Chapter 4: A stab in the back
"General Quan, our artillery battalion has arrived!"
Just when Li Xiuxian was nervous, Yue Chongguang, the commander of the artillery battalion, walked over quickly and said to Liu Zongmin.
"Okay, fuck, give me concentrated artillery fire and bombard Antler Mountain, I don't believe that this spy can still dodge!"
Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth and shouted.
Soon, the artillery was ready, and Liu Zongmin gave an order, and the artillery rang out!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Shells whistled and flew towards Antler Mountain!
In the middle of the mountains and forests, Zhu Jie was resting on a tree, and when he heard the roar of artillery, he opened his eyes suddenly!
"Oh no, the damn intruder army actually mobilized artillery!"
Zhu Jie couldn't help but curse the generals of the peasant army, specially, just deal with Lao Tzu alone, as for pulling out the cannons? And there is more than one, just listening to the sound, there are at least ten cannons!
Zhu Jie didn't dare to slack off, jumped again and again, and ran to an open area, the mountains and forests affected the line of sight too much, in case he couldn't dodge and was hit by a cannonball, he was definitely dead!
Fortunately, the shells in this era are solid bullets, they can't explode, as long as they are not hit by the shells, there will be no personal safety, and when they come to the open area, the shells can be seen clearly, and they will be concealed in time.
However, it is not a good thing to always be beaten passively like this, you have to find a way to break out of the encirclement, and then slip away, alone, against tens of thousands of peasant troops, even if you are tired to death, it is impossible!
Zhu Jie cautiously dodged the attack of the shells, chose the direction of the peasant army, and began to escape.
Liu Zongmin sneered and looked at the mountains and forests, in just a quarter of an hour, nearly a hundred shells had been fired at the mountains and forests, the entire mountains and forests were filled with smoke and dust, and the periphery of the mountains and forests was full of peasant troops, and the guards were dead, this spy wanted to escape, it was impossible!
Just when Liu Zongmin was secretly proud in his heart, suddenly there was a faint sound of horses' hooves from the direction of the camp behind him.
Liu Zongmin frowned, quickly lay on the ground, and listened to the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, yes, it was the sound of horses' hooves, and it was a powerful cavalry, with thousands of troops!
Liu Zongmin was shocked, where did the cavalry come from at this time? Mo is not a surprise attack by the Ming army?
"Li Xiuxian, immediately send cavalry to check the situation of the camp, and there is a dense sound of horses' hooves in the promised direction, I don't know if someone wants to sneak attack our camp!"
Liu Zongmin shouted urgently.
Li Xiuxian's face changed, and he asked, "General Quan, it's impossible, right?" At this time, who dares to sneak attack our camp, our camp has concentrated tens of thousands of troops! ”
"What the are you talking nonsense, hurry up!"
The sound of horses' hooves is getting clearer and clearer, and someone is definitely going to attack the camp!
Now that he is no longer in the camp, the artillery battalion has also been transferred, once the Ming army really attacks the camp, it will be a big trouble!
Li Xiuxian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to at least go back to check the situation!
However, it was too late by this time.
Sun Chuanting's army was only more than 20 miles away from Liu Zongmin's army, and Gao Jie and Niu Chenghu's cavalry could hit the camp of the peasant army in less than half an hour, and it was a surprise attack, so the speed was even faster, and the distance of more than 20 miles did not give the battalion any time to react.
Even if the peasant army discovered the movement of the Ming army in advance, it was absolutely too late, the main general was not in the battalion, the artillery battalion was not in the battalion, and the unlucky peasant army ushered in the charge of the Ming cavalry when it was the weakest!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and want the general to report, the cavalry of the Ming army is raiding, brothers, release arrows, release arrows, stop the cavalry from advancing!"
The guards of the former army camp shouted urgently, hoping to stop the Ming army's attack this time.
However, it is obviously too late, the peasant army can release arrows, will the Ming army not release arrows?
When there was less than a hundred meters away from the former army camp, the Ming cavalry began to release arrows, and for a while, the sky was full of dense feather arrows, intertwined back and forth!
The speed of the cavalry was too fast, the peasant army only shot three or four waves of feather arrows, and the cavalry had already rushed to the gate of the camp, Gao Jie took the lead, and the big knife in his hand swept aside, and the deer firewood on the ground was swept aside, and the other soldiers who rushed in front also did the same, waving their weapons and sweeping away obstacles, and even some cavalry directly urged the horses to cross the obstacles and rush into the camp of the peasant army!
The peasant army was in chaos, it was too sudden, there was no preparation at all, I thought that now the Ming army was alone in the depths, thousands of miles away, and had already lost its sharpness, but I didn't expect it to be so violent!
The cavalry who rushed up waved the swords and guns in their hands, and rushed towards the peasant army soldiers, and the huge impact directly shocked the peasant army, and the peasant army scattered and fled, not daring to fight at all, and moving forward, then there was only one ending, that is, death!
Even so, the cavalry of the Ming army was quick and murderous, and many peasant troops fell under the knives of the cavalry, and their mouths continued to let out a terrible howl, and the whole camp of the peasant army was in chaos!
"Quick, quick, send a message to the general immediately, block the enemy army, you must block them!"
Ke Liang, the general of the former army, hurriedly organized his troops to resist the assault of the cavalry, and ordered someone to urgently send a message to the general, without the main general in charge, each department fought its own battle, and it was absolutely impossible to stop the surprise attack of so many cavalry!
Soon, the news reached Liu Zongmin's ears, Liu Zongmin was shocked, and roared angrily: "Order, Li Xiuxian, continue to keep an eye on me, you must not let this spy escape, and the others will return to the camp with me immediately!" ”
The camp was attacked, the news spread, and the soldiers under Li Xiuxian were frightened and panicked, but they ignored that a figure, at the moment when the peasant army was panicking, rushed out of the mountains and forests, and then the grass and trees on the side of the road rushed out!
Zhu Jie is full of grievances, fuck, damn bastard! In just one hour, you fed Lao Tzu at least two or three hundred cannonballs, wait, Lao Tzu is not finished with you!
In the face of the cannonballs in the sky, even if Zhu Jie's ability is great, he can only retreat, after all, he is not a Daluo Immortal, several times, the cannonballs have passed by him, it is too dangerous!
Zhu Jie looked at Liu Zongmin, who was running wildly not far away, grabbed a batch of war horses, and chased them in the direction of Liu Zongmin!
When I came to the camp of the peasant army, the entire peasant army was already on the verge of collapse, after all, in the face of the crazy assault of nearly 10,000 cavalry, the peasant army did not scatter and flee under the leaderless dragons, which was already good.
However, even so, Liu Zongmin was so angry that he agreed in a good way, just because that damn spy appeared, he made it look like this!
"Order, the whole army should fight, you must drive the Ming cavalry away for me, send a letter to Li Guo, and ask him to send cavalry to support immediately!"
Liu Zongmin shouted, waved the big knife in his hand, and rushed forward, just a few steps away, Gao Jie came head-on!
"Gao Jie!"
Liu Zongmin's ruthless teeth itched, it turned out to be this rebel general who led the cavalry to attack his own camp!
"Dog's rats, you accept your life!"
