Chapter 275: Lost a general soldier at the beginning

"The lord has an order, don't leave one, kill!"

Zhang Nianen looked at these shocked Jinyi guards, and waved his knife mercilessly, and the soldiers behind him suddenly moved forward, and the fire guns and crossbows of the hundred-man team took the lead for a while, and the surrounded Jinyi guards were beaten with a wolf crying and howling.

However, they are at an absolute disadvantage, not only in terms of numbers, only one-tenth of the ambushed beggar soldiers, but also in terms of equipment, they are also at an absolute disadvantage, because the authority of the Jinyi Guard is not specialized in combat, so most of their equipment is also splendid knives and mandarin duck robes, and there are almost no long-range weapons.

Therefore, after the encirclement is impassable, they cannot do any harm to the regular army at all.

At this time, those who dare to rush forward to fight are basically not courageous, but simply stupid and bold.

Soon, after clearing out those who dared to resist on the periphery, Zhang Nianen commanded his troops to start breaking into the Jinyi Guards in small formations, beginning to divide them, and then using superior forces to encircle and annihilate.

And the soldiers and horses of the Jinyi Guard are all in extreme shock at the moment, and their combat power is only two or three layers, and because their comfortable days have passed for a long time, they don't know how to fight at all.

In the battle in groups of three or five, they broke up one after another, exposing their backs to the begging officers and soldiers who were waiting for them, naturally there were many auspicious and unlucky, and in a short time, there were less than a dozen brocade guards who could stand on the entire territory.

"Who are you who dare to attack the imperial court officials!" The eunuch was fine, he was wrapped in the middle by a few brocade guards, and now he was not injured at all, but he was already wet between his legs, bringing a commotion smell, which made the soldiers of the brocade guards around him frown.

Seeing him ask tremblingly, Zhang Nianen sneered, "Come on, don't let go of any of them!" ”

As a result, hundreds of soldiers who were eyeing each other around suddenly rushed up and divided their bodies with knives.

"Every corpse must be mended, don't let go of a single person, miss the lord's big business!" Zhang Nianen then gave stern orders to his cronies on the left and right.

"Yes!" Those people and horses suddenly didn't dare to slack off, and they went up one after another, and began to mend the knife to the seriously injured Jinyi Guard.

"Who are you?" Although Hong Chengchou was questioned by the court and imprisoned, his eyesight did not regress at all, judging from the behavior and fighting of this group of people, he was not an ordinary thief, even if it was the old battalion of the thief army, he should not be such an elite.

If it weren't for the fact that they were all dressed in miscellaneous clothes, this would be the living main elite of the three sides!

"You are Hong Chengchou?" Zhang Nianen came up a few steps, looked at the old man in the prisoner car, and said uncertainly.

"This official is exactly!"

Hong Chengchou squinted at him, as if trying to see something in his words.

But Zhang Nianen quickly stretched out his hand, and several guards behind him immediately came up, released him from the prisoner car, and then walked away.

"Who the hell are you?" Hong Chengchou felt more and more puzzled, but he had to ask, who knows who this group of people is.

"To be honest, I didn't see what you could make my lord jealous," Zhang Nianen followed behind and said lightly, "If it weren't for my lord to spare your life, you would be like them now." ”

"Hmph, how can the old man be greedy for life and afraid of death." Hong Chengchou struggled hard for a while, but the corners of his clothes were wrinkled, and he didn't like it very much.

Zhang Nianen sneered when he heard this, "If you are afraid of death or not, the decision is not in your hands, but in the hands of my lord, come!" Stunned, take him away. ”

……

The newly released deputy chief military officer of the imperial court, Li Jing, the chief soldier of Yansui, moved to Anbian, and led the three main battalions of the first brigade of the first brigade of the town of Qinwei to fight the banner of the general army of Yansui of the imperial court, ranking east of Pingyu, and first sent people to contact Ma Shilong, the chief soldier of the suppression and reinforcement.

After Ma Shilong received the letter, he was ecstatic, he was made miserable by the second brigade of the beggar army in front of him, Chen Da in order to achieve the purpose of training the army, the three battalion leaders took over each other to send troops to fight, and attacked the 3,000 standard battalion led by Ma Shilong.

Once Ma Shilong concentrated his superior forces and prepared to fight with the thieves, Chen Da decisively led people to flee, so that the Ming army could not fight at all.

Because of the 3,000 standard battalion strengthened to Ma Shilong, there was a shortage of horses, and the 5,000 headquarters was only 150 war horses, and Chen Da's command, because of the plundering of the big clans and military households in the interior of Pingliang Mansion, there were 1,100 horses, which were not pursued by the Ming army at all.

In the long run, during the more than 20 days of confrontation, Chen Da continued to use the high-speed mobility of the troops to attack the weak points of the officers and troops.

Three or five times a day, dozens of officers and soldiers retreated, and the anxious Ma Shilong did not jump to scold his mother.

This time, he finally waited for the rescue army of the imperial court to advance westward, and he really had a long drought and nectar.

"My lord, Mr. Li sent troops to recover the Anbian Station, in the southeast of the thief army, if our army is concentrated in one place and goes straight to the horse pass, then the thieves will inevitably come to the rescue, and then there will be a general soldier under the command of Li to attack the thief's side, then it will definitely win a big victory."

A thousand presidents of the standard camp can't wait to speak, it's really these days, it's too depressing, and there is hope for a turnaround, that's not gearing up.

"What I said is very true, we have been aggrieved for a long time, go up to **** and talk about it." There was a thousand general manager who couldn't hold it anymore and almost roared and shouted.

"This is very good, and I agreed with General Li that we will march to Xiamaguan in two days, and attack the thieves before and after, and we must recover the lost territory." Ma Shilong also wants to have a good fight before Zhang Fengyi takes office, after all, he has to rely on some credit, and he can also take the opportunity to share some troops.

After getting Li Jing's exact reply, on December 19 of the fourth year, Ma Shilong ordered 2,000 men and horses from the Shaanxi Standard Battalion and 300 private soldiers, and set off from the garrison one after another, and soon arrived in front of Xiamaguan.

Twenty miles to the southeast, Li Jing also led 3,000 men and horses of the First Brigade to take position, and because he knew the movements of the officers and troops in advance, Chen Da concentrated the main force of the 2nd Brigade in Pingliang Province with more than 4,000 people at Pinglu and Xiama Pass, and sent the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Brigade to cooperate with the 3,000 men and horses of the 1st Brigade and the 1st Battalion of the 1st Brigade, which had been temporarily reinforced, to turn to the northwest along the southeast road and directly penetrate the flank of the officers and troops.

On this side, the officials and soldiers did not arrange many men and horses to be on guard because of their gullibility in Li Jing.

"Lord General Soldier, there are 3,000 thieves, and they are three miles out of the customs to invite battle!"

Ma Shilong originally thought that the thief army would either abandon the pass and flee under the attack of the officials and troops of the two northeast roads, or defend the pass, and he didn't want the thief army to dare to go out of the city to fight, and he was immediately ecstatic.

ordered, "Burn the beacon fire and ask General Li to attack the flank of the official army, and our army will immediately take over the battle and fight with the thief army!" ”

Even though there were many losses in the previous battles, Ma Shilong believed that the officers and soldiers were elite, while the thieves were of different quality, and there were no artillery and other weapons.

But when he was about to engage in battle, he gasped, and saw three thousand men and horses on the opposite side, who were elite and extraordinary, not only the former had more than a thousand cavalry to suppress the formation, but also three or four hundred firecrackers, and hundreds of crossbowmen on the left flank, which was not counted.

It's just that in the battle array, the black pressure of a piece of cannon muzzle is aimed at this side, looking at more than 30 artillery pieces, this time, Ma Shilong is completely confused, who is the official army!

"How can thieves have so many artillery?" He roared to the left and right to ask, but no one dared to answer, to put it mildly, everyone now even has the idea of escaping, I thought that the thief army had more than a thousand cavalry at most, but I didn't expect that there were not only cannons, but also firearms, this charge could not advance, and the retreat was afraid of the enemy's cavalry chasing and killing.

What a dilemma!

"For today's plan, use firearms and crossbowmen to line up in front of the battle, guard the Chinese army with sword and shield soldiers, beware of the thief cavalry charging into battle, and wait for General Li to send troops to attack the attack, if the thief is in chaos, he can take advantage of the situation to cover up." I have to say that Ma Shilong's wishful thinking is extremely smooth.

If he really followed his plan, Li Jing led the troops to copy his own back road, it would be a big joke.

It didn't take long for something to chill the officers and soldiers, and the scouts behind reported that there were two or three thousand troops, moving to their flanks and rear, among them the thief Kou Zhao Ziqi.

"Why don't you report it early?!" Ma Shilong almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"My lord, the east is the area where General Li's troops are deployed, and our brothers are staring at the west and south, where can we care about this." A general in charge of searching the perimeter of the battlefield cried with a sad face, but he had no choice but to mention it.

Ma Shilong was angry, and shouted directly on the war horse, "Shameless boy, you dare to play tricks on me." ”

But now it is useless, and it is clear that the thief army has passed through Li Jing's defense area, and has gone around to his side, waiting for him with his pockets open.

But what made him puzzled was that it was Li Jing who agreed to challenge the thief army in Xiamaguan, and it was also Li Jing who let the thief army pass through the defense area, what kind of court official army is this!

There was no trace of the friendly troops that appeared at the scheduled time, which was already a heavy blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers.

And the strength of the enemy in front of him is much stronger than expected, and this is the second blow.

And since ancient times, unless there is a determination to break the kettle in advance, any army will try its best to avoid its own back road being cut off.

Obviously, the standard battalion under the command of the governor of Shaanxi is elite to the elite, but it has no determination to fight to the death, and it has been hit by a series of blows, so it is good to be able to barely keep the formation out of order, not to mention what is the reversal of defeat into victory.

"God-damn Li Jing'er," Ma Shilong only felt upset and depressed, but he couldn't stop scolding, and after a while, he fell off the horse, and his private soldier immediately rushed up to save people, and the entire army was so excited by him that he couldn't hold it anymore.

After all, there is no chance of victory, and no one wants to fight. (To be continued.) )
