Chapter 171: Cangzhou Relief (I)

Looking at the mountain and running dead horses, there are no mountains in the North China Plain, Zhu Youcheng only saw the tall city wall of Cangzhou City, but even if he saw the city wall, let go of the horsepower, and ran for more than an hour, they did not run to Cangzhou City.

When he arrived four miles away from the city, although it was not yet dark, Zhu Youcheng still announced that he would set up camp.

Chen Guoqi asked strangely: "My lord, this place is very close to Cangzhou City, and you can reach Cangzhou City in a quarter of an hour at most, why don't you enter the city?" ”

Zhu Youcheng knew that Chen Guoqi had not experienced a big battle and was not thoughtful, so he said: "How to enter the city?" 50,000 chaotic people surrounded Cangzhou City, do you think a normal guard will let us in? I'm afraid the gates of the city will be easy to open, but not to be closed. ”

Wu Huping asked: "My lord, it's still early, why don't you go a little further?" It would be nice to go a little further. In this way, the soldiers defending the city will have more confidence in seeing that we are defending the city, and they will be able to defend the city even more. In this place, there was a large village in front of us, and the houses blocked our barracks, and we could not be seen from the city. ”

"This is the location I chose to camp at for the purpose of concealment. There is no human activity in the village 500 steps away, and eighty percent of them have been plagued by bandits, so our whereabouts are not easy to expose. It will soon be dark, whether it is the Cangzhou defenders or the rebellious people, they all have night blindness, they can't see the military flag of our army clearly, and it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble if they are too close to the city. Chen Guoqi, release the scouts, don't let the scouts of the chaotic people appear in our army. Wu Huping, closely monitor Cangzhou City, if Cangzhou City falls, lead a thousand elite soldiers to rescue the people. As long as they make it until tomorrow morning, I'm going to surprise them. Now attacking the rebellious people, firstly, our soldiers have not rested well, and secondly, they are easily injured by the defenders of the city. ”

The two generals ordered the account to come out, and Ke Qingqing asked, "Brother Cheng, what will I do tomorrow?" Cooked for a few days. My hands are calloused. I'm a brave general, and I've been specially trained in the barracks. ”

As she spoke, she stretched out a pair of white and tender soft wattles, pinched her pink fist, and shook it in front of Zhu Youcheng.

King Xin also shook his head and said, "Brother Cheng can't forget me. Hmph, don't take me with me what was so exciting this morning. Ah Jian was very angry. ”

Watching the two of them sing and harmonize, Zhu Youcheng smiled dumbly and said, "How can I forget the two of you." Tomorrow, the two of you have a heavy task - to stay in the camp. ”

King Xin and Ke Qingqing shook their heads together in opposition, the sound was higher than the other, seeing that Zhu Youcheng did not react, the two played Lai, holding Zhu Youcheng's arm and shaking it left and right, shaking Zhu Youcheng into a tumbler.

Zhu Youcheng broke away from the hands of the two. Said: "Tomorrow morning, I will lead Wu Huping, Chen Guoqi and 1,500 Jinyi guards to attack the rebels from behind, and the two of you will lead 500 Jinyi guards to stay in the camp." Not muddy is a generation of heroes, and now there are reinforcements in Cangzhou, and they will definitely attack our camp. Guard yair, and do not despise the enemy. ”

King Xin said: "What if the ghost thing doesn't come tomorrow if it doesn't get muddy?" Isn't there no war to fight? And Brother Cheng once said that he would accompany and protect me for life, why would he go to war alone tomorrow? ”

"Brother Makoto assures you. Tomorrow's battle, you must have a fight. Tomorrow we are going to war on horseback. Ah Jian your riding skills are not good, if you fall off the horse, it will be trouble. The nest is our foundation, ammunition, food, inspection, and Qingqing are all here, do you have the confidence to defend it? ”

Zhu Youcheng pointed out the importance of the task, and the king of letters replied with disgust. Nodding vigorously.

"Brother Cheng, the forces of the rebels seem to be very sufficient, there are only 5oo people, can we hold it?" Ke Qingqing asked a little worriedly.

"You can hold it. 5oo people are 5oo firearms, one round down. At least more than 100 people fell, and 1,000 people in ten rounds. The bandits are a collection of interests, if there is a hundredfold gain, of course they will move forward, but if the hundredfold benefits need to pay the price of life, they will scatter in a hurry. In front of our breezed rifling guns, the bandits are bound to crumble. Besides, I left you with a tiger squat cannon. The Tiger Squat cannons were very heavy, but they were amazingly lethal, and I left them in the barracks. You've never seen the power of artillery. If one shot goes down, it will cost dozens or hundreds of lives, and the bandits will be scared to death, where will they dare to rush up. However, those forty gunners, who have obviously not been in battle, may escape tomorrow, and you must keep an eye on them. ”

The two nodded again.

All the soldiers have already received orders to have combat missions tomorrow morning, and they all go to bed early. Instead, the paramedics worked through the night, sterilizing bandages and surgical tools in boiling water to prepare for the rescue of the wounded tomorrow. In a big battle like tomorrow, there should be a lot of wounded soldiers, so you have to prepare in advance.

Early the next morning, Jin Yiwei had a full meal and was full of energy, waiting for Zhu Youcheng's order. Zhu Youcheng has been looking at Cangzhou City with binoculars, looking for fighters.

On the city wall of Cangzhou, Xu Ruzhi looked at the chaotic people tiredly, thousands of people rushed out there, and the tragic offensive and defensive battle was about to start again.

In the ranks of the rebellious people, Bu Mu frowned, and said: "If you can't capture Cangzhou City today, you will withdraw your troops and go to the nearby county seat." Lao Tzu's main force can't be dragged here all the time, if the imperial court sends more reinforcements and comes to meet the inside and outside, we will be finished. ”

A man who looked like a master twisted his mouse-like beard and said, "Don't worry, the king, Cangzhou City will be broken today." ”

He was overjoyed and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

"Yesterday, my lord, we attacked the city for the third time. I remember the first time we attacked the city, our soldiers held out for less than a quarter of an hour and withdrew, the second time we attacked the city, we held out for half an hour, and yesterday we held out for two hours. ”

"Okay, send more men, beat the drums and order the soldiers to intensify the attack!"

On the city wall, Xu Ruzhi saw the overwhelming thieves carrying ladders and pushing siege vehicles towards the city wall, his heart was cold, and he said to Lu Ping miserably: "Brother Lu, it's time for us to be loyal to the country." ”

Lu Ping was arrogant and said: "People are born to die, sacrifice their lives for the country, and the heroic soul is immortal, you can enter the Ming Dynasty Martyrs' Temple and accept the sacrifice of all the people, it is better than dying on the sickbed." ”

Xu Ruzhi was arrogant and said, "Okay, let's be companions and enter the Ming Martyrs' Temple together." ”

The Ming Martyrs' Temple was established according to Zhu Youcheng's opinions, and the Ming Dynasty officials were commemorated to the state-owned meritorious Ming officials.

Suddenly, the two heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Although the thieves were numerous, they lacked horses, and the messengers rode to and fro on mules. Such a large cavalry team must have been sent by the imperial court to send reinforcements.

Xu Ruzhi hugged Lu Ping and jumped up: "Reinforcements!" Reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived! ”

Lu Ping shouted: "Soldiers, the imperial court has not forgotten us, the reinforcements have arrived, and Cangzhou City has been saved!" ”

The morale of the defenders on the wall was greatly boosted, and the dark clouds in their hearts were swept away.

The sound of horses' hooves did not stop, the cavalry was getting closer and closer, Xu Ruzhi could see clearly, the cavalry was wearing a golden helmet and a golden cotton armor, which was the standard clothing of the Ming brocade guards. When will Jinyiwei also fight, isn't the emperor in the deep palace deceived by Xu Xianchun's dog thing, thinking that Jinyiwei is invincible in the world? It's okay for Jinyiwei to bully the law-abiding people, but if you want to fight with bandits, no matter how many comes, it's not enough for people to kill.

Looking at the cavalry formation again, Xu Ruzhi was so angry that he almost scolded his mother. More than 1,000 people, scattered, like a big net covering the chaotic people, it is simply whimsical, you should have divine power to protect the body, one to fight ten. You are cavalry, and you should form a dense line, rush into the enemy's formation, disrupt the enemy's formation, and take the opportunity to cover up and kill when the enemy is not in formation. Even I, a civil official, know this truth. As a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, although you don't learn and don't know how to do it, you have always watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", okay, even if you haven't seen it, you have always heard it, how can you be stupid to do this.

When the Jinyi guards marched more than 400 steps away from the rebels, the sound of "bang bang" sounded in the ranks, and the sound of fire guns was endless, and the smoke of gunpowder rose from their ranks.

Lu Ping finally couldn't help it, burst into a foul mouth, and said angrily: "Which stupid pig is leading the team, the effective range of Daming's firearms is only a hundred steps, and he is so far away from setting fire, do you welcome him, or do you want to see him off?" ”

Xu Ruzhi and Lu Ping looked at each other and shook their heads, it seems that the ticket to the Ming Martyrs' Temple cannot be refunded for the time being, and maybe they will have to buy one for the Jinyi Wei Qianhu. It's just that going on the road with that stupid pig, no matter how you think about it, it's not happy.

But they didn't see that every time the Jinyi guard passed, there was always a rebel who fell to the ground, and after a few convulsions, he died.

Because they knew a little bit about Daming's firearms, when they charged, the rebels did not feel afraid, but hoped that the other party would put a few more guns. Because it takes a long time to reload, it takes a long time to put down a gun. When they approached the cavalry, it would be their own world. Don't stick to the mud, the battlefield seizures belong to individuals, and when the time comes, we will ride on horses, wear helmets and armor, and be majestic. But they didn't notice that there were fewer and fewer people around them. (To be continued!)
