Thanks for the ethereal...... Comrade Yun's reward, as well as the eternal ruin, and the reward of Comrade syf2808!!

――――――

However, this decisive battle ended in a dumbfounded way.

As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, tens of thousands of thieves suddenly stirred. Several thieves took the lead in running out of the team desperately and towards the official army.

Just like the flood of the sluice, it caused a chain reaction in an instant, and many thieves rushed towards the officials and soldiers with the same recklessness following the actions of those people.

The backbone of the thieves in the back couldn't be restrained at all, they frantically slashed and killed the fleeing thieves, but to no avail, there were too many thieves who escaped.

Some of the thieves even openly resisted, cutting down the backbones to the ground, and then running in the direction of the official army.

Tens of thousands of thieves collapsed in less than a moment, and those thieves ran to the front of the officials and soldiers, and then knelt directly on the ground and begged to surrender to the officials.

The officers and troops did not launch an attack for a long time, but began to collect the thieves who had surrendered, and after about half an hour, the thieves who had surrendered were taken to the rear.

And those thieves who were going to resist desperately, there were less than 3,000 people left, and they were simply defeated, and most of those 3,000 people had faces as if they were ashes.

Some of the bandit leaders, in desperation, drew their swords, swiped them around their necks, and fell to the ground in the blinding sunlight facing east......

Some did not have the courage to commit suicide, and looked at the officers and soldiers in the distance with their heads downcast. Some are full of anger and decide to fight to the death.

"Kill!" Zhao Yan gave an order, the cavalry battalion attacked again, after these days of fighting, the cavalry battalion has been reduced to nine hundred people, but there are not many deaths, after all, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion are wearing plate armor, and the defense is not covered, most of them are injured accidentally, or fall ill because of the long-distance attack, and they can return to the team after a period of recuperation.

The neatly arranged formation of the cavalry battalion in the march makes people feel an incredible feeling in their hearts. The aura of slaughter once again shrouded the bodies of those thieves, who had their backs to Xifeishui, they had no way to retreat, and the officials and soldiers did not give them any way to live.

In a desperate situation, unprecedented courage erupted, and he fought to the death.

Two hundred meters away, the cavalry battalion entered the sprint stage, and the speed of the war horse slowly increased, and it crashed headlong towards the formation of the thieves.

Although the thieves burst out with desperate fighting spirit in a desperate situation, they were still torn open by the cavalry battalion without any suspense and broke directly into the formation.

A scuffle began, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion broke through with their strength, disrupted with chaos, and continued to fight the enemy in front of them in the chaos.

Casualties are inevitable, Zhao Yan observed the battle with a telescope in the distance, his heart was as hard as iron, the cavalry battalion was just facing the thieves at the moment, and one day they would face the Manchu cavalry. Only by allowing the cavalry battalion to grow in iron and blood, and constantly changing sharply in battle, can it compete with the Manchu cavalry in the future.

Those thieves were just the target of sacrificing knives to the cavalry battalion, and in order to stimulate their desperate determination, Zhao Yan had all the backbones of the thieves caught.

Usually, these people should have been caught back to build roads, miners, and open mines.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion were like crazy, and they attacked the thieves in front of them furiously. The thieves fought harder and colder, and it was simply an impossible battle to win.

The weapons were cut on the bodies of those cavalrymen, and the other party had nothing to do.

Moreover, these cavalrymen were well-trained, and rushed into the formation in a neat formation, so that the thieves could not give full play to their numerical advantage, and could not form a phenomenon of several thieves surrounding and beating an officer and soldier.

The cavalry is most afraid of the infantry is to be alone, once it is alone, it means nine deaths. The infantry could block the cavalry from the front, and then pull it off their horses from the side, from behind, or kill them outright.

But the well-trained cavalry battalion did not give the thieves that chance. The hard training in Pingli played a huge role at this moment.

It's a scuffle, but it's an organized scuffle.

In less than a moment, the bandwagon of the thieves was in disarray, and it was impossible to organize an effective resistance.

Nine hundred against three thousand, but it formed a one-sided slaughter. Soon the cavalry battalion rushed through the formation of the thieves and rushed out from the other side.

On the other hand, on the side of the thieves, nearly seven or eight hundred people have fallen.

After the soldiers of the cavalry battalion rushed out, they quickly formed a group. Lin Yi turned the horse's head, reached out and lifted the mask, glanced at the situation on the battlefield, then put the mask on, raised the saber, and took the lead in rushing out.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the cavalry battalion once again burst into the bandit formation, disrupting the thieves' freshly closed formation again, and this time the soldiers of the cavalry battalion did not rush out, but engaged in continuous melee.

The scuffle lasted for nearly twenty minutes, and the last thief finally collapsed in a pool of blood, and the ground was already covered with the corpses of the thieves.

Those thieves who had already surrendered, everyone trembled when they saw the bloody scene, and they were even more glad that they had surrendered, otherwise they would have died with those people.

The Fengyang officials who came to watch the battle were even more shocked, Yang Ze wiped the sweat on his head, and said to Zhao Yan with a smile: "The soldiers under General Zhao are really brave and invincible in the world. ”

"Huh! The invincible in the world doesn't dare to be, Yang Gonggong should go and count the results! Zhao Yan laughed twice and said to Yang Ze.

Yang Ze immediately felt energetic, and immediately asked people to count the corpses, and then brought people from the captives to ask them to determine the identities of those thieves.

That's all a credit! Hopefully, these deeds will appease the wrath of the Holy One.

……

The news of the thief's Fengyang was transmitted to the Beijing Division on the 19th, and Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was "terrified" and lamented: "The fundamental place of all eternity, once it is a field of flying ashes, it is good and painful, and it is good and hateful." ”

Zhu Youzhen received the news, and the whole person stayed there and did not move for a long time.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's reaction, Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, pondered for a moment and said: "Saint, although Fengyang was conquered by thieves, the reinforcements from Shandong surnamed Suo arrived in time, although it shook the imperial tomb, but the thieves did not dig up the ancestral tomb and did not hurt the root of the world. ”

After Zhu Youzhen heard Wen Tiren's words, he reacted, as if with a little hope and happiness, and asked, "Is what Aiqing said true?" ”

"The minister just asked the feng shui master, and the gentleman said that as long as the ancestral tomb was not dug up by thieves, the dragon vein was not injured at all, and he only needed to spend some silver taels to rebuild the imperial tomb." Wen Tiren naturally understands Chongzhen's thoughts, and Chongzhen is an emperor who wants to make a difference.

The fall of Zhongdu can be described as a very disgraceful stroke, and its core problem is the so-called 'dragon vein', since the dragon vein is not lost, then there is no fault.

Zhu Youzhen's expression perked up, but immediately dimmed again, and said, "Ming said that I went to the Taimiao Temple to worship my ancestors." ”

In the second day, Zhu You checked out the palace gate, cried in the Taimiao to tell the ancestors and ancestors, tears fell, tears flowed, and the third said that "the crime has been revealed" to the world.

After the news of Fengyang falling into the hands of thieves spread, the world could not help but shake.

But the news that came one after another in the next few days was even more shocking, the Shandong reinforcements brought by Zhao Yan, a guerrilla general in Denglai, Shandong, not only killed the Taiping King who conquered Fengyang, but also successfully captured the sweeping king who called himself 'Guyuan Zhenlong Emperor', and captured 130,000 of the more than 200,000 thieves who invaded Fengyang, beheaded 16 thieves of all sizes, and killed more than 6,000 backbone thieves......

The battle between the official army and the thieves has always had their own victories and defeats, strictly speaking, the official army appeared to be even more declining, and almost no one thought that there would be such a big victory.

The good news was passed to the Beijing division one after another, Zhu Youzhen swept away the previous depression, and when he saw the good news of the king of the earth, he slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, good." ”

"Wait for the thief chief to be escorted to the capital division, and Ling Chi will be executed after three days of parade on the street!" Chongzhen ordered with great excitement. Then he asked the officials in the court: "Denglai guerrilla Zhao Yan has made this great achievement, how do you think Aiqing should be rewarded?" ”
