The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 164 Bloody Battle in Rainy Night

Chapter 162

With Zheng Hongkui's order, the whole army was quickly mobilized,

Back then, in order to show off their prestige, all the elites were brought out from Fujian.

When suppressing the bandits, they absorbed a lot of fresh blood in the army, and continued to suppress and practice,

Let Zheng Hongkui feed them into loyal and loyal soldiers one by one,

It is no exaggeration to say that Zheng Hongkui's Zheng family army is the most elite and capable Zheng family army of the Zheng family.

Behind is the flooded Shaxi, it can be said that it is a last-ditch battle,
Seeing his subordinates lined up neatly in the rain with strict military discipline,

Zheng Hongkui was faintly proud and half excited,

With this tiger and wolf team, Zheng's goal is definitely not just a small Fujian.

"Report, the enemy is three miles away from the camp"

"Report, the enemy is two miles away from the camp"

"Report, the enemy is one mile away from the camp"

The scouts have been reporting the location of the incoming enemy, Zheng Hongkui has been standing still,
On rainy days, the road is not easy to walk.
It is better to take the initiative to attack than wait for work, waiting here for the opponent to come to die.

Zheng Hongkui kept a sneer on his lips,
That Lu Changle, led a group of mud feet and won a few battles with dirty means, really thought he was the God of War?
She is quite courageous, she wants to attack herself in the middle of the night, even if her whereabouts are exposed, she will not run away.

Willing to fight by himself, do you have the strength?
Lu Changle led the rural protection team forward with one foot deep and one shallow foot,
"Listen everyone, don't worry, the queue can't be messed up"

"Without an order, you must not attack without authorization."

"Make more fire cages, watch your feet"

As the head coach of the rural protection team, Gan Hui kept giving orders.

Lu Jinyuan wanted to guard the newly formed navy, and couldn't get away.
Apart from Lu Changle, Gan Hui is the biggest player in the rural protection team.

Yang Qijun came over with a fire cage to light the way for Lu Changle: "General, watch the road carefully."

Lu Changle nodded and said, "Team Leader Yang is here."

"Don't dare, this is what the subordinates should do"

The rain has been falling, heavy for a while, small for a while, pattering, it just never stops,

Lu Changsheng, Lu Changhe, and Yang Qiyi each led an elite team to eradicate Zheng's army's open posts and secret posts.
In this way, Lu Changle and his party can get as close as possible,
Ordinary lanterns can’t be used in rainy days, the village protection team uses fire lanterns,

Build a small iron cage, and use iron sheets to make a rain-proof cover,

Inside the cage are sticks of wood soaked in turpentine, and once burned, the fire is big and hot,

Occasionally drifting some rain into the fire cage does not affect the burning.

"It's all my fault. If the secret post is taken down, the Zheng surname will not be so vigilant." Lu Changhe said with a face full of self-blame.

As soon as Zheng Hongkui entered Tingping Mansion, his every move was under the surveillance of the intelligence team.
There are telescopes, which can maximize the efficiency and safety of the intelligence team,

The intelligence team has already marked the location of the guard post and the patrol team on the map.
When Lu Changhe led his men to raid a dark sentry, there were three people in the dark sentry,
One of them went out to defecate in the middle of the night, and escaped unharmed, so that he leaked the news,
Raiding on a rainy night, seeing how the Zheng family's army lined up so neatly, they lined up early and waited,
The raid turned into a head-on confrontation, and the opponent was still waiting for work. Lu Changhe couldn't help but blame himself again.

Lu Changle comforted: "Zheng Hongkui has been suppressing bandits all the time. His vigilance is not comparable to that of others. He can touch four miles before being exposed. It's very good. Changhe. There is no general victorious on the battlefield, and there is no sure-fire formula. Just adapt to the situation." .”

"General, I would like to be the vanguard so that I can atone for my crimes." Lu Changhe asked for a fight.

Something has happened, find a way to make up for it.

As soon as the words fell, Li Dingguo suddenly came over and asked Ying: "General Lu, Zheng Hongkui is the culprit who killed the Three-Eyed King. The Three-Eyed King treats me like a brother. I would like to lead a team to fight forward. Thank you General for not killing me." Second, take this opportunity to avenge the Three-Eyed King."

When he took refuge in the Three-Eyed King, the Three-Eyed King treated Li Dingguo well,

They also burned yellow paper, chopped chicken heads, and became brothers with different surnames.

Although it was used, Li Dingguo was still grateful to the Three-Eyed King,

Fighting is my strong point. Show off your skills in front of the rural protection team and leave a good impression on everyone.

It's also good to win people over in the future.

"General, please leave the matter of charging and enlisting to the younger one, so that the younger one can have the opportunity to make contributions and avenge the death of his brother." Zhou Guoping also stood up and volunteered.

Captives are used to consume the enemy's arrows and vigor. This is an unwritten rule on the battlefield.
Many brothers were imprisoned, and their family members were also in the hands of Lu Changle.
Zhou Guoping guessed that he must have brought those subordinates as cannon fodder.
Anyway, we have to rush to the front, why not take the initiative to ask for a fight, let people look up to you,
After the death in battle, the family members also had a better life.

"General, let me go"

"General, let me go, I want to make up for my mistakes"

"Let me go first, I want to take the blame and make meritorious service"

Seeing the three vying to be the striker, Lu Changle waved his hand and said, "Okay, there's no need to fight, the three of you don't need to play the striker, just follow orders."

In order not to be cannon fodder, others tried their best to find reasons to shirk,

Unexpectedly, the three of them rushed to play.

Especially Li Dingguo, Lu Changle brought him by his side just to let him see how powerful the Township Protection Team is,
It was beyond Lu Changle's expectation that he took the initiative to invite the battle.

"Yes, General" as soon as the order was mentioned, the three of them quickly accepted the order.

While speaking, the village protection team was only [-] steps away from Zheng Jiajun.

Gan Hui ordered everyone to stop advancing, and Zheng Jiajun on the opposite side did not move.

Soon, Huang Zhonghui's messengers holding the Zheng Zijun flag rode forward,
Shouted loudly: "General Zheng asked, who is here?"

Under Lu Changle's signal, Gan Hui rode up with a Baozi flag in his hand, and replied loudly: "We are the village protection team under General Lu Changle's order to suppress the bandits. We are ordered by the general to suppress the bandits."

"Bold, my general is Zheng Zongbing's younger brother. He made great contributions in suppressing the bandits in Fujian. The emperor personally named him General Zhenwei. If you don't hurry up and get off your horse, you will be captured. If you are sincere, the general may forgive your unintentional mistake."

The Zheng family's army is on the road and suppressing bandits. They are very tired these days.
Now it's rainy night again, if you can bluff your opponent, that's the best.

Gan Hui said loudly: "So it's the well-known General Zhenwei, no respect, no respect."

"It's good to know that you are wrong, let your people put down their weapons, and then follow me to the general to plead guilty. The general has a lot, and he will spare your life." Huang Zhonghui was overjoyed and quickly persuaded.

How could the general be happy if he took down the rural protection team without moving a single soldier.

Gan Hui shook his head and said, "Thieves and bandits are rampant now, how do I know if General Zhenwei is a real person or just a fake one?"

"It's easy to handle. I can take you to meet the general. After meeting, everything will be clear."

"No, I don't know if you have ambushed. If you ambush the knife and axe, then I will be a sheep." Gan Hui refused without thinking.

Huang Zhonghui asked impatiently: "Then what do you want to do?"

"It's dark now, it's hard to see clearly, how about this, let's offend you, put down your weapons, let us search one by one, make sure it's not a fake, and then we will plead guilty to General Zheng."

"Looking for death, you're just entertaining me." Huang Zhonghui roared angrily.

Put down your weapons and let you search slowly?

Is there still life?
How did Zheng Zhenchuan and the East Route Army die? Huang Zhonghui also read the secret report.

"You entertained me first." Gan Hui said with a sneer, "I left for most of the night just to clean up you, not to waste time here talking to you."

Running here in the middle of the night in the rain is desperate,

At this time, I still want to scare myself in a whimsical way,
How can there be such a naive person.

"Think it over, if you really want to start a fight, you rabble can't stop the Zheng family's elite division and keep attacking, and it will be too late for you to surrender." Huang Zhonghui still wanted to make a final effort.

Gan Hui kicked lightly with his right foot, and kicked up the bow hanging on the saddle. With a stretch of his left hand, he took the bow in his hand at once, and with his right hand, he drew an arrow from the quiver behind him like lightning.

Take the arrow and bend the bow and shoot it in one go,
The sharp arrow hit the ass of Huang Zhonghui riding the horse,

With a hiss, the horse suddenly raised its front hooves in pain, almost throwing Huang Zhonghui off the horse.
"Get out, if you don't leave, the next arrow will kill you." Gan Hui shouted loudly.

"Okay!" The members of the rural protection team in front saw how domineering the head coach, and they all applauded loudly.

Huang Zhonghui turned pale with fright, and fled back on horseback in embarrassment.

The horses are so big, so close, shooting a horse is nothing,
What made Huang Zhonghui feel palpitations was Gan Hui's shooting speed, which was too fast.

I only saw Gan Hui seemed to move a bit,
Before he had time to react, the horse had already been hit by an arrow.

If he was aiming at himself, he would definitely die.

Negotiations were reversed, and even the envoy was molested. Zheng Hongkui was furious.
Immediately order Zheng Zhenshan and Huang Zhonghui to lead the three armed forces to attack across the board,

Leaving only the cavalry and the rear for backup,
Either you don't make a move, or if you make a move, you will completely suppress Lu Changle.

"Brothers of Fengziying, kill with me"

"Brother Lin Ziying, go ahead!"

"General Zhenwei has an order to reward 20 taels of silver for killing one person."

"General Zhenwei ordered that whoever catches Lu Changle, regardless of life or death, will be rewarded with 3000 taels of gold."

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. The Zheng family's army, who had been a little sluggish, rushed forward one by one like chicken blood.

You can get 20 taels of silver for killing a person. If you are lucky enough to catch Lu Changle,

With 3000 taels of gold, you don't have to worry about it for a few lifetimes.

Looking at his imposing subordinates, Zheng Hongkui nodded secretly,

This soldier is not in vain, this money is not in vain,

It is estimated that one charge will crush the opponent,
A group of wolves surrounding a group of sheep that are smaller than themselves is not easy to deal with.

A trace of contempt flashed in Zheng Hongkui's eyes,
My own people have already charged, but the rural protection team still didn't respond.

Charge not only relieves tension,
Strength and courage will also be greatly improved in the charge,
I really don't know how this nephew Zheng Du fell on a young man.

There was a sudden shout from the opposite side of "Musketeers Prepare".

Zheng Hongkui's heart tightened, but soon he thought of something, and the contemptuous eyes in his eyes became more intense,
Moderate rain turned into heavy rain. With such heavy rain and wind, it was impossible to light a fire at all.

Today's firearms are not even comparable to fire sticks.

It's really a bluff and doesn't look at the target to prepare for the Musketeers.

As if there was a tacit understanding, Huang Zhonghui's mocking voice came from the darkness: "This kind of ghostly weather is still firing guns, bluffing your grandpa, brothers, promotion and fortune will be tonight, kill!"

Zheng Zhenshan echoed loudly: "If you kill one, you will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. Brothers, hurry up and grab the money, kill Lu."

Before I finished speaking, I saw "bang bang bang bang bang."

In the darkness, countless flames suddenly protruded from the opposite side,
Knock down a large group of Zheng Jiajun who rushed to the front,

Including Zheng Zhenshan, who took the lead in charging and hadn't finished shouting.

For a moment, Zheng Hongkui standing on the sentry box was dumbfounded.

In such a heavy rainy day, the gunpowder is also wet, and the ignition is not easy, and the firearm is more like a decoration.
I kept staring, but I didn't see the other party igniting the fire, and I didn't see the fire igniting the fire.

Hell, how did the musket fire?
"Bang bang bang bang bang."

"Bang bang bang bang bang."

The gunfire continued, and Zheng Jiajun kept screaming and falling down,

The Zheng family's army, who had been so imposing just now, was obviously a bit wilted in attacking.
Zheng Hongkui said loudly: "The number of muskets on the opposite side is very small, beat the drums, and the whole army will attack."

The gunshots are not too dense. Judging from the muzzle flashes, it is estimated that there are only about a hundred muskets.

In such a heavy rain, they didn't see them lighting a fire, but the muskets rang,

There are oddities.

We can't go on like this anymore, the opponent doesn't have many firearms, and the number of people is also small,

The place is flat and has a wide view, and it has been checked that there are no traps.

Why don't you just attack with the whole army and take down the rural protection team in one fell swoop with superior force, once and for all,
The Baoxiang team is only in the early 1s, even if they exchange one for one, they are sure to win.
It is better for the Zheng family's elite troops to kill them head-on than for them to run into the deep mountains and climb mountains and mountains to encircle them.

The result of careful training over the years is good,

Zheng Hongkui's order was quickly passed on with flags and drums,
More than [-] Zheng Jiajun took up arms one by one, like hungry wolves pounced on the rural protection team,
In their eyes, the rural protection team is a moving silver ingot,

It is estimated that it is a little stronger than the mob of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, not much stronger,

Rushed up to pick up money,
Under heavy rewards, there must be warriors. Under the stimulation of money,
The shouts of killing from Zheng Jiajun also covered up the sound of the small number of muskets.

Seeing the enemy rushing up like ants,

Under the faint light of the fire, those ferocious faces looked like devils emerging from hell,

Two hundred steps, 150 steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps
Waiting for this moment,
Instead of being surprised, Lu Changle was overjoyed, took a gong, knocked it loudly and shouted, "Drop the bomb."

Hearing Lu Changle's roar and the sound of the gong,

The group leaders and group leaders shouted loudly: "Drop the bomb, hurry up!"

The trained team members took out grenades wrapped in oiled paper one after another,

Pull the lead wire with your hand, count to three in your heart, and then throw it at the rushing Zheng Jiajun with all your strength.
One after another, grenades fell into the crowd of Zheng Jiajun like rain,

No one cared, many Zheng Jiajun thought the village protection team was throwing stones,
Some of the soldiers who were hit were still laughing secretly at the lack of strength of the rural protection team, who threw stones without picking up freshman ones.

There are also sharp-eyed people who find abnormalities, those guys called grenades, their buttocks seem to be smoking faintly,
Before they figured it out,
"Boom" "Boom"

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom".
There were constant explosions in the Zheng family's army,
Every explosion sounded, followed by a scream,

Before Zheng Jiajun understood what was going on, he was blown to pieces and fell to the ground in pieces.

It seems that there are immortals punishing Zheng Jiajun from heaven,
In a blink of an eye, the scene was like Shura hell,

There are stumps and broken flesh everywhere, and people screaming and screaming everywhere,
What made Zheng Jiajun desperate was that the people of the rural protection team kept throwing that mysterious grenade.
