Nanming Engineer

Chapter 282

What the fat sergeant shouted was obviously the usual slogan of a green forest hero, but he was indeed wearing a high-quality military armor of the Ming Dynasty, which immediately made the Kuizhou army fall into silence.

Liu Yun opened his mouth wide, and his eyes became a little blurred. The image of the shouting sergeant turned into a scruffy-faced bandit for a while, and then fell back into the appearance of an officer and soldier in a red uniform. measures.

Even though the officers and soldiers of the Kuizhou Army were well-trained and disciplined, they couldn't help exchanging glances with each other in confusion at this moment, and they were a little dazed.

The chief general, Wang Huanchuchu, was also stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he burst out laughing again, and said with a big laugh: "Huguang officers and soldiers have become so corrupt! Even the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have to collect tolls. It is unimaginable. This kind of officers and soldiers, What is the use of raising him from the imperial court?"

He ordered one of his guards: "Go and tell him that we are the Sichuan officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. We are returning to meet the Holy Spirit. We passed by here without any silver coins. Let them get out of the way quickly."

The guard agreed and ran quickly to the front. A gap opened in the tight shield wall, allowing him to stand outside the shield wall and talk to the fat sergeant face to face not far away.

The fat sergeant heard the message from the personal guard, and agreed nonchalantly: "So what? My general knows that you are also officers and soldiers, and you have to pay for the road. Who doesn't know that my general has many soldiers, and the court's military salary is not enough. The imperial court also knows about the buying of road money, are the adults in charge of us? No, so go back and tell your chief general of Lao Shizi, give the money and leave quickly, so as not to delay the sun."

He looked at the circle with a playful smile, and said again: "You are all cavalry, and you really have no money, so you can keep five hundred more horses."

The personal guard listened to his rascal's words, saw his naughty appearance, and wished he could rush up and grab the fat man and slap him into a pig's head, but he was afraid of military discipline, so he had to listen to it, and ran back to Wang Huan to repeat it in detail. .

Li Dingguo was furious, his eyebrows were raised upside down, and he said with anger: "It's so disgusting that even the army dares to blackmail. I don't know how many people this Yang Dapu has harmed in the past here. My lord, why don't you kill this fellow, so as to eliminate harm for the people!"

Wang Huan thought about it, looked at the way he had come, and knew that he couldn't stay here for too long, the pursuers must be on the way, there were wolves in front and tigers in back, and he had to hurry up.

So Wang Huan nodded his head and ordered: "Since Yang Dapu won't give way, let's fight. In this world, whoever has a strong fist is the strong one. Let him see what kind of iron plate he bumped into today!"

Li Dingguo accepted the order with cupped fists fiercely, flung the cloak behind him, and strode forward, shouting orders loudly all the way.

"The circular formation is disbanded, from Team A to Team Geng, and the five centurions march forward, forming a formation of pointed spears! The sword and shield are in front, and the bird commanders are in the wings!"

"The rest of the centurion, line up in the rear, and guard the adults!"

With the sound of the horn, following Li Dingguo's call, the orderly circle disintegrated in an instant. More than 2000 people shuttled back and forth. After forming the pointed conical array, the remaining people retreated from the two wings of the pointed conical array to the rear, and then the pointed conical array formed a square array.

In a short while, a sharp cone array formed with a shield wall in front, a forest of spears in the back, and two-winged birds walking around with hands. Amidst the passionate drumbeat, they began to press forward slowly with neat steps.

The Ming army around them looked a little dull. The White Armored Army surrounding them changed their formation as if by magic. There were so many people running around with their weapons, but no one collided with them. It can also quickly form an array, which is amazing.

The fat on the fat sergeant's face twitched several times in a row. He had already sensed that something was wrong, and he stepped back slowly. While backing up, he kept yelling: "What are you doing? Don't be shameless. Let me tell you, General Yang has tens of thousands of people under his command, once you tear up your face, you will have no good fruit to eat..."

Before he could finish his cursing, the overwhelming sound of military boots stamped on the ground overwhelmed his shouts, and the rhythmic sound of "bang bang bang" footsteps accompanied by drums began to approach him.

The drum beat was very slow at the beginning, but gradually accelerated, and within a few breaths, the speed increased to the point of jogging. The sound of footsteps was like thunder and thunder, and the drumbeat became denser and faster.

The Ming army blocking the road on the front official road is only a stone's throw away from the Kuizhou army, that is, about 130 steps. Huge pressure was passed on to the Ming army.

The fat sergeant's face immediately turned pale, his feet went weak, he yelled, "Oh my God!", he turned around and ran away.

In front of him, Yin Yang Dapu, the Huizhou General Soldier and Guwuyi General under the command of Nanming Huguang Governor, was actually surrounded by a group of personal soldiers, watching the approach of the Kuizhou Army.

Yang Dapu already regretted it a bit, regretting that he shouldn't have trusted the words of the Fu Lu spies, thinking that the passers-by were just ordinary Ming soldiers with a large number of healthy horses, and they were uncommon fat sheep. Accustomed to running rampant, He Tengjiao has always indulged military generals, so he became greedy and ordered all the horses on hand, including the miscellaneous soldiers from the prefectures and counties. He gathered 5000 people and set up this pit to make a fortune.

Now it seems that the other side is fat, and there are two thousand horses for 2000 people. Those horses are smooth and smooth, and they must be worth a lot of money if they are snatched for personal use or for sale.

But do you really have the ability to grab it?
Yang Dapu had no idea, not only no idea, but also some fear.

Moreover, the fear of the military formation accompanied by oppression is getting stronger and stronger.

Damn, is this Daming's army?Could it be the Tartars in disguise?
Some of the people around have started to retreat quietly. Anyone can tell that the Ming army rushing over is definitely a stubble. They haven't seen each other for many years. Everyone came out with Mr. Yang just to find some money. , not really desperate.

Yang Dapu was very conflicted in his heart, what should he do?Just ran away like this, it was too embarrassing, how can you see people if it spreads out, secretly scolded the fat sergeant's ancestors all over, just now he gave you a step, you fucking made up your own mind, insisting that he pay horses for money , how are you doing now, what should I do?Is it a real fight?Can you beat it?

While hesitating, time flies, and the Kuizhou army has approached sixty steps away. Yang Dapu is still in a daze. They must also protect Yang Dapu's safety.

But the Kuizhou army stopped.

In the forest-like array of spears, many spears were also lowered.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that these white armored soldiers were so aggressive that they still didn't dare to take it seriously.

When I was still breathing smoothly, I heard a loud order from the Kuizhou army: "Shoot!"

At the next moment, hundreds of mountain-destroying crossbows in the sharp cone gun formation simultaneously pulled the strings and fired arrows. With a "puff", it was as if a huge bowstring was loosened. Hundreds of crossbow arrows turned into a cloud of black clouds, overwhelming Cover to the Ming army.

Blood spattered and screams continued.

Most of these Ming soldiers did not wear armor, only mandarin duck battle uniforms, and a red tasseled hat on their heads. How could they withstand the shooting of crossbows? , ran backwards desperately, faster than a rabbit.

At the same time, the bird commanding soldiers on the two wings also fired at the Ming army on both sides, with bang bang bang bang, because there were studs scattered on the ground on both sides, and there were not many people around, so the deterrence was greater than that of the Ming army. Killing and wounding, many Ming soldiers fled wolves and dolphins in the smoke, but few were killed.

Yang Dapu was shielded by the shields set up by the soldiers and was not injured. At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he realized it. It was so cruel!This group of Sichuan soldiers are so ruthless!He was beaten as he was told, and he was beaten to death without any mercy!
The Kuizhou army scattered a wave of arrows, and then immediately picked up their spears again. The shield players in front quickly retreated to the two wings, and stood with the bird commanders, revealing rows of sharp spears in the middle.

Liu Yunding, wearing a helmet and armor, was the first in the first row. He pointed the spear in his hand far ahead, stamped his feet, and shouted: "Charge!" and rushed out first.

The Kuizhou army behind them advanced one by one, and the blades of the long spears shone with cold light, like thousands of golden scales, shining brightly, rushing away with an unstoppable momentum.

This posture made Yang Dapu, who was full of anger and wanted to fight, lost the last trace of courage. He turned around and jumped on the horse, and fled without saying hello.

The soldiers around him followed him, running fast.

The rest was very simple. Liu Yun led the people to maintain their formation and chased for half a mile, but they could not catch up with half of them. As for the other Ming troops surrounding them, they were all a group of miscellaneous soldiers from all over the country. He knew nothing about making noises. When he saw Liu Dapu running away, he immediately dispersed like birds and beasts, leaving broken copper-like weapons all over the ground and disappeared into the wilderness.

Wang Huan looked at all this speechlessly, both funny and sad, shaking his head again and again, if Huguang's soldiers are like this, then He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi are not capable people, and Huguang will die.

After removing the rejected horses and clearing a passage, all members of the Kuizhou army remounted their horses and left along the official road.Wang Huan didn't know that Yang Dapu would add fuel and vinegar to his crimes. Yang Dapu wrote in his writing to the court: "Rampant lawlessness, killing friendly troops, and the poison of his heart are no different from those of the Eastern captives. !"

Entering Huguang from Guangdong, taking the road to Guizhou, all the way forward, you have to pass through Chenzhou and Jingzhou. These two state capitals are all under the jurisdiction of Huguang Governor Du Yinxi. He and Huguang Governor He Tengjiao went east and west The province of Huguang was divided from the middle by a line, and each led half. They fought and fought with each other, and never communicated with each other. They had different political opinions and factions, and had deep resentment.

Both of them were famous officials in the late Ming Dynasty, with outstanding abilities. They stood out among a group of mediocre Nanming officials, but they wasted their main energy on internal strife, which was a pity.

Once Yang Dapu was defeated, Yongzhou passed through immediately, without any obstacles, Wang Huan's attention was on Du Yinxi who was about to face him.
