Chapter 51: Becoming a King and Losing a Villain (I)

At this stage of the battle, it became clear that the Qin Domain's army had taken its last breath. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Chen Wen held the binoculars and looked at the Qin Domain's army, which relied on wheel warfare to continuously throw new forces to avoid collapse, according to the experience of fighting with the Qing army over the years, the Qin Domain's army was able to survive until now and indeed relied on the fire and smoke on the side of Yuanzhou Prefecture.

However, at this point, I'm probably almost at the limit.

"Pass the order, clean up the battlefield after the battle, don't delay dinner, it's time to push them."

"Yes!"

The heralds mounted their horses and rushed in the direction of the Yuzhang Division of the Chinese Army, the Siming Division on the left flank, and the Yuyao Division on the right flank. A moment later, a group of people wearing helmets, visor armor, half-body plate armor, raw cowhide belts with knives and bayonets, and a bulging shoulder bag on their backs, but carrying a flintlock-style Lu Mi gun on their backs, came out of the crowd. Everywhere they went, the soldiers were all refreshed.

This team came to the hollow phalanx at the front, infiltrated into the gaps of each team, and one by one did not take the fire hammer or draw the sword, but took out a black ball from the shoulder bag, lit the fuse with a fire fold, and threw it directly into the battle formation of the Qin army, which had been squeezed by the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies.

Chen Wen has always been constantly adjusting the weapons and armor of grenadiers, from the initial grenade with cold weapons ironclad infantry to break the formation, to the later grenade with armorless flintlock gunners, and now the grenade with flintlock pistol, bayonet and the spare weapon Qi knife for hand-to-hand combat, this combination can obviously play a better role for grenadiers on the battlefield.

The front row threw grenades, grabbed the flintlock pistols and loaded them with bayonets, while the rear team had finished loading and strode forward, raising their guns and firing at the most threatening targets.

The sound of explosions rang out one after another, just like the southeast meridian mark that was encountered by the grenadiers in Yushan back then, the army of the Qin Domain had never seen such a formation, and they were immediately blinded on the spot. This was followed by a burst of firearms, which made another round of thinning of the front row that had been knocked out.

In an instant, consciousness was restored, and in the face of the assault of the spears and the grenadiers who had already loaded the bayonets, the front of the already broken formation collapsed with a bang, and the rout turned around and ran, and soon began to snowball through the ranks behind, causing an irreversible rout almost instantly.

Seeing that the army of the Qin Domain, which was still trying its best to support just now, could no longer maintain its formation after being attacked by the grenadiers, the whole army collapsed in front of the already somewhat tired Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming army tossed by the wheel battle, and the ironclad infantry of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted and killed the rout's defensive line.

The infantry pursued in formation, while the cavalry fought through the gap between the phalanx, and soon caught up with the tail of the rout. Next, the spears, sticks, and sabers were aimed at the back of the rout's heart and the back of the head, and the screams further accelerated the collapse of the Qin army.

The rout fled backwards like a tidal wave, fear spreading, and this army, which was as large as three times the number of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, became a plate of scattered sand in just a moment.

"This, this, what's going on?!"

Sun Kewang's front army had already been thrown into the battlefield to replace the battered battalion leaders, and now he was in the rear, and all that remained was a few cavalry, which were only used as his personal guard. The army was defeated like a mountain, and this bit of troops was also the fate of being swept up in an instant, but Sun Kewang only had one thing in his mind at this moment, that is, what happened just now, wasn't it a war of attrition, why did it suddenly collapse.

"King Yue will use demon methods, and King Yue will use demon methods!"

The rout was undoubtedly a shout mixed with screams, and Sun Kewang, who was stunned by this, could easily hear it clearly, but he couldn't believe it at all.

"Nonsense, by no means, this is absolutely impossible!"

Sun Kewang shouted in despair, but the rout army could no longer be stopped, and was even sweeping towards them. The guards around him knew that Sun Kewang couldn't accept this fiasco and the fate he was about to face after the fiasco, but out of the duty of guards, especially since these people were also Sun Kewang's cronies, only if Sun Kewang was alive would they have hope.

Seeing this, the captain of the guard hurriedly stepped forward to remind Sun Kewang, and it was easy for him to react, but without waiting for them to persuade him, Sun Kewang actually rode his horse and ran in the direction of the camp, but instead shook these guards.

The guards chased Sun Kewang's good horse all the way away, and the routs behind them also poured over like a tide. In the midst of the rout, groups of cavalry of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies were struggling to drive out the rout, and only these routs could ensure that casualties were minimized like sheep driven by wolves.

Shen Jiabao leaned forward on the right side of the horse's head, and with a single sword, the rout fell in response. There were too many defeated soldiers around, and they originally planned to kill a way, and after they caught a high-ranking officer of the Qin Domain, they could also write down a heavy stroke in the merit book if they were captured and sacrificed.

Since the eighth year of Yongli was rescued by the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang on Dalan Mountain, Shen Jiabao and a large number of rebels who participated in the revival of Dalan Mountain, including Jiang Han, joined the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang. It's not the idea of repaying gratitude, he was a member of the Ming Army of Dalan Mountain, that experience, especially the blind command of Huang Zongxi and the Wan family brothers, also made him see it thoroughly, what Wang Jingluo's sons and daughters, what Lu Jian Dynasty's imperial history, are all nonsense, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army led by Chen Wen is the real continuation of the Ming Army of Dalan Mountain, and the others are fakes, otherwise how could Governor Wang send someone to ask Chen Wen for help when he was on the mountain.

After entering the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming Army, he walked out of the recruit training camp, and he was assigned to the cavalry battalion under the Yuzhang Division. It has to be said that it is a pity that he failed to catch up with the two famous kings and failed to catch up with the recovery of Nanjing, but the importance of guarding Jiangxi is something that every soldier of the Yuzhang Division can understand, because while the army has achieved these brilliant achievements, they are also really resisting the pressure of Sun Kewang's bastard. And now, it's time to get this account back.

"Bastard, you actually ran away."

Sun Kewang was gone, how could he see it in the chaotic army, but when they really killed under the banner of King Qin, they saw that there was no one, and this anger spontaneously rose. You must know that they were the first team to kill, and even they didn't see Sun Kewang's shadow, let alone the others.

"Don't let that bastard run away, let's cut down this banner first, capturing the flag is also a great achievement, don't lose it."

The person who spoke was a former officer of the Jiangxi Green Battalion, who joined the army half a year later than him, and is now the deputy captain of his 100-man team. On weekdays, Shen Jiabao doesn't look down on this former Green Battalion officer, and always feels that this guy is a grade lower than them, the rebels who have always resisted the Qing Dynasty, but looking at the good talk of this guy on weekdays, and then looking at the bravery of this guy when fighting with enemy horses on the battlefield, especially the friendship of fighting together, the senses are also very different.

"Yes, cut down the banner first, let's not be idle, do you see it over there, it seems to be an officer, you can't catch a big fish, and you can be hungry if you catch a small fish."

The banner of the lord of the Qin kingdom fell to the ground with a bang, and the collapse of the army went one step further, shouting to the heavens and the earth, in addition to the king of Yue's demon law, there was also a desperate cry that the king of Qin had been killed, and this army of the Qin domain, which was once famous for a while, was really not saved.

The collapse of the army and the loss of courage are beyond the power of man. Behind the torrent rolling westward, Chen Wen scattered all the cavalry while the infantry was pursuing, even the guards of the Yue Wangfu. And he returned with the two infantry battalions of the Danyang Division, which were the reserves, to repair the pontoon bridge on the water - the grain and grass of the army were easily transported, and they were all in the city of Yuanzhou, and it was always necessary to ensure the smooth flow of this grain route.

The army collapsed here, and Wu Dading and Zhang Sheng on the east bank also returned with their cavalry - they didn't know how they lost, but if they lost, they lost, and as a result, although they were cavalry clusters, it was equally dangerous to stay here, especially the cavalry of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies had proved their stronger strength in the cavalry battle a few days ago.

The pontoon bridge was quickly restored, and the main force pursued and killed the main camp, capturing a lot of Qin soldiers along the way, aiming at the principle that they were also warriors who resisted the oppression of the Manchu nation, Chen Wen did not treat them like he did with the Green Battalion soldiers, but asked them to hand over all their weapons, and their personal belongings could be kept by themselves, but they still had to stay in the prisoner camp, and their release still had to wait for Chen Wen's order to be issued.

"Dashuai, this is the Southwest King Division that was the famous king of the two years back then?"

At nightfall, the main force had already occupied Sun Kewang's camp and began to rest here, only the cavalry was still chasing those southwest Ming troops relentlessly.

Wu Dengke has been in western Jiangxi for a long time, and the Yuzhang division led by him has always been the pillar of optimus facing Fan Wencheng and Sun Kewang on the western front, and this division-level unit was the first to be formed because it had to face the threat of Sun Kewang. In the past few years that Wu Dengke has been in charge of western Jiangxi, it is not that there has been a military conflict with Sun Kewang, but that is only a weapon fight of dozens of people outside the city, and there has never been a battle like this now, who would have imagined that this strong army would be so powerless in the face of them now.

"The coach is different, Sun Kewang's internal affairs ability is extremely strong, and he is also quite talented in supporting hundreds of thousands of troops in two poor provinces. However, it is impossible to expect him to achieve much in commanding operations. ā€

The intensity of this battle is not low, but the actual pressure on the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang is much worse. The quality of the manager is a question, but it is not decisive.

"The battle at the fork in the road in the seventh year of Yongli also caused a lot of damage to the Tartars, but the main force of the Qin Domain suffered a lot of losses, especially the front army, which were the core forces of Sun Kewang. In the past few years, the King of Jin has fought a few battles in Liangguang, with victories and losses, but Qin Fan, hehe, fought a battle of Changde and lost. The proportion of veterans has dropped seriously, and the recruits have been trained for several years, not because they are not unable to go into battle, but they always lack the will tempered with blood and the experience of piling up with the bones of the corpses. ā€

No matter how well the army is trained, it has never been in battle, and it has never seen blood, it is always a grade worse. Thinking back then, the reason why Chen Wen was able to quickly gain a firm foothold in western Zhejiang, in the final analysis, was that the battle behind the Siming Mountain Palace played a momentum, and the Nantang battalion at that time relied on victory to achieve the sublimation of the army's combat effectiveness and completely condensed the overall will, otherwise even the best opportunity may not be able to grasp.

"Then there is the existence of the command problem, the war elephant and Luo Luo, these are the killer weapons that the southwest king division relies on to break the formation, if it is the commander, he must always find a suitable point and release it, instead of distributing it evenly to each department like Sun Kewang, in a vain attempt to crush it comprehensively. One general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. ā€

Speaking of this, Chen Wen sighed, not thinking about whether there would be a different result if the commander was changed, but in the final analysis, these people were also anti-Qing troops, but now they are thrown into unnecessary civil wars because of the ambitions of the superiors, which is really a pity, especially those soldiers who died in battle.

The last general felt that, in the final analysis, the Southwest Wang Division had not made any progress in tactics over the years, and was still resting on its laurels. Even if it is a Tartar, it has been fighting with our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Wang Shi for a few years, even if he can't keep up with it tactically, he also understands it, at least he has been trying to deal with it, and Sun Kewang doesn't even have this opportunity, and he still emphasizes personal martial arts so much in his tactics, and there is only one way to die for our Jiangsu and Zhejiang Wang Shi. ā€

Chen Wen has been at war with the Qing army for many years, and the existence of the generation gap makes the strength level of the two sides finally have a gap, although the southwest Ming army was strong in the sixth year of Yongli, but it was only against the Qing army. Moreover, Sun Kewang is still trying to rely on war elephants and Luo Luo to fight against the quasi-modern army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming, and it is not abnormal to be submerged by the tide of modernization.

Ma Xin came to his heart one by one, and all the generals also expressed their agreement. Since the beginning of the fourth year of Yongli, the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang has not been fighting for a year, and it is not new to have a large-scale battle when there is a small time, and once in half a year when there is more. While accumulating combat experience, the army is also constantly innovating its tactics to make the army's combat effectiveness stronger and stronger. As a result, the gap will only widen.

"In the opinion of the last general, even if the King of Jin comes, there is only one defeat to write about the current battle formation of our Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies. The Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the recovery of the Han family, in the final analysis, still depends on our Jiangsu and Zhejiang kings, or on our handsome! ā€
