416, arrogant to hide the fierce mangs (4)

Zuo Mengeng didn't dare to stay at all, and rushed back to Shagang, and now Zuo Liangyu's army is stationed here. He had just entered the camp, so he went to see Zuo Liangyu and told him that he had not won the full success of his raid, and Zuo Liangyu did not blame him when he heard this, but just sent him back to the old camp to garrison.

"Although I failed to kill the tall pillar, I have already taught Hu Guangbing a lesson......

Zuo Liangyu's hatred for Hu Guangbing in his heart was not only because of Shen Yunying's matter, but more importantly, after the Yue soldiers in Xiong Wencan's hands deliberately drove him away, Xiong Wencan was completely helpless against him, until those Hu Guangbing arrived.

Unlike the Yue soldiers who were easily provoked, the military discipline and performance of the Huguang soldiers made Zuo Liangyu sigh to himself. If he had such soldiers under his command, the battle of crossing the river to chase Zhang Xianzhong might not be defeated, but it was a pity that the good soldiers fell into the hands of Xiong Wencan, a fool! The more this is the case, the more jealous he becomes, if Huguang Energy continues to replenish such good soldiers, where is his Zuo Liangyu worthy of the attention of the imperial court, and where will he still get the support of Donglin!

The Donglin Party is all like Zhang Guowei and Shi Kefa.

Therefore, he didn't care on the surface, but in fact he was ready and waited for Fang Kongzhi to come to the door to find trouble. He thinks that Fang Kongzhi is nothing more than two ways: one is to send a messenger to reprimand him and ask him to hand over the murderer; The second is to endure this matter and seek revenge in the future.

He gritted his teeth and denied the former, and the latter ...... It is difficult to say who will retaliate against whom.

"My lord, there is a messenger from the Prime Minister outside!"

Zuo Liangyu's waiting person did not come to the door, but waited for an unexpected guest. At noon the next day, when he heard this, his heart moved, and he summoned the messenger and asked, "What is the matter with Prime Minister Xiong's summoning me?" ”

"It was the governor of Huguang who sent an envoy to summon the general soldier of Zuo to interrogate."

The envoy accepted Zuo Liangyu's gift, and did not hide it, and said with a smile: "The appearance of the governor of that party seems to be a little angry. ”

"Hah!"

Zuo Liangyu smiled, disapproving, Fang Kongzhi was really as he expected, but he didn't dare to come to him directly, but wanted to put pressure on him through Xiong Wencan.

He didn't want to go, but the messenger said, "Deputy Chief Chen is also here." ”

"Which Deputy Chief Chen?"

"Chen Hongfan, deputy chief soldier of Denglai."

Zuo Liangyu's heart shook for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Sun Lin, the chief soldier of Denglai, was the son-in-law of Fang Kongzhi, and during the Battle of Anqing, he saw that the combat power of the Denglai soldiers was only above the Huguang soldiers!

If this is the case, it is not good for him not to go, otherwise Fang Kong Zhisheng planted the charge on his head and sent Denglai soldiers to attack him, he is still cleaning up the rout, there are only less than 20,000 horses, and he will suffer a big loss if he really wants to get it. always have to argue in front of Xiong Wencan, let Xiong Wencan suppress Fang Kongzhi, Xiong Wencan is the main caressing, and Fang Kongzhi is the main suppression, the relationship between the two has always been not harmonious, and he can maneuver from it.

Thinking of this, he ordered the elite of his own soldiers, and summoned Zuo Mengeng, so that he could guard the camp for a good life, and he led the troops to meet Xiong Wencan.

As soon as his troops left the camp, scouts galloped into the distance, and two hours later, Yu Guozhen had already arrived at Shagang.

Looking at the barracks in the distance, Yu Guozhen nodded slightly.

Although it is a temporary barracks built on the basis of a small village, Zuo Liangyu still has some ability after all, and all kinds of precautions are in good shape. It's a pity that the soldiers guarding are no different from the bandits, and there is no one on the watchtower at all, or there was originally someone on duty, but because Zuo Liangyu left, that person also left his post.

That being the case, Yu Guozhen doesn't have to be polite.

"Lao Niu, Boguang, officers and soldiers are bandits, better than bandits, I have always said in Xinxiang that those who have power in their hands break the law, and they should be added to the crime of breaking the law compared to ordinary people." He looked back at the two generals in his hands and said: "Zuo Liangyu's department is harmful to the Quartet, and it is difficult to write a book, and now I can't directly punish him, so let's get rid of his minions first-this is also for the revenge of Dazhu and others." ”

"Yes!" Tian Boguang and Qi Niu both understood the meaning of Yu Guozhen's words, since it was to remove his minions, it was to leave no prisoners.

"Go ahead!" Yu Guozhen said.

Mao Yuanyi had seen the Tiger Guard fight once, they watched Qi Niu lead the cavalry and spread out towards the two wings, while Tian Boguang supervised the foot soldiers, quickly lined up, and then walked out through the forest, and forced towards the left camp step by step. Yu Guozhen brought all the 4,000 tiger guards this time, except for 500 people who stayed as the reserve of the formation, the rest were all dispatched. Thousands of people acted in unison, and throughout the process, everyone was focused, and no one exchanged words or made useless sounds.

"Mr. Anmin, I think...... There is always something wrong with Yu Jimin's training......"

Wang Haoran quietly said to Mao Yuanyi, he had also read the records of those legendary generals training in the military books, although the Tiger Guard was very similar to those elites with military orders, but he always thought that the Tiger Guard had something more.

"It's a bit ......"

Mao Yuanyi's feelings are even more profound than Wang Haoran's, he has served as the deputy chief soldier in Liaodong, he has supervised the soldiers and horses, and he has also trained elite soldiers, but compared the soldiers he trained with the tiger guard in Yu Guozhen's hands, except for making him ashamed, there is really nothing else to say.

In contrast, this Tiger guard seemed to have something more than he didn't understand.

He glanced at Song Xiance, he actually didn't look down on this unambitious talent, but Song Xiance had been in Xinxiang for more than half a year, unlike Wang Haoran, who was still relatively immature now, Song Xiance looked at the problem more deeply.

"If you have paid attention to Xinxiang's workshop, you will know that the Xinxiang workshop assembly line ...... It can greatly speed up the manufacture of products. Tiger Guard is like a production line on an assembly line...... They are the most terrible force of our time. ”

Song Xiance said in a low voice, this evaluation is by no means derogatory, Song Xiance really thinks that Huwei is like a product produced on an assembly line, which is enough to destroy any similar product in this era.

The first shot on the battlefield was fired by the left battalion, and even if the left battalion's vigilance was lax, and suddenly thousands of people surrounded their camp, they could still feel it. But the bird's gun, which was released two hundred steps away, did not know where the projectile had hit, and the tiger guard began to raise his gun to shoot after entering a hundred meters according to the rules.

Two or five hundred muskets, the destructive power caused by firing at the same time was extremely shocking, especially the flintlock muskets made the muskets fire faster, and the average firing every twenty seconds brought boundless fear to the soldiers of the left battalion.

Those antlers could protect against cavalry assaults, infantry engagement, but not against musket volleys. When the soldiers of the left battalion who dared to fight back were all beaten into a sieve, the drum beat sounded, and the tiger guard calmly continued to approach, coming to a distance of thirty meters from the left battalion.

At this distance, their bullets could even penetrate ordinary planks, so they did not rush to get closer, but frantically poured gunfire, and the soldiers of the left battalion, who had been cowering behind the wooden fence and waiting for hand-to-hand combat, had no last courage, and they wailed and retreated towards the back door of the camp.

There were gunshots on three sides, but not in the rear, and in this case, even if they knew that the rear might be a trap, they could only flee that way.

"That's how the musket was used...... On the battlefield, there are no more tiger generals. ”

Seeing this scene, Wang Haoran couldn't help but sigh.

It is the legendary Guan Zhang Zhao Lu, in the face of such a dense rain of bullets, even if they are given triple armor, they are afraid that they will not be able to display their martial arts on the battlefield. Wang Haoran always had some heroic plots in his heart, but this situation completely shattered his heroic plots. He thought of what Yu Guozhen had said when he persuaded him to conduct practical research: Any individual's courage and wisdom can only be crushed in the face of the powerful power displayed after the application of practical learning.

He knew that there were 11,000 Tiger Guards now, and less than half of them had been sent here, and if all 11,000 people came up, I am afraid that even a million enemy troops would not be able to stop them!

"Supplies." Mao Yuanyi spit out two words.

To a certain extent, Mao Yuanyi does not regard himself as a member of Xinxiang, so when he considers the problem, he is not completely on the side of Xinxiang like Wang Haoran and Song Xiance. After seeing the power of the Tiger Guard, the first thing he thought about was not how to exert this power, but how to fight such an opponent if he encountered it.

Then he noticed that the biggest weakness of this army, which was armed by Nanhai Boyu Guozhen with practical learning: supply.

"Yes, it's a supply!" Song Xiance next to him was reminded by him, and then frowned: "This is a big problem, you should pay attention to it." ”

Wang Haoran also suddenly realized that in just five minutes, each tiger guard fired at least ten bullets, and based on the total of 2,500 people who fired, 25,000 pieces of ammunition were poured out. Wang Haoran forgot the details, but he thought that each tiger guard would not have too much ammunition on his body, and thirty rounds was the limit, if so, the supply might not be able to keep up with the material consumption at such a speed!

Of course, that refers to something that only happens after a long battle with a stubborn enemy after going deep into enemy territory, and for now...... The left battalion had completely collapsed.

The officers and men of the left battalion who escaped saw that there were cavalry outflanks on the north and south, and the east was the camp they had just abandoned, so the only place to escape was to the west. Not far to the west was Bailu Lake, and the continuous reeds and aquatic plants could provide them with sufficient cover, so a large number of officers and men of the left battalion fled to that side, and some knelt down and begged for mercy.

Yu Guozhen had already signaled that no prisoners would be kept, so the fate of the kneeling was already sealed.

Zuo Mengeng was mixed in with the officers and soldiers of the left battalion who fled to the west, in terms of number, they still had the advantage, there were more than 10,000 people, but the elite of the original battalion had been taken away by Zuo Liangyu, and now they were beaten by the tiger guard, who would dare to turn back and fight?

Others don't know who the enemy is, but Zuo Mengeng is very clear, this kind of tactics is the same as the Huguang soldiers he attacked before, and the firepower is more ferocious. He also seized a few firearms from Huguang soldiers, and after bringing them back and trying them, he couldn't put them down, so he was not unfamiliar with this kind of musket.

"How can they be so domineering, how can they be so bold?" At this time, Zuo Mengeng completely forgot about his arrogant and domineering actions, and his heart was terrified, and he fled into the lake in the crowd.
