Chapter 1046 Bloody Shangyuan Festival (3)
"Boom..." The sudden explosion made Cai Jiu, who was dizzy in the car, shuddered. At the same time, the carriage he was riding suddenly stopped suddenly, causing his whole body to stagger forward. But at this time, he and the personal soldiers outside no longer cared about such trivial matters, because the sound of drums and the sound of killing from high places on both sides scared them. Cai Jiu leaned against the wall of the carriage and did not dare to act rashly.
The officers and soldiers of Jiangzhou outside were in chaos. They were not attacked by such terrible weapons at all. They were walking on the official road, and suddenly there was a flash of fire under their feet. At the same time, countless pieces of iron sand and iron were exploding like raindrops. They immediately shot dozens of people in that area covered in blood. After falling to the ground, they rolled and screamed.
Before they could react, the sound of drums and trumpets started again, and there were killing sounds everywhere on the high hills on both sides. Countless soldiers and horses attacked from side to side, stabbing the frightened middle of the army like two sharp knives, which immediately caused the entire Jiangzhou army to fall into greater panic, and many people could not even lift their weapons.
Before the people arrived, there were a wave of arrows like raindrops and hail and a porcelain bottle with sparks as big as fists. The whistling sound immediately broke the entire army into pieces with the rumbling sound. The soldiers were like frightened rabbits and didn't care about any formation and military discipline. They all screamed and fled forward and backward. As soon as the battle began, the Jiangzhou army, who thought they could seize control of Tokyo, was already in a collapse and had no fighting spirit.
But even if they wanted to escape, their opponents would not give them a chance. Because at this time, another team of cavalry sprinted like the wind, and was still a hundred steps away. Their arrows had already splashed over. When they approached, they waved their swords and guns, and rushed towards their prey like tigers and cheetahs. Together with their comrades attacking on both sides, they launched a fierce attack like rolling soup and pouring snow on the entire Jiangzhou army. On their charge, almost no one could stop them. It was like entering a nobody's land, rushing straight into the center of Jiangzhou army.
At this moment, countless Jiangzhou troops completely lost the courage to resist and could not even escape. So when the soldiers and generals who came from both sides roared: "Those who abandoned weapons can avoid death!" They all obediently followed suit, kneeling on the ground with empty hands.
Only the personal guards near the carriage in Cai Jiu tried to resist one or two. But immediately, they were bombed by a burst of broken bullets, causing heavy casualties, and they could not even have a decent defensive formation. Then the cavalry attacked and made the final harvest.
When the enemy was strong and we were weak, we were subjected to sudden attacks, and even our weapons were far inferior, this mighty general was defeated in the suburbs of Tokyo, which was about twenty miles away. Except for a few soldiers and generals who reacted quickly enough to escape, the others were either killed or captured. This was not a battle, it was clearly a one-sided massacre and suppression.
Wu Song and other generals who led the team to charge were still feeling unsatisfied and had not exerted their strength. These enemies had completely given up. Compared with that, the Liao and Jin people in the north were even more interesting.
Of course, Lin Chong, as the chief general of the army, did not have such a desire to underestimate the enemy. He immediately passed down one command after another, allowing those prisoners to be bound and taken into custody. He himself took his people to slowly walk to the carriage that was crossed in the middle of the road and had no movement for a long time.
With his wave of hand, soldiers from both sides rushed over, lifting the curtain of the car, revealing the contents inside. I saw a man in a vermilion official uniform in the car curled up all over, hiding in the corner of the car, trembling, and not having the charm of a local official.
Just a moment of a moment, all the soldiers showed disdainful sneering. Someone got into the car and dragged Cai Jiu down. After being dragged out of the car, Cai Jiu was even more trembling as if the leaves were in the wind, screaming: "Don't kill me... I am the imperial court official, my grandfather Cai Jing's son, you can't kill me..."
"Don't worry, we will naturally not kill you now. Even if we want to kill you, we have to wait until you take you into Tokyo and hand it over to the court for interrogation before making a decision!" Lin Chong stood in front of this guy who was shaking in a mess, and he felt a trance in his heart. Looking back at the beginning, all this was like a dream.
I vaguely remember that when I was in Tokyo as the instructor of the Imperial Guard, I had to be humble when I saw any civil servant, and I dared not be slouching and disrespectful. I could only kneel down to pay homage to others. A big man like Cai Jiu even wanted to meet him. But now, such a person can watch him beg for mercy from a condescending moment, and even his father Cai Jing had already become a fish on the chopping board...
"Premier Cai, you are really brave and filial enough. You really dare to lead troops to rebel and head straight to Tokyo. But you don't think about it, since we have control over everything, how can you give you a chance to take advantage of the situation?" The person who said this was Lu Da who was walking up to him. He and Cai Jiu had some friendship.
Cai Jiu, who was already confused and frightened, suddenly shook his body after hearing this sentence. He stiffened for a while before slowly looking up and looking at Lu Da: "You mean..."
"You thought you still had a try, but in fact you didn't know that your reaction was already as expected by General Sun. You were all trapped." Wu Song also spoke at this time and gave the other party a heavy blow. Sure enough, after hearing this, Cai Jiu really fell down, his eyes full of despair: "How...how could it be like this..."
As the chief officer, he collapsed, and the last bit of confidence of the soldiers around him completely disappeared. As a result, the ambush finally ended with a complete victory in the fight against the thieves.
From the time the enemy entered the trap to the end of the battle, in just a short time, his own casualties were negligible, but it completely wiped out the foreign aid that Cai Jing and the others had high hopes.
But even so, Lin Chong didn't see much relaxed joy on his face, but frowned and turned around, looking towards the Tokyo City ahead: "I don't know how many things those guys will make in the city, and whether the general can completely annihilate them at the lowest cost..."
At this time, the city of Tokyo had fallen into chaos again. Because of the disturbance on the law, the people there were extremely frightened and ran around like headless flies, which gave the guys hiding in the dark more opportunities to start. They either rushed straight to the important yamen with fire oil, or kept killing innocent people with sharp blades, trying to make the whole situation even more chaotic, so as to create a better opportunity for seizing the capital next. Especially at several key city gates, a group of people rushed forward like flying, trying to take advantage of the chaos to seize it.
Of course, the most important thing is the protection and retreat of important officials such as Cai Jing. At this time, not only were there hundreds of elite soldiers around them, but there were more than a dozen sharpshooters at the high point near the court to help. Whenever an army stepped forward to stop him, they would shoot the officers with cold arrows in time, thus opening up the passage for advancement.
Liang Miao is such a sharpshooter. He was originally a member of the imperial guards, but he was taken over by Liang Shicheng early, and now he has become the contact point at the height of a restaurant in the southeast corner. Just now, he had fired seven arrows in a row, shot down five rebel officers, and helped his master to the remote streets ahead. Now, just waiting for him to take him back, Liang Shicheng can retreat into the stronghold where everything has been prepared.
At this moment, Liang Miao saw another army appearing on the retreat of his master, and the number was very large, which seemed to be enough to bring threats. He immediately narrowed his eyes and looked for the leader of the army. As long as he shot this person to death, he could quickly disrupt the rhythm of the other party and gain opportunities for his own people to kill him.
Soon the target was determined by him, and the feather arrow was skillfully put on the bowstring. He was full of confidence in his archery skills. At a distance of hundreds of steps, a target that was unhappy was hit by every move. But just as he pulled the bowstring and was about to let go, a sudden sense of fear hit Liang Miao's heart, and then the sound of breaking through the air sounded from the side. He was so familiar with this sound, it was the sound of the arrow flying out, and when he heard this sound, it meant that the arrow was only a short distance away from him.
The whole heart suddenly contracted at this moment. Liang Miao didn't care about aiming at the target anymore. When his hand relaxed, the person had rolled to the side. But it was too late. While he let go, a feather arrow had already nailed to his neck with a puff, bringing up a large piece of blood.
The sharp arrow cut off Liang Miao's artery and throat, causing him to let out a half-roar, and the sound broke quickly, but blood shot out like a fountain. After only two or three breaths, he lost his voice. Just like the general who was shot by him before, he fell into his pool of blood.
In the distance, Hua Rong didn't even look at this target again, and he decisively aimed at the other spot of the opponent's archer who had been found. With his finger loosened, the sharp arrow flew out again, crossed more than 120 steps, accurately nailed into the man's eye socket, and harvested another enemy archer.
