13 Battle of Yanggu County

In the course of the march, Li Long did not dare to be careless at all, and along the way, he sent reconnaissance team members to patrol back and forth within a range of 10 miles from the front and back with the brigade as the core, on the one hand, for the sake of vigilance, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to march from a long distance to temper the reconnaissance team's reconnaissance ability and cooperation with the brigade.

In this way, the brigade walked for four days, and on this day it happened to pass by Fangshan, when the soldiers of the reconnaissance team came to report that there was a group of rogue bandits in front, about 20,000 people, who were attacking Yanggu County. As soon as Li Long heard this, he immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.

Yanggu County is very famous for Li Long, the famous Wu Dalang, Wu Song, Pan Lianlian, and Ximenmen are all people from this place, and the cooking cakes here should be delicious. After defeating the Liukou, you must go to the magistrate of Zhaoyanggu County to get delicious food. Especially Wu Dalang's cooking cakes.

As the army approached Yanggu County, Liukou obviously got the news and immediately stopped attacking Yanggu County, turned around, and prepared to meet the official army.

The men and horses on both sides could see each other, and then Yang Dali suddenly said: "General, look, this bandit seems to be the one we fought when we were in Hejian Mansion, and the leader seems to be the fifth and sixth who ran away later." Now he has become the boss. ”

At that time, the brothers asked Zeng if he had killed them all, Zeng couldn't bear it, he thought that these peasants would change their ways, but they didn't expect to get worse, and gathered tens of thousands of horses to attack Yanzhou, the capital of Shandong, and they were really looking for death. We must not let them go this time," Li Long said angrily

Li Long is naturally not clear about the cause and effect, but he understands one thing, if he wants to reach Yanzhou Mansion, he must pass through Yanggu County, and after passing through Yanggu County, he must first repel the bandit army in front of him. Therefore, Li Long also immediately ordered a formation.

When Li Long ordered the formation of the musketeers, Zhang Garrison began to move towards the right flank of the Liukou brigade. Chen of the pikemen quickly moved in front of Li Long's crossbowmen. The other pikemen, the broadswordsmen, all wore double armor, and within the iron armor, there was also a vest-style cotton armor.

Chen Jixiang Chen Garrison has been discussing the art of war with Li Long for the past few days, and he has also gained the essence, and Li Long also wants to see how much Chen Jixiang has grown in the array. Li Long motioned to Chen Jixiang's super-long spear formation.

The weapon of the super long spear had risen as early as the early years of the Ming Dynasty and declined in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Because in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it attached importance to civil officials and despised military generals. Caused a large number of generals who could use the phalanx of super long spears to die one by one, and then there was no heir. The extra-long spear became an ornament. After Li Long saw the extra-long guns in the warehouse of Qingzhou Mansion, he ordered all the troops that originally used short guns to replace them with extra-long guns.

A short spear, a short spear with a shield, is useful against cavalry, and is useful in hand-to-hand combat with cavalry. But not good at arraying. When a war is fought, the soldiers often work in silos and cannot form a united force. , a short spearman with high martial arts is powerful, or a hundred super long gunners with general martial arts. This is obvious. The Macedonian phalanx of pikemen can stab any opponent who tries to rush up to them into bloody skeletons.

The Ming army's extra-long spear was a spear that was seven meters long. Every hundred people formed a team, four horizontal columns, twenty-five vertical columns. The soldiers in the first row all crouched on the ground, their hands clenched in their super-long spears, which were held flat forward. The soldiers of the second platoon half-crouched behind the first platoon. Place the spear on the shoulders of the soldiers in the first row. Raise the back end of the spear high. The tip of the spear is pointing downward. The soldiers of the third row stood up straight and placed their spears on the shoulders of the soldiers of the second row. The tip is facing forward. The fourth platoon of spearmen acted as a countermeasure. Only after the soldiers in the first row fell, the fourth row took the place of the third row, and the third row took the place of the second row. The soldiers of the second row take the place of the dead soldiers of the first row.

Chen garrison divided the four thousand ultra-long spears into four parts, with one thousand men per unit. Surrounded the city with a super-long spear. The head of the spear is pointed in four directions. Inside the square of the spear siege were three thousand crossbowmen led by Li Long, Yang Dali and others. and a thousand knife players. Just wait for the bandits to rush up.

These rogues all changed to the banners of officers and soldiers, but from the majestic lineup, the neat queue, or the front row holding an extra-large long knife nearly one person tall,

When the fifth or sixth of the bandit army saw the camouflage uniform worn by Li Long, he knew that he was the commander of the unit that defeated them in the Hebei River last time, and if it was in the past, it was natural that the heroes would not suffer the immediate losses, and would have ordered a retreat a long time ago. But not now, if you retreat, you will be immediately pursued by these officers and soldiers, not to mention that Lao Qi is leading more than 30,000 people to storm Yanzhou Mansion, if he escapes, which Lao Qi will be finished. Fuck ...... These officers and soldiers are only 10,000 people, and they dare to claim to be 100,000, and I have more than 20,000 people, can't I win against you?

In fact, a small cup is not a cup, the real cup is a small one that follows the small fish, is cannon fodder when fighting, and always plays with the open mouths of the small fish.

Although the three masters didn't know the famous saying "people are in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves", but this truth can still be figured out, so they can only give the order to attack.

But their minions didn't think so, and some of them had fought against the army, and knew that the powerful crossbow arrows that surrounded it were far and ruthless, and the more they rushed forward, the faster they died. And what if you rush past the range of the crossbow arrows, the soldiers on the opposite side are like hedgehogs, and now they rush forward, isn't that looking for death? I couldn't find a place to start.

Therefore, after the thief Lao Wu gave the order to attack, only 5,000 people rushed forward, and the others stood still. And after running a few steps, the people who rushed out found that they had made a fool, and immediately stopped and retreated.

The sixth child was angry, so he also drew his knife in his hand and said sharply: "Those who don't move forward will not be killed." All give me an upward rush. ”

At this moment, someone suddenly said: "Big boss, look, the officers and soldiers are coming." ”

The thief looked up, and sure enough, he saw that the ranks of the officers and soldiers were trying to kill themselves from the right flank.

This is the musket team guarded by Zhang Chengzhang.

Zhang Shoubei ordered the muskets to stand on the spot, kneeling in the front row and standing in the back. After a volley of muskets "pop ,,, pop pop" After a burst of gunsmoke, a large number of Ze soldiers fell to the ground one after another. There was a gap in the musket fire, and after the first line of shots, the soldiers in the first row retreated to the back of the line. And the musketeers in the third and fourth rows had long been loaded with gunpowder and bullets. Aim and shoot. 、

"Ah,,,h The cries of men and the neighing of horses are incessant.

Then the soldiers in the first and second rows had already loaded the gunpowder and ammunition, and the third and fourth rows pushed back...... The first and second platoons returned to their original positions according to the rhythm and continued to shoot......

"Boom...... Boom ,,,,Boom ,,,,," ten loud noises in a row shook the sky. This is the ten exterminating cannons brought by Li Long's guard platoon of Yang Dali's guard platoon.

The shelling instantly tore apart the last mental defense line of the thieves, and one by one the flowering bullets hit the group of thieves, each cannon blowing up more than a dozen people...... It doesn't matter how many people kill, what matters is that the Ming army has artillery, but the thieves don't...... The thieves have realized that the disparity in strength is too great, and their morale has plummeted, and their morale has plummeted......!!

"Everyone, run!! Run, the Ming army has firecrackers, artillery, I heard that the army has 600,000 cannons, and if you don't run, the brothers will be blown into pulp......

The last time the bandits were scared by themselves, but the bandits did not attack for a long time, Chen Garrison had already succeeded, and he couldn't afford to wait here, so Li Long also ordered the officers and troops to attack and take the initiative to attack the bandits.

However, although he took the initiative to attack, Li Long did not let the soldiers rush out of the other party desperately, but gradually approached the bandits' team according to the current queue. And after walking more than a dozen steps, he had to stop for a while, and always maintained a complete quadrangle.

The neat Macedonian phalanx advanced towards the thieves step by step with neat steps. When the thieves saw this like a turtle shell covered with thorns, they trembled with fright. Many of the thieves threw away their weapons and fled. The rest of my legs were still shaking in place...... Although in this way, the advance speed of the Qingzhou Soldier Phalanx is not fast, but now the distance between the two sides is only more than two hundred steps, and at most two minutes, it can advance to the range of the bow and crossbow.

Lao Wu and the others couldn't help but look at each other, seeing that the officers and soldiers were almost about to enter the range of the bow and crossbow, but their own side was almost on the verge of collapse, if it continued like this, this battle would not have to be fought, and they would be directly defeated.

Therefore, the fifth brother turned around and asked his two brothers, "Sixth, seventh, it is not possible to go on like this, what should we do?"

After all, the sixth child still had some brains, and said: "Big brother, there is no other way now, use the cavalry, rush at them, even if we can't beat them, we can cover the retreat of the infantry." ”

Lao Wu thought about it for a while, but there was no other way, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, it's as ordered, so I have to do it!" ”

Seeing that in the bandit formation on the opposite side, more than 500 war horses suddenly rushed out and rushed towards his side, Li Long couldn't help but be startled, but he quickly calmed down. , ordered the large array to stop advancing and defend in place.

However, at this time, the distance between the two sides was very close, so as long as the cavalry moved, it basically entered the range of the bow and crossbow, but Li Long did not plan to shoot the cavalry with the bow and crossbow...... In the words of Edward the long-legged King of England: "It is better to waste money with a bow and arrow, than to use cannon fodder"

But when it comes to Li Long, he has to change it, "It costs money to use bows and arrows, so it's better to use dense extra-long spears to push forward, and let the cavalry hit the spears,"

Maybe the old five and six have not played, medieval 2 total war, otherwise they would not have given such stupid orders. The pike-gram cavalry did not know.

Lao Wu Lao Liu had a total of 560 cavalry, and spent a lot of blood for this cavalry, not to mention that the cost of raising 560 horses was greater than raising 10,000 people, and each cavalry was at least equipped with leather armor, and was also equipped with a shield made of wood and iron. This is the last capital of killing Hugou, so it will never be used until it is absolutely necessary.

And the other little bandits saw that this idle cavalry army was also sent out, and they all stopped retreating for the time being, and decided to wait and see, and there were many brave ones, who followed the cavalry and rushed forward.

More than 500 cavalry rushed forward, the ground shook the mountains, and the sand and rocks were scattered. When he rushed to the main formation away from Li Long and Chen Jixiang, he couldn't stop if he wanted to.

"Tear,,tear,,ah" A war horse crashed into a seven-meter-long super spear, and the person who was immediately hit turned over on his back.

"Kill, kill" Six or seven super spears stabbed towards the chest of the rushing cavalry war horse, and there was a burst of blood mist, and the war horse was stabbed through the heart by the seven-meter super spear. The head of the spear entered through the chest of the warhorse and came out of the back.

Along with the men on the horses, they were also pierced. In other cases, when horses were stabbed to death, the cavalry did not get stabbed, but fell off their horses as the horses fell. But immediately five or six spearmen rushed up and stabbed him into a hornet's nest.

Originally, the morale of the officers and soldiers in Qingzhou was very low when Li Long came, and the equipment was almost tattered. Li Long also frowned for a long time, but he suddenly remembered the situation in the game he liked to play in another time and space. As long as the formation is strong, you will have the upper hand when engaging the enemy. There were no casualties in our army, and the lazy army would not retreat.

So when Li Long saw that there were thousands of oil-coated super-long spears in the warehouse, his eyes immediately rang in the same way. Remembering the Macedonian phalanx, if you use these super long guns, you can be invincible for at least another three or five years. As long as you don't run into a genius general like Wu Sangui, you have a chance of winning.

The first wave of cavalry charged, and the cavalry of the thieves retreated. And in front of the pike, a large area of horse carcasses and human corpses was left...... Not a single one of our troops was killed.

Thousands of brave thieves and infantry followed the cavalry charge, and suddenly found that the cavalry attack was frustrated, and the cavalry retreated, and they all ran back in fright. People crowd people, horses step on horses. Suddenly there was chaos. Countless people have been killed and injured by trampling.

Li Long saw that the opportunity had come, pulled out his Swiss Army knife, and shouted: "Knife soldiers, kill with me"

"Kill, kill, kill"

Woo woo woo ,,, dull horn sounded. This is the horn carried by the entourage of the generals of the Ming army, which is equivalent to the charge of the Tuba Road......

The soldiers heard the sound of the horn, and the musketeers of Zhang Chengzhang's garrison followed suit, shooting as they charged...... When he was only twenty meters away from the enemy, he put the fire gun on his back, pulled out his waist knife and killed.

"Defeat the army, flee in a hurry,,,, collapse into an army, flee in a hurry,,, every thief's army is now in this state. Li Long led a thousand sword soldiers and fifty gunners to cover behind the thieves, and Zhang Cheng's troops rushed over on the right flank.

Li Long rode a black war horse, held a saber, chased after a thief, waved the saber, and with the help of horsepower, he cut off the thief's head with a single sword. Infantry without horses slashed in the back. What is the scene of the troops with high morale chasing and killing the defeated troops, one chasing out fifteen miles......

Fifteen miles long were the corpses of thieves...... Little ravines, little rivers, little pits, all full of blood......

Many of the thieves surrendered on their knees on the way to escape, so there were quite a few prisoners

After the war, Lao Wu gathered the remnants of his troops and fled to Yanzhou City, wanting to join Lao Ba's troops under Yanzhou City. When the number of people was counted, there were more than 7,000 people left.

The troops of more than 20,000 people who died, ran away, and were now defeated by less than a third in the first battle.

Li Long rode a tall horse and commanded his crossbowmen to clean up the corpses and clean up the battlefield. Chen Jixiang and Chen Garrison were also inconvenient to move because they were all super long guns, so they rested on the spot. And the musketeers of Zhang's garrison also began to clean up the battlefield......

About half an hour later, the results came out. In this battle, 10,055 enemies, or 10,055 heads, were killed. Three thousand five hundred prisoners. All the cavalry surrendered to our army, and three hundred and twenty horses were obtained. Countless ordnance, grain and grass......

Zhang Shoubei came to Li Long with more than 3,000 captives at this time and asked, "General, what should I do with these captives?" ”

In fact, Li Long wanted to keep these captives and send them back to Qingzhou to open mines. But now it seems that there is not so much money and food and grass to feed these captives. If they were released, the captives would have ganged up. In the future, it will definitely cause a certain degree of difficulty for the sweep of the Qingzhou soldiers.

Li Long turned his head, got on his horse and returned to the army, and with a wave of his sword, he signaled a meaning, and Zhang Cheng immediately understood what he meant, "kill"

"Spare your life, spare your life, my lord, we are all forced, we know the treasure place of the boss, the boss" The captives begged for mercy......

When Li Long heard the sentence "We know where the boss hid the treasure", his eyes lit up, his hand stretched out, and he shouted, "Come here, what's your name?" ”

The captive crawled under Li Long's horse, felt that he had saved his life, and said happily: "The little one is called Wang San, and our dead boss is called Wang Shoukui." My eldest and I are uncles and brothers, so the younger knows where our boss is hiding. The treasures he plundered from the states, prefectures, and counties were hidden in one place."

Yang Dali saw that he was pretending to be deep, so he went up and kicked Wang San over, and scolded: "Don't fucking pretend to be garlic, I don't know what to say, Lao Tzu asked you to go back to the captive team......"

Wang San looked back at the captive team, and saw that the officers and soldiers were beheading the prisoners, and the heads were piled up as high as a hill. Suddenly frightened soul did not possess the body......

"I said, I said my lord, and I immediately said," Wang San lay on the ground like a dog.

"Say it quickly, or you'll end up like them," Li Long said softly
