scourge the qing dynasty

Chapter 310
"Xiaoyong, you, you prodigal son! Thousands of taels of silver, you wiped them all out at once! You treat your cousin as a local rich man—?!"

No matter how desperate the iron rooster Lu Fatty howled, it was useless. The three good rockets built by Fatty's army, under the command of Lu Fatty's prodigal cousin Qin Yong, smashed the sky and overwhelming the team that was already fleeing Zhejiang Qing Army Deputy General Wang Tingmei.Immediately afterwards, the deafening sound of continuous explosions also echoed on the battlefield where the Fat Man Army and the main force of the Qing Army confronted each other.

The spectacular scene of thousands of rockets launching at the same time really opened the eyes of the bumpkins in the Qing army in Zhejiang who were used to bullying Geng Jingzhong's army. With the white smoke of the tail flames, raindrops and hail penetrated into their infantry ranks, continuously bursting out terrifying flames, and waves of blood were violently sprayed out from their infantry ranks, flesh and blood remains and weapon flags were flying all over the sky, gunpowder smoke and The sky was covered with dust, the earth-shattering explosion shook the mountains and the ground trembled, the fierce wind blew a hundred paces away and still hurt the face, and the flag waved abruptly.

The [-] Miyoshi rockets were all fired within half a minute, but it took nearly half an hour for the smoke from the explosion to be blown away by the mountain wind. , It was already a scene like Shura’s hell. On the battlefield after being covered by rockets and bombed, there was hardly a Qing soldier who could stand. The soldiers of the Qing army who were seriously injured and waiting to die were moaning and begging dying in the wreckage of flesh and blood, and the soldiers of the Qing army who were still able to move rolled and crawled in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Numb.

In a few minutes, more than half of the [-] Qing infantrymen were killed or injured, and less than a thousand people escaped back to the battle alive, but most of them were deaf and panicked. Thirty rockets snatched from Geng Jingzhong The launch vehicle was also bombed to pieces, and it was hard to find a trace. Fei Yelen, the son of Laita who was in charge of commanding the rocket team, and Wang Tingmei, the commander of the Qing army, were also killed on the spot. His body was smashed to pieces, and there was no bones left.

Seeing such a scene, the Fat Army's side naturally cheered like thunder, and their morale was bursting. On the Qing Army's side, the whole army was stunned, their morale and fighting spirit disappeared. Looking up, his expression was so desperate that it was unbearable to see, and there was only one thought left in his heart, "It's over! The gap in firearms between us and Wu Gou is too big!"

"Da Zhou! Da Zhou! Da Zhou!" Amidst the rhythmic cheers of the fat man's soldiers, Fatty Lu yelled again, "Fuck your mother's Zhejiang Mangou! You have been so stupid and weak after doing this for a long time, I should have known You are not even worthy of carrying shoes for Aobai, Tuhai, Yue Le and Xiergen! I should have gone straight to Hangzhou long ago!"

"The general is right, we overestimate Zhejiang Mangou!" Wang Xu hastily flattered and echoed, "We were just scaring ourselves before, thinking that Zhejiang Mangou was as cunning as the Mangou we met before. , just as powerful, completely forgetting that this gang of dogs can't even destroy Geng Jingzhong's second-rate army, and the real strength should not be worthy of shining our shoes."

"Brother Lu, Man Gou has been scared stupid by us!" The fierce general Hu Tongchun shouted: "It should be a general attack, rush up, and wipe out Man Gou!"

"That's right, it was a waste of time just now!" Fatty Lu nodded, and finally admitted that he had made a big mistake before, wasting a lot of ammunition by being too cautious.After a little calculation, Fatty Lu shouted: "Hutongchun, An Jiarong listens!"

"The last general is here!" Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong two generals clasped their fists and agreed at the same time.

"Hutongchun led three thousand infantry, and An Jiarong led the headquarter's gill soldiers." Fatty Lu pointed to the front and shouted vigorously: "Assault from the front, let me kill the Mangou formation all the way to the back of Mangou Seize the official road to block it! Block Man Gou's escape route, and force Man Gou to flee for his life on the mountain path!"

"Decree!" Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong shouted in agreement at the same time, and rushed down to organize the team to attack.Fatty Lu turned to Xiao Erlang next to him again, and ordered: "Erlang, go and send an order to Xiaoyong, let him lead the rocket team to cooperate with Hu Tongchun and An Jiarong to attack, and then use two thousand rockets to bombard the front of the Mangou formation, and send it to our army. Raiders blast the way!"

"Decree!" Xiao Erlang also rushed out of the team, and Fatty Lu grabbed another soldier casually, and ordered him to send an order to Gao Hongchen, so that Gao Hongchen's cavalry was ready to attack. If there was any change in the cavalry of the Qing army, there was no need to ask for instructions. Attack, bite the Qing army cavalry, so as to prevent the Qing army cavalry from going back and harassing the back and flanks of the Fatty Army's trapped team, and ordering the soldiers to gallop away on horseback.

A moment later, the news that the fat army's teams were ready to attack was transmitted back to the flag array. Fatty Lu waved his hand, and the drum behind the flag array of the fat man immediately rang. Hearing the sound of the drum, the rocket team of the fat army led by Qin Yong immediately took the lead The attack was followed by An Jiarong's [-] soldiers, and then Hu Tongchun's [-] infantry, shouting the slogan of the Great Zhou in order, and trotted towards the front of the Qing army's battle formation.As for the Qing army, just seeing the fat army's rocket car clearing the way, most of the people's legs were already weak, and they all started to flee for their lives.

"Hold the ground! Hold the ground!" Laita, who was almost desperate, cheered up and shouted: "The long shields step forward, the archers and musketeers are ready! The left-wing cavalry attack! Go to Wugou Rocket Team flank!"

The order was conveyed, and the cavalry on the left wing of the Qing army had just mounted their horses and were ready to attack. Gao Hongchen, the cavalry of the fat army who faced them, had already mobilized ahead of time, shouting the slogan of the Great Zhou Dynasty and took the lead in attacking. Rushing to the front of the team, he kept shouting with red eyes, "Kill! Kill! Let this group of Zhejiang Mangou see how powerful our Dazhou cavalry is! Dazhou—!" The cavalry of the Qing army entangled together, buying precious time for the fat man's frontal raid.

"Da Zhou—!" With a long shout, Qin Yong waved the red flag, and the Fat Army rocket team that had rushed within half of the front of the Qing army immediately ignited, and thousands of Sanhao rockets burst out of the air, roaring and rushing. Facing the front of the already frightened Qing army, amidst the sound of rumbling explosions, the Qing army shieldmen, archers, and musketeers hiding behind their long shields rushed to the front, screaming and wailing, and fell down one after another, causing the formation to be in chaos.The fat army rocket team continued to charge forward, ignited and fired while installing rockets, blasted out two thousand rockets again in one breath, and did not stop until the front of the Qing army formation was completely smashed, and replaced it with the fat army's trapped formation. step forward.

"Great Zhou!" The brave general of the fat army, An Jiarong, pointed his sword at the sky, roared, and took the lead to rush to the front of the Qing army formation that had been blown to pieces by Mihao rockets, and the [-] soldiers behind were also roaring like thunder. , galloping like the wind, without hesitation rushed towards the enemy of the Qing army, which was dozens of times larger than itself. The soldiers who killed the enemy with rough giant swords also changed their shotguns to cannons, and all replaced them with Fusang Japanese swords that are very similar to the Southwest Miao swords. Not only are they much lighter, but they are also much sharper. , it is simply the Muramasa Demon Sword that Xie Dong bought from a Fusang smuggler!

At this time, the cavalry of the Wu army led by Gao Hongchen had completely mixed with the cavalry of the Qing army. On the open battlefield, swords and swords were shadowed, people shouted and horses neighed, and thousands of cavalry galloped and charged, hacking and killing each other, so fierce that people could hardly breathe.And when the soldiers led by An Jiarong rushed into the formation of the Qing army, which had lost the cover of bows, arrows and muskets, a more intense battle began. All the soldiers who claimed to be invincible in foot combat all went crazy. , Regardless of the sea of ​​knives and guns in front of you, just crazily swinging knives to kill the enemy, slashing at anyone, killing at the sight of the enemy, all knives are attacking, there is no way to parry and dodge, he has already been killed by the fat man's weapon The courageous soldiers of the Qing army had no power to fight back. They were cut to the point of bleeding, their heads were separated, and they ran away with their heads in their arms.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill, kill, kill!" Fatty Lu's Yi nephew, An Jiarong, rushed the most fiercely, with two arms that were thicker than ordinary people's thighs, holding the village Zheng Yaodao tightly, with red eyes When he shouted to kill, he slashed with a knife. One knife was fiercer and faster than one knife. Even if the soldiers of the Qing army fought back, the swords and guns in their hands would be chopped off by An Jiarong together with their heads. In less than a moment, there were already more than ten The soldiers of the Qing army were buried under An Jiarong's knife, but An Jiarong, who was sprayed with blood all over his body, was still waving his knife and roaring like thunder.The [-] soldiers in the back were also like this, slashing people while charging madly, and habitually deliberately smearing the enemy's blood on themselves, turning themselves into a blood man, a blood man killing the god who made the enemy terrified.

"Kill! Kill!" Equally crazy was Hu Tongchun, the fierce soldier of the Fat Army. Hu Tongchun simply took off his upper body armor, held a big ax in his bare arms, and followed behind the soldiers. , Just such a straight, unstoppable rush into the depths of the Qing army's formation, cutting the neat Qing army formation, and cutting deeper and deeper.

Encountered such a group of lunatics, such a group of Asura killing gods, the Zhejiang Qing army generals and soldiers who were able to draw a tie with the second-rate army Geng Jingzhong completely collapsed. He lost all his courage, and fled in all directions crying and shouting. The recruits of Zhejiang Qing army who were specially brought by Laita with the experience of fighting monsters and brushing broke down even more completely. The courage to run away was gone, and when he saw the jiu soldiers killing him in front of him, he simply knelt down and surrendered, and then his head was chopped off by the red-eyed jiu soldiers.The fat man's army composed of thousands of infantry and [-] soldiers was like a sharp knife piercing into tofu, piercing through it with ease!
"Block! Block!" There were also many grassroots generals of the Qing army who tried their best to restrain the soldiers, slashed and killed the fleeing soldiers in an attempt to stop the fat army's charge, but all their efforts were in vain, and they were defeated by the fat army. The courageous soldiers of the Qing army would rather hide from the steel swords of the supervising team than block the bloody knives and axes of the lunatics of the fat army. One after another, the Qing army sentries collapsed, and one after another the Qing army camps The team dispersed, and what was even more exasperating was that these deserters ran to crowded places, scattered more self-army troops, blocked self-army reinforcements, and played the vanguard for the fat army for free.

"Block! Block! Escapers, kill without mercy!" Qing army coach Laita was also still yelling. If Laita still had a glimmer of hope for close hand-to-hand combat before, then this will kill everyone in Laita. Hopes have been disillusioned, all dreams have been completely shattered, and I finally understand why the famous generals of the Qing Dynasty like Yue Le, Tu Hai, La Bu, Xilgen, and Cai Yurong refused to talk to Lu In the decisive battle in the wild, the fat man hid in the city like a tortoise and lingered on his last breath.Laita's biggest dream now is to quickly block this group of lunatics from the fat army, and then find a way for the army to escape as soon as possible.

"General, Wu Dog is coming to us!" A nervous and desperate scream sounded, and Laita put down the binoculars to take a closer look at the macro battlefield, only to be surprised to find that, unknowingly, the group of Fatty Army The lunatic had already broken through more than ten Qing army battalion positions, heading straight for his Lime Mountain flag formation.Lai Ta's face turned ashen immediately, "Could it be that Wu Gou captured the thief first and captured the king, and was going to chop off my head?"

"Flag the flag! Let the surrounding troops come to protect us!" Shanahana, the deputy capital commander, howled in despair, "Quick, fast! Hurry up and call for help!"

"Wu Gou's goal is not our flag array!" Yao Qisheng, who had been silent for a long time, roared, "Wu Gou is advancing along the official road, and he must want to rush to the back of our army and cut off our official road to retreat! Force us Retreat to the small road, and then Wu Gou will have a chance to expand the results of the battle! We should protect the official way and bring as many soldiers back as possible!"

"Fart!" Shanaha yelled loudly, turned to the bannerman next to him and shouted: "What are you doing? Playing the banner and protecting the banner array! I delayed the military situation, Wu Gou rushed up, and I was the first to kill you!"

"Zha!" Seeing that there was no objection from Laita, the Qing army bannerman quickly agreed, and quickly played the banner for help, asking all the surrounding Qing army troops to come to protect the flag array.Seeing the headquarters asking for help, the surrounding grassroots generals of the Qing army did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly led their troops to the foot of Lime Mountain for rescue. The generals of the Qing army, who were about to face the attack of the fat army, were even more pardoned, shouting the slogan of rescue the general , led the terrified soldiers and ran away, rushing towards the heavily-staffed Lime Mountain to seek protection. An Jiarong and Hu Tongchun rushed even more crazily and fast as the resistance in front of them was greatly reduced, and soon crossed the heavily-staffed Lime Mountain along the official road. Mountain, and rushed to the back of the Qing army's formation.

"Oops! Wu Gou's purpose is to cut off our retreat!" Shanahana screamed again when he saw the Fatty Army crossing the Lime Mountain position and directly attacking the self-army formation—there are many mountains behind the Zhejiang Qing Army Once the relatively flat and wide official road in the multi-wood Tianmu Mountains is blocked by the Fatty Army, the Qing Army in Zhejiang will have no choice but to flee to the trail. Not only will it be difficult to retreat and they will be hunted down by the Fatty Army, and the army will have to carry all the luggage Lost!
"Xizhi, you've hit the spot, what should we do next?" Laita finally remembered the existence of Yao Qisheng, a staff officer handpicked by him to accompany the army.

"You're only thinking of me now?" Yao Qisheng smiled wryly, and replied helplessly, "General, I really don't know what to do. Wu Gou's firearms are so powerful, so it's definitely not their opponent for a frontal attack, nor is it their opponent for a field battle. Now the slaves have no other choice but to save more troops and return to Huzhou Changxing to defend the city."

"Order to retreat now?" Laita hesitated, the main force of Fatty's army was watching the tiger at close range, and now ordered to retreat and turn around to let Fatty Lu kick his ass, the casualties would definitely not be less than that.

"Da Zhou—!" A new shout sounded, and the Han Yuanren team on the left wing of the Fat Man Army had also launched an attack, targeting the Xifu infantry on the right wing of the Qing army.Seeing this scene, Yao Qisheng couldn't help but roared, "General, don't hesitate anymore! Wu Gou is attacking our right flank now, the purpose is to entangle General Xifu's infantry team, so that General Xifu can't retreat or cover our center. Army! Once Wu Gou succeeds, if we want to retreat, the price we will pay will be even greater!"

"Mingjin, the whole army retreats!" Laita finally made up his mind, pointed at Shanahana again, and shouted: "Shanahana, you lead the army to the rear!"

When the gong for withdrawing troops sounded, the various units of the Qing army, which had already collapsed in will, began to retreat like a tide, scrambling to turn around and rush to the way they came.Seeing this scene, the Fatty Army cheered even more, and Fatty Lu also smiled, and said with a smile: "Little Laita is pretty smart, if you retreat in time with more than half of the casualties, you can at least escape back with a full dog, if it is a little later In an hour, I will definitely cut him down to nothing."

"General, stop praising the enemy, it's time to attack?!" Wang Xu, who couldn't wait to jump on the horse, asked loudly.

"Of course." Fatty Lu smiled, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Mr. Lei is attacking the drums. I will personally lead the formation. You all go up. The more you kill, the better."

More than 200 cowhide drums, which ordered the general attack of the whole army, rang, and thunderous shouts and cheers erupted from the various units of the Wu army, which had long been itchy. A series of white torrents rushed towards the Qing army who had no fighting spirit.Fatty Lu, who had been nervous for an afternoon, also sat back on the chair, knocked on Erlang's legs and swayed triumphantly—the victory was already decided, and Fatty Lu, whose force value was almost equal to zero, was naturally not interested in leading the army to hunt down and kill him.

"It's getting dark." Fatty Lu yelled again as he looked at the setting sun, "Erlang, let the auxiliary army prepare torches and send them up to the front, and hunt them down with torches. You must kill as many dogs as possible. Let's strive for more victories! By the way, the order allows Mangou to surrender, and we really need the leading party."

In the ensuing battle, the offensive of the Fat Man Army could only be described as destructive. The soldiers of the Qing army ran all over the mountains and plains, crying and shouting, climbing up the mountain peaks, and getting into the dense forest. The armor on his body was replaced with the blood clothes of dead soldiers, and he joined the brigade and fled south.The Fat Army's Hutongchun and An Jiarong's two teams have successfully seized the narrow part of the official road and blocked them with all their strength. They turned all of them into blood men and cut their knives and axes, but they still couldn't stop the Qing soldiers and generals from hugging Heads rushed past them, crying and shouting, while more soldiers of the Qing army entered the narrower mountain path. Horses and men raced and trampled each other, and countless people died in Luojianluoxi.The Fatty Army Brigade chased them with all their strength with torches, while recruiting and surrendering, they clung to the tail of the Qing Army Brigade, desperately expanding the results of the battle.

On October 13, the [-]th year of Kang Mazi in the Qing Dynasty, the Great Qing Pingnan General Laita Division fought against the Wu Rebel Army Lu Yifeng Division in the south of Yixing County. In this battle, our Qing army lined up on the back of the mountain. Lu Yifeng, the general who retreated from the thieves, attacked many times, beheading countless heads of thieves and soldiers!But in the end, due to the outnumbered enemy, unfortunately defeated, Shanahana and Yatari both sacrificed their lives for the country, and the number of sacrificed soldiers is countless. Afterwards, the Great Qing Pingnan General Laita still led the rest of his troops to successfully move to Changxing, Huzhou, and continued to forcefully fight against the further attack of Wu's rebel army. ——The above records, some excerpts are copied from the memorial to the victory of the Great Qing Dynasty Pingnan General Laita.

The Fatty Army's pursuit continued until dawn the next day. After the Qing army brigade led by Laita fled into Changxing County, the exhausted soldiers of the Fatty Army retreated and returned to Jiapu Town singing loud military songs. Fatty Lu, who had rushed to this place, joined the army, while the sporadic battles in the Tianmu Mountains continued, and Han Yuanren was still leading the infantry of the Fatty Army to search, kill and arrest the Qing army in the mountains.

When Fatty's army generals entered Fatty Lu's tent happily to report their victory, they saw Fatty Lu personally interrogating a Qing army prisoner of war in his tent. The prisoners of war were chattering in ugly Manchu, and they didn't know what they were asking and answering.

"Everyone, thanks for your hard work." Fatty Lu waved his hand and smiled when the generals came in, "Sit down and drink first, and the banquet is ready. When I finish interrogating this prisoner of war, I will set up a banquet for you to celebrate."

"General, is it important who this prisoner is?" Wang Xu asked curiously while drinking water.

"Man Gou Pingnan, General Laita's personal soldier, was trampled and broken by other Man Gou when he was fleeing for his life. Fortunately, he was not trampled to death." Fatty Lu replied smoothly: "I am very curious about something, so I want to ask ask him."

"Brother Lu is so clever, what else can make you curious?" Hu Tongchun flattered him.

"The whole dog is attacking our Yixing City." Fatty Lu replied: "From the information I have, although the man dog Laita has some ability, his strength is only the command on the battlefield. On the other hand, he is relatively conservative and rarely takes risks and sneak attacks. This time Mangou let out rumors to rescue Songjiang Jiaxing, but actually came to attack Yixing. This is obviously not his previous style of using troops, and it almost caused us a big loss, so I think Find out who made this tactic, and know yourself and your enemy to win every battle.”

"It's still the general who is careful, that's true." The fat man hurriedly flattered the generals.At this time, Itanbu had also finished his conversation with the prisoner Qing Bing, turned to Fatty Lu, and said in Chinese with a nod and bow: "General, the last general has already asked clearly. It was a bad idea given to Laita by a traitor surnamed Yao. Also, Laita seems to still appreciate that traitor surnamed Yao, and this time he brought him to the Yixing battlefield to serve as a staff officer."

"Yao what? Does he know the name?" Fatty Lu pouted at the prisoner of war.Yitanbu hurriedly turned back to ask again, and after getting the answer, Yitanbu hurriedly said again: "General, this prisoner of war doesn't understand Chinese very well, he only knows that the traitor's surname is Yao, but he doesn't know his specific name. But he remembers that The official position of the prisoner of war is the business of Zhejiang Wen Chudao."

"Just know the official position and surname." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and ordered: "Itanbu, you take this prisoner down to apply medicine to treat his wounds, and reward him with some wine and food. If he wants to go, let him go. If he doesn't want to Go and make it into your team."

Itanbu agreed, and quickly asked the prisoner to thank Fatty Lu, and then led the men to carry the prisoner out of the big tent.Only then did Fatty Lu give orders to Xiao Erlang: "Erlang, ask the cook to bring in the food and drink. Also, send someone to the Mangou prisoner of war to find out the name of that Yao Wen Chudao."

Xiao Erlang agreed, and quickly conveyed the two orders. In a short while, the food and drink were brought into the big tent. Fatty Lu, Wang Xu and others, who were so hungry that their chests were already on their backs, made some polite remarks, and immediately settled the case together. While he was munching, Xiao Erlang returned to the big tent, cupped his hands to Fatty Lu and said, "Master, I have sent people to ask the captured Mangou prisoners of war, and they confessed that the traitor surnamed Yao should be It's called Yao Qisheng."

"Yao Qisheng?!" The chopsticks in Fatty Lu's hand fell to the ground, and a nervous expression appeared on his fat face—Kang Mazi's full-scale counterattack may come at any time. At this time, Yao Qisheng appeared behind Zijun, which is not good news.

"General, what's wrong with you?" Wang Xu and other fat army generals were all taken aback.

"No...it's nothing." Fatty Lu waved his hand, thought for a while, and immediately turned to Wang Shaobo next to him and shouted, "Shaobo, write a letter for me immediately, and tell Yao Qisheng, who is full of dogs, Wen Chudao" Thanks to him for luring the main force of Zhejiang Mangou to Yixing to throw himself into the trap. I decided to designate him as the chief envoy of Zhejiang in the Great Zhou Dynasty and reward him with 5000 taels of silver. Continue to lurk beside Laita, waiting for new orders at any time."

"Understood." Wang Shaobo quickly agreed, and asked again: "Boss, how did we let this letter fall into Laita's hands?"

"Write it first, let me figure out how to deliver it to Laita." Fatty Lu replied.
