Chapter 79: Winning in Danger
Yang Lin was about to lead his troops in pursuit, when he suddenly heard a shout of killing from behind, turned his head to look, and saw nine dragons leading more than 200 people to kill him.
Yang Lin secretly shouted that it was dangerous, if it was not for the decapitation method to defeat the enemy in front of him, the Pengzhou soldiers would inevitably suffer heavy losses under the two-sided attack, on the one hand, he ordered Long Zhijiao to lead the third game to meet him, and on the other hand, he led the main force to cover and kill the local tyrants who were scattering.
Hearing that the Black Tiger King Gao had died in battle, and seeing Yang Lin leading nearly 400 officers and soldiers to kill him, Yao Tiandong secretly complained to himself.
Although more than 15,000 people gathered this time, the vast majority of them were people who came with it, and only 2,000 people lived on the tip of the knife for a long time.
Take the more than 10,000 people who crossed the river, of which 2,000 were led by Yang Bingyun, the second sentinel, and six teams of Ma Chao to leave the ferry, and there were only 8,000 people at the ferry.
Now the local rioters are divided into three major groups, that is, the Hedong Qiwang Group, with a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses.
More than 2,000 people led by Yang Bingyun and Ma Chao of the sixth team have already left the ferry and can return to help at any time.
The main force led by Yao Tiandong was stationed on the edge of the ferry, except for the white dragon, the black tiger king Gao, and the nine dragons Liu Jinfu, although Yao Tiandong had 5,000 people around him, most of them were strong men who were captured, although these people had steel drills, axes, spears, and sticks, which could deter the other party, but they had no training at all.
Seeing bursts of bullet fog constantly drifting on the field, hearing the dense gunfire on the field, one after another, the Pengzhou soldiers defeated several local thugs one after another in less than half an hour, and these people who were coerced were frightened, and some of them fled around, not daring to meet the battle at all.
Yao Tiandong's face was pale, and the only thing he could count on now was the three hundred personal soldiers under his command, these people had been in war for a long time, and many of them wore armor, and their combat power was comparable to that of ordinary officers and soldiers.
I hope to lead the pro-army to resist first, and then clamor for the people who have come to surround the other party, so as to achieve victory.
At this time, Yang Lin returned to his horse and used a monocular to observe the enemy situation while gathering his troops.
There were bursts of shouting and killing from the west, and it seemed that Bu Ning, Guo Chonglie and others had exchanged hands with the returning local tyrants. The officers and soldiers had more than 200 cavalry, and they were not only well-trained but also prepared for work, and it seemed that they would be foolproof.
Long Zhijiao led the department to meet the nine dragons Liu Jinfu's two hundred personal soldiers, the other party's sneak attack failed and was fleeing in all directions, and Long Zhijiao and others could return to help at any time.
The 3rd Infantry Division led by Yang Wei had already secretly approached the ferry, and it might attack the ferry at any time.
In addition, what is even more gratifying is that the talented Wang Rimeng has now gathered thousands of people, everyone brandishing hoes and shouting loudly to kill.
Seeing that the local people were still like this, the morale of the people soared, and Yang Lin knew that it was time for the general attack when the soil riot army was disheartened.
Yang Lin sent a messenger to recall the Dragon Frame Division, and personally led a large army to approach the ferry, and sent a signal for a sneak attack.
As three arrows pierced the sky, Yang Wei led his troops out of the forest next to the ferry.
Just now, the attention of both sides was attracted by the frontal battle site, and they didn't notice the downstream ferry at all, with the help of mountains and rivers and forests as cover, Yang Wei led his troops to trot all the way, just ambushed in the woods, and then looked at the scene of the fight.
Unexpectedly, the local tyrant was so unbeaten, and the adults won three battles in a row, winning three games in a row in less than half an hour, and defeating the opponent's 3,000 people with 500 men.
Yang Wei led forty people to rush to the front, each with a long machete, and a basket of tung oil behind them, rushing to the ferry under the cover of archers.
The rear was attacked by the local tyrants' formation was in chaos, everyone did not dare to meet the enemy and scattered everywhere, the defeat was like a mountain, the fear of infecting the whole army like a plague, and the local tyrants could no longer assemble a formation to resist.
Yao Tiandong has been a thief for more than ten years, of course, he knows that the general trend has gone, and now he can't care about the main force of the Pengzhou soldiers at all, and leads his own soldiers to flee in the direction of the ferry.
The routs were crowded together and chaotic, and it was very difficult to squeeze to the ferry.
Yao Tiandong brandished a big knife, claiming that those who dared to block it would be killed, but the people were in a loud voice, who would care if you were in charge in order to escape.
Finally rushed to the ferry, saw piles of flames burning around, two pontoon bridges had been cut off, and the Pengzhou soldiers were shouting and rushing to the remaining pontoon bridge.
Yao Tiandong was shocked and desperately fled to the pontoon, but the golden armor on his body was too dazzling, and everyone saw a middle-aged man dressed in gold running towards the ferry from a distance, and they all shouted not to let go of this golden helmet man.
Yao Tiandong was distressed, and for the first time he felt the danger brought by the golden helmet and golden armor on his body, and just after taking two steps, he suddenly saw a tall man blocking in front.
Yao Tiandong brandished the big knife and slashed, his hands were numb when the two knives touched each other, and the blade in his hand was almost out of his hand, and he was forced to take two steps back before he could stabilize his body.
Seeing that although the other party was tall and couldn't imagine being so small, Wang Gao himself seemed quite unconvinced, and saw that the other party took two steps back before he dared to meet him.
The two sides fought together, Yao Tiandong was killed only to parry, and in the end, the whole person was cut to the ground, and was hugged by several soldiers around him and pressed to the ground.
The big boss Yao Tiandong was captured, and the Pengzhou soldiers succeeded in the sneak attack and won the risk.
After the news of the victory spread quickly, the hearts of the local rioters plummeted, and the voices of surrendering their guns and not killing came and went, and many people threw away their weapons and surrendered with their heads in their hands when they saw that the general trend had gone.
Liu Jinfu, the nine dragons, originally wanted to flee to the ferry, but just after the news that the official army occupied the ferry and the big boss Yao Tiandong was captured in front of the ferry, he wanted to lead the crowd to escape, but was surrounded by the local people, abandoned his weapons and surrendered.
On the way, the six teams of Ma Chao and the second outpost Yang Bingyun heard the news that the official army had set up an ambush at Baozhi Ferry, and the rear was in an emergency, and hurriedly led the troops to come to the rescue.
At this time, news came from the direction of the ferry, the local tyrant was defeated, the big boss Yao Tian was defeated and captured, Yang Wei led the official army to outflank him, everyone was shocked, Ma Chao led more than 80 horsemen to escape, and the second outpost Yang Bingyun escaped and was captured alive.
On the opposite side of the ferry, Zhang Xian, the king of neatness, saw that the general trend had gone, and in a hurry led the territorial thugs to retreat, and since then, the ambush battle at Baozhi Ferry has ended successfully.
In this battle, Yang Lin defeated more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the local tyrants, Yao Tiandong, the leader of the bandits, was captured, Liu Jinfu, the nine dragons, and Yang Bingyun, the second whistle, were captured, and Zhang Xian, the king of neatness, and the remnants of the six teams of Ma Chao fled back to Dazhou.
In this battle, more than 300 local rioters were killed and more than 700 were wounded, and more than 2,000 local rioters who crossed the river were captured.
In this battle, more than 20 Pengzhou soldiers were killed and more than 50 were wounded, most of which were in the middle of the first and third divisions responsible for the main attack.
Looking at the burning battlefield and hearing the wails of the wounded, Yang Lin was worried, not to mention anything else, there were less than 1,000 soldiers in Pengzhou, and the number of prisoners actually reached 2,000, which was unimaginable in ancient times.
In order to win over the hearts of the captives, Liu Jinfu, a nine-dragon soldier, surrendered voluntarily and was appointed as the captain of the brigade, so that he could serve before collecting his troops.
The second sentinel Yang Bingyun was defeated and captured, and was pushed in with his head drooping, and the soldiers were forced to kneel, and the surprising other party resolutely did not kneel.
Yang Lin said angrily: "You have been a thief for many years, and your crimes are extremely heinous, and today you are captured by this general, why don't you kneel?" ”
Yang Bingyun wiped the beads of sweat from his face, and arched his hand: "The adults use soldiers unbelievably, but this is just that the winner is the king and the loser is the villain.
I have been a thief for many years, but I am not a heinous crime as adults say, but just like a good man in Liangshan, he is chivalrous and righteous, which is not tolerated by the government. ”
Yang Lin laughed and said: "You said that you are like a good man in Liangshanbo, you say, how can you be like a good man in Liangshanbo?" ”
Yang Bingyun arched his hand and said: "The government is corrupt, the people are not able to make a living, the field is only 5 liters of rice per mu, and the government receives 2 buckets of grain at all levels. ”
Yang Lin nodded and said: "Those who are good will help the world, and those who are poor will be good alone, and it is true that you will rebel against the government, but why harm ordinary people?"
If you look at what you have done in the past few years, you have robbed the government and the big households, not to mention the ordinary peasant households.
Not to mention anything else, along the way, you broke through several villages, mutilated hundreds of lives, killed people and set fires, ** women, is this a heroic act? ”
Yang Bingyun's expression was gloomy, and he arched his hand for a long time and said: "The lesson of the adults is that we didn't want to do this at first, but now we don't have anything to eat at all."
Along the way, I have repeatedly warned my subordinates not to kill people, but I really can't care so much about fighting. ”
Yang Lin shook his head and said: "You are wrong again, you said that you resisted the expropriation of the government in the past, of course you know that the people's livelihood is hard."
Tell me what would happen to the common people if they were robbed of their last rations by you? ”
Yang Bingyun was shocked, and quickly knelt down, begging for forgiveness again and again.
Seeing this, Yang Lin immediately explained his political measures to him, and the other party was even more convinced after hearing this, and knelt down to ask for forgiveness for his crimes.
Yang Lin helped him up, made him the captain, and ordered him to gather his old troops to serve in front of the army.
