Chapter 63: Shaking the Mountain
Deng Zilong must have seen how he executed his runaways.
Chen Mu, who had accepted the task of overseer without knowing it, thought so, and swam behind the formation with his knife.
It may not be possible to let him hack the deserter to death, but it is often easier to give an order than to carry it out himself, but it is only easier.
It was even more difficult to execute it in person, and the banner army bravely held a spear behind the battalion soldiers who charged forward, deliberately maintaining a distance of more than ten paces, and constantly forcing away one battalion after another who retreated due to timidity.
No one wanted to kill anyone, especially the Ming Army, who was eating a pot of rice with him two hours ago.
"If you dare to retreat, I will kill you, charge, charge!"
Even the townsfolk who had never been in battle became fierce and vicious, leaping forward with their spears in their arms, and forcing back a few fugitives with a fierce look.
Shouts and cries abounded everywhere.
The war is stalemate.
Chen Mu just understood Deng Zilong's sentence 'Don't let them see the boat go', the rebels saw it, and Chen Mu also saw it.
In the hundreds of tigers rushing to shoot overhead, on the fast guns out of the big shield, in Deng Zilong's clash with the sword to kill the enemy - Chen Mu saw that the last rebels in the enemy formation were defeated by the front army for Deng Zilong, and the Chinese army kept retreating, pushing them and rolling down the river beach.
Some people threw away rusty farm tools, abandoned their only weapons, cried and shouted and ran in the water, and even stripped off their clothes and swam in a vain attempt to catch up with the fleet that was drifting away with the waves, but they could only be slapped back to the shore by the river.
The chaotic people who were not afraid of death and dared to face life and death in the regular army were afraid, frightened, panicked and even annoyed, without words, their movements and demeanor and the riots on the riverside and even over the battlefield could not hide Chen Mu's eyes.
One by one, they repeated the delusion of chasing the fleet, and one by one they got up again from the riverside, and returned to the battle formation in despair, and went forward to the Ming army.
Chen Mu could see clearly that these thousands of rebels had been abandoned by their leader.
"Brother Mu, this, this is?"
Shao Tingda came panting, he took a few cannons from the Xinjiang Bridge to the Chinese army, and then from Xinjiang Town, the Chinese army rushed to the riverside, and the situation of the Chinese army's two sections of the road has been turned upside down. Seeing that Chen Muqi's army was holding a spear and forcing the battalion soldiers to charge, he thought it was infighting, but after a pause, he reacted, turned around and pointed to the firefighter behind him and said: "Cannon, five cannons, Bai Qianhu will leave the hair, everything else is here!" β
All here, Chen Mu, who was brave enough to patrol the township Yongqi soldiers who were carrying a knife and patrolling the battalion soldiers, glanced back, four Franc machines and a bowl-mouth mortar cannon, three wooden boxes and large stone bullets and lead bullets were scattered, and the five cannons were lined up majestically.
This is a fart on the bones!
"The Franc machine pushes back, that thing doesn't work, the bowl cannon, the bowl cannon works!" Chen Mu patted the back of his head, stuck his saber on the ground, and pointed to the hundred tigers who were running to the frame on the side, and said hurriedly: "Reckless worm, take the two of you to push the frame over!" A few of you, Francois sent Wu Duan over and asked him to send people and reinforcements! β
Deng Zilong's men were almost expelled a long snake, barely blocking the rebels' position to kill on the shore, but it would not be long before they were swallowed up by countless rebels.
The surrender of the rebellion is most likely a death, and everyone knows that what they wear around their necks is not a head for the battalion soldiers or the flag army of the guard, it is shining silver. Now the fleet has been transferred by the rebel leader, and it has become a last battle, and most of them are dead, but they are not necessarily dead in battleβthey are all crazy.
In a normal war, the rebels had already been defeated, but the excellent defensive site of the Xinjiang tidal flats was becoming a dead place, the Xinjiang was backwater, the boats left, and the rebels were cut off from escaping.
If when they got off the boat, they were still a group of rebels who had just put on their shoes and wanted to earn them clothes, and now they are two or three thousand barefoot beggars, who can stop them?
Shao Tingda, who was pushing the wooden cart and running wildly, shouted to Chen Mu: "There are no reinforcements, the rebels on the bridge have increased their troops, and the leader of Wu can't stand it anymore!" β
Chen Mu was shocked, turned his head to look at the direction of the Chinese army at Xinjiang Bridge, where was the Chinese army at this time, the cannon didn't know when to get up early and no longer roared, the crooked barrel was almost broken, and there were a few artillery soldiers who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, but there was no trace of Bai Yuanjie.
"The general flag, the general flag! Bai Qianhu had an order, and the enemy attacked the Xinjiang Bridge too fiercely and was unable to rush to help. The banner army sent to report the news rushed back with Fu Yuan, shouting all the way and even running away with his shoes, "Thousands of households are ready to go into battle in person!" β
"How many people are there in Xinjiang Bridge, and Wuduan 2,000 people can't defend it?"
Chen Mu's eyes widened, his hideous face was like a vicious beast choosing people to devour, and then he saw Fu Yuan approaching and whispered: "There are thousands of people, and there are thousands of people swimming under the bridge that are attacking on the bridge. The general flag, humble duty, can't be kept. β
Chen Mu glared at Fu Yuan fiercely, and before he could say anything, Shao Tingda had already shouted loudly: "Brother Mu, it's ready!" β
The axe smashed a hole in the wooden cart that could be stuffed into the bowl cannon, and the cannon was stuffed with large boulder shells and small pebbles, and the gunpowder twist was exposed behind the cart. Shao Tingda pushed the wooden cart and looked over, his eyes wide open with anger and sweating profusely.
"Rush in......" Chen Mu took out his knife and looked left and right, raised his knife and roared forward: "Rescue Deng Zilong, let's talk about other things!" β
Forty or fifty banner soldiers bravely guarded the two wings of the artillery carriage, and rushed straight towards the place where Deng Zilong and the enemy were fighting with Chen Mu's order. No one dared to stand in front of the gun truck, let alone stand behind the gun truck, and I was afraid that the car would be shaken apart by the recoil when the wooden frame car was fired.
Chen Mu had no choice, he couldn't do anything except rush in and pull Deng Zilong out, there were more and more routs, his banner army couldn't stop it, and Deng Zilong was trapped in the enemy and couldn't retreat if he wanted to.
There were only more than 100 battalions left around Deng Zilong, and there were rebels rushing to rush in all directions, and he couldn't see how many enemy troops there were. One by one, his subordinates fell in front of him, and his hand holding the knife had collapsed, and several wounds had been added to his body.
He had fought against the vicious Japanese pirates, and he had also suppressed rebels in various places, but the hurdle of Xinjiang Bridge may not be able to pass.
In the face of a huge rebel army to fight to the death, even the most tenacious generals can only be powerless.
"Kill the general, reinforcements in!"
Suddenly hearing this, Deng Zilong retreated two steps back, and the battalion soldiers under his command filled the position, and when he turned his head, he saw Chen Muyang slashing over the rebels blocking the road, shouting loudly in front of the fast-advancing car to let the battalion soldiers along the way give way, and the flag army escort car crashed all the way into the formation.
"Deng will always give way, light the fire!"
The artillery carriage passed through the dense army formation in a blink of an eye, and Shao Tingda raised his fire to ignite the artillery, avoiding the distance left and right, leaving the muzzles of the cannons stuffed with pebbles aimed at the charging rebels.
Bang!
Rumble! Boom!
Huge smoke came out of the muzzle, and the large stone projectiles were pushed into pebbles and sprayed almost in front of the rebels' faces, and the first few rebels were directly beaten into a sieve, and the recoil of the artillery unexpectedly blasted through the wooden cart, shaking the sky full of sawdust.
But there was more than one sound of artillery, as if it echoed in the mountains, deafening.
In the air behind him, a large number of flying stones dragged out a terrifying scream and landed in the rebel formations everywhere, as if they were destroyed.
"All of you are united, the mountains are ...... Shocking! β
The military music was loud in the sound of the earth-shattering cannon in the rear, Chen Mu turned back from the chaotic army formation when he heard this roar, the gunpowder smoke gradually dispersed on several mountainsides, and there were helmets and armor generals at the foot of the mountain who immediately waved their swords, and countless Ming troops attacked the enemy formation from various long formations, invincible.
Reinforcements have arrived!
