Chapter 447: Tang Dynasty Soldiers (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The city wall is more than four meters high, how high is this, it is about two Yao Ming combined, of course, if it is Siniang, I am afraid that it will be three, well, you have to wear shoes that increase the height of the inside, if you don't wear it, the city wall means that you can crush three Si Niang, if Si Niang bends down, even if there are five or six, you can crush it.
Jumping from this height, life and death are unpredictable!
If the unlucky head hits the ground first, it must be dead and can't die anymore, but in most cases, the head hits the ground relatively rarely, and most of them still land with their feet first, or their bodies land horizontally.
Xu Jialun, the county magistrate of Rongxian County, obviously hadn't read the theoretical articles about jumping off the building, and he didn't know that he had to be headfirst down when jumping off the building as he was diving, he just jumped down one by one!
The results proved that the jumping theory studied by some experts who had a lot of pain was still relatively correct, Rongxian County ordered Xu Jialun to land with his left foot first, I don't know how many quarters of a second later, his right foot also hit the ground, and then came over to the body, and finally made a pop and raised a little dust.
Immediately after landing on the ground, the human body's natural nervous response will make painful self-protection actions, the body bows and curls up on the ground, and the screams are also heard at this time!
It's not screaming, it's not going to work!
Xu Jialun's jumping off the building, like the vast majority of people who jumped off the building by suicide, wanted to die is not so easy, in the end they all broke their hands and feet or something, and in the end they didn't even have the heart to die, and sighed the preciousness of life.
Anyone with a little surgical knowledge of both broken feet can tell at a glance from his twisted left ankle that this foot must have been comminuted and broken, and if you want to cure it, you can only have surgery and stuff a few steel pipes into it.
After recuperating for a few months after surgery, I can shout that Lao Tzu is still a hero!
It is a pity that Xu Jialun lived in the middle of the 16th century, the first year of Xuanping, the forty-first year of Zhengde, and the year 1546 of the Western calendar.
If nothing else, this Rongxian county commander Xu Jialun will have to become Xu Cripple in the future, if he can walk without a cane, he can walk by himself, then he has to give him a thumbs up, come to a sentence brother, you are awesome!
Xu Jialun jumped off the building, whether he died or not, whether he will become a cripple in the future is naturally something that few people care about except himself.
Outside the city, nearly 2,000 Ming troops had dispersed, some running towards the city gate, while others fled on both sides.
The puppet Tang thief army in the back was in hot pursuit, and there was even a hundred cavalry thief army that crossed the many running Ming troops and went straight to the city gate!
At the head of the city, Xu Jialun, the county commander of Rong County, jumped from the city gate tower in despair, and many other Rong County officials such as the rest of the county officials were you look at me, I look at you, and then they also scattered in a hurry and fled for their lives.
The officials have all run out, and the two or three hundred young men and a small number of Ming soldiers who were still stationed at the head of the city do not need to be ordered by others at this time, and they all already know that it is time for the big guys to flee for their lives.
Defending the city?
No kidding, you have to guard yourself, I'm going to run for my life anyway!
When Lu Yuzhi led more than 100 cavalry from the second cavalry battalion to run wildly, he even crossed the fleeing Ming troops in front of him and rushed to the city gate first!
Rongxian is not a strong city, just a small remote county, the city wall is not high and not thick, and the city gate is naturally not very strong, not to mention that the Ming army cannot really block the city gate completely, because they took the initiative to attack, and they had great confidence at the beginning.
So this city gate was just closed normally, and the back was not blocked, Lu Yuzhi arranged for more than a dozen people to slam it with a nearby giant tree several times, and then opened the broken city gate!
Then twenty or thirty people were sent to rush directly through the city gate!
According to common sense, under normal circumstances, Lu Yuzhi would not risk directly sending people to rush into the city, after all, cavalry cannot be used near the city gate with narrow terrain.
But when he hit the city gate, he had already found that the Ming army on the city had run out, and under the city gate, they also found a Ming army official with both legs broken and screaming in pain.
The seven-rank civil official in the ghost place of Rong County, who else could he be besides the county magistrate of Rong County, and immediately sent someone to bring him with him.
Since there was no Ming army guarding the city, he was naturally relieved to send his soldiers and horses to kill it!
At this time, the Ming army outside the city saw that the cavalry of the puppet Tang thief army had seized the city gate, and they dared to continue to go towards the city gate, all of them ran to both sides.
Seeing this, Lu Yuzhi snorted coldly: I still want to run at this time, it's too late!
Immediately led the other eighty or ninety cavalry under his command to rush out from the city gate, and his target was naturally the escape of the Ming army who were fleeing!
The two legs of the Ming army can outrun the four legs of the cavalry, and soon many Ming soldiers will be caught up!
The Ming army that was caught up was left with only two options, either be killed or surrender!
Lu Yuzhi's cavalry chased and killed, it can be said that the maximum power of the light cavalry was exerted, and everywhere it passed, the Ming army was killed one after another, and some of the Ming soldiers simply gave up their weapons and surrendered, and some tried to resist stubbornly, but most of them were in vain!
After tossing back and forth for a long time, the horses in their second cavalry battalion were tired and foamed, and then continued to forcibly chase and kill, I am afraid that these horses will be directly tired.
At this time, Lu Yuzhi ordered to stop the pursuit, and then return to the county seat!
When the cavalry was chasing outside, Li Chunjing had already led people into the county seat of Rongxian County first, and commanded the troops to capture various important places in the city.
In fact, the county seat of Rongxian County is the same as many remote small counties in this era, the urban area is very small, after the army enters the city, it will not take long to kill the important areas in the city, such as the county office, warehouse, school field, etc., in addition, the more than 100 young and strong people and dozens of Ming soldiers left behind in the city have already collapsed, and no one has resisted at all.
By the time it was close to evening, Lu Yuzhi had already begun to gather his troops and horses, because at this time the battlefield was also cleaned, and most of the Ming troops in the city were also cleared.
However, it was only limited to this, Li Chunjing did not deal with the wealthy families in the city and those low-level officials who were captured or took the initiative to surrender.
Because these things have little to do with him, but belong to the civil servants who are coming later.
Ma Wei, the prefect of Liuzhou Mansion of the Tang Dynasty, was in the army at this time, whether it was recruiting civil officials or governing the ground and many aftermath matters, it was Ma Wei's business, and it had little to do with Li Chunjing and his generals.
In order to prevent civilian officials from meddling in military affairs, and even more so to prevent generals from meddling in local government affairs, Li Xuan strictly demanded the separation of civil and military affairs from the very beginning.
The generals of the army are only concerned with fighting, but not with the affairs of governing the localities.
In the same way, civilian officials only have the power to govern the localities, and they do not have the slightest power to mobilize the army.
In short, everyone plays their own games, don't reach out and meddle in other people's business.
Therefore, Li Chunjing only controlled the inside and outside of Rong County, and issued a notice in the name of the military, and did not do much else.
That night, Hao Bonian, who was still on the road, also received a battle report from the Second Infantry Regiment that was passed back by Kuaima!
After reading the battle report, he didn't show too much joy, because Li Chunjing's battle report said that although the battle was won, and the results were huge, and his own casualties were only more than 100 people, but this still exceeded the expectations before the war!
And Li Chunjing also emphasized that the 3,000 Ming troops who fought with them were not ordinary guards or recruits, but the local Tusi army in Guangxi, which is commonly known as 'Yu Bing', also known as 'wolf soldiers'.
Li Chunjing believed that these soldiers could only be regarded as average in terms of tactics and the basic quality of the soldiers, and they were not stronger than most of the guards of the Ming army.
The seven-man tactics were not suitable for large-scale warfare, with too few spearmen in the front row, a lack of heavily armored spearmen, and a subordinate sword and shield bearers and crossbowmen who were often unable to provide much support to the spearmen in the front row in a head-to-head engagement.
And more importantly, among the seven people in this army, there are three people who are not engaged in combat missions, but are only responsible for cutting off the head, although this situation also exists in the Ming army, but it is not so serious!
Well, it is worth mentioning that this situation is absolutely not allowed in the Datang Wang Division, because the Datang Wang Division does not evaluate the results by the first level, but uses whether the task is successfully completed as the core basis for evaluating the combat merits, and secondly, the number of kills and injuries is only counted as the collective battle results.
Of course, if there is a soldier who is as fierce as a tiger and can kill many enemy troops in a solo fight, then he will definitely perform a separate exploit.
However, this situation is not common, and most of them are only seen in heavy armor sword and shield soldiers, as for spearmen, musketeers, archers, cavalry and other troops, they are all collective combat, for example, the musketeers hit the past in a round of guns, and a number of enemy troops fell on the opposite side, but who can tell who hits, they can't tell at all!
Li Chunjing did not have a high evaluation of the basic tactics of the soldiers, and his evaluation of the basic quality of the individual soldiers was not high!
But there is one point that the evaluation is extremely high, that is, the courage of the soldiers to fight to the death and not retreat, and said that if the soldiers in Guangxi are all of this standard, then the follow-up of their own army to fight in the south, I am afraid that they will encounter a lot of trouble!
Li Chunjing was worried about this, and Hao Bonian was also quite curious about this, and soon found Ma Wei, a native of Guangxi, and prepared to inquire in detail about the situation of these Tusi soldiers.
He even thought that if the soldiers were so good at fighting, would their own Tang Dynasty division also be able to recruit local natives to serve in the army and create a military force belonging to the Tang Dynasty?
