Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

The artillery in the army roared, and shells fell on Wu Jisheng's army like raindrops.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of breaking through the air was endless, and the sound of explosions continued to rise and fall.

Flames and explosions, gunpowder smoke and screams kept appearing in Wu Jisheng's army formation.

Wu Jisheng's soldiers and horses were shaken under this level of blow.

Although these soldiers are well-trained new troops in Chongzhen's hands, they have no power to fight back in the face of this level of bombing, and can only stand there passively to receive the bombing.

"Help, help!"

A Novice soldier's calf hit by fragments from a shell explosion.

The sharp and high-speed fragments cut his calf in half in an instant.

The soldier fell to the ground, howling incessantly.

The soldier next to him watched all this suddenly, and was frightened to stay where he was.

The flesh and blood became vulnerable under the metal and the explosion.

Because the soldiers in the army are too dense, every explosion can take away the lives of new army soldiers.

The bombing lasted for two quarters of an hour, and Wu Jisheng's army formation was bombed into disrepair during the two quarters of an hour.

The rout is inevitable, and under this level of bombing, no one can remain calm.

"I want to go home, I want to go home!" A soldier of the new army threw down his weapon and fled to the side.

The soldiers of the new army were like the river water that broke the dam, rushing for thousands of miles.

"Stop firing, the whole army is attacking!" Zhang Dong waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Under his order, the artillery stopped firing, and the infantry deployed on both sides of the artillery position began to charge.

Although there were only a few thousand people, the aura erupted by these few thousand people was even greater than Wu Jisheng's 2 people.

These soldiers rushed towards Wu Jisheng's army like sharks smelling blood.

The war horse under Wu Jisheng's crotch was frightened by the violent explosion just now and ran to nowhere. Wu Jisheng himself was also thrown off the horse by the war horse.

Wu Jisheng was so embarrassed that he was helped up from the ground by his personal guards.

The guards around him were similar to him, and the horses under his crotch were frightened by the explosion and ran away.

"General, we can't fight, we can't fight, we are not Zhao's opponent." A personal guard looked at Wu Jisheng standing in front of him, and shouted in fear.

The explosion just now really shocked him, as if his soul had been frightened.

Wu Jisheng's teeth were bared, he looked towards the direction where the guards and reserve soldiers were rushing towards, and roared: "If you can't fight, you have to fight, this is the last battle of the imperial court, if we lose this battle, the imperial court will be completely over .

You and I have received such a long court salary, it is time to be loyal to the country. "

After Wu Jisheng finished speaking, he waved the waist knife in his hand and roared angrily: "Come on, pass the order, go on!"

However, after being bombed to that extent, how dare these new soldiers attack the guards and reserves?

Now these soldiers of the new army have been blown out of their wits by the artillery fire just now, and fled in all directions. How can they listen to Wu Jisheng's order?

Although officers at all levels kept suppressing the soldiers under their command, it had no effect.

The moment the artillery fires, victory or defeat is already decided.

When the guards and reserve soldiers rushed into the already disfigured formation of the new army, the victory completely fell to the guards and reserves.

For a while, there were shouts of killing, gunshots, and screams. These soldiers in the army were either killed or captured.

The cavalry cruising around the formation of the new army began to move, and they chased the new army that was fleeing in all directions.

When the sun completely set on the western mountain and the whole world was dark, the battle was over.

When the guards and reserve soldiers escorted the captives away, they left behind a devastated land and a place of corpses.

Because Zhang Dong was going to Zhuolu Mountain, in order to save time, he didn't let anyone clean up the battlefield.

The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood mixed together, floating in the air, the wild wolves and dogs could clearly distinguish the smell of blood, and they came here in groups.

When midnight came, it became a carnival for beasts.

At dawn the next day, Zhang Dong left [-] people behind in Chang'an, and then led the rest to Zhuolu Mountain.

……

At the same time, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and the others pitched their tents in an open space.

There was a small river next to the camp. The sun had just risen, and a hundred soldiers with water bags came to the river to fetch water.

Just then, they heard the sound of horseshoes.

The soldiers fetching water hurriedly stopped and kept looking around.

Not long after, dozens of war horses appeared in their field of vision.

The people who appeared were Yebushou who came from Horqin.

After Horqin received the news from Zhang Dong, he sent Yebushou to investigate along the Great Wall.

"This is cavalry. If it doesn't work out, it's from those grassland tribes. Run!" A soldier looked at the cavalry who suddenly appeared, and roared. He didn't even care about the water bag, and ran away.

The small river was not far from the camp, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes was heard in the barracks.

Wu Xiang stood at the door of the Chinese army tent, looking solemnly at the place where the sound of horseshoes came from.

"Father, what's going on?" Wu Sangui asked anxiously.

Wu Xiang said: "I'm afraid it's those prairie cavalry, you take your personal guards and go out to have a look, if it is a prairie cavalry, come back and report to me."

Wu Sangui nodded, hurriedly rushed out with his personal guards.

After Wu Sangui rushed out, Wu Xiang looked at the orderly standing beside him, "Blow the horn and gather troops, those who come are not good!"

Not long after, horns sounded in the camp.

Wu Sangui rode his war horse out of the camp, and just after going out not far, he saw the soldiers running back.

"What's the situation?" Wu Sangui stopped a soldier and asked.

The soldier who was stopped by Wu Sangui hurriedly said: "General, it's cavalry, it's cavalry!"

"How many are there?" Wu Sangui asked again.

"I don't know, I didn't see clearly!" The soldier said hastily.

"Damn it!" Wu Sangui cursed, then turned around and looked at the guard behind him, "Brothers, follow me!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Sangui led his personal guards and rushed out.

Not long after, Wu Sangui saw dozens of cavalry on horses coming towards him.

Those cavalrymen looked at Wu Sangui who was rushing towards him, and instead of choosing to kill him, they turned around and walked around.

Wu Sangui did not choose to pursue either. After seeing the cavalry, he turned around and headed for the camp.

After returning to the barracks, Wu Sangui came to Wu Xiang's big tent.

At this time, Wu Xiang had just put on his armor and walked out of the big tent.

"Father, these cavalry are all wearing armor. Although they don't have banners, my child thinks they must be sent by the grassland tribe." Wu Sangui said solemnly.

Wu Xiang let out a long breath, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "We can't stay here anymore, we can't stay here anymore. These cavalry must have found us. If we stay here any longer, it won't be long. Bandit Zhao The army will come. At that time, we will definitely not be able to escape.

You hurry down now, inform the officers at all levels, and tell them to go east as soon as the team is assembled. "

"Obey!" Wu Sangui cupped his hands at Wu Xiang, and then ran out with his personal guards.

The cavalry outside the big tent stopped two miles away from the big camp.

"These people should be soldiers and horses who went to attack Xuan Town, but because they are a little far away, they can't see their flags clearly, and they don't know who their leading general is." The leading cavalry looked at the camp in front and said road.

"What shall we do now?" asked a cavalryman following him.

"It's a pity that the number of soldiers and horses in our hands is too small, only a few dozen people. If we have more numbers and defeat these soldiers and horses, then we have made a great contribution. How about this, I will lead people to follow these soldiers first People, hurry back and report this matter to the Great Khan. The Great Khan will definitely send troops and horses over." The leading cavalryman looked at the cavalryman who asked the question.

"Obey!" The speaking cavalry saluted, then turned around and left in the same direction as they came and went.

By noon, all the soldiers and horses in the camp were finally assembled.

After the soldiers and horses were assembled, they hurried to the east under the leadership of Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui.

As for the cavalry who came to scout, they followed behind them.

Wu Xiang also sent soldiers and horses to chase and kill these cavalrymen, but when these cavalrymen saw Wu Xiang's cavalrymen coming out, they dodged far away.After the cavalry sent by Wu Xiang retreated, they followed up again.

The cavalry who came to investigate followed Wu Xiang like sticky candies.

Chapter 661 Cao Wenzhao's Method

When Wu Xiang faced these Yebushou who came to investigate, she ran away without even thinking about it.

Now Wu Xiang has no intention of completing Sun Chengzong's task at all, and now he just wants to escape as soon as possible.

I just want to escape from the customs as soon as possible, because Wu Xiang is not willing to face Zhao Wen at all.

As time passed, Wu Xiang fled farther and farther.

At the same time, Zhang Dong also led his troops to Baoan Prefecture.

Baoanzhou is not far from Zhuolu Mountain, on the northern edge of Zhuolu Mountain.

In the afternoon of the second day, Zhang Dong led his troops to the northern periphery of Zhuolu Mountain.

As soon as the army arrived at Zhuolu Mountain, Zhang Dong called the battalion commander who was stationed at Zhuolu Mountain.

In Zhang Dong's big tent, Zhang Dong looked at the battalion commander and asked, "Where are Sun Chengzong and the others now?"

The battalion commander said: "My lord, during the period before you arrived, I sent a large number of Ye Bu Shou to Zhuolu Mountain to investigate the enemy's situation. According to Ye Bu Shou's report, Sun Chengzong and the others have another five or six days to go." It looks like you can get out of Zhuolu Mountain.

Ye Bushou who was sent out also fought against Ye Bushou who was sent by Sun Chengzong. It is estimated that Sun Chengzong has already known that his whereabouts have been leaked. "

According to this progress, if Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui can follow the plan made by Sun Chengzong before, maybe they have already reached Wafanggou by this time.

If Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui attack Wafanggou at this time, maybe they can really attract some of Zhang Dong's attention.

It's a pity, because of Wu Xiang's defeat and Wu Jisheng's defeat, Zhang Dong transferred almost all of his troops to Zhuolu Mountain.

"It's okay, even if Sun Chengzong knows it, he won't use it. Now they are about to leave Zhuolu Mountain. If it were you, would you be willing to retreat at this time? Moreover, even if he retreats, then it means that One battle was a complete failure. Now attacking our Xuanzhen has become the last straw of the imperial court. Do you think Sun Chengzong will retreat at this time?

In my opinion, Sun Chengzong will never retreat at this time.Although Zhuolu Mountain is not high, it also has a great impact on our weapons. " Zhang Dong said.

From Zhang Dong's point of view, Sun Chengzong is now in a difficult position to ride a tiger. Even if he already knows that his whereabouts have been leaked, at this moment, he still has to bite the bullet and move on.

After all, now is the court's last chance. If you give up so easily, there will be no such chance in the future.

The most important thing is that if Sun Chengzong led his troops back to the capital at this time, then Chongzhen might not be able to spare him.

So, no matter what, Sun Chengzong must move forward.

"What does your lord mean?" The battalion commander looked at Zhang Dong and asked thoughtfully.

"Hehe!" Zhang Dong sneered, and said, "Our army is small and we are in a mountainous area. It will take a lot of time to defeat Sun Chengzong. Instead of doing this, we might as well set up a defense line outside Zhuolu Mountain." , quietly waiting for them.

Although Zhuolu Mountain is large, there are only a few roads from Zhuolu Mountain to Xuanzhen.Let's place soldiers and horses on these roads and just wait quietly.

All the officers in the general who are battalion commanders and above have been recruited for me. "

"Obey!" The battalion commander gave a military salute to Zhang Dong, and then retreated.

It didn't take long for Zhang Dong's camp to be full of people.

Looking at the people in the big tent, Zhang Dong pointed to a map of Zhuolu Mountain hanging beside him, and said loudly: "There are only a few exits from Zhuolu Mountain, which are suitable for the army to advance, and the exit that can lead to Xuanzhen is even better." Less. Therefore, we don’t need to enter Zhuolu Mountain to fight with Sun Chengzong and others. We only need to guard these exits. At the same time, set up a wandering army to cruise outside these exits.

Now, I order, Commander of the First Battalion of the Third Regiment of the Guards Army, you lead your troops to garrison at...

Guards cavalry and reserve cavalry are roving soldiers and horses.

This order will take effect immediately from today. Now, everyone will follow my instructions and continue to act. "

"I'll take orders!" The officers in the big tent gave a military salute, and then retreated.
