Chapter 311: Bloody Battle Under the City

The opponent's foothold is not stable, and the opponent is caught off guard, which is the minimum knowledge of every general. The general Zhou stationed in Linyi naturally understands this truth.

When the dust above the horizon began to rise, the herald and the flag officer began to give orders to each thousand households, the formation moved forward, and slowly met it, the movement of more than 10,000 people was really extraordinary, coupled with the momentum of the chaotic army on the opposite side, the ground felt like a boom and shook.

There was not much time, and when the two sides were about a few hundred steps away, Zhou Guerrilla immediately passed down the order, and the three thousand households in the forefront immediately attacked. He also didn't have any idea of preserving his strength, and after breaking up these chaotic troops in front of him, he could naturally replenish the young and strong in them, and the three thousand households that had just moved to the front were estimated to have six or seven hundred horses, and the chaotic army mixed with the old and weak, the sick and the disabled would definitely not resist the impact of the horse team.

The three Qianhu who led the team also knew the intention, as they moved, the horse team was naturally concentrated in front of the team, they didn't jog first to save horsepower, and the statement of aligning with the formation directly spurred their horses to rush forward, and it was also murderous for a while.

After the horse team of the official army rushed up, the formation of the chaotic army suddenly stopped, and Zhou Guerrilla laughed in the formation, and said proudly:

"These farmers who farm the fields, presumably they haven't seen so many horses, sons, wait a minute, follow this general to kill hard!"

However, the three thousand households who rushed to the front did not have such a pride and ambition as him at this time, and when they rushed to the opponent's formation and were about 100 paces, the generals and soldiers on the horses suddenly found that there seemed to be no old, weak, sick and disabled in the opponent's team, and in the face of the cavalry charge, it was not like being afraid not to move, but to form a strict formation.

But the horse was already running, and no matter what, he couldn't withdraw at this time, and the thousand households led shouted:

"Brothers, rush, they are too frightened to move."

The horses were getting closer and closer, and the officers in front were smart enough to let their horses slow down slightly, but when they were still a dozen paces away, they saw the look of fear in the eyes of the soldiers in front of them, and they looked like they were about to run away, and they were terrified.

Unexpectedly, suddenly a gong sounded, and countless spears were suddenly erected in the first row of the front of the chaotic army, and they were not the kind of hastily sharpened wooden poles with iron heads, but the kind of horse repelling rifles made in the camp of the Ming craftsmen, this kind of spears were generally used in the battle against the Mongol Tatars on the nine sides.

Looking at the cold and shining tip of the spear, the horses were obviously unable to contain it, and the few horses that reacted suddenly stopped, and the people stood up, and the officers and soldiers above were not so lucky at all, they were directly thrown up from above, and more people had even worse luck, so they were directly loaded on the horse rejecting pistol.

Pointing diagonally at the top of the rejecting rifle, even the horses and people are pierced through, and some of the horses behind want to stop, and some want to turn away, which is already a mess.

Suddenly there were two gongs in the chaotic army formation, the first three rows of people were used to control the first row of rejecting the horse pistol, after hearing this gong, almost with the action of pushing the rejecting horse pistol forward five or six steps, the first wave of the impact of the horses of the official army was already broken, if the cavalry was not a high-speed impact, but stood in place and condescendingly slashed, then he was not as good as the infantry, three thousand households quickly turned the horses, with the remnants of the men to both sides is to run.

It's too late to run to the back now, because the formation of the army is already moving, and if you run back, you will just mess up your formation, which is a big sin. The infantry under the three thousand households was also about to rush to the front, and they also wanted to run, but the army led by the Zhou guerrilla pressed up step by step.

Running back, he would definitely be killed on the spot as a rout, and he would run to both sides with the horse team, but the speed was not fast enough, and if he didn't do it, he would be crushed into pieces by the armies of both sides.

What no one expected was that the rebellious soldiers holding the rejecting rifle in the front still did not move, the rejecting rifle could block the cavalry, but it was useless in the face of the infantry, and when the officers and soldiers were officially happy in their hearts, the sound of fluttering in the air was loud, and when they looked up, they saw countless short spears dropped from mid-air.

Although the short spears were all made of sharpened wooden poles, most of the charging foot soldiers had no armor on their bodies, and the cloth clothes did not have the slightest defensive power, and the sound of broken wooden spears and screams resounded, and the officers and soldiers who rushed to the front of the chaotic army fell like wheat that had been cut down.

The remaining officers and soldiers are no longer willing to charge forward, is this a rebellious army, the weapons and equipment are too complete, even if they go back and be cut off by the supervising team, it is better than being killed like this, there are nearly 3,000 people in three thousand households, and now there are only more than 200 people left, all shouting, and running towards the back.

Zhou Guerrilla naturally saw the scene in front of him, and he was already playing the drum in his heart, so he wanted to run back with the soldiers, but his lieutenant's brain was still quite clear, and he had been following his own peak for many years, seeing that Zhou Guji's face was wrong, he hurriedly pulled the horse closer and said:

"My lord, if we retreat now and are covered up by those chaotic troops, it will be annihilated, I'm afraid even if we run back to the city, it is a luxury, I think the rebel army is less than eight thousand, less than our people......"

Now the troops are moving forward in formation, if they suddenly order to retreat, it will be a big chaos, Zhou guerrilla army for many years also understands, thinking that he still has more than 9,000 people, the other side did not have tens of thousands of people as Tanma said, but now he only sees about 7,000, and he can only come forward to fight.

Immediately gritted his teeth and said loudly to the officers and officers beside him:

"Brothers, rush up and suppress this gang of traitors, and I will give you three days' vacation and two months' full pay!"

There will inevitably be a large number of refugees after the rebellion, and the army also has the obligation to maintain order and law and order for the refugees, but this three-day holiday is equivalent to letting the soldiers act recklessly for three days, which is the only way to stimulate morale.

Hearing this, the officers and officers quickly told the soldiers below loudly about the reward promised by the commander, and there was a burst of cheers and howls, and it can be said that the morale was greatly boosted, and the soldiers moved towards the front much faster.

After throwing those wooden spears, the rebel team over there withdrew from their own formation, and they have not moved until now, which is the time allocated to Zhou's guerrilla men, and the soldiers with large shields are all transferred to the front row.

Now there are more than a dozen loud voices in the rebel team who keep shouting, conveying Liu Shisan's words everywhere, there is no reward from high-ranking officials here, just naked coercion:

"Brothers, our parents, wives and children are all in the valley fifteen miles behind, if we can't win this battle, no matter whose hands our family falls into, it won't end well!"

There was already a commotion among the chaotic people, and after hearing that this would not end well, they quieted down again, and then someone shouted:

"The swords and guns in your hands are no worse than those of the officers and soldiers, defeat these officers and soldiers, take a large sum of silver, and eat meat with your own children, otherwise you will die, and your whole family will be doomed!"

As soon as the words fell, the war drums beat up, and the eyes of these young men in the chaotic army gradually turned red, and they shouted "Kill!" "These young men and men in the prime of life, who had once carried hoes and shovels, rushed forward with a howl.

Both sides are now considered to have high morale, and there is no too neat formation, and the soldiers in the first few rows of Zhou's guerrilla attack originally wanted to guard against each other's bows and arrows and wooden spears, but no one thought that the other party would rush up directly, and there was still chaos at the beginning.

But after all, it is the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, how to bale it, the training of these soldiers and horses is still much stronger than that of those guards along the coast, and it is also a bloody team, quickly stabilized the position, and fought desperately to the death, Zhou Guerrilla has hundreds of people around him, and his more than 200 personal soldiers and personal guards of large and small officers can be regarded as the most effective part of this more than 10,000 people, and few of these chaotic soldiers on the battlefield can confront them head-on.

Gradually, the large array of officers and troops began to advance forward, and the rebels relied on blood, and their combat skills were still too little.

Zhou Guerrilla wiped the blood on his face, and the big knife in his hand split a chaotic army blocking in front of him, looked at the surrounding situation, knew that he was not far from victory, sat on the horse and laughed, and shouted at his subordinates around him:

"Sons, kill, the credit is right in front of you!"

The surrounding hundreds of soldiers and horses were shouting with high morale, at this time, suddenly heard a loud noise on the battlefield, as if a giant had taken a step, and the battlefield of the battle was quickly quiet for a moment, and everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from.

The core of the chaotic army finally showed its true face, Liu Shisan and his two thousand infantry had not moved there, and the two thousand ironclad infantry with spears were neatly lined up in a phalanx, and now they looked at the officers and soldiers with their eyes, moved their steps, and their movements were uniform, murderous!
