Chapter 279: You Advance and I Retreat

There were six agents from the People's Army in the Ming army facing the small unit on the East Road of the People's Army, and as the Ming army got closer and closer to the People's Army, the six agents were already acting almost unabashedly.

"Brothers, the People's Army is very strong, 50,000 horses are no match for the 10,000 People's Army, and the adults sent us here to die."

"When the battle comes, seeing that the people in front of us are about to die, we quickly lie on the ground, if we don't lie on the ground, it will soon be our turn to die, rest assured that the People's Army will not kill us."

"Damn, those adults have run to the back, leaving us in front to die, brothers, I don't want to die, you don't want to die, everyone voted for the People's Army together."

The six agents were all commanders in the Ming army, and the six agents directly united hundreds of people, indirectly united hundreds or even thousands of people, and the internal atmosphere of this Ming army became a little weird.

Six hundred meters

Four hundred meters

Two hundred meters

Fire!

Suddenly, the people's army fired guns and cannons, and hundreds of lead bullets and dozens of solid shells directly crashed into the Ming army's array, killing and wounding hundreds of Ming soldiers.

"Get down, get down, if you don't want to die, get down."

An agent who was at the front of the Ming army quickly lay on the ground while shouting, and the agent was surrounded by Ming soldiers who were united by him, and they saw a large number of people dead in front of them, and they froze slightly, and immediately fell to the ground after hearing Shi Chang's voice.

The attack of the People's Army did not stop, and waves of lead bullets came quickly, and the Ming army continued to fall down with bullets, basically three waves of lead bullets passed, and the front of the Ming army completely collapsed.

There were Ming troops running behind them frantically, and there were also Ming troops who learned from the people around them to lie on the ground together, and the collapse of the Ming army's front quickly affected the front army.

The general of the Ming army did not expect that his 10,000 people would be defeated so quickly, it was really a touch of collapse, he turned his horse's head while shouting to the people around him: "The thieves are strong, our army is not an opponent, retreat quickly!" Evacuate! ”

The generals of the Ming army ran away on horseback with their personal guards, and the other officers and commanders also followed the horseback and ran behind when they saw the strength of the People's Army.

"Brothers, the adults have all run away, we can't beat the KPA, if we don't fight, we throw our weapons on the ground and squat on the ground, and the KPA won't beat us."

There were also agents shouting in the chaotic Ming army, and soon dozens of Ming soldiers did the same, which also attracted more Ming soldiers to lay down their weapons and squat on the ground together, but more Ming soldiers chose to escape, they didn't know about the People's Army, and they were worried that they would be killed by the People's Army if they surrendered, so it was better to run back, maybe there was a greater chance of survival.

The first battle between the People's Army and the Ming Army came and went quickly, and the People's Army only fired three waves of lead bullets to defeat the Ming Army, and more than half an hour later, on the other side of the vast battlefield, the second battle between the People's Army and the Ming Army also came and went quickly, and the Ming Army that Li Chengliang thought of was really able to collapse at the first touch, but it was not that the Ming Army pretended to collapse at the touch of a button, but that the People's Army used its strength to defeat the Ming Army at the touch of a button.

The two Ming generals ran back to the capital city of Ganzhou and reported the battle situation to Li Chengliang.

"My lord, the thieves are very strong, and a few volleys of muskets will destroy our troops."

Li Chengliang didn't care about the actual battle scene described by the two Ming army generals, the two Ming armies were originally recruits, it was normal to be easily defeated by the People's Army, and the recruits were easily defeated, and it was not so simple to face the elite Ming Army, not to mention that his own strength was three times that of the People's Army, and when the time came, the People's Army would be defeated by his own side.

After the two skirmishes, the two KPA armies postponed their advances, on the one hand, to clean up the battlefield and deal with the prisoners, and on the other hand, to wait for the large forces behind.

The battle report from the front has been transmitted back to Wang Shengrong, and Wang Shengrong also saw that the Ming army sent two new soldiers to send them to death, and the main purpose was to let the people's army underestimate the enemy, lure the people's army to advance, and then fight with the Ming army.

The final result is also what Wang Shengrong wants, Wang Shengrong wants to defeat the Ming army Li Chengliang in a battle, then the rest of the things will be simple.

Wang Shengrong once again issued a military order, ordering a total of four divisions from the fifth to the eighth to leave behind heavy artillery regiments and baggage troops, and two divisions as one division, to break away from the large army and go around a large circle to the flank of the Ming army, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack on the flank of the Ming army.

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Divisions, which were the vanguards, joined up with the large army led by Wang Shengrong, and the 18 reorganized divisions were frontal combat units, preparing to engage the Ming army on the frontal battlefield.

Wang Shengrong's army was getting closer and closer to the area where Li Chengliang's army was stationed, and Li Chengliang's army finally moved, with nearly 500,000 men and horses across Nan'an Mansion and Ganzhou Mansion, pressing towards Wang Shengrong's army.

The marching speed of Li Chengliang's army in the front was very slow, the chariots were all in the front, and the heavy chariots seriously slowed down the marching speed of Li Chengliang's army, but Li Chengliang's army could not abandon the chariots, and the firearms of the People's Army posed too much threat to Li Chengliang's army.

During the march, the second day of the second month of February passed, and the morning of the third day of the second month also passed, and at noon on the third day of the second month, the front of Li Chengliang's army of 150,000 men and horses was about to meet Wang Shengrong's army.

Wang Shengrong sent two more divisions to advance lightly, fired several rounds of firearms salvos more than 500 meters away from the Ming army, and immediately retreated.

The commander of the 150,000 horses in the front of Li Chengliang's army is Li Rusong, the son of Li Chengliang, and he is also a rare general, the People's Army fired a few rounds of musket salvos, covered by the front chariots, and the Ming army was only a few dozen dead and wounded.

The large force of the People's Army is not far away, and Li Rusong's division has no chance to eat the two divisions of Wang Shengrong's department, and it is the right way to fight steadily.

Now the eyes of the Ming army are all on Wang Shengrong's army, and they don't notice that four divisions of Wang Shengrong's department have gone around in a big circle, and they are not far from the flank of Li Chengliang's army.

What kind of scene is it for the 500,000 army to gather together, densely packed, crowded with people, shouting in unison resounding through the heavens and the earth, and stomping their feet together as if an earthquake is coming.

A battle with a total number of 700,000 participants is also a number in history, and it is such a large-scale battle, which is about to break out between the Li Chengliang Department of the Ming Army and the Wang Shengrong Department of the People's Army!

Five miles

Four miles

Three miles

The front of Li Chengliang's army led by Li Rusong was getting closer and closer to Wang Shengrong's troops, and both sides were preparing for battle.

When the two armies were only two miles apart, Li Rusong was already eager to immediately lead the army to rush into the People's Army array to fight, but when the two armies continued to approach, Wang Shengrong actually ordered a retreat.

The Ming army advanced, the People's Army retreated, the two sides were separated by a distance of more than a mile, not increasing much or decreasing, Wang Shengrong was waiting, waiting for the four divisions that went around to the flank of the Ming army to launch an attack, and there were no chariots on the flank of the Ming army.
