Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 394
Song Qingshu didn't know whether he should be happy that he trained well in the army, or should be sad. A division is equipped with five thousand and five hundred catties of red cannons. After that, a large group of cavalry had already rushed up on their horses. As soon as the guns stopped, they climbed up the wall with ladders. The first road of the mountain gate was only more than 100 generations of the fourth division, and the guns were only a few old bronze cannons that had been eliminated. In less than 10 minutes after repeated attacks, the mountain gate changed hands. A brigade of infantry from the Fourth Division and the reinforcements from the Second Gezuo Division were almost wiped out.

However, the price was not paid in vain. Relying on the high ground, the Second Gezuo Division also adjusted from rest to combat readiness. A round of salvos killed more than 100 of the crowded cavalry in one round.

Originally Mantou Mountain also had a wall, but the crude thing built of stones was destroyed by a round of artillery when it took down Mantou Mountain. As an important stronghold guarding the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, Song Qingshu ordered to build a bastion here, one by one triangular The protruding wall of the village faces the outside sharply, and the artillery is hidden behind the wall of the village, flush with the playground, which is more convenient for transporting troops.

"You bastard, you can't take human life as human life!"

Just a round of shelling repelled the rebels, and before he could catch his breath, Li Yan sent the second batch of cavalry to charge forward fiercely. The energy that almost turned the army into puppets on weekdays was also used by the first cavalry division. When they came out, the blood of their comrades-in-arms was flowing under their feet, but they hit the wall numbly, and then a row of guns hit the bastion. The bullets grazed Gereye's helmet, and he cursed angrily.

On the upper and lower sides, the firecrackers fired at each other fiercely, and immediately the artillery roared and fell from the top of the head, taking away a large number of people's lives. Amidst the screams, Song Qingshu was carrying his banner, sitting in the red clothes with some confusion. Next to the cannon.

"Master, the students ask for orders, please send an army of pickers to protect me, and the students go to rescue the soldiers!"

"It's useless. The nearest one is the Second Division of Anqing. It's not stable there. I'm afraid there's no strength to support it. The fastest reinforcements will have to be this evening. The Anqing side knows the situation at this end, and calls the Second and Third Divisions. The strength of Anqing's first division is here to reinforce, and Lao Huihui has already withdrawn from the back mountain. If all goes well, he will be able to lead his troops back tonight."

"In short, no matter what, we must persist until the evening!"

It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon now, even if the reinforcements go all out, it will take at least three and a half hours to arrive, so Gerry, who is on top of his subordinates, took the time to add a sentence while roaring.

"It's up to people, what if Xiaosheng talks about Anqing's second teacher?" Zhang Huangyan still didn't give up, and then lobbied Song Qingshu.

"Cang Shui, many of those subordinates are old subordinates who joined forces with this commander. Tell me, why do they oppose me?"

Zhang Huangyan was taken aback by Song Qingshu's rhetorical question, and then he shook his head again: "Marshal, it is because they are the veterans who followed you in the army that they opposed you. I have also studied the marshal's rise, Xingjiaban Only one little radish is the leader of the frontier selection army, and the rest are like two idiots, Liu Dazhuzi and his like, who don't even get a division commander. Looking at Funiu Mountain, Chen Liuzi and the like are reduced to the middle level, and the veteran faction only has Liu The deputy commander-in-chief holds a high position, so he didn't come from these two places."

"The third most powerful force is Miao Mei, who is under Buzhanni's command. She was originally a general under the command of the commander and named after Deputy Commander Liu Zongmin, but now she is reduced to a mere beggar for the commander of the Fourth Division. Who is in the high position now? Sun Military division, the commander of Qihuo First Division, Zhou Yuji, General Xia with Scarface, and even the guerrillas who had defected to the army all became division commanders, so they naturally felt dissatisfied."

"In addition, the commander-in-chief recruited the imperial court and violated their wishes. It is not impossible for a smooth-talking lobbyist to say that they have betrayed the water. As for the relationship between the commander-in-chief and his wife, Xiaosheng will not say much. .”

At the end of the analysis, Zhang Huangyan was even a little elated. Fortunately, he turned his head quickly, and soon found that Song Qingshu's face was not good, and quickly turned bitter again.

"Yuanzheng, give Xiaosheng a chance!"

"Song Yongzhong, transfer a small team to support and protect Staff Officer Zhang to supervise the Second Division of Anqing!"

Finally, Song Qingshu stood up holding the banner. Hearing his orders, Song Yongzhong, who had been lining up on the edge of the playground, immediately stood at attention. This kid was a bit talented, and he had just taken over the 300-man frontier army from a small soldier. But he shouted orders without any stage fright.

"Liu Shitou, your team protects Supervisor Zhang from going down the mountain!"

At this time, the identity of Song Yongzhong's commander-in-chief's cronies is well known in the selection front army, and most of the selection front troops are selected from Yinghuo Shanmin. Even if Xiao Luobo rebelled, their family is under Song Qingshu's rule, and the more submissive they are now , the less implicated in the subsequent liquidation, the gang leader who was hit by Song Yongzhong didn't even say a word of nonsense, and he came out after lighting his own soldiers.

"Zhang Jianjun, please!"

It was a preemptive performance, but looking at Song Qingshu's melancholy look, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but persuade him: "Don't be too sad, Marshal, he is not benevolent and I am not righteous, and it is also good for the beggar army if these people leave. , Just like how Taizu killed the heroes back then, there is no one in the begging army who can compete with the commander in prestige!"

"Go ahead!"

"Oh, here!"

Song Qingshu waved his hand, but in desperation Zhang Huangyan turned his head and followed the mountain special forces and quickly ran down the mountain from the secret path of the cliff behind the mountain.

After seeing off Zhang Huangyan, Song Qingshu, holding his banner, suddenly strode to the wall where the bullets were flying, popped his head and looked down.

These are the subordinates I used to risk my name to protect, lead, and lead them to beg for a way out. How could I give up so easily?Holding on to the wall, the concrete pinched by Song Qingshu's palms splattered with scum.

After all, the rebel army has a lot of artillery, even if they rely on the fortifications, the cannons behind them are pulled up and fired in turn, but they are still suppressing the wall and cannot lift their heads. On the bastion, the corpses of the second division of Ge Zuo were killed by the cannons and shot to death. Yes, they were already densely packed, but at the foot of the bastion, the corpses of dead men and horses were even more densely packed, and the asphalt roads that had been bombarded were filled with blood.

In the flustered battlefield, a beautiful figure is particularly eye-catching. The sequined dance skirt used for dancing has been stained red with blood, but Yu'er can't take care of it. She learned some medical skills when she was a Yangzhou skinny horse. , bandaged, followed by a dozen or so military doctors, she helped to drag back the wounded and shot sergeants under the rain of bullets, and bandaged the wounds while pressing the gushing blood.

There is such a blood-red angel active on this battlefield, adding a bit of vitality to this hellish battlefield, and the warrior who turned around and saw Yu'er's figure inadvertently seemed to have a little more courage.

Up to now, the battle has been going on for more than an hour. It was still the Second Gezuo Division that pressed the rebels under the fortress. Relying on the favorable location, this battle was almost entirely a firearms duel, and the advantages brought to the defenders were outstanding. Officer, I am afraid that the long-term bombardment will be used to conquer this place, but unfortunately, Li Yan has no time.

But seeing that this tough battle was about to continue with the victory of the beggar army, the rebels who had been rushing forward under the flames of hell finally seemed to be weakened. He Yilong, who was bleeding from heartache, was relieved.

But at this moment, four horses pulled a burning car and rushed up suddenly, running over a lot of corpses, and He Yilong's beard stood on end in fright.

"Quick, quick! Gunner, kill that car, the thief is going to blow up our gate!"

The surrounding area of ​​the Mantou Mountain military camp is almost surrounded by slopes several meters high, and behind it is a cliff of hundreds of meters. There are almost no weaknesses. However, like all cities, the weakest part of the military camp is the gate. The gate here is a slope leading directly to the high mountain. In the playground, the heavy wooden door covered with steel opened outwards, and the inside was hooped by pure steel door bolts. Even if it was hit by a city car, it could not be easily damaged. However, with the explosives he used, He Yilong I really have no idea.

But Li Yan's move was too sudden, almost as soon as the infantry withdrew, he immediately sent the explosive vehicle to rush up frantically. The artillery was still aiming at the opponent's artillery. How could it turn around so quickly? After yelling, the explosives car on the other end had rushed downstairs, and the drivers were probably two old drivers, and all the explosives from a drifting and overturned vehicle were shot on the camp gate.

But before the two of them ran away, the violent explosion had already rang out, like a small mushroom cloud. The soldiers of the Ge Zuo Division who were close to the shock even bled from their seven orifices. Most of them didn't even hear the explosion. It feels like the pain in the ear is gone.

The battlefield was silent for a few seconds, and it seemed that Li Yan's hoarse roar came into his ears. Immediately after, the cavalry of Dai [-] Division cheered loudly, and charged forward again brandishing their sabers.

In this rebellion, they also overwhelmed everything. If they win and take control of the begging army, the status of the elder faction in the begging army system will be greatly improved, and those who joined later will be suppressed. And he can get his wish to fight Hong Chengchou and avenge the revenge of the year, but if he fails, not only himself, but even his family will be harmed.

Many people joined and rebelled after Li Yan's highly contagious speech. It is estimated that many people were nervous about buying shares, but since this step has been taken, they can only go one way to the dark. .

It was also fortunate that He Yilong was not from a traditional military background, and he would not stick to the rules when fighting. Seeing the opponent's cavalry charge forward, he insisted on roaring, and helped the nearest cannon in red to turn a corner. Immediately, he pushed the cannon cart and ran out.

The red cannon weighing more than 500 kilograms was more than two meters long. When it was pushed out like this, it flew for more than one meter before falling, and it was smashing into the cavalry rushing towards the gate. Crushed to death and injured more than a dozen, even the Daiyi Division who beat him couldn't help it.

There was no need for Ge Liyan's order. On the top of the wall, the soldiers threw the tiger squatting cannon, the red cannon, and even everything that could be thrown down. Once again, the cavalry was blocked tightly, but they seemed to know that this was the only breakthrough. The rebels shouted again and rushed upwards, throwing away their horses and biting their sabers. The Gezuo guards who came down from the wall also shouted and rushed down with their bayonets in their hands. For a moment, fire and blood turned into iron and blood. And the killing was even more brutal. In just a few minutes, hundreds of people had already stained this small place with blood, filling up the space even more.

"Marshal, summon the forward troops to retreat! You will be the rear at the end!"

Although the gap was blocked, He Yilong was still sweating on his brow, even his beard was wet, and he yelled anxiously at Song Qingshu. Up to two-thirds of the soldiers, plus Li Dingguo's battalion, there are less than 2000 people left. He has no way to stand under artillery fire for more than an hour.

But with the flag upright, Song Qingshu hummed expressionlessly.

"I'm so handsome! No one can force me to retreat in Yinghuo Mountain, not even a single step!"

"Big guy!"

I was so anxious that my eyes burst into flames, and Ge Liyan's anxious pair of short-sighted eyes seemed to be healed. At this time, Li Yan seemed to know his own advantage, and recalled the red-eyed cavalry, and ten red-coated cannons shot again. Head held high once.

rumbling~
A series of explosions exploded, but they were not at the top of the city. In Li Yan's inconceivable turning around, on the road in the distance, the formed infantry formed a battle line with bayonets on their shoulders, and they were pushed behind him.

Anqing Second Division!Originally belonged to the legion organized by Gao Yingxiang's Chuangjun captives!Here comes the kill!
