Chapter 359: Frightened, to Ruzhou
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Rongsheng's twenty-five ironclad pikemen had already killed and injured several times their opponents, they were so fierce and fierce, and the rogues in front of them were all pale and trembling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They were so ruthless that they used spears and spears, but the rogues stabbed them, but they found that they had no upper hand at all. They are ruthless and accurate, even if both sides shoot at the same time, they can take the first step and stab themselves in the vital parts.
And these officers and soldiers are wearing iron armor, even if they sometimes stab their bodies, it is difficult to penetrate their fine armor, and their ordinary spears can compare to the opponent's armor-piercing spears with long cones? Not to mention that this is particularly rare.
Because the rogues suddenly found that under the strict formation of the other party, although their own side was outnumbered, but when they really fought, they were often weak, and often a spear was besieged by the opponent's multiple spears and angles.
The reason why this is so is because at this time of battle, the only people who can participate in the battle are often only one or two rows of people in front, and no matter how anxious the people behind are, they can only stand and stare dryly. In addition, the rogues have little training, and they tend to swarm when charging, and usually the bravest people rush to the front of the team.
So when it started, only these few people were fighting in a team, and the rest were just playing the role of coaxing onlookers in the back. In ancient times, special emphasis was placed on the principle of military formations, and if the formation was tight, it was possible to mobilize a team and a team of all people to fight, rather than relying on a few brave people to fight.
But how do you understand this? A team of people rushed together, but it was a mess, and they were rushed by these ironclad pikemen, like snowflakes meeting the sun, and immediately a team of people was killed, and the bravest of the team died first.
Just when these rogues were trembling, the drumbeat in the officers and soldiers was sparse, and those ironclad soldiers retreated like a tide. Only when they breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly the drums of the officers and soldiers were in a hurry, and another layer of iron-armored pikemen rushed with spears and fierce roars.
After the officers and soldiers took turns fighting the four-layer ironclad soldiers, those rogues could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts, it was terrible, these officers and soldiers were not people. The twenty rogue death infantry teams that attacked the northern slope were already defeated by the opponent's birds, leaving behind a large number of wounded and corpses, but the hand-to-hand combat in front of them was more terrible than the previous assault on the officers and soldiers.
Fighting face-to-face requires greater courage, because this kind of tearing is more brutal, and the weapon pierces one's body, bringing out blood and internal organs. Or hear the brothers they usually know fall in front of and beside them, they let out a scream before they die, and the blood they shed emitted a steaming heat on the cold winter ground.
Waiting for idlers and so on, there are countless people who are under this huge psychological pressure, not to mention these rogues who rush up when they win and scatter when they lose. Therefore, when Zhao Rongsheng's ironclad pikemen were relieved to attack again, those rogues collapsed, and they ran towards their positions with wild screams, causing panic in the entire infantry formation.
In the clairvoyant mirror, the situation of the rogue is seen in Gao Shiyin's eyes, looking at the east and north slopes in front of the corpses all over the field, there are corpses and wounded people everywhere, Gao Shiyin estimates that today's battle, killing and wounding more than 1,500 opponents, it is almost time to collapse, and the battle situation is just as Gao Shiyin estimates.
At this time, seeing that there were rogue soldiers fleeing all over the field, Gao Shiyin laughed, and then shouted: "Pursuit, let those rogue thieves take a good look at the fate of being the enemy of my Shunxiang army." ”
Sergeant Nonbe, B, C, and D defended the east, west, and north sides of the slope, although there was no war in the C general defense line, but Gao Shiyin still let them stand still, which was also stipulated by military regulations.
The rest of the idle sergeants of General A, under the order of the Central Military Department, shouted and got on their horses, shouted and rushed out from the defense line let by President Ding, waving their waist knives, chasing behind the retreating rogues, and driving them to attack the formation.
Seeing the officers and soldiers chasing after them, those rogues who fled back were even more panicked, and the large array of rogues was also in turmoil, and there was a danger of bombing the camp as a whole.
Looking at the enemy situation in Pingchuan under the slope, the Chinese military department laughed, and the soothing officer said to Gao Shiyin: "The victory of this battle, our division is dissatisfied with the defeat of more than 10,000 thieves, and it will definitely shake Zhongzhou, and the people are enthusiastic. This victory is like the sound of the empty valley, and the general hears the news, and his joy can be imagined. ”
Gao Shi Yinzhi smiled proudly, and he rubbed his face: "I can't attribute all the credit to my old Gao, this is the credit of all the soldiers of my ministry." ”
Then he pressed his sword, straightened his chest and bulged his belly, and said regretfully: "Looking at today, it is too difficult to find a capable opponent on the battlefield, and the hero is lonely." ”,
……
The battlefield situation is also in the eyes of Liu Fangliang and Li Guo, Liu Fangliang is fine, but Li Guo's face is pale. I thought that the officers and soldiers of this unit were only powerful in firearms, but I didn't think that their hand-to-hand combat was even more outstanding. It was a miscalculation that their own soldiers, who had not spared their lives, could have rushed through their formations, but were routed by the fierce attacks of their ironclad pikemen.
Although he Li Guo is young, he has been battle-experienced, how can he ever see such a strong officer and soldier? I heard that this officer and soldier is only the vanguard of the officers and soldiers of Jiaxian, and there are nearly 10,000 people in the main force they gathered there. If they all go to Ruzhou, how will this battle be fought?
This is still something to worry about in the future, the current battle situation, the foot pawn side has collapsed. Under the onslaught of the officers and soldiers driving away the rout, the remaining foot soldiers began to flee in terror, planning an ambush for many days, and ended in a great defeat.
He said softly, "Brother Liu, what should I do?" ”
Liu Fangliang sighed, he looked at the sky, the sun was gradually setting, it was time to go back to Ruzhou, what about those foot soldiers, it was not in his heart. In Ruzhou, there are almost 30,000 such "sergeants", but fortunately, the old battalion and the horse team did not participate in the battle, and those elites were kept, and there were as many such "soldiers".
He said: "Let's go, let's withdraw our troops, tell all the brothers of the horse team to follow, and let those infantry teams go back to Ruzhou by themselves." ”
"Brother Liu, Brother Li, my military horses have broken up, Lao Hao led the horse team brothers to rush, there is still a chance of winning, Liu ......"
At this time, Hao Shaoqi hurried over with some henchmen, but what was left for him was the back of Liu Fangliang and Li Guo pulling out their horses and turning around.
Hao Shaoqi was stunned for a moment, and his face was immediately extremely ugly.
Liu Fangliang and Li Guo led nearly 3,000 people from the old camp and horse team of the army, raised their hooves and whipped, and just rolled to the west. Liu Fangliang, who was far away, left a sentence: "Brother Dayong, it's getting late, let's go back to Ruzhou to protect the camp first, and you gather the brothers of the infantry team to come back, and then we will discuss military affairs in detail." ”
Hao Shaoqi gritted his teeth for a while, looking back at the footmen running everywhere in the mountains, how to put it away?
After a long time, he scolded: "These donkeys are raised." ”
It was impossible to talk about retracting, and in the end, thousands of people gathered around him, mainly his henchmen, some on horseback, some without horses, and they didn't dare to turn back, so they only fled desperately in the direction of Ruzhou behind Liu Fangliang and others.
……
After the great victory of the day, all the soldiers of Renbu rejoiced, and many enemies were killed in this battle, which strengthened their confidence in themselves. After defeating the enemy, Sergeant A quickly returned and did not chase very far. There were also many captures by the soldiers of the Renbe, but the gains from the rogues are not to be discussed.
There are some gold and silver treasures seized, but in this era when silver money is useless, the Shunxiang army also looks down on this. Even in the camp, Li Zicheng also stipulated that the horses and mules obtained from the siege of the city by all parties must be handed over, the bow and lead are second, the cloth and satin are second, and the gold, silver, pearl and jade are ranked last.
Think about how useless gold and silver treasures are in this era.
However, it was always a good thing that the enemy had won a great victory, and that many captures had been taken, and the whole army, having celebrated, camped that night near this slope.
Before going to bed, the soldiers also brought a lot of water from Hanoi to boil it, so that the soldiers participating in the war could wash well. After the fierce battle, especially the pikemen soldiers of Mr. B and Mr. Ding, their bodies were covered with sweat stains and bloodstains, and after drying and solidifying, they were knotted on their bodies and armor, and they were unspeakably uncomfortable, so they could only sleep after washing.
That night, Gao Shiyin and the generals celebrated in the tent, held a bonfire party, finalized the meritorious personnel, how to report the victory to the general of Dingguo, and so on. This matter was carried out by Gao Shiyin, the chief officers, and the pacification officers, and they were busy until very late.
Early the next morning, Gao Shiyin sent someone to report the victory to Wang Dou, and sent a fast horse sentry to inform Qian Zuozheng, the governor of Ruzhou, that his rescue army had arrived. Of course, he will not forget to explain his brilliant record of defeating more than 10,000 ambushed thieves with thousands of people.
At the same time, his army continued to advance towards Ruzhou, and arrived at the land of Ruzhou at the beginning of the day.
……
The news of the defeat of the thieves in Ruzhou has been learned by the soldiers and civilians of Ruzhou, and yesterday in the city, they saw the scene of those who fled back to the thieves and wolves.
That night, they also heard the news that the thieves had left camp overnight. This morning, the sentry cavalry reported that a group of thieves who had gathered outside the east gate had crossed the temple water to the west, and joined the camp of the thieves by the land and water a few miles away from the west gate. The traffic between Ruzhou and Jiaxian has been opened.
Then they received a fast horse sent by Gao Shiyin, and when they heard that the rescue officers and soldiers had arrived, they were so brave that thousands of people defeated tens of thousands of thieves. The soldiers and civilians in Ruzhou City were surprised and at the same time very happy that the reinforcements had finally arrived. However, in their cognition, officers and soldiers with strong combat strength often have poor military discipline, especially when the other party is still a guest soldier.
Therefore, after Gao Shiyin led the army to Ruzhou, although he found that the soldiers and civilians of Ruzhou were very in awe of him, he knew Qian Zuozheng and personally led the squire out of the city to greet him, and also brought a large number of rewards. But then Gao Shiyin was furious, because Zhizhou Qian Zuozheng politely refused to allow his army to enter the city.
Zhizhou said that he would try his best to meet the needs of this officer and army, and what gold and silver he needed, but the matter of entering the city was ......
Although Gao Shiyin was angry, Wang Dou had explained the relevant situation in advance, so he held back his anger and camped a few miles away from the east gate, in a place called Shizhuang by the Rushui River. This resident of Zhuangzi fled into the state long before the arrival of the army of Liu Fangliang, Li Guo and others.
Moreover, after the sack of the army besieging Ruzhou Liukou, Zhuangzi was already empty inside, and it happened that Gao Shiyin and others lived in the village, so as not to freeze in the wild.
On November 18, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou and Chen Yongfu led the main army to Ruzhou.
