Chapter 280 The Battle of Wushi Mountain (1)
Seeing that the soldiers had finished eating and drinking, the horse was also resting, Geng Jimao quickly ordered: "Get on the horse!"
"Shaozong, go ahead, remember, control the horse speed." Geng Jimao saw that the soldiers had all got on the horse and ordered Chen Shaozong.
"Yeah!" Chen Shaozong immediately bowed his order and circled over the horse and headed forward to the team.
The team was on the road, but instead of riding a horse, he controlled his speed and trotted forward.
The Qing soldiers all understood that this was the rhythm of the charge. They held their strength before charging, and then they could become powerful after launching the charge, and maximize the power of the war horse. If they use all their strength at this time, their strength will be weakened when they catch the enemy.
The horse team trotted and advanced less than half an hour before reaching Wushi Mountain. Due to the reminder of Chen Shaozong in the previous episode, Geng Jimao looked up and observed. He saw that Wushi Mountain was steep and dense and deep, and was so quiet that it was scary. When Geng Jimao saw it, a trace of chill hit his heart, and unconsciously gave birth to a trace of ominous signs.
Just as he was about to order the army to stop advancing, a soldier from the front army came to report: "Report! A mile ahead found the Ming army emperor's Xinghuang Banner and a brigade of Ming army. General Chen asked for instructions to stop!"
Geng Jimao began to worry when he heard this: "This section of the road is too dangerous. If the Ming army really had an ambush, there was no need for anything else. After a round of rolling stones, our army would be wiped out! However, the credit for capturing and killing Emperor Yongli was too great. If this battle was successful, there would be no need to worry about glory and wealth for the rest of our lives."
After weighing the pros and cons, his eagerness to make contributions still made him lucky: "We are in danger of wealth and honor, grandma, if the Ming army is so good at fighting, can we lose the entire country? Maybe it's just to scare yourself!"
Thinking of this, Geng Jimao made up his mind. He pulled out his sabre, took his way forward, and said, "Charge!"
"Ao...ao...ao..."
When the Qing soldiers heard the order, they pulled out their swords, screamed, and rushed up. They trotted first, slowly accelerated, and gradually reached the highest speed.
The Qing soldiers had just won a great victory in the whole province, with high fighting spirit and murderous aura soaring into the sky. The sword shone with light under the sunlight, like a torrent, rushing west along the official road! The sound of hooves was like thunder, echoing on the empty mountain road, and you could feel the mountains under your feet trembling!
On the top of the mountain, Zhu Youlang saw this scene and couldn't help but take a breath: "The Qing soldiers are so powerful. If they weren't for grenades and mines, it would be really not easy to defeat them."
Looking back at his subordinates, he found that Lu Daqi, Chen Zizhuang's face turned pale and his body seemed to be shaking slightly. Even Chen Jitai, He Tengjiao, Chen Kuangxia, Li Guo and others who have seen many situations seemed to be in trouble.
Only Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu were not concerned about it, and there was a smile on the corners of his face and eyes.
"It's okay for Huang Zongxi. After seeing such a situation, Gu Yanwu is really a strange person. He was silent and did not panic at all when facing such momentum. It shows that his mind is strong and his psychological quality is not owned by ordinary people."
Besides, Geng Jimao immediately saw the yellow flags flying on the road ahead, and a team of people blocked the road in the middle of the road. He could vaguely see the appearance of the Ming general. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Catch Zhu Youlang alive and reward ten thousand taels of gold!"
At this moment, there was a loud "boom" sound, and there was a thunder sound in his ears. A fire flashed in front of him, and several horses flew into the air. Geng Jimao was shocked. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard the "boom" and "boom". The same sound of thunder sounded in front of him, and behind him at the same time. Each sound, several war horses and soldiers flew everywhere.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Geng Jimao then realized that he was ambushed! Is this the legendary grenade?
He wanted to control his seat to the horse, but he didn't expect that the horse would not listen to the greetings at all. He neighed to the sky, stood upright, and threw him down suddenly, and threw him into the grass on the side of the road. The war horse turned around and ran towards the way he came.
Geng Jimao was so sad that he was so sad that he got up to the ground. When he saw that his team was in chaos. All the war horses were screaming and ran around like headless flies. The soldiers were either bombed or thrown to the ground by frightened horses, and then trampled to death and injured.
Only a few smart soldiers quickly abandoned their horses and hid on the side of the road before avoiding the shocked horses.
His own war horse became the enemy's weapon to kill the enemy, which was unexpected to Geng Jimao.
"Dong!" "Dong!" "Dong!"
"Kill!"
The thunder-like sound did not sound anymore. Geng Jimao breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he heard the drums on the mountain. Then on the western mountain road, there were shouts of killing sounds on both hillsides. Geng Jimao looked up in fear and saw countless Ming soldiers appearing from the mountains and forests, with big rocks.
Looking back at my soldiers, they were full of broken limbs and broken arms, and they were running around everywhere, and they could not organize an effective attack.
"It's over, it's over. Is this a grenade? Didn't it mean that the Ming army's military weapon battalion exploded? Why is it still there? Did it be like Zhu Youlang's? The military weapon battalion was not destroyed at all? If that were the case, how could this battle be fought?" Geng Jimao felt cold in his heart when he thought of this.
"withdraw!"
Geng Jimao no longer hesitated, stood up and ordered Dao to the soldiers who were at a loss on the ground.
Under the leadership of Geng Jimao, the Qing soldiers ran eastward.
At this moment, Ming soldiers appeared on the hillsides on both sides, and iron lumps were thrown into the escaped Qing soldiers.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"...
The explosion sounded again, and dozens of Qing soldiers flew into the sky again!
Geng Jimao quickly lay down, "Bang!", a bloody broken hand flew over, hitting his face and landing in front of him!
Geng Jimao was shocked and looked at the broken hand and was completely desperate. It was just now that the iron lumps flying from the sky were also loud. What is this?
"The emperor has an order to save ammunition and don't throw grenades anymore. People still use grenades for this? Kill me!"
At this moment, Geng Jimao heard the Ming army officer's voice and then realized: "So this is a grenade. What was the sound of the ground just now?"
Before I could think about it, I quickly stood up and thought to myself, "As long as you don't use grenades, you're really good at swords and guns, we're not afraid!"
"Get up, get up! Fight with Ming Jun!"
Geng Jimao saw that there were about hundreds of soldiers on the mountain road. If he was hit with real swords and guns, these hundreds of people would have the power to fight and might be able to escape. He was still very confident in his soldiers' individual combat capabilities.
If there is hope, there is motivation. He hurriedly called his soldiers to rise up and prepare to resist.
