Chapter 105: The Next Battlefield
"Report! The road is narrow, the cavalry battalion cannot be used, the firearms of the chaotic people are sharp, the cavalry battalion has suffered heavy casualties, and Lord Huang has led the cavalry battalion to retreat. ”
When he learned the news that the former army was ambushed by the rebels, Ren Jianxiu was very angry, knowing that the situation of the former army was more dangerous, but Ren Jianxiu felt that this was also an opportunity for the Ming army, the former army was recruited, even if it encountered more than twice as many chaotic people, it would be possible to drag the chaotic people, and then the cavalry would support the past, and the Chinese army would also speed up the march and defeat the chaotic people in the past.
However, when the news came back that the cavalry battalion was blocked by the rebels and suffered heavy casualties, Ren Jianxiu was a little panicked in his heart, and the rebels were able to divide their manpower to block the cavalry, which showed that the rebels still had enough strength to deal with the front army, and if the Chinese army did not rush over, the front army would probably be eaten by the rebels.
Immediately, Ren Jianxiu ordered the Tan Tianrui battalion in the Chinese army, which was mainly recruited, to give up most of the baggage, break away from the Chinese army, and speed up to support the front army.
Just when a battalion of the Ming army broke away from the Chinese army and rushed to support the front army, on the front battlefield, the battle of the People's Army against the front army of the Ming army had already ended, and after a simple cleaning of the battlefield, the People's Army escorted the prisoners and quickly retreated in the direction of Guishan County with the captured materials.
When the Ming army arrived on the battlefield, they only found that the battlefield was covered with the corpses of the Ming soldiers, and the stumps were flying everywhere, and the battlefield had been stained red with the blood of the Ming soldiers.
"Gross!"
Looking at such a tragic scene in front of them, the Ming soldiers and even the officers vomited directly, and many Ming soldiers turned their heads after taking a look, and couldn't bear to continue looking.
The most important thing is that after seeing such a tragic scene, the morale of the Ming army in this battalion plummeted, and the combat effectiveness dropped greatly.
The soldiers of the Ming army all knew that they were here to encircle and suppress the rebellious people, but the ordinary soldiers did not know the achievements of the People's Army, so they could easily encircle and suppress the rebellious people who did not have much combat effectiveness, and not many people would die.
Therefore, when carrying out their tasks, the soldiers talked and laughed, and did not pay attention to the People's Army at all.
It turned out that the enemy was not an ordinary rebel people, and the enemy was so strong that he could wipe out more than 3,000 people in a battalion of the front army so quickly, and even if the Ming army could exterminate the chaotic people, it would suffer heavy casualties.
Thinking of this, many Ming soldiers were worried and afraid, and no one could calm down in the face of death.
The faces of the soldiers changed, and the guerrilla general Tan Tianrui was full of solemnity, he knew that the situation on the battlefield here must be changed, otherwise the morale of the Ming army would also fall because of this tragic scene.
Tan Tianrui immediately sent his guards back to the Chinese army with a message to tell the chief soldier about the situation on the battlefield, and instructed the guard not to reveal the matter to anyone, and could only say it in front of the chief soldier.
After instructing the personal guards, Tan Tianrui ordered his own battalion of soldiers to clean up the battlefield, so that the morale of the Ming army coming from behind could not be affected because of this tragic battlefield.
After the orders were issued, Tan Tianrui looked to the east, his solemn face turned sad, Tan Tianrui knew that this battle was difficult, and the chaotic people in Guishan County were stronger than they imagined, no wonder they were able to capture six counties and destroy Jieshiwei.
Soon, Ren Jianxiu received a message from Tan Tianrui, knowing that the former army had been wiped out by the rebels, Ren Jianxiu's head seemed to explode.
"How is it possible, a battalion of 3,000 people, and they are all recruits, even if the rebels sneak attack, it is impossible to wipe out the entire army so quickly, how can the rebels be so strong."
"Our army can't defeat the rebels?"
"Impossible, how can the chaotic people be the opponent of the Ming army, the chaotic people will destroy the former army, and they will definitely suffer heavy casualties, I haven't been defeated yet!"
All kinds of thoughts flashed in Ren Jianxiu's mind, suppressed the worries in his heart and restored the momentum of the commander of the Ming army, and directly ordered Tan Tianrui's personal guards to rush back, telling Tan Tianrui's battalion to stay where they were, not to blindly pursue the enemy, wait to join the Chinese army, and at the same time probe the surrounding situation, and be careful of the chaotic people sneaking up again.
On this side, the Ming army became cautious because of a sneak attack and ambush by the People's Army, and on the other side, the People's Army was rushing to Guishan County, which was relatively flat and was the second battlefield chosen by Fang Nan.
It is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, with the city to defend, with nearly 4,000 troops and more than 500 recruits, there is no problem in resisting the Ming army, which has been reduced by 3,000 troops.
After sneaking up on the Ming army once, Fang Nan didn't think about ambushing the second time, such a thing once is enough, it is impossible to have a second time in a short time, and it is difficult to use a second time on the same Ming army.
With the first experience, this Ming army will definitely carefully probe the surrounding situation when marching, and will not give the People's Army a chance to ambush and sneak attack.
In fact, from the Ming army's capture of Yong'an County, Haifeng County, Jieshiwei and other battles, the People's Army was able to easily capture the target with a relatively small number of casualties, the most important thing is that the Ming Army did not know the existence of the People's Army, nor did it know the strength of the People's Army.
The enemy despised the KPA, but the KPA suddenly exerted its great strength and took down the enemy directly.
With the People's Army engaged the Ming army led by Ren Jianxiu, it will be difficult to rely on the enemy to defeat the enemy easily in the future.
At present, the territory of the People's Army is only six counties, with a population of about 500,000 under its rule, more than 10,000 soldiers who can fight, and the number of recruits may have exceeded 10,000.
And the Ming Dynasty, even if it loses tens of thousands of troops, still has a million troops, tens of thousands of Ming troops cannot destroy the People's Army, and next time it will send 50,000 or even 100,000 Ming troops over.
This time the Ming army will no longer be dismissive, and it will be more difficult for the KPA to defeat the next wave of enemies.
The Fangnan 1st Road People's Army has not yet returned to Guishan County, and the Tan Tianrui battalion has rejoined the Ming army.
At least the corpses and stumps of the Ming soldiers who died in the battle were not left on the battlefield, and the blood-stained soil could not be disposed of for the time being, and Tan Tianrui's battalion could not shovel away the soil in a short time.
It is enough to simply clean the battlefield, at least the other Ming soldiers of the Chinese army walked through this battlefield and did not see the corpses of their colleagues, which will not cause a drop in morale, and perhaps many Ming soldiers will think that this blood is a disorder.
Tan Tianrui's battalion and the Chinese army converged, and Tan Tianrui came to Ren Jianxiu again.
"General Tan, can you find something wrong on the battlefield?" Ren Jianxiu asked.
Tan Tianrui immediately replied: "Back to the commander-in-chief, when I cleaned up the battlefield, I found that the rebels may be equipped with a large number of firearms, but the rebels did not take away the guns equipped by the previous army, only artillery and ammunition, I don't know why." ”
On the battlefield, the People's Army took away the corpses of its own sacrificed soldiers, and Tan Tianrui probably found only this content.
Ren Jianxiu didn't care that the People's Army was equipped with a large number of firearms, because the Ming Army was equipped with more firearms.
