Chapter 668: After the Great Victory!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Another wave of shells hit, and dozens of large and small iron balls smashed into the infantry formation of the intruding army, and these infantry soldiers were not much better than the hungry soldiers, and the picture was equally miserable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the face of iron-blooded cannonballs, manpower is really not as good as the tofu scum project.
At this moment, life is so fragile.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Another wave of shells arrived with a whistling roar, but it was smashed into the position of the thieves' Chinese army, which was a dense place for the army horse team and the old camp army horses.
is obviously an elite old battalion of people, but in the face of shells, it is still vulnerable.
The battle-hardened soldiers of the old battalion could not withstand the power of the shells, and they were beaten to death on their horses, maimed or lost their lives in vain. Scenes of miserable howls and screams can be seen everywhere!
The old battalion soldiers can be said to be the essence of the essence of the army, and the fighter among the soldiers. The death and injury made the generals of the army feel distressed, but now they are broken one by one. There is no way to rescue it, this blow is too big!
At this moment, the artillery of the Zhu family army seemed to cover the entire position of the breaking army, making them feel that no place was safe.
Another wave of shells whistled, crackling fractures, and people neighing, each time causing only a few casualties of hundreds or nearly a thousand.
Even if there are more than 100,000 people, how long can they hold on?
At the moment, the only hope that Gao Yingxiang was looking forward to was that the cannon heard that there was a cooldown time, and it was impossible to fire continuously all the time.
Finally, the shelling stopped.
Li Zicheng and the others were overjoyed, thinking that it was possible that the opportunity had come?
However, one side eye only found out. In front and on the side, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and thousands of cavalry of the Zhu family army rushed towards their positions.
In the chaotic army of thieves, there was a bang, and the entire front army collapsed. Then the tidal wave of collapse and commotion spread to the infantry formation, and then to the Chinese army. I can't plan a regular military formation anymore!
It turned out that when the Zhu Jiajun saw that the time had come, they launched a charge, not their time.
The earth trembled, the sound of tidal hooves sounded, the invading army had already collapsed, and there were soldiers shouting and fleeing for their lives everywhere, Gao Yingxiang and others were dead, but they just thought in their hearts: "Defeated like this?" Another defeat? ”
Half a day has passed!
The hundreds of thousands of thieves besieging the city, under the hard pursuit of Zhu Jiajun and Chen Yongfu, only more than 5,000 people escaped from the tens of thousands of soldiers in the end, and most of them were old battalions and horse teams.
In this battle, nearly 40,000 soldiers were captured, and the rest were cannon fodder civilians, with more than 600,000 taels of gold and silver, which was obviously captured by the intruders near Ruzhou.
However, after the success, the grain and grass were only less than a thousand stones.
The army of 100,000 people only had this bit of food left, and it was obvious that the soldiers were about to run out of food, so it was no wonder that they were so anxious to attack Ruzhou City.
In addition, there were many swords, guns, bows and arrows of average quality seized, as well as more than 5,000 horses and mules.
Among these harvests, the average quality of knives, guns, bows and arrows, Li Zilong gave all to Chen Yongfu and others. The silver was divided equally, and the other horses and mules of more than 5,000 were all owned by Zhu Jiajun.
Although the officials and soldiers defending the city were very angry, everyone could see who had the most credit for this battle.
Besides, even if you want to rob it, you can't rob Zhu Jiajun!
Think about it, in this battle, the casualties of officers and soldiers were extremely light, and such a great victory was achieved at such a small cost, all because of the participation of the Zhu family's army.
The combat effectiveness of the Zhu family army is so strong, no one can be the enemy, and no one will have two hearts at all.
The news of the victory in Ruzhou was immediately played in the court, and the drums in the city rang out in unison, and firecrackers were made. Zhizhou Qian Zuozheng held a celebration banquet, and the city was jubilant for several days. The people and the sergeants rejoiced!
When the Ruzhou victory report documents, all the way to the city, the first stop is Luoyang.
For a time, the lands of Luoyang shook, and all the prefectures were preaching about it. The good news reached the Beijing Division, and the cabinet ministers were not surprised by the victory of the Zhu family's army. Maybe in their hearts, Zhu Jiajun can't win a big victory, but it's a strange thing, okay?
Although the good news said that this battle was a joint effort of Zhu Jiajun, Chen Yongfu, and Qian Zuozheng, the princes of the court and the central government knew what was going on at a glance.
However, knowing is one thing, how to reward is another.
You must know that the tradition of civilian officials controlling the army and military generals has been passed down for more than 200 years, and many officials are very dissatisfied with the Zhu Jiajun, an army that used to only listen to the emperor and the dragon marquis of the four seas.
So, as a result, they really split the credit into three.
Just as there was a big win here, bad news came as well.
Yang Sichang ordered Zuo Liangyu to enter Sichuan nine times to suppress him, but Zuo Liangyu ignored the orders sent and did not move in Huguang. The rest are either incompetent or domineering, leading to a big deal in Sichuan!
This gave Zhang Xian, who was flowing over there by different routes, all kinds of chances to succeed.
No, along the road, his troops captured dozens of county towns, robbed countless gold, silver, grain and grass, and even heard that he even got artillery in hand. As a result, wherever he passed, there were no fireworks within a thousand miles.
Yang Sichang was even more angry when he got the news of Zhu Jiajun's victory in Ruzhou. Because in his cognition, Zhu Jiajun, who was quite obedient, also acted on his own.
Forcibly swallowing blood, he ordered to come again many times, so that the Zhu family army could meet him quickly.
However, the Fu King in Luoyang City was worried about his life. He also kept writing to the court to arrange for Zhu Jiajun to be stationed here for a few days.
As a result, the DPRK-China forces have shown a kind of glue pulling strength.
In the end, Li Zilong thinks that Yang Sichang doesn't give money or food, who do you think he is?
My Zhu Jiajun's family background is for him to defeat? He thought he was the Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas?
So, soon, the army was still marching towards Luoyang.
Luoyang City is a land of relatives, and King Fu is the uncle of the current emperor. From Ruzhou to Luoyang, it is necessary to pass through some mountainous areas, which is inconvenient to transport, and there are supplies to Luoyang City, so Li Zilong temporarily stored some of the stolen grain, grass, cattle and sheep in Ruzhou.
Of course, artillery and gunpowder and other baggage, logistics and so on must be with the army.
Qian Zuozheng was very happy that Zhu Jiajun had left some logistics personnel here to guard the supplies. In his opinion, these people are called baggage soldiers, but they are very elite. Much stronger than the average Ming soldier. With their help in defending the city, the Liukou will make a comeback, and Qian Zuozheng will be sure to hold it for a long time.
Before leaving, Li Zilong asked Qian Zuozheng how to deal with the 40,000 thieves and prisoners.
Qian Zuo replied: "A thief is also a child, and he was once a good citizen, if they are willing to change their evil and return to righteousness." The imperial court should give them a chance to be a new person and make the land their home. ”
Other officials also agreed with Qian Zuozheng's opinion, and Li Zilong just looked at them deeply and didn't say anything more.
Although he was worried, Li Zilong's guest army passed by, and his level was not as big as that of others, so he couldn't manage so much.
