Chapter 045: When the flames reflect the red sky
Hao Hutian's body was recognized, the leader general wearing white mountain armor and a sling. Zhou Shixian saw that his face was still very young, and his whiskers just appeared on his lips.
"I have just tried the wounded soldiers. This is Hao Yaoqi's nephew. He brought these 100 people in his camp!" Zhuang Yanchao reported excitedly, "Hao Yaoqi's garrison in Jinghai is about 7,000 and 2,000 cavalrymen. I heard that it was because he was not the direct line of the old camp of the thief, so he did not get the opportunity to enter Beijing."
Zhou Shixian looked at Hao Hutian and thought with regret that he was still too young. He was immersed in the pleasure of pushing the Ming army as if it was destroyed. He was too confident and forgot that the rabbit would bite people if it was anxious, but he was bitten to death by the rabbit.
Of course, you are not old, so I also remind myself that even if you have the advantage in the future, don’t underestimate the rabbit.
The commander of this rebellion army and the 100 main forces were destroyed, which greatly increased the confidence of Zhou Shixian and all his officials under him.
"Wei Shoujie," he called Wei Donglai to his side, "Have you deduced the style of play I just mentioned?"
"It has been deduced. In terms of range, the mezzanine is farther than the bow and arrow. Everyone thinks it can be tried!"
"Then try it!"
Wei Donglai ordered all the Shenji Camp to load ammunitions, and the two teams, from east to west, set up horses, lit the fire rope, held the gun with one hand against the shoulder, and the muzzle was facing upward, and lined up at the entrance of the station.
Ruichang's night was not collected and divided into two teams. As the two wings of the Shenji Camp, the first team of the Shenji Camp rushed towards the rebel cavalry not far away, which was still hesitating.
The great rebellion army, and the official army who dared to go out of the city to fight? Everyone took the bow in their hands, let the horses trot horizontally, and focused their minds to prepare for the battle.
Unexpectedly, the official army did not really rush over. Wei Donglai estimated the distance. With an order, the thirty soldiers of the Shenji Battalion tied the horses and dismounted the horses. They aimed at the riots in the distance. A row of guns was released, regardless of whether they were hit or not, and they got on the horse in the smoke. Ye Bubu from the Sanqian Battalion still protected the flanks on both sides, and rushed back to the station in a blink of an eye.
The result of the battle was not great, but there were actually thirty lead bullets, knocking down three horses and two people.
The rebel army had not figured out yet, and the second one came again. They still got off the horse and fired guns from afar and got off the horse. This time, they knocked down a horse and two people. The rebel army fired a wave of arrows, but even the other party's fur was not caught.
The crusade finally savored the taste. Although the loss was not big each time, it accumulated a lot. How could it bear it if it continued to fight like this?
Although I understand the truth, I still have no way to deal with it. I know that the opponent loses the attack ability after firing a shot and can take advantage of the situation to cover it up, but I can't do it if I want to catch up with the opponent's cavalry within a mile and a half. When I am really about to catch up, the opponent has already fled back to the post station. I will also suffer fire strikes from the corner tower and fence behind the post station, and I will suffer some losses.
At this point, no matter how stupid a person is, he understands that if he encounters a tough situation, he will not be able to fight. Otherwise, if he fights for a while, he will be able to eat whoever wants to eat it.
So he finally admitted his fate, rolled the flag and retreated, leaving home for 300 or 150 times, preparing to bear the anger of General Guoyi Hao Yaoqi.
This is Zhou Shixian's first attempt to play a musketman. At long distances, the accuracy of the mezzanine is limited, but the benefit of volleys of the gun is originally used to make up for the shortcomings of accuracy. I drew A, but I hit B, and you aimed B, but I hit A, which is the essence of volleys of the gun.
He thought to himself, today is just a volley of thirty guns. What if it is three hundred? What about three thousand? What about thirty thousand?
The idea of dismounting the musketeer planted a seed in his heart. Maybe he would have the opportunity to make larger attempts in the future, but what we need to do now is...
Hurry up.
It was obvious that people were dead all over the ground, but the station was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Chongzhen was very happy and issued an order to use the treasury of the Inner Chengyun Treasury to issue 800 taels of silver rewards.
Zhou Shixian thought to himself, this long lively master is really as frugal as ever...
Before the start, there was one thing that should be done. There were twenty-seven men and women locked up in the paving database. He was led by Chu Sining and tied his hands behind his back, tied his mouth with his strips, and knelt on the sandy land in the yard that had been soaked in blood.
"Chu Yicheng, look," Xu Yong held Hao Hutian's head and swayed in front of Chu Sining's eyes. "This is the one you are waiting for, the one you call to deal with us. Open your eyes and see, isn't it fun?"
Chu Sining's muscles twitched on her face, her eyes were closed tightly, but tears of despair couldn't help but flow down.
Zhou Shixian came to him.
"Chu Sining, I should have cut you off, but unfortunately I have noble people on my side, afraid of tainting their ears. I don't know how many passing officials and their wives and children you tied up and sent them to the thief. Today I will take your dozens of lives and pay back the debt."
After saying that, he took a few steps back and the Jinyi lieutenant executed the execution. Xu Yong deliberately connected Chu Sining's head to Hao Hutian's, and inserted it on the fence of the post gate to demonstrate to the pursuers that would surely appear.
Guan Qisheng joined the team going south with four people. Zhou Shixian fulfilled his promise and gave him a photo of the seventh-rank general war department, temporarily put him in the Jinyiwei team, and let him still take care of his four people.
Thinking of Guan Qisheng's identity as the border soldiers of Xuanfu, Zhou Shixian thought that although the Ming army can fight, the combat core of the peasant army seems to have defected or incorporated Ming army border soldiers. Even the old slaves in Manzhou were actually born under the rule of Li Chengliang, so combat effectiveness is really hard to say.
When it was the emperor and Empress got on the car, although the courtyard had been cleaned up briefly, the battles and the tragic killings of Shura Field could not be completely covered, and Chongzhen could still hold on. Empress Zhou held Zhuzi's hand and lowered her head all the way to recite scriptures. Princess Changping held her mother's sleeve, her face turned pale, and she got on the cart in a hurry.
Only Princess Zhaoren was blindfolded by Zhou Shixian and carried it from the room to the carriage, and saw nothing.
"Mr. Concubine, will you light the fire?" Rui Chang asked Zhou Shixian with his eyes.
"No," Zhou Shixian looked around, revealing a cunning look, "After all, it's the inn opened by my family, so I'll leave it for those who are destined to be."
When the convoy drove, it was about to turn dark, as if it was destined to be the same as the original plan.
After walking forty or fifty miles south in one breath, the convoy stopped and rested. Zhou Shixian asked the emperor and empress, and then went to the Geng cart to see the wounded soldier Chen Huowang who was enjoying the treatment of riding alone.
"Kow on me, my husband!" Chen Huowang said dumbly, "After treating me for a while in the morning, the villain has been much better."
Zhou Shixian was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhuang Yanchao who rushed over.
"The Prince Consort," he pointed to the back, "Look."
Zhou Shixian turned his head and saw that the sky in the north was red by the fire.
"The destined person comes so quickly," murmured the princess, "I underestimated this Hao Yaoqi."
