Chapter 485: Wind Forest Volcano (First Update)
"No, we can't wait any longer, the order will go down, and it will be opened immediately, and this king will go out of the city to pick them up!" Liu Hong gradually ordered several generals in the house.
Nima, don't bring this, Lao Tzu hurried and ran all the way over, Zhu Changrun, you are so close and let Lao Tzu wait for you, this is too unusual.
There are still a lot of things in the capital, Yang Xue will give birth in a few days, where will he have time to accompany this group of nobles in the south.
"Mr. Zhong, you are still stationed in Luzhou, and this king can bring the Beijing battalion soldiers by himself." Seeing Zhong Xinbao's face embarrassed, knowing what this guy was thinking, Liu Hong gradually said.
"Obey orders, and you can squeeze out a cavalry of 3,000 people for the prince to send." makes people see through their minds, and Zhong Xinbao is also a little embarrassed.
But the Luzhou Mansion where he was ordered to garrison only had more than 20,000 soldiers, and they were all recruits who had never fought before, and the defense was a little stretched, and there were still more soldiers to be sent out.
Originally, he wanted to persuade Liu Hongjian to wait a few more days, after all, the rebel army was huge and there were 120,000 people, but after seeing the power of the firearms of the Jingying grenadiers, Zhong Xinbao honestly closed his mouth.
Half an hour later, more than 30,000 troops marched south out of Luzhou City, and in just over a day, they crossed Xiangshui and reached the boundary of Chuzhou.
Chuzhou is adjacent to Yingtianfu in the south, and the southernmost point is across the Yangtze River from Yingtianfu Nanjing.
"My lord, I have found the traces of the rebellious Zhu Changrun Army." Chang Yu came on horseback in armor to report.
"Oh? Where? After waiting for so much time, Liu Hongjian had no waves in his heart at this time.
"The rebel army is near the Wuli Bridge in Chuzhou, there are a lot of people, and it seems to be repairing." Chang Yu didn't have a trace of nervousness on his face.
I don't blame him, just now he couldn't help but scout around with the guards of a small banner, and when he arrived at the Wuli Bridge, he saw the rebel army, and the entire 100,000 army camp was pulled out for several miles, which frightened Lao Chang.
After all, he had followed Liu Hong's southern expedition to the north and fought the Tartars, Chang Yu stabilized his mind and took a few of his subordinates to touch forward, wanting to further explore the truth and reality.
But who knew that Du Te was about to touch the camp, and the rebels had no one to bird him.
Finally, when they were only fifty paces away from the rebel camp, they were finally spotted when the rebels came out to relieve them.
The frightened man tried to run away, but who knew that the rebels did not shout or shout, and even waved at them while firing a stream of water.
But Lao Chang was angry, this Nima was naked provocation and contempt, but then the fool shook his head and returned to the camp after peeing, and Lao Chang learned that people didn't mean that at all.
Oh no, it's not that awareness, to put it bluntly, ignorance.
Come to think of it, the guards have not fought for hundreds of years, and they are farming for the nobles all day long, and a group of peasants have any military common sense, so maybe they still think that they are friendly troops from all over the country.
"Trimming the whole yarn in broad daylight? I'm afraid this guy isn't a joke invited by a monkey! Liu Hong gradually looked suspicious, it was just past noon, why don't you go to the march to fight Lao Tzu, you trim your sister, it's really ridiculous!
"My lord, maybe...... We still overestimate that Zhu Changrun, this guy is here to play. Chang Yu remembered what happened just now and felt funny.
"The proud soldiers will be defeated, don't take it lightly, give the order, the three thousand battalions will be supported by two wings, and the musket battalion will be in the middle, keep the formation, and march towards the Wuli Bridge." Liu Hongjian had lost his temper with Zhu Changrun at this time.
β¦β¦
Rebel army battalion.
"Dingguo Gong, two days out of this Chuzhou border, but you will enter the boundary of Zhong Xinbao, can you have the confidence to break through that Luzhou City?" Zhu Changrun said.
Zhu Changrun has nothing to do except give birth to a baby, but fortunately, the elder Xu Jiaenyin of Dingguo has come to this generation, and he also bears the official position of Nanjing garrison.
Compared with other nobles, Xu Yunzhen knew how to count soldiers, so Zhu Changrun made him the commander and promised to give him a knighthood after the matter was completed.
What kind of title is the prince of the country, Xu Yunzhen is happy when he thinks about it, his ancestors have not been able to reach it during his lifetime, it is a supreme glory!
There are all kinds of Nanmu furniture in the big tent, and there are several plates of delicious dishes on the table, which are steaming fragrantly, and Xu Yunjue and other senior lords are sitting on the left and right sides of Zhu Changrun.
"Lord Wang, what is the need to worry about the small city of Luzhou, just wait for your order, 100,000 righteous troops will rush up, and take care of that Zhong Xinbao to frighten the fart." Xu Yunzhen poured himself a glass of wine, puffed and took a sip.
"It's just the prince, we have to speed up, otherwise if we wait for the emperor to react and summon the border army to enter the king of Guanqin, we won't be able to deal with it." Xu Yunzhen said again.
Originally, their plan was to lead the army north with lightning speed, persuade other nobles to join them along the way, and when they reached the capital, they would confront the 100,000 Beijing battalion soldiers.
There are 100,000 in Beijing, and they also have 100,000, and they are still increasing, and the worst result is to force Chongzhen to compromise, and their strategy is so big that they don't take the small Luzhou in their eyes at all.
"Well, there is a Dingguo Gong in this king, rest assured, it's just that it's too hot this day, and this king can't stand it." Zhu Changrun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart that this year's autumn tiger is really powerful.
"Report! Lord Wang, soldier ...... There are soldiers...... A lot of soldiers ...... "A soldier who looks like a thousand-household official stumbled into the big tent."
"Presumptuous! What kind of system is panicked? Zhu Changrun became angry when he saw the appearance of this general.
"It's the Beijing battalion soldiers, at least tens of thousands, less than five miles away from our army!" The thousand households were scolded and replied honestly.
"Can you see who is leading the troops?" Xu Yunzhen saw that Zhu Changrun was stunned, and then asked.
"I didn't ...... Didn't see ......."
β¦β¦
"Pass my military order, grenadiers and musketeers dismount and line up!" Liu Hong, dressed in bright silver armor, stared at the rebellious military road two miles away in the distance.
The bright silver armor on his body was made by Song Yingxing and the blacksmith of the ordnance institute for three months, and the armor leaves are made of stainless steel, which has a lot of toughness compared with traditional armor, and the key is that it is also lighter.
Hulaβ10,000 musketeers quickly dismounted and formed three phalanxes, and the grenadiers were divided into three divisions, each in front of the musketeers, and 3,000 battalions of cavalry guarding the two flanks.
Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that it is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as aggressive as fire, and as immobile as a mountain.
Under the bright sun, more than 30,000 Beijing soldiers who had experienced the baptism of the Northern Expedition stared at the rebel army who were getting closer and closer, interpreting what a wind forest volcano is.
The rebel army in the distance came from far and near, and tens of thousands of guards took the lead, screaming and rushing towards the Beijing battalion soldiers.
"My lord, the thief army is eighty paces away from our army...... Fifty steps...... Forty steps! "A sentry stood on a high ground and shouted the enemy's situation.
"Grenadier prepare! Grenade double throw! β
