Chapter 236: The Great Scuffle

.〕8)1〉

The three-sided officers and soldiers were killed, and the cavalry led by Li Guo was still rushing back and forth in the formation, disrupting the formation, and blooming everywhere, and the rebels were even more chaotic, and there was no longer a formed team to resist, and there were rebels running everywhere, and there was a ghost crying wolf howling everywhere, and everyone was desperately trying to escape from this terrifying battlefield.

After a while, Mo Li personally led the army to arrive, and more soldiers of the new Liao army joined the battlefield, chasing and slashing the fleeing rebels.

Ma Shouying took the lead in running to the right with his own soldiers, Yangjiagou is a three-way intersection here, and the road on the right leads to Wufeng Shibaosi, Ma Shouying knew that Wang Jiayin, He Yilong and others had fled to Wufeng Shibaosi before, so they wanted to run to meet it.

Mo Li personally led the army to pursue Ma Shouying, and killed Ma Shouying's rebels all the way to the point that they fled, throwing away their armor and abandoning their armor.

Ma Shouying fled with the remnants of the embarrassed lifeless, Mo Li led the army to chase after him, and at a glance, the avenue from Yangjiagou to Wufeng Shibaosi was full of running crowds, and the rebels were crying wolves in front of them and crawling, crying dad and shouting mother, and the officers and soldiers were chasing and slashing in the back.

Seeing that they could not escape, many rebels hurriedly turned around and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. The soldiers of the New Liao Army did not look at them, let them kneel on the ground, passed past them, and continued to chase the other rebels.

When the Ma family village was encircled and suppressed before, Mo Li's order was that the chickens and dogs would not stay, that was because the Ma family village was too evil, and the Ma family village was only a few thousand people at most, and it was nothing to really kill them all, at most he was infamous as a brutal general, but it could effectively deter the landlords and horse thieves from all over Huguang, so that they would be terrified when they heard the name of the new Liao army, and Mo Li's goal was achieved.

But now Ma Shouying's troops are more than 60,000 people, and if so many people also carry out the order of not leaving chickens and dogs, the 20,000 or 30,000 people of the new Liao army may not be able to handle it. It's 60,000 pigs, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to kill them all, let alone people, or people with weapons in their hands.

It's really forcing them to be anxious, if these 60,000 rebels fight with you regardless of life and death, the new Liao army is not afraid, and Mo Li is sure that it can achieve the final victory, but the casualties paid will also be very large, which is not a good thing for the new Liao army, and it is also what Mo Li does not want to see.

Therefore, Mo Li ordered people to pass down the order, once the rebels surrendered, they should not kill any more prisoners, and let them feel that surrendering the officers and soldiers was the only way to live. If you surrender and can't survive, then anyone will definitely fight with their lives.

60,000 people fighting for their lives, that's not a joke.

As a result, under the fierce pursuit and slashing of the new Liao army all the way, while killing countless rebels, the follow-up auxiliary soldiers such as the baggage soldiers and the soldiers sent by the Changyang County Ya to assist in the suppression of thieves also received no less than three or four thousand rebel prisoners.

Ma Shouying ran all the way in a panic, and ran out of more than 30 miles, and suddenly saw that the hillside in front of him was suddenly dusty, and the sound of killing was loud, but he saw thousands of soldiers and horses fighting each other on the hillside, and the battle was fierce.

Ma Shouying was shocked, and in a panic, he didn't see clearly who was fighting in front of him, but he faintly saw a few big flags with the same red background and black letters as the officers and soldiers behind him, as well as countless red figures.

Ma Kuntian, the subordinate general who followed closely behind Ma Shouying, suddenly shouted: "Handsome! It's your own people! It's your own people! ”

Ma Shouying fixed his eyes, and sure enough, it was He Yilong's peasant army who was fighting fiercely with the official army.

It seems that the rebels of He Yilong's army still have a slight upper hand, and tens of thousands of horses have forced the officers and troops in front of them to only parry.

Ma Shouying and He Yilong are also old friends, and when they saw it, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone over to meet and contact He Yilong.

The officers and soldiers who fought fiercely with He Yilong and other rebels were the cavalry of the New Liao Army led by Cao Bianjiao. Due to the need to seize time to block the way for the rebels to flee west, Cao Bianjiao's unit did not carry heavy weapons, no artillery, only hundreds of rockets and some grenades.

In the afternoon, Cao Bianjiao led his troops to Chajiayuan, just arrived, and before he could catch a few breaths, Wang Jiayin, He Yilong and others led 70,000 or 80,000 southbound rebels to flee here.

Chajiayuan is a small town, and a small river meanders through the east mouth of the town, and Cao Bianjiao's cavalry engaged in a fierce battle with the rebels on the south bank of the small river.

The small river is called the Baishui River, about four or five zhang wide, and the deepest part can reach nearly two zhang, and now in early spring, the river is still cold to the bone, and it is impossible to swim through.

There is only one wooden bridge on the river that can be paralleled by four horsemen, after Cao Bianjiao took a shortcut to the south bank, he sent troops to guard this wooden bridge, and if the rebels wanted to cross and continue west, only the cavalry that defeated Cao Bianjiao could cross the bridge.

Therefore, Wang Jiayin, He Yilong and others ordered their subordinates to frantically attack the new Liao army of Cao Bianjiao's department, wanting to seize the bridge and cross the river and flee into Shizhouwei.

Although Wang Jiayin and other rebels were on the run, they still carried hundreds of artillery pieces of all kinds, and Wang Jiayin knew that the New Liao Army was powerful, so he ordered people to open the artillery at the beginning and launch artillery strikes on the New Liao Army.

Cao Bianjiao's department was all cavalry, and the advantage of the cavalry was the degree, originally, it was difficult for the rebels' miscellaneous artillery to cause much damage to the cavalry. However, due to the long-distance attack of Cao Bianjiao's troops for most of the day, the physical strength of the war horse was very high, and the horse was already much slower at this time, so that many cavalry were injured by the artillery fire of the rebels.

Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly ordered his subordinates to take out rockets and shoot back at the rebels. For a time, the artillery was flying, the war horses were neighing, and the rockets of the new Liao army also brought great damage to the dense crowd of rebels.

After the artillery bombardment lasted for half an hour, the ammunition on both sides was not very sufficient, and it gradually thinned out. The horses of Cao Bianjiao's cavalry also got half an hour's rest, and their physical strength recovered, so Cao Bianjiao waved his halberd and led the cavalry to rush up, like a vicious wolf rushing into the flock, fiercely biting and killing.

The new Liao army and the rebels set up a battle on the south bank of the Baishui River, and the rebels' artillery was basically dumb, but the grenades of the cavalry of the new Liao army only began to appear at this time, as a group of cavalry rushed into the rebel formation, the officers and soldiers threw the grenades into the enemy formation, and the cold and beautiful blood-colored flowers bloomed among the rebels.

The rebels were suddenly bombed and screamed and chaotic. Since Wang Jiayin went south from Yicheng, he has burned and looted all the way, although he has also raised an army of more than 80,000 people, but these rabble can bully the good people, and it is not a problem to deal with the guards with erosive combat power, but a bloody battle with an elite division like the New Liao Army is not what Wang Jiayin wants to see.

But now it is blocked by the new Liao army on the south bank of the Baishui River, but if the river is concerned, there will be more officers and troops chasing after it, and it will not be cornered at that time.

As a result, Wang Jiayin, He Yilong, He Jin and others had no choice but to try their best to suppress their subordinates, and killed more than 100 retreating soldiers one after another.

Although Cao Bianjiao is extremely brave, and the New Liao Army is indeed elite, after all, the disparity in strength is too great, and the rebels' way to the New Liao Army was blocked, and the rebels had no way out.

In this way, no matter how brave the new Liao army is, it is difficult to resist the crazy siege of the rebels more than ten times larger, and it is at a disadvantage for a while.

At this time, Ma Shouying, Ma Hongxi and others arrived in embarrassment, and hurriedly joined the melee when they saw this. Now the army of the new Liao army is chasing after the ass, and there are mountains on both sides, there is no way out, only to defeat the cavalry of the new Liao army of Cao Bianjiao's department in front of them, and cross the river to escape.

Cao Bianjiao's troops were already fighting hard, but at this time, Ma Shouying waited for tens of thousands of people to join in, and it was even more difficult, and it didn't take long for the rebels to be forced to the edge of the wooden bridge, and there was no way back.

Fortunately, at this time, Mo Li, Ma Jinzhong, Xiao Yang and other people and their subordinate armies had also arrived, so the three sides launched a fierce and unusual battle on the south bank.

There is no roar of firearms, there is only the slashing of swords, except for the occasional grenade or musket, most of the time it is a decisive battle between cold weapons and cold weapons.

Not long after, Zhou Yuji, He Zhendong and other troops attacking from the two flanks also arrived and surrounded the rebels.

The rebels Wang Jiayin, He Yilong, Ma Shouying, He Jin and other troops added up to 130,000 horses, but the new Liao army only had more than 30,000 people.

But many times the war often does not depend on the number of troops, although the rebels are numerous, but they lack training, the combat effectiveness is low, and the vast majority of people are frightened by the brutal slaughter of the Black Flag Guard, all the way to flee for their lives, almost no one resists, where will be the opponent of the new Liao army?

At this time, although they had an overwhelming advantage in strength with Wang Jiayin's rebels, most of the rebels were stupid by the terror of the new Liao army, and they would not think about how to rely on the combined strength advantage of the two armies to confront or even defeat the official army, and still blindly wanted to flee for their lives.

If these rebels are all thinking about how to resist and defeat the new Liao army, as the so-called ants bite the elephant to death, no matter how strong the new Liao army is, I am afraid that it will inevitably be defeated.

But the rebels who returned to Ma Shouying had long been frightened by the Black Flag Guard, and under the spread of their panic, the rebels under Wang Jiayin and others had also been defeated by the New Liao Army several times, and they had long been afraid of the New Liao Army.

Soon, the rebels were slaughtered and scattered, and there were rebels scurrying everywhere.

The sun is thin, the remnant sun is like blood, the Baishui River flows gently, and from time to time there are fallen corpses falling into the river and being washed away by the river. There were also some rebels who panicked and accidentally fell into the river, soaked in the icy river water, so cold that they shivered, and quickly climbed ashore in a panic, and were killed or captured by the new Liao army.

There are even some rebels who can't get up when they fall into the river, and they beat their arms indiscriminately in the river, carrying floats and loads, but they always can't climb ashore, and drift with the icy river until they die in the river.

Kill until the sky starts to dark, the south bank of the Baishui River is already full of corpses, blood flows like a river, Baishui River is afraid that it will be renamed Hongshui River from now on.
