Chapter 2: The Insufficient and the Scheming (2)

The same thing is definitely a different view in the eyes of different people. Hong Chengxiong's series of actions are almost completely unreliable in Zhuoba's eyes, but he seems to be unable to find a good reason to convince Wu Heimiao not to believe what he saw, but to make a person not believe what he saw, what else can he believe?

"King, Yuanzhou City urgently reported that in the evening, the Northern Dynasties' official army attacked the city, and four artillery pieces exploded into many places in the city walls. The enemy once attacked the North Gate and repelled under the command of General Ma Gui, but, just..."

"Just what?" Wu Heimiao asked anxiously.

"But our army dare not go up to the city wall anymore. The artillery of the government army is too powerful. Many brothers were buried under the collapsed city wall." The messenger who sent the message lowered his head and replied timidly.

Wu Heimiao took a breath and said, "The artillery of the Northern Dynasties' official army is so powerful?"

"Reporting to the king, what the young man saw with his own eyes, the official army built earth and cannons four or five miles outside the city. Then, as soon as the shell fell, the city wall was blown up. Many brothers had no time to run away, either being cheated or buried in rubble. Many houses in the city were also blown up, killing and injuring many people."

"You go down first!" Yin Ji Dai Wu Heimiao ordered the soldier who was conveying the message to go out and said.

"King, since the artillery of the Northern Dynasties is powerful, let's give them the city of Yuanzhou. Anyway, there are only a few people now. We have all the food and gold and silver in the city. As long as they enter Yuanzhou City, we will surround them from afar. As long as they are not within the range of the artillery, ten days and half a month later, when they are so hungry that they have no strength, we will attack the city again. No matter what the hell is, Hong Chenggong is the official poisoning, as long as he enters Yuanzhou City, you can't escape your palm, what do you think?"

But it also reached Magu's ears a lot. After listening to the description of the undercover staff arranged by the Phoenix Group by Wu Heimiao, Magu was so blushed that it was almost dripping with water. Sichun's girl had endless speculations about the mysterious and happy things. This is the first time she heard someone describe it in person. Fortunately, the person described was also a woman, and it was a deleted version from the inside line, otherwise she would not even have the courage to listen.

"Wu Heimiao is planning to withdraw from Yuanzhou?" After a long time, the blood redness on Magu's face faded.

"The news from the inside should not be fake!"

"So Magui will soon receive the order from Wu Heimiao." Magu said to himself.

"I'm afraid I've started to withdraw at this moment."

But this is not the case. Ma Gui not only did not withdraw, but instead won a big victory. The next morning, Zheng Nansheng commanded the army to attack the city again. With the assistance of artillery, he quickly broke through the first line of defense that Ma Gui ordered the people in the city to build on the collapsed city wall overnight and entered the city. Ma Gui also had some military talents. He knew that the first line of defense could not stop the attack of the official army at all, so he reduced his troops and freed up a space to let the official army enter the city continuously. Then he suddenly rushed up and got involved with the official army and started a fierce street battle. The Miao people were familiar with the terrain. Zuo Liangyu, the official army, had not experienced street battles much.

There was no combat experience, so he was quickly strangled thousands of people and retreated out of the city. Magui took the opportunity to chase him out. In this way, there were officers and soldiers among the Miao people, and there were Miao people among the officers and soldiers. While firing artillery, they also pretended to kill Miao people and his own people. Zheng Nansheng urgently ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, but the soldiers were defeated like a mountain. The officers and soldiers could not see the head coach, and even scattered everywhere to escape. Magui chased for nearly ten miles and withdrew his troops due to insufficient troops. Four cannons fell into the hands of Miao people. To be precise, Magui obviously could not have given such a sharp firearm to Wu Heimiao, and transported them back to the old city and handed them to Ma Laoguan, which became the private property of the Ma family.

The official army retreated for about twenty miles before the survey stopped. Zheng Nansheng gathered the remaining troops and ordered the battalions to return to build on their own, counting the casualties and losses. Then, with a crying face, the order of 5,000 casualties, weapons, food, and supplies was presented to Hong Chengqiong.

Although Hong Chenggong was lifted, his eyes could be opened. Although he expected that the losses would be considerable, he could not have imagined that it would be so huge. Looking at this huge reduction and loss report, Hong Chenggong's palm was more than just a sweat. He was gambled on his future. If Wu Heimiao was not deceived, he would have to take the blame himself. He also had the charge of deliberately deceiving the emperor. If those ignorant censors knew about it, they would have to be skinned if they did not die this time, but even if they won, they deviated from the counter-rebellion strategy formulated by the Military Museum. Now he only wants to offset his merits and demerits.

"Have you chosen the ambush?" Hong Chenggong asked with a heartfelt heart, and he had made a bet and didn't see the final result. Even if he took some risks, he should do it.

"I've chosen it, it's the narrow mountain road ten miles away. Our army has also built observation posts on both sides of the mountains. General Huang Degong has secretly led 5,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry to the predetermined location." Zheng Nansheng whispered. The operation was extremely confidential. Huang Defu's power army was hidden among the civilians who widened the official road, and then disappeared in the big defeat just now and arrived at the designated location.

"General Zheng Shen, how many levels do you think Wu Heimiao will catch up?" Hong Chengchuo asked suddenly.

"Half." Zheng Nansheng was stunned for a long time before he said two words with difficulty.

"It seems that you like Zheng Shen very much, half to half." Hong Chenggong smiled.

Zheng Nansheng was quite embarrassed and lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "It's really hard to judge if it's not Wu Heimiao," he said.

"What if I add this coach as bait?" Hong Chenggong suddenly asked seriously.

"Master, no!" Zheng Nansheng was shocked. Wouldn't he let him command the entire battlefield? That was a fatal thing. He couldn't do it and didn't dare to do it.

"If I catch this coach, maybe Zhuoba will dare to be interested?" Hong Chengchou could see from Zhuoba's eyes that he regarded himself as a soulmate and a strong enemy. If he had the opportunity to catch him, Zhuoba would probably shake his judgment and increase his chance of winning. What's more, just exposing himself. As long as he can lead his opponent to the ambush site, he will be safe. Why isn't this danger worth taking?

"Master General..." Zheng Nansheng still wanted to persuade him.

"Okay, you don't have to say more. I have lost five thousand athletes who are loyal to the court. If I cannot win this battle, I will have no face to meet the emperor!" Hong Chenggong said firmly.

"Jian Ping, look, those dozens of people are surrounded by them. Is the commander of the Northern Dynasties' official army Hong Chenggong, the commander of the Northern Dynasties?" Fan Li's general excitedly pointed at the dozens of agile who were chased by his own army less than a mile ahead and asked loudly, protecting the four people in the center, carrying the vine collapse like dead Hong Chenggong, who was carrying the vine collapse, and asked loudly.

Wu Heimiao suddenly heard that Magui defeated the official army and seized four cannons from the other party. A little bit of doubts had disappeared. Without the artillery, the official army was like a tiger without teeth. He immediately lit up nearly 50,000 troops to go out of Mayang and chased him up, vowing to wipe out Hong Chenggong's official army. As long as he wiped out the official army, with the artillery, the little boy Miao Minister in Chenxi City was not ready to capture it. Xiangxi is all his. How can Wu Heimiao not be excited?

Zhuoba wanted to stop it, and the military power was not in his hands. In the past, Wu Heimiao obeyed his words and rarely refuted it. Now it is different. He is the king and he is a minister. The title of the king and his subject is certain. It is impossible to be like before. I hope Hong Chenggong is really poisoned!

A fierce pursuit began between the mountains and valleys in western Hunan. As Hong Chenggong widened and leveled the official road, although it still could not reach a certain level, at least there was no problem with the army moving rapidly.

"Catch Hong Chenggong alive!"

The Miao people shouted over and over, chasing the retreating official army guarding Hong Chenggong. Even Zhuoba, who followed behind and observed the movements of the battlefield, could not see that Hong Chenggong deliberately used himself as bait and hooked Wu Heimiao's army behind him.

"King, our army has already chased to Yanzigou, where the terrain is easy to set up. Fan Li Shen ordered the villain to come and ask our army to stop chasing?"

"No need, the official army who lost Hong Chenggong is now like a dog who is betrayed. If you chase after him, you must capture Hong Chenggong alive. I want to see who can be so respected by the military advisor!" Wu Heimiao laughed proudly. Yin Ji, who was on the side, looked more charming and charming after being watered by Wu Heimiao. Her eyes were shining brightly, and her dreamy and intoxicating eyes were lingering on Wu Heimiao.

"Master, it's better to be careful!" Zhuoba suddenly felt a little ominous premonition and said hurriedly.

"Okay, be careful not to be at fault." Wu Heimiao was used to listening to Zhuoba's advice. Besides, he still needed to rely on people like Zhuoba to give him advice and said to the messenger: "Appoint the divine general Jian Ping, and the divine general Fan Li was careful to chase the enemy, and was caught in the ambush of the enemy, but I thought that there was no ambush. Go and send the order quickly!"

Zhuoba glanced at Wu Heimiao and said nothing.

When the messenger passed Wu Heimiao's order to the two gods who led the troops, it did not play any role at all. Both gods were desperately chasing Hong Chengji for such great contributions as capturing Hong Chengji alive.

One mile, two mile, three mile, the light suddenly dimmed. It turned out that it had entered the Yanzigou Valley. Hong Chenggong was still running for his life in the future. How could an ambush be set up in such a situation? He immediately raised his troops and chased him up.

Of course, how can an ambush be set up in Yanzigou? Ambush is used to close the gate and block Yanzigou. Wu Heimiao's army chased out of Yanzigou. Without seeing any ambush, they chased forward even more boldly.

"Huhhh..." A battle flag with the word "yellow" suddenly appeared after the Wu Heimiao army. The land on both sides of Yanzigou seemed to have life. Soldiers climbed up underground and quickly moved closer to the middle. They held the smoke in their hands and threw it into the middle of Wu Heimiao army.

"Boom..." There were loud noises. This was a grenade cannon that Zuo Liangyu and Hong Chengxuan had never used, that is, simple grenades. Although not many, they were enough to blow Wu Heimiao's army into a mess, and they could no longer care about the beginning and end.

"Kill!" After the cavalry that had been hidden for a long time, they killed the landmines after throwing the mines and cannons. They were attracted by this terrain because it looked like a swallow, with flat flanks and suitable for certain cavalry to rush. If there were too many, it would not work. Hong Chenggong's only had the power in his hand. Needless to say, Wu Heimiao had hundreds of horses, but they were not allowed to go to the battlefield and could not be used as war horses. When the Miao army with poor weapons encountered a well-equipped cavalry. Although it was not considered an elite cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, it was simply a baby dance sword. It was killed and was defeated and blood flowed into a river.

The attack launched by Huang Degong made Wu Heimiao frightened. When Zhuoba saw the cavalry that entered the Miao army like a torrent, he immediately understood that Hong Chenggong used four cannons, the lives of five thousand soldiers, and he carefully set up a game for himself. His heart was hated, and he lost. The moment he issued the "Catch Hong Chenggong alive" at Wu Heimiao, he hesitated for a moment. If he could restrain his desire to capture Hong Chenggong alive at that time, today's battle might not be as ugly as he lost now.

Yin Ji's beauty looks like she can only be a broken flower and willow at this moment. She tightly protects Wu Heimiao's male waist. As long as she can be with her own man, she will be safe.

It would be good if 50,000 people could eat half of them. Hong Chenggong felt that he had little appetite. As soon as Huang Degong launched an attack, the Miao army chasing him suddenly slowed down. Hong Chenggong decisively turned over and jumped off the vine collapse. Then, with the help of his personal guards, whether they were his own or the enemy, they got a war horse. Hong Chenggong flew on the horse, pulled out his sword, turned his head, and rushed into the Miao people himself.

The sharp sword combined with Hong Chenggong's martial arts skills, no ordinary Miao soldiers can match them.

The commander suddenly recovered and swung his sword into battle. The defeated official army quickly gathered the team. At this time, it was obvious that Zheng Nansheng had such a way to gather the remaining soldiers. Soon, thousands of people gathered around him, and more and more. This number was like a snowball. Not only did he stop escaping, but he picked up the weapons in his hand and launched a counterattack. In the flat field, it could be seen that the regular army and the miscellaneous mobs were separated. The regular army could temporarily form a combat group of five, ten or more people, and the offense and defense were specifically responsible, and there were also people commanding. The mobs would only fight on their own. No matter how strong the individual combat power was, they were strangled into flesh by several mediocre soldiers of the regular army.

There is no suspense in this battle. If there is a suspense, the Miao people's terrain is too familiar. As long as they scatter and escape from their own lives, it will be much more difficult to continue chasing them. Zhuoba immediately suggested to Wu Heimiao that as long as they could escape from the battlefield, they would flee in all directions. The officials would not dare to chase after them in the mountains.

Hong Chenggong wanted to surround him, but his troop strength was not enough. If he gave him ten thousand more troops, or replaced his troops with the Liaodong Army, he would not have to do so much trouble. The Liaodong Army is an elite in a hundred battles. If there were 10,000 or 20,000, he would definitely sweep across western Hunan and kill Wu Heimiao howled. Unfortunately, his army has been in less than half a year since it has formed an army, and if he has achieved his current record, he would have already recited "Amitabha".

After Zhuoba escaped in this battle, he sighed: "I am not good at making a plan!" Although he still tried his best to assist Wu Heimiao, he was obviously not favored by others.
