Normally, more than 1,000 rebels have formed a complete array, and there are shields at the front to resist the fire, and it is very difficult for the other side to break through, even with the same strength. And Zhang Huangyan's Praetorian Guards were more than 100 people, less than one-tenth of the number of rebels in the array, and with such a huge disparity in strength, it stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible to defeat the rebels.

And the rebels who had just been defeated had already reorganized their arrays behind the formation, and the rebels besieging the city had also stopped attacking the city, and would soon return to help, as long as Niu Yonggui could hold on for a moment and a half, what was waiting for Zhang Huangyan was only defeat.

At least in Niu Yonggui's opinion, he has absolutely no reason for defeat. Not only will they not be defeated, but they will get a God-given opportunity to capture the city, as long as they encircle and annihilate these more than 100 Praetorian Guards, only the tenants in Tong'an Town and other places will be left in the city, and those gentry who surrender to the Praetorian Guards will be terrified and will never dare to resist again.

However, who knew that the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard had so many grenades, more than 100 grenades fell into the rebel array one after another, exploded, and almost completely covered the entire rebel array, although the power of a single grenade was not too great, but the number was so large that it was enough to blow up the entire rebel army column.

It was just a round of explosions, and more than 1,000 rebels were killed and wounded. Zhang Huangyan took the opportunity to lead his troops to rush forward, holding a spear and stabbing at the frightened rebel soldiers, how could the remaining rebel soldiers not be afraid? At such a time, who would dare to resist?

"The officers and soldiers will lead the thunder!"

"Defeated, run!"

One by one, the rebel soldiers wept and could not care about anything else, and fled one after another.

And their escape also made the first wave of routs who had just bypassed their formation no longer dare to organize the queue, and they joined the escape queue one after another.

"It's just defeated...... Niu Yonggui was lucky, he was not killed by the grenade or injured, but he was blown up and lost his soul, and he couldn't believe the reality in front of him at all. More than 2,000 troops, in just two rounds, were completely defeated by more than 100 Praetorian Guards, how could he believe this fact?

"General Niu, the Praetorian Guards are here, let's run." Niu Yonggui's personal soldiers were blown up, and they had long ignored him. There was Ma Hou, who was also lucky, left, and he was not injured, seeing Niu Yonggui's depressed appearance, he hurriedly pulled his sleeve and shouted.

"Run, oh, run!" Niu Yonggui finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly fled with Ma Hou, and ran back to take off the armor on his body. If you wear it too heavy, you won't be able to run fast if you don't take it off.

I have to say here that Jiangxi is a place with many mountains and rivers, and there is very little flat land, so there is no cavalry at all, even a general like Niu Yonggui has no horses, in fact, Niu Yonggui himself does not know how to ride a horse. On weekdays, most of the marches are by boat, and if the road is smooth, it is on foot. Although there is a river between Xincheng County and Fucheng, but the river is too small to carry a big boat, and the meeting is only sixty miles, Niu Yonggui walked to Xincheng County this time, and he could only walk when he escaped.

Seeing the defeat of the rebels, Zhang Huangyan led people to chase and kill for more than a mile and stopped.

"General, why don't you chase it?" The subordinate asked Zheng Eun, the general manager.

"There are rebels in the back, what's the use of chasing only the ones in front?" Zhang Huangyan pointed to the rear and said.

In their rear, there were more than two thousand rebels, but they were the rebels in charge of the siege.

Because Niu Yonggui was defeated too quickly, these rebels who were besieging the city had not had time to gather their troops, and even some people were still on the ladder and did not have time to come down. You can't just leave these rebels alone and chase after the defeated rebels.

"General, the leader of the rebels is in front, or you divide me into a dozen people, and I will cut off his head!" Zheng En pointed ahead, and just half a mile away, Niu Yonggui and Ma Hou stumbled and ran, and the gorgeous armor on his body revealed his identity.

"Forget it, let's deal with these rebels under the city walls first." Zhang Huangyan thought for a while. There are not many people in the first place, and there is no need to continue to divide the troops.

"General, if the leader of the rebel army is allowed to escape, he will inevitably gather the rout, and soon be able to organize thousands of troops, which will cause us great trouble. On the contrary, if he is slaughtered, the rebels will no longer be able to resist without a leader, and we may be able to take the opportunity to take the city. Jung Eun strongly advised.

"This ......" Zhang Huangyan thought for a while, and felt that what Zheng En said made sense, so he said: "Okay, I'll give you twenty people, and you took the thief's head for me." ”

"Order!" Zheng En happily led his troops and continued to pursue the fleeing rebels.

"Bang bang." Zheng En's soldiers did not chase fast, and as they chased, they set fire guns and shot the backward rebels to death one by one.

The explosion of the "boom" grenade sounded, blowing up the rout soldiers who were trying to gather resistance.

Most of the routs had no idea how many of them were chasing them, and they tried desperately to escape, so they threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees when they couldn't run.

For these defeated soldiers who surrendered, Zheng En just ordered them to stay where they were, waiting to be absorbed, and then continued to chase regardless of the forward, watching the fleeing Niu Yonggui chase all the way. As for whether these routs will stay here honestly, Zheng En doesn't care at all, he only has the fleeing thief generals in his eyes.

Niu Yonggui was out of breath when he ran, but the sound of fire still sounded from time to time behind him, and he had to continue running.

I have to say that this guy has always been pampered, and his body has long been hollowed out, he is called a general, and his physical strength is not as good as that of ordinary soldiers, but fortunately, Zheng En has to deal with those backward routs, otherwise he would have been caught up.

"General Niu, you quickly throw down the knife, it's too heavy to affect the speed." Ma Hou did not abandon Niu Yonggui and always followed him. The main reason is that Mahou has nowhere to go now, and the Inspection Department does not dare to go back, and offends the Praetorian Guards, so he has to follow the rebels all the way to the dark. Seeing that Niu Yonggui was still holding a knife, he had to be reminded.

"Ah, good!" Niu Yonggui was as good as a stream, and hurriedly threw down the long knife that affected his speed.

"General Niu, why don't you take off your armor too." Mahou continued.

"Okay, take it off!" Niu Yonggui took off his armor while running. Sure enough, without the armor and weapons, his steps were much easier, and his escape speed increased sharply.

While Zheng En was chasing down the routed army, Zhang Huangyan gathered his troops and prepared to deal with the rebels besieging the city.

Now he only has 80 people left in his hands, but the other side has more than 2,000 people, and the difference in strength between the two sides is very large. However, from Zhang Huangyan to ordinary Praetorian Guards, there was no fear at all. Because the battle just now told them that these rebels in front of them were just a rabble.

At this time, the rebels besieging the city finally gathered their ranks and lined up outside the city walls, and the ranks of more than 2,000 people lined up. However, they did not dare to attack the small force of the Praetorian Guard not far ahead.

Because just now, they saw with their own eyes how fierce this small team was, and the more than 2,000 main forces led by the main general Niu Yonggui were defeated by this small team in an instant. And the remaining rebel army is not much more than the team led by Niu Yonggui, can it be the opponent of this Praetorian Guard?

"Don't be afraid, there are only a few dozen of them, as long as we rush over, we will pile them to death!" Among the rebels, several officers tried their best to boost their morale, but their morale did not increase in the slightest. The entire team of more than 2,000 people was filled with fear.

"They seem to be able to ..... the law"

"Yes, I just saw that as soon as these Janissaries raised their hands, there was a thunderous roar, and our people were blown up."

"No wonder the Yuan Pavilion Department Nanjing will be killed and defeated, there are only a few dozen people who are so powerful, and there are tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards in Nanjing."

In the ranks of the rebels, the soldiers whispered, and all of them showed fear on their faces.

They are all shallow, they have never seen or heard of grenades, and the grenades thrown by the Praetorian Guards just now were treated as Lei Fa by them, and they were very frightened one by one, for fear that the Praetorian Guards in front of them would also summon Lei Fa to deal with them.

"It's not Leifa, it should be something like ten thousand enemies!" A rebel officer shouted. I have to say that there are still knowledgeable people in the rebels, especially those officers, most of whom are from hereditary military families and have heard of such weapons as the 10,000-strong enemy. However, 10,000 enemies have always been used to defend cities, and the Janissaries threw out much smaller than the 10,000 enemies defending cities.

However, it is not to say that it is okay, but the rebel soldiers are even more scared.

"Ten thousand enemies, obediently, this is too powerful."

"Yes, there are only 2,000 of us, how can we defeat 10,000 enemies, I'm afraid everyone will be killed."

In the face of this panic, the remaining rebel officers were simply helpless. At present, the great enemy cannot allow them to slowly rein in the hearts of the army.

"What are these rebels doing?" Looking at the rebels who did not move in the distance and did not attack him, Zhang Huangyan was a little suspicious.

"Maybe they're frightened." Some of his subordinates laughed.

Zhang Huangyan thought about it and felt that there was really such a possibility. Since the rebels do not attack, they will take the initiative to attack. So Zhang Huangyan led a team of 80 people and slowly pressed towards the rebels.

Seeing the Praetorian Guards approaching, there was a commotion in the ranks of the rebels.

"Kill!" At this moment, the city gate burst open, and countless tenants rushed out with rudimentary weapons.

When Zhang Huangyan led his troops out of the city gate, all the gentry were not optimistic about him taking the initiative to attack out of the city. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. Zhang Huangyan only has 100 people, but the other party has as many as 5,000, even if there are 5,000 pigs there, you can't cut down 100 people before dark. Some gentry even suspected in their hearts that Zhang Huangyan was not going to attack the rebels, but to flee with his subordinates in the name of attacking the rebels, leaving their own people here as cannon fodder to resist the rebels.

However, the development of the plot next made all the gentry lose their teeth, no one could have imagined that Zhang Huangyan defeated the opponent's two-way army with more than 100 subordinates, and rushed straight to the enemy's Chinese army.

"This, such a weak army, I'm afraid it's not as good as a pig!"

"General Zhang is so brave, comparable to Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who took the rank of general in the million-strong army."

"Phew, what Zhang Fei? Zhang Fei is just a reckless man, General Zhang was born in a scholarly family, both civil and military, comparable to that Zhou Gongjin! ”

At the moment, the gentry praised Zhang Huangyan fiercely. It wasn't that they knelt and licked Zhang Huangyan, it was the combat effectiveness of Zhang Huangyan's subordinates that amazed them. Until now, they no longer dare to doubt Zhang Huangyan and the Praetorian Guard.

Zhang Huangyan only had 100 people, and he showed such a strong combat effectiveness, and the emperor had 200,000 Praetorian Guards, how could he be compared to the court of the Nanchang Prison State? At this moment, all the gentry knew that Jiangxi was about to change again, and the imperial court would soon recover the entire territory of Jiangxi.

At this moment, all the gentry felt fortunate that they had made the right choice at a critical moment. Now that they have chosen to follow Zhang Huangyan, it is equivalent to forming a good relationship with the Praetorian Guard, and when the Praetorian Guard completely recovers Jiangxi, how can they treat them badly? Even if the family's land can't be saved, there should be no problem with the business or something. And having formed a good relationship with the Praetorian Guard, their business should do better in the future.

"Ladies and gentlemen, General Zhang defeated the main force of the rebels, and now there are these siege troops left outside the city, why don't we open the city gate and kill it, and join forces with General Zhang to completely defeat these rebels?" Looking at the situation outside the city, Squire Lu said suddenly.

"Brother Lu is right, we should help General Zhang!" The extremely tall Squire Wang also reacted, and hurriedly followed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the rebels attacking the city outside the city have long lost their morale, even without them, Zhang Huangyan can defeat these rebels with only dozens of subordinates, and there is no danger at all when he goes out of the city, but he can make some contributions.

Soon, all the squires came to their senses and agreed to go out of the city to flank the rebels.

At this time, all the tenants on the city wall were also encouraged by the victory, and their timidity had long since disappeared.

So the gate opened, and the squires rushed out of the gate with their tenants, and began to line up outside the gate in a disorderly manner.

And the young and strong tenants went out of the city, which also made these rebels lose the last of their morale, and at this moment, even those officers and generals no longer had the heart to resist.

Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan asked people to come forward and shout, ordering these rebels to throw down their weapons and surrender.

All the rebels threw down their weapons and honestly surrendered.

The young tenants rushed up, picked up the rebels' weapons from the ground, and tied them up one by one with ropes.

"Congratulations to General Zhang."

"General Zhang broke through thousands of thieves with 100 people, and the famous generals of the ancient times are nothing more than that."

"After this battle, General Zhang's prestige will inevitably spread to the world, making all the rebels in the world feel terrified."

The gentry stepped forward one after another, desperately touting Zhang Huangyan.

For a while, Zhang Huangyan was also proud. secretly said in his heart, with this battle, he should be able to close the gap with Li Dingguo.

When he was ordered to reinforce Wuhu, Zhang Huangyan watched Li Dingguo defeat the strong enemy and made great contributions, so he was reused by the emperor. And because he has been leading the water division, he has no chance to make meritorious contributions, so he had to follow Li Yanzhi back to Fujian. And now, his record should be no worse than Li Dingguo!
