On the one hand, there was a disorderly and chaotic peasant army, even the armor and ordnance were not complete, and the weapons in their hands were all kinds of axes, hooks and forks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the other hand, there was a neat phalanx, all black and shiny iron armor, and soldiers with steel guns rushed in rows.

The phalanx of the Yong'an army was punctual and steady, like an iron hedgehog, and this attack formation was like a slowly marching thorny chariot, crushing all the enemies that could be seen.

"Puff~"

Soon after the two armies came into contact, this popping sound was constantly heard in the peasant army, which was caused by the tiger spear of the Yong'an army inserted into the flesh and blood of the thief.

What Yan Zhenghu said was exciting, but it was still the same old thing, first rushing and killing with a huge number of homeless, and then letting the old camp complete the final blow when the final battle situation was timed.

None of the bandit leaders were willing to let the elite of the old battalion charge, these old battalions were their magic weapon for victory, as long as the old battalion was not damaged, they could raise an army of tens of thousands of people in a very short time if they fled to the rest of the place.

This is also the reason why the official army encircled and suppressed several times at the end of the Ming Dynasty and repeatedly defeated the peasant army, but it was still impure and inexhaustible.

After being hit by the Yong'an Army's artillery, the momentum of the thief's charge is no longer so great, and some people have begun to be timid, thinking about their own careful thoughts.

The guns of the Yong'an Army are stirred up in the flesh and blood of the peasant army, and there is always a bloody rain, even the Houjin heavy cavalry wearing iron armor can't resist the guns of the Yong'an Army, not to mention these peasant troops who are not even complete in leather armor.

In the current Yong'an Army, every soldier is an experienced veteran, and they are all carefully selected from the Zhenwei battalions from all over the country.

Xiao also spared no money, everyone was equipped with fine armor and ordnance, once the war started, the whole army hated the same enemy, just like one person.

On the other hand, the peasant army seems to be huge and invulnerable like a tide, but in the eyes of all the Yongan soldiers, it is really chaotic and vulnerable.

Cui Wenyong and several surviving family members in the city watched this scene, and they were almost speechless in shock.

"This, this, this... It's unbelievable. ”

"Mr. Qian, look, the Yongan Army is still advancing!"

From their point of view, although the Yong'an army charged, it was still in a fox line formation, and tens of thousands of peasant troops rushed up without fear of death, but they were like the tide crashing on the reef, and they could not shake this huge army formation in the slightest.

Regardless of the army of thieves and robbers, the army of the Yong'an Army is still like a column of harvesters marching on the battlefield, the blood and guns have long been stained with the flesh and blood of the thieves, and under the steady pace of each soldier, all the corpses lying are the miserable faces of the thieves.

At this moment, a torrent of shouts erupted in the Yong'an army's array.

"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!!"

As far as the eye can see, thousands of fast-moving elite soldiers suddenly rushed out of the Yong'an Army's military formation, which was to kill horses for the Yong'an Army.

The horse slashing team is armed with a Wansheng hook, which can be used as both a unit to resist cavalry and a sharp knife on the battlefield, and this is not over.

The formation of the Yong'an Army suddenly moved again, and the bloody spear forest in front of them, which made the thieves frightened, slowly move to both sides.

"Look, the dog officers and soldiers are in chaos!"

Someone in the peasant army suddenly shouted in surprise, but it didn't last long for joy when a black-pressed cavalry rushed out from behind the steel spear forest, waving the shiny heavy knives in their hands.

The first of these cavalrymen carried a banner of fiery horses flying high, and the rest of the cavalry turned out to be one man and four horses, fully armored from head to toe.

This not only frightened the peasant army, but also made the surviving officers and soldiers in the city and the people who went to the city to watch the battle feel inspired.

"Cavalry battalion, charge into battle!"

Zhou Baotai took the lead, Wei Zhongwu and Lai Damao were left and right.

Every cavalryman behind them grew into a real cavalryman in the tempering of war and fire, and the rumbling hooves of horses stepped on the ground, directly cutting through the peasant army's vague formation.

Countless peasant troops who couldn't dodge were knocked away, and with the Yong'an army's infantry advancing again, the last trace of luck in the hearts of the peasant army was shattered, and countless people ran and howled, quickly turning from victory to collapse.

The cavalry battalion rushed left and right in the peasant army, as if entering a no-man's land, no one could stop the edge of the Yongan army's cavalry.

Finally, after taking the cavalry back and forth to cut through the formation of the peasant army several times, Zhou Baotai set his eyes on a small hillside in the distance.

"All the troops, go out of the city with this official to kill the thieves to help the Yong'an army!"

Cui Wenyong gritted his teeth, led the few remaining family members, gathered the remaining hundreds of officers and soldiers in the city, and rushed out from the west gate of Yangqu County.

Although there were few officers and troops in this force, everyone was very brave, and the peasant army was frightened by the Yong'an army, and there was no fighting spirit left at all, and they were just bent on fleeing the battlefield and escaping from the terrifying army.

The officers and men who rushed out of the city did not encounter much resistance, and many of the thieves who fled did not even know where to throw their weapons in their hands.

Cui Wenyong struggled to hack one thief to death, and when he saw five or six thieves around him fleeing without hesitation, he immediately laughed.

"Happy, happy! This is the real battle, this is the nature of these thieves! ”

"Yes, my lord, let these thieves run away, hahaha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a family member on his side exclaimed in the distance, Cui Wenyong followed this family's gaze, and his jaw was about to fall in shock.

I saw an iron cavalry of about 1,000 people, like an iron cone, suddenly inserted into the center of the peasant army, and marched all the way, and actually went straight to Yan Zhenghu.

Yan Zhenghu was originally wishful thinking, and he was waiting for the military report from the front, thinking about when to let the old battalion enter the battle, but the more he waited, the more wrong it was.

The shouting of killing was getting closer and closer to him, and none of the several old battalion horse teams he had just sent out came back, and Yan Zhenghu felt more and more frightened.

At the moment, I had to slowly drive the horse up the hill to find out.

Yan Zhenghu, who climbed the small slope, was taken aback, and what appeared in front of him was the scene of thousands of old battalion soldiers being defeated, and an iron cavalry was stepping on the billowing smoke and dust, rushing towards him unscrupulously.

"What's going on with this tenderness, horse team, horse team, hurry up and put Lao Tzu on top!"

Zhou Baotai, who was rushing, was about to flee after seeing Yan Zhenghu's sword and gun giving orders, took out the three-eyed gun he was carrying, and pulled the trigger with a slight glance.

"Bang!"

Yan Zhenghu was riding his horse and turned around, when he suddenly heard a loud noise, and a hot projectile whistled past his ear, rubbing a bloody mark on his big face covered with stubble.

Yan Zhenghu was even more frightened, with no fighting intent, and he was about to ride his horse and run away in a hurry.

Zhou Baotai rushed to the front of the whole army, which belonged to the deep enemy formation, and there was still a distance of about three steps from Yan Zhenghu, but Zhou Baotai knew it.

If this Yan Zhenghu is allowed to ride his horse and turn around, the distance of these three steps will immediately become thirty steps, three hundred steps, and then the army will stay away, and if the thief army is surrounded, the cavalry camp will be unsustainable!

Zhou Baotai gritted his teeth, and when he was galloping, he suddenly supported the horse's back with his left hand, and actually jumped up on the horse.

At this moment, a thief cavalry rushed forward, and Zhou Baotai did not hesitate, and stepped directly on the shoulder of this thief cavalry with his right foot.

With a scream, there was a clattering sound on the horseman's shoulder, and he rolled off his horse, while his mount was still rushing forward due to inertia.

"Hah!"

Yan Zhenghu had just turned around on his horse, and with a loud shout, he was about to urge the horse to flee from here, but the Yong'an Army general actually flew over from behind and grabbed his skull with his legs.

Yan Zhenghu struggled fiercely, touched the knife with one hand, grabbed Zhou Baotai on his head with the other, and yelled even more.

A cold light flashed in Zhou Baotai's eyes, his legs increased his strength, and he spun violently in the air.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, Zhou Baotai sat back on Yan Zhenghu's mount steadily, while Yan Zhenghu fell off the horse with a soft head.

Cutting off Yan Zhenghu's head with a heavy knife, Zhou Baotai looked around at the old camp of thieves.

Wei Zhongwu was fighting with the thief horse team, when he suddenly heard a mountain cry and looked over in surprise.

"The general has to make a great contribution to capture and behead the thief!"

"Wan Sheng!!"

Xiao Yi stood on the Yuan Rong car, looked at the peasant army that broke up like a tide, and then looked at Zhou Baotai, who was looking at him with a smile on his face, and was also very relieved, he really didn't see the wrong person.

On the fifth day of the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Yan Zhenghu and a peasant army of tens of thousands besieged Yangqu County, and the garrison general Dong Youniu led his family to die.

Xiao also led the Yongan army to help, and the two armies fought fiercely for more than half a day, and Cui Wenyong, the commander of the town guard in the city, also led the official army out of the city to attack.

In this battle, the Yongan army beheaded more than 2,000 people, killed the thief leader Yan Zhenghu, and the thief army collapsed to Jiaocheng.
