Chapter 277: Reinforcements Arrive

"Put..."

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

Luo Jiming's position was hit by archers, tigers, squatting cannons and arquebuses, and the casualties were not counted.

However, at the same time, countless black dots flew towards Huang Chongtao's front army, and You Shilu opposite him could clearly feel the slight tremor of the earth on his horse.

"Send someone to the rear to see what's going on? Did the captured gunpowder explode?"

As soon as You Shilu's words fell, there was a violent explosion not far in front of him, and with the rise of gunsmoke, the entire fortress became a mess, but the sound of the explosion did not weaken in the slightest, and it was accompanied by rhythmic rounds of explosions.

"Something bad..."

You Shilu shouted, and then shouted: "Quick, the whole army withdraws from the fortress, and the reinforcements of the rebels have arrived..."

The heavy rain turned to light rain until dawn, and then the light rain slowly stopped, and even the fire and medicine depot in the Tianxiong army fortress could not retain the amount that could be fired, but their fire and medicine depot had just been blown up, and the rest had also been captured.

Three miles away from the fortress of Jiashan Pass, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, fifty Shenwu cannons were being loaded in turn, Yuan Shizhong stood in front of the formation and kept commanding, and the artillery troops were also carrying ammunition and cooling water in an orderly manner.

Chen Cao rode on the war horse, looked at the dilapidated Jiashan Pass under the sight of the Qianli Tube, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The enemy army has entered a lot of people, bombing, Jiashan Pass is not needed, it is not broken, it is not standing." ”

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

Fifty Shenwu cannons fired in unison, and all fired fire shells, in this case, it was strange to be able to run, and when Chen Cao opened the Qianli Tube again and looked at the Jiashan Guan Fortress, he clearly saw that many officers and soldiers were retreating in a panic.

"The order, the 11th Division of the Shenwu Army stepped forward, set up a musket queue at the north gate, and shot at close range, the enemy had to run, and they could not be allowed to form a formation, kill as many as they wanted, and avenge the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army."

Chen Cao is really angry, he can't wait to put on his wings and fly to the capital to fan Zhu Youzhen's two big-eared scrapers, but now that the fortress has been broken through, there are very few people who can survive inside, plus just fifty cannons fired three rounds of salvos, these more than 100 rounds of open flower bombs have been blown up, and there are only a few who can survive after all.

Chen Cao didn't want to do this kind of strong man's wrist breaking his wrist, but at this moment, he had to do it in order to kill and injure the enemy on a large scale.

"Yuan Shizhong's department stayed behind in the artillery team and ordered all armies to attack with his father."

At a distance of three miles, the front of the Shenwu Army rushed over and took a stick of incense, and when it came to the north gate of Jiashan Pass, it happened to bump into a large number of Zuo Liangyu's troops who were retreating.

The regimental commander who arrived in advance of the former army immediately drew his sword and ordered to raise his gun and shoot flat.

It wasn't until more Shenwu troops rushed in that under the neat rounds of fire, the left sergeants who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape collapsed, but under several rounds of shooting, there was no one who escaped in the direction of the north gate.

Chen Cao arrived with people riding horses, and immediately opened the Qianli tube, and there was a group of people and horses in his sight who had fled in the direction of the east, and he could only see their tails clearly, and the specific number of people was not clear for the time being.

"The order is that the whole army will enter the pass as a company unit and kill the enemy...

Released the arrow, ordered Yuan Shizhong's troops to advance, and shelled the Takasaka woodland. ”

"Rebel reinforcements are coming... Evacuate..."

"Retreat..."

The defeat was like a mountain, no matter how Zhang Yangming and Huang Chongtao suppressed those guards to no avail, and even some Qianhu officials took the lead in killing many people from the battle team, and it was the most important thing to escape, and it was not their minions to be investigated in the end.

The defeat of Zhang Yangming and Huang Chongtao on the frontal battlefield also affected Huang Sihai three miles away, but Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting did not give them a chance to breathe.

When they knew that the rebel reinforcements had arrived and defeated the governor Zhang Yangming, they couldn't sit still at all, and Huang Sihai had to leave Mu Qishan and Cen Rui and run away.

You Shiwei of the Gaosakadi camp couldn't help but shudder when he saw the chaos of the camp under the slope, and as You Shilu sent someone to report the news, he knew that the battle had been lost, and he was unable to return to the sky, so he quickly ordered his subordinates to retreat urgently after a while of looting, and fled in the direction of Pinghu.

Just when You Shiwei had just evacuated for less than half a cup of tea, the Takasakachi camp was covered with artillery and bombed into ruins.

The gunfire never stopped after Chen Cao arrived, and the battle lasted from dawn to noon, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who had already been surrounded in the camp, actually brought the troops to counter-encirclement again after the reinforcements arrived, and cooperated with the Shenwu Army and Shence Sergeants who arrived to surround tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the official army camp under the Gaosaka land.

"The last general, Lu Xiangsheng...

Sun Chuanting...

I've seen Grandpa Guo..."

The two were about to bow on one knee when they were stopped by Chen Cao, and then stepped forward to help the two of them: "Jiandou, Boya, you have worked hard..."

Lu Xiangsheng was the first to speak: "The last general is ashamed, this battle has suffered heavy losses, and the fortress camp has also been lost, if it is not for the timely arrival of the grandfather, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the grandfather." ”

Chen Cao looked at Sun Chuanting, who was covered in blood: "Boya is really brave and unparalleled, such a civil and military all-rounder, but he can be brave." ”

Sun Chuanting's face was mixed with the blood and mud that had been killed: "The lower officials are incompetent..."

"Grandpa..."Wang Xiaojie walked quickly: "I caught a big fish, according to the surrendered officers and soldiers, there are Huang Sihai, the general soldier of Zhejiang, and Tusi Cen Rui, a wolf soldier who came from Guangxi, in the big camp. ”

Chen Cao was overjoyed, he knew the prestige of the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, although he didn't know Cen Rui, but now that he had captured Huang Sihai, this guy was of great use to Chen Cao: "In order to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, Wang Xiaojie led his troops to attack Jiashan County immediately, and all the baggage grain and grass of the officers and soldiers were piled up there. ”

Wang Xiaojie clenched his fists: "Grandpa, where do you stop?" ”

"Chase..."

Chen Cao said coldly, he knew too well the combat effectiveness of the guards, and now Huang Sihai's town soldiers and the most capable Guangxi soldiers have been trapped here: "Attack in one fell swoop, until you pursue to the city of Hangzhou, if you have the opportunity, take advantage of the situation to take Hangzhou." ”

"The last general commands..."

After arranging the next combat operation, Chen Cao couldn't wait to let people bring his old acquaintance Huang Sihai to his Chinese army commander's tent, thinking that the old guy in front of him had given him aphrodisiac medicine back then, the corners of Chen Cao's mouth couldn't help but smile a little evilly.

"Mr. Huang, I haven't seen you for a few years, but your body is still tough?"

Huang Sihai is also in his fifties, because his physical fitness is still okay during his perennial military career, but after becoming the general soldier of Zhejiang, he often eats and drinks, and the general's belly is also highlighted.

"The general of the defeated army is not brave enough to speak," Huang Sihai opened his mouth to speak, and then said in a straight voice: "You are waiting for the rebellion under the false name of 'Qing Jun's side', Chen... Liang Guogong, your fate will not be easy. ”

Chen Cao was not angry, and shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, it is the current emperor's own uncle who does the 'Qingjun side', and the son of Emperor Shenzong, Fuwang Changxun, is also, this duke is just a last resort to raise troops to protect the people for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Such false words, Liang Guogong's face is not blushing?"

Zhao Xin was about to step forward to scold, but was stopped by Chen Cao's signal: "Mr. Huang, today you were captured alive, in addition to admiring your courage, my father still admires your personality, and actually dared to brave the situation of the striker to reinforce this place under such a heavy rain last night, and has not escaped yet, this is the case, a certain family will call you a 'hero'." ”

Huang Sihai was bitter in his heart, his dignified Zhejiang general soldier, the official of the second rank of the frontier, when he retreated at dawn, because the entire underground camp in Gaosaka had been stirred into a pot of porridge by Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and when he fled under his command, he was strongly stopped behind by Mu Qishan's Yunnan soldiers, otherwise he would not have been surrounded in the camp with Cen Rui, the Guangxi Tusi official who took the initiative to stay and break off.

Now when he heard Chen Cao say this, his face turned a little redder, but then he looked at Chen Cao with a normal face and said, "Liang Guogong, the general of the defeated army, you can dispose of it." ”

"Huang Zongbing has been in charge of Zhejiang for eight years, and he can not be transferred when the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party are in power, and he has also got a lot of money for up and down, and since Zhejiang has been preparing for the Japanese, there has been Hu Zongxian and Qi Shaobao in the past, you can occupy this position and not go on, my father thinks that you should have a lot of your own people in the guards of various towns in Zhejiang."

Huang Sihai has been immersed in officialdom for decades, although he is a military general, he also knows the way to be promoted, otherwise he will not be in the position of the general soldier of a province all the way, and when he heard Chen Cao say this, he was suddenly shocked in his heart.

really

Chen Cao looked at Huang Sihai with a smile: "Mr. Huang, this prince respects you as a good man, now the army of King Fu has surrounded the central capital Fengyang, more than ten days have passed, I believe that the fall of Zhongdu is imminent, and Nanjing is just around the corner. ”

Huang Sihai didn't talk either, because this kind of thing is too involved, his family members are all in Hangzhou City, if he rebels, he will definitely suffer, but Chen Cao seems to have seen his thoughts, so he continued: "Huang Zongbing, don't remember to reply first, this kind of thing will affect the whole body, why don't you wait for the good news that my father won Hangzhou to come and you will deal with it?" ”

Hit Hangzhou?

Huang Sihai's whole person moved, there is heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou's city defense line is almost the same, but Hangzhou is the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, the water gate is only a lot more than Suzhou, and the Qiantang River is a natural risk, if you want to capture Hangzhou, it is no different from fighting Nanjing City.
