Chapter 10: The Incredible Army

Seeing a group of black-clothed and black-armored cavalry with a cold expression appear in front of him, Hao Shaoqi was stunned for a moment.

Following Li Zicheng to conquer the world, half of the Ming Dynasty had never seen the style and color of the armor like this, so it was very unfamiliar.

But at this time, I can't take care of these things, the distance between the two sides is already close to the cavalry.

So after not saying much, Hao Shaoqi roared and rushed up with people.

It's just that as soon as the two sides came into contact, Hao Shaoqi felt that something was wrong. The black-clad and black-armored cavalry did not panic at all, nor did they even shout at all, but silently urged their horses to meet them.

As soon as they came up, they divided into small cone attack formations of three people, and both offensive and defensive were three people advancing and retreating together.

On the other hand, Hao Shaoqi's side has always been riding a horse and rushing violently, where does it matter what formation is not formed. As soon as the two sides came into contact, soon the Dashun army felt tremendous pressure.

Hao Shaoqi's Dashun army soon fell into a bitter battle.

The infantry of the Dashun Army, which was running wildly behind the cavalry, was also in crisis at this time.

They followed the cavalry all the way, but the two-legged ones couldn't keep up with the four-legged ones, so they were quickly left behind by the cavalry.

These Dashun infantry were dressed in a mess of civilian clothes of different styles, some with armor, some with half-body armor, and some with an iron helmet on their heads, but they were coarse linen clothes. Others were even more comical, with satin silk coats on top of the coarse linen clothes, apparently freshly snatched trophies.

In addition to the clothes on their bodies, the weapons of these people are also varied and varied. Some are broadswords, some are spears, and some are firearms. There are even people holding maces, long swords, etc., and even more in their hands are three-toothed rakes, shovels, hoes and other agricultural tools used for farm work.

Obviously, these people with farm tools have just joined the Dashun army, and maybe they were still using their hands to dig food on the land a few days ago.

These soldiers of the Dashun Army, who are dressed differently and have different weapons, now have one thing in common, that is, they are tired.

After they had followed this not a short distance, everyone was already too heavy to run.

Many people leaned over, holding their waists and gasping for air.

Some people simply sat on the ground to rest, and some even threw their weapons aside, and the whole scene was a mess, and if it weren't for the flags with the words "Shun" and "Hao" written on them, absolutely no one would think that this was an army.

Because this team looks like a group of bandits who have just fallen from the grass, it is a little more.

Although the officer leading the team was also shouting at those who were sitting to get up, and even whipped them with whips, the effect was really limited.

The soldiers sat on the ground, grumbling loudly and begging for mercy, but they refused to get up.

The officers were also tired, looking at these guys who were reluctant to get up like dead dogs, thinking that with the combat effectiveness of those brothers in the old battalion in front, the battle in front should be over soon.

In that case, it's okay to let these mud-legged people take a break. Anyway, I'll have to let them escort the captives later.

The officers deliberated for a while, and soon made a unified decision, ordering everyone to rest in place.

As soon as the order was given, the soldiers all sat on the ground screaming, and some even lay on the ground on their backs.

Some people sang the songs of their hometowns, and some people shouted the songs of their hometowns, and they were coaxed for a while, and the applause was very lively.

If you don't know it, you will think that this is a lively market.

In a forest not far away, the 10,000 infantry of the vanguard army that had long been ambushed here were silently looking at these Dashun army infantry who were singing sour tunes and had no defense, and many of them had incredible expressions on their faces.

Could it be that this is the kind of army that destroyed the Ming Dynasty? Did so many officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty lose to such a bandit-like army?

This question is completely incomprehensible to these truly elite, truly professional soldiers.

The leader of the team is the lieutenant general of the mountain armor vanguard army, whose name is Bige, and he is also a knight.

According to the military system of the Jiang family's army, he also had ten thousand commanders under him, and each thousand commanders led a thousand infantry.

Although Bige was full of contempt for these soldiers of the Great Shun Army in his heart, he still had the caution that a general should have.

His mission was originally to intercept the rout of the Dashun army here after the defeat of Hao Shaoqi's army.

But what he saw in front of him made him feel that this was a great opportunity. If they were to be killed at this time, the peasants with weapons would surely collapse quickly, there is no doubt about that.

Although these people seem to be many times more numerous than their own, no one would think that such soldiers can do anything.

Bige used the clairvoyant mirror to observe various details again, and determined that this was not a ploy by the Dashun army to lure the enemy, so he gathered ten commanders and issued the task of attacking.

Jiang Jiajun has always had a characteristic in warfare, that is, it is silent when there is no special need, and this is the same whether it is infantry or cavalry.

Therefore, they were likened by the Qing army to a pack of wolves that never howled.

Many times, silence is often more frightening than howling.

In addition to leaving a thousand-man squad as a reserve, the remaining nine thousand-man infantry teams gradually approached the Dashun army who were playing and resting like black ghosts.

By the time someone discovered these black-clad and black-armored uninvited guests, it was already too late, and the soldiers of the Jiang family army were already less than a stone's throw away from the outermost soldiers of the Dashun army.

The discoverer exclaimed, and a rain of arrows was instantly triggered, and the crowd of the Dashun army soon screamed and wailed.

At this time, the people outside were shouting, and the people inside didn't know what was going on, some people got up to watch, some people asked each other, and everyone was at a loss.

The silent Jiang Family's nine thousand-strong teams continued to advance from different directions, and a rain of arrows flew towards the chaotic crowd of the Dashun Army, which immediately caused another burst of screams, and the crowd became even more chaotic.

After a few waves of arrow rain, the soldiers at the front of the Jiang family's army had already rushed to the outermost part of the Dashun army. They abandoned their bows and swords, rushed into the crowd, and slashed violently.

Nine thousand-strong teams burst into the crowd of the Great Shun Army in an unstoppable manner from nine directions like nine black torrents, and everything in the torrent's path was swallowed up.

Such an army similar to that of bandits, not to mention defenseless, even if it is prepared, it will not change the outcome of this battle.

Soon, the 30,000 or 40,000 Dashun army completely fell apart in only a quarter of an hour under the surprise attack of less than 10,000 Jiang Jiajun.

The soldiers cried and howled and fled in all directions, throwing away everything they could, just to run faster and get rid of the silent black-armored enemies behind them.

Looking at the countless soldiers of the Dashun Army who were running for their lives, the soldiers of the Jiang family army suddenly felt a little painful, and they looked at each other one by one, and the expressions on their faces became weird.

That's how the battle ended? A lot of people don't even have an account yet! Is the 50,000 Great Shun Army elite such an elite method?

This is probably the most ridiculous and fastest battle that the Jiang family army has fought since its formation.

Perhaps in the eyes of many Jiang family soldiers, this is not a battle at all, this is just a dispersal operation. As soon as the wolf came out, he bared his teeth, and the sheep ran away.

And they were thinking about whether to capture the prisoners, but looking at the rout of the army running all over the mountains faster than rabbits, and thinking about the previous performance of these people, everyone almost knew it in their hearts.

It's still a burden to capture such a captive, so it's better to leave it to Li Zicheng to continue to consume money and food.
