Chapter 63: Xiangyang and Nanjing IV
Chapter 63: Xiangyang and Nanjing IV
Luo Dai gained a lot in this battle, and the war horses that fell into his hands have been ridden by thousands. But no one disliked his many achievements, so when he saw that Ma Sanbao had caught a lot, he immediately ordered them to be assigned swords and soldiers, and under the supervision of Sanbao, they attacked this formation.
Speaking of onslaught, in fact, there are some over.
After all, these soldiers are soldiers after the defeat, and it can be said that they have no courage at all, and where they have the intention of attacking, they are just cannon fodder.
Involuntarily, he crashed into the car formation.
Zu Kefa is not soft, arrows rain down, and fire is repeated. For a moment it felt like a massacre.
Luo Dai was not too surprised by this situation, he called Ma Sanbao to his side and said, "Immediately, at this time, launch a rocket." ”
When Ma Sanbao heard this, he admired Luo Dai's calculation for a while.
Although these defeated soldiers were very miserable, they attracted the attention of the Qing army after all. At this time, a burst of rockets shot over, and they probably didn't have the heart to deal with it, the vehicles used in the car formation were not real chariots, or partial vans, but ordinary people's daily peace cars, on which there were just some grains stacked on them.
Rockets shoot over, if they can ignite the food. It's enough to mess with the formation of the Qing army, and maybe there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Ma Sanbao immediately went down to execute, he called a lot of people who were good at shooting, turned over and dismounted, drew a bow, lit the arrow, and then shot into the sky, using the method of projectile, this method to shoot the farthest.
But I saw that each of the long arrows had been stained with grease and then lit cloth. The long arrow rose up with the head of the fire, and was pressed by the wind, and then dimmed, as if it had been extinguished, and when it flew to the highest point, it fell to the ground.
Or the sound of "grabbing" was nailed to the Taiping car, or it fell on the person, this person, there are Qing troops, and the former Qing army that was driven to attack, anyway, Luo Dai doesn't treat them as natural people, so naturally he doesn't care. Of course, the ultimate goal was achieved. There are also quite a few that fall on the grain.
As the rocket hit the target, some of the cloth heads were also extinguished, but nearly half of the cloth heads were not extinguished.
However, even if it is not extinguished, it does not mean that it can ignite the food.
Many of them were extinguished as the cloth was burned, and only a few of them fulfilled their mission.
Ma Sanbao didn't shoot the striking wheel arrow, but it was enough.
Because black smoke came out one after another, many Qing troops were rushing to extinguish the fire. It's just that the fire and water are spreading relentlessly too fast.
After a while, a lot of fire became bigger, and pillars of smoke seemed to be drawn to the sky with a thick brush. And there are quite a lot of paintings one by one.
Even more, Zukova had to retreat a little, distancing himself from these places that had become a sea of fire.
Seeing this, Zu Zerun jumped to his feet in a hurry, but he was helpless.
He had two worries, one was that he was worried that without this barrier, he would not be able to resist the Xia army, and the other was that as a grain officer, the grain he transported was burned, and he couldn't escape the relationship no matter what. I'm afraid it's hard to explain.
He pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Someone will set these on fire." ”
Zu Kefa was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Eldest son, why is this so? What should I do if the above blames it? ”
"Blame it, blame it." Zu Zerun said: "We must also save our lives until that time, otherwise it will be." ”
"You see the smoke blocking your vision so much, if the Xia army attacks with the smoke, it will be a bad situation. Since I can't see clearly, I want a wall of fire in front of me. ”
"Yes." Zukefa said.
In fact, the ignition point is not too uniform, and although the smoke is billowing now, the real fire has not emerged. If someone covers their nose with a wet towel, they can still rush in. Since the grain can no longer be transported, for Zu Zerun, it is not an important issue to transport more and less less.
When the fire burned, I don't know how many stones and grains formed a flame defense line, and for a while the Xia army didn't dare to attack, even so, Zu Kefa didn't quite understand a little, and said: "Princess, wait a while to burn out, what should we do?" ”
Zu Zerun simply said: "I don't believe such a big movement, and the Eight Banners can't see any of them." ”
There is such a big movement here, and you can see the movement dozens of miles away. The response of the various departments of the Eight Banners will not be too slow.
"And if it really didn't arrive? What to do? Zukaffa continued.
Zu Zerun glanced at Zu Kefa coldly and said, "It's just death." ”
The Qing court's attitude towards employing people today is very obvious. It is to reuse the old team before entering the customs, or rather, it is the Liao people. Now Zu Zerun not only represents himself, but also has a whole family behind him. If he only had the food destroyed, this thing would have worked well, but there was no way to retreat when he was dragging his way out.
Since you can't retreat, you can only fight to the death.
Fortunately, the Xia army sent soldiers, and in the face of such flames, Luo Dai did not attack**, and this encounter had a feeling of unexpectedness. Luo Dai's original intention was to attack Nanyang, even if he couldn't capture Nanyang, he would harass the back road.
The two sides are bumping into each other.
And as Zu Zerun speculated, such a big movement, the Nanyang defenders immediately knew.
In the face of such a situation, ordinary armies may be guarding the city and waiting to figure out what to do, after all, they guard the baggage, and the position is quite important. But the Qing army would not.
Under the successive victories of the Qing army, there was already a sense of arrogance. I don't care about this at all, and when I see something happening, I attack without saying a word.
The one who guarded Nanyang was Nikan, the general of the Qing court, and he was even more bold.
However, the arrogance of the Qing army also has the capital of arrogance.
Nikan was carrying the elite of the Eight Banners, and he rushed all the way, watching from a distance a pillar of smoke in the distance became clearer and clearer, and it seemed that there was also a smell of burning paste in the air. This smell of burning grain is also familiar to Nikan.
During the reign of Huang Taiji, he also followed many times to enter the customs and burn the grain of the Han people, which was the taste.
But at the moment, he was in a very bad mood, and the closer he was, the more so. He immediately gave the order and said, "Let the people below, be careful." Maybe the thieves haven't gone far. ”
God is pitiful, Nikan is just saying. But he never expected that he would be a proverb. As soon as his order was delivered, a rain of arrows and lead came from all around, as if it were a raging storm.
"Enemy attack." These two words were spoken in various languages in the Qing army.
And Luo Dai, who had already been prepared, once again took the lead in killing. With a shout, he said, "Kill." ”
Although the Xia army was waiting for work and preparing for a long time, he was caught off guard by Nikan as soon as he came up, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Eight Banners was not reduced at all, and he adjusted his state almost in an instant and fought with the Xia army.
Luo Dai's sudden attack was certainly a little cheap, but he found that he didn't stand much cheaper.
After all, it is impossible for Luo Dai to ambush too close, there is no such terrain in this vicinity. After all, this is still in the Nanyang Basin, near the official road, and the terrain is still quite flat. A little farther away gave the Qing army time to form a team.
"King Jun, you go quickly." Nikan said, pulling Nikan's reins.
Nikan said angrily: "I have fought with Taizu Taizong, and I have always been a disciple of the Xinjue Luo family, and I have never avoided people. Fight for those who dare to retreat. ”
Nikan not only did not retreat, but drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed in the direction of Luo Dai, and said, "This person must be a thief, follow me to kill this person." ”
Nikan took the guards around him, joined the battlefield in an instant, or the main direction of Luo Dai's attack, seeing Nikan like this, the Qing army was in a great spirit, and they fought bravely one by one, and there was a feeling of saving the situation. It made Luo Dai very difficult.
However, the more he struggled, the more angry Luo Dai became.
He seems to have forgotten who he is and has always been active at the forefront. The knife is bloody, and the gun is deadly, just like an ordinary pawn.
The commanders of both sides have joined the battlefield, making this ambush battle extremely fierce from the beginning.
