Liaojiachang is more than 50 miles northeast of Chengdu, in order to avoid alarming the loyal army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After dark, Zhang Kewang and the governor Wang Ziqi, Wang Hui, Zhang Hu, and Guan Youcai led an army of 20,000 people out of the city secretly, walking day and night, and rushed to Liaojiachang at the ugly hour of the next day.

From a distance, I saw that the tent of the Zhongyi Army camp was sparsely lit, and there were several torches in a place 1 mile away from the outside of the Zhongyi Army camp, and it seemed that this was the sentry post of the Zhongyi Army.

Seeing this, the generals felt embarrassed, this loyal army really set up a post so far away, and it must be even more difficult to succeed in the surprise attack.

Zhang Kewang pointed at the camp of the Loyal and Righteous Army with a horsewhip and said, "Generals, Yang Xuan is just pretending to scare people." On this field, how can you set up a sentry post so far away, this is probably just a suspicious formation.

But as the Lord of Long Live said, the loyal army is defenseless at all, as long as we rush over, we will definitely defeat the loyal army at that time. ”

Immediately ordered everyone to disperse, sent men and horses to finish off the post of the loyal army, and then rushed up to kill it.

But what Zhang Kewang didn't expect was that although there were only 2 people next to the fire, there were 3 secret sentinels not far from the fire, although the rogue killed the bright sentry, but it was still discovered by the scattered dark sentry, and the sound of gongs and drums shook the sky for a while, and these people shouted while running: "The rogue has attacked the camp, the rogue has attacked the camp."

The soldiers of each regiment who were observing from the watchtower car were awakened, and everyone picked up binoculars one after another, carefully observed the enemy situation, and then simply reported the enemy situation through the flag.

Although Zhang Kewang is not very old, he is quite cruel and easy to kill, and he has won the true biography of Zhang Xianzhong.

Seeing that the night attack attempt was discovered, if the other generals had not moved, but Zhang Kewang was Zhang Kewang, and he actually ordered the war drums to be beaten left and right, and commanded the generals to kill them.

When everyone saw Zhang Kewang kill him, they shouted and killed him.

After a while, they rushed to the former military camp of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and the small leader in front was stunned, there was a trench in front of them, each trench was about a meter wide, and there were wooden thorns in front of them, which were not easy to climb over.

Due to the urgency of the matter, although a formidable mandarin duck formation was not formed, under the command of the squad leader and squadron leader, a team of people rushed over and fought with the rogues who threw away the wooden bars and jumped over the trench to fight into the formation.

Zhang Kewang was very angry when he heard that the front army really had a trench to block the way, and personally stepped forward with a knife, and after cutting down a small leader who was not moving forward, the people were greatly boosted, and finally opened a gap, and everyone jumped over the trench and killed the past.

Seeing the rogue coming, after a little counterattack, the loyal army quickly retreated and retreated to the second trench.

Zhang Kewang didn't know what to do, seeing that the loyal and righteous army was so vulnerable, he withdrew after a little resistance, thinking that the loyal and righteous army was just like that, and led everyone to quickly jump over the second trench and kill in.

Yao Zhijiao, the guerrilla commander of the forward regiment, heard that the Onishi Army was attacking the camp, and in a moment he broke through the first trench set up by the third battalion, and now he has even killed the second trench.

Although the second trench was dug wider and deeper, and in the depths of the trench tricycles were connected together to protect the battalion headquarters, the Onishi Army was menacing and the attack was quite fierce.

Looking at the observers of the watchtower car next to the big tent, there were a large number of sneak attackers, there were five or six thousand people, in addition to thousands of people attacking the front, more than two thousand made a detour to the right, ready to outflank themselves.

After thinking about it briefly, I feel that the most dangerous thing is the frontal enemy, the other party is menacing, if you don't drive it away, you will definitely suffer endlessly.

Although there were 2,000 sneak attacks on the flanks, now everyone had risen.

Immediately sent a herald to strictly order the third battalion to hold on, and let the supervising army command the Fran machine gun brigade and the second battalion to hold the main camp, and personally led the 1st battalion and the regimental escort brigade to kill them.

From a distance, I saw that more than 1,000 enemy troops had poured in front, and the positions of the 3rd Battalion had been lost one after another, and now they were connecting tricycles and wheelbarrows together, relying on a hillside terrain to hold on.

Seeing that Yao Zhi's frame led his troops to kill, about 100 shirtless Daxi troops rushed over wielding broadswords, and their arrogance was in full swing, trying to crush the crowd that had not yet woken up from their dreams.

Yao Zhijiao waved his big hand, raised the bird gun in his hand, and waited for the other party to rush to seventy steps, with a wave of his big hand, everyone released the gun one after another, because the distance was very close, there were many kills and injuries in front.

Although the loyal rebels have bird guns in their hands, these rogues are not afraid, and the sound of bird guns is quiet, and then they want to take advantage of the reload time to pounce and fight in close quarters.

But the Loyal Rebels used to use three-stage strikes, in which musketeers stood in three rows, with the first row kneeling, the second half crouching, and the third row standing up and shooting at a distance.

However, this required that the musketeers be well trained, and after the continuous expansion of the Loyal Army in this year, there were not many qualified bird guns, so the stacking method was adopted.

All Bird Gunners are assessed, and only those who pass the assessment can be fired on the battlefield.

For some inaccurate shooting, often a bird gunner with two assistants, everyone in the back of the gunpowder lead, loading the primer, while the bird gunner is only responsible for shooting.

Seeing the rogues in the distance, they rushed over again, and the gunfire in the back row started again, killing and wounding several people again.

But as mentioned earlier, the biggest problem with the Bird Gun is the slow launch speed, and the Bird Gun who rushed over certainly understood this truth, although they were shot continuously, they still swarmed behind.

Some even rushed to about 30 steps before leaving the battle, and some kept charging, constantly firing guns and arrows to disrupt the loyal soldiers who were facing the enemy in front.

Seeing the rogue approaching, the archers and crossbowmen in the back shot arrows in front of them, and in the arquebus era, it took time to fire a bird's gun, and it was often possible to shoot five arrows.

The front is full of rogues, and everyone doesn't need to think about accuracy, they shoot arrows into the air, and then rely on gravity to fall, shooting the soldiers of the Great Western Army in front.

Suddenly fired, the gang of rogues in front was terrified, although some of them still stubbornly charged forward, but most of them had lost their morale and kept retreating behind.

Yao Zhijiao led his troops to take advantage of the situation to kill the soldiers, kill and disperse the soldiers besieging the third battalion, and the two departments were combined, and then led the troops to hold on.

The frontal attack was blocked, and the two thousand-man teams outflanked from the flank did not get a bargain, and now the various units have entered the position, and the Fran machine gun brigade has already taken aim, seeing the other side rushing close, the concentration of 10 Franc machine guns continues to fire, and the overwhelming scattered bombs fall in front of the position, and the 2nd battalion led the army to kill the general Yao Wu, and collided with the rogues who rushed over.

Because the 2nd Battalion had already prepared, everyone did not rush into battle like the 1st and 3rd Battalions, and in addition to continuously firing guns and archery, they also threw ignited earth-shattering thunderbolts into the enemy formation.

Hearing that the enemy army attacked the camp, everyone was shocked, Yang Xuan also led a group of staff members to the front line with binoculars to watch, now Dongfang has already confessed, and the situation outside is gradually becoming clear.

Its strength is about 20,000 and it is now fighting with the avant-garde regiment and the left and right flanks.

Yang Xuan was slightly surprised, there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses attacking the camp, this is too bold, right?

In the face of Zhang Wenxiu's 20,000 soldiers and horses that day, the three C regiments under his command were still able to cope with the battlefield, and now all the units have been replenished, both the number and morale are far higher than before the battle of Suining City.

In order to see more clearly, Yang Xuan climbed into the watchtower car, and after observing for a while, he immediately smiled and said: "The other party is simply a gambler, and he dares to sneak attack our army with more than 20,000 horses, it is really bold."

The sneak attack is not more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and if you deduct the labor of the people who are coerced, there are only more than 10,000 people who can really fight a war, and our loyal and righteous army has been expanded, and its combatants are more than that. ”

The other party was bold and reckless, but Yang Xuan did not dare to do so, while anxiously waiting for the military information from the ambush posts in various places, he sent multiple scouts out of the camp to find out the enemy's situation.

The battle continued, the two sides fought fiercely for an hour, and at the end of the day, the intelligence on the front gradually found out that the attack on the camp was Zhang Kewang, the general of the Great Western Army, and the attack camp was only more than 20,000 soldiers.

In addition, Zhang Nengqi, the general of the Great Western Army, Wang Shangli, the governor of the Chinese army, and Feng Shuangli, the governor of the rear army, have also led more than 30,000 people to drive with torches, and now they are only more than 20 miles away.

In the face of Zhang Kewang's 20,000 soldiers and horses, Yang Xuan can be said to be full of confidence, not to mention anything else, according to past experience, Zhang Kewang's department claims to be 20,000, half of which are coerced by the people, used to transport grain and grass, and Zhang Bu can really only fight more than 10,000 people.

Yang Xuan decided to take advantage of the time difference to first defeat Zhang Kewang's troops who attacked the camp, and then have a decisive battle with Zhang Nengqi, the general of Zhengbei, and other troops.
