Chapter 1459: Hold on to the end
readx; After a series of huge explosions, corpses were strewn all over the field in front of the infantry position, and the elite cavalry who had returned from the old age suffered nearly a thousand casualties in an instant! The remnants of the soldiers who survived because of a slight fall, no matter how fierce their temperament was, were all frightened and stupid by this miserable scene like Shura's hell, and finally shouted and turned their horses away in defeat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info?? One? Reading book 1 Yang Tinglin really didn't expect the battle situation to be so reversed, so he laughed.
In fact, it is not surprising that the reason why Liu Quanzhong has such a small number of troops and is so confident is because his subordinates carry a large number of grenades. When the enemy charges in a dense formation and rushes to within 30 paces, it is the perfect time to swing the power of the grenade. In particular, cavalry charges have much larger targets than infantry, and the lethal effect is naturally more obvious.
Just now, Liu Quanzhong gave an order, and the reserves of three companies and two companies in the front, a total of 500 soldiers, each threw five grenades in a short period of time. Five-five is two thousand five hundred, in a relatively small battlefield, so many grenades to greet these thousands of enemy troops, so how can there be a good one? Even if a few grenades failed to explode, they still wiped out a large number of enemies in an instant, and the arrogance of the so-called "Hui Army" was defeated at once.
At this time, seeing the rout of the thieves, Liu Quanzhong immediately ordered the artillery and infantry to stop firing, and deliberately let the defeated soldiers retreat to the camp. Yang Tinglin just wanted to ask Li Laiheng why he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, but saw that Li Laiheng was very relaxed, and he was still in the mood to chat with the people next to him at this time, and it seemed that he didn't plan to pursue at all, so he had to endure it vigorously. One read the book ww?w·1?k?anshu
However, I saw a small group of infantry troops from the infantry position, the number of which was about fifty, and all the birds were loaded with bright bayonets, and the battlefield was cleared in an orderly manner. The so-called clean-up is actually to check whether the enemy soldiers are still dead, and if so, make up a few knives. Soon some painful screams sounded on the battlefield, and Yang Tinglin couldn't bear to see such a tragic situation, frowning and not looking over.
Seeing this, Li Laiheng quipped: "It turns out that Lord Yang is a bodhisattva, and he can't kill people." Now this is not bad, I heard that in the past, the officers and soldiers used to count their combat exploits by head, and after the battle, they had to cut off the heads of the dead corpses and pile them into a pile, and the scene was much more bloody than this. ”
"It's not that students have the kindness of women," Yang Tinglin shook his head and said, "It's just because these thieves were also my Ming people before they rebelled, and they were killed today because of a single thought." For them, they are 'knowing today, why bother in the beginning', but for the imperial court, killing a thief, if you kill a common man, the more you kill, the more you hurt the vitality of the country, isn't it painful! ”
Li Laiheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Lord Yang is talking about a big truth, and the last general is a rough person, and he can't understand it, but he thinks it's quite reasonable." A look at the book?? w?ww?· 1?k?an?sh?u?thieves are all Han after all, and no matter how much they kill, they are not capable. If you can kill the Tartars like this, then it is called pleasure, and that is the real feat! ”
Yang Tinglin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This is not what the students mean, killing thieves is the same as military exploits." The thief is to the Ming Dynasty, like the poisonous sores to the body, although it is painful to remove the sores from the flesh, but it has to be done in order to cure the disease. Besides, Jiannu is not three-headed and six-armed, the official army is so powerful, the general and his Japanese army will send troops to Liaodong, and the big destruction of Jiannu is just around the corner! ”
Li Laiheng hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Yang has raised the last general, and the Tartar is not so easy to deal with." How can people rush up stupidly like this? It must be a one-touch retreat, chasing us can't catch up with others, and we don't dare to chase; If we defend it, we will have to consume food and grass and military supplies, and when we are exhausted, we will have no rut, and it will be too easy for the Tartars to clean us up at that time. Hehe, if only the Tartars were as stupid as a thief, that would be great! ”
Yang Tinglin thought about it carefully, and smiled ashamedly: "It's the students who talk about the army on paper, and it seems that they have to ask General Dingnan for advice." ”
"Lord Yang, don't boast about the last general, no matter how much you praise me, you have to find a crack in the ground to get into!" Li Laiheng laughed embarrassedly, "How can the last general compare with you talents who are full of wealth, when I was in Beijing, the saint always thought that I was unwilling to study hard, and sometimes I couldn't answer a question in the exam, so I had to be reprimanded by the saint." After returning to Beijing after quelling the rebellion this time, the last general will have to have Lord Lao Yang to help the last general make up for the class, so as not to make the saint angry, please please! ”
Not to mention that these two people talked and laughed, and on the side of the thieves, after the defeated soldiers fled back to the camp in embarrassment, they returned to be a little rougher, and more than 4,000 people went out, only more than 2,000 returned, and nearly half of them were reimbursed. But he was so distressed that he was so angry that he screamed violently, and angrily smashed some of the looted precious porcelain in the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, several other leaders also rushed to hear the news, and hurriedly dissuaded them. Lao Huihui scolded angrily: "These damn Han people dare to let my Huihui warriors sacrifice so much!" After breaking through Yangzhou, I have to kill the whole city without leaving a chicken, so that a hundred Han people and a thousand Han people can take the life of my returning warriors! ”
Lao Hui only cared about his own scolding, and He Yilong and He Jin's faces immediately pulled down. If nothing else, the old man returned to this scolding, but he brought all the Han people, including them. Originally, among the thieves, because of the relationship between ethnic contradictions, the other families were quite discordant with Ma Shouying and Ma Jinzhong. He Yilong and He Jin had no choice but to follow Lao Hui because they were afraid of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others "eating black and eating black". Now it seems that in the eyes of others, these Han people are still a little shorter than their own Huihui, how can they not be angry in their hearts.
Or Ma Jinzhong saw the signs, quickly diverted the conversation, and forced the old man to reply: "It's useless to be angry, we still have to discuss, what should we do next?" ”
Several people immediately argued. He Yilong and He Jin felt that Yangzhou City was in a hurry, and the official army copied it from behind, although the troops were not many, but the firearms were very powerful, and the head-on confrontation was not an opponent at all, as evidenced by the fiasco just now. Instead of going under the old city, it is better to withdraw the siege first, meet with Cao Xiang and others along the other way, and then don't make other plans.
However, Lao Huihui resolutely objected, he believed that the defenders of Yangzhou were at the end of their strong crossbows, and they would be able to break through the city with more effort. Although the officers and troops who came to help were strong, they had very few troops, and if hundreds of thousands of people were frightened away by thousands of people, spit out the fat that was about to reach their mouths, and they would lose tens of thousands of horses in vain, they would not let the other leaders die of laughter? Therefore, he advocated holding on to the end and must break through Yangzhou.
Ma Jinzhong naturally breathed out of one nostril with the old man. The strength of the two families was far away from He Yilong and He Jin, and their arms couldn't twist their thighs, so the two had to agree. In terms of specific deployment, Lao Huihui decided to launch a general attack on Yangzhou City at the same time by thieves on three sides, while the north retreated inward for three miles to avoid the fire of the official army.
But it can't just withdraw, what if the officers and soldiers catch up? It is necessary to make a feint attack to slow down the pace of the officers and soldiers. This unfortunate task, unsurprisingly, fell to the weakest He Yilong. After agreeing, He Yilong said goodbye and left the account, and scolded in his heart as he walked: "Thief, your mother! When I was really blind in my eyes, you guys ate meat, and let me be beaten one by one, and I thought it was beautiful! ”
