Chapter 833: Sea of Fire
The dust is too big, the order is too chaotic, and after waiting for a long time, Liu Liangzuo's army has only passed more than 1,000 people and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep. As for the 1,000 cavalry who had opened the way in front of them, they had already been squeezed out of sight by the messy cattle.
Sun Yuan waited a little impatiently, in fact, it was really helpless to face such a bad army.
Because they don't line up in a neat line to pass through the open space below like a normal army, you can easily tell who is the striker, who is the middle army, who is the logistics baggage team, and who is the rearguard.
You'll also know where to strike and when to launch it.
This situation is like a sentence in the martial arts of later generations: flaws are no flaws.
There were too many large animals, and the concussions from the ground were getting worse and worse. The wind blew on the face, and in addition to the smell of animal feces, it began to heat up gradually, and it was a little uncomfortable.
As a group of men and horses passed, at this time, about a thousand cavalry drove over, attracting Sun Yuan's attention.
This group of cavalrymen still had excellent armor on their bodies, pulling their horses and walking neatly. And they were all arrogant, shouting at their companions in front of them, telling them to go quickly and not get in the way.
The enemy in front understood what was being said, but the brutes did not, especially the buffaloes, who, when whipped, not only did not see the speed, but mooed and shook their long horns impatiently.
Soon, the thousand people were blocked here again
。
A large banner embroidered with the word "Liu" came from behind, and under it was a thin general in ornate armor.
Tang Wenxing pointed at the man and whispered, "General, that's Liu Liangzuo." ”
"Okay, it's good to find the main master, pass the order, and tell the soldiers to prepare for battle." Sun Yuan shook his spirits: "Minibus, I want you to blast Liu Liangzuo to pieces." ”
At this time, Liu Liangzuo's face was tired, and his brows were tightly locked.
Under him rode a black and white flowered river meandering horse, tall and majestic, half a head taller than the war horses of the guards next to him, looking extremely powerful.
It is worthy of being a flower horse Liu, and the war horse is good. Sun Yuan was a little impressed, his mount had just been begged for by King Fu, and it would be good if he could get this war horse. It's a pity that when the buried gunpowder explodes, and then the cannon fires, it is estimated that this divine horse will also be turned into pieces along with its owner, which is a pity.
Liu Liangzuo was riding on a war horse, and his body was already covered with a layer of yellow, and it was all dust. Still, he managed to straighten his waist like a javelin. There is a fierce aura that is extremely incommensurate with his figure, and the generals who can become famous in this troubled era are not brave people who are not killed by the sea of corpses and blood.
In fact, in real history, after Liu Liangzuo surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as the vanguard of the Jiannu and Ming Dynasty, he made a lot of contributions on the battlefield. Dealing with the Ming army, he is very set, and his performance is similar to that of the previous thieves.
Because of this, Sun Yuan made up his mind to take his name this time, and the systematic surrender of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a traitor began with this person. However, this Liu Liangzuo made an extremely bad start.
"Put!" Sun Yuan pulled out the handcuff on his waist and shot it into the sky.
The sound of this gunshot echoed in the valley, and he saw Liu Liangzuo turn his head sharply to look at the hill, his eyes full of sharp light.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
A flowering egg shot down the hillside and landed on a predetermined impact point. There was a lot of black powder buried in that place.
"Boom!" A blaze spread out among the cows, sheep, and crowd below.
Standing on the hill, Sun Yuan could clearly see the flames exploding right under a buffalo
。
The buffalo in the head was instantly blown up by the granulated black powder produced in Yangzhou Town, and its abdomen was torn to pieces in the air, and the minced meat and blood poured down like a torrential rain, and instantly covered the bottom with that piece of red.
This was just the beginning, and then there were three or four more explosions. The air wave swept away a group of people and goats, and at the same time set fire to the surrounding vegetation.
Smoke rose into the sky, and a large herd of frightened horses, cattle and sheep fled in all directions, trampling Liu Liangzuo's troops to the ground one by one in an attempt to restore order, trampling them into powder.
At the same time, on the hillside, the soldiers of the artillery battalion loaded the shells into the chambers as fast as they could, and then fired them out.
There is almost no need to aim, no need to calculate ballistic trajectories and distances, and as long as you shoot a shell, you can easily hit a target, whether it is a person or an animal.
There was no need to charge, there were all big livestock running wildly below, and Liu Liangzuo's thousands of people and horses were in it, and they were swallowed up in an instant. They had all led their horses on foot when they had just marched, and in this sudden madness, they had no time to mount their horses.
At this time, even if the Ningxiang cavalry rushes down, it is estimated that they will be trampled under the feet of the crazy big animals, right?
The banner of the enemy's Chinese army has fallen, and Liu Liangzuo is no longer visible. Sun Yuan couldn't help laughing: It really didn't take a single soldier to annihilate Liu Liangzuo's main force, Fu Qing made a good plan, and it was impossible for Huama Liu to be spared.
In the barren grass and woods on the side of the road, Sun Yuan had already placed sulfur saltpeter and fire oil in advance, and the weather suddenly became cold in the past few days, and the climate was very dry, and as soon as the fire burned, it was out of control.
In the blink of an eye, the red flames swept away in both directions like a flood that burst the embankment, turning the valley below and the flat land into a hell of fire.
The great crowd of enemies fled among the red-eyed cattle and sheep, but unfortunately it was too crowded, and the strength of men was no match for that of cattle and horses, and no matter how hard they tried their best, they still ran very slowly.
All the soldiers threw away their weapons and quickly took off their armor, trying to lighten their weight. It was so crowded that many people couldn't run a few steps before they were engulfed in flames. One by one, they screamed loudly and rolled on the ground, and then they were made up by the hooves and legs of the cows.
In addition to the choking smoke in the air, there is also a strange smell of meat, and I don't know if it is cattle and sheep or human meat
。
The enemy was completely out of formation, but even so, the artillery refused to give up and continued to fire shells.
It was so hot that many people were naked, and sweat dripped onto the barrels of the guns, making a popping sound.
It wasn't until the heat wave down the mountain rolled back and detonated a barrel of gunpowder that the startled artillerymen hurriedly collected the bronze cannon and retreated.
Everything became scorching, and the armor on his body was burned hot, and hot sweat poured out like a fountain of water.
Sun Yuan rode on his horse and watched the scene quietly with the soldiers.
Occasionally, a few of Liu Liangzuo's soldiers escaped from the sea of fire and rushed up the mountain in darkness, but when they saw the Ningxiang army waiting for them, they were all stunned, and then knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Their hands and faces were full of large bubbles, and some of them were even burned to the point that their flesh was turned upside down, and their eyes were full of panic and despair.
The soldiers of the cavalry army were all killing gods, so some drew their sabers, jumped into their saddles, and tried to behead the enemies one by one.
Sun Yuan suddenly couldn't bear it in his heart, sighed, and ordered loudly: "Permission to surrender, medics, give them medicine!" ”
"Oh my God!" Seeing this tragic situation, Father Garcia couldn't help but make a cross on his chest, rushed forward with a group of medics, and quickly medicated Liu's wounded soldiers.
After the wound medicine was applied to his body and wrapped in gauze, the soldiers of Liu Liangzuo's department felt the pain, and knelt on the ground one by one and cried loudly: "My mother, my mother!" ”
"Kill me, kill me, kill me!"
……
Garcia put his hand on the head of a wounded soldier and comforted: "My brother, the Lord in heaven will bless you." It's good to hurt, it's good to hurt, it means you're still alive. Believe in the Lord! ”
……
Suddenly, there was a chaotic battle in the east.
A herald came and said that about 300 horsemen had escaped from the sea of fire, and Mr. Qingzhu was leading his men and horses to block the end
。 However, looking at Mr.'s posture, he couldn't resist it, so he asked the general to send reinforcements over quickly.
"How is that possible?" Tang Wenxing couldn't help but shout: "When did Liu Liangzuo's soldiers be able to fight so well that they even asked Mr. Qingzhu to send someone over for help?" ”
The herald's face was panicked: "Those more than 300 enemy horsemen were nothing, but there were tens of thousands of buffaloes behind them that were burned madly. ”
Sun Yuan smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect this fire to help the enemy burn a fire bull array." Tang asked OK. ”
"The end will be."
"You bring a thousand cavalrymen from the nine sides to help the green master." Most of the horsemen from the Nine Sides knew the temper of the cattle and how to calm the manic cattle.
In fact, the battle is over, and all that remains is how to put these cattle and sheep in one place and bring them back to Yangzhou Town.
Tang asked Xingyi and hesitated: "General, now there are only a thousand cavalry around you, if the last general is taken away, and the enemy suddenly kills, what should I do?" ”
Sun Yuan laughed, pointed to the valley below that was already burned red, and asked rhetorically: "Where did the enemy come from, from below?" If the enemy can reorganize his troops and horses from that sea of fire, then our army doesn't have to fight this battle, just escape, right? ”
Tang Wenxing thought for a while: "Yes, the last general thinks too much." ”
Sun Yuan: "Go, go, it's too late." It's nothing to walk more than 300 enemy horsemen, the key is the 10,000 buffaloes, you have to get them all back for me. One less, I'll deduct it from you. "The buffalo is the most valuable means of production in this era, and it can be said that without the cow, agricultural production would not be possible. In the early Ming Dynasty, killing cattle was a serious crime. After the death of a cow, the people cannot dispose of the dead cow on their own, and they need to report it to the government and explain the cause of death. After checking that there are no mistakes, the government also collects the horns, cowhides, and tendons, which are all raw materials for making armor and bows.
Tang Wenxing was startled, a buffalo was worth more than ten taels of silver. His year's salary, plus the reward after meritorious service on the battlefield, was only 3,000 taels. If more than 10,000 buffaloes run out, even if they are bankrupt, it will not be enough to compensate.
"The last will go." After that, he took the troops and hurried away.
