Chapter 241: Two Gamblers Can't Fire a Cannon
The defeat of the Ming army is a sure thing, this battle is basically nothing to look forward to, Li Jiucheng is even a little disappointed, feeling that this battle is really not enjoyable.
This Ming army is also blocking it, such a coward, it makes people angry when they look at it. Didn't the Ming Dynasty have any soldiers that failed to fight except for our Liao soldiers? If everyone is such a waste, that young man should move his ass as soon as possible and give up the throne.
"Du Shuai, when we're done, let's go back to the camp and throw a few more?"
The one who spoke was Geng Zhongyi, the former commander of the right battalion of the Dengzhou Infantry Army, who had just been appointed as the chief military officer, and Geng Zhongming's cousin. Like Li Jiucheng, this person is also a gambler, and he has two spare money in his hand on weekdays, so he can help the sergeant to play a trick. Seeing that the battle was easy, the horse team caught up for a while and then was able to collect the troops and go back. felt itchy in his heart, and saw that Li Jiucheng was in a good mood, so he drummed out a few tricks at night.
became a handsome, Li Jiucheng did not change his gambler temperament, this gambler heard that he was playing money, and he was stuffed into a big girl in the nest in the middle of the night with an old bachelor, and his heart suddenly warmed. Ha Luha smiled and said, "It's just right, I've been around Laizhou for some days, and I've been thinking about big things, and my subordinates are really itchy." Well, when Ying Yuan comes back, we will collect the troops, and at night, play a good game with your kid. ”
had money to gamble, won the battle, and swept away the spirit of attacking the city for days, Li Jiucheng was in a good mood. On that day, he was able to gamble with the tens of thousands of taels of horse silver given by the governor, and he saw that he was not afraid of anything in his heart. Now that he has become the marshal of the capital, and has won many battles, he naturally will not take the shrunken turtles in Laizhou City in his eyes. These turtle grandchildren also took advantage of the night to disturb the camp, really let them make trouble, hey, it's really not possible.
Li Jiucheng agreed, Geng Zhongyi immediately smiled, pinched his fingers, sighed in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Then don't blame my brother for being spicy."
"Just you?" Li Jiucheng raised his eyebrows, and said with disdain: "Even you kid also want to win Lao Tzu, I think you still have to rest this thought as soon as possible." You find someone to ask, you are handsome, I have lost when I play money! ”
"Du Shuai, your luck is not much better, otherwise you wouldn't have thrown Governor Sun's tens of thousands of taels of silver to the northwest, hehe." Geng Zhongyi did not pay attention to his speech because Li Jiucheng was the marshal of the capital, and even pulled out Li Jiucheng's bad things in the northwest.
was poked in front of his subordinates, but Li Jiucheng was not annoyed, he knew very well in his heart that he was completely promoted by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, and when he was old, he was pushed out to be the leader. In fact, the two of them didn't have any good intentions, it would be easy to say if they had been winning the battle, but if they were defeated, he Li Jiucheng would be the first person to be killed by the imperial court, who would make him the head of the rebels, and he couldn't bear a name!
Most of the Liao soldiers in the Dongjiang River are only Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, he Li Jiucheng is not easy to speak, Geng Zhongyi was the capital division when he was in the right battalion of the infantry before, he Li Jiucheng is just a thousand generals, and the three thousand Liao soldiers under Geng Zhongyi are the main force of his western expedition, and the war depends on him. Therefore, no matter how Geng Zhongyi speaks, Li Jiucheng will not blame him, not to mention that he is really easy-going, he doesn't pay attention to these false courtesies, just live a happy life.
smiled and scolded: "Lao Tzu, I don't lose all the money of Lord Sun, can you be as happy as you are today?" ”
"That's, that's, if it weren't for you, brother, I'm still blowing the sea breeze in Dengzhou." Geng Zhongyi was happy, raised his head and looked ahead, and found that something was wrong, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why did the horse team retreat?" ”
"Backed up?" Li Jiucheng hurriedly picked up the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and found that the horse team was really running back.
"Done? Ying Yuan, this kid has been practiced now, and this action is too fast. Geng Zhongyi thought that those Ming troops had been cleaned up by Li Yingyuan's horse team.
Li Jiucheng stared straight at the clairvoyant mirror, and the more he looked at it, the more wrong his expression became. Seeing this, Geng Zhongyi suddenly paused: Could it be that something happened?
Without waiting for him to ask, he saw Li Jiucheng put down the clairvoyant mirror and shouted at the artillery battalion urgently: "Fire, fire!" ”
The gunners will all sit on the ground, and the officers will also gather around to say some happy things about the girls, and when they heard the commander shouting to fire the cannons, they were all shocked, and looked back at Li Jiucheng inexplicably, and his eyes seemed to ask if the Ming army was defeated, what kind of artillery should be fired?
Seeing that his subordinates were still stunned, Li Jiucheng scolded angrily: "Are you all fucking deaf?" Lao Tzu told you to set off the cannons, hurry up and fire the cannons! ”
"Huh? Yes! ”
Seeing that Du Shuai's face was wrong, the officers hurriedly reacted, and the gunners also jumped up and rushed to the gun position to prepare to fire the gun.
This will not need to be clairvoyant, Geng Zhongyi also saw what happened - the horse team that was chasing the Ming army was being chased back by the cavalry of the Ming army!
This Ming army has cavalry? Geng Zhongyi was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Li Jiucheng's hand that he was about to wave, and said hurriedly: "Du Shuai, this cannon can't be beaten!" ”
"Why can't we fight, if we don't fight again, the Ming army will come at us!" Li Jiucheng was a little anxious.
Geng Zhongyi pointed forward: "Ying Yuan hasn't come back yet!" Our brothers are all over there, and if we start a cannon, our people will be finished! ”
Hearing him say this, Li Jiucheng suddenly remembered that his son was still leading the horse team over there, if this cannon was a hit, it would not be divided between you and me, and he would really blow up his own son to death, didn't he Li Jiucheng cut off the incense and do evil!
The cavalry of the Ming army chased in a hurry, biting the horse team tightly, Li Jiucheng did not dare to open fire, and was afraid that his son would be caught up by the Ming army, so he hurriedly said to Geng Zhongyi: "Then you quickly bring someone up to pick up Ying Yuan and come back!" ”
"Good!"
Geng Zhongyi was not ambiguous, pulled his horse's head, and raised his hand towards his own soldiers, and the soldiers immediately waved their flags, and suddenly, three thousand Liao soldiers with firearms poured out of the large array.
"Brothers, follow me and let the Ming army taste our strength!"
Geng Zhongyi is the cousin of Geng Zhongming, a disciple of Shandong No. 3 Mine, who is quite fierce and has a lot of rules and regulations. He saw that the cavalry of the Ming army was clenching the horse team, and the 3,000 foot soldiers who rushed over were frightened by the cavalry and began to retreat. If this goes straight up, it will definitely be scattered by the rout. Therefore, the order was passed on, and the army column moved forward slowly, not too fast, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Ming army if the formation was out of order. If a rout dares to rush into their formation, they will be defeated directly.
Although he was anxious to rescue his son, Li Jiucheng also knew that Geng Zhongyi's command was right, and this would definitely not be chaotic, as long as it was not chaotic, the Ming army would not be able to rush into the big array. As long as the brigade is not chaotic, it is impossible for the Ming army to keep clenching on to it. When they get near, a burst of fire strikes, and they retreat.
