357 Repeating the old trick
Tiger is the king of beasts, is the supreme ruler of the mountains and forests, Zhang Xianzhong did not think about the nickname of "Yellow Tiger", but was proud, and his righteous son also gave the nickname of the tiger, the eldest grandson is expected to be brave and cunning, every time he encounters the enemy, he leads his subordinates to sink and strain, and is called "a wall" by the army. Because he is literate and clever, he is very valued by Zhang Xianzhong and is nicknamed the Tiger; The second Liu Wenxiu is gentle and jade, known for his intelligence, Zhang Xianzhong often discusses with him, nicknamed Zhihu; The fourth Ai Nengqi is not afraid of death in battle, and he rushes to the front every time, with the demeanor of a desperate Saburo, nicknamed the Tiger.
The third child, without the third child, Li Dingguo was poached by Lu Haoshan when Zhang Xianzhong was in the most difficult time, and now he is the most loyal and capable general under Lu Haoshan.
Zhang Xianzhong poured out of the nest, with the determination to break the axe and sink the boat straight to Sichuan, and carried a large amount of food and salary upstream, the safety issue will naturally not be taken lightly, and he dared to swagger forward on the Yangtze River, that is, the two tigers were sent to the front to open the way.
In order to advance smoothly, Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi coordinated with the generals Wang Shangli, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli and Zhang Hualong, and divided their troops into two ways to attack Wanxian, Zhang Xianzhong's plan was to take Wanxian County as a springboard after taking Wanxian, and then capture Sichuan, which had been coveted for a long time.
Ai Nengqi led the men and horses of the headquarters, quickly captured Yeshan Pass, and after capturing Qutang Pass with Sun Kewang's soldiers, he went up the river, in order to achieve that his father-in-law could take Chongqing Mansion before the New Year, get up early to catch the dark, in his opinion, this is not only a task, but also an opportunity.
Among the three sons, Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Xianzhong spend the most time together, Sun Kewang is the most important, and the young Li Dingguo is the most valued, of course, Li Dingguo finally left, but Ai Nengqi also failed to share more favors from it, fighting fiercely and not afraid of death Ai Nengqi has repeatedly made military exploits, and he thinks that he is not worse than others.
For this. Ainengqi is strong everywhere, and he takes the lead in the charge, just to fight for himself.
"Hurry, hurry up."
"Come on, those guys are too slow, give them two whips, grind, when will they be able to Wanxian."
"Break down Wanxian, Ren Er and wait for a day of looting."
Enchi rode on his horse, shouting incessantly. Although there were several small-scale battles on the road, that bit of combat merit was not worth mentioning, and only by capturing Wanxian County was a little credit.
"Report!" Just as Enengch ordered his men to hurry up, a scout rushed to report.
"Say"
"The general attacked Yunyang County last night, captured Yunyang, seized a large amount of grain and grass, and now continues to advance in the direction of Wanxian."
What the? Yunyang County is broken?
Zhang Xianzhong proclaimed himself king and made all three righteous sons generals. What the general said was that the righteous descendants could be hopeful, and suddenly heard the news that Sun Kewang broke Yunyang, and Ai Nengqi was suddenly stunned, and Yunyang was the only way to go to Wanxian. I worked hard all the way, in order to break through Yunyang before the so-called eldest brother Sun Kewang, which is also a credit, but I didn't expect Sun Kewang to take another step ahead.
"Damn. and let him take the lead," said Ainengqi angrily: "No matter how good things are, let him take advantage of them." ”
A henchman named Zheng Santong lowered his voice and said: "General, the general is deeply trusted by the king, and there are many horses and livestock in the department. The most elite elite golden iron cavalry is under his command, and when it comes to the speed of marching, he is only afraid of ......"
Although they are both righteous sons, there will be differences in treatment, Sun Kewang is deeply loved by Zhang Xianzhong, and he is also better than others in terms of rewards and distribution, although the two are about the same size, but Sun Kewang's troops have more horses and livestock, and the marching speed is naturally much faster.
Ai Nengqi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go, let the brothers go faster, and arrive in Wanxian County before my eldest brother Sun Kewang, and each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and the first one to attack Wanxian will be rewarded with ten taels of silver and ten beauties." ”
"Yes, General."
Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, driven by the soldiers, everyone day and night, on November 18, Ai Nengqi rushed to Sun Kewang's department, the first to arrive in Wanxian, 30,000 people surrounded a small Wanxian group.
After surrounding, Ainengqi did not stop and immediately ordered people to attack.
Although the location is important, it is not to rush, the city wall of Wanxian is not high, the first charge, Ai Nengqi ordered Ma Yuanli to lead 5,000 soldiers to explore the road first.
Ma Yuanli is also a fierce general, so he didn't say a word, raised the scimitar, and said loudly: "Brothers, rush with me, go to the city to drink wine, eat meat and play with women, the general said, the first to kill into Wanxian County, the reward is 10,000 taels of silver, and then ten beauties, kill." ”
Those big truths don't understand, tell them that those empty ones are useless, just like Ai Nengqi, just a sentence, as long as you arrive in Wanxian County before Sun Kewang's department, each person will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and under an order, those subordinates seem to have beaten chicken blood, one by one, they are desperately hurrying, and they just rush in front of Sun Kewang, so it's good to tell them the most direct.
"Kill"
"Kill all the official dogs."
"Brothers, rush with me, this 10,000 taels of silver and beautiful women are from our team."
"Charge me, those who retreat from the battle, don't count killing."
Under an order, thousands of people are like thousands of beasts out of the cage, the sound of killing rushed forward, Zhang Rui saw it really on the city wall, these people looked like a ball of loose sand, but the action was quite orderly: the shield soldiers rushed to the front, and held the shield in their hands high, so that they could protect the archers and firecrackers who followed behind, but these were not many, and then there were soldiers carrying ladders or pushing crashing cars, it can be seen from here that Zhang Xianzhong can dominate in Hunan and Jiangxi, and indeed has its advantages.
The soldiers of the city wall are not ornamental, when Ma Yuanli people enter the firing range, the arrows on the city wall rain down, suddenly disrupting the rhythm of the siege troops, from time to time someone fell to the ground with arrows, and the momentum of the attack was also blocked.
Ma Yuanli has experienced a hundred battles and is very experienced, and at the sound of an order, the troops were retracted, the shield bearers in front formed a shield formation, and the people behind were huddled together, leaning on each other, although the movement was slower, but the casualties had been greatly reduced.
On the third day of Shibei, when it was impressive, Zhang Xianzhong was able to capture Hunan and Jiangxi, and his soldiers were all tempered, and in order to attack Sichuan, preparations were made early.
When the enemy army got closer and closer, and even the archers hiding in the team began to shoot arrows to counterattack, Zhang Rui on the city wall showed a sneer on his lips, and waved his big hand: "Fire gunner, give it to me." ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa"
"Sizzle......."
"Bang bang...... Bang bang bang"
At one time, a large group of firecrackers appeared on the city wall, not to mention thousands of people, these people were divided into three teams, one team to shoot, one team to charge, and one team to prepare, and the three teams of people were constantly rotated, forming uninterrupted firepower, causing great damage to the traitors under the city wall.
Iron pellets fired with gunpowder are much more powerful than sharp arrows, and those simple wooden shields can defend against sharp arrows, but the iron pellets fired by gunpowder can easily pass through wooden shields, tearing armor and muscles devastation, and causing great damage to the human body.
As soon as the fire cracked out, there was a scream under the city wall, and the bandits who rushed in front fell down in large numbers at once.
Ai Nengqi, who was standing behind to supervise the battle, saw that his subordinates were caught off guard by the official army, and he was not angry but happy, and said to himself: "Look at the power of this firecracker, it is indeed an improvement over the bird gun commonly used by the official army, and the power has also increased a lot, but no outsiders say that it is so exaggerated, saying that there are only a thousand firearms, so Hong Chengchou is rejected from the Zitian Pass, saying that those muskets are like fire dragons, even the Cao family and the double tigers cannot enter an inch, from here it is an exaggeration, nine times out of ten Hong Chengchou suffered a loss, cherish the feathers, deliberately exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army. ”
After speaking, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's not Er'er." ”
These firearms of the Sichuan army are improved, but not to the realm of invincibility, the power of the firearm is great, but it is not that there is no way to crack it, find out the hole cards of the Sichuan army, Ai Nengqi is full of confidence, waved his hand and said: "Collect the troops." ”
"Yes, General."
Under the order, someone immediately shouted gold, this is the signal to collect the troops, those bandits who marched forward with stiff hair heard it, as if hearing the sound of heaven, when they fled, they only hated their parents for having two legs, just a moment of effort, a cadre left a corpse on the ground, and escaped completely.
"My lord, they retreated, it's really useless, they haven't even touched the city wall, it's really a bunch of waste." When Ma Yuanli retreated, a henchman said to Zhang Rui with some disdain.
"Useless?" Zhang Rui sneered, then shook his head and said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Zhang Xianzhong is no exception, those few righteous sons are harmonious on the surface, but in fact, they are intrigued, this way to march Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi will compete with each other, didn't you listen to the scout's report, in order to capture Wanxian County in front of Sun Kewang, Ainengqi desperately urged the gang and his men to march along the way, and the people who were killed and tired fell all the way, and they were shocked to see it, look at it, this is just a small temptation, and it will soon make a move. ”
As soon as the words ended, someone shouted a warning: "The enemy is attacking again." ”
When Zhang Rui heard this, he hurriedly picked up the clairvoyant eye to watch, but he only glanced at it when he raised it, and immediately said angrily: "Damn, using this trick again is simply mad." ”
In the clairvoyance, I saw a ragged Baisheng, a white-haired old man, a scrawny woman, a childish child, and a desperate man, who rushed to the city wall with improvised weapons in their hands, howling and crying, for the simple reason that a group of bandits with weapons kept driving these poor people to charge, walking a little slower, and immediately swinging down with a knife, and the means were extremely cruel.
Naturally, these people could not capture a strong county town, and their survival was to consume the sharpness and ammunition of the Sichuan soldiers.
"Official, spare your life"
"Give me kindness, we're all forced, don't kill me."
"Help, military master, military master, don't release arrows, we are all Sichuan people, save me, military master."
