Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 418
At this time on the top of the city, Ji Dong had already put the binoculars in his eyes.

The battlefield is about ten miles away from him, and the weather is good. Standing on the high city head, you can see it with the naked eye. However, in order to see more clearly and keep abreast of the battlefield situation, Lin Yi ordered his subordinates to bring such a high-tech stuff.

The two armies faced each other, with 4 horses on both sides, and they couldn't see the side at a glance. The armor was thick, and the swords and guns were like forests. Under the sun, they caught people's eyes.

Zuo Liangyu has been in the field for a long time and has rich experience. He knew that today would be a tough battle, so he arranged 2 horses into three square formations: the left army, the middle army and the right army. The left army leader Ma Shixiu, the right army leader Huang Shu, These two square formations each have 5000 troops, and the central army has 1 horses. The main general is of course Zuo Liangyu.

In order to strike first, Zuo Liangzhu first ordered Ma Shixiu, the deputy general, to charge into battle. Ma Shixiu was one of Zuo Liangyu's confidantes and favorite generals. After he got the order, Ma Shixiu held a big iron knife and led the 5000 troops of the left army to fight towards the enemy on the opposite side. .These 5000 troops are all cavalry, which is Zuo Liangyu's elite.

At this time, there are two main generals of the enemy army on the opposite side, one is Wang Dingguo, who is under Sun Kewang, and the other is Mu Tianbo's faction, the chieftain general of Yunnan, Long Zaitian. Initiated a charge, and Long Zaitian led his troops to fight first.

The ten thousand chieftains from Yunnan saw the menacing approach of the Ming army, so they came here to wait for work. Long Zaitian ordered three thousand archers to get ready. The arrows were aimed at the Ming army rushing towards them like a tide.Seeing that the Ming army was within range, the Tusi army ordered ten thousand arrows to be fired. Arrows flowed in the sky like rain, covering the sky and the sun, and attacked the Ming army.

The Ming army rushing forward hurriedly galloped forward while waving their knives and guns to avoid arrows. However, bows and arrows in the cold soldier era were too powerful, pervasive, and hard to guard against. The man and the horse were shot into hedgehogs.

But this Ming army is also quite brave, because this is a team brought out by Zuo Liangyu. It fought against the Tartars outside the pass, and later fought against the bandits many times. From the names of these two people, it is clear that this team is not a bear bag, but the Ming army, or more precisely, the elite division of the old Ming army.

In terms of record, they had defeated the men of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and they were already used to this kind of charge against the rain of arrows.Not to mention all the arrows fired, even if the opponent bombarded them with red cannons, they couldn't stop their charge.

Therefore, a group of Ming troops in front fell down, and those behind rushed up, and another group fell down, and then rushed up again. While the casualties of the Ming army increased, the distance between the two sides rapidly narrowed, and soon the opponent's archers were too close. Lost the effect.

When Long Zaitian saw it, he quickly ordered the archers to retreat, and the other soldiers would charge forward, and the two sides were fighting in the blink of an eye.The [-] Ming army against the [-] Yunnan chieftain army is of course an approximate number. Soldiers faced soldiers, generals faced generals, and a life-and-death melee hand-to-hand combat began.For a while, it was hard to tell the difference between the two sides.

After about half a stick of incense, Zuo Liangyu ordered the right army to attack.The leader of the right army, Huang Shu, slapped his horse and wielded his sword, and led five thousand generals to rush over. The 1 horses of the left army and the right army were like two rough waves, hitting the enemy on the opposite side.

Long Zaitian's 5000 chieftain army couldn't support it anymore. If they dealt with Ma Shixiu's 5000 men alone, they could still support them. Huang Shu's [-] men rushed forward and smashed Long Zaitian's men and horses like wind and clouds. Dead bodies littered the field.

Wang Dingguo at the back didn't see it well, so he immediately waved his big knife and brought 1 people to help the battle. These 1 people are different from the chieftain army in Yunnan. These chieftain troops in Yunnan are actually the local army of the Ming Dynasty or It's regiment training and armed forces, and it's also considered the old Ming army.But Wang Dingguo's 1 men were all from bandits, and they were once the Daxi regular army trained by Zhang Xianzhong. They were one of Sun Kewang's main forces and were used to fighting.

Zuo Liangyu was staring at this team, and at this time also broke the horses, led the main force of the [-] Chinese army to charge into the battle, intercepted Wang Dingguo's men and horses and began to fight.

At this time, all 4 horses were bet on, and the sky was dim, and the sun and the moon were dark.

During the scuffle, Long Zaitian was surrounded by Ma Shixiu and Huang Shu, and within a few moments, Long Zaitian, who was in a hurry with the second general, was chopped off by his horse.Then the two will support Zuo Liangyu in the future, Wang Dingguo is also reluctant to support here, Zuo Liangyu is now a few years old, otherwise Wang Dingguo is definitely not an opponent.

As soon as Ma Shixiu and Huang Shu came up, Wang Dingguo was at a loss, and under the protection of the guards, he pulled his horse and ran away.

Zuo Liangyu freed his hand, hung up the knife, and took out the bow and arrow behind him. One arrow shot Wang Dingguo under the horse. Wang Dingguo's guards wanted to come to rescue him, but Zuo Liangyu fired several arrows from left and right. The guards were shot down.

At this time, Huang Shu and Ma Shixiu rushed over, killed Wang Dingguo's guards, and cut off Wang Dingguo's head with a single click.

The two main generals died, and the rest of the soldiers fled in all directions like motherless children. Zuo Liangyu led the two generals to combine the left army's middle army and the right army soldiers, and continued to chase and kill the enemy.

Lin Yi could see this scene clearly from the top of the city, and he couldn't help laughing, "General Zuo is really brave, he is always strong, he deserves his reputation, he fought well!"

Zuo Menggeng, who was beside him, was also very proud when he heard this, and said in his heart, of course, who is my father?That is the all-powerful Ning Nanbo who was sealed by the Emperor Chongzhen himself. He once hacked Zhang Xianzhong to the point of bleeding, and chased Li Zicheng to the sky. opponent?

But soon the situation on the battlefield changed. Zuo Liangyu won the first battle, and Sun Kewang, who was only two or three miles away from them, and their 13 army were just watching the excitement.

Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo were immediately on the high slope. When these people saw it, they were greatly surprised. They didn't expect that Wang Dingguo and Long Zaitian would lose the battle so quickly, and the [-] army would return home in defeat within a stick of incense. , both Wang Dingguo and Long Zaitian are brave men, especially Wang Dingguo, who was the former general of Zhang Xianzhong who established Daxi.

The so-called former army is that after Zhang Xianzhong established the country, he imitated the lighting system in the military and set up the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. important position, but these two generals are now both dead.

Sun Kewang was furious and wanted to lead a large group of people to kill him personally. Ainengqi stopped him and volunteered. Sun Kewang suppressed his anger and sent troops. He planned to lure Lin Yi's elite out. Jade.

This time, 2 troops were dispatched, led by two generals, one was Ai Nengqi, King of Dingbei in Daxi, and the other was Sha Dingzhou, a famous chieftain.The [-] troops are mainly from Ai Nengqi's old troops. When Daxi was established, Ai Nengqi supervised [-] battalions for General Dingbei, and the army directly under his subordinates exceeded [-]. Although the scenery is not there now, there are still [-] troops People and horses.

The other [-] were the chieftain army in Shadingzhou, and the second general plus a [-] army came over like a mountain.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu led the army to continue the pursuit, because although the first battle was successful, the elephant army had not yet dispatched, which showed that the lure of the enemy was unsuccessful. Of course, they could not retreat and had to continue fighting.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought together again.

This time, Zuo Liangyu's men fought hard, one was that they were exhausted after charging for a while, and the other was that they were outnumbered.It was [-] against [-] just now, if that counts as the first match, now the second match is [-] against [-].

Moreover, the 3 troops of Ai Nengqi and Sha Dingzhou are freshmen who have just entered the battle, and these two generals are much stronger than Wang Dingguo and Longtian.

Therefore, as soon as the 3 horses rushed up, the Ming army immediately suffered heavy casualties.

But Zuo Liangyu has risked his life, and he can't do it now. He knows that Lin Yi is watching the battle for him at the top of the city. He failed to lure the enemy. Once the adults turned their backs, their father and son had to move their heads, so he took Ma Shixiu and Huang Shu to fight hard, and the Ming army saw that the main generals were like this, and they all got out.

The battle went on quite fiercely.

On the top of the city, Lin Yi frowned when he saw it. Damn it, Sun Kewang is really cunning. If he doesn't see a rabbit, he won't let the eagle go. See what this means. manpower!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately ordered the generals Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi to take [-] soldiers out of the city to support Zuo Liangyu, and told the two generals that they were not allowed to retreat if they did not see the Xiang army attacking from the other side. The messier the better.

The second general took the order, at this time Zuo Menggeng was already out of control, fighting his own brothers, father and son soldiers, seeing his father fighting outside the city, so Zuo Menggeng bravely invited Ying to fight, to help his father.

He was originally taken as a hostage because he was afraid that Zuo Liangyu would change his mind midway and defect to the enemy to judge the country. Now Lin Yi saw that there was no need to keep this hostage, so Lin Yi agreed on the spot to let Zuo Menggeng follow Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi Let's fight together.

Zuo Menggeng thanked Lin Yi, and the three generals ordered all the soldiers and horses. These 5000 soldiers were all new soldiers brought by Lin Yi. Although they were not standard battalions or invincible battalions, they were well-equipped, all of which were all new-style muskets. In addition to firearms, they are also equipped with knives, spears, or bows and arrows according to their own specialties, which means that they are all dual weapons.

The gate of the city was wide open, the suspension bridge was lowered, and the three generals rushed out of the city with [-] soldiers and horses.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu's men could no longer stand it anymore. In the melee, Zuo Liangyu encountered Ainengqi. The pair of sledgehammers swung a huge force. How could Zuo Liangyu, who was already sweating and panting, It was his opponent, and with one blow, the big knife flew away.Zuo Liangyu pulled his horse and ran away, Ai Nengqi broke his horse and chased after him. Lieutenant Huang Shu and Ma Shixiu rushed to stop Ai Nengqi and started fighting.

Zuo Liangyu was able to escape.But if these two generals work together to fight Ai Nengqi, they can last for a while, but at this time Sha Dingzhou came up to help Ai Nengqi and defeated Ma Shixiu, leaving only Huang Shu, whose martial arts are not as good as Zuo Liangyu, Because he was slapped by Ainengqi's hammer in less than three strokes, his brains were cracked, and the lieutenant Ma Shixiu was no match for Sha Dingzhou.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu took out the bow and arrow after getting away, but this time he found that the bow weighed a thousand, and his arms seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't pull them apart at all.Ai Nengqi and Sha Dingzhou rushed over with their troops, and the Ming army was killed and wounded everywhere, and they all retreated.

Zuo Liangyu saw that it was broken, and he was going to fail in luring the enemy today.

At this moment, countless gunshots rang out, and with the gunshots, the rebels or bandits fell one after another.

Zuo Liangyu looked back, and saw a Ming army rushing in, all cavalry, all with muskets, firing while charging forward, he even saw the figure of his son Zuo Menggeng, and immediately knew that this was Lin Yi sent reinforcements, and a warm feeling rose in his heart: It seems that it is right for him to surrender. Lin Yi, the supervisor of the country, is not a righteous person. He did not intend to let them be cannon fodder as Gao Jie and the others said. And to protect one's direct descendants is a hundred times better than Chongzhen's court, so they really shouldn't follow Gao Jie and the others into troubled waters.

How could Ai Nengqi's troops resist this round of gunfire, there were countless casualties, and the horses fell off one after another, and the rest scattered and fled in all directions.

At this time, the rescued Ming Dynasty arrived, and Ai Nengqi and Sha Dingzhou still wanted to fight to save the situation. At this time, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and Zuo Menggeng came to a three-on-two fight. Liu Fangliang and Zuo Menggeng fought against Ai Nengqi, Yuan Zongdi fought against Sha Dingzhou. Although Sha Dingzhou was fierce, he couldn't hold back Yuan Zongdi's double whips. Sha Dingzhou fell down.Sha Dingzhou was so frightened that he twisted his body desperately, and hit his back with a click.

Sha Dingzhou let out a scream, threw the knife and ran away. Before running a few steps, a mouthful of blood spewed out, but he still didn't fall off the horse. He held on to the iron beam with both hands, and fled for his life with his body on the horse's back in a daze. .

Yuan Zongdi didn't chase him either, he came over to deal with Ai Nengqi, three hits one, Ai Nengqi couldn't take it anymore, he couldn't care less, and the number of generals around him became less and less, Ai Nengqi pulled his horse and was defeated.

Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and Zuo Menggeng chased after them with their soldiers and horses. At this time, Zuo Liangyu was still recovering, and he and the wounded Ma Shixiu rectified the soldiers and horses together with Liu Fangliang's men and horses, and continued to chase and wipe out the remnants of the enemy.

Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo saw that they had lost two games in a row, and the 11 army was defeated. Once again, their blood surged, and they were about to put all the [-] troops on board and charge in person.

At this time, Yan Ximing, the military adviser, spoke up, "Wait a minute, general and prince, Lin Yi's elite has already attacked, so when will the Xiang army not move at this time?"

"Okay, Mr. Yi." Only then did Sun Kewang feel that he had almost lost his position. At this time, the elephant army attacked, and the Ming army would be defeated. If the elephant army opened the way, they followed suit, and the battle would be successful.Thinking of this, he immediately ordered Wen Ke to lead the elephant army to dispatch.

Wen Ke couldn't wait a long time ago. After receiving the order, he called out this special force from the rear of 11 soldiers and horses. When it came over, it was overwhelming...
