Xue Si sat on the ground, tilted his head and asked the fellow: "What are you shouting on the other side?" ”

"It's too far away to hear clearly." Fang Tang shook his head.

Xue Si asked again: "Why is there a commotion in front?" ”

Fang Tang said upsetly: "How do I know, after running for a day, I won't let people sleep." ”

"Still sleeping? I can't get up when I fall asleep. Xue Si said.

Fang Tang chirped: "Bah, bah, don't fucking say frustrating words." ”

The two met when they fled the famine, and they voted for Yuan Laosan's team together. At that time, Yuan Laosan's troops were called Da Yuan Ying, and Yuan Shizhong's troops were called Xiao Yuan Ying.

Yuan Laosan suffered a defeat, and they rebelled with Nezha.

This Nezha, not Bi Nezha, really didn't have the ability to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and he was destroyed by the officers and soldiers after only half a year of rebellion.

They went around and around, followed by the four thieves, and now they are under the command of Zhang Yigui.

Xue Siheng couldn't sleep, and said in a low voice: "Do you think you can win this battle?" ”

"It doesn't matter who wins or loses," Fang Tang said indifferently, "If you lose, run quickly, and if you win, hurry up, maybe you can cut off the head of a big official." ”

Xue Si said again: "Do you remember that Chen Xiucai?" ”

"Caught beheaded?" Fang Tang asked.

Xue Si nodded and said, "That's it." He said that everyone in the south could divide the land, and instead of farming for the landlords, they would all farm for their own families. Emperor Zhao was also very benevolent and righteous, did not have errands, and did not collect miscellaneous taxes. ”

Fang Tang laughed and said, "How can there be such a good thing in the world? That Chen Xiu is talking nonsense. ”

"What if it's true?" Xue Si looked longing and longing, and asked again, "Many villagers have no food to eat, and they all went to the south together, do you say they have been given land?" ”

Fang Tang said: "There is no good person in the field, the emperor, and the official. Can I give you a share of the field? Even if the fields are divided, there will be a great drought every year, and no grain can be grown. In this world, only fools farm! God doesn't have long eyes, and he can't grow food. God opened his eyes, and the food he grew was also robbed. If we don't rebel and don't serve as soldiers under General Zhang, I'm afraid we will starve to death for several years. ”

Xue Si sighed: "Alas, that's right. ”

Fang Tang advised: "Today's battle is very strange, it's so close at night, I'm afraid it will be able to start in the middle of the night." Fourth brother be vigilant, if any of us falls asleep, remember to wake up and run away. We are all dead living ghosts in the whole family, you take care of me, I take care of you. Don't give your life to anyone, our lives are our own. ”

"How can I sleep if I keep making noise?" Xue Si sighed.

……

Ouyang Shu was lying on the ground with a spear in her hand, to be precise, lying on the grass.

It's a bit cold at night, but luckily it's not the mosquito season, otherwise it would have been even more uncomfortable tonight.

Although the military order of the superiors was to take turns to rest, Ouyang Shu couldn't sleep at all. From time to time, dragoons shouted in the middle of the two armies, or the musketeers in front lit the arquebus.

As long as there is movement, the sound of orders from both sides will not stop.

Ouyang Shuzu was a big family in Anfu County, but by his generation, he had already become a tenant. His name was given by his parents at the expense of half a catty of rice, and he was given by Mr. Murajuku, who was born in the main sect.

Ouyang Shu's eldest brother also served as a soldier and died in battle with Sun Kewang.

In addition to the pension, the family also shared an extra acre of land. The mayor of the town also came to express his condolences in person, so that the eldest brother's two sons and one daughter can study well, and they can get extra points no matter what test they take in the future.

Ouyang Shu also got the legacy of her eldest brother, and gave priority to changing from the militia to the regular army.

He is not afraid of war, and the young people in the village are enthusiastically joining the army, and how many people are looking forward to fighting and making meritorious contributions. There are rewards for winning battles, even if you die in battle, you will have a pension, and you can also add points to your children's exams, anyway, you will not suffer a loss for Mr. Zhao to be a soldier.

Take off her armor during the day and march quickly, and in the evening she faces the enemy army pulling back and forth, although Ouyang Shu can't figure out what the situation is, she just listens to the order and does it.

He had listened to those orders countless times, and he usually trained to give orders every day.

If he doesn't listen to the command for a day, he will feel that something is missing.

In Zu Dashou's eyes, the advance and retreat of the battle seemed so incredible. But for a small soldier like Ouyang Shu, it was no different from usual training, they were used to it so early every day.

Afraid of being chased by enemy troops?

Hehe, the Datong army never thought that they would lose.

It doesn't matter if they are arrogant soldiers, anyway, they have long developed the momentum of giving up on me, and even the low-level soldiers don't take the Manchu Qing in their eyes.

Ouyang Shu turned over and took a look, and found that Shao Yang next to him was pillowing the back of his head with one arm, holding a weapon in the other hand, and lying on the ground with Erlang's legs crossed to look at the moon.

"Hiss!" Ouyang Shu pressed the tip of her tongue against her teeth, and a slight sound came out of her mouth.

Shao Yang turned his head to look over, and the two of them smirked silently.

Whispering was forbidden tonight, and none of them dared to speak, throwing weeds and leaves at each other to relieve their boredom.

I don't know how long later, the heralds in the team came short and whispered one by one: "Launch a surprise attack at dawn, rest quickly, and close your eyes and wait if you can't sleep." ”

It's strange to be able to sleep, and there is movement every three or five times.

……

Zu Dashou was always awake, but at dawn, he couldn't help but doze off.

The main reason is that the spirit is highly concentrated in the first half of the night, and he is always on guard against the arrival of the Datong army. Although they knew that the Datong army was using routines, it was a trick to tire the enemy, and it was also a way for them to get used to making trouble and give up vigilance.

But the move still has to be hit, at least Zu Dashou himself, yawning in the second half of the night.

Alas, when I'm old, my ability to stay up late has deteriorated.

Zu Dashou has the advantage of troops, and the composition of the troops is chaotic. He is unwilling to fight at night, it is very chaotic during the day, and it is even more chaotic at night, so why wait until dawn.

The morning light is faint, and the sky is slightly bright.

"Woooooooooooo

Suddenly the horn sounded, and Zu Dashou woke up instantly, but it was the Datong army that had already lit the fire rope and was preparing for the whole army to attack.

Xue Si and Fang Tang, who chatted last night, finally fell asleep in the second half of the night.

Hearing the trumpets and the shouts of the superiors, they stood up with their sleepy eyes rubbed and forced to line up to meet the attack of the Datong army.

"Ha ......"

Xue Si covered his mouth and yawned, his mind confused.

Fang Tang looked at the sky and muttered, "It's still bright on this day, what's the worry on the other side?" ”

Zu Dashou's military order was passed down for a long time, and the Datong army began to jog forward, and the formation on his side was still not set.

Many thieves who took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty couldn't even understand the flag order, nor could they understand the order!

In desperation, only the most primitive method can be used.

Zu Dashou sent heralds, rode horses to inform the generals, and ordered the two wings to outflank. He has 70,000 or 80,000 people, and the Datong army only has more than 10,000, and he can't be outflanked without two wings.

"Don't kill the captives!"

"Crouch down and surrender!"

"Don't kill the captives!"

"Crouch down and surrender!"

More than 10,000 soldiers shouted in unison.

At first, I shouted a little chaotically, but after shouting a few more times, the more I shouted, the more rhythmic I became, and I even shouted while running with steps.

Xue Si's position was on the far right, and he didn't hear the Datong Army shouting clearly last night, so he said in a daze: "Is it possible to survive by squatting?" ”

"It should be," Fang Tang reminded, "if the momentum is not good, squat, survival is important." ”

Ouyang Shu didn't think about life or death, he held a spear in his hand and trotted and shouted. The more you shout, the more you have momentum, the more you shout, the more confident you are, and you don't take the tens of thousands of enemies on the opposite side to heart at all.

The two wings were still outflanking, moving, and the formation was extremely chaotic.

The Datong army rushed directly over, and after approaching, they ran faster and faster. Zu Dashou's former army, hearing those shouts, remembered last night's shouting, and subconsciously wanted to throw away their weapons and squat.

Wu Sangui wanted to lead the cavalry to stop it, but the friendly forces were outflanking on both flanks, blocking his attack route in a chaotic manner, and the dragoons kept watching, and they would not let Wu Sangui enter the field easily.

"Order the two wings, immediately engage the enemy and fight, don't go around again!" Zu Dashou roared.

Afraid that the generals would not obey the order, the herald rode out again and ran directly close to pass the word with his mouth.

At this time, the infantry of the Datong Army had rushed dozens of steps away, and the troops on both wings hurriedly killed them, wanting to cooperate with the front army to carry out a three-sided attack.

In order to cooperate with the friendly charge, Cao Bianjiao and Wei Guoxiang ignored the nearby Wu Sangui cavalry and rode their horses to a distance of twenty or thirty paces on the opponent's two flanks.

The whole army dismounted, raised their guns and opened fire.

Xue Si first followed the chief around the side, and then charged inside. Zhang Yigui's unit where he belonged was all old thieves for more than two or three years, and they were extremely brave in fighting, so they could be called "elite".

But they really can't understand the flag order, and the formation is not neat, anyway, they will rush during the battle.

Rushing in a mess, Xue Si tried his best to get closer to Fang Tang. Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look, but I saw the enemy cavalry rushing closer and closer.

Then, dismount......

Fang Tang also saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "Fourth brother, you rush slowly, you have to save your strength to escape!" ”

"Bang bang bang!"

The person in front of him was shot and fell, Xue Si didn't have time to dodge, and tripped over the corpse and accidentally fell.

Before he could come back to his senses, Fang Tang dragged his clothes and shouted, "Run!" ”

The 2,500 horsemen on this side, a total of 2,000 thousand people fired, and at a distance of more than twenty paces, they instantly knocked down a large area.

Xue Si stood up and found that the friendly troops around him had been killed and wounded countless times, and he didn't know how many had died, anyway, there were still many screams and wails that were wounded but not dead.

Xue Si was so frightened that he was scattered, and when he saw the enemy riding on his horse and chasing after him, he immediately turned around and fled.

"Kill!"

Cao Bianjiao held a waist knife in his hand and led his troops to rush towards the rout, leaving only 500 horsemen to block Wu Sangui who was rushing with him.

"Run, run!" Fang Tang shouted.

Xue Si said with a crying voice: "I'm running, I'm running!" ”

Under the impact of this rout, there were cavalry behind them, and another army on the flank also collapsed. In an instant, it caused a chain reaction, and the flank army was completely defeated, and some people even remembered to shout slogans, and actually knelt down and surrendered in the face of cavalry pursuit.

Wu Sangui ignored the dragoons, he finally seized the opportunity and killed the charging Datong pawns, and they were rushing from behind the Datong army!

"Brother, fight or run?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"Where can I escape?"

Jiang Hao pulled his bow and arrows: "Fight!" ”

They followed behind the Great Synchronous Pawn and were responsible for blocking the impact of Wu Sangui's cavalry on the foot soldiers.

Of course, the Jiang brothers were not alone, and the dragoons on both wings each had five hundred left, and they had been waiting there without letting go.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Woohoo!"

There were 500 dragoons on each side to release their guns, and more than 400 Jiang brothers to shoot arrows from the front. Then, all of them took up their weapons and charged towards Wu Sangui's 4,000 cavalry - after being shot by arrows, there were only four thousand left.

There were only 1,500 horsemen on three sides, and the dragoons pulled their hips in close combat, but they rushed at the enemy twice their size without hesitation.

With only one face, Jiang Xuan was beheaded under the horse, and Wu Sangui even beheaded two people alone.

Thousands of cavalry fought in close combat like this, and the scene was extremely tragic, and the dragoons fell more than 200 people one after another because of inferior equipment.

Just when Wu Sangui's cavalry had an absolute advantage in the cavalry battle, the cavalry of those miscellaneous troops suddenly sought an opportunity to flee the battlefield with their cavalry. They fled even if they won the battle, because on the friendly side, all the foot soldiers on both wings broke and fled, and fled back to attack the front army.

"Woooooooooooo

"Woohoo!"

The infantry of the Datong Army was in a large array, and all departments frantically waved the order flag, and the bronze whistle and horn also sounded. They shifted in formation during the charge, the melee men running to the sides, and the muskeons in the middle were left unsupported.

Facing the arrows of Zu Dashou's former army, the Datong fire soldiers paid hundreds of casualties, rushing all the way to within 20 steps.

"Bang bang bang!"

The fire bolt struck three times, and the enemy in front of him fell like wheat.

"Get on the bayonet!"

"Stormtroopers!"

"Doodoo Dot ......"

Zu Dashou didn't even have time to mobilize the reserves of the Chinese army, and the front army and both wings all collapsed. Even if he changed into his own elite, he couldn't stop it, more than 7,000 fire guns hit in three stages, and after the guns were released, they all charged with bayonets.

Who can withstand this?

Moreover, the two wings were the first to break and flee, and the front army was already crumbling.

In the face of the charge of the infantry of the Datong army, tens of thousands of people in Zu Dashou's front army did not escape. They threw away their weapons, some knelt, some lay down, some squatted, and seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

Some of the missionaries stopped and mobilized the enemy generals who had surrendered: "Take up arms and charge with the army!" ”

I am not afraid that these generals will defect again, because they have long lost their organization.

The generals who surrendered did not dare to fight a tough battle, but they were good at fighting with the wind. So they picked up their weapons and rushed with the Datong army, and the Datong army instantly "increased" tens of thousands of troops.

Cao Bianjiao and Wei Guoxiang also stopped chasing and killing the defeated soldiers, and went back with the cavalry to fight Wu Sangui.

At the moment when the front army collapsed, Wu Sangui also slipped away. The enemy army is a bunch of madmen who don't want to die, and he doesn't want to fight such madmen.

Zu Dashou's Chinese army had no fighting spirit in the face of the rushing enemy and the rout, and turned around and fled before they could meet the enemy.

Zu Dashou had nothing to do, mixed in the rout, and fled on horseback with skillful movements.

Wu Sangui also ran fast, and no one chased him. Because there are still many cavalrymen who surrendered to the Manchu Qing and are fighting with the dragoons, Cao Bianjiao and Wei Guoxiang must deal with these guys first.

On the land of the Central Plains, in the soft morning light, tens of thousands of people moved like ants.

Wu Sangui fled all the way north, running to the vicinity of the confluence of the Shahe River and the Whirlpool, and there were only more than twenty Jiading cavalry left behind him. Afraid that the enemy would chase him, he took off all his armor and swam over with his horse.

Zu Dashou is also an escape, all the way to Taikang County.

After a short rest in the city, he fled to Zhongmu by boat, and he did not dare to defend the county seat of Taikang.

"Catch an enemy general!"

Jiang Xuan, whose younger brother died in battle, rode a horse to see who was caught.

He recognized this person at a glance and said, "This guy is Zu Zeqing, the fourth son of Zu Dashou!" ”

Zu Zeqing looked in pain, fell from his horse and broke his leg.
