Chapter 140: Kong Youde, who feels despised by him

Kong Youde is very proud, especially recently, the successive victories have made him feel very comfortable, especially the actions of his subordinates to persuade him to be the king, which made him feel very proud, see it, what is this, this is the will of the people, this is the will of God!

But he didn't do such a thing as being the king, what did Ming Taizu do at that time? Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king! He is just a monk, and he can sit in the world after the most difficult time, how can he say that the starting point is much higher than his Zhu Chongba, there should be a chance!

So he rejected his subordinates' suggestion to let him be the king, originally he wanted Sun Yuanhua to be the first bird, but he didn't expect that he didn't come, so he asked Zhang Tao to bring someone to be this substitute ghost. He Zhang Tao did not have Sun Yuanhua's qualifications, so he had to lock him up.

Kong Youde now calls himself the generalissimo, and the generals below him have all been named the chief soldiers, at first glance, he really looks good! But unlike the joy of his subordinates, Kong Youde knew that if Daming got serious and the soldiers started to suppress him, he would not be able to hold it.

Therefore, it is necessary to lay down Laizhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou are the two important towns of the Jiaodong Peninsula, if you control these two places, you will be invincible, and you can control Shandong and even the capital. Retreat can become a country of its own, in case of failure, you can also enter Liaodong, and in case of failure, you can also reduce the posterior.

Thinking of this, Kong Youde looked at the people under the hall, and then shouted: "Everyone, now that our army has just won a big victory, it is time to continue to expand the victory, I have decided to attack Laizhou in three days, and you must be ready to defeat Laizhou." A future for future generations! ”

Hearing Kong Youde's obvious hint, the generals present were thrilled in their hearts, if they continued with such a victory, they would be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister in the future, and seek a hereditary wealth for future generations, which is also possible. Therefore, everyone shouted in unison: "You must take Laizhou!" ”

Kong Youde was very satisfied with the performance of the generals present, and he was just about to continue to encourage his generals more, when he heard a voice suddenly come from outside the door, "Report!" Laizhou City has sent troops! ”

Sent troops? Lao Tzu hasn't even beaten you yet, you dare to send troops? Have these people forgotten the Denlai fiasco a month ago? Itchy skin again? It's good. If you dare to come to seek death, I will fulfill you and let you remember this lesson well.

Kong Youde, who felt angry in his heart, made up his mind and asked in a deep voice: "How many people are coming from the other party." Who is the leader? ”

"Look at the banner is the general Wang Hu. The number of people watching is probably less than 12,000! The herald immediately gave the latest information.

"How many? 12,000 people! Ladies and gentlemen. The imperial court also thinks too highly of itself, and even sent more than 10,000 people to beat us, you say. Do we want to eat this great gift? Kong Youde is very angry now, the other party dares to beat him with such a few people, which is too indiscriminate.

Mao Chenglu shouted loudly: "Hehe, I don't know if Lu Dao is the imperial court or Wang Hu is stupid, he dares to beat us with such a few people, there is no need to trouble you, I will go and get Wang Hu's head back alone." ”

Kong Youde shook his head and said to Mao Chenglu: "Don't be big, he Wang Hu is still a little famous recently, and he still made some contributions to the peasant army in Shanxi, and he recently destroyed the six hundred cavalry of Houjin, the strength should not be underestimated, we must take it seriously!" ”

Listening to Kong Youde's statement, Mao Chenglu was very dissatisfied, and he said loudly: "I think we are in Liaodong, and we often fight with the Houjin Tartars, when have you ever been afraid?" Now we have to be afraid of a person who has barely beaten a few peasants? ”

Kong Youde listened and glanced at Mao Youlu, but it was hard to say anything, after all, when he raised his army, it was Mao Chenglu who took the lead in responding in Liaodong, although he failed, but this favor must be remembered, and the hearts of this group of old brothers in Liaodong cannot be chilled.

When Li Jiucheng saw it, he hurriedly stood up to play a round, and he said to Mao Chenglu: "My army has won a hundred battles, who has been filmed!" However, the marshal's consideration is right, let's go all out and use the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai to destroy Wang Hu in one fell swoop, so as to not only reflect our strength, but also not let go of one! ”

Kong Youde nodded, and he said loudly: "Mr. Li is right, we just want to use the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai to crush and crush Wang Hu's team in one fell swoop, so that the imperial court will know that if you want to destroy us, you must send at least 100,000 troops, and if you don't do it, you will send us food!" ”

Su Yougong said loudly below: "The marshal said very much, last time the officers and soldiers ran more than 100 people, this time we want to fight for no one to escape, let the court know that we are powerful!" ”

The other generals also nodded in agreement, after their winning streak, it was the time when their self-confidence was inflated, at this time, not to mention 10,000 people, it was 100,000 people, they all dared to go up and fight a dozen, they felt that the other party had only sent more than 10,000 people, which was really underestimating.

Clean and beautiful defeat of the opponent, make the court more afraid, more afraid, for themselves to bargain with the court in the future, this has become the consensus of everyone, as for failure, they never thought at all, there are more than 40,000 people on their side, and they will fail? Joke!

"The whole army is dispatched to destroy Wang Hu, let's raise a glass and drink again!" Kong Youde stood up and shouted loudly.

With Kong Youde's order, the army quickly assembled, Kong Youde looked at his black army, and waved his hand in high spirits: "Let's go!" Defeat Wang Hu, I will celebrate for you! ”

The soldiers have won a hundred battles recently, and it is the time when their confidence is high, when they hear that they are going to fight Wang Hu, and the other party has more than 10,000 people, they are all excited, this is a credit for nothing! They also heard from their generals that the marshal can be the son of heaven in the future, and he will perform well, won't he lay the foundation for future wealth?

In the case of excitement, the team's marching speed was very fast, and they immediately met Wang Dalun, who had been killed. Wang Dalun was probably frightened by the other party's rapid movements, and the soldiers were in a mess, and they didn't set up an attack formation for half a day.

Mao Chenglu looked at the mess on the other side, and said to Kong Youde proudly: "Marshal, I'll just say that you are too worried, you look at the other side like this, like a person who can fight, so he Wang Hu can only bully the peasant army and deal with us, he is still a little tender!" ”

Kong Youde looked at the mess on the other side, shook his head, and said to Mao Chenglu: "It seems that I am too cautious, hey, I can't listen to the boasting these years, I treat him Wang Hu as an opponent in vain, but I can't be so vulnerable!" ”

Li Jiucheng's son Li Yingyuan was only in his twenties, and when he was young and vigorous, he shouted loudly from the side: "Marshal, give the order to fire!" As soon as the cannon sounds, our army will attack again, and it is estimated that the victory or defeat of this battle will be decided! ”

Li Yingyuan's words made the generals on the side nod their heads, and in their opinion, the direction of the development of this battle was also like this. There is no suspense in the pure!

Kong Youde also nodded, and shouted loudly: "Fire!" Prepare to attack! ”

With Kong Youde's order, Sun Chengzong spent a lot of money to invite Portuguese technicians and instructors to build a cannon fire, these twenty red-coated cannons are very large, under the training of the Portuguese instructors finally learned to use the artillery ready to shine.

The cannon made a loud noise, and the people in this formation were shocked by the cannon so that their ears were a little inaudible, only to see the cannon fly into the enemy formation, and the solid bullet fell to the ground, and then bounced up again, and swept straight and straight over, when the person kept breaking his hands and feet, and swept out a bloody road!

The regimental training team that was still messing around just now was even more chaotic, they simply threw away the weapons in their hands, and began to turn around and run back, the cavalry was even more unbearable, the huge sound frightened the horses, and the horses' farts ran around, so frightened that the cavalry on the horse hurriedly pacified the horses, and then ran away.

Seeing that the cannon sounded once and frightened the other party to scatter and flee, Mao Chenglu and other generals were even more proud, and they laughed and said on the horse: "Pus! It scared away with just one attack, and it was really vulnerable! Marshal, give the order to pursue, everyone go and catch the sheep! ”

Kong Youde was also very proud, and he laughed and said, "The whole army is pursuing!" Chase them to the city of Laizhou, and today we will break the city! ”

With Kong Youde's order, the army moved, first Kong Youde's cavalry, then the infantry of each department, as for the artillery, forget it, the cannon is so heavy, let's stay where we are, and when we come back from victory, let's celebrate together.

Wang Dalun rode on the horse, to be honest, the shelling just now still made him break out in a cold sweat, but he still kept an eye on it, and ordered except for the people in the first and second rows, the others all dug a pit, and the sound of the cannon sounded, everyone lay on the ground, and the other party looked messy just now, but they were actually busy digging the pit.

So this shelling, the casualties were not much, and forty or fifty unlucky people were hit by shells, as soon as the shelling ended, Wang Dalun immediately jumped on his horse and said loudly: "Put iron thorns, hurry up, sprinkle them all on me, and then run away!" ”

Following Wang Dalun's orders, I saw that the soldiers in the first few rows even threw their weapons, and then threw the iron thorns on their backs to the ground, and then ran wildly with their heads in their hands.

In ancient times, the iron spike was a sharp weapon to hinder the cavalry's charging speed, and after the irregular spikes were stepped on by the horse's hooves, the horse's legs would not be injured at the lightest, and the horse's legs would be cut off at worst. Therefore, the pursuing cavalry rushed to the front of the regimental training formation, looked at the iron thorns that flashed with cold light, and stopped the charge of the horses one after another.

"Damn, it's despicable! You see, there are not only iron thorns on the ground, but also pitfalls for horses, and as soon as the horse goes up, it will be destroyed! These guys are cowards who want to run away before they even fight! The cavalrymen cursed bitterly, these things affected the speed of their pursuit, and they had to watch the infantry run past them.

"Quickly clean up these things, and when they are finished, continue to pursue, and when they are caught and know who gave the order, I have to take out all his intestines!" The cavalry leader said very depressedly. (To be continued......)
