Chapter 145 The Death of a Famous General

At this time, the officers and soldiers walking in the front felt a rope suddenly tripping under their feet. Before he knew what he was tripping, he suddenly heard a huge roar in front of the team. In an instant, a flash flash flashed from the ground, and a large amount of earth and stone were lifted out of the ground. The bodies of the first few officers and soldiers were also lifted into the air and turned into pieces when they fell.

Even if the officers and soldiers were not blown up, they were not much better. A group of officers and soldiers who were closer to the point of the explosion were immediately overturned by the air waves and fell to the ground. Even some officers and soldiers were shocked by the violent explosion on the spot and bleeding, and were shocked to death on the ground on the spot. The officers and soldiers were fierce. However, under this blow, he immediately blew up the camp and began to run around.

It turned out that Liu Bao used the secret weapon "landmine" made by Gao Chengxin here this time. In fact, the landmine is not Xiao Tianjian's "creation", but someone invented this kind of thing early in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, the mine was detonated by an open fire and put a tile on the gunpowder barrel buried in the ground. The basin is filled with charcoal fire. When the enemy goes to the place where the mine is buried, pulls the rope to pull over the tile basin with charcoal fire in the mine, and let the fire fall on the gunpowder to detonate the mine. However, that kind of mine is really too dangerous. If you are not careful, it will blow up the person who planted the mine to the sky. Therefore, it is said that it was in the era of Qi Jiguang. Someone invented a kind of steel wheel fire mine, relying on the steel wheel to fire Mars and detonate landmines. For this reason, the emperor also personally watched the demonstration of the effect of this kind of landmine. During the Wanli period, he even set up a special team to be responsible for this.

However, later, the mines were not widely promoted, but Xiao Tianjian did not forget this kind of yin-killing weapon. After Xing Tianjun developed the self-fire gun, he ordered Gao Cheng to use the self-made fire gun to develop mines. Now a batch of mines have been applied to the army.

This time, Liu Bao came to ambush Cao Wenyao, and buried several such guys on the road booked by Cao Wenyao, and the amount of charge was very large. It just triggered one and killed a large number of officers and soldiers at once.

Liu Bao rubbed his ears and cursed loudly, "Grandma! How much gunpowder did Zhao Si bury? I almost deaf to my ears! Grandma, I'll settle the account for you when I get back! Call me! Don't let them go! Whoever killed Cao Wenyao, I personally asked him for credit!"

With his roar, suddenly there was a bean-like sound of fire everywhere on the dark hillside. In the dark, there were flashing flames everywhere on the hillside, and a stream of smoke rose everywhere on the hillside.

Hundreds of self-fired slit their heads and covered their faces. During this period, some members of the Xing Tianjun shook the fire folds, ignited one by one Thunderbolt bombs, and vigorously smashed down.

This time, the officers and soldiers brought by Cao Wenyao were very unlucky. The road was already very narrow. They were pulled into a line. After the chaos, they were squeezed together. No one could quickly escape from this dead place. Xing Tianjun's firearm hands were almost like a target, knocking them to the ground one by one, with every bullet. The explosion can overturn several officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers are crying and shouting for their father and mother, and they run around at the foot of the mountain.

The sound of fire rang until almost dawn, and then it stopped under Liu Bao's order. A large number of Xingtian army members wrapped white cloth around their necks and rushed down the dirt slope and began to clean the battlefield.

The whole concave ground is full of officers and soldiers' bodies, and there is a strong smell of blood in the air. The blood on many officers and soldiers who have just been killed is still steaming. When they die, they don't understand why the birds in the hands of the thief army can fire in the dark without lighting the rope. If the thief's army lights the fire rope, he Why couldn't we find out in advance that the thief army ambushed here and let them go to death all the time before the thief army brazenly got angry.

But at this time, even if they couldn't figure it out, it was too late. More than a thousand officers and soldiers were almost half killed here. At the same time, many were injured. The rest of the living did not run away, and they became Liu Bao's prisoners. After dawn, someone came to find Liu Bao and excitedly reported that Liu Bao had a good time. Xi said that Cao Wenyao had found it.

When Liu Bao followed his men to a corpse, followed by the morning light. He looked down and saw an officer and army general in heavy armor lying on a small pile of earth. His whole body was full of blood that was about to solidify. A war horse fell not far away from him, and the horse's corpse was also full of bullet holes. Obviously, Cao Wen last night. After Yao found the ambush of the Xing Tianjun, he wanted to pluck the horse to escape, but because few people in the whole team rode on horseback, most of the members of the Xingtian Army aimed at their mounted officers as soon as they opened fire. As a result, Cao Wenyao was hit by several bullets and killed here by a group of people and horses.

Turning over Cao Wenyao's body, Cao Wenyao still opened his mouth and seemed to be shouting something, and his eyes were wide open. He seemed to have a trace of shock and unwillingness. There was a huge blood hole in his neck by bullets. It was this shot that killed Cao Wenyao. He grabbed several prisoners to identify them, and confirmed that this person was exactly Cao Wenyao and Liu Bao then ordered to cut off Cao Wenyao's head, put it in a box, sprinkled lime and leave here, and the bodies were buried in this place.

After dawn, Liu Bao left two teams of soldiers to watch the prisoners of war, cleaned the battlefield, and immediately rushed back to the mountain pass. At this time, Li Yantian had already been waiting for him to jump up and down the mountain pass. In the middle of the night, the sound of explosion in the north, the sound of fire and killing came from a long way, and even the area of the mountain pass could faintly hear the huge ground. With the explosion of thunder, Li Yantian concluded that Liu Bao must have won the battle this time, so before dawn, he commanded the soldiers to come out to prepare for the battle, and waited for Liu Bao to come back and order to set off.

Although they waited all night, the soldiers of the fourth battalion did not blink all night, and fought fiercely for more than an hour and ran such a long way. However, when Liu Bao led his troops back to the mountain pass, the generals all seemed to be very energetic and not tired at all. When Liu Bao arrived here, he immediately ordered to set out. The soldiers of the two battalions He rushed out of the mountain pass and rushed straight to the army camp outside the mountain pass.

At this time, the officers and soldiers left behind in the battalion should have lined up to fight according to the original plan, cooperating with Cao Wenyao behind the Xingtian Army to attack the Xingtian Army. However, the sky was bright, and several soldiers who followed Cao Wenyao fled back to the camp and told the left-behind generals the news of their ambush. It quickly spread among the officers and soldiers. When the sky was bright, the officers and soldiers did not wait for Cao Wenyao to escape back to the camp. It was just that there were less than a hundred people who escaped sporadically. Basically, no officers escaped. The left-behind officers and soldiers could guess that Cao Wenyao was already more evil, and there was no way out of the camp according to the original plan. The idea!

As a result, it was almost noon again, and I still didn't see Cao Wenyao come back, but he waited for Xing Tianjun. The two battalions of Xing Tianjun rushed outside the officer camp, and immediately erected a high pole and hung a head on the high pole. The officers and soldiers with good eyes immediately Then I saw this head clearly at the gate of the camp. Who is the head of Lord Cao?

So the remaining more than 3,000 officers and soldiers immediately became confused. The commander-in-chief is dead. Who is still in the heart to work hard here! Although the left-behind vice general also wanted to stick to it, He Nai's army's heart had dispersed, and he was powerless. Seeing that Xing Tianjun was about to set up a cannon outside, the deputy general gritted his teeth and ordered to retreat to Shaanxi, and a large number of officers and soldiers immediately broke out of the camp and fled in the direction of Shaanxi.

Originally, Liu Bao and Li Yantian planned to fight a hard battle against the army battalion, but before they began to prepare to attack the battalion, they saw a large number of officers and soldiers collapsing out of the other side of the battalion. They fled in the direction of Shaanxi with their legs like rabbits. The officials were riding horses. He ran in the front, crowded and touched people, cursed, and killed people. In the end, the agreed retreat quickly turned into a retreat. The deputy general of Shaanxi couldn't control the situation, so he simply ran forward happily, leaving a large number of officers and soldiers behind crying for their father and mother. What kind of weapons, soldiers's gone. There is still grain when it is heavy. Now it has become a floating cloud. All the officers and soldiers are all the same, just want to escape quickly.

Liu Bao and Li Yantian looked at this scene and opened their mouths wide. Finally, the two of them nod and waited for a fart! Kill it! So the battle array also became a floating cloud at this time. Except for the artillerymen who could not lose their cannons to catch up with them, the rest of the people chased after their respective officers.

Good boy, this battle is chaotic enough. The soldiers of Li Yantian and the reserve battalion of his battalion ran to the front of Liu Bao because they did not consume as much physical strength as Liu Bao's Battalion. They were like chicken blood one by one, screaming excitedly, chasing after the escaped officers and soldiers. He was stunned and almost chased to the city of Shaanxi. If it hadn't been for the Shaanxi garrison to send a sentry to pick up the defeated soldiers, this guy really dared to lead his troops to chase them to the city of Shaanxi in one breath. However, even so, the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi were also scared and began to fire from afar, and they didn't care about the people who couldn't fight the Xing Tianjun.

Fortunately, Liu Bao still maintained a trace of restraint. He sent people to catch up with Li Yantian and ordered him to withdraw his troops to Mianchi. Only then did Li Yantian collect the generals, and the captured prisoners were evacuated from Shanzhou.

After going back, Liu Bao and Li Yantian took stock of the capture. They packed up a large pile of grain and had to temporarily recruit a lot of people from Mianchi County, and then pulled the captured things back to Mianchi County.
