Chapter 409 Drinking Hate Jiangbei V
"shot..."
'Bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...'
'Bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang bang bang bang...'
Row after row of prisoners were shot. Of course, all those killed at this moment were those who had previously attacked the people.
Chen Cao sat expressionlessly at the top of the city and looked at the execution site below, and then calmly said to his son Chen Boxing: "As the saying goes, water can carry a boat and also capsize it. The people are the water, the emperor is the boat, what can With their support, you can conquer the world. If they resist you, no matter how many ways you use, it will only be a dream in the end. My son, as your future king, you must remember that the people are your parents."
"My son understands."
"Afraid?"
Chen Boxing shook his head: "I was afraid at first, but now my son is no longer afraid. Father, if you want to kill my people, why not kill them all?"
Chen Cao turned around and glanced at him: "The Ming Dynasty is very big, and the population is not enough. The construction corps will be short of people in the future. As long as they do not attack the people, their crimes can be pardoned. Remember, bureaucracy is not an abuse of public power. Our Chen family Power is obtained from the people, not private products. In the future, if you are the emperor, no matter who you are, if you abuse public power for your own personal gain, even if he is just the head of a village, he must be severely punished and dealt with together when found."
"Yes, my son has remembered it."
"Your Majesty, the execution is over."
Chen Cao stood up: "Daishan really ran away?"
Xin Zhao nodded: "Tens of thousands of cavalry came out of the east city. The First Army blocked them desperately but with little success. It is estimated that no less than 10,000 enemies were killed at this moment, but the casualties of the First Army were also not small."
"Well, send someone to appease Weng Linzhi. It's not his fault. Immediately send an order to Tang Kainian and the Longwu Army to march urgently to pursue them. Li Yan and the others must not be attacked from both sides."
"yes..."
.
The large force was in urgent pursuit, but the opponents were all cavalry when they were withdrawing. The 28th Division was the rear group that turned to the front, and acted as the leading pursuit force. However, compared with others on horseback, they could not keep up with running on two legs.
Fortunately, when all the troops were training in Qingpu, the highlight of the first three months was running, otherwise it would still be unrealistic to chase people with their legs.
"Quick, quick, quick, don't let the Tatars run away, chase them, the fame lies ahead, our 28th Division must work harder, don't let the brothers behind take advantage."
Division Commander Liu Xiang shouted loudly while riding on his war horse. He believed that this was the biggest opportunity for his 28th Division since the war began, and military merit was right in front of him.
In Shuyang Nancheng, Li Yan was in charge of the command. Fortunately, Si Wushan's injury was treated promptly by Zhong Junxi, and now there are no other sequelae except the itching of the wound.
Wu Quan was dispatching instructions in the city, and Liu Shun stood beside him and said, "The battle in Beicheng is fierce. Fortunately, we all have rifles. Otherwise, we would defend the city with flintlock guns. To be honest, we only have ten tiger cannons, which are completely useless. There’s not even a fly here.”
After the Battle of Siwu Mountain, Liu Shun's 66th brigade was only half-organized. For this reason, when Li Yan was guarding Nancheng, Chen Jiming also directly assigned the guard regiment to Li Yan, barely enough to give Li Yan enough strength for a brigade.
Li Yan did not pay attention to Liu Shun, but stared closely at the distance of the official road: "The trench dug by Tan Tai earlier saved us a lot of time. His Majesty's army has arrived. There is no reason why Daishan can defend Huai'an. It must be It is absolutely impossible for them to abandon the city and leave by taking the canal. He does not have that many ships, and we also have a river fleet. Abate does not dare to take this risk;
Therefore, the official road to Shuyang is their only way to retreat. Moreover, if my guess is correct, most of this group of people should be cavalry. Once Huai'an is not guaranteed, Daishan and others must be covered by the Han army flags, and the cavalry will withdraw first. So First of all, we are actually under the greatest pressure here. "
After listening to Li Yan's analysis, Liu Shun was shocked. He was also trained in Huangpu and had military knowledge. He immediately said: "Master Li, listening to you is better than ten years of reading. At this point, we are here The problem on the side is big, no, I have to go find the master, no matter what, he wants two more groups to come over."
Li Yan stopped Liu Shun: "Commander Liu, don't panic. First of all, we are an all-rifle division. Secondly, Tan Tai dug such a deep trench for us. Once Daishan retreats, his cavalry can only dismount here. There are all small roads and waterways around the official road. If they want to take a detour, the cost will be higher than attacking the city. Moreover, as long as they choose to attack by force, there are trenches blocking it, and our rifles can hit far, so why aren't they a living target?"
Liu Shun thought about it and felt that what Li Yan said made sense, so he nodded: "Fortunately, Mr. Li is here, otherwise I will definitely get a scolding from the master if I go to ask for someone later."
The reconnaissance troops outside the city ran very fast. When Li Yan saw this, he said: "Commander Liu, please pass on the order. Everyone goes to the city and prepares to fight."
When Liu Shun heard this, he also looked outside the city: "Okay, let's go now."
Li Yan's fist lightly hit the female wall, silently thinking in his heart: Daishan, come on...
Sure enough, the scouts reported that a large number of Tatar vanguard troops were found ten miles away.
Liu Shun ran up the city wall angrily: "Mr. Li, you were right. They are really here. The Tatars probably failed in Huai'an."
Li Yan nodded: "Commander Liu, send the message to Commander Chen first. We just need to hold on until the pursuit force arrives."
"Pursuit?" Liu Shun asked, "Are they all cavalry?"
"Believe me..." Li Yan said firmly: "Daishan's goal is too big, His Majesty cannot let him go. His prestige within the Tatars is not small. Once Daishan fails, the morale of the Tatars will definitely plummet." ...We just have to hold on."
.
"Xu..."
Yue Tuo reined in his horse and went out to observe the situation in Shuyang: "Is Tan Tai's brain flooded?"
The trench in front of us extended to the front of the city gate, which was at least two miles away by visual inspection. This distance became a question mark not only for attacking the city, but also for passing by in a swaggering manner.
"Go and call the city..."
A knight dismounted and jumped towards Shuyang City with great difficulty. Before he was halfway there, he heard a 'bang' sound and the knight's head exploded.
Yue Tuo was shocked and screamed. Sure enough, a big flag was immediately erected on the city. After a while, he seemed to vaguely hear the sound of muskets coming from somewhere.
Daishan's Chinese army had just arrived and immediately asked: "Did Tan Tai fail?"
Yue Tuo nodded: "Amma, Shuyang must have fallen into the hands of Ming Gou, and our retreat has been cut off."
Daishan frowned: "How about retreating towards the canal? You can go horse racing along the canal."
Yue Tuo shook his head: "If you return at this moment, you will definitely be intercepted by the pursuers. We can only tentatively attack the city to see the situation. Shi Guozhu, send people from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty to charge once and see."
After the trench formation was spread from Shanghai to the north, it became a weapon for defending the city. However, now the attackers and defenders have changed. The trench formation is the most perfect position in the hands of the all-firearms troops. The cavalry cannot use their strength at all. tactics.
The charging General Qian looked at the trench in front of him and felt dizzy, but behind him was the commander-in-chief Shi Guozhu who issued a death order. Now they knew very well that this situation was seeking death.
But now I can only bite the bullet and dismount and rush forward.
Before they were halfway through the charge, gunshots rang out, followed by people around them falling one after another. The wounds torn by rifle bullets were particularly eye-catching.
"Ah... don't shoot, don't shoot, I am a Han, I was forced, the Tatar Prince Daishan is behind me..."
Not every member of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty is strong-willed. After all, they are all surrendered by the Liaodong Frontier Army. Their background as veterans has taught them what it means to be aware of current affairs.
Why resist in a situation where death is inevitable? Besides, the people shooting on the other side are all "our own people".
Li Yan looked at Liu Shun: "I heard it. Daishan failed. We have to defend the city well and wait for reinforcements."
Liu Shun geared up and said, "Okay, messenger, tell those puppet troops to forget about it anyway. Tell them that those who surrender will avoid death. All gather on the right side of the city gate."
Yue Tuo was unusually calm at the moment. After seeing most of the people in Qianqian Headquarters choose to surrender, he just looked at Shi Guozhu next to him coldly.
Shi Guozhu was sweating profusely, but Yue Tuo did not change his mood now. Obviously, judging from Shi Guozhu's performance, he himself could not stop this matter.
So Yue Tuo rode his horse and came to Daishan, surrounded by his family's trusted servants: "Amma, the situation can't be done. My two red flags cannot be ruined here."
Daishan understood what Yue Tuo meant: "Horqin has all surrendered. There are still 30,000 people under the two red flags. There are still nearly 30,000 people in the north. The remaining 30,000 people are all under the Han army flag. Who will cut off the rear?"
Yue Tuo looked at Xin Shan, and Xin Shan immediately understood: "I am willing to cut off the queen."
Just as Dai Shan was about to nod, Yue Tuo shook his head: "Amma, the third and fourth sons are dead. The second brother was defeated in Korea and demoted to the status of Beizi. Now he is just a town official. I, the two red flags, have lost face in Huai'an. Tong Jia was right in speaking in the palace."
"Master..."
Yue Tuo waved his hand: "Xin Shan has been with our family for many years. I think he will be able to help Ama accomplish things when he returns. Leave this place to me."
"Yue Tuo..." Daishan was about to refuse.
Yue Tuo waved his hand: "Ama, the Han people often say that things cannot be done. Now our two red flags have fallen into despair. Thirty thousand tribesmen cannot be left here. Now Ama immediately leaves the official road and evacuates to Suqian in the northwest. My son is here After the break, we will definitely buy time for Amma."
"Can't hesitate anymore, Ama, let's go quickly, Xin Shan..."
"Master..."
Yue Tuo clasped his fists towards Xin Shan: "The Tong Jia family has been married to my family for many years, and you have to help take care of it."
Xin Shan immediately dismounted and knelt down: "Master, don't worry..."
Daishan also knew the danger of the situation, so he nodded: "I don't advise you either. Don't be reckless after the separation is successful. Just retreat along the same route. I'll wait for you in Xuzhou. Zola, you follow Baylor."
Zola was a good person, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "This slave takes orders."
