Chapter 86 Death Battle

The road to the east of Jiuxian Town is along the valley of a small river in the mountains. "Zijin Liang" they also had to attack east along the river valley.Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, was caught off guard immediately. He thought that "Zijin Liang" and others were soft-shelled turtles waiting to be caught.Only an offensive formation was arranged, but no corresponding defensive formation was arranged.

He was caught off guard by "Zijin Liang" and the others for a while.After the Qingqi attack camp that had come to harass was over, according to Song Tongyin's subordinates, they rested a few miles away from Jiuxian Town.As a result, "Zijin Liang" and others concentrated cavalry and launched a counter-surprise attack.

Song Tongyin's vanguard cavalry was caught off guard and was beaten completely.I had to flee all the way, but the way I came across happened to meet Song Tongyin's thousands of infantry who were preparing to support the cavalry.When the officers, soldiers and infantry discovered the enemy's situation and finished forming, they were driven by the defeated cavalry to attack the formation.

The officers and soldiers were in a dilemma for a while, not knowing how to deal with their own cavalry.As a result, the chasing rebel army took the opportunity to attack and smashed it in one fell swoop, covering several miles.At this time, Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi, had just arrived at the mouth of the valley with more than [-] main force, ready to go into the valley to catch the thieves.

But the cavalry who didn't want to be defeated retreated in advance, and Song Tongyin got the news that "thieves and bandits are rebelling", and quickly deployed soldiers at the mouth of the valley to prevent the rebels from leaving the valley.When the "Zijin Liang" and other rebels rushed out of the valley, they were blocked by Song Tongyin's troops head-on, and a burst of guns bombarded the rebels back to the valley.

Zhang Shun's team moved slowly because of bullock carts, artillery, etc., and trailed behind the "Eight King Kong".When he got near Taniguchi, he saw a sea of ​​people in front of him.Zhang Shun stepped forward and asked, only to realize that the rebel army was blocked in the valley and could not get out.

"Zijin Liang" knew that he was resourceful, so he quickly invited him to have a look.Zhang Shun followed "Zijinliang", "Laohuihui", "Bajingang" and others to look out, and saw the Shanxi governor Song Tongyin's troops lined up, just blocking the entrance of the valley.

The opponent occupies a flat area, and the formation is suitable for deployment; while the rebel army occupies the valley, although there are more people than the opponent, it is impossible to deploy the formation.We can only adopt refueling tactics and send heads one by one.If the officers and soldiers are slightly out of support, they will retreat a little, and then ride on them, and the rebel army will be defeated again.

Zhang Shun now understood that if the rebel army defended this terrain and the officers and soldiers attacked, the rebel army only needed a small number of troops to prevent the officers and soldiers from entering; but otherwise, no amount of rebel troops could get out.This is exactly "there is a strong enemy before, and there are pursuers behind", and the situation of the rebel army was precarious for a while.

Zhang Shun thought about it, and said to "Zijin Liang" and the others: "It is not difficult to break this lineup, but the difficulty lies in the lack of ammunition and artillery. If the artillery ammunition is sufficient, I can break it for everyone."

"Zijinliang" was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly returned the cannon he had exchanged from Zhang Shun to Zhang Shun.However, due to the emergency situation before, several guns were discarded on the road, and Zhang Shun could only return eleven artillery pieces, eight two-inch guns, and three three-inch tiger squatting guns.

Therefore, Zhang Shun added his original cannons and newly cast cannons, and owned a total of thirty-six cannons, of which eighteen were [-]-inch calibers and eighteen were [-]-inch calibers.Zhang Shun begged for a lot of gunpowder and bullets from everyone before he was satisfied.

He ordered all the men under his command to put the cannons on the ox carts, form a formation around the carts, and the cavalry behind the rear, rushed towards Song Tongyin's large formation with the chariot formation.Seeing this, Song Tongyin quickly ordered to bombard with artillery.

It's just that Song Tongyin acted hastily and didn't have time to bring more large-caliber artillery.Most of the cannons in their hands were tiger squatting cannons, bowl-shaped guns and other firearms. For Zhang Shun's team with vehicle defense, the threat was not very great, and only a few unfortunate people were injured by firearms.

Conversely, Zhang Shun was not in a hurry to order to fire, but just ordered the soldiers to follow the formation and press close to the formation of officers and soldiers.Song Tongyin saw that things were not going well, so he quickly ordered bows, crossbows and firecrackers to shoot.Most of the soldiers in the front row of Zhang Shun's team were protected by cotton armor and other armors. Many of them were hit by firecracker bows and arrows, but they basically didn't suffer much damage. Only some were killed and injured on the spot.

After all, Zhang Shun's subordinates were all recruits, so they panicked and wavered a little.Seeing that things were going badly, Zhang Shun quickly ordered five [-]-inch caliber and five [-]-inch caliber tiger squat guns to bombard Song Tongyin's formation with live ammunition.

Song Tongyin's army was still deployed in the traditional way, and the lineup was relatively dense. When Zhang Shun fired live ammunition into it, many people were killed and injured immediately, and even a few unlucky soldiers were directly strung together by live ammunition.Now the morale of Zhang Shun's subordinates was greatly boosted, but Song Tong Yin's soldiers began to riot for a while.

Shanxi governor Song Tongyin saw that Zhang Shun's "tortoise firecracker formation" was really difficult to fight, and saw that he had already released the artillery, so he immediately seized the opportunity and ordered the cavalry to charge into the formation.There were quite a few officers, soldiers and cavalry, but because the terrain was not conducive to deployment, only more than [-] cavalry were sent to charge.

Since Zhang Shun had a large number of soldiers and only a hundred bullock carts, they could not tightly surround the soldiers, and there was a large gap in the middle, so the officers and soldiers were not worried that Zhang Shun would use vehicles to prevent the cavalry from attacking.Five hundred cavalry doesn't sound like much, but once they charge, they are no less powerful than thousands of troops.

Many people's understanding of cavalry stays in text and film and television works, but when they really face cavalry, they can truly understand why cavalry is the master of the cold weapon era.

The weight of war horses is generally not less than six hundred catties, the weight of soldiers is not less than one hundred catties, and the weight of armor and weapons is not less than one hundred catties, and the total weight is more than eight hundred catties, which is about the weight of a thousand catties in later generations. .

The movement of this thousand-jin weight cannot be stopped by manpower, let alone the movement of hundreds of thousand-jin weight.The ground shook suddenly, and the sound of horseshoes was deafening; the cavalry was far higher than the infantry, and they came oncoming, and the oppressive soldiers were all terrified.

Although Zhang Shun was considered a brave man, he didn't realize that the two forces were fighting and wanted to flee.He gritted his teeth, barely suppressed the fear in his heart, and shouted loudly: "The second group of artillery is ready, and the rest of the artillery are not allowed to fire!"

At this moment, several gunners who were extremely terrified tried to ignite the cannons in front of them with the torches in their hands tremblingly.Zhang Shun charged up, kicked one over, and knocked down another with a whip.At this time, Zhang Shun didn't talk about reasoning and rules, but just shouted: "Don't listen to my order, don't fire!"

The others were already overwhelmed with fright, they were all dumbfounded, standing where they were, not sure if they had heard Zhang Shun's order.Zhang Shun thought of Liu Yinggui at this time, and shouted loudly: "Where is the military judge? Quickly stand behind me, and anyone who dares to flee and retreat will be killed without mercy!"

That Liu Yinggui said "Ah", as if he had just recovered from his fear, and subconsciously replied: "My lord, Yinggui is here!" He quickly drew out the knife, kicked it left and right, and ordered them all to draw it out. When the sword came, he ran to the back of the formation to supervise the battle.
