Chapter 242: The Sorrowful Young Marshal

In the territory of Nankang Mansion, which is dozens of miles away from Jiujiang, Zuo Liangyu's general Xu Yongzheng is desperately fleeing to Jiujiang.

Three hours ago, Xu Yong, who was arranging defense in Nankang Mansion, was holding the head card of Yucui Building when he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates that thousands of well-equipped cavalry had launched an attack on the large camp outside his city.

Xu Yong was so frightened that he almost lost his fist, he knew that this was the Tianwu Army stationed in Nanchang Mansion, and something must happen to Jiujiang, Xu Yong didn't dare to be careless, and after kicking away the top lady who was still coquettish in his arms, he hurriedly got dressed and rushed back to the camp.

When Xu Yong rushed to the outside of the city, he saw that his battalion was being rushed left and right by a group of cavalry who seemed to have entered no man's land, mourning everywhere, miserable, and the 20,000 horses under his command had run everywhere, Xu Yong was directly stunned.

Just when he was dazed, the cavalry of the Tianwu Army saw this general, who was in fancy armor, and they all shouted and ran towards him.

Seeing this, Xu Yong hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran, first going back to Jiujiang to meet Zuo Shuai.

Zuo Liangyu's defense in Nankang Mansion didn't even hold up for half an hour, and the cavalry of the Tianwu Army broke through the defense and directly chased Xu Yong all the way into Jiujiang Mansion.

......

Now Jiujiang City has gradually quieted down, the young marshal Zuo Mengeng, who is hiding in the east of the city, has a bitter look on his face, he wanted to escape from the city and call for the left army outside the city, but he didn't expect that the four city gates were all held by the Tianwu Army, and there were some Jiujiang guards who were dressed in dirt and garbage.

Zuo Mengeng really wants to smoke a few big mouths of himself, the defense of several city gates in Jiujiang is not strong, why don't he take the city gate first and let the army come in first! But on second thought, did the 50,000 army outside the city eat? Why haven't you entered the city yet? Could it be that he was secretly surrendered by the crown prince?

The more Zuo Mengeng thought about it, the more frustrated he became, and decided to go to the city wall to have a look.

The young marshal Zuo Mengeng is capable of becoming a general, not only because he is Zuo Liangyu's son, but he also has a few brushes, otherwise in history, when he surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty after Zuo Liangyu's death, how could he suddenly become so good at fighting, and he also overturned Jiang Xiang, the general soldier of Datong, and made a great contribution to Tartar.

In a small alley, Zuo Mengeng took off his bells and whistles young marshal armor and put on a guard uniform that was put on by his subordinates in a sack.

After making a slightly exaggerated makeup, Zuo Mengeng swaggered to the city wall and glanced out through the battlement.

At this glance, Zuo Mengeng's heart instantly became cold, and he saw that the thousands of Heavenly Martial Army in Jiujiang City had already opened a formation outside the city, preparing to attack the left army.

The trumpets and war drums outside the city continued, and the musket array of the Tianwu Army began to advance according to the order, and opposite them were tens of thousands of troops of the Left Army.

Most of the soldiers of the left army were wearing hoods or leather armor, except for a few young and strong, and more old and weak, who held spears and a small number of arquebuses in their hands, and were looking in horror at the high-spirited phalanx in front of them.

At this moment, the officers and men of the Left Army felt that they were the officers and soldiers, and they were the rogues......

A staff general of the left army in front of the battle shouted: "Brothers! There are only a few thousand of them, kill them all and rescue Zuo Shuai! ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Smack......."

As soon as the general of the Left Army finished shouting these words, before he could draw his sword and attack, he was beaten into a hornet's nest by the first volley of the opposite Tianwu Army.

Sun Yingyuan pulled out his sword and shouted loudly: "Ten steps and one round of shooting, attack!" ”

"Ten steps and one round shot, attack!" The ministries began to wave the order flag to convey the military order in an orderly manner.

"Kill!"

All the sergeants of the Tianwu Army shouted loudly and stepped forward in order.

"Fire!"

The sound of popping bean-like muskets rang out, and only a row of fires flashed, and then a cloud of smoke rose up, and a blood mist erupted from the armor of the front row soldiers of the opposite left army, and they rolled over the ground with a scream.

In the midst of an uproar, the first row of musketeers of the Tianwu Army immediately retreated after being released, cleaning up the barrels and loading the cartridges and ammunition, the whole process was extremely skillful, and even many soldiers did not even look at their own barrels and directly loaded the medicine.

"Fire!"

The musketeers of the second platoon stepped forward, and in command, together they pulled their triggers.

Deadly fires shot out, and the left army on the opposite side once again shot out blood mist, and they were knocked to the ground one by one.

Suddenly hit by such a strong firepower, the left army was stunned for a while, where have they seen this kind of scene, there are also firecrackers in the left army, but the loading, the crosshairs, don't use it! As for those archers, the distance of a hundred paces is completely out of reach!

After the volleys of the Tianwu Army, the men and horses of the left army kept falling to the ground like live targets, looking at the comrades in front of them screaming, bloody and miserable, the people behind were all colorless, and they shouted that the opposite was the devil, they ran back with a strange scream, what went into the city to save Zuo Shuai, fuck you!

In the shouting and shouting, the entire left army exploded, broke up in an instant, and fled frantically backwards like a tide.

"It's really a shame for the Ming soldiers!" Sun Yingyuan frowned and underestimated, and then ordered to stop shooting.

The rest of the matter had nothing to do with him, because he saw that the cavalry of the Tianwu Army had arrived.

The sound of horses' hooves, the smoke and dust rolled, a large area of black cavalry rushed in, they all wore hats and iron pointed helmets, the red tassels and bright red cloaks on the iron helmets flew in the wind, and the cavalry of the Tianwu Army pursuing Xu Yong had arrived at the battlefield.

When the left army that ran away saw another cavalry coming, especially when they saw the dragon banner hunting in the cavalry, they were even more frightened and shouted that they would run away, running everywhere in all directions.

Zuo Mengeng's face was very ugly on the city wall, the difficulty of the Tianwu Army was beyond his surprise, for a period of time, the tens of thousands of troops that his father had worked hard to recruit for many years were completely defeated, such a big gap made Zuo Mengeng difficult to accept, and at the same time he was extremely scared in his heart, and he didn't know where to go.

"What are you shaking?"

Just as Zuo Mengeng was thinking wildly, a sturdy Tianwu Army sergeant patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"Ahh Zuo Mengeng was clever, and when he saw the tall Tianwu Army sergeant beside him, he broke out in a cold sweat for a while.

The more the Tianwu Army sergeant looked at it, the more wrong it became, and he suddenly grabbed Zuo Mengeng's arm and said, "You kid is weird, isn't it a rogue spy?" Go with Lao Tzu to the Tianwu Army Security Department! ”

The so-called Tianwu Army Security Department is a branch of the Jinyi Guard stationed in the Tianwu Army, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Intelligence, and specializes in countering the work of the Tianwu Army, and at the same time has the function of supervising other officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Zuo Mengeng was shocked, and just wanted to break away and run away, but found that several sergeants of the Tianwu Army had surrounded him and sent him to the safety of the Tianwu Army.
