Chapter 352 How is it possible?

Just looking at the historical data, I understand the battle under the city of Chuzhou in history. The disparity in power between the two warring sides is stark in terms of numbers. The result was a victory for the side with a very small number of people, and the beheading record was one thousand two hundred. It is incomprehensible that a team of hundreds of thousands of people was defeated simply because it lost more than a thousand people.

In this battle in history, Zu Kuan took the lead, and then Lu Xiangsheng took Luo Dai, Yang Shien and other generals to follow up and break the enemy with fire.

Chen Xie's judgment is that fire attack is the key, which is also the key to why Gao Yingxiang and many other rogues were defeated after only losing more than 1,000 people. The fire attack is easy to use, and Chen Xie also wants to do it, but there is a key factor, the old battalion of Gao Yingxiang's department is mainly a horse team, and once it is defeated, it will continue to wander and fight, and the officers and soldiers will destroy his elite. This is also the key to Gao Yingxiang's subsequent joint 24 battalions such as Sweeping King and Ziweixing to attack Xuzhou.

The battle of Chuzhou in history was precisely the pinnacle of Gao Yingxiang's rebellious life. Then his rebellion was carried down the road at high speed until he was defeated and captured, and was sent to Beijing to die. The two main characters who cleaned up Gao Yingxiang, one was Lu Xiangsheng, when he was at his peak, when his ambition swelled to the extreme, he was beaten back to his original form. The other is Sun Chuanting, when Gao Yingxiang's basic plate was still there, he simply defeated and captured him alive.

Chen Xie is not a good person, he came to Chuzhou to take other people's paths, so that others have no way out. It is to capture Gao Yingxiang in a battle under the city of Chuzhou, and cut off the opportunity for others to make meritorious contributions.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang was still very confident. At least he didn't see anything special about the Dengzhou battalion fighting. Harassment last night. The impact on his old battalion and the main forces of the battalions was also not very great.

"Raise your gun!" Two thousand smoothbore guns are the main force today, and a battalion was used by Chen Xie as a reserve. At the moment, it is falling behind the flanks, ready to go into battle at any time, covering the flanks. I can't help but say that Chen Xie is very careful.

Also careful was Li Zicheng, seeing that Guan Ningjun had not moved, he did not dare to act rashly. In Li Zicheng's mind, the Guanning army is the great enemy, as for the Dengzhou battalion, who knows if he hasn't seen it? Li Zicheng ordered the troops to stop. The closest enemy formation at the moment. It's only three miles. This is a good starting distance for cavalry charges.

"Gao Yigong, you take 2,000 people to rush, don't rush too hard. If the situation is not right, immediately retreat. Li Zicheng couldn't do it, watching Gao Yingxiang fight there. His task was to strike on the flanks. Last night, when I was deliberating. No one expected that the Dengzhou battalion would dare to divide troops at this juncture.

…………………………

The Tianxiong army on the official road is still on the way, and if you want to talk about the speed of the march, Lu Xiangsheng has completely lost his temper. This will be eighty miles away from Chuzhou. It's too far to be dumped. The Dengzhou battalion walked for a long time, and they all arrived under the city last night, and now the fight has started, right? The echoing sound of cannon could be heard in the distance.

Yang Tinglin's expression has always been very strange, looking at Lu Xiangsheng's anxious eyes and said, "Jiandou, did we misunderstand this Chen Sihua?" Lu Xiangsheng didn't think about it and said: "Misunderstanding or misunderstanding is like that, even if we don't misunderstand, can others accept his approach?" In the Ming Dynasty, a military general is like him, can the world's civil servants allow him to break the rules? ”

Yang Tinglin was speechless, Lu Xiangsheng saw through the essence, this is a matter of position. Although the infighting between the civil servants was also fierce, in the face of the military generals, the overall interests must be highly consistent.

……………………………………

Overlooking the battlefield, it is not difficult to see that the Dengzhou battalion at this moment is in a cone, with the crosspimen at the front, followed by the pikemen, and then the sword and shield soldiers. As the main force of destruction, the two thousand musketeers responsible for the main output are actually on the two wings, which can be up and down, and are very mobile. And the location of the barbed wire fence is mainly on the front of the two wings. Even if the cavalry wanted to rush up to attack the smoothbore riflemen, it would be difficult to bypass the barbed wire. The middle section is a reserved passage, and in order to enter the formation, it is necessary to pass through the phalanx of guò cross-lancers and pikemen.

At this time, looking at the tactics of the thieves, a comparison reveals how rough they are. More than a dozen chaotic teams, rushing forward together, these people are not a family. The peasant army was divided into more than a dozen big leaders, and the small leaders were even more than a hundred. You have a little people, I have a little people, and more than 10,000 people have come together to take the lead.

It's impossible to fight like this without chaos. Each family is doing the same thing, which is to preserve strength. This is also the reason why the peasant army took the initiative to retreat after losing more than 1,000 people in the first battle of Chuzhou. There is no unity at all, cooperation is forced.

Gao Yingxiang also saw that something was wrong, and the Dengzhou camp was too calm. Standing in his position, he saw more than 10,000 people rushing forward regardless of a single qiē, but the Dengzhou camp on the opposite side stood like a pile, and each phalanx was a small hill. It seems that the swarming on the other side is just a group of dead people, how did this soldier train? Not to mention Gao Yingxiang, Zu Kuan, who has been on standby in the middle, feels incredible. After so many years of fighting, it is the first time I have seen such an army.

Fifty steps! The sound of gunfire was like rain, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air. The torrent rolling forward, like an extra gate in front of it, instantly contained that unstoppable momentum. At the same time, it was suppressed and the earth-shattering shouting of killing.

This was a tight start, the platoons of guns on both sides fired like rain, and the artillery position in the center suddenly burst into flames, and on the two-mile-wide front, it was like a tornado, instantly knocking over all the creatures within a radius of 50 meters in front of them. This kind of scene can no longer be described in words, and countless civilian troops who are rushing forward with their heads bored will have an abrupt end of their advance momentum at the moment when they opened fire with a shotgun. The sound of small lead balls like popping raindrops into the flesh is terrifying to listen to.

At the front of the flow of people, there was a blood mist rising one after another. The momentum of the forward rush was slapped hard.

This scene of the first shotgun fire, the fallen crowd one by one. It's like a big pie that is intertwined with canine teeth that you can't react to in the time you can't react. The survivors looked at the people around them, subconsciously stopped, and after looking carefully, they didn't know how many people were directly scared.

The platoon of guns continued, and the people who stopped in front of the barbed wire fence were all live targets one by one. At a distance of fifty paces, three shots rang out non-stop, and the continuous sound of gunfire was like the sound of the Grim Reaper's scythe breaking through the air. Human bodies fell one by one on the battlefield, and the screams of the maimed and undead were like ghosts crying from hell.

There was no previous collision between the two armies after contact, and there was no sound of swords and guns slashing in the past. The sound of gunfire continued, one by one, beating at the heart that was about to collapse.

In less than three minutes, the flow of people rushing to the front of me stopped, and everyone turned around and ran back. Running back in spite of a single qiē, they pushed down their companions and trampled on their companions. The gunfire behind him continued, snapping like black and white impermanence waving a filial piety stick. For the first charge of more than 10,000 people, no one knows how many people can be left to go back. I only saw the guns blaring on the position, and the artillery was bombarding, knocking down those who could not retreat.

Chen Xie, who had been carefully observing the battlefield, hesitated at this time, but Chang Shiren said in time: "The opportunity has come!" "What a chance, a chance to crush the opponent in one fell swoop. At this time, the entire People's Army was stupefied by what happened in just three minutes, and had never seen such an efficient killing machine.

"Flag! Sue sù Zukuan and He Xian, wait patiently for a while, the enemy will be dispersed, and immediately chase and kill. Chen Xie made a decisive choice, at this time he believed what was said in the history books, and he really only needed to behead more than 1,000 people to defeat hundreds of thousands of people.

The next thing that needs to be done is very simple, Chen Xie is carrying his own special long knife, and behind him is the guard, which is also a special long knife. Through one phalanx after another, Chen Xie appeared in front of the crossmen in the first row, and the red flag behind him decisively followed the sword and slanted forward, this is the banner: "The whole army attacks!" ”

"Dengzhou battalion, forward!" Chen Xie walked in the first row, and next to him was a phalanx of cross-spears.

"Dengzhou battalion, forward!" Closely followed by the ash spearmen, the sword and shield brigade caught up with Chen Xie in time, and followed him to protect him at any time. The grenadiers followed closely behind the sword and shield men. Finally, the smoothbore gunners followed.

"Dengzhou battalion, forward!" The fifth battalion of Jiazi moved, followed the red flag at the front, stepped on the corpses and bloodstains all over the ground, and the Dengzhou battalion launched an active attack. Everyone saw the red flag and knew that their Lord would be at the forefront, where the red flag would be, and they would not move forward.

"Dengzhou battalion, forward!" In the direction of Zhulong Bridge, a B-shaped battalion and a A-shaped battalion, facing the Gao Yigong Department that was attacking, let out a neat shout, and the formation advanced neatly, and when the sound of rolling horses' hooves was about 500 paces away, there was a neat brush. "Stand upright, raise your gun!" The spears are like a forest, shining forward.

A thousand riflemen of the A-shaped battalion quickly stood at the front, quickly raising their guns and pulling the trigger. After the fight, retreat from both sides.

Gao Yigong, who was rushing forward, habitually wanted to go around in circles in front of the formation to find opportunities, but he didn't expect that there was still a distance of two hundred steps, and the bird on the opposite side thought about it. The moment he heard the gunshot, Gao Yigong was happy, but the next moment he was stunned.

Poof, not far from him, two companions who had been battle-hardened soldiers in the Yulin Border Army suddenly leaned back, as if they were pulled back by an invisible hand, and a stream of bloody arrows rushed out in front of them.

How is this ...... possible? There is only one thought left in Gao Yigong's mind! Li Zicheng, who watched the battle later, was the same.

How is this ...... possible? Gao Yingxiang's reaction was also such a thought, the Dengzhou battalion actually made an attack. (To be continued......)
