Chapter 216 Zuo Liangyu: Vigorous vitality and everything is competing!

The fierce tiger did not give up resistance out of despair, and shouted with red eyes: "Send my military order! Form an array on the spot and prepare to meet the enemy!"

The bugle sounded, the military flag waved, and the servants carrying the order also rushed to the rear of the team carrying the order flag, loudly conveying the fierce military order as fierce as a tiger.

The soldiers on guard listened for a moment, then spat and cursed: "Two goals! Now let us fight with the bandit cavalry? There are not even any hills around, let's play a ball!"

A young officer said: "Guard, how about we just escape?"

"You are also a second-guess!" The guard gave the young officer a kick. "There are more than 500 horsemen who are as fierce as a tiger. How can we run? If we want to run, we have to wait until the horsemen and thieves fight."

"Hey, it's better to guard you wisely."

Soon the village guards and junior officers had to admit that Meng Ruhu was smarter than them both.

When the defensive formation was set up, all the country soldiers were placed in front (to the south), standing in a single formation separated by dozens of steps!

In this way, even if they want to escape, they can only run towards the rebel army!Otherwise, they will be beheaded by the frontier infantry supervising the battle behind!

If you want to defect on the battlefield and surrender to the rebels, it will be difficult to disrupt the frontier infantry formation. Instead, you will be killed by random arrows from the frontier soldiers immediately...
The distance of three or four miles is very short for the cavalry, and they can cover it in a few minutes.

But the Yibu cavalry did not charge directly into the formation.

For one thing, the Ming army had already set up a defensive formation, and it was not that easy to attack.

Secondly, the Ming army has tiger squatting artillery!
Although there are only twenty or thirty gates, they have all been loaded. If they rush over rashly, at least a hundred cavalrymen will be killed or injured, and it will also cause a big blow to morale.

Therefore, the Wei cavalry that arrived first walked around the formation, waiting for all subsequent cavalry to arrive.

After Shen Wandeng arrived, he looked at the Ming army's formation from a mile away and couldn't help but said: "The commander-in-chief still had the foresight to arrange the Crouching Tiger Cannon for our cavalry guards, otherwise we would have to rush forward recklessly."

Then he ordered the cavalry gunners in the Cavalry Guard to deploy the Crouching Tiger Cannon.

The so-called mounted gunners are actually gunners who use horses to travel.

The self-made tiger crouching cannons of the Yibu are all made of steel, which is lighter than the iron-cast tiger crouching cannon, and has a larger caliber and a longer range.

Therefore, as the production capacity of Queshan Arsenal increased, Xiaoqiwei also equipped a batch of Tiger Crouching Cannons and trained a batch of gunners.

This time Shen Wanteng brought a full 120 tiger squatting guns!
The Nanyang soldiers originally relied on the Crouching Tiger Cannon, and with nearly [-] border troops behind to supervise the battle team, they could barely hold their ground in front of the formation.

But at this time, when I saw the Yibu cavalry taking out more than 100 tiger squatting cannons, I suddenly lost my defense!

"The thieves actually brought the Crouching Tiger Cannon!"

"How can this be done?"

"It's over! We are dead!"

"···"

While the hearts of the local soldiers were in doubt, the Cavalry Guards and Artillerymen showed what a true elite should look like.

I saw 120 gunners dismounting more than 300 steps away from the Ming army's formation, running forward dozens of steps with the Tiger Crouching Cannon, putting the Tiger Crouching Cannon with its own gun stand on the ground, and immediately took out the fire sticks and ignited the medicine pool. Very short leads.

Some of the Nanyang soldiers could not withstand the pressure and fired the Crouching Tiger Cannon when the Kuaibu cavalry artillery troops came.

However, they were all equipped with Gongsun bombs in advance, and could only hit more than 200 steps away, which was not even close to the Kueibu Tiger Crouching Artillery Position about [-] steps away.

After a few cannons fired by the Ming army's rural soldier Xi La, the Yibu tiger squatting cannon immediately followed.

One ring and a series!

And all the weapons are equipped with single iron bombs!
More than 100 iron bullets were fired into the village soldiers' formation, and those who were hit had their shields and armor shattered!

After one round of artillery fire, the rural soldiers in the front row howled miserably and the ground was in chaos.

Shen Wandeng saw the opportunity and immediately asked the knights waiting a mile away to disperse and charge into the formation!

"The thieves are coming! Fire off the cannon! Fire off the cannon!"

A very few officers of the rural army shouted to fire, but only a few rounds of the Crouching Tiger Cannon were actually fired.And because the distance was not too close, the formation of the Cavalry Guards was relatively scattered, and only a few people were shot down and dismounted.

Soon, the Cavalry Guards rushed within a hundred steps of the Ming army's array.

In the chaos, only a few archers of the rural soldiers could shoot arrows, but it was difficult for them to inflict serious damage on the cavalry guards wearing fine cloth armor.Some of the brave cavalry guards were hit by several arrows, but they were still riding steadily on their horses.

When the Cavalry Guards approached to a distance of twenty or thirty steps, the nightmare of the Nanyang soldiers came.

I saw the cavalry guard at the front sitting on horseback lighting grenades one by one and throwing them into the crowd of rural soldiers who were still mostly in chaos!

Boom...
In a series of explosions, the Nanyang Township soldiers collapsed completely.

They ignored the frontier infantry formation dozens of steps behind them. They screamed in fear and ran over like crazy.

Upon seeing this, the infantry general of the border army coldly ordered, "Fire the arrows!"

Immediately, most of the rural soldiers who were about to attack the border army's formation were shot and killed. A few lucky ones rushed to the front of the formation and were hacked to death by the border saber players.

Upon seeing this, a few clever rural soldiers squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, shouting "I surrender", hoping to save their lives.

Just when the Knight Cavalry Guards overwhelmed the Nanyang Township soldiers and started to pursue them, Meng Ruhu keenly seized the opportunity and led more than 500 horsemen (households) to rush over, hoping to fight with the Knight Cavalry Guards!
Fierce Tiger rose from the leader of a small Mongolian tribe that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty to the general officer. He has been on the battlefield for 20 years, has rich experience and keen awareness.

Seeing the scene of the Weibu cavalry throwing grenades, he knew that he must not give the Weibu cavalry a chance to calmly attack the border infantry. Only by taking the opportunity to get entangled with the Weibu cavalry could he seize the small chance of victory.

It's a pity that he is facing the Cavalry Guard!

Perhaps today's cavalry shooting and cavalry are worse than the elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army, but the awareness from the generals to the soldiers is quite good.

The actions of the more than 500 cavalrymen, such as Fierce as a Tiger, were immediately noticed by the soldiers of the Cavalry Guards.Immediately some cavalry took the initiative to meet them, throwing grenades from dozens of steps away.

Because both sides were accelerating, the bow riding at this distance could not cause much damage, but the grenade from the back just hit the forward who was riding as fierce as a tiger!
Boom...
Amidst a series of explosions, the fierce tiger rider suddenly flipped over!
As fierce as a tiger, he stayed in the middle of the horse, his eyes were red, but he kept silent and accelerated the charge!
The same goes for the rest of the riders.

As the two sides quickly approached, the fierce tiger rider who was proficient in mounted archery fired a wave of bows and arrows first.

Many of the Knight Riders were shot, but only a few fell.

At the same time, the more than 100 heroic cavalry guards who rushed to the front fought back, but not with cavalry bows, but with short blunderbuss.

Within ten or twenty steps, the short gun is simply invincible!
It is loaded with shotguns and shoots at such a short distance. However, it is as fierce as a tiger riding it because it requires close combat and the cavalry formation is relatively dense.

So he fired a shot from the short-handed gun and hit several horsemen!

bang bang bang...

The sound of the gunshot was not clear and crisp, but rather muffled.At this time, it was like the call of death, causing the fierce tiger to ride down the horse!
The short gun was thrown away by the Cavalry Guard as soon as it was fired - it was tied with a short rope and would not fall off.

"kill!"

At this time, Meng Ruhu's eyes were not only red, but his eyes were about to burst.Because just a round of grenades and a burst of short muskets killed him, almost half of his more than 500 horsemen were killed!
He shouted loudly, "Kill this!" He rushed into the midst of the Cavalry Guards, slashing and killing!

There were many knights who were killed and felled by him, but the number of knights around him also decreased rapidly.

Soon, the Cavalry Guards stopped engaging him and all rode around him.

Not long after, only a few dozen knights remained beside him, surrounded by a large number of knights.

Not far away, there were the panicky screams of the border infantry who were being chased by the Cavalry Guards as they fled, and the Cavalry Guards shouting "surrender without killing".

Obviously, he failed, failed miserably!
Shen Wandeng stepped out from the crowd, looked at the fierce tiger and said, "You are the fierce tiger commander, right? If you dismount and surrender now, you can avoid death."

The whole world is red in the eyes of a tiger.

Faced with Shen Wandeng's persuasion to surrender, he did not say anything sensational or awe-inspiring, but shouted: "Kill!"

He held up the extended version of the Hundred-Refined Wild Goose Feather Sword and rushed straight towards Shen Wandeng!
Bang bang bang!
When Meng Ruhu was about ten steps closer to the Cavalry Guard, three consecutive gunshots shook his thick body. He froze on his horse and followed the mount for a few more steps before finally falling off.

The horse ran a few steps and returned to the fierce tiger, lowering its head and licking his face.

Whether it was the heroic cavalry guards or the remaining seventy or eighty fierce tiger riders, they all looked at the fierce tiger corpse and fell silent for a moment.

Shen Wandeng sighed, looked at the remaining riders, and said, "You should surrender."

The horsemen looked at the tiger-like corpse with sad expressions, but after a while, they all dismounted and surrendered.

···
June twelve.

Newfield.

The forwards of Ding Qirui and Zuo Liangyu's Ming army arrived seven miles south of Xinye County this morning, near the Jade Emperor Palace.

Then the Ming army arrived one after another along the Tangbai River.

This time, Zuo Liangyu only left 6 troops to guard Xiangyang, and brought more than [-] troops.

In addition, Ding Qirui supervised more than 1 people, and recruited more than [-] officers and soldiers from Xiangyang, Yunyang, and De'an prefectures - both camp soldiers and rural soldiers, which can be said to be a mob.

Thirty thousand soldiers and civilians were also recruited!

Therefore, the Ming army led by Ding and Zuo this time was actually 20 to [-] strong, so it was called an army of [-]!
Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

Not to mention 12 soldiers and horses.

It's definitely not possible for so many people to gather in one place.

Therefore, on the way here, Zuo Liangyu and Ding Qirui made detailed arrangements for their troops based on the detailed maps of the Xinye area.

Zuo Liangyu's Chinese army of more than [-] people and Ding Qirui's supervising army of more than [-] people built a camp near the Jade Emperor Palace, which was equivalent to using this place as the Ming army's headquarters for this Xinye battle.

Then Wang Yun, the subordinate general of the subordinate general, became the chief general, and the subordinate deputy general Zhang Yingyuan was his deputy. He led four subordinate generals Wu Xueli, Xu Yuxian, Jin Shenghuan and Hui Dengxiang, totaling more than [-] people.

In addition, more than 1 officers and soldiers recruited by Ding Qirui were stationed on Wangpo in the east of the city, five or six miles away from the main camp in the east of Yibu City.

In addition, a total of more than [-] people, led by the deputy general Xu Yong, the deputy general Ma Jinzhong, and several other generals and guerrillas, went to camp seven or eight miles northwest of the city.

There were thousands of cavalry in this part of the auxiliary troops, but they belonged to various ministries and were quite chaotic. Therefore, Zuo Liangyu sent him the task of attacking the grain and channel roads of the Wei tribe.

In addition, he also asked his immediate deputy general Li Guoying to lead [-] troops and station them in the west of the city.You can look for opportunities to cross the river and attack the city, but the main purpose is to focus on the west of Xinye County to achieve the purpose of siege.

He also asked Lu Guangzu, his immediate deputy general, to lead five thousand troops and station them six or seven miles southeast of the city.

Because Zuo Liangyu also saw that the south and east camps of Weibu City and the southeast corner of the county are horns with each other.

So Lu Guangzu was asked to stay here. As long as the corner situation of Weibu showed a flaw, he could cooperate with the Ming army's camp in the south or east of the city to attack one of the two camps in Weibu.

In order to allow Zuo Liangyu to send troops to Nanyang, Ding Qirui secretly handed over the right to mobilize and command troops.

Therefore, this arrangement of troops and horses was actually done by Zuo Liangyu, and Ding Qirui was just the commander-in-chief on the surface.

Speaking of which, it was also the first time that Zuo Liangyu commanded an army of 10,000+ in battle. It felt particularly good, as if a state of vitality and all things competing was right in front of him!

　Second more.

　　[Historically, in the autumn of 1641, the invading army returned to Nanyang. After the city was broken, they fought with the enemy in the streets as fierce as a tiger and died of exhaustion. 】

　　Good night~
