Forced by the strong attack of the fusiliers, Jianlu retreated involuntarily. The artillery of the carriage camp immediately unleashed its power, shaking the fields, and Jianlu, who was in desperate situation, completely lost his fighting spirit.
Some people tried to escape by jumping into the river, but most of them ran towards the mountain on the right. They didn't need their horses or equipment, just to escape into the forest as early as possible.
The new army had a large number of fusiliers, so they rolled very quickly. Jianlu gave up resistance and accelerated their attack.
Cao Wenzhao, who was in Niuzhuangyi, saw that Jianlu's defeat was certain, so he ordered the bombardment to stop.
Zu Dashou and He Kegang, who were standing on one side, immediately sent out spearmen and formed a formation to attack the Jianlu who had fled to both sides.
When the war situation reached this point, there were no surprises. The Jianlu army was easily defeated, which made Zu Dashou and He Kegang very excited.
In the past, I always felt that the Jianlu were very powerful and fought without regard for their own safety. Even if they were one against three, they would rush into the Ming army without hesitation.
But now they saw that the New Army seemed to have strong self-confidence, and slaughtered Jianlu as easily as killing chickens and ducks. However, under the offensive of the New Army, Jianlu could not die together even if they wanted to, and they were shot by muskets from a distance.
In the middle, he will not die but will be disabled.
It was the first time they realized that muskets could be so powerful. It was also the first time they felt that the Jianlu were nothing more than that. When they encountered the equally brave new army, they would also show fear and run away.
When it was getting dark, the war ended, and except for a few who escaped into the mountains and forests, everyone else was basically wiped out.
The soldiers of Guan Ning Army were very excited while cleaning the battlefield, and secretly admired that fighting could be so easy.
At this time, several leaders of the Ming army gathered around Zhong Jinwei, listening to his arrangements for the next battle.
Just listen to Zhong Jinwei say to Hu Hao, the captain of the "Perak" brigade: "After you win, you must hold on. Avoid the new army's strong attack, so that Haizhou City can be destroyed as little as possible, otherwise it will take a lot of time to repair.
.”
After hearing this, Hu Hao immediately clasped his fists and replied loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I promise to complete the task."
Zhong Jinwei nodded, then turned to Cao Wenzhao and said: "The carriage camp must speed up to catch up with the troops. You can let the light artillery leave the carriage camp and catch up first. Only artillery is the biggest killer against Jianlu, and it is the only one.
Only in this way can we block Jianlu's attack. Success or failure depends on whether the car camp can catch up in time, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, Che Ying will definitely catch up in time." Cao Wenzhao also clasped his fists and promised.
Zhong Jinwei then told Chen Yukang, a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu: "You Jinyiwei political commissar must do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers. You must do your best to overcome the difficulties of the muddy road and come to support as soon as possible."
Chen Yukang also received the order loudly: "Yes, Lord Marquis."
Finally, Zhong Jinwei turned to look at Zu Dashou and He Kegang, was silent for a while, and then said: "The most difficult time of the entire war has arrived. Your speed determines the pressure on the new army. If you complete it earlier, the new army will be able to evacuate earlier. I have said the rest.
I’ve said it before, so I won’t say it again. I hope we can have a pleasant time when we meet next time.”
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, the general will make arrangements soon." Zu Dashou replied loudly. He knew what Zhongxing Hou meant by his words, which was to remind himself again of the power he held in his hands.
He Kegang also expressed his position: "The Marquis bought us one night. The general and his men will not take a nap until they arrive in Haizhou."
Next, it is time to test all the Ming troops who went on the expedition. Everyone must try their best to ensure the final victory of this war.
The four children all followed Cao Wenzhao and were a little worried when they saw Marquis Zhongxing leading his fusilier troops away.
"General Cao, will something happen to my uncle?" Ai Nengqi raised his head and asked Cao Wenzhao.
After hearing this, Cao Wenzhao looked down at Ai Nengqi, then looked up at the moonlight in the sky, and finally said: "You see, the moonlight tonight is good, which will greatly benefit our night operations. So you can rest assured,
This battle will definitely be won, and nothing will happen to the Marquis."
Cao Wenzhao answered with reason and evidence, which reassured the four children. However, Li Dingguo still reminded Cao Wenzhao: "General Cao, let's leave quickly!"
Cao Wenzhao smiled and thought to himself, it takes a young guy like you to remind him. However, he did not say it out loud and immediately ordered the car camp to hurry up and hurry up.
When the sky was dimming, Jianlu of Haizhou City suddenly noticed movement coming from the official road.
The soldiers who were on duty at the city head immediately went to the archery tower to report, and Turg's deputy stayed here overnight, waiting for Turg's triumphant return.
As soon as he heard the movement, he quickly came out to investigate. He found that a cavalry army was coming towards Haizhou City.
The city suddenly became busy and began to be on guard.
The cavalry army quickly approached Haizhou City and showed no intention of slowing down after entering the firing range of Haizhou City.
Jianlu, who had good eyesight on the top of the city, could see clearly clearly and loudly exclaimed: "It's one of our own."
I saw that this cavalry army of more than a hundred people was in a state of disarray. Many of their helmets had fallen off, revealing the money rat tails on their heads, and some even had a few arrows stuck in their bodies.
As soon as they arrived at the moat, the leader shouted loudly in Jurchen language to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate.
There was a hint of hoarseness in the voice, and there was some fear. More than one person was speaking in Jurchen, so the people on the top of the city could not hear clearly.
What they probably heard was that they were defeated and the Ming army was chasing them, so they should be let into the city quickly.
At this time, the Jianlu soldiers on the top of the city noticed another army approaching from a distance, appearing in their sights one after another.
The defeated soldiers outside the city turned to look at the pursuers behind them, and became even more anxious. They all shouted in Jurchen dialect to release the drawbridge and open the city gate.
Turg's deputy was worried about Turg's whereabouts. He also saw a large group of cavalry approaching in the distance. He knew that if the city gate was not opened, there might be no chance of opening the city gate.
Therefore, he did not doubt that it was there, and quickly ordered them to be let in. At the same time, he ordered his men to call the leader up, and he wanted to ask about Turg's whereabouts.
As soon as more than a hundred defeated soldiers were put into the city, a change immediately occurred.
The Jianlu at the city gate were immediately killed by them, and then they went to the top of the city to kill them.
Turg's deputy couldn't figure out what was going on. He didn't know why these people of the same race were killing their own people. No matter what, they must first regain control of the city gate.
When the Jianlu soldiers swarmed up, the defeated soldiers suddenly took out the three-eyed blunderbuss unique to the Ming army. They fired a series of shots at such a close range, immediately knocking down a large number of Jianlu soldiers, and the city gate immediately became empty.
Only then did Turg's deputy realize that these defeated soldiers were disguised as Ming soldiers. He was not surprised that the Ming soldiers would shave their "money rat tail" hairstyle, which the Ming people considered to be insulting to their ancestors, and wanted to organize another attack.
Come down and grab the city gate.
But these pretended Ming troops suddenly threw something that looked like an enemy of ten thousand people and exploded in the sky above the Jianlu army. For a moment, the dust scattered in the air covered many places, making all the Jianlu soldiers cry.
My nose was runny and I kept sneezing, so I couldn't care less about the war.
The few Jianlu who were not covered by the red and white powder turned their heads and looked outside the city, lamenting in their hearts: "It's over!"
