"Luo Yukun really suffered a big loss!" Liu Fangliang excitedly paced back and forth in the Chinese military tent. He got the news that Luo Yukun hit the nail board at the junction of Qingdao and Lai, and suffered heavy losses, and the camp head of tens of thousands of people was smashed in an instant, and only more than 3,000 people fled to Yanzhou in the south.

"I said a long time ago, Prince Zhu's army is not an idle person, two or three hundred people dare to rush to the enemy formation and slash Daxu, do you think, that can be casually bumped up?" Liu Fangliang daxiao said: "Zhang Hong, you immediately prepare the people, he can't fight, let's fight!" Just go the way he went! ”

"There were a lot of people and horses when he passed, I'm afraid it won't be easy to collect grain along the way, right?" Zhang Hong was a major general under Liu Fangliang, and he was guarded by him after Liu Fangliang left Baoding. This time, Li Zicheng conscripted troops to the east, Zhang Hong only left his relatives and sent the rest of the horses to Beijing, but Liu Fangliang had the intention of picking up the missing and summoned him to Qingzhou.

Although Zhang Hong felt that Baoding was empty, he wanted to have Ren Jirong in the south of Baoding to guard Zhending, and Beijing in the north as a barrier, so that it would not be stolen by anyone, so he sorted out the people and horses of the department and went south to meet Liu Fangliang in Qingzhou.

"I have already requisitioned grain and grass, so I don't have to collect grain along the way. As long as you lay down Laizhou, you are not afraid of not having food. Liu Fangliang smiled again: "There is a way to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred." With Luo Yukun as our pawn, we just went to collect this cheap prince. ”

Zhang Hong knew that Prince Zhu's soldiers were insufficient, otherwise he would not have had to retreat all the way from Ruyang to Shandong. Seeing that the overall situation of the world has been decided, the titles have been largely decided. In the future, if you want to make meritorious contributions, I am afraid that you will have to go to the Liaodong border to fight the Manchurian captives. It is better to follow Cihou to knock down Shandong first, so as to find a place for his children and grandchildren.

It's no secret that there are gold mines in Laizhou.

Although the two have their own plans: one cares about immortality, and the other cares about the blessed land of the family, but it has become a consensus to lay down Laizhou. Now that the military strategy has reached an agreement, just wait for the grain and grass to arrive. The army drove from Qingzhou to Laizhou, taking the old road of Luo Yukun sending people and things.

……

On the eighth day of the fifth month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Dashun army stepped on the dry earth, and the dust floated up three feet high. The lookouts in the dense mountains and forests, holding clairvoyant mirrors, immediately discovered the signs of the coming army.

And before that. Because of the information provided by Xu Dian, Xiao Mo's First Guards Battalion was ready to face the battle, and even Xiao Donglou sent an artillery bureau to take this opportunity to train soldiers.

Soon, puffs of black smoke rose from the trees in the mountains, followed by the rapid sound of jingling bells in the nearby villages. When the farmer in the field heard the bell ringing, he immediately threw down his work and ran to the village with his tools and the oxen in his arms.

The militia and defenders of the village rushed to the first line of defense with wheeled "wall carts", expertly rolling the wheels into the pits that had been dug long ago. The bricks are buried in the earth and stones, and in the blink of an eye there is a solid breastwork.

In this way, the 100 sections of the breastwork were connected, leaving the middle empty, and in a matter of moments, the first line of defense was erected in front of the village.

Liu Fangliang was very puzzled, and there was no trace of the army fighting along the way, not even a single scattered corpse. When the prospect Malay reported that there was a village blocking the road in front of him, Cihou was even more surprised that there were really praying mantis in this world who dared to block the car.

"Can you pass the card?" Liu Fangliang asked the tanma.

"Go back to the Hou Ye, don't wait for my department to approach. Those rebellious people then fired their guns and arrows, obviously to resist to the death. Tanma replied.

Liu Fangliang was puzzled. Zhang Hong, the general, stepped forward and said: "Master Hou, when the end of the year will go to level this village!" ”

Liu Fangliang nodded slightly: "It's okay, bring more people, don't be careless!" ”

Zhang Hong came out and pointed out the soldiers of the headquarters, about 1,000 people. Raise the firecrackers and kill the small village that doesn't even have a name.

……

Zhu Cihong simply drew a line on the sand table, but the staff officers of each department had to ride horses and lead local guides for several days to inspect all the intersections and key passes, and the villages with residential houses were set up as villages. There are no dwellings but the military fort is built in a dangerous place. Considering that the main threat today comes from the north, the building materials are also more inclined to Xiao Mo's territory. Before letting Luo Yukun take this route and handing over people in front of this village called "Fengjia Village", he also had the intention of giving psychological hints to Liu Fangliang.

Luo Yukun later retreated south to Yanzhou, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by the East Palace, but also to prevent Liu Fangliang from playing cards according to common sense and attacking the southern section of the Lexia defensive line.

On this battlefield designed by Donggong Haode, the guest army will definitely not take advantage.

Zhang Hong's men and horses quickly rushed to the chest wall defense. The infantry set up the ladder and began to storm the wall.

There was a loud bang in the village.

Furlong's cannon spat out solid iron bullets that flew over the breastwork and smashed into the crowd.

This wall not only deterred the charge of the horsemen, but also marked the range of the artillery. The gunner only needs to make the aiming direction, choose the angle according to the scale on the partition, and fill in a certain amount of gunpowder, and then the shell can be fired to the predetermined landing point. As a daily live-fire training, the gunners are very skillful.

Rumble!

The second gun fired shells after a short gap.

The solid bullet landed on the dry and hard ground, bounced high, and roared to tear the Shun troops around him into shredded flesh.

It was the first time for Zhang Hong to encounter a village equipped with artillery, and his heart was already half cold. He probably knew that Luo Yukun Weishenme would "suffer heavy losses".

"Rush over!" Zhang Hong pulled out his knife and urged loudly: "The one who breaks the door first will be rewarded with fifty taels!" ”

The cannon rang out again, engulfing Zhang Hong's voice.

The dark iron projectile burst through the air and directly smashed the head of a Shun army to pieces. The cannonball fell heavily on the ground, and immediately bounced, tearing four or five people around one after another, and for a while I saw blood rain all over the sky and the sound of miserable screams.

The breastwork was only a foot wide, and no one could stand. When the Shun army rushed up the breastwork, he had to jump down from the six-foot-high wall. Although it is not high, dense bamboo spears and wooden thorns have been prepared under the wall, and it is categorically not pleased. The person in front couldn't stand on it, and he couldn't turn around and run back, so he could only jump down hard when pushed by the person behind.

These bamboo spears and wooden thorns, also known as "tiger falls", unless they are unlucky enough to be stabbed to the vital point, they will not easily die, but will only be disabled. There are people everywhere who are not afraid of death, but they have a deeper fear of physical disabilities, which is simply worse than death. The people in the back didn't know what was on the other side of the wall, they only heard the screams, and the army's heart was naturally turbulent, and they couldn't hesitate, but just dealt with the warlords.

Zhang Hong personally rushed forward, hacked to death two soldiers who wanted to escape, and ordered people to spread out the battle line and rush to kill from the empty space left in the middle of the breastwork.

The empty space of the breastwork wall is also the same to resist horses and tigers, which can prevent cavalry but not infantry. After paying a small sacrifice, the Dashun army successfully rushed through the breastwork, and also saw the tragic experience of their comrades behind the wall. Before they could feel pity, the sound of arrows breaking through the air rang out and fell on their heads.

In the face of such a rain of arrows, there is only the impact of the top shield and the blind zone of projectile.

"Thirty steps! Raise~! ”

"Twenty steps! Put! ”

The firebolt spits out the gun's flames neatly, sending out a puff of projectiles, forming a dense impact surface.

The soldiers who rushed to the front of the Dashun army were instantly beaten into a sieve and fell to the ground screaming. The soldiers behind stepped on the corpses of their fallen comrades, shouted meaningless phonemes to embolden themselves, and continued to rush towards the fire team with their weapons in their arms.

"Put!"

The second row of filled musketeers pulled the trigger in unison and fired the bullets.

Another line of soldiers in blue arrow suits fell to the ground, convulsing and wailing in the blood.

"Kill!"

The bloody qi stimulated the Shun soldiers behind them, and they burst out at a faster speed and rushed towards the front of the Ming army. They seem to remember that they have fought such a tough battle, but the price to regain this memory is too high.

In order to ensure maximum density of firing, the musketeers of the Guards battalion did not use three-stage fire, but two-stage fire. After the shooting, the firecrackers retreated and changed formations according to the route of the previous drill, and let the mandarin duck formation division behind them step forward.

Wearing triple armor and holding a rattan card, Liu Xi finally stood in front of the enemy again. This time, the injuries on his body have basically healed. During the recuperation period, he weighed a few pounds, and the armor became fuller and fuller.

Liu Xi stood at the front of the team majestically with a rattan card in one hand and a wrought iron mallet in the other, bowed slightly, kicked his hind legs, and the whole person ejected, shouting loudly: "Kill!" ”

In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky, the earth trembled, and the red torrent swept inexorably towards the exhausted enemy soldiers. (To be continued......)
