Chapter 440: Heaven and Earth Are Unkind

Ai Nengqi's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, that mountain army has almost no resistance, and if our old battalion army is like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to take much advantage......

Zhang Xianzhong bowed slightly, not to mention how boring this battle was, the peasants on his side - ah, no, the soldiers were crushed at the first touch, and they broke up before they even made contact, and the casualties of the Tuanshan Army were still zero so far!

Zhang Xianzhong coldly issued an order: "Pass my general order, the old battalion will all go out to supervise the battle, dare to have those who escape, and they will not be spared!" ”

Ainengqi promised repeatedly: "The last general will take the order!" ”

……

Zhang Zhang was very surprised to find that those scattered thieves turned back and rushed towards the Tuanshan army crying, and they were naturally greeted by the ruthless lead bullets of the Tuanshan army.

After a volley, the peasant army left a large number of corpses behind and ran away, only to find that the road was impassable. The steel knives in the hands of those old thieves and bandits showed no mercy, and all the soldiers who broke up were slashed and killed!

The entire battlefield was dark for a while, only a small number of people were killed by the fire guns of the Tuanshan army, and most of them still died under Zhang Xianzhong's butcher's knife.

Zhang Li's brows were furrowed when he saw it, and his face couldn't help but flush. Some of the "brick family called beasts" in the later generations of Nima also said good things about the peasant uprising, not to mention the other peasant armies, at least the "Eight Kings" Zhang Xianzhong is a cancer that plagues the world. What's the point of winning this kind of battle?

Li Dingguo's face turned red on the side, obviously he knew the tactics of thieves very well - it was precisely for these reasons that he abandoned the darkness and joined the Tuanshan Army under the persuasion of Anzi.

Right now. A herald arrived quickly, and it turned out to be Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the front line in front of the battle, who came to inquire. Do you want to kill those peasants?

Zhang Li's expression became solemn, and the whole person fell into deep thought. Zhang Li knew that he only had a very short time to think. An immediate order will make the difference between life and death for thousands of people.

If these homeless people are not killed, let them attack the position of the Tuanshan army, and you can imagine what will happen later! In the past, this tactic was not uncommon, for example, in history, the Mongols and Jurchens attacked the cities of the Song Dynasty, often driving a large number of people to serve as cannon fodder......

Therefore, Jiannu still evolved, much stronger than their ancestors, the Jurchens of the Song Dynasty. The same is to use cannon fodder, during the Song Dynasty, the Jin people used the common people of the Han nationality. And the Jurchens at the end of the Ming Dynasty used the Han military flag - obviously Jiannu was more "far-sighted"!

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Killing now is for the sake of not killing in the future. Zhang Li sighed lowly, turned to the herald and said, "On the battlefield, there are only enemies, no people. ”

"Order!" The herald galloped away, looking at his back, Li's body trembling slightly, his knuckles creaking.

Zhang Zhang asked himself if he was not Mr. Morality. But at least the "three views" are still positive, and there are always some bottom limits in my heart. The thieves drove the people to war, and they were despised by tension - even worse than the slaves.

"The cavalry units of the Tuanshan Army have not made any major developments. I had thought that sooner or later the cavalry would have to be eliminated - now it seems, against the rogues. It is necessary to vigorously develop cavalry. Zhang Li's eyes deepened and he muttered to himself.

Li Dingguo nodded. whispered: "The bandits in the old camp must be annihilated in one fell swoop, and the thieves will be greatly injured." Otherwise, it is useless to kill as many people as possible. ”

As he spoke, the battlefield changed again.

Previously, a large number of people were forced to come to attack the position of the Tuanshan army, but they were ruthlessly beaten back, and in the end, Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion bandits really couldn't hold them down, so they had to let them escape.

Zhang Xianzhong and Ai Nengqi thought that the time had come, and the Tuanshan army must be exhausted, so they invested 20,000 old cavalry and horse bandits, hoping to break up the formation of the Tuanshan army in one fell swoop.

"Good! I'm not afraid that you won't come, I'm afraid you're going to run! Zhang Li slapped his thigh violently, stood up from the marching bench, and finally a hearty smile appeared on his face, which had been a little dull since the beginning of the war.

Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion cavalry did not swarm up, they were also quite methodical, but rushed towards the two ribs of the Tuanshan army. However, the Tuanshan army did not panic in the slightest, except for shooting and shooting. After three volleys, the cavalry troops dropped a large number of corpses, but they finally approached within thirty paces of the regimental mountain army!

Thirty steps, that is, one breath of effort, the cavalry will crash into the flesh and blood of the Tuanshan soldiers.

In the case of a high-speed charge, even if you don't use knives and guns, you can directly ram the infantry, and the cavalry can crush the infantry into a pulp.

Will the infantry of the Tuanshan Army become a meat puree?

Zhang Xianzhong stroked his beard and smiled, and was fantasizing about the cavalry troops crushing the infantry phalanx of the Tuanshan Army like a withering and decaying force...... However, what happened next made him open his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time!

The thirty paces distance between the cavalry of the old battalion and the Tuanshan army turned out to be a death vortex again!

"Boom, boom!" The soldiers of the Tuanshan Army threw out countless thunders in their palms, and Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion cavalry was blown up on their backs!

Just like the original reproduction of the battle of Caozhuangyi in Liaodong, the enemy's cavalry troops charged the infantry of the mountain army, but they were ruthlessly taught to be a man by the thunder in the palm!

Horse bandits are horse bandits after all, and compared to the original Guanning cavalry, the tactical discipline is much worse, so their casualties are also greater. Even many horse bandits were stupid for a while, and they couldn't even turn around, and continued to charge towards the "death vortex"!

In just a short period of incense, more than half of the 20,000 old battalion horse bandits were killed or wounded!

How to fight this battle?

Zhang Xianzhong saw that his liver and gall were broken, and he spit out a bloody arrow with a "poof" in his mouth, and the whole person was about to fall! Ainengqi, who was on the side, hurriedly supported him and gave the order for Mingjin to withdraw his troops on his behalf.

In fact, there was no need for Mingjin to collect troops, and after being stunned, the horse bandits reacted, and they had already begun to scatter and flee, but they were riding horses, and the Tuanshan army could not pursue.

Zhang Zhang immediately issued a military order, and the Tuanshan army took a short rest and immediately marched westward, making sure to seize the city of Jinan as soon as possible!

The battle of Gaomi ended like this, it was not exciting at all, but it taught Zhang Li and even the Tuanshan army a lesson-

In this dark era, the enemies of the Tuanshan Army, in addition to Jiannu, those separatist warlords in the late Ming Dynasty, and the great force of thieves. The battle against the thieves is not easy at all, they use a large number of people as cannon fodder, if they don't want to kill innocent people all over the field, they urgently need the Tuanshan army to study a set of countermeasures.
