Chapter 116: Facing East

Under the high stage of the Chinese army, the atmosphere fell silent.

The officers looked playfully at the messenger who was making a big noise.

When has this been? Your main force has been besieged in the city, and it is clear who wins and loses!

"General, you are very beautiful now! But you know."

"Snort, do you want to say that I am so young, I am already in a high position, and I am the top family of the country, with the northwest border army behind me, and I am on the verge of being suspected by the royal family, if I succeed in suppressing your White Lotus Sect again this time, it will definitely cause royal suspicion? Heh, what kind of thing is your White Lotus Sect? If you are exterminated, you can also make a certain family high? ”

As soon as he heard this person's words, Jia Hui guessed what this person wanted to say.

It's nothing more than that you will be suspicious, and your achievements will be shocking or something

In recent years, the script is old-fashioned!

Don't look at yourself as if you have leaned into the opposition, in fact, it is far from the heyday of the Jia family!

In addition to being the same general as the Great Sima of the Ning Guofu next door, the Yan Gong of the Ning Guofu next door is also the hereditary commander of the Beijing Battalion, the Shangzhu State, the scholar of the Wuyingdian University, the former military governor of the Five Military Governor's Mansion, and the founding of the country, the Wuchen Ning Guogong.

Jia Hui's own grandfather, Jia Yuan, also did not let much, Dazhuguo, General Yunlu, the military department Shangshu, the governor of the five armies, the governor of the Chinese army, and the founding of the country, Xuanli Wuchen Rongguogong.

The most important thing is that the two are standing in the court at the same time!

Not to mention the next generation of Rong Guogong, Jia Hui's grandfather Jia Daishan is a haircut, a companion, a confidant, a brother and the number one horse boy who grew up with the emperor in open crotch pants.

In addition, the ministers and in-laws of the Jiangnan family who basically had no losses in the war, not to mention ordinary people, even Jia Hui still does not fully understand how strong the Jia family is in its heyday and how much it is trusted by the royal family!

He, Jia Hui, where is this?

"This" Hearing that series of familiar words were spoken by Jia Hui without a pause, he didn't even notice Jia Hui's contempt for the White Lotus Sect later. was stunned on the spot.

"Hey, I'm talking about you, is that right? Stunned, reply! ”

Well?

Hearing Jia Hui's somewhat impatient tone on the high platform, he hurriedly confessed.

He straightened up again.

"Since the general knows his situation, why is he still working for Qi Ting? Why don't you switch to my White Lotus Holy Sect? I'll teach the Master."

"Less, get to the point!"

Am I a thief or are you a thief!

The envoy was slandered in his heart, but he still handed Jia Hui the persuasion decree given to him by the sect master, and stood under the high platform and said to Jia Hui.

"My family leader said, General, you are really a condescending talent when you are a county prince, and you are not worthy of your strength! My sect leader is willing to tear the earth to seal the king, and take the entire Shaanxi Xingdu Division and the Rest of the Protectorate as your fiefdom as a condition, everyone here can get a title equivalent to their own ability, please abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and lead these tiger and wolf teachers to join my White Lotus Holy Sect, and establish a human Buddha kingdom together, everyone can."

As he spoke, the envoy was about to start preaching the teachings of the White Lotus Sect to the officers around him, but seeing the cold eyes of the officers, the envoy followed his heart and quieted down.

Ripping the Ground and Sealing the King? Fief? Title? Oh, speaking of which, don't you want to be an emperor yet? One after another, don't look at the earliest slogans of these gang of anti-thieves shouting louder than one another, in the end? is not the founding of the emperor one after another, and when he turns his head, he has become the most hated appearance he once had.

Suddenly lost interest in the White Lotus Sect, and when he saw that one of the main reasons for the White Lotus Sect's rebellion was to launch the rescue of the slaves and servants of the family and let them turn over and become the masters, they thought that their teachings had mutated and turned red, and they would be like the group of people in the previous life, so that the oppressed toiling masses would turn over and be the masters!

If this is the case, then what is the harm of giving up this body of glory and wealth to follow them?

It's a pity that as more and more information gathers to Jia Hui, he finds that the White Lotus Sect is not worthy of lifting shoes for that group of people, it is just a group of pure righteous and evil/sect anti-thieves who can only bewitch the public and bewitch people's hearts.

In the end, between the lines of the White Lotus Sect Leader, it was once again confirmed that this Laoshizi Sect Leader was going to be the emperor, Jia Hui smiled disdainfully, and threw this thing called the Law Decree, which was actually a holy decree, off the high platform

"Who's got the crotch line open? Something that claims to be the destiny of heaven is in the body, and you want to pass on the decree of Lao Shizi to Lao Tzu? Command the firearms battalion to hit me hard again! ”

The officers under the high platform shouted at the same time, directly frightening the messenger to the ground, and the white lining instantly turned yellow.

"Hang the thief's head on the flagpole for me!"

"No, general! If the two armies don't fight each other, killing the envoy will ruin your reputation as a general, think twice, general! Hearing that he was about to die in Huangquan, the messenger who was sitting on the ground suddenly recovered his spirits and wailed for mercy towards Jia Hui on the high platform.

"Then hang his whole body on the flagpole!"

You're such a good person!

The envoy was completely desperate, and now on this sunny day, I am afraid that in less than two hours, he will have to choose one of the two ways of death: dehydration and sunburning

No one paid attention to the emissary's thoughts, but two pro-soldiers came out of the line, one on the left and one on the right, and the messenger walked towards the flagpole.

"Sect Master, the disciple has done his best."

。。。。。。

"Sect Master, look, is there a person hanging on the flagpole?" The general soldier of Huguang vaguely saw something hanging on the empty flagpole of the Chinese army on the opposite side, and looked at it carefully, it seemed to be a person.

"What? I see"

Whoosh –

"Cannon!"

Boom!

A cannonball accurately hit the northwest corner of the city wall, and the Sect Master, who was shocked by the shock of the cannonball's bombardment, went blank and looked around blankly.

A large hand grabbed his arm and pulled him back, and the leader only stood up instinctively and ran after the owner of the hand, and it was not until he got down the wall that the leader regained his senses.

"Whew-"

It's too dangerous! If the cannonball hits one foot higher, it will not hit the female wall, but on him!

"Are you alright? Master, Master? ”

"Ah, hurry, let the Shandong General Army lead the troops to rush out as planned!"

"Yes!"

Artillery fire roared, and a cannonball the size of a seven-year-old child's fist slammed into the northwest corner of the city, which had already been beaten, shattering a small brick wall and leaking out a layer of rammed earth.

"There's a brick in the northwest corner that has been broken, brothers, hit me through that gap!" When the commander of the firearms battalion saw the bricks in the northwest corner that had been smashed and slid down, he immediately shouted excitedly, turned his head and gave orders to his subordinates. One by one, the guns began to adjust the direction of the muzzles.

"Master, the sect leader has an order, let you rush out quickly!"

"Obey the law!"

The Shandong general soldier raised his head to the sky and roared, and rushed out with a hard knock on the horse's belly.

The infantry behind him also roared, and the whole army rushed out of the city towards the east.

Hearing a roar from Dongcheng, the sect leader unwillingly hammered the ground, and then returned to the appearance of a master who had everything under control.

Why only go to the east?

There is no need to think about it in the west, there may be reinforcements from the Qi army in the west at any time. The Holy Sect's army is obviously weaker than the Qi army, not in terms of individual force, but in terms of military formation, coordination, etc., when the number is small, it can still break up the Qi army's army to form a general one-on-one, but once the size of the Qi army increases, the strict military formation will wear out the Holy Sect's army.

If they bumped into reinforcements from the Qi army on the way to the west, there was a high probability that the other party would not be less than 10,000 people

As for the south, if you want to go out of the city to plunder, you have to cross the canal, although the canal provides more defense than the ordinary moat, but the canal is also wider than the ordinary moat!

It can be said that in addition to the Xijindu camp, there are more cannons in the south!

The north side didn't even think about it, did you go down to the river to catch fish?

It's better to take advantage of the fact that there is still a small army in the east and go out and fight!

The eyes of the Shandong general soldiers gradually became resolute, and the survival of the Holy Sect was fought here!

。。。。。。

The camp of the Qi army in the east of the city.

A neat array of troops lay over the ground, and at the foremost were ten guns dismantled from warships.

"Uncle. Commander, why didn't they go around the south as soon as they left the city, but instead came to attack our army two miles away from the city gate? The young soldier asked, holding the reins of the horse, who commanded the warhorse.

"Because they always have to cross the river, and if we catch up with them and attack them while they cross the river, even if they defeat us, the loss will definitely be not small. It's better to take the lead in defeating us, you can save a lot of things, this is to use Lao Tzu as a soft persimmon? The commander looked at the rebels who had been jogging since they left the city gates.

"This enemy general is also a talent. Say he's stupid, he also knows that jogging saves energy, say he's not stupid, he knows that we have artillery, and he doesn't know how to disperse, and the cannon is loaded! ”

"Cannon loading! Hit the armor in the back! ”

"Cannon loading! Hit the armor in the back! ”

The commander's order was shouted by the heralds to the artillery, and the artillerymen hurriedly adjusted the muzzle of the cannon and put the loaded sub-cannon into the mother gun.

"Put!"

The artilleryman ignites the arquebus, the arquebus ignites the gunpowder, and with a muffled sound, the solid bullets are pushed out of the barrel by the massive momentum generated by the gunpowder burning and fly into the air.

"Cannon!"

Boom!

The cannonball mercilessly blasted into the crowd that couldn't dodge, and several people who were directly hit exploded instantly, but it still didn't stop the cannonball from moving forward.

After the cannonball hit the ground, it bounced up again, and after killing a few unlucky people again, this time it didn't bounce up, but the still fast rolling speed combined with its own weight broke the legs of many people.

The smoke of gunpowder filled the air, leaving only a place where the seriously injured and the fallen were wailing.

"Reload!"

The enemy's wails did not arouse the slightest mercy on the part of the commander, who simply coldly continued to give orders.

Hearing the commanding envoy's order, the artilleryman hurriedly grabbed the grip of the sub-cannon, turned it down with force, and his comrades, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately put another sub-cannon on the mother cannon.

"Put!"

The artillerymen again lit the arquebuses on the cannons, and another round of shells flew out and again smashed into the ranks of the enemy troops.

The Shandong general soldier is dripping blood in his heart!

These 12,000 people are the last elite of the Holy Sect in Zhenjiang City, and there are even 3,000 armored people!

originally wanted to rely on them to break through the military formation of the Qi army in the east of the city, and then the army behind swarmed up to annihilate this army with more fights and fewer fights. But the result was that the armor elite who rushed to the second echelon was the first to be bombarded by the cannon and scattered the array!

"Spread out and run, spread out and run!"

Needless to say, the queue has already dispersed, and the losses in the third wave of artillery shelling have really decreased a lot, but in this way, the plan of the general army to fight with points is stillborn.

"Artillery stand back! Shield on the car! ”

The artillerymen hurriedly pulled the gun cart back and hid behind the shield cart. Replaced with a bow and arrows.

Hey, before being an artilleryman, Lao Tzu was also a famous archer in the Jiangnan battalion!

Twenty or so artillerymen hid behind the shield cart and began to snipe the junior officers who looked like small flags.

Just as the rebels trotted in front of the Qi army, the shield carts had already hooked up together, forming a temporary but very stable "city wall"!

This is the Taizu period, in the grassland to deal with the Mengyuan cavalry method - the car array, until the development and popularization of artillery, this kind of car array was slowly replaced by the artillery array. I have almost never seen it in the south, and I want a surprise!

"Book that!" Seeing the Qi army retracted into the turtle shell, the Shandong general soldiers were dumbfounded!

"Master, what should I do?" The pro-soldier hurriedly asked.

"No matter, leave five thousand households to drag them, and the rest of the people will continue to walk east with me!"

The Shandong General Army understood that the five thousand households that remained to lead the Qi army would definitely be finished.

In the case of the same number of people, the Qi army will not be afraid!

After only confronting the Qi army in the east of the city for a short time at a distance of seventy paces, the five thousand households stayed, ready to fight the Qi army. In order to consume more elites of the Qi army, the Shandong General Army also deliberately left a thousand households.

The White Lotus Army who stayed in place did not have any unusual emotions.

The dog officer army only relied on the advantage of artillery to suppress my Holy Sect, if it is a real battle with a real sword, it is not necessarily who loses!

This group of fanatical followers of the White Lotus Sect is not afraid!

Raising their spears, which were longer than their horses, the armorers also raised their heavy weapons and prepared to break through the Qi army's formation.

Ren Pain took the remaining seven thousand households around and left the Qi army's chariot array, and the Shandong general army continued to march eastward!

Don't worry, I'll bring the food back, you won't die in vain!

I will use Jia Hui's head to pay tribute to your souls!

"Hey, these people are sending them to death." The Commander grinned.

"Uncle, how are you going to fight next? We're all armor soldiers, and a single charge can break them away, right? The soldiers looked at their commander uncle with excitement.

The real knife and the real gun are the romance of men!

"Out of battle? Who's going to play? can slowly grind them to death, why do you have to fight them hard against them despite heavy casualties? The conductor looked at his nephew with a look of curiosity.

"Huh? Don't we need to chase the enemy? The pro-soldier was a little surprised.

"I have not received an order to pursue, rest assured, this rebel army will not come back."

"Why?"

"Because Pingliangbo's people are in Danyang County."
