Chapter 54
After arranging the breakthrough plan, everyone just wanted to lie on the ground to rest, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden chaos in the Ming military camp, and then they saw several teams of iron horsemen slaughtering in the Ming army's array, throwing fire and burning the camp tent, and the sound of killing shook the sky and was unstoppable.
When Zhong Lei saw it, he didn't care where the soldiers and horses were, but he knew that he was here to help Tianbo Mansion, so he shouted at everyone: "Brothers, the Ying Ming army has already prepared food and drink, everyone take advantage of the chaos to work together, fill your stomach first." After the guns and bayonets were cut for a while, they finally beat away several battalions of Ming troops in the chaos, and occupied the camp by taking advantage of the situation.
And the night attack on the camp of the Ming army was the 2,500 tiger camp that rushed to Luzhou Mansion and did not receive the young master, and was afraid that something would happen in Tianbo Mansion and rushed back. Finally, there was a battle, and it was not easy to try the edge of the Tiger Xiao battalion, so Shen Zhongyue and Li Ai each took 1,250 light horsemen to put on a long snake formation, and attacked the enemy camp from the east and west sides at the same time. The Ming army has also been fighting for four days, although it is not as tired as the soldiers and horses of Tianbo Mansion, but how can it stop this tiger and wolf army after a long time of training, five or six thousand people were killed and wounded in the blink of an eye, and a few generals were broken. In the second half of the night, after more than 10,000 dead and wounded, the panicked Zhang Yan found out that there were more than 2,000 people in this horse army.
And this group that came to kill the Ming army was the 3,000 iron cavalry brought by Shen Zhongzhu, and Nasha's 300 personal soldiers, plus Lei Tianfu, Wei Meng, and Daliqi were all tiger generals. Fortunately, Shen Zhongzhu doesn't just want to kill people and relieve hatred like his sister Shen Zhongyue, he just wants to solve the danger of Tianbo Mansion and save the young master from fire and water, otherwise with Lei Tianba's character, he will not stop until he kills the commander of the Ming army.
"Chief Administrator, where are you, I'm Shen Zhongzhu. "Shen Zhongzhu, Lei Tianba, Nasha, Wei Meng, and Daliqi took 3,000 iron cavalry and 300 female soldiers to kill for a while, and then escorted more than 10,000 troops to shout while walking. Shi Xiongmin hurriedly shouted: "Is it the soldiers and horses of Tianbo Mansion? The chief manager is here, please come and see him." After a while, Shen Zhongzhu and the others arrived, handed over the surrender army to Feng Guang, first knocked on Zhong Lei, and then introduced Nasha, Wei Meng, and Daliqi. Feng Guang stretched out his hand and patted Shen Zhongzhu on the shoulder a few times and said, "You kid, I heard that I have captured a lot of cities, and the chief manager has said that he will reward you greatly." Zhong Lei smiled and said: "Zhongzhu, you gave your father a long face, I'm happy." As he was talking, Shen Zhongyue had a good time killing the enemy and relieved his hatred, so he brought the Hu Xiao camp to see the chief manager.
"Uncle Zhong, I went to Yangzhou Qianjiazhuang first, and the owner said that the young master went to Luzhou Mansion with the crazy old way. But when he arrived at Luzhou Mansion, he said that the young master followed the crazy old way, but no one knew where he went. I was afraid that something would happen in the house, so I rushed back. Uncle Zhong, what should the young master do?" Zhong Lei was afraid that Shen Zhongyue would be anxious if he didn't bring back the young master, so he hurriedly comforted: "It's okay." That crazy old man is the number one master today, and the young master will be fine with him. It's not too late to find the young master after we meet with the sailor. Zhongyue, your Tiger Camp is really amazing, everyone is praising you. Then he pointed at Shen Zhongzhu and said, "Zhongyue, look who this is." Let Zhong Lei say this, Shen Zhongyue found that her brother was also there, and happily called "brother" before she saw Lei Tianyu, and asked with concern: "You rushed to kill just now, didn't you get hurt?" They are two childhood sweethearts who have no guesses, and they don't want to become generals who lead the troops to kill the enemy today.
Seeing Shen Zhongyue so caring, Lei Tianfu was very happy, but this is not the place to talk about love, and after saying "no", he pointed at Nasha and said, "Zhongyue, this is your sister-in-law, but she hasn't visited the church yet." Afraid that once these juniors talked, it would be endless, affecting the transfer of the army, so Zhong Lei clapped his hands and said: "That's it, I'll talk about it tomorrow." While the Ming army is still in chaos, we will leave now, and Feng Guang and Shi Xiongmin will lead people to lure the Ming army, cover the army's retreat to the coast of Zhoushan, meet with the Tianbo Fu Naval Division, and hold a wedding banquet for the central pillar on the dragon ship. In addition, all the wounded were transferred together. Shen Zhongzhu agreed, and the two generals Feng Guang and Shi Xiongmin took 800 horse troops and 500 archers to replace Lei Tianba's 3,000 iron cavalry, and the army of Tianbo Mansion quietly left without mentioning it at night.
After the Ming army breathed a sigh of relief, they launched an attack under Zhang Yan's supervision, but they did not know that only 1,300 people were left in Tianbo Mansion, and they returned to the fourth watch in the fields and woods. Feng Guang gave an order, and five hundred archers shot arrows at the enemy formation, and then took advantage of the opponent's chaos to quickly pass through the mouth of the pot, and led the more than 70,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming army to the sea. At this time, the sky gradually brightened, Zhang Yan saw that there were less than 1,000 soldiers and horses in Tianbo Mansion, and thought that the others had been killed and injured under their bow and arrows. Feng Guang and Shi Xiongmin led the remnants to resist the left and right, retreating again and again, and at this time there were less than 200 soldiers and horses. In addition, people are tired and hungry, and they have no strength to run. "Brothers, let's die together. Feng Guang shouted, and more than 200 people gradually leaned over.
Shi Xiongmin sighed: "Before I died, I didn't even see the face of the young master, it's a pity." As soon as the words fell, only a burst of artillery was heard, and the people in the Ming army were seen turning on their backs, and Zhang Yan was also blown to pieces. Looking at the three warships parked on the sea, there is a general waving the command flag in command, but it is Li Mo. Feng Guang was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly raised his arm to greet him: "That's my Tianbo Mansion's sailor, we have been saved." Come with me. So he and his brothers led their horses into the sea. Li Mo saw it clearly, and ordered the gunners to shoot the shells into the Ming army formation one after another, covering Feng Guangshi Xiongmin to get on the ship. The Ming army was afraid of the power of the warship artillery, and could only watch the soldiers and horses of Tianbo Mansion wade into the water and board the ship, but they did not dare to chase after them, for fear of being shelled again.
Besides, Zhong Lei and their army escaped at night, which can be said to be in a hurry, and they are a bit wolf. Fortunately, most of the soldiers and horses in Tianbo Mansion were wearing Daming uniforms and waving the banner of Daming, and no one saw that this was a rebel team along the way. Moreover, along the way, the defenders of the city have gone to kill Tianbo Mansion, even if someone sees the origin of this army of soldiers and horses, who would dare to fight them with their old and weak guards. In this way, Zhong Lei and the others traveled day and night for several days, and finally arrived safely on the coast of Zhoushan, and the sailors led by Bai Zizong took the soldiers and got on the boat. Zhong Lei first introduced Shen Zhongzhu, Qin Yin, Lei Tianba, Yang Biao and his seven partial generals, Wang Dynasty, Hu Yanxue, Hu Yanren, Wang Changzu, Wei Meng, Daliqi, Nasha, Shen Zhongyue, and Li Ai. Then he told the story of the enemy, but forgot to say that the young master did not know his whereabouts, and the result was a joke. Although Bai Zizong was not afraid that the Tianbo Mansion fleet would encounter pirates, he was worried that Jiao Yi and the others would touch the reef if they didn't know the waterway, so he drove Zhong Lei and them to the dragon ship to rest, and he personally took five clippers to meet the Tianbo Mansion fleet. At this moment, he was very eager to see the young master. After two days, the Longqing sailor caught the Tianbo Fu fleet, and everyone was very affectionate when they saw the Longqing flag, and they raised their arms and cheered. Bai Zizong jumped onto the big ship of Tianbo Mansion without waiting for the boat to get closer, and shouted loudly, "Young Master, Young Master", and looked for more than 30 boats one after another, but he didn't see Tianxiao, and couldn't help but cry wildly. "Young master, where are you? Zizong should be damned. The sailors of the five clippers also fell on the deck and cried wildly, which made the people of Tianbo Mansion very moved. Lei Long hurriedly went over to help Bai Zizong and said, "General Bai, the young master is in Yangzhou, and someone has been asked to pick it up, so there shouldn't be anything wrong." It's just that the chief manager is all trapped inside, how can it be good?" Bai Zizong wiped his tears and said to Lei Long: "The chief manager has already joined the sailor in Zhoushan, and Feng Guanghe and a small general are leading more than 1,000 people to deal with the Ming army, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead. As soon as the words fell, it happened that Li Mo's three warships arrived, Feng Guang and Shi Xiongmin got on the boat to see Bai Zizong, everyone was lively, and the fleet continued to move forward. A few days later, when he arrived in the sea area of Zhoushan, relying on the Longqing Naval Division, Bai Zizong set up a big camp, and let the family members and maids of Tianbo Mansion, and Yang Biao's wife and children all live on the dragon ship with the chief manager. Shen Zhongzhu, Lei Tianba, Yang Biao, Feng Guang, Qin Yin, Hu Yanxue, Wang Changzu, Wei Meng, Daliqi, Wang Dynasty, Guan Ziqing, Nasha, Shen Zhongyue, Shi Xiongmin, Hu Yanren, Li Ai's soldiers and horses all ate and lived on the big ship of Tianbo Mansion, and the periphery was Bai Zizong's sailors. More than 50,000 or 60,000 troops, six or seven hundred ships of all sizes surrounded the dragon and phoenix ships in the middle, and this safety naturally went without saying.
Seven days later, Zhong Lei raised his tent in the main hall of the dragon ship, Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Lei Long, Jiao Yi, Bai Zizong, Shen Zhongzhu, Yang Biao, Feng Guang, Daliqi, Lei Tianba, Qin Yin, Guan Ziqing, Shen Zhongyue, Wei Meng, Nasha, Shi Xiongmin, Hu Yanxue, Hu Yanren, Guan Kui, Wang Dynasty, Wang Changzu, Li Ai, Qin Jinfeng, Dongye Suo, Wang Qiliang, Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, Zhao Hai, Zhao Chong, Zhao Bao, Zhao Cai, Hu Peng, Li Mo, and Zhu Cong were present.
"Brothers, our Long Live Lord is gone, and the crown prince Yijun has ascended the throne as Emperor Shenzong. And the mobilization of more than 100,000 troops to kill my young master must be done by the Empress Dowager Li, Tianbo Mansion lost 7,300 good brothers in this battle, Feng Guo, Zhang Feng, Sun Yan, Zhao Fen four generals died in battle, this account will be calculated by the Ming army sooner or later. Tianbo Mansion is gone, Pukou City can't go back, the current Daming rivers and mountains are all Yijun, our young master wants to survive, then the only way to fight is to grab some cities from the hands of Emperor Shenzong. Fortunately, General Feng Li's side has improved, occupying 21 cities of Mingsi, Zhen'an, Nanning, Lianzhou, Gaozhou, Xunzhou, Pingle, Liuzhou, Qingyuan, Guangnan, Sizhou, Qujing, Yuanjiang, Mangshi, Mengding, Cheli, etc., with 100 generals and more than 225,000 soldiers and horses.
And General Bai now has more than 50,000 sailors. Coupled with Shen Zhongzhu, Yang Biao, Feng Guang, Qin Yin, Wang Dynasty, Guan Ziqing, Shi Xiongmin, Guan Kui, Hu Yanren, Wang Changzu, Shen Zhongyue, these eleven soldiers and horses and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses recruited by Zhongzhu, there are nearly 30,000. Then, Tianbo Mansion also has a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses. After the more than 100 pirates in the Zhoushan Islands are wiped out, at least 20,000 sailors can be added. At that time, I will receive fifty large clippers from the Portuguese merchant William, so who am I afraid of if the people of Tianbo Mansion are strong and strong. However, the top priority at the moment is to find out the movements of the Ming army and naval division, second, to find the young master to connect with the dragon ship, and third, to exterminate the Zhoushan pirates, increase gold and silver, and expand the troops and horses. Subsequently, he joined up with General Feng Li and their army, expanded the territory, and competed with Yijun. ”
