Chapter 169: The Five Armies Rush to Capture the Emperor Together
"This thing is good, this thing is good!"
After listening to what Liu Xing said, Yue Fei immediately stroked his palm and walked to a grenadier canister, and said with a smile: "As long as you use these things to throw the scattered power bullets over, you are not afraid that the demon masters in those golden dogs will not be able to disperse their skills, and the fish and meat on the displacement chopping board will be killed by our brothers." ”
"It's a good thing, but it's a pity that our army doesn't have so many qualified materials, and I only built fifty planes." Seeing that Yang Yizhong and Yue Fei were all full of surprise, Liu Xing poured a basin of cold water on his head.
After cooling the two of them, Liu Xing continued: "Because we don't have a lot of grenadiers, I can only use them intensively. My idea is to directly assemble it to the Guards Battalion, after all, in addition to teaching the 200 crossbowmen of the Martial Arts Battalion to be good at long-range shooting, only the ladies of the Guards Battalion can quickly master the operation skills of this thing, so as to achieve the bombardment of the golden dog. ”
"Marshal, don't you give priority to those ladies in all good things, okay?"
Liu Xing's voice fell, and suddenly a voice came from the side.
Looking back, Liu Xing saw Wan Yafei and Bi Jin walking over with black faces.
Before the two of them could stand on their heels, Wan Yafei immediately said again: "The brothers I taught the crossbow department of the martial arts camp are much more proficient in archery and combat techniques than those ladies in the guard battalion. Marshal, don't you always give your newly figured out good things, always give the ladies first? If you continue like this for a long time, won't you chill the hearts of all the men in the whole army! ”
Listen to what he says. Liu Xing knew in his heart that this was Wan Yafei, who seemed to be expressing dissatisfaction, but was actually giving himself a hint: there were far more male soldiers than female soldiers in the Red Turban Army, and many male soldiers were already dissatisfied with the female soldiers who joined the army and formed a battalion.
In the past, as soon as the pot-bellied gun and the new type of ground fire mine were developed, they were all given priority to be sent to the guard battalion for trial and installation. It made the men in the whole army secretly complain a lot.
At this time, Wan Yafei said this, and Liu Xing could fully believe that he must have heard more from those men about his approach of focusing on the strong guard camp, which caused some disturbing objections......
Knowing what he meant, Liu Xing immediately smiled lightly: "But I only have fifty grenadiers, but you have two hundred crossbowmen and scientific soldiers there." I'm going to give you a martial arts camp, and you two don't have to fight for things first! ”
"I don't rob!"
Liu Xing's voice fell, and after Bi Jin stood still, he said with a straight face: "As long as the marshal is willing to give this thing to the martial arts camp." Whether it's for Brother Wan's first battalion or my second battalion, I have no opinion. I just don't want you to continue to care about those ladies in any good things. It would be good to make the men of our army feel left out and despised. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, it undoubtedly confirmed Liu Xing's guess in his heart: it turned out that those men always gave priority to the female soldiers of the Guards Battalion when they saw that a new weapon was developed, making them feel that they were partial and did not pay attention to them......
Now that he knew the true inside story of the matter, Liu Xing smiled faintly and said, "Okay." Then this grenadier will be equipped with the first battalion of the martial arts. But Wan Yafei, you have to select for me fifty brothers who can handle the grenadiers well and can form a large covering bombardment of the enemy when I need to. Otherwise, if you miss the big thing of Ben Shuai, I will not only take back these treasures, but also ask you for your sin. ”
"Marshal, rest assured." Wan Yafei was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then asked: "I don't know how many explosive bombs you still have in your treasure box, Marshal, can you give me more battalions, so that I can organize my brothers to go to live ammunition drills!" ”
"Your grandfather's!" As soon as he heard Wan Yafei's words, Liu Xing suddenly scolded him with a dark face: "You kid stayed with one hundred and fifty people during the day, and actually threw away all the seven hundred and fifty flame bombs that were routinely equipped for me, and now that the master has given you a new weapon, you still have to take the opportunity to ask the master for more flame bombs, right?" ”
was scolded to the head, Wan Yafei was not shocked or angry, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you also know the marshal." Of the 150 people I brought with me, 100 were students of the Jianruike Branch. They don't shoot the enemy as accurately as the students of other disciplines with their potbelly guns, but everyone is extremely strong. I couldn't help it, so I asked them to use the flame bomb as a fire bullet. Go to the Golden Dog's. ”
Using flame bombs as bullets to hit the enemy, Liu Xing believes that on the battlefield after a thousand years, any general who dares to act like this will be scolded by the commanders for being a "loser", and then clean it up.
But the situation at this time is that, as Wan Yafei said, one hundred of the soldiers he personally took during the day were Jianrui soldiers, who were good at climbing walls and erecting ladders. Melee combat and wrestling. The Jianrui soldiers practice shooting, and since the beginning of the Jiaowutang, they have always been ranked at the bottom of each subject.
Count on the Jianrui soldiers to kill the enemy with the advantage of firearms. It's definitely about how high the expectations are and how big the disappointments are bound to be. The best way is really to let them rely on their strength to throw the flame bomb forty or fifty paces, or even farther away, to blow up the golden soldiers.
Knowing that these are a kind of helpless inside the Red Turban Army, Liu Xing did not dwell with Wan Yafei more about the topic of the overuse of the flame bomb after he finished speaking. On the contrary, Liu Xing pulled out more than a dozen boxes from the Vientiane box and put them in front of Wan Yafei.
Pointing to the box in front of him, Liu Xing said to Wan Yafei: "One hundred and fifty people, seven hundred and fifty conventional ammunition." The other 1,500 flame bombs, you can find a way to get rid of them yourself. But let me tell you, you are only allowed to use 500 of these 1,500 flame bombs for drills. The remaining 1,000, you must use it for me on the battlefield. Otherwise, be careful with your ass blooming. ”
His eyes were firmly fixed on the wooden boxes containing the explosive bombs, Wan Yafei nodded, and said with a smile: "Marshal, don't worry, don't worry." I will not waste it this time, and I promise to use a grenadier to throw a thousand fire bombs at the golden dogs 200 paces away, and blow them up so that even their parents don't recognize them. ”
Completely ignoring Wan Yafei, Liu Xing put his hand into the Vientiane box again as he spoke.
Boxes of firecracker bullets, gunpowder, and flame bombs were taken out of the Vientiane box by Liu Xing and placed in front of Yang Yizhong, Yue Fei and Bi Jin.
Unstable, Chong Yanling looked at the munitions in that place and pouted first: "How much ammunition did you bring in total?" In today's battle, the female generals of our guard battalion have used up almost all their ammunition in order to complete your ambush plan, so don't come to us without replenishment. ”
Although she didn't speak, when Yan Ling said these words, Liu Xing saw the same worry as her from the faces of Yang Ling'er and Lei Zhen.
Without further ado, Liu Xing moved his hands again. Only a moment later, dozens of boxes of ammunition were dragged out of the Vientiane box by Liu Xing and thrown in front of the three of them.
"Enough, right?" It wasn't until he took out enough ammunition to supplement all the soldiers that Liu Xing looked up at Chong Yanling and said, "The ammunition that the master brought this time is enough for our army to kill the 150,000 golden dogs." It's a pity that the magic weapon of the real person and the dignified immortal of Bai Hu was turned into a carrier for transporting ammunition by the master like this, alas......"
……
Liu Xing distributed weapons, so that the area around Shiyi Town seemed to return to tranquility as night fell.
But a hundred miles away, Zhang Xianzheng led 5,000 soldiers to storm the 2,000 gold soldiers who stayed in Jizhou. On the other hand, Han Shizhong also led 3,000 elite soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the eastern gateway of Zhending Mansion and the county seat of Manuscript City only two hours after capturing Gaoyi City.
At the same time, Zong Ze personally led an army of 50,000 people, and went on a rampage all the way, killing in front of the south gate of Zhending Mansion and the county seat of Yuanshi.
Zong Ze's army barely rested, and as soon as it arrived at the city, it immediately launched a siege battle, directly beating the three thousand gold soldiers in the city to abandon the city and flee to Luancheng......
In the city of Pingding at the western foot of Taihang Mountain, Liu Qi, the envoy of Jingyuan Road, was sitting with a lamp, discussing with his four brothers Liu Jun, Liu Zhao, Liu Xi and three other generals the battle plan to cross Taihang and march to Hebei to rescue the second emperor.
When Liu Xing began to gather troops and horses on the eastern side of Taihang Mountain, he began to prepare for the midnight attack on the camp. Liu Qi, his generals and brothers finally finalized the plan.
The hour had just passed, and the east gate of Pingding City suddenly opened. Liu Qi took 5,000 Jingyuan troops and the Song army that had been collected and scattered along the way, and after a whirlwind blew at the east gate, he quickly ran up Taihang Mountain and drove at full speed in the direction of Zhuolu.
Liu Qi led his troops before leaving, and Lou Room sent troops to counterattack the Red Turban Army, which was constantly attacking from the left and right flanks and the rear of its army, fighting guerrilla warfare. On the one hand, he personally led 8,000 men and horses to kill in front of the empty city of Pingding, where not even a single person remained.
Lou Mur, who wanted to use the defeat of the Jingyuan army to bring a blood to the shame of being severely injured by Liu Xing the previous time, did not expect that the soldiers and horses led by Liu Qi would also be able to come and go like the wind like the Red Turban Army, leaving him alone to look up to the sky and roar in shame when he walked into the empty Pingding City......
War will always be variable, and it will never be fully controlled by one person, unless that person has a unique talent and may be able to really influence the situation of war.
Obviously, Lou Room is not the one who can influence the tide of battle. After he howled, all that remained was to lead the troops to occupy Pingding City, and then sent a helpless and weak military message to the direction of Xinzhou, showing the fact that he failed to catch the trace of the troops led by Liu Qi.
But he failed to catch Liu Qi, who was fighting with him, after crossing the Taihang Mountain this time, it was destined to tilt the balance of the battle for the emperor in Shiyi Town in favor of Liu Xing and the Han people again, and it was destined to increase the pressure on the army of the two emperors led by Zong Wang and Zong Han himself.
