Chapter Eighty-Eight: Jade Shura
"It has long been rumored among the rebels in northern Jiangxi that the Dragon Guard led by His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou is a heavenly soldier and a god general, and it has broken into the high warehouse with more than 1,000 elite ambush soldiers, and tens of thousands of thieves have entered the realm of no one, beheading more than 10,000 people!" Deng Shan said with emotion, "Originally, the grass people still couldn't believe it, but today they can see the power of the army, and they know that what is spread is true." ”
Su Chengyu was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that it had only been more than 20 days, which had spread all the times, and the Long Wei Army had become more than 1,000 people, and the number of people who had entered the warehouse in Gao had doubled in an instant, and more than 10,000 people had been beheaded......
But he thought about it that most of the Ming army's combat strength was declining now, and the Ming Dynasty was not confident. Exaggerating the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Guard Army can enhance the confidence of the Northern Jiangxi Righteous Army, and at the same time can deter the Qing army, so he just listened with a smile and did not refute it.
Deng Shan continued excitedly: "The Qing army in Poyang City will go south from time to time to grab grain. In the past, several rebel armies in the south of Raozhou Prefecture fought with them many times, but they suffered many losses. And today, with only one face of the heroic division under His Highness, the thieves have collapsed! What a relief! ”
When he swore words, Fang was shocked that something was wrong, and he laughed twice, "Look at my stinky mouth, please forgive your highness." ”
"Deng Yishi is a bold person, and he is happy and outspoken." Su Chengyu shook his head with a smile and asked again, "I wonder how many Qing troops are still in Poyang City?" ”
"After the battle just now, there should be no more than 100 people left."
Su Chengyu was puzzled: "You just said that there are many righteous divisions in the south of Raozhou, but they will suffer at the hands of the seven or eight hundred enemy troops in Poyang City?" ”
Deng Shan glanced at the hilt of the knife with the crack in his waist, and his square face was a little red, "Our weapons are crude, the training time is short, and the thieves are well-armed and well-armed, so we almost lost our lives......"
Yu Xin interjected on the side: "Fighting a war pays attention to avoiding reality and making it virtual, you were in such a crisis just now, you should avoid its edge and regroup is the best policy, how can you blindly work hard?" ”
"No!" Deng Shan's forehead was beating, and he said loudly, "We are waiting to raise the banner of the righteous army to protect the hometown for the thief soldiers." If we retreat, Hujia Village and the Shipai Village behind it will definitely be robbed of their winter food, and hundreds of households in these two villages will have to starve to death. We can only fight to the death, and we will never retreat! ”
This Deng Shan is a person with courage and responsibility, Su Chengyu nodded slightly, compared to these righteous soldiers, many officials and soldiers who took the imperial court's salary but avoided the enemy and feared the war were simply ashamed to death, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of "official soldiers" who sold themselves to build captives and brutalized the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Volunteers like the Iron Mountain Battalion must be helped, and what they lack most at the moment should be weapons and ordnance. Su Chengyu immediately remembered the weapons he had obtained from Ke Yongsheng not long ago, so he instructed Shi Lin: "Take 300 of the captured Lu Mi Gong and Wolf Gun each and allocate them to the Tieshan Battalion." ”
"Yes!"
Boom?! Deng Shan's eyes widened, the Qing army in Poyang didn't have this kind of gun!
"Don't worry," Su Chengyu stopped Shi Lin and said, "There are also a thousand catties of Franc cannon and a No. 1 Franc cannon each." Two more artillerymen were transferred to instruct them in use. ”
"Yes!"
Cannon? Jack cannon?! Deng Shan felt like he was in a dream. He has seen the cannon, the two-foot-long tiger squat cannon, which is more powerful than the bird's gun. He really had never heard of this thousand-pound heavy cannon, and now the king of Chen Zhou wanted to give it to him!
"W-How does this work?" Deng Shan hurriedly stopped Shi Lin, "This kind of sharp weapon should only be effective in the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou, and the grass people are really ashamed!" ”
Shi Lin smiled and patted him on the arm that stopped him, "Since Your Highness has said it to you, you can accept it with peace of mind." Besides, Ke Yongsheng's iron lumps are sinking to death, and after you take them, you can reduce some of the burden on the Dragon Guard. ”
"Ke Yongsheng's ......" Deng Shan and a few people behind him were stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and said happily, "Your Highness has cleaned up Ke Yongsheng's old thief?" ”
Yu Xin continued: "Five days ago, including Ke Yongsheng, none of the more than 4,000 Qing soldiers in Guangxin Mansion ran away. ”
Deng Shan and the others glanced at each other, knelt down in unison, and said excitedly: "Since the early years of Longwu, Ke Thief has repeatedly led troops to attack my Northern Jiangxi Righteous Army. Six or seven out of ten of the rebels had their brothers and relatives killed at his hands. His Royal Highness, in addition to this thief, is really the great benefactor of the Northern Ganbei Righteous Army! ”
As soon as Su Chengyu helped them up, he heard the warning horn sounding in the army. Immediately a hussar came to report that a troop of men and horses was galloping on the west side.
Su Chengyu was about to give the order to meet the enemy, when someone came to report, saying that the person who came was the people of the righteous army Yu Shura.
Deng Shan hurriedly said: "Just now, the grass people were trapped by the thieves, and they sent people to ask Yu Shura for help. But before the reinforcements arrived, the thieves had been broken by His Highness. The grass people have forgotten about this verse. ”
Later, he said that this Jade Shura was a very famous one of the rebels in northern Jiangxi, and he was very righteous and helped when he met other rebels. Moreover, he has always been righteous and squandering money, and almost all the righteous troops in the three prefectures of northern Jiangxi have received his grain and grass, and the righteous army from all walks of life are extremely obedient to him.
"Oh?" Su Chengyu nodded with interest, "Then I will definitely meet this famous righteous man." ”
A slender man with a single knife in his waist and hip strangled the horse under his crotch and commanded the people who accompanied him: "Wait for me here." ”
The voice was sweet and crisp, and it turned out to be a woman.
She turned over and dismounted, and couldn't help but tremble slightly when she saw the dragon guard flag shining with the sun and moon on a blue background and the dark green military uniforms on the soldiers.
It's really the Dragon Guard! She walked forward with a sergeant, but her mind was full of the scene of the people of the city who were outside Jinxi City in Fuzhou that day to see off the Dragon Guard.
The invincible divine army with strict discipline and extraordinary momentum, lined up neatly, and every move exuded a fierce and confident temperament, which made her immediately feel that this was an army completely different from any Ming army before.
Later, she heard about the fact that the Long Wei army annihilated the Qing army several times times in an instant and captured the enemy's leader. The rumored battle was fought extremely cleanly and with a rainbow of momentum. Since then, she has heard the propaganda of the mission office about the battle of Fuzhou several times in Fuzhou, and soon, the Dragon Guard Army has become a god army high in her heart, and it is the most powerful hero of the Ming Dynasty!
As for the commander of this mighty division, the rumors she heard were only a few words, only saying that he was the king of Chenzhou and very young. But she knew that it must be a very extraordinary person.
Soon, you will be able to meet this mysterious man who leads the divine army.
The sergeant who was to lead the way made a "please" gesture, and she recognized at a glance that he must be the young man with a delicate face and an extraordinary bearing standing in the middle.
She immediately forgot the various etiquettes she had just envisioned, walked a few steps closer, stared at a pair of beautiful big eyes and blurted out: "You, you are His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou, right?" ”
