In this year (Longqing 2, that is, 1646 AD) in mid-October led an army of 100,000 to Yanting County, Tongchuan Prefecture, after thinking of being driven out of CD City alive by the volunteers, and remembering that only Shunqing Mansion still has a large amount of surplus grain in the whole Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong released a rumor that he wanted Yang Lin to know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he would lead the soldiers of the three armies to capture Shunqing Mansion City.

However, the strength of the Volunteers is growing, and the strength of the Onishi Army has long been different from before, a few months ago under the CD City) the opponent built a tight fortifications after the field battle could not defeat the opponent, now it is definitely more difficult to attack Shunqing City.

At this time, Zuo Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin offered a poisonous plan, that is, to lure the snake out of the hole and the righteous warriors to send troops to the field.

Yang Lin claims from time to time that he is a Qing official, loves the people like a son, and saves the people from fire and water?

I attacked the cottages in the surrounding jurisdictions, plundered the food wealth of the villagers, and Yang Lin had to lead his troops to fight under the pressure of the people.

The Great Western Army took advantage of the unstable position of the opponent's camp to lead its troops in a field battle, defeated the main force of the Volunteer Army, and then approached the city, so that Shunqing City could go down day and night.

Every once in a while, Zhang Xianzhong sent people and horses to go deeper into the county border for more than 20 miles to rob grain.

However, many local people originally lived in the cottages, or relied on the cottages as their own places to settle down, coupled with the previous few years of trouble, Yao Huang, bandits, and the encouragement of the government in the past six months, the cottages built to resist the invasion of the Mongol Tatars have been re-strengthened

Although many people live at the foot of the mountain, but now see that the world is about to be in turmoil, everyone will move all the valuable things to the cottage on weekdays, although they work in the farmhouse under the mountain, if they encounter the robbers and bandits, beat the gong and drum and call friends into the cottage, and then rely on the cottage to rely on the defense.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that in order to break through the steep pass, it is necessary to open the way with heavy firearms and artillery, and then under the cover of long-range weapons, the infantry will be strong and stubborn to seize the dangerous pass and win.

However, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the elite soldiers and horses were equipped with tiger squat cannons, Franc machine guns and other artillery, and the soldiers were equipped with long-range weapons such as bird guns and bows and crossbows.

The rogue invaded the cottages, not only in the face of the various cottages built by the villagers spontaneously, but also in the face of the county security regiments and the local volunteers.

No, on this day, Di Sanpin, the governor of Daxi, led 3,000 soldiers and horses into the nearby Pengxi county town to plunder grain, and saw the villages along the way beating gongs and drums from a distance, and some places even let out wolf smoke.

Di Sanpin was brave and fearless, and led his troops to Luojiazhuang, a large cottage with a radius of more than ten miles, to storm it.

But the people on the cottage had already prepared, men, women and children all went out, and everyone stood in the dangerous place one by one desperately throwing stones, throwing stones, or throwing arrows and crossbows down the mountain.

The people of northern Sichuan are brave and ruthless, coupled with the fact that in recent years, they have successively made trouble with the rogue (Zhang Xianzhong has entered Sichuan five times, and Li Zicheng has also gone deep into the four (Sichuan) many times), making local riots, making bandits, and there are many people who practice martial arts, so it is not surprising that there are a few good shooters in such a large cottage.

A few days ago, when I heard that Liukou was close to the left, under the leadership of the lieutenant and the patriarch, everyone prepared overnight to move all the valuable things to the cottage, and even prepared more stones in some dangerous places, so that the other party was not caught off guard.

Di Sanpin was quite annoyed, but there were no heavy firearms at this time, Di Sanpin asked the crossbowmen and bird gunners to hide in several rows behind, covering the infantry in front of them to climb along the sheep intestine path and attack the cottage.

Although the villagers were quite brave, they were helpless because they lacked training on weekdays, and rarely saw such bloody scenes.

After attacking like this for two hours, when he was about to break through the last mountain gate, suddenly there was a shout of killing from behind, Di Sanpin looked back, and saw more than a thousand people killing from a distance from a mile away.

There are more than 3,000 people in his own department, and the other party is only more than 1,000 people, it seems that many of them are still around the people, seeing that Di Sanpin breathed a sigh of relief, in addition to leaving one to continue to attack the cottage, he led the troops to kill.

As soon as the two armies met, Di Sanpin found that it was not like that.

With a wave of the general battalion commander Wang Hu's hand, the militia in front gradually dispersed, and the various musket squadrons of the Volunteer Army lined up, and then approached the rogue who rushed over with a step.

This is the most common salvo tactic used by the Volunteers musketeers, who win the battlefield by firing a continuous salvo at close range to break down the opponent's position when the two sides are fighting at close range.

Although arquebuses are now mostly used in various units, due to the fear that the musketeers of open flames will not be able to fire a salvo close together, even the sparse Lala and this kind of sparse Lala multiple consecutive salvos often crush the courage of the opponent to fight back.

Di Sanpin had fought with the main battlefield of the Volunteers many times, and now his mind was numb when he saw this formation, but he thought that his side had a large number of people, and hoped to win the battlefield victory through numerical superiority, and did not want to surrender and admit defeat so early.

Di Sanpin was like this, and the front-line soldiers were even more so, seeing the other party rushing over in a neat formation, some people felt frightened, and kept letting go from afar.

As mentioned earlier, the Minutemen had long since abandoned their armor and now wore helmets to protect against shots, and a cuirass on their chests to protect them from bows, arrows, muskets, and swords.

Although the rogue infantry was far away, because the distance between them and the crosshairs were too poor, they were sparse, and although they occasionally hit the breastplate, the damage was very limited.

And this musketeer of more than 300 people continued to approach the rogue under the leadership of the captain and squadron leader, seeing that the opponent's lineup was so neat, there were few soldiers in the whole battalion who showed a frightened look, and some of the rogue who rushed to the front felt frightened, many people began to stop, some of the timid ones were ready to slip away, and more kept holding up the bird gun in the hope of continuously releasing the gun to dispel the fear in their hearts.

The two sides were more than 80 paces apart, and the volunteers in the front row stopped, and with a burst of orders, everyone shot at the rogues not far away.

After a round of fierce fire, several people fell in front, and the soldiers in the back jumped up one by one after rejoicing that they had not become the target of the arrow, shouting and brandishing steel knives.

The gunshots continued to ring, but because the arquebusiers were relatively loose and the rogues were cruel and murderous, after several shootings, they actually rushed to the front and fought with the various killers in cover.

Between the two sides, each musket squadron quickly pressed the spurs, and then stood on the mountain beam and fired their guns at the rogues below.

Seeing the brothers around him keep falling, Di Sanpin felt that his heart was bleeding, and he killed and injured more than 100 people just by breaking through the musket squadron to block the short soldiers and trying to catch them.

The only chance now is to get out of the hitman's squad and rush to the musketeer's side for hand-to-hand combat.

But as time went on, Di Sanpin became more and more disappointed, these musketeers did not want to be like other musketeers who were only equipped with short weapons such as machetes, and after loading the spurs, they seemed to transform into spearmen one by one and fight with the close Onishi soldiers.

In addition to the first time, there are a large number of militia soldiers, they wield spears and steel drills, and some wield hoes and iron spears to join the war group, although everyone is poorly equipped, but one by one is strong, plus to defend their hometown, to defend their relatives, morale is very high.

On the other hand, in the Great Western Army, except for the pro-army under Di Sanpin, which is quite well-equipped, the others have not undergone any training, and one by one seeing these mountain people so fierce and fearless of death, many people are so frightened that they retreat again and again.

Di Sanpin repeatedly slashed and killed several people, so as to stabilize the situation a little, and now Di Sanpin's greatest hope is to rely on the numerical advantage to defeat the more than 1,000 people in front of him and save the face of the Great Western Army.

But with the passage of time, especially when I saw that the soldiers of that battalion of volunteers often rushed back and forth as if they were in a no-man's land, the people of the surrounding cottages kept rushing down the hillside, everyone called friends, men, women and children one by one brandished hoes and sticks to kill them.

The shouts of the villagers were everywhere in the mountains, and seeing the villagers gathering more and more, the rogues were quite timid one by one, and many people began to disperse.

Although Di Sanpin was quite unwilling, he saw that his soldiers were terrified one by one, and in the end he had to lead his troops to rout.

The officials, soldiers, and the people chased and killed all the way, and many of them could not run at all because of malnutrition, and many of them fell to the side of the road and raised their hands to capture, and more than seven or eight hundred people were captured after the pursuit for more than ten miles, so it can be seen that the morale of the rogues is low.

Wang Hu led the villagers to take the opportunity to counterattack, chasing and killing for more than ten miles before stopping, and then carrying hoes, steel drills, and axes one by one under the leadership of the township chief to escort the captives to wait for the fall.

Standing on a mountain beam more than ten miles behind, Yang Wei, a staff general of the 3rd Regiment, breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard that the rogues were attacking the mountain village two days ago, he led his troops to Pengxi County, and at the same time, the letter from the adults also arrived.

In his letters, he repeatedly asked for the concentration of his forces to deal a fatal blow to the enemy who had invaded the Kou, and to ensure that victory would be foolproof.

According to the adult's method, it was determined that the rogue might be the next to rob the village, and then mobilized the surrounding militia groups, and mobilized the main force of the 3rd Regiment to rush to the surrounding ambush.

On this day, the Liukou really robbed these villages, Yang Wei led the main force to hide in the distance, and his subordinates led the general battalion commander Wang Hu to lead his subordinates to attack with the cooperation of the local militia group, and launched a counterattack by surprise.

At the beginning, after suppressing the other party with firearms, sure enough, the local militia and the surrounding cottage people were greatly demoralized, and everyone didn't care whether they would be ordered to kill and support from their respective cottages, and finally the villages within a radius of more than 20 miles were dispatched, so as to thwart the plot of the rogue to rob the grain.

Hearing that Di Sanpin was defeated by the local militia group, Zhang Xianzhong was very angry, and immediately sent more soldiers and horses to the surrounding counties to plunder.

But Yang Lin seemed to have been prepared, and sent multiple regiments to the front line to counterattack the rogues who had penetrated deep into his realm.

Although there were gains during the period, they were often ambushed by the officers and soldiers, and each ambush was seriously damaged, and they had the intention to send more soldiers and horses, but it was like mud into the sea, and the volunteers of various numbers continued to appear on the battlefield to make people dizzy.

The tactics of the volunteers emerged in endlessly, there were large corps ambushes, and even sent strong people to hide in the cottages, and when the Great Western Army attacked the cottages, everyone kept firing guns to block the enemy.

After more than 10 days of looting grain, the Great Western Army lost more than 1,000 men and horses, not only did it fail to achieve the strategic goal of luring the main force of the volunteers out of the city for field battles, but also lost troops and lost generals, and everyone sighed, and the morale of the whole army was even more sluggish.
