Chapter 538: Yan'an Pursuit
On the morning of the same day, there were bursts of gunfire and artillery outside the south gate of Yan'an City, and Batel led the soldiers and horses of the Li Zi Battalion to fight with the rebel army, and the contact battle was not easy to fight, and the expansion of more than 1,000 soldiers was only more than 300 guns, and the two sides lost two trenches after a battle, and the Li Zi Battalion soldiers had retreated to the third line of defense
It was very difficult to command these soldiers, and it was useless to tear their throats, but fortunately they were no better to charge, and the rebels were no better, and when they heard the sound of artillery, they all lay down and did not dare to charge
If the fight continues like this, the team will collapse, Battle scolded and scolded in vain, but in vain, the rebel army had several artillery pieces roaring angrily, but it was enough to frighten people, the artillery was too far apart, and they couldn't see each other, which made Cheng Kun have no way to deal with the enemy's few artillery
Thick smoke rose in the city of Yan'an, black clouds filled the air, more and more rebels rushed out of the city gate, and the posture was irreversible
In the forward position, Cheng Kun Mao marched to Battle's side and shouted: "Ba Battalion Officer, the enemy is desperate to break through from us, the hard top is not good, the soldiers will not be able to withstand it, we will give way and release the enemy, and I will lead those straw bales to the city to fight the fire, and you will lead the main force to follow Lei Heng."
"Waste bastard" Battle looked at the front fortifications and shot soldiers, without even aiming, loaded the bullets, stretched out the barrel of the gun and shot indiscriminately, this battle could not be fought, if the enemy launched a charge, the team would collapse, helplessly: "Listen to you, I will lead the cavalry to destroy part of the enemy, and order the front-line team to withdraw"
"Catch Lei Heng, we must not let this kid escape from the palm of our hands, Li Ziying can't afford to lose this face," Cheng Kun confessed, and ran to the forward position to command the troops to retreat
There are many veterans of the Li Zi Battalion on the front line, if these people die and the team will not be able to lead the fight to the third round, the officers and soldiers of the Li Zi Battalion will not be able to carry it, carry the Li Zi banner and withdraw from the battlefield, give the main road to the rebel army, and give the rebel army a way to escape
Rushing to kill the army, the momentum is like a rainbow, the rebel army is moving forward, it seems to be like a complete formation, the forward battalion is brave and tenacious, the flanks are careful to protect the Chinese army's grain and straw, there are many vehicles, and even women sit in the carriage, the rebel army team pulls into a fan to occupy the initiative, fights for their lives, and moves forward to form three camps, and there are groups of ordinary people behind them, dragging their families and mouths, and the number of followers exceeds tens of thousands
The veteran Battle led more than 400 cavalry away from the battlefield, did not dare to approach the enemy, the large army of rabble was numerous, and there were guns and cannons, and a desperate momentum was formed on the battlefield, and even the veteran soldiers formed the Li Zi battalion, and did not dare to touch the tiger whiskers of the rebel army
The sentry commander Zhang Haojie was so anxious that he tightened the reins of his horse and said hurriedly: "The enemy of the Ba Battalion has broken through in the direction of Ganquan County, where our army's defense is weak, what should we do?"
Battle roared urgently: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not in a hurry, don't hurt the enemy, our move to preserve our strength will be criticized, Master Li will not use us in the future, send me a ranger to find a soft persimmon, we will eat a bite of meat first, and then find a way to eat the fat sheep in one bite."
Battelle adheres to Li Guolou's concept, and if he does not fight with the enemy as a last resort, Li Guolou is not a general soldier, he can recruit thousands of soldiers and horses, and the regular establishment of the Li Zi battalion is only one strengthened battalion, and the available soldiers under the command of the battalion have just begun to take shape, and now they are disabled, and it is difficult to explain when they go back
Battle was quite helpless, the enemy soldiers were strong, the horses were strong, and the army was overwhelmed, and he had only more than 400 soldiers available, and those people were overwhelmed, and the enemy suddenly broke through and burned down the granaries in Yan'an City, so many rebel troops went out of the city, like a wild horse that was unleashed, and it would be diverted into countless scourges, and the local bandit armed forces would not be able to fight him, and there was no bottom in his heart, and more than 400 cavalry would be surrounded and eaten by the enemy if he was not careful
Battle didn't have Li Guolou's scheming, just did things according to Li Guolou's plan step by step, originally put the baggage battalion officer Lei Heng was prepared for the sudden rebellion of the members of the Elders' Association, so he made emergency measures in a short time, but now the situation is treacherous, thousands of rebels rushed out of Yan'an City, which made him unable to fight, or if he didn't fight, there would be troubles, and where the war would develop next, so he was at a loss, so he could only disperse the cavalry around him into several small units, and harassed the rebel army and small units along the way
The rebel army was divided into countless small units, of varying strength, the old, weak, sick, and the brutal, and the mob were very far behind, and these people carried large swords and spears to the rear, and even the weapons and food bags in their hands could not be carried on their backs, and dragged the large army behind
For these useless anti-thief rangers first began to harass, constantly cavalry put a shot to spy on the enemy's reality, and finally found out the details, this is a weak cannon fodder Li Ziying cavalry dispatched, urging the war horses to roll forward, the yellow clouds covered the battlefield, the ground moved, the sound of horse hooves stirred, stirring people's hearts
More than 400 cavalrymen formed a siege on more than 3,000 mobs, many of whom were residents of Yan'an who dragged their families and mouths, their homes were destroyed, and they wanted to live with the rebels, but when the war came, how could the rebels take care of these burdens and let these families fend for themselves
The sound of gunfire is endless, one after another, the mob is killed, on the green grassland, the Qing army uses the tactics of wolves and sheep to drive away these mobs, the Qing army seems to have not seen the enemy kneel and surrender, and if he wants to shoot, he will shoot, and the horses' hooves will rise up and trample all living beings, this is war, there is no benevolence and righteousness, there is no moral restraint, as long as the commander gives an order, the soldier will become a killing machine, and he will not talk about emotion, and the so-called righteous teachers are good at this, and everything is attributed to the war or even to the hands of the enemy, knowing the truth, people are either dead on the ground, or people who participated in the massacre, and people who follow the rebels out of the city are all anti-thieves, and they should be killed
Battle vented his anger at losing a battle, these mobs wanted to slaughter these mobs, the battlefield was all dead, at least one or two thousand people were dead, and suddenly there were gunshots in the distance on the yellow earth, and it should be that the two teams exchanged fire
The rangers came to report that Yang Dawazi's men and horses exchanged fire with the rebel army, and the battle was fierce, and the left flank loess gang was inextricably fought
Battle's face changed in vain and he shouted: "Stop shooting, Wei Qun led a group of men and horses to gather prisoners of war, blow the rallying trumpet, light up the flag for me, and prepare to hit the enemy on the left flank."
Battle was clever and clever when he carried out the massacre, and now he had to cooperate with friendly forces to fight, and immediately showed the banner of Li Zi, and more than 1,000 civilians, children, women and children were left on the battlefield to save their lives, the battle was full of variables, and the prisoners became Qing soldiers, treated the enemy well, witnessed the life and death of prisoners of war, and the war was full of uncertainty in the first thought, and more than 1,000 civilians survived
Women and children wept bitterly, sad and ill-fated, full of corpses, bloodstained, vast and messy, that banner of avoiding death came too late, why did the Li Zi banner arrive, more than 1,000 civilians, children, women and children survived, and they were also glad to meet Li Zi to rescue the Bodhisattva
Yang Dawazi fought desperately, led one hundred and eighty cavalry to pursue the rebels, Mu San led more than 1,000 recruited infantry to follow, Yang Dawazi originally wanted to attack Yan'an City, but did not expect a fire to make them defenseless, although they have occupied three grain warehouses, but in order to prove their innocence and the rebels fight to the death, it is inevitable, so Yang Dawazi and Mu San discussed, and he followed the fleeing rebels, looking for fighters to fight
Yang Dawazi led one hundred and eighty horsemen, urging the war horses to catch up with a group of rebels, seeing that the rebels were out of shape, the fighter plane was fleeting, and an order was given to stop a rebel army and cut off the cavalry, giving full play to the characteristics of mobility and flexibility, one hundred and eighty cavalry seemed to be far more than that, Yang Dawazi only used this little man and horse to stir up more than 1,000 rebels, and the more than 1,000 rebels could not be dragged on the plain by Yang Dawazi
Yang Dawa was not in a hurry, he knew that Battle's troops were nearby, and Mu San led more than 1,000 infantry to the battlefield, this battle he also won, after a round of killing, he no longer charged, but used a dense platoon of guns to shoot to stop the rebels from fleeing, his subordinates are all veterans, seize the initiative on the battlefield, and suppress more than 1,000 rebels on the plain, so that the rebels can taste the power of the platoon guns, and the rebels will not dare to show their heads again
"Grandma, a group of rabble, this group of waste still wants to rebel," Yang Dawazi couldn't believe that the rebel army was too weak, it should be a weak soldier, Lei Heng led the members of the Elders' Association to revolt in a hurry, and even the army didn't have time to train in a hurry, so the rebels were the opponents of the Qing army, he could have learned that the Chu army was powerful, if he met the Chu army, he was not even an opponent, the soldiers and horses were quite talkative, and he was defeated and defeated, and he was secretly glad that this time his brain had no impulse, and he did not betray the Qing Dynasty again, otherwise he would follow Lei Heng's rebellion and would definitely embark on a road of no return
In the distance, there was a burst of military horns, using the Western military horn, which way the army was, the two sides were clear on the battlefield, and the mentality of both sides immediately changed
The rebel commander Liu Mingqi tore his throat and was not willing to charge, and the two Goshha next to him made eye changes to each other, and rushed forward, one Goshha snatched the weapon in the hand of the commander Liu Mingqi, and the other Goshha punched Liu Mingqi in the head
It is inconceivable that Goshha rebelled, that is, the master died and the soldier should block the bullet for the master, but it shows that these elders are deeply disgusted by the eldest brother Lei Heng for killing Gao Liansheng, and their hearts are full of contradictions, and many members of the Brotherhood are vacillating between loyalty and national righteousness, but at this time, loyalty and righteousness are victorious over national righteousness, since there is a name and a legitimate reason, and the war is unfavorable, they immediately fight back
"Mom, tell you to poison your hands", there have already been more than a dozen Goshha beating Liu Mingqi at this moment, all of them have become supporters of justice and the Qing Dynasty, and every punch and kick is to avenge the lord Gao Liansheng
More than 1,000 rebels suddenly fought back on the battlefield, so that the two Qing armies won the battlefield and the division should have embraced each other warmly, at this time, Yang Dawazi was scolding Battle angrily and said: "Battle, are you eating shit, why can't you grit your teeth and hold on for a while, you can't beat this waste, and you still boast that you have 3,000 soldiers and horses, you see how many men and horses I have."
Battle has a grievance and has nowhere to say, the facts are in front of him, he let go of the avenue and let the rebels escape, if there are heavy casualties, it is reasonable to say that it is bad, it is bad to preserve strength, and the idea is serious, this is a taboo in an army, and it must not be exposed, and this person cannot afford to lose this person
"Yang Da, you don't understand the situation, I only have five hundred cavalry, the others are all captured people, where do I have three thousand people, a thousand men and horses, just a thousand people, the main strength of the rebel army is strong, more than 10,000 people, foreign guns and grenades are full, and there are more than a dozen cannons, Li Ziying has suffered heavy casualties," Battle opened his eyes and said nonsense, and absolutely refused to expose Li Ziying
Yang Dawazi was extremely satisfied with the battle situation, but he didn't give up: "Go back to you to settle accounts and settle accounts with Yan'an, and you will be fully responsible for the defeat of Yan'an"
Battle lamented: "Yes, yes, Yang Da, it's not good, I will definitely atone for my sins"
"Bullshit, how do you atone for your sins, now you know where Lei Heng's main force has fled," Yang Dawazi looked at the dim southern wilderness, and the rebels fled into countless troops, and there were thousands of rebels fleeing on the vast loess high slopes, and the pursuit battle cost the people and money, and they would definitely gain little
