Chapter 30 Revenge for the Qi Family Army, please read more)
There is one more person.
Wang Xue Shu was so frightened that people almost went crazy and said it involuntarily.
As soon as he said this, everyone else was also terrified, and the already slack military morale was completely shrouded in fear.
"Hurry up and get on your way!" Someone shouted out of nowhere.
He Chao, who was leaning on a pair of iron crutches, screamed and ran away with the crutches.
The others were already frightened and exploded in an instant.
Some took advantage of their small size and disappeared into the woods; some were faster and rushed down the mountain; some simply suffered a mental breakdown and fled back the same way while howling.
Wang Xue Shu still maintained his final calmness and hurriedly fled to the mountain in front of him. There was only one road in this mountain. If there were pursuers, they could use huge rocks and broken trees to block them. As long as they survived the night and escaped to the northwest of the capital, someone could defect to them!
He was thinking intently, and after walking for a while, he looked back and saw that there was another subordinate following him.
fortunately!
The man following him had sound legs and was tall and tall. He was carrying a bag and had both hands free. He was certainly not He Chao, who had a broken leg and was on crutches.
She vaguely felt that something was wrong with He Chao. He had been following him closely. He was the first one to run away just now. It would take one more person to find him...
Wait a moment!
Who shouted "scatter and run" just now?
Wang Xue Shu felt a chill running down his back, and his whole body was already soaked with sweat. He didn't dare to get out of his head and slowly turned his head to look back.
OMG!!!
A young man who was no stranger, with a heroic appearance and a kind smile, unloaded a sledgehammer from his backpack on his back. The metallic luster of the sledgehammer was full of coldness, which was in perfect contrast to his warm smile.
In the deserted mountains, the night wind blew through the trees that had just grown young leaves, and the branches swayed up and down. Under the tree, an uncle in his forties shivered in front of a handsome nineteen-year-old young man.
"...You are Wang Hongyu!"
"Yes, but you are so slow to react~"
"What are you doing to me?"
"Don't you know what you want to do?"
Wang Xue Shu wiped his cold sweat and said in a low voice: "I have done everything you asked me to do, why are you still pestering me?"
"You haven't told us much truth, so I can only keep you safe until today." Wang Hongyu smiled and took a step forward.
"Don't come over here!"
Wang Xueshu was so frightened that he took three steps back. The huge fear almost made him unable to breathe. If his throat was not dry and hot due to fear, he would probably start screaming.
"I want to convince you, tell me who else is behind it~"
Wang Hongyu smiled as he spoke, but his steps suddenly accelerated and he raised the sledgehammer in his hand without hesitation.
"clang!"
The metal collided with a harsh sound, and Wang Xueshu's sword was thrown out.
Wang Xue Shu was frightened just now, but years of experience subconsciously made him draw his sword.
But this was of no use, because Wang Hongyu didn't want to keep him alive, and he would hit him on the head with another hammer.
"Say! I'll tell you everything!"
Yo, I'm convinced~
Of course Wang Hongyu wanted to get to the bottom of it the most, because he didn't like the feeling that the enemy was always in the dark and passive at all times.
"It's Ma Wenqing!
It was Ma Wenqing, the official who stated the ten major crimes of Qi Jiajun, who ordered me and Gao Xueru to deal with the Zhejiang soldiers!" Wang Xueshu was now on Yao Zongwen's boat, so he sold Ma Wenqing at the last moment.
It's him!
Wang Hongyu really knew this person, after all, his friends were not given to him for nothing. He remembered that this person was just trying to gain fame, and he would take on everything and show his uprightness. None of the ten major crimes he committed against the Qi family army could be regarded as worthy of his conscience.
At this moment when he was slightly stunned by the memory, Wang Xue Shu jumped up and climbed up the steep mountain with only one path using his hands and feet.
In the process of climbing, he also found a big stone with his wits, and used all his strength to block it in the rugged part of the mountain road, preventing those behind him from chasing him.
Oops, this mountain climbing speed is really scary.
Wang Hongyu smiled, holding a hammer and guarding the path without pursuing him.
Wang Xue Shu ran wildly along the path and made a half circle to reach the mountainside.
Looking back, I realized that I had left Wang Hongyu behind, and I could finally take a breath and think for a while.
But before I could think about it, I saw a large fire on the plain on the south side of the mountain. It looked like there were thousands of torches and bonfires, and it was as bright as day.
"What's going on? I was so focused on running for my life that I didn't notice..."
…
At the same time, 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers and thousands of Sichuan soldiers gathered here and formed a battle formation facing this steep mountain.
The gray-haired old general Qi Jin, after inspecting the formation, rode up to the three civilian officials next to him and said: "The actual combat drill is ready!"
These three civil servants were Yao Zongwen, Xu Guangqi and Hong Chengchou.
Wang Hongyu had already planned this drill. He wanted to find a hilltop and use bird cannons, fire cannons, and artillery to clear the ground. He also specifically chose it at night to simulate fighting against Jiannu, who was good at field warfare.
Two years ago, Juniper's main force in Jizhen fought against the Eight Banners at night. All kinds of firearms required torches to ignite, and they were heavily killed by Jiannu archers who did not need torches.
Today's Zhejiang soldiers, who mainly use firearms, must overcome the difficulties of night fighting.
Of course, this night is not only about doing this, but also about sending Wang Xue Shu to heaven.
"May I ask General Qi, why did you choose this midnight drill?" Yao Zongwen knew nothing about military affairs and asked this question in confusion.
Qi Jin said loudly: "In order to avenge the brothers of Saarhu, in order to overcome the disadvantages of night fighting with firearms, and in order to conquer the slaves and stabilize the frontier as soon as possible! Therefore, we specially choose late night to practice firearms to defeat the enemy!"
"May I ask if the thousands of torches and bonfires around the military formation are meant to interfere with the enemy's sight?" Hong Chengchou was still very immature, but he had some military intuition.
"Exactly! The Jizhen muskets of General Jun Song of Jilin Ya were shot down one by one by Jiannu archers holding torches in the dark night.
Now, instead of hiding the torches, our troops create a fifty-foot-wide light barrier around them. The thieves will appear when they get close to the torches, and the musketeers behind them cannot be seen clearly through the light."
Qi Jin talked about it, this move is to use light to cover the matchlock soldiers, the principle is similar to that of darkness under the lamp.
Hong Chengchou nodded silently and wrote this down in his mind. Xu Guangqi had already understood it, but Yao Zongwen couldn't understand what was being said at all.
After the introduction, Qi Jin did not hesitate and returned to the military formation to wait for the signal. Not long after, a cannon sounded from the side of the mountain, and everything was ready.
"All ministries obey orders! Guns and artillery are in position! Gun formations cover!"
"yes!"
The Zhejiang soldiers were in high spirits, with their cannons raised towards the mountains, large and small general cannons, and light and heavy Folang machines all loaded with ammunition.
"No, no, no! There is someone on the mountain!"
There was a vague sound coming from the mountain.
Some people faintly heard it, but the three soldiers and horses were in strict discipline and no one paid attention.
There are also a small number of Zhejiang soldiers and veterans who are murderous.
Qi Jin suddenly looked determined, tears streaked down his weather-beaten face, and he yelled with all his strength: "Let go!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom!" This chapter has been completed!
