This gives Liu Wenchang the confidence to know exactly what he wants to achieve, so that many people below him can go ahead and do it!
"This is my plan. He Qingfeng already knows about it. Now there is another one like you. Don't let a third party know about it!"
"I understand!"
……………………………………………………
Tonglu!
Lin Man, Zhang Ye, and Zhao Bing marched slowly along the mountain road with a new army of 5,000 people and 80 artillery pieces!
Everyone walked quickly, and the bandits gathered in Tonglu City.
Lin Man looked at Zhang Ye and said, "Are our troops going to attack the city?"
"No attack!" Zhang Ye said: "The artillery melts the city and forces the opponent to fight in the field. What do we have to fear with a thousand cavalry?"
Lin Man smiled and said: "I hope there will be more thieves and soldiers!"
Hangzhou and Tonglu are not far away. The three of them marched at night with their troops and soon reached the mountains outside Tonglu City!
Looking around, Tonglu County was ablaze, and there were tents and figures everywhere outside the city!
"The army formation is not in order, there is no discipline at all, and the rebel army has no fighting power!" Zhao Bingdao said: "The artillery comes first, I will lead the cavalry to charge directly!"
"Is it necessary?"
Zhang Ye waved his hand, and immediately the artillery was in position: "These bandits didn't even release their horses to explore. We didn't even know we were under their noses. It would be easy to kill them. The cavalry was wandering around the outside to intercept the defeated army."
"That's it?" Zhao Bing looked at Zhang Ye dissatisfied: "If the cavalry doesn't rush to kill, will you fight?"
Zhang Ye didn't say anything, but looked at Zhao Bing coldly. Lin Man quickly kicked Zhao Bing!
Only then did Zhao Bing realize that Zhang Ye was the commander-in-chief, and he and Lin Man were just Zhang Ye's lieutenants!
"Yes, follow the order!"
Only then did Zhang Ye say with satisfaction: "Usually, brothers, it's okay to joke around, but the military formation is going to be in danger. Lin Man, you and your people will set up positions on the mountainside. After the artillery bombardment, the bandits will definitely come out of the city and destroy them!"
"Follow the order!"
Lin Man and Zhao Bing walked away together. After they were far away, Lin Man and Zhao Bing said: "It's time to fight, don't mess around!"
Zhao Bingdao: "Why is he the commander-in-chief!"
"Don't forget that he is still from the Inspection Department, and the other party's arrangements are correct!" Lin Man said.
Zhao Bing was stunned and helpless. The Inspection Department was directly under the emperor, which meant that Zhang Ye was the emperor's confidant.
After burning the incense, Lin Man and Zhao Bing both sent people to contact Zhang Ye. They were ready!
Zhang Ye personally directed the artillery, "covering the artillery fire for ten rounds, and then Xu advanced the barrage, firing as many shells as there were!"
Zhang Ye doesn't play any cavalry charge at all. What the hell do you guys know? Have you ever received training from the new army?
He has been in the New Army for half a year.
All subjects have been studied.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was thunder in the sky, artillery roared from the top of the mountain, and a shower of shells rained down.
Zhang Ye stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the panicked enemy troops below. His screams were blown over by the mountain!
The camp outside Tonglu seemed to have been washed away by a flood. The panicked people knocked down the torches and lit the tents and hay. The flames spread and gently licked the earth, kissing the earth inch by inch. One flame after another swallowed up other flames.
Growing vigorously, the strong wind caused the flame giant to roar and roar, and the fire swept through the entire rebel camp, causing people to turn on their backs and horses to scream.
The coarse cloth clothes worn by the rebels were the best fuel. The flames engulfed individual figures. These people rushed out of the camp like torches, tearing through the darkness with screams!
Lin Man and Zhao Bing looked at each other!
"How could there be such a big fire!" Zhao Bing asked: "How could the artillery be so powerful!"
Lin Man whispered: "Did you see those wooden boxes behind the artillery camp when you set out?"
"Why would I pay attention to that thing?"
"But I asked around and heard from people in the artillery camp that there is a special kind of shell inside, which was newly developed by the Ordnance Supervisor. It is filled with white phosphorus. Once a fire is ignited, water will not extinguish it, and it will be poisonous after the war!
"
"Hiss... so cruel." Zhao Bing's eyes lit up: "I don't even want to be a cavalry officer, and I don't know if I can join the artillery army."
"..."
White phosphorus will pollute the environment after burning. At the same time, the burning white phosphorus flame is green and looks like a ghost!
Although Zhang Ye had known about it for a long time, he was shocked when he saw the sea of green fire outside Tonglu County!
It's so terrifying that people burned by the flames can't be extinguished at all.
No wonder it needs to be packed carefully in wooden boxes!
If this explodes... I will kill myself.
After a while, Zhang Ye smelled the smell of barbecue!
"The enemy is finished!"
Looking at the enemies scattered at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Ye ordered Zhao Bing to intercept them.
Just after giving the order, a scout horse came to report that a pair of men and horses came out of Tonglu County and were heading towards the mountain where they were!
Apparently the enemy troops in the city discovered their location.
Zhang Ye smiled: "Continue the artillery, don't stop!"
He went to Lin Man's position: "The enemy is coming, prepare to engage them. The ones coming out of the city should be the enemy's elite."
When Zhang Ye was talking, the enemy had already come into sight, with about two thousand cavalry, but they occupied the high ground and the cavalry had to dismount if they wanted to attack!
Far away, Zhang Ye heard the voices below urging an attack!
Lin Man smiled and said: "I don't know how long it will take them to come up. Without the horses, are they just lambs?"
"After finishing this group, we can enter the city!" Zhang Ye said. "No one will be left alive. Since they are the elite members of the Southeast Family, after our army enters the city, all the big households in the city will be killed!"
"Ah?" Lin Man looked back at Zhang Ye: "Killing people privately, you don't want to live anymore."
Zhang Yedao: "Why do you think the enemy troops gathered in Tonglu and not elsewhere? All the local big families have surrendered to the enemy. In this case, they are no longer our common people in Daliang."
"Maybe you are forced to have no choice!"
"Do I need to care if they are forced to do anything? If they surrender to the enemy, they are rebels. We are the army and we are not here to be good people. This is a military order!"
"Okay, I will obey your order, but what if your Majesty finds out!"
"I'll take the responsibility!" Zhang Ye said: "How can you dare to rebel and not pay the price?"
A soldier shouted: "General, the enemy has appeared, three hundred meters away from us!"
Lin Man turned around and waved his hand: "Get ready to pick up the enemy and prepare to throw fire bombs!"
Zhang Ye just watched. He was the commander-in-chief and was observing whether Lin Man and Zhao Bing were qualified soldiers.
This was what Zhu Youde meant. Lin Man and Zhao Bing had performed well before. This time they were asked to follow Zhang Ye just to see their obedience.
For now, Lin Man has passed the test, but Zhao Bing needs to take another look. Zhao Yong's grandson is still a little arrogant.
Under the firelight, several round bottles were thrown out, and the sparks on the fuse were quickly swallowed up. Then the mountains shook and the world flew into chaos. Huge flames rose into the sky, illuminating countless figures!
What followed was a burst of gunfire, and I remembered it neatly!
The rain of bullets fired by the three thousand musketeers would not stop at all. It was not until a soldier reported that a bag of gunpowder had been fired that Lin Man ordered to stop!
