Chapter 372: A Hearty Defeat Battle

In the current Daishan Army, the ratio of musketeers to pikemen is one to two. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info There were 2,000 pikemen and 1,000 musketeers in the 3,000 army.

The pikemen who jumped out of the boat were the pikemen, one by one with spears in hand, hungry wolves rushing towards the green battalion soldiers who had just been bombarded by artillery.

Liu Nan sat on the war horse, and when countless scattered bullets flew, he immediately pulled up the war horse, but he was not injured, but the horse under the crotch was hit by several projectiles, and a miserable sound of "slippery" flipped Liu Nan to the ground.

Attacked by a storm of bullets, coupled with the fact that the main general fell to the ground, most of the remaining more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers were injured, and there was no fighting spirit at all.

The two thousand spearmen tidied up the array a little, and under the leadership of the battalion leader Chen Mingyang, they closely followed behind the defeated Green Battalion soldiers.

Ren Xingfan commanded a thousand musketeers to divide into two regiments, guarding both sides of the pikemen, and shooting the green battalion soldiers who were trying to gather with muskets.

Under the command of Ren Xingfan, the three thousand elite soldiers were like a sharp knife that was fiercely inserted into the waist and ribs of the green battalion soldiers, blocking all of them invincible.

Countless Green Battalion soldiers fled crying and screaming under the drive of thousands of spears, and the flight of some of the defeated soldiers caused even greater panic. Many of the originally neatly assembled teams were rushed by the defeated soldiers, and many soldiers subconsciously followed and fled, ignoring the main general's shouting and cutting their throats.

The panic spread like a plague, and countless Green Battalion soldiers threw away their weapons, spread their feet and fled. People have the mentality of conformity, and when they see the one in front of them fleeing, they can't help but want to flee with it.

Although there are more than 50,000 green battalion soldiers under Liu Liangzuo, these 50,000 people are distributed in the wilderness two or three miles wide, and it is always only a part of the army that can contact and fight with the 3,000 people of the Daishan army.

For most of the Green Battalion soldiers, they were still the Ming army a few days ago, and although they surrendered under the leadership of the main general, many people have not turned this corner in their hearts. After all, there are a few people who are desperate to be traitors, and most people still have shame in their hearts. When they saw the Ming army wearing mandarin duck jackets coming towards them, many people were reluctant to fight with their former comrades from the bottom of their hearts. That's why there are scenes of continuous routs.

Liu Liangzuo looked at the battlefield in front of him dumbfounded, and saw that the two thousand archers he sent were scattered by the defeated soldiers before they reached the river bank, and then joined the ranks of the rout. Watching his infantry phalanx collapse one after another under the onslaught of the defeated soldiers, one by one the lieutenants of the general army turned their horses and fled to join the fleeing array.

"This, this, this," the corners of Liu Liangzuo's mouth trembled, he never thought that his 50,000 army would be defeated by thousands of Ming troops, it was the same Ming army as himself, not an invincible Eight Banners soldier, when did the Ming army's combat power be so strong!

"Sons, kill me with me!" Liu Liangzuo brandished his lance and rode his horse towards the Daishan army, and the fifteen hundred personal soldiers around him followed closely behind him. It is necessary to stop the attack of the Ming army, if the 50,000 army is defeated by a few thousand Ming troops, what face do you have in front of the Manchurians? How can such a scumbag's combat effectiveness be valued by the Manchus, then his position in the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be in jeopardy!

Liu Liangzuo was born in the Datong border army, and because he often rode a variegated horse, he was called Huama Liu. After more than 20 years in the army, he fought on the battlefield, fought with Li Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other peasant armies, and won many victories. Therefore, Liu Liangzuo still has no shortage of courage in fighting all year round, and his subordinates are also quite powerful. It's just that the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners is spread among all the Ming troops, so when the Qing soldiers came south, Liu Liangzuo, who had tens of thousands of soldiers, did not dare to be enemies with the Qing soldiers.

For Liu Liangzuo, the army under his command is the capital of his high-ranking officials, if his subordinates lose too much, his status will be greatly reduced, and as long as he has the army in his hands, whether it is on the side of the Ming Dynasty or surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, he will live well. Of course, another reason for Liu Liangzuo's surrender to the Qing Dynasty is that he has a younger brother named Liu Liangchen, who surrendered to the Manchus with Zu Dashou during the Battle of Daling River more than ten years ago.

So when he was cornered, Liu Liangzuo still had the courage to fight. And the 1,500 personal soldiers under his command, who have been well maintained by him all the year round, are the only ones who look forward to him, and Liu Liangzuo is already an inseparable one, so he naturally followed him and fought against the defeated army to kill the Daishan army.

Chen Mingyang led two thousand pikemen to rush and kill, and rushed more than a mile from the side of the canal, and almost no Qing soldiers dared to block the way. The feeling of assassinating from behind is really good, and the green battalion soldiers in front of them are crying and shouting one by one to run away, but no one is willing to turn back and resist.

Quickly rushed out, stabbed the spear in his hand fiercely, felt the friction between the blade and the flesh, listened to the popping sound, watched the red blood stain the red tassels, pulled out the gun and looked around, looking for the next fleeing back.

After chasing and killing more than a mile, the array of the Daishan army was already a little scattered. Zheng Shuang, who was led by Chen Mingyang to chase and kill, didn't notice it at all, but Ren Xingfan, who was in command behind, had already realized the existence of the crisis, and he had already gone too far into the enemy's array! Previously, the Qing soldiers were caught off guard, but if the Qing soldiers reacted, as long as they slightly delayed their own attack speed, the other Qing soldiers surrounded and killed, and then they would fall into a vicious battle!

And it was only the Green Battalion soldiers who he was chasing and killing, and there were 10,000 Mongolian cavalry of the Eight Banners in a neat array in the south, if they joined in, it would be difficult for his 3,000 people to retreat to the river!

When they attacked the Green Battalion, the people who were coerced and coerced in front of them were left unguarded, and they all fled one after another, and fled to the canal under the guidance of the sailors on the canal. For the people living in Yangzhou, there are few people who are not accustomed to water, as long as they can escape to the river, it is easy for them to swim through the canal more than 100 meters wide, as long as they can escape to the east bank of the canal, it means to escape!

Ren Xingfan looked back and saw that most of the people captured by the Qing soldiers had fled towards the canal, and he knew that he should also order the army to turn back.

With the sound of the herald's gong, the pursuing pikemen stopped, and after more than half a year of training, they had become accustomed to orders and prohibitions.

Chen Mingyang stopped unsatisfied, complaining in his heart why Ren Xingfan ordered to stop the pursuit.

Two thousand pikemen quickly sorted out the queue, and at this moment, Liu Liangzuo came over with 1,500 personal soldiers. And a mile to the south, the Manchu Belenikan was also sending troops to try to leave this bold Ming army on the canal! (To be continued.) )
