"What? Wang Yingxiong has 10 troops? Is Deng Zhirong's information wrong?" Zhu Youjian was taken aback when he heard that Wang Yingxiong had 10 troops. If Wang Yingxiong had [-] troops, his plan would be completely ruined.

"No, according to intelligence, as long as the forward 3000 people are the army, the rear... seems to be all refugees."

Zhu Youjian was taken aback for a moment, and he and Zuo Maodi looked at each other.They also couldn't understand why Wang Yingxiong brought so many refugees to the north.

"Come on, let's go to the front and have a look." Zhu Youjian was very curious, what kind of army this is, it can march like a turtle and is described as a refugee.

Avoiding Wang Yingxiong's striker, Zhu Youjian and his party wore new military uniforms and quietly came to the area of ​​Heishigang, found a hiding place and stared at the group of troops down the mountain with binoculars.

The first thing that catches the eye is the flag bearer at the head of the team. There are dozens of flags in Wang Yingxiong's team, which is really impressive.Behind the flag is a group of drummers playing Chui Da Da, dozens of people, and the birds and beasts scurry in fright along the way.

After that, there is Wang Yingxiong's guard of honor. This guard of honor is to avoid the quiet card. In addition, there are various official badges such as "Imperially appointed Sichuan governor", among which there is a Wanmin umbrella.The guard of honor is dozens of people.

Behind the guard of honor was a row of four people carrying big sedan chairs. Zhu Youjian reckoned that Wang Yingxiong should be sitting in the front sedan chair, because that sedan chair was the most luxuriously decorated.As for the sedan chair at the back, it was the sedan chair of Wang Yingxiong's officials.

Looking into the distance, there is a sliding pole that can't be seen at a glance. As for what is behind the sliding pole, Zhu Youjian can't see clearly at all.

Zhu You checked and counted, and there were more than 100 sedan chairs carried by four people and sedan chairs carried by two people. Among them, there were more than 20 sedan chairs carried by four people, and the rest were all carried by two people.Zhu Youjian then asked Deng Zhirong beside him: "Are there more than 100 civil servants around Wang Yingxiong?"

"No, there are only four people carrying sedan chairs here who are officials, and the sedan chairs carried by the two people are their wives and concubines."

Zhu Youjian almost didn't spit out with a puff. According to this calculation, each of these officials must have at least five concubines on average.

"Where are there so many bearers?" Zuo Maodi interrupted and asked.

"It's all Wang Xiang's soldiers who are carrying them. These soldiers have been carrying them for half a month." Deng Zhirong looked at the troops down the mountain with disgust.

"This is an army with no weapons and equipment!" Zuo Maodi was very disappointed with this Donglin celebrity.

Chapter 3 and Five: Wang Yingxiong Falls

Zhu Youjian originally prepared two brigades to fight an ambush, and then captured Wang Yingxiong. After seeing the shape of the opponent's team, Zhu Youjian returned directly to Qijiang.

He thought that there was no need for any ambush in this battle, and the ambush was superfluous at all. Zhu Youjian was afraid that a sudden attack would scare these people to death.

In a flat valley in the outskirts of Qijiang River, the Xinchuan Army directly arrayed here, and all the artillery were mounted on the hills and high grounds on both sides.This is also the first time that the Xinchuan Army has officially faced positional warfare.

"Report! Report to the supervisor that there is a strangely dressed army blocking the way. General Wang, please order whether to attack them."

Wang Yingxiong was dozing off in the big sedan chair. When people get older, they often doze off unconsciously. Wang Yingxiong is in this state now.

"Which son of a bitch dares to block my way?" Wang Yingxiong was very angry when his doze was interrupted.Just based on the army in strange clothes, he can predict which blind Turkish army is blocking the road and robbery.

"But..." The soldier who delivered the order was a little nervous.

"But what?"

"The other party seems to have a lot of people, it looks like there are tens of thousands of people." The soldier bravely said boldly.

"I have tens of thousands of people, and I'm afraid he won't succeed. Tell Wang Xiang, I'll hack this bunch of deadheads to death for me." Wang Yingxiong was furious, thinking which village this was, and the whole village was going to come out to rob him.

Originally, it was not the turn of Wang Xiang, the deputy chief soldier, to be the striker this time, but because he took up the post with his old master, Wang Xiang wanted to perform well, so he insisted on being the striker.

Wang Xiang was dismissive of the army standing in front of him. Although those people were wearing neat military uniforms, they all had grass rings on their heads. Based on this, Wang Xiang concluded that the other party was actually a group of soldiers. Turkish army.

This can't be blamed for the disorganized appearance of the Xinchuan Army. Zhu Youjian originally planned to launch an ambush, and these soldiers also wore grass rings on their heads as camouflage. They didn't expect to change the order temporarily, and everyone stared at the thatch array up.

On the mountain far away, Zhu Youjian and the people from the Xinchuan Army's military headquarters gathered here to watch the battle. There were neatly arranged cannons at their feet, but the cannons were also camouflaged.

"Your Majesty, look, they are starting to attack." Deng Zhirong pointed to the soldiers running towards the Sichuan Army's position in a swarm.

"Then what are you still doing in a daze? Wait for the New Year." Zhu Youjian cursed angrily.

Deng Zhirong blushed, and he realized that as long as Zhu Youjian was around, he would not fight.But Deng Zhirong had been the army commander for a year after all, and even though the battles were small, he still dared to issue general orders.

"Order the artillery to start the first round of attack." Deng Zhirong took a deep breath and gave an order to the messenger.

"Boom! Boom, boom, boom!!!" When the cannons sounded from the hillsides on both sides, Wang Xiang fell off his horse and fell to the ground. His first reaction was to find a big rock to hide.

Two rows of swarthy iron eggs crossed and flew into the group of attacking soldiers, jumping and plowing countless bloody paths on the river beach, the attacking soldiers immediately vented, and then all turned around and ran away.

"You sons of bitches, give me a fight." Wang Xiang hid behind a stone, shouting and jumping with a single knife, but he still didn't dare to come out.

"Run, it's too scary. I'm going to kill Shanwazi when I see the head." The power of dozens of cannons firing at the same time is not something these soldiers can withstand. They didn't even see the enemy's face clearly. Blown away by cannons.

More than 3000 people broke up and ran desperately towards the tops of the mountains on both sides of the river like herding sheep.Only the top of the mountain can escape the bombardment of the cannon.

"Your Majesty, next..." Deng Zhirong's old problem happened again, and he didn't know how to fight next.

"Come on, drag this guy down to be a firefighter." Zhu Youjian was so angry that he really hated iron but steel.

"Don't! Don't! Don't! I know how to fight." Deng Zhirong turned pale with fright. If he went to be a fire-headed soldier again, not only would he lose his face, but he might only be a fire-headed soldier in his life.

"Order the battalions in ambush on the two sides of the mountain to drive the enemy down the mountain." Deng Zhirong wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was so anxious that his back was wet with sweat just now.

When the resounding charge horn was heard from both sides, a full five-mile front line was drawn along the woods on both sides of the valley. More than 1 soldiers all rushed out of their hiding places and rushed towards the valley like a mountain.

"What sound? It seems to be a firecracker." Wang Yingxiong was a little far away, so he couldn't hear the sound of the cannon at the beginning, but he heard some small sounds of firecrackers, which were already the choking sound from the position closest to him.

"Run, my lord, the enemy is coming." A guard beside Wang Yingxiong hurried to the side of the sedan chair, ready to grab Wang Yingxiong and run away.But the old man was too old and his movements were too slow.

"Hurry up, get up the sedan chair." Wang Yingxiong felt that his two legs must not be able to run fast, so he could only count on the four bearers beside him to carry him.

As soon as Wang Yingxiong's sedan chair turned around, all the sedan chairs behind him were crowded and turned around.Not far away, the naked eye could already see a green stream of people driving a group of Ming troops towards the south.

"My lord, this sedan chair is too heavy." A bearer beside Wang Yingxiong said aggrievedly.

Don't look at them being carried by four people, but this sedan chair is not a sliding pole, but an official sedan chair made by the imperial court. This kind of sedan chair is very heavy, and you don't feel it when you carry it slowly. If you carry it for a run, you will have to Life.

The Charger in the north rushed by, and the nearest Charger seemed to be not far behind, and Wang Yingxiong's sedan chair hadn't run 100 meters away.Just the crowded sedan chairs and sliding poles along the way blocked the road to death.

"Crack!" After a crisp firecracker sounded, a soldier who was running back was shot in the head on the spot, and fell bloody beside the bearer.

"I'll go to your mother's place." The four bearers glanced at each other, then threw away the pole, turned and ran away.

Wang Yingxiong was directly thrown into a mess, he only felt his head was dizzy, and when he reached out to touch it, his head was full of blood.

"Master..." The servants beside Wang Yingxiong didn't bother to catch the bearers, and hurriedly straightened the Jiaozi who was crooked by the side of the road.

"Help me, master, stand up, and wait for me to go and reprimand those unruly people and bandits." Wang Yingxiong looked at the broken soldiers, and planned to let him personally come forward to turn the tide.He believed that as long as he, a member of the imperial court, stepped forward, the local soldiers on the opposite side would definitely put down their weapons.

In fact, at this time, the two brigades of the Xinchuan Army had already surrounded Wang Xiang's [-] forwards. This was a battle without suspense at all.

The Xinchuan army hadn't used three points of force, and the opponent had completely crossed.In the final analysis, Wang Xiang, the servant Wang Yingxiong relied on, was nothing but a waste snack.

Another is that Wang Xiang's soldiers could not adapt to the large-scale bombardment.Yes, that's right.Field battles with dozens of cannons are very exaggerated in this era. These soldiers in the Southwest only know that cannons are used to attack cities.

The cannon is the god of land warfare. There are cannons in front and blocking soldiers in the back. Even Wang Xiang himself lost his command. 3000 people surrendered in less than an hour, leaving a large number of bearers who had been exhausted for half a month.
