please make me king

Chapter 293

Not long after Deng Qi's army marched westward, they saw Yang Yuchun's broken soldiers running all the way from a distance, and they were indeed defeated by the rebels.

Deng Qi still had a glimmer of hope for victory, but now it has all been shattered.He couldn't help but sent someone to meet him, while yelling: "My son, Yang Yuchun, lost his teacher and defeated the army, so incompetent, I will definitely punish him!"

It's all about talking, and it's all about scolding, Yang Yuchun is Deng Qi's subordinate after all, and Deng Qi still has to "wipe his ass".

The defeated army was getting closer and closer, Deng Qi originally wanted to lead people to meet him, to appease the army's morale.It's just that he felt palpitations for a while, and felt that something was wrong with the defeated officers and soldiers coming from the opposite side.

Deng Qi was worthy of being a veteran general. After he pondered for a while, he was startled, and shouted loudly: "Quickly order the front army to be careful, lest they be deceitful. The rest of the army quickly line up and prepare to fight!"

The messenger was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously asked: "General, you are all your own, so what can you do?"

When Deng Qi was anxious, when he had no time to talk nonsense with him, he directly drew out his knife, stabbed the orderly who refused to obey the order to death, and continued to order: "Quickly pass on my military order!"

Seeing this, the other messengers were all at war with each other, how could they dare to question it?Fuck the shit in a hurry, and Fei Ye sent the order.

But where can it be?
Seeing that Deng Qi had been fooled, Zhang Shun didn't know that Yang Yuchun had died in battle.When he saw Yang Yuchun's banner, he mistakenly thought they were the defeated army of officers and soldiers, and he was not prepared.

After the rebel army followed the defeated officers and soldiers and approached Deng Qi's army, Zhang Shun immediately ordered all the cavalry under his command to mount their horses and drive the defeated soldiers to charge forward.

Deng Qi's subordinates were originally Sichuan soldiers, who became famous for fighting An Bangyan's rebels.In the land of Yunnan and Guizhou in Sichuan, there are high mountains and ravines, and there are many trees.Therefore, his subordinates used infantry as the main method of warfare, and never encountered large-scale cavalry raids.

After the Deng-Lai Rebellion, most of the rebels were armed with firearms, and there was no threat of cavalry.The only time he had the chance to fight the golden soldiers threatened by the cavalry, but because he was escorted by other frontier cavalry, he had never experienced the baptism of the cavalry.

Two thousand cavalry may not sound like a lot, but according to the Ming Dynasty border army's formation habits of three cavalry and seven infantry, this is almost equivalent to the entire cavalry of two full battalions.

Deng Qi was caught off guard, and in a haste, he just set up a simple defensive formation. Before he could make any other moves, Chen Changzhu, Liu Cheng, "Zuo Jin Wang" and "Ge Liyan" directly scattered a third of the crowd. formation.

The black cavalry rushed forward like covering the sky and covering the sun, tearing the enemies in front of them to pieces.

Sichuan soldiers are not tall, but they are quite resistant to hard work.They held simple spears and tried to fight against the galloping cavalry.

However, the formation is uneven and the military capacity is uneven.The cavalry can easily avoid the eight-foot-long spears on horseback, and then use horses, spears, broadswords or bones to harvest their lives in an instant.

It is difficult for officers and soldiers to fight with "long soldiers are not successful, and short soldiers are not connected".The formation, which was originally loose, was smashed into pieces by the cavalry, making it difficult to maintain, and then there was a one-sided massacre.

Deng Qi watched from a distance in the formation of more than two thousand people, his canthus was completely cracked, but he had no choice but to watch the infantry under his command helplessly, carrying spears as tall as three people, without the power to resist .

Zhang Shun looked at it from a distance, and couldn't bear it.Although he has experienced many battles, most of them were infantry against infantry. Although there were casualties, there was no such one-sided massacre.

However, on the battlefield, it is bloody life and death.If he is half-hearted and soft-hearted, the soul of the dead under the knife will be himself and others.Zhang Shun had no choice but to be ruthless and couldn't bear to look directly at him.

Now that the rebel army had killed and dispersed the rest of the officers and soldiers, only the more than [-] infantry headed by Deng Qi formed a circular formation and defended with Deng Qi as the center.

Zhang Shun saw that Deng Qi's formation was strict and there was no gap to take advantage of, so he called Chen Changbing, Liu Cheng, "King Zuo Jin" and "Ge Liyan" to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone is a battle-hardened person, and they all said: "The enemy's formation is strict, so don't attack hard." Zhang Shun obeyed his kindness, and simply ordered the four of them to form four formations, surrounded the officers and soldiers, and continued to send cavalry to harass .

There are many types of cavalry harassment. In terms of attacking the enemy's formation, there are two types of harassment: probing charge and long-range attack.

There are two types of probing charges:
One is to speed up the horse from time to time and launch a false charge to the enemy's formation to intimidate the enemy.If there is a commotion in the enemy's formation, they will turn virtual into reality and rush into the formation in order to break through the gap in the formation.

The other is undoubtedly a real charge, but it is not a rigid charge into the enemy's formation.Instead, after approaching the enemy, turn the horse's head, pass by the edge of the enemy's formation, and use spears, sabers, etc. to attack the enemy tentatively.

This is also where the defender's hooks, halberds and other weapons come into play.Defenders often used these hooked weapons to hook passing cavalry and kill them by hooking them off their horses.

The long-range attack avoids the disadvantage of being too close to the enemy during the trial charge and being easily hooked by the opponent.They turned the cavalry's horse's head vertically, galloped past the opponent's formation at a distance of [-] steps, and then attacked with long-range weapons such as bows and arrows and three-eyed guns.

The defender's way to deal with them is to use bows and firecrackers to fight back.On the cavalry side, due to the inconvenient operation, the distance and power of the general attack are weaker than that of the infantry.

It's just because the cavalry shoots in motion, which belongs to moving and shooting fixed targets; while the infantry side belongs to standing and shooting moving targets.The hit rate of infantry is naturally not as high as that of cavalry, so they are in a passive state.

Although Deng Qi didn't have much experience in dealing with cavalry, fortunately, as a qualified veteran, he still barely dealt with the harassment and attacks of Zhang Shun's cavalry.Except that he paid higher tuition fees and lost a lot of soldiers.

Zhang Shun and Deng Qi fought for about an hour, but failed to achieve a result, so they focused on besieging and did not increase the harassment.

At this time, Deng Qi's sensitivity as a veteran general who had been in the battle for a long time was shown. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and guessed that Zhang Shunding was waiting for other reinforcements to arrive.

In order to avoid the end of annihilation of the whole army, Deng Qi had to take the risk of ordering his infantry to retreat to Huaiqing Mansion.

Huaiqing Mansion is not far from here, although there is not enough troops to come to the rescue, if Deng Qi can take the opportunity to push into Huaiqing Mansion, Zhang Shun's operation after Yang Yuchun's death will be in vain.

But now the soldiers of both sides are similar. Although Zhang Shun's troops are all cavalry and occupy the upper hand, they can't be here without brain damage.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun was well prepared, and hurriedly led his personal guards to Deng Qi's formation, but he unleashed the banner of the "Zijinliang" of the second leader.

Deng Qi couldn't help being shocked when he saw this, and asked loudly, "Who are you?"

"I am the leader of the [-]th Battalion of the Rebel Army. You have fought many battles before, so you don't recognize me?" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

Deng Qi and the others had never seen the real face of "Zijin Liang", they only thought that they had been tricked by "Zijin Liang" to feign death, they couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and the morale of the army was shaken.

It turned out that Deng Qi only said that since "Zijin Liang" is not dead, now he is planning all kinds of tricks, and it must be to gather all the volunteers and annihilate his officers and soldiers in one fell swoop.

In order to avoid nights and dreams, Deng Qi had no choice but to urge his officers and soldiers to retreat quickly.Zhang Shun took the opportunity to order his cavalry to attack, and Deng Qi was defeated immediately.
