Chapter 486: The Short-lived Great Western Dynasty (Part II)
In the south of Wuchang City, about twenty miles away from Wuchang City, Sun Kewang led the army to gallop, with strong killing intent, and went to meet the Dashun army with overwhelming momentum, and at this moment, the army suddenly stopped.
"General, listen to it, please listen to what your subordinates say!"
The general Feng Shuangli immediately blocked the way forward of Sun Kewang, the king of Dingnan, and the army suddenly stopped, and there was no order from him at all, Sun Kewang suddenly became angry, raised his eyebrows, and scolded: "Feng Shuangli, do you want to rebel?" ”
"The general must not be angry, his subordinates don't dare, and they don't have the guts, please listen to the general's words."
Feng Shuangli hurriedly responded, but he was still in the way, not waiting for Sun Kewang to attack again, what to say, and then said: "General, you must be calm, think about it, let's fight like this, what is the probability of winning with the Dashun army?" ”
Obviously, Sun Kewang felt as if he had been poured a basin of cold water in his face, and his anger gradually subsided, and he was not so angry.
He knew very well in his heart that the so-called odds of winning, even in the best of circumstances, were very few.
It seems that Feng Shuangli didn't expect to get Sun Kewang's answer, and while sensitively catching the change in the other party's expression, the nervous nerves relaxed a little, but he still hung a heart, and then said: "At this time, the soldiers of the Dashun army are pressing the border, and they are determined to win Wuchang Mansion, which is not something that our army can stop." ”
"Moreover, just when he was out of the city, the last general also asked those soldiers again to find out more information, the Dashun army was menacing, almost in the morning, the state capitals and counties around Wuchang Mansion that we occupied were all taken by the other party."
"Dense firepower, a large number of red-coated cannons and other firearms, the soldiers defending the city do not have the slightest power to fight back, the other side is only one or two thousand, and they can beat nearly 10,000 defenders!"
At this moment, Sun Kewang had completely calmed down, his face sank like water, his mood sank to the bottom, and he asked faintly: "Then you say, what should we do next?" ”
"General, in the opinion of the last general, we should avoid the edge for the time being, try not to fight head-on with the Dashun army as much as possible, and preserve our strength.
Feng Shuangli blurted out without the slightest hesitation, and when it came to the emotional part, he said excitedly: "Moreover, with the current situation, Jiangxia will not be able to keep it, and sooner or later it will be reoccupied by the Dashun army." In this case, let's bypass Jiangxia and escape into the mountains, so that the Dashun army can't find us, and then continue south, into Yungui and other places, to develop our strength and expand our troops. ”
I have to say that Sun Kewang was already moved, acquiesced to Feng Shuangli's suggestion, and was even more clever not to mention Zhang Xianzhong and others.
In the west of Wuchang City, Zhang Xianzhong led the army to just walk out of thirty miles, and met Qin Liangyu's department head-on, looking at the dusty scene, Qin Liangyu had at least 10,000 troops behind him, and the equipment was even better, and the easy-to-carry tiger squat cannon loomed, and he sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "It's not good, it seems that Li Zicheng wants to put me to death, regardless of the past at all!" ”
Zhang Xianzhong regretted it, regretted acting so recklessly, although there were tens of thousands of people behind him, but it couldn't give him the confidence to win at all, but he became more and more bottomless.
Qin Liangyu took the lead, he had already stopped, and when he saw Zhang Xianzhong, his eyes flashed twice, and the cold light was fleeting, without any opening remarks, his right hand went up, and he shouted softly: "Tiger squat cannon preparation, shelling!" ”
Two small flags waved, and in an instant, the cannon rumbled, shaking the surroundings, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the war horses neighed, and Zhang Xianzhong's camp followed with a chaotic howl, the formation was chaotic, and the soldiers began to scatter in all directions.
Boom boom...
Bang bang bang ...
Tiger squat cannon and three-eyed guns such as continuous firearms, on the battlefield, the battle is simply one-sided crushing, Zhang Xianzhong's troops continue to retreat, constantly fleeing in all directions, but Qin Liangyu and the others are as immobile as a mountain, every certain amount of time, they slowly move forward, they seem so calm and unhurried, and they are in the chest.
In this way, the artillery bombardment and strafing lasted for more than ten minutes, and the Dashun army was less than 100 meters away from Zhang Xianzhong's front-line troops, and Qin Liangyu launched the final charge order.
"Zeng Ying, Li Zhanchun, you led 3,000 men and horses to kill from the left flank."
"Yu Dahai, Wang Xiang, give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, and outflank them from the right flank."
"Yang Zhan, Cao Xun, you lead 3,000 men and horses to charge head-on, and I will give you artillery support in the rear."
......
Qin Liangyu has never been so cool as today, his command can be described as handy, his own side completely occupies an overwhelming advantage, has a large number of firearms, and the opponent can't raise his head at all, especially the artillery bombardment, which completely interrupted the formation of Zhang Xianzhong's department, and exploded a large area, like a school of fish in the water.
Although the strength of the two sides is very different, but the firearms completely make up for this shortcoming, although Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry combat effectiveness is not weak, almost everyone is two horses, but still can not block the impact of firearms, the shock wave brought by the explosion.
At the same time, how similar is the situation on the other two battlefields?
Whether it is Liu Wenxiu or Ai Nengqi, there is no room to fight back at all, so they can only be passively beaten, passively beaten by shells, and eat guns!
In the afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, about four or five o'clock, and there were constantly scattered troops gathering towards Wuchang City, but the four gates were closed, and these defeated soldiers had no way at all and were blocked out of the city.
Zhang Xianzhong also fled back in embarrassment, unkempt, disheveled, reckless with half an arm, with three arrows stuck in his waist, like a thief, how could he still have a little bit of a hero's appearance, the same as what happened to others, was also blocked out of the city.
"Hurry up and open the city gate, I am Zhang Xianzhong, the emperor of the Great Western Dynasty, open the city gate quickly!"
Zhang Xianzhong kept roaring at the city gate, full of anger, and he was already anxious with anger, however, the city gate was still closed, but Liu Jinzhong appeared on the city wall, with a slight smile on his face, and said mockingly: "Eight kings, when is it now, you are still dreaming of the emperor?" ”
After a pause, Liu Jinzhong glanced back at Wuchang City, with a stronger smile on his face and a heavier taste of ridicule.
"The so-called Great Western Dynasty is just a flash in the pan, and you still have to tie your hands and ...... honestly"
Liu Jinzhong's words stopped abruptly, his eyes staring straight at the city, and he was interrupted by the deputy general beside him, who reminded him in a low voice.
"General, there is something wrong with the situation, the soldiers are gathering more and more, if this continues, our situation will not be good, it is very likely that we will not be able to hold Wuchang City, it is better to make a decision quickly!"
In an instant, Liu Jinzhong was excited, and suddenly thought of a lot, and understood the sound of the deputy general, the words of suggestion, yes, there are still many Zhang Xianzhong's diehard elements in the city, once those people are gathered, he Liu Jinzhong has no choice.
The king of Hades is easy to do, but the little ghosts are difficult to deal with, but this is the case, those soldiers who are hiding in the city, once gathered, will be a force that is difficult to ignore, united together, desperately, can completely seize a city gate.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Jinzhong's heart hung up, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "What do you say we should do to control the situation?" ”
"General, of course, the man shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first."
The adjutant general blurted out without hesitation, and even took a step forward, clinging to Liu Jinzhong, and echoed: "General, as long as there is no Zhang Xianzhong as the backbone, no matter how many soldiers gather in the city, there will be no trouble." ”
Hearing this, Liu Jinzhong's heart suddenly moved, his face showed a sudden and relaxed look, and turned into full of ruthlessness, shouting: "Come on, release arrows, drive away these troublemakers!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Liu Jinzhong even grabbed a bow, aimed at Zhang Xianzhong, shot arrows with a bow, and shot Zhang Xianzhong at the same time with several henchmen, and released several arrows in a row.
Looking at the oncoming dense arrows, Zhang Xianzhong did not dodge, his face showed a resolute look, and he looked loveless, and muttered: "It's over, everything is over, the Great Western Dynasty only lasted for a day, and it didn't exist at all." ”
