Section 532 Xiong Wencan breaks Zhang Xianzhong
Xiong Wencan is the rich man who is most afraid of death, but he is a big Cantonese soldier, with 2,000 musketeers, equipped with flintlock pistols from the southeast province, the training outline is given by the southeast government, one by one training passed, the officers also went to the southeast province military academy to study, the commander of the army is the southeast province Yan Tian, received a Ming general army title.
There were another twenty-four six-pounder marching guns and twenty-four one-pounder guns, and the artillery was five hundred men.
There were also 3,000 shield soldiers, and the shields they used were rattan and flame retardant, which was very light.
Xiong Wencan, this guy led the Cantonese soldiers, but the 200 people of the pro-guard team were Fujian soldiers, and they were purely transferred from the regular army of the Southeast Prefecture.
Because he was Yan Dashao's father-in-law, Yan Dashao gave this order to the Fujian soldiers: "If Xiong Wencan dies, if they don't die, they will all be beheaded!" ”
So the loyalty of this group of Fujian soldiers has nothing to say, and they are more assured than the Guangdong soldiers!
With such elite soldiers, they moved quickly and arrived in Anqing, at this time Liu Yuanbin, the lieutenant of Emperor Chongzhen, and Lu Jiude, who supervised the Yongwei battalion, also arrived, and summoned all the troops to arrive one after another.
Let's say that Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude, two TJs, entered the military camp of the Guangdong Army and were frightened!
Because the Guangdong military array is neatly arranged, the horizontal is a line, the vertical is a line, and the straight is also a line!
The Guangdong army imitates the Southeast Mansion, and the Southeast Mansion governs the army strictly, and the first military posture!
Soldiers have to be like soldiers, they have big shoulders and round waists, and soldiers are not more than twenty-five years old, and they are all tigers!
The Cantonese soldiers served for only three years, and they were discharged at the end of the year, young and energetic, showing a vigorous and upward spirit, and none of the other Ming troops who arrived could match their spiritual outlook.
And they were well-armed, flintlock muskets, Western marching guns, armor, and helmets!
When the armies arrived, they saw that the Cantonese army was so elite, and their morale was immediately invigorated.
Before Hong Chengchou and Cao Bianjiao (two fierce men) were called, Xiong Wencan immediately urged the army to fight with Zhang Xianzhong in Nanyang!
Nearly 6,000 Cantonese troops were placed in the Chinese army, 2,000 shield soldiers in front, 2,000 musketeers behind, followed by artillery, and then 1,000 shield soldiers as reserves, and in front of these 1,000 shield soldiers were Xiong Wencan and the lieutenant officers of the two prison armies.
Then there were border generals Feng Ju and Miao Youcai as the left wing, and Jing Ying general Huang Degong and others as the right wing, each leading an army of 5,000, a total of 10,000 people.
And Zhang Xianzhong (alias Eight Kings), Wan Qing (alias Shooting the Sky), Luo Rucai (alias Cao Cao), He Yilong (alias Ge Li Eye) and other as many as thirteen demons and monsters have more than 100,000, which looks like a huge ocean.
However, once the war starts, the original form is revealed.
"Kill!" The peasant army swarmed in, and most of the weapons in their hands were wooden sticks, and even with their bare hands, there were not many metal weapons, but they rushed madly with the large number of people.
Their armor, that is, cloth clothes, and even skin ----- clothes have nothing to wear.
This is a soldier, it is purely an untrained common man.
said that their thieves were like to wander, hijacking people to join the army, and a large number of people went into battle, which was very scary, but when they met the elite officers and soldiers, they were more than they delivered.
"Put!" With Yan Tian's order, the artillery of the Southeast Army opened fire fiercely, the muskets fired intensively, the shotguns and bullets swept by, a large part of the peasant army fell, and the people who did not die fled back one after another, fleeing back in a noisy manner.
"Forward!" Seeing this, Yan Tian actually ordered the army to advance directly!
In general, musketeers tend to focus on defense, and are mostly used to wear down the enemy's offensive posture before turning to a counteroffensive.
The two armies didn't fight a few times, and the peasant army didn't kill many people, and the Cantonese army turned to the attack?!
The lieutenant Lu Jiude knew the soldiers, and couldn't help jumping to his feet when he saw this: "How can you use soldiers like this?" ”
And Xiong Wencan said calmly: "The command of this officer is given to the front-line commander, needless to say, the lieutenant envoy (the honorific title for TJ) can just wait for good news." ”
How could Lu Jiude be safe, but soon he saw the most exciting scene!
Shield soldiers resist the enemy! put the peasant army on the sidelines;
The artillery extended its fire, and the muskets carried out barrage fire, and the dense projectiles knocked the peasant army down in rows.
When the peasant army gathers a lot, invite them to eat big bombs!
When the air throws grenades and gas bombs, the fight is very lively!
The peasant army collapsed!
The front army coughed, cried and shouted, and fled backwards one after another, and immediately let their strong Chinese army be washed away by them, and they could not think of a big mess, and fell into a chaos, unable to organize an attack, and could only watch the projectiles fly by, and the peasant army fell in rows and rows like rice waves hit by a strong wind.
And so it was a big rout!
Zhang Xianzhong, these birdmen are not righteous, seeing that the situation is not good, they are not infantry, they have yards, so they run away on horseback!
When the other thieves saw that the thieves had run away, how could they be so stupid as to be shot and scatter in a hurry!
Seeing the peasant army scattered all over the mountains, Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude's eyes straightened, and Xiong Wencan said with satisfaction: "Pass on the official's order, and the left and right flanks will attack together with the Chinese army!" ”
Who wouldn't fight a tailwind battle, the officers and soldiers chased and killed along the way, and many poor peasant soldiers ran out of strength because they couldn't eat enough, so they caught up with the officers and soldiers, and luckily happened!
The officers and soldiers surrendered, and as long as the people squatted on the ground, none of them would be killed!
Xiong Wencan smiled and said dignifiedly: "It's all my Ming people, it's just that they are being held hostage, spare their lives!" ”
Liu Yuanbin was amazed, and couldn't help but praise: "Lord Xiong is really benevolent and righteous!" ”
You must know that the official army has always been ruthless enough, and often kills good people and risked their merits, are you really so kind to be Xiong Wencan?
This guy sold the captives to the southeast government as piglets at the price of one silver dollar for each young man and one silver dollar for ten women and children, and sent them to Southeast Asia to open up the wasteland!
After all, I still didn't kill so many people!
Xiong Wencan won a complete victory, shooting and shelling 5,000 people and capturing 25,000 people!
Lao Xiong will be a man, and give some of the money from the sale of piglets to the army, and they will be thunderous, and they all call Lao Xiong a good official.
Zhang Xianzhong fled, and Xiong Wencan sent generals to chase him down.
Knowing that the Guangdong army was sharp, the officers and soldiers from all walks of life seemed to have taken a reassuring pill and worked hard to pursue and suppress them, but the peasant army fled from the wind, and the situation was very good for a while.
……
In the big tent, Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude jointly drafted a memo to the emperor and reported on the supervision of the army, while Xiong Wencan had already reported the victory and sent the good news to Beijing.
"Lord Xiong is really successful, he should have been used a long time ago!" Liu Yuanbin said excitedly.
Lu Jiude shook his head and said: "Lord Xiong did not go into battle to command, it was his subordinate general Yan Tian who played a role, I heard that it was a general from the Southeast Mansion, a relative of the Southeast Marquis!" ”
"He is good at generals, which is also his advantage!" Liu Yuanbin is benevolent and authentic.
The two TJs couldn't help but be silent.
They are all in the palace, well-informed, and know what Yan Changwu's name represents!
Xiong Wencan actually used the subordinates of the rebel to be the commander, and he was so fierce, he knew the autumn, it was terrible to think about the Southeast Army!
……
The morale of the officers and soldiers is strong, and they have won many battles, while the peasant army wolves are rushing and scattering in all directions, allowing them to be slaughtered!
The situation is very good, and what Xiong Wencan is facing is what strategy will be adopted, whether to completely eliminate the peasant army, or ......
