After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 96 Heavenly King
Both Tong Yangliang and Zhu Yiyuan chose similar tactics, but Tong Yangliang temporarily used 600 people to detour and attack Gegoudian, while Zhu Yiyuan had already conceived to use ten times as many troops to detour the rear.

What's interesting is that because Tong Yangliang transferred two Niulu away, the surrounding area was empty, and the cavalry of the rebel army successfully succeeded and captured him, the general officer.

Those Qing troops who were still attacking Gegoudian were having a lot of fun.

Tan Deyu ordered decisively, and everyone launched a fierce attack immediately... Don't worry about it, where there are many Tartars, they will kill them, and wherever the Tartars resist fiercely, they will attack. In short, no Tartars will be spared.

They came shaking the sky and the earth, causing chaos in the rear of the Qing army.

Zhu Yiyuan from the Gegou shop immediately noticed it, including Wang Jun, who also obviously felt it. The Nine Mountain King wiped his face and shouted excitedly, "Brothers, come out with me!"

In an instant, all the rebels were up and down, their morale doubled, and they rushed out one after another regardless of their exhaustion.

On the other side, Fu Manhan and others in the camp also rushed out when they saw the opportunity.

The three Ming armies attacked decisively, and immediately overwhelmed the Qing army.

However, relying on the bravery of the Qing army, the state of anxiety was temporarily maintained, and it did not collapse for a thousand miles.Some generals of the Qing army even thought that the rebels had gone crazy when they saw this. You relied on the camp to hold on, and you could barely cope. Now that you have come out, you are looking for death.

But soon these people couldn't enjoy it anymore. The rebel army captured Tong Yangliang, and the cavalry galloped on their horses, shouting loudly.

The banner representing the general soldier also fell down.

Seeing being beheaded by the rebels, the Qing soldiers couldn't take it anymore, so the rout began.

They dropped their weapons and fled in haste.

On the side of the rebel army, not only the regular army, but even civilian husbands, young men, and even cooks went up with kitchen knives.

Zhu Yiyuan was still supervising the soldiers, but when he turned his head, Gu Yanwu disappeared.

This time he was very anxious, this person is his own literary courage, and he is a scholar, if something happens, it will be troublesome.

Zhu Yiyuan hurriedly ordered to search, and after waiting for more than an hour, Gu Yanwu was out of breath, his legs were soaked through, and it was not yet the first month, and his face was blue from the cold.

However, he was in a good mood, and when he saw Zhu Yiyuan, he said loudly, "I have chased after Yishui, killed two Tartars, captured five people, captured seven sets of armor, and three hard bows...all of them are good. something!"

Zhu Yiyuan couldn't laugh or cry, no matter how good things are, they are not worth as much as you!
"Hurry up and get warm, it's no joke to get sick from the cold."

While agreeing, Gu Yanwu continued to say: "In the past, I always thought that the Tartars were so powerful, but they were also defeated. How about the elite Han army flag? I led a few civilians to chase them, and they threw away their helmets and armor, and they were in a panic. Fleeing, I, a scholar, still killed several of them, happy, really happy! The strong man eats the meat of the barbarians hungry, and talks about drinking the blood of the Xiongnu with a smile! Hahaha!"

This one is simply full of pride and can't help it.

Zhu Yiyuan was equally happy, even more so... Although this was not the first battle of the rebels, it was the Qing army who really valued them. The two sides fought with real knives and guns, and the rebels won a big victory when the number of people was about the same. .

The meaning contained in it cannot be overstated.

If you can defeat six or seven thousand Qing soldiers, you can defeat tens of thousands, tens of thousands... Although the road ahead is still far away, there is hope.

Victory solves the problem the most, at least among the rebels, the phobia will disappear a lot.

Being able to treat the enemy correctly, neither overestimating nor contemptuous, is the first step towards victory.

It is no exaggeration to say that the benefits brought about by this battle are endless.

Soon, battle reports from all parties came together... After a rough count, a total of more than 500 Qing soldiers were killed and more than [-] prisoners were captured.

Of the troops brought by Tong Yangliang, less than 1000 escaped, and there were militias blocking them along the way, and even fewer escaped back, almost equivalent to annihilation of the entire army.

At the same time, the rebel army captured [-] war horses, almost all of which were good horses.

This made Gu Yanwu even more excited, and he would be more confident in the next time he set up a horse formation.

After Tan Deyu heard about it, hurry up and take the war horse away, so that you don't get hurt.

I also want to expand the cavalry!

In addition to horses, a total of three to four thousand armors were seized, and several thousand hard bows were also seized.The remaining swords, tents, food, silver, gongs and drums, flags...there are simply too many to count.

The wrinkles on Tan Deyu's face were filled with joy, "As expected of the Han army flag, Ma Degong and Liu Zhigan, even their confidantes, cannot wear armor, but under Tong Yangliang's command, as many as half of them wear armor." ! It's amazing."

Obviously, if Ma Degong had Tong Yangliang's equipment back then, even if he was raided by the rebels, he would definitely not fail, and it is very likely that Zhu Yiyuan would have ended early.

"The Tatars have always paid attention to armaments, and they entered the customs smoothly. The good things captured are innumerable, and the equipment under their command is better, which is nothing. After this battle, we must improve our armaments. The next battle It's only going to be more brutal."

Tan Deyu nodded again and again, "Don't worry, if you win once, you can win the second time, and the third time... There is nothing to fear from the Tartars."

Sure enough, as Zhu Yiyuan expected, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.

At this moment, Wang Jun, Fu Manhan, and all the generals rushed over one after another to report victory to Zhu Yiyuan.

The big fellows have gained a lot, but after everyone, they are carrying a stretcher, and there is a big man on it, which is exactly Chao Yuguang.

"What happened, Brother Chao rescued the camp, fought hard all night, and blocked the Tartars... He, he was hit by five arrows, two of which were on the vital points, and there were wounds on the thigh, chest and abdomen... since noon yesterday , had a fever all over his body, and passed out at dusk. The military doctor gave him medicine, but it didn't improve, I'm afraid..."

Wang Jun couldn't continue talking, Zhu Yiyuan hurried over and leaned over to check.

This man has followed Wang Jun for many years, and he always strives to be the first in every battle, and injuries are commonplace. No one thought that Chao Yuguang, who was like an iron tower, would fall in this crucial battle.

"You have won, have you won?" Chao Yuguang said weakly.

"I won, a complete victory!" Zhu Yiyuan replied immediately: "You take good care of your wounds, and you will be required to charge forward next time."

Chao Yuguang was stunned, with a wry smile on his face, "You thing, tell me that the war is to eradicate corrupt officials, to drive away the Tartars, and... to make the people's lives better. But, but I I can’t think about it so much, I just want to be famous, I want to be a great hero. But my surname is Chao, some people call me Chao Tianwang, in the past, Big Brother Wang refused to let me.”

Wang Jun stared at him, "You call me big brother, and you still want to be king, are you going to climb on my head?" Although he gritted his teeth, tears flowed down his face.

"Yuguang, Brother Chao, take good care of your wounds, and you can call them whatever you like, I won't stop you." Wang Jun held the stretcher, weeping uncontrollably.

When he cried, the others also wept sadly.

Chao Yuguang looked at the big guy, then turned his gaze to Zhu Yiyuan, "Tell me about it, am I a hero?"

"Forget it, why not count it!" Zhu Yiyuan called out loudly, "Mr. Ning Ren!"

Gu Yanwu came over in a hurry, "I'll tell you what to do."

"You are quite famous in Shilin, and you have a big pen that no one can compare to. I want you to write an article for King Chao Tian, ​​and write a majestic essay that is more famous than the tombstone of five people. Can you do it?"

"Yes!" Gu Yanwu replied immediately: "The heroic feats of Chao Tianwang are more than ten million times better than those five people. I can write this article."

Chao Yuguang smiled when he heard this, but in the next second, his whole body twitched again, the wound that had been bandaged burst open, blood leaked out, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the pain was unbearable.

Zhu Yiyuan didn't care about anything, and hurriedly leaned into his ear, "King Chao, I'll build you a Temple of Heavenly Kings here, and when he returns to the capital, I'll build a big stone monument outside the Forbidden City to engrave this battle." In the above, I want everyone to know your name, what kind of Liangshan hero is not as good as you!"

Hearing this, the pained Chao Yuguang smiled, "That's much...thanks."

After saying a word, Chao Yu tilted his head and left...

Zhu Yiyuan was filled with grief, one of the giants just disappeared, he gritted his teeth and said, "Bring Tong Yangliang over here, and immediately dig out his head and pay homage to King Chao Tian!"
