Chapter 171: Cangzhou Relief (Part II)

Bu Mu originally had 50,000 horses, lost 5,000 during the siege, Zhu Youcheng's attack destroyed 5,000, and he sent 10,000 when he counterattacked, calculated, the team left by his side should have 30,000 people, and where did the 10,000 go? Needless to say, it must have attacked Zhu Youcheng's camp.

Because attacking the camp is a matter of importance, not only did he send out the elite, but also sent one of his two henchmen, one of his favorite generals, to fly on the grass. Flying on the grass is a fellow villager who is not muddy, since he has washed his legs and become a robber without mud, he can't get mud himself, so he gave himself a nickname Grass Fly.

Cao Shangfei led 10,000 people to the north of Cangzhou City, walking secretly, for fear of being revealed by Zhu Youcheng.

Leaving Cangzhou City, Caoshang flew to the east, west, and north to send scout horses to explore Jinyiwei's camp.

The camp of more than 2,100 people is large and easy to find. After a while, the Malay from the north reported: "There is a military camp six hundred steps behind Xiaohuangzhuang in the north." However, the camp is a bit strange, but it is not a festival, but the fence is full of lanterns. And the lantern is not a festive red, but a somewhat obscure white. ”

Grass Fei laughed and said, "They know that they are going to be unlucky, so they hang their filial piety for themselves in advance." ”

Cao Shangfei led the troops to break into Xiaohuangzhuang. No one in Xiaohuangzhuang came out to stop it, that's for sure. Xiaohuangzhuang was slaughtered by them long before the siege began, and all men, women, and children were killed, where was there anyone to stop them.

The troops came to the back of Xiaohuangzhuang, and Cao Shangfei saw a very large camp in the distance. Right in the middle of a wheat field.

"Damn, I don't care too much for the people's crops. The people's wheat had just been sown, and they had set up their camp in the middle of the wheat fields. It looks like this wheat field will be out of harvest next year. "Flying on the grass suddenly became like a child, and deplored the labor of the people. He had forgotten that the villagers of Xiaohuangzhuang, the owner of the wheat field, had already been killed by them, and even if the wheat was ripe, no one would come to harvest it.

"Yes, yes. This group of dog officials only knows how to bully the common people. Let's destroy him. Do the right thing for heaven! The thieves next to him echoed in unison.

All the thieves replied in a hurry, as if they were on the side of morality.

The sound of the answer alarmed the soldiers who were doing their work outside the camp. They retreated into the camp in enclaves, put out their horses, and closed the gates of the camp.

The thieves laughed wildly, and they couldn't imagine that Zhu Youcheng's soldiers who stayed behind in the camp were so cowardly.

The grass flies up to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. Hand build a pergola and look out at the camp.

Looking at it, the saliva flying on the grass flowed out, and said, "Women, they are all big beauties." Brothers, there are many women in the camp. First of all, the women who wear the clothes of the people will enjoy them, and none of the women in the military uniform will be able to move. When the king and I, as well as the second general, are used up, and then we will distribute them to you. ”

Thief Beast | One by one, they all puffed up their small tents and shouted: "My lord, what are you waiting for, give the order, we will charge." ”

When everyone shouted enthusiastically, they heard an "oops" sound on the big locust tree. The grass flew and fell. Fortunately, there were soldiers under the trees, who became mattresses for flying on the grass. Otherwise, this time, at least you can't take care of yourself.

One of the ghosts quipped, "The general must have been so excited that he hit the tree." The general really stood up to the sky, and the size of those words alone was the general's material. ”

Cao Shangfei ignored the man and said: "The camp is not hung with white lanterns, it is full of human heads, it seems that the ghost in the field and his subordinates are already more than lucky." ”

It turned out that when Zhu Youcheng was pulling, he cut off the head and took it away according to the usual practice - after the war, the rank had to be sent to the military department for inspection and calculation of military merits. When camping, anyone who sees that bunch of things is awkward. Chen Guoqi came up with an idea and hung the rank on the camp, saying that it could ward off evil spirits. Zhu Youcheng is not superstitious, but he has a bad taste, and he wants to scare the thieves who come to steal the camp and rob the village.

Cao Shangfei roared: "Brothers, avenge the ghosts in the ground!" ”

The thieves were armed with steel knives in their hands, and they didn't even have a formation, and rushed towards the camp of the Jinyi guards in a disorderly manner.

King Xin and Ke Qingqing had already prepared, and twenty tiger squatting cannons were stationed on all sides of the camp.

King Xin rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Brother Cheng really didn't lie to me, the chaotic people came to steal the camp and rob the village, see how I repair them." ”

Ke Qingqing was also very excited, and said, "After cooking for a few days, I finally got the opportunity to fight." ”

The other five hundred brocade guards were also very excited, as if what was coming in front of them was not a thief, but a silver coin or a medal. When they stayed in the camp, they were still a little disappointed, thinking that there was no chance to make meritorious contributions, and they didn't expect that the thieves would be empathetic and send military merits. They really wanted to thank the thieves loudly, but they didn't say anything because of the military regulations.

Contrary to them, the forty artillerymen transferred from the Beijing battalion fought in two strands one by one, their crotches suspiciously wet, and a few even tried to climb out of the camp and escape.

King Xin pulled out a mini embroidered spring knife, put it on the neck of a deserter, and said: "If you fight, you live, and if you run, you will die." Instead of letting the rebels cut you apart, I'll give you a good time now. ”

Although this embroidered spring knife is small, it is shiny, and it is obviously a sharp weapon for killing.

In the choice of immediate death and the possibility of a battle of life, or even a possible meritorious battle, the artillery calmed down.

King Xin proudly inserted the embroidered spring knife back into the scabbard, this knife was borrowed from Zhu Youcheng at that time, and he didn't plan to return it when he borrowed it, plus Zhu Youcheng didn't study it deeply, of course, he didn't pay it back.

Ke Qingqing shouted: "Since you have been borrowed into the Jinyi Guard, you must abide by the military discipline of the Jinyi Guard, of course, the Jinyi Guard will not treat you badly, the monthly money and the wartime reward, and a penny of silver are indispensable to you." Stand next to your guns and listen to my orders. I give the order to open fire, and you will shell the area 3oo paces in front of the formation. Now go and adjust the range of the artillery and get ready to bloom the shells. ”

The two came to the main gate of the camp, which was the main direction of attack of the thieves. Five hundred brocade guards have already entered the combat position.

King Shin took out a miniature firearm, squeezed away a brocade guard, and lay down in high spirits, ready to give the enemy a head-on blow.

This mini firearm was specially created for King Xin by Zhu Youcheng and Li Datie, the barrel is relatively short, and the range is relatively short, but it has also reached a terrifying 35o steps, far from the effective range of all bows and crossbows. Bullets are not specialized, and are common to all bullets of the firearms.

Zhu Youcheng attached great importance to standardization, stipulating that no matter what new type of weapon Li Datie developed, as long as it was a firearm, he must use the bullets he was making now.

Ke Qingqing was secretly happy that King Xin did not come to grab the command. Before Zhu Youcheng left, he didn't say which of the two of them was the main general, probably because he believed that the two of them could coordinate.

The thieves screamed and rushed over, and with a "bang", a bang sounded in the camp, but it was released by King Xin. The firing range of King Xin's fire gun is only 35o meters, and the thieves are 5oo steps away from the camp, and the effect of this shot can be imagined.

King Xin looked at the brocade guards on both sides, and saw that no one had let go of the guns, so he smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, this is a proud soldier's plan." ”

Although the original intention of this gun was not an arrogant strategy, it objectively played this role. When the thieves heard the bang, they fell to the ground in fright. After a long time, now that he was fine, he got up to check on the soldiers of the troops, but he did not find even a single wounded.

The thieves couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that only the 1,500 elite soldiers were equipped with that kind of firecracker with amazing lethality, and the firearms of the other soldiers were still ordinary firearms.

The thieves are charging faster.

When the thieves rushed to 45o steps, Ke Qingqing shouted: "Fight!" ”

Jin Yiwei's firearm fired a welcome bullet, which instantly took the lives of nearly a hundred people.

The thieves saw that the fire of the camp was amazing, and retreated like a tide. Of course, the Jinyi guard was still behind them with bullets, and when they retreated, they left behind the corpses of nearly 100 people.

These thieves are all elite soldiers, from various bandit camps, killing people like numbness, and being bold. Grass Flying didn't dare to let them fill in the gun hole - if he really did, he would have done it without mud. He did not dare to hold the soldiers accountable for the withdrawal

Cao Shangfei looked at the iron-walled camp, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

One of his subordinates said: "General, there should be fewer soldiers in the camp, so it is better for us to divide the troops and attack from all sides, maybe we can defeat the camp." ”

Grass Fei nodded, deeply agreed.

He divided the team into four teams, selected three captains, and asked them to lead the team back to the other three sides of the camp, and he led one team to guard the front of the camp. When each team arrives at a predetermined position, they will release a rocket to notify everyone. When the teams on all sides are united, the fourth rocket will be released when flying on the grass. Hearing the last rocket explode, the whole army charged in unison, trying to take the camp. Whoever enters the camp first, the woman inside is the first to be picked, and the gold and silver treasures are to be taken first.

After speaking, Grass Fei took out the rocket and distributed it to the three captains. These rockets, also known as cupolas, ignite and fly into the sky with a sharp sound and then explode. The rockets were snatched from a firecracker shop in Nanpi County, and were originally used as children's toys for the New Year's holiday, but now they have become a means of communication for thieves.

The battlefield fell into a brief lull.

Shin Wang was a little anxious and asked, "Were the rebels scared away by us?" ”

Ke Qingqing groaned: "It's unlikely, the rebels have only killed about two hundred people now, and they haven't been hurt by us yet, so it shouldn't be possible to escape now." (To be continued)
