The two armies are fighting, and the emphasis is on the first opportunity.

Preemptively, Shi Dayong gave an order, and two hundred wolf cavalry immediately rushed down the mountain under the leadership of Cao Bianjiao and rushed towards the rebels.

The two hundred Changping soldiers followed up under the leadership of Jiang Wanli, and their only task was to use the speed of their horses to disperse the rebels as quickly as possible and prevent them from forming a formation.

After the Jinzhou army charged, Peng Dazhui hesitated for a few seconds, and then rushed out of the city with a flick of his horsewhip. When the horse thieves saw that the big boss had rushed, they were busy beating their horses and followed.

His own people suddenly turned into deadly officers and soldiers, and this sudden change shocked the rebels from top to bottom.

No one thought that the officers and soldiers would dare to come to Shahe, let alone the cavalry!

The unprepared and unguarded rebels suddenly became confused, looking at the menacing officers, and the cowardly even cried out in fright.

"The officers and soldiers are coming, run, run!"

Chen's 5,000 rebels, except for the 300 Dongjiang Liao soldiers, were all strong men from all over Beizhili, and there were also some speculative bandits and green forest bandits.

These rabble, fighting some tailwind battles, waving flags and shouting, are not vulnerable to any attack when they meet officers and soldiers who can fight, let alone kill cavalry.

The sound of hooves on the snow made people's hearts fall out of the muffled sound.

If they had encountered officers and soldiers elsewhere, I am afraid that the rebels would not have collapsed so quickly, and at least they would have been able to hold on to the Liao soldiers for a while. But this place is Shahe, their old nest, and the sudden killing of officers and soldiers in the old nest cannot help but make the rebels have an illusion - Shahe has been broken by officers and soldiers!

As a result, as if to make matters worse, the rebels' psychological defense line was broken at once, and they did not even have the courage to resist, and collapsed almost instantly.

The strong men were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and ran towards the team behind them. The bandits and green forest thieves also began to seek self-protection, and some bold and ruthless people saw that there were still Liao soldiers in front of them, and the cavalry of the official army would not be able to rush for a while, so they went to rob the goods behind the team.

The entire rebel army was more than four miles long, with people and cars jammed all the way, and hundreds of women taken from Yanxing County in the back.

On the road, people were crowded, cars were crowded, and the rebels who were eager to flee for their lives even trampled on each other, and the rebels who were trampled under their feet by their own people couldn't stop screaming in pain.

Fleeing, looting, screaming women

Everything was messed up, so messy that Shi Dayong couldn't believe that this rebel army that made the Jingying and Beizhili Ming troops helpless was such a straw bag!

The rebel general in front of him was running for his life, and in sight, the rebels had not yet formed a defensive line.

Don't miss the opportunity, don't miss it again!

Shi Dayong wasted no time in issuing orders to the wolf cavalry and rushed towards the rebels who had not yet reacted!

When a well-trained elite and a makeshift rabble are in danger, the difference between the two sides is immediately apparent.

The two hundred Dongjiang Liao soldiers who were in the battle were worthy of fighting with the Dongyu Jiannu, and there were many outlaws among them.

"Don't run, don't run!"

"Formation, formation!"

"Release, release!"

The two Qianzhong who led the team were always the old subordinates who were guarding the left battalion of the infantry, and while they were intimidating the soldiers who were about to run, they anxiously ordered the old battalion to form a formation quickly.

Two hundred veteran soldiers of the Dongjiang River carried four medium guns, 100 large poles, and the power of firearms was enough to block the charge of these hundreds of cavalry. However, the appearance of the Jinzhou army was too surprising, and the speed of the charge was even more dizzying, coupled with the fact that the strong men who were wrapped in them were running around like headless flies, it was difficult for them to form a defensive line in the shortest possible time.

The sound of hooves in his ears was getting closer and closer, so close that these Liao soldiers who killed people without blinking were also terrified, and the hand holding the gun kept shaking, and the medicine couldn't be poured into the gun tube.

"Hurry up, release the gun!"

Seeing that the cavalry of the officers and soldiers was about to rush up, a thousand generals turned their hearts sideways, ignoring that Chen was sometimes in front of the gun, and anxiously ordered the soldiers to open the gun immediately.

When another Qianzong heard this order, he hurriedly shouted: "Can't let it go, the general hasn't come back yet!" ”

"When is it, I can still take care of him! If you don't let go of the guns, the officers and soldiers will be killed! "Mr. Qian, who wants to release the gun, is so anxious that his eyes are red.

"This" The Qian Zong who was not allowed to release the gun hesitated for a moment, quickly made the right decision, and yelled viciously: "Let go of the gun!" ”

Hearing the order, the Liao soldiers hurriedly erected the big pole, took out the fire fold and prepared to light it. However, it was already too late, and the Jinzhou Army's three-eyed gun sounded a second earlier than them.

"Bang, bang, bang"

A burst of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and before the black smoke in front of him dissipated, a black shadow appeared in front of him at high speed.

After colliding and smashing, the Liao soldiers were scattered by the wolf cavalry coming at high speed, and they were killed and wounded everywhere.

The ensuing battle was nothing remarkable and was entirely a demonstration of cavalry – a one-sided slaughter.

The rebel general Chen was sometimes trampled to death by the ensuing Jinzhou army because he fell from his horse due to the same fate as he originally was.

After rushing again and again, convinced that it was impossible for the rebels to form any resistance, Shi Dayong ordered to shout to the fleeing rebels, telling them to crouch down and surrender on the spot, otherwise they would be stabbed.

In this empty field, it is impossible for two legs to outrun a four-legged war horse.

Most of the rebels chose to surrender, so the scene of two or three wolf cavalry escorting dozens or even hundreds of rebels back was staged in front of Shi Dayong's eyes. This scene reminded him of the scene in the city of Nanjing in the later generations - several Japanese soldiers escorted thousands of Chinese soldiers to the river, and no one resisted.

There were also a small number of rebels, most of them were bandits who could ride horses, and took advantage of the chaos to grab some horses pulling carts and ran north.

Shi Dayong did not order the pursuit of these fleeing rebels. In his eyes, these are just small fish and shrimp, and no matter how much he runs, it won't make any difference.

After interrogating the two officers, it was learned that they were the rebels of Shahe, and the commander was Chen Shi.

Hearing this, Shi Dayong was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to search Chen out of the captives. But then came the news that Chen was sometimes dead.

After being identified by several rebels, Chen's body was carried to Shi Dayong.

The corpse had been twisted, almost all the bones had been trampled on, and only the facial bones were still holding a layer of flesh. There was a look of disbelief in his flesh-and-blood eyes, and when Chen was dying, he didn't even understand where these Liao troops came from and how they came to Shahe.

People died in ashes, although they were rebel generals, but there was no reason not to bury others. After waving his hand and ordering him to dig a pit in the snow and bury Chen Shi, Shi Dayong ordered the casualties and results to be counted

The process of the battle was no different from killing chickens with knives, and the Jinzhou army suffered three casualties - one dead and two wounded.

The one who died was a war horse that had fallen from his horse and was killed by the panicked rebels. The two injured were injured by the guns, and neither of them was serious.

More than 3,600 rebels were captured, and more than 400 were killed or wounded.

One-tenth of the casualties wiped out the entire army, and this casualty ratio made Shi Dayong despise the fighting power of Kong Youde's rebels, and also made him more confident in his army.

At this time, the rebels who were gathered together found that the attacking officers and soldiers were only a few hundred, and the number was even a fraction of what they were now.

Some began to regret that they should not have surrendered, especially the more than 30 Dongjiang Liao soldiers, who threatened the people around them, saying that the officers and soldiers would not let them go, and that they might be slaughtered immediately.

But most people chose to surrender sincerely, and the majority of them were strong men from Hebei. They are civilians who have been coerced and have no identity with the rebels. But after being forced to join the rebels, they more or less participated in the actions of the rebels, and also played for the tiger, so under the intimidation of those Dongjiang Liao soldiers and bandits who were unwilling to be captured, Zhuang Ding also began to feel uneasy in his heart, afraid that the official army would liquidate them.

An uneasy atmosphere began to stir in the ranks of the captives.

All the rescued women were taken captive from Haixing County, and there were more than 500 of them. These women were still so frightened and uneasy when they saw the Jinzhou army appear, because the uniforms of the Jinzhou army were the same as those of the rebels. After repeated statements and reassurance, these women stopped crying, believing that they had really been rescued by the official army.

Goods and the like, because they are scattered everywhere, are difficult to count quickly. Shi Dayong asked Jiang Wanli to send 50 people to select 200 honest people from the captives to collect and count goods.

This one-sided battle lasted for half an hour because of the large number of rebels, and the movement was quite large, and it was impossible for the rebels in Shahe Town not to hear the movement. But there have been no rebels in the town, which makes Shi Dayong a little strange.

After questioning the captured officers, Shi Dayong learned that there were only 500 rebels in the town of Ludao, and he thought that those rebels saw that the officers and soldiers were cavalry, and he knew that Ludao could not be defeated, so he shrank in the town and did not dare to come out.

It was already dark, with so many captives and women in charge, and there was no bridge to cross the river, Shi Dayong was embarrassed whether to continue to attack Shahe or retreat with these captives, women, and goods.

At three o'clock, Shao Wu and Li Dashan finally arrived with another 300 Changping soldiers, and when they saw that the general had won a battle and killed the rebel general Chen Shi, the soldiers immediately cheered excitedly.

In the midst of the cheers, Shahe Town, which had not moved, suddenly had a voice, and in the sight of the Jinzhou army, a team of more than 100 people was walking towards the riverbank.

There was no bridge on the river, and Shi Dayong didn't know whether these people were shouting across the river or crossing the river, so he watched quietly.

Who knows, those people actually walked directly onto the river and walked along the ice to the river!

The ice in the Sand River is so thick that you can walk away!

"Xiao Cao, I'll do it when they come over!"

Shi Dayong saw that there seemed to be soldiers in the crowd, and whispered to Cao Bianjiao to lead people to prepare, as long as those people came to the river, they would be cleaned up.

But what surprised Shi Dayong again was that when the gang walked to the middle of the river, they suddenly stopped leaving, but shouted to this side with torches: "The small ones are the people of Shahe Town, I heard that the imperial court officials and soldiers are coming, and I am here to reward the army!" ”
