Under the Chinese military platform, the atmosphere fell into silence.
The officers looked at the messenger jokingly.
When did this happen? Your main force has been surrounded in the city, and it's clear who wins and who loses!
"General, you are very prosperous now! But did you know that?"
"Tsk, you are trying to say that I am so young, already in a high position, and that I am from a top family in the country. I have the northwest frontier army to rely on me. I am already on the verge of being jealous of the royal family. If I suppress you Bai Lian again this time, If the religion succeeds, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the royal family? Hey, who are you, the White Lotus Sect? Can a certain family be able to shake up the master by annihilating you?"
As soon as he heard what this man said, Jia Hui guessed what he wanted to say.
It's just that he will be suspected, his achievements will shock the master, etc.
These days, even scriptwriters find this rhetoric cliché!
Even though he seems to be in power, in fact, he is still far from the Jia family's heyday!
In addition to being the same Grand Sima General as himself, Duke Yan of the Ningguo Mansion next door is also the hereditary commander of the Beijing Camp, a bachelor of Shangzhu Kingdom, Wuyingdian Palace, the former military governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Palace, and the founding general of the country, Ning Guogong. .
Jia Hui's biological father-in-law, Jia Yuan, did not give in too much. He included Dazhu, General Yunhui, Minister of the Ministry of War, Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and Rong Guogong, the founder of the country who promoted sincerity and declared force.
The most important thing is that the two of them were standing in the court at the same time!
Not to mention the next generation of Rong Guogong, Jia Hui's grandfather Jia Daishan was the emperor's childhood friend, companion, confidant, brother and number one horse boy who grew up wearing crotchless pants.
In addition, the ministers and in-laws of the Jiangnan clan who basically suffered no losses in the war, let alone ordinary people, even Jia Hui still does not fully understand how strong the Jia family was in its heyday and how trusted it was by the royal family!
Where is Jia Hui?
"This" I heard a series of familiar words spoken by Jia Hui without any pause. He didn't even notice Jia Hui's contempt for the White Lotus Sect. He was stunned on the spot without knowing what he was doing.
"Hey, I'm talking about you. Is someone right? What are you doing in a daze? Answer me!"
Um?
Hearing Jia Hui's somewhat impatient tone on the high platform, he quickly confessed.
He straightened up again.
"Since the general knows his situation, why are he still working for Qi Ting? Why not switch to my White Lotus Sect? I am the leader of the sect."
"Cut the fucking nonsense and get to the point!"
Am I a rebel or are you a rebel?
The envoy was filled with slander in his heart, but he still handed Jia Hui the surrender decree given to him by the leader, and then stood under the high platform and spoke to Jia Hui.
"My family's leader has said that, General, you are a mere magistrate and you are not worthy of your strength! My family's leader is willing to split the earth and make the king, and the entire Shaanxi Xingdu Division and the Anxi Protectorate will be your fiefdom. , everyone here can obtain a title commensurate with your abilities. Please abandon the darkness and turn to the light, lead these tiger and wolf masters to join our White Lotus Holy Sect, and jointly establish the Buddha Kingdom on earth, everyone can."
As the envoy spoke, he was about to start promoting the doctrines of the White Lotus Sect to the surrounding officers. However, seeing the cold eyes of the officers, the envoy obeyed his heart and became quiet. .
Split the earth and become king? manor? Title? Oh, after all, don’t you want to be the emperor? One after another, even if the earliest slogans of this gang of rebels are louder than the last, what will happen in the end? Instead of proclaiming emperors and founding countries one after another, he turned around and became the person he once hated the most.
Suddenly I lost interest in the White Lotus Sect. When I originally saw that one of the main reasons for the White Lotus Sect's rebellion was to launch a campaign to rescue the slaves and world servants and let them stand up and take charge, I thought that their teachings had mutated and turned red, and they would be the same as the group of people in the previous life. Just the same, let the oppressed working people stand up and make the decision!
If this is the case, then what's the harm in giving up this wealth and honor to follow them?
Unfortunately, as more and more intelligence came to Jia Hui, he discovered that the White Lotus Sect was not even worthy of carrying shoes for that group of people. They were just a group of pure evil rebels who only knew how to confuse people with their evil words.
In the end, it was once again confirmed between the lines of the leader of the White Lotus Sect that the leader of Lao Shizi wanted to be the emperor. Jia Hui smiled disdainfully and threw this thing called a legal decree, which was actually an imperial edict, off the platform.
"Whose father's crotch is untied? This guy comes out and claims to be destined by destiny, and wants to pass on the Law of Lao Shizi to me? Send an order to the firearms camp, and give me a hard beating!"
The officers under the high platform yelled at the same time, frightening the messenger so much that he fell to the ground, and the white lining turned yellow instantly.
"Hang this traitor's head on the flagpole!"
"No, General, no! If you don't kill the envoy during the battle between the two armies, killing the envoy will ruin your reputation, General. General, think twice!" When the envoy heard that he was about to die, the envoy collapsed on the ground. After regaining his energy, he wailed and begged for mercy towards Jia Hui on the high platform.
"Then hang him whole on the flagpole!"
You are really a good person!
The messenger was completely desperate. On this sunny day, he was afraid that he would have to choose between dehydration and sunburn in less than two hours.
No one paid attention to the envoy's thoughts, but two soldiers came out, one on the left and one on the right, to set up the envoy and walked towards the flagpole.
"Master, this disciple has tried his best."
. . . . . .
"Master, look, is there a person hanging on that flagpole?" The Huguang general soldier vaguely saw something hanging on an empty flagpole of the Chinese army opposite. After looking carefully, it seemed to be a person.
"What? Let me see"
Whoosh——
"cannon!"
Boom!
A cannonball accurately hit the northwest corner of the city wall. The leader was stunned by the shock caused by the bombardment and his mind went blank. He looked around blankly.
A big hand grabbed his arm and pulled him back. The leader just stood up by instinct and ran with the owner of the hand. It was not until he got off the city wall that the leader regained his consciousness.
"call--"
It’s too risky! If the cannonball had hit one foot higher, it would not have hit the parapet but his body!
"Are you okay? Leader, leader?"
"Ah, hurry up, let the Shandong General Soldier lead his troops to rush out as planned!"
"yes!"
The artillery fire roared, and shells as big as a seven-year-old's fist hit the northwest corner of the city that had been beaten to pieces. A small brick wall collapsed, leaking out the rammed earth layer.
"There is a broken wall tile in the northwest corner. Brothers, hit that gap!" The commander of the firearms battalion saw the shattered and fallen wall tile in the northwest corner and immediately shouted excitedly. , turned around and gave orders to his subordinates. One artillery piece after another began to adjust the direction of the muzzle.
"Master, the leader has an order for you to rush out quickly!"
"Please obey the law!"
The Shandong general soldier looked up to the sky and roared loudly, knocked the horse's belly hard and rushed out.
The infantrymen behind them also roared, and the whole army left the city and rushed toward the east.
Hearing a roar coming from the east city, the leader hammered the ground unwillingly, and then returned to his masterly appearance with everything under control.
Why only choose the east side?
There is no need to think about the west, there may be reinforcements from the Qi army in the west at any time. The Holy Religion's army was obviously weaker than the Qi army, not in terms of personal force, but in terms of military formations and coordination. When the number of soldiers was small, they were able to break up the Qi army's formations and form a generally single force. Against one another, once the scale of Qi's army increases, the strict military formation will wipe out the Holy Religion's army.
If they bump into the reinforcements of the Qi army on the way to the west to get food, there is a high probability that the opponent will not be less than 10,000 people.
As for the south, if you want to go out of the city to plunder, you must cross the canal. Although the canal provides greater defense than the ordinary moat, the canal is also wider than the ordinary moat!
It can be said that apart from the Xijindu Camp, there are more cannons in the south!
Going down the river to catch fish without even thinking about it?
It's better to take advantage of the fact that the army in the east is still small and fight out!
The eyes of the Shandong general soldier gradually became firmer. The survival of the holy religion depends on this battle!
. . . . . .
The Qi army camp in the east of the city.
A neat army array was arranged on the ground, with ten cannons disassembled from warships at the front.
"Uncle, Lord Commander, why didn't they immediately turn south after leaving the city, but instead came to attack our army two miles away from the city gate?" the young soldier asked, holding the reins of the Commander's war horse.
"Because they have to cross the river. If we catch up and attack them while they are crossing the river, even if they repel us, the losses will definitely be considerable. It is better to defeat us first, which can save a lot of trouble. This Are you treating me like a soft persimmon?" The commander looked at the rebels who had been jogging since they left the city gate.
"This enemy general is also a talent. Say he is stupid, but he still knows how to jog to save energy. Say he is not stupid. He knows we have artillery but he doesn't know how to spread out and reload the cannon!"
"Reload the cannon! Hit the soldiers behind!"
"Reload the cannon! Hit the soldiers behind!"
The commander's order was shouted to the artillery by the messengers. The artillery quickly adjusted the muzzle and put the filled sub-cannon into the mother cannon.
"put!"
The artilleryman lit the match, which ignited the gunpowder. With a muffled sound, the solid bullets were pushed out of the barrel and flew into the air by the large momentum generated by the burning gunpowder.
"cannon!"
Boom!
The shells ruthlessly blasted into the crowd who were unable to dodge. Several people who were directly hit exploded instantly, but it still did not stop the shells from continuing to move forward.
After the cannonball hit the ground, it bounced up again and killed a few unlucky people again. This time it stopped bouncing, but its still rapid rolling speed and its own weight broke the legs of many people.
Smoke filled the air, leaving only a place where the seriously injured and fallen people were wailing.
"Reload!"
The enemy's wailing did not arouse the slightest pity from the commander, who just continued to give orders coldly.
Upon hearing the commander's order, the artilleryman quickly grasped the handle of the sub-cannon and took it out with a forceful twist. The comrades on the side who had been prepared immediately placed another sub-cannon on the mother cannon.
"put!"
The artilleryman lit the match rope on the cannon again, and another round of shells flew out, hitting the enemy's queue again.
The Shandong general soldier's heart is bleeding!
These twelve thousand men and horses are the last elite of the Holy Cult in Zhenjiang City, and there are even three thousand armored men!
The original plan was to rely on them to break through the Qi army's formation in the east of the city, and then let the army behind swarm up and annihilate this army with more enemies and fewer enemies. But in the end, the armored elite who rushed to the second echelon were the first to be blown away by the cannon and the array was scattered!
"Spread out and run, spread out and run!"
Without the commander's words, the queue had dispersed, and the losses from the third wave of shelling had indeed been reduced a lot. However, in this way, the commander's plan to hit the enemy with one point was still in vain.
"Artillery retreat! Shield truck!"
The artillerymen quickly pulled the artillery cart back and hid behind the shield cart. They replaced the bows and arrows.
Hey, before I became an artilleryman, I was also a famous archer in Jiangnan Camp!
Twenty or so artillerymen hid behind the shield car and began to snipe and kill those low-level officers who looked like small flags and general flags.
Just as the rebels trotted to the front of the Qi army's formation, the shield carts were already connected together, forming a circle of temporary but very stable "city wall"!
This was the vehicle formation used to deal with the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry on the grasslands during the Taizu period. It was not until the development and popularization of artillery that this vehicle formation was slowly replaced by the artillery formation. I’ve almost never seen it in the south, all I need is a surprise!
"Ce Na!" Seeing Qi Jun shrinking into a turtle shell, the Shandong general soldier was stunned!
"Master, what should I do?" the soldier asked quickly.
"No matter, leave five thousand families behind to drag them, and the rest of us will continue eastward with me!"
The Shandong general knew that the five thousand households who were left to lead the Qi army would definitely be doomed.
With the same number of people, the Qi army has nothing to fear!
After only confronting the Qi army in the east of the city for a short time about 70 steps away, five thousand households stayed behind and prepared to fight with the Qi army. In order to consume more elites of the Qi army, the Shandong general army also deliberately retained one thousand soldiers.
The White Lotus Army who stayed in place didn't have any strange emotions.
The Dog Officer Army only relied on the power of artillery to suppress our Holy Cult. If it were a real battle with real swords and guns, who would lose!
These fanatical believers of the White Lotus Sect are not afraid!
Lifting their spears, which were longer than horses, the soldiers also raised their heavy weapons, preparing to break into the Qi army's formation.
Reluctantly, he took the remaining seven thousand households and detoured away from the Qi army's vehicle formation. The Shandong general soldiers continued to march eastward!
Don't worry, I will definitely bring the food back, your death will not be in vain!
We must use Jia Hui’s head to pay homage to your souls!
"Hey, these people are here to die." The commander grinned.
"Uncle, what's the next fight? We are all soldiers, can we disperse them with a single charge?" The soldier looked at his uncle, the commander, with excitement.
Real sex is a man's romance!
"Go out? Who wants to go out? Why do you have to fight with them despite heavy casualties when you can slowly wear them to death?" The commander looked at his nephew with a curious look on his face.
"Ah? Don't we need to chase the enemy?" The soldier was a little surprised.
"I have not received a military order to pursue. Don't worry, this rebel army will not come back."
"Why?"
"Because Uncle Pingliang's troops are in Danyang County."
