Chapter 487: Chopping melons and vegetables, slaughtering dogs and sheep

After Tian Jianxiu's headquarters was killed and scattered by Shandong's cavalry, the Shun cavalry that Shandong withstood also had to retreat. Updated with the latest chapters

If you are still entangled there, it is easy to be outflanked by the cavalry of Shandong, and in turn you will be eaten by the little leftovers, and everyone will not be able to escape if they want to.

In fact, it was their own cavalry that gave the final blow to Tian Jianxiu's troops, and the cavalry that fell behind broke away from their own rout and fled in the direction of Tian Jianxiu.

For Tian Jianxiu, he didn't think this matter would happen, the current troops that can get out of this battlefield are cavalry, and a few more people are a few people.

He has already taken his own personal guard cavalry to run first, and when it is time to attack, it is indeed necessary to attack, but the other party occupies such a big place, and completely defeats his own team, so there is no need to stay here to die, and the general Tian Jianxiu has not experienced such a scene before, and it is important to escape with his life, as long as he is there, pull up the team and fight again.

If you can run out of more powerful troops, that's a good thing anyway.

10,000 people's infantry cavalry elite soldiers, as a result, only ran out of less than 2,000 people, this can be said to be a complete fiasco, on the battlefield or died or surrendered, but they are all the old soldiers and horses of the Shun army, belonging to the core strength, after discarding, it is difficult to replenish back.

Tian Jianxiu, the general of the Shun army, was naturally distressed, but what was even more strange about him was another thing, according to his estimation of the purpose of the Shandong soldiers and horses, this Shandong army between the Shun army and the Ming army should completely annihilate themselves, so that the news would not leak out.

But he ran out with more than 2,000 cavalry with the strongest mobility, why didn't the other party pursue it! This arrangement really made him a little confused.

Of course, there is also an even more terrifying idea that Tian Jianxiu doesn't even dare to think about, that is, the main force of King Chuang in the area of Xiangcheng is already at war with Shandong soldiers and horses.

Hurry up and report to King Chuang. The sooner you tell King Chuang. The less likely it is to avoid a similar defeat. But let Tian Jianxiu go back and fight again or wait for an opportunity to sneak attack. He didn't have the guts anymore.

When the battle is almost over. There was a roar of gunfire in the southern land. The last bit of luck in his heart was also shattered. The number of people in the opposing land is smaller than that in your own land. But they fought in two directions. It looks like there is a lot of cheap standing in both directions. Such a disparity and contrast. How to fight.

Think of the soldiers and horses on King Chuang's side. It is not much different from the quality of the soldiers and horses led by himself. The only difference is the number of troops.

On the way to escape. Tian Jianxiu suddenly felt very sad. Since the early years of Chongzhen. The land that dominates the world. The Ming Dynasty will be overturned. But in the end, he actually made a wedding dress for someone else......

Tian Jianxiu did not dare to delay. The number of horse troops in the Jiaozhou camp is small. This is no secret among the Shun army. Suddenly, there were so many ground armies in such a position. It can already be judged. It is very likely that the large army of the Jiaozhou camp is coming.

Fortunately, the Jiaozhou battalion did not send pursuers. The local township regiments of the Ming army were also panicked at this time. I don't know how to be good. Tian Jianxiu was sure that the news would pass through within two days.

The crux of the question is, are there two more days?

Compared with the tangled fight with the Shun army, desperately rushing, the battle on Gao Jie's side is very easy, and it is simply boring.

The sound of killing over there was already earth-shattering, and Gao Jie's brigade was still grinding, especially when he heard the shouts and killing sounds that suddenly exploded because of the cavalry collision, and even scared Gao Jie's forward troops to retreat, thinking that there was some conspiracy in this camp "Shun Army".

This return is not the retreat of the front team, because there is also a team of warlords in the back, but even the team of warlords is shrinking back together, which is a bit obscene.

It took a lot of effort on the side of Gao Jie, the chief soldier of Yansui, to determine that the shouting and killing was not aimed at him, but that there was also a battle over there, so he calmed down a lot, and then ordered his subordinates to move forward.

He judged that he understood, it does not mean that his subordinates judged and understood, the hustle and bustle on the battlefield, the people shouted and the horses neighed, and the killing sound was endless, so that Gao Jie's subordinates were all hesitant, this sound was already making them frightened, not to mention attacking the past, this Yansui General Soldier Gao Jie also knew that the soldiers were noble, and at this time he wanted to urge his subordinates to march, but when he urged it, the shouting and killing over there became smaller and smaller.

There are a lot of strange things in this change, but the soldiers under Gao Jie feel a lot more at ease, and this is the advance of the army, leaning towards the camp gate of the "Shun Army".

In the face of the Shandong cavalry infantry in this direction, the generals at all levels encountered the most troublesome thing since they participated in the battle, that is, the fire rope was burned out and the fire rope was replaced.

The smoothbore gun attached to the Jiaozhou battalion is to use the fire rope hung on the beak hook to ignite the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and the fire rope is generally very long, and the fire rope is always in a burning state when fighting, although it burns very slowly.

The firecrackers all have long arquebuses on their bodies, and they have to keep blowing to ensure that they burn, but when they encounter the enemy in this direction, it is a completely different situation.

The cavalry infantry came to the southern barracks and prepared to deal with Gao Jie's troops, but the firearms of more than 2,000 men against the opponent's army of almost 50,000 men could tell from the number what the situation would be, and the officers and soldiers had a prediction that it would be a very difficult battle.

Tang Er, the commander of the Ma army, also gave a promise, as long as it was supported until the army broke through the Shun army, the main force would immediately return, and the two sides would work together to defend.

The most elite unit in the Jiaozhou battalion is the Ma Army, among which there are many veterans, many of whom have rich battlefield experience, such a huge disparity in numbers.

Many people are reminded of the battle in the vortex, under the city of Kaifeng, in Hejian Mansion, the other side seems to be an ant-like soldier desperate impact attack, their side is constantly shooting with firearms, often the enemy can advance to within 20 steps, sometimes the firearms also have to wield firearms and short weapons to fight with the opponent hand-to-hand.

In that case, there are still spearmen behind you as a barrier, and there are fortifications that have been repaired in advance, so that you can fight a good defensive battle.

And now what can be relied on is this thin camp, his own number is small, and the other party is a trapped beast, and there will be a bloody battle at that time.

Everyone has come to their senses, but when they go to the battlefield, they can't cry or laugh and see it

The army was dispatched, and the firecrackers were ready to shoot, but Gao Jie's did not advance, and the firecrackers were tired even if the firecrackers were erected on the camp fence and wooden forks, but they were still tired of maintaining a fixed movement.

And after the fire rope burned out, the other party was still grinding and rubbing, officers and non-commissioned officers at all levels were really panicked at this time, they had never encountered such a situation, if the enemy planned to take the opportunity to rush up at this time, it was not to catch themselves by surprise.

After taking over and waiting for the change of the fire rope, Gao Jie's troops retreated a distance, and at this moment, the tension and the consciousness of death before going to the battlefield all disappeared without a trace, and everyone was a little bored waiting for the other party's attack, and everyone also figured out a little rule, as long as the shouting behind them was louder, the other party's should retreat slightly, and the team would be a little restless.

After a long time, Tang Er even sent cavalry over to inquire about the battle situation here, and Gao Jie's forward troops showed signs of entering the firing range.

The camp under Erliu is still a bit disciplined, the camp fence is dense and very high, a hundred steps away, in fact, I can't see what is behind the camp fence, I only know that there are a lot of people there to defend.

The attack of Gao Jie, the general soldier of Yansui, this time used the more traditional way of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the cannon fodder was in the front, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the troops, the more in the back, and the main general led the pro-soldiers and horses in the end.

What kind of fighting spirit and courage can the people in front of him, the closer they get, the more panicked they become, and they all slow down and push each other.

The soldiers who supervised the war in the back naturally did not agree, and at the beginning they still used the back of their knives and spear shafts to whip and beat indiscriminately, and then it directly turned into slashing, and it was to the point of tearing their faces, and this was the way to speed up.

In fact, the enemy had already entered the firing range of the artillery, but he did not fire under the officer's order, and he had to wait for the enemy's brigade to enter the firing distance of the firing ground before firing, not because he was worried that the lethality was not enough, but because he was worried that if the artillery here fired, he was afraid that he would directly scare these straw bags of soldiers and horses away.

After struggling and hesitating, Gao Jie's soldiers and horses finally walked into the range of the firecracker, a hundred steps, ninety steps, and the pace gradually began to speed up.

Both the musketeers and artillerymen turned their heads to look at the commander's face, and then checked their own arquebuses, in which case they must not burn out the arquebuses again.

It was not until fifty paces that the general commanding the firearms shouted loudly:

"Fire!!"

The signal for firing this time was a trumpet cannon, and the firing array of so many people, if it was shouted alone, I am afraid it would not have any effect.

In an instant, the guns were all in place, and the fence of the enemy barracks, which was still within reach, was suddenly covered with white gunsmoke, and high metal particles and projectiles symbolizing death flew quickly.

"Ignore the counterpart, reload ammo, and shoot flat, and everyone who hears my words, shout out my orders and repeat them out loud!!"

The commander in the command position shouted hoarsely, and the artillerymen, officers, non-commissioned officers, and cymbals below were all shouting along as they nervously reloaded their ammunition.

In such an environment, the order quickly reached the ears of everyone in the firearms unit of the Jiaozhou battalion, there was wind on the battlefield, and the smoke of gunpowder and the dust stirred up by walking were quickly blown away, but the soldiers and horses of Gao Jie, the general soldier of Yansui, were stunned at this moment, and they didn't know how to advance or retreat.

But the firearms unit of the Jiaozhou battalion was frantically stepping up, and the second round of shooting came again, and the ground was already full of dead and wounded.

Some people were not hit, they were crying and screaming there, and the soldiers in the back row who kept beating and scolding were also panicked, and they didn't know what to do at this moment.

After the second round of design, the cannon fodder in front suddenly woke up, turned around and ran in unison, and at this time, the soldiers in the rear team also reacted and began to block with knives and guns.

Although they were also panicked at this time, after all, they were not facing the blows of firearms and artillery, but the cannon fodder also had weapons in their hands, and many of these people were from the landlord militia, and they were also people who had fought with knives and guns for a few days.

The major events related to life and death, that is the most exciting potential, and the most able to arouse people's ferocity, since you are not allowed to run, then let the sword to make it clear.

If there is a companion in front of him, he will immediately slash down with a knife and stab at him, and if there is a soldier on the opposite side who is brandishing a sword to intimidate and intercept, then immediately fight hard.

The situation was chaotic, Gao Jie and his own soldiers were far behind, and they didn't know what was going on in front of them, and there was no order to issue for a while, so they couldn't deal with it, but the front was already a pot of porridge, and the worse problem was that the front team was still in the range of the fire cymbals.

Even though there is no hand-to-hand combat face-to-face, you may see the fierceness of the enemy, hear the enemy's shouts and screams, and smell the smoke and blood.

The firearms soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion were all nervous and busy, and they played a rare high efficiency, and the third round of fire and cymbal shooting came ahead of schedule, and the screams and chaos were amplified many times at this moment, and after a while, the second round of artillery bombardment was also fought.

At this time, even Gao Jie's supervising troops in front of him had no intention of fighting, and they also turned around and retreated, and rushed forward with intensive shooting with firearms, and it was a fatal intensive shooting, and they couldn't rush through, but looking at this appearance, everyone knew that it was still difficult for the "Shun Army" to chase it out, and running was the best choice.

The rout of the front team brought about a series of collapses, and the soldiers in front of them stepped down as quickly as an avalanche, and when the fourth fire was fired, some of them had already run out of range.

Tang Er, the commander of the Ma army, lifted his cloak there, wiped the sweat on his face indiscriminately, he looked at the chaos of the Ming army opposite from the lookout, smiled very disdainfully, and said to the soldiers below:

"Hurry up and get me a new horse, and gather all the active cavalry here!!"

After saying this, Tang Er hurriedly climbed down from the watchtower, in addition to cleaning the battlefield on the battlefield and guarding the surrender of troops, many of the cavalry who went to charge just now had already returned to the camp to rest, and when they heard Fang Cai's order, they all gathered in twos and threes and gathered here.

Tang Er turned over the horse that his own soldiers brought him, looked around, and said loudly:

"Old Tang knows

I'm tired, but this Gao Jiepian, although he is obscene, but with so many soldiers in his hands, it is also troublesome if he makes noise over and over again, and he has to hurt him once, let them know that it is powerful, and obediently stay in the nest and wait for death! ”

This was not like an order on the battlefield, but a homely tone, and the officers and soldiers of the Ma Army laughed when they heard it, Tang Er straightened up on the horse, and said even louder:

"Would you like to go out with Lao Tang, drive these rabbit cubs back to the hole, and come back and let's rest comfortably!!"

"I want to be with you!!" "If you're not tired, you're not tired, how can you be tired of killing thieves!!"

Hearing such morale around him, Tang Er sat on the back of the horse again, waved the vermilion spear in his hand with a smile, and shouted loudly:

"Brothers, go out and kill the thief!!"

After saying that, as soon as he lifted his horse, he went towards the camp gate on that side, and the cavalry behind him rumbled to follow, and everyone was laughing and laughing, and it seemed that he was not going out to fight at all, but to hunt.

Several of Tang Er's lieutenants hurriedly urged the horses to catch up, hesitated for a moment and said:

"My lord, is it a whole team to go out again, such a mess, I'm afraid there will be a mistake!!"

Tang Er shook his head, looked ahead and said with a smile:

"Don't worry too much, it's killing people when you go out in formation, it's just going out to drive sheep, and the noise is louder, let them move the door of their firearms for me, don't get in the way, and don't waste any more ammunition."

Several lieutenant generals were apprehensive in their hearts, but looking at the appearance of Gao Jie's soldiers and horses in Yansui, they really couldn't find any reason to be careful.

Originally, the generals who were quite cautious and cautious thought that Gao Jie's various performances were a strategy to lure the enemy, but now it seems that this is indeed a worry, Gao Jie has wasted to a certain extent, and there is no need to worry at all.

The shooting of the firecrackers had actually come to an end, because Gao Jie's front team and the troops behind him were like rabbits, and they had already run out of range, and the commander was wondering whether to send troops out to pursue, and was just about to ask Tang Er, but he waited for Tang Er's herald cavalry.

The firecrackers moved the wooden fence on the side of the camp gate with all hands and feet, and although Tang Er did not have a whole team, the cavalry behind him still automatically lined up in a rough formation according to their usual training.

The orderly march in and out was actually very fast, and under the cheers of the musketeers on both sides, these cavalrymen who had just experienced the battle appeared on the battlefield in another direction.

Tang Er raised the vermilion spear with one hand, drew a few large circles in mid-air, and shouted loudly:

"Spread out, chase these forward, kill what you can reach, catch up if you can't reach them, let them go back!!"

His order was loudly transmitted to all parts of the surrounding area by the soldiers, and although the soldiers of the Jiaozhou Battalion Horse Army were still tired, they all agreed with a bang, and they drove their horses apart and rushed towards the chaotic rout in front.

Gao Jie's soldiers and horses are worse than Tian Jianxiu's soldiers and horses, the quality is very different, the front team has already shown signs of collapse after being hit by firearms, and what is more troublesome is that the front team turned around and rushed to the back, so that more troops collapsed and collapsed, and they couldn't be contained at all.

When I watched the cavalry in the camp gate come out, the situation was even more out of control, looking at the smoke and dust raised, the huge momentum, the already low morale disappeared, and everyone wanted to turn around and run.

Many cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion charged when they were dozens of paces away from the enemy according to the preset drill code, but when they rushed to the front, they saw that the enemy had already run far away, and they had to continue to let the horses carry the pursuit, which made people very irritable, and many people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Encountering such a nest of soldiers and horses, so that the Jiaozhou battalion these standard soldiers feel extremely disdainful in their hearts, but it is also a big fire, thinking that the front may be cannon fodder, and there may be real soldiers in the back, so they have been chasing forward with horses, so wanton rushing and killing, breaking down the troops that still have some rules and pieces, and they can't be called troops at all.

The entire army disintegrated in chaos, and being in it was like encountering a storm and waves in the sea, and he couldn't help himself, Gao Jie, who was watching the battle in the back, was already gray, and this scene was already unstoppable.

Gao Jie's personal soldiers were there to persuade him and let him return to the camp temporarily, since this breakthrough failed, then continue to look for opportunities.

It's hard to say whether this is true or not, but if you don't go back to the current situation, you can't stay here and die, Gao Jie is not a character who can fight to the death, hearing these cronies say this, he is naturally ready to agree, the collapse of the formation is getting faster and faster, even if Gao Jie's Chinese army is located, you can see those cavalry rushing to kill.

Gao Jie betrayed from the camp back then, and later became an official in Shaanxi, and came to Henan many times to help suppress, and he still has a good understanding of the current clothes and clothes of the army.

Today, when I saw the firearm in front of me like a storm, I felt that something was wrong, and when I saw the costume of this cavalry, I understood the reason for the matter.

Gao Jie shouted hoarsely on his horse:

"This is Shandong Soldiers and Horses, this is Shandong Soldiers and Horses......"

Gao Jie, who has always been sleek and cunning, did not react on the horse this time, the cavalry in front of him got closer and closer, and even Gao Jie's troops directly under his army were in danger of being crushed.

Several pro-soldiers beside Gao Jie supported Gao Jie and the horses left and right, urged him together, and hugged him back to the camp, Gao Jie has always been in this kind of stupid appearance, and he only reacted halfway through, and he was also the general who commanded 10,000 people, so he immediately cried loudly, and said in a dumb voice:

"It's over...... It's all over!! ”

Time is pushed forward by one day, Xiangcheng North

The confrontation between the Ming army and the Shun army was not as wonderful as the northern front, the Ming army stayed in their camp lifelessly, and several breakthroughs organized by Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and Bai Guangen, the general soldier of Yulin, were beaten back, and there was nothing to be done.

On the side of the Shun army, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, summoned the generals in his military tent and said solemnly:

"The thieves have been trapped in a narrow place, running out of ammunition and food, the army has been routing for the past few days, and it is already the time for the final decisive battle.
