Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 235 One against four

Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, the four of Li Hongsheng frowned. Although they were all paid by the royal family, they were not real thugs. The last time they fought against the Jurchen, they were already desperate, and some people were slightly injured. , someone was seriously injured, and now Zhu Youjian actually wants them to go all out.

Seeing the faces of the four people, Zhu Youjian was not really a fool. He knew that the four people must be dissatisfied, so he said with a serious expression: "I also know that the priests have worked hard. If this matter can be successful, the priests will all be hereditary." Marquis."

As soon as Zhu Youjian's words came out, the eyes of Li Hongsheng and the four of them showed emotion. To be honest, if Zhu Youjian only gave some gold, silver, jewelry or precious medicine, they would naturally dismiss them. At this level, gold, silver, jewelry, or precious medicines are just things that are readily available to them.

However, this title is different. Over the past 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, there are many innate realms, but how many people have obtained the titles. Although they are innate realms, their descendants are not as talented as they are. If they can obtain the title, it means Their descendants are safe.

Li Hongsheng, Yu Xiao, Xia Bing, and Ma Jiyun looked at each other. After a silent exchange, the four of them nodded imperceptibly. Although it is very dangerous to deal with Su Hao, the four hereditary marquis positions are enough for them to take risks. .

After reaching a consensus, Li Hongsheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm willing to take a chance."

"Then please enshrine a few."

Zhu Youjian nodded and said.

...

Seeing Li Hongsheng and the others leaving, Zhu Youjian's face darkened instantly. In the past, the royal priests could not refuse the emperor's orders, but now he had to make a promise first.

After only a moment, Zhu Youjian still couldn't help sighing. Although the four of Li Hongsheng needed him to make a promise first, they still worked anyway, which was much better than those ministers. personnel.

.........

On the other side, Jinan Fucheng.

On the majestic and majestic city wall, Su Hao led many civil and military ministers to stand on it.

The open space outside the city gate was filled with darkness, and there were a group of Qi soldiers who were ready. These soldiers stood awe-inspiring, looking at the gate of the city from a distance, with countless banners flying, a tiger crouching cannon, a red barbarian cannon, The muzzle is ferocious.

And farther away is a cavalry formation, although there are only five or six thousand people, but the momentum is not inferior to one hundred thousand infantry, infantry and cavalry are scattered on the ground, forming a sea of ​​people that cannot see the edge.

"set off!"

Su Hao shouted loudly.

The pro-military guards beside him shouted at the same time: "Let's go!"

Soon, thousands of vanguards went first, followed by cavalry, followed by the central army, followed by supplies and supplies, and finally a large number of infantry guards. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses formed a team that was four or five miles long, and a large number of scouts and cavalry patrolled back and forth.

...

Jinan Fucheng is not far from Dezhou City, but only two hundred miles away. After four days of marching, the army stopped at Ling County, which is more than [-] miles away from Dezhou City.

Naturally, such a big movement by the Qi army could not be concealed from others, and the news was soon on the desks of Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu.

"Four enshrined, and then all rely on four."

Hong Chengchou cupped his hands and said.

"Governor Hong, we are only responsible for dealing with Su Hao."

Hearing this, Li Hongsheng said lightly that he was not interested in the high hat worn by Hong Chengchou. After all, royal priests and officials were not allowed to communicate in private, and it was useless to have a good relationship.

Hearing Li Hongsheng's words, Hong Chengchou just smiled, and was not displeased at all. He also knew the rule that royal family priests are not allowed to contact officials, as long as Li Hongsheng and the others are willing to deal with Su Hao.

"Brother Chen, the Qi army in Dezhou City entrusts you."

After a pause, Hong Chengchou went on to say, if they wanted to fight Su Hao, the Qi army in Dezhou City would definitely not sit idly by, so they had to stay behind to stop them.

"I'll stop as much as possible."

Chen Qiyu nodded solemnly. This time, Su Hao brought about [-] soldiers from Jinan Fucheng. If they want to be sure enough to stop Su Hao's soldiers so that Li Hongsheng and the others can kill Su Hao, they should at least More than [-] soldiers and horses must be dispatched.

There were 17 soldiers and horses when they set off, but after more than a year, there are only less than 14 soldiers left. Now Hong Chengchou is going to bring 11 soldiers and horses to deal with Su Hao, and only 2 people are left on his side. However, with only these 2 people, he can't guarantee that he can stop the Qi army in Dezhou city.

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou also nodded solemnly. This battle can be said to be a desperate one. If Su Hao can be beheaded or captured, no matter how big the loss is, it will be worth it.

Because if they don't capture Su Hao, they have no hope of capturing Dezhou City. The imperial court has no food. At most three months, they have to retreat to Henan and Huguang, or the army will mutiny due to lack of food.

...

Soon, an array of 11 Ming troops formed, bypassing Dezhou City, heading towards Ling County, and Chen Qiyu also led more than 2 Ming troops to block the direction of Dezhou City to Ling County.

.........

At this moment in Dezhou City, Tang Xiangjin and others were also looking in the direction of the Ming army camp.

"Captain, do we want to stop these Ming troops?"

Pan Ping on the side said that Ling County is located below Dezhou City, and the Ming army had to go around Dezhou City to get to Ling County. If they took action now, they could completely stop the Ming army.

"Your Majesty asked us to let the Ming army go there first, and then send troops to flank them."

Tang Xiangjin shook his head. It is possible to stop them, but the casualties will definitely not be small. After all, there are only more than 6 Qi troops in Dezhou City, leaving a few thousand people to guard the wall. They can only mobilize less than 6 people. The strength of the Ming army is more than twice that of theirs, and the masters are also above them. If the Ming army is forcibly stopped, the casualties can be imagined.

Hearing Tang Xiangjin's words, Pan Ping didn't say much. Su Hao's orders are not something he can disobey.

After watching the Ming army bypass the city of Dezhou, Tang Xiangjin immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses, and followed behind.

...

The next day, early morning.

The 11 Ming Army led by Hong Chengchou and the [-] Qi Army led by Su Hao faced each other several miles away.

On the other side, the more than 2 Ming army led by Chen Qiyu and the [-] Qi army led by Tang Xiangjin had already started a contact battle, and the vanguard troops of both sides fought into a group.

"Feng Li, I will lead my troops to stop the Qi army's masters, and the false emperor Su Hao will be handed over to you."

Looking at the tight formation of the Qi army on the opposite side, Hong Chengchou looked solemn. He thought that the Qi army basically had no experience in fighting outside the city, so it would be easier to deal with it, but he did not expect that the opponent's formation would be in order.

"Do not worry."

Li Hongsheng said lightly.

"attack!"

Hong Chengchou waved the command flag, and the orders were passed down one after another.

Soon, the sound of war drums sounded, and the 11 Ming troops marched forward slowly, with chariot and shield players in front, followed by pikemen, and finally archers and musketeers. Formation, it is impossible to charge quickly.

boom!boom!boom!
At this moment, dozens of loud noises were heard, and then more than forty solid shells bombarded the formation of the Ming army. In an instant, the shells plowed through the crowd.

However, after more than a year of siege artillery battles, the Ming army has long been accustomed to this situation and still maintains a tight formation.

Seeing this scene, Hong Chengchou frowned. In order to travel lightly, he left all the Hongyi cannons to Chen Qiyu, but he didn't expect to suffer a disadvantage now.

It's just that the rate of fire of the Hongyi cannon is not fast. With only four rounds of shelling, the distance between the two armies is only four hundred feet.

Three hundred feet!
Two hundred feet!
One hundred feet!

The tiger squat guns on both sides fired at the same time, but under the protection of the shields, the stones and iron beads that were like a rain curtain did not cause too many casualties.

Eighty feet!
Fifty feet!
Thirty feet!
The archers on both sides also began to shoot arrows, and at the same time the musketeers also shot one after another, and the casualties began to increase.

ten feet!

Three feet!

The two sides collided fiercely like two waves, and began to fight with long spears and broadswords. Infantry combat is no better than cavalry. If there is chaos, whoever will be defeated.

At this time, the four of Li Hongsheng suddenly rushed into the battle formation of the Qi army, sweeping the Qi in their hands, beheading dozens of Qi troops in a short time.

At the Central Army, Su Hao watched Li Hongsheng and the other four go on a killing spree in the army. He reached out and took out four long arrows from the quiver behind his back. He bent the bow and shot the arrows in one go!
The four of Li Hongsheng who were aimed at by the long arrow twitched their eyebrows. Stellar energy rushed into the weapons frantically, and then flew out the long arrow.

"What kind of skill is bullying the weak, it's just a loss of status."

Looking at the four of Li Hongsheng, Su Hao said indifferently: "You all just want to force me to take action, just follow up and fight!"

After speaking, he soared into the sky and flew towards the distant hills.

Seeing this, Li Hongsheng and the others quickly followed. The reason why they took action against those ordinary soldiers was to force Su Hao to take action. Otherwise, they would only attack those ordinary soldiers when they had a brain twitch. Their aura is also limited. , If you die, you will kill a few thousand people, unless the opponent has no masters, let them kill, otherwise it will not be able to affect the battle situation at all.

As soon as the four of Li Hongsheng left, the rest of the Qi soldiers immediately filled the vacancy, and the battlefield once again entered the meat grinder mode of fighting will.

...

On the other side, as soon as he landed, Su Hao waved his hands repeatedly, calling out four natal paper figurines and hundreds of armored paper figurines. Just after finishing these, Li Hongsheng and the others descended from the sky the next moment.

"Lao Li, Lao Ma, Lao Yu and I are entangled with his paper figurine, so you deal with him closely."

Seeing Su Hao behind the paper figurine, Xia Bing said with a solemn expression. Daming had already researched Su Hao's information countless times. They already knew Su Hao's tricks.

"Ah."

Li Hongsheng nodded and said: "Remember to be careful of his soul attack."

Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu had invited Jiang Lan before, but Jiang Lan didn't want to get involved in the hegemony between Da Ming and Da Qi, so he only told them that Su Hao's primordial spirit is very strong.

After finishing speaking, the figures of the four flashed, and rushed into the paper crowd like four horses.

In the rear, Su Hao's thoughts moved slightly, and hundreds of armored paper figurines formed a formation around the four natal paper figurines in an instant.

puff!
With a wave of the golden mace in Li Hongsheng's hand, an armored paper figurine was directly swept through the waist, and the next moment, another armored paper figurine slashed at Li Hongsheng.

clang!
Xia Bing blocked the paper knives of the armored paper figurines with a single sword, and at the same time several bursts of qi swept away more than a dozen armored paper figurines.

And Li Hongsheng and Ma Jiyun didn't hesitate, and at the same time several bursts of stellar energy slashed out, sweeping away more than ten armored paper figurines in front of them, revealing Su Hao behind the paper figurines.

Li Hongsheng and Ma Jiyun were about to rush over there when No. [-] and No. [-] suddenly appeared in front of Li Hongsheng and blocked their way.

clang!clang!
Li Hongsheng forced No. [-] back with one mace, but at this time, the armored paper figurine that had been split into the air had returned to the formation, but with a hole in its body. However, for the paper figurine, as long as it is not completely destroyed, it will be A little or something, it doesn't matter at all.

"Brother Li, go from the sky!"

After severing an armored paper figurine at the waist with a knife, Ma Jiyun said solemnly, these paper figurines are so tough that they can't even be broken by the qi, and they have to use their magical weapons to break them. It will take too long to destroy all of them, and Su Hao can summon them again at any time.

"go!"

Li Hongsheng soared into the sky.

Behind the paper figurines, seeing Li Hongsheng and Li Hongsheng soaring into the air, Su Hao had a thought, No. [-] and No. [-] also soared into the air, blocking in front of Li Hongsheng and them.

At the same time, Su Hao reached out and took out two long arrows from the quiver behind him. He bent the bow and set the arrows in one go. While bending the bow and setting the arrows, Su Hao did not forget the Yuanshen attack. The two thick whips of the Yuanshen were indistinguishable He drew towards Li Hongsheng and the other two back and forth.

"Brother Li, Brother Ma, be careful!"

Yu Xiao and Xia Bing sensed the attack of Yuanshen's long whip, and hurriedly exclaimed.

At this time, Li Hongsheng and the two also sensed the attack of Yuanshen's long whip, and quickly knocked No. [-] and No. [-] into the air with a burst of stellar energy.

Bang!Bang!
The next moment, Yuanshen's long whip was slammed down, and the two felt dizzy, and then the fatal sense of crisis brought them back to their senses instantly. At this time, the two long arrows had already arrived in front of them, and Yu Xiao and Xia The two soldiers were tightly entangled by No. [-] and No. [-].

clang!clang!
After Li Hongsheng and the two blocked the long arrow, they hurriedly fell back to the ground and continued to stay in the air. They were living targets, but after falling back to the ground, all the paper figurines surrounded the four of them again.

"Old Li, what should we do now?"

Ma Jiyun entered the secret passage via voice transmission, Su Hao's defense was too tight, he couldn't do it from the ground, he couldn't do it from the sky, and the paper figurines around him were too tough, it was not easy to destroy them.

"Consume him to death."

After thinking for a while, Li Hongsheng gritted his teeth and said, this is the last thing they want to see. Hong Chengchou may not be able to stop him for long. Once the masters from Daqi come to support Su Hao, they want to take Su Hao down again. Hao is difficult.

But it's useless to think about it, they can't forcefully break through the blockade of the paper figurine, and if they get injured, it's even more impossible to take down Su Hao.
