Chapter 220: The Cavalry Strikes
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Grandpa Guo, the brothers of the Third Regiment have suffered heavy losses, and more than three hundred have been killed!"
When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he didn't look like there was any expression on his face, but his fists were clenched and jumped, and all his green tendons were exposed.
The Third Guards Regiment is one of the main forces of Gu Zhenhua's core troops, more than half of them are veterans, and half of them are recruits trained by him.
Since the start of the war, the total number of soldiers killed in battle has exceeded 1,300, and there are still a large number of wounded. Although more than 16,000 or 7,000 people were killed and wounded, as the war continued, An's troops were limited, and when the time came, the casualties would continue to increase, and whether they could hold on was really a big problem.
Gu Zhenhua was silent for a long time, his gaze swept over everyone present, "Everyone, the reason why the Tartars are so arrogant is that the biggest reliance is on the artillery, as long as the Tartars' cannons are solved, we can turn the tide of the battle and get rid of the unfavorable situation." ”
Li Jibo nodded and said, "That's right, I've already heard that cracks have appeared in the city wall, and if it continues to bombard like this, I'm afraid that there will be a possibility of collapse." It's just that it is not an easy thing to destroy the artillery of the Tartars, and whether the news brought back by Han Yonglu is credible or not, the old man is also suspicious in his heart, in case, if it is a trap, I am afraid that the elite of An ** will be compensated! ”
After the old man finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, in fact, Gu Zhenhua's heart was not worried.
He asked Han Yonglu carefully, and Han Yonglu also recounted the past. It turned out that when 6 Mingzhen gave him a letter. When he was allowed to escape, it turned out that Han Yonglu's upline was arrested, and Dolgon searched for him. Han Yonglu was trapped in the city.
Then the Tartars went out on the expedition and arrested him as a people's husband, Han Yonglu sent troops with the Tartars, specializing in physical work, he escaped several times, but was unsuccessful, until two days ago. He took advantage of the Tartars' inattention, so he fled to Xinxiang City and let Guo Yunlong take prisoner. It was sent to Gu Zhenhua's hands again.
This process is also reasonable, but Gu Zhenhua is quite worried, in case it is a trap carefully designed by the Tartars, he is afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wu Kaijie's eyes rolled. Said cautiously: "Grandpa Guo." From the point of view of lowly office, it does not seem to be fake, if the Tartars make up lies, they do not need to mention Dordor in it, which is tantamount to stigmatizing the dead. Besides, they can make up other lies, in my opinion, Han Yonglu's words are credible, and the problem now is how to kill those Yi people. They were in the camp of the Qing army. If you want to kill them, it is equivalent to defeating tens of thousands of Qing troops. I'm afraid it's too difficult! ”
Rumble! Whoa!
While they were talking, there was another loud noise, and Kang Dali hurried in, covered in dust.
"Grandpa Guo, something is wrong, the diamond-shaped fort in the northern city has been broken!"
"What?"
Gu Zhenhua suddenly stood up, "How about the casualties?" ”
"More than thirty brothers were stoned to death by the bombing, others have retreated to their original walls, and the Tartars are attacking fiercely, and the situation is not good."
Gu Zhenhua let out a long breath: "Order, let the fifth regiment dispatch, hold it to the death for me, and there will be no mistakes!" ”
Kang Dali hurriedly went to pass the order, and Gu Zhenhua sat in his original position again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, at this point, we have to make a decision."
Li Jibo smiled slightly: "There are thousands of principals in the family, and at this time, it depends on the meaning of Grandpa Guo." ”
Gu Zhenhua thought for a while, and then said solemnly: "First, the artillery of the Qing army must be solved, either starting from the Yi people, or sending troops to attack and destroy these artillery, in a word, these scourges cannot be kept!" ”
Gu Zhenhua said, looked at Yue Poyu, and said: "No matter what you do, the cavalry regiment is the absolute main force, you have to be prepared, just wait for the plan to be formulated, and attack immediately!" ”
"Grandpa Guo, rest assured, you must prepare well for your humble duties!"
Yue Poyu had long been eager to fight, and now that he had the opportunity, where would he want to miss it, so he was extra attentive and immediately went down to make arrangements.
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps, and his men ran in again.
"If there's any bad news, let's say it all!"
"Grandpa Guo, it's not bad news, it's good news, Lord Shen is here!"
"Lord Shen, which Lord Shen?"
"Naturally, Lord Shen Tingyang Shen of the Water Master, he has brought a lot of supplies."
Hearing that it was Shen Tingyang, Gu Zhenhua was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly led someone to greet him. Far away, Shen Tingyang bowed down and bowed.
"Humble to meet the grandfather of the country, you are the enemy of the country, bloody battle of the Tartars, if it is not for the bloody battle of the soldiers of An**, how can there be half of the south of the Yangtze River, you are the benefactor of all the people!"
Shen Tingyang said, crying bitterly and kowtowing again and again.
Gu Zhenhua hurriedly hugged him and said with a smile: "Lord Shen, it's all the duty of a soldier, there's nothing to say." It's that you don't manage the navy well, how can you have time to go to the front line? ”
"Humble duty, humble duty is to escort supplies over."
When Shen Tingyang spoke, his eyes fluttered, and Gu Zhenhua suddenly felt that something was wrong, grabbed Shen Tingyang's arm, and took him to the empty room on the side.
"Lord Shen, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Shen Tingyang looked at the dark red blood on Gu Zhenhua's body, and the gunpowder smoke on his face, and suddenly felt sad.
"Grandpa Guo, you, you fought bloodily in the former enemy, but, but there are really too many small nights in this world!"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Father Qiguo, he was ordered to run the navy, and at the same time open the roadway to Japan and buy sulfur and other materials. Just over a month ago, a shipment of sulfur was brought back. It was supposed to be transported to Henan, but it was detained by Liu Zeqing. ”
"Humph!" Gu Zhenhua's brows suddenly stood up: "What a big boldness, Liu Zeqing dares to touch Benjue's things, doesn't he want his head?" ”
Shen Tingyang Yue's grief and indignation: "Grandpa Guo, in fact, it's not just Liu Zeqing, and he also complained to the Ministry of War and the Cabinet for his humble position. Who knows that they kick each other's balls, and they have no intention of managing it. Later, after many inquiries, I learned that Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng deliberately made a fuss about military rations. It seems that they are afraid that An ** will be too fast and affect their power. However, but now that the enemy is present, these people do not want to serve the country with one heart, but secretly make stumbling blocks and pull back their legs, which is simply a child's play on national affairs. It's disgusting! ”
"Hey, it's ridiculous that Gu is ignorant!" Gu Zhenhua said self-deprecatingly: "I still think Ma Shiying is different from the Donglin Party, and now it seems." Half a catty and eight taels, they are all raccoon dogs! ”
"That's right, they can't figure out how to let the Tartars take over the world. All of them became slaves to the country. Everyone has a pig's tail, and what face does it have to live in the world. ”
Gu Zhenhua smiled bitterly: "It's not that they don't understand, but they have other plans, they died in the hands of the Tartars, and they can continue to be high-ranking officials, if they die in the hands of their own people, then they will be doomed!" ”
Rather with friends than with house slaves!
How similar!
Gu Zhenhua's heart. Extraordinarily sad. The real Manchu Tartars, men, women and children combined. It's only a few hundred thousand, and it can enslave the dignified Ming, if it weren't for these guys who are insiders and outsiders, they wouldn't have fallen to this point.
"Lord Shen, waiting for the battle in front of you to be over, Benjue will definitely not let them go. Tell me what you brought with you. ”
"Yes, Grandpa Guo, I knew that the military supply was tight, so I took Brother Shui to transport 100,000 catties of sulfur to the north, and after arriving in Xuzhou, I changed it to a carriage and transported it to the front line."
When Gu Zhenhua heard this, his eyes immediately widened, you must know that among the black powder, the sulfur is only ten percent, and Shen Tingyang sent 100,000 catties at once, wouldn't it mean that one million catties of gunpowder can be dispensed with!
There is absolutely no problem with this battle!
"Lord Shen, Benjue wants to thank you on behalf of the whole army, it's not easy to transport so much sulfur, right?"
"It's just a little dedicated, and I don't deserve the word thank you. When they went north, Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie both wanted to start, but they were stopped by their humble positions. I told them that if they dared to move a finger, 20,000 sailors would fight with them to the end. And the head of the Xue regiment stationed in Xuzhou also helped a lot, and finally transported the things over. ”
"Humph!" Gu Zhenhua sneered: "Some people's forgetfulness is so great, they are even pinched when they are Benjue, don't look at me to deal with Tartars, crush them like ants!" ”
Gu Zhenhua has already sentenced Liu Zeqing to death in his heart!
"Grandpa Guo, by the way, there is still something for you to give to you."
"Oh? What else? ”
"You'll know if you've seen it!"
Gu Zhenhua and Shen Tingyang walked out one after the other, and at this time, Shang Pei suddenly ran to Gu Zhenhua's side in a few steps and grabbed his arm.
"Hahaha, my big grandfather, the little girl has never seen you so wolf, it's so funny!"
"Miss Shang, I'm afraid it's not good for you to have this fetish!"
"Hmph, you owe me everything, as long as you agree to one condition, I won't say these words."
"Do you like to talk about it or not, anyway, Benjue is indispensable for a piece of meat!"
Gu Zhenhua actually shook off Shang Pei and walked directly with Shen Tingyang. Angry, Shang Pei pouted and stomped her foot fiercely.
"Gu Zhenhua, listen, don't care what Shen Tingyang's soul shows you, kill this girl, and this girl can forgive you when the time comes, otherwise, you wait!"
Gu Zhenhua didn't care about this little girl's scolding, but laughed at Shen Tingyang.
"Lao Shen, this girl has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"
"Miss Shang is straightforward and not difficult to get along, only, it's just that sometimes it's too ......"
"It's so childish!" Gu Zhenhua laughed.
"This is what Grandpa Guo said, I didn't say it!"
They came to a small square one after the other, and there were more than two hundred short people standing in the middle of the square, generally only up to Gu Zhenhua's chest, but they were all very stout, looking at the style and clothing, it was the notorious Little Japan!
"Lord Shen, this, isn't this a wolf?"
"Grandpa Guo has good eyesight, but they are still a little different from the Japanese Kou."
Shen Tingyang nodded his hand and called a leader, and introduced with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, his name is Yuhua Xiaozaburo, and he is a samurai!" ”
"Samurai of the small state, meet the honorable prince of the kingdom!"
"Meet the Lord!"
These Japanese all bit their stiff tongues and knelt in front of Gu Zhenhua on one leg.
Looking at the pious energy of these people, Gu Zhenhua suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and his eyes fell on Shen Tingyang.
"Grandpa Kaiyukoku, these people were met by chance on a desert island when they went to Japan to trade, according to them, they were samurai who rebelled against the Tokugawa, and they were blocked by the Tokugawa shogunate, and there was no food and clothing. The lowly officials were good at making suggestions, and let them follow the ship and return to the country. It is precisely because of them that Miss Shang has a conflict with her humble position, and according to Miss Shang's meaning, they should all be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks! ”
Yuhua Xiaozaburo turned his head again, and said to Shen Tingyang: "Shangguan's life-saving grace is unforgettable, and the villain can only repay him with death!" ”
"You speak Chinese well, I don't know what you know?" Gu Zhenhua asked.
"Qi Yu Guogong, the Yuhua clan is a samurai family in Japan, every man of the Yuhua family starts at the age of three, he has to learn kendo jiu-jitsu, at the age of ten to learn the language of the Celestial Empire, and from the age of fifteen, he has to participate in battles and sharpen his combat skills. The villain has killed 237 people so far, and he has not tasted defeat! ”
Yuhua Kozaburo said, with a smug smile on his face.
Shen Tingyang said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, I have verified that their skills are indeed good, especially when fighting alone, they are even more brave and ruthless experts!" ”
It's not enough to be brave and ruthless! Gu Zhenhua's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately laughed: "Yes, they came just in time, Benjue is of great use!" ”
……
The sky gradually darkened, Yue Poyu led all the cavalry, ready to fight, in the night, they had already unloaded the wings that were in the way, each person had a riding spear, a sabre, and each person was equipped with three firearms, and some people carried grenades and divine fire crows and other things.
Just behind them, Yuhua Kosaburo and these people were also riding war horses, holding katanas one by one, very proud.
At this time, Gu Zhenhua urged the war horses and arrived in front of them, and his majestic gaze swept over everyone.
"Brothers, in today's battle, nearly 500 brothers have been killed, and there are four holes in the wall, all caused by the Tartar artillery. And your mission is to take out the Tartar artillery and remove the greatest threat to us. This battle is very dangerous, you may die at any time, are you afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! Unafraid! ”
"Okay, bring the wine!"
Someone had already brought a jar of spirits, and everyone had a full bowl, even Yuhua Xiaozaburo and they were no exception. These wines are all daughter red that has been stored in the city for more than ten years, and they are particularly hot, warm and warm, and the wine is fragrant.
Yue Poyu held the wine bowl and drank the water and wine in one gulp, and the raging flames burst out of the esophagus.
"Good wine, really good wine!"
Gu Zhenhua also picked up a bowl and solemnly saluted these warriors!
After everyone had finished drinking, Yue Poyu slammed the wine bowl to the ground and shouted loudly: "Cavalry, attack!" (To be continued......)
