Ming Zuo

Chapter 220 Promise
The smart ones have run away, the stupid ones think they are sure of winning.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers who came were all infantry, without armor, and only armed with firecrackers, Li Mengming and Dong Dacheng felt that the chances of winning were great.

In particular, the two routes of officers and troops came very slowly.

After lining up a thousand meters away, they slowly pushed over, which also gave the White Lotus Sect rebels a chance to regroup.

"Xu Yaqing was scared out of her wits by that Zuo Menggeng, let's fight a big victory today and let the big guys see who is the pillar of the holy religion."

Dong Dacheng is gearing up.

"What Your Majesty said is that there are more than [-] officers and soldiers in the area, and each of us can drown them with a single spit."

Li Mengming was flattered by the compliment.

"In this way, you lead [-] people to deal with the South Road official army, and I will lead the army myself. After the West Road official army is wiped out, I will join forces with you to suppress the South Road."

"As ordered."

Laiyang County, which was originally turbulent, has now calmed down.

The focus of the battlefield has changed from offensive and defensive warfare to field warfare.

On the top of the wall, all the people who were going to die generously were all lying on the top of the wall, watching the situation below nervously.

Everyone knows that once the army wins the battle, Laiyang will be saved.

But if the army loses...

"Zhongji, there are few officers and soldiers, shall we go out and help cover up the killing?"

The scribe shook his head, but focused on the situation outside.

"Although I have never been on the battlefield, I also know that victory or defeat does not depend on the number of troops. You see, the formation of the army is strict, and thousands of people act like one. It is clearly a strong army. Look at the white lotus monster, chaotic Yes, the mob."

The person who wanted to commit suicide by jumping over the wall laughed at himself: "It's these mobs who almost killed us all."

The scribe was also annoyed.

"Laiyang has been at peace for a long time, and people don't know how to fight, so this is the disaster."

Five hundred meters, the new army advanced to the attack distance.

Under the escort of the rear guard company, Zuo Menggeng observed the battlefield calmly with a telescope.

Sun Yuanhua was watching with a telescope at the side.

"The enemy army is powerful, don't you command it yourself?"

Zuo Menggeng shook his head.

"It's just a group of chickens and dogs. I don't need to take action. It's just for the officers below to exercise."

This statement made Sun Yuanhua wryly smile again and again.

When the Ming army fought, the generals were put first.

The general is brave, and the soldiers dare to fight.If the general stands still, the soldiers will be frightened.

In the face of tens of thousands of enemy troops, Zuo Menggeng actually let the people below do what he wants, and he doesn't know whether he is brave or really has the confidence to win.

Commanding this battle was Ning Youwei, political commissar of the first regiment.

He formulated a strategy of attacking the west and attacking the west at night, and Zuo Menggeng simply handed over the entire battle to him.

Zuo Menggeng knew very well that a powerful army cannot be commanded by one person alone.

The battlefield in the future will be infinitely vast, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't cover everything.

Not to mention the communication conditions of this era, it is impossible for him to command the front line.

Even if he could, he didn't intend to interfere with frontline affairs.

Really move the machine gun forward five meters?

Since you can't conquer the world by yourself, you must give the people below you the opportunity to fully exercise.

The White Lotus Sect is really not a strong enemy, and it is not afraid of overturning, it is the best experience baby.

Ning Weiping didn't know what Zuo Menggeng was thinking, and as a political commissar of a regiment, he commanded two regiments to fight, which made him quite nervous.

"Xiaobai, you said... If I lose the fight, the attendant won't cut off my head?"

Bai Xiaoqi was not happy anymore.

"What Xiaobai, Xiaobai, my name is Bai Xiaoqi, I have a great name, and I'm still your team leader."

Ning Weiping remained unmoved.

"Smooth, just smooth."

Bai Xiaoqi wasn't really angry either, and lazily said: "Didn't you fight in Haowangzhuang before, you can lose even this group of people, then just piss yourself and soak yourself to death."

Thinking of the battle at Haowangzhuang, Ning Weiping's back was no longer sore, his legs were no longer hurting, and he was refreshed.

"Send an order to the third regiment and let them press inward by themselves."

The first regiment was in the west, and the third regiment was in the south. Together with Laiyang City, the tens of thousands of Bailian sect rebels were caught in the middle.

The distance between the two regiments was more than three miles, and the command could only rely on semaphore.

Huang Sanhu, the head of the third regiment, couldn't help curling his lips when he received the order.

"Look at him, Ning Daxian, he can command us."

Lou Fu looked serious and hurriedly reminded.

"This is an order from the audience, you are not allowed to be a demon moth."

Huang Sanhu quickly waved his hands.

"Of course I know this is the order of the attendant, and of course I won't mess around."

But after being silent for a while, he couldn't help but asked again: "Great talent, tell me, why did the attendant leave the commanding matter to Ning Daxian?"

Lou Fu could see it clearly.

"Have you forgotten what the attendees said before the expedition? This time our goal is to expand the army by suppressing bandits. Then tell me, where will the officers come from after the expansion?"

Huang Sanhu suddenly realized.

"Hey, then he, Immortal Ning, will be able to be a teacher after this battle is over?"

Lou Fu's smile was not a smile.

"That's why, Huang Datuan, you have to fight hard. Don't let everyone else become the teacher, and you are still the leader, and you can't hold your head up."

Huang Sanhu completely lost his slack thoughts, and shouted: "Let's cheer up, this battle has brought out our vigor and spirit. Let the participants take a good look at it. Although we are called the third regiment, we will do what we want. First."

The officers and soldiers below said yes, and they were all in high spirits.Even the recruits were infected, which somewhat relieved some of the tension before the battle.

Although Li Mengming and Dong Dacheng don't know how to fight, they also know that they have a lot of people, so they just take the initiative to attack.

With the waving of the handsome flag, tens of thousands of rioters rushed towards the new army on both sides at the same time like a flood that opened the gate.

Zuo Menggeng brought out an artillery battery this time, and the position was not far in front of him.

Shooting the elements and the like, that has been calculated long ago.After receiving Ning Weiping's order, the artillery company opened fire first.

This batch of Zuoying artillery has been improved, and a steel button is added to it, just like a human belt.

When the shells and cartridges are loaded, in addition to being locked with the breech block, the thick and strong button will be pulled through the upper part of the hollow bore and buckled on the other side of the gun.

In this way, the cartridge cannot be ejected from the barrel by the huge explosion impact.

Under the first wave of artillery, the Bailian gangsters were blown up.

More than [-] shells exploded in the dense and unprotected crowd, and a round of bombardment killed hundreds of people.

Standing beside Zuo Menggeng, looking at the novel artillery of the new army and the telescope in his hand, Sun Yuanhua was dumbfounded.

"Zhongheng, the method of making these firearms..."

Sun Yuanhua had already thought about it a long time ago. After taking office, he will vigorously build firearms and support Liaodong.

All his methods of casting firearms were learned from Xu Guangqi.

I thought that he looked down on the world, and he was not much better than Xiyi.

But now seeing the lightness and power of the new army's artillery, he understands what it means to have a sky beyond the sky and someone beyond the human.

Unfortunately, Zuo Menggeng couldn't agree to his idea.

"Uncle, you know our ambitions. How can such a firearm be passed on to the imperial court. Besides, the imperial court is like a sieve. The method of casting will definitely be spread. If it falls into the hands of Donglu..."

While speaking, he couldn't help looking at Sun Yuanhua with regret.

The fact that Hou Jin was able to develop firearms forces arbitrarily was due to this person in front of him.

Although Sun Yuanhua had expected that Zuo Menggeng would refuse, but after hearing it with his own ears, he was still full of bitterness.

It is ironic that the best army and the best weapons cannot serve the imperial court!
But what Zuo Menggeng said afterwards made him baffled.

"As my uncle's reward for keeping it secret, if my uncle is in trouble in the future, my nephew will definitely save your life."

Sun Yuanhua didn't understand why this promise was made, but the situation on the battlefield no longer allowed him to ask further questions.

After two rounds of shelling, the Bailian gangsters completely collapsed, and everyone ran back crying, hoping to stay away from the devil in front of them.

Seeing this, Ning Weiping ordered again that the infantry of the two regiments began to advance, compressing the battlefield space.

After entering the hundred steps, the musket began to show off its power.

In the open terrain, with tens of thousands of people gathered together, there is no need to deliberately aim at all, just fire at that line.

A round of gunfire, and a row of people disappeared.Another round, another row gone.

Seeing this scene, Sun Yuanhua and the people on the top of the wall were all shocked and speechless.

Li Mengming has no ambitions at this time.

It doesn't matter what to be the emperor or the head of the church.

"Hold it, hold it up for me..."

While screaming wildly, a black speck flew from the sky and landed at his feet.In less than half a breath, the area was swept by the storm.

Poor Emperor Lingbao, he really has a psychic this time.

As for Dong Dacheng...

Relying on his good water skills, this guy has already swam across the Xian River, and with dozens of cronies, he started running for his life.

Thanks to his fast running, not long after he escaped, a group of Ming troops came from the east and joined the battlefield.

　Thank you for the tipping Dongmo!
