Chapter 117: The cavalry of the Yu family's army
This Zhu Wannian's family knew that he was unlucky, and when he saw that the war horse of the rebel cavalry was about to step on him, he did not dodge, but suddenly rolled on the spot, dodged a shot stabbed at him by a rebel, and with a flash of a knife in his hand, he cut off the front hooves of a rebel sitting on a war horse, and the war horse neighed miserably, and immediately fell to the ground, smashing the rebel cavalry on his back on the ground, even if he was trampled under the feet of other rebel war horses.
And this personal soldier succeeded with a knife, but did not have a chance to make a knife again, a rebel swung a knife, his left arm was cut off on the spot, flew to the ground, blood flew far away, and then he just screamed, a rebel horse crashed into him, knocked him upside down and flew out, fell heavily to the ground, the bones of the whole body were shattered several pieces, and blood spurted out on the spot, but he was stunned that he had not lost the single knife in his hand.
Lying on the ground, he still gritted his teeth and swung a knife, and cut the leg of a war horse, but he was seriously injured and was unable to cut off the leg of the war horse, but this knife still cut a big hole in the war horse's leg, and the war horse neighed on the spot, knocked over to the ground, and threw a rebel under the horse, and in an instant the war horse that came behind them drowned them all......
This little episode did not stop the rebels from pursuing Zhu Wannian, but it made the defenders of the city sigh and suddenly became angry, on the one hand, they sighed at the loyalty and courage of Zhu Wannian's personal soldiers, and on the other hand, they hated the cunning and ferocity of the rebels. Fuck the thief bird! ”
Several flames suddenly erupted from the city tower, and clouds of gunpowder smoke and black cannonballs flew out of the barrels with a whistling roar, smashing into the rebel cavalry rushing below.
Solid bullets hit the cavalry, the hit rate is not high, but at this time, the rebel cavalry is chasing Zhu Wannian in a scramble, the formation is quite dense, as long as it is not too biased, falling into the crowd can always be gained, so a few cannons passed, and the rebel cavalry immediately turned over on their backs, rising a blood mist, and the stumps and internal organs of people and horses flew up, and the scene was quite tragic.
Such an artillery bombardment suddenly disrupted the rhythm of the rebels' pursuit, so that the rebels had to quickly turn their horses and disperse the formation, so as not to be caught by the shells falling into the crowd, and the casualties were too heavy.
This also blocked the pursuit speed of the rebel cavalry, so that Zhu Wannian and his party finally got closer to the city gate, and when the rebels gathered and accelerated the pursuit, Zhu Wannian and his party were already very close to the city gate drawbridge, and at this time, dozens of war horses rushed out of the city gate, lined up outside the drawbridge, and were ready to receive Zhu Wannian into the city.
Hundreds of archers raised their arms high, fought to open their bows, pointed their arrows into the air, and at the order of the officer, they released their bowstrings, only to hear a dense whooshing sound, and hundreds of arrows were scattered outside the city gate as if it were raining, and fell in the formation of the rebels.
Many rebel cavalry hurriedly raised their arms and raised their cavalry shields to cover their vital points, but there were still some rebel cavalrymen and horses who were hit by arrows and screamed and fell down one after another, or the horses were frightened by arrows and began to scurry around on the battlefield, forcing the cavalry to hurry up and control the horses so as not to fall off their horses.
Seeing that Zhu Wannian had rushed to the drawbridge, the city was heavily defended, and there were dozens of cavalry outside the city gate to protect the drawbridge, the rebel generals among the rebel cavalry knew that they couldn't catch Zhu Wannian today, and continued to rush over, relying on their people, they couldn't take the city gate, so they had to let out a helpless roar, beckoning his subordinates to quickly circle the horse, turn the horse's head and flee back to the camp.
After Zhu Wannian was escorted back to the city by his own soldiers, he was also pale with fright, and secretly said that he was fortunate again and again, if it weren't for the sudden incident behind the rebels, and the rebels' deeds were revealed, he would be finished today, and now he can escape back to the city, it can be regarded as a great fortune, after holding the reins of the horse, he couldn't get off the horse for a long time, and he was still held down by his own soldiers, and he was still panicked to death for a long time, and his heart was pounding.
It took a while for Zhu Wannian to recover, tidy up the official robe on his body, and he didn't know where to throw his hat at this time, so he could only pull his hair a little and go to see Xie Lian.
After seeing Xie Lian, everyone said hello to Zhu Wannian repeatedly, and everyone was frightened this time, and they were relieved that Zhu Wannian could survive in danger.
After a while, they remembered the rebels outside, so they quickly turned their heads to observe the situation of the rebels, although the rebels were ready to attack the city, but they only tentatively attacked, and were soon repelled by Yang Yufan, so they retreated, collected their troops, and retreated in the direction of their camp.
A rebel cavalry, sent by Kong Youde, rushed towards the south of Laizhou City, but because of the distance, they could not see what was happening in the distance.
But after careful analysis, these people feel that today's events should be a good thing for them, the rebels have deceived Zhu Wannian to go out of the city and surrender, as long as they hold on for a while, Zhu Wannian will be on the enemy side, and when the time comes, they can clean up Zhu Wannian as much as they want, Zhu Wannian is the meat on their chopping block, and it is impossible to escape back.
But when they were about to succeed in their scheme, there was suddenly chaos in the rear, and there was a burst of cannon sounds in the distance, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing, and even the sound of dense firecrackers.
Why is that? There can only be one explanation, that is, behind the rebels, there is an enemy army of the rebels, and who else can there be in the enemy army of the rebels, it must be the official army!
Thinking of this, everyone in Laizhou City suddenly rejoiced, for a few months, the imperial court did not send them a single soldier of reinforcements, let them be trapped in the lonely city, here and the rebels Caged City to fight to the death, there is no hope, and I don't know what decision the imperial court will make, such a long wait, it is desperate.
But today they suddenly saw hope, if they didn't guess wrong, an official army has come to the vicinity of Laizhou City, since the official army is here, then it must be here to destroy the rebels, it is to relieve the siege of Laizhou, this time they are saved!
After guessing this, although it could not be confirmed for the time being, the soldiers and civilians of Laizhou up and down the city were still suddenly boiling, and they ran around the city one by one to tell each other, only to jump up, and many people learned the news, and immediately cried, almost having a psychological breakdown.
But this news still brought great hope to the people in Laizhou City, and also boosted their morale, at least they knew that now that the imperial court had made up its mind to attack the rebels, they were no longer isolated, and it was estimated that a large number of officers and soldiers would soon come to relieve them from the siege.
At this time, Laizhou City was lively, and everyone was suddenly excited to the extreme, ready to continue to fight with the rebels.
Besides, Kong Youde outside the city, his angry nose was crooked, and the duck to his beak flew in a daze, all because the Fujian soldiers and horses led by the surnamed Yu did not come early or late, but he came at this time and messed up his good deeds.
Seeing Zhu Wannian flee back to Laizhou City in a smoke, and his plan to surrender was also exposed, making his plan to deceive the gate of Laizhou City completely ruined, Kong Youde almost vomited blood on the spot.
So he was furious and immediately sent his general Chen Shi, who led more than 1,000 elite cavalry, and immediately galloped to the south of Laizhou City, ordering him to kill all the Fujian cavalry, killing them without leaving a single piece of armor, and not allowing any of them to run away.
So Chen sometimes immediately gathered his troops and horses, broke away from the big formation, and swept towards the south of Laizhou City like a wind, and along the way the rebel generals were all angry to death, shouting and rolling up their sleeves, vowing to slaughter all the Fujian cavalry who had done bad things to them.
In the place where the fierce battle took place just now, about ten miles south of Laizhou City, a group of rebels of about seven or eight hundred people, under the leadership of a rebel general, set up a card here, responsible for guarding this official road from the direction of Pingdu.
Just when they were all paying attention to Laizhou City, suddenly at the end of the official road, a piece of dust was raised, and then they gradually felt that the dust on the ground began to shake slightly, and the rebel soldiers felt a slight vibration under their feet, so they looked towards the end of the official road.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "There's a cavalry coming this way!" ”
So someone climbed the master to build a pergola, against the sun to look at the end of the official road, at this time there was a flag on the horizon at the end of the official road, these flags could not be seen clearly in the distance, but the color can be roughly seen, these flags represent the flag of the official army, so these people immediately exclaimed: "It's the official army coming!" The officers and soldiers are coming! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
These rebels suddenly became chaotic, and their gang was left on the periphery, which in itself showed that they were not descendants of Kong Youde and other rebel generals, so they could only do some miscellaneous things, and their combat effectiveness was naturally not high.
However, the rebel general who led the troops was still a descendant of the old department of the Dongjiang River, and after hearing the enemy's attack, he hurriedly gathered up these miscellaneous soldiers under his command, blocked the official road, tried to intercept the cavalry of the official army that suddenly appeared, and hurriedly sent people back to the front of the Laizhou formation, informed Kong Youde of the news, and asked Kong Youde for help.
At this time, this cavalry on the official road has appeared in their line of sight, the number of this cavalry is not too much, at most only about five or six hundred people, but when they rush closer, the rebel soldiers will immediately find that this group of Fujian cavalry is well-equipped, everyone has armor, and even the war horses are covered with some felt or half-body leather armor.
(It seems that today I will continue to thank the shrimp shrimp pervert and the desert laughing Zephyr brothers for their rewards!) )
