Chapter 173 Decisive Battle in Lingchuan

Due to Zhang Sanbai's bravery and Wei Congyi's support, Wang Zhaosheng's pressure suddenly increased.The right wing of the officers and soldiers, which was originally the main offensive force, was suppressed by the rebel army.

The morale of the right-wing officers and soldiers plummeted, and they hardly dared to confront Zhang Sanbai.Wherever Zhang Sanbai went, the officers and soldiers retreated.Wang Zhaosheng had no choice but to ask the messenger to inform the former governor Song Tongyin of the military situation on his side, and suggested that if Zhang Daojun could not suppress the right wing of the rebel army, the governor should send out the central army for a full-scale decisive battle.

Although the former governor of Shanxi, Song Tongyin, did not know the art of war, he had been an official for many years and had a relatively accurate grasp of human nature.Since he heard what Wang Zhaosheng said, he immediately judged that even Wang Zhaosheng didn't have the confidence to resist the "rogue bandits" for too long.If not, Wang Zhaosheng should suggest that the officers and soldiers should continue to fight the rebels to wait for a chance of victory.

After Song Tongyin got the news, he quickly sent someone to inquire about Zhang Daojun's situation.As a result, the situation in Zhang Daojun's place was fairly stable. Due to the faster rate of fire of the Francophone and the higher accuracy of the Western cannon, Chuangying was beaten to death.

Although Chuangying is known as a good fighter, but the opponent has Western cannons at long range and Francophones at medium range.If you want to rush up to fight hand-to-hand, you have to face the weakening of two firepower before you can fight with officers and soldiers.

The last time Zhang Daojun had a cannon confrontation with Zhang Shun, after suffering a big loss, he brought more cannons this time, for fear of encountering Zhang Shun again. As a result, all the shells from these cannons were "fed" to Chuangying.

However, it is okay to defend; if you are going to take the initiative to attack, Zhang Daojun's tactics of relying on artillery to suppress the enemy may also be powerless.

Song Tongyin had no choice but to ask Wang Zhaosheng again for fear of messing things up again.He got Wang Zhaosheng's affirmative answer, and he sent all the Feimeng Artillery Team under his command to support the Chinese Army.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Song Tongyin also knows that he is facing a final decision.After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers to wave the banner, commanding all the Chinese troops to attack.And he took off his official robe, picked up the drumsticks himself, and beat the drums to help.

The dull drum sounded and spread throughout the battlefield.Like a sledgehammer, the "dong dong dong" hit the hearts of the soldiers of the enemy and us.

"Retreat when you hear the gold, and advance when you hear the drum", has been the Chinese way of using troops since ancient times.Both the officers and soldiers and the rebels knew that the time for the final battle had arrived.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the sky was about to get dark. The officers and soldiers were in the north, and the rebel army was in the south. Neither side had the right time and place to borrow. There was only a fight to the death.

Hearing the sound of the drums from the officers and soldiers, Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing and said, "They have war drums, don't we have them? And bring the grievance drums over!"

This grievance drum, which was seized from Mengjin County, traveled with Zhang Shun all over the country, and it is still intact. It is currently installed on a bullock cart that Zhang Shun has refitted.

Zhang Shun climbed up, picked up the drumsticks himself, and started beating the drum. As the low drumbeat sounded, Zhang Shun shouted loudly: "What drum is this?"

The soldiers under Zhang Shun's command were stunned when they heard the sound, and they responded loudly: "Scream the drum of injustice!"

"What am I guilty of?"

"Not willing to die!"

As Zhang Shun asked, the soldiers under his command answered, and between the questions and the answers, morale gradually rose.Most of them are people affected by the disaster in Mengjin, and they couldn't help thinking of the horror of the disaster, the embarrassment of their families, and the indifference of the government.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but get angry: Why do we have to suffer so much?Why can't we live a good life?Why are we always oppressed by the government?

Thus, anger is transformed into courage, and courage is transformed into fighting power. "The courage of the husband and the battle is also courageous, and he will go all out." This is what he said.

Zhang Shun's morale was high, and Wang Zhaosheng's troops were miserable.After the middle armies of the two armies fought, the situation on both sides was reversed, and the "Zijinliang" department was severely suppressed by the Yin department of Song Tong.

It turned out that although the "Zijin Liang" was powerful, it relied more on the thousands of cavalry under its command, while the combat effectiveness of the infantry was average.This time the two sides met on a narrow road, the infantry lined up, and the cavalry was unable to play a role for a while, so it was more difficult to fight.

What's more, as soon as the Feimeng artillery team behind Song Tongyin's front line came out, they bombarded the "Zijin Liang" formation from behind the front line, only hitting the "Zijin Liang" without any power to fight back.The strength is not as good as others, but now it is like two opponents teaming up to fight one person, how can this be beaten?But the elite cavalry of "Zijinliang" couldn't join the battle in time, so they could only be in a hurry.

However, "Zijinliang" is also a tyrant at any rate. Although he is usually a bit useless, if he doesn't have three points, how can he suppress the rogues of the [-]th Battalion and sit firmly as the leader of the rebel army?
He quickly mobilized some sword and shield hands, lifted the shields, and connected them together densely, forming a slope that sloped backwards.Because the Feimeng cannon had a relatively short range and was not very powerful, the shell was about the same size as a later-generation can. Even if it exploded directly on the shield, it would not be able to blow up the shield.

What's more, this Feimeng cannon was originally a shell that was ignited by powder twist, and the rate of misfire was high, and the explosion time depended entirely on experience.In order to prevent the shells from exploding in front of them, many officers and soldiers try to keep the length of the powder twist as long as possible.

This happened when many Feimeng artillery shells fell on the shield, and the powder hadn't finished burning, so they could only roll down the slope formed by the shield and explode behind the formation, basically unable to attack the "Zijinliang" formation. create a threat.

On the contrary, due to the instability of the Feimeng cannon, many shells exploded in their own formation after a long time.In order to save money and facilitate movement, most of the gunners of the Feimeng Cannon were unarmored. On the contrary, they injured a lot of officers and soldiers on their side, and their morale plummeted for a while.

Song Tongyin saw that the Feimeng Pao had not achieved the success he thought, so he had no choice but to order the Feimeng Pao to be withdrawn.

Therefore, after some contests between the Chinese army, the two sides returned to the stage of mutual stalemate.But at this time, due to the strong combat effectiveness of Zhang Shun's subordinates, they pushed their own front a lot forward; while the "Zijinliang" department retreated a lot because of the suppression of the officers and soldiers Feimeng artillery.As soon as the two rebels advanced and retreated, they formed an arc on the front line.

Since Zhang Shun has only a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, which is less than that of Wang Zhaosheng on the opposite side, the battle line is relatively short.So in fact, when the two sides faced each other, some of Wang Zhaosheng's troops faced the "Zijinliang" department.

At first, Wang Zhaosheng didn't notice this problem. It wasn't until the rebel army advanced and retreated, and the battle line was pulled apart, that Wang Zhaosheng discovered the formation problem on the opposite side.

The advancement of Zhang Shun's department and the retreat of the "Zijinliang" department just caused a disconnect between the two departments.Seeing this, Wang Zhaosheng couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly ordered the officers and soldiers at the junction of the two rebel armies to roll in the direction of Zhang Shun, directly cutting off the connection between the two rebel armies and tearing apart the rebel army's front.
