When Yang Bingyi and Wang Zhibang's regiment rushed to the south, Zhang Wenxiu was leading his subordinates to besiege Liu Weiming's regiment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The infantry rushed to the front, everyone rode tricycles and wheelbarrows to the front, and the 5th and 10th regiments fought out from the flanks and slaughtered the weaker divisions on both flanks.

Seeing the mighty slaughter of the loyal and righteous army, Zhang Wenxiu initially did not care, his troops were defeated by Zeng Ying last year, but that was mainly because the Ming army mixed in and the enemy was not clear, so the other party was defeated.

Now seeing the loyal and righteous army killing, I didn't think about it at first, but what was surprising was that the other party was unconventional, and did not attack his own Chinese army camp with all his might, but actually attacked his own two wings.

The composition of the strength of the Great Western Army is similar to that of the local tyrants, due to the large number of troops and horses, the strength of each department is uneven, and although the number of pro-troops under the command of the main generals is small, they can be called elite after a long battle.

In addition to these pro-troops, there are a large number of men and horses, led by some of his generals, whose strength is very weak, and they only play the role of waving the flag and shouting on the battlefield to contain them.

Now Yang Bingyi and Wang Zhibang each led a regiment to fight out from the left and right flanks, facing those vast, malnourished, poorly equipped and poorly trained servants and horses, like a tiger entering a flock, unstoppable.

Du Jigui of the 10th Regiment led a battalion to rush into the enemy formation, and saw that there were panicked rogues everywhere, while making the three tiger squat cannons quickly pushed to the front, lighting the arquebus and firing the cannons, while directing the major teams to charge and kill the surrounding rogues.

The tiger squat cannon seemed to declare sovereignty, although the damage was limited, but the momentum was quite large, and the lead flew into the air and fell like raindrops, and it could be injured within a radius of several meters.

In addition to the tiger squat cannon to deter the opponent, the real killer is the various brigades, the musket team, the killer team cross-cover, showing that they are slowly approaching the other party, and the ordinary rogue who is sweating and wearing a quilt on his back and wrapping his head in a towel continuously releases his guns, beating the opponent to pieces, and then the killer team kills out and besieges the individual stubbornly resistant.

Of course, some people also want to sneak up on the firearms squadron, just like everyone has done in the past, and rush over desperately in between the release of guns and try to fight hand-to-hand.

However, unlike other units, the Loyal Rifle Squadron saw the other side rushing closer, some of them attached spurs to the bird guns and used them as spears, and some even pulled out the machetes on their backs to use as short knives, and they were not afraid of hand-to-hand combat at all.

Although there were a large number of the Great Western Army on the battlefield, most of the two wings were soldiers and horses from the guards who had surrendered or displaced people who had been coerced, and everyone had left their hometowns one by one, and now not only did they not eat well and wear badly, but more people did not have the courage to fight to the death when they saw what the Great Western Army was doing.

Although everyone did not dare to flee under the leadership of the generals, they did not dare to fight when they saw the loyal and righteous army coming, and everyone retreated while fighting, and it was difficult to support for a long time.

More than half of the Great Western Army was reorganized from the official army, and the rest were mostly able-bodied refugees.

But now there is no food at all, everyone is yellow and thin, and the fighting spirit is very weak, if it is when the Great Western Army is strong, the 20,000 troops under his command can completely defeat the other party, but now the morale of the various departments is low, and it is embarrassing to fight at all.

Needless to say, in the process of fighting, the battalions of the Loyal and Righteous Army often pushed the tiger squat cannon to the front, and bombarded the dense personnel in the distance.

The outermost homeless people are like this, and the middle part of the official army is not much better than the rogues, although everyone has been used to seeing tiger squatting cannons in the past, and has experienced firearm battles many times, but they are quite unfamiliar with the earth-shaking thunder.

In the process of fighting, the loyal and righteous soldiers often rushed to the front in the middle of the killers, often throwing a few earth-shattering thunderbolts before rushing to kill, and then rushed over with the aftermath of the artillery explosion, and the two sides fought together to kill and disperse the stubborn enemy.

With the passage of time, the situation on the battlefield is not optimistic, because everyone has eaten less in the past few months, many people feel dizzy after several rushes, but the loyal army does not have this problem.

The soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army mainly came from the young and strong people in the countryside, or the local rioters who surrendered, and the prisoners of the Great Western Army, but all of them were strong, plus they were full of food in the army, and from time to time there was a little fish, or prey or something, and everyone ate much better than in the past.

Now each brigade has four tricycles and several wheelbarrows, and the general soldier of the marching army encourages everyone to eat well, although there is little pickled fish and meat, but there is no limit to pickled cabbage.

It was 10 days ago that the commander-in-chief inspected the barracks and saw that some troops were still like that, usually gnawing pot helmets and eating them with salt water, but the secretary of the brigade was removed on the spot.

All the officers of the battalion were called over, and they immediately demanded that although the march and battle were a little harder, they were full of porridge and sauerkraut.

Although there is no delicious sauerkraut in early summer, many things sprout in the mountains and fields, and even wild vegetables must be soaked in salt water and made into sauerkraut for everyone to eat.

Zhang Wenxiu complained bitterly, the opponent's left flanks were only more than 1,000 people and horses, and they actually forced several times their own soldiers and horses to retreat again and again, and in the end, he had to divide his troops to support, so he tried to ensure the safety of the left and right wings, but this undoubtedly weakened the strength of the Chinese army.

Zhang Wenxiu was worried that Yang Xuan led the main force to rush up, now that the sun was scorching, the officers and men of the Great Western Army were malnourished one by one, if they fought to the death under the sun like this, although their troops were numerous, it would be difficult to match.

In the predicament, Zhang Wenxiu prayed to Zhang Dingguo in the north, hoping to contain the other party and prevent the other party from pressing on the whole line and causing his own collapse.

At this time, Zhang Dingguo had already received the news and heard that the Loyal and Righteous Army was concentrating all its efforts to besiege the Southern Front Corps, and despite the hot weather, there were many soldiers suffering from heat stroke, and led his troops to storm the camp of the Loyal and Righteous Army in the north.

After several failed attempts, Zhang Dingguo adjusted his tactics and selected 500 strong men from each battalion, so that six teams were formed and attacked in turn.

In this way, although the number of people on the battlefield is much smaller, the combat power of these strong men is far above that of ordinary soldiers, so repeatedly charged, Yang Bingyi and Ma Mingluan were in pain, and after killing the two squadron leaders who escaped with a fluke mentality, there was really no way to send messengers for tactical guidance.

Standing on the high platform, Yang Xuan also saw the changes in the battle situation in the north, put down the binoculars from time to time to discuss with everyone, and now when he saw the request for tactical guidance, he thought about it and said with a smile: "The courage of the soldiers is in the generals, although there are many enemy troops every time, the most important thing is the generals."

If you can organize a hunting detachment to hunt down the brave men and their generals, then the opponent's offensive will naturally decline. ”

In this era, fighting a war relies on morale, and many generals wear armor and dress better than ordinary soldiers, especially in the Great Western Army.

In the previous life, if there was a sniper in the army, this kind of officer who was dressed unusually would definitely be blown up as soon as he appeared, but in this era, smoothbore guns were mainly used, and the accuracy was very poor, and it was quite difficult to shoot accurately.

If you use a rifle, that is, there is rifling in the barrel, correct the line of the lead bullet during the flight, so that it can be hunted.

After receiving the order, Ma Mingluan didn't know what to do at first, but in the end, he really had no choice, so he asked each team to select four or five sharpshooters, led by the secretary general, and hide behind to hunt.

Although the results of the battle could not be as obvious as in the previous life, these sharpshooters were able to hit the target from fifty paces away, and now the target is moving back and forth, and although the bird gun is not very good at aiming, the five guns still have a numerical advantage.

Hiding behind, unaware of the fact that the officers and warriors were shot in the distance, they were also fifty or sixty percent sure, and the small leaders of the front line, the brave ones were killed one after another, the morale of the Daxi Army was quite affected, and the offensive eased slightly, but as Guo Chonglie and Ma Mingluan reported, his troops suffered heavy casualties, and asked for support, and the pressure on the north was still very great.

Yang Xuan wiped off the beads of sweat on his face again and again, the sun was quite strong in early summer, and the war was quite tense, which made people upset, and drank a few cups of hot tea in a row.

By noon, seeing that Wang Zhiyao had already organized the baggage men, Yang Xuan commanded the cavalry regiment and the guard regiment to press on the whole line and kill them.

After several years of construction, the cavalry regiment now has more than 500 horsemen, under the leadership of Ma Chao, from the left and right flanks to kill, pounced on the left and right sides of the second-rate troops of the Great Western Army, which were desperately resisting.

After fighting fiercely under the scorching sun for half a day, the officers and men of the Great Western Army, who had already lost their physical strength, saw the cavalry killed, many people panicked, and some even scattered in all directions.

In order to ensure that the two wings were not lost, Zhang Wenxiu had to send more pro-troops to the left and right flanks, and so far his 4,000 pro-soldiers have sent 1,000, but they still can't recover the decline.

Now seeing the cavalry of the Loyal and Righteous Army dispatched, in order to protect the two wings, he had to send his 800 cavalry to block it.

As mentioned earlier, in order to ensure mobility, the Liukou forcibly requisitioned livestock in various places, and 20% of Zhang Wenxiu's pro-army troops were cavalrymen who could fight back and forth on horseback, and the rest also rode donkeys and other livestock on weekdays.

Zhang Wenxiu had 4,000 pro-troops, of which 800 were cavalrymen who could fight back and forth on horseback.

At this time, the guard regiment arrived, Wang Gao and Yang Fuquan each led a battalion to rush to the front, and Cao Zhang led the main force to kill Zhang Wenxiu's Chinese army.

The musketeers took the brigade as a unit, lined up in three rows, and continued to advance with neat steps, and under the orders of the squadron leader and group leader, they continuously fired at the stragglers in the distance.

Seeing that the guard regiment had successively defeated two lines of soldiers and horses and was now killing him, Zhang Wenxiu gasped and personally led the pro-army to kill him.
