366 Defending
Spring is coming, birds are back, and flowers are blooming. The bright red flowers embellish the lonely earth, but there is something even redder than flowers in Wangjiang Pass, which is blood.
There was a lot of blood. In front of Wangjiang Pass, corpses were piled up like mountains and blood flowed into rivers. The blood dyed the earth red, which made people shocking, and even more shocking were the mountains of broken arms and limbs on the ground. The Daxi Army only had a small number of muskets and cannons, most of which were cold weapons such as bows, big knives, and spears. The Sichuan Army guarding the Pass was a total of firearms.
The cannons are powerful and have a large coverage. One shot cannon will be poured out. New muskets have fast ammunition and have a long range. Lu Haoshan has always been willing to sting ammunition for his subordinates to train, so the accuracy of these new musket soldiers is also good. The big western soldiers kept falling to the ground and dying with the sound of "bang bang". What we have to mention is grenades, which have lethality and can be used flexibly. The Western Army went through great hardships to rush under the city wall. Before they had time to celebrate, a round of grenades was thrown down, and the little threat that finally formed was immediately exploded.
The battle was extremely depressed, and he was beaten from beginning to end. Even if he was a musket, his range was lower than that of the Sichuan Army. Many Western Army were so angry that they were about to cry.
Courage and death cannot represent strength. The guns are like forests and bullets are like rain. The Daxi Army fell one after another. The scene is like a massacre. Although the Sichuan Army also suffered certain casualties, it is insignificant compared with the Daxi Army.
It is said that life is like a play, and some people say that it is more appropriate to describe it as gambling, because the future is full of unknowns and variables. Sometimes doing things is like gambling, so there are wins and losses when there are gambling. Some people become winners in life. Of course, some people are losers in life. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong is like a gambler with red eyes.
More like a gambler who loses his eyes.
Since the strong attack was ordered, those bad news has been coming:
"Report, the second team was wiped out."
"Report that General Zhao from the third team was killed by artillery."
"Report that the captain of the Seventh Team led his troops to escape, and the supervisory team has put them all on the spot to rectify the Dharma."
"Reported that General Ai was injured and hit a leg in his thigh, and the blood flowed continuously. Now he is guarded by Doctor Wu."
………
The bad news seemed to have never stopped. Zhang Xianzhong's face became more and more gloomy. Now his heart was all on the siege, and even if his adopted son Ainengqi was injured, he didn't have time to pay attention.
There were fewer and fewer people around me. I thought I could capture a small pass at a cost, but I didn't expect that I was so stubborn. Slowly, the small Wangjiang Pass turned into an insurmountable pass in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes, and Zhang Xianzhong's heart, who had always been conceited, began to shake.
"Strange, why are there more and more people fighting?" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly said to himself.
Liu Wenxiu, who was standing beside him, said in a low voice: "The adoptive father, the child is also confused about these things. He said that there are only one thousand households in Wangjiang Pass, but after preliminary estimates, there are about three to five thousand people on the city wall, could it be..."
Zhang Xianzhong frowned and said, "Can it be something?"
Liu Wenxiu, who has always been good at thinking, whispered: "It should be that our information is wrong. The simplest point is that the number of people varies too much. I heard that Wangjiang Pass has recently transferred a lot of food, grass and other supplies, not only by car, but also by ship. If someone lies in the food, it will be unknown and unaware of it."
"Ai Nengqi, that evil beast, knows nothing about such an important thing, and it is simply worth killing!" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly said with an angry look on his face.
If Ainengqi appeared in front of him at this time, he would definitely be slashed with one knife.
Sun Kewang said with a worried look: "Edited father, this is very likely to be a hidden trap. The child has broken through Yunyang, but he has never encountered many difficulties. By the way, from Hunan to Sichuan, the biggest resistance we encountered was Zhang Rui's subordinates who led Lu Wenhua to unify Sichuan and split the soil as king. He is a famous figure in Sichuan, but this person, with his subordinates, led the death row prisoners to resist us with those old-fashioned muskets, but look at the new muskets now."
"Entertainment father, now, what should I do now?" Liu Wenxiu said in a low voice.
"The retreat will take a long time."
When he said this, Zhang Xianzhong almost bit his lip, because he found that his most elite subordinates had already converted most of them in less than half a day. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.
Zhang Xianzhong firmly believes that money can make ghosts push the mills. If the light is not good, use the dark ones. At that time, send more detailed works to sneak into Sichuan to get samples of igniters. It is best to smuggle the craftsmen out. After obtaining these new weapons, his strength can be said to have skyrocketed overnight.
If you have hope to fight, it means you will persist, it means you will still touch it even if you know there is no hope, that means you have a flaw in your IQ.
"The adoptive father is wise." Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu wanted to run away long ago, but they were afraid of Zhang Xianzhong's tyranny and dared not give up. Now they didn't have to speak up and they solved it. The two of them suddenly became energetic.
"Entertainment Father, if we don't attack Wangjiang Pass, we will not be able to open the principle of leading to Chongqing. Then we..."
Hunan and Jiangxi cannot return. Zhang Xianzhong received information early in the morning. When his people were still fighting in Wanxian, Zuo Liangyu and the King of Sweeping the Floor, Yizhangqing and others divided up their territory. It was easy to eat it, but it was difficult to let them spit it out again.
"Wanxian!" Zhang Xianzhong said firmly.
If he cannot conquer for a while, it does not mean that Zhang Xianzhong wants to give up Sichuan. Now he has no way out. Li Zicheng has forced Chongzhen to death and proclaimed himself emperor in Beijing. He has been recruiting troops and receiving the troops and money of the Ming Dynasty. His power is growing stronger. In the past, he was not Li Zicheng's opponent, nor is it now. Besides, he has to lose troops and generals, so he can only look for fighter opportunities while recuperating.
Zhang Xianzhong's order was quickly implemented, and the Daxi Army once again called out the gold and retreated the troops. According to Zhang Xianzhong's idea, he dragged it until night, and then left quietly.
The soldiers of Daxi finally put down their tense nerves. Many people have secretly thanked their ancestors for their protection. Because if they rush down, they probably will be shot and killed by the Sichuan army in front of Wangjiang Pass.
The price is too great to bear, otherwise the bloodthirsty Zhang Xianzhongchang would not give up halfway.
As soon as the Daxi Army stopped, Lu Haoshan immediately noticed something strange. Seeing that there were signs of movement of the Daxi Army's central camp, he knew that Zhang Xianzhong could not resist the casualties and was about to escape. He showed a sneer on his lips and quickly said seriously: "Dingguo, Sun Xiong."
"I'm here," the two of them quickly responded loudly.
"You two each lead a cavalry and kill me hard."
