Chapter 511: Qing Jun's Side (5)

Wan Liyun and Shi Tie opposed, but Lao Mantou and He Zhen resolutely supported, Wan Liyun was the commander-in-chief of the front line, when he went to the front, he asked Ling Jingyang, and encountered disagreement among the generals, what should I do?

Ling Jingyang only gave him one sentence and listened to Li Dingguo's suggestion.

He firmly carried out Ling Jingyang's order, since Li Dingguo, He Zhen, and Lao Mantou all supported, there was no need to do it, he ordered Shi Tie to feint to attack Fenghua in the name of the former military governor, and he led Li Dingguo, He Zhen, and Lao Mantou to raid Songpu.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses launched a surprise attack on Songpu, and the rebel leader Li Hun 10,000 did not expect that the Ming army would give up attacking Fenghua, which had fewer people, and instead attacked Songpu, which had the strongest rebel strength and the largest army.

The Songpu rebels responded in a hurry, and were defeated by Li Dingguo in the first battle of Cixi County, losing thousands of people, and the remnants retreated to the Songpu base camp.

The Ming army was like a bamboo, Li Dingguo fought in front, Wan Liyun and He Zhen attacked on both sides, the only thing that did not attack was the artillery battalion, the artillery battalion was to attack the Fusang soldiers, and before seeing the Fusang soldiers, the old steamed bun refused to open fire.

The rebels could not resist the attack of the Ming army, and the rebel leader Li Hun asked the Fusang soldiers for help.

The Fuso soldiers in Matsuura were led by Suzuki Gui, who was a member of the Fuso Guards Division, and unlike other spies, he was a serious officer with very much experience in actual combat.

This time he secretly came to Huaxia and became a mercenary of Li Hun, he can be said to be dedicated, Li Hun could not beat the city, he led the Fusang soldiers to fight with rifles and grenades, Li Hun was invincible in the field of the Ming army, he beat with a rifle.

King Lu's army fought many times and was repeatedly defeated by the rebels.

In the face of the soldiers and horses of the Hongguang court, Suzuki Gui looked down on him even more, although after the Ming army entered Zhejiang, he captured several state capitals, but the rebels in those state capitals were all rabble, even if it was Li Hun, in his eyes he was just a big soldier.

Li Hun asked him for help, and he asked Li Hun to send him a thousand women and 500,000 taels of silver, otherwise Li Hun would continue to be violently attacked by the Ming army.

The rebels looted countless in Zhejiang, there were more than 10 million silver trucks alone, and dozens of warehouses were piled up with grain and grass and other materials, Li Hun generously sent 500,000 silver to Suzuki Gui, where to find a thousand women?

Fusang people don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, Li Hun asked his subordinates to go to nearby states and counties to rob women, and the rebels have a very bad reputation in Ningbo Mansion, making Ningbo Mansion ten rooms and nine empty, and there are not many ordinary people, let alone a thousand women.

The rebels didn't dare to attack the Hongguang Ming army, and they wanted to rob women, so they looked at the Zhoushan Islands, there are people who have taken refuge in the Zhoushan Islands, as long as the Zhoushan Islands are captured, won't there be women?

Capture the Zhoushan Islands, you can still rob the King of Lu, Li Hun can continue to fight the rebels when he gathers, and his subordinates are encouraged, as long as the Zhoushan Islands are captured, they can let the Fusang mercenaries send troops.

The strength of the Fusang mercenaries is obvious to all, and with them in battle, the soldiers and horses of the Hongguang Imperial Court are with the green onions.

Under the temptation of his pie, the rebels roared and attacked the Zhoushan Islands, but the attack on the Zhoushan Islands required warships, and the rebels did not have so many warships.

So Li Hun cheekily went to Suzuki and asked Suzuki to cooperate with him in attacking the Zhoushan Islands.

Last night, Suzuki received urgent information from Fuso, ordering him to defeat the Hongguang army, and if possible, lead the rebels to attack Nanzhili and eliminate the Hongguang court, especially Ling Jingyang, the commander of the Ming army.

Suzuki didn't know why the Emperor killed Ling Jingyang, but this was the Emperor's holy decree and it had to be executed.

He gathered his subordinates overnight to discuss how to defeat the Ming army in Ningbo, and then lured Li Hun to attack Nanzhili.

But early the next morning, Li Hun actually wanted him to ask for an attack on the Zhoushan Islands, saying that there was a lot of gold and silver and women on the islands, and everyone would be a rich man if they captured the Zhoushan Islands.

Suzuki glared at Li Hun, who was so frightened by his fierce look that he retreated a little.

"General Li, the Zhoushan Islands are just some broken islands, is General Li just so ambitious?"

Li Hun was a little confused by him, he led the troops to rebel, just to rob money and women, robbed the king of Lu, and then robbed the king of Tang, the Qing army surrendered to the Qing army when it came, and he did not have great ambitions.

He didn't know what Suzuki Gui meant, Suzuki Gui suddenly changed his face, smiled and said to him: "General Li, a Ningbo Mansion is really wronged by you, do you want to go further?" ”

"What do you mean by Suzuki-kun, let me be the chief soldier of Ningbo Prefecture?"

Suzuki was so angry with Li Hun that he wanted to scold, but he still endured it and continued to tempt Li Hun.

"The general army of Ningbo Mansion is just the general army of a government, and the world is in chaos, can't General Li follow the example of the Li family and create a hegemony?"

Even if Li Hun is a fool, he finally understands that Suzuki Gui wants him to divide Zhejiang and become a hegemon, and if he has the opportunity, he can also win the Central Plains and become the new emperor.

"This, this, this... Is this unacceptable? ”

"Why can't you do it, isn't this Ming also the Zhu family, snatched from the hands of the Tartars, aren't you Li Hun naturally inferior to people?"

If you can become an emperor, it is not to glorify your ancestors, but to ascend to heaven with your ancestors.

Li Hun's eyes sparked with a spark of desire, with the support of the Fusang soldiers, what is the Jiannu, but the Fusang soldiers are just like that, and they want to achieve hegemony, which is a little shabby.

"General Li, don't look down on it, we have thousands of soldiers on Fusang Island, Li Sang is enterprising, and it is my duty to fight for Li Sang in the world."

"It's a head-killing deal."

"You rebelled against King Lu, and in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, you would have been killed."

Li Hun nodded, he did oppose King Lu, and defeated King Lu's army several times, making King Lu's strength much worse than before.

Suzuki said again: "It's better for Li Sang to gather soldiers and horses from all over the world, hit the Congshan Pass, destroy the Hongguang Imperial Court, and become the overlord of Jiangnan. ”

Faced with this temptation, Li Hun finally couldn't help his desire, agreed to Suzuki Gui's suggestion, and immediately gathered more than 10,000 remnants of the army, preparing to attack the Ming army of Ningbo Prefecture, eliminate the Ming army of Ningbo Prefecture, and then attack Nanzhili to the west, defeat the Hongguang court, and achieve hegemony.

As soon as his troops were assembled, some generals hurriedly came to report to him, and the Ming army divided into two lines of troops and horses and launched an attack on Songpu.

Li Hun was not afraid of the Ming army's attack, with the support of the Fusang soldiers, the Ming army would destroy as many as they came.

In fact, the Ming army had more than two lines of soldiers and horses, Li Dingguo was the left wing, and He Zhen launched an attack on the right wing.

Lao Man's head artillery battalion was the rear army, and the rebels' attention was on Li Dingguo and He Zhen, but they didn't

I thought that the artillery battalion of the Ming army was stronger.

The artillery battalion of the Ming army had more than 1,500 gunners, 2,000 infantry, more than 600 cavalry, and more than 1,000 other miscellaneous soldiers.

Li Hun led the troops to resist Li Dingguo's attack, and Suzuki led the Fusang soldiers and 5,000 rebels to resist the attack of He Zhenbu, but there were scouts on the way to report to him that the Ming artillery battalion troops came from the front.

The artillery of the Ming army acted alone, isn't this sent to death?

Suzuki immediately changed his battle plan and led his troops to attack the Ming artillery unit.

But he never dreamed that the artillery of the Ming army would have such a strong strength, let alone that Li Dingguo would make a false shot north of Songpu and rush back to the frontal battlefield with the elite cavalry to support the artillery battalion in battle.

Suzuki led more than 5,000 people to attack the Ming artillery camp, and more than 100 artillery pieces of the Ming army were lined up in turn, and when the rebels launched a charge, they bombarded the rebels.

Because the general's cannon still belongs to the breech artillery, the power and accuracy are not as good as the Fuso mortar, but there are also advantages, the general's cannon has a long range, and the Fusang army mortar, in fact, is a grenadier, the range is only a few hundred meters, in the face of the Ming army's heavy artillery bombardment, Suzuki suffered a loss,

There is no mistake

It was bombarded by the heavy artillery of the Ming army, killing and wounding many rebels and dozens of Fusang soldiers, but Suzuki was not heartbroken, as long as he rushed forward, he could reap the lives of the Ming gunners.

But he ignored that the Ming artillery would still have cavalry and infantry troops, he let the rebels be cannon fodder in front, and he led the Fusang soldiers in the back, waiting for the rebels and the Ming army to fight exhausted, and then give the Ming army a fatal blow.

The rebels soon fought with the Ming army, Suzuki led the troops to look for an opportunity, and suddenly a group of Ming cavalry came from the side of the battlefield, which was a thousand elite cavalry led by Li Dingguo to support the artillery battalion.

Suzuki discovered that the Ming cavalry was coming back here and ordered the troops to attack Li Dingguo's troops.

Li Dingguo was not stupid, he did not rush hard, and led the troops to retreat to the east halfway through, Suzuki saw that the Ming army was cavalry and could not pursue, so he gave up the pursuit.

took the troops to support the rebels, Li Dingguo saw that the Fusang soldiers were supporting the rebels, and led the troops to harass them, and also killed many Fusang soldiers with small artillery such as tiger squat cannons.

Suzuki was very old and spicy, because the Ming cavalry was just harassment, and as long as he helped the rebels to break down the frontal Ming army, he could win the battle.

He ordered to ignore the Ming cavalry and lead his troops to support the rebels wholeheartedly.

The Fusang people were not tempted, and Li Dingguo was not angry, he led his troops to attack from behind after the Fusang soldiers attacked the artillery camp.

Li Dingguo was killed, Suzuki never dared to fully support the rebels, he was completely enraged, and decided to defeat the Ming cavalry behind him and then go to support.

I have to say that the firepower of the Fusang soldiers is very fierce, more than 400 Fusang soldiers attacked the Ming cavalry with grenadiers and rifles, and the Ming cavalry suddenly suffered heavy casualties, Li Dingguo led the troops to retreat, and Suzuki Gui ordered to continue the pursuit.

After chasing out a certain distance, the cavalry of the Ming army was fast, and they had already run away.

Finally driving away the swarm of buzzing flies, Suzuki led his troops to the aid of the rebels, causing the troops to go back, when suddenly there was a dense sound in the sky.

At this time, the long-dormant Ming artillery roared again, and the Ming artillery adjusted the angle of the muzzle and gunpowder, and smashed it into the area where the Fusang soldiers were located.
