, not to mention that in a hurry, they did not have time to rearrange the formation closely.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The archers who reacted the fastest, shot a wave of sparse arrow rain, for the cavalry wearing steel wire armor on the upper body, this level of accumulation of shots, it was simply tickling, several cavalrymen who rushed to the front, each of them was hit by at least three or five arrows, but they didn't even shake it, on the contrary, they calmly stretched out their right arms, turned the horizontal knives in their hands forward, and poked into proud wings.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The second wave of feathered arrows flew in a hurry, even weaker than the previous wave, and the dozen or so cavalrymen who rushed to the front were hit by an average of two or three arrows each, but they still did not fall off their horses, but raised their heads and howled like wolves, "Ah,,。 "Ah,,。h "Ah,,。h

"Ah,,。h "Ah,,。h "Ah,,。h "Ah,,。h "Ah,,。h "Ah,,。h "Ah,,。h "Ah,,。h "Ah,,。h While shouting, they slammed the stirrups harder, leading more than 1,500 brothers behind them, like millions of heroes, and the smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves soared upwards to cover the sky and the sun.

The gourd soldiers who stood in front of the horse team had seen such a battle before, and there was no longer a third wave of feather arrows, the timid ones dropped their horned bows, turned around and fled, and the bold ones trembled, picked up a spear, and danced around in front of their own bodies, and some of the particularly timid ones, who had neither the courage to flee nor the courage to resist, simply shouted, dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, and their bodies trembled like chaff,
