One thousand one hundred and fourteen engagements
With Xiao Ruxun's strong support, weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, and firearms are complete, and the equipment of the Xinchuan soldiers is better than that of the former Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many times.
Armor, knives, spears, shields, bows, birds, furrons, and cannons are all up to date.
It is precisely because of Xiao Ruxun's unsparing support and trust that Ma Qiancheng took over the military order to send troops to conquer Banzhou with confidence, and vowed to fight a hearty victory to repay Xiao Ruxun's trust, so that those generals of the Northern Expedition could also see that he was not in vain after Ma Fubo.
This time, Yang Yinglong sent 30,000 men to attack him, which in his opinion was not enough to be afraid.
The strength of the one is almost the same, both of them are more than 30,000 people.
There is a world of difference in equipment between the two, his equipment is the latest type, there are many new firearms, he is proficient in firearms tactics, and he is skilled in artillery manipulation, which is extremely useful at the moment.
There is a lot of difference in the intelligence of the three, he knows all the hole cards of the other party, but Banzhou knows very little about him, and thinks that the Sichuan soldiers are the previous Sichuan soldiers, weak, no combat effectiveness, and there is no other threat except Liu Dadao.
Yang Yinglong of the four is isolated, while he has other four-way coordinated combat troops.
Ma Qiancheng didn't think that this time the imperial court had no chance of winning in Banzhou.
On December 22, Ma Qiancheng arrived at Dongxi in the south of Qijiang County, set up defensive facilities around it, then observed the terrain, preset the battlefield, suitable for the spread of firearms, and then found a suitable place for the white pole soldiers to ambush on the marching route, and prepared to fight an ambush.
Yang Chaodong's troops came out of Songkan, and they also sent a lot of sentry horses on the way to march, and the marching speed was quite fast, and they were full of fighting spirit, and it was estimated that they could rob the prefectures and counties along the way at will.
When he heard that Yang Yinglong led people to slaughter Qijiang County, Ma Qiancheng had the idea of participating in the crusade against Yang Yinglong, and now his long-cherished wish has been realized, and he must solve Yang Yinglong at one time and avenge the tragic death of the people of Qijiang County.
The rules are set for people, not for the beast army, and the beast army is treated, as long as it is killed.
On December 24, Ma Qiancheng learned that Yang Chaodong had marched to Qianshui Town, so he ordered his army to prepare for battle.
At three o'clock at noon on the 24th, Ma Qiancheng's outpost met Yang Chaodong's army, Yang Chaodong actually ordered the army to rush out to fight without waiting for the camp, Ma Qiancheng frowned, realizing that Yang Chaodong did not regard him as an opponent, but thought of taking him away to rob and slaughter.
So he calculated and ordered the front army to retreat, canceled the idea of engaging first to assess the strength of the other party, and fought a decisive battle directly.
Yang Chaodong is so light on the enemy, he just shows the enemy weakness and strives to annihilate it in a battle!
Yang Chaodong learned that the Qin Jun he had just come into contact with ran away in a blink of an eye, was stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud.
The cronies around him didn't understand, so he explained: "I laugh at those officers and soldiers, even if they change their country names, they are still the same waste!" I didn't dare to fight with us, so I ran away, do you say there are still such cowardly soldiers in the world? Ma Qiancheng is certain to die! Pass my order, press my whole army, abolish him, and take Dongxi! ”
The general hesitated: "Otherwise, let's explore the truth again?" Ma Qiancheng is cunning, how could he retreat and run away so quickly? ”
Yang Chaodong thought for a moment.
"I didn't expect that we would rush over to fight him so soon, so I was scared away, he must not be ready, herald! Speed up the march! Immediately break through Dongxi for me and drive straight to Qijiang County! This bastard must not have expected us to be so fast! Rush me! ”
Yang Chaodong himself thought of a perfect reason for Ma Qiancheng, so he was very happy that he had found the right direction, and ordered the whole army to press all at once, accelerate the attack, and defeat Ma Qiancheng in one fell swoop!
Yang Chaodong himself quickly kept up with the rapidly accelerating army, thinking about how happy his father would be after he won the first credit, how happy he would be, and what kind of prestige and what kind of meritorious service he would have.
However, such ambitions were disrupted by the loud sound of artillery bombardment, Yang Chaodong angrily stopped his horse, chose a high place to look into the distance, and found that there were bursts of black smoke His front army had already engaged Ma Qiancheng's troops, but it seemed to be blocked by the opponent's artillery.
He saw an unidentified object wrapped in smoke and dust rush into his formation, smashing a bloody path.
Wherever the unknown object passed, the soldiers were either killed or wounded, and there was more than one unknown object, which was rampant among his own army, disrupting the formation of the army and preventing the army's attack.
The sound of the bombardment was loud, the roar was loud, and the lethality was great, and his army had begun to fall into disarray.
A general rushed over with a panicked face.
"General! Those officers and soldiers don't know what kind of magic they use, the artillery can hit more than two miles, we were smashed to death by their iron egg from afar, the iron egg can still bounce up, and it will die if it touches it, and the people in front of them can't stand it anymore and start running back! ”
Yang Chaodong was taken aback, and hurriedly looked over, indeed, the front army of his own army seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure and began to run back, and the front army's formation seemed to be chaotic.
At this moment, a burst of war drums and war cries sounded at the same time, startling Yang Chaodong, and his intuition told him that this was the sound of Ma Qiancheng's official army advancing and attacking.
He saw a cloud of dust erupt from time to time in his ranks, and then the soldiers were blown to pieces, while a puff of smoke rose from the opposite side.
Yang Chaodong's face turned pale, gritted his teeth and shouted, "What about our artillery!" Push me up right now! Boom with them! Just artillery, how dare you stand in my way! ”
The general next to him whispered: "Didn't you think the speed of carrying the artillery was too slow, so you left all the artillery without it?" ”
Yang Chaodong was stunned.
Before he could get angry, there was another bombardment over there, and the formation on his side was even more chaotic, and a large cloud of dust exploded, overturning countless soldiers, making Yang Chaodong very suspicious of how many artillery pieces the Qin army had.
No, it can't go on like this, the front army will run back like this, and the middle army and the rear army that are not chaotic will be disrupted, and this one will not have to be fought, although the firearms of the Qin army are sharp, but after all, they can't dominate and occupy for a long time, and to deal with firearms, they must send cavalry into battle!
Yang Chaodong sent the 3,000 cavalry he asked for from his father into battle, but how these cavalry could be killed from the rear army to the front army was a problem.
He immediately ordered the order and beat the war drums, let the army get out of the way, and get out of the way, although the battlefield was a little chaotic now, but he felt that most people would still listen to orders, and if they didn't obey orders, let the cavalry scrap them, and it was not difficult to scrap the pages with a little waste.
The sound of war drums sounded, and what made Yang Chaodong more satisfied was that the army still went to both sides quickly, although it was still a little short of eyes and continued to run back, and the cavalry team had already begun to charge, and those bastards who didn't listen to orders let them die here.
The first thing this cavalry killed after the attack was not the enemy, but its own people.
Of course, for them, they don't have any concept of companions, as long as they get in the way, they will be killed.
Hundreds of unlucky eggs were trampled into a pulp of flesh under such circumstances, moistening a piece of land.
And Yang Chaodong's killer weapon was also sent.
Of course, if he had heard that Xiao Ruxun had defeated the Beiyu cavalry with a large array of firearms in Shanxi back then, he might not have been so impulsive.
Ma Qiancheng immediately ordered the firearms array to unfold, and the Qin army was extremely skillful in setting up the firearms array, staring at the rushing cavalry.
