Chapter 546 Decisive Battle ([-])

Standing on the high platform, Zhang Shun could see from a distance that Jiang He was about to rush to the front of the officers and soldiers.He quickly ordered to move the banner of the Chinese army, so that the whole army of the rebels could approach the officers and soldiers.

Chen Qiyu couldn't help being startled when he saw that the flag of the central army of the rebel army moved, and the whole army began to press forward.Immediately, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The thief is at the end of his skills!"

Lieutenant General Liu Guozhen, Generals He Renlong and Liu Qian were all in the Chinese army. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking strangely, "Master, why did you say that?"

"The method of using soldiers is light first and then heavy, first planning and then fighting. For example, Dun Lun, do the foreplay first, and then the two sides can practice with real swords and guns. How can the overlord fight hard when he takes off his clothes?" reason?"

All the generals couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, only Liu Guozhen frowned slightly, thinking: Governor Chen's words like this, on the contrary, seem like we are the woman who wants to be humiliated, it is extremely indecent!

It's just that now is the time for handing over the swords, and Liu Guozhen is too busy to deal with Jiang He, the enemy in front of him. How could he say such words without understanding, and touch the bad luck of Chen Qiyu?

In fact, Chen Qiyu saw that the rebel army was acting abnormally, so he was not without some doubts in his heart.It's just that everything is under his control now, so it's inconvenient to say that he came from a mess.

It is said that Jiang He led his swordsmen and shields to the front of the officers and soldiers, only to see that there were many chariots in front of him, covering the officers and soldiers' formation like a city like a wall.Behind the shield chariot, there are densely packed officers and soldiers, and there are many flags, like a copper wall and an iron wall.

The face-to-face enemy is not the kind of "shangyong who sees the enemy and flees".But seeing Jiang He approaching the formation twenty steps away, Liu Guozhen waved the banner, and immediately dozens of killer teams filed out from the gap in the shield car, and the killers came out.

Because the main opponents of the towns of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Yansui are the "three bandits" in Shaanxi.The "three major bandits" are: "Sea Bandits", "Song Bandits" and "Tao Bandits".

Among them, the pirates are not the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, but the Mongolians nomadic around Qinghai Lake; Mongolian nomads in the big and small Songshan Mountains, one hundred and twenty miles east of Langwei.

These three opponents are all good at cavalry, so Chen Qiyu's soldiers also use long spears as their main weapon to restrain the enemy's cavalry;

Therefore, the "killer team" that filed out, the first row held a large shield to cover the column, and the rest followed up with long guns.

When Jiang He saw the enemy coming out, he also admired the officers and soldiers for their courage to fight.He gave an order, and all the heavy sabers and shields under his command took out short spears from their waists.

With the help of their running power, the crowd threw out the short spears in their hands, and suddenly hundreds of short spears roared up densely, nailing the officers and soldiers with their heads covering their faces.

The first row of officers and soldiers hastily raised their large shields to resist, but manpower is limited, the shield is too big, and the thickness is inevitably insufficient.

The power of the short spears thrown by the rebels is far beyond that of the arrows shot by the "three bandits" on horseback.Immediately, as the short spears snatched into the shields of the officers and soldiers, there was another burst of crackling firewood and screams.

It turned out that many wooden shields were shot by several short spears, and several pieces were directly cracked, and the officers and soldiers were nailed to the ground on the spot by the remaining short spears that roared over.

Immediately, the two sides fought hand to hand, but because the swords and shields in the hands of the rebels were far shorter than the spears of the officers and soldiers, they suffered a lot, and more than ten people were stabbed to the ground on the spot.

However, fortunately, there are not many rebels, and they are all skilled in martial arts.Some people waited for the opportunity to enter with guns, and the officers and soldiers were unable to deploy their spears, and they were immediately killed by the rebels.

The rest of the people who failed to get their spears grabbed their short spears again, and waited for an opportunity to throw them into the formation of officers and soldiers.

The main attention of the officers and soldiers is attracted by the sword and shield hand entering the gun. Where is there any defense?Immediately, more than a dozen people were thrown over by the short spears of the rebel army.

When the fierce battle was not long, the officers and soldiers couldn't resist, so they had to retreat.When Jiang He saw that the enemy was about to flee, how could he be willing?

He hastily shouted, and led his sword and shield to chase after him.After chasing up to the shield chariot of the officers and soldiers, the defending officers and soldiers used the strength of the shield chariot to thrust out their spears, as dense as a hedgehog.

Jiang He personally led the team, and was unable to break into the ranks of officers and soldiers after several attempts.On the contrary, the officers and soldiers took the opportunity to load firearms such as Francophones and three-eyed guns, and beat them indiscriminately, overturning more than ten rebels.

Jiang Heyou rushed desperately two or three times, but still couldn't make any progress.He knew that there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to lead his troops back.

When the rebel army retreated, the officers and soldiers fired a burst of firecrackers and cannons, and the rebel army lost more than [-] people before returning to the formation.

Jiang He was so ashamed that he hurried to the Chinese army to plead guilty to Zhang Shun.But Zhang Shun hastily took a few steps, helped Jiang He up, and said with a smile, "What is the general's fault? If it weren't for the general's fighting, how could our army deploy these hundred cannons?"

Jiang He followed Zhang Shun's gestures and saw nearly a hundred cannons lined up densely on the right side of the army. The cannon barrels were like a forest, pointing obliquely at the sky.

Jiang He imagined the scene where so many artillery were aimed at him, and he shuddered, the consequences were unimaginable.

It turns out that the Danghe River near Luoyang City originated near Hengshui Town, Mengjin County, in the Mang Mountains. Although it can be said to run north-south, in fact, the Danghe River is westward to the west and eastward to the south, not exactly south or north.

In order to protect the left wing of the large formation of officers and soldiers, Henan Governor Chen Qiyu deliberately lined up by the river in order to free up more cavalry to deal with the rebels.

As expected, Zhang Shun did not have any support in the formation.The two sides of the rebel formation could only rely on two cavalry guards, He Jin and He Yilong, which were originally smaller than the cavalry of officers and soldiers.

According to common sense, when the two sides fought, the rebel army would soon find that because of the lack of cavalry in their hands, both sides would be easily taken advantage of by officers and soldiers, and they would fall into a passive position.

It's just that Chen Qiyu never expected that Zhang Shun would be superior in the end. Since he dared to go out to fight in the city, he thought about it for a long time.

He first confiscated the cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, and vehicles in Luoyang City overnight, and secretly loaded most of the artillery in the city into the vehicles, ready to be transported out of the city at any time.

After Suihou went to battle, Zhang Shun ordered Li Shi'an to carry more than a hundred cannons and hide behind the formation of the rebel army.Just waiting for the two sides to compete, Zhang Shun sent He Jin and He Yilong two cavalry to cover the battlefield, and sent Jiang He to test the attack to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers.

In private, Zhang Shun waved the banner of the Chinese army, and the whole army pressed forward.Since the south side of the Danghe River is eastward, as the rebels marched, an open space was reserved on the right side of the formation near the Danghe River.

Immediately, Zhang Shun ordered Li Shi'an to arrange artillery positions here, and hundreds of artillery pieces were all lined up one mile away from the officers and soldiers' car battalion.

Until then, when he saw the densely packed artillery of the rebel army in the distance, Chen Qiyu woke up like a dream and was terrified.

It turned out that the artillery position set up by Li Shi'an was between the Danghe River and the Rebel Army's formation, and it happened to be covered by the Danghe River and the Rebel Army's formation.

If the officers and soldiers wanted to send cavalry to remove the artillery threat here, they could only defeat the two cavalry of He Jin and He Yilong outside the formation, and then bypass the front or back of the formation of the rebel army.

Without even thinking about it, Chen Qiyu also knew that, not to mention that Yang Hualin only had one thousand cavalry under his command, even if He Renlong's one thousand cavalry were sent together, it would only be the end of moths flying into the flames.

"Hateful!" Chen Qiyu clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it on his left hand, saying in grief and indignation, "The thief is really cunning, the host and the guest have switched positions!"
