Chapter 120: Abandon the Army and Flee (Ask for Collection, Tickets)
Facing the slowly approaching Ming army, a fierce and ruthless shout sounded from behind the Qing army's array, "Attack, advance, and those who retreat are killed!" Whoever turns back! β
The drums of war were beating, but they were beating a little messily, but the Qing army, which was "immobile as a mountain", suddenly shouted and rushed towards the battle formation of the Ming army.
Is this the real battle array? Zhu Yongxing's eyes widened, he almost stood up on the horse, and his breathing was heavy, watching the surging charge and fighting. Swords and guns were wielded, flesh and blood were flying, and the sound of killing and screaming was full of ears. Thousands of people rushed together, and the sceneβ
The brows of Bai Wenxuan, who was in charge of the command, were furrowed more and more, and he could already see more and more clearly, the Qing army rushed up with all auxiliary soldiers, although they looked brave, but they could not shake the battle line of the Ming army at all. One by one, the auxiliary soldiers with poor equipment and low combat skills were ruthlessly cut down and stabbed by the armor soldiers of the Ming army, which was almost a one-sided massacre.
As the saying goes: the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway. Bai Wenxuan is a veteran of the battlefield, so he naturally has different views and opinions from Zhu Yongxing, and he also came to conclusions earlier than Zhu Yongxing.
"Could it be that the Qing army wants to attack from the side?" Bai Wenxuan's heart tightened, and he quickly looked to the sides.
In fact, Bai Wenxuan was ready, but this somewhat strange battle situation made him a little cranky. The battlefield was not particularly vast, and there was not much room for the Ming army's soldiers and auxiliaries to set up. It is impossible for the Qing army to come out of the ground, Bai Wenxuan shook his head, and gave another order, send more scouts, and not let go of any suspicion.
"The Qing army is going to attack the general, or is it His Highness?" Ma Bao was also suspicious, turned his head and looked at it from a distance, the protection of the Ming army is very tight, there should be no problem!
"Where did those Qing cavalry go?" Mazde stood on his horse and looked hard, puzzled. In his opinion, the real opponents are those who are the first to ride, so he pays special attention.
"It's gone." Liu Zhen is also a question mark in his head, this battle is weird, it's really weird.
After withstanding the initial onslaught of the Qing army, the Ming army began to advance. The war drums were still not in a hurry or impatient, and Bai Wenxuan was still very cautious and did not dare to easily disrupt the formation.
"Got the upper hand!" Zhu Yongxing sat back in the saddle and breathed a sigh of relief, but then he stood up again and looked at the battlefield in disbelief.
It's not just that they gained the upper hand, but that the Qing army suddenly collapsed. The Qing army, which had bravely assaulted just now, was suddenly defeated like a landslide. Thousands of Qing troops either surrendered on the spot, or trampled on each other and retreated in panic.
Is the medicine too strong? Zhu Yongxing had such a thought in an instant, and even more strange things were still to come.
A large number of Qing soldiers retreated towards the gate of the camp, crowded densely, the back pushed the front, and the front pushed the gate of the village. The Qing soldiers on the wall of the wall did not seem to have any claims, but just threw a few rolling logs and stones at the bottom of the wall, and began to flee.
With a "boom", the wooden gate was finally pushed down by the surging flow of people, and the Qing soldiers trampled and cried and fled to the camp.
Everyone watched in amazement at the sudden changes on the battlefield. Through the gate of the wall, you can see that the Qing army camp is already in chaos, obviously not an ambush.
"Daniel Zhang - abandoned the army and absconded?" Bai Wenxuan didn't dare to accept this fact, it was incredible, but there was no other explanation for everything in front of him.
"Hey, let Daniel Zhang play this trick." Ma Bao also reacted, regretting that his intestines were blue, and there was no doubt that he would have to bear a lot of responsibility for this kind of thing.
"Chase, those Qing army armor horses don't run far, and it's good to be angry by slashing and killing." Mazde had already grasped the saber and looked at Ma Bao anxiously.
Liu Zhen glanced back at the direction of the flag, the flag finally changed, and Bai Wenxuan reacted quickly after being stunned.
"Chase!" Ma Bao roared loudly, as if he wanted to vent the depression in his chest through the roar.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
These guys, thousands of people, were frightened by less than 200 Qing soldiers, and they didn't have the heart to resist at all.
Zhu Yongxing looked at the groups of captured Qing army auxiliaries, and at first felt very incomprehensible. But then through the interrogation, he could only shake his head helplessly.
For this military operation, Daniel Zhang and Line Guoan brought a total of nearly 40,000 auxiliary soldiers, and now only more than 10,000 remain. The rest of the auxiliaries died due to the harsh environment and the discrimination of survival, in the wounded, sick, abused, and killed. It can be said that these living people are all nine deaths, and they are really too scared.
Moreover, in order to boost morale, the Qing soldiers who were responsible for directing and mobilizing also did some ideological work. For example, after this battle, they were upgraded to soldiers, and they could eat enough every day and get military salaries; After the battle begins, Daniel Zhang will lead a surprise attack with elite troops, and victory will not be a problem......
Human nature is cowardly, and it is not uncommon in history to be willing to be a substitute for the dead, or to sit and wait for a knife. Even hundreds of years later, when the island country invaded, there was still this kind of "mourning its misfortune and being angry with it" from time to time.
What would I do if I were in that environment? Whether it is a desperate fight or a stealing life, one more day is a day, and one more time is a moment.
Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly, shook off this tangled idea, took Daniel Zhang's book, and couldn't help but cry and laugh a little after reading it.
A guy who regards the life of a soldier as a mustard even shamelessly begs him to be kind to the wounded and sick soldiers who stay in the camp, I don't know what this guy thinks.
"Daniel Zhang still left a lot of grain and grass, obviously because he was afraid that our army would be angry after the plan, and when he saw that the grain and grass were destroyed, he was even more resentful and hateful, and killed these wounded and sick out of anger." Bai Wenxuan's face did not have the joy after the victory, but looked depressed because he fell for the trick, and said in a low voice: "Abandon the army and flee, the soldiers under him will inevitably have a sense of sadness after the death of a rabbit and a fox, and how can they have no resentment and grievances?" Daniel Zhang did this, which can be regarded as buying people's hearts. β
Zhu Yongxing thought about it carefully, Daniel Zhang should indeed think like this. Leaving books and food can be regarded as an explanation to his subordinates, and somewhat calming the dissatisfaction and contempt of the soldiers who abandoned the army and fled. If he was wounded and killed, Daniel Zhang could blame the cruelty of the Ming army and reduce his responsibility; If he survives from injury, he must have released the rumors of a request for food, and I am afraid that some people will be grateful to him!
Unfortunately, I wasn't going to kill the sick and wounded in the first place, and your caution was in vain. Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and threw Daniel Zhang's book to the ground. Don't underestimate the political and ideological work I am going to do, not only will these injuries not thank you, but they will also be full of hatred for you, and become a good soldier who bravely kills the enemy in battle!
