"Kong Zhongming is like a dog! You don't follow martial ethics! You have to die a good death! This king will come back one day. First I will dig your ancestral graves, and then I will play with your women!"
At this point, Gong Dayong can only vent his anger by verbal abuse and curses.
To be precise, both sides have no moral ethics.
One side used artillery to sneak attack first, and the other side used planes to attack!
Under the indiscriminate bombing and wild strafing from the planes, the more than 100,000 rebels, who had no air defense capabilities at all, were beaten to the point of peeing, and finally exhausted.
At this time, no one is stupid enough to wait for death or surrender on the spot. Running fast has a better chance of survival than running slowly. No matter which direction, just run away...
An army of more than 100,000 people was being chased away like ducks by the planes of the dog army. It was impossible for the leaders of all walks of life not to get angry, but they had no choice but to bow their heads and admit their defeat.
Thinking about it, this must be the dog emperor colluding with Yan Shenggong, using Qufu as a bait to lure the rebels to attack, and then dispatching planes.
Gong Dayong is as stupid as any idiot. He couldn't see such an obvious thing.
Nowadays, many leaders who have suffered great losses have become the second-guessers of hindsight...
He scolded him as he ran, and if he met this big fool again, he would definitely use his wives and concubines to offset his losses.
Through the radio, the Air Force asked Kong Zhongming to dispatch vehicles to cover up the rebels, and to engage in a pincer attack on the main force of the rebels with the government troops coming from the direction of Ziyang.
Even if Kong Zhongming was reluctant, he would not show it at this time and sent a convoy of fifty armored vehicles to hunt down the defeated rebels.
"Gong Dayong, the dog thief! If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place! Just accept your death! Let me blow up this dog thief! First blow up his crotch, so that he can't even be a eunuch!"
Although Kong Zhongming could not command the air force planes, he was still very happy when he saw the air raid scene outside the city.
The more heavy the rebels' casualties were, the happier he was. This showed that the rebels no longer dared to think about the holy city of Qufu.
On another day, Kong Zhongming, who was Yan Shenggong, would never have said these words.
Now that the situation has been reversed, I can finally feel proud and clear of the previous gloom.
Today must be an auspicious day for myself and even the entire Kong family.
After retreating from the enemy, he must lead the Kong family to offer incense and worship to the saint.
If a saint protects his family, Qufu will definitely be fine, but it will not fall down for thousands of years, and will not decline for ten thousand years...
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The members of the King's Division crew looked at the series of explosions on the ground without any psychological fluctuations. They were no different from the bombing of targets in the Holy Roman Empire last year.
His Majesty's treatment of the king's soldiers and military personnel is very high, which is enough to make everyone wholeheartedly charge into battle for Emperor Haojing.
With a large number of advanced heavy weapons in hand, there will not be too many casualties when charging into battle, especially when facing the following ragtag group of externally strong but internally capable.
Maybe they can still show off their majesty against ordinary people, but when they meet professional soldiers who make a living by fighting, they are just a bunch of harvested leeks, nothing more!
Without being equipped with anti-aircraft weapons, this ragtag group of people had no power to fight back when faced with air attacks from the aircraft fleet. They could only be passively beaten and exhausted.
Those who can run may live a few more days, but those who cannot run will definitely die on the spot.
In less than an hour, the so-called "880,000" rebel army was beaten to a pulp by less than 88 combat aircraft. The scene was extremely miserable.
Under the fierce air raid, the scene was extremely chaotic. Gong Dayong was afraid that he would be injured by bullets, so he did not dare to move his horse back to gather his defeated men.
The most important thing right now is to run, run as fast as you can, run as far as you can, other things will be discussed after you survive...
But there are also things to pay attention to when running. You can't run blindly, otherwise you will die.
There are canals to the west and south of Qufu, Yimeng Mountain to the east, and Mount Tai to the north.
As long as he could run into any mountainous area, he would be able to regain half his life.
The key is that if they are caught up by the dog army's plane before reaching the mountainous area, it will be all over.
Fortunately, Gong Dayong chose to ride a horse instead of a car, and lost his golden cloak on the way so that he could escape on the battlefield.
Many minions can't even tell left and right, let alone identify the direction, but they are not stupid either. They know that they can always survive by following their king.
Wherever the king goes, they will follow him. It is much better than being killed or captured by the dog army.
At the time of the incident, they already had a murder case on their hands, and everyone knew that there was no chance to look back at this time.
Previously, a total of forty-two rebel armies gathered under Qufu City. The most powerful ones were Gong Dayong, who had more than 30,000 people, and was known to the outside world as one hundred thousand.
There are only about 1,800 people, so it is not enough to be the main force, but it is not a problem to be responsible for reconnaissance. It is just that the big boss eats meat and the little boss drinks soup.
Now the situation is just the opposite. The minions of the big bosses who had more troops before naturally followed their masters, and directly pointed out the targets for the Ming Air Force fighter planes overhead.
Naturally, these big bosses were unlucky. They couldn't get rid of the tail behind them. Even if they split up and ran away, there were still planes following them above their heads.
Unless the leader flees with dozens of soldiers, even a few hundred people will be targeted by the plane.
Whether you can survive or not depends entirely on luck. When a bomb is dropped and bullets are swept over, who exactly knows who it will hit?
At this juncture, even if his own son was shot, he couldn't turn around and save him.
At that time, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, kicked his son out of the car in order to escape for his life.
With such a good role model, of course the bosses will imitate him!
The problem is that Emperor Haojing is not Xiang Yu, and the Ming Air Force is not Xiang Yu's cavalry.
Whether it is a fighter jet or a gunship, its lethality is much greater than that of the cavalry, and there is no need to worry about being shot down.
After the bombers with long endurance dropped their bombs, in view of the battlefield conditions, they also stayed to help, shooting at the enemy with machine guns.
Subsequently, 85 helicopters arrived in the surrounding areas of the battlefield to help fixed-wing aircraft pursue the enemy.
Compared with fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters are actually more suitable for this kind of work due to their slower speed.
This made Kong Zhongming overjoyed after hearing the news. He was originally worried about sending a convoy to chase the enemy, but now he no longer had any worries.
The Ming Air Force can only invest less than 200 combat aircraft in the Qufu area, because it also needs to invest a large number of aircraft to help suppress the battlefields in Henan, Sichuan, Huguang, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places.
According to Zhu Cixiang's vision, the Air Force will invest a total of 5,000 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters in this operation to ensure full bloom and at the same time, severely defeat the rebels everywhere...
Most ordinary people only saw how advanced the weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty were from movies or TV. If they did not join the army, they would rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with the real stuff.
The intuitive impression of these powerful weapons is obviously not as good as that of retired soldiers. Based on this misjudgment, many people think that Master Wang is just a piece of goods that is worthless.
The rebel leader's repeated deception in the early stage, coupled with a certain emperor's deliberate show of weakness in the mid-term, led to their disastrous defeat in the later stage!
On the day of the operation, Zhu Cixiang received battle reports from many places.
Wang's division was in Qufu and Licheng in Shandong, Xincai and Songxian in Henan, Gucheng, Daozhou, Anhua and Chenxi in Huguang, Hechi and Zhen'an in Guangxi, Lianzhou, Lechang, Renhua and Baochang in Guangdong. , Guihua, Taining, Chong'an and other places in Fujian have all achieved great victories.
It is estimated that the total number of rebels annihilated is no less than 200,000, and as many as one million have been defeated, and the results are still being expanded, but this is only the first step in the campaign.
The most important thing is to encircle and suppress the rebel nests in the four major areas of Dabie Mountain, Mount Tai, northern Guangdong, and southern Jiangxi. Each place requires no less than five brigades of encirclement and suppression troops.
Including the forces required for mobile operations, the total strength of the King's Division for the suppression campaign cannot be less than forty brigades.
To this end, Zhu Cixiang has mobilized thirty brigades of reserve soldiers and mobilized twenty brigades of combat troops from the north to go south. Together with the Ming's local field troops and special operations brigades, it is basically enough.
It is expected that the initial investment will be no less than 300,000 officers and soldiers, 2,000 tanks, 1,000 artillery pieces, and 5,000 combat aircraft. The combat intensity will be much lower than that of the "Imperial War".
Moreover, this operation is on the mainland, so the logistical support is much more convenient, and there is no problem with the supply of ammunition and food, which can support the Wang Division's all-weather operations.
But we must also face the existing difficulties, that is, it is easy to defeat the rebels on the frontal battlefield, but it is difficult to enter and suppress the rebels entrenched in the mountainous areas.
Operations to suppress mountainous areas are basically left to the mountain brigades and special operations brigades, in conjunction with a large number of helicopters.
No matter how familiar those guys are with the terrain, they can't withstand the combination of helicopters, special forces, and incendiary bombs!
It is impossible to blend in with the common people. All common people in war zones will be moved away by the local government.
The government also followed the rebellion, so they could catch them all in one fell swoop without having to conduct screening...
The captured people will all be sent to mine first. The identified Liangmin can go to the north to farm, and the rest can continue to atone for their sins.
This is what will happen if you dare to rebel even if you refuse Yimin!
Since these things chose to ask for trouble, a certain emperor would do as they pleased and feed them until they died of exhaustion!
"Your Majesty! We have been running for a whole day and a night. Brothers, we really can't bear it anymore!"
A confidant begged Gong Dayong. If he kept running like this, everyone would be exhausted to death before the dog officers and soldiers could catch up.
"...Rest during the day and drive at night!"
Gong Dayong, the self-proclaimed "Jihad King", once had the most powerful force in the entire Shandong Rebel Army, but now he only has a dozen minions around him.
If you don't take into account the feelings of your subordinates, I'm afraid you will be alone in less than two days, and you will have to start from scratch.
Gong Dayong himself was exhausted physically and mentally. He never expected that Gou Guanjun's aircraft could be so powerful. He had heard about it before, but now he had experienced it for himself.
If I had known it now, why bother then!
If he knew these things before committing the crime, he would definitely choose to move obediently. Why should he ask for trouble and suffer this?
My family had evaded taxes before, but it was not a big deal, as long as they paid in full.
Unlike now, apart from a dozen or so people around him, he was completely destitute.
How stupid it is to leave a wealthy gentry alone and become a wanted criminal by the court~!
"Brother~!"
A line of cavalry came running from a distance. There were less than ten in number, and the leader was still shouting.
"……Um?"
This voice sounded very familiar. Gong Dayong looked and saw that it was his second brother Gong Dayi and his third brother Gong Dazhi.
"Brother, I finally found you!"
Gong Dayi was covered in dust and his face was very tired, but he finally showed some joy when the brothers met.
"It would be nice to be reunited!"
Gong Dayong took a lot of blood, and it seemed that his second child was still fine.
"Brother..."
The youngest Gong Dazhi's eyes darkened after he finished speaking, and he was about to fall off his horse. Fortunately, he was held by his subordinates.
"Why is Third Brother like this?"
Gong Dayong asked with concern when he saw this. He also knew that it was hard for his two younger brothers to run away.
"My third brother was shot in the shoulder. I'm still lucky to be able to hold on until now!"
Gong Dayi pointed to the mid laner and explained that without God's blessing, they would not have been able to get here.
"Then rest quickly, check the condition of Third Brother's injury, and apply some medicine to prevent the wound from getting infected!"
Although his close relative was injured, Gong Dayong did not intend to abandon his younger brother.
"Brother, are you going to Mount Tai?"
"Exactly!"
"This place is still more than half way away from Mount Tai. I'm afraid Tai'an's dog army will stop us halfway!"
"How do you want to act, second brother?"
"It's day and night, and we can enter Mount Tai from between Feicheng and Tai'an!"
"...Yeah! It's consistent with what Brother Wei wants!"
If we go this way, we only need to cross the Wen River. If we go eastward, we will have to cross two or three more rivers.
"It's a pity that the dog's skin was lost on the road, otherwise it would have been safer to go on the road!"
Gong Dayi felt that if he disguised himself as an officer or soldier, at least he would not be easily discovered.
If you can travel at full speed, you can run back to Taishan's hometown in three days at most.
Now that his third brother is injured, although he can persist, Gong Dayong cannot ignore his brother's feelings.
Fortunately, it was more dangerous during the day, and everyone needed to rest, so the third brother could be given more rest.
"People in the woods, listen! You have been surrounded by the King's Master! Quickly surrender your weapons! Don't resist stubbornly!"
"……ah?"
"this……"
The sound of helicopter propellers was heard above their heads. Everyone thought that as long as they didn't talk or move, they would be able to turn the corner. However, they never expected that Gou Guanjun would actually discover their hiding place.
Presumably, the soldiers who went out to search for food must have been caught or surrendered to the enemy, which attracted the dog officers and soldiers. Gong Dayong was really angry. No one could believe it at this time.
"Brother! What should I do?"
"If you are captured by the dog officer army, you will have to be punished by Ling Chi! We will break through to the north!"
"good!"
More than thirty people did not dare to stay where they were and resist, so they could only run northward like crazy.
War horses are definitely not as fast as helicopters, and they are not as fast as bullets. The machine gunners on helicopters will not skimp on ammunition.
In less than five minutes, the trees along the way were devastated by the rain of bullets, the ground was covered with bullet holes, and the metal storm showed no signs of letting up.
Under the crazy shooting, more than 20 people and their mounts were killed and wounded.
The two "Vulture" helicopters still refused to let go and kept circling over Gong Dayong and his party...
