Chapter 243: Victory

On the originally dim field, some black spots began to appear at the end of the horizon one after another, and because the location of Xifengkou was slightly higher than the geographical location of the surrounding area, especially the plain in front, Yu Fei could clearly see the movement of the chaotic army.

Slowly, the black shadow changed from less to more, from blur to clear, and the black pressure moved quickly in the direction of Xifengkou.

"It's finally here!"

Yu Fei's original nervous mood seemed to be a little relaxed, it was the first time for him to command a battle alone, there was a division commander in charge before, and his pressure was much less, and this time the division commander led the main force was still behind, and it was estimated that it would take an hour to arrive, and he had to hold on to this hour.

What should come always has to come, it's better to come early than late, anyway, in the end, you have to face this bloody reality, Yu Fei knows that the real test is coming soon.

More than two miles were too close, and after a while, the rebellious army formed in a loose formation swarmed in. As the distance got closer, the soldiers who had already received the order had already taken their positions and entered the ambush area, and the whole pass seemed to be no different from usual, except for the noisy noise of the rebel soldiers.

A chaotic army is a chaotic army, Yu Fei snorted from his nose, neither did he send the necessary reconnaissance troops, and the formation of the marching team was disorderly, without any psychological preparation, even if the regular army marched within its own territory, it was impossible to be so ridiculous, but in terms of quantity, it greatly exceeded its own troops, and the marching speed was not slow.

The vanguard soon entered the ambush circle, Yu Fei felt a little regretful in his heart, the enemy's team was too long, and his ambush circle could only be so big due to the limitation of troops, otherwise it could completely defeat this group of chaotic troops in one fell swoop. According to the current situation, the only way to eat his striker is to eat him first, but he can use the attack to cause chaos to the enemy, and a bold plan gradually formed in Yu Fei's heart.

As the banners of the bannermen changed from rising to rapidly waving downward, the commanders of the various brigades burst out with a long-suppressed roar from their chests: "Release! ”

The soldiers who were lying in ambush suddenly rose from the ground and aimed their crossbows in front of them and shot them out. Follow the rules of the usual drills. The first row shoots, the second row prepares, the third row prepares, and the three groups of soldiers take turns to stand up and fire, retreat, load the arrow, move forward again, shoot, and the whole process has been trained countless times in peacetime. It's easy to operate.

Wave after wave of arrows rained down on the unprepared rebel soldiers like a flash flood, and the results can be imagined by virtue of their condescending geographical position, in order to be prepared for the unprepared.

The overwhelming array of arrows struck head-on, and the vast majority of the rebel soldiers died before they could even react to what was going on.

A small number of soldiers with high vigilance, quick minds and quick reflexes suddenly appeared in the snow ahead. Knowing that it was wrong, some rolled on the spot and fell to the ground. Some simply hide directly behind their comrades-in-arms and let the bodies of their comrades-in-arms be used as their shields.

The ground was immediately soaked with crimson blood, and the screams and wails of the wounded in the field were repeated one after another, and the soldiers of the rebel army had never been so struck before, and they were completely stunned by this head-on blow, and many simply dropped their weapons and turned around and ran backwards. Some of them were immediately turned into honeycombs by the second and third waves of arrows, and some soldiers didn't even dare to raise their heads, and they shrank behind their shields and shivered, and the whole field completely turned into a bloody Shura field.

Yu Fei, who was standing on a high place and observing, was not carried away by this expected victory, and he found that although the rebel army was disrupted. But only at the front, the Chinese army has begun to organize defense, and it seems that it still underestimates the combat effectiveness of the chaotic army. At this time, the enemy must not be allowed to organize an effective counterattack, otherwise the enemy, who is several times his own, will definitely use the superiority in strength to reverse the outcome of this battle.

He quickly made a bold decision that had been brewing in his heart for a long time, "The second, third, fourth, and fifth wings will pursue the enemy with me, and the first wing will be on standby!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Fei waved the huge steel fork in his hand and took the lead in rushing out of the trench, under the leadership of the officer, the soldiers were like tigers descending from the mountain, setting off a whirlwind, roaring like thunder, and slaughtering the bewildered rebel soldiers.

The soldiers of the rebel army, who had just recovered from the rain of arrows, could no longer resist the charge of the condescending troops, and they turned their heads and fled towards their rear. Yu Fei wanted this effect, he led the troops to chase and kill the backward rebel soldiers, while controlling the speed of the chase, so that the rebel army always felt the pressure of pursuit, just like that, chasing and fleeing, a torrent of U-turn from slow to fast rushed towards the main force of the rear army of the chaotic army.

When the front army was beaten with a blow to the front, the commanders of the rear army, Zhang Deye and Chen Zhenming, had not yet reacted, but they immediately understood that they had encountered an ambush, and the cautious Chen Zhenming did not rush to give orders to the front army and the Chinese army, but first ordered the main rear army to immediately form a battle formation and distance itself from the Chinese army.

But the other party did not give him much time, when the enemy army broke the front army like a bamboo, and directly disrupted the position of the Chinese army, he knew that the situation was inviolable, after all, he knew that compared with the regular army, whether it was individual combat effectiveness or overall organization and morale, it could not be the same, let alone in this situation.

When Zhang Deye was still scolding two officers who had escaped from the battle, he decisively ordered the formation of a supervising team to separate the Chinese army from the rear army, and asked the supervising team to drive the Chinese army, which had not completely collapsed, to delay the enemy's attack as much as possible, and on the other hand, to order the main rear army to maintain a formation and retreat at a uniform speed. This hand achieved excellent results, so that Yu Fei's plan to use the surprise to defeat the rebel army in one fell swoop was not completely successful.

When Yu Fei led his subordinates to completely defeat the front army and the rear and middle army of the chaotic army, Zhang Deye and Chen Zhenming had already led the main rear army to open a distance of nearly a mile from the fleeing army, and still maintained a good formation.

In fact, when Yu Fei was fighting in front of the battle, he was also paying attention to the changes of the chaotic army, and when the enemy's rear army retreated decisively, he expected that his plan might not achieve the expected goal. He also had to admire the decisiveness of the opposing commander's strong man who broke his wrist, otherwise, once the defeated soldiers poured into the rear army, it would definitely disrupt the positions of all the troops, and at that time, it would not only be these people and horses who were currently lost.

However, Yu Fei was not depressed, after all, this battle had already made a good start, which greatly damaged the morale of the rebellious army, and it could be regarded as achieving the initial goal. The organization and discipline of the rebel army were not high in the first place, and it was only by virtue of their numerical superiority and familiarity with the geographical environment that they were able to defeat the original garrison units of these prefectures and counties, and now that they are suffering this blow, their morale will certainly be greatly affected, and this will directly affect the upcoming offensive and defensive battle at Xifengkou.

Seeing that the enemy's main force maintained the basic battle formation, retreated steadily backwards, and did not chase after the poor, not to mention that the other party still greatly exceeded himself in terms of numbers, and also maintained a battle formation, obviously prepared, Yu Fei immediately ordered his subordinates to stop the pursuit, leave a brigade behind the palace, and remain vigilant, and the other three brigade soldiers immediately returned to the division to clean up the battlefield, especially to recover the arrows, because out of the need for marching, each light infantry soldier did not carry many arrows with him, and the ensuing battle would be more intense, And I don't know how long it will last, so we have to save as many arrows as possible.

After this battle, Yu Fei knew that he had successfully passed the first difficulty, and bought himself a lot of time, at least in a short period of time, the enemy could not attack, and he could build fortifications while patiently waiting for the division commander to lead the main force to converge.

Just when the battle situation in Longdong was raging, the battle situation in Meishan in the north was still calm.

After receiving the help of Long Zi and Hillman's volunteers, Ding Da Niu continued to march eastward, occupying Yuroe Pass, an important traffic choke point in the southeast of Meishan Mountain, on the night of June 1.

The importance of the geographical location of Yuroguan Pass, Ding Daniu, Deng Dashan, Long Zi, and Hillman decided to leave a large group of troops to garrison this place in case of accidents.

In the early morning of June 4, Ding Daniu led his army to the northwest and arrived at Delong Mansion, the capital of Meishan County, that night, and joined forces with Shangguan Yonglun's army, which arrived at Fucheng at noon that day.

The rebels in the entire Meishan County were basically wiped out (of course, a considerable part of the rebels were driven into the Tengger Prairie), and the rest hid in the deep mountains and old forests, which was not easy to exterminate for a while, but it was not a problem.

On the second day after entering the Meishan County town of Delong Mansion, Shangguan Yonglun immediately announced that due to the unstable shape of Meishan County, the army temporarily took over the administrative power of Meishan County, and immediately streamlined and reorganized the original Meishan County garrison army that was in the Fucheng. At the same time, he also sent flying horses to Tokugawa to report on the current development of the form, hoping to receive clear instructions.

On June 12, Liu Xiaoshan and Lihua led the main forces of the 1st Division, the 3rd Division and the Cavalry Brigade to engage the main force of the rebel army Tubok in the Xihaili Basin of Longdong County, and won a complete victory, annihilating 23,000 rebels and capturing 12,000, and most of the rebels fled to Leishan County of the empire.

On June 15, Liu Xiaoshan and Lihua led the army to enter Xifengfu, the county seat of Longdong County, and took over the entire Longdong County in a state of military management.

On June 20th, Qin Dui received a good news from Liu Xiaoshan in the Tokugawa County Shoufu, and a good news sent by Shangguan Yonglun a few days earlier, announcing the successful end of the battle to recover Meishan County and Longdong County, which made Qin Dui, who had been abstinent ~ for many days, excited, and throughout the night, Qin Dui went back and forth in several women's rooms, and it seemed that only a woman's body could calm his excited mood now.
