Chapter 265: Chasing the Dead and Chasing the North (1)
Chen Guoqi did not know about Zhu Youcheng's thrilling experience, and he was chasing down the remnants of An Bangyan's defeated army. nā top nā point nā small n ā said,
An Bangyan didn't escape, and was still waiting outside Guiyang City.
After losing 50,000 people, he was still confident that he could conquer Guiyang City. He thinks that in the second year of the Apocalypse, he only led 100,000 people to besiege Guiyang for ten months, and now there are 10,000 more than then. Besides, the gates of Guiyang City, along with the city towers, were set on fire by the defenders of Guiyang City, and Guiyang City is now like a shelled egg, waiting for him to enjoy it.
Surtai was not as stupid as Ahn Bangyan, and he understood that fighting a war was not only about strength, but also about morale. In Liaodong, hundreds of Jiannu can chase after tens of thousands of Ming troops and beat them, why? It's not because the morale of the Ming army is low. Now the Yiren rebels are afraid of the Ming army because of the defeat of 50,000 soldiers, and their morale has fallen to the point of no return, if the 40,000 Ming troops in Guiyang City take advantage of the victory to pursue, the Yiren rebels will definitely not fail, but will be defeated and defeated.
Seeing that An Bangyan was stupid and still fantasizing about victory, Surtai's nose was almost crooked, and he held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and could hardly suppress the desire to give him a knife. But considering that the remaining Yiren rebels were all his diehards, the risk of killing An Bangyan was too great, and it would affect the layout of the Mandate of Heaven Khan, so he finally gave up.
Sultai persuaded him from the beginning of the fire until the fire was extinguished, and gave the An father and son a military introductory lesson for almost half a day, and they realized that it seemed not wise to stay here and wait.
However, just when he decided to retreat, An Bangyan found that there were still many stragglers standing stupidly outside Guiyang City. He was short of troops now, and he didn't want to give up any possible source of troops. So, he asked Sultai to help him gather the remnants of the army.
Seeing that it was almost dusk, Surtai expected that the Ming army would not dare to fight at night. And he readily agreed. For no other reason, most of the soldiers and civilians in ancient times suffered from night blindness, and night battles were extremely risky, so almost every commander knew that it was easy to succeed in stealing camps and robbing villages in the middle of the night, but few of them were executed.
So, Sultai went to Guiyang City. After that, he shot the king with an arrow, and Zhu Youcheng went out of the city in anger and tore him in half.
Chen Guoqi keenly noticed that after Surtai's death, there seemed to be something wrong with the feelings of the Yiren rebels on the battlefield, because they were crying, and the voice was not small. They are not related to Jiannu, of course, they are not sad, so why are they crying bitterly? Most likely, he was frightened into tears by Zhu Youcheng's tyrannical behavior. How old a person is. I was actually scared and cried, what are you doing, it doesn't make any sense to defeat such an enemy.
He didn't know that Daming's storytelling was very popular among the Yi people. Almost everyone has heard reviews such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties". If the Chinese language is good, I heard the storyteller speak; If you don't speak Chinese, listen to your friends. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is decent and better; "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" is a bit violent. They eat human flesh and tear people alive at every turn. The representative figure is Li Xuanba (Jiannu said that he was guilty of committing a crime, and he was changed to Li Yuanba). Who is Li Xuanba? That's a demon who dares to fight with the sky.
Li Xuanba likes to tear up the living, and this master also likes to tear the living, so don't you say that this master is a fierce man like Li Xuanba?
That damn Jiannu provokes someone badly, provokes a demon like Li Xuanba. That's enough to wipe out the people. You must know that Li Yuanba hammered Siping Mountain, and single-handedly defeated the million-dollar coalition army of the Eighteenth Route against the king. And there are only 100,000 people on his side, and he has to make up 900,000 to be enough for others to fight, but if you count all the old and young people, I am afraid that this number will not be enough.
Yiren cried. Weep for their tragic fate in the future. Of course, there are also many people who hope that the sky will send a thunder and kill this demon, because the previous demon Li Xuanba was killed by thunder. However, Li Xuanba was punished by God for killing the person who used the phoenix winged gilt boring, and the master didn't know if he had done this. Or, please ask King An Bangyan to change his weapons and make the phoenix wings gilded and bored?
Yi people are afraid of Zhu Youcheng's violent killing methods, and second, they mistakenly think that Zhu Youcheng is a demon like Li Xuanba, a legendary famous general who can destroy millions of male soldiers by himself, so he is afraid to cry.
Chen Guoqi didn't know this, he only thought that Yiren was too meaty, and it was not fun to fight, just like bullying children, so he was a little unhappy when he issued the order for the whole army to charge.
The charge of 5,000 cavalry is a very terrifying thing - the neighing of 5,000 high-headed war horses is like a tsunami in the mountains, and the hooves of 5,000 war horses stomp on the ground, giving people the feeling that the sky is falling apart. Chen Guoqi didn't know how Yiren felt, but he definitely didn't want to try again. When he was training as a devil in Nishijin Fuji, he led his soldiers to undergo the trial of a thousand cavalrymen with his bare hands, and although he knew that the cavalry would turn when they rode closer, they still fought in two strands, and there were suspicious water stains in the crotch of his pants. After many days of training, I was a little numb to cavalry charges, but the sense of infantry's powerlessness against cavalry was still unforgettable.
The rebels were finally angry, and there were demons like Zhu Youcheng in the Ming army, and they confessed it, because no matter how tyrannical Zhu Youcheng was, he was alone after all, if he couldn't win, he could escape, and if he didn't work, he could pretend to be dead. Li Xuanba's guy doesn't seem to have the habit of tearing up corpses, and Zhu Youcheng probably won't either. But these 5,000 cavalry were too bullying, the horses were so high, the spears were so long, and they rushed over like a big mountain. It doesn't matter, the point is that it's useless to run away or pretend to be dead. Run away? The speed of the infantry is far inferior to that of the cavalry, where to flee? The mountains may be better, but the mountains are still far away, and they can't call the mountains over. Playing dead? Five thousand war horses have stepped on the body, so there is no need to pretend to be dead at all, because it is really dead.
Chen Guoqi led the cavalry like cutting tofu, pushing out a wide bloody road among the Yi people, and went straight to An Bangyan's Chinese army tent. An Bangyan is the leader of the rebels, and catching him is a great achievement, and Chen Guoqi naturally doesn't want to miss this credit.
Although it was very risky to kill 100,000 people with 5,000 men and horses, Chen Guoqi did not think it was a risk, because even if he encountered danger, with the mobility of the cavalry, he could quickly leave the battlefield.
As for the spear formation that Surtai trained? Let's forget that thing, when the outer city wall of Guiyang was breached, Chen Guoqi saw many Yiren soldiers who rushed into the city with spears to rob money, food, and women, and that was probably the pikemen trained by Surtai. After a fire, the spear formation of the Yiren rebels probably followed Surtai to the Netherworld. I just don't know how Mr. Ma Mian, the messenger of hell, will feel when he sees the spears of the cavalry and the restrained war horses come to Yin Si to report in a systematic manner.
When the Yiren rebels discovered Chen Guoqi's purpose, they immediately flashed to both sides.
Although they are An Bangyan's subordinates, they can't afford to die for An Bangyan. What's more, is it useful to work hard? Don't risk your life, and you can't delay the cavalry by half a minute. You see the brocade guard rushing over, no matter who is in front of him, there is a shot in the face, and then the war horse stepped up. This type will not be pierced to death by a steel gun, but will also be trampled to death by a horse.
However, the Yiren who flashed to both sides were squeezed back again, and this was not the credit of the Warlords. An Bangyan's descendants had more than 30,000 troops, and these troops were unscathed, and the Supervisory Squad was in the middle of it, with a complete structure and a perfect command system. But the Overseer had to be able to squeeze over, the scene was chaotic, crowded, not to mention people, even flies couldn't fly.
It turned out that the rebels from several other directions besieging Guiyang were concentrating together in the Chinese army tent in An Bangyan, preparing to evacuate at the same time. In fact, the best plan for withdrawal is to let the rebels choose their own retreat route and meet at a certain place. In this way, even if the defenders of Guiyang City pursue, they can only destroy one road and keep the other three roads safe.
It's a pity that An Bangyan is extremely distrustful of the junior generals, and the only thing he believes in is his son - no, his nephew is on the throne. He was afraid that when the junior officers had power, they would become independent. Alas, there is no way, this is how his military power came from, and he is afraid that others will follow suit.
