Thunder III
Thunder (3)
The news of the "rebellion" of the Jianchang army spread to Dachun as quickly as possible. After receiving the information sent by the scout, the marshal of the Ping Song Dynasty, who was known for his calmness, jumped up from the handsome chair in a "soaring" manner, and then felt dizzy, and his hands were supported twice on the table, but finally he could not support it, and he fell back into the chair again.
The new annexed army under Wu Zhong's command was nothing more than a bunch of rubbish, and if it was in normal times, Da Chun and his generals would not have taken these wastes for the Great Yuan Dynasty in their eyes. Compared with generals such as Fan Wenhu and Lu Shikui, Wuzhong, Han Wenhai and other local military managers were even more incomparable, and Kublai Khan never paid their troops a salary, nor did he change any ordnance for their subordinates. Da Chun, Zhang Hongfan, and Fan would not take them with them during the southern expedition, lest such troops drag down the combat effectiveness of the whole army.
But now is the critical moment for the two armies to face each other, just like two samurai going head-to-head, even if it is a leaf, it is enough to kill one of them, not to mention that such a large pile of "waste" as the Jianchang Army suddenly changed its position. Now, the areas of Nan'an and Yongxin have fallen into the hands of other parts of the Broken Army, and the road of the Yuan Army to Lianghu has been cut off. In case the war is unfavorable, the Dayuan soldiers and horses can only withdraw to the north. And Wuzhong's 10,000 soldiers and horses, like daggers at this moment, are stabbed on the way to retreat.
"Where did you get the news, you went out together, why are you the only one coming back?" After being dizzy for a while, Da Chun came to his senses, and asked with a blue face.
The scout who reported the news froze for a moment, and then was enveloped from head to toe with an infinite chill. Not daring to look at Da Chun's knife-like gaze, he opened his eyes sideways and replied loudly: "Back to Dashuai, the news is that the Broken Army Rangers shot into the camp in the early morning. The subordinates came to report with a copy, and several other brothers went around to collect the arrow book, and said that General Tu must stop the news from spreading! ”
"Go down and call the other scouts back. Now that the news has gotten out, it's useless to chase it! Dachun waved his hand and motioned for the scout to leave. In an instant, he seemed to have been stabbed in the chest, his face was pale and gray, and he looked indescribably desolate.
"Yes, Dashuai!" The scout, who had just walked through the ghost gate, said yes and walked backwards outside. Dachun's subordinates and generals looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with this sudden blow for a while.
If it is the information obtained by the scouts themselves, Dachun can also block the news of the "rebellion" of the Jianchang army by killing people and destroying mouths, so as to stabilize the morale of the army. But since the news was shot into the camp by the rangers of the Broken Army, there was more than one copy circulating in the barracks, and even if Da Chun wanted to block it, it was too late.
"Marshal, let's fight!" Tens of thousands of households Nerha stepped forward and said loudly.
"Dashuai, we can't wait any longer!" Tens of thousands of households responded to Solihan.
Da Chun's gaze swept over the resolute faces of the generals, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. The few people in front of him are all brothers who have been fighting with him for more than ten years, they breathe with each other, and they don't need too many words to know what the other party wants to express.
In the past half a month, more than 30,000 broken troops have been like a huge rock, pressing on the heads of the 140,000 yuan army. In terms of numbers, the Yuan army had an absolute advantage. In terms of quality, the Mongol iron cavalry was no worse than the soldiers of the Broken Army. The problem is that there are too few Mongolian horsemen in the team, accounting for less than a third. The remaining nearly 100,000 people, except for the 20,000 Tanma Red Army, are all newly attached troops.
If there is no worry about the back road, Da Chun can also rely on these horses and horses to deal with Zou Xun for a period of time, and hold on until Boyan's army arrives. Anyway, the Yuan army has a lot of soldiers, many horses, and fast moving speed, for such a large team, the broken army has no effective tactics except for giving full play to the advantages of artillery and gradually pressing. But now it's not going to work, Wu Zhong's reversal will affect the whole body. Fuzhou, Linjiang, Yuanzhou, Yunzhou, several places are guarded by the broken army, and if there is a management army of ten thousand households colluding with Wuzhong, the soldiers and horses of the Great Yuan will fall into a heavy siege.
At that time, even if it is not trapped to death by the army of breakers and rebels, the army will collapse. Those new annexes were originally suspicious, and with them, the effect of deterring the enemy was greater than the effect of battle. In the past half a month, under the separate treatment of the Broken Army, rumors of the fluctuation of military morale have reached Dachun's ears. If they know that the road is about to be broken, there may be some kind of chaos.
"Let's fight, pass on my orders, beat the drums, raise the account, and gather all the generals of more than 1,000 households to the Chinese army!" Da Chun sighed and shouted loudly.
The rumbling war drums sounded, and when the drums were heard, the sturdy figures ran into the Chinese military tent one after another. "These are all my Mongolian heroes, today, Ben Shuai is going to take them to death!" Da Chun looked at the faces of Zhang Zhongyong who sat down and thought sadly.
Is there a chance of victory with a tired soldier leading a suspicious crowd?
If there was a fifty percent certainty of victory, Da Chun would have fought a decisive battle with Zou Wei a long time ago, so why wait until today? The broken army on the opposite side was not sharp and did not move quickly, but it was a rock and an iron bucket when defended. The only way to defeat them now is to trick them into attacking and tricking them into dividing their forces. But right now, time is on Zou Xun's side.
The Mongol army was well-trained, and soon, all the generals of the rank of more than 1,000 households arrived. The large camp of the Tanma Red Army was on the south side of the Chinese army, a little farther away, and when half a pillar of incense was less than half a pillar, Yuan Jizu also arrived with more than a dozen generals under his command. However, the new annex army, which had the largest number of soldiers and generals, did not come for a long time, and Da Chun ordered the people to beat the drum twice, but there was still no response.
"Someone!" Da Chun had a hint of foreboding in his heart and shouted loudly. As if he had a heart in his heart, as soon as his words fell, someone flew to report that the new army had bombed the camp.
"What!" All the generals jumped up. Bombing the camp is the most taboo thing to do on the march and fighting, once the soldiers bomb the camp, it often takes the commander-in-chief to spend a lot of energy to restore order, and after the order is restored, the army will not have the slightest combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
"Marshal, the new annexed army bombs the camp. Li Zhen rebelled with his cronies! An abominable voice was repeated at the mouth of the military tent. Everyone looked down and saw a "reptile" covered in dirt rolling over on the ground at some point, crying out with snot and tears at the door.
"Help Mr. Jiao up!" Da Chun's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to recognize the identity of the person who reported the letter on the ground, and commanded softly.
"Marshal, Li Zhen, who is in charge of the army, rebelled with his cronies, General Huang Zhiming went to stop it, and was shot and killed by Li Zhen. Now, several new annexed armies in the camp that are not subordinate to each other are fighting each other, and the entire camp is in chaos! Jiao Youzhi was filthy, but his mind was very clear, and while standing up straight, he concisely summarized the details of the new annexed army. (Please support genuine to 17k, support alcoholics)
"Why didn't you shoot you disgusting guy!" Tanma Chijun Wan Hu Yuan Jizu scolded in his heart. Although Li Zhen is no longer in the same camp as him, from the perspective of personality, he respects a "traitor" like Li Zhen more than a "friend" like Jiao Youzhi.
"Solihan, you quickly lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to guard against the enemy taking the opportunity to attack. Nelha, transfer a team of 10,000 people to go with Ben Shuai! The others, go back to the camp to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and wait for the commander to order" Da Chun immediately made a decision and ordered loudly.
The generals said yes and ran away. Dachun straddled his horse and rushed with 10,000 Mongol soldiers to several camps where the new annexed army had gathered.
In the camp of the new annexed army, the soldiers were in a mess. The rebel general Li Zhen was obviously prepared, and took more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to set a few fires in the camp, and then turned around and rushed to the defense line of the captive army. The soldiers and horses on the side of the Broken Army were also ready, and when they saw Li Zhen's banner, they immediately let go of a road and let the brothers of the uprising in.
Several other new annexed armies did not have the order of General Dachun, so they did not dare to chase them, and they had no intention of chasing, so they had to watch Li Zhen escape. There were also a few subordinates who didn't know who, crying and going home, scattered and fled into the wilderness. And most of the soldiers didn't understand what was going on outside, who was the enemy and who was the friend, and when they were armed with weapons, they would slash at someone near their tent.
Dachun ran outside the camp with iron horses, captured a few deserters, and quickly figured out the specific situation. To deal with the bombing camp, he has the most effective way. After calling Nerha, Dachun ordered loudly: "Send dozens of Chinese-speaking men to rush in and let the soldiers return to their tents." After half a pillar of incense, there are people standing outside the tent, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”
"Return to the account, return to the account, stand outside the account and do not listen to the order, there is no forgiveness!"
Two small groups of Mongol cavalry rushed into the crowd and loudly conveyed Dachun's order as they waved their swords and chopped down the new annexed soldiers who had no time to give way.
In the eyes of the Mongol cavalry, the captives were nothing more than meat shields and slaves for transporting heavy loads in battle, and their lives were not worth cherishing at all. The horse's hooves quickly made two bloody paths through the crowd, spreading orders to every corner. Some deliberate troublemakers lost their lives, loyal to Dayuan, and tried to rectify the soldiers and horses, and many of them became ghosts under the knife in the chaos.
Some of the soldiers were so angry that they threw away their uniforms and fled the barracks. In this regard, Da Chun has already made arrangements. Those who have fled far away are not to be chased. At this moment, he remembered to escape, and Dachun ordered that no one should be let go.
Two Mongol thousand-strong troops, holding bows, ran back and forth on the outskirts of the camp. If you see someone approaching the fence, shoot them immediately. After the killing, those who moved slowly and refused to return to the account were also shot to the ground.
The blood mixed the floating soil on the ground into mud, and the new annex army, who was bullied and scared by the Mongols on weekdays, saw that Dachun was so ruthless, and his mind slowly regained his senses. Most of them laid down their weapons and obediently hid in their tents. A few people were dissatisfied with Dachun's indiscriminate killing of innocents, and drew their swords to find iron horses desperately, but because there was no organizer, they were suppressed separately.
After about an hour of chaos, Dachun finally stabilized the army. Just as he was about to summon the surviving generals of the new annex army to give a lecture, suddenly, a violent explosion came from behind him.
"Shelling!" Da Chun instinctively turned his head and looked in the direction where the explosion had come from. I saw more than a dozen pitch-black projectiles skimming the sky, dragging a long tail of smoke and falling into the Mongolian military camp.
"Damn it!" Da Chun suddenly realized that he had been fooled. For half a month, his Mongolian army camp has been hit by cold artillery from the broken army, and the soldiers' reaction to the shells has gradually changed from panic to numbness.
"Not every shell can explode, and even if it does, as long as you don't stand within ten steps of the shell's landing site, you can keep yourself safe." This is the experience of the Mongol soldiers with blood. The veterans who had worked hard had also discovered that the shells were not flying as fast as they thought, and that with their sizzling in the air and the smoke tail behind them, the bombers had more than half the chance of being able to determine where they landed.
But these experiences are all against sporadic cold artillery, and such a concentrated bombardment only means one thing in the eyes of the commander of the army, Da Chun, that is, the Broken Army took the lead in attacking. And at this critical moment, Da Chun, as the commander, is not in his own position.
"Fight, fight, Nelha, leave you a thousand-man team, and put the new annex into battle as soon as possible. Others, go back to camp with Ben Shuai! Da Chun shouted hoarsely, and immediately rushed towards the Chinese army with the Mongolian cavalry. For half a month, Zou Wei harassed the Mongol army, so Da Chun was sure that today's attack by the Broken Army would also start with the Chinese army.
Solihan immediately ordered the generals of the new annex army to reorganize the ranks, and several of the generals of the new annex army were frozen, just after experiencing a great chaos, everyone even lost how many soldiers and horses under their men, whether the low-ranking officers were still alive or not, and how to sort out the soldiers and horses in a hurry.
Ignoring the difficulties of the new generals, Solihan struck him with a whip on his head and face. Some of the new annexed generals were clever and hurriedly agreed to run to the camp. Some of the generals of the new annex army did not open their minds, and argued with Solihan: "General, the general is angry. In this hurry, how can the troops be gathered. Even if they are gathered, who will have the heart to fight! ”
"I don't care, go and assemble quickly, otherwise, we will all die today!" Solihan shouted frantically. He hated, hated that these new annexed generals had no brains, and they couldn't see the danger in front of them.
Under the persecution of the sword of the leather whip, the thousands and thousands of households of the newly attached army ran back to the camp to sort out the people of the headquarters. How could a soldier who had just recovered from the chaos go into battle, wailing and crying one by one, not knowing what to do.
Half a pillar of incense time passed, and only a few small groups of remnants gathered in the wide area of the camp. Some soldiers were armed with swords, while others looked around, trying to pick a weapon to arm themselves.
The wind blowing from the east carried the sound of the shelling along with the smoke of gunpowder, which in the eyes of the soldiers of the new annex was the smell and sound of hell. The queue was slower, and some even sneaked out of the ranks and into nearby tents.
The smoke of gunpowder filled the field, and Solihan could already hear the shouts of killing coming from the direction of the Chinese army. The sound of artillery bombardment from the Broken Army became more and more intense, and long-range heavy artillery, close-range light artillery, pack cannons, and grenades thrown from improvised catapults blew up clouds of black fog on the battlefield.
"Move fast, hurry! You stabbed guys! Solihan scolded in Chinese. The thickening smoke made him uneasy. Today, the Breakers don't know what strange weapons they used, and the smoke caused was so thick that it was as if the nearby mountains and rivers had been on fire. The mountain wind swept black smoke in all directions, completely blocking the light between the armies. (Please support genuine to 17k, support alcoholics)
"It's mugwort, ahem, withered grass, ahem, and, and horses, ahem, horse manure! General, beware of enemy tricks! Someone coughed frantically, alerting in Solihan's ear.
Suolihan turned around in surprise and saw Jiao Youzhi coming through the smoke without knowing when. Half of the goatee was burned, and the rest, charred and curled up on the chin.
"Where's the big marshal, how is the Chinese army over there!" Suolihan grabbed Jiao Youzhi's neck and asked.
"Dashuai, ahem, Dashuai asked me to help you organize the army, the broken army is just artillery, tentative attack!" Jiao Youzhi was so smoked that tears flowed down his eyes, and he replied while coughing.
"The whole army, and the whole fart!" Solihan pointed at the barracks with a leather whip and scolded bitterly, it had been half an hour, and a complete team of 10,000 people had not yet been pulled out. Such a team fights with people, and even a group of bandits can easily defeat them.
Suddenly, Solihan sensed a hint of danger. He heard shouts of murder behind the smoke and felt the vibrations coming from under his feet. The bombing of the camp, the smoke, the temptation, several things are connected, and they all point to the same consequence.
"Ahh Solihan let out a wolf cry and raised his scimitar high. He didn't ask his subordinates to urge the new annex army to gather, and now, the most urgent thing he needed to do was to protect himself.
The Mongol cavalry, scattered throughout the camp, quickly turned around and moved closer to General Solihan. The experience of the battle had come, and Solihan's desperate scream, everyone knew what it meant.
Just as they were about to rush in front of Solihan, they saw a battle flag emerge from the smoke. It was the Breaker Army, sneaking through the smoke and stabbing a fatal blow.
For a moment, everyone felt a biting cold.
"Go!" Wang Laoshi waved his arm and threw out the grenade that had already pulled out the fuse.
Hundreds of grenades flew from mid-air and flew towards the same place.
"Enemy attack!" Jiao Youzhi shouted in despair, his legs desperately knocking the horse's belly, expecting to escape. The poor warhorse, unable to understand what his master meant, threw himself high and kicked forward, letting out a long neigh.
The sound of the horse's roar was instantly drowned out by the explosion of the grenade, and Suolihan, Jiao Youzhi, and dozens of Mongolian cavalry who rushed to the front turned into pieces and flew into the sky.
Wang Laoshi didn't stop, took out another grenade from the cloth bag hanging on his chest, and threw it out again. In the direction he threw it, there were hundreds of grenades.
The Mongol cavalry, which had gathered in a hurry, was completely stunned. With both sides prepared, the cavalry faced the infantry, and they had an absolute advantage. But today, the enemy suddenly rushed out of the smoke, in all directions, I don't know how many.
The new annex in the large battalion blew up again, and received two fatal blows in a row that same morning, far beyond their capacity. The soldiers who had gathered in groups fled in all directions, and the soldiers who were in their tents jumped out, dropped their weapons, and ran north. There were enemy forces in the east, south, and west, and only the north was still the territory of the Great Yuan. After learning the news of the rebellion of the Jianchang army, the soldiers had already figured out the route of escape. The Breakers attacked, just giving them a chance.
"It's a man's, take a knife and kill a tartar!" Wang Laoshi threw out another grenade, drew the broken blade from his back, and strode into the enemy group. More than 100 lightly armored infantry of the Broken Captives Army used him as a blade, and stabbed into the panicked Yuan army like knives. The soldiers on the outside lined up in a triangular formation to engage the enemy, while their companions inside kept throwing grenades outward.
In a hurry, the Mongol army, which had lost the command of its general, could only fight on its own. At such a close distance, it is no longer possible to exert the impact of the war horse. I have the heart to retreat farther, but I can't deal with grenades and crossbow arrows. Soon, the Mongol warrior army was drowned.
A few of the generals of the newly annexed army tried to meet them, but they did not move to call out to the soldiers under their command. The sword skills of the generals of the Broken Army on the opposite side were too ruthless, whether it was a Mongolian warrior or a soldier of the newly attached army who was on the right side of him, he was often cut to the ground by him as soon as he couldn't get along. He would never pursue the soldiers who avoided him. For those who dared to block his steps, he used a combination of knives, short crossbows, and grenades, and did not pay attention to the demeanor of a general at all.
Such a madman, on the contrary, is the most deterrent to the new annexed army. Soon, Wang's team was nowhere to be found. Everywhere he passed, the officers and soldiers of the new annexed army avoided one after another, and they did not dare to fight against him at all.
"Are you men who don't dare to kill Tartars, are you willing to kill your own brothers!" Wang Laoshi slashed the head of a recalcitrant soldier and shouted at the new annex next to him in the blood light.
The soldiers of the new annex looked at him blankly, not daring to resist, and did not know how to refute it. The word man has been away from them for too long, so long that it is unfamiliar in their hearts.
"The Tartars are finished, either go quickly, or go with Lao Tzu to kill the Tartars!" Wang Laoshi shouted again, broke away from his formation, and stretched out his hand to carry a new annex army wearing the color of a hundred households in front of him.
The hundred-man struggled, crying and begging for mercy. The knife in his hand shook back and forth, but he didn't dare to cut at Wang Laoshi.
"Go ahead, you call a man too!" Wang Laoshi let go and threw the hundred households to the ground. The hundred households squatted on the ground, covered their faces with their hands, and howled loudly.
"Brothers, kill the Tartars. The Tartars have harmed so many people, it's rare that you have forgotten them! Li Zhen came out of the smoke. Before he could change the armor of the new annexed army, he just wrapped a piece of white cloth around his arm and painted a Song character with black ink. Behind him were several rebel soldiers, each with a white cloth wrapped around their arms, writing that they belonged.
Most of the new soldiers laid down their swords and guns and fled for their lives. A few tentatively took off their uniforms and followed the last of the Broken Army. The soldiers of the Breakers did not laugh at their timidity, and shielded them from the swords in front of them with their broad shoulders.
"It's a man, pick up a knife and kill the tartar!" Li Zhen shouted with his saber held high.
"Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!" In the smoke, I don't know how many people are responding. Gradually, the responses became more and more frequent, and became more and more dense, as if all the new annexes in the vicinity had joined in, letting out the same roar.
