Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 140 Great Victory in Longquan Town! [Specially added for the lord]

Zeng Ying didn't know that in history, he was shot by Ainengqi with a bow and arrow in the river battle at Fotu Pass in Chongqing, and fell into the water and died.

If he knew, he might panic at this moment.

In fact, even if he didn't know, he was a little flustered at this moment, but his heart was not flustered.

He quickly took out his riding shield and blocked it in front of him.

Boom!
The arrow fell on the riding shield, shaking his arm slightly numb, and the arrow even showed a little of the riding shield, causing several cracks.

This shows the power of Ainengqi's arrow.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and put down his riding shield, he heard the scream of arrows piercing the air again.

"Lang Jun, be careful!"

Dong Qiongying beside him exclaimed, and cut straight at him with the Miao Dao in his hand.

Zeng Ying also hurriedly ducked down.

puff!
Although the shaft of the arrow was severed by Dong Qiongying, the broken arrow hit the flagpole of Zeng Zijiang's flag, causing the flag to shake for a while.

Fortunately, his flagpole was made of high-quality poplar wood, which was relatively thick, otherwise it might have been broken by Ainengqi's arrow.

Zeng Ying raised his head and saw Ai Nengqi in front of him surrounded by heavy siege, his bow was cut off, and many archers and musketmen were aiming at him, and hurriedly shouted: "This man is Ai Nengqi, adopted son of Zhang Thief, you must kill him!" Capture it alive!"

Hearing this, Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, Hu Fengming, Tao Kefa and other heroes who followed Zeng Ying stepped forward to besiege Ai Nengqi.

Although Ai Nengqi was brave, he was no match for four hands with two fists, let alone he was in the army right now.

Within a minute or two, Ai Nengqi was wounded and captured alive by Li Zhanchun and others.

After being captured, Ainengqi had the time to look back at the situation on the battlefield.

After he rushed into Zeng Ying's army, only a small area around him was in chaos. The army formed by nearly [-] elite infantry was quite large, and the other parts were commanded by generals, and there was no disturbance at all.

And those thieves who followed Ainengqi into the battle were not as well equipped as him, nor as brave as him.

Many of them were shot and killed by firecrackers, bows and arrows before they rushed into the army formation.

Those who were lucky enough to rush into the army were quickly besieged and killed by swordsmen and spearmen.

Only the seven or eight hundred riders at the back, seeing that the situation was not good, and without Ainengqi's restraint, fled to both sides of the battlefield.

It was just that in the process of escaping, some were shot down by firecrackers, bows and arrows, and tiger crouching guns that fired live ammunition.

Further to the east, Yang Zhan and Cao Xun followed Zeng Ying's instructions before the battle. After fighting Ainengqi's cavalry, they did not take care of the rear.

Feng Shuangli's battlefield command and ability to adapt to the situation is very good.

When he saw the cavalry of the officer army rushing forward, he didn't foolishly insist on gathering all the infantry, but let the thousands of infantry who gathered first go to intercept them.

But Yang Zhan and Cao Xun are not stupid, and they also have good combat capabilities.

The two led one or two thousand cavalry each to bypass the bandit formation, and rushed towards the large group of infantry who were gathering but had not yet formed an formation!

"kill!"

Rushing into the group of bandits, Yang Zhan shouted loudly, and swept the iron spear in his hand left and right, beating the bandits he passed to either death or injury.

These bandit soldiers are not elite, many have no helmet or armor, only one weapon, and even their fighting skills are touchingly clumsy.

Seeing Yang Zhan's bravery and many cavalry rushing over, many of them turned around and fled.

Seeing this, Yang Zhan hung his spear on the horse, took out his bow and arrows, and shot to death some people who were suspected of being bandit generals in armor.

Then take the cavalry and continue to attack some bandits who want to gather to resist.

The same is true for Cao Xun on the other side.

The two of them led three or four thousand cavalry to charge back and forth two or three times on the official road, except for the thousands of bandit soldiers who gathered first and formed their formation, the rest of the bandit soldiers scattered and fled in all directions.

Yang Zhan knew that if these people were allowed to flee back, they might become Zhang Xianzhong's bandits again.

So he led the cavalry to chase and kill, while shouting: "Those who kneel and surrender will not be killed!"

In fact, according to the combat habits that Yang Zhan and Cao Xun had developed in the army, they should take the opportunity to hunt down and kill more people at this time.

Because Daming recorded meritorious service by the head of the enemy army.

But during the two days in Chengdu, they have already learned that Auntie Zhu has established new military regulations.

The first goal of all military operations is to complete combat missions.

If the combat mission is not completed, no matter how many beheads there are, it will not be regarded as credit and will be dealt with by military law.

Secondly, in the battle against the bandits, the credit of the prisoners is higher than that of the heads.

If it is in a battle against foreign enemies such as the Tartars, the leader and the prisoners are the same credit.

It was precisely because of this that Yang Zhan restrained the desire to kill in his bones and made the defeated soldiers surrender on their knees.

About two quarters of an hour later.

On the official road near Hujiawan, Longquan Lake, only the [-] bandit soldiers that Feng Shuangli had originally gathered were still organized.

The rest of the thieves were either killed or surrendered on their knees, and only a small number escaped.

Zeng Ying brought nearly [-] elite infantry with almost no losses, and three or four thousand cavalry led by Yang Zhan and Cao Xun, and surrounded Feng Shuangli's more than [-] bandits.

Then, Zeng Ying had someone escort Ainengqi to the front of the battle, and then sent someone to shout.

"Feng Shuangli, you have been defeated, even Ai Nengqi has been captured, do you still have to resist?"

In the bandits.

Feng Shuangli frowned.

As a veteran general who followed Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion in his early years, his status under Zhang Xianzhong belonged to the third level, second only to Ainengqi and other four adopted sons.

Originally, he was supposed to lead a team to fight alone.

But Zhang Xianzhong was worried that Ai Nengqi, the forward general, would make mistakes, so he sent him to serve as Ai Nengqi's lieutenant temporarily.

Looking back on this big defeat, the only thing he regretted was that Ainengqi didn't stop the pawns from dismounting to let the mules and horses go.

It's just that they sent many scouts to check the situation on the road early on the march, ruling out the possibility of being ambushed.

Coupled with the fact that Longquan Town was approaching, and it was confirmed that there was no ambush, it was not a big mistake for Ainengqi to let the infantry let their mules and horses go before entering the town.

Who would have thought that the officers and soldiers would attack quickly from several miles away as if they saw their flaws?

More importantly, neither he nor Ai Nengqi thought that there were more than 1 elites in Chengdu!

If the officers and soldiers in the past had encountered an ambush, not to mention an interception, they might have won.

So, where did the more than 1 elites come from in Chengdu?

Feng Shuangli didn't have time to think about it.

Because he saw Zeng Ying's army launched a tiger squatting gun...

Chengdu.

Ordinary people still live as in the past month, and the streets are still bustling.

But in the various yamen and military camps, there was a tense atmosphere.

Chief Secretary Yamen.

The governor Long Wenguang was sitting in the lobby, and the deputy inspector Zhang Jimeng, the inspector Liu Zhibo and other major senior officials in Sichuan were also there.

"Hey, it's been almost two days since Zeng Ying and Hong Niangzi led their troops out of the city, why hasn't there been any news?" Zhang Jimeng frowned tightly, his face full of worry, "These [-] infantry and [-] cavalry are most of the elite troops in the city. , shouldn’t they be ruined in a single battle?”

Hearing this, Liu Zhibo couldn't help yelling softly: "What nonsense did the inspector say? Since there is no news, wouldn't your speculating like this disturb our army's morale?"

Zhang Jimeng blushed when he was told, and kept silent.

Seeing this, Long Wenguang spoke to ease the atmosphere, saying: "No wonder Liu Xunyong, Zhang Yan is also worried about the war ahead.

But it was true, how could Jian Guo completely hand over such an important battle to those warriors?

Even if you don't let me wait to go to supervise the army, it's okay to send that Li Yan there.At least Li Yan should know the seriousness and will inform Chengdu of the progress of the battle in time. "

In fact, Liu Zhibo was also dissatisfied with Auntie Zhu's failure to send civil officials to oversee the army, so he did not refute what Long Wenguang said.

After thinking for a while, he said: "What kind of person Jian Guo is, you and I have learned something about it in the past month.

Since she sent Zeng Ying and others to meet the vanguard of the bandit army led by Ainengqi, they must be sure of victory. "

However, Long Wenguang was still not optimistic about this battle, saying: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you are sure, you may not be able to win.

The bandit army is powerful, and I have a chance to win if I defend Chengdu. I really don't understand why Jian Guo wants Zeng Ying to go out of the city to fight.

Let me tell you, this..."

Before Long Wenguang finished speaking, he heard the sound of galloping horseshoes and loud shouts on the street——

"Great victory!"

"Great victory in Longquan Town!"
