Chapter 253: Front-and-back attack
As soon as the battle began, Xia Yiyu felt numb in his head, although the combat of this support army was not as fierce as Liu Wenxiu, but the tactics were quite tricky, often a squadron rushed to the front, and formed a small formation in groups of three or five to surround and beat the lone green battalion soldiers and horses.
It is often the rattan player in front, holding the rattan card in one hand and operating the short knife in the other hand, and blocking the attacking rattan card with the rattan card left and right.
The wolf is behind him, holding a two-foot wolf whim, harassing himself from time to time, making himself stumbling and embarrassed.
And at this time, either the rattan player, or the spearman, the boring handle, the knife and axe hand took advantage of their own unpreparedness, suddenly rushed over, stabbed over the lone green battalion general, and the others rushed up, three times five divided by two to solve the battle.
If there are a lot of soldiers and horses in the green battalion, everyone gathers together and prepares to resist stubbornly, and suddenly a few grenadiers in the distance throw the ignited earth-shaking thunder into the green battalion soldiers from a distance.
Taking advantage of the chaos on the other side, the squadron leaders of the Volunteer Army quickly gathered a small team, a squadron of soldiers and horses, and everyone quickly formed a mandarin duck formation, surrounded the past, and rushed to kill each other.
Due to the promotion of new squatting in the army in recent years, although the soldiers are illiterate, they are still very motivated, and in the process of kicking squatting, everyone knows how to block the opponent, how to carry out feints, and how to outflank the attack.
In the face of the exquisite formation and the skillful cooperation of the various units of the Volunteer Army, the front-line Tartars were quite uncomfortable
And this is not the most uncomfortable, the most uncomfortable is the group of musketeers, they first hide on the hillside in the rear, squadron after squadron gathered together, keep aiming, shoot towards the dense area of the green battalion soldiers and horses, the musketeers keep firing their guns, after a round of bird guns, the department is often beaten on their backs.
At first, everyone wanted to bully them, and rushed over to prepare to slaughter these musketeers by releasing the guns, but who expected that the opponent's bird guns could actually be equipped with spurs, and seeing that the green battalion soldiers would rush over, some of them quickly loaded the spurs and actually played spears with these fake Tartars on the battlefield.
Since the establishment of the Volunteer Army, Yang Xuan has required musketeers not only to practice marksmanship, but also to be able to use spears, especially after the implementation of technical allowances the previous year, as long as there is a skill that is among the best in the whole brigade, they can get rewards of varying amounts.
Due to the food security, a strong body, coupled with technical allowance incentives, many musketeers are not under the ordinary soldiers at all, and now seeing the Tartars killing, everyone is not panicked, often the small flag commander leads four soldiers to attack head-on, and two corporals and sergeants each lead two soldiers to flank the raid.
There were often three raiding teams, with the captain using a spear to defend against other soldiers, one soldier using a spear to fight the opponent, and a sturdy man using a slasher to rush over and cut the opponent when he was unprepared.
This is a new tactic practiced by the musketeers of the volunteers, combined with the three-talent formation practice of the Qi family's army, the general name is one side and two wings, that is, the frontal block, and the two wings attack.
In the past, musketeers did not use bird guns at all, and they needed spearmen to protect them on the battlefield, but now we see that the volunteer musketeers are not only equipped with a large number of guns, but also have such superb tactics that the soldiers and horses of the green battalion who raid are forced to retreat again and again.
Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the green battalion were so unbeaten, and more than 2,300 people were killed and wounded in less than a stick of incense, and now they were forced to retreat again and again, Liu Weiming, who was in front of him, commanded the battalions to press, and said with a loud laugh to the left and right: "Brothers, we are the first town established by the prince, although there are only 8,000 people now, according to the principle of 1:2, there are more than 16,000 fake Tartar soldiers and horses.
Brothers, since we are going to fight this battle, we are going to show our majesty, and we want everyone to see how powerful our brothers are."
Xia Yiyi, the chief soldier of the green battalion, led 10,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Liu Wenxiu Town, which was already very difficult, and now he was attacked by Liu Weiming Town before and after, and his embarrassment can be imagined.
In the process of fighting, the volunteers often sent a group of soldiers and horses to break behind these fake Tartars to occupy the reasonable terrain, and then set up a tiger squat cannon to bombard the crowd.
The flank was suddenly attacked, and the soldiers and horses of the green battalion in front of the blockade were in confusion, and they were actually killed by the other party and retreated.
What's worse is still to come, Liu Wenxiu saw Yang Wei lead his troops to rush to Xia Yiyu's department, and he also personally led the army to rush over, the main force of the town came from Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army, and the main generals of the department were the Northwest Han, and they inherited Zhang Xianzhong's style of killing.
In the past few days, the soldiers and horses of the green battalion have been pressed to attack the mountain, and the brothers around them have been killed and injured so that everyone is very aggrieved.
The surrounding soldiers looked at Liu Wenxiu like this, shouting slogans of revenge for the dead brothers, and rushed down from the mountain one after another, and the soldiers and horses of the green battalion were mixed together, which was even more fatal to the retreating armies.
A few hundred generals originally wanted to lead the army to resist, but within half a pillar of incense, the green battalion soldiers had already retreated, surrounded by volunteers and soldiers, as well as dozens of green battalion soldiers and horses covered in blood.
The Green Battalion soldiers wanted to resist stubbornly, but looking at the soldiers of the Volunteer Army covered in blood, they were frightened one by one, surrounded by the soldiers and horses who came later, and in the end they were either killed or abandoned their swords and surrendered.
Under the attack of the two battalions of soldiers and horses, Xia Yiyu complained bitterly, and now the only hope is Cai Shiying's ambush.
According to the original strategy, in order to defeat the volunteer reinforcements, Xia Yi'e led his troops to attract everyone's attention, led the reinforcements to kill Cai Shiying, and then led the ambush soldiers to kill, so that the other party was caught off guard and won the victory.
But Liu Weiming's cooking was not only delayed for an hour, but also the situation inside and outside reversed again at this hour, during which Jin Tongwu Town accelerated the pace of marching, and now it is only six or seven miles away.
If he still leads his troops to fight according to the original strategy, then he will definitely fall into the counter-encirclement of the volunteers.
The morale of the soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion was extremely low, and the volunteers could say that the morale of each team was like a rainbow, and they killed them one by one like tigers descending from the mountain.
Because the volunteers threw in the soldiers and horses of the two towns at once, far above the green battalion, and now they were caught off guard, everyone retreated, and now they have been divided and surrounded by the soldiers and horses of the volunteers who rushed down, and the soldiers and horses of the green battalion showed a trend of rout on the whole line.
Liu Wenxiu saw that the Tartars had been defeated, and saw that Xia Yiyu was staggering left and right in front, bullying the Tartar reinforcements before Cai Shiying dared to lead his troops to the predicament, he pulled out the sword from his waist and said loudly to the left and right: "Everyone, after Li Dingguo came out of the mountain, he killed the famous king of the Tartars, and we were pressed and beaten by the Tartars, brothers are not nesting fires?" “”
The crowd claimed yes.
Liu Wenxiu pointed his sword at Xia Yiju's big tent and said: "Brother, that is Xia Yiju's old thief's great fashion, brothers, rush with me, take Xia Yiju's great fashion and be promoted to three levels, and kill Xia Yiju's three consecutive promotions."
Everyone claimed that it was, Liu Wenxiu immediately rushed over, and everyone saw that Liu Wenxiu took the lead (the Great Western Army has this habit, just like the communist army in the previous life, and because of this, Zhang Xianzhong was successfully beheaded), and one by one they clamored and followed closely, killing Xia Yiyu like a sharp sword.
Seeing Liu Wenxiu like this, the generals He Tianyun, Gao Chengen and others also led their troops to kill them, although the Chinese army of Xia Yiyi's department was still quite elite, but how could it be the opponent of He Tianyun and Gao Chengen, as soon as the two sides fought, the two hundred green battalion soldiers and horses who came to block were cut to pieces by Liu Wenxiu.
Xia Yiju saw that the volunteers were unstoppable, turned their horses' heads and prepared to flee, Liu Wenxiu shouted that Xia Yihe had fled, and on the other hand, he made people chase Xia Yiju and others.
However, due to the narrow mountain road and the large number of routs, the horses could not run at all, and Xia Yihe was caught up by Yang Wei before he could escape a few steps.
He Tianyun saw that Xia Yiyu was escorted by four or five personal soldiers and rode on a war horse, and after looking at the people left and right in horror, he roared and led several personal soldiers to ride over and kill him.
Seeing He Tianyun killing, the other party seemed even more flustered, there were 2 or 3 pro-soldiers who were so frightened that they fled, and the other 2 came over with spears held high, and when they saw the other party's pro-soldiers raising their spears and stabbing them, they dodged the spear sideways, and then reined in the reins of the horse and continued to rush towards Xia Yiyu.
He Tianyun killed himself in an instant, Xia Yiju was very nervous, raised his spear in a panic to meet him, Yang Wei roared, picked up the big knife and slashed over, with the momentum of the horse, the big knife slashed on Xia Yiju's spear, only to see the spear fly out, and Xia Yiju also seemed to be injured, and his whole body lay on the horse's back.
How could He Tianyun give Xia Yiyu this opportunity, tightened the reins of the horse and rushed over, picked up the big knife and slashed it from a distance, Xia Yiyu couldn't dodge in a panic, was cut off the horse, and then ended his life by the volunteer soldiers who followed.
The soldiers next to him cut off Xia Yiju's head, and everyone shouted that Xia Yiju was killed, and the soldiers surrendered and did not kill.
First heard that Xia Yiju had fled, and then saw Xia Yiju being killed, the morale had already fallen to the bottom, and the soldiers and horses of the green battalion who were constantly retreating could no longer resist, and everyone fled backwards despite the interference of the generals.
Originally, I was going to come to a praying mantis to catch cicadas, but Huang Que was behind the trick, but I didn't expect Xia Yiyu to be killed, and the whole line was defeated, and in order to escape, some of them desperately fled in the direction of the ambush.
Forced to be helpless, Cai Shiying was forced to lead an ambush to kill.
Liu Wenxiu and Liu Weiming were not very panicked, especially after Guo Chonglie's 3rd town arrived, they continued to intersperse pursuits, and Cai Shiying, who knew that the big thing was not good, had to leave behind the elite soldiers, and finally was chased and killed for more than ten miles to stop the decline.
Back in the tent, everyone counted the casualties, this battle not only killed Xia Yiyu, the chief soldier of the Tartar Green Battalion, but also killed more than 1,000 fake Tartars, captured more than 2,000 people, as for the wounded are countless, it can be said that more than 10,000 people in the Department of Xia Yi'e were almost completely annihilated, which can be said to be a complete victory.
Everyone seemed quite excited, Liu Wenxiu smiled and held Liu Weiming's hand and said: "Vice General Liu, if you don't wait for the troops to come to help, my 13th town will probably be reimbursed in this Yiting."
Liu Weiming said with a smile: "General Liu, your 13th town was killed from the mountain, like a tiger slaughtering into a flock, it is really a tiger and wolf army."
Although the other towns are advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, compared with the 13th town, they still lack the air of a tiger and wolf. ”
Liu Wenxiu shook his head again and again and said: "Vice General Liu smiled, although our town fought bravely and killed Xia Yiyu, it is still quite different from the towns in terms of tactics."
Although our town blocked the onslaught of 30,000 Tartars in today's battle, although it has made great progress compared with the past, our volunteers have not always claimed to be one enemy and three, so it seems that the tactical quality of our town is still very different. ”
Liu Weiming nodded with a smile and looked at everyone: "Liu Zongbing thinks like this, I am relieved."
Ladies and gentlemen, the prince has always warned us to guard against arrogance and noise, and to recognize our own shortcomings, so that we can have long-term development.
This time, the 13th town can independently resist the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Tartars under favorable terrain conditions, so next time in the face of the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Tartars, we will not be panicked if we find the vacancy of the Tartars, and it is not impossible to win the battle at that time. ”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
After two days of rest and recuperation, after converging with the army, Yang Xuan commanded the soldiers and horses of the 7 towns to kill in three ways towards Yaoting.
