Chapter 110: Making Dumplings
This time it really made Lin Yiyang give the material, the rebels really didn't take a few days, they couldn't bear the pressure, and chose to abandon the city and flee, and at this time, Yu Xiaotian had already led the soldiers and horses in advance, leaving an empty camp, secretly far out of sight, bypassing Pingdu City, running to the north of Pingdu City, and setting up an ambush here.
When the scouts who were monitoring the movements of Pingdu City sent out the news that the rebels had left the north gate, abandoned the city, and fled in the direction of Laizhou, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh three times on the spot, slapped Lin Yiyang on the shoulder twice, and almost slapped Lin Yiyang on the ground.
"What a Lin Yiyang, it's really amazing! Actually guessed the rebels so accurately, haha! This is what you're expecting! Not bad! This time, I will give you a credit, and after this battle, there will be a heavy reward! Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but get a little carried away, and praised Lin Yiyang for being resourceful.
Lin Yiyang shrank his shoulders, dodged the slap slapped by Yu Xiaotian, and said in a loud voice: "Lord! Calm, calm! Can't shoot anymore! If you shoot it again, the student's shoulder will be smashed by the master! This heavy reward will be waived, the lord is still pitiful for the student's thin body, don't shoot the student again in the future! ”
As a result, when everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.
Li Fujie saw the ambush around him, and his heart suddenly fell into the ice cellar, becoming wow cool, he knew that this time he had misjudged, and they didn't plan to attack the city at all, they simply gave him a false shot, so that he was afraid, and finally abandoned the city and fled by himself, and set up an ambush here.
This time he became the biggest fool, he didn't stay in a fortified city like Pingdu, but with his subordinates tired like dogs, he ran to the place outside the city, and crashed into the encirclement of the official army, and now he felt that he might be finished.
But he is still unwilling to be killed here by the official army, and now if he is caught by the official army, even if he does not die in front of the battle, if he is caught in the future, he will definitely be cut off his head, and he thinks that he is still young now, and he has a lot to do in the future, but he doesn't want to die here like this.
After thinking of this, he scolded his subordinates, quickly threw away the valuables on his body and on horseback, copied the guys in formation, and followed him to break out, as for those belongings, if they lost them, they lost them, as long as they could break out of the encirclement alive, then they would have a chance to rob them again in the future.
Those rebels were so frightened that they were already dizzy at this time, and in a panic, they hurriedly obeyed the order, threw all these belongings on their bodies on the ground, got up one after another, hurriedly copied the guys, and crowded together in a chaotic manner.
Li Fujie took the lead, led the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, and began to roar and rush towards the Fujian officers and soldiers who surrounded them, waving a horse lance in his hand, but he was also majestic and a bit of a general.
A group of soldiers of the Yu family army, indifferently watched the rebels rumbling over, the officers calmly gave an order, the pikemen came out of the line, squatted down collectively in front of the formation, and flattened the spears diagonally in the direction of the rebels' rushing, the tip of the spear was just pointed directly at the position of the rebels' horses' necks, as long as the rebels dared to step on the horses, they would immediately be stabbed to death in this dense gun forest.
The musketeers, calmly behind the pikemen, began to reload their ammunition, and then placed the loaded rifles with the butts facing down at their feet, ready to handle their guns at any time.
"Triple strike! Get ready! The officer silently calculated the distance between the enemy and them, and when the enemy army was close to the effective range of their Nanji-style rifles, Meng Fei finally replaced Yu Xiaotian and gave the battle order.
Platoons of musketeers stepped forward, raised their rifles one after another, and pointed the muzzles of the black holes at the rebels who rushed over on the opposite side.
After a while, I only heard a dense sound of fire ringing in the sky about ten miles north of Pingdu City.
The battle was short-lived, and the battle ended with only three volleys from each of the musketeers of a battalion tasked with stopping the rebel breakout.
The 1,200 rebel cavalry who rushed to the front, under the dense volley of muskets, the beaten people turned on their horses, and the rebel foot soldiers who came after were also cut to the ground like mowing grass, and they suddenly lost their command and fighting spirit.
At this time, the Yu family army on both wings had already begun to surround them, completely encircling these rebels in a small area, completely completing the encirclement like an iron bucket, and leaving no way for them to escape.
Under the loud shouting orders of the soldiers of the Yu family, these rebels who were lucky not to be killed had to drop the weapons in their hands one by one in a miserable panic, and then they were ordered to hold their heads, and the teams were taken away, and then they were searched by the Yu family's army, stripped of their clothes, and tied their wrists with ropes.
There were more than a thousand pig-like rebel prisoners on the battlefield, except for a very few people who were allowed to leave a pair of single pants on the lower half of their bodies, all the rest were naked, naked, swaying between the crotches of their trousers, each of them was so commotion that they didn't dare to raise their heads, one hand covered the crotch of their pants, trying to cover their vital points, trying to maintain a little dignity of being a human being at the end, and the other hand was tied with a rope and strung together, and under the custody of the family army, they slowly walked towards Pingdu City.
Don't look at these rebels in Pingdu City during this time, they are arrogant and don't know what their surnames are, they can kill whoever they want, and they can spoil their women if they want to spoil their women, but when they were stripped into pigs, they themselves found that they were nothing, and now they have been completely deprived of even the last bit of dignity by these Fujian officers and soldiers.
They can no longer be arrogant, they can only be like a bunch of lost dogs, being skewered and driven like ducks, moving slowly step by step, if anyone is slack, a leather whip will immediately be waved next to them, and they will be whipped heavily on their naked bodies, beating them like women, screaming, except for attracting the ridicule of those Fujian officers and soldiers next to them, they can do nothing.
It turned out to be a very difficult siege battle, so it turned into an ambush war, and it was easy to solve the Pingdu rebels, which is undoubtedly a pretty good result, even if the Yu family army has a strong foot combat ability, but when attacking a strong fortress like the city, even if the enemy army is very scum, it will definitely have to pay a considerable price.
But in the plain field warfare, the infantry battle formation of the current Yu family army can almost be said to be an invincible product, they have ultra-long-range (only for this era) firepower output ability, strong fire output density, reasonable infantry phalanx, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, just like a hedgehog carrying a musket and can move, when the enemy can not bite it, but can effectively kill and injure the enemy, no matter what tactics the rebels have, in front of the battle formation of the home army, there is nothing to do.
This kind of tactic, Yu Jiajun has been tested countless times in Fujian, no matter what kind of enemy, when encountering their infantry phalanx, in the end can only be blind, unless the enemy has a huge numerical advantage many times more than them, and each is not afraid of death, it is possible to use the tactics of crowds to block the Yu Jiajun is still a limited firepower output, it is estimated that only in this way can it be possible to defeat Yu Jiajun.
But people are not grass and trees, who can see death as home, even if it is a real fierce soldier, when he sees the people around him cut to the ground as if they were mowing grass, it is impossible not to have a feeling of fear, so this battle once again proved the huge advantage of the infantry phalanx of the Yujia army in the plain field battle, so that the soldiers who came to Denglai to fight this time are even more confident.
In this battle, the Yu family army annihilated nearly 2,000 rebels, almost no one escaped, from top to bottom, including the rebel general Li Fujie, a total of four or five hundred rebels were killed, and the rest all became prisoners of the Yu family's army, waiting for their fate, it depends on the decision of the imperial court.
Of course, before handing over these captives to Zhu Dadian for disposal, Yu Jiajun will also conduct a selection first, and select some of them who are indeed forcibly coerced into the gang by the rebels in order to survive, and have not done many things that have lost their conscience, and accept them as refugees, and transfer them back to the island of Taiwan.
As for the remaining rebel scum, Yu Xiaotian will not want them, so he will hand them over to Zhu Dadian and let Zhu Dadian have a headache.
And the gains in this battle are also quite good, these rebels have been doing evil in Pingdu for several months, these three or four months, these rebels, whether they are officials or soldiers, have privately accumulated a large number of valuable goods from top to bottom, this time they fled in a hurry, and brought the most valuable things with them, and after this battle, they were also given to Yu Jiajun, so that Yu Xiaotian made another profit.
War is like this, for the winning side, the harvest is the war dividend, and the losing side, in addition to the loss of goods, but also have to pay for their lives, there is no mercy on the battlefield, mercy for the enemy, is cruelty to oneself, this has long been thoroughly implemented in every army.
After the rebels fled in Pingdu City, they did not settle down, and the people of the county were first happy, and then they began to cry, and after crying, the inferior nature of human beings began to appear.
Among the surviving county citizens, there are really many despicable people, these people saw that after the rebels fled the county seat, these people quickly recovered from the excitement of the rest of their lives, and immediately realized that this was an opportunity, they had been robbed by the rebels before, and now the rebels have run away, and there are no officials in the city to preside over affairs, so Pingdu City has become anarchy for the time being.
