Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 161

"Qin Liangyu, stop where you are going." Zhu Gan raised the short fire gun in his hand and shouted loudly. Countless complicated thoughts flashed through his mind. As long as this shot is fired, perhaps the [-] elite soldiers of the stone pillars will fall apart. It is even more likely that Qin Liangyu will not take away his secrets.

In his mind, a voice kept urging to shoot, but the more so, the more his hand couldn't pull the trigger, as if it weighed a thousand ounces, maybe it was pity for this famous female general through the ages!

During this short period of hesitation, Qin Liangyu returned to the camp of the Shizhu soldiers. Immediately, the [-] elite soldiers seemed to have souls. When the embankment broke, all the hesitant officers and soldiers also followed the [-] stone pillar soldiers to break through.

Zhu Gan hurriedly sent an order to let go of the siege of the [-] white-armed soldiers, and deal with the remaining officers and soldiers with all their strength.

Qin Liangyu led 15 white soldiers to break through the encirclement. Looking at the red-clothed army who did not pursue, he turned his head and took a deep look at the nameless mountain. All [-] officers and soldiers were raised, but they ended up being wiped out like this. What is the reason? It is the courage of him and his red-clothed army who are not afraid of death, or the fact that there are too many officers and soldiers, but all of them are mob soldiers, generals who are greedy for life and afraid of death, or their own hesitation.

But all of this is over. Although there are [-] white soldiers left, there is almost no familiarity, but countless mules, horses and luggage have been lost. How can [-] white soldiers fight.

The encirclement circle has been closed, and less than 12 red-clothed troops made dumplings for [-] officers and soldiers, but that's it, the officers and soldiers were helpless. Facing the fearless red-clothed army, they could only look at the ocean and sigh, quite like the Jin army back then. The laments of Shangyue's army, it is easy to regret the difficulty of Yue's army.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Zhu Gan shouted from the mountain.

"Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!" Immediately, all the guards around him also shouted.

"Those who surrender will not be killed..." The entire red-clothed army seemed to have a tacit understanding, the voice came, shouted in unison, the voice was magnificent, and the mighty spread.

Most of the officers and soldiers are just temporary farmers and tenants. The weapons in their hands are also their own farming tools. Those with slightly better weapons are hunters. Those who are mixed in the crowd can't exert their combat power at all.

At this time, how can there be any thoughts to fight again, a large group of chaos, the soldiers don't know the generals, the generals don't know the soldiers, facing the terrifying red-clothed army, and after surrendering, the red-clothed army distributes the fields to the people under its rule, all kinds of good and bad In contrast, they no longer had the intention of fighting, and threw away the hoes, sickles, bows and arrows in their hands, and knelt on the ground with their heads in their arms.

Qin Liangyu heard the loud shouts of killing behind him, and his heart was cold. This moment showed the discipline of the red army and the tacit understanding between them. Who the hell is he? How could he, in such a short time, Such a terrifying army has been trained.

The last trace of luck in her heart was gone. If she didn't return to the soldiers at this time, all the 12 young and strong laborers would surrender. She didn't believe that a group of pig-like landlords and gentry could control the signs of soldiers surrendering.

White pole soldiers are good at mountain warfare. The difference between this and cavalry or infantry is mobility. Cavalry is unparalleled in the plains. In the era of cold weapons, it is known as the number one in combat power. This has a premise, that is, it is expensive and wins Mobility, while infantry is inferior in mobility, but it is a bit more flexible, and the arms are cheap, and can easily form a large scale.

And white soldiers are good at mountain warfare, that is to say, marching and fighting in the mountains, their fundamentals are mobility, faster and more flexible than cavalry marching and raiding in the mountains. With abolished martial arts, he could not exert his superiority as a mountain army at all, and was reduced to infantry.

She and her husband trained the white soldiers by themselves. Naturally, they knew the consequences of doing so. Either they would be wiped out, or they would be left in history. She had no way out, so she reorganized the soldiers and horses a little, and ordered to kill them back: "Serve the court. The time has come, follow me to kill the enemy!"

The voice was full of desolation, but also without hesitation.

Looking at the soaring smoke and dust coming back from the distance, Zhu Gan's heart skipped a beat. He thought that Qin Liangyu would leave with white soldiers to destroy his old lair, but he didn't expect that as a female general, she would be so decisive that she would lose her mules, horses and luggage. , At a disadvantage, he resolutely returned to the army and chose to fight the red army.

If this is a gambler who has lost his eyes, he may put his last money on it, but Qin Liangyu is not a gambler, she is a female general with a long history, she is very aware of the consequences of doing so, but still Resolutely chose to return to the division and fight the red army, which is a kind of fearless sacrifice for the country.

Although it is stupid, it is worthy of admiration. Zhu Gan sighed in his heart. If he had pulled the trigger just now, he might have only wounded her, and he could have caught her and persuaded her to surrender slowly by relying on his own identity. But now he has the will to die. Qin Liangyu, who was determined to fight, was terrifying, but there was no possibility of persuading him to surrender.

Sometimes some people are so strange that they push themselves to die. Once the desire to die emerges, the breath in their hearts can support them to go all the way to the dark. For example, Su Wu will not surrender until he dies, but this is worse than death. It takes a lot of courage, and throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, there were many people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and there were more straight ministers who would go all the way to the dark and never change until death.

"If that's the case, then let's fight! Let your reputation as a loyal minister be honored." The pity in Zhu Qian's heart flashed, and then he clenched his long knife and said loudly: "Come on! Let the prefix of tiger, the prefix of leopard, The three major cavalry battalions at the beginning of the word wolf will follow me to fight against the white soldiers."

The white-armed soldiers are a powerful existence that can fight head-on with the Jiannu cavalry, but after all, they have proved their strong combat effectiveness. At this time, they are fighting to the death. Zhu Gan never dared to have the slightest carelessness in his heart, and divided into three major battalions , a total of [-] cavalry, each armed with three-eyed firecrackers, continuous crossbows, and lancets, almost armed to the teeth.

Immediately, the wolf-shaped light cavalry was cruising and shooting around, the tiger-shaped heavy cavalry walked in the front with the three-eyed firecracker, and the leopard-character light cavalry followed closely behind with the short firecracker with a crossbow bow and arrow. pole soldiers.

Qin Liangyu took the lead, looking at the wolf cavalry cruising in the slanting stab ahead, knowing that this was harassment, and wanted to disrupt the formation of the white soldiers. At this time, he was determined to fight to the death with the red army, and did not intend to pay attention, but quickly The leader came to kill the tiger.

Zhu Qianda yelled: "Gao Qiang, lead the leopard cavalry to separate, go to the right and join the wolf cavalry, see me and move the flag."

After receiving the order, Gao Qiang immediately led the leopard cavalry to separate quickly, went to the right, and immediately stood on both sides of the white soldiers, cruising around and shooting at the white soldiers.

At this time, the cavalry of the three routes surrounded the white pole soldiers, the sky was full of smoke and dust, and arrows and firecrackers were coming and going, all of which were tentative attacks. The cavalry of the three routes were all about 5000 people, and the [-] stone pillar soldiers seemed a little at a loss at this time , Qin Liangyu did not dare to divide his troops, and directly collided with the oncoming tiger cavalry.

Zhu Gan didn't try his best. It was still a tentative attack. He was like a patient fisherman. If he wanted to catch big fish in the water, he had to have extraordinary perseverance. , intending to fight to the death with the red-clothed army, it all depends on one effort, if this courage can be vented, then the white-armed soldiers will be much easier to deal with.

Although these [-] elite soldiers are called white-armed soldiers, there are only about [-] elite soldiers who actually use white-armed guns. A professional army that is half army and half peasant.

near!near!Three hundred steps, 250 steps, one hundred steps...

boom!boom!boom!Immediately, the three-eyed firecracker was lit, and it fired continuously at the white-armed soldiers, and the iron bullets flew horizontally. step distance, the dead are very heavy.

As soon as the two armies met, Zhu Qian once again felt the strength of the white-armed soldiers. Fortunately, the tiger cavalry was a heavy-armored soldier, and the hook broke the horse's leg, and many cavalry fell off the horse. The lucky ones were protected by heavy armor. He could stand up immediately, and immediately turned into a heavy armored infantry to fight against the white soldiers, but he was pressed and beaten by the flexible white soldiers.

The personal guards beside Zhu Gan also suffered heavy casualties at this time, and they did not dare to wait any longer, and immediately ordered to retreat. The red army left behind a field of maimed horses and mules, and quickly separated from the white soldiers.

The white-armed soldiers lacked the mobility of their horses, and they were full of helplessness for the tiger cavalry to retreat calmly. This is why the Jurchen iron cavalry was invincible, because its mobility was generally stronger than that of the Ming army, and firearms could not form a large force. With large-scale damage, you can wait for the enemy to be exhausted, and then easily wipe out the enemy.

Fighting one game after another, the red-clothed soldiers are very patient, but the physical strength and courage of the white-armed soldiers are gradually being exhausted. Qin Liangyu has no choice but to fight against others with his peerless martial arts. The infantry met the sadness of the cavalry, and what was even more tragic was that the cavalry of the red army was also equipped with shotguns and firecrackers, and they played the horse and shoot to the extreme. Don't worry at all, it will waste energy when riding and shooting.

The red-clothed army is also gradually gaining the upper hand. At this time, the battle on the unnamed mountain has already ended, and the mountains and plains are full of Ming army officers and soldiers waiting to gather. The captives will be able to select 12 elite soldiers from among them, and join forces with the Red Clothes Army, and the strength of the Red Clothes Army will increase unprecedentedly, reaching an unprecedented [-].

One province can raise one hundred thousand elite soldiers. As long as there is no drought this year, plus some high-yield crops I brought from the south, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, there should be more food surplus. Deep foundation.

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, Zhu Gan's mind is extremely clear, and the morale of intercepting and killing the white soldiers is also boosted. He shouted: "Raise the flag and tell them that the time for the decisive battle has come."
