The terrain in Changzhou is flat, and there are some good places for ambushes, but the lack of them does not mean that there are none. There is a hill ten miles north of the city. There are dense pine forests on the mountains, which are suitable for hiding troops. There is a small river at the foot of the mountain. Although it is not very wide, it is
It's enough to drown people.
The Han army's ambush was hidden in this dense forest. The five thousand elite soldiers were all brought from the northwest. They were all good at horse and foot combat. They packed up and down neatly and tied their leggings tightly.
Equipped with ground, sword, fire blunderbuss, crossbows and spears, Hao Yaoqi stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the scene below through the lush pine branches. Smoke and dust billowed in the distance, which was clearly the arrival of the army. Hao Yaoqi grinned widely.
He started to smile and said, "I faked my last name twice, and the enemy fell into the trap."
The one who acted as the bait was also one of Liu Zongmin's men. This was an uncomfortable job. How could a man from the northwest be so scared that he would be beaten?
He threw away his armor, weapons, and flags, and ran slowly and leisurely ahead, keeping aloof from his pursuers, which attracted the reckless Shanghai navy to the vicinity of the ambush circle.
"Give me the order to prepare for war. This time I'm going to stew the elite soldiers in one pot. Let's see what else they can do." Hao Yaoqi stroked his tough beard and laughed again.
This time they brought a lot of fire starters, fire oil, bombs, etc., and planned to launch a fire attack to burn the Shanghai Navy to death at the foot of the mountain. As long as the "broken troops" in front were released, an attack would immediately take place on the mountain.
, small artillery fire, muskets and rockets were fired together, and then the fierce fire oil was poured down. No matter how blessed they were by the gods, they could not escape from the palm of their hands. This time they were sure to win.
Seeing that the ambush circle was in front of them, the defeated soldiers ran very fast and quickly fled into the recess between the hill and the river, waiting for the pursuers to come in and then return to attack. But what surprised them was that the pursuers were actually there.
Outside the ambush circle, they stood still and the fire rifle soldiers lay down on the spot and began to take a defensive posture.
Hao Yaoqi was also puzzled on the mountain. He never put down his raised hand. What was going on? Did they see any clues? If he rushes out rashly now, there is no chance of winning. He was hesitating and thinking. Suddenly,
There was a buzzing sound in the sky, as unpleasant as mosquitoes on a summer night. Hao Yaoqi looked up and saw a dark flock of large birds flying over from the south.
This thing is incredible. It’s called the Flying God Wing. It’s a guy who can kill people. Hao Yaoqi knows about powered parafoils. This kind of sharp weapon is also available in the Nanjing warehouse, but it’s a high-precision weapon. It’s hard to find anyone to operate it.
, so I didn’t bring it out. This thing suddenly came out from the south. Could it be that it was aimed at me?
Hao Yaoqi's brain was quite quick, so he yelled that it was wrong, and the brothers quickly shouted, but it was already too late. The parafoil was so fast, and he flew to the mountain in a blink of an eye, and dropped bombs one after another.
The bomb hit the hill with a shrill whistle, immediately causing a burst of fire. This was no ordinary bomb. Because of the dense forest, the power of ordinary explosive bombs was greatly affected, so the parafoil pylons were full of incendiary bombs, mixed together.
The sawdust and fire oil bombs were frighteningly powerful. In addition, there were dense pine forests on the mountain. The pine trees themselves contained oil and could easily catch fire. Now Hao Yaoqi's brothers were all turned into roast pigs, crying for their father and mother.
Running around everywhere, the killing weapons they prepared became accomplices in killing themselves. Flames shot into the sky, explosions continued, and no one knew how many people died at that time.
The troop that acted as a bait earlier was about to launch a counterattack, but was frightened by the situation at this time. They were plotting against others. They didn't expect to be plotted against by others. How could there be any truth in this matter?
While they were hesitating, several powered parafoils flew towards them, and the bombs were dropped head-on, causing them to explode immediately. The soldiers who were still hesitating at first shouted and ran away, but this time they were really defeated.
Besides, in Changzhou City, Maopizhang's army roared in, but Maopizhang himself kept a cautious eye and stayed outside the city with a team of troops. He wanted to wait until the overall situation was decided before entering the city, in case there were changes.
Wu Sangui, this idiot, fainted when Yuanyuan tried to look nice to him. He was really childish. Did he really think that I would give Yuanyuan to him when the matter was done? Huh! When Changzhou gets it, he will be killed to avoid future troubles.
Think hard.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a noise in the city, intensive sound of firecrackers and shouts of people and horses neighing. Looking through the city gate, it was obvious that the army that had just entered had been ambushed. Some people near the city gate were desperately trying to get there.
They fled back, but the thousand-jin gate on the city gate fell with a bang, completely extinguishing their hope of escape. One person was even crushed in two by the thousand-jin gate. His body was outside the city, but his legs were still inside the city. He was not dead yet.
, screaming and crawling out, with a trail of blood behind him, and his intestines flowing out far away.
What Mao Bizhang saw was shocking, and he was dumbfounded. Suddenly he heard a roar: "Mao Bizhang!" He subconsciously looked up, but saw a tiger general on the top of the city glaring at him with a helmet pierced through his armor. Behind him,
The word "Wu" is written on the banner. Who else could it be if it were not the Wu Sangui whom he had manipulated?
Wu Sangui held a blunderbuss made of refined steel pipe in his hand, with excellent accuracy. Facing his deep-rooted enemy, he picked up the blunderbuss, locked Mao Pizhang's head into the sight, and pulled the trigger. The bullet carried the hatred of a heartbroken man.
Flying towards Maopizheng.
It stands to reason that Maopizhang cannot be avoided, but these days, the accuracy and range of fire cannons are limited, and the distance is indeed too far, so the bullets just flew over the top of Maopizhang's head.
Although he missed, Maopizhuang was still so frightened that the bullet knocked off his scarf, his hair was spread out, and his scalp hurt. He was so flustered that he turned his horse around and ran away. At this time, the city was in chaos.
They were busy gathering the surrendered troops all over the ground, but they couldn't open the city to pursue them, so they had to watch and flee.
Liu Zongmin had never been so angry in his nearly forty years. He came up with a brilliant plan that not only failed to capture Changzhou Prefecture, but also killed thousands of his elite soldiers. Even Hao Yaoqi was burned like a pig's head.
Fortunately, he was rescued by his subordinates, but it seemed that he only had a few days to live.
"The one with the surname Mao is just kidding me!" Liu Zongmin roared viciously, scanning his eyes for a week, then suddenly pulled out his sword and said: "Brothers, follow me, kill the one with the surname Mao to avenge the flag waver!"
Mao Pizheng also suffered a big loss. All his troops were lost in Changzhou City, and there were only a few hundred soldiers left, all of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled. Since Changzhou was defeated, it goes without saying that the Han army's ambush could not withstand it.
Good thing. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He rushed to the tent where Chen Yuanyuan was and kicked open the door.
Chen Yuanyuan saw Mao Bizhang's embarrassed look and said hurriedly: "Mao Lang, what's going on?"
Mao Pizhang said bitterly: "Isn't it thanks to your old friend Wu Sangui! Someone came up with a trick and bit me back. Huh, it seems that I don't have you in my heart at all."
Chen Yuanyuan burst into tears immediately. She really felt aggrieved by this matter. She didn't want to see Wu Sangui, but he forced her to do so. Now that he failed, he came to blame herself. What a big deal.
But seeing Ai Lang being angry, Chen Yuanyuan still said softly: "Mao Lang, it's all because of my bad health. If we're defeated, let's just regroup and fight again. Aren't there Liu Zongmin and the others? As long as you don't get angry, it'll be fine."
.”
Mao Bizhang snorted coldly and turned his back to show off. Suddenly he heard the sound of dense footsteps outside, from far to near, like muffled thunder. A soldier rushed in with a pale face and said: "Master Mao, it's not good, the Han army
Called over."
Mao Bizhang felt bad and rushed out, only to see Liu Zongmin leading a group of people coming with murderous intent. The soldiers on his side dared to stop them as they were about to approach.
You are trying to kill me! Mao Bizhang broke out in a cold sweat. There happened to be a rouge horse tied next to the tent. It was Chen Yuanyuan's mount, a mare with a docile personality. Mao Bizhang hurriedly untied the reins and got on the horse.
.
Chen Yuanyuan also heard the commotion and came out to watch. She had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and her legs became weak.
Mao Pizhang was still conscientious, so he carried Chen Yuanyuan onto the horse and galloped away.
"The stupid horse has run away, give me a chase!" Liu Zongmin yelled, and his men looked around for the horses. Fortunately, the stables were nearby, and they found a dozen horses without saddles. Liu Zongmin led ten horses with superb equestrian skills.
His subordinates gave chase.
Mao Bizhang was originally a scholar, and his equestrian skills were naturally poor. In addition, this rouge horse had poor load-bearing capacity, so it was obvious that it could not run fast while carrying two people. When he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, Mao Bizhang became very anxious, and Chen Yuanyuan in his arms was frightened.
She tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, tears streaming down her face, which made Maopizhang feel angry.
This woman is unlucky. It was because of her that she was unable to join the officialdom for several years. It was also because of her that her son was thrown to death. It was also because of her that a battle that was obviously winnable became a miserable defeat. And now it is because of her.
, even the chance of escape has become slim.
Why should a man be without a wife! Come on! Come on! Come on!
Mao Bizhuang gritted his teeth, threw Chen Yuanyuan off the horse, and walked away without even looking at him. The rouge horse suddenly took off the pressure, naturally accelerated its speed, and ran away in a flash.
The horses of Liu Zongmin and others did not have saddles, so their control ability was naturally reduced. In addition, they were worried about the old camp and did not want to pursue them to the end. Now when they saw a charming woman falling off the horse, they immediately stopped.
When he saw Chen Yuanyuan, Liu Zongmin, who was originally angry, started to smile again: "She must be the bitch raised by Mao'er's family. She is really pretty, that's all. Let's just think that Mao'er left her to pay off her debts."
Chen Yuanyuan was a famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River and the number one in Qinhuai. She had never seen a rough guy like Liu Zongmin. Although she fell off the horse and was dizzy, she was still conscious. When she saw a bearded man coming towards her, she immediately covered her chest and said:
"Don't come over here. My husband is the chief minister of the cabinet. He won't let you go."
"What the hell cabinet? It's not just dough in my hands. You can knead it however you want. Do you know who I am? I'm the famous King of Han." Liu Zongmin jumped up like a hungry tiger.
Originally, he wanted to take Chen Yuanyuan back to the camp and enjoy it, but Chen Yuanyuan's scream aroused Liu Zongmin's passion. He couldn't wait that long and wanted to execute Chen Yuanyuan on the spot. He was his brother and there was nothing to avoid. Liu Zongmin
While tearing Chen Yuanyuan's clothes, he laughed and said: "Young men, this time I won't eat alone. Everyone has a share, and everyone can taste the flavor of Mao Ge's wife."
All the troops cheered in unison, swallowing their saliva and looking at Chen Yuanyuan's white thighs. They didn't notice that a fire was already burning in the barracks in the distance. It was very traditional for them to do this. They lined up in a line according to their seniority and all wore their pants.
She untied her belt and waited eagerly. Chen Yuanyuan's scream over there was already hoarse. Whether she was in the Wu family or the Mao family, she was served by stars like stars holding the moon in their arms. Where have I ever seen such a scene?
"Liu Zongmin, no matter how cheap Chen Yuanyuan is, it won't be your turn." A voice sounded leisurely.
