250 Angry attack
At this time, because of the appearance of the Di Bao, all the imperial court soldiers understood that the good things they had never dared to think of before had been written into the "Da Ming Law", which was too real to be true. Therefore, their previously suppressed morale suddenly exploded.
The thieves on the opposite side are making a commotion, and they don't know how to fight back. As a result, this military order came down.
The reason why "Defending the Yellow River" is classic is not only that the lyrics reflect the content of the times, but also because it can be catchy, simple and easy to sing, so that it can be widely spread.
Therefore, since the time when the Yellow River was crossed, this song was born out of thin air, and by this time, everyone in the army could sing it.
After all, in this era, first, there is no entertainment and there is no distraction; Second, the song sings about the righteousness of their wars.
Therefore, as soon as this military order was given, all the soldiers held their breath and released them violently.
"The wind is howling, the horses are howling......"
On the side of the imperial court, the number of people was only about 50,000, but the momentum of this singing suddenly overpowered the noise of the thieves on the opposite side without any suspense.
Moreover, this is because the army sings together, this kind of thing has never happened before. Therefore, when the thief on the other side heard it, he subconsciously shut up, wanting to hear what the other side was doing?
Even in the distance, those thieves who didn't know what the two armies were doing in front of the formation could clearly hear the movements of the officers and troops on the opposite side. Suddenly, these thieves who were deserting also turned their heads in surprise and looked in the direction of the court officials and soldiers in the distance.
"What's going on over there? Such a big momentum? ”
"It's like singing! What the hell is this? Before the two armies, there was going to be a battle, and they actually started singing? ”
"Listen, defending their hometown, defending the Yellow River, they are singing about the war?"
“……”
The song "Defending the Yellow River" can be sung repeatedly. And the lyrics are actually very short, and they can be sung at once, and it is right to sing them repeatedly.
At this moment, after the officers and soldiers of the imperial court roared out, they felt very comfortable, because this song vented the emotions in their hearts at this time.
We are at war, we are fighting to defend our homeland, we are righteous......
As they sang the song, such thoughts popped into their minds. Therefore, when the military order was not stopped, they sang more and more vigorously, that is, to sing to the thieves on the other side.
So, on the side of the thieves, even if they couldn't understand it the first time, by the second time and the third time, most of the thieves understood.
It's true that they understand it, and they are a little dumbfounded.
Instinctively, they have a question in their minds, the other side is to defend their homeland, but what about us?
At the beginning, Song Xiance was also shocked by the unheard of incident on the side of the imperial court. But after he understood the lyrics, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly turned his head and shouted to Li Zicheng: "General, launch an attack quickly, you can't let them sing anymore!" ”
If this is sung again, he is sure that it will definitely hit his morale!
In fact, at this time, there are already thieves who are confused. What the hell are we fighting for?
If before, they could say conclusively that we were trying to survive and being forced by the government, at least it could be regarded as righteous and had an excuse.
But now, the imperial court is no longer the imperial court of the past, at least even the military household is such a class, the imperial court has given preferential treatment, and it has even been written into the "Da Ming Law", which will be an ironclad fact.
In the army opposite, there are still their role models. Not only Xiao Yuanying, but also those who were captured by the imperial court officials and soldiers in the Yuan Zongdi department before, are now recruited by the imperial court, and become a member of the imperial court's official army, they can enjoy the benefits of the imperial court's new set, so is this rebellion still a survival?
If Song Xiance couldn't think of what kind of news would be on the other side that could affect the morale of the people here, then at this time, he would have seen it.
In fact, he can't be blamed for this, in this era, no one would have imagined that the imperial court would have such a change. It is even more unthinkable that there is such a song in the imperial army, and it can be sung like this when the two armies are facing each other.
This time, many of the thieves found that the court has changed, and it is no longer the court in their previous impressions!
When Li Zicheng saw this scene, of course he also understood how much the newspaper on the other side and the song he was singing now would have a big impact on the morale of his army. However, he did not have any effective means to stop it.
There are many of his subordinates, and they also come to overwhelm the other side? That's okay, but he doesn't have such a song at all! Even if you let your subordinates shout together, at this moment, it is estimated that they will not be able to do it. Because on the entire battlefield, it was the roar of "defending the hometown and defending the Yellow River".
This is not over, at the head of Kaifeng City, it is obvious that the officials and soldiers of the court have also heard the chorus of the court. Henan Patrol Gao Mingheng was also suppressed by the power of the thieves before, and when he saw such a good opportunity, he immediately ordered and let Kaifeng City sing.
As a result, the advantages of "Defending the Yellow River" came out again. Because it is simple and easy to sing, the lyrics are very good, and it is fresh that I have never heard before, this song has also spread from the army to Kaifeng City in these days.
"The wind is howling, the horses are howling......"
On the side of Kaifeng City, they sang together with the melody of the court officials and soldiers.
The people in the city, who originally thought that the overwhelming thieves were coming, were hiding in their homes in fear. Suddenly, they heard this song, and some of them had already heard it and could sing it; Some of them haven't heard of it, but they quickly understand it.
Suddenly, that feeling of worry disappeared all of a sudden. Instead, they involuntarily sang along.
"Good, good, that's great!" Huang Peng, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, was in a stirred mood when he heard this, so he immediately found a big white flag, put it up at Caomen, and shouted loudly, "Bianliang Haojie, I am willing to set up this flag from my travelers!" ”
In the original history, because of the re-attack of the thieves, known as a million people, so that the strength of the defenders of Kaifeng Mansion was not enough to defend the city, it was recorded that Huang Peng had this action.
Today, although history has been flapped by butterfly wings, there are still things that have appeared. For example, this behavior of his.
Hearing this movement, the young and strong men around him, even the usual ruffians and hooligans, were all enthusiastic and shouted, "Bianliang Haojie is here!" Then he swarmed him.
This matter, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and it didn't take long for tens of thousands of people to gather.
When the news reached the city, Gao Mingheng couldn't help laughing, and when he looked at the thieves outside the city again, he was not afraid of anything, and he was heroic, pointing at the thieves outside the city, and shouting loudly in the huge singing: "The people's hearts are in me, and the thieves will be defeated!" ”
And Li Zicheng, who was outside the city, was already angry, and found that under the influence of singing, even his side had problems in conveying military orders. His eyes were red, and he immediately ordered the trumpet to be blown.
"Woo woo woo ......" Many horns were sounded together, finally ruining the one-sided atmosphere on the battlefield.
The leaders of Li Zicheng's subordinates also rushed back to their troops one after another, shouting and organizing an attack.
Seeing that the thieves all over the mountains were about to prepare to attack, Zhang Mingwei was not afraid at all at this time, so he ordered again: "All arms war!" ”
As soon as this military order was given, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court no longer sang, but took their places, and entered a state of readiness for war with high morale.
In front of the two armies, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Lan Tianbao and others also returned to their respective formations.
As a result, it is very regrettable that there is no situation of singing, and the traditional life-and-death battle is staged as scheduled.
On the side of the imperial court, relying on the car battalion, it is a defensive counterattack.
Above the car camp, there are all artillery guns. From the Hongyi cannon with the longest firing range in this era, to the general Franc machine gun, there are all of them.
The artillerymen, who had already been loaded, were waiting for the order to open the artillery.
On the side of the thieves, it was still their usual way of fighting, the cavalry drove their ordinary soldiers forward, while their elite infantry followed behind, and began to slowly attack the side of the official army.
Zhang Mingwei watched all this, although he understood that these cannon fodder who were driven up to die were more actually people who were coerced. He certainly didn't want to kill them if he could. However, in front of the two armies, there was no room for a woman's heart.
What can be done is to quell the thieves as soon as possible, and try to make the civil war of the Ming Dynasty end as soon as possible and shed less blood!
With the attack of the thieves, finally, the military order for the shelling was handed down.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Gunpowder smoke rose into the air, and in the deafening sound of artillery, iron bullets whistled towards the crowd opposite.
One of the advantages of waiting for work is that the battlefield here has already been marked by the artillery in advance, so there is no need to estimate how many elevation angles to shoot or something, and the iron bullets will accurately fall into the rogue army, plowing out a bloody ditch.
Under the severed arms and stumps, the ordinary thieves who were driven to attack were naturally frightened and tried their best to avoid the artillery bombardment. However, the cruel reality was that the elite of the rogue infantry and cavalry behind them did not hesitate to slash and kill those soldiers who fled backwards, and continued to drive them to attack the imperial army.
Although the crowd of black pressure fluctuated, the final result continued to hug the court officials and soldiers.
On the side of Kaifeng City, it was not attacked by thieves. Obviously, Li Zicheng knew that only by defeating the Ming army outside the city, Kaifeng would be within reach, and it would be meaningless to attack Kaifeng, which had a strong city wall, at this time.
As a result, everyone's eyes turned to the side of the imperial court officials and troops outside the city, just looking at what this battle would be?
