Chapter 545 Decisive Battle (2)

No wonder Chen Qiyu was so frightened. He was just a bandit in front of him. All he needed to do was suppress the thieves' momentum with a few words, and it would not be too late for a decisive battle.

I never thought that Zhang Shun's ability to talk nonsense was unparalleled in the world. How could Chen Qiyu be his opponent? He was defeated on the spot. Not only did it not dampen Zhang Shun's "arrogance", but the officers and soldiers were shaken.

When Chen Qiyu saw that the situation was not good, he had to order Yang Hualin to lead the cavalry to call for formation.

Yang Hualin came to the front of the formation and shouted loudly: "I am the deputy commander-in-chief Yang Hualin. Surrender quickly if you know how to do it, otherwise you will be trampled by the fine cavalry and you will die without a complete body!"

As soon as Yang Hualin finished speaking, he did not expect that a female general came to the front of the battle, and said with a sweet smile: "Who am I? It turns out that the general without eggs led the pure army to fight! Have you obtained the position of chief internal officer? "

Yang Hualin couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard this. It turned out that the person in front of him was Ma Yingniang. There is no other way, my words are not as good as others, so I have to see the real seal on my fists. Yang Hualin gave the order and led more than a thousand cavalry under his command to raid the formation.

Zhang Shun waved his hand, and his subordinates He Jin and He Yilong led five hundred cavalry respectively, one on the left and one on the right, from behind the formation, staring at Yang Hualin's troops with eager eyes. When Yang Hualin saw it, his scalp suddenly became numb and he did not dare to step forward.

It turns out that when the cavalry is fighting, the most taboo thing is to be grabbed by the tail and charged to death. If Yang Hualin dared to ignore the rebel cavalry and charge into the formation with iron head.

When the officers, soldiers, cavalry and the rebels met, the rebel cavalry rushed up from behind, and the officers, soldiers, and cavalry would probably have to give an account here on the spot.

Although Yang Hualin is only a mediocre general, he still understands the general tactical details. With no other choice, Yang Hualin had no choice but to divide his men into two groups and entangle them with He Jin and He Yilong respectively.

Seeing that the two sides were once again at a deadlock, Chen Qiyu decided to send He Renlong to fight again, so that the rebels could not care about each other.

But the art of war says: Yu Qi seizes the opportunity. Only by making good use of the extra reserves on hand can we seize the fighter opportunity.

If Chen Qiyu easily releases the surprise troops in his hand, once the two sides are in a stalemate and a fighter opportunity emerges, he himself will no longer be able to bring out a surprise soldier. Wouldn't it be unfair at that time?

After thinking about it, Chen Qiyu had no choice but to keep quiet and watch the changes.

Zhang Shun saw that Chen Qiyu was using his troops in a satisfactory manner, and he had some calculations in his mind. So, he took the initiative and ordered: "Send the order to Jiang He, let him go out with the sword and shield hand to test the enemy's level!"

Wang Yidao, who was beside Zhang Shun, heard this and quickly called for battle: "General, we are all worthy of death. Fortunately, the general saved us. Now that the two armies are fighting, we can't wait. I also ask the general to give me a military order. Wang I will definitely retaliate with death!"

Zhang Shun raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said with murderous intent: "There is only discipline in the army, how can you make a loud noise? You don't know the military law and it is your first offender. I will spare you this. If there is a next time, I will not spare you!"

Wang Yidao was originally a butcher at a butcher shop outside the city. He had been killing pigs and sheep for many years, and had developed good knife skills.

Just because he kills pigs and slaughters sheep with one knife, cuts meat and breaks bones with the same weight, he got the nickname "One Knife". As time went by, he even forgot his real name.

Although this guy's family is not rich, he has always had offal and offal to eat, but he has grown fat and strong, and has a lot of strength.

Originally, Zhang Shun planned to stay with him to train him and then release him as a general. It was just that this man was eager for revenge and Zhang Shun couldn't defeat him, so he allowed him to select two hundred strong men from the refugees who had escaped with their lives, wear armor and hold weapons, and the power was better than nothing.

Wang Yidao was frightened by Zhang Shunyi, so he became submissive. Zhang Shun then comforted him in a low voice: "I know you are eager for revenge, and your heart is commendable. However, the art of war is constant, and I have my own considerations in my heart. How can I throw away your lives?"

Wang Yidao was convinced after hearing this and wanted to bow down. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun pulled him with one hand, and held Wu Xian beside him with the other hand, and said with a smile: "Follow me and stand on a high place to see the gains and losses of others' use of troops!"

Ma Yingniang had already returned from the battle, and she was impressed when she saw that Zhang Shun kept Wang Yidao and others in check after beating him again and again.

However, she was afraid that Wukong would not be able to take care of her alone, and she was afraid that Zhang Shun would make a mistake. She quickly got off her horse, followed a few steps closer, and followed.

When everyone stood up and took a look, they saw a group of people slowly advancing towards the officers and soldiers. A yellow flag was erected among this group of people, with a pair of black swords and shields painted on it. It was Jiang He's five hundred swordsman and shieldman.

When the sword and shield hand reached two or three hundred steps, the officers and soldiers suddenly fired their artillery, and bursts of smoke filled the front of the officers and soldiers' formation.

Jiang He's swordsmen and shieldmen suddenly fell to the ground, and no one was standing. Ma Yingniang's heart tightened and she thought: That's bad. I didn't expect that Jiang He was so inexperienced that his entire army was wiped out with just one round of artillery.

It's just that Zhang Shun's military law is very strict. Not to mention other people, even Ma Yingniang doesn't dare to violate it easily. Everyone was nervous and did not dare to say a word to disturb the morale of the army.

As a result, Jiang He and others slowly got up from the ground without expecting to wait until the sound of the gunfire passed. They touched it again while the smoke was still lingering.

Ma Yingniang had a good eye and counted carefully. There were only four or five corpses left on the ground, and the rebels had almost no major damage.

When the smoke cleared, the officers and soldiers were shocked to see that the rebels had groped for more than a hundred steps. Standing on the ground, they couldn't see clearly how much damage the rebels had suffered, so they quickly lit up the Second General's cannon, Franchise machine and other firearms.

Jiang He's sword and shield soldiers followed suit and fell to the ground again, avoiding the firepower of the officers and soldiers.

When the smoke cleared again, the rebels actually came within forty or fifty steps of the officers and soldiers. Now in front of him, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Guozhen couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Chariot Camp, few enemies have been able to resist the collapse of their troops under multiple attacks from artillery and firecrackers.

The only ones who can truly withstand the baptism of artillery and fire without fleeing are the Tatars and the Northerners. Both of them are serious problems for the Ming Dynasty. How can they compare with thieves in front of them?

Not caring much, Liu Guozhen ordered the cannons and artillery to fire as much as he wanted, while also ordering the "killer team" to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

Jiang He could now clearly see the slightly panicked faces of the soldiers on the opposite side, not to mention the quick rifles, bird blunderbuss, three-eyed blunderbuss, flannel guns and other firearms lit by the quasi-rebels on the opposite side.

Jiang He gave the order and quickly threw himself to the ground again. His own weight and heavy armor made him almost breathless after falling. However, he still gritted his teeth and raised the shield in front of him, covering his head.

The deafening and dense sound of firecrackers sounded again, but this time the sound was much smaller than the previous two times, but the intensity was even better than before.

Suddenly, the shield in Jiang He's hand shook, and he couldn't help but feel something in his heart: It's broken, it was hit.

After just feeling it for a moment, he felt no discomfort at all, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The wooden plaques originally used by the rebels were heavy and unable to withstand bullets. It wasn't until the rebels wiped out the Beijing camp a few days ago that they seized many "straw hat" shields.

The rebels shot it with muskets and found that the object could withstand most less powerful muskets.

Zhang Shunsi, considering the previous experience of the rebel quilts resisting fire cannons, simply ordered people to remove the partially damaged cotton armor and wrap it on the shield. Sure enough, this thing is "invulnerable" and can charge into battle.

When the rebels saw the officers and soldiers firing their muskets and artillery, they couldn't help but get excited. They jumped up one after another, shouted "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" and rushed towards the formation of officers and soldiers.
