Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 804 Sweeping Thousands of Armies 5
In the terrifying thunder and lightning, the Heluo New Army and the Quanzhou Army huddled together, killing each other with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

It was also on this terrifying night that Zheng's army really saw clearly the strength of Heluo's new army and how far the gap between themselves and Heluo's new army was.

In terms of infantry combat, the [-] brave soldiers carefully selected from the [-] defenders were no match for the mere [-] Heluo New Army infantry.Although there are Heluo new army firing flares again and again, the Quanzhou army thinks that ghosts are haunting and the morale of the army is fluctuating, but they have taken advantage of the right time and place, and the two thousand brave fighters have performed at a super level, still allowing them to fight more with less A big defeat, which can explain the problem.Now nearly a thousand of these two thousand brave warriors have been stabbed down, and the rest are also surrounded by groups, unable to rush out at all. It is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.

In terms of cavalry, the Heluo New Army also fought more with less.Through the bright light of the flares, they discovered that the Quanzhou Army's war horses were particularly tall. They concluded that these must be the fine war horses that Catherine had worked so hard to traffic from Europe and planned to sell them to them. They were all filled with anger: "It's okay to steal our war horses." Forget it, dare to ride them over to fight us?Good boy, if I don't beat you out of shit, I'll count you clean!Zhong Ning, furious, tried to beat Hou Jin Jiannu. The lancers were in front and the hunting cavalry was behind. The cavalry was like a wall, and the horses were like forests. The long and narrow saber was swung across lightly and quickly, harvesting like grass. Taking human lives.The cavalry of the Quanzhou Army are also rigorously trained, but the gap between these cavalry trained in the beautiful south and the knights polished in the biting cold outside the Great Wall cannot be measured by training, not to mention that the opponents they have to face have copied them. In the training and combat system of modern cavalry, the gap is even greater.They were first knocked upside down by the Lancers, and an unknown number of them were pierced into skewers by the horses, and then turned upside down by the sabers.Those Mongolian warriors are simply devils on horseback. Unless you have seen it with your own eyes, you will never believe that a person can be so flexible on horseback!The long and narrow Miao knives for both cavalry and cavalry turned into terrifying murder weapons in their hands. The sword flashed and blood splashed. Wherever they swept, few people had their limbs intact.

Countless torches lit up on the city of Quanzhou, and the wind pulled the flames to length and length, making Li Shu's face pale.From such a distance, he certainly couldn't see the situation on the battlefield clearly, but from the intensive screams, he could tell that his troops suffered heavy losses from the fierce offensive of the Heluo New Army!His fingers dug into the cracks in the bricks of the city plate, and the veins on the back of his hands protruded. Several generals challenged him to fight, but he refused.He knew very well that if he transferred troops out now, there would be nothing he could do except send them to death. He couldn't wipe out the Quanzhou Army's old background.

But... it was his son who was surrounded by Heluo's new army!He had only two sons, the eldest son was not up to the standard of the fish and meat people, and he cut it down with pain. All his hopes were pinned on this youngest son who was hardworking, studious, brave in combat, and filial to his elders. If he fell into the hands of the new Heluo army What should he do?
There were bursts of roaring screams from the battlefield: "Surrender! Surrender! We surrender!" Immediately afterwards, the earth-shattering killing sound stopped, and only the wind and rain continued to howl.

The generals of the Quanzhou army were relatively silent.Unlike Zheng Biao, who was defeated in a daze, they really had nothing to say about this result.When Zheng Biao was defeated, he could complain that his army was a mob and his assistants were a bunch of pigs. The Quanzhou Army could not, because the troops participating in the battle, whether they were infantry or cavalry, were the most elite among them, and they also tried their best!They were beaten like this and still suffered a crushing defeat. Apart from being inferior to others, there was really no other reason.

Li Shu closed his eyes bitterly, the rain fell from his wrinkled cheeks, and he said silently in his heart: "Admiral, I'm afraid I can't help you defend Quanzhou..." Most of the elites were lost overnight, he said he was not sad is deceptive.But besides being sad, he also had a tinge of rejoicing. It was embarrassing for those troops who fought in the end to surrender, but... Li Xu should also be among them, right?Anyway, as long as he survives!
"From now on, guard the four gates tightly, and those who dare to go out of the city to fight will be killed even if they win!" The aged general gave an order in a hoarse voice.

All the generals of the Quanzhou Army silently obeyed his orders.Under the firelight, everyone can see that the old general has more gray hair on his head.

Over there, Xue Siming counted the casualties, good guy, more than 300 people were killed!Such heavy casualties made him furious, staring viciously at those trembling hands squatting in the muddy water with their heads in their hands, looking at his captives in horror, thinking whether to snap them all up, and then give their heads to that old man Li Shu sent.He suddenly found that although there was blood all over his body, a young man was still staring at him stubbornly, meeting his sharp gaze like a blade without any fear.He walked over and lightly tapped the young man's shoulder with his horsewhip: "Get up, what's your name?"

The young man stood up - he was injured in many places, and he gasped in pain when he moved the slightest. However, he did not show any weakness and said loudly: "I won't change my name when I walk, and I won't change my surname when I sit down. My surname is Li, my name is Xu, and I am the general of Quanzhou, Mr. Li." The general is my father!"

Xue Siming asked: "You led the team to try to storm the camp in the rain?"

Li Xu said, "That's right!"

Xue Siming said: "Your father is really cruel to you, to let you perform such a dangerous task!"

Li Xu said solemnly: "my father said that to be a general, one must lead the soldiers and love soldiers like sons, so that soldiers will follow and be willing to obey orders! He is the highest general in Quanzhou, and I am his only son. This kind of mission of narrow escape, I am willing Of course you have to be the first one!"

Xue Siming was stunned for a moment, and said, "You have a good father, and he gave birth to a good son! That's enough, take your men and go back to the city."

This time it was Li Xu's turn to be stunned: "You...what do you mean? What tricks do you want to play?"

Xue Siming said: "I want to defeat you. I don't need to play tricks. I wanted to kill you all to express the anger in my heart, but because your father once killed his relatives righteously in order to avenge the people's grievances, I changed my mind." I have made up my mind. He is not a bad person, and I can’t let him die. You go back and tell your father that the war between our Heluo New Army and Zheng’s is not a death battle for the survival of the nation. The sea merchant who died tragically seeks justice... This is the grievance between us and the Zheng family, and has nothing to do with other people. If he really has people in his heart, please stop being an enemy of our army, otherwise he will treat him and the people of Quanzhou Nothing good! This decision is not difficult to make. I hope to get his answer before tomorrow evening. You know, my patience is not very good. Well, go back, whoever, get some anti-inflammatory drugs for them Bring back."

Immediately, some female medical soldiers brought large and small packages of medicine to the prisoners of war, and then the Heluo New Army put away their rifles and returned to the camp, really ignoring these prisoners.

From Li Xu down, everyone touched their heads, and until they returned to the city, they still felt like they were dreaming.The murderous Heluo New Army actually released them and gave them medicine?What kind of medicine are these Yankees selling in their gourds?

Regardless of what medicine is sold in the gourd, it is good to be able to save a life...

Yan Yingyuan was very puzzled: "General Xue, why did you release all the prisoners of war? These are elite soldiers, are you not afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Xue Siming said: "What else can we do if we don't let them go? Are we really going to knock them all out? It's not difficult to knock them all out. It's just that the Quanzhou Army has lost all hope and fights to the end with us. How long will it take for us to get rid of them?" Take Quanzhou?"

Yan Yingyuan smiled: "So why don't you just give Li Shu a favor, hoping that he won't be an enemy of our army again?"

Xue Siming said, "Yes."

Yan Yingyuan asked: "Are you so sure that Li Shu will accept your love?"

Xue Siming said: "How can you be sure about things on the battlefield? You must seize the opportunity when it comes. Even if you don't succeed, it's just a waste of work. But once you miss the opportunity, no matter how many people die, you will grab it." I won’t come back...don’t talk, go to bed! I hope that old general can understand our kindness.”

Yan Yingyuan said in his heart: "This is too hasty. Even if you want to turn an enemy into a friend, you should invite that Mr. Li into the tent to let him change into clean clothes, drink a few glasses of wine to calm down the shock, and then express your admiration and friendship. What do you mean, let people go back afterward? How can someone drive people back in mud and water like now? Just like this, you still want to turn enemies into friends with Li Shu? I see Xuan!"

However, just after dawn the next day, he received a report that Li Shu, the commander of the Quanzhou Army, with several thorns on his back, led all the generals of the Quanzhou Army out of the city and knelt outside the camp to plead guilty!He was startled, and ran out to see, it wasn't true, the generals of the Quanzhou army were kneeling there in the light rain, the leader was Li Shu with gray hair and wrinkled face.He clicked his tongue, Xue Siming's strategy of turning an enemy into a friend, which is full of loopholes, is also very effective, right?It really surprised him!Not daring to be negligent, he hurried to find Xue Siming, shook him awake, and called: "General, Li Shu led the generals of the Quanzhou Army to come here to plead guilty!"

Xue Siming rolled his eyelids, closed them after hearing clearly, and said, "Understood, let them kneel first."

Yan Yingyuan almost vomited blood: "Aren't you afraid that they will become angry and go back to Quanzhou to fight us to the death?"

Xue Siming snorted: "If I really want to fight us to the end, they won't take the blame...Let them kneel first, grandma, kill so many of my brothers, I have to wait until I calm down!"

Yan Yingyuan couldn't laugh or cry, he had nothing to do with Xue Siming, he could only sigh.

Xue Siming didn't come out for a long time, and the generals of the Quanzhou Army could only kneel there obediently in the rain.It was okay at first, but as time went by, everyone couldn't stand it any more and started shouting: "Old General, this northern barbarian is so arrogant and arrogant. We even apologized to him but he still ignored us. He is really bullying us!" I think we should stop putting hot faces on his cold ass, go back to Quanzhou and continue to hold on, and fight him to the end!"

Li Shu snorted coldly and cursed: "Stupid! Fight to the end? First ask the people of Quanzhou if they agree! The Heluo New Army has such a powerful artillery that they can blow down the city walls of Putian in a blink of an eye, and they are about to blow down the city walls of Quanzhou It's an easy job, and until now it hasn't been fired, it shows that they don't want to fight with us and make Quanzhou's life miserable! They took the initiative to release the captives back, and they have shown enough sincerity. If I still want to fight with them Fight to the end, not to mention the people of Quanzhou, even the soldiers under your command will not support it!"

A lieutenant general said: "That's the reason, but it's not a solution if he keeps kneeling here and ignores him!"

Li Shu said: "Ignoring him is a good thing. If he comes out to greet him with a smile on his face, I really have to be cautious!"

It has to be said that this old general is really a good person. He knows that the Heluo New Army does not like to play tricks and tricks, and likes to rely on strength to crush opponents. He fought with them fiercely all night, causing many casualties to the Heluo New Army. Heluo New Army It's definitely a lie if there is no anger in the army's heart. Letting them kneel here and ignore them is a sign of anger in their hearts. One of the great advantages of dealing with such people is peace of mind. If Xue Siming ran away without wearing any shoes like Cao Cao, He really had to be careful when he came out to greet him.Last night, after learning that Li Xu and all the captured soldiers had been released, and that the Heluo New Army had also sent a lot of medicine to treat trauma, Li Shu was quite emotional. The father and son talked all night and came to the conclusion that Zheng Zhilong They were definitely no match for Yang Menglong. They had to find a way out before the Zheng Group disappeared.

Although Zheng Zhilong also has an official status, everyone knows that it is false. In the eyes of the court, he is always a pirate. Following this pirate, no matter how much the Li family and his son can fight, the future is limited.But Yang Menglong is different, he is the double wall of the empire, the invincible and invincible God of War of the Ming Dynasty, if he can serve under his command, it can be said that the future is boundless!Li Shu had already sent his son to personally lead a team to fight a fierce battle with the Heluo New Army. He almost lost his life. The debt owed to Zheng Zhilong has been paid off. He has to make plans for himself, for the Li family, and for all the brothers in the Quanzhou Army. up.So the old man didn't say anything, and came to make such a plea!
Everyone fought a big battle, and there were quite a few Heluo New Army soldiers who died at the hands of the Quanzhou Army. If you want to seek refuge in the past, you must first show a gesture to let them dispel their grievances, right?Otherwise, after taking refuge in the past, people will give you small shoes to wear every day, what's the point?
