Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 216 Will attack Liaozhou (5)

There is a poem called "Spring River Water Warmth Duck Prophet". When the officers and soldiers were about to retreat, apart from the officers and soldiers who received the order, the first people to feel it were Zhang Sanbai and Jiang He who were fighting with the officers and soldiers.

The two of them felt that the resistance in front of them was loosening, and the officers and soldiers were immediately beaten back by them. When the rebel army was besieged and suppressed by Shanxi Governor Song Tongyin in the ancient town, Jiang He was besieged in the valley and had never seen Zhang Shun's methods, but Zhang Sanbai was by Zhang Shun's side at the time and was quite experienced in this.

Seeing this, Zhang Sanbai couldn't help shouting: "The officers and soldiers are defeated, follow me to kill!" It didn't matter what Zhang Sanbai shouted. Many people in the rebel army remembered the glory of defeating Song Tong and Yin's ten thousand people formation, and followed Gao Sanbai. The voice shouted: "The officers and soldiers have been defeated, chase them quickly!"

The officers and soldiers had not been allowed to rest for several days. Now they were exhausted and looked down upon the battle situation. They couldn't help but panic after hearing this.

In the dark night, when they couldn't clearly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and couldn't clearly see the situation of the battle, how could the officers and soldiers be willing to continue fighting? Suddenly, many people began to run around like headless flies, disrupting the formation of more officers and soldiers.

Zhang Zongheng couldn't help but feel angry when he heard the shouts of the rebels, and cursed: "How dare you listen to this traitor? You actually deceived me with lies!"

He quickly led his guards to kill several people on the spot in an attempt to stop the rout, but how could he stop it?

Fortunately, the mighty and fierce tiger had already been defeated by this time. Zhang Zongheng quickly ordered the two men to summon the cavalry now to stabilize the battle situation. And he personally led his guards to collect the defeated troops and maintain order.

Fortunately, although the Xuanda border army is not as elite as the Liaodong border army, it can still be regarded as a capable team. After a while, Zhang Zongheng gathered three to four hundred people from the chaotic army and formed a simple circular formation.

At this time, Zhang Sanbai and Jiang He both killed the defeated officers and soldiers in front of them. They saw four to five hundred men and horses in front of them, gathering under the banner, and knew that they must be Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda.

Seeing this, Jiang He quickly prepared to lead his troops to charge forward, but Zhang Sanbai was startled. He quickly pulled Jiang He and said: "The enemy is powerful, don't be reckless!"

Jiang He heard this and angrily said: "How cowardly are you? He has four to five hundred men and horses, and we also have four to five hundred men and horses. The other party is a newly defeated army. How can we withstand the sharpness of our army?"

Zhang Sanbai almost wanted to fall out with this guy when he heard this, but considering that this guy was just a bastard, he didn't care about him, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang's words are different, the officers and soldiers are tough, no one can match us. This This was a great victory, but it was just a coincidence that the lord used his troops like a god. Now that they have gathered together and defended desperately, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to break through the officers and soldiers for a while, but instead they will lose the lives of their own brothers in vain!"

"Li Shi'an, our artillery battalion, is here. We have a 'golden cannon'. It's a good time to test the quality of our officers and soldiers!"

"But this artillery is heavy. I'm afraid the officers and soldiers will run away before the artillery can be transported!" Jiang He couldn't help but sneer after hearing this, and argued forcefully.

"Brother Jiang, let's see what I can do!" Zhang Sanbai laughed when he heard the words, then turned around and walked out of the formation, shouting loudly to the officers and soldiers: "You are an official thief, but Zhang Zongheng is in front of you? You surrendered my lord obediently, and you will still be safe in the future. The position of feudal lord. If you resist stubbornly, there is only one way to die!"

"Straight thief!" Zhang Zongheng couldn't help but yelled when he heard this. He spent all day hunting geese and was pecked blind by geese. Not only did he lose his chance to fight, but he was also insulted by the thief.

Zhang Zongheng cleared his voice, which had become hoarse from shouting, and replied sternly: "How dare you claim the throne as a clown? Victory or defeat is a common thing for a military strategist. If I lose a round today, I will pay you back a hundredfold in the future!"

"I think you are also a bad guy. How can you act like a tiger, disrespect the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Rules, and do this damn thing? If you still have the slightest sense of loyalty, why don't you surrender to me early to avoid death, family destruction, and eternal infamy!"

"Haha! How dare you speak harshly when you are about to die? In the past, we were all just like insignificant people. How have you ever looked at us? If you don't surrender and fall into my hands, you won't be as easy to talk to as my lord! I will definitely skin you and cramp you. Have a disembowelment and gouge out the heart before you can rest!"

Zhang Zongheng couldn't help but shudder when he heard such harsh remarks. However, he still said stubbornly: "Rebellious ministers and traitors, don't be so arrogant! Even if you gain power for a while, can you still gain power for the rest of your life? Sooner or later, you will be cut to pieces by a thousand knives. If you want to die, you will regret it!" "

"Haha, old man, stop being so arrogant and take a shot at me!" Zhang Sanbai saw that Li Shi'an had rushed over and completed the task of supporting Zhang Zongheng, so he laughed loudly, "I want to see, who is yours?" If your words are tough, my artillery is tougher!"

As Zhang Sanbai finished speaking, Li Shi'an finally led the men to push up the golden "golden cannon", loaded it with gunpowder, wooden horses and shotguns in sequence, and aimed it at Zhang Zongheng's team.

Zhang Zongheng used the weak firelight in the camp to see the dark muzzles of the guns on the opposite side. He couldn't help but shiver in the cold winter, and his whole body became cold.

He had seen the fierceness of the rebel artillery before, but he had never watched it carefully at close range. Now that I see such a large-caliber artillery, I can't help but be scared to death.

It turns out that field artillery in the late Ming Dynasty was mostly small artillery such as the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Franchise Artillery. The caliber was no more than about two inches, the shells were no more than the size of a goose egg, and their lethality was quite limited. The more powerful one is the Hongyi cannon, with a caliber of more than three inches, usually between 100 mm and 130 mm, and the solid iron shells are between six and ten pounds.

Such a large-caliber cannon as Zhang Shun's hand is rare, not to mention that the Hongyi cannon at this time has a longer diameter, weighs more than two or three thousand kilograms, and is difficult to maneuver.

Zhang Zongheng was originally from the Xuanda border army. There were no advanced firearms at that time that he had never seen or used. It was precisely because he was familiar with artillery that he was frightened to death when he suddenly saw such a large-caliber artillery.

Seeing this, Zhang Zongheng didn't care about any strategies to retreat, he immediately patted his horse and ran away. It didn't matter that he ran away. The four to five hundred officers and soldiers who had finally gathered around him lost control and turned around and ran away in a chaotic manner.

When Li Shian saw it, he became anxious. It was so easy for me to "cook a table of delicious dishes, how could I leave the guests?" He quickly ordered the soldiers to light the artillery. Although the officers and soldiers fled quickly, how could they escape faster than the burning gunpowder?

The burning flame quickly disappeared into the medicine room and disappeared in the night. Under Li Shian's gaze, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then a huge noise sounded. At the same time, the muzzle of the gun was like lightning, lighting up half of the camp.

The dense pellets were splashed out instantly like a violent storm. Under the cover of night, they swept away all the people and objects in front of them, including soldiers, wooden poles, tents, and corpses.

Many officers and soldiers who were closer were beaten to pieces in an instant. The tent was also beaten like a hornet's nest, and even the flagpole of Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng's flag was punched through seven or eight holes in an instant.

Then the big flag was blown by the night wind in the mountains, broke off from below on the spot, and smashed to the ground.
