I'm really not the carpenter emperor

The two discussed a few words, and both decided to go out of the city to fight.

In the distance, smoke and dust billowed, and shouts shook the sky.Sun Hongji and Li Shiji are leading their subordinates, pretending to be fighting.

But in fact, except for the thirty or so death squads that were damaged under the city, the rest of the officers and soldiers were only loud with thunder and little rain.

"Why haven't they come yet?"

Li Shiji's hand holding the weapon was sweating, seeing that there was no movement on the top of the city, he asked again: "Did they see it through?"

"Don't panic, I'm waiting!"

After Sun Hongji finished speaking, he kicked Li Shiji hard.

The latter was unprepared, kicked a few steps directly, looked up at him, and said in astonishment:

"Keju! You kid, are you serious?"

Sun Hongji laughed.

"I've wanted to compete with you for a long time."

"Then you should be careful!"

Li Shiji was not angry, he slashed at Sun Hongji with the back of his knife, but he nimbly dodged it.

The two were fighting. Suddenly, Lengshui closed several sections of the city wall, and at the same time, the drums of war were thundering, and the rebel cavalry rushed out frantically.

They rushed out of Guancheng shouting, and some of them stayed directly beside the corpses of more than [-] officers and soldiers, fighting for the armor and luggage.

There are also some who directly kill in the direction where the officers and soldiers are fighting.

Seeing this, Sun Hongji and Li Shiji looked at each other and winked at Zhao Guangrong who was in the other direction. The three got on their horses at the same time and shouted:

"Kill! Kill!"

Immediately, the officers and soldiers who were fighting in chaos turned their guns around one after another, and the troops came to meet them neatly.

The two chieftains who were rushing halfway stamped their feet, feeling that something was wrong.

"No, it's an ambush!"

"Quickly withdraw to the pass, quickly withdraw to the pass!!"

They yelled frantically, and before they could finish speaking, Sun Hongji rushed to one of them on horseback, and slashed his forehead with a knife.

Immediately, blood spattered everywhere, and the earth chief who fell on the ground twitched a few times, and then became silent.

The officers and soldiers rushed like thunder, and fought with the panic-stricken rebels. Within half an hour, the rebels were retreating steadily, leaving corpses on the ground, and then collapsed and scattered.

The fleeing rebels hissed and howled:

"Ambush! Run!"

1 Chapter Twenty

The battlefield changes rapidly.

Sun Hongji, Li Shiji, Zhao Guangrong and other three Tongzhou Guard generals fulfilled their mission, sacrificed a group of death squads, and successfully captured Lengshuiguan within half a day.

The rapid change of ownership here almost played a decisive role in the entire battle situation in Nanchuan.

A few miles away, Chen Ce was riding on a horse and frowned when he saw that the She army stopped advancing. This situation is wrong.

The tip I got earlier was that She Chongming gathered an army and rushed towards him from the front.

But now he roughly estimates that the three positions of the luxury army in front of him have less than 2 horses and even fewer cavalry.

Liu Yuanbin also had a dignified expression, the rebel army could never have only this amount of strength.

Although this was his first time participating in a large-scale battle as a cavalry commander, he, who had always been keen, had already noticed that there was an atmosphere of uneasiness on the battlefield.

"General, the commander on the other side is a chief. She Chongming didn't show up. I'm afraid we will fall into the trap."

Chen Ce didn't look back, and pondered: "Where is Your Majesty?"

"According to the news two quarters of an hour ago, His Majesty has taken his own troops to camp on the hill, with Huang Degong guarding him."

"Well, I'm relieved to have him here." Knowing this Yulin man, Chen Ce let go of his worries a little, but asked again:

"Qi Jin from the left wing, hasn't there been any news?"

Liu Yuanbin shook his head.

"The last time there was news, it was a quarter of an hour ago."

"wrong……"

Chen Ce was also afraid that the officers and soldiers would be caught in the trap. Because these rebels were familiar with the terrain in central Shu, they often waited for work with ease, and suddenly set up an ambush, making it impossible for the officers and soldiers to defend against them.

Just as he was thinking about it, a fast horse galloped from behind, but it was the emperor's big man from the imperial camp. Due to special circumstances, the visitor just performed a clasping salute on the horse, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty said that a watchtower should be built on the post. Firstly, it can boost morale, and secondly, it will facilitate overall coordination."

As soon as the big Han general finished speaking, he turned around and walked away. He had just gone a few steps, but turned his horse's head around and turned back, saying:

"Your Majesty also said that you don't need to ask the imperial camp for instructions when fighting in various places. From the commander in chief to the left commander, down to the general and the general, everyone can do it cheaply!"

Hearing this, Chen Ce felt more confident, and said loudly, "Please tell Your Majesty, there will be no problems with the right wing."

At this time, there was movement on the other side.

Drums sounded everywhere in front of them, but it was the chieftain who led more than [-] extravagant troops, who suddenly advanced amidst the shouts, and they slapped their swords and guns on the shield regularly, and their momentum was not weak.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The rebels gradually approached with the sound of drums and shouts, and many officers and soldiers became nervous. At this time, Chen Ce flew out a cavalry pacesetter from the rear.

Soon, Liu Yuanbin, who received the order, led thousands of cavalry to meet him a little bit, adopted a waiting posture, and stood in front of the artillery battalion that was setting up a position.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers only separated thousands of cavalry from the formation to step forward for a while, and then stopped advancing, the chieftain who led the troops was also puzzled.

This rocky beach is slightly wide enough for tens of thousands of troops to line up here, and a trickle flows through the rocky beach, which is not conducive to the running of men and horses.

Most of the cavalry of the extravagant army were mules and donkeys collected by chieftains from various places, but the cavalry of officers and soldiers were excellent war horses.

The formation on the rocky beach can offset their cavalry advantage.

Thinking of this, the chieftain looked at the familiar terrain around him, suddenly felt confident in his heart, and sneered a few times again, these officers and soldiers would know the power of the rocky beach later.

As the two armies got closer, Chen Ce also received feedback from Liu Yuanbin, that is, the rocky beach terrain was not conducive to the cavalry attack.

Hearing this, Chen Ce became thoughtful.

It is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there are rocky beaches and streams in the middle. There is neither a tree nor a mound, and it is true that it cannot exert its cavalry advantage.

But after thinking about it, he smiled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ce immediately dispatched pacesetters and gave Liu Yuanbin an order to immediately attack the rebels on the west side of the rocky beach, preventing them from gaining a foothold there.

He decided to use Liu Yuanbin's cavalry as bait to lure some rebels to the west side of the rocky beach and encircle them.

As for the wishful thinking of the rebels, Chen Ce also understood.

Thinking of this, he even sneered a few times.

Although She Chongming is familiar with the terrain, but this time he was clever and was mistaken by cleverness.

As far as the terrain on the rocky beach is concerned, although it is inconvenient for one's own cavalry to attack, the rebels on the opposite side are also easily killed by guns.

Obviously, She Chongming made a mistake.

Although he made a sufficient analysis of the advances of the officers and soldiers in various places, he missed a key link-firearms.

Under such terrain, Chen Ce, who has rich combat experience, knows that his cavalry is useless, but firearms can exert their greatest power.

Since the cavalry is useless, why not make sacrifices and use this as bait to divide and eliminate the rebels?

As soon as the pacesetters left, the rebels began to approach the center, and the two armies gradually joined forces.

When they entered the shooting range of the self-generating blunderbuss, there was a sudden explosion on the officer's position.

But the more than [-] Yongwei camp bird musketeers had already started firing round after round.

The terrain on the rocky beach made it difficult for the rebels to avoid or resist the flying lead bullets.

After the casualties, the rebels were naturally unwilling to sit still, and soon separated some archers to shoot at the musketeers.

There were casualties in the positions of officers and soldiers, but in comparison, the number of casualties of the rebels was several times that of the officers and soldiers.

After improvements by Bi Maokang and others, these self-generating blunderbuss not only have a spontaneous firing device, they will not be affected by the weather, and their power has increased a lot.

The rebels continued to release arrow rain on the positions of officers and soldiers, but their arrow rain was nothing compared to the Jurchens in Liao.

Officers and soldiers have excellent armor, and the casualties caused by the rebel bows and arrows are very limited.

The chieftain found that he couldn't shoot at each other. After he had an unforgettable impression of the power of the officers and soldiers' firearms, he quickly ordered his subordinates to move forward.

At the same time, he also separated a part of the troops and turned to charge towards Liu Yuanbin's cavalry on the west side.

Even so, the number of rebels in the middle was still much larger than that of Chen Ce's central army.

Chen Ce was riding on the horse, and he could even see from the disdainful face of the chieftain that he wanted to use the advantage of numbers to fight directly in the middle.

Thinking about it, the chieftain also knew in his heart that when everyone was fighting together, they would not be afraid of the sharp guns of the officers and soldiers.

When he saw part of the rebel army splitting up to surround Liu Yuanbin, a smile appeared on Chen Ce's face, they were fooled.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and after throwing down more than 1000 mutilated corpses, the most tragic hand-to-hand combat began.

The two sides fought together, and the chieftain himself led the team. After a while of hacking and killing, he realized that these officers and soldiers were very powerful in fighting.

Their positions are not chaotic, and they are obviously well-trained elites!

Although the number of rebels is superior, the first time their knives and guns are stabbed or slashed at the officers and soldiers, they are often shunned.

The officers and soldiers are just the opposite. Sharp sabers and spears can easily penetrate the defenses of the rebels and penetrate into the flesh.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the battle, the sound of shouting and killing penetrated the mountains and went straight into the sky.

A trickle of water has turned into a river of blood and broken flesh, which is shocking.

Chapter 121 We Can't Retreat!

The chieftain finally came to his senses, the combat effectiveness of this pro-conquest army was completely different from that of the local Ming army.

To continue fighting with such casualties, as he thought before, it is absolutely impossible to rush to the hill and capture the little emperor.

Now it seems that even getting out of the body is not easy.

On the rocky beach terrain, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers almost lost their ability to run, but their firearms were unexpectedly powerful.

Continuing to fight will only damage the troops in vain.

He suddenly thought, I heard that there are many generals who are rigorous in military management and familiar with battle formations in this personal conquest army, who is facing him against him, could it be one of them?

Soon, the chieftain issued the latest order.

Stop continuing the onslaught, fight and retreat, just want to stabilize your position, join the troops on the west side, and drag this official army.

After a few quarters of an hour of fierce fighting, the rebel army suddenly began to retreat. Chen Ce, who was fighting with his own soldiers in the formation, saw that the chieftain restrained his troops and retreated slowly to the west.

He quickly realized that the rebels were going to turn around and eat Liu Yuanbin, and then confront him for two battles?

Immediately, Chen Ce sneered a few times, there is no such cheap thing in the world!

"March! March!!"

He raised the goose-wing knife and roared to the back.

When the pacesetters in the rear saw them, they immediately waved high the command flag a few times to convey the order. Immediately, there was loud drumming on the rocky beach.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The west side of Liu Yuanbin, because of being stabbed in the back by the rebels, and the rocky beach terrain where the horses could not attack, became the place where the officers and soldiers suffered the most damage.

Seeing the command flag fluttering in the rear, he wiped the blood off his face and shouted, "Withdraw! Let's join the general!"

The cavalry roared loudly, leaped away from the rebel formation behind them, stopped in front of the retreating chieftain troops, and surrounded him with Chen Ce.

The chieftain was taken aback for a moment, thinking something was wrong.

In order to escape for their lives, the chieftain was also extremely brave, taking the lead and slashing wildly with his sword. The rebels and Liu Yuanbin's cavalry fought into a ball, and the sky was dark.

When Liu Yuanbin's cavalry was used as bait, they had already suffered a lot of casualties, and the rebels, inspired by the chieftain, also rose up.
