Chapter 78 The inside should be combined with the outside, and the Ningwu Pass is broken
After Yan Yingyuan led his troops to annihilate the opponent, he didn't have time to check the losses of his own troops, so he immediately ordered a redeployment.
This time, he did not arrange a phalanx, but turned into a long snake formation.
The tactic he discussed with Li Yan was to provoke Bai Guangen and let him go out of the city to fight.
No general was willing to fight a siege war, and the losses in the siege war were too great.
"Babbling......"
Suddenly, the gate of Ningwu Pass opened, and a large number of people began to leave the city.
Among the people who ran out first, there was a big banner with a big "white" character on the flag.
When Yan Yingyuan saw the handsome banner appear, he immediately realized that Bai Guangen had personally gone to battle.
The broadsword is raised high in the air:
"Pass my order, the rear team will become the front team, retreat quickly, and ...... quickly"
The Chinese army immediately conveyed Yan Yingyuan's order.
"The general has an order, the rear team becomes the front team, withdraw quickly."
In this way, the long snake formation suddenly changed from the rear team to the front team, and quickly retreated to the mountains and forests behind them.
And Li Yan also stood up from the grass, and the telescope in his hand kept looking at the direction of the city gate.
When he saw an army leaving the city, he immediately gave the order:
"The artillery is ready for shelling, the cavalry is ready to storm at any time, and the cavalry target rushes into Ningwu Pass.
If they can't enter the city, they must be blocked from retreating back to the city. ”
"Yes"
The commander, the centurion, quickly prepared for battle, and the muzzles of the red-coated cannons were also aimed in the direction of the city gates.
Yan Yingyuan's 3,000 men and horses quickly retreated, and soon retreated to the side hillside, turning the muzzle of their guns and ready to shoot at any time.
Seeing a large number of rebels leaving the city, Yan Yingyuan smiled coldly and looked back at the hundred tiger squat cannons that had been set up long ago behind him.
Pass the command again:
"Quick, reload, all reload the blossom bombs and the iron ball scatter bombs."
The camouflaged grass leaves on the Tiger Squat Cannon were immediately removed.
One by one, the black holes came out, and the direction the muzzles were aimed at the rebels behind them.
"Boom ......"
"Bang Bang ......"
Hundreds of tiger squatting cannons, 3,000 flintlock muskets fired together.
The bottom of the hillside suddenly became a hell on earth, with stumps flying wildly and blood mist filling the sky.
To fight a war, we must not only be brave, but also be good at using troops and strategies, and this is what military masters are.
Yan Yingyuan was obviously this kind of military wizard, but no one found him at that time.
Hold on to Jiangyin for 81 days, kill more than 70,000 soldiers of the Eastern Captivity, kill 18 generals of the Eastern Captivity, and kill three princes of the Eastern Captivity.
As the commander of this famous war epidemic, how could Yan Yingyuan not have military talent.
In today's battle, the soldiers and horses of both sides were equal, and as a result, he once again completely annihilated the rebels.
And only a dozen of the soldiers under his command were wounded, and no one was killed.
This is where the advantage of hot weapons over cold weapons lies.
Of course, it has something to do with the low combat effectiveness of the rebels.
……
"Report to the general, the Ming army immediately retreated when they saw the general's troops, and they did not dare to fight."
As soon as Bai Guangen led his troops out of the city, a soldier immediately came to report.
"Kill my 3,000 cavalry and still want to run, how can it be so simple."
"Order, 10,000 horses to chase and kill the Ming army, and the other soldiers follow the forest to the right of the general."
"Yes"
Bai Guangen was still thinking about it in his heart, and when he saw dozens of truckloads of military supplies, he immediately divided his troops into two ways.
He not only wanted to annihilate the Ming army, but also take all the military supplies of the Ming army.
With so many cars and soldiers needing enough material for him to consume for two months, there is no reason why he will not want to deliver things to his door.
Bai Guangen led 10,000 rebels to rush towards the hillside where Li Yan was.
He wants to get the military quartermaster first, and then go to clean up Yan Yingyuan.
Seeing that Bai Guangen was deceived, Li Yan and his wife both had smiles on their faces.
Li Yan waved the command flag in his hand and ordered:
"The artillery is ready, and the cavalry will attack the city gate from both flanks while firing the cannon, and strive to enter the Ningwu Pass with all their strength before the city gate has time to close."
"Order"
Seeing that he was about to enter the logistics of the Ming army, the Ming army didn't seem to move at all, Bai Guangen laughed proudly:
"These Ming army generals are really stupid, do you think that if you hide the grain and grass here, the general will not see it, it is ridiculous, the soldiers rushed, and all the grain and grass in the mountains and forests were pulled into Ningwu Pass by the general."
"Rush"
10,000 rebels slaughtered Li Yan and his wife like a storm.
"The general is not good, look, there are cannons!"
Cao Wen, the deputy general who rushed to the front, suddenly found that countless Ming troops appeared in front of him.
There were also many cannons, and the muzzles of the cannons were facing them, and the soul of the goods was frightened, and hurriedly turned the horse's head, like Bai Guangen reported.
"What? How is it possible, where did they get so many people? Don't fall for them. ”
"Boom ......"
Bai Guangen didn't believe the words at all, and just wanted to order the impact.
Suddenly, a deafening sound was heard, and the entire ground began to shake.
Immediately after the rebel front team fell, Bai Guangen believed what the adjutant general said, and hurriedly ordered:
"Tell the order to retreat, retreat quickly......"
"Rush"
"Kill"
"Kill all these traitors, and leave no ...... behind"
In the midst of three rumbling sounds, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and two cavalry struck out from the rebels' flanks like a whirlwind.
They didn't fall in love with the battle, but only rushed to Ningwu to pass the city gate.
Bai Guangen was stunned for a moment, he saw that there were many black-clothed and black-armored soldiers among these cavalry.
They all held bright Mo knives in their hands, and they cut down several people when they raised and fell, and his soldiers were not enemies at all.
"No, this is not the Ming army, the Ming army does not have this kind of dress, retreat!"
"Boom ......"
The sound of artillery did not stop, and the rebels who were bombed turned on their backs, and finally broke through, and the scene in front of him surprised Bai Guangen again.
The city gate has obviously been breached, and a neat group of black-armored cavalry immediately stood in front of the city gate with a majestic sword.
"How is it possible, there are still 5,000 men and horses in my city, and the city gate may be so easy to break."
Bai Guangen was looking up at the city, and the Dashun military flag had been replaced by the Daming military flag.
One of his lieutenants, Liu Yuanchao, was standing under the banner and looked at Bai Guangen coldly.
"Bai Guangen, you traitor, a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, this deputy general has been waiting for the Celestial Empire army for a long time, and today he finally waited for my Celestial Empire army ......"
It turned out that when Liu Yuanchao rushed to the city gate with the Xuanjia Iron Horse, he opened the city gate without hesitation.
In the battle of Tongguan, Bai Guangen defected, as Bai Guangen's deputy general, Liu Yuanchao was originally a person loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and he was very ashamed.
He once opposed Bai Guangen's surrender to the Liukou, but was heavily punished by Bai Guangen, in order to survive, and in order to find an opportunity to return to the Ming Dynasty, he has been waiting for the Ming Dynasty to recover Ningwu Pass.
Today, when Bai Guangen led the army out of the city to strangle the Ming army, Liu Yuanchao gathered his cronies.
Without much effort, he easily suppressed some of the rebels who remained in the city and opened the city gates for the Ming army.
Ningwu Pass has been lost, it is impossible to return to the city, and Bai Guangen hates it to death.
He hated that he hadn't killed Liu Yuanchao in the first place, and that he ended up with today's consequences.
Bai Guangen nodded Liu Yuanchao fiercely with his hand and began to intimidate him
"Liu Yuanchao, you dare to betray me, General Ben must kill your whole family, wait for General Ben."
But Liu Yuanchao didn't care, he laughed wildly:
"Foolish dreams, you are already unable to protect yourself, and you dare to intimidate me, take a good look, you are surrounded by my great soldiers."
Bai Guangen looked back, and the young general also led the men and horses to arrive and blocked the road for Bai Guangen to escape.
Obviously, the other way of his own people must have been wiped out again.
Just now, he was bombarded by the red-clothed cannon, and was bombarded by the tiger squat cannon again, and the men and horses under his command were less than 3,000, where would he dare to fight again.
"Quick, retreat westward. You can't stay for a moment. “”
He knew very well that this battle was a complete failure, and he didn't even have the slightest chance to turn over, so he had better run away!
