Chapter 368: Horse Stepping Company Camp
The reason for the mistake is very simple, the first 1,000 people who entered the camp gate are very normal, tattered battle robes, almost no armor, normal Ming beggar soldiers, and now this is also the dress of the rebels. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then it was not right, the tall horses, the whole body of iron, and the majestic cavalry entered the camp one by one.
If it were dozens, Wang Zideng thought that Zhang Wenhuan had used the money and food he got in Dengzhou to build his own guards, which was not a big deal, the elite family was different, this was the capital to save his life in the end, that is, all his guards were also armored, regardless of whether they were iron armor or leather armor.
But hundreds of such soldiers entered the big camp one after another, the Beijing camp, it must be the Beijing camp, and his mother's Zhang Wenhuan defected to the enemy.
Wang Zideng turned around and shouted, "It's the official army, prepare for war." ”
At this moment, two soldiers flashed out beside Zhang Wenhuan and fired a short shot at Wang Zideng, and there were two explosions.
One of Wang Ziden's guards pushed it, which saved Wang Ziden's life, one projectile hit his personal guard, and the other projectile hit Wang Ziden's shoulder.
Wang Ziden staggered and fell after being struck, and a dozen of his guards drew their blades and gathered around him to protect him.
Zhang Wenhuan's side, a villain who was as tall as a bear rushed to Wang Zideng with more than a dozen people.
The guards around Wang Ziden hurriedly stepped forward to fight, and the giant man danced the iron rod and knocked away several of the guards' weapons in an instant.
It's not a rush to kill, Wang Zideng's guards are all short weapons such as waist knives, if they can withstand such a huge force, the waist knife and long sword will either be knocked away or shattered.
The others around the giant man took advantage of the machine to clean up a few unarmed guards and cooperate with this tacit understanding.
At this moment, the cavalry quickened their horses and rushed towards the camp, and the sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the early morning.
Grinning his teeth, the prince who was helped up saw the cavalry speeding by. He knew it was over. At this time, most of the soldiers in the tent were asleep. Only a small number of people were on duty, but they certainly didn't expect someone to attack the camp like this, which is not a warning sign at all.
"Zhang Wenhuan, I won't let you go if I'm a ghost." Wang Ziden shouted bitterly.
With a thud, the last of the guards in front of him was knocked away with a stick.
Wang Zideng slashed the giant man with a waist knife in one hand, but unfortunately his left arm was injured and he couldn't bear it, but his strength was far behind.
The giant man's iron rod was raised upward. Wang Zideng's single knife was immediately taken off, and the iron rod then came back, knocking Wang Zideng out of the air, and when he landed, it was already unformed and rolled into a ball.
The deputy marshal of the Denglai rebel army and the former Dongjiang staff general Prince Deng died on the spot.
In order to cut off the enemy leader, Zhao Lie sent the melee fierce Yu Dabao, and it was really fatal with one blow.
The cavalry still flew into the camp, and the shouts of killing were everywhere, and the camp was stormed without preparation, and many of the soldiers did not even put on their living clothes, and they fled in all directions.
The cavalry was already scattered and slashed, driving the rebels around. In short, they could not be centrally organized, and the result was that the camp became more and more chaotic. All the people were dazed, and even in the end, even the cavalry of the Broken Army were scattered, anyway, when they saw the rebels, they were slashing and driving away.
Soon after Nan Yong led his 1,000 troops into the camp, he lost contact with most of his soldiers.
He led a hundred teams led by Yuan Gang and Lu Houcai to rush inside, and soon he found a place where the rebels were gathering.
They began to form a whole team, and even fired at the approaching Ming cavalry with three-eyed guns, and several cavalry of the Broken Army were on board.
"Yuan Gang, crush them with firearms." Nan Yong shouted.
Yuan Gang answered cleanly, waved his saber and led his cavalry to rush towards this group of four or five hundred rebels, and fired the short guns of the captives one after another at a distance of forty paces, and the projectiles rushed towards the rebels' military formation.
Immediately, the outer edge of the rebels' army formation was cut off by one layer, and it became fragmented, and there was no formation to speak of, and the rebels were in an uproar, and the morale that had just gathered was completely lost, and some of them continued to resist, and some fled in all directions.
Yuan Gang and a hundred cavalrymen brandished sabers and drove directly into the enemy formation, and in an instant, they broke through the formation and slashed and killed.
Nan Yong led Lu Houcai's 100 teams and more than a dozen of his own guards to rush to the other side, and sure enough, dozens of guards surrounded a rebel general in full iron armor and stumbled out.
Forty paces away, Nan Yong aimed at these people with the firearm in his hand, it was impossible to aim at specific people on the beating horse, but the enemy army was numerous, and it was enough to aim at the general direction.
There was a thud and a bang, and the rebels immediately fell more than a dozen people and rolled on the ground.
Nan Yong threw away the short gun in his hand, drew his saber and danced a knife flower, and rushed closer.
Suddenly, the outermost two rebels raised two three-eyed guns, and the fire rope on the side emitted green smoke.
Nan Yong cursed.
Bang bang, the three-eyed gun fired, six projectiles erupted one after another, Nan Yong's ears sounded a whistling, and the screams of the cavalry came from behind.
Nan Yong rushed close to the command, and the rebel blocked with a three-eyed gun, and was slashed by the Yanling knife made of fine iron, and the tip of the knife slashed from top to bottom in the rebel's face, and the rebel sent a miserable long trench and fell to the ground to fight for his life.
The hooves of Nan Yong's mount stepped on the rebels' bodies, and the muffled sound of broken bones came, and Nan Yong broke into the formation.
His guards also followed him into the military formation, and more than a dozen sabers wielded the enemy.
Which rebel general wielded a large knife left and right, and the muscles and muscles on his black face twitched, but his hands did not stop, and he resisted silently, and he would never surrender.
Lu Houcai suddenly appeared behind him, and the thick-backed big knife slashed Huashan with the force of the wind, and the rebel general hurriedly blocked it with a knife.
Lu Houcai's borrowing of horsepower and the power of his own swing were not something he could stop, but when he heard a loud noise, the big knife in the rebel's hand flew far away.
Lu Houcai's mount crashed into the rebel general's body, and the rebel general flew a few feet away with a muffled snort and fell to the ground.
Lu Houcai urged the horse to swing the knife cleanly, and turned his head in a different place.
After the inspection, it was found out that it was Kong Youde's old general, Chen Youde, who came from Dongjiang to vote for his old boss, and died in Huang County.
When Zhao Lie entered the camp, there was a mess inside, and the soldiers were nowhere to be found.
Han Jian, Lan Mingshan and others also joined the battle, there was no way, there were too many rebels in this big camp, and it was too broad.
Zhao Lie looked at this chaotic scene, yes, let's persuade him to surrender.
At first, Zhao Lie did not persuade him to surrender, it was because he was thousands of sneak attacks on tens of thousands, persuasion, how to persuade surrender, the other party was prepared, and the formation of a formation was enough for the army to drink a pot.
Now, the leader of the rebels has been killed, the dragons are leaderless, and there is no organized resistance.
Immediately, the shouts of disarming and not killing spread throughout the camp, and immediately many rebels threw down their weapons, in fact, they wanted to surrender for a long time, but after surrendering, don't be wronged and look at their heads to ask for credit, the officers and soldiers have done a lot of this thing.
Under the surveillance of the Breakers, the rebels put down their weapons and threw away their armor, and some of them rushed out of the camp and fled, but unfortunately they were not as fast as the cavalry of the Breakers, and they were killed in the field one by one.
Li Hui led his soldiers to be a guy now, collecting the armor and money, and the entire Liu Fugui Qian Corps did this.
The task was simple, go to a group of soldiers, load the stacked armor onto the wagon, and remove their armament.
This matter is not over yet, and it is necessary to check whether the soldiers have short blades and silver taels hidden on their bodies one by one, and some undead and extremely greedy ones either hide short soldiers or hide silver taels.
Therefore, they all have to search their bodies one by one, this work is both tedious and full of danger, maybe any of the troops are afraid of being searched for weapons, and they will be the first to break out and hurt people, so they must not be relaxed.
Li Hui watched the carriage containing silver taels gradually fill up, and he was also shocked, almost every rebel carried more than ten taels of silver, which was to rob the common people.
They went south from Nanjinggi all the way through Shandong and the northern part of Denglai, and conquered more than 10 county seats, three or four big cities, and even Dengzhou was captured.
Li Hui led the 100 teams to be busy until the end of the day, they didn't eat lunch, there were too many troops, nearly 40,000 troops, that is, Liu Fugui's 1000 teams were divided into ten groups, and each group also had to check thousands of troops, and they were busy with their hands and feet.
When Li Hui saw the soldiers who were watching and resting on the side at this time, he was really envious, jealous and hateful, and preparing troops is preparing soldiers.
He is not the only one who is envious, Liu Fugui saw Wu Han riding a tall horse, and he was also envious, jealous and hateful.
Wu Han was riding a tall chestnut stone island horse, looking at the much shorter black Mongolian horse he was sitting on, Lao Liu's face was a little dark.
Of course, it didn't affect their greetings, Ji Gang also stepped forward to salute the old chief, and now he was Wu Han's chief of guard, and he was by Wu Han's side.
The order to let the soldiers rest was given by Zhao Lie, who believed that there were still many rebels who had escaped from the camp, and there were too many rebels here
It is conceivable that Kong Youde knew the reaction when the back road was cut off, he must have given up attacking the official army, drove directly to Huangxian in the east, and recaptured the road leading to the Dengzhou base camp.
The cavalry team of 2,000 people, as well as the horse infantry team of 3,000 people, plus the night and the escort of nearly 6,000 cavalry are Zhao Lie's main force to deal with Kong Youde, of course, it must be repaired well, after all, the two-day march is also quite tiring.
In Shen Shizhong, Zhenfu reported the harvest to Zhao Lie.
In this battle of Huangxian County, the battle losses of the broken army were surprisingly small, of course, mixed into Zhang Wenhuan's army was the main reason, only a few thousand of the 50,000 rebels got up, and the rest were still asleep, so the broken army only had more than 300 casualties, of which less than 100 were killed.
The harvest was surprisingly large, more than 4,000 rebels were killed, more than 42,000 were captured, and the rest fled.
In addition, 28,000 spears, more than 37,000 waist knives, more than 5,400 infantry bows, more than 850 riding bows, more than 700 iron shields, more than 1,800 iron armor, more than 4,600 leather armor, and more than 8,000 cotton armor were confiscated.
More than 14,000 taels of gold, more than 784,000 taels of silver, and thousands of pieces of gold and silver jewelry, these are more than a million taels of silver.
That alone is a huge gain.
Zhao Lie and other high-level officials of the Broken Army smiled, most of the resettlement costs for the victims were solved this time, and the soldiers of the Broken Army were elated, and twenty percent of them belonged to them, each person could have a harvest of more than a dozen taels of silver, what a windfall this was, of course, it was worth rejoicing.
