Volume Six: The Heart of the World Chapter 1841: Bloody Battle in Jiujiang Jiujiang

Li Fu gritted his teeth. Obviously, there was no need for anyone around him to remind him. He had already seen Li Zicheng's main force dispatched all over the country, especially the army was equipped with a large number of shield cars in front of the army. Li Fu was actually quite familiar with this thing. Whether it was the Southeast War, the battle to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong, or even when dealing with the northern barbarians outside the pass, he had seen this thing. However, the way each force made shield cars was different. For example, the Qing army liked to cover the outside of the shield cars with raw cowhide and poured water, so that it could prevent fire.

Effect. Li Fu understood that the shield carts were similar, and they were all movable defense facilities for defending against muskets and cannons. However, the cannons on his side were all old-fashioned cannons taken out from Jiujiang City. They were small in power and slow in firing. They probably had the will to deal with the thieves but were not strong enough. Although there were still many mine arrays that were not activated, if Li Fu was absolutely sure to withstand the powerful offensive of the thieves, no one could guarantee it. Especially Li Zicheng suppressed 150,000 soldiers, which was a terrifying number for Li Fu.

Li Fu turned around and said to his personal soldiers: "Go to the rear immediately to report the situation of General Wu here. Please think of a way to mobilize artillery reinforcements." "Get order!" The personal soldiers turned around. The regiment commander said to Li Fu: "Teacher, we have no extra artillery at this time. If we draw, we may only be able to transfer artillery from General Tao's main position." Li Fu said: "I'm afraid that's the only way. I'm not showing off. It's hard to withstand such a powerful attack with our strength alone! Besides, did you see that? Li Zicheng didn't plan to let the tens of thousands of hungry soldiers in front of us retreat, that is to say, we're in front of us.

These 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers were probably abandoned." As Li Fu said, Li Zicheng and his generals did not care about the life and death of hungry soldiers at all. There is no reason for the immortality of the soldiers in war. As long as the ones who died were not his elite, Li Zicheng had no fluctuations in his heart. He knew that when the two armies were fighting, the most feared that the defeated soldiers in front of him would disperse their formation. Therefore, as long as the hungry soldiers in front dared to retreat, they would be killed. You must know that among Li Zicheng's 150,000 soldiers, there were tens of thousands of archers among the 150,000 soldiers, and the dense rain of arrows they formed was enough to clear the ground in front of the attacking troops.

Li Guo had returned to the main camp of the main camp and met Li Jin and Li Laiheng. The three of them were all relatives and had a good relationship. Li Zicheng asked the three of them to lead 150,000 main camps at the same time, in order to enable them to exert the powerful cohesion of the clan, unite and fight the battle well. Li Jin said: "We will follow the hungry soldiers and work step by step. I just saw behind the formation. There were many traps on the other side's position, so let these hungry soldiers explore all the traps. It's not too late for us to go up again." Li Laiheng nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor attaches great importance to the main camp and the old camp soldiers. These are our capital. Can you lose less or lose less."

The hungry soldiers in front were beaten by the firepower of the Qingyi Army and ran away with their heads. They wanted to escape back, but what greeted them was the rain of arrows from their own people. The hungry soldiers were shot by their own people's bows and arrows and died tragically like hedgehogs. Those who survived clearly realized that they might have no choice. They would be killed by the officers and soldiers' muskets, and they would be shot to death by their own people's bows and arrows. They were desperate and crazy, and some people shouted: "Let's fight, fight."

"Some people waved their weapons and roared in despair: "A man died and birds were facing the sky, and they could still get a name under the guns of officers and soldiers. They could still get a name and die at their own hands, which was embarrassing!" These hungry soldiers had men, women, young and old, and all kinds of elements. On the battlefield, they just followed the people in front of them to charge blindly. Wherever they had many of their own thinking, they were all gathering in a crowd. Some took the lead in retreating, and some took the lead in charge, and they followed them.

An old man rushed left and right in the chaotic crowd with a yellow-faced woman. They didn't know what to do. The remaining more than 10,000 hungry soldiers were obviously divided into two parts. Some people went crazy and swung their weapons to the officers' positions. They were either punched through muskets or died on the spot. They were bombarded with cannons and mines. Some people rushed to the nearest place in one breath. Unexpectedly, the officers and soldiers had prepared tiger squat cannons to smash the cannons. These people were directly torn by the cannons as thick as their thumbs.

Broken, the corpse is gone. What they don't know is that Li Fu still holds a lot of flying thunder cannons in his hand, which is a killing weapon against dense formations and defensive equipment. Li Fu cannot use it for the hungry soldiers. He wants to keep the main soldiers who deal with the thief. If these hungry soldiers were hit by the flying thunder cannons, they would have disappeared. The old man led the woman to nowhere to run, and the woman shouted: "Dad! Dad! Can't go back, look, they are killing our own people." It turned out to be a pair of fathers

The woman is also a miserable person, but she was just a people who were enslaved by the Dashun Army in Huguang. After the Dashun Army captured the county town, she drove all the residents found in the county town out of the city. She inexplicably became the hungry soldiers of the Dashun Army. These old men and women had never been soldiers. In their eyes, being in the army was a matter of a middle-aged man. Who would have thought that one day she would join the army inexplicably? Originally, they thought that it was just a Dashun Army who was carrying them to walk, and wherever they went, they would be counted.

But who would have thought that one day the common people like them would face life and death on such an intense battlefield? Just now, the woman's husband was blown away by the cannons of the officers and soldiers. The old man turned his head and ran back to the formation. The fellow villager who was driven with them had already died. Now, looking up, there was no one he knew, and who could care about the life and death of others on the battlefield, everyone was trying to survive. The old man never expected that the Dashun Army would open fire on his own people.

Seeing that all the people who returned were killed, they were shot to death by their own bows and arrows, the remaining people began to turn their heads and run towards the officers and soldiers again. The old man was a little desperate, and he grabbed his daughter, "Or, or we should pretend to be dead and just lie on the ground." The woman shook her head and said, "Lying down like this, there are more than 100,000 people behind her, and so many people stepped on it. Whether the living or dead lies on the ground, they turned into mud." The old man said anxiously: "This is not okay, that is not okay, what should we do." Seeing that fewer and fewer people around, the old man was completely panicked. Suddenly, he heard a thud, and this was the figure of the projectile shooting into the human body, and huge blood was blooming on the old man's chest.

Flower, it was a gun bullet passing by in the chest, the old man was punched in the opposite direction, and blood foam was sprayed out of his mouth. He looked at his pale and thin daughter, unable to say a word, his lips squirmed for a moment, and then fell on his back. The woman went crazy. Since their family was entangled, her mother starved to death, her husband was blown to death by artillery, and now her father was also beaten to death. She held the kitchen knife in her hand, screamed, and rushed to the positions of the officers and soldiers, disappearing into a red light. This is just a microcosm of the final outcome of the thousands of hungry soldiers under the Dashun Army. In this chaotic world, life is worthless, and people live even worse than a dog, like a wisp of dust and smoke, disappearing into this world without any waves.

Boom boom boom boom, with a few explosions, the last hungry soldiers were all killed. All the hungry soldiers under Li Guo's command were killed in front of Li Fu's army. Although they didn't even find the trenches of the officers and soldiers, except for the artillery troops of Dang Shousu, the 50,000 hungry soldiers did not cause any casualties to the officers and soldiers, but their deaths were still of little value. At least, they broke the barbed wire position and consumed most of the mines buried in the Qingyi army in front of the formation. In addition to the manually detonated Lare, they were basically triggered by passively.

All the mines were sent by hungry soldiers, and Li Fu's artillery, which was already of low quality, can only stop fire and dissipate heat due to continuous and violent shooting. You should know that the heat dissipation time of these old artillery in Jiujiang City is much longer than that of the new army's standard artillery, which means that if you do not get new artillery support, then in the next half hour, Li Fu's army had to rely on manpower to force the attack of the Dashun Army equipped with shield vehicles without wire fences, mine arrays and artillery cover. The difficulty can be imagined.

Li Zicheng laughed loudly, "Haha, okay! OK! The officers and soldiers have no choice but to do anything. Our hungry soldiers are still valuable. Even if the officers and soldiers have eighteen martial arts, they are almost consumed." Niu Jinxing gave a thumbs up and said, "Sir, great." Li Zicheng said to a messenger beside him: "Go, let Li Guo and the others speed up, and rush up and collect corn when the officers and soldiers are calm!" Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance couldn't help flattering Li Zicheng, with some flattery words in their mouths, but Li Zicheng sneered, "Hmph, if that's the case, the officers and soldiers underestimate me. "Niu Jinxing was stunned. Isn't this a good battle situation already? Does the priest have any tactics? He and Song Xiance both knew that Li Zicheng had many ideas in war, and the tactics master was not just a waste of time. Could it be that the priest had a backup plan?
