664 Watching monkey plays

At that moment, after Emperor Chongzhen discussed with Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian, he pulled out the camp and moved forward, took the initiative to choose a battlefield, and then waited for the rebels to arrive.

The two armies fought, and the scouts fought first. This alone made the rebels feel very much pressure.

The officials and soldiers of the imperial court do not accept it at night, it is really not the night they know. Its elite strength is that at the beginning, the rebel scouts were completely defeated. Later, the troops were accelerated, almost reaching the ratio of three to one, and the Ming army did not retreat slowly at night and get out of the way.

Regarding this situation, many Tusi believe that this must be the Imperial Forest Army of the Ming Emperor, and it is the elite who exterminated the Liaodong Jianyu that will be so strong. However, fortunately, the troops on their side are much larger than the imperial army, so they will have the confidence to continue to advance.

Of course, based on the understanding of the battle between the scouts on both sides, Sha Dingzhou, Wu Bikui and others also became more important. Along the way, they constantly instilled hatred in their subordinate troops, saying that their relatives had been killed by the imperial army, men, women, and children, as long as they were alive, and even rats were not spared.

I have to say that their statement still has a certain demagogic power. The imperial court army quelled the rebellion, and there would be so much benevolence and righteousness to talk about. For the imperial court, everything about the rebels deserves to be killed. Since ancient times, there have been many such things!

As a result, the closer they got to the imperial army, the more energetic these toasts bewitched, and the stronger the hatred of the imperial army in their army. And that's exactly what they expected. As long as the morale rises, no matter what the reason is, it will be the greatest guarantee for defeating the imperial army.

In this case, Dongwu General Tai Tai Tun also saw it in his eyes and was satisfied with his face. said to Wu Bikui in private: "Just look at the morale now, with the elite led by this general as the main force, and with your various armies, you will definitely be able to defeat the imperial army and capture the emperor of the Ming Kingdom alive!" ”

"It's a shame that the general arrived in time with the elite, otherwise, the army has no backbone, and I really don't know how to fight this battle!" Wu Bikui carefully patted Tai Tai Tun's ass and responded to him.

Sha Dingzhou also threw his allies aside, followed Tai Tai Tun, and when he heard what they were saying, he also interjected: "If you want me to say, the imperial army is all northerners, and they have never seen war elephants at all. When the general's fifty war elephants suddenly come out, those northerners will probably be stupid! ”

"That's it!" When Tai Tai heard this, he said proudly, "These fifty war elephants are war elephants that have been trained for a long time. Don't be afraid of shouting and killing, not afraid of gunfire! ”

It takes a lot of time and effort for elephants to be trained like this. It is only Dongwu who has this strength, and on the side of Yunnan Tusi, there is no one who has this strength and can train fifty such war elephants.

So, naturally, in the envious eyes of these toasts, there was another burst of sycophancy.

After two days, the two armies finally met.

Tai Tai Tun was able to be sent by King Dong Wu Talung, so he was naturally affirmed by King Ta Long. Controlling the speed of the march, when the two armies faced each other, it was just about noon, and when the army was on alert, the whole army was ready to eat and fight.

Before the military discussion, all the toasts were on the side of the Chinese army, and they surrounded Tai Tai Tun to watch the imperial army camp in the distance. At this glance, it was obvious that these toasts were in a little higher mood.

"Look, the imperial army is obviously not as strong as ours, now I am finally relieved!"

"Not only is there not as many troops as us, it can be said that everyone can drown them with a soak of urine!"

"I've always been very accurate in this way, and I estimate that we are four times the strength of the imperial army. Four to one, plus there is a large army of Dongwu here, this battle will be won! ”

“……”

Ordinary people fight wars based on the size of the forces of both sides, and feel that those with more troops have a greater chance of winning.

If the level is higher, the elite degree of the two armies will be compared. For example, Sha Dingzhou, as well as Wu Bikui, the leaders of the rebel Tusi, they paid more attention to the comparison of the elites of the two armies.

However, at this time, the distance was a little far, but from the camp, as well as the temptation of the forwards on both sides, the defense of the camp, etc., they had to admit that the elite level of the imperial army, at least in terms of ordnance and equipment, was much stronger than their side.

Not to mention anything else, just the military uniforms have always been, on the side of the rebels, under the various Tusi, there are all kinds of clothes, all kinds of clothes, just like an army of all nations. On the side of the imperial army, they are all uniform uniforms, one color of red, and they are mighty when they look at it.

As the nominal alliance leader and deputy alliance leader, they had to remind them when they heard those toasts who had no level to speak. Of course, because Taitai is here, naturally he can't depreciate his own strength, and it's not cost-effective to reduce morale.

After a period of deliberation, each toast turned back to his army and began to prepare for the decisive battle in the afternoon. As Taytayton said, end the war before dark, so that you can rest well at night.

About half an hour later, the sound of the horn of "Woo Woo Woo" was remembered, the war drums of "Knock Knock Knock" were also beaten, and the shout of "Roar Roar" filled the world and the earth.

The Tusi army, on the left and right sides of the Dongwu army, came out of formation. Judging from the momentum of this opening, it is indeed very sufficient. Coupled with the large number of people, it seems that they are the only ones performing in this world.

The army gathered, and then slowly pressed in front of the imperial army.

Nguyen Phuc Quang and those Portuguese were in the army of Dinh Chau, pushing two Hongyi cannons and also advancing. This kind of war, they didn't want to participate in in the originally. However, now they are no longer able to do so, and if the imperial army hides in the camp and does not come out, they need to use the remaining two Hongyi cannons to bombard. This is Tai Tai Tun's military order, and if he is not willing, he must carry it out.

As soon as a cannon rang out, the imperial army obviously had no intention of shrinking into the camp.

The camp gate opened, and groups of Ming soldiers swarmed out, also lined up in the open space in front of the camp. Judging from the banner, there is the Qin army led by Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, and the guard army led by Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. The last thing that appeared was the imperial flag of the Ming Emperor.

In terms of troops, on the side of the imperial army, the three armies of chariots, infantry and horses are complete, while on the side of the rebels, they are basically infantry troops. The rest of the troop is pitifully few.

It should be that the previous brainwashing had an effect, seeing the court officials and soldiers appear in front of me, among the Tusi troops whose nests were served, those soldiers all showed hateful eyes one by one, and the hands holding the rudimentary weapons were very strong, and they could see the green tendons popping up. There were even some soldiers who had red eyes.

When the two sides were in formation, Tai Tai Tun sat down on a war elephant and screamed, declaring his might to the Ming army. Just like an orangutan, when it encounters an opponent, it will beat its own chest first and let out a roar to kill people first.

When the other toasts saw it, they all shouted in the same way.

This situation is also a common thing in the war between the toasts, and they are also accustomed to it, and they feel that it is also very effective.

Nearly 200,000 troops, all of whom shouted together, this momentum is indeed not small. If you haven't seen the scene, you will definitely be frightened by this momentum.

However, what they are facing is the current Ming Emperor, who is invincible in the south and in the north, and how many enemies are destroyed. The big scene I have seen can really be described in one sentence: I have eaten more salt than these toasts have eaten rice.

Seeing the rebels like this at this time, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, as if he was watching a monkey show!

After just looking at it for a while, a general beside him who was familiar with the situation in Yunnan told him about the Tusi military situation in front of him. Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen made an order, and soon a brocade guard hurried back to the camp.

It didn't take long for many people to come out of the imperial barracks.

On the rebel side, they were naturally watching the movements of the imperial army. Suddenly, there were quite a few more people coming out, and of course they were the first to pay attention.

At this glance, they were immediately surprised. Because although it is not clear from a distance, many people who come out are not wearing Ming army uniforms, but miscellaneous clothes, just like the rebels, this situation is still very conspicuous.

When they came out of the barracks, they came nearer to the battle. Finally, the sharp-eyed ones first saw who it was.

At this moment, they were dumbfounded. The two armies fought, and a group of old men and women suddenly appeared in front of this formation, and some half-sized children, what is the situation?

After a while, many of the rebels noticed that the clothes on the other side were very similar to them, and some people had begun to recognize who was on the other side.

"My lord, those people who appeared in front of the Ming army seem to be those serfs who stayed at home!" Someone immediately reported to their toast, such as here in Shadingzhou.

When Sha Dingzhou heard this, he was immediately taken aback. But he didn't know him, and he could only tell one or two from his clothes. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't know him, at this time he can already hear his subordinates shouting "Daddy, Auntie" or something, and he understands that the news is correct.

He was certainly taken aback by this situation. Needless to say, it must have been the officials and soldiers of the imperial court who wanted to blackmail them to break their morale.

Thinking so, Sha Dingzhou first came back to his senses, with a hideous face, and immediately had an idea, and immediately rode his horse in front of his army, pointed at those serfs with a horsewhip, and shouted: "See, there is no good thing in the government, and they will kill our family members in front of the battle to threaten us!" Surrender is death, not surrender is death, in front of the two armies, even if you want to save it, you can't save it. For the sake of today's plan, kill the dog official, kill the dog emperor, and avenge them! ”

Hundreds of thousands of people fighting, such a big scene, and the Ming army was by the side of those people, anyone who saw it understood that there was no chance to save it. Suddenly, their eyes were red.
