lady, please calm down

Chapter 345 Autumn Wind Chills
The autumn wind is bleak and the grass is withered and yellow.

Since Chen Chu's army entered the boundary of Yongjing Army on Hebei Road on the [-]th, the scouts traveled thirty miles but did not see a single living person.

All you can see are deserted villages one after another.

That night, the private scout camp Zheng Bai Maoshu contacted several Caobang brothers hiding in the mountains. After listening to their stories, he learned that in recent days, the local squires, officers and soldiers have been intimidating the people. The squires talked about the Chu King's army. He was extremely violent and violent. Everywhere he went, he slaughtered villages at every turn. The men were tortured and killed, and the women were raped and humiliated and used as food for the army.

Under their repeated threats, all the people in Fucheng County were abducted and driven to Fucheng County.

However, families who do not want to part with their property and leave their homeland will often have their entire family slaughtered in a day or two.

Afterwards, the squires insisted that it was the vanguard of the King of Chu's army who carried out the attack. As a result, the local people were already afraid of the Huaibei Army, which they had never met before.

Today's common people generally live within a radius of less than fifty miles, and the biggest people they have ever seen in their lives are no more than members of their own village.

If they are still illiterate, facing the squire who monopolizes the right to information, it will be impossible for them to think independently. Naturally, they will be afraid of whomever the squire tells them to fear.

As a result, objectively, the situation in the northern part of Hebei Road is clear and solid.

In the morning of the [-]th, the Pang Sheng Yima Military Camp of the Huai Suppression Army, which served as the vanguard, arrived outside Guanjin Town.

Guanjin Town is located thirty miles south of Fucheng, close to the official road, straddling the throat of the north, and forming a horn with Fucheng County.

Xie Zaidao, commander of the Yongjing Army, personally led the main force to meet the enemy here.

Around noon, a "Chu" king's flag approached Guanjin Town from south to north and formed an array four miles away.

Xie Zaidao, who originally wanted to harass the King of Chu's army while their foothold was not stable, gave up this plan when he saw that the opponent's lineup was neat and orderly.

Having been on the border for a long time, he was particularly confident in his four thousand horse infantry.

Speaking of which, although the King of Chu has been famous for a long time, the history of his rise is not very convincing.

At first, he started his career by consuming the Shenrui Army of Caizhou Xiang Army. Later, he experienced the chaos in Huaibei and became powerful, and then he lost his power through the civil strife in Tokyo.

But in Xie Zaidao's view, whether it was the Xiang army, the Huaibei thieves, or the Chu king and the fisherman who benefited from the dispute between the king of Lu and the prince, it was not a tough battle.

He didn't mean that the Xiang army was rubbish, but he felt that all the above armies were rubbish.
So how could the King of Chu take over the central government in just a few years? Why should he thank him again?

With Liu E, a descendant of the royal family who does not know whether it is true or not, as a trump card, as long as he can defeat the Chu King's army, Xie Zaidao can copy the Chu King's path!
Go south to Beijing and support the new emperor. I will also become the Supreme Emperor!
At the beginning of noon, Xie Zaidao led his army to fight.
Under the mellow autumn sunshine, the flags of the two fronts two miles apart were fluttering.

The world between heaven and earth is filled with a murderous atmosphere.

Xie Zaidao wanted to use this majestic fighting method of head-on confrontation to become famous in one battle.

Since the Xuandemen Incident last month, anti-Chu Yishen have emerged in many places in Daqi. I am afraid there are many careerists who have the same thoughts as Xie Zaidao.

Only when the King of Chu's army is beaten to pain and death in this battle will the gentry everywhere obey him!

In front of the horse formation, Xie Zaidao looked at the opponent's army with vague eyes. Guan Jinxian, a scholar from Fucheng on the side, turned back to look at the troops and horses on his side who could not see them at a glance. His face flushed with excitement, "General Xie, our rebel army has four soldiers." Thousands of people, but there are only more than 1 national thieves! I have the advantage. When the general kills this beast, the gentry of Daqi will definitely return home, and this battle will determine the outcome!"

This Guan Jinxian was the son of Guan Li, a great gentry in Fucheng. During this incident, his Guan family donated a large amount of money as food and organized a militia of nearly a thousand people to accompany the army.

Currently Liu E's largest shareholder besides Xie Zaidao, Guan Jinxian became Xie Zaidao's military counselor.

Xie Zaidao heard the words, but did not respond for the time being. He was attracted by the dozens of large pipes that were being hoisted by the opposing army. They looked quite heavy but knew their purpose.

Seeing this, the high-spirited Guan Jinxian didn't care. He laughed and said: "General, let me go to the front of the battle to denounce the national traitors and disrupt his military morale!"

After that, regardless of whether Xie Zaidao agreed or not, he drove his horse forward.

Running in the open space between the two armies, the wind howled and his clothes and belts flew, Guan Jinxian was both nervous and extremely excited.

When he was a child, he read storybooks. In the story, a Confucian scholar who could scare away enemy generals and help the country with his sharp tongue was his dream of becoming a hero to this day.
No, the opportunity has finally come.

However, even at this time, Guan Jinxian was very alert and stopped three hundred steps away from King Chu's army.

If you run further, you will reach the shooting range of the bow and arrow.

Guan Jinxian just wanted to become addicted to heroes, not to lose his life in this desolate autumn day.

The horse seemed a little uneasy and turned around a few times. Guan Jinxian glanced at the Huaibei military formation and laughed wildly to attract everyone's attention.

When several generals from the King of Chu's army looked over inexplicably, Guan Jinxian cleared his throat and shouted: "Listen to me! My son Chen Chu, named King of Chu, is actually a traitor to the country! Mr. Cao Mang Villager, I am lucky enough to enter. You villain! Instead of repaying the favor of the country, you slaughtered the gentry, kidnapped the eldest princess, and brought chaos to the court. The people in the world are eager to eat his flesh!
Fortunately, God will not destroy us.The late emperor's nephew, Duke Liu Tao, couldn't bear the instability of the country and the devastation of the people, so he was willing to go to Beijing to take on the great responsibility in times of crisis!Today, I, the gentry from hundreds of families on Hebei Road, and the Yongjing Army are all thanking General General Xie. We are here to welcome the thieves under the orders of Lord E!
Your officers and men have been deceived by treacherous ministers. If you return to the right position before the battle, our army will forget the blame.If there is a righteous man who captures the national traitor, he will be granted the title of general in a short time when Lord E comes to the capital!
If you continue to persist in your obsession, the catastrophe of annihilating the nine clans is just around the corner! "

Guan Jinxian's impassioned shouting was whispered into the formation.

"Kill your mother into the water!"

Peng Er couldn't help but cursed when he heard the sound.

Deputy General Wang Yan and Commander of the Armed Guards Xiang Jingze reacted even more violently, almost riding out to kill the noisy person.

Also, Wang Yan had just surrendered, and Xiang Jing was from the Xiangjun clan. If they didn't react strongly to Guan Jinxian's words that scolded the King of Chu and were obviously meant to sow discord, what if the King of Chu suspected that they had two intentions?

After all, the other party has an imperial heir, who can more or less represent Liu Qi.

Chen Chu waved his hand to stop the excited two people.

In the distance, the cheerful Guan Jinxian saw that King Chu's army was solemn and showed no reaction. He couldn't help laughing proudly, turned his horse's head and galloped away towards his own front.

The autumn wind and the strong horses, the young men in Confucian shirts were happy and fearless on the front line, denounced the enemy!
This scene perfectly fits the image of themselves in the minds of scholars.
In front of the militia, more than a dozen Fucheng gentry and Yourongyan were holding hands and laughing!
The most proud among them were naturally the guards of his Guan family. Under their leadership, a group of nearly a thousand people shouted in confusion, "Young Master is mighty!" '

After a while, the shouts gradually became uniform, and then the other militia groups also started shouting.

Finally, the [-] people in the rear carrying hoes and sticks also spoke.

But they were far away from the front line. They could only hear their voices but not see their sights. They didn't know why they were shouting or even what they were shouting about.

Anyway, if others shout, you just have to follow suit. But when the slogan falls in everyone's ears, it will always be a little out of shape, so some people who don't know why the shouting becomes "Young Master Trash".
The roars of tens of thousands of people seemed to cause ripples in the heaven and earth.

No one in it can't help but feel excited.

Xie Zaidao was the calmest and felt that his military spirit could be used.

Many squires felt their scalps go numb, feeling that they had in their hands the power that could overturn the world in an instant!
The prosperous Tokyo, the power of Conglong, the title of king and prime minister are all around us.

Even among the people who were coerced and driven here, many were so excited that they started shaking.

Why are you excited?Who the hell knows!
As a cannon fodder, I can't help but be proud of this huge momentum.
The reaction here, in the eyes of the generals of the King of Chu's army, was a naked provocation.

Tie Dan, who had been pouting and sullen, finally couldn't help it after looking at Chen Chu for the nth time, "Let me go!" Chen Chu patted the neck of Xiao Hong, who was scratching his hooves irritably, and looked towards the front line. Wu Tong, who was directing the fixation of the cannon body, turned back to Tie Dan and said, "There's no rush."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chengfu, deputy battalion commander of Tianlei Battalion, trotted over.

He heard clearly what Guan Jinxian was scolding his boss just now. At this time, his face turned red and he spoke with great anger, "My boss! The preparations for Tianlei Camp are complete, let's blast him!"

"haha okay!"

As soon as Chen Chu waved, Erlang immediately shouted to the leaders of the horse army: "Seal the horses!"

This process has been trained by all the Huaibei Army's cavalry troops, but they don't know why.
But this does not prevent the knights from skillfully taking out the standard horse earplugs and blocking both ears of the mount.

Two miles away, Guan Jinxian had just returned to his army's formation.

Xie Zaidao, who was originally dissatisfied with him for going out without permission, nodded with satisfaction when he heard the roar of tens of thousands of people, and loudly praised Guan Jinxian: "Young Master Guan, you are awesome! Such courage in front of the battle is quite unprecedented. The style of a Confucian general!"

Guan Jinxian's ears were full of "Mighty Master", and he couldn't hear the words of sincere thanks. In short, it could be seen from the latter's expression that he was praising himself.

Guan Jinxian, who was extremely excited, smiled and blushed. He sat on horseback and bowed to the generals and squires. When he was about to say a few polite words, he found that everyone was looking into the distance at the same time.

Guan Jinxian couldn't help but be curious and subconsciously turned around to look.
I saw a cluster of sparks bursting out of dozens of copper pipes in the Chu King's army line two miles away, followed by thick smoke.

After a few breaths, thunder came one after another in the distance.

But because the shout of "Young Master Mighty" from our side was too loud, it could only be heard faintly.

The next breath, Guan Jinxian seemed to hear a dull roar from far to near, and then, a squire more than ten feet away suddenly seemed to be hit by something heavy, and the horse on the squire's crotch jumped into the air.
Immediately afterwards, another general not far away disappeared from the chest and disappeared out of thin air. Blood mist floated.

This time, Guan Jinxian looked carefully. The general seemed to have been hit by a black ball, and his upper body was directly smashed.

As if to confirm his suspicion, after the black ball hit the general, it continued to castrate and plowed a path of flesh and blood straight to the rear.

Even after the black ball bounced twice on the ground, it was still able to break Minzhuang's calf directly.

Sitting on horseback, Guan Jinxian was condescending and could see everything clearly.

One foot away, the gentleman who was hit first was not dead yet, but he was penetrated directly below the knees and the entire body of the horse.
The intestines and intestines in the horse's belly flowed all over the floor, and the blood mixed with undigested brown-green fodder was everywhere.

Throughout the entire military formation, there were dozens of flesh-and-blood passages plowed out.

Some of them reacted slowly, and before they understood what was happening, they subconsciously looked up at the sky, thinking that the black ball that suddenly appeared was a meteorite from the sky.

But Guan Jinxian thought of the smoke coming out of the copper pipe across from him and quickly turned his head to look over.

Just as it happened, there was another round of fire and smoke on the opposite side.

"Thank you, General. The King of Chu has sorcery. Let's retreat temporarily. Be patient."

Before Guan Jinxian finished speaking, the whole world suddenly turned upside down, and the angle of view suddenly became higher. He even saw Minzhuang in the distance and behind, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Young Master is mighty".

It wasn't until he hit the ground hard that he realized he was flying.

At this time, the surrounding horse troops began to panic, and the horses' hooves were trampling on the front, back, left, and right. Guan Jinxian was afraid of being killed by his own horses' hooves, so he hurriedly tried to get up.

But I found that my legs and feet were no longer in control.

Guan Jinxian looked back. Where are his legs?Where are my legs?

Below the waist and abdomen, there was nothing.

Like the horse just now, its intestines were dragged all over the floor, and he even saw a section of his own vertebrae exposed.

Two feet away, an ownerless horse carried a butt and two legs, wandering around in confusion in the already chaotic formation.

Unspeakably weird and terrifying
"Help me, save me"

Guan Jinxian felt as if he had entered a country of giants. He supported the ground with both hands and tried to raise his head to shout to the chaotic horse army around him.

But no one paid attention to it.

In just a few breaths, Guan Jinxian, who went from extreme excitement to extreme fear, looked back at his intestines that were being trampled by horses' hooves behind him, and couldn't help crying anymore, "My intestines, don't step on my intestines." Daddy, save me."

It turns out that being a hero is not that easy
After three rounds of volleys, the Yongjing Army arrayed in the front collapsed, while Minzhuang, who was still unaware of the situation in the rear, was still shouting.

On the other side of the battlefield, Kuang Siliang, Feng Guobang, Jing Peng and others in the observation group were stunned!
The family of generals naturally pays attention to all kinds of weapons. Decades ago, someone in Zhou State used gunpowder to activate the nest, which was called Tuhuoqiang.

This kind of thing makes a lot of noise and smoke, but has a short range and poor damage. It can't even penetrate leather armor ten steps away.

It is also very difficult to maintain, expensive and easy to damage.
In short, there are a lot of shortcomings, but few advantages can be picked out.

Therefore, several people did not associate the sudden fire gun with the thunder god-like thing in front of them.

Not to mention them, even many senior leaders of the Huaibei Army saw this powerful weapon used in actual combat for the first time.

Lieutenant General Wang Yan saw that the opponent's formation was in a state of collapse, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.

Originally, he wanted to show off the military capabilities of the newly formed Hebei Han'an Army in front of the King of Chu. But before he even fired a single shot, the other party collapsed?
"Hey, although King Chu's artillery battle is good, it can't kill too many rebels! Today is going to be a rout!"

Unsatisfied, Wang Yan put forward his own opinions.

Chen Chu said, "Just defeat them. There are [-] people in the rear. Is it possible that we will kill them all?"

After saying that, Chen Chu waved his hand, and with the iron courage that he could no longer hold back, he picked up the reins of his horse and rushed straight away like an arrow from the string.

Erlang, who had just been appointed as a private soldier, unskilledly picked up the suona and blew the charge horn.
Across the thousand-mile plain, a black line composed of horse troops swept towards Yongjing's army like a tide.

On October [-], the main forces of the Chu King's Army and Liu E's Army fought outside Guanjin Town.

Less than a hundred breaths after the war started, Liu E's army collapsed.

The King of Chu led his troops in pursuit for twenty miles, and killed 17 generals including Xie Zaidao, the rebel general, and captured [-] squires.

On the same day, the battle report about the battle was quickly and secretly transmitted from the battlefield to all parts of Qi.

No matter who the battle report came from, they all focused on King Chu's artillery battle.
