Chapter 252: Bloody Battle of Huanggongling (5)

The southern slope of the Huanggong Mountains.

The army of thieves on the east road took advantage of the opportunity of more than 4,000 Mongolian iron cavalry to light the enemy's wave battle, and more than 70,000 thieves swarmed up, surrounded the Mongolian iron cavalry, and finally annihilated all the Mongolian iron cavalry at the cost of more than 20,000 people.

After that, the army of thieves on the east road took advantage of the victory and killed the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp and the main barracks of Yanzhou Mansion on the southern slope.

At this time, General Dai Jingkui had already reorganized more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion, but due to the excessive losses of the soldiers of the Beijing battalion in this battle, the phalanx formed was already somewhat incomplete, and it was probably not enough to continue to fight the thief army head-on.

So, Sun Xu took the initiative to lead the Yanzhou Mansion Battalion to line up in front of him, protecting the soldiers of the Beijing camp behind, and immediately won the support of the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

Dai Jingkui, a staff general, saw the flag sent by the watchman car from the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks, and learned that more than 70,000 thieves had been killed, and it didn't take long for him to see the army all over the mountains and fields rushing over, so he ordered the soldiers of each battalion to prepare for battle.

However, what the generals Dai Jingkui and Sun Xu didn't expect was that those thieves directly equipped the thousands of captured war horses, temporarily formed a team of thousands of horses, and killed the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks phalanx.

Seeing this, Sun Xu couldn't help frowning, but fortunately, he was prepared in advance when he was arrayed, and pushed all the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots with the army up, forming a solid defense line in front of the phalanx.

The boards of these Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots were all with sharp iron spikes, and the bird gunners of each department relied on the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots, aiming at the approaching thief and horse team.

The Blademen and Thunderbolts, on the other hand, stand by behind the Birdmen, ready to launch a counterattack.

The Thief Horse Team was the first to approach the phalanx, only a little more than a hundred paces away.

"Ready! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

A roar sounded, and thick gunpowder smoke rose in front of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Chariot in an instant, and countless lead bullets swept through the thieves and horses in front of them like a torrential rain, and immediately beat the hundreds of thieves and horses in front of them into a sieve.

Subsequently, these hundreds of people rode like a barricade wall, blocking the horse team coming from behind, and with the blessing of the continuous shooting of lead bullets, the thief brigade fell down one after another in front of the defense line of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Chariot, like a massacre!

And the tens of thousands of thieves were also blocked, unable to cross the thousands of horses in front of them and rushed forward, the entire front of the battlefield became extremely chaotic, tens of thousands of thieves and thieves crowded together, like a pot of porridge.

At this time, Sun Xu saw the opportunity and immediately ordered the thunder throwers to attack, and hundreds of mine throwers were also ruthless, rushing to the front of the thieves and thieves, and constantly throwing earth-shattering thunder towards the chaotic crowd.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

As the explosion sounded, the thieves and horses suffered heavy casualties, and the brigade in the rear also suffered, and many thieves were blown to pieces, with broken hands and feet.

And the hundreds of thunderers were also counterattacked by the thieves, and there were also many archers in the thief brigade, at this time they all released arrows to shoot the thunderers in the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks, although the mine-throwers were wearing heavy armor, but there were still many soldiers who were shot in the neck, legs and feet, and fell to the ground in pain.

Seeing it from afar, Sun Xu was immediately furious, and directly ordered the whole army to move forward and began to press the enemy position.

"Forward!"

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

More than 4,000 soldiers roared in unison, pushed away the defense line of the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot, rushed out, and pressed up against the already chaotic army of thieves.

Soon, Sun Xu led the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks to engage the army of thieves.

I saw hundreds of long knife hands roaring angrily and rushing into the thief array, and a huge hole was torn out in an instant.

Then Meng Fanchen and other thousand generals led the orthodox nine-year-old bird guns with good bayonets in their hands to advance in formation, like a huge city wall constantly advancing.

Tens of thousands of thieves and bandits were unable to resist the onslaught of the Yanzhou Mansion Barracks!

General Dai Jingkui saw it from afar and laughed and said: "Liu Guji's subordinates are all fierce generals!" In this battle, our army will win! ”

After speaking, the general Dai Jingkui led more than 10,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion to cover up and kill, followed by Sun Xu's department and rushed all the way to fight fiercely, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers attacked all the way, and drove tens of thousands of thieves all the way down the southern slope of the Huanggong Mountains.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu also led the soldiers of their headquarters to defeat the 50,000 thieves in front of them, beheading more than 20,000 people, and the remaining 20,000 thieves also collapsed on the spot.

Seeing this, Deng Maoqi was also anxious, and immediately pushed the reorganized 120,000 army onto the battlefield, of which 100,000 troops rushed directly from the left flank of the battlefield, and the remaining 20,000 troops were left by Deng Maoqi's side.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao was not afraid at all, and ordered Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu to continue to lead the army to attack head-on, driving the defeated soldiers of the thieves in front of them to attack the thieves' main formation.

At the same time, Liu Juntao urgently ordered Zhou Zongsheng to lead the iron cavalry battalion of the Yushan Town Escort to attack from the right flank of the battlefield and penetrate directly into the thief's main formation, in order to prevent Deng Maoqi from escaping.

After deploying the countermeasures, Liu Juntao led the Yanzhou Mansion Qi Barracks to meet the left flank of the battlefield, preparing to invite an army of 100,000 thieves!

Qian Zong Bai Yuxing and Qian Zong Tao Jixin each led the lead in the formation, and the rest of the soldiers also stepped forward in formation.

This time, Liu Juntao did not use the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot to form a formation, but led the army to directly meet and launch a charge, more than 4,000 soldiers marched forward in formation, and suddenly the murderous spirit was even more terrifying than the 100,000 thieves army who rushed over!

"Stop!"

"Prepare the firecrackers! Preparation! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

After several rounds of volleys, the army of 100,000 thieves who rushed over collapsed directly, and they roared and fled in front of the Yanzhou Mansion Qi Barracks, like countless flies, which was spectacular.

It is no wonder that these 100,000 thieves army was originally reorganized by defeated soldiers, not only is their morale low, but they also have no structure between each other, they are just some defeated soldiers, and it is not surprising that they collapsed on the spot after being bombarded by all the soldiers.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao immediately ordered the whole army to charge, all the bird-swordsmen were on bayonets, hundreds of long swordsmen and hundreds of mine-throwers opened the way in front, and more than 4,000 soldiers were like angry tigers, pounced on the defeated army of thieves all over the mountains, and drove the defeated soldiers of thieves and robbers to rush towards their own formation.

At this time, Deng Maoqi saw that the middle and left flanks had been defeated, and the officers and troops had already been killed in two ways, and the battle was already powerless, so he was ready to lead the 20,000 troops of the formation to retreat immediately, and rush back to the Huanggongling defense line first.

Suddenly, Deng Maoqi saw in horror that the right flank of the battlefield was filled with smoke and dust, and countless officers and soldiers rushed over with a roar, killing them towards their own formation.

"Withdraw!"

Deng Maoqi screamed, and he was about to lead 20,000 thieves to flee north.

However, Zhou Zongsheng had already led his troops to rush to the front, how could he let the thief leader Deng Maoqi escape?

I saw Zhou Zongsheng roaring: "Three-eyed gun!" ”

The three thousand soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Battalion raised the three-eyed guns in their hands one after another, and the hundreds of iron cavalry soldiers who rushed to the front directly took out the fire fold, and lit the three-eyed guns on the galloping horses!

At this time, the Iron Cavalry Battalion had already rushed into the thieves' main formation, and the three-eyed guns in the hands of hundreds of soldiers roared, and the firepower of hundreds of people was comparable to that of thousands of firecrackers, and a large number of thieves were shot in an instant.

Deng Maoqi was under the escort of hundreds of thieves, preparing to flee north, when he was suddenly subjected to a volley of soldiers from the Iron Cavalry Battalion, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that the blood in his chest was gushing continuously, and he fell to the ground and died before he could scream!

Deng Maoqi was shot and killed by the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Battalion, and the surrounding thieves suddenly blew up their nests and fled in all directions, Zhou Zongsheng saw Deng Maoqi's handsome flag falling, and he also laughed and shouted: "The thief is dead!" Kill me! ”

It didn't take long for Liu Juntao, Zhang Xiaojun, and Yan Hu to lead the army to kill the thieves in their own formation, and together with the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Battalion of the Yushan Town Guard, the four battalions of soldiers and horses surrounded hundreds of thousands of thieves, and then launched an encirclement and suppression!

An hour later, the war ended, the whole battlefield was full of corpses, rivers of blood, Deng Mao's seven divisions of hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and in the end only more than 30,000 thieves were taken prisoner, and the rest of the thieves and horses were all killed, which can be described as extremely tragic!

The casualties of the officers and troops were also not small, more than 4,000 Mongolian iron cavalry troops were wiped out, and thousands of soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp were lost, leaving only more than 16,000 people; And the soldiers and horses of the battalions under Liu Juntao also suffered heavy casualties, and the battalions together suffered more than 2,000 casualties, most of which were casualties suffered in close combat!
