Win the Ding 1617

PS: I have been away for a few days due to business, sorry everyone.Thank you for your concern.

In the rainy weather, Sun Chuanting, with a livid face, ordered Qian Zong and dozens of officers and soldiers to be tied up and beheaded for the first time to flee.

Dozens of personal soldiers of the Supervising Chinese Army, holding high their heads dripping with blood, galloped through the march that stretched for dozens of miles, announcing loudly that these people feared the enemy like a tiger and did not fight. The crime of retreating first.

"Those who want to go back to Shaanxi to hug their wives and children have to show their disposition of Lengwa in northern Shaanxi, just move forward!"

There was the general who saw the opportunity quickly, taking advantage of the situation to loudly encourage morale in his battalion, motivating his soldiers and officers to work hard and fight a bloody way.He said so in his mouth, but he felt uneasy in his heart. The [-] new troops who acted as the vanguard were considered elite even among the entire Shaanxi army. How could they lose so badly in front of the rogues just by meeting each other?

"The governor gave you 1 horses, how come you only returned more than [-] horses?"

In Niu Chenghu's military tent, Sun Chuanting's face was congealed with murderous intent, and Niu Chenghu, a veteran soldier, did not dare to make a sound. The shoulders of the lieutenant were all hanging in the wind and rain.

"Governor!" The severe pain on his body distorted the lieutenant's facial features, and sweat dripped from his head.However, he didn't dare to go down to rest, knowing that he could resist the pain and answer Sun Chuanting's question.

"Biaoxia originally thought that the blunderbusses' firecrackers could not last long in the wind and rain, so the supervisors rushed forward. In order to suppress the rogues' firecrackers, they spared no effort in bow strength. They would rather kill the rogues if the crossbow was damaged. The firecrackers. As everyone knows, the bandits not only have continuous firecrackers, but also set up artillery in the mountains on both sides! After two volleys of firecrackers, my attacking soldiers were scattered and panicked. The bandits used cannons The violent bombardment immediately caused heavy losses to our soldiers."

"Then, the bandit firecrackers turned from defense to offense, and slowly stepped forward. Every ten steps or so, they bombarded our offensive formation with firecrackers. Every two rounds of bombardment, they used cannons to help out. Our army is invincible. I wanted to pack up the troops, retreated a little, and reorganized the camp. When the cannons were mobilized to move forward, the bandits suddenly used fine cavalry to copy the two wings of our army, and attacked the last general's team into several sections. Soldiers swooped away."

"In the last general's camp, there were no more than a thousand people killed and wounded by the exiles, more than two thousand people fled back, and more than a thousand people were killed in battle. Most of the rest were taken away by the exiles!"

Such a rogue tactic?The firecrackers, artillery, and cavalry relied on the mountainous terrain to exert their power to the extreme. It is no wonder that the casualties of the ten thousand soldiers were so huge.Counting the wounded soldiers in the battalion, they barely had less than half of their strength left.

Niu Chenghu was thinking in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly worried, if it was his turn to fight this bandit, how much would be the casualties?

However, according to the law of the devil, what you are afraid of will come.Just as Niu Zongbing was making small calculations in his heart, Sun Chuanting spoke.

"Boss Niu!"

"The mark is here!"

"Let the new barracks make way for you, your infantry and cavalry go forward together, and you must break through the blocking of the bandit leader Luo Hu in one fell swoop! Open the way for the army!"

When Sun Chuanting said this, his expression changed. "Now you can order someone to go to the Superintendent Biaozhong Army to receive [-] silver dollars as a reward for recruiting frontrunners. After breaking through the road, the governor will immediately write a letter to the court and ask for an official title for you. If you still can't tear it open. You come look!"

Sun Chuanting pointed to the head of a thousand generals hanging on the treetop outside the tent: "This governor's military law will certainly not allow you to wait!"

Sun Chuanting even dared to kill Madman He, so what is a mere Niu Chenghu?Dang even was so frightened that he almost spit out urine.He was submissive in his mouth, and immediately sent someone to arrange it without mentioning it.

No wonder Sun Chuanting was impatient and wanted to kill people at every turn.

The rangers arranged on the two wings of the army, and the troops of Gao Jie, who served as the rear guard for the army, kept sending news from the east, south, and north.The peasant army's brigade of cavalry continued to approach the official army, numbering in the tens of thousands.After the large group of cavalry, a larger group of infantry pressed against the wind and rain.Now more than [-] officers and soldiers are concentrated in this narrow area with a radius of tens of miles. If they can't break out before the main force of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai arrives, then Sun Chuanting will really become Li Zicheng of Tongguan Nanyuan back then.

The question is, Li Zicheng was defeated when he was defeated, and he was able to hide in Shangluo Mountain and make a comeback. If he lost, would the Emperor Chongzhen in Beijing give him a chance?Will he be given a chance by the officials and gentry who vomited blood in Shaanxi under the New Deal that he forcefully implemented? ?

His only way out now is to save as many troops as possible. According to the unwritten rules of the Ming court these years, as long as there are soldiers and horses in hand, no matter how badly he loses, he will kill and burn the people of the prefectures and counties. No matter how angry people and gods are, the court will only pretend not to see it!

A burst of shouts was sent from the official road by the wind and rain to the ears of Luo Hu and Zhang Nai, who were inspecting the captured and trophies of various ministries in their own positions.

"Brothers, brothers! Master Supervisor knows that everyone is a loyal and brave man! They are all heroes from Shaanxi! If you want to go back to Shaanxi to eat pot helmets, you have to work hard! Open the door in front of you, Master Supervisor People reward thirty thousand silver dollars!"

More than a dozen military officers, guards, etc., waved a lot of silver dollars in their hands in front of their respective battalion posts, shouting hoarsely.Behind them, dozens of porters put heavy baskets on the mud floor, lifted the lid of the basket, and it was full of shining silver dollars.

"Recruiting the death squad now! Those who are willing will be given 15 yuan in silver dollars each! The opening is opened, and each person will be given another 20 yuan!"

Under the lure of heavy rewards, soldiers from Shaanxi kept walking out of the ranks, took off their cotton armor, and lined up on the official road in front of the mountain with their shirts on and swords in their hands.

"Huzi, it seems that Old Sun doesn't have any new tricks anymore, and he has used all the tricks of recruiting strikers with a lot of money!"

"Brother, you have to worry about it too! Look, the damn rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it is becoming more and more difficult to refill our gunpowder. As long as Old Sun keeps throwing troops and horses, we are really hard to deal with." Luo Hu pointed to the increasingly dense and continuous autumn rain outside the shack, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Zhang Nai didn't take it seriously, and just filled a bowl of horse broth in a copper pot hanging from the brazier and handed it to Luo Hu, "You, you! Little Hu, how can I, my brother, praise you? These years Don’t know how to fight anymore?! When we entered the camp without firecrackers, how the hell did we fight those battles? Now our soldiers and horses are complete with swords and guns, and armor is complete. Back then, we could be happy for days when we got a piece of iron armor .But you look now? Look around you?"

Zhang Nai gave the copper bowl to the sworn brothers who grew up in the smoke of gunfire, his eyes were full of praise from the elder brother to the promising younger brother.Luo Hu chuckled twice as he sipped the hot soup.Looking at the soldiers around them, they were the most common infantry, and they also had a cotton armor or coconut shell armor for protection.And those veterans and small bosses who are older or have official positions wear the same dragon leather armor.The densely packed copper nails are covered with rainwater. This armor is now the favorite in the army. It is not only light, but also has a good protective effect. It is also first-class against wind, cold, rain and snow. (Just kidding! Would you try a crocodile leather jacket on?)

"That's right! Brother Naizi, we don't have firecrackers, we still have swords and spears, and your cannons on the mountain! I have two thousand firecrackers that I haven't been willing to use, and I still have thorns to use!"

Looking at the dozens of baskets lined up in front of them, the eyes of the more than a thousand pickers who were selected were almost red.The silver dollars inside almost flowed out of the mouth of the basket!

"Brothers. The commander-in-chief said, rush forward and tear open the mouth for the whole army. The money rewarded by the master supervisor belongs to everyone! However, if there are those who are timid and retreat before the battle, don't blame me for being cunning." ruthless!"

At the back of the team, [-] knife and axemen lined up in a row, each holding a machete. A cold light flashed on the broad knife body, and rainwater flowed down from the tip of the knife.

"Rush forward. Reward number!"

"Rush up! Reward number!"

With a howl, the front formed by more than a thousand Lengwa from northern Shaanxi rolled up a wave of people in the rain, and rushed straight to Luo Hu's position.

"Send an order to the brothers in front. Get out of the way. Bring my two thousand firecrackers up, let them taste the taste of lead and thorns!" From the binoculars, I saw these more than a thousand people stumbling through the muddy water all the way. Coming bravely, Luo Hu sneered.

With the help of the rain curtain, Niu Chenghu's frontrunner had already rushed through the area where the first rangers were beaten to death, and the outlines of the houses in Wulichuan Town could already be seen in the rain.Behind them, Niu Chenghu's main force was advancing steadily and steadily.Every dozens of steps forward, horses will be placed, and dense spears will be used to block the rebel cavalry that may appear on both sides at any time.

Also facing the wind and rain were the two thousand firecrackers that Luo Hu kept in his hands, all equipped with flintlocks and socket thorns.

"General! The enemy Xuanfeng is less than eighty steps away from me!"

"What are you panicking! You are not allowed to fire if you are less than sixty paces away!"

"Seventy steps!"

"Order, raise the gun!"

With a bang, the gunners in the front row took off the guns from their shoulders and held the flat ends in their hands.

"put!"

The five hundred firecrackers in the first row raised their firecrackers in unison, and suddenly a dense layer of firecrackers appeared in the queue like a forest, aiming mercilessly at those who rushed into the best shooting range of sixty steps Pull the trigger.

"Porphyrin porphyrin" the muffled sound of the firecrackers continued, and violent flames burst out, following the firelights, a large amount of dense smoke produced by the firecrackers mixed with the rainwater.The densely packed projectiles were passionately pushed forward by the power generated by the burning gunpowder, half-push and half-push towards the oncoming cavalry.And those poor forwards, not only didn't have much armor on their bodies, but all of them were shirtless in order to show that they had the courage to advance and retreat, and to be killed by these guys at such a close distance. Hugging and kissing, regardless of people or horses, there will be thick and thick blood holes on the body immediately.

When the projectile hits a person's body, it is a big hole that is broken and tattered.Due to the irregularity of the ballistic trajectory, the final wound area may be several times, or even dozens of times, that of the projectile surface.This kind of pain is unbearable for ordinary people, and few people can survive being shot in the torso.

Four times in a row, each time a volley of [-] firecrackers was fired, filling the front of the rebel army with gunpowder and smoke, and the deafening volley of firecrackers kept ringing.The entire formation is like a hedgehog or porcupine with spiky spikes all over the body, and the spikes are the bayonets in the muzzles of the outermost gunners.

The more than a thousand picks he recruited at a cost of twenty to thirty thousand silver turned into corpses lying in the muddy water and the lottery numbers standing in the mud during these four volleys. , Soaked in muddy water and bloody water piece by piece here and there.

However, there was only one shot, and when the inspiring sound of firecrackers was no longer heard from the opposite side, someone in the Ming army yelled: "It's raining! The thief's firecrackers are not working well. Let's charge with Laozi!" Go up to the lottery number!"

It is true that money touches people's hearts.When people suddenly realized that the opponent was now on the same starting line as their own technical level, they immediately threw away the fear caused by the four rows of firecracker salvo just now.Holding the long and short weapons in their hands, they roared.Stepping on the corpses of his comrades and rushing forward!

"Huzi! Let your firecrackers withdraw! Let my soldiers go up! They are not good at this kind of work!" Zhang Nai drew his sword from his waist, ordered the generals around him to prepare their horses, and then led his subordinates Rush to the battlefield to fight with Niu Chenghu!

"Brother Naizi! Don't worry! Take a look first!" Luo Hu grabbed Zhang Nai's oilcloth poncho, handed him the binoculars, and asked him to watch the battlefield.

on the battlefield.Thousands of men from the two armies have been mingled together.

I originally thought that after firing a pre-loaded projectile in a rainy day, the firecracker would become a useless fire stick. You can safely and boldly rush to the front and use the sharp blade in your hand to exchange the head of the opposite person for silver!However, what they never expected was that these gunfire soldiers turned into spearmen in an instant!

As soon as the two armies fought, Niu Chenghu secretly yelled bitterly!Originally thought that with the help of the weather, it would not be a problem for the whole army to deal with the thieves who relied on the sharp weapon of firecrackers to deal with the officers and soldiers, but it turned out that the stabbing skills of these rogues were even worse than the firecrackers. Easy to deal with!

Not only can you trick the left to stab the right, trick the right to stab down, and trick the bottom to stab up, but also the coordination of eyes, hands and feet is more in place.Especially hitting the spines.The level of viciousness and proficiency in every movement far surpassed that of Ming soldiers. He witnessed a Ming soldier holding a long spear and stabbing a rogue firecracker with his spear. He was not in a hurry, but there were already two firecrackers stabbing the spear from the flanks!Immediately afterwards, the firecracker's left hand moved forward to the right slightly to suppress the long spear in the servant's hand, and his right hand pushed the spear forward vigorously. At the same time, he stepped forward with his left foot and turned around to send it forward. Pierced into the vital part of the servant's chest.The gunfire soldier didn't even look at it, and kicked the servant to the ground with a flying kick.Pull out the thorn, and the three of them continued to search for the target together with two colleagues.The whole movement was fast and powerful, and it was done in one go, so Niu Chenghu almost shouted out!

Two thousand gunfire soldiers and Niu Chenghu's Guyuan Town Zhengbing soldiers and horses fought in one place.Although there is a huge disparity in the number of each other, after all, the battlefield area is narrow, and no matter how many soldiers and horses there are in the main barracks, they cannot all be invested at once.You can only join the battlefield one by one, which forms the most taboo refueling tactic for military strategists!On the contrary, the Zhenshan Battalion formed a partial strength advantage, and it was often three or five firecrackers who stabbed the soldiers and horses of the main battalion with swords and guns with their blunderbusses.The blunderbuss against the long spear and broadsword made up for the remaining shortcomings in terms of quantity and coordination.

Those soldiers and horses of the main battalion, who were skilled and eager to fight, were suppressed and beaten by the two thousand gunfire soldiers of the Zhenshan battalion, which was far smaller than their own, and they were beaten back step by step.The horse-repelling spears that had been set up just now to prevent cavalry raids also became accomplices at this time. Soldiers in the main barracks were constantly pushed and shoved on the horse-repelling spears by the crowd, stabbing them like bloody gourds.

"The governor!"

Niu Chenghu, who was defeated by the Zhenshan camp commanded by Wan Xizi, knelt down in front of Sun Chuanting, covered in blood.

"The bandit is fierce and fierce! The general is short of troops, please send troops to help him!" Niu Chenghu is also a character, he doesn't say he can't beat him, but he doesn't have enough troops, so he asks the governor Sun Chuanting to mobilize reinforcements for him. Increase troops.

Just now, the deeds and actions of Niu Chenghu's subordinates were all seen by Sun Chuanting, Zheng Jiadong and others. Sun Chuanting thought to himself that he was leading the army himself, that's all!

At this time, just in response to the saying "Compassion does not govern soldiers and righteousness does not govern wealth", and they can only keep throwing the lives of soldiers into this melting pot of human life like firewood, or they will be burned to ashes by this furnace , or, is to burn through the stove!

"This supervisor will order the follow-up [-] soldiers to immediately accept your command and dispatch!"

With the extra ten thousand recruits in his hands to squander, Niu Chenghu's waist immediately became much thicker.Dang even stand in front of the battle and shout to boost morale!

"Brothers! God help! The heavens are auspicious! This rain has helped us a lot! Otherwise, we don't know how much we will suffer from the firecrackers of the high-class thieves! Right now, the firecrackers of the thieves are misfired. Relying on the guns to fight with us, although the bandits are fierce, but after all, we are alone and alone, our team can just rush forward, tear open the gap, and rush forward for dozens of miles to reach Tongguan!"

"If you want to go back and sleep with your mother-in-law, give it to me!"

The Ming army brigade covered the official road, and the crowded flow of people rushed down the mountains, forming a sea of ​​people on the hillside. The red military uniforms on their bodies looked particularly eye-catching and heavy in the rain.

"You two young generals! General Shuangxi ordered me to pass on the command of the Generalissimo. The road is difficult in rainy weather, and it will take at least half a day for Chuang Wang's army to reach Wulichuan. How long can you hold on? If you really can't Now, let’s retreat a few miles, lest that deaf grandson go too crazy!”

An old battalion general who came to convey Li Zicheng's military order under the order of Li Shuangxi's general conveyed Li Zicheng's intentions to Luo Hu and Zhang Nai with his whole body wet.

"Please go back and report to the Generalissimo, saying that the children are playing happily in Wulichuan, and their bones have not fully moved! Please rest assured, the Generalissimo!"

Zhang Nai looked relaxed and determined.

However, just in case, the two daring little guys quietly ordered people to continue repairing the fortifications along the official road, relying on Wulichuan Town, so as to stop them! (~^~)
