Chapter 379: Rebellion before the battle
In the account of the Chinese army.
Qin Huaidao hesitated for a moment in the face of Niu Jinda's request to fight, but still said solemnly: "Your army left to guard the spare war horses, food and all kinds of supplies, there are too many things, it is inconvenient to carry, three thousand people are enough to hold here for a while, General Niu, General Ben entrusted the most important things to your army, may you trust?" ”
Niu Jinda naturally understood the importance of war horses, food and materials to the army, and also knew that the three thousand people were all Longwu Army, and if they really wanted to go over, they might not be able to do it, maybe it would add to the chaos, and it was most appropriate to stay, so he hugged his fists and said solemnly: "The last general understands, let the dog stay, if there is any mistake, there is no need for the general to speak, the old man cut off his head, and then cut himself under the general's banner, and will never break his word." ”
"Please rest assured, the general, I don't need my father to do it, I cut off my head myself." A sturdy man with a beard and foreign trade resembling Niu Jinda said.
"The two generals are serious, not to, but the materials left behind are related to the life and death of the army, and there are many ashes of brothers who died in battle, so there is no room for loss, please." Qin Huaidao said solemnly.
When Niu Jinda and the others heard that there were ashes of soldiers who died in battle, they were all moved.
Actions on the battlefield are uncertain, life and death are unpredictable, who cares about those who have died in battle? This rebel army instantly made everyone understand why there were only 20,000 or 30,000 people, but they could resist the rebels 100,000 and kill them head-on.
Soldiers are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of what happens after death, and now there are no worries, who is still afraid of death?
The military discussion was soon over, and the army moved and walked down the hill and out of the mountain.
An hour later.
Qin Huaidao led the army to the previous battlefield, Li Jiancheng's large army was still in the trapping position, and the imperial court rebellion army was still passive in place, after all, it was a 100,000 army, although there were Zheng clan and Cui clan should cooperate with each other, it was easy to fully grasp it, and it took enough time to digest.
If the army is rashly withdrawn, I don't know how many people will take the opportunity to escape, Li Jiancheng is not stupid, and of course he will not mobilize before he fully controls the army.
Qin Huaidao calculated this point, and even more accurately calculated that Li Jiancheng did not dare to start a full-scale war, because he was afraid of being stabbed in the back, so he only brought Fang Yiai, Li Yixie and the pro-army three people over, not afraid at all, and it was a big deal to withdraw.
The army went straight over, not hiding, and quickly attracted the attention of the scouts.
By the time the army arrived, the rebels had already waited solemnly, arrayed one by one, with swords in front and spearmen and archers behind, decent, with a somewhat strange momentum, less solemn and more suppressive.
Qin Huaidao stopped at a stone's throw away, carefully looked at the military formation in front of him, and the people in front of him looked like the government soldiers who had been requisitioned from all over the country, Li Jiancheng wanted everyone to fight, not only to be cannon fodder, but also to completely cut off everyone's way back, so he could only follow the rebellion to the end, fortunately, he was here to rebel, not to fight, otherwise he would really let it succeed.
There are a lot of government soldiers, behind the government soldiers are soldiers and horses of various ethnic groups, as well as the border army of Heicheng, all of which are the main army of Li Jiancheng's rebellion.
After observing for a while, Qin Huaidao didn't feel much fighting spirit, and it was right to think about it, the prince was arrested, and the soldiers already understood that they were teased and coerced, even if the officers all took refuge, but the soldiers were also flesh and blood, thoughts and emotions, they knew etiquette, no one was willing to rebel and become a thief, and no one was afraid of affecting their families.
If you are disgusted and resistant, you will naturally have no will to fight.
Qin Huaidao's heart was settled, and he looked at Niu Jinda next to him.
Niu Jinda nodded knowingly, urged the horse to step forward for a distance, and shouted loudly: "Old man Niu Jinda, the hussar general is benevolent and righteous, give everyone a chance to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and those who are not willing to be anti-thieves will come over immediately, the general is here to answer you, if you want to die, you are not afraid of affecting your family, and the old man did not say it." ”
The sound was rolling and travelling far away.
The rebel position suddenly became in turmoil, the soldiers looked at each other, their eyes were full of surprise, and they were eager to try, and those who knew each other even exchanged a few words in a low voice, and there was a chance to choose again, no one wanted to be a thief.
At this time, several generals who followed Niu Jinda also stepped forward, scattered to different positions, and shouted the same words loudly so that more people could hear them.
"The general is smart, I'm afraid it won't work if I'm late for a day, but now it's just right, a move hits the weakness of King Xi, and the morale of the rebels plummets, what should I do now?" Su Dingfang said in surprise.
"That's right, the army will definitely be controlled after a long time, but it hasn't been long since the incident, and he hasn't had time yet, general, why don't I lead people to rush up, maybe I can bring back a lot." Fang Yiai agreed.
Qin Huaidao smiled: "An anti-thief is an anti-thief, you can't get on the stage, don't rush to kill, take a look first." ”
"Okay, then let's see, be sure to let me go when you need to rush." Fang Yiai said.
Li Yixie rolled his eyes, this person is simply shameless in stealing merit.
Qin Huaidao did not stop it, the healthy competition of the generals was more conducive to the war, and he watched the rebels in front of him commotion, and shouted: "General Niu, tell them that our army is ready to rush into battle, and I don't want to die so much that I lose my weapons, so I squatted down with my head in my hands, and rushed over with my weapons after our army passed." ”
"Obey."
Niu Jinda agreed, and continued to shout: "Listen up, the hussar general is ready to send people to kill the thieves, sweep away the people who control you, don't want to be a thief, put down the weapons, squat down with your head in your hands, and wait for the general's soldiers and horses to pass, and quickly turn around with the weapons, there is only one chance." ”
Other generals also repeated Niu Jinda's words to let more people hear.
Soon, an army of archers came out of the Chinese army, stretched out their bows and arrows, and shot at Niu Jinda and others, Niu Jinda and others had to withdraw to their positions, Qin Huaidao saw this scene with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Fang Yiai, Li Yixie, you two lead people to kill a distance and then quickly kill back, don't rush too deep, fall in, tell the brothers to put down their weapons and not kill, this general is true to his word, give them a chance." ”
"Understood." The two solemnly agreed and quickly conveyed the battle order.
The soldiers listened to the order to attack and picked up their crossbows to prepare.
Soon, everything was ready, and two armies rushed up from different positions, like a huge arrow, rolling away with a terrifying fighting spirit.
When the rebels saw that they were really killed, they panicked, and the officers who were determined to rebel shouted loudly, for fear that the soldiers would defect, but the soldiers had their own choices, and they couldn't do anything if they were stared at, but it didn't mean that the army couldn't do anything after rushing up.
This weirdness made the rebellious officer even more panicked, who is not afraid of stabbing in the back?
But it can't just run back, you will be beheaded, and you will regret it immediately, and many clever people have moved their minds, looking left and right, not knowing what they are thinking.
The army of archers who rushed out of the Chinese army did not hesitate and shot one after another.
The soldiers picked up the shield to protect the vital point, desperately hit the horse and rushed forward, the crossbow lost the range shorter than the feather arrows, but the short is not much, after resisting a round of arrow rain, the distance of the war horse is shortened, the soldiers hang the shield on Ma'anshan, and the crossbow is a shot through, and instantly put down a piece of archers.
The archer panicked, and his movements slowed down.
But the crossbow is not the same as the bow, you need to take the arrow, pull the bow, and shoot the crossbow directly with a pull, the speed is very fast, and the opponent's panicked kung fu is two waves of crossbows missed, killing the archers The formation is chaotic, and they don't care about pulling the bow, they turn around and run, and the soldiers can output more calmly.
Suddenly, the crossbow was lost like a storm and flew towards the rebel archers.
The swordsmen and spearmen in front of them saw the army rushing over, and they didn't attack themselves, and they immediately believed the words of Niu Jinda and other generals, and they dropped their weapons one after another, and squatted down with their heads in their hands.
The soldiers had already received orders not to kill indiscriminately, and rushed forward on horseback, chasing down the archers along the air raids between men.
Seeing that the soldiers in front of the queue really didn't kill, they completely let go of their hearts, picked up the weapons on the ground and rushed forward, no one wanted to miss this opportunity to defect.
Qin Huaidao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, smiled, and with these government soldiers joining, the battle behind him was easy to fight, and said, "General Niu, they are handed over to you." ”
"Don't worry, General." Niu Jinda was overjoyed, and rushed up to meet him, pointing to the southeast and shouting, "Go over there and assemble, don't run around." ”
I don't know if it's really surrendered, I can't help but guard against it, in case someone cheats and surrenders, rushes up and kills the general, the fun will be great, Niu Jinda is experienced, and he will not make such a low-level mistake.
"Quick, go over there and assemble, don't run around, otherwise there will be no mercy!" Niu Jinda's generals also ran up to help maintain order.
The government soldiers are also soldiers, with high discipline and obedience, and they all obey the command and run.
Seeing countless people flocking away, Qin Huaidao was in a good mood, and looked up at the location of the Chinese army's big tent of the rebels in the distance, and the battle intent in his eyes surged.
