Responsible for garrisoning the north bank of the Yellow River was Tian Jianxiu's subordinate general Zhang Shijie.
He divided the foot soldiers into five hundred and built simple fortifications at a distance of one mile each.
Wang Hui was between the two enemy infantry at this time, and the nearest one had already killed him. It was not Zhang Shijie himself, it was an unknown officer who led the troops.
When these 500 enemy troops arrived, Wang Hui's side also had friendly troops arrive, two rafts, and a total of 15 Datong troops.
Fifteen people, five hundred, must be held!
Melee soldiers erect two rafts to block enemy bows and arrows. The musketeers put the barrel of their guns in the holes of the raft and fired first at the enemy.
Eight firearms, three hits.
The enemy rushed to about 10 meters, had already reloaded, and fired a second salvo, all eight rounds of ammunition were hit.
"Formation, bayonet!"
At this moment, a burst of gunfire was heard, and another sheepskin raft approached, and the Datong army on the raft was shooting towards the shore.
It's a pity that the current is too fast, and although he has rowed with all his might, he was still washed more than 20 meters downstream of Wang Hui before landing.
After going ashore, the eight soldiers immediately rushed in, and Wang Hui's side had already met the enemy.
The Yellow River is not flat, and it has also been washed out of layers of dirt. More than 400 enemy troops surrounded and jumped down from the ridge to fight, because they ran fast, they had no time to form a formation, and the leader and tail of the team were more than 30 meters long.
Four words, sparsely lala, like a gang fighting.
This can't blame the Dashun army for pulling their hips too much, and the elites were all taken to Hebei by Li Zicheng. There are only about 6,000 elite veterans left behind in Tongguan, and the rest are all recruits who have been trained for three months.
Six thousand elite guards Tongguan, more than enough!
Crossing?
Li Zicheng never thought that the Datong Army would dare to cross the river.
Because even if you cross the river, all of them will be washed away by the river, just like the situation in front of you. More than 10 people rushed to the beach and landed, and they dared to form a formation to resist 500 people, and there was no such army in the world.
"Kill!"
In the face of the siege of more than 400 people, Wang Hui did not stick to his position, but took the initiative to rush forward.
Taking advantage of the loose formation of the Dashun army, we had to hurry out. If you defend in place, the enemy forces will become more and more surrounded and dense.
So a heroic scene appeared, fifteen Datong armies countercharged towards more than 400 Dashun troops.
Wang Hui stabbed one person to death with a gun, and cooperated with friendly forces to kill another.
Fifteen Datong troops rushed forward, killing wherever they went, rushing several meters in a row, knocking down twelve enemy troops in front and back.
In the local battlefield, the status quo of fighting more and fighting less has been formed!
The Dashun army was obviously more numerous, but the people who were engaged in the battle head-on were so frightened by this momentum that they cowered, and some even took the initiative to dodge and dodge.
The Dashun officer who led the team shouted: "Formation, formation quickly!" ”
This guy thought that 500 would kill 15, and he would definitely be able to catch it, so he ordered to run at full speed. Some people ran fast, some people ran fast, the line was getting longer and longer, and it was getting more and more scattered, and then Wang Hui found an opportunity.
Under the order to form a formation, only more than 100 people near the officer began to line up very obediently, and those who were too far away did not know what the order was.
"Fuck it...... Kill! ”
A few more steps forward, one of the musketeers was heavily wounded and was stabbed in the side by the enemy.
The firecracker roared in pain, raised his bayonet, and stabbed the attacker to death. It's a pity that he was injured and couldn't rush with him anymore, and was soon surrounded and killed by the four Dashun troops.
Wang Hui saw from a distance that the enemy army was showing signs of formation, and immediately shouted: "The enemy will be over there, follow me to kill him!" ”
Fourteen people remained, led by Wang Hui, and rushed towards the most dense place of the enemy.
After rushing out a few steps, another Datong army fell to the ground, this time a pikeman fell.
After landing on the shore, the eight Datong friendly troops downstream also learned from Wang Hui and charged towards the enemy's flank.
There is only one exception.
Yang Zhi ran for a while, then stopped to aim, and he did not shoot in the river.
More than forty steps away, sixty meters away, Yang Zhi aimed at the enemy general who was gathering troops.
"Bang!"
The enemy general's personal soldiers were so frightened that the enemy general hurriedly shrank his head and hid in the crowd and never showed his face again.
"Crooked!"
Yang Zhi was very remorseful, and then reloaded at a speed far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.
The remaining seven Datong soldiers were killed from the flanks. The enemy troops on this side were even more scattered, and more than a dozen people were killed by them, and in the process of escaping, they took more than twenty others with them.
In fact, it's not a rout, these escaped Dashun soldiers want to return to their generals, and wait for the formation to be completed before killing again. They are scattered, there is no formation, there is no organization, and no matter how many people there are, it is difficult to cooperate with each other.
Yang Zhi poked the projectile with a stabbing strip, and looked up while stabbing it, but saw that the enemy general did not show his head at all.
When he saw the thirty or forty defeated soldiers, he immediately became anxious: "The enemy general is dead, the enemy general is dead!" ”
It's a pity that the battlefield is noisy, and Yang Zhi's voice is too small.
"To the right!"
The formation of the enemy troops in front had been initially formed, and more than 100 people were densely crowded. Wang Hui knew that it would be difficult to disperse, so he took the lead and rushed to the right, wanting to cooperate with the friendly forces that came downstream to meet him.
When turning, two more people were lost, and Wang Hui's team was only eleven people left.
Eleven in the west and seven in the east, a total of eighteen Datong troops, charged in opposite directions on both sides, and actually crushed more than 60 enemies among them.
At the cost, the Datong army lost two more people.
The Datong army is in one place, not counting Yang Zhi, there are only sixteen people left. And everyone was wounded, and they were so tired that they were panting when they stood on the shore.
The Dashun army also gradually finished forming a formation, lined up in a neat line, and slowly came towards Wang Hui.
"Bang!"
Yang Zhi fired a second shot and hit the enemy general's personal soldiers again.
"Why can't you hit again?" Yang Zhi was frustrated.
The nameless general of the Dashun army was so frightened that he completely shrank to the rear of the team.
The 500 Dashun troops stationed in the west also began to engage in battle, to besiege and kill the Datong army that had landed elsewhere. The situation there was very bad, and all eight soldiers of the Datong Army were killed after landing.
"General, here we are!"
Two more sheepskin rafts rowed in and landed twenty-three meters away. Fifteen soldiers came this time, and together, Wang Hui's army reached thirty-one.
Still didn't count Yang Zhi in it, this thing was far away alone, and he was squatting on the ground to reload.
After the enemy general suffered a loss, he did not dare to be careless, and approached little by little.
"Bang bang bang!"
On the way of the Dashun army, the Datong army fired another volley.
"Bang!"
Yang Zhi also shot again, he couldn't find the enemy general who was hiding, but one shot killed the enemy's team. The squad fell into a panic, causing the Dashun army to advance even more slowly.
The enemy general finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sent thirty soldiers, pointing in the direction of Yang Zhi and roaring: "Go and kill that guy!" ”
Yang Zhi did not panic and reloaded the ammunition.
On the frontal battlefield, this Dashun army was dominated by new recruits, and the number of archers was very small. After the salvo of the Datong army, more than 30 archers came out to shoot at Wang Hui.
When Wang Hui charged, he threw away all his shields, and there was a raft around him as a shield.
They could only cover the fatal parts and carry their bows and arrows with cotton armor.
The troops crossing the river are all wearing cotton armor, and if they fall into the river, they will definitely die!
Seeing that there were several rafts on the east side, Wang Hui shouted: "Run downstream!" ”
When the Datong army moved, a corpse was left on the ground, which had just been shot dead by the enemy.
When the enemy general saw Wang Hui running again, he was obviously a little hesitant, not knowing whether to continue to advance in formation, or order to catch up at full speed. What if I get separated again?
After some thought, the enemy general ordered the trot to pursue, and the whole army must not run too fast, and try to maintain its own formation.
The troops were successfully combined again, and Yang Zhi also returned to the team, with a strength of forty-six people.
"General, look!"
Wang Hui turned to look at the river, and saw hundreds of sheepskin rafts rowing towards him.
However, the Datong Army crossed the river in sections and kept observing the situation in a hot air balloon. Wang Hui's side was in the best situation, so the follow-up troops concentrated here to cross.
The nameless enemy general also saw it, and shouted in horror: "Kill it at full speed!" ”
"Reinforcements are coming, the world is the same!"
Wang Hui shouted excitedly.
The nameless enemy general didn't care about hiding, and pulled out his waist knife to lead the team to rush and kill.
Yang Zhi picked up the firearm again and took aim.
"Bang!"
The enemy general fell in response.
Wang Hui was stunned, then ecstatic, raised his spear and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, follow me to kill!" ”
Forty-six Datong troops slaughtered more than 400 enemy troops with momentum.
And the enemy army was a little overwhelmed at the moment when the general was killed. Some continued to rush over, some stopped blankly, and some ran away.
The two sides were already very close, and as the Datong army counter-charged, more than 400 enemy troops collapsed in an instant.
Sometimes, a little chance can settle the battle.
The most famous is the Red Army's forced crossing of the Dadu River.
The river was more than three hundred meters wide, the current was so fast, and the Red Army had only one boat. Eighteen warriors crossed the river to seize the position, and they had to use this boat to row over in two parts.
The enemy's machine-gun positions were under fierce fire, the Red Army had only three shells left, and the mortar mounts were broken.
Sharpshooter Zhao Zhangcheng stood up, holding the barrel with his left hand and measuring the distance with his right hand. Three shells, all hit, destroyed three machine-gun positions, and the eighteen warriors took the opportunity to land.
Without the only three shells left, where would the Red Army be able to cross the Dadu River?
At this moment, Tian Jianxiu's cavalry chased the Datong army to the downstream, and is currently rushing upstream.
Wang Hui here, the initial construction of the landing position.
Further upstream, there are also several sheepskin rafts that cross the river.
He Zhen looked at the battle on the other side from afar, and the defenders of Tongguan were killed and retreated, which strengthened his idea of defection.
When the sheepskin rafts landed, He Zhen immediately led five hundred people over. The soldiers and soldiers under his command all thought that he was going to fight, but this thing said: "The son of the Zhao family in Nanjing is benevolent and righteous, I heard that everyone can divide the land, no levy labor, no heavy taxes, do you want to live this kind of life?" ”
The soldiers were stunned.
Because He Zhen was not trusted, all the old troops were pulled away by Li Zicheng, and now the five hundred people are all recruits.
"Who wouldn't want to surrender?" He Zhen asked.
No one spoke.
Seeing that the soldiers still didn't react, He Zhen shouted: "Join the Datong Army, eat fragrant food, drink spicy food." If you are willing to surrender, just follow me! ”
He Zhen took the lead in walking towards the Datong army, and the soldiers looked left and right, and some people began to follow him, and finally all of them followed.
The Datong army on the shore was waiting for the battle, and He Zhen stepped forward alone and shouted: "Don't let go, don't let go, I'm willing to lead the troops to return to the Datong court!" ”
