Chapter 237
"What do these people want to do?"

Liang Dazhuang really couldn't figure out what the purpose of these people was.

From the time he led troops into Henan, he encountered almost no decent resistance along the way.

Everywhere, the local defenders scrambled to surrender, for fear that their speed would be too slow.

When encountering gentry, they either fled south or surrendered.

Now that someone who went against the norm suddenly appeared, Liang Dazhuang was really puzzled.

This army is orderly, and when marching, the orders are consistent, and it doesn't look like they are coming to surrender.

"Could it be that they want to come and attack me?"

Sitting in the Luoyang governor's yamen, Liang Dazhuang's face was full of disbelief.

He didn't quite believe his conjecture. According to various indications, the possibility was very high.

"No matter what your purpose is, if you don't surrender, then there is only one dead end!"

Liang Dazhuang's eyes flashed fiercely.

His hero, my enemy.

As a soldier, the primary goal is to destroy the enemy.

This doubt didn't last long. When the scouts he sent captured a few tongues, the real purpose of these soldiers became clear.

……

Liang Dazhuang personally led [-] elite soldiers out of Luoyang City and headed south slowly.

Among the 1000 elite soldiers, [-] were from the Chang'an Army.

The weapons and equipment of the Thousand Chang'an Army were very elite, but they had hardly encountered any decent battles along the way, so that Sun Jie's goal could not be achieved for a long time.

Liang Dazhuang naturally knew Sun Jie's plan, so this time he transferred the Thousand Chang'an Army out.

Because it was not far from Luoyang City, they didn't carry many weapons. They packed lightly and started heading south with their weapons on their backs.

The army was marching on the official road, and it was getting closer and closer to the two thousand soldiers and horses of King Tang.

The young general sent by the king of Tang didn't know about this. Although he also sent Yebushou outside, their efficiency was too low, and their whereabouts were already exposed before they saw anyone.

The snow in the sky was a little heavier, and Liang Dazhuang led his troops to a place about four miles in front of King Tang's army.

It wasn't until this time that the young general discovered what Liang Dazhuang and the others were doing.

It wasn't that they found Liang Dazhuang's soldiers and horses on their own initiative, but because Ye Bushou in this direction almost never came back, or they were all injured.

No matter how stupid the young general was, he knew that there was an ambush ahead. He didn't back down, and led the soldiers and horses to move forward.

The army lined up neatly, in an offensive posture, and marched forward indomitably.

This distance doesn't even use drones, the telescope can see them clearly.

The thousand soldiers of the Chang'an Army formed their own line, and they did not wait for Liang Dazhuang's arrangement.

Under the command of the leader, the construction of mortar positions began.

The construction of the position to attack the roe deer was very simple, and it took about [-] minutes.

All preparations have been made and the gunners are in combat.

"fire!"

The commander gave the lead, and the shells fell into the barrel one by one.

"Boom, bang, bang!"

Bursts of gunfire rose in situ.

The shells spun in mid-air and fell into the young general's army.

Successive explosions sounded again and again in his army formation, and the broken shrapnel brought the roar of death, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the soldiers.

These soldiers marched in a very dense queue, so every explosion of a shell would take the lives of a large number of soldiers.

Just one face-to-face, just one round of shelling, these soldiers were blown to pieces.

The rate of fire of the mortar was very fast, and the shells fell on the young general's army like a torrential rain in an instant.

"what!!!"

The young general looked up to the sky and screamed.

There was a fierce light in his eyes, and the anger in his chest had spewed out of his chest.

But he was helpless, he could only watch the shells harvest the lives of his subordinates, but he couldn't do anything to help.

The air waves generated when the shells exploded rolled up the snowflakes that fell on the ground again and flew into the sky. These snowflakes turned red and were mixed with the blood of the soldiers.

A shell landed not far from him, and the flying shrapnel got into the neck of the horse under his crotch.

Blood gushed out like a water pump in an instant, the horse kicked its legs a few times, and fell heavily to the ground, and he was also swung on the ground by the horse.

Before he got up, a severed hand hit his head.

The blood instantly dyed the armor on his body red.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and under the blow of this kind of firepower, these soldiers of his did not have any will to resist at all.

Like a pool of water falling on the concrete floor, rushing in all directions.

These soldiers ran wildly and wildly.

The young general stood up, looked at the fleeing soldiers with a sad face, and kept shouting: "Come back, come back, come back!"

No one could hear his voice, and even if they could, they would pretend not to hear it.

The air was filled with the heavy smell of gunpowder smoke and blood. These smells mixed together made people's stomachs churn.

Soon after, the shelling ended.

These soldiers fled in all directions and became scattered, and the effect of the shelling was greatly reduced.

The remaining Chang'an army held 98K and began to chase the rout.

Liang Dazhuang also threw out the soldiers in his hands and chased them wildly across the land.

The advantage of the Chang'an army is obvious. The weapons in their hands have a very long range. As long as they can see the rout, if they are within the range, there is a high probability of killing them.

The fleeing soldiers often ran, were shot in the back, and threw themselves on the ground.

It's okay to hit a vital point, it kills you all at once, and you don't feel any pain. If you hit your thigh or those non-fatal places, the piercing pain is unbearable for them.

Liang Dazhuang held up the binoculars and looked at the weapons in the hands of the Chang'an Army, his eyes were full of fire.

"If this kind of weapon can be equipped with the whole army, then the swords and spears, bows and arrows and long guns will be completely useless.

Not only that, I am afraid that the armor worn by the soldiers will be completely useless! "

Yang Dazhuang whispered.

As the first student of the Daqin Military Academy, his vision and thinking are far broader than ordinary people.

This kind of weapon can kill the enemy a hundred steps away, and there is no possibility of hand-to-hand combat. How can a waist knife, spear or armor be useful?

"If we can equip the whole army with this kind of weapon, who else in the world is our opponent?"

Liang Dazhuang's face became hotter, and his saliva flowed down unknowingly.

There was no accident in this battle, it was as simple as a strong man beating a newborn baby.

The casualty ratio is also very terrible. A total of more than [-] enemies were killed and one person was injured.

The injured person sprained his foot because he was chasing too fast.

The sun was hidden below the horizon, and the rest of the time was basically spent chasing the prisoners and cleaning the battlefield.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up, the main thing is to bury or burn those who were killed.

In the era of the end of Ming Dynasty, there were constant epidemics. If these corpses could not be disposed of in time, there would be another round of epidemics in the spring.

The next morning, Liang Dazhuang led the soldiers back to Luoyang City to rest.

The prisoners were also escorted to Luoyang City. As for the escaped prisoners, Liang Dazhuang didn't bother to take care of them.These people don't have much effect, and they can't make any waves.

It was cold and windy, and it snowed heavily.

The young general sent by Zhu Yujian rode a war horse and galloped frantically towards the south.

His face was full of panic and fear.

All the previous anger was scattered by shelling and gunshots.

Recalling the scene he had encountered before, he was distraught and panicked.

After the artillery fire stopped, he rode a war horse and rushed towards Liang Dazhuang with a few guards.

But before he rushed far, a guard beside him fell to the ground, and then he heard the sound of a firecracker.

But he couldn't see where the musketeer was, all he could see was the undulating horizon except for the rout.

The gunner was like a ghost, hovering in front of him constantly.

The guards beside him fell to the ground one after another. This kind of scene made the scalp tingle.

Of course he couldn't see the soldiers who were shooting, because these people were basically lying on the ground.

They built a small shooting position, and called the roll call one shot at a time.

Smokeless gunpowder doesn't produce a lot of smoke, so they don't have to worry about being blinded by the smoke.

In addition, the shooting range is very far, so the teenagers can't see it naturally.

When the guards around him were almost dead, he didn't have the guts to continue charging.

He didn't know if he could rush over, and he didn't know if he could face Sun Jie's soldiers face to face. The dead guards next to him told him with their corpses that they might die before he rushed over.

Zhu Yujian asked him to test the strength of Sun Jie's soldiers and horses, but the price was indeed too high. The two thousand soldiers were basically wiped out.

The most unacceptable thing was that he couldn't see where Sun Jie's troops were at all.

The shelling at the beginning destroyed their morale.

After the shelling ended, the death did not disappear.

With the sound of gunfire, the soldiers lost their lives because they could not see where the enemy was.

His younger brother also died in this battle, pierced through the chest by a whizzing bullet.

He saw his younger brother leave this world with screams and struggles.

He wanted to fight Liang Dazhuang desperately, but this kind of battle without seeing the enemy really made him at a loss.

……

A few days later, the teenager returned to Nanyang.

When he told the ins and outs of the matter, Zhu Yujian was in a bad mood.

He knew that Sun Jie was very powerful, and he also knew that Sun Jie's strength was extraordinary, but he never expected that it would be so outrageous.

The fact that the two thousand soldiers I sent out died without even being able to see the shadow of the enemy is really unacceptable.

A deep sense of frustration came to him. He had never felt this way since the beginning of the war. This made him have deep doubts about himself for a while. If it wasn't for Lu Zhenfei's constant reassurance, he might not have felt this way. At that time, his heart was already in a mess.

At Lu Zhenfei's suggestion, he sent a troop south to Huguang to fight for himself.

After he arranges the affairs of Nanyang Mansion, he will lead the army and head south directly to Huguang.

This army had just entered Xiangyang when it ran into Zhang Xianzhong's army.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was already unusual, with many powerful firearms in his hands.

They were all matchlock guns provided to him by Van Diemen. Of course, they were not given for nothing, and they had to be bought with money.

The present Zhang Xianzhong is not the pauper that he was back then. After breaking through Prince Xiang's mansion, all the wealth accumulated by the mansion for a hundred years fell into his hands.

Just take out a little, and you can buy a lot of weapons.

Although many of Fan Dimen's subordinates were beaten to death by Zhang Xianzhong, under the benefit, these subordinates died as well.

In Van Diemen's view, it is totally worthwhile to exchange the deaths of these subordinates for a large amount of wealth.

Fan Di also believed that Zhang Xianzhong was Sun Jie.

I have to say that Zhang Xianzhong really has a way of fooling people.

That's right, Delser has never lived in the mainland, and he doesn't know much about the things here. In addition, the current situation is chaotic and the world is in turmoil, so it is difficult to understand these things.

To a certain extent, Fan Di and others don't care whether Zhang Xianzhong is Sun Jie or not.

He only cares about whether Zhang Xianzhong can bring him benefits. If Zhang Xianzhong can bring him benefits, then what's the point of changing someone else?
As long as he can help him win the entire Central Plains, what does it matter if Zhang Xianzhong is really Sun Jie?
After Zhu Yujian's army confronted Zhang Xianzhong's army, they fell into a stalemate for a while.

Zhu Yujian's army also has firecrackers, and there are quite a few of them.

The two sides fought fiercely in the north of Xiangyang.

For a while, Zhu Yujian was unable to go south.

Zhang Xianzhong was very satisfied with this. He stood at the head of Xiangyang city, looking north, with an excited expression on his face.

"I, Zhang Xianzhong, also felt proud when I was chased by the officers and soldiers like a dog, but now I have finally straightened up!
The weapons of these red devils are really powerful, and one day I will be able to block the officers and soldiers."

In his eyes, Zhu Yujian is the official army.

A while ago, before he came to Xiangyang, his army also fought against Zhu Yujian's army, but he was defeated so badly that he was almost pushed to the ground by Zhu Yujian's army.

Now that Zhu Yujian can be blocked there and unable to go south, this makes him let out a fierce breath of anger.

However, Li Dingguo, who was standing behind him, was not as relaxed as he was.

He looked at Zhang Xianzhong's back and said, "Father, King Tang's strength is extraordinary, but now that he's heading south in such a hurry, I'm afraid something will happen to him in the north.

The spies we left over there have not been able to send back any news. Maybe there is a big change there. From my child's point of view, maybe Sun Jie led the troops to go south! "

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the north and said indifferently:
"What does it have to do with us when he led the troops to the south? Besides, he was also the king of Tang who died first. Why are you following around?"

"My boy thinks that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Sun Jie's strength is too terrifying. If King Tang is eliminated, then we will be next!"
