Chapter 538 Yan'an Pursuit Battle

On the same morning, there were bursts of gunfire outside the south gate of Yan'an City. Bateer led the Li Ziying soldiers and horses to fight the rebel army. The contact battle was not easy. The expanded number of more than 1000 soldiers only had more than 300 guns. The two sides fought and lost them. The soldiers of Li Ziying in the two trenches have retreated to the third line of defense

Commanding these new recruits is very difficult, tearing their throats is useless. Fortunately, the rebel army who launched the charge is not much better. When they heard the sound of the guns, they all got down and dared not charge.

If the fight continues like this, the team will collapse, Battelle curses and shouts in vain, but the rebel army has several cannons roaring, most of them missed, but it is enough to scare the courage of the newcomers. Cannon can't do anything

Thick smoke billowed in the city of Yan'an, black clouds filled the air, and more and more rebels rushed out of the gate of the city, and their momentum was irreversible.

In the forward position, Cheng Kun marched to Battelle with his waist down and shouted: "Baying officer, the enemy is desperately trying to break through from us, but the soldiers will not be able to stand up. When fighting fires in the city, you lead the main force to follow Lei Heng" [

"Trash bastard" Battelle looked at the new soldiers who were shooting in the fortifications ahead. They stretched out their guns and fired indiscriminately without even aiming and reloading. This battle is impossible to fight. If the enemy launches a charge, the team will collapse. Nai said: "Listen to you, I will lead the cavalry to wipe out part of the enemy and order the frontline troops to withdraw."

"Stop Lei Heng and never let this kid escape from our hands. Li Ziying can't afford to lose face." Cheng Kun confessed and ran to the forward position to command the troops to retreat.

There are many Li Ziying veterans on the front line. If these people are dead, the team will not be able to lead the fight until the third round. find a way to escape

The momentum of the rushing army is like a rainbow, and the rebel army marches forward wave by wave. The forward battalion is brave and tenacious, and the flanks carefully protect the central army. There are many vehicles and even women sitting on the carriage. The rebel army's team Pull into a fan to take the initiative and fight for your life. Go forward and form three camps. At the end, there are groups of ordinary people with their families and their mouths. The number of followers exceeds tens of thousands.

The seasoned Battelle led more than 400 cavalry away from the battlefield and did not dare to approach the enemy's large army. The mob was numerous and had guns and cannons, forming a desperate momentum on the battlefield. Even the Li Zi Battalion composed of veterans did not dare to touch the tiger's beard of the rebel army.

The postmaster Zhang Haojie tightened his horse's reins anxiously and said anxiously: "Baying officer, the enemy breaks out in the direction of Ganquan County, where our army's defense is weak, what should we do?"

Battelle shouted anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not in a hurry, don't hurt the enemy, our act of preserving our strength will be criticized, and Master Li will not use us in the future, send me out to find a soft persimmon, let's eat it first Take a bite of the meat and then find a way to eat the fat sheep in one bite.”

Battelle upholds Li Guolou's philosophy, don't fight the enemy as a last resort, Li Guolou is not the commander-in-chief, he can recruit thousands of soldiers, the Li Zibattalion has a formal organization, only a reinforced battalion has usable soldiers to take shape, now they are disabled, go back, no easy to explain

Battelle is quite displeased with the enemy's strong army, strong horses and black troops, with no end in sight. He only has more than 400 soldiers at his disposal. The newly recruited recruits are unbearable. The wild horses will be divided into several groups of bandit armed forces that harm the locality. He has no idea how to fight next. More than 400 cavalry will be surrounded and eaten by the enemy if they are not careful.

Battelle didn't have Li Guolou's scheming, but just followed Li Guolou's plan step by step. Lei Heng, the battalion officer who was originally in charge of the supply camp, was prepared for the sudden rebellion of the Gelaohui members, so he took emergency measures in the shortest time, but now the situation is treacherous. Thousands of insurgents rushed out of Yan'an City, which made him overwhelmed. Fighting or not fighting will cause trouble. Where will the next battle go? He can only disperse the cavalry around him into several small units and make a show along the way. 』A small group of troops disturbing the rebels

The rebel army was divided into several small units with different strengths. The old, weak, sick, and disabled mobs soon fell behind. These people walked with swords and spears. Later, they couldn't even carry the weapons and food bags in their hands. troop last

For these useless anti-thief cavalry, they first began to harass. Cavalry continued to shoot and spy on the enemy's reality. Finally, they found out the truth. This is a weaker cannon fodder. Going forward, yellow clouds cover the battlefield, the ground shakes, and the sound of horseshoes stirs people's hearts

More than 400 cavalry formed a siege of more than 3000 mobs, many of whom were Yan'an residents with their families. Their homes were destroyed and they wanted to follow the rebel army to live. But during the war, the rebel army would not care about these burdens and let these families live on their own. self-destruct

The sound of gunfire kept ringing, wave after wave of mobs fell to death on the green grass, the Qing army used the tactic of chasing sheep with wolves, and kept shooting to drive away these mobs. Living beings, this is war. There is no benevolence and righteousness, no moral restraint. As long as the commander gives an order, the soldiers will become killing machines and massacre without emotion. Those so-called teachers of benevolence and righteousness are good at this way. Either fell to the ground or participated in the massacre. Those who followed the rebels out of the city are all rebels. They should be killed and they must be killed.

Battelle vented his anger of losing a battle on these mobs, and wanted to slaughter them all. There were dead bodies on the battlefield. At least one or two thousand people had already died on the yellow land. Suddenly, there was loud gunshots in the distance. It should be two teams fighting. Fire

Rangers came to report to Yang Dawazi that group of troops was fighting with the rebel army, and the battle was fierce on the Huangtugang on the left.

Battelle's expression changed and he shouted: "Stop shooting." Wei Qun led a team of troops to gather the prisoners of war and blow the rallying call to light up the flag for me to attack the enemies on the left wing."

Battelle was clever and clever just now when he carried out the massacre, he didn't raise the banner. Now he has to cooperate with his allies to fight and immediately display the Li character banner. The remaining 1000 civilians, children, women and children on the battlefield were able to save their lives. The battle was full of variables and survived. The captives became witnesses of the Qing army's kindness to the enemy. The life and death of the prisoners of war depended only on the commander's thought. The war was full of uncertainty. More than 1000 civilians who were originally destined to die here survived.

"Women" and children wept bitterly and grieved, their fate was ill-fated, their eyes were full of corpses, their bodies were horrified, their blood was stained, the vast land was a mess, and the death-free banner came too late. Why did the Li character banner arrive? More than 1000 civilians, children, and "women" survived Ru is still rejoicing to meet Li Zi to rescue the living Bodhisattva who is in distress[

Dawazi Yang desperately led 180 cavalry to pursue the rebels. Mu San led more than 1000 newly recruited infantry to follow behind. It is a grain warehouse, but in order to prove innocence and a fight to the death with the rebels is inevitable, so Dawazi Yang and Mu San discussed that he would follow the fleeing rebels to find opportunities to fight.

Yang Dawazi led 180 cavalry and urged the horses to catch up with a group of rebels. Seeing that the rebel army was in disarray, the fighters were fleeting, and cut off a rebel army with a single order. More than this number, Dawazi Yang used only this little force to smash more than 180 rebels to pieces. These 1000 rebels had to be dragged on the plain by Dawazi Yang

Dawa Yang is not in a hurry, he knows Battelle's troops are nearby, besides, Mu San led more than 1000 infantry to the battlefield, and he is sure to win this battle. All of his men were veterans who seized the opportunity to seize the initiative on the battlefield and suppressed more than 1000 rebels on the plain, allowing the rebels to experience the power of the volley of guns and killed the rebels who charged twice. Jun never dared to show his head again

"Grandma's rabble, this group of trash still want to rebel." Yang Dawazi can't believe that the rebel army is too weak. It should be a weak recruit. How can such a rebel army be an opponent of the Qing army? He has learned how powerful the Chu army is. If he meets the Chu army, even he is no match for him. Rebellion will inevitably lead to a road of no return

There are bursts of bugles in the distance, which way is the army using the Western bugle? Both sides on the battlefield clearly know that the mentality of both sides has changed immediately. Dawazi Yang's more than 100 soldiers all showed joy. Pro morale boosted

The rebel commander Liu Mingqi tore his throat, and his subordinates were willing to charge. The two Ghoshhas next to him exchanged winks and rushed forward. One Ghoshha snatched the weapon from the commander Liu Mingqi, and the other Ghoshha punched Liu Mingqi on the head

The rebellion in Ghoshha is unimaginable. It is the master's dead man who should stand in for the master. But it shows that these members of the Gelaohui deeply resent the murder of Gao Liansheng by their elder brother Lei Heng. They are full of contradictions. Many Gelaohui members are vacillating between loyalty and national righteousness. Uncertain, but at this time, since loyalty is better than national righteousness, since it is well-known and justified, it will immediately fight back under the unfavorable situation of the war.

"Damn tell you to kill me" There are already more than a dozen Goshhas beating Liu Mingqi. At this moment, they all become righteous supporters of the Qing Dynasty. Every punch and every kick is to avenge the lord Gao Liansheng.

More than 1000 rebels suddenly fought back on the battlefield, allowing the two Qing armies to join forces on the battlefield. They should have embraced warmly. At this time, Dawazi Yang was scolding Battelle furiously: "Battelle, are you a shit eater? Why can't you?" Gritting your teeth and persisting for a while, you can't beat such a waste, and you still boast that you have three thousand soldiers. Look at how many troops I have."

Battelle has grievances, saying that the facts are in front of him, he let the rebels escape, and if the casualties were heavy, it is justified. The bad is because the idea of ​​preserving strength is serious. This is a taboo of an army. It must not be exposed by others. ah

"Yang Da, you don't understand the situation. I only have 3000 cavalry, and the others are all captured civilians. I don't have 1000 people plus [-] horses. The main force of the rebel army is strong. There are more than ten thousand people. Ziying suffered heavy casualties." Battelle spoke nonsense with his eyes open, and absolutely refused to expose the fact that Li Ziying gave way.

Dawazi Yang was very satisfied with the situation of the battle, but he refused to let go: "Go back and find you to settle the score and encircle Yan'an. You will be fully responsible for the defeat in Yan'an."

Battelle lamented: "Yes, yes, Yang Da, I am not good, I will definitely make amends"

"How did you atone for that shit? Now you know where Lei Heng's main force has fled." Yang Dawazi looked at the dim southern field. The escaped rebel army turned into several troops. Fleeing and chasing wars cost people money and money, and will surely yield little.
