468 meat shield (for the leader Bai Lan Tianji 4/11)
Previously, Ma Shiying passed news to various generals, saying that according to factory guard reports, Zhang Xianzhong's bandits were mobilizing troops on a large scale and gathering on the eastern front. It was estimated that there was an attempt to break out on the eastern front, and asked all ministries to step up precautions.
Liu Liangzuo's side was originally quite far away from the bandits, although he thought that even if the bandits wanted to break out, they might not break out from him.
However, the Governor had already given the order, and Zuo Liangyu's head was yellow, so he did not dare to be careless, so he ordered his officers to be more vigilant.
But in the end, Liu Liangzuo still didn't expect that the bandits would not only break through from him, but also do so in this way.
Looking at those disguised grain trucks, Liu Liangzuo was really a little scared.
How come these bandits are so powerful that they actually thought of pretending to be a food delivery team?
And one thing, he was very surprised. Even if these thieves pretended to be a food delivery team, how could they get past the night-time patrols placed on the periphery, and also get past the sentries at the entrance of the military camp, and only arrived directly inside the military camp before being discovered.
?
This question is very strange!
If the army under his command had not been reorganized and all that remained were elite soldiers. If the previous team had been replaced, no matter how many people there were, if the bandits were so upset and those miscellaneous soldiers blew up the camp, this battle would probably not have been necessary.
Hit.
At this time, Liu Liangzuo had no time to think about this. After all, he was a general who had led troops for many years, and he had absolutely no shortage of experience. He just scanned the battlefield and saw the number of bandits clearly, and he immediately knew that the followers of the bandits were
, will definitely kill him immediately.
Therefore, he immediately organized his troops to destroy the vanguard of these bandits as quickly as possible, and then formed a tight formation to wait for the followers of the bandits.
Do you want to say that Liu Liangzuo is panicking?
In fact, he was not panic at all, and even had a little expectation.
Under Ma Shiying's constraints, there was basically no military merit to be achieved. But now, the bandits took the initiative to find him. To him, this was the military merit that brought him here.
As the saying goes, he originally thought that the place where he was staying was so far away that the front line was far away from him; but unexpectedly, the front line moved to him.
No, he had no intention of asking for help from Huang Degong who was nearby. He just wanted to earn this military merit by himself.
After a series of deployments, Liu Liangzuo discovered that the bandits in the military camp were extremely tenacious. Under the siege of his men, they even used grain trucks as cover and huddled there, apparently waiting for reinforcements.
"Report!"
Liu Liangzuo heard the sound and looked over, only to see that he had not stopped all night and hurried over to report to him: "I found Zhang Xianzhong's troops five miles away. They all seemed to be elite, with about 20,000 horses, 5,000 cavalry, and 1 infantry.
About 15,000 people are on their way here."
Upon hearing this, Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but be shocked. Zhang Xianzhong was desperate!
Now, he didn't dare to take advantage of this victory. At least he knew that he couldn't eat it with his men. Even if he could eat it, when his men were killed, the court would probably hold him accountable.
With this in mind, he immediately sent a quick horse to contact Huang Degong.
At the same time, Liu Liangzuo looked at these stubborn thieves in the military camp with an extremely cold look.
"He's here to die!" Liu Liangzuo sneered, and then ordered: "Push the cannon over and blast it!"
The Governor-General said before that it would be best to capture prisoners. This is the emperor's will.
But now, Liu Liangzuo no longer wanted to take prisoners. These thieves huddled together and were blocked by grain trucks. Unless they were bombarded with artillery, it would be difficult for them to take off their turtle shells in a short time.
Military camps are equipped with small and medium-sized artillery for field use. Some are equipped with gun wheels, but some are transported in sidecars.
At this moment, after receiving the military order, his men immediately pushed out the medium-sized artillery with gun wheels. The gunner followed the sports car and immediately started operating it without even aiming, after all, the target was so big.
The imperial officers and soldiers who had originally blocked the camp gate immediately withdrew to both sides to avoid being accidentally injured by artillery fire.
Zhang Nengqi is taking command, asking his men to prepare for defense and wait for the arrival of Zhang Xianzhong's main force.
As a result, I noticed something was wrong. When I raised my head to take a look, I was immediately frightened out of my mind.
Just this grain truck, in front of the medium-sized artillery, was like paper. No, and they, who were hiding behind the grain truck, were also like paper.
At this time, if you still huddle behind the grain truck, you will be a target, and it will definitely mean "death".
However, if you attack and attack, you will see that the surrounding imperial officers and soldiers are all holding flintlock guns pointed at them, and they will not be able to get close at all. They will not engage in hand-to-hand combat with you at all.
Although it was said that it was not easy to be a vanguard and it was very dangerous. However, Zhang Nengqi never expected that he would fall into a dead end.
He didn't know whether Zhang Xianzhong could finally break out of the encirclement. What he knew was that he was going to die!
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Liu Wenxiu didn't know what happened, but Li Dingguo was Ning Yuanbo, and he was on guard in Nanjing.
Thinking of this, he quickly shouted loudly: "Don't fire, we surrender!"
His men naturally saw the muzzles of the artillery pointed at them. They also understood that they were facing a desperate situation at this time.
Since Zhang Nengqi is calling for surrender, they are not so determined that they will fight to the end!
So, they shouted together: "Don't fire, we surrender!"
It is better to live than to die, and the ants are greedy for life!
Liu Liangzuo didn't even raise his hands to report, these thieves shouted loudly.
So, he sneered, and then ordered: "Let them throw away their weapons immediately and come out holding their heads. Immediately, immediately, if there is any delay, they will be killed without mercy!"
Liu Liangzuo knew very well that the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's command was on the way, and the battle in the military camp must be resolved quickly!
"Clang, bang, clang..."
Soon, the weapons were thrown out of the grain cart one by one, and then, the thieves disguised as guardsmen walked out of the grain cart one by one, holding their heads.
Liu Liangzuo waved his hand, and groups of soldiers immediately came forward on guard, ready to accept their surrender.
At this moment, I vaguely felt the earth shaking, and the faint sound of thunder rolled in from the sky.
As a battle-hardened general, Liu Liangzuo immediately understood that Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry was coming.
It would be absolutely disastrous for more than 5,000 cavalry troops to charge directly into an unprepared military camp.
But now, the military camp still has to accept the surrender of a thousand bandits, which will obviously take a lot of time.
Even if these bandits are tied up, they still need to be guarded by manpower. However, according to Ye Bushou's report, Zhang Xianzhong still has about 15,000 infantry troops, and they are all elite.
Under this situation, if the thieves in the camp make trouble when the fighting is fierce, it will be fatal.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and there was not much time left. The camp must be reinforced immediately.
However, if casualties are not taken into account in a cavalry assault, the camp is not a city defense after all, so it is a bit dangerous.
As for whether the bandits would ignore the casualties, Liu Liangzuo immediately knew when he thought that the bandits were trying to break through the siege and flee to the north. Maybe the bandits would really jump over the wall in a hurry.
The situation was really very dangerous when the thieves who were pretending to be a food delivery team made such a fuss.
Thinking like this, his face turned ferocious, and he was about to give the order to kill all these bandits.
But just when he was about to give the order, suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning.
Isn't this scene the perfect time to use the trick that high-class thieves often use?
Thinking of this, Liu Liangzuo's gesture of waving his hand to cut down immediately turned into a wave forward, and sent more men to tie up these thieves.
At this time, Zhang Nengqi and others had also heard the sound of horse hooves. However, now they had thrown away their weapons and were captured without any help. If they resisted again, although they could buy some time for the main force, they would obviously lose their lives. Therefore, including
In the end, no one resisted, including Zhang Nengqi, and they were tied up obediently.
When Liu Liangzuo saw that all the bandits were tied up, he immediately ordered: "Come on, tie them all to the fence outside the camp, tie them up!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Nengqi couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Because he immediately understood that Liu Liangzuo was using them as human shields to defend the camp!
In the past, they used the old and the weak to be human shields. Unexpectedly, in the reincarnation of heaven, today, it is their turn to be human shields.
Do you want to say they are willing?
Absolutely not!
However, what can they do if others are a slave to others and others are a slave to fish?
Liu Liangzuo's men naturally understood his intention immediately, and they all became happy and immediately pushed them towards the entrance of the camp.
The human shields of more than a thousand bandits can already defend a camp for a long time.
……………
Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry was led by his famous general Zhang Kewang. Receiving Zhang Nengqi was a matter of great importance, and Zhang Xianzhong would not be at ease unless Zhang Kewang came forward.
Seeing people fleeing without restraint or being harassed at night, Zhang Kewang didn't care at all. He knew the importance and just led the cavalry to rush towards Liu Liangzuo's barracks.
As he got closer and closer, Zhang Kewang saw that Liu Liangzuo's military camp had no traces of fire or large-scale fighting. Suddenly, his heart sank.
But at this time, with the arrow on the string, he could no longer care about anything else.
His mission was to attack Liu Liangzuo's military camp as soon as possible, connect with Zhang Nengqi, penetrate the camp, and capture the ships.
Now even if there is no movement from Zhang Nengqi, his attack is still inevitable. If it is too late, he will be run away by the fleet.
However, what he never expected was that when he led the cavalry troops closer and closer to Liu Liangzuo's military camp, he was shocked to find that guards officers and soldiers were all tied up outside the fence of the military camp.
Is Liu Liangzuo's defense like this? Is there such a defensive strategy in the world?
But as soon as the idea came to him, he recognized it at a glance. They were the vanguard led by Zhang Nengqi, pretending to be the guards' troops.
