548 The Great War is about to begin
The moment the Heavenly Cavalry rushed out of the valley on the high slope of the loess, the guerrilla Luo Shixun was shocked. He never expected that this was still far away from Yulin Town, and there were only about 3,000 people who called the Heavenly Army to come to the pass, so they dared to separate the cavalry army and ambush it at a long distance?
And the number of cavalry troops who came to ambush here is estimated to be not even a thousand, right? Isn't that too daring?
But the next moment, his face immediately changed. That is called the momentum of the Heavenly Army, that is, they are 1,000 people attacking more than 7,000 enemy troops, and they are obviously so arrogant that it seems that they are more than 7,000.
Turning his head again, he found that the long snake formation of the rogue team in front of him had dispersed in a hurry, and they were all ready to run away, whether it was an ordinary rogue or an elite of those rogues.
Luo Shixun was very annoyed, because he didn't expect that the Heavenly Army would be ambushed at a long distance, so the army used marching columns, and he didn't think about prevention at all. At the moment, those thieves are afraid that they can't count on it, and only if their side first withstands the first wave of attacks from the Heavenly Army, those thieves can rejoin the battlefield.
But as soon as he gave the order, the Heavenly Army had already raised its maximum speed and came straight to his side. And it looks like it's coming straight to the flag.
Suddenly, a deafening roar sounded in unison: "Kneel down and surrender without killing!" "Even in the rumbling of iron hooves, it's as loud.
Although the military discipline of the Ming army is better than that of the thief team, it is only a little better. When the Heavenly Army showed an overwhelming attacking momentum, not to mention those ordinary Ming soldiers, even Luo Shixun's family team was also panicked, and they couldn't carry out Luo Shixun's orders at all.
In fact, this is not entirely to blame for the lack of courage of the Ming army, poor training, etc., because although the number of the Heavenly Cavalry is only one thousand. But the arrow formation is still maintained in the charge, which seems to be well trained and extremely powerful. Under the spearhead of the ironclad heavy cavalry, it seems that whoever stands in the way will be just a paper wall.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the heavenly cavalry is already an unsheathed sword. Sharpness and slaughter; But the Ming army was in a panic, and they couldn't put up a formation at all. Anyone who sees it knows that the tide is gone.
Luo Shixun was very helpless, so he could only be a hero who didn't eat the immediate loss, and immediately turned his horse's head, carried the direction of the attack called the heavenly army, and slapped the horse to flee. The flag with the word "Luo" that was originally erected fell suddenly.
Of the 2,000 Ming army, there were only about 300 people with mounts. I was able to run and run. The one with only two legs, his face was like earth, and he didn't know who took the lead, and he threw his sword and surrendered on his knees.
After making this move, the foot soldiers in other places were fine, and those kneeling foot soldiers near the original general flag were about to rush to the front when they saw the rolling iron horsemen. Even if it is an elite border army, I am afraid that it will be impossible to contain the forward momentum. I guess I'm going to bump into the surrender pawns on the official road. Those Ming soldiers who didn't have time to flee far were frightened and desperate. I closed my eyes helplessly.
Who knows, this elite of the Heavenly Army is even more powerful than they thought, seeing that there are kneeling and surrendering foot soldiers in front of them, and they did not rush past them to pursue the fleeing cavalry regardless of it, it turned out to be an arc route, and it was a galloping on the edge of the official road.
The Ming soldiers who were waiting to die still ate a nose of dust. but fell to the ground one by one, looking relieved.
The heavy armored iron cavalry in this heavenly cavalry army slowly began to slow down, while the light cavalry behind it was divided into two, one of which bypassed the tail of the Ming army, and then the two cavalry troops galloped towards the thieves along the official road. At the same time, they shouted in unison: "Let the heavenly army give preferential treatment to prisoners, and let the heavenly army give preferential treatment to prisoners......"
At first, they watched to see if the Ming army could deal with the thieves called the Heavenly Army, and they were surprised to see that the usually majestic Luo guerrilla was defeated without a fight. Seeing that the Ming army had surrendered, many thieves wanted to escape.
The slogan of "surrendering on the ground and not killing" of the heavenly army, as well as the slogan of "preferential treatment of prisoners" that came later, more or less awakened the rumors that many people had heard before.
Thinking that if they escaped, even if they could escape, they were afraid that they would starve to death, so that most of the thieves had no intention of escaping, and they surrendered on their knees with a little apprehension.
It didn't take long for both the thieves and the Ming army to gather on the official road, still holding their original weapons and starting to hurry.
It's just that unlike before, there are cavalry soldiers called the Heavenly Army on both sides of the team. At the same time, the former northern Shaanxi people among them were propagating the policy of calling the Heavenly Army, telling them how the Heavenly Army would arrange for them.
In fact, whether it was a thief or a foot soldier of the Ming army, when they heard that there was food to eat, except for those whose families were in the area controlled by the Ming army, everyone else willingly followed.
In this cannibalistic world, if you can have a bite to eat, your life is yours!
Besides, after Luo Shixun escaped for dozens of miles in one go, he didn't hear the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and finally stopped to rest.
He looked at the dozens of cavalry soldiers who were still following him, and he was dazed for a while, did not dare to stay any longer, and then fled back.
On the third day, Chen Qiyu, the governor of the three sides, received a quick delivery from here, saying that the advance Luo Shixun's troops were called to ambush the heavenly army one hundred and fifty miles away, and almost all the troops were annihilated.
Chen Qiyu was so angry that he wanted to beat people, which was too arrogant for the Heavenly Army. With just a few men and horses, they were even divided into several cavalry armies and took the initiative to attack. Luo Shixun was ambushed here, and it was already the third team.
It was only then that he understood. That is called Hu Guang, the leader of the Heavenly Army, I am afraid that the current officials and troops are gathering from all directions, and the number of people on each road is not very large, so he wants to use the method of winning by quality.
Since this was the case, Chen Qiyu immediately began to give an order, so that the generals from all over the country would bring the thieves they recruited to move closer to the Chinese army, and give up the plan to gather outside Yulin City.
He looked in the direction of Yulin from afar, and his silver teeth were secretly bitten, even if you asked the Heavenly Army to use this trick to make your side lose almost 15,000 rogue troops, and about 5,000 officers and soldiers, but now that the official is on guard, there are nearly 80,000 rogue troops in his hands, and more than 15,000 officers and soldiers, hug together and advance to Yulin, see what else you can do.
When the Northern Shaanxi War was about to begin, the Nu Chieftain Emperor Taiji had also led the army to Shanhaiguan. As soon as he arrived, he took command into his hands and changed the passive tactics of Dai Shan.
First, taking advantage of the cover of night, Jianyu took the initiative to attack, bypassing the defense of the Ming army, killing the corpses of those people all over the field, with many casualties.
Then he struck while the iron was hot, and while the Ming army was still immersed in the inertial thinking of the bombardment, he secretly attacked several Ming army camps, killing and injuring tens of thousands of Ming troops.
As soon as this Jianyu gave full play to his field expertise, if it was in peacetime, the Ming army would definitely not be able to hold on, and they would scatter in a hurry, and they would flee if they could.
