Chapter 105: All-out counteroffensive

The messenger took the arrow, hurried to the camp of Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing, handed over the arrow, and was quite threatening to the two in his words.

The two of them were hesitating when they suddenly saw a scholar rushing out on the left, with a knife in his hand, and he actually killed the herald in the big tent.

Chen Yingrui was shocked, pointed at this and said, "Mr. Yin, you, you are, how is it good?"

It was Yin Chengqi, the former gatekeeper of Shunqing Mansion, who killed the herald, withdrew his sword, and arched his hand to the two of them: "Two generals, Ma Yuanli's killing opportunity has appeared, two generals, don't hesitate anymore." ”

Chen Yingrui said angrily: "You, you are talking nonsense, Zuo Dudu is just urging the troops, how can you say that Zuo Dudu wants to kill the two of us?" ”

Yin Chengqi said with a smile: "Now that Yang Lin is leading a heavy army to besiege Ma Yuanli, and the two generals are not moving, if Ma Yuanli knows the truth, won't he kill you?"

Chen Yingrui pointed to the outside, flickering far and near, flickering strong and weak, shouting and killing: "There are bursts of shouting and killing outside, Yang Lin is even more outlawed, I am just for the sake of prudence, I am afraid of falling for Yang Lin's tricks, and I am making a decision when the truth is discovered." ”

Yin Chengqi laughed, shook his head and said: "Zhang Xianzhong and Ma Yuanli are both treacherous and insidious, and now that the war is in full swing, they won't do anything with you."

But if the war is over, who knows if it will be the case then?

I heard that Zhang Xianzhong peeled a daylily for a person who disobeyed the order a few days ago, think about it, will Zhang Xianzhong forgive you and wait in the future? ”

Chen Yingrui was speechless for a while, and Feng Youqing next to him arched his hand and said: "Mr. Yin, everyone knows about our relationship with Yang Lin.

In the past, there were many disputes in the Ming Dynasty, if you submit to him now, I'm afraid in the future? ”

Yin Chengqi said with a smile: "The general is too worried, Yang Lin is young and vigorous, but there are rare talents, which is more important, I think he understands the truth better."

Besides, you don't necessarily have to submit to him. ”

Chen Yingrui was overjoyed, and asked, "My lord, tell me, how about I?" ”

Yin Chengqi said with a smile: "Now that the two armies are fighting, if the general can lead the army back to Shunqing Mansion, there are only three or five hundred old and weak soldiers in Shunqing Mansion.

And Yang Lin was entangled by Ma Yuanli, even if he defeated Ma Yuanli, he didn't have the strength to compete with the general for the city.

At that time, the general will guard Shunqing City, and Yang Lin will guard Pengzhou Bazhou, and the two sides will fight against each other, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. ”

Chen Yingrui was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to pull out and rush to Shunqing City.

Seeing that Chen Yingrui was so greedy, Yin Chengqi shook his head secretly, waved his hand and called a family member, and asked him to make up and report to Yang Lin.

The mist outside gradually dissipated, and Yang Wei, Yang Cheng, and Long Zhijiao led three battalions of soldiers and horses to break through more than ten battalions of the Great Western Army, while Ma Yuanli relied on the numerical advantage to continuously form a new battle formation and try his best to resist.

Niu Dayong, Wang Gao, Buning, Yao Chonglie and others asked for battle many times, but Yang Lin was always worried that Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing would lead their troops to help, so they did not dare to agree.

And at this moment, a family member hurriedly arrived and handed a letter to Yang Lin, Yang Lin looked at it and laughed: "Everyone, Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing have already gone anyway, and they have already led their subordinates back to Shunqing Mansion before a stick of incense."

Wang Jiye's department has been blocked, and he can't send troops to support, and now Ma Yuanli is alone in the depths, passing on my orders, and counterattacking on all fronts. ”

Immediately ordered Niu Dayong, Wang Gao and others to lead the escort battalion to launch an offensive from the front, and Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie each led the cavalry brigade to outflank and raid Ma Yuanli's department from the left and right.

Li Shikai, Fan Mingshan and others led the militia to shout in the back, making the appearance of reinforcements and intimidating the other party.

The combat strength of the escort battalion was far from being matched by other battalions, not only was it large in number, but there were four infantry brigades up and down the battalion, which were well equipped, and each brigade had an elite grenadier group.

The grenadiers rushed to the front line in groups of three, one with an open flame in their hands and the other two carrying a small basket of thunderbolts, pulled out their caps, drew the line of fire, lit the rope, and threw it into the crowd.

All of a sudden, explosions rang out one after another in front, and through the thick fog, the soldiers behind were killed with arquebuses in their hands, and fired their guns at the obviously frightened rogue platoon.

In the distance, the guard battalion had six tiger squatting cannons, and Chen Huaixi led the gunners to rush to the front with the cannons, constantly firing the cannons.

The two sides were evenly matched, but the escort battalion suddenly arrived, and the gunners rushed to the side hillside with the tiger squatting, aiming at the crowd of the Great Western Army, and the grenadiers jumped out of the charging formation from time to time, throwing the igniting earth-shattering thunder into the opponent's formation.

Ma Yuanli struggled to support, but the volunteers kept coming, with the guard battalion in front and more than 1,000 militia groups behind, and their momentum was far greater than at the beginning.

In addition, it is rumored in the army that Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing are on the battlefield anyway, and they are now leading their troops back to Shunqing Mansion City to end the old nest after being dispatched by Yang Lin.

Unlike the regular army, the Great Western Army was accustomed to wandering and fighting, and often retreated when the battle was unfavorable, and there was no tradition of bloody battles to the death.

Now seeing the volunteers killing in waves, the smoke billowing in front of them, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and then hearing the friendly rebellion, the officers and men of the Great Western Army were terrified and did not dare to fight at all, especially some veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time pondered how to get out of the battlefield.

Ma Yuanli has been fighting for a long time and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and now seeing that the soldiers have no heart to fight to the death, he knows that the general trend has gone, so he hurriedly led his three hundred pro-troops to escape.

Unlike other troops, the Great Western Army was accustomed to wandering battles, and the main generals led a variety of elite soldiers, and Shengzhi used this as the backbone to desperately expand and increase its prestige.

If he is defeated, he will lead the backbone of the pro-army to flee, and then wait for the opportunity to rise again, so as to form a prairie fire again.

As soon as the main general fled, the Great Western Army suddenly collapsed, and Wang Jiye saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led his troops to flee in the direction of Xichong.

Ma Yuan's troops fled all the way, but their people were tall and big, and their armor was quite dazzling.

If you encounter other ordinary soldiers and horses, what is there to escape? But this time I met the volunteers, but it was an elite soldier of this era.

Since joining the army, everyone has enough food and bags, and they can still get a little meat every once in a while, and the soldiers are all physically strong, coupled with continuous training, the mobility of their units is far from being comparable to other troops?

After a year and a half of training, the daily march can reach fifty or sixty miles, and the rapid march can even reach seventy or eighty miles.

Now seeing that the Great Western Army has been defeated, how could everyone let go of such an opportunity, marching all the way, everyone shouted and pursued.

After hearing that it was Ma Yuanli who was wearing a white robe, Ma Yuanli hurriedly took off his white robe and fled.

But soon after, there was a voice, and someone shouted that it was Ma Yuanli who made the big knife.

Ma Yuanli was shocked and hurriedly threw away the big knife.

After a while, it was Ma Yuanli who was riding the yellow horse.

Ma Yuanli fled more than ten miles south with more than 100 people, and saw a force of more than 100 people blocking the way from a distance.

There was an obstacle in front and then a chasing army, there was no way, Ma Yuan's interest rate department rushed over.

But the opponent quickly set up a formation, after a few rounds of birds, more than ten war horses fell in front, seeing that the opponent's firepower was so fierce, everyone was terrified, and they didn't dare to fight at all, and fled by different routes.

Ma Yuanli fled to the east alone, but unfortunately fell into the depression, Ma Yuanli desperately beat the horse and galloped, but the depression fell deeper and deeper, and he had to dismount.

Looking at the people who rushed over, Ma Yuanli stepped on the mud and sand to fight, but the other party had no intention of fighting at all, and there was a round of bird guns in the distance, and Ma Yuanli was killed in the quagmire.

The two soldiers rushed over, and saw that Ma Yuanli's war horse was quite tall and strong, and the armor he was wearing was extremely exquisite, everyone estimated that he was a senior general of the Great Western Army, one dragging a horse, and the other dragging a corpse, ready to be confirmed by the battalion commander (general) Liao Qifang.

And Liao Qifang also heard from the captive that Ma Yuanli was fleeing here, and rushed to the horse, and saw that Ma Yuanli was dead, so he hurriedly sent a messenger to ride on the war horse, and shouted loudly.

It turned out that Liao Qifang received an order to lead the main force back to Pengzhou to participate in the decisive battle.

After some preparations, Liao Qifang led his subordinates to set off in the afternoon, walked all the way quickly, walked 70 miles of mountain roads, and stayed in Guojiazhuang, 30 miles north of the city, in the evening.

I set off early this morning, and I was going to intercept the rear road of the Great Western Army, but I suddenly heard that Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing were anyway, and immediately led their troops to block it, although Chen Yingrui and Feng Youqing ran too fast and slipped away, they still intercepted Ma Yuanli.

Yang Lin led his troops to pursue all the way, and at noon he heard that Ma Yuanli was executed, and after the various units of the Great Western Army were defeated, he immediately ordered Yang Wei and Yang Bingyi to lead their troops to clean up the battlefield, and personally led the guard battalion, the 1st, 3rd, and 4th battalions and more than 2,000 people to kill the city of Shunqing Mansion.
