The next day, Luo Zhending actually led his troops to attack.
Luo Zhending led two thousand regular soldiers and four hundred servants in the general barracks to kill Fanjiazhuang in the name of Li Zhi's secret possession of Dongnu and refused to search. This posture made the entire Tianjin officials dumbfounded and secretly said this
Luo Zhending's attack was really ruthless. If Li Zhi resisted with such heavy troops, it would be a rebellion. If he didn't resist, the glass workshop, soap workshop, etc. would not be saved.
The whole Tianjin was waiting eagerly, wondering how Li Zhi would deal with such a situation. Various military attachés sent troops to Fanjiazhuang overnight to observe the progress of the situation. For a time, sentries and cavalry gathered in front of Fanjiazhuang.
When Luo Zhending was twenty miles away from Fanjiazhuang, Li Zhi's scouts reported the intelligence of Luo Zhending's attack to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi paced back and forth in the guerrilla general's house, making the final decision.
Luo Zhending's troops were nothing, and Li Zhi was confident that he could defeat him by sending a thousand men. But what Li Zhi was worried about was that Luo Zhending said that his attack on Shangguan was a rebellion.
Attacking Shangguan's troops and horses is a big or small matter.
But if he doesn't fight against Luo Zhending, all the secret recipes he has in Fanjiazhuang will be stolen by Luo Zhending. Then someone will be able to produce the same soap, glass and cheap fine cloth as himself, and his income will plummet. The Selection Group and the Polu Group
If the soldiers themselves can no longer support themselves, all the capital they have gained to make a difference in this era will fall into the hands of others.
From then on, I was just a mediocre guerrilla, and could be dragged down by other military attachés at any time because of my incompetence. I was promoted to six levels in a row, and I don’t know how many people were envious of me. It is said that anything good in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, and I was criticized by others.
It's almost inevitable.
Li Zhi didn't want to end the game like this.
While Li Zhi was thinking, another group of scouts ran back from the field and said loudly: "Sir! The general's troops have attacked ten miles away!"
Finally, Li Zhi made up his mind.
This day will come sooner or later. Sooner or later, he will have to rely on his strength to go head-to-head with his enemies. Li Zhi cannot always rely on bribing senior officials to suppress his coveted people. He Shishou's personal ethics is very good, but other high-ranking people may not necessarily do so. Sooner or later, someone will challenge him. Just a common man.
Even if he recruits a killer and assassinates a coveted person without being discovered, there will be a second and third coveted person. Li Zhi does not have the ability to assassinate all enemies. As a time traveler, assassination is not
Li Zhi’s strengths.
Li Zhi's strength is the powerful Mini rifle in his hand. This is Li Zhi's strength.
If he didn't rely on his own strength to declare the world, and if he didn't rely on his strength to get through today's level, Li Zhi's rise would be nothing more than a mirror image.
And to be fair, even if Luo Zhending said he was rebelling, he would be considered a rebel. Even if he defeated Luo Zhending's general barracks, it would still be up to the emperor to judge whether he was rebelling. For such a powerful army that has repeatedly made military exploits,
Is the emperor willing to force himself to go to Liangshan? Li Zhi judged that even if he killed the soldiers in the general barracks, the emperor would not punish him in any way.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is besieged on all sides, and good generals with strength and loyalty are really scarce. Even the great pirate Zheng Zhilong, who killed countless officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, was not properly recruited in the end, and his career was smooth.
Li Zhi killed Yang Guli, a top official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Ma Shouying, an old Hui Hui. He had outstanding achievements and was confident that he was more valuable than Zheng Zhilong, and he would not be easily labeled as a "rebel" by the emperor!
Li Zhi made up his mind, put on the flying fish suit given by the emperor, wore the jade belt given by the emperor, put on his cloak and walked out of the official hall, shouting loudly: "Follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"
The messenger rushed to the military camp and passed on Li Zhi's order. Two thousand veterans obeyed the order without hesitation and followed Li Zhi out of Fanjiazhuang.
Eight miles, six miles, four miles away from the enemy.
Zheng Kaicheng rode beside Li Zhi, looked at the Feiyu suit on Li Zhi, and said, "Sir! Then Luo Zhending framed us for rebellion!"
Li Zhi asked: "Are you afraid if I rebel?"
Zheng Kaicheng's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid. Even if you become a thief, I will follow you!"
Zhong Feng rode aside and said excitedly: "If you become a general on your own, you will be given the title of general!"
Li Laosi said calmly: "No matter what my boss does, Li Laosi will follow it!"
Seeing that his subordinates were loyal and reliable, Li Zhi laughed heartily.
Three miles, two miles, one mile away from Luo Zhending's troops, we could already see the billowing smoke and dust raised by the troops and horses of the general barracks in front.
Li Zhi secretly thought that Luo Zhending was looking for death, and shouted loudly: "The selected vanguard group is loaded and ready to fight!"
Li Zhi looked through the telescope and saw Luo Zhending's Chinese army flag far behind the soldiers in the general barracks. Obviously Luo Zhending was very afraid of being killed by Li Zhi's artillery fire. The commander was so timid, what combat effectiveness did such an army have?
The distances were four hundred meters, three hundred meters, and two hundred meters. The soldiers in the general barracks did not know that they had entered the shooting range of the vanguard selection group. One of Luo Zhending's staff jumped out on horseback and shouted loudly between the two armies: "Guerrilla generals can
Think clearly, the soldiers and horses fighting against the general are rebelling! That is the act of killing the Nine Tribes!"
Li Zhi cursed loudly: "If I rebel, the emperor has no choice but to kill me or not. The first person to die is Luo Zhending, who forced me to rebel! And you, the aides who encourage me!"
When the staff member heard Li Zhi's words, he looked at Li Zhi's imperial flying fish uniform and his face suddenly turned pale.
The emperor also knew about Li Zhi's repeated military exploits and strength, so he gave him a flying fish suit and a jade belt. It was in the early Ming Dynasty that the nine tribes were killed if they rebelled. According to the current situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if Li Zhi is really
If he rebels, the emperor will probably appease him. But if he forces the powerful Li Zhi to rebel, the commander-in-chief Luo Zhending will definitely not be able to escape the emperor's wrath. Everyone in Tianjin will see what Luo Zhending does.
In his eyes, he was just a worthless ordinary military attache. He was putting himself in a dead end by engaging in such a big battle.
Luo Zhending thought that Li Zhi would not dare to rebel, so he persecuted him so harshly. He did not expect that Li Zhi was so tough and was really not even afraid of rebellion. Luo Zhending was shooting himself in the foot.
The aide stopped talking and rode his horse to escape. However, Li Zhi did not let him go and shouted: "Beat him to death!"
The ten soldiers of the Selection Regiment beside Li Zhi opened fire, and blood splattered all over the staff member's body. He was beaten into a hornet's nest and fell off his horse.
When the general soldiers saw Li Zhi opening fire, they were all shocked. They shouted loudly: "Fanjiazhuang killed someone!"
"Fanjiazhuang has rebelled!"
"Li Zhi rebelled!"
Li Zhi was irritated by the complicit soldiers in the general barracks, and asked the vanguard group to continue to press forward. Only a hundred meters away from Luo Zhending's troops, Li Zhi shouted loudly: "Shoot!"
The Chinese army's horn sounded, and the 625 soldiers in the first row raised their muskets and fired bullets at the enemy a hundred meters away.
With a crackling sound, smoke spewed out, and 625 rounds of bullets were fired at the shivering general barracks. The distance was very close, and the bullets hit nearly 500 soldiers at once. The front row of Luo Zhending's army looked like
It fell down like thatch blown by the strong wind.
The sound of falling to the ground merged into one, and then screams rang out. The wounded soldiers who were hit in the hands and feet groaned and rolled on the ground, wailing miserably. The blood spattered from the wounds sprayed everywhere, and the wounded soldiers who were lucky enough not to be injured were
The soldiers who were hit were all stained red.
"Fanjiazhuang soldiers killed people!"
"Run away!"
"Run away!"
After just one round of shooting, Luo Zhending's general barracks collapsed. The three thousand veterans led by Chao Pichang all surrendered to the Tatars in Changping. The general barracks recruited by Luo Zhending were all new soldiers. How could they have any combat effectiveness? Moreover, Luo Zhending was seriously drinking the blood of his soldiers.
He had no pay, and the sergeants had no intention of repaying him, and they immediately collapsed as soon as a tough battle began.
Luo Zhending ran faster than the soldiers. Before the defeated soldiers in front could catch up with him, he had already turned his horse in the rear and fled to Tianjin Acropolis.
Looking at the general barracks where the armor and flags were thrown all over the ground, Zhong Feng licked his lips and asked, "Sir, do you want to hunt them down?"
Li Zhi shook his head and said calmly: "No more pursuit! Return to Fanjiazhuang, and I will report to the emperor to explain the whole matter!"
