The obedient King Kong Youde never dreamed that the Ming army, which had always been known for its timidity and fear of slaves like tigers, would dare to penetrate deep into the heart of the place where the Qing warriors were stationed.
"What?"
With a look of disbelief on his face, he grabbed the Tianyou soldiers who were rushing past him in a panic, and shouted loudly: "What are you trying to do to rob the camp? Who is going to rob my camp?"
Cao Shaozhong, the deputy general of the God's Blessing Army, rushed over with his men and shouted: "Marshal, it's not good. It's the Ming army... The Ming army attacked at night..."
Although Tucheng was already very noisy and chaotic at the moment, with panic and crying sounds coming from all directions, Kong Youde still had an expression of disbelief.
He roared and asked Cao Shaozhong: "We are surrounded by Qing warriors on all sides. Where did the Ming army come from?"
"Marshal Huidu, the Ming army rushed in from Tumen in the south..." Cao Shaozhong replied.
At this time, there were cries and howls in Tucheng. Most of the two Tatars from Tianyou Army and Wuzhen Chaoha Artillery Camp woke up from their dreams. Some of them even rushed out of the camp wearing single clothes.
They ran around outside for a while, shivering from the cold night wind, and ran back to their tents shouting and screaming. In the panic, countless fires were kicked away, and countless hanging lantern strings fell down...
Looking around, there were ignited tents everywhere under Tucheng, with fires everywhere and screams. Kong Youde stumbled to the northwest corner of Tucheng. He saw that the city was already in chaos, with groups of more than ten Ming troops riding around.
conflict.
"Assemble... Beat the drums and gather the troops... Kill the thieves... Kill the enemies... Kill the bright dogs..." Kong Youde roared at the top of his lungs.
At that moment, he whispered to him again: "This is not a matter of fear or not. Zhang Cheng's ability is not inferior to the elder uncle, but may be better than the elder uncle.
Zu Dashou turned his head and glanced at him, and said: "Da Bi, I also know that you wish for the best for Uncle Chang, and hope that Uncle Chang can become the most outstanding person in this Liao War."
A leader who followed him from Denglai to the sea and surrendered quickly ran up to him and reminded him intermittently.
After a while, four to five hundred people gathered around Kong Youde. Of course, most of them were gunners from the Wuzhenchaoha Artillery Battalion, but most of them were from the Liaodong Ming Army. Fighting in battle was almost their natural instinct.
The ability to come.
However, fortunately, after the initial commotion, many of the surviving God's Blessings troops had gradually gathered. They were shooting with muskets, holding spears, and even some soldiers were holding broken logs in their hands, and they fought back bravely.
After hearing this, an unconvinced look appeared on Zu Dabi's face again, and he said harshly: "How come our ancestors are still afraid of him?"
On the wall of Jinzhou city, there is a figure like a pillar, Liaodong forward commander Zu Dashou, wearing a mink cloak, standing on the south gate of the inner city, looking farther south.
As the rumbling sound became louder, the soldiers of the Xuanfu Army Cavalry Camp scattered everywhere, as if they had received orders, followed suit and threw iron lumps one after another.
"It's thundering?"
In fact, as the commander of the Ming Dynasty's most advanced firearms force, how could Kong Youde not recognize the "Ten Thousand Enemy" weapon? It's just that he didn't want to see the scene before him.
His heart was dripping with blood. These dozens of red cannons were almost equivalent to his life. He personally supervised the construction of these and even operated them himself.
At this time, Kong Youde saw a Ming army with less than twenty riders galloping from the north to the south. He hurriedly led hundreds of Tianyou troops around him to rush to the bottom of the city.
Although it shows that the army's night attack was sudden, Kong Youde couldn't stand in front of Daishan and made it clear that he was unprepared. However, "nine times out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory," the development of the situation went against Kong Youde's wishes.
Although he had more than 2,000 cavalry under his command, most of them were sent elsewhere to block the Ming army crossing the river northward. There were only less than 2,000 infantry and artillerymen here, and then there were the artillerymen from the Wuzhenchaoha Artillery Battalion.
There was a hesitation in Zu Dabi's eyes. He said softly: "Brother, do you think someone really raided the slave camp at night?"
I thought that the Tatars were attacking the city at night, which aroused the exclamations of surprise from the soldiers under my command. However, after exiting the gatehouse, I took a closer look and saw that there were columns of fireworks burning in the Qing army camp in the distance to the south.
Seeing Chen Guangfu arriving with his troops, and there were more than 300 soldiers around him, Kong Youde gradually sobered up and calmed down. He shouted loudly: "Cao Shaozhong, you continue to gather troops and guard the artillery everywhere in the city. Chen Guangfu
, lead your men and horses to rush down, fire with muskets, and kill these gangsters who are desperate for their lives."
…………
"Damn Ming Gou, how could there be such a thing..."
At this moment, there were only about twenty soldiers left around Kong Youde. He didn't take a closer look until now, and saw Ming cavalry clashing left and right everywhere in Tucheng.
In fact, the explosive power of ten thousand enemies may be able to blow up the Qing army's artillery. This is just a guess, but its other function is very useful, that is, as an order to retreat!
Before the night attack was launched, Zhang Guangda repeatedly warned the accompanying soldiers that the explosion of ten thousand enemies was an order to retreat. Once the soldiers heard the sound, they would immediately throw out ten thousand enemies on the spot.
And at this moment, it is the time when the soldiers are sleeping soundly. Even if he wants to prepare for war, he will not get up at this moment. I guess it is the Xuanfu army who attacked the slave camp at night, so there are all these messy fires."
…………
Seeing that what he said was true, Kong Youde couldn't help but angrily cursed: "Damn, if there aren't tens of thousands of warriors of Prince Youli in the south, how did Ming Gou get here?"
"How can it not be true?"
More than 200 people were divided into four horizontal rows. Chen Guangfu was in the middle of the second row, shouting orders to control the pace of the advance, and at the same time constantly pulling the chaotic soldiers around him into his formation.
Judging from the way they fired their guns, they were all very casual. I wonder if they had no aim at all and were just shooting randomly for show.
When they first quietly sneaked in through the Tucheng Gate in the south, they were not in a hurry to use it. Instead, they rushed and killed in the Tucheng, setting fire everywhere. Especially when they encountered small cannons, they used heavy weapons to smash them.
, or quickly set on fire.
And at the same time, they moved closer to the brigade, worked together to break out of the Qing army's camp, and retreated to their own camp.
My ancestral family has been friends with the Wu family for several generations, and now it is a family of relatives. Naturally, we are like one family in Liaodong, and my eldest uncle will help my ancestral family maintain this family business."
At this moment, Chen Guangfu, a guerrilla under Kong Youde's command, led more than a hundred people to rush over. As soon as he got close to Kong Youde, he shouted loudly: "Marshal, the general escort is late."
"Qiu Zi, protect Qiu Zi, get out of here, gather the soldiers and horses..." Kong Youde roared and drove them away one by one.
It turned out that Zhang Guangda and his party of more than 400 elite cavalry had packed two ten thousand enemy missiles in the saddlebags of their horses, in order to use them to bombard the cannons and heavy artillery of the Two Tatars after they rushed into the camp.
Deputy General Cao Shaozhong said anxiously: "Marshal, Ming Gou came suddenly. Our team was blocked in the camp and couldn't get out. How could we gather together!"
Zu Dashou looked at the fireworks everywhere in the Qing army camp in the south of Jinzhou City, and then said softly: "It is not easy for my ancestral family to accumulate this wealth. I think there are no outstanding talents among the younger generations. In the future, I may have to settle for my nephew, the eldest uncle."
On the body.
At this time, Chen Guangfu, a guerrilla from the Tianyou Army, also gathered hundreds of people under Tucheng, but there were shouts of killing all around, and they could not tell which side the Ming army was on.
Seeing this scene, Kong Youde's chest was surging, and he shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Du Leng is doing it here, go and gather the soldiers, we are going to fight Ming Gou."
Kong Youde had a look of horror on his face, and he shouted loudly: "What, what is this?"
Nowadays, Zhang Cheng is in the west and my ancestral family is in the east. They used to have nothing to do with each other. Now that we have this opportunity to fight slaves and bandits together, we naturally want to form a good relationship with them so that we can meet each other easily in the future. If something happens
, and can also help each other.”
Zu Dabi smiled a little sheepishly and said, "Brother, you are right. Dabi is indeed wrong."
Now, he has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu at a young age, and his future is limitless. However, even if he is transferred to Liaodong someday, he will not be able to compete with the strength of my ancestors' management for generations."
At the beginning of Mao Shi, there was only a glimmer of light at the edge of the eastern sky, but the vast land was still dark.
Just when he was halfway down the spacious ramp, he heard loud noises of "Boom! Boom! Boom!..." coming continuously. Kong Youde was stunned by the thunderous explosions.
Zu Dashou continued: "To be honest, I also hope that Chang Bo's Ningyuan Army will attack the Tatar camp at night. But Chang Bo's Ningyuan Army is stationed in the far southwest. Even if he wants to attack the slave camp at night, it will be too much.
Ergon, the thief's camp.
Guerrilla Chen Guangfu also shouted loudly, greeting more than 200 Tianyou troops, and slowly walked down a slope. Their formation was very neat.
In desperation, Chen Guangfu ordered hundreds of soldiers to form a formation in the middle of Tucheng in an attempt to intercept the Ming cavalry.
He then continued in a sincere tone: "Am I not just like you? I sincerely hope that Uncle Chang will be better than his predecessors and become the brightest star of our Ming Dynasty. But hope is all hope, and we still have to face the facts before us.
Accept with optimism.”
"...The enemy of ten thousand people...the marshal...is the enemy of ten thousand people..."
Suddenly, his face became almost crazy, and he shouted: "Kill, kill all these wise men for me."
It wasn't until he was about to break out after charging for a while in Tucheng that Zhang Guangda shouted loudly: "Ten thousand enemies, use ten thousand enemies to blow up the fucking cannon!"
It turned out that he and Zu Dabi had returned to the dilapidated South Gate Tower and had just undressed and lay down. Before they fell asleep, they were drowsy when they were woken up by a cry of surprise outside the gate tower.
Cao Shaozhong waved to dozens of soldiers, and then ran southward along the earth wall. They shouted and yelled all the way to summon the soldiers on the wall, and from time to time they raised fire cannons and shot at the bottom of the earth wall.
"Brother, could it be Uncle Chang's Ningyuan army attacking the slave camp at night?" Zu Dabi still didn't want to believe that it was the Xuanfu army that attacked the slave camp at night.
The excitement on Zu Dashou's face became more prominent, and he loudly said: "Look at the slave camp, there are rising fires everywhere, it obviously doesn't look like it was done intentionally.
Zu Dashou shook his head. As the saying goes, "There is no better brother than a good brother." Naturally, Zu Dashou knew the temper of his younger brother best.
A leader stepped forward and said timidly: "We are waiting to protect the marshal."
With tears in his eyes, Kong Youde kowtowed to the southeast in the direction of Shengjing City, and kept repeating: "Your Majesty, Kong Youde cannot live up to your Majesty, and has let down His Majesty's love and importance... Your Majesty..."
Facing the fierce Ming army cavalry, I really felt a little powerless.
Seeing that Zu Dabi could not help but nod his head, he continued: "But there is an old saying, it's called 'many friends, many paths'.
After getting the order, the soldiers from the cavalry camp who followed Zhang Guangda reached out and took out the black iron lumps one by one. They lit the fuse on the fire next to them and threw them towards the high earth platforms around them.
They galloped wildly, and wherever they went there was a sea of fire. Their hearts were filled with anger, but there was nothing they could do.
Zu Dashou whispered to him again: "Zhang Cheng is now the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, and he and I are in perfect harmony with each other. If you have the chance to meet him in the future, be sure not to offend him."
How could you sacrifice the near for the distant and come here to attack the old thief Daishan's camp at night?"
He secretly thought in his heart, tonight the Ming army attacked the camp, and many small cannons in his artillery camp were smashed and burned. If he couldn't leave some Ming dogs, how could he explain it to Prince Li?
He continued to murmur: "It's over... it's over... my Hongyi cannon... it's all over..."
His face was full of excitement, and he said: "It's really not simple. This person is really a person, and he dares to sneak attack on the Tatar camp at night. I admire him, I admire him!"
In this pitch-black night, the firelight was particularly eye-catching, but the scene inside the Qing army camp could not be seen, but the piles of fireworks were clearly visible.
"Um."
Now, he was attacked and destroyed by a group of unknown Ming troops at night. How could he not feel distressed? He just heard a sudden "pop" and knelt down on the cold and hard ground.
Kong Youde pursued to the south gate of Tucheng. He looked at the Ming army cavalry who had gone away, and his heart was full of hatred. Just now he saw with his own eyes that a newly cast red cannon was killed by
This bunch of bastards were blown up with ten thousand enemies.
He even said without hesitation: "Zhang Cheng, I really want to meet him now to see what kind of outstanding person he is!"
He went on to say: "However, now that troubled times have arrived, talents will surely emerge in large numbers in the future, but as long as he does not compete with my ancestral family for profits in Liaodong, he will make great efforts to make friends with me to expand the wings of my ancestral family.
Remember, 'One more enemy means one more wall'. If my ancestral family wants to survive in Liaodong forever, it must make more friends with young talents like Zhang Cheng."
"I know, brother."
Zu Dashou saw that he spoke sincerely and knew that he understood what he said and that he had indeed lost his mind, so he stopped continuing the topic.
Just listen to him calmly say: "Today is destined to be a fierce battle. Whether the siege of Jinzhou can be solved depends on this battle!"
