Chapter 152: Annihilation

Today's fifth chapter, 15,000 words, the gunman's hands trembled, his eyes were black, and only one mouth was left to be stable, and he shouted, there is a ticket?

Yuan Chenghun, the general of the Fuzhou Army stationed in Hailing, did not take the rebellion of the salt workers in Wankou in his eyes, a group of mud legs without any training, even if they killed the officers and soldiers in Wankou, how many weapons could they have, at most hundreds of spears and hundreds of knives, they didn't have arrows, they didn't have crossbows, and they didn't have battle formations? Jokes, do these mud legs understand? It's just a drum.

Thinking so in his heart, but he didn't say so on his lips, in front of Qin Zuhai, he looked embarrassed and told the other party that there were tens of thousands of salt workers in Wankou, and there were tens of thousands of people just in their strength, and the 3,000 soldiers in his hands were insufficient. And for a long time, the army has not changed its equipment, the soldiers' knives are rusty, the spear shafts are broken as soon as they are forced, the crossbow strings are soft and weak, and the war horses are old and weak.

Qin Zuhai's heart was dripping blood, if he dared to tell Xiang Dashuai about this, would he still need to invite you, Qiu Ba? Three thousand soldiers? It's good that you Yuan Cheng has 2,000 soldiers in your hands, don't think that this county doesn't know that you have eaten a vacancy, and the military funds allocated have fallen into your pockets, and those brand-new weapons are probably sold to those gentry armed by you, right?

I hated in my heart, but I still had to smile on my face, I said a good thing and a basket, and finally exchanged 50,000 taels of silver for Yuan Cheng's troops, seeing Yuan Cheng smile with satisfaction, Qin Zuhai hated it so much, most of the 50,000 taels of silver had to be paid for by himself.

Deng Peng watched coldly, this matter is not his turn to be a sailor, and now the strength in his hands is not as good as Yuan Cheng, although his grade is much higher than Yuan Cheng, but in Hailing, his actual right to speak is not as good as Yuan Cheng. Seeing Yuan Cheng's relaxed appearance, Deng Peng couldn't help but remind: "General Yuan, don't be careless, although it is just a riot of some salt workers, but you should also be careful, the rebellion in the three southern states was also started by some peasants, and it has not been lost so far." It has become a big trouble for the imperial court. ”

Yuan Cheng smiled and arched his hand to Deng Peng, "Vice General Deng rest assured, some thieves, how can you mess with my Hailing, you just wait and see, I will be ready today, I will send troops early tomorrow morning, and I will return triumphantly the day after tomorrow, hang those thieves and their heads on the city wall of the county seat, and see if anyone dares to make trouble!" ”

Deng Peng looked at Yuan Cheng's freehand face, shook his head helplessly, stood up and smiled at Qin Zuhai, strode out, his own sailor also had to make some necessary preparations, in case Yuan Cheng missed, the riotous salt workers would inevitably take the opportunity to attack Hailing, his own sailor could not suffer from the pond fish, on the water, he was a dragon, but on land, he was not enough to be gnawed.

Faintly, Deng Peng always felt that something was wrong. But I don't know what to do.

At noon the next day, Yuan Cheng and his troops arrived at the mouth of the bay, looking at the low and simple city wall that had appeared out of thin air, they were dumbfounded, but they also shook their heads and smiled, looking from him, behind the simple city wall, more people were holding wooden sticks and bamboo guns, and only a very few people were holding spears and knives, and they were wearing Kai armor, which must have been taken from the killed soldiers.

The horsewhip pointed at the opposite side, and Yuan Cheng smiled: "Such thieves, it is a shame that Deputy General Deng still looks down on them." ”

The guards beside him sneered and said: "My lord is right, with my lord's might, these thieves have not taken it down in one fell swoop." My lord, are you going to attack? ”

Yuan Cheng looked up at the head, "On this day of the dog's day, it was really hot, tell the brothers, after rushing in, follow their will, anyway, these thieves are all damned." ”

"Okay!" The guards excitedly ran to give the order, and the general's words were not to tell them that they didn't have to care about any military discipline after breaking the bay mouth, and they could do whatever they wanted! Of course, there is no money for these mud legs, but the girls must be indispensable.

Sure enough, hearing Yuan Cheng's order, the soldiers who were lazy and lazy suddenly became excited, their eyes lit up, staring at the low wall opposite, their eyes flashing with greed.

"Attack!" Yuan Cheng waved his horsewhip, but he got off his horse and walked to a shade of a tree, where a stool had already been set up by his own soldiers. Waiting for him to sit down, fanning him diligently, and telling jokes to amuse the general.

Xiong Dewu nervously looked at the swarming Fuzhou army on the opposite side, the spear shaft in his hand trembled slightly, and the sweat oozing out made the spear shaft slippery and greasy to hold, he tore off a piece of clothing with a loud sound, wrapped it in his hands layer by layer, tied the spear shaft tightly to his hands, and said to several people around him: "Tell the villagers, if you hold the city wall, you can live, take a step back, not only will we die, but the whole family will die." Let's fight with the dog officers and soldiers! ”

"Fight! Fight! Tens of thousands of young men held wooden sticks and bamboo guns, poured onto the city wall, and stared angrily at the Fuzhou army rushing over.

The sound of feather arrows breaking through the air was heard whizzing, although the Fuzhou army was chaotic, but they would not forget how to attack the city wall, although they did not have any siege equipment, but such a simple city wall really did not need those large siege equipment, I am afraid that a few people rushed up, and a joint collision would also knock the city wall open. Under the cover of archers and crossbowmen, rows of foot soldiers rushed up with cats on their waists, shouting.

The saltworkers, who had no military training, rushed up to the city with all their blood, and they were immediately baptized by a rain of arrows, and the whizzing feathered arrows fell, and from time to time there were screams and people on the walls of the city fell. But then more rushed forward.

Xiong Dewu crouched on the city wall, looking at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer, his face distorted, "Susu, see that I have avenged you!" He muttered in his heart, until the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were clearly visible, and saw that the other party was climbing towards the city wall, he roared, Huo Di stood up, with all his strength, stabbed the spear in his hand, with a bang, the hand felt astringent, the officer and soldier in front of him opened his eyes wide, fell down, the spear was withdrawn, and a puddle of blood splashed on Xiong Dewu.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!" He screamed and stabbed his spear again.

"Kill the dogs!" There was a tsunami-like response around him. Rows of climbing soldiers were stabbed under the city walls, with bamboo guns stuck in their bodies that they had not seen at all, and some of them were struck with wooden sticks that had been smashed from the face.

The thunderbolt-like roar on a sunny day startled Yuan Cheng, who was enjoying the cool air under the tree, stood up and looked at the battlefield not far away, his face suddenly darkened, and under the low city wall, a group of his own soldiers had already fallen, and the defense that he thought could be taken down was still standing still.

"Bastard!" Yuan Cheng said angrily, "Go and tell Huang Xiaoming that if the next wave of attacks hasn't entered yet, bring me his own head!" ”

The attack and defense of the mouth of the bay became more and more fierce as time passed, and at this time, less than a mile from the mouth of the bay, a thousand of his horsemen led by the mountain wind were hiding there.

"It's time to do it!" Luo Yugang said anxiously, "There are 3,000 soldiers and horses in a battalion of the Fuzhou Army, and when it comes to tea, the old bear must not be able to hold it, in case they break through the barrier, it is completely powerless and weak!" ”

Guo Shanfeng shook his head, "Xiao Luozi, you underestimate these salt workers too much, it is unimaginable for a person to burst out of despair with combat power, and at this time, Yuan Cheng did not do his best, he still has reserves that have not moved!" After all, we only have a thousand horsemen, and we can only drive the sheep by stabbing him at the most critical time and completely disrupting his team! Now that kid still has a whole wing left unmoved, let the cavalry charge the infantry in formation, and our losses will be great. ”

"But old bear, they ......" Luo Yugang wanted to say something, but Guo Shanfeng raised his hand and stopped him, "Xiao Luozi, you were sent by the Statistical Survey Department to cooperate with my actions, didn't Director Qingfeng tell you that all actions must be under my command, and you have no right to speak in the command of the army." I know when we will be able to act, we are going to achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost, I only have this thousand people, I can't afford to lose, do you understand? ”

Luo Yugang lowered his head and stopped talking.

Yuan Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, his soldiers attacked the city wall several times, but they were driven down several times, the group of mud legs were simply a group of crazy people, scratching their teeth and biting their waists and twisting their legs, doing everything they could, but there was only one purpose, to drive their soldiers off the city wall. With a black face, he stepped onto his horse, and to the reserves that had not been launched, he gave the order to the center wing, "Charge!" ”

The Fuzhou army is different from the Dingzhou army, there are not so many war horses, Yuan Cheng has a battalion, and only his center wing has two hundred cavalry, that is his lifeline, and it is also the elite that he has spent a lot of money to build, these cavalry got the order, let out a shout, knocked on the horse's belly, and rushed into the battlefield at a gallop, with the input of this new force, Xiong Dewu and others could not resist immediately, the low city wall could not block the impact of the war horse at all, just a slight jump, the war horse jumped over the obstacle and fell into the city wall, The footmen who followed closely followed screamed and rushed forward, and the walls were broken.

"It's now!" As soon as the wind whistled, more than a thousand of his cavalry immediately turned over and got on their horses.

"Attack!" The mountain wind ordered loudly.

Yuan Cheng's previous anger was gone, he sat on his horse, waved the big knife in his hand, easily cut off the salt workers in front of him, and went straight forward. By this time, the organized resistance of the salt workers had completely collapsed, and the entire battlefield was plunged into a melee, and the unprotected salt workers were immediately slaughtered, easily cut down and stabbed by the fully armored soldiers.

"It's really vulnerable!" He said in his heart.

There was a rumbling sound on the battlefield, and Yuan Cheng's heart jumped, this was a sign that appeared when the cavalry of the brigade was attacking, could it be that the marshal of Fuzhou knew the news and sent a personal guard battalion? In the entire Fuzhou Army, only the Marshal's personal guard battalion has so many war horses. When he looked back, he couldn't help but be frightened, and his whole body froze completely on his horse.

This is a team with messy clothes and armor, and it is completely impossible to see where it is sacred, but it is a cavalry of more than a thousand people, Hailing, where did such a powerful cavalry come from? Watching them cut into their own ranks like cutting their heads, scattering the soldiers, and then slashing and killing their own soldiers in a good time, Yuan Cheng was completely stupid.

"Half a day of clouds is coming, Xiao Luozi is back!" Xiong Dewu was covered in blood and had been wounded in many places, but he still struggled to swing the spear in his hand to resist the enemy's attack.

The rumbling horses' hooves, the earth-shattering shouting kill, only took a short sprint, the mountain wind killed Yuan Cheng's subordinates, where did these soldiers who had fought with the barbarians to the death see such a weak Fuzhou army in their eyes, rampage, knives up and down, each time took away a surname, in an instant, the Fuzhou army was killed.

"Half a day cloud is coming, half a day cloud is coming!" The surviving salt workers wept with joy and shouted loudly with all their might.

"What kind of person is Bantianyun, Bantianyun?" Yuan Cheng was in a daze, running all the way with the rout, he had not come back to his senses at this time, from a big victory to an instant defeat, the taste of the gap was not for outsiders.

Behind him, the horse's hooves suddenly sounded, and when the soldiers looked back, they couldn't help but scatter, and a fierce man brandished a mace and led several people to rush over.

"General, run!" The pro-soldiers shouted. But how can the war horses that they have not seen for a long time under their crotch be compared with the grassland war horses selected by the mountain wind and others, they were caught up in a moment, and the mountain wind mace waved, smashing them off the horse one by one like smashing watermelons, poor Yuan Cheng, under the blow of the mountain wind, his whole head fell into the neck cavity, and he didn't snort, and fell off the horse.
