The veterans of Chaotianxing have battlefield experience, and as soon as they heard the voice, they immediately thought of retreating, but at this time, they couldn't help it, the sea of people behind them continued to pour in like a tide, and they tried their best to run back, after all, the strength was not as big as the large army behind, and the main body of the peasant army was still in a state of advancement, but after such a trouble, the forward line was in chaos, and the speed of the charge was greatly reduced.

Zhang Huangyan was worthy of being a general, and after several rounds of volleying shots after seizing the fighter plane, several thousand people on the front line of the peasant army became ghosts under the guns again.

Seeing that the army was still more than 100 meters away from the enemy's front and lost more than 10,000 people, including thousands of his own veterans, Chaotianxing's mind was blank: he fell for the Ming army, but he didn't expect the other party to have so many firearms!

However, it is too late to regret it at this time, there is no turning back arrow from the bow, if you retreat now, not only will the plan to rescue Suizhou go bankrupt, but even the whole army will be wiped out, Chaotianxing does not believe that the Ming army has no cavalry, so he can only grit his teeth and rush forward.

"Listen to Lao Tzu, the firearms of the Ming army are exhausted, as long as you rush over, you can completely annihilate the Ming army, and when the time comes, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! Overseer the team, those who dare to retreat will be killed! Chaosky Star gritted his teeth and roared.

It can be said that although Chaotianxing is brave and strategic, he has not learned anything after following Luo Rucai for many years, and he actually saw the key to this battle.

The more than 100 people who had already retreated had their heads cut off by the pro-soldiers of the Celestial Star, and the headless corpses were more visually intimidating than those killed by muskets. Many peasant soldiers who saw the scene of killing their heads for the first time turned pale with fright and vomited, and after hearing the roar of the chaotic star, they thought that they would die in the future, and they would die even worse in the future, maybe they would survive if they rushed forward, and they rushed forward one after another, praying in their hearts not to hit me!

Zhu Hao didn't expect Chaotianxing to be so ruthless, and even killed his old subordinates. Seeing the peasant army that turned around and charged gradually approaching, his brows furrowed slightly: I didn't expect this peasant army to be quite difficult, it seems that I don't need artillery to support myself!

Zhang Huangyan nervously ordered the troops to continue shooting, and asked: "Uncle, the enemy is still more than fifty meters away from us, and the musket team has lost the best distance, what should we do?" ”

Zhu Hao's face was as pale as water, and he said lightly: "What are you panicking about?" Order the troops to fire one last platoon. Wait for the enemy to enter fifty meters, and the grenade is waiting! ”

"Yes, why didn't I think of it, it's all there, the last volley, grenade grenade greeting within fifty meters!" Zhang Huangyan suddenly said with great joy.

In the last round of firing, another peasant army was knocked down, and the New Army soldiers pulled out ignition grenades from their waists, lit them and threw them into the enemy group.

The leader of the peasant army, who rushed to the front, saw that the enemy had put away his musket, and said with great joy: "Hurry up and rush with me, the firearms of the Ming army are useless." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a flower in front of him, and he saw countless pieces of iron emitting white smoke thrown out of the Ming army's array, and instantly crossed the air and fell into his own crowd. Before he could see it clearly, there was a loud "boom", and he was surprised to find that his lower body was disconnected, and this thought flashed through him, and then he fell unconscious.

More than a thousand grenades exploded in less than a minute with a power comparable to the fire coverage of artillery. The peasant army that rushed to the front was killed countless times! The entire ground suddenly became extremely open, and only a few survivors and the wounded stood alone in the open space full of corpses.

The whole battlefield was suddenly quiet for a few seconds, I don't know who shouted, countless peasant soldiers began to cry and flee in all directions, the entire army collapsed in an instant, the officers couldn't hold it down at all, the bloody scene was beyond the comprehension of these honest peasants, and it was not bad if they didn't go crazy on the spot.

Many soldiers of the New Army were also pale with fright, and they were a little helpless for a while.

Seeing that he was about to rush to the front of the Ming army, he suddenly fell short, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. After seeing that the troops on the battlefield were still organized, there were only 5,000 of their own descendants, and knowing that the general trend had gone, he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

"Boss... No, General, our army has found a large number of officers and troops behind the formation, which are rapidly approaching, and have cut off our retreat! "Just then, a spy came to report.

"What? Do you see clearly, which way is it? "The chaotic star is angry and ruined.

"The little one didn't pay much attention, but it seemed to be dressed like the Ming army in front!"

"Ahh God is dead to me! Chaotianxing screamed, fell off his horse, and the soldiers hurried to the rescue.

"Quickly pass the order, the troops are scattered to break through, you gather our old brothers to move closer to Suizhou, as long as you enter the city, there is still a chance of life!" Chaotianxing came to his senses and ordered, but it was precisely because of this order that he lost his life.

The six battalions of Wang Boda's department came from behind the enemy, which Zhu Hao had arranged a long time ago, and the purpose was to force Chaotianxing to enter the city, so that he could catch turtles in an urn, otherwise it was unlikely that he would annihilate Chaotianxing according to the rich experience of the peasant army in escaping.

"Pass my order, the troops will attack, specifically intercept and kill the enemy with regular weapons, and the rest of the people can be spared death as long as they lay down their weapons!" Zhu Hao didn't want to waste time on these rabble, the descendants of the Mixed Sky Star were his dish.

At the moment of the order, all the infantry and cavalry of the new army were thrown into the battlefield, and for a time there were figures everywhere chasing after me, often one soldier of the new army chasing and killing four or five peasant soldiers.

At this time, it was possible to distinguish the difference between the veterans of the peasant army and the recruits, the recruits were all frightened, and many of them lost their weapons and honestly squatted on the ground and did not dare to move. As soon as many veterans of the peasant army saw that the other side had given up their firearms and were fighting hand-to-hand with bayonets, they came to their senses and tried in vain to defeat the new army in close combat, and they turned around and fought with the new army.

This is also Zhu Hao's special arrangement, the purpose is to exercise the army's white-knuckle combat ability, firearms alone are not omnipotent, you must have a strong hand-to-hand combat ability to become a qualified new army soldier!

At first, many of the new soldiers were a little nervous, after all, it was the first time to fight the enemy with real knives and guns, but under the leadership of some veterans, most of the recruits gradually let go of their hands and feet, fully displayed the fighting skills and fighting formations during training, and stabbed the peasant army to the ground.

At this time, the battlefield was not far from Suizhou City, and He Yilong at the head of the city witnessed the general process of this battle, and he was terrified.

Chaotianxing still has some ability, relying on the desperate protection of the pro-soldier team, he finally approached Suizhou City with great effort, and at this time there were only more than a thousand troops around him. When He Yilong saw that the rescuers were coming, he hurriedly opened the city gate and let the chaotic stars enter the city, and he couldn't take care of the more than 10,000 people left outside the city.

The white-knuckle battle lasted for more than three hours, and it ended near dusk.

The 50,000-strong army of Chaotianxing was wiped out, except for more than 1,000 who fled into the city and a few thousand who escaped by taking advantage of the chaos: more than 30,000 peasant troops were killed and wounded, and more than 10,000 were captured. And the new army killed more than 100 people and injured more than 300 people, and the casualties were not small, but Zhu Hao didn't mind, these people were all killed and wounded in hand-to-hand combat, and it was inevitable that the cavalry had the most abundant harvest, killing nearly 5,000 enemies, and none of them were killed!

More than 12,000 of the 20,000 veterans brought by Chaotianxing were killed and more than 5,000 captured, almost all of which were wiped out. A total of more than 50,000 taels of silver were seized, and countless grains were seized.

Zhu Hao was busy cleaning up the battlefield and counting the loot, but the Chaotian Star and He Yilong in the city were trembling and discussing what to do next.

"The second master, what do you say, or will we break through overnight?" He Yilong was at a loss.

"To put it lightly, the Ming army surrounded the entire Suizhou like an iron bucket, and if you and I went out, we would send them to death." Chaosky Star snorted.

"But it's not a way to be trapped, I didn't expect the Ming army to come here, so I didn't prepare much food, and now the grain and grass in the city are only enough for three or four days." He Yilong said with a bitter face, "Either we surrender, we will make a comeback in the future, anyway, we haven't done it before." ”

"Fart! If you surrender Lao Tzu to save you, why are you full! Do you think the generals of this Ming army will accept your surrender if they put on such a big formation? I advise you to put away this thought. Chaotian Xingxing scolded angrily.

"You! Alas, brother, I'm just talking casually, so what do you say, you can't sit still like this! He Yilong saw that the other party scolded him for just wanting to have a seizure, and thought that no matter what, people made it like this to help him, so he endured it.

"I've figured it out, rob the camp tonight!" Chaotian Xing squinted his eyes and said coldly.

"Camp robbery? Isn't this death? He Yilong was taken aback.

"Is there anything else you can do?" Chao Tianxing glanced at him with disdain, "There is still a glimmer of life in the camp, no matter how powerful this Ming army commander is, I have to gamble, you are ready to accept me." ”

In the middle of the night, there was no sound in the entire New Army camp, except for a few sentries leaning motionlessly on the pillars at the camp gate, as if they were napping.

Chaotianxing quietly ambushed a dirt slope not far away with a thousand descendant troops, observing the movements of the Ming army.

"Hmph, the commander of this Ming army is really trusting, he thinks that he has won my battle during the day, so there is no one in his eyes, and the brothers have given me the spirit to avenge him during the day!" Chaosky Star roared under his breath.

These more than 1,000 people are all outlaws, and they are not afraid to rob the camp in the middle of the night, but they are all excited.

Chaotianxing quietly moved to a distance of dozens of meters from the camp gate with a group of good hands, and then took out the bow and crossbow, snorted twice, and the two sentries at the door suddenly fell in response.

"Brothers, light torches for me to charge, and kill the army of light."

With the order of Chaotianxing, more than a thousand people rushed into the barracks with shouts. In the panic, no one found out about the two soldiers at the camp gate.

"Oh no, boss, those two people at the door are scarecrows!" A sharp-eyed minion finally found the clue and reported it in a panic.

Chao Tianxing was busy directing everyone to set fire to the camp, and when he heard his subordinates say, he chuckled in his heart, only to realize that something was wrong, it was said that the army should be very chaotic when it came in, but now except for the voice of his own people, he didn't see half a shadow of the enemy.

"It's not good, it's a trick, retreat!"

There was a loud bang, and countless grenades bypassed the fence and fell at the feet of the peasant army, and hundreds of people were instantly swept away by the air waves. The new army soldiers who were ambushed outside the camp still had grenades at the door, and the continuous explosions even smashed the camp gate, killing and wounding countless people.

The soldiers who escaped were immediately fired upon by muskets, and all of them were killed and wounded.

The camp was a complete defeat, and all the more than 1,000 peasant troops below the Celestial Star were killed, except for a few cunning people who fled in the dark, and not a single one was captured.

In fact, some people in the headquarters of the new army also suggested that the peasant army might come to rob the camp, but Zhu Hao did not take it to heart, and just sent a few scouts to ambush under the city to transmit information through the message tree. As soon as the Chaotian Star Department left the city, Zhu Hao knew that he calmly arranged, only vacated the front battalion in the large camp, and dispatched two battalions of troops to completely annihilate the enemy.

Early the next morning, the new army lined up under the city of Suizhou, dozens of cannons lined up, the hideous muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the city tower, and several flagpoles were erected in front of the cannons, on which were hung the heads of leaders such as Chaotianxing.

Zhu Hao didn't shout, just looked at the busy peasant army in the city.

In less than an hour, the city gate suddenly opened, and out of a group of people, the leader was in his forties, with his hands tied behind his back, walked up to Zhu Hao, knelt down and said, "The sinner He Yilong begs to surrender to the general!" The rest fell to their knees.

Looking at He Yilong, who was trembling all over, Zhu Hao suddenly said: "Sacrifice the city and surrender, you are still knowledgeable about current affairs, but your life and death are not the master, I will send someone to escort you to Xiangyang and hand it over to Lord Yang for disposal!" ”

"Don't, Dashuai! If the court knew about this, it would be difficult for the sinner to save his life. Although sinners have committed rebellion, they have never harmed the people, and I know that Dashuai has always been benevolent and righteous..."He Yilong was almost scared to death when he heard that Zhu Hao was going to tie him up in the court, and Gao Yingxiang's fate was a lesson from the past.

Seeing Zhu Hao's expressionless face, he knew that he couldn't be moved by saying this, so he said ruthlessly: "Since the sinner started the incident, he has attacked the city and plundered the mansion, and he has some savings, if the handsome man is willing to spare my life, I am willing to give it all!" ”

"Oh? You come into the account with me. As soon as he heard that there was money to be earned, Zhu Hao's eyes lit up, and he pulled He Yilong into the Chinese military tent.

"If you want to save your life, you have to see how sincere you are." Zhu Hao looked at He Yilong with interest.

"The sinners have accumulated a total of more than 200,000 taels over the years, some of which are in Suizhou City, and the other part is in Hongshan in the south of the city."

"Well, I'll find out the money as you say, and if the amount is true, I'll arrange for you, but you can't fool me, I know you must have reservations as a bargaining chip with me. I don't care, you will know who I am Zhu Hao in the future. Zhu Hao said with a smile, he naturally wouldn't trust He Yilong easily.

As soon as he heard this, He Yilong's sweat came down, he did have reservations, but there was no way, only if he completely saved his life, he would give it all out.

"Don't worry about your business, I will definitely arrange it properly, and send you back to Xuzhou when the time comes, so that you can be safe, but all your bad thoughts will be cut off for me, otherwise no one can save you?" Zhu Hao said coldly.

"Yes, yes, sinners understand!" He Yilong just couldn't stop agreeing.
