Chapter 208 Escape

As a result, Zhang Shun hit straight, which is the normal way for a large army to retreat from the enemy.His method of retreating without chaos and retreating without dispersing, instantly suppressed the enemy troops who came to attack.

In fact, there were not many troops coming. From a distance, there were only one or two thousand soldiers on foot.It's just that the enemy's situation is unknown, if they fight rashly, if the enemy's reinforcements come out, the rebels will not be able to leave even if they want to.

Sure enough, when the rebel army retreated to the vicinity of the Qinshui River, an army also came out from the other side of the river.Everyone looked at his banner from afar, and it was none other than Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, who made everyone tremble.

Fortunately, this guy is facing each other across the river, so he can't attack the rebels for the time being.Now that there are wolves in front and tigers in back, "Zijinliang" hurriedly prepared to order the rebels to flee southward, preparing to flee into Zhongtiao Mountain and Wangwu Mountain to avoid the enemy.

As a result, I never thought that another army of officers and soldiers came along the river from the south.Well, don't think about it, it is estimated that these two officers and soldiers are as fierce as tigers and as powerful as tigers.

Now "Zijinliang" had no choice but to lead the team up the river, whether it was "surrounded by three and lacked one", or the officers and soldiers were insufficient, the first thing to do was to go first.

It doesn't matter that the rebels escaped, but Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, was left there.It turned out that Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, was not an incompetent person. He was overjoyed when he got the news that "rogue bandits" had captured Yuanqu County.

It turns out that the terrain of the Yuanqu, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on the other, is not only convenient for defense, but also convenient for officers and soldiers to take the opportunity to besiege.The roads for the rebels to enter Zezhou again were only two roads: entering Yangcheng in the north and entering Qinshui from the west.

Zhang Zongheng took the opportunity to personally lead troops to station in Yangcheng, and ordered fierce tigers to station in Zezhou City, and Tiger Dawei to station near Tianjing Pass to prevent the rebels from fleeing into Henan.In addition, there is another person, Zhang Wenheng, an officer and soldier of Datong Yanghe.

According to the original historical line, the rebel army first encountered the righteous Wu Xian in Duanshi Town, and wiped out his entire army, shaking the court.The imperial court sent Yang Hewei and Zhang Wenheng to encircle and suppress, and defeated the rebels many times.

As a result, in this life, because of Zhang Shun's interference, when Zhang Shun besieged Dayang Town in the previous life, Wu Xian came to support him and avoided the "Zijin Liang" and other rebels.

This also caused Yang and Wei Zhang Wenheng to come together with Zhang Zongheng to suppress them until now.Zhang Wenheng's status was higher than that of Mengruhu and Hudawei. Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng simply ordered him to station in Qinshui to prevent the rebels from entering Zezhou by detour from the west.

Because the rebel army pulled out the camp overnight, which was beyond Zhang Zongheng's expectation, which almost caused the rebel army to escape the snare of officers and soldiers.When Zhang Zongheng got the news, he urgently ordered the three men to join forces and besiege the rebels.

"Zijinliang", Zhang Shun waited until the former fan had just escaped from the encirclement of Zhang Zongheng, Mengruhu, and Hu Dawei, and rushed along Qinshui to Duanshi Town.

The rebel army had just arrived in front of Duanshi Town, and hadn't had time to enter the city to rest.I saw the gate of Duan's Town opened wide, and an army came out from the oblique stab.It was none other than Zhang Wenheng, an officer and soldier of the Yanghe Guard who came from Qinshui.

Seeing this, "Zijinliang" couldn't help being furious, Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng, who is as fierce as a tiger, and as powerful as a tiger, I can't afford to offend, why does Zhang Wenheng, who is a cat or a dog, dare to come up and stroke the tiger's whiskers?

"Zijin Liang" consciously got rid of Zhang Zongheng and others. These people couldn't support the officers and soldiers here for a while, so they formed a formation and fought with He Yang and Wei Zhang Wenheng.

There is nothing unusual about this Yanghewei, the formation is ordinary, only the firearms are strong, and the soldiers dare to fight. As a result, the [-] to [-] troops of "Zijin Liang" and others couldn't beat the opponent.

Zhang Shun served as the right wing of the rebel army, and he was originally responsible for attacking, but after several hard attacks, the opponent remained motionless.

At the beginning, Zhang Shun relied on the large number of cavalry, so he ordered Liu Cheng and Chen Changling to encircle and drive away the opposing cavalry many times. As a result, Yanghe's guard cavalry was different from the cavalry of the officers and soldiers he had seen before.

Both the Yanghe guard cavalry and their horses wore armor, but they were not in the style of horses and horses in the Song and Jin Dynasties.Instead, people wear cotton armor and chain armor, or wear bright iron armor, while horses wear armor such as horse face, chicken neck, horse body armor, and breastplate, which are only used to defend the front half of the horse. Full set".

Although such a "small full outfit" is not as comprehensive as the "big full outfit", it has a general advantage, that is, it can have better mobility without affecting the impact of the cavalry.

Although Yanghe's guard cavalry is lower than "Zijinliang", Zhang Shun and others, but the cavalry is more elite and has better protective gear.When the two sides fought, the rebel cavalry was often killed by the opponent.

Chen Changbing led the team to charge a few times, and found that the Yanyue Dao in his hand was not very efficient to use, and it became more difficult to cut down the well-protected enemies.He had to change into a long gun and fight the enemy.

Seeing that Chen Changliang was entangled with Liu Cheng and hundreds of enemy cavalry, Zhang Shun couldn't help being furious, and quickly ordered: "Chen Changliang temporarily entangles the enemy cavalry, and Liu Cheng leads the troops to charge!"

The two men had to give orders, only to realize that they were in the lead, so they quickly divided their troops to fight.Due to the influence of their vests, Yang He and the guard cavalry were really powerless in trying to bypass Chen Changliang's entanglement.

In this way, the left wing of Zhang Wenheng's formation was exposed, and Liu Cheng quickly led the team to charge his left wing infantry.As a result, before the rebel cavalry rushed to the infantry, there was a burst of artillery fire in front of the enemy's formation, and the rebel cavalry was overturned immediately.

It turned out that Yanghewei had been fighting against Mongolia and Houjin all year round, had enough firearms, and was very experienced in dealing with cavalry, so he was not afraid of the rebels charging at all.There are hundreds of large and small artillery pieces in the [-]-person formation, which are designed to shoot shotgun shells to contain the enemy's charge.

Liu Chengbu suffered a loss and no longer charged recklessly, so he had to send a small group of cavalry to harass the officers and soldiers on the left flank and interfere with Zhang Wenheng's formation.As a result, Yang Hewei's pawns were not moved at all. Several pawns were shot and killed by Liu Cheng's cavalry on the spot, and immediately the pawns behind were added.Liu Cheng harassed him for a long time, but with little success.

Zhang Shun saw that the flanks could not open the enemy's formation, so he had to call out the "Golden Cannon" to do it recklessly.He had already seen from a distance that both the Yang and Wei artillery were small artillery, and they were not as good as his "golden artillery" in terms of range or power.

Zhang Shun simply ordered Li Shi'an to load the "golden cannon" with live ammunition and bombard Zhang Wenheng's department.A five-inch cannon like Zhang Shun's was really rare in the late Ming Dynasty, and he killed a bunch of Yanghe guards in a dense formation with just one cannon.All of them were bloody, with broken limbs and bone fragments flying everywhere.

As a result, although the officers and soldiers of Yanghe and the guards were a little disturbed, some people stepped on the flesh and blood of their robes to replenish them.Then the second artillery shot passed, and there was a bounce. The formation of officers and soldiers was almost pierced by the artillery shells. It is unknown how many officers and soldiers died along the way.

This time even Yang and Wei couldn't stand it anymore, taking advantage of the gap when Zhang Shun's artillery was released, Zuo Yi Yang and Wei immediately charged Zhang Shun's pawns.
