please make me king

Chapter 754 Night Battle
It was three o'clock and five drums at night, Nanyang City, the school grounds were brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Holding a bowl of wine, President Ren Qian faced the "hair gourd" under his command and shouted loudly: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while. Brothers have followed me for a long time, and now it's time to make contributions."

"As long as this thief is taken down, not to mention my brother and I will be promoted to nobles, everyone will also be rewarded. As long as they go to battle, each will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and the leader's credit is another matter."

These people under his command are all mountain people in the valley, and they have always killed people for a living.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but yelled, "Mr. Qian has no worries. As long as the reward is in place, I will sell my life to Mr. Qian."

Mr. Ren Qian saw that the morale was available, so he shouted: "Do it!"

Then he drank the wine in the bowl and smashed the pottery bowl that held the wine into pieces.

"Do it!" All the hairy gourds were also imposing like a rainbow, drank the wine in one gulp, and smashed the pottery bowl to pieces.

Therefore, Mr. Ren Qian led the five hundred elites out of the city with guns and arrows.

This guy has a typical "hair gourd" shape, with his head wrapped around his head, and his bare feet and leggings.Bamboo pieces are tied to the legs and body to serve as simple armor.

Although this kind of attire is not comparable to the fast horse armor of the northern frontier army, it is quite suitable for the local climate and terrain.

Mr. Ren Qian took them with him and quietly left the Nanyang mansion, taking advantage of the dim moon and stars, he walked all the way to the camp of the rebel army.

When he got close to him, he saw that the camp was pitch black, and there was no sound at all.

Mr. Ren Qian hesitated for a moment, and just in time gave the order to attack.

Unexpectedly, with the sound of a cannon, the camp suddenly lit up, and a group of people and horses had already ambushed in the camp.

Mr. Ren Qian was startled and was about to leave.Another burst of shouts came: "Shut away the officers and soldiers who robbed the camp!"

He turned his head and looked, and saw two fire dragons on the left, one on the left and one on the right, encircling them, they were the cavalry who had been waiting for a long time.

It turned out that Zhang Shun expected the officers and soldiers to come tonight, so in addition to arranging some soldiers and horses to guard the camp, he also ambushed two waves of cavalry outside the camp to attack the officers and soldiers.

How did Mr. Ren Qian know that he had fallen into the "thief's trick"?He couldn't help but annoyed: "I knew it earlier, I didn't want to be an official, and I shouldn't stop this errand!"

Mr. Ren Qian hurriedly shouted loudly, first ordered the soldiers to line up, and retreat while fighting.

When Zhang Shun saw it, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You actually want to struggle to your death, I want to see how you can resist the impact of my cavalry!" He ordered his horse to harass the officers and soldiers.

Immediately, the cavalry rushed over from time to time, scattered a burst of arrows and left.Although because of the limited line of sight, the accuracy is impressive.Fortunately, the counterattacks of the officers and soldiers were also inconsistent.

Although the "hair gourd" under Mr. Ren Qian's command was fierce, it was the first time he encountered an opponent whose main force was cavalry.

The man was riding on a horse, more than two meters tall, and some were wearing iron armor, which could not penetrate with spears or arrows, which caused quite a commotion for a while.

Seeing that something was wrong, Mr. Ren Qian hurriedly led thirty or fifty people to rush forward.

In the end, he didn't expect that the cavalry was still more than ten feet away, but the knight on the horse slashed right in front of him with a swing of his knife.

Many gourds with superb martial arts skills were caught off guard, and fell under the swords and guns of the rebel army before they could show their skills.

They survived this wave of shock with great difficulty, and more than [-] people died.Mr. Ren Qian hurriedly asked the soldiers to turn off the lights, formed a circular formation, and slowly retreated towards Nanyang Fucheng.

The rebels lost track of their officers and soldiers and dared not act rashly.He was also afraid that the horse would stumble and break the horse, which would be worthless, so he asked Zhang Shun for his order.

In fact, in addition to being brave, fighting in war requires skill.

In a battle without thinking, even if you win by luck, the loss will be too large, which is not conducive to the next battle.

War is a dynamic game process. In addition to taking advantage of the unpreparedness and winning by surprise, it is often to use small-scale battles to gradually gain an advantage and finally establish a victory.

Since the sneak attack on Nanyang City was unsuccessful, Zhang Shun did not expect to win Nanyang City in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers in front of him are quite brave, and the generals are quite organized, Zhang Shun knew that this should be the elite of Nanyang City.

He laughed and said, "Since this group of officers and soldiers don't want to eat fine wine after toasting, let's pull out the cannon and serve them!"

Zhang Shun's camp is only two miles away from Nanyang City. If there are Hongyi cannons in Nanyang City, they can get here.

However, this short two-mile road has become a sad road for Mr. Ren Qian and his "Mao Hulu".

The field artillery in Zhang Shun's hands is the "Iron Cannon Flying Cavalry" reformed by him. It is very extravagantly equipped with one cannon and ten horses, and its mobility far exceeds that of the artillery of this era.

Mr. Ren Qian had never fought against Zhang Shun, and he said that this group of thieves was at most similar to officers and soldiers, and they carried some light Francophones and Western cannons in their hands, which were considered fierce firepower.

There was only a loud noise in the dark night, followed by the miserable screams of officers and soldiers.

Mr. Ren Qian was shocked by the sound of the cannons. He turned his head and saw the lights flickering and the cannons roaring near the rebel camp. For a moment, he didn't know how many cannons the "thief" had prepared.

"Hongyi Cannon! It's Hongyi Cannon!" Some of the officers and soldiers who "know the goods" couldn't help but panicked and shouted loudly.

"Nonsense, the thieves are coming at a gallop, where did the Hongyi cannon come from!" Mr. Ren Qian scolded quickly.

But where is it too late?In fact, due to the problem of sightlines, the artillery of the rebel army moved a lot, and the raindrops were small, so the actual casualties caused were not large.

But because of the darkness, the officers and soldiers only heard the roar of the artillery and the wailing of the robes around them, which actually magnified this fear.

Husband and courage also!The officers and soldiers lost their courage, and fear spread in everyone's hearts like a plague.

Every sound of the cannon will make their hearts tremble; every wailing will make them feel the same.

They yelled in a panic, but pointed out the direction for the artillery of the rebel army, so the firepower became more and more fierce.

I don't know where it started, the last string of the officers and soldiers was finally broken, and suddenly they all scattered and went away separately.

Mr. Ren Qian looked around and saw that there were only dozens of people around, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "I'm the one who hurt everyone, let's take advantage of the darkness and flee to other gates to enter the city!"

The officers and soldiers collapsed, and the rebel army couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly divided into several groups to hunt and kill the officers and soldiers.

The two sides chased and fled, only two miles away, and it is unknown how many corpses the officers and soldiers left behind.

Originally, the prefect of Nanyang was sitting in the mansion, waiting for the news of Ren Qian's success in attacking the camp.Unexpectedly, instead of good news, bad news came.

His first reaction was: "Mr. Ren Qian misunderstood me!", and his second reaction was: "Quickly lock the city gate, and beware of thieves taking the opportunity to seize the door!"

The prefect of Nanyang responded quite quickly, but the [-] soldiers outside the city were shut down outside the city.

When the disastrously defeated "Mao Gourd" came to the north gate of Nanyang Mansion, it couldn't be closed tightly.

The rebel cavalry who had chased outside the city were worried about the artillery bombardment on the city, and planned to retreat to the camp before making plans.

They never expected that the officers and soldiers would still operate like this, they immediately surrounded them outside the city like wolves, and reported to Zhang Shun to know.
