Wanli 1592

Chapter 26 Thunderbolt
After the war, Ma Gui looked at the fifty remodeled Franc locomotive guns with a sigh, stroked one of them and sighed: "Today I know what a firearm is."

Xiao Ruxun said with a smile: "It's just a small change. As long as the firearms produced by Ming Dynasty can increase the efficiency by 470 to [-] percent, I can also use twice as many firearms. General Ma didn't know that. Of the [-] unused guns in the arsenal, only [-] are usable, and the rest are all crudely made. Once fired, there is a risk of explosion, which makes me angry and helpless."

Ma Gui frowned, and then stretched out: "No matter how powerful firearms are, they are still used by humans. I still have a lot of firearms that I use. I gave them all to General Xiao, and asked General Xiao to expand the firearms battalion. In the future, it will be impossible to use them on the battlefield, there are many firearms on the nine sides, but there are very few people who are good at using firearms, and even fewer generals can fight with firearms, General Xiao understands this way, it is really great!"

Xiao Ruxun nodded in agreement.

After a while, Xiao Ruhui and Zhao Hu came together to report the results of the battle. At the same time, they also said something that was a bit difficult to explain-37 civilian women who were captured by the rebels were found in the camp. They were lucky in the battle just now. They survived, but they were insulted by the rebels one by one, and they didn't know what to do.

Ma Gui looked angry, and went to the barracks with Xiao Ruxun to check, saw 37 disheveled women who were greatly frightened, and looked at the surrendering rebels kneeling in front of them, kicked them hard.

"Beasts that are not as good as animals!"

As he said that, he drew out his knife and killed a guy who looked like an officer, scaring the rest of the dozens of rebel captives so much that they dared not speak out.

Xiao Ruhui said: "These should be the women who were taken captive in Ningxia City."

"Wives and daughters in the army, beheaded! General, the last general requests that these beasts that are not as good as pigs and dogs be beheaded!"

Xiao Ruxun asked Ma Gui's permission with a dark face, and Ma Gui waved his hand to agree, Xiao Ruhui immediately brought murderous soldiers and pulled out all the more than 50 surrendered rebels, pressed them to the ground to kill them all, and cut off their heads. Military merit, everyone tacitly, as for these women, Ma Gui really didn't know how to deal with them.

Faced with such a situation, Xiao Ruxun could only say to Wang Hui who was beside him: "Ziheng, you...you arrange some soldiers to get some water for these women to freshen up, find some clean and complete clothes, and then protect them in the army. In the middle, send them back home after suppressing the rebellion... Don't mention that they were insulted by the rebels, if anyone wants to do anything wrong, kill them!

After rectifying for a while, Ma Gui fired his army horse again and launched an attack on the rebel strongholds around Ningxia Town one by one. Then, Fort Lefort, which was very important in the northern periphery of the rebel army, was also breached.

In the city of Ningxia, Qi Bai and Liu Dongyang who stayed behind were already inexplicably terrified.

Originally, the rebels such as Yan Chengen and Xu Chao had been retreating steadily in the face of the attacks of Dong Yikui, Li Yan, and Zhao Wu. Most of the 47th Fort that had been captured had already been lost. The coming Ming army was approaching the town of Ningxia. They were already in a state of desperation, but the last mobile soldier under them was taken by Qi Yun to wipe out Pinglu City. Xiao Ruxun's troops never returned.

A day and a half ago, an astonishing news came, which directly made Qiao Bai and Liu Dongyang stand on the spot blankly, at a loss like a bolt from the blue.

Nearly [-] people from the coalition forces of Xiao Yun and Zhuo Litu were defeated by Xiao Ruxun in Pinglu City. Kui Yun Zhuli Tu died, and most of the army was slaughtered. Few escaped, and most of them ran away. Only a few soldiers from Liu Dongyang's headquarters The horse fled back to report the letter, and Liu Dongyang, who was furious, ordered them all to be pushed out and beheaded!

The defeated soldiers were killed, but the morale of the army was completely unstable. Originally, even if Xiaoyun was killed, Xiaobai would not feel that they had come to a dead end, because the biggest support of Xiaobai was actually Mongolia in the Hetao area outside the Great Wall behind him. Seolu, that is his greatest confidence and reliance, he can call in foreign aid to help the battle at any time, Zhuo Litu and others have already arrived, and several tribes of cavalry are helping Chengen.

As a result, the focused rabbit died!The whole army was wiped out!More than 300 of the [-] cavalry ran away, and they ran all the way west without looking back, as if they were scared out of their wits.

Is Xiao Ruxun a god? !

Xiaobai let out a loud roar, and fainted on his back, leaving Liu Dongyang alone, and simply fainted. From this point of view, these two people really do not have the excellent psychological quality of rebellion. Rebellion is a very useful task. Technical and challenging tasks, if you don't have the spirit of taking adversity as prosperity, you should go home as soon as possible to wash and sleep!
Xiaobai had such a plan. As a result, just as he was about to pack his own things, he fled to the desert immediately when he saw that the situation was not good. However, he got the news that a Ming army from the northeast was attacking the outskirts of Ningxia town. , Hearing the rumble of cannons not far away, the whole city of Ningxia began to shake, and even Liu Dongyang noticed the panic of his subordinates!
It's only been a month since the rebellion!Was beaten to the lair? !
Then an even more shocking news came - the Ming army was not too numerous, but they fought all the way to the north and west of Ningxia town, and defeated more than 2000 rebel garrison troops in a row. Almost all the rebel strongholds in the northwest and north of Ningxia Town were captured and completely occupied by the Ming army. Most of the defenders were killed, and the rest surrendered. Only a few defeated soldiers dared to report back!

Liu Dongyang rolled his eyes, passed out again, and bowed to see——you are not authentic, I just wanted to faint but you fainted first, so how can I still faint? !
So the panic-stricken Baibai bit his tongue fiercely, stimulating his nerves with pain, desperately trying to calm himself down...

After starting the attack, Xiao Ruxun analyzed the situation in Ningxia town, and thought that his troops were not many, and he didn't bring more siege equipment for the forced march. It is unwise to rashly launch an attack on the tall town of Ningxia, and the biggest reliance for the rebels to rebel against the court is nothing more than trapping captives.

As for the part about the captives, the former Tuolu Department that focused on the captives has been completely wiped out. Now we will directly cut off the connection between the town of Ningxia and the captives, and occupy all the fortresses in the entire northern part of Ningxia to isolate foreign invasion. It is the best policy. , It will definitely deter Qi worship, and externally guard captives.

Ma Gui was overjoyed and thought it was good, so he ordered the whole army to launch a surprise attack in the northern part of Ningxia town. With Xiao Ruhui and Xiao general Zhao Hu as the front army, they won many battles. , made the enemy army confused, and then the army concealed and killed them. They were full of murderous spirit and awe-inspiring fighting spirit. They broke through fifteen strongholds of the rebels in one day, completely occupied the northern fortress controlled by the rebels, and completely cut off the connection between the rebels and the captives. , and rescued more than [-] captive men and women. The tiger watched the town of Ningxia, and the rebels were terrified.

Xiao Ruxun sent someone to report the current battle situation to Wei Xuezeng on the 23rd, and asked Wei Xuezeng to come to help as soon as possible.

On March 20, 24th year of Wanli, the Sentinels reported that the rebels had withdrawn the remaining strongholds outside the east city and west city. Bai has nothing to do, and plans to defend Ningxia City to the death.

On the 25th, a cavalry team of more than 100 people left the city at dawn to launch a surprise attack on Magui's army camp, but was trapped by Xiao Ruxun, who had been prepared for a long time, with a trap formation. Suppressed by bow and crossbow volleys, the rebel cavalry suffered heavy losses. Only more than [-] people fled back to the city in a hurry. The meat was cut up as military rations, and the sergeants had another three meals of horse meat, which boosted their morale.

On the evening of the 25th, Wei Xuezeng, who inexplicably discovered that the rebels had begun to shrink their troops and retreated, received the battle report from Ma Gui and Xiao Ruxun, and was overjoyed.
