Chapter 89 The Great War(1/2)

 Huangtong was hungry during his years,

Thousands of households are frowning.

Mouth but no meal,

Tears turn into beads.

Disaster, disaster.

How to avoid disaster.

There is no disaster in the world more terrible than not having food to eat. A stubborn man will still be so hungry that his eyes are filled with stars if he does not eat for a day. No matter how capable the commander is, if he does not give food to his soldiers, you see Are they making trouble?

Sun Kewang, the commander-in-chief of the Great Western Army, has been very upset recently. He has less than two months of rations.

The original plan was to seize Guizhou quickly and establish dominance. Unexpectedly, an army of 200,000 troops was sent to Guiyang, with people eating horses and chewing, and the food and grass consumption was staggering.

We must fight decisively with the army as soon as possible!

Sun Kewang was worrying about food and grass when he suddenly reported that the main force of the Ming army was going to attack Xifeng Station.

"His Royal Highness, Supervisor, is so vicious! He wants to cut off our army's retreat! However, the main force of the Ming army is far away, which is a good opportunity to attack Zazuo City. If we capture Zazuo City, we will have food!"

Sun Kewang called together Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Wang Shangli, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli, Wang Dingguo, Zhang Hualong and other generals for discussion. It was not a discussion, but a way to boost morale and prepare for a decisive battle.

"All of you here are old brothers. I won't hide it from everyone. Our army's rations are less than two months. We must fight the Ming army as soon as possible. Now that the main force of the Ming army is going to attack Xifengsuo, it is a good opportunity to capture Zazuo City. .Generals, are you willing to follow me to capture Zazuo City and fight for a way out for the entire army?"

"We are willing to fight to the death with the commander!"

Li Dingguo frowned and thought for a moment: "Brother, the Ming army has sharp guns and cannons. If you want to fight, you must use all your strength."

"My second brother's words are very much in line with my wishes."

Sun Kewang ordered Feng Shuangli and Wang Dingguo to lead 20,000 troops to contain An Kun of Longchangyi. He personally led an army of 110,000 to Zhazuo City.

Zhu Hengjia used Zheng Feng's plan and pretended to destroy the beacon. Halfway through, he sneaked back to Zazuo City. He closed the city gate tightly, blocked the news, and quietly waited for Sun Kewang's army.

??

When golden maple and jade dew meet, they will defeat countless people in the world.

The two armies met thirty miles outside Zazuo City.

There was silence, and there was a murderous atmosphere in the air.

Minister Zhao of the Great Western Army licked his lips and clenched his sword tightly as a habit.

Minister Zhao was originally from Zhaojiazhuang, Xiangyang Prefecture. That year, the boss Wang Zhang Xianzhong attacked Xiangyang, and the whole village was turned into rogues. His father, mother, younger brother, younger sister... all the family members died in the rebellion one by one, and only the remaining Let him be the next one. At first, he hated the Daxi thief so much, but slowly, he became a thief himself, still a small flag, in charge of ten people.

In the past few years, he has robbed two wives and given birth to children, but they were all scattered among the rebels. He had no choice but to have a future as a thief. The boss, Wang, killed his wife and children, and only accepted four godsons.

, let alone a pawn like myself.

"When Guiyang is conquered, I must snatch another wife to leave a queen for the old Zhao family!" Minister Zhao thought.

"Brother Minister, what are the cars on the Ming Army side?" Zhao Huzi from the same village asked him secretly.

Minister Zhao glared at Zhao Huzi: "Don't talk in the battle formation, be careful of Ping Dongwang's military law."

In the formation of the Ming army, Commander Yu Zhong was putting on his armor in a leisurely manner. He was from Liuzhou, Guangxi, and joined the army when the supervisor of the country was fighting against Chen Bangchuan.

He is a veteran, and he has been promoted very high for his meritorious service. The prison government treats soldiers very well. Not only does he receive a promotion for his meritorious service, he is also rewarded with silver and farmland. He was also rewarded with a hundred acres of meritorious land for his meritorious service, and his whole family lived a good life.

.

"The second brother is already a grown man. In this battle, I must make more military exploits, receive the reward, and marry the second brother a wife," Yu Zhong thought.

??

"Bring out the king's flag!"

The goal of inducing the Daxi Army to fight in Zazuo City has been achieved, and Zhu Hengjia no longer hides it.

"Chitose!" "Chitose!" "Chitose!"

The Ming army roared like a tsunami and their morale was like a rainbow.

Seeing the dragon-coiled banner in the Ming army, Sun Kewang knew that he had been fooled. But when the two armies met, the brave would win, and a big battle was imminent, so there was no reason to retreat.

If you want to fight, I will fight!

Sun Kewang gritted his teeth and carefully observed the Ming army's formation.

The Ming army's military formation consisted of three square formations on the left, middle and right. The middle square formation was large and the two wing square formations were small. The three square formations formed a long "one" character.

"To shoot the man first, shoot the horse; to capture the thief first capture the king."

Sun Kewang decided to concentrate his forces to attack Zhu Hengjia's Chinese army. He issued a military order and the flag officer raised the flag.

Following the order, Li Dingguo's 20,000 troops moved to Wang Xiang's department on the right wing of the Ming army; Ai Nengqi's 20,000 troops moved to Fan Youxian's department on the left wing of the Ming army; his main force of 70,000 slowly approached Zhu Hengjia's center.

King vs. King.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The war drum sounded.

One cart after another slowly pushed toward the Ming army's formation. Daxi's soldiers lined up in a long line, hiding behind the carts, and marched one after another.

This is an old strategy for dealing with cannons and artillery. The infantry uses the cart as a cover, approaches the military formation, and then breaks out from behind the cart.

After hearing what Li Dingguo said about the powerful guns and artillery of the Ming army, Sun Kewang did not dare to form a dense formation. Instead, he increased the distance between the battalions and launched a charge in battalion units.

Because the formation was sparse, looking from a distance, the Western Army's battle formation was actually ten miles long.

Holding up the telescope, Zhu Hengjia secretly sighed: "Sun Kewang is also an outstanding person!"

This formation can effectively reduce the losses caused by cannons.

Zhao Erhu, deputy general of the vehicle and artillery battalion, issued the order.

The soldiers of the Ming army quickly put down the four legs of the side carriage, which can be retracted and retracted. Although the side carriage only has two wheels, with these four legs, it is equivalent to six points of support, which is very stable.

.

Yu Zhong used the sight to direct the gunner to adjust the firing angle of the Qianjin Fran machine.

There are many models of Fran cannons in the Ming army. This type of Fran cannon is the most powerful fortress-type Fran machine, also known as the thousand-jin Fran machine. It can be used as a siege cannon, not to mention a small launch vehicle.<

/p>

Yu Zhong saw the flag waving and immediately shouted: "Shoot!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The advantage of the Franco gun is that it has a fast rate of fire, fast heat dissipation, and is not easy to explode. After firing one round, replace it with another and continue firing.

Kisses of death one after another, kissed the soldiers of the Western Army.

"Boom!" A truck was blown apart.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Ah!" A soldier was lifted into the sky.

Minister Zhao bit his lip, held up the shield, hunched his waist, and followed closely behind a carriage.

This carriage was lucky to have escaped the Ming army's heavy artillery.

"Bang! Bah! Bah!"

The Ming army's squatting tiger artillery showed its power.

This kind of cannon is very weird. Either it misses, or if it hits, there will be countless wounds on the body and the pain will be excruciating.

With a "pop" sound, a shell hit the carriage in front of Minister Zhao, killing a driver.

Minister Zhao thought the car was finished. Unexpectedly, the remaining drivers pushed the car up again, but it was only severely damaged and did not fall apart.

"Grandma's", Minister Zhao spat and continued to follow.

A dark cloud flew in the sky, which was a rocket from the Ming army.

"Raise your shield quickly!" Minister Zhao reminded his subordinates of this small flag.

"Ah!"

He heard the screams of fellow countryman Zhao Huzi. Zhao Huzi was nailed to the ground by a rocket and saw that he would not survive.

Minister Zhao did not dare to stay. Every time he stayed for a while, he would be one step closer to death.

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"

Like beans falling apart, the Ming army's muskets rang out.

Zhu Hengjia's Chinese army had 14,400 gunmen, divided into three rows, with 4,800 men in each row.

Row after row, shooting in sections, the bullets rained continuously.

With a "bang" sound, the scarred carriage in front of Minister Zhao finally fell apart.

At this time, he was only forty steps away from the Ming army.

"Go!"

Minister Zhao held up a shield with his left hand to protect his chest, drew his sword with his right hand, and rushed towards the Ming army's formation.
