Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 803 Sweeping Thousands of Armies 4
Like Yang Menglong, Xue Siming's character is either not to do it or to do it.Putian Shaolin Temple coveted Zheng's property and sent troops to help in the war, causing many casualties to his troops. Naturally, he would not show it to those bald donkeys with a good face, let alone after a careful search, it was found that Putian Shaolin Lan was actually a hideout. So why is he so polite?Hang all the bald donkeys caught on the treetops, burn all those account books, and distribute all the fields under the name of Putian Shaolin Temple to the surrounding farmers!He still wanted to burn down the temple, but under Yan Yingyuan's persuasion, he gave up.Yan Yingyuan told him that the Putian Shaolin Temple is certainly abominable, but these magnificent buildings and ingenious Buddha statues are innocent. If they are set on fire, the Heluo New Army will easily bear the infamy of "destroying Buddha" and be pushed to the opposite side of the entire Buddhist sect. The consequences are serious, so think twice.

Yan Yingyuan was absolutely right. In fact, before Xue Siming set fire to the temple, his move to attack the Shaolin Temple in Putian had already aroused a strong response. Many Jin gentleman officials who believed in Buddhism all cursed him as crazy, even Buddhists Jingdi could not escape his clutches, and even brought the lawsuit to the capital.However, the people of Putian were very grateful to him. Those people squeezed them too hard. Selling their children and daughters was a no-brainer, and tragedies of family destruction and death also happened from time to time. Now I see those who usually act in power in the Putian Shaolin Temple. The blessed Buddha was dragged out like a dog and hung on the treetop, and everyone clapped their hands and cheered.Then they took back the land that had been taken away from them and used it as temple property. They were even more grateful. They all said they would raise money to build the General Temple and put a statue of Xue Siming in it so that future generations could visit it every day.Xue Siming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm not dead yet. Why do you pray for me?I can't help but feel helpless. The common people are really too ignorant. They only know how to worship ghosts and gods, but they don't know that their destiny is actually in their own hands. If they don't work hard, it will be useless to worship ghosts and gods devoutly!

After tidying up the Putian Shaolin Temple, Xue Siming continued to march southward, heading straight to the Quanzhou Plain.Yang Menglong only left a small fleet of seven warships to cooperate with his actions. The main force of the Transformers fleet pursued Zheng Zhilong closely, so he had to rely on his 6000 or [-] troops to attack the Quanzhou Plain, and the fleet was hopeless.

Seven days after setting off from Fuzhou, Xue Siming's army came to the city of Quanzhou.It's not the vanguard of a few cavalry, but the main force of the entire legion, which has reached the city of Quanzhou.Quanzhou was [-] li away from Fuzhou, and he still had to pull out points all the way. He actually reached the Quanzhou Plain within seven days.

Guarding Quanzhou is Li Shu, another favorite of Zheng Zhilong. The name sounds a bit Annan, but he is a serious Chinese.He used to be a pirate in the waters of Vietnam and the Philippines. He had a tough style and dared to fight hard. He started with three small sailboats, and after several years of hard work, he has developed to a scale of more than 50 good ships.After joining the Zheng Group, he was also reused and led an army of [-] to guard Quanzhou.Unlike Zheng Biao's parallel importer, Li Shu is a brave general who dares to fight and fight. Although the army under his command is not as good as the Jinmen Army and Yingxia Army, it is also very disciplined, like a petty thief. This kind of petty evil cannot be stopped, but no one dares to commit crimes like rape, because once found out, the head will be beheaded.After Li Shu took over Quanzhou, the first person whose head was cut off was his eldest son. This bastard robbed the girl of the people. The girl was so strong that she bit her tongue and committed suicide. He stripped her naked and hung her on the gate of the city. Showing it to the public caused anger and resentment, Li Shu cut off his head without saying a word, and hung it up at the city gate to show the public.After that, those gangsters who came from bandits put away their thoughts of the king of the mountain one after another, and they never stopped doing small evils, but they never dared to do big evils. Therefore, Li Shu's troops are not very popular in Quanzhou, but they are not well-known. It's bad, at least not as bad as Zheng Biao.Zheng Zhilong still had a lot of trust in this fierce general, and he didn't forget to go to Quanzhou in person when he was running for his life, and told Li Shu to guard Quanzhou and not to go out of the city to fight with the Heluo new army.

Now Li Shu is standing at the head of Quanzhou City, watching Heluo's new army line up neatly and advancing side by side, he can't help exclaiming: "What a powerful steel division..."

Several confidant generals around him looked pale... After driving three hundred miles in seven days, according to common sense, the Heluo new army should be tired even if they are hardened, right?However, look at these soldiers who are covered in dust but still look resolute. How can they look too tired to get up?My goodness, are these northern soldiers made of iron?Don't they really get tired?

Be amazed, Li Shu will not be polite to them.That evening, seeing that it was going to rain, he sent his concubine Li Xu to organize two thousand brave soldiers to have a full meal. At night, he took advantage of the heavy rain to sneak out of the city and pounce on the Heluo New Army camp.His wishful thinking is that the Heluo New Army has come from a long distance, and they are already very tired, so they must be negligent. Moreover, the Heluo New Army is a fully weaponized army. In this ghostly weather, the gunpowder is easy to get wet and cannot shoot. Even if taking advantage of the bad weather to rob the camp could not annihilate them in one fell swoop, it would still catch the Heluo New Army by surprise. It would be even more wonderful if they could destroy the supplies of the Heluo New Army.

Li Shu's bet was only half right. Heluo's new army was indeed exhausted, and it was difficult to shoot muskets in this pouring rain—the barrels of the guns were generally soaked in rainwater, and if they were forced to shoot, they would [-]% explode.However, the Heluo New Army did not relax their vigilance. Before camping, they built quite strong fortifications and waited for them. Even if they only camped for one night, they had to build a strong camp. This is what every unit of the Heluo New Army must do There are rules that must be followed, and generals who violate the rules will be beaten to the end.

The troops who attacked the camp stepped on the mines first.The heavy rain dampened many landmines, and the rate of ignition was not high, but a few of them were trampled and exploded, breaking the legs of the Zheng soldiers who stepped on them.The brave warriors didn't know what was going on and fell into chaos.The Heluo new army knew something was going on when they heard the mine explosion, and immediately fired flares, and the troops led by Li Xu were completely exposed to the strong light.Seeing this, Li Xu ordered the attack decisively. Hundreds of archers raised their strong bows and swished and shot quickly. In the position, there was a muffled groan of being hit by an arrow.And the Heluo new army did not hesitate, quickly spread out the tarpaulin, took out the rifle carefully wrapped in it to prevent it from getting wet, the bullets had already been loaded, according to the gun, aimed, and fired!Thousands of flames shot out, lead bullets howled and pierced through, and bloody fountains were dug out among the two thousand brave warriors, and the screams were earth-shattering.With the help of the strong light from the flares, Li Xu clearly saw his soldiers falling down like dominoes. He was shocked and angry. Can the muskets of those northern barbarians fire normally under such heavy rain?Miscalculated, miscalculated!

Ignoring so much, the archer tried his best to break the bowstring that was a little swollen by the rain, and shot quickly!Daredevils charged with long knives and round shields!This kind of ghost weather gun is useless, and bows and arrows are also useless. After a few arrows, it will be useless. You must rush up while the archers can still provide a little cover, and fight with the Heluo new army!

"Go on the bayonet!"

There was a shout from behind the parapet, and with a swipe, thousands of dagger-shaped bayonets were unsheathed and clicked. The Heluo New Army all let out a roar and jumped out. First, they unleashed hundreds of grenades. Then he slammed into the enemy with a bayonet like a wall!Although they were only half the number of each other, they showed no fear, and everyone firmly believed that no enemy could survive three rounds under their bayonets!
The army must have this kind of self-confidence and pride of "I am the best in the world", otherwise, if you hear that the opponent is the elite of which country or country, you will be psychologically inferior to him, and this battle will not be fought.Fortunately, the Heluo New Army has never lacked this kind of pride and
Self-confidence, this kind of pride and self-confidence is obtained after defeating powerful enemies through countless bloody battles, it is unbreakable!
The tragic hand-to-hand combat erupted. Nearly 3000 people fought to the death in the rain that was too dense to open their eyes. The crisp sound of blades piercing into bones, the muffled sound of bayonet piercing flesh, the strange sound of bones breaking, and the shrill screams, The sound of cursing, one after another, mixed with the sound of wind, rain, and thunder, made the blood rush even more, and made the bone stand up!

When Xue Siming arrived, the entire battlefield had turned into a Shura slaughterhouse. Hundreds of soldiers on both sides fell to the ground, and blood spurted out from their wounds, mixing with rain and flowing everywhere. It was very scary.The situation was so chaotic that other troops could not help at all. They could only fire flares to prevent the comrades who were fighting hand-to-hand from killing each other because they could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.But this seems to be of no use. The situation is too chaotic now, and it is raining heavily. It is difficult to open your eyes. Even with flares, it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.The Heluo New Army formed a group of three, standing back to back, speaking in Shaanxi dialect and greeting the enemy's whole family of women within a radius of nine generations of ancestors. They stabbed those who tried to approach them with their bayonets, without mercy.Of course, if you hear the other party also speaking Shaanxi dialect, you should stop immediately to avoid accidental injury. Who made Xue Siming's army consist of all Shaanxi soldiers?There is such an advantage if the sources of troops come from the same place.Li Xu and his troops now experienced the pain of not working hard to learn foreign languages. They were beaten everywhere amidst the curses and people were stabbed to death.At the beginning, they were still able to interact with the Heluo New Army, with similar casualties. But later, the curses in Shaanxi accent became louder and louder, and their screams became more and more intense, and there were lightning flashes from all directions. The bayonet stabbed over, how do they fight?It was simply impossible to fight.

It is always beneficial to master another language. If they can also speak Shaanxi dialect, they will not suffer so much.

Xue Siming didn't send troops to help, he believed that his brothers could win this tragic hand-to-hand battle.He looked at the chaotic battlefield and sneered: "How dare you organize brave fighters to attack in the rainy night, and fight back and forth with my troops? That old man Li Shu still has two brushes."

Zhong Ning said: "It's a pity that he bumped into our new Heluo army... When you meet us, you can't win by strategy and bravery alone. If you want to break through our defense line, you have to use several times as many corpses to fill it!"

Over there, Li Xu already felt bad, the Heluo new army's offensive became more and more fierce, and his troops began to retreat steadily!He felt a wave of despair, this night attack, they had taken advantage of the right time and place, and the two thousand brave fighters also played at a super level, fighting so fiercely and resolutely, they were still defeated by the new army of Heluo... I can't think of any other way to defeat these black devils!Unbelievable, he fired a rocket into the sky, and then commanded the troops to retreat while resisting.However, it seems a bit late to withdraw now. The Heluo new army rolled up and surrounded them. No matter where they rushed, they were greeted with cold bayonets!

At this time, the gate of the city was opened wide, and a cavalry rushed out, splashing mud and water all over the sky, and charged towards the battlefield like a whirlwind.

Xue Siming smiled and said to Zhong Ning, "It's your turn."

Zhong Ning said: "I've been impatient for a long time!" He got on his horse and galloped out, came to the front of the cavalry square, raised his sword and screamed: "Lancers, charge!"

Three hundred Lancers galloped out on their horses, and in an instant they rushed to the enemy cavalry who swung their knives at the back of the Heluo New Army. The horses held by one hand pointed at the enemy like a compass. The moment the two cavalry collided, hundreds of enemy cavalry were overturned by the horse.Before it was over, the ferocious chasseurs rushed forward with swords and horses, reaping the lives of the enemy soldiers who were knocked dizzy by the lancers. The cavalry battle turned into a massacre at the very beginning...
