Chapter 741: The Battle Turned Upside Down

"Tell the brothers that as long as they block the official dogs for three days, they will all enter the old camp and the whole family will be able to eat enough. Retreater, slash! He waved the banner and ordered loudly.

Seeing the heralds going away, He shook his head and whispered to his henchmen: "These Henan soldiers are too bad, and they don't look like a queue. It's hard! ”

Although He Shaoqi led the carefully selected elite in the camp, these people were originally used as bandits at most to rob the aisle, and the two armies were outsiders on the battlefield. And because the time was too tight, He Shaoqi couldn't give them enough training at all, so in the face of the Runing Army, He Shaoqi didn't have much confidence, so he could only give a "heavy reward" to stimulate.

"General! The soldiers of the Wu butcher on the other side don't look as good as us? Maybe we have a chance, too. One of He's pro-soldiers comforted. Indeed, judging from the costumes, the soldiers and horses who broke into the camp and plundered many cities were still neatly dressed, but a large number of soldiers in the Runing army were ragged, and the weapons were not uniform, and they were more like a rabble than the soldiers and horses who broke into the camp.

"Don't take it lightly!" He Shaoqi immediately said, "We don't want to defeat Butcher Wu, we just need to be able to hold them back." So there must be no sorties. Let's defend it! At this time, He Shaoqi was still very careful.

"But didn't Mr. Niu say that this road is a bluff? Why do you see that their jiashi is about to attack? Another soldier asked.

"Just fight hard, what are you doing with so much?" He Shaoqi's heart was also very irritable, "Send a message to King Chuang again, saying that Butcher Wu's soldiers and horses are going to be real." ”

When He Shaoqi arranged the soldiers and horses of the camp here, he also hurriedly placed some wooden fences in front of the formation to protect them, and had already prepared the whole army for defense and interception.

But I thought that after the Runing army came here, they would at least camp on the spot, because it was close to dusk at this time, and it was not a good time to start a war. Unexpectedly, the Runing Army immediately launched its troops. It looks like it's going to be in battle right away.

This caught He Shaoqi a little off guard. He didn't have time to change the formation of his troops to attack at all, and he could only watch the Runing Army deploy its troops. As for why the Runing Army was in such a hurry to fight, He Shaoqi was also puzzled. The camp has been withdrawn from Kaifeng City? Then the Runing army will not be in such a hurry to relieve the siege. Did they really want to fight the camp? Could it be that the judgment of the Niu Junshi was wrong?

But looking at the untidy appearance of the Runing army, it was obvious that they were just improvising people, which made He Shaoqi inexplicable. If this is the case, then no matter the comparison of troops, equipment, and combat effectiveness, the camp will surpass the Runing Army on the opposite side. Is there a deception in it? Therefore, He Shaoqi still decided to remain unchanged in order to cope with all changes.

"Tell the person who rushed to the front. As long as they rush into the array of thieves and hold on, hold on until our Runing army sends troops. Then the official is in charge. All of them are treated according to the treatment of the Runing Army, and the whole family is also resettled according to the military family. If you retreat and flee, you will be killed in front of the battle! Yao Liang ordered loudly.

Yao Liang knew that his patchwork army had not carried out any running-in at all, so he looked at it from the perspective of the Runing Army. The combat effectiveness is absolutely miserable.

So Yao Liang knew that he was also an opportunity to charge. If you can break the camp on the opposite side in one go, it will be a good thing. If it can't be rushed. Then their own troops will lose confidence. There was no courage to continue fighting. Therefore, Yao Liang did not care about the tight time, he immediately deployed his troops and began to arrange the order of the charge.

At this time, the more than 2,000 horses of the Runing Army are definitely the most important combat force, so Yao Liang must use them carefully. They won't be caught up in a chaotic battle with heavy casualties.

Therefore, Yao Liang arranged his more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers in the front of the charge, allowing them to remove the obstacles in front of the camp and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers who broke into the camp. Then Yao Liang asked Fu Sheng to take the chariot as the lead, and led the Runing Army and the incorporated Chen Zhongzhi to follow up the charge. Fight for a single blow to crush the troops that broke into the camp. So at this time, those auxiliaries also became cannon fodder for the Runing Army. For this reason, Yao Liang did not hesitate to offer a "heavy reward".

"Onward!" The officers who had been sent by the Runing Army to command the auxiliaries shouted loudly. And under their leadership, the auxiliaries pressed the pace and moved forward steadily.

After not taking a few steps, the queue of auxiliary soldiers was already a mess. Although the officers of the Runing Army who were watching the battle in the back were shaking their heads, the troops had already set off, and they could only resign themselves to fate.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the array that broke into the camp, some of the auxiliaries couldn't hold back, some of them stopped, and some of them accelerated their pace, wanting to rush forward earlier.

"Stop! Stop it! ”

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the ranks were even more chaotic, the officers of the Runing Army, who commanded the auxiliaries, rushed into the ranks of the auxiliaries and struck those who caused the chaos with their scabbards. Some of the officers were finally annoyed by those who were still disobedient, and they drew their swords and corrected a few on the spot. And seeing the blood, the ranks of the auxiliaries also restored order a little.

But before he knew it, the array of auxiliaries had entered a distance of 100 paces from the camp. Under the loud orders of the officers who broke into the camp, batches of arrows, rows of guns and birds, and even a few cannons opened fire on the auxiliary array. And after a burst of firing, the front auxiliaries immediately fell in a large platoon.

And this shot immediately made the auxiliaries unable to hold down. Some of the auxiliaries turned around and fled, and were immediately killed by the Runing army, who was supervising the battle behind the array. As soon as they saw that there was no way out, those auxiliaries began to run desperately, thinking of rushing into the array of the camp earlier. In the past, the long-range firing of the Runing armament caused the peasant army to charge early, but it was reversed at this time.

In troubled times, this is the case, to survive, sometimes you have to be cannon fodder, it is haode to be able to seek stability in the past, and what you are afraid of is to be cannon fodder over and over again.

And the running auxiliaries had no way out. As soon as the person who rushed to the front stopped, he would be pushed down by the person behind him, and then he would die under the trampling. They could only brave the fire of bows and arrows and firearms.

The bows, arrows, and artillery that broke into the camp were firing continuously, and the auxiliaries were falling to the ground one by one. And those who are alive are running with the strength of milk, and they all want to run through this death zone sooner.

At last the auxiliaries lined up to the wooden fence in front of the camp, and they slashed with their swords and axes, pushed and pulled them with their hands, trying to open the opening and let themselves rush in smoothly.

However, spears continued to stick out from the gaps in the wooden fence, and the auxiliaries were stabbed down one after another, and the momentum of the auxiliaries' charge was also lost. This scene often appeared in the battles between the Runing Army and the peasant army.

Yao Liang, who was watching the battle, shook their heads one after another. They knew that the best way to do this was to transfer the gunners of the Runing Army to the auxiliary array, and use their firepower to disperse the soldiers behind the wooden fence. But in this case, it is impossible to call up those precious firecrackers. If the auxiliaries flinch or charge too hard, the musketeers will surely suffer heavy casualties. After all, there was no cooperation between the firecrackers and the auxiliaries!

"Commander Wu said how much time is there to arrive?" Seeing that the charge was unfavorable, Yao Liang asked loudly.

Before the battle, Yao Liang had already sent a fast horse to inform Shumo behind him, telling him to hurry to the front line to join the battle. If Yao Liang's charge fails, then a second plan will be adopted, and Yao Liang's Runing army will carry out a second charge together with Shumo. However, this time, the soldiers and horses of the Runing Army will be used to make sharp knives.

"The report says there are still twenty miles to go. Commander Wu had already ordered a hasty march, and they would definitely arrive before dark. A pro-soldier immediately replied.

"Before dark!" Yao Liang licked his chapped lips, "Then it's going to be a night fight." ”

Then Yao Liang immediately made up his mind, and he shouted: "Watch the front, and you must not let the charging people retreat." Find a way to get them to rush in. The first to open the mouth will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. At this time, Yao Liang also opened a big reward.

"It's not suitable!" Ye Mingui on the side persuaded. Because after the Runing Army made war exploits, it has always been rewarded with medals and ranks, and there is no precedent for rewarding with silver. Of course, raising the rank in the Runing Army is also equivalent to increasing the salary and salary.

"Who cares about all of this at this point? It was not clear for a short time. It's better to use real money. If it really doesn't work, then I'll pay out of pocket. Yao Liang made up his mind.

Under Yao Liang's order, the Runing army behind began to press forward, and they compressed the space for the auxiliaries to retreat, forcing them to only rush forward. So the auxiliaries rushed to the wooden fence in waves, and the corpses in front of the wooden fence also piled up higher and higher.

Eventually, a few auxiliaries climbed over the wooden fence on the corpses. "Rushed in!" In the shouting, the morale of the Runing army was greatly boosted, and a group of auxiliary soldiers crossed this opening one after another, and finally made sense of a vacant land here.

A few free-handed auxiliaries began to deal with the wooden fences. "Bang!" Finally, the wooden fence fell down a section. The follow-up auxiliaries also continued to enter through this opening, and began a life-and-death struggle with the soldiers who broke into the camp.

One, two, three ......, more and more gaps were opened, and the auxiliaries were swarming in, and the hand-to-hand combat in front suddenly reached a white-hot point.

"It's crazy! It's all crazy! With an expression of disbelief, He Shaoqi watched as the Runing Army rushed in desperately. This jiashi is also what He Shaoqi often sees, and it is often the desperate peasant army that is a frenzied charge in the face of the official army.

Today's battle is as if everything is reversed. The peasant army is like an official army, and the official army is like a peasant army, so the commanders on both sides of the war are a little uncomfortable.

However, Fu Sheng, who had been prepared for a long time, was in no mood to care about this. As soon as he saw the opportunity come, he immediately shouted, "It's our turn." Under the cover of the chariots, the soldiers of the Runing Army began to advance in a neat queue. (To be continued......)
