Du Yinxi did not guess wrong, at this time, the rebels under Zuo Liangyu and the imperial court officers and troops led by Zhang Mingwei encountered in the field about sixty miles north of Xinle, and a big battle was about to begin.

On the side of the imperial court, there were less than 40,000 in total, and those in front of the two armies were actually about 30,000. On the side of Zuo Liangyu's rebels, there are more than 100,000 horses, and at a glance, it is overwhelming.

Under the banner of the "left" word marshal, Zuo Liangyu looked at the army opposite with envy, and thought in his heart: If Lao Tzu has such an army, he will be able to pull up a million troops in a blink of an eye!

As a man who is used to fighting, he doesn't know that soldiers are not expensive. However, he can't take the elite route, he can only be like a thief. The envy in my heart is conceivable.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked Ma Duzhong beside him: "In the first battle, the opposite side started attacking without a pause?" ”

"Back to Dashuai, it's the banner that Zhang Zi, just a little bit of the whole team and then attacked." Ma Duzhong listened, immediately replied, and pointed to the array on the opposite side.

As soon as Zuo Liangyu heard it, he knew that the general in the first battle should be named Zhang Luofu.

The battle between Tanma and Night Harvest naturally cannot all be won without Night Harvest. Therefore, it is normal for people to be captured alive by Tanma at night and forced to confess.

He probably also knows the news of the main generals in the imperial court. What Zhang Luofu and Jin Zhensun are all the doglegs of Xingguo Gong, and they were directly promoted from a flat-headed common man to a general in Beijing. I can't wait to make a contribution, which is simply expected.

Zuo Liangyu looked at the other side, his eyes turned to the miscellaneous army, that is, Xiao Yuanying, and couldn't help but scold again in his heart: "Dog's day, the power traitor leads the soldiers, that's it!" ”

It was visually estimated that there were about 15,000 people in Xiao Yuan's camp, but at this time, all of them had changed into the uniforms of the imperial court officials, and the weapons and other things had also been obviously changed. You must know that this is only a few days after Xiao Yuanying was recruited, and it is obvious that the imperial court officials and soldiers have a lot of material reserves.

However, although Xiao Yuanying has changed into the skin of the official army, the array is over there, and Zuo Liangyu can immediately distinguish it from the military discipline and the drag of the array.

After reading the general situation of the Ming army, Zuo Liangyu looked at the opposite handsome banner. It was too far away to see clearly at all, and I could only vaguely see being surrounded by everyone. Judging from the banner, Zhou Yuji accompanied the Xingguo Gong.

To tell the truth, among the court officials and soldiers opposite, Zuo Liangyu was only afraid of Zhou Yuji. After all, Zhou Yujinan fought in the north and fought many wars. However, if you want to say how much you are afraid, it may not be. After all, in the Yongwei Battalion, Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan are the most famous. And Zhou Yuji is just a deputy general.

He thought so, and after observing for a while, he loudly ordered his henchmen and generals: "All the generals act according to the plan, and the horses are loyal!" ”

"The last general!" When Ma Qianzhong heard this, he immediately responded with a fist on his horse.

Zuo Liangyu looked at him and said coldly: "Your department attacked Xiao Yuan's camp, remember what Ben Shuai explained to you!" ”

"The last general obeys!" When Ma Qianzhong heard this, he immediately responded.

He was giving a military order when he heard a thunderous voice suddenly from the opposite side: "Guogong military order, kneel and run away to avoid death!" ”

Ma Qianzhong was about to leave, and when he heard this voice, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Here again?" ”

When the court officials and soldiers fought with the thieves, there were also those who were persuaded to surrender before the battle, but it basically had no effect.

Because it turns out that many people who want to surrender will eventually be either served as military merit by the head of the war, or will work as coolies until they starve to death after the war, and only a part of the young and strong people who are good will be added to the ranks of the official army. But such a demotion has a very low status, and there are those who run away in the back.

Especially in the past few years, the court officials and soldiers have been fighting with thieves, and even this process has been saved, and meeting is just doing.

"Dashuai, the opposite side is about to attack!" Ma Qianzhong hurriedly reminded.

Zuo Liangyu heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, one person will send a steamed bun and catch them up!" ”

This kind of encounter is actually the most reluctant to fight on the part of the thieves, including the rebels. Because of their large numbers, it is impossible for those ordinary soldiers to eat enough in normal times, and after a little long march, they naturally have no strength if they have nothing in their stomachs.

Generally speaking, the thieves swept a place, first surrounded the city, and then calmly arranged, with food as the temptation, with force as the threat, to drive ordinary soldiers to attack the city, consume the enemy, and at the critical moment, then dispatch the core main force to give a fatal blow.

In this kind of encounter, normally speaking, the thieves will press the main force to stabilize their position, and then organize to meet the enemy.

However, judging from Zuo Liangyu's deployment, he obviously did not do so.

………………

Under the handsome banner of the word "Zhang", Zhou Yuji was beside Zhang Mingwei, observing the rebel formation, and at the same time explained to Zhang Mingwei: "Guogong, please see, those soldiers wearing military uniforms are old soldiers, and they should be the main force of the rebels." They did not send them to the front to suppress the formation, the purpose was nothing more than to preserve their strength, so as to coerce the people to consume our army's troops, money and food......"

In this kind of large-scale battle, although Zhang Mingwei had already made arrangements in advance after analyzing the information of the staff team, when facing it head-on, he was still humbly listening to the veteran on the battlefield analyzing the enemy situation.

“…… To fight against this kind of rebel army, the main thing is to destroy the main force of the rebel army, otherwise it will definitely come back! When Zhou Yuji said this, he showed a hint of admiration and said, "Guogong's deployment is expected to hit the main force of the rebels hard!" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he didn't have a trace of pride, but just ordered: "Attack!" ”

This war is like each playing tricks, you come and go. Before the results are revealed, even if the hole cards are not played, there is not necessarily an absolute certainty that you will win. Therefore, Zhang Mingwei remains cautious.

"Yes!" When Zhou Yuji heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and took his life.

Xingguo Gong's calmness made them, the veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time, a little secretly surprised.

When the military order was issued, the imperial court officers and soldiers began to move forward and took the initiative to attack the rebels who were still in a panic.

Just like a contact battle, the rebels could not organize a formation at all, and they faced the battle like a plate of scattered sand. There is only one purpose, the intention is to use their large number of people to consume the officers and soldiers.

Normally, before the two armies engage in battle, the ranged units of both sides will fight first. The archers on the rebel side, the musketeers, began to be driven to the front.

However, before they were ready, they saw that on the side of the Ming army's camp, the soldiers in front of them cracked to the sides, revealing artillery carriages. That's right, it's a gun on wheels. There was no need to aim at all, and as soon as the muzzle was exposed, the artillery began to ignite.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The cannon roared, the smoke suddenly filled the air, and the iron bullets whistled out from the barrels.

Although it is not a Hongyi cannon, no matter what, the range of this field cannon is not comparable to that of bows and arrows. It was still far away, and the iron bullet had already smashed into the pile of rebels, plowing out blood ditches.

On the rebel side, almost when the cannon was fired, when they looked left and right, they found that the people around them were missing arms and legs, and they had fallen a line. Although I saw a lot of corpses, all of a sudden, the people around me were torn apart, and the visual impact was still very strong.

After a round of shelling, the rebel ranks were immediately in chaos.

And almost at the same time as the cannon fired, the cavalry of the imperial court officers and soldiers had already begun to pounce.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves became the main sound on the battlefield after the sound of cannons.

On the rebels' side, the overseers desperately formed a team and drove away, they only worked for a while, and it is estimated that more people were killed and wounded than the artillery shelling. Relying on this bloody battle, the tens of thousands of horses in front were finally driven back to the front of the battle.

Zhang Mingwei watched all this with a monocular, swept the faces of those rebels, and all he saw were desperate faces.

Most of these people are ordinary people, but they are coerced by the rebels and have to go to the battlefield, how desperate it is for them!

Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but sigh when he thought about this. The four words Ci Bu is in charge of the soldiers seem to be very simple to say. However, when he really had to face it, he was still very uncomfortable.

In troubled times, human life is really as cheap as a dog! No, it's worse than a dog!

In front of the two armies, there is no mercy, and they can only hope that they will survive as much as possible until the end of the war, and at that time, he can properly settle them.

As he thought so, the two armies were getting closer and closer, and the two sides were finally starting to clash.

In fact, this confrontation is a bit exaggerated. Pity the tens of thousands of rebels, there are officers and soldiers killed in front, and there are overseers in the back to suppress them, how can they fight back, it is completely massacre.

When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he sighed in his heart and said: "Order, those who descend will not die!" ”

So, on the side of the officers and soldiers, the 10,000 horses of the reserve team shouted in unison, and the voice drowned out the sound of fighting on the battlefield: "Those who surrender will not die!" ”

Amid shouts one after another, visible to the naked eye on the battlefield, large numbers of rebels began to throw down their weapons and kneel down and surrender.

In particular, the part of the rebels that Xiao Yuanying faced surrendered the fastest, and the reason Zhang Mingwei also saw that it was the overseers over there who turned around and fled first, which gave those rebels who surrendered a chance.

The situation on the battlefield changed quickly, but it didn't take long for the rebels to be defeated, either surrendering on their knees or running backwards.

On the side of the imperial court officials and soldiers, the momentum is like a bamboo, like sharp arrows, inserted into the enemy's formation. In particular, Xiao Yuan's camp is much more prominent.

On the Jingying side, they soon began to accelerate the pursuit of the rebels.

It didn't take long for the officials and soldiers of the imperial court to have no formation, anyway, they went forward to chase and kill the rebels, and if they saw that they didn't surrender, they would kill them.

Zuo Liangyu, who was fleeing, had been observing the movement behind him, and after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face.

What Guogong? Hairy boy, I still want to be with Lao Tzu, tender!
