The rebels' artillery was really powerful, and when the cannon sounded, Shi Dayong knew that the left and right battalions of the Ludao infantry were going to collapse, and sure enough, the former rebel prisoners who had just been trained for a few days could not stand the shelling at all, and when the cannon whistled and did not land, the crowd collapsed.

Soldiers who have not experienced brutal battles and have not climbed through the mountains of blood corpses are definitely not credible, not to mention that these people were still part of the rebel army a few days ago. They did not have the determination to fight for their homeland, let alone the loyalty to the Son of Heaven. In the face of a crisis, they instinctively choose to hide or surrender, as they did in Shahe.

The second battalion infantry army is too short, and the soldiers are mixed, it should not have been put into battle so quickly, let alone the first battle is to face the main force of the rebels head-on, if they encounter only a small group of rebels first, under the leadership of the Changping soldiers, I am afraid they can also be honed to become a strong army that can fight and dare to fight. Now this performance is indeed unacceptable.

But in any case, in order to allow these two battalions of infantry to enter the battle as soon as possible, Shi Dayong's investment in them is also huge, not to mention anything else, that is, in terms of time, Shi Dayong gritted his teeth and made a decision, but he was delayed for six days in Shahe before setting off for Laizhou.

In six days, the hard work of the whole people in Jinzhou was better than their performance when they were rebels. However, what is unexpected is that these recruits collapsed so quickly, Shi Dayong thought that he could hold at least half a pillar of incense for a long time, but this was only a round of shelling, and before they could break their muscles and bones, they collapsed.

What makes people most angry is that these two thousand bastards have not let go, not a single gun!

The rout came so fast that Shi Dayong had to adjust his strategy, and he decided to abandon these unsuccessful soldiers.

If they want to run, let them run, as long as they can attract the rebels' horse caravan

"Run!"

After the first cannon fell, I don't know who was the first to shout the sound of escape, and soon, the 2,000 captives of the 2nd Infantry Battalion began to run behind them.

This kind of escape is completely disorderly, and it is a matter of whose legs are faster.

The collapse was so fast that Li Dashan and Shao Wu, who were in charge of the formation, couldn't even suppress it. Seeing the rebel horse team rushing up, he had no choice but to lead the two hundred Changping soldiers who did not flee with the prisoners to the rear and fight and retreat.

The muskets of the two hundred Changping soldiers inflicted some casualties on the rebels' horse team, but without the cover of reinforcements, it was impossible for two hundred men to hold back a thousand cavalry in any case.

The rebels' horse team also found these Ming troops who were still resisting, and the horse team that was chasing and killing split two teams to kill the Changping soldiers. The number is around three hundred.

Obviously, those rebel horse teams knew that the Ming army that was resisting was probably the leader of this Ming army, and it was difficult to eat it in one bite, so they wisely used their advantage - speed, one attacked from the front, and the other was outflanked to the rear, wanting to cut off the retreat of these Ming troops in one fell swoop, so that they had no way to escape.

The anxious rebels even began to search for the generals who led the team from the crowd, according to experience, there can be two hundred capable soldiers, how can this general who lead the team also have the rank of deputy general, if this is captured alive, the reward on the side of the commander will not be less!

"Brothers, arrest the great officials!"

The rebels pounced on the Changping soldiers with red eyes. The shouts of the arresting officials attracted dozens of rebels who were chasing the deserters, and without hesitation, they turned their horses and joined the siege of the Changping soldiers.

"Release!"

Li Dashan and Shao Wu each led a hundred Changping soldiers to resist. Under the sound of guns, dozens of rebels fell from their horses, but more rebels rushed closer.

Unlike the Liao cavalry, the rebels' cavalry did not use firearms as weapons, perhaps because they did not have three-eyed firearms. Because of the wide variety of members, there are all kinds of weapons, and there are even those that make hammers and axes. As a result, the rebels' horse corps had no long-range weapons, not even bows and arrows, and they forced their attacks by virtue of their ferocity. Therefore, within the distance of the Changping soldiers, the rebels suffered greatly.

But if they are allowed to rush up, the consequences are terrible. There were so few soldiers in Changping that it was difficult to form an array that could rival the cavalry.

Li Dashan and Shao Wu had both led their troops to participate in the previous battles of the Songshan Army against Jiannu, so they were also impressed by the impact of the cavalry, and in the absence of sufficient defensive weapons and troops, their brows were always furrowed, and they looked into the depths of the dense forest from time to time

"His grandmother's!"

Seeing that the Changping soldiers were trapped, Cao Bianjiao scolded hatefully, and asked Shi Dayong to fight: "General, go on!" ”

Shi Dayong didn't say a word, just looked at the swarming rebel horse team.

He was waiting, waiting for the rebels' horse corps to scatter; He was waiting, waiting for the corpses of those recruits to make the rebel horse team completely crazy.

The battle of Xiaoguantun was not within his expectations, and the speed of the rebels surprised him, and he regretted that he should not have wasted his precious six days, otherwise, he should have led his troops to garrison the city of Laizhou at this moment, instead of confronting the main force of the rebels here.

After discovering the rebels, Shi Dayong, who was at a disadvantage, had no choice but to respond passively, originally wanting the second battalion infantry to contain several attacks by the rebels, and then he led the wolf cavalry to suddenly rush out and break the enemy in one fell swoop. In this way, even if it does not inflict heavy damage on the main forces of the rebels, it can still break their bones and bones.

But now it seems that the change in the tide of battle is no longer beyond his control.

Damn artillery!

Shi Dayong gritted his teeth and cursed, the rebels of the heavenly killing really used the artillery of Dengzhou City, and I don't know if Sun Yuanhua really built hundreds of artillery pieces, if it is true, then every battle in the future will not have to use flesh and blood to fight the cannons!

How many fucking soldiers does it take to fill those hundreds of cannons?!

Shi Dayong couldn't imagine what kind of bloodthirsty monster a rebel army with hundreds of artillery pieces would be, and he couldn't think that far ahead, what he could do now was to inflict maximum damage on the rebels before the entire army was annihilated.

The rebels' horse corps and the infantrymen who were surging up became Shi Dayong's target. It seems that the second infantry battalion, which was about to collapse at the touch of a button, made the opposing commander's general light on the enemy.

No matter what kind of bitter battle Li Dashan and Shao Wu fell into, Shi Dayong had to wait, wait for the rebels' foot soldiers to enter the attack range of the wolf cavalry, and then rush out in one go, killing them on their backs. If you rush out now, it will be tantamount to startling the snake, and it is very likely that you will be knocked out by the rebel artillery on the way to the charge.

As for those horse teams, Shi Dayong still doesn't pay attention to them, these horse teams can't be called any kind of cavalry.

Now, he could only watch Li Dashan and Shao Wu fall into a bitter battle, and he had no choice

The Changping soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Battalion led by Li Dashan and Shao Wu fell into a bitter battle, and suffered heavy losses under the frantic attack of the rebel horse team.

Although the new guns captured from the rebels were powerful and long-range, they were still the same reloading and complicated ropes, and could not form a fire suppression against the rebels at all.

After the last salvo was finished, Li Dashan and Shao Wu could only order their subordinates to discard the fire guns and draw their long knives for hand-to-hand combat.

Hand-to-hand combat of infantry against cavalry.

When the brave meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and at this moment, the fight is courage and blood.

Cao Bianjiao's eyes were almost dripping blood, and he saw that it was a corpse that was chopped to death by the opponent's saber, and what he saw was the face of a warrior pierced by the opponent's spear.

Although the two hundred Changping soldiers were not afraid of death and overturned more than 100 war horses of the rebels, they were also taken 100 lives in an instant, and the rest of the people were also surrounded by each other and were being compressed into a small circle.

Li Dashan and Shao Wu were like bloody men, and the fierceness of the battle was no less than any battle they had experienced before.

watched those Changping soldiers who were still alive just now turn into cold corpses and lay on the ground one by one. Shi Dayong's heart was like being stabbed by a needle, these familiar subordinates were not afraid of death at all, and they were also calm when they fell to the ground, perhaps because they were calm for their own vocation, or calm when they saw that they had successfully delayed the opponent's attack speed.

Of course, there was also a hint of unwillingness on their faces, but whether that unwillingness was unwilling for their own lives or unwilling for not killing a few more rebels, no one could say clearly.

did not die on the battlefield of Liaodong in the decisive battle with the Dongyu, but died on the battlefield of the civil war in which brothers and sisters were killed, and it cannot but be said that it was the regret of these Changping soldiers who were bent on avenging their family and country.

Seeing that the number of Changping soldiers who were surrounded was getting smaller and smaller, and people were constantly nailed to the ground by spears and knocked to the ground by war horses, if they didn't get reinforcements, they would soon be slaughtered and slack!

Cao Bianjiao couldn't bear it any longer, ignoring Shi Dayong's lack of orders, he turned his head and shouted to the wolf riders' subordinates: "Follow me, we can't let our brothers die in vain!" ”

After saying that, he was about to rush over on his horse, but Shi Dayong suddenly dragged him off his horse, stopped him deadly, and shouted: "Wait a minute!" ”

"What are you waiting for?!" Cao Bianjiao was so anxious that his eyes were red, Li Dashan and they couldn't stand it, if they didn't go up, it would be all over!

Shi Dayong's hand pointed at the rebel foot soldiers who had already rushed over, and said in a deep voice: "Wait for them to get closer!" “

If you get closer, if you don't fight, it's just a battle, and after all, the first battle is a complete success!

Cao Bianjiao gritted his teeth and punched his thigh, he couldn't help but obey the order.

The fighting continued, the screams continued, and the triumphant cheers of the rebels continued.

Finally, Shi Dayong's cold voice came from behind the mask: "Armor!" ”

Behind him, the light cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately put on heavy armor for the wolf horseman, and the sound of the clash of armor was very crisp in the woods.

After the wolf rode and put on the armor, Shi Dayong glanced back at them, pulled out his long knife, and roared: "Long live the Son of Heaven!" Then the horse rushed out, and the tip of the long knife in his hand cut long marks in the void.

"Long live the Son of Heaven!"

The three hundred wolf cavalry responded like thunder, and slowly rushed out of the forest, the speed of the horse became faster and faster, and when the speed of the war horse was reached, the torrent of heavy armored iron cavalry collided fiercely with more than a hundred unsuspecting rebels who were chasing deserters

", what's going on!"

Li Jiucheng couldn't believe his eyes: where did the cavalry of the Ming army come from! Look at it again, and gasp: Heavy armor iron rider!

The wolf rode with a heavy armor blow, and the elite of the Jiannu Eight Banners was still unstoppable, let alone these rabble rebel horse teams.

The dozens of rebels who were at the forefront of the pursuit fell from their horses, their horses neighing and falling to the ground, rolling on the ground and screaming. More than a dozen rebels who followed closely were caught off guard by these fallen horses, and the horses fell heavily with their masters.

Armed to the teeth, the Iron Float bared its hideous teeth in the sunlight and crushed the rebels.

The rebel horse team, which was excited to kill, was completely spontaneous, and they were divided into more than a dozen units, which were spread over the battlefield of less than two miles.

In terms of numbers, they were more than three times the wolf cavalry, but they suffered scattered losses, and in front of them, those scattered rebel horse teams could not resist the frantic charge of the heavy armored iron cavalry.

It is to let them gather in one place, and under the impact of the iron tower monster Iron Floating Tu, how long can they resist?

The wolf cavalry that suddenly came out was almost swept by the wind and fell leaves, and quickly ran over the four rebel horse teams. Everywhere he went, there were fallen horsemen and horses that had fallen to the ground

After Shi Dayong led the wolf cavalry to rush out, Jiang Wanli glanced at his 250 Changping soldiers who were not skilled in equestrianism, and said in a loud voice: "Today's battle is the time for us to be loyal to the country, and the brothers will go with the general to kill the enemy!" After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse without looking back, raised his whip, and rushed over first.

The light cavalry looked at each other, no one spoke, some of them turned over and got on their horses in unison, and their silent faces were written with loyalty and perseverance that were not afraid of death.

"Long live the Son of Heaven! The Liao army is mighty! ”

The sound of hooves resounded through the dense forest again, rushing towards the battlefield.

Peng Sihai and the other horse thieves were stunned for a moment when they saw that the Liao army had all gone out, and then they all looked at Peng Dazhui together, and their eyes were asking if we want to follow?

Peng Dazhui raised the knife in his hand and scolded his subordinates: "What are you doing in a daze, we owe him a life to the Liao army, the husband is a promise, now it's time to cash in!" Those who are not afraid of death go with Lao Tzu to fight the rebels! Even if you die and be a ghost, you don't owe anything in this life! ”

"Those who are not afraid of death are with the big boss!" Peng Sihai was the first to respond to his uncle, turned over on his horse, and shouted at the group of horse thieves: "Let's call them Liao Jun also knows the way, our master is also a good man, not his mother's bear!" Who the hell wants to be a bear, go for your own life, don't lose the face of the big boss here! ”

"The big boss, we will listen to you, if you want us to go to Daoshan, we will go to Daoshan; Tell us to go to the sea of fire, let's go to the sea of fire, this life is owed to him Liao Army, and today I will repay this love with the big boss! ”

One of the horse thieves blushed, and as soon as his neck was thick, he turned over and got on the horse, and when the rest of the people saw this, they all got on the horse without saying a word.

"When the brothers joined the group, they swore that they would not be born on the same day, the same month, the same year, but the same day, but the same year, the same month, and the same day. Don't say anything, the brothers are doing it with you! ”

"Just say that, brothers!"

Peng slitched his spit, clamped his legs, and rushed out of the bento first.

"Kill!"

The horse thieves shouted and swung their knives and followed.

After the wolf cavalry wiped out the rebel horse team in front of them, they rushed towards the rebel foot soldiers who were rushing up like a sword.

Those rebel foot soldiers were all civilians who had been coerced, and where had they seen the heavily armored iron cavalry, they saw their own horse team in front of them retreating all the way, and they were immediately frightened and ran back.

The appearance of the rout and the second battalion of the left and right infantry of the Jinzhou Army was the same as withdrawing, and the officers could not hold it down at all.

"Run, the official army is coming, the official army is coming, the official army is coming!"

The panicked rebels took the heavily armored wolf cavalry as a strange horse, and kept shouting.

More than 3,000 people ran back at the same time, like a tide rushing to the shore, faster than their pace of charge.

After running back for more than a hundred steps, the sound of the fire gun sounded, and the sound was not from the Ming army in the rear, but from the front of the soldiers and horses that were slowly pressing forward in a dense queue.

"Whoever passes this sword is killed!"

With a long shout, Geng Zhongyi slammed his sword to the ground.
