Chapter 248: Cen Family Toast

"Little General! Little General! Xuan Yi hurriedly ran back to the camp of the Chinese army and knelt down on one knee in front of Yan Chengren, "The hateful barbarian refused to accept Wang Hua, not only refused to help the imperial court, but instead resisted stubbornly and killed the officers and soldiers of the Wang Division!" Please also ask the junior general to allocate artillery to the last general! ā€

"Did you attack the Cen family's village just now?" Lian Chengren asked coldly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Back to the little general, the barbarian refused to send troops, and the last general had no choice but to send troops to attack." Xuanyi replied.

"How many men have been lost?" Lian Chengren's face became a little ugly.

Xuan Yi hesitated, the corners of his mouth squirmed, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words: "Back to the little general, the last general is not talented, failed to conquer the cottage, and lost more than 100 people." ā€

Lian Chengren was furious, and a slap was slapped on Xuanyi's face: "You useless dog minion! I can't even do that! asked you to go to a town with only 200 native soldiers to recruit soldiers, but you didn't even recruit a single soldier, and you lost more than 100 elite soldiers to Lao Tzu! You say, "What's the use of keeping you as a slave like you?" ā€

failed to recruit soldiers, but instead lost troops, this entry and exit, which made the eldest prince of the line heartbroken.

"Little General! Since the dog barbarians do not accept the king, they should be exterminated to show the prestige of the imperial court! Xuan Yi arched his hand.

Lian Chengren nodded: "Okay!" Deploy artillery to attack the stockade! The dog barbarian does not accept the king, we will make an example of a hundred! After destroying the Cen family, I see that other toasts still dare to confront our Wang Shi! ā€

In Guilin, the people from Maxiong Town came back to report that the Qing army sent to recruit troops had not recruited 200 native soldiers in a few days, but had many conflicts with the local Tusi, and the Qing army had lost more than 400 people. However, the Qing Dynasty Wang Shi taught the local soldiers a hard lesson, killed more than ten Tusi, and destroyed more than 3,000 local soldiers.

As soon as the lying on the sickbed heard such a battle report, he snorted from his nostrils. He was used to this kind of war report a few years ago, and every time the Qing army was defeated, he would report how many enemies were killed, but it did not achieve the expected goal. What killed more than a dozen Tusi and killed more than 3,000 native soldiers, such nonsense Guoan would not believe it. He is very clear about the combat effectiveness of the native soldiers in Guangxi, and he really destroyed more than 3,000 native soldiers, and it is estimated that the Qing army has lost more than 5,000!

"Incompetence! Even the native barbarians can't be used by me! Impotent! If it weren't for the old man lying sick in bed, would these native barbarians dare to fight against Wang Shi? He coughed suddenly, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Daddy!" Miss Line exclaimed.

The old man of the line Guoan burst into tears: "Daughter, my father has been loyal to the Kong family all my life, but I didn't expect to end up like this when I got old!" Four squares! You are so chilling the hearts of the Guangxi brothers! If it weren't for you deducting military salaries and suppressing the old man, why would you be in today's situation? ā€

"Daddy!" Miss Lian cried, "It was my father who saved her life. This Jian person is so unkind and unjust, why is my father still loyal to her? ā€

Lian Guoan sighed: "The old man is loyal to the old prince!" When the old man was in Liaodong, he followed Mao Shuai with the old prince, and after beating Houjin, the old prince treated us like a mountain! It's a pity that Mao Shuai was killed by Yuan Chonghuan! It chills my Golden State soldiers. Later, the old man followed the old prince to Dengzhou, and the brothers couldn't eat enough, because a brother stole a chicken, and the local gentry actually asked the brother to parade through the streets with arrows! The old prince was really angry, so he took his brothers to Houjin. So many years have passed, but the old man can't forget the great kindness of the old prince. ā€

At this time, another six-hundred-mile rush came from outside: "Nanning is lost, and the puppet Ming army is coming to Liuzhou City!" ā€

He was so angry that he screamed, vomited blood and fainted immediately.

"Daddy!" Miss Lian cried and hugged her father.

In the Cen family's village, the Cen family's native soldiers patrolled the wall, vigilantly watching the movement outside. Cen Shizhong sent his clan brother Cen Shipei with a few scouts to spy on the situation outside.

The Qing army wanted to transfer artillery to attack the village, but it was not so fast, in the mountainous area of western Guangxi, it was inconvenient to carry artillery, and it would take at least seven or eight days to wait for the next time the Qing army came. Cen Shizhong used this time to recruit new soldiers in the village, mobilize the people, and prepare to fight the Qing army to the end, and at the same time let people spy on the situation to see how the progress of the Ming Wang's division was.

Cen Shizhong had already made up his mind, as long as Li Dingguo's army returned to Guangxi, he would immediately lead people to defect!

At that time, Li Dingguo was defeated and retreated to Yungui, and it did not make these Tusi who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty cold, and the most chilling thing was that the Son of Heaven abandoned the country, hunted in the south of Yongli, and fled to Burma. These toasters were disheartened and had no choice but to declare their submission to the Qing court.

But now that the Ming army is about to fight back, these toasts naturally have to hold high the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and cooperate with the Ming army.

Cen Shipei came back with the scouts, entered the village, and reported to Cen Shizhong: "Big brother, my Ming Wangshi has already broken through Nanning, and Liuzhou will be broken in a few days!" The leader of the army is General Bai Wenxuan under the command of King Li Dashuai of Jin! ā€

"Good! That's great! Cen Shizhong was overjoyed, "As I expected, it was Wang Shi who came back!" Now hurry up and contact the Cen brothers in other villages, and everyone will raise the banner of righteousness and prepare to welcome the Ming Wangshi! ā€

At this moment, another scout from outside came to report: "The eldest master, the second master, the Tartars are carrying artillery from the Chinese army camp and are coming to our stockade!" It is estimated that in three days, the Tartars will be able to transport the cannons! ā€

Although the Guangxi native soldiers are powerful, after all, there are only infantry, no cavalry, and no artillery. Once the Qing army bombarded it with artillery, how could it resist it with an earthen city and wooden wall. As long as the Qing army shelled the Tucheng Wooden Wall, the Tucheng soldiers would suffer heavy losses.

Cen Shipei proposed: "Big brother, if the Tartars come with cannons, I'm afraid we will be difficult to resist!" It's better to give up the cottage and hide in the mountains for the time being, and when the Ming Wangshi arrives, the Tartars will naturally retreat! ā€

Who knew that Cen Shizhong shook his head and objected: "Don't abandon the village!" Our Cen family's foundation for more than 200 years is here! There are also women and children in the village, old and weak, if they abandon the village and hide in the mountains, how far can they go? In a certain opinion, it is better to contact the Cen family members of other cottages to jointly defend against the enemy! We can take the initiative and intercept the full dog artillery team halfway! This will not only defeat the full dogs, but also capture the full dog cannons! ā€

"Good!" Cen Shipei arched his hand, "Little brother, let's contact them!" ā€

The Cen family used to be the big Tusi of Guangxi, because the descendants of the later generations were separated, so now the clansmen are scattered in more than a dozen villages within a radius of hundreds of miles. But if there is one person who commands in a unified manner, unites all the clansmen of the Cen family, and can gather three thousand wolf soldiers, it is not a small anti-Qing force.

After Cen Shipei wandered around, the other Cen families around him gathered in Cen Shizhong's small cottage.

"It's too much of a dog! Do you want us to give them their lives? Dream! A little toast of the Cen family said.

"Now that the king has invaded Guangxi, we must raise the banner of righteousness again to welcome the king!" Cen Shizhong said.

One of the clansmen said: "The Tartars also went to us a few days ago to recruit soldiers, and they were also beaten back by us!" They are recruiting troops everywhere, and it must be no longer good! I heard that Lian Guoan is seriously ill, as long as he can't sit in command, he will rely on Guangxi Mangou, not to mention whether he can beat Wang Shi, we can all destroy them! ā€

After discussion, the wolf soldiers of more than a dozen cottages of the Cen family all held high the banner of righteousness and rebelled, announcing the opposition to the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

More than 3,000 wolf soldiers were originally a very strong army, and in addition, the Cen family Tusi expanded its strength from its own stockade, recruiting more than 2,000 young and strong people to join the local soldiers, making the Cen family's strength reach more than 5,000 people.

Originally, the wolf soldiers were scattered in various houses, and did not form a clenched fist. Now that the wolf soldiers are concentrated, there is not only a unified command, but also a special division of labor, some are responsible for spying on intelligence, some are responsible for logistics and supply, and some are responsible for checking the terrain and selecting ambush sites.

Just when the Cen family raised the banner of uprising, Xuanyi took more than 800 Qing troops, more than 600 auxiliary soldiers, and carried two general cannons, rushed through the mountains and rushed straight to Cen Shizhong's cottage.

The Qing army didn't know that the Cen family had raised the flag to rebel, and thought that the thieves were all defeated when the king had arrived, so they didn't send scouts to explore the road in front at all, so they swaggered along the mountain road. These Qing troops didn't know that the Cen family had already formed 3,000 soldiers and 2,000 auxiliaries, and they had laid an ambush halfway, waiting for them to come and drill their pockets.

In Guangxi in May, the weather is already very hot.

The Qing army walked on the mountain road, and all the soldiers did not wear armor, and the weather was too hot, who would walk in heavy armor?

"This damn weather, it's hot to death!" Mr. Lu Qian reined in his horse, took off the official hat on his head, and fanned it a few times.

Xuan Yi snorted coldly: "When Lord Chongzhen was in the past, it was still snowing in Guangxi!" Every year, the grain harvest is poor, and how many people starve to death? If it was so hot back then, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know how happy he would be! Now it is my great Qing Dynasty, after winning the world, the weather will become hotter, and the grain harvest will be more! ā€

"Yes, yes!" Mr. Lu Qian nodded again and again, "It's just that these hateful barbarians don't accept the king, and they actually act against the sky and resist my Qing Dynasty king!" These toast barbarians, if you kill them all, you will be much cleaner! ā€

The Qing army marched slowly along the mountain road, and before entering a valley with dangerous terrain, Xuanyi raised his head, looked at the valley path in front of him, which could only accommodate one person and one horse, and suddenly shouted: "Stop advancing!" ā€

"Your Excellency, why did you stop moving?" A pro-soldier asked.

Xuan Yi pointed to the dangerous valley terrain and said, "Such terrain is a dead land!" If there are thieves ambushing here, our army will inevitably be in a dilemma when it enters the valley, and once it is ambushed by the thieves, it will inevitably be wiped out! ā€

The Qing army sent several scouts to enter the valley first, and then climbed the mountains on both sides to search for any ambushes.

About an hour later, the scouts sent back the flag: "The road ahead is safe, there are no thieves in ambush!" ā€

"Let's go, it's okay!" Xuanyi jumped on the horse.

The soldiers in front of the Qing army passed through the valley first, and the auxiliaries behind were panting and pushing the general's cannon across the valley.

Lu Qian, who was riding a horse, said: "The general is too cautious! The native soldiers and barbarians here are a rabble, although they are personally brave, but they are few, lack firearms, and have no scouts, how can they compete with the kings of the court? As long as Wang Shi arrives at the cottage, a cannon bombardment will inevitably collapse! ā€

Xuan Yi shook his head: "Be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship!" With such terrain, it's better to be careful! ā€

The fact that the Cen wolf soldiers did not set up an ambush on the most dangerous terrain does not mean that they did not set up an ambush, but considering that if they set up an ambush on the most dangerous terrain, the Qing army would definitely pay attention. So they placed the ambush in an open field after the valley had passed. When the Qing army enters the ambush circle, more than 2,000 wolf soldiers will be killed. In addition, 500 wolf soldiers were ambushed nearby, and when the Qing army passed through the valley, they drilled out of the mountains and forests, taking advantage of the dangerous terrain here to cut off the Qing army's retreat.

"The Tartars are coming!" Cen Shipei, who was lying in ambush on a hill, said to the soldiers around him.

The ambush site is not the most dangerous valley, but a relatively gentle hilly valley, which can not only paralyze the Qing army, but also not affect the performance of the wolf soldiers. Originally, they were a very strong army, and they could fight on flat ground. What's more, the Qing army was on the march and had no armor on its body.

Seeing that the Qing army was getting closer and closer, Cen Shizhong held his breath.

The wolf soldiers who were lying in ambush in the hills and grass all shouted their mouths so as not to make a sound.

"Two hundred steps to go! Get ready! Cen Shizhong gave the order softly.

Several pro-soldiers ran back and forth with their waists on their backs, conveying orders to the various departments.

"A hundred paces away, kill!" Cen Shizhong stood up suddenly, pulled out the Miao knife and pointed forward.

The banner on the hill waved, and the wolf soldiers spit out their titles, brandished hook and sickle guns, broadswords and wooden cards, and held crossbow arrows in their hands, and rushed down from the hills with a shout and charged the Qing army.

Charge quickly, there is no need to form a formation, the Qing army itself that was suddenly attacked did not have time to form a formation to resist, and they did not wear armor, and the wolf soldiers had not yet rushed to the front, the crossbowmen and archers had already shot a row of random arrows.

"Whoosh" overwhelming feather arrows pierced into the crowd of Qing soldiers, and Qing soldiers without any protection were hit by arrows one after another. These feather arrows smeared with arrow poison wood poison juice pierced into the crowd of Qing soldiers without armor protection, and the killing effect is not known how strong it is! With a scream, a group of Qing soldiers fell with arrows, and a row of reeds grew in the crowd.

The wolf archers opened their bows and arrows, and the second row of arrows shot out.

"Enemy attack!" The Qing army, which was suddenly attacked, was suddenly in chaos, and the poisonous arrows shot like flying locusts continued to take the lives of the Qing soldiers. The surviving Qing soldiers crowded behind, and some hurriedly picked up their shields to resist the arrows; Some people squeezed into the back of the cart and tried to protect themselves with the help of the vehicle.

"Kill all the dogs!" The wolf soldier knife player in front had already rushed into the crowd of Qing troops.

The combat effectiveness of these wolf soldiers is not lost to the mountain army formed by Wang Xinyu at all, and every wolf soldier is brave and forward, and he will not be afraid of the weapons beckoned by the Qing soldiers at all. At this time, the Qing army did not have time to form a formation, so they could only resist indiscriminately, and as a result, they were killed by wolf soldiers into their crowd, and a large area was cut down with a knife.

The hook and sickle soldiers in the back also killed, and the hook and sickle spears formed a formation, constantly swallowing, and stabbing down the Qing soldiers again and again. (To be continued.) )
