Chapter 312: Opportunity

Yang Jiji would not let go of such a good opportunity, and as soon as his order flag moved, a dense drum beat immediately sounded in the ranks.

The officers and soldiers suddenly picked up speed to the beat of the drums and rushed towards the rebels. The chaotic people who were originally shouting slogans were suddenly stunned, and many people saw the officers and soldiers rushing up fiercely, and their legs were a little weak.

The most front-row of the rebels were fanatical believers, and they were not afraid of the officers and soldiers. rushed forward against the officers and soldiers, and as soon as the two sides clashed, the chaotic people were cut down.

Although the believers in the front row were fanatical, their equipment was simply poor. Except for a few backbones with swords in their hands, the rest of the people mostly held pitchforks and hoes.

There were also some people who rushed up with wooden sticks, and there was no defense on their bodies. The armor captured in several county towns was used by Xu Hongru to equip his own guards, how could he use the precious armor on the cannon fodder.

So as soon as the two sides fought, the rebels were immediately killed and injured. The officers and soldiers became more and more courageous, and they lined up in close formations to kill the chaotic people.

When the fanatics in the front row died, the rebels who followed the chaos in order to eat enough came up.

They are even more unbearable, and no matter how loud their slogans are, they cannot withstand the threat of death. After only a few moments of fighting, someone turned and fled.

Some people took the lead in fleeing, and the rest of the people scattered. Turning around and running back towards the Chinese army, their panicked escape gave the officers and soldiers a chance.

Yang Jiji immediately commanded the soldiers to chase and kill the rebels behind, and drove the Dacheng army rebels towards Xu Hongru's Chinese army.

The fleeing Dacheng army ran out of strength in the charge just now, and they dragged their heavy steps and ran back. As long as you run a little slowly, you will be caught up by the officers and soldiers, and you will be killed on the spot.

Xu Hongru was stunned in the rear, his 20,000 army was defeated by thousands of officers and troops so easily? That's too fast, isn't it? How much time is it in total? No matter how wasteful your own soldiers are, they won't be like this!

But the rout had already happened, and he had to order the 40,000 men of the Chinese army to prepare for battle. But with no experience in big battles, he forgot that the rout would break up his carefully arranged array.

Although his Chinese army equipment is relatively good, the first thing he has to face is his own people. The officer in command at the front also lost his square inch when he saw the surging rout, and did not know whether he should shoot his own soldier with arrows.

Just as they hesitated, the rout rushed into their large array. The routed soldiers who fled in panic didn't care about any formation or not, they just wanted to flee for their lives, and they just wanted to hide in the rear of the Chinese army.

They crashed in and messed up what was supposed to be a fairly intact formation. The officers and soldiers who were chasing after the rout also followed in, and they were unilaterally slaughtered by the Dacheng army.

The large array formed by the Chinese army was constantly broken through, and seeing that the official army was getting closer and closer to him, Xu Hongru couldn't sit still.

He immediately ordered: "Retreat five miles and fight again!" According to his idea, since the formation is chaotic, it is necessary to reorganize the team and fight again.

But he made a fatal mistake by not leaving a strong contingent to stop the officers and soldiers.

Coupled with the fact that his Huang Luo umbrella cover moved backwards, the Dacheng army, which was still resisting, also panicked. Were they defeated? Is His Majesty the Emperor going to flee?

In addition, the officers and soldiers shouted in unison, "The chaotic people have been defeated!" Kill! ”

The Dacheng army was even more chaotic, and everyone no longer listened to orders. They fled in all directions, and Xu Hongru could no longer command his army.

The original idea of just wanting to retreat the whole team turned into an escape matter, and at this time, the Dacheng army could no longer pose a threat. They turned and fled, exposing their backs to the officers.

The officers and soldiers only need to chase and kill them in the rear, and the only thing that can stop them is physical strength. How many Dacheng troops they can destroy in a battle depends on how far they can chase the rebellious people out.

Yang Jiji, who was riding on the horse, laughed, and he said to Yang Guodong: "Do you see it? It's just a bunch of chickens and dogs, even if there are 100,000 people. As long as we dare to fight, they will be vulnerable! ”

Yang Guodong also had a smile on his face, and at this moment, he no longer had the hesitant and scared expression of yesterday. He clenched his fists on the horse and said, "Handsome and wise!" Command well, how the gangsters are your opponents. In this battle, Yang Dashuai will definitely increase his official position and become a knight, and he will be on the rise! ”

While the two were greeting, a group of about 5,000 men came out from behind them. This army is much more elite than the rebels, and the equipment may be comparable to that of the officers and soldiers.

They approached the battlefield quickly, a large flag fluttering in the air. The four big characters "for the heavens" on it are particularly eye-catching in the air, and the people on the battlefield have a feeling of returning to Shuibo Liangshan.

This force of men and horses killed the rear of the official army, that is, Yang Jiji and Yang Guodong.

Now the officers and soldiers have been sent out to hunt down the rebels, and there are less than 300 people around them. Yang Jiji looked at the team that had been killed, and smiled bitterly again and again.

He didn't think that he could resist the onslaught of thousands of elites with just a few hundred people, so he had no choice but to go and join the officers and soldiers who were chasing and killing the rebels.

The officers and soldiers who were chasing the rebels in the front also noticed the changes in the rear, and gradually stopped chasing the rebels, and began to gather their men and horses to prepare to fight against the new team.

Xu Hongru saw that the official army had stopped, and seized this rare opportunity to gather the scattered men. He had already recognized that it was Yu Hongzhi of the Bangmao Club who came to rescue him.

Xu Hongru can't fight, but he is good at seizing opportunities. With only more than 10,000 horses, he also pressed towards the official army, although these Dacheng troops had been frightened by the official army.

But they know that once they fail, it will be the end of their families and exterminations. Whatever you say, you have to fight with the officials and the army to the end, and you will never die.

The Stickhammer Society was already fighting with the incomplete number of officers and troops, and the officers and troops who had only gathered 4,000 men and horses were on a par with the 5,000 men and horses of the Stickhammer Society. The men and horses on both sides were at a stalemate for a while, and no one could take anyone.

Yang Jiji was anxious, although he had defeated 100,000 rebels. But that is only a defeat, once the enemy in front of you is not defeated after a long battle. If you are surrounded by the rebels, you will definitely be defeated on the spot.

Yu Hongzhi's club is not a rabble of rioters, most of them are from Hebei. The people there are fierce, and everyone is martial.

The mallet will play the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor, and doing the right thing for heaven. For a while, the number of applicants gathered, and the team grew larger.

They themselves often robbed large gentry, and their equipment was no worse than that of the officers and soldiers. Each of them is dressed in cotton armor, and the weapons are relatively sophisticated.

The original agreed move on August 15 resulted in Xu Hongru's early action that caught Yu Hongzhi off guard.

He didn't have time to contact Wang Haoxian of the Wenxiang Sect, so he brought his men and horses into Shandong. Along the way, countless villages were conquered, and the number of people and horses grew to 5,000.

I heard that Xu Hongru was fighting a decisive battle with the official army, so he brought people and horses to help. They had already arrived at the beginning of the war, but Yu Hongzhi waited until Xu Hongru collapsed before making a move.

In order to occupy more say after the cooperation between the two sides in the future. In order to sneak attack the officials and soldiers, as long as the officials and soldiers chase and kill the rebels, he will have a chance.
