Chapter 454: Persuasion

Hao Shaoqi is very cooperative, which does not mean that others are also cooperative. Jiang'an's side encountered an uncooperative master. With the two A-shaped battalions crossing the river, as soon as the brothers went to the opposite bank, a large number of people rushed out of the camp opposite. Two miles away, there was an earth-shattering shout. Before, these people were hiding in the trenches, waiting for this moment. It's a pity that the hot air balloon kept floating, and everything was seen. This preparation is equivalent to preparing in vain, and Liu Tichun on the opposite side can only bite the bullet and let the 30,000 or so people under him attack. He hadn't suffered the loss of the Dengzhou camp, and he didn't know much about it.

Liu Tichun still left one hand, and sent out about 15,000 people, leaving half of the main force. After going ashore, Jiang An immediately stood at the front, the command knife in his hand was erected, and the two thousand-person phalanx behind him didn't even have time to put on their shoes, and lined up in battle formation barefoot. The hot air balloons in the sky began to drop bombs, and the booming explosions rang out six or seven times.

The smoke that rose immediately made these displaced people who rushed out panic, not to mention the real people who were killed by the bombing. Quite a few people run after falling off their butts, there is the first, there is the second. Just as Hao Shaoqi was worried, but after dropping eight bombs, the team of more than 10,000 people scattered, and as soon as they ran less than 200 meters, they began to rush back, squeezing, trampling, and making a mess.

Jiangan was also dumbfounded, such a team is also called a team? If such a thing had happened in the Dengzhou battalion, the officers would have enforced battlefield discipline a long time ago. Can you spoil a pot of soup with a grain of rat droppings?

In the face of the chaotic situation, the shogun did not hesitate. Immediately the order was given to attack, without waiting for the artillery and grenadiers. The two thousand-person phalanx, the mud on their feet did not have time to be cleaned in a hurry, put on their shoes, and pressed forward resolutely in the sound of drums.

The enemy army was still in chaos, the guns rang out, the rows of guns rained down, and the crowd fell layer by layer as if they had been skinned. In the face of the threat of death. Thieves running back. More and more crazy and chaotic. Swinging a knife to cut down the people in front of you is nothing new.

The two thousand riflemen commanded the shore to chase all the way and advanced to less than 500 meters outside the camp before stopping. The reason for the stop. It was the fear that there was artillery in the camp. Don't dare to say anything else. There are a lot of things in Daming. In case someone has one or two doors, the brothers can't stand this thing bombarding a guy.

After an urgent look with a telescope, a bamboo tube was dropped on the hot air balloon. Open it and look at it, it says "No artillery found". That's a fart! Jiang An raised his knife directly: "Follow me to kill!" ”

The defeated soldiers fled back to the camp, and at least thousands of people were blocked at the door, and those inside could not get out, and those outside could not get in if they wanted to. The platoon guns followed the pursuit, and then the next one by one. Sporadic bows and arrows are fired, and they are useless at all. At this time, looking at the thieves in the camp, they were already in complete chaos, and the back door had been opened, and a team of horses poured out. Liu Tichun ran away with more than 2,000 veterans first, and directly left the others to run first, as for Yuan Zongdi and them, how can they care about reporting the news?

"Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!" When the Dengzhou soldiers shouting slogans and carrying bayonets rushed to the gate of the camp, there were people kneeling on the ground. The large camp of tens of thousands of people was crushed by 2,000 men in less than an hour. Because it was the Dengzhou camp, some local people decisively dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees. Compared with military discipline, the Dengzhou battalion is the first in the Ming Dynasty, and the people of Henan know it. Don't look at the green skins who fight ruthlessly, when they don't fight, they are all good people.

Some people took the lead in kneeling on the ground, and many people in the camp stopped running, but knelt on the ground directly, waiting for the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion to arrest them. A handful of diehards, who did not resist for long in the face of bayonets, all became ghosts.

A battle was fought cleanly and neatly, directly defeating Liu Tiren. At this time, Lin Ya's side launched an attack on Hao Shaoqi's camp. The strength of the Dengzhou battalion lies in the efficiency of killing. Essentially, this is a group of well-organized murderers, or collaborators, killing machines.

Bombs were dropped in the sky, shelled on the ground, and rockets were fired in the middle. With such a combination, Haizhou City didn't resist, let alone such a humble camp. However, after half an hour, the outer wall was knocked down countless times, and the camp was full of fires. Hao Shaoqi never thought that the battle could be fought like this. They are standing seven or eight hundred steps away, and after they are in formation, they are waiting for you to fight, and you dare not go out. Then, the results were already out, and in less than half an hour, the camp was already a mess.

There are fires everywhere, there are crying fathers and mothers everywhere, and people are running around everywhere. The soldiers hiding behind the fence suffered particularly heavy casualties. Hao Shaoqi couldn't even organize an effective firefighting operation, let alone anything else. Since you can't hold on, are you still waiting for the other party to cut off your head? Hao Shaoqi didn't say a word, with a little bit of organization's subordinates, less than 2,000 people, everyone had horses, and they guarded a camp gate before, as soon as Hao Shaoqi arrived, he immediately opened the camp gate and ran away.

The thieves had four camps on the other side of the Huiji River, but Hao Shaoqi, who took the initiative to ask for battle, ran away, and Liu Tichun, who was passively stayed, also ran away. The remaining two camps that are still fighting, don't be Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu. These two are really hard enough, although they can't stand it and run. But as soon as they came up, they invested in the few elite veterans under their command.

The fierce battle was very ordinary, but in the eyes of Yuan Zongdi and Tian Jianxiu, the battle fell into an extremely tragic state at the beginning. The long-range strike capability of the Dengzhou battalion is simply too powerful. In particular, the power of the rockets exploded in the camp, and the soldiers were a little better, and the people who had just joined were all blown up. In the chaotic camp, Yuan Zongdi didn't care, and asked people to try to appease them, so be it. With his 3,000 cavalry, he opened the gate of the fortress and rushed out, his purpose was very clear, to delay as much time as possible. Passive beating, it will definitely not work, after a long time, there is no need to fight in the Dengzhou battalion, and the gang will be dispersed. It can only be proactive.

The cavalry, who rushed out of the camp, was immediately hit by artillery fire. The subsequent battle process was even more unexpected than Yuan Zongdi. Rushing forward with the men and horses, because he has not wavered, and the soldiers under his command have not unexpectedly dispersed, and rushed forward with his banner. Originally, I thought that if I rushed into the enemy formation, I would be able to kill all sides. But he was wrong, and before he rushed to the enemy line, he saw a forest of bayonets. The Dengzhou battalion set up a hollow phalanx, with bayonets held in a row outside, and guns and grenades were constantly fired inside.

Such a hedgehog array, when he remembered to retreat, there were less than a thousand people left around him. Yuan Zongdi didn't run in the end, a bullet hit his war horse, and Yuan Zongdi, who fell to the ground, was kicked in the head by the horse's hooves, and fainted. As soon as the banner fell, the subordinates scattered, and in the end less than 500 people fled the battlefield. However, in terms of the results of the battle, it caused minor and serious injuries to eleven people in the Dengzhou battalion, which is the team with the greatest results.

The one left who is still fighting is Tian Mixiu. He kept cowering in the camp, being beaten hard, and couldn't get out. He didn't go, and neither did his faithful men. There were twenty or thirty thousand people in the camp, and more than 15,000 ran away, and the rest either died or followed Tian Jianxiu, who had been seeing in the camp, waiting for an opportunity to fight with the opponent in close quarters.

Tian Jianxiu didn't wait for such an opportunity, because the other three camps were scattered, two Jiazi battalions copied his back road, two Jiazi battalions exerted pressure on the front, and the nearby Jiang'an, with two thousand men and horses, killed from the flank.

Despite this, the banner of the word "Tian" did not fall, and there were still three or four thousand people in the camp following him, patiently waiting for the enemy to come in. At this time, what Tian Jianxiu didn't know was that when he was still insisting, in the camp under Kaifeng City, Liu Fangliang, who was ordered to stay and organize the transfer of the people, saw the broken soldiers and horses running down, and immediately issued an order: "The Dengzhou battalion is coming, everyone should flee for their lives." Then, Liu Fangliang took more than 5,000 people to chase Li Zicheng, leaving behind more than 200,000 people who didn't have time to leave in a hurry, and each looked for a way to survive.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Tian Jianxiu was still behind a mound of dirt in the camp, and beside and behind him, there were more than 3,000 brothers who were still following him, and the shouting and killing around him had stopped. At this time, even a fool knows that he is surrounded. Looking at the time, Tian Jianxiu knew very well in his heart that the people under Kaifeng City could get rid of 100,000, which was fast. The official road to the south, even if no one stops you, you may not be able to walk much if you want to.

"It's a problem for the brothers." Tian Jianxiu said this to the people around him, and no one answered for a long time. Finally, someone shouted, "The general is here, we are here." The generals fight, and we also fight. At this moment a man approached the camp, staggering, with gauze wrapped around his head. When Tian Jianxiu saw him, he immediately greeted him: "General Yuan, why are you here?" ”

Yuan Zongdi looked at Tian Jianxiu, and said with a painful look on his face: "I was captured alive by the Dengzhou camp, and they asked me to persuade me to surrender." I met Chen Sihua, and he said that they were all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't want to kill more. As long as you surrender, lay down your arms, guarantee everyone's lives, and give two choices, one is to go to Liaodong, and the other is to go to Dayuan Island in the southern sea. ”

Tian Jianxiu sighed and lowered his head without saying a word, and Yuan Zongdi said again: "Chen Sihua also said that he came to Henan this time and brought millions of stones of rice and grain to help the victims of the disaster in Henan. With him, King Chuang can't come to the climate. In fact, Chen Xie is talking about "thieves"!

Tian Jianxiu closed his eyes in pain, and sighed on his back: "Since the brothers live and die together, I can't take everyone to death." In that case, let's go down. Don't worry, I've been to Dengzhou once, and it's really a paradise. Chen Sihua, speaking counts. ”

At the gate of the camp, Chen Xie on horseback breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at Tian Jianxiu and the others who walked out of the camp at the end and dropped the weapons in their hands one by one. Even if he is a thief, he divides people. Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi are relatively disciplined thieves. (To be continued......)
