Chapter 219 Zuo Liangyu wants to escape first for respect

Immediately following Zuo Liangyu's exclamation, there was a series of explosions from the Ming army's artillery positions!

The Kuaibu artillery has been using army artillery for more than half a year. With the modern artillery techniques taught by Liu Sheng, a group of excellent artillerymen have been trained.

In addition, the artillery units in the south and east of Xinye City had already conducted test firings and made targets, so this first round of artillery fire was quite accurate.

More than 100 of the more than [-] explosive bombs fell on the Ming army's artillery positions!
Even the powder barrels next to several cannons were affected and exploded on the spot!

As for the Ming army's gunners and auxiliary soldiers who were injured by this round of shells, there were more than a hundred people. Those who survived were rolling on the ground and howling miserably, and the sounds were extremely sad.

The remaining gunners and auxiliary soldiers were also very frightened, forgetting the military regulations, and ran back one after another.

Seeing the supervising team approaching with swords and cards, he came to his senses and had to return to the artillery position with a sad face.

However, before the Ming army gunners could clean up the artillery position and fire again, the second round of explosive shells from the Kuaibei army fell.

Boom...
In the series of explosions, dozens of gunners and auxiliary soldiers were killed and wounded, and several powder barrels were killed.

Although the remaining gunners and auxiliary soldiers were no longer frightened and fled, they were all frightened, dejected, and had no fighting spirit, and their movements became slower as a result.

Seeing this, the staff behind Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but said: "Commander Zuo, the rebel artillery fire is accurate, but it is still full of explosives. If the artillery fire is used, our army will not gain any advantage."

"Do you think I'm blind? It's up to you!" Zuo Liangyu replied angrily, and then said: "Send an order from my general to have Zhang Yingxiang and Xu Ensheng lead a thousand cavalry each to charge into the formation from the east and west sides to test the situation. The thief army attracted the thief army's artillery fire.

Then let the artillery team take the opportunity to advance and fire as close as one mile away from the rebel position!
Let Hao Xiaozhong lead [-] soldiers to supervise the battle - tell him to spread out the army, don't let it get destroyed by a few rounds of artillery! "

As the command flags near Zuo Liangyu's watch car were waving, the horns were sounding, and the soldiers were coming and going, the Ming army quickly followed Zuo Liangyu's instructions and carried out a series of actions.

Zuo Liangyu has made it this far, and he is by no means a fool. In fact, he is not lacking in martial prowess and military strategy.

He knew very well that in such a large-army battle, it was not easy to press the entire army at the beginning. He had to constantly test the enemy's army, induce the enemy's weaknesses to be exposed, and then seize the weaknesses to expand them in order to win.

In fact, due to various reasons, today's Ming army can only fight on a small scale - the more people there are, the easier it is to fight.

Therefore, there is no big problem with Zuo Liangyu's series of military orders.

However, most of the time, the outcome of a war is not determined solely by the general's military strategy and commanding ability.

There are many factors that can determine victory or defeat, such as equipment, morale, and people's hearts of both sides...
"Kill it!"

Zhang Yingxiang led a thousand cavalry and rushed towards the west side of the Weibu army formation.

Knowing that his mission was to attract enemy artillery fire, Zhang Yingxiang naturally spread his cavalry far apart and made up his mind that the forward would retreat as close as two hundred steps in front of the enemy's formation.

He knew that there were many squatting tiger cannons in Guibu, and there was also a small "Ten Thousand Enemy" that could be easily thrown, so naturally he would not get too close.

What puzzled him was that when he knew that he was only [-] or [-] steps closer, the military formation on the west side of Weibu did not fire a single shell.

'Is it possible that the Ministry of Defense did not arrange tiger squatting artillery on the west side? '

Discovering that the infantry formation of the Kuei tribe in front was still tight, and it was difficult to see the actual situation inside, Zhang Yingxiang couldn't help but have a lucky idea in his mind, so he did not lead the cavalry to turn around immediately.

The horses galloped forward for another dozen steps, and the Wei army's formation suddenly changed, revealing hundreds of squatting tiger cannons.

Zhang Yingxiang's expression changed drastically.

Although it was only two hundred steps away from the Kueibu Crouching Tiger Cannon at this time, the cavalry could rush over in a few breaths, but as a cavalryman under Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Yingxiang did not have the courage to charge into the formation with the Crouching Tiger Cannon like Huang Degong.

As a first-line cavalryman, he rushes to the front - the cavalryman is not at the front of the team, and it is difficult to command the team in time.

So he deflected first and ran diagonally to one side.

The same is true for the Mingqi behind.

It was also at this time that Weibu's Crouching Tiger Cannon was fired.

Hundreds of squatting tiger cannons fired in a series.

Although the Ming Cavalry was scattered, the Weibu fired Gongsun bullets - one of the larger iron bullets could hit two to three hundred steps, and the remaining shotguns could only hit about two hundred steps.

But because there were more than 300 crouching tiger cannons, and the Ming cavalry was relatively close, at this moment, nearly a hundred cavalry were still knocked off their horses.

At the same time, Li Dingguo led [-] cavalry and rushed out from the rear formation on the west side.

When Zhang Yingxiang led the remaining Ming cavalry to retreat, Li Dingguo led the cavalry to follow closely behind.

Zhang Yingxiang turned around and glanced, seeing that there was at least seventy or eighty steps between us, he couldn't help but cursed: "This thief is sick, can he catch up with us?"

The cavalry led by Zhang Yingxiang are not miscellaneous cavalry - although they are not elite cavalry like Guan Ning's cavalry, they are also cavalry directly from Zuo Liangyu, and they use real war horses.

Therefore, Zhang Yingxiang did not think that Li Dingguo could catch up with him.

"Grandma, I want to see if you dare to keep chasing me!"

Zhang Yingxiang led the cavalry and ran towards Zuo Liangyu's Chinese army formation.

According to what he knew, Zuo Liangyu still held eight hundred fine cavalry in his hands - all of them were Zuo Liangyu's servants.

He believed that as long as the thieves chased too close, Zuo Liangyu would definitely send out the fine cavalry.

By then, if we cooperate with him and Xu Ensheng's two thousand cavalry, we might be able to keep more than 1000 thieves cavalry...
"General, the thieves and cavalry have divided their forces!"

The skilled servant suddenly exclaimed, making Zhang Yingxiang come back to his senses.

He looked back and realized that the Wei cavalry had split into two parts at some point.

More than 300 of them were still chasing them, but the remaining [-] were from the artillery team and Hao Xuanzhong's [-] soldiers!

At this time, the Ming Army's artillery team and five thousand soldiers were advancing to a position more than a mile away from the Weibu army's formation under round after round of explosive shells.

Although because the team was very scattered, there were not many real casualties from the bombardment of Kueibu, but morale was extremely low.

Not to mention the gunners and auxiliary soldiers who had already suffered [-] to [-]% casualties. They were only prevented from collapse by being blocked by [-] soldiers.Even the soldiers supervising the battle were frightened and timid.In this case, if the Wei cavalry is allowed to enter, the consequences can be imagined!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yingxiang actually broke into a cold sweat on a hot day.

"Quick! Stop and deal with the hundreds of thieves behind you!"

He shouted loudly and led the cavalry to turn first.

When he actually turned around, he thought that in this situation, he shouldn't be entangled with the more than 300 horsemen behind him at all. He should directly intercept most of the horsemen, and maybe he could cooperate with the infantry to keep them out of the military formation.

So he wanted to take the cavalry to chase most of the cavalry.

Under his operation, not only did his Mingqi slow down, but the team also became closer. The more than 300 Qiqi who were being pursued approached to a few steps away, and more than 100 grenades came directly to greet them!

After throwing the grenade, the horseman ran to the side, and more than 100 riders came up from behind and threw another round of grenades!

After three rounds of this, more than 300 grenades fell, and Zhang Yingxiang and his Mingqi were directly blown away!
Two to three hundred riders fell off their horses on the spot!

The remaining Mingqi, whether they were horses or riders, had never experienced such a density of explosions. They almost collapsed in panic and fled in all directions!
The same goes for Zhang Yingxiang, who was lucky enough to survive.

In a hurry, he and the dozens of cavalry around him ran toward more than 100 Yibu cavalry without paying attention.

During the confrontation, because Ming Qi was still in panic and could not display even half of his strength, Wei Qi was able to kill him as easily as if he was practicing killing a scarecrow!

Even the general Zhang Yingxiang was killed by Gao Wengui, the deputy of the Cavalry Guard Battalion who commanded the three hundred cavalry!

The Ming army infantry is here.

Lieutenant General Hao Xiaozhong was destined to have the cavalry attack at the first opportunity, so he quickly ordered the infantry to gather. The loose infantry had almost no resistance against the cavalry, and only a tight formation could compete with it.

Although these five thousand soldiers are not servants, they belong to the direct line of Zuo Liangyu. They are considered elite infantry, and they are not slow to gather.

However, just as they were about to gather together, another round of explosive bombs fell, killing and wounding two to three hundred people in an instant!

Even Hao Xiaozhong was almost killed by the bomb.

"How dare the rebels fire artillery like this? Aren't they afraid of hurting their cavalry?" Hao Xiaozhong was shocked and angry. His eyes turned red as he looked at the wounded and howling scenes around him.

It was also at this time that Li Dingguo led a thousand cavalrymen and rushed into the infantry formation of the Ming army that had not yet formed!

The Ming army soldiers who had persisted for a long time collapsed instantly!

Flee in a hurry!

"Stop everyone! Where is the supervising team? Those who fled without orders will be beheaded by me!"

Hao Xiaozhong is a rare warrior under Zuo Liangyu, the kind who can fight tough battles.

But precisely because of this, when faced with the current situation, he not only did not run away, but instead wanted to lead the real supervising team (housekeepers) to prevent the retreat.

He took the lead and killed several broken soldiers in succession, but it was to no avail.

Instead, he was targeted by Li Dingguo.

After Li Dingguo's Qianxian cavalry discovered that the Ming army was defeated, they sent out a detachment to rush and kill the large groups of Ming troops who were still organized. From time to time, they would also throw grenades into crowded areas.

In this case, Hao Xiaozhong and more than 100 servants who killed the defeated troops were very conspicuous.

Li Dingguo rushed over quickly, like a bolt of lightning, and directly pierced Hao Xiaozhong's chest with the iron spear in his hand!

A valiant cavalry guard following him chopped off Hao Xiaozhong's head with one knife!

dong dong dong

The drums of the central army of Kuaibu began to sound.

This is the order for the entire army to attack!
Li Dingguo looked to the east and saw that the Qian Mingqi (led by Xu Ensheng) who originally wanted to ask for help fled directly to the southeast. He raised his iron spear and shouted: "Come with me!"

In this way, Li Dingguo actually led a thousand cavalry, chasing the fleeing Ming army, and rushed towards Zuo Liangyu's central army formation!

···
Looking at the car.

Zuo Liangyu felt like a dream when he saw that the seven or eight thousand elite soldiers sent out were defeated by more than 1000 Yi cavalry in coordination with the Yi troops' artillery in just a quarter of an hour!

In his understanding, such an exaggerated defeat only occurred during the field battle between the Ming army and the Qing captives.

'Is it possible that this Yibu bandit army is as powerful as Jiannu? '

With this thought in his mind, Zuo Liangyu almost couldn't help but want to get out of the carriage and lead his servants to escape first out of respect.

But reason told him that if he escaped directly now, it would definitely lead to a collapse of the entire army.

But this time, there were no friendly troops in front to protect him from disaster and hold back the rebels.

Weibu will definitely pursue him along the Tang Baihe River!

Not to mention whether he could escape, even if he escaped and lost many soldiers and horses, he would be arrested and charged by the court.

Chongzhen will definitely liquidate all his previous mistakes and make him live or die!

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu trembled, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Pass... pass my order! Let Xu Ensheng and Li Daoxing lead the cavalry to intercept the thieves!"

Then order Chang Deng to lead a thousand servants and infantry to kill all the defeated troops who dare to charge into the formation! "

　First more.

　　Something delayed me, so the update is late.
