Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 528 Kill
On the top of the hill, Li Zicheng was talking to chieftain Wan Hongwu when he heard Niu Jinxing flatteringly say: "Look, General, the coalition forces have already passed!"

After hearing this, Li Zicheng and Wan Hongwu stopped talking, looked down at the official road below, and wanted to appreciate the wonderful scene of the coalition forces covering up and killing the imperial court officials.

Driven like a dog by the court officers and soldiers, he was aggrieved all the way, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The court army below is only more than [-] people, and the reinforcements ambushing on both sides are at least [-]. If the court army is caught off guard, no matter what, it will end in a big victory!

"kill……"

The sound of shouting and killing can be said to reverberate in this mountain, shaking heaven and earth.

Whether it's a bandit or a chieftain soldier, under such a favorable situation, they are all grabbing merit, rushing to the official road to kill the imperial court officers and soldiers screaming.

Looking at the mountain forest, through the gaps in the leaves, so many figures can be vaguely seen, rushing down the mountain like a tiger, no matter whether it is Li Zicheng or Wan Hongwu, they all smiled.

However, it wasn't long before the excitement started, and soon, whether it was Li Zicheng or Wan Hongwu, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.

I saw that the imperial army on the official road, that is, at the beginning, they were caught off guard and killed or injured some people. After that, they didn't panic and began to form a resistance.

This situation was far beyond Li Zicheng's expectations.

The imperial army below is under the command of He Renlong, and he has already investigated it before.As for him and He Renlong, they have fought against each other many times.He even killed He Renlong's son on the battlefield a few years ago.

He didn't care what happened to He Renlong in the past.Anyway, in the last few times he fought with He Renlong, He Renlong was always on the verge of collapse.There were even cases where the governor was left behind and ran away before the fight started.

Just like this, in the imagination of Li Zicheng and others, after encountering such a sudden ambush, He Renlong's troops must have fled in despair. How could they form a formation to resist?
You know, in the case of being ambushed, forming an formation to resist, unless there are reinforcements, otherwise it is easy to be wiped out!
In this regard, Li Zicheng and others felt a little incredible!

Because it is very difficult for an army to become calm in battle, but it is very easy to flee in battle; especially for an army that is used to fleeing in battle, it is even more difficult to become calm in battle!
What happened to He Renlong's army that caused such a big contrast?
In short, Li Zicheng and others were a little confused.

Because in this case, the military orders of the Chinese army could not be conveyed at all.In other words, even if He Renlong wanted to resist, he couldn't pass on the order.

However, as far as what can be seen so far, there is no sign of soldiers fleeing from this imperial army at all, and all nearby people formed an formation to resist.

In other words, it was all the soldiers of this army who never thought of escaping from the very beginning, which is why this happened!

At this moment, Li Zicheng and others were stunned, they just stared at the battle situation below, and even forgot to speak.

I saw the bandits and chieftain soldiers rushing down from the forest on both sides, while the Qin soldiers formed a circle on the official road to face each other.

In each circle of different sizes, there are military officers, or captains of Jin Yiwei, shouting loudly there.

Far away, on such a messy battlefield, you can't hear it at all.However, the soldiers in the circle could hear clearly.

"Brothers, the military merits are just around the corner, and the time to make meritorious deeds has come!"

"Fear the enemy and fight, and practice military law; everyone stands up, don't lose the face of the old Qin people!"

"Brothers, even if you die in battle, you will enter the Daming Hall of Loyalty. The emperor will pay homage to us every year, just for fear of dying!"

"Whether it's loyalty or fugitive, glory or shame, it's up to you!"

"The military exploits that these bastards have brought to your door, don't let them go in vain, you can marry a wife!"

"..."

The court soldiers in the circle responded loudly, "Oh, ha" and the like, and at the same time, they also emboldened themselves and boosted their morale.

At this time, they were actually very clear in their hearts.If you don't retreat in a deadly battle, even if you die in the battle, that is Da Ming Zhonglie.

And they are all veterans, knowing that in such a situation, if they fled without fighting, it would be easier to die!
Therefore, even if they didn't know how many enemies rushed down from the forest, they didn't even think about running away.

The bows and arrows, throwing axes, etc. of the thieves and chieftain soldiers kept shooting at them.At close range, it was very powerful, and some imperial soldiers fell down in no time.

In this case, the soldiers inside the circle would pull the wounded or dead soldiers into the circle, while the soldiers outside would take the initiative to fill in the vacancies in the circle.

"Blah blah blah..."

Immediately, the sound of flintlock guns rang out, and the soldiers of the imperial court fought back against the thieves and chieftain soldiers who rushed over.

Those brave thieves and chieftain soldiers, those who rushed to the front, fell to the ground one by one as if they had hit a wall head-on.

However, due to the short charging distance of the thieves and chieftain soldiers, the court soldiers couldn't load the ammunition for the second shot at all, so they pulled out bayonets one after another, put a set on the barrel of the gun and twisted it, and it stuck at the muzzle of the gun. It turned into a spear, forming a dense array of spears.

In just a short while, the two armies were at hand-to-hand combat in front of the formation.

At this time, everything is false, the so-called meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins, everyone is desperately fighting for their lives.

"kill……"

The sound of killing, both sides, resounded through this valley.

On the top of the mountain, Li Zicheng's complexion almost turned black, very ugly.

Because looking down from the top, you can clearly see the situation on the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.

After fighting for so many years, he could tell right away that the armor on the soldiers of the imperial court must be very good.It can be seen that they can resist many attacks, and they are still fighting there; however, his subordinates, as well as those chieftain soldiers, often fall limp to the ground as long as they are shot by each other.

Not long after the battle started, many corpses were already lying around the outer circle of each circle.

Even the court officers and soldiers should feel that the opponent's attack power is not strong, and even began to expand the range of the circle.Or if there is a circular formation and there is enough energy to take care of the circular formations on both sides, they start to move closer and attack the enemies between the two circular formations.

Of course, the court officials and soldiers also fell, but it is obvious that the ratio of battle losses between the two sides is a bit ugly.

This is still the case when the imperial army was ambushed. If the two armies were fighting normally, and the imperial army took advantage of the firearms, it is estimated that the battle would be even uglier!

In the past, it was a wise move not to fight and to be chased away.

At this moment, some rogue generals had already rushed forward.Or at a later time, seeing the countermeasures of the imperial army, they brought in long weapons such as spears and broadswords, which were longer than the flintlock spears of the imperial army.

The war finally got a little anxious.The circular formation of the court officers and troops finally stopped expanding, and even had to shrink again because of the inferiority of weapons.

But despite this, the soldiers of the imperial court army obviously rely on their strong armor and can fight freely. Therefore, even if they suffer a loss in terms of weapons, there is no sign of anything bad on the whole.

On the top of the mountain, Song Xiance was also watching.After seeing the situation of the battle, he frowned for a while, then turned to Li Zicheng and said, "General, it's best to surround the court officers and troops, and then shoot them with bows and arrows, so that the war can end early!"

Li Zicheng listened, nodded, and immediately began to send orders.

However, when his subordinates and chieftain soldiers rushed down the mountain, they had already lost their organizational system, and it was more difficult to pass on military orders.However, it would be no problem to send another batch of fresh troops to follow this method.

His side is readjusting the deployment, and He Renlong's side will naturally adjust the deployment according to the situation on the battlefield.

The circle formation on his side is the largest, and they are all the most elite soldiers such as personal guards. After watching the situation on the battlefield for a while, he shouted loudly: "Gao Jie, fuck them, from over there..."

Before he finished speaking, a personal guard said loudly to him: "Marshal, General Gao has passed out! It's poison!"

When He Renlong heard this, he turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by the guards, and saw that among the wounded in the middle of the circle, quite a few soldiers were poisoned, including Gao Jie.

"Which chieftain soldiers have poison on their bows and arrows, and their weapons are also poisonous!"

Hearing the guard's report, He Renlong's face was flushed with anger, and he immediately shouted: "Damn it, charge me and kill his mother's chieftain soldier!"

After shouting, he held his Xuanhua axe, and under the guidance of his personal guards, he rushed out of the circle, and once again began to play his true qualities of "Madman He".

In fact, of course he is not the kind of real He lunatic who fights without tactics.Otherwise, after fighting for so many years, he wouldn't be alive now.

He Renlong noticed just now that among these enemies, the Tusi soldiers had the worst protection.Killing these chieftain soldiers is the easiest way to succeed.

The so-called picking soft persimmons, he could see right away that the key to this battle is definitely not to passively defend, but to fight back. If the chieftain soldiers can't hold back and collapse, it will affect the bandits to retreat. Only when we fight, can we have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

He saw that he was right at all, the chieftain soldiers had the worst equipment.Looking at the chieftain's financial resources and ability, some chieftain soldiers are standing soldiers, similar to servants in the imperial army.Most of the chieftain soldiers have no armor at all.When you are in battle, you have a knife and you are a soldier.

The same is true, the Tusi soldiers often paint their weapons with poison to increase their lethality.

"Kill..."

In the valley, the cry of killing resounded through the sky again, echoing for a long time.

He Renlong was like a fierce tiger. Under the protection of his personal guards, he picked up those chieftain soldiers and chopped them down, as if entering a land without people.
