Chapter 356 The terrible officers and soldiers Gao Shiyin set off from Jiaxian this morning, Jiaxian to Ruzhou and Pingchuan, Gao Shiyin's army did not bring any baggage troops, so the light cavalry set off, originally according to horsepower, can reach Ruzhou today. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 However, the news of a possible ambush by the thieves frustrated his wish to reach Ruzhou today, which made Gao Shiyin quite annoyed.

However, it is better for the thieves to catch up with them themselves, just to kill them happily, and save themselves from rushing to Ruzhou to meet the enemy. More than 10,000 thieves and soldiers are not in Gao Shiyin's eyes, even if there are many people, they are mostly rabble, and hundreds or thousands of officers and soldiers often defeat them, not to mention the Shunxiang army led by themselves.

It was absolutely impossible to suspend the march and ask for help from Wang Dou, the general of Dingguo, so he stopped moving forward, and he was disgraced in front of his colleagues in the future. Therefore, as soon as Nazan's words came out, Gao Shiyin immediately shouted angrily.

However, the Shunxiang Army's combat regulations are perfect, and there are corresponding countermeasures on how to deal with any situation. After consulting with his subordinates, Gao Shiyin and others still settled on detailed tactics to meet the enemy.

"Gentlemen, my Shunxiang army is invincible, how can I stop my soldiers? We are all heroes who want to sweep the world with the generals of Dingguo, and today's battle is a good time to shine in the world and make a name for yourself. If you want to make a name for yourself, just look at your hard work, let those rogues, see the majestic posture of my non-military sergeant! ”

Recklessness is recklessness, Gao Shiyin is worthy of being a veteran who has followed Wang Dou for many years, and his remarks are extremely encouraging.

The iron armor is strong, and the generals are in an uproar.

"Get on the horse and keep going!"

At the sound of Polo, the sergeants turned on their horses, and the army rolled forward.

In the middle of the Shen hour, the army arrived at a local place called Xuzhuang, the sentry in front waved the yellow flag, and the enemy army was found in front, about two or three thousand people, who were setting up a formation to intercept.

Gao Shiyin snorted and shouted, "Keep moving forward and catch up!" ”

Sergeant Gao Shi Yinren continued to ride his horse forward, and soon, a group of enemy troops appeared next to a dilapidated and abandoned village in front of him, and they were chaotically arrayed.

Gao Shiyin took out the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and sure enough, as the sentry said, there were about 2,000 people in that area, and in the clairvoyant mirror, it could be clearly seen that most of those rogues were infantry troops, and there might only be one or two hundred people with horses. Most of these rogues are covered with red scarves, and only those who ride horses wear felt hats and wear armor or leather armor.

Few of the foot soldiers had armor, and many of them were old and weak, all with a spear in their hands, and only a few archers-like men wore crotch or armor and were armed with a waist sword. According to Gao Shiyin's estimate, these people may be local officials and soldiers recruited by thieves in Henan Province and other places.

In their position in the army, a large flag was also erected, and you can see that the word "Chuang" is embroidered on it.

Gao Shiyin put down the clairvoyant mirror and sneered: "The rabble." ”

The sentinels of the Renbe had galloped around the rogue for a while, and they came back to report that no enemy had been found in the village. They also saw the reality of the Liukou army formation clearly, because the Liukou army array was surrounded by villages on one side and hills and rocks on the other, and the only way to pass through this area was to pass through this Liukou formation.

"Right on this front, break through the enemy's ranks."

Gao Shiyin passed the order, and the army met again, and when it approached two hundred steps in front of the Liukou army, except for Gao Shiyin and some officers of the headquarters, the rest of the non-commissioned officers all dismounted and prepared for battle.

The sound of trumpets and drums continued to sound, and according to the order, the sergeants began to form a line, and soon, with the general as a unit, they formed a large phalanx with both offense and defense. The two generals in the front were concentrated, and the two generals in the back, one on the left and one on the right, protected on both sides of the Chinese army. The horses of the sergeants were also gathered in the Central Military Headquarters.

Seeing that their own military formation was soon formed, and the opposite side was still in chaos, several generals of the headquarters of the Central Military Department said with a smile: "Today we will definitely be able to defeat the thieves." ”

They were all in high spirits, and the cold wind lifted their cloaks, and the fire was churning.

Gao Shiyin let out a long laugh and shouted, "Are you all ready?" ”

"Protection!"

The loud cheers sounded, and nearly a thousand soldiers shouted in unison, like thunder.

"Beat the drums and get ready for battle!"

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The passionate war drums sounded, Gao Shiyin drew his sword and pointed forward: "Mr. A, Mr. B, attack!" ”

"Mighty!"

The two sergeants shouted loudly and stepped forward in order.

"Fire on the shoulder!"

"Fire on the shoulder!" , one after another shouted orders.

"Forward!" ,

"Wan Sheng!"

With the sound of neat footsteps, a sea of steel strode towards the enemy formation.

There was a panic in the Liukou array, and they felt that these officers and soldiers were very different, not only that they all had excellent horse armor, but that they had a kind of momentum that had never been seen among the officers and soldiers in the past. It's a very pervasive feeling.

Gao Shi Yince took out his clairvoyant mirror and looked at it again, and soon, the wave of red armor and eight-petal hat iron-tipped helmet had approached a hundred steps in front of the Liukou array. The rogues over there were shouting, and their archers had come out, stretching their bows and arrows, just aiming at the Shunxiang army that was coming here.

"Stop!"

"Check the medicine, light the arquebus!"

Amid the shouts of the officers, there was a sound of fire.

The rogue archers on the opposite side had already shot arrows desperately, and they numbered about a hundred people in three rows. There are more than 400 people in the Shunxiang army here, 400 soldiers, half of the musketeers and half of the pikemen. The two general firecrackers were divided into five columns, with fifty men in each team and ten men in each column.

They came in formation, and by the time they stopped, each of the small formations had been gathered, so that the whole army was divided into five rows, each of forty men. The pikemen followed, and the same was arranged.

In the face of the arrows of the rogues, they were calm, and the arrows of a hundred steps were not powerful at all, not to mention the well-armored armor of the soldiers.

"Ready."

"Prepare for the front row, get ready to shoot!"

The noise continued, and the firecrackers in the front row flipped their firearms down and aimed them at the rogues in front. In this time gap, the rogue archers had already shot several arrows. Occasionally, some of the Musketeers had a few arrows stuck in their armor that were about to fall.

Suddenly the heavens and the earth fell silent, except for the sound of the cold wind sweeping through the dust on the ground.

The one on the right side of the array drew his sword: "Shoot!" ”

The sound of bursting beans sounded, and the rogue here saw a fire in front of him, and then a cloud of smoke rose from the side, and before he could react, he saw a blood mist on the crotch or armor of his archers, and then they screamed and rolled over the ground, and couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of firearms did the officers and soldiers use, so powerful?

There was a sound of metal, and the first row of firecrackers of the Shunxiang Army immediately retreated, and they quickly pulled out their canes, cleaned up the guns, and reloaded the cartridge ammunition. Their movements may seem dazzling to outsiders, but they are so familiar with their words that it doesn't take long at all, and some of them don't even need to look at their guns to reload their ammunition.

After years of training and conquest, the firearms of the first class army can basically shoot three shots in one minute, and some can even shoot five shots.

"Shoot!"

The first row of musketeers stepped back, and the second platoon of musketeers stepped forward, and under the general order, they pulled their plates again.

Fierce firelight shot out, and the blood mist on the bodies of those rogue archers on the opposite side staggered and were knocked to the ground one by one.

They all shouted wildly, and the first three rows of these firecrackers used Lumi guns, and the long Lumi guns could penetrate heavy armor in a hundred steps, accurate and ruthless, how could these rogue archers who only wore crotch or armor be able to resist it? Many people were beaten in pairs, bleeding arrows from the front and back of their chests, and they were thrown out by the force of the bullets.

Suddenly hit by strong firepower, how have those rogues experienced such a scene? Whether it was the archers in front or the rogue spearmen in the rear, they were all stunned, staring blankly at the platoon of officers and soldiers on the opposite side sounding again and again.

"Put!"

Soon, the firecrackers in the fourth row stepped forward and pulled the board machine at the rogues who were spinning around like ants on the hot pot opposite.

The deafening sound of the platoon sounded, and the firecrackers at this time used the firecrackers in the original army, but the ammunition they used was also powerful enough to break through heavy armor in a hundred steps after the formula was perfected by the Military Industry Division. This kind of large-caliber fire gun, the sound is loud, the power is enough, and as soon as the gun passes, a big hole is broken in the body of the person on the opposite side.

With the spews of gunpowder smoke coming out, dozens of people fell on the opposite side, and these people who were shot rolled on the ground and wailed in an inhuman voice, and many people were beaten to the point that their internal organs flowed out, holding those large intestines and small intestines and crying, just wanting to stuff these internal organs into their bodies.

The smell of blood came one after another, looking at the archers and spearmen on the ground who were howling miserably, looking at their bloody and miserable appearance, the rest of the people were trembling with blank faces, where did these officers and soldiers come from? They are truly devils......

"Fifth floor, come forward!" ,

"Protection!"

There was another neat cheer from the opposite side, and seeing that the fire guns over there were raised in black again, some of the lucky rogue archers in front of them could no longer hold back the fear in their hearts. They shouted, threw down their weapons, and fled backwards with their heads in their hands.

The rest of the rogue was already frightened, and when they saw the people in front of them fleeing, they were still shouting and shouting, lest others not hear. With a "boom", the entire rogue army exploded, they screamed, and they broke up in an instant, fleeing backwards like a tide.

Their own side was suddenly defeated, and the one or two hundred men with horses in the army could not react, but they were very clever, and immediately pulled out their horses and fled, and soon ran away without a trace. They seemed to have a lot of experience in escaping, but in a panic, they didn't forget to carry the banner of "Chuang" back.

"Vulnerable!"

Gao Shiyin retracted his clairvoyant mirror, and in the clairvoyant mirror, he could see the various forms of those beings who had escaped. Although they knew that these rogues were just a small group of people who lured the enemy, even if they had the mission of luring the enemy, I am afraid that under the attack of their own army, this escape would be real.

"A rabble."

The magistrate beside him put down the clairvoyant mirror, and also said out loud, Renbu is only equipped with two pairs of clairvoyant mirrors, Gao Shiyin took one pair, and this pair will be used by him. Just now, he also used a clairvoyant mirror to look at the battlefield for a while, and he had a panoramic view. Those two or three thousand rogues, with less than 100 casualties, were scattered, and they were indeed vulnerable.

"The first battle was won, and our soldiers made a contribution."

The officers of the headquarters next to them also laughed, they didn't have a clairvoyant mirror, but the distance was not far, and they could see the situation in front clearly.

Gao Shiyin handed down an order: "Mingjin collects the troops, and the battlefield will be cleaned up by the baggage team, leaving a team of sergeants to escort and assist, and the rest of the soldiers will continue to mount and advance!" ”

……

After a little formation, the sergeant Renbe got on his horse again and continued to move forward. Fang Cai's battle was only one-sided, killing and wounding nearly 100 opponents, and his own side did not suffer a single casualty. Their iron hooves trampled over the battlefield, and they could see the corpses and wounded on the ground, as well as weapons thrown all over the ground, even hats, shoes and other things.

It had nothing to do with them, they just ran forward.

After riding the horses for a few miles, they saw the outrageous soldiers in front of them, and when they saw these officers and soldiers chasing after them, they were even more frightened and screamed, and the sa girl ran fast and ran in all directions, but the sergeant of the Ministry ignored them and continued to ride his horse forward, only some sentry rode out and drove them forward.

After walking for a while, he saw that many gold and silver treasures were thrown on the ground, as well as some colorful silk brocades. Gao Shiyin laughed: "These thieves are indeed cunning, and they want to use wealth to lure my army to scatter the morale of the army?" They think that my Shunxiang Army is those tofu scum officers and soldiers? ”

In the current situation, the Shunxiang army has already had relevant military laws, and Gao Shiyin issued an order: "The baggage team will pack up the treasures, the town magistrate will supervise the inspection, and the remaining sergeants will keep the queue in order and continue to move forward." ”

After running for a while, the sentry returned, and more gold and silver goods were scattered in front of him, one in the east and one in the west, stretching for two miles around.

"Looks like the thieves are planning to ambush there."

Gao Shiyin smiled, according to the report of the sentinel, the terrain in front of him was actually in the open land of Pingchuan. Also, from Ruzhou to Jiaxian, this river area is flat, and there are really no suitable ideal ambush areas such as mountains and valleys.

However, the sentry heard that the river valley opposite the area in front of him has some undulating hills and dense thatch, which can indeed hide a lot of soldiers and horses, and the river water is low and dry, so it is convenient to cross the river on foot.

If the Shunxiang army pursues the rout, coupled with the chaos caused by the competition for gold and silver treasures, there is no military position, and the Liukou suddenly besieges with cavalry and infantry, and is unprepared, it will really suffer a big loss. In the past, officers and soldiers were often defeated by the tricks of the rogue.

Knowing this, of course Gao Shiyin will not be fooled, with the self-control of the Shunxiang army, he can also resist the temptation of those gold and silver treasures, and still maintain the integrity of the army.

He looked at the sky and looked around: "Okay, these rogues are not dead, so let's fight here, so that those rogues can taste the power of my Shunxiang army again." ”

He gave the order: "Seize that sloping land, line up, and wait for work." ”

Gao Shiyin could see very clearly that at this time, next to the army, there was a slope on the left side of the riverbank, a rather gentle hill. Occupy that round commanding height, open on three sides, convenient for the army to fight, and at the same time save the troops on one side, where the bank of the river is steep, and the river is also deep, even if it is difficult for men and horses to come from that side.

For Gao Shiyin, the slope is close to the river, and it is convenient to drink water, a place that is both offensive and defensive. As for being surrounded by thieves like this, it is possible to fall into death, Gao Shiyin is not worried, he just wants to kill them happily and give those rogues a little color.

With drinking water and the dry rations brought by the sergeants, the army could hold out for many days pessimistically - if the Liukou made up their minds about a long-term siege, the main force of the Shunxiang army that followed up would not mind giving them a total annihilation.
