The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 168 The Night Visit
Hearing this, Shi Fu hurriedly looked to the north, and saw a distance of one or two miles, the Ming army that had been chasing from Pucheng was coming here in several neat square formations.

There are three or four spears in the formation, which look like a moving forest from a distance, and a large number of gunners hidden under the "trees" can be vaguely seen.

It's really a leak in the house and it rains all night!Shi Fu shouted in his heart that something was wrong, turned his head and looked at the direction of Jian'an, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and ordered the whole army to break through to the north.After all, these pursuers had been galloping behind him all the time, and they definitely wouldn't be carrying cannons.

Zhu Linmi also saw through the binoculars the black "high imitation" Dragon Guard uniforms and the huge "Zhen" banner in the distance, so she knew that Zhen Zhen led the troops to catch up.

He then ordered: "The whole army keeps its formation and advances slowly. Just let the artillery battalion fire its cannons to deter. Don't accidentally injure the Polu battalion on the opposite side. The cavalry wait for the enemy to break up before attacking."

"Yes!"

Now that he has formed a pincer attack, he is not in a hurry to wipe out the enemy.The large group of troops pressed forward continuously and steadily, so that the morale of the enemy was constantly worn away under the huge pressure, so that Shi Fu's troops could be taken down with minimal casualties.

Just as Zhu Linmei expected, amidst the neat drumbeats behind him and the roar of cannons that sounded from time to time, the Qing army rushed towards the Polu camp tremblingly. The very neat formation is even more chaotic.

Suddenly, I heard the Ming army shouting in unison in front of me, "Make the team in place!"

The Ming army stopped a hundred and fifty or sixty steps away, and quickly aligned the slightly skewed formation due to movement, and it turned into five sharp-edged rectangles in a short while.

Then the Polu camp shouted again: "Spear forward!"

Accompanied by a sound of stepping on the ground, thousands of wolf whisks, one-foot long spears, and six-foot short spears in the five staggered square formations changed from a vertical marching state to pointing straight forward.Spears of varying lengths formed a wall of spikes in front of the phalanx.

Suddenly, the Qing army, which was timid and charging, was frustrated.It's not that they haven't seen the spear formation, but they have never seen such a neat spear formation.

The hundreds of people in each phalanx moved in unison, just like a single person. Being able to do so uniformly shows that this army must have undergone rigorous drills, and at the same time, the military discipline is very strict.

Just the aura displayed by the troops on the opposite side can stop these demoralized Qing troops from moving forward.Immediately, someone in Shi Fu's formation turned around and fled towards Huanghua Mountain, taking advantage of the supervisor's team not paying attention.

But soon, the sound of drums behind them gradually approached, and every Qing soldier realized that those Ming troops equipped with cannons were coming up!

No one chose to bravely attack the enemy line as commanded by Shi Fu, and the large number of pirates in the Qing army immediately showed their nature-greedy and cowardly.

From the initial fleeing of individual soldiers, it turned into a group of dozens or dozens of people fleeing in an instant.

Finally, when the infantry line of the Dragon Guards advanced to about [-] steps away from the enemy, they uttered a neat roar of "Kill!" Before they could raise their guns and fire a volley, Shifu's troops collapsed amidst the terrifying roar. .

Those who got into Huanghua Mountain ran towards Nanpu River if the water quality was good, but more Qing troops chose to escape around the sides of the Polu camp.

Only a moment later, the hussars and dragoons of the Dragon Guards rode out from the formation, forming a temporary squad of more than ten people, chasing and defeating the enemy in all directions.

Zhu Jiadi glanced at the neatly lined men with helmets and armor behind him, and sighed helplessly. Chasing the enemy is not the strong point of heavy cavalry.

This time his first cavalry battalion waited in Jian'an for two days, and finally arrived at the captive army. They didn't even have a chance to make a move, and the enemy was scared and scattered by a roar.

……

Xu time.

Branches on the moon.

South of Tianxing Mansion.

Lin Yuji, a scholar of the cabinet and the right servant of the Ministry of rites, has been twitching his right eyelid recently, which makes him quite annoyed.

He was having a drink in the flower hall, when he heard the housekeeper came to report that a person who claimed to be "Master's old friend from the north" came to pay a visit, but he didn't get any post.

"Old friend?" Lin Yuji frowned slightly, thinking about who it was, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man in a blue gown suddenly appearing beside him, and he stood up abruptly in fright, "Who?! "The wine glasses fell to the ground.

He was about to call loudly for the guardian, when he heard the man in green shirt say in a deep voice, "Master Lin, are you all right?"

When Lin Yuji heard the words, he immediately swallowed the word "coming person" just mentioned in his throat. When he saw the appearance of that person, his eyes widened as if stung by a scorpion, and he raised his trembling right hand and pointed at him. Said: "You, why do you..."

He suddenly thought of something, pulled the old housekeeper and asked in a deep voice: "Who else saw this Mr.... just now?"

The butler thought for a while, and said: "Go back to the master, there are only villains and those two disciples."

Lin Yuji immediately ordered: "Send the two of them to the countryside overnight. Remember, no one has come to my house tonight!"

The butler had also seen some things in the world. He was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Kindly remember."

Lin Yuji waited for the housekeeper to go far away, took the visitor in green shirt to the secret room, closed the door, turned around and said urgently: "Master Huang, why are you here? The Empress Dowager is expanding the Jinyiwei, if they find out, my head will be moved !"

"Hehe." The man in green shirt took off his hat and put it aside, but saw that the top of his head was shaved and only a long and thin braid remained at the back of his head.

He smiled slightly, and said disapprovingly: "Master Lin only brought a few followers and dared to seek the general to submit a letter, why is he afraid now?"

"This, this is different..." Lin Yuji wiped off his sweat and hurriedly asked again, "What happened to Mr. Huang?"

"It's easy to say," Huang Xiyin cupped his hands, "I'm here to give Master Lin a fortune."

"Rich?"

"Master Lin, do you know that Jian'an City has been surrounded by tens of thousands of Ming troops?"

Lin Yuji hurriedly said: "The mansion newspaper I saw just the day before yesterday stated that the [-] troops of King Chen's army besieged the city and were attacking it day and night." He couldn't help but straighten his waist when he said this, "The Eastern Army is running out of food and grass, so the time must be running out. "

"It turned out that it was King Chen who surrounded Jian'an City, and he had 2 troops." Huang Xiyin nodded slightly, "These must be reported to the general. Master Lin, you have made another contribution."

"I'm not you……"

Huang Xiyin waved his hands and said, "Lord Lin, don't panic, in fact, the lower officials brought the words of General Boluo."

He cupped his hands towards the west side, "As Lord Lin said, our army has run out of food and grass. The general begged Lord Lin to help find a way. But if the troops can get out of Fujian, I will thank you with 3 taels of gold. "

Lin Yuji took a step back abruptly, shook his head and said, "As a minister, how could I commit such an act of disloyalty and injustice for mere yellow and white things?"

"5 taels." Huang Xiyin remained unmoved.

Lin Yuji stretched out his hand and signaled towards the door, "The tens of thousands of people in Boluo have already become entangled turtles. What can I do as a civil servant? Mr. Huang, please come back."

　Thanks: Trajectory, stand on the coffin and shoot, the years are like a song, Pan Xuezhong, sugar and oil, please don't get close, Lin Zhifu Ling Fantasia gave me a generous reward!I wish you a happy Chinese New Year, a prosperous Year of the Dog and good luck in everything!Thank you for your company during the holidays!
