Chapter 242: Another Sneak Attack

Under everyone's incredulous gaze, Heisenberg commanded the artillery battalion to begin to move forward, and the gunners methodically pushed the guns forward, as if they were training. Zhang Shishi, who stood at the head of the grenadier battalion, had never seen such an artillery soldier who dared to fight and rush to death, and in his impression, the artillery team commanded by Kong Youde at that time had always opened fire under the cover of the musket team and the cavalry team, and immediately transferred at the slightest disturbance.

The fourth salvo of artillery fired, and dozens of solid shells whistled down on the thieves, becoming an unforgettable nightmare for them. Under the cover of darkness, the thieves could not distinguish between the real and the false, and were beaten by the powerful twelve-pounder cannon ploughing the ground, and did not dare to attack rashly.

Tian Fuzhen, who was standing beside Li Xin, sighed with infinite emotion, "If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty dare to fight to the death so much, how can the Tartars wreak havoc on my land of China!" ”

Although he is now holding the position of the Gaoshan Guard Weapons Bureau, he is actually doing the work of the commander of the Three Guards Army, and the material dispatch of all parties is from him, and it is well organized and has never made a mistake. Now that the army is dispatched, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and auxiliaries at every turn, and it is no longer like the thousands of people in the past. Although the grass platform team of the Three Guards Army has been set up, there are not many real available talents, and Tian Fuzhen, who was born as a scholar and has no poor shelf, naturally became Li Xin's first choice.

The rumbling sound was deafening, the ground under his feet trembled with each salvo, and the horse's restless hooves ploughed the ground, snorting back and forth, but fortunately the horse's ears had been plugged in beforehand, so as not to be frightened.

Master Guo disagreed with Tian Fuzhen's statement, "The number of fortunes in the Jiangshan Society is so, and the Ming Dynasty has such a catastrophe, since the Apocalypse Dynasty, there are fewer people in the court who dare to fight?" It's not that the more you fight, the worse it gets! In Guo's opinion, Tartar is just a disease of scabies..."He stretched out his hand and pointed at the countless thieves in the night sky in front of him, "They are my Ming's henchmen, if you don't get rid of them......"

"Shut up!"

Tian Fuzhen scolded Master Guo and continued, after all, he is an orthodox court official, although he is degraded like an official, but the set of loyalty to the country in his bones has been unforgettable, I am afraid that even if it is burned to ashes, it will be unforgettable. Master Guo's words sounded like a great rebellion, could it be that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted? It's just ......

Boom Boom!

Another earth-shattering salvo overshadowed everyone's words and thoughts, Li Xin pretended not to hear the dispute between the two subordinates, his current thoughts were much more realistic than when he was in Gaoyang, and he didn't dare to pack a ticket whether his personal strength could turn the tide and collapse. What he can do now is to reverse the misfortune of the Ming Dynasty while preserving himself.

After such a confrontation for nearly an hour, the army of thieves retreated violently, and even Li Xin did not expect that the huge thieves would be scared away by artillery alone. Of course, if we analyze it carefully, there are certainly reasons for the cannons, and many objective factors such as the cover of the night have also created the miracle of this artillery bombardment.

The Three Guards roared with joy, and Heisenberg ordered the artillery battalion to return to the phalanx, only to see that under the reflection of the blazing torches, this dilapidated nobleman from the West, with his head held high, happily came to Li Xin to resume his life.

Seeing this scene, Master Guo muttered in a low voice, "The red-haired ghost is very proud, it's just a fluke!" ”

"Manager Guo must not talk nonsense, no matter how he is Huaxia Yidi, just this courage to dare to attack the enemy in front of the battle is worthy of your and me's admiration!"

It was Tian Fuzhen who spoke, this surnamed Guo is simply a big tongue, what should be said and what should not be said is always believed by the horse, that is, under Li Xin, if he had changed places, I am afraid that he would have taken the lock and punished him a long time ago. Now the Three Guards have a special person to record their exploits, and Heisenberg's victory in this battle was naturally recorded in the credit book. If Master Guo's words are used by people with intentions, wouldn't it be to mess up the morale of the army?

Tian Fuzhen went through a complicated political struggle between the DPRK and China, and he knew very well that where there are people, there is a truth in the rivers and lakes, and there can be no eternal harmony between anything and anyone. However, he seemed to see this slight exception in the Three Guards, and although he did not believe his eyes and ears, the instinct of the old officialdom prevailed.

Although in Tian Fuzhen's eyes, the Three Guards are like newborn crops, full of vigor and vitality. The eyes are full of enthusiasm and heat, and its vigorous vitality makes people's blood boil. He hadn't heard the news of the victory of the imperial court for a long time, and in his impression, the imperial army's army had rotted to the bones, if it wasn't for the three guards going south this time, how could he have the opportunity to see the courage and wisdom of the Ming border army.

In Tian Fuzhen's heart, a seed is gradually germinating, although this is only a few insignificant battles, but he smells unprecedented hope.

The war horses were bumpy, and after the Three Guards frightened back the army of thieves in the first battle, they immediately changed the horizontal team into two columns, marched rapidly, and went north to chase the people. Finally, before dawn, Kankan arrived at Beiloukou.

Including Huang Sheng, many people meant to rest for a day in Beiloukou before advancing, but Li Xin insisted on going north immediately, Beiloukou is not a place to stay for a long time, the army of thieves has nearly 100,000 people, after dawn, once the other party launches an attack regardless of a qiē, this place may not be able to hold. Even if it can be defended with the help of the Three Guards, this place is not a place to stay for long.

Only when he arrived in Hunyuan Prefecture was a relatively safe place, at the beginning of the formation of the Three Guards, he had already ordered Mao Weizhang to select people to strengthen the city defense of Hunyuan Prefecture, and trained militia in various places in the name of the three general military offices. This militia is not a civilian army, it is a local army officially recognized by the three general military offices, and all officers are awarded by the general military office. This is also one of the reasons why Wu Shan did not dare to attack Hunyuan Prefecture lightly.

There is another point, Li Xin judged that the top priority of the army was to quickly take the Bauhinia Pass, and going north to Datong Mansion was a difficult bone to gnaw, even if he tried his best to take it, he would have to face the defensive barriers of Wanquan and other places. The Bauhinia Pass is different, as long as the Bauhinia Pass is taken, to the east is a horse Pingchuan, which can be reached directly from Zhuozhou to the Ming Jingshi. Therefore, based on this, Li Xin judged that as long as the people withdrew to Datong Mansion, the thieves would no longer do their best to pursue them.

Now in the Three Guards Army, Li Xin has spoken all his word, since he insists on it, naturally no one will insist on opposing it anymore, and the people are asked to go north immediately, although there are complaints, they still drag their tired bodies and continue to rush north.

After crossing the Hunyuan River, Li Xin suddenly called several henchmen, including the battalion officers of the infantry battalions, as well as Tian Fuzhen, Master Guo and others, who contacted and dispatched the auxiliary troops, and announced his order in public.

"After the soldiers and auxiliaries have passed the Hunyuan River, they must quickly break away from the people and go all the way to the southwest along the Hunyuan River, let's go to Ningwu Pass! Master Guo! ”

Li Xin turned his gaze to Master Guo, "You don't have to pass with the army, this marshal will give you the task of liaising with the people of Hunyuan Prefecture on behalf of the people, here is a letter, it is written to Mao Zhenfu......"

Master Guo is a little inexplicable, not only Master Guo is a little inexplicable, don't the Three Guards go back to Hunyuan Prefecture to rest? If you don't know Hunyuan Prefecture, what will you do in Ningwu?

"Small, villain obeys!"

Although Master Guo didn't know much about Li Xin's intentions, he still reached out first and took the letter, carefully put it into his arms, and listened to what else he had to say.

"Presumably, you are all a little puzzled by Ben Shuai's decision, right?"

Li Xin looked around, his face gradually became solemn, and he said slowly: "If my Three Guards return to Hunyuan Prefecture this time, then what is the point of you and I being born and dying this time?" Is it just to save tens of thousands of people? That's not my intention, and I guess it's not your intention. I, Li Xin, hereby swear to drive the thieves out of Shanxi! Are you willing to go with Li Xin? ”

When Tian Fuzhen heard Li Xin's oath, he felt his blood boiling, and he was the first to stand up.

"Xia Guan is willing to go to the soup with the handsome!"

Only then did everyone react, and they all expressed their willingness to live and die with Li Xin, go to the soup and fire, and be willing to shed blood for Daming!

"The marshal returned to Taiyuan Mansion from Ningwu, a good move to fight in Mingxiu, secretly crossing Chencang, the thieves thought that the Three Guards had returned to Hunyuan Prefecture, but they never imagined that we would kill a horse gun again, and it was unexpected!"

Master Guo shook his head at Li Xin's actions and analyzed it, and everyone was impressed!

Li Xin nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly said, "Since they all agree, why are you still stunned?" Let's do it! Everyone responded, and dispersed, and the Three Guards broke away from the ranks of the people and went southwest along the Hunyuan River!

……

"What? Daizhou City was taken by King Chuang's army? This, this is impossible, what about Li Xin of the Three Guards? ”

Kong Youde's face was full of disbelief, Daizhou was easily taken, and Li Xin's Three Guards were not dry.

"Back to the big leader, the defenders and people of Daizhou escaped from Beiloukou overnight and went to Hunyuan Prefecture, thinking that they were afraid of our prestige!"

Kong Youde laughed angrily and scolded: "The prestige of the fart, the one surnamed Li has never been afraid of the Manchu Tartar army, and he is still afraid of you rabble?" ”

His first reaction was that this guy was going to have some tricks, so he asked, "Where did this news come from, but is it true?" ”

"It's true, Daizhou City was burned to the ground, how can it be fake?"

Even Daizhou City was burned, Kong Youde was even more confused, and he felt a mess in his head, so he turned his gaze to Wu Shan.

I saw Wu Shan holding the handle of the Yanling knife at his waist, and his fingers had lost their blood and turned white because of excessive force. After a while, I let out a long sigh!

"Brother Kong, you and I have failed in this plan to lure the enemy!"

Since Li Xin did not follow the path drawn by Wu Shan, their previous raids and actions seemed inconsequential and meaningless!
