Chapter 278
But it also gave the Ming soldiers in the back time to detonate the grenade.
The grenade exploded in a series of explosions from west to east.
Each explosion took several lives, exploding at such a close distance that no one could dodge.
Jiang Yansi drew two grenades with both hands at the same time, and rushed forward with the Ming soldiers.
At this moment, Jiang Yansi was already relaxed, and he no longer had to worry about the livelihood of these more than 300 people.
The only regret that he regretted was that he didn't know if Jiang Yanzhao and Zhu Guichao would be able to get out of danger safely, and whether they would be able to pass on the information about Shengzhou to the ears of the Ming army.
It's too late, it's too soon.
The speed of the collision was extremely fast, in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Yansi only saw countless Liao military figures flashing from both sides of him, and at this time, due to the death of the Ming soldiers in front of him, Jiang Yansi was exposed, and a scimitar broke through the air and slashed at Jiang Yansi's head.
Jiang Yansi stared at the scimitar that was getting closer and closer, he didn't dodge, he didn't want to dodge, he wanted to use this instant time to detonate the grenade.
Jiang Yansi smiled inadvertently, his fingers already pulling the strings.
At this moment, a figure passed through, only to hear the sound of "dang" and the two blades intersected.
Jiang Yansi knew that it was Zhu Guilin who blocked the knife for him.
The grenade had already ignited, and Jiang Yansi hurriedly threw two smoking grenades forward one after another.
After two explosions, "boom, boom", something strange happened.
After the Liao cavalry in front of Jiang Yansi was killed by a grenade, there was no Liao army in front of him.
Jiang Yansi felt strange in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it at all. Immediately shouted, "There is no Liao army ahead, rush out with me." ”
Forthwith. The Ming army followed behind Jiang Yansi and crossed paths with the Liao army.
The Ming and Liao armies only collided once, with the Liao army to the west and the Ming army to the east, swapping directions.
Originally, the cavalry charge and decisive battle needed to collide again and again until one side was all killed or fled, but now. However, the Ming army only collided once and headed east.
This not only surprised the soldiers of Ming Zhili, but also made the Liao army feel incredible.
The Liao army, which had rushed west for several miles to turn around and prepare to collide with the Ming army again, only discovered it at this time. The Liao army that supported did not appear in view, while the Ming army fled eastward.
The Liao army striker can only choose to chase after the tail.
As a result, the Ming and Liao armies fled one after the other and returned the same way.
Mercedes Benz. Everyone was wondering why the main force of the Liao army did not keep up.
Jiang Yansi couldn't figure it out. The Liao army couldn't figure it out.
How could such a good opportunity to annihilate a battalion of the Ming Army be given up by the main force.
……。
At this time, in the place where Jiang Yansi was originally separated from Jiang Yanzhao and Zhu Guichao, the cavalry of the Ming Army was fighting a decisive battle with the main force of the Liao Army.
Jiang Yanzhao and Zhu Guichao only ran more than 20 miles east before they met this Ming cavalry.
After explaining their identities, Jiang Yanzhao and Zhu Guichao led the cavalry to rescue Jiang Yansi and others.
This cavalry came from the command of Yanyun Chen Yanzheng.
Jiang Yanzhao and Zhu Guichao were lucky to meet this cavalry on the edge of the Great Wall.
It was also because of this cavalry that the fate of the Fourth Army began to be rewritten.
Chen Yanzheng did not know about the siege of the Fourth Army of Shengzhou. He sent this cavalry only for the purpose of "fighting the grass valley".
This "grass valley" is not the grass valley of the Liao army.
The object of this cavalry's "fighting grass valley" was not the common people, but the Liao army.
Chen Yanzheng naturally knew the information that Shengzhou was attacked by the Liao army. But the task given to him by Baili Wuji was only to defend the land of Yanyun, Shengzhou was the territory of Zhou, and without Baili Wuji's order, Chen Yanzheng naturally did not dare to evacuate his duties to reinforce Shengzhou of Zhou.
But Chen Yanzheng was unwilling in his heart, there had been no war in the land of Yanyun for two years, and the 80,000 Ming troops under his command had already itched their hands, and the most important thing was that Chen Yanzheng had always felt guilty about Liu Renzhen's death and Bian Hao's serious injury.
After careful consideration, Chen Yanzheng decided to send this cavalry to the west in the name of sending a "scout team".
This "scout team" has clearly violated the law, and its number has reached five thousand.
Even a million-strong scout team can't have 5,000 people.
But Chen Yanzheng understood that the mission he went out this time was just to "fight the grass valley".
He repeatedly ordered that he should not fight against the main force of the Liao army, and only pack up the Liao army that was left alone, and if the Zhou army failed, he would help if he could, and if he couldn't help, don't force it.
And the person who led the troops, Chen Yanzheng chose his henchman to command Zhu Kuangye.
Originally, Chen Yanzheng wanted to lead his troops westward by himself, but after all, he was afraid that he would be discovered by Baili Wuji and dispelled this idea.
This cavalry can be said to be armed to the teeth, with one musket per man, four war horses, sixteen grenades, eight mines, and a month's rations.
If the combat power of the new army is domineering enough, then this cavalry can be called extravagant enough.
It's not that the more weapons you carry, the more powerful you are.
This only shows that Chen Yan is determined to let this cavalry make a big move in the west.
It is best to attract the Liao army, so that the Ming army of Yanyun 80,000 bored can have something to do.
Even if it can't attract the Liao army, this cavalry will become the elite of the 80,000 Ming army.
In fact, even if there is no westward advance, this Ming army is already the elite of Yanyun's 80,000 Ming army.
Because this cavalry did not come from a single formation, but Chen Yanzheng was selected from the 80,000 Ming army as a unit.
Soldiers take war as their profession, and this sentence has been reflected in Chen Yanzheng.
Zhu Kuangye, as Chen Yanzheng's henchman who has been following him from the Jin Kingdom to the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Ming Kingdom, naturally knows Chen Yanzheng's thoughts.
The so-called good at the top, but very bad at the bottom, Zhu Kuangye is also a master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
After leaving Yanyun, he never met the Liao army, and even the soldiers of the Zhou army did not encounter one, but due to Chen Yanzheng's strict order, Zhu Kuangye did not dare to lead the army too far west, so he could only "patrol" along the north and south of the Yellow River.
happened to meet Jiang Yanzhao and Zhu Guichao, who fled eastward, and after asking about the situation, Zhu Kuangye cheered in his heart, this is really a wish of heaven and people.
Zhu Kuangye sent a messenger to Yanyun Chen Yanzheng to report, and then led by Jiang Yanzhao and Zhu Guichao, rushed westward, Zhu Kuangye knew that this time the "scout team" really had a loss, and it must be able to explain it, the Ming army has always paid attention to the mutual assistance of various troops, this is the military regulations set up by Baili Wuji himself, in the Ming army, those who do not save themselves are removed from their posts and investigated.
Twenty miles of land, it arrived in an instant, but at this time, Jiang Yansi fled west in order to attract the main force of the Liao army.
The Liao army immediately pursued out, but the main force of the Liao army was pinned down by the Ming cavalry coming from the east. (To be continued......)
