One Hundred and Fifteen Black Clouds Crush the City (4)

The cowardice and escape of the soldiers in the southeast are also famous, those generals themselves are like this, it is no wonder that the guards have learned from each other and become survival experts, I think that Qi Jiguang was also pitted by the guards several times and almost lost his head, before he made up his mind to recruit new soldiers, so as to achieve immortal achievements, Fan Qing heard Zhu Kun say that Zheng Guang didn't even want Suzhou soldiers, and insisted on going to Yiwu to recruit troops to form another new army to level the Japanese, and when he still felt that Zheng Guang was making a big fuss, but now, Fan Qing didn't think so at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Guang was really prescient, he brought out 10,000 soldiers and horses, one of the eight main generals died, three escaped, and four remained hiding in the army and were unwilling to fight, 10,000 soldiers and horses were killed in a small encounter and a city defense battle, more than 800 people were killed in battle, more than 2,000 escaped, and more than 1,000 "wounded soldiers" ran away openly, and now there are 7,000 people in the full fight, and 4,000 Japanese soldiers and horses are flocking, and these soldiers and horses have no will to fight at all.

In the previous battle, under their own full preparation, those soldiers and horses seemed to have a little confidence, coupled with the existence of the Suzhou soldiers, a firearms unit that had defeated the Japanese invaders before, they still dared to go to the city to attack the Japanese invaders, and after beating the Japanese invaders away, they looked like they were the ones who had survived the catastrophe, and they thought about escaping, and they did not look confident after the victory at all, which made Fan Qing very depressed.

The only one who was a little brave and dared to fight, was Fan Qing brought out a thousand Suzhou soldiers from Suzhou, after the war, after Zhu Kun arrived, he adopted Zheng Guang's proposal, and asked for some firearms instructors from Zhejiang who were good at using firearms to teach Su Song's soldiers to use firearms. For more than a month, the results have been very good.

Fan Qing can clearly distinguish which of these soldiers are Suzhou soldiers, which are soldiers from other places, he asked one or two leading officers of Suzhou soldiers why they can insist on resisting, they said that Suzhou soldiers are soldiers brought out by Suzhou writers, they can't embarrass Xiao Zheng, and they can't let the expectations of Suzhou villagers be disappointed, so even if they are very afraid, but they just have firearms and city walls, they at least ensure that the Suzhou soldiers do not retreat.

Fan Qing couldn't help but sigh again and again, the guards have really reached their limit, and they can't continue to survive, otherwise, the situation is worrying!

With the remaining 7,000 soldiers who were still a little ashamed, Fan Qing guarded Kunshan to the death, such a posture made Chen Dong, a bandit under Xu Hai's command who rushed to come with the Japanese robbers, hesitate and puzzled, and asked the people around him: "The officers and soldiers have never dared to confront us head-on, even if they hide in the city, they are cowardly, what happened this time?" Who is defending the city? Can you actually beat Ye Mazi away? In addition to Zheng Guang, are there other capable people in the official army? ”

His subordinates replied to Chen Dongdao: "It seems that the previous prefect of Suzhou, who killed Lin Bichuan's Fan Qing with Zheng Guang." ”

Chen Dong frowned: "A big fish, Lao Tzu heard that this Fan Qing later became Su Song's military equipment, didn't he?" Su Song's second-in-command, it was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, he actually beat Ye Mazi away, and killed more than 500 brothers of Lao Tzu, this time, Lao Tzu had to give him to Bao Yuan'er! ”

The subordinates hesitated and said: "Boss, that's a prefect, a soldier, a member of the fourth grade, if you kill it, that group of people, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain, if they investigate it and throw us out, then the matter will be big, boss, think twice, robbery and temptation are the most important at this time, and the big boss also said, we are here to test the official army, not really to fight with the official army." ”

Chen Dong slapped the subordinate in the face, beating the man in a circle and falling to the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead: "Phew! Lao Tzu does things, you don't need to point fingers! Even if Xu Hai comes by himself, he must be polite to Lao Tzu for three points! Come on! Pass on Lao Tzu's orders! Push the artillery over! Bomb Lao Tzu in Kunshan! Doesn't he Fan Qing like to play with firearms? Lao Tzu plays with him! ”

As soon as Chen Dong gave the order, more than 30 high-powered artillery pieces bought from the Spaniards and the Portuguese were pushed up, and they were generously pushed into the firing range.

Fan Qing on the city wall had already seen the actions of these Japanese robbers, and Fan Qing, who was shocked by the powerful firepower of the Japanese robbers, instinctively felt that it was dangerous and felt that it was not a good thing, once his firepower was suppressed by the other party, then the unlucky one must be himself, so Fan Qing made a quick decision and decided to strike first, and immediately ordered: "The gunner ignites!" The crossbowmen aim at the pirate gunners and shoot !! ”

A loud shout, Fan Qing's order was issued, almost at the same time, Chen Dong's order was also issued, the gunners of the Japanese Kou collectively ignited and prepared to shoot, but the range and firing speed of the crossbow arrows were still above the artillery, Fan Qing gave an order, more than a thousand crossbow arrows shot out quickly, flying to the gunner's position, Chen Dong was arrogant, did not give the gunner any defensive measures, more than 100 gunners died in an instant, and the former Japanese Kou were also shot to death, Chen Dong planned to go forward to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the city, but the result was a failure to pretend to be forced and retreated in a hurry, which is not the arrow.

Almost at the same time, the artillery of the Japanese under the city and the artillery of the city head were fired at the same time, the bombardment, for a time the cannon sound was everywhere, the fireball rose into the air, the huge sound and shock wave made the city and the present a mess, the artillery position of the Japanese was destroyed, the gunners suffered heavy casualties, and the city head because of the cover of the city wall, the artillery had nothing to do, and the Suzhou gunners who were close to it had nothing to do, but a few gunners were blown off the city wall, and many soldiers were injured by air waves and gravel, and the city was also a mess.

Chen Dong pretended to be too forced to fail, and now he is very angry, after a burst of artillery fire, his artillery was completely killed, and the artillery was also destroyed a lot, so he was even more annoyed, and ordered: "Rush to Lao Tzu!" You must take Kunshan! After taking Kunshan! Slaughter the city for Lao Tzu!! ”

Fan Qing in the city was affected by the air waves, fell, got up and patted the soil on his body, looked at the widow who had obviously lost his mind, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he ordered again: "The gunner fires!" Crossbowmen fire! Don't stop! Stop the enemy in the city! Violators! Chop! ”

Suzhou gunners began to fire cannons unfatally, and the crossbowmen in the city also began to shoot wildly, pressing the Japanese to the point that they couldn't raise their heads, Chen Dong once sent a bunch of crossbowmen to the city to try to cover the siege team, but was overwhelmed by the more dense rain of arrows and artillery fire, whenever he wanted to send new gunners to control the artillery shooting, he would always be killed by arrows, or simply bombarded with people and cannons.

Chen Dong finally realized that Fan Qing was consciously destroying his siege vitality, forcing him to send people to attack the city with a cloud ladder and a rolling wooden stone, the result was that the cloud ladder and the rolling wood and stone were destroyed by the fire oil together, and the people made a barbecue together, after a fierce battle, Chen Dong, who had lost hundreds of corpses, had no choice but to lead the army to retreat, Fan Qing used all his strength and collapsed on the head of the city, without the momentum of the prefect and Su Song's troops.

That night, Fan Qing counted the number of people, and found that after repelling the Japanese invaders for the second time, more than 400 soldiers were killed in the city, and more than 1,000 people evaporated in the world, and now Fan Qing only has more than 5,000 soldiers in his hands.

Zhu Kun soon got the news from the front line, and learned that the non-combat attrition, that is, the deserters as many as more than 3,000 people, this is still under the premise that Fan Qing repelled the Japanese invaders twice in a row, and couldn't help but be furious, and set off overnight to find trouble with those soldiers at the garrison, but found nothing, whether it was the soldiers who stayed behind or the generals, they all said that they had never seen the fleeing soldiers come back, and they looked innocent, so that Zhu Kun almost got up.

"Fuliang, the old man finally understands why Pingzhi insists on going to Yiwu to recruit soldiers, no matter what, he doesn't want to use the guards anymore, and he doesn't even want to choose, these people, even the farmers, what's the use of keeping them, if these soldiers and horses come to be the main force to quell the rebellion, the old man would rather ask for the crime to go to his post now, whoever can clean up this gang of soldiers, whoever will come to get it!" Zhu Kun's face turned red, showing extreme anger.

Sun Ting said helplessly: "Even if the Japanese are cunning and fierce, they are not as threatening as the iron cavalry on the grassland, the main force of the Ming Dynasty is guarding the nine sides in the north, no matter how arrogant the Japanese are arrogant, they cannot threaten the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and the iron cavalry on the grassland can threaten the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Kun shook his head again and again: "No, the new army has only been trained for less than a month, and the old man gave Pingzhi three months, but now it is less than a month, how can the new army fight?" That's looking for death, the old man must not do this, not only harming Pingzhi, but also harming the old man himself, and the people of Susong who are harming are implicated. ”

Sun Ting hesitated: "But, Futai, if you don't send a new army, in the land of Susong, where are there still strong soldiers who can be dispatched as reinforcements?" Counting on those soldiers? Kunshan was slaughtered, and they haven't finished packing up and setting off! Futai, now is not to consider the question of whether the recruits are recruits or not, but the question of how to drive away this gang of Japanese robbers, Futai has just come to Susong to take office, and the jurisdiction of Songjiang Mansion is not timely, but Suzhou Mansion is the confidant of Futai, if Suzhou Mansion is broken, if there is a person with a heart to participate in a book, the future of Futai is worrying! ”
