Volume 5 Chapter 660 This battle belongs to Xue Rengui!
With Xue Rengui's order, the war was about to break out.
Da Qi Jin naturally will not sit still, although he doesn't know what confidence Xue Rengui has, but he has several times the enemy's military strength, Da Qi Jin is really not too worried, and immediately commanded the army to meet the enemy.
Of course, he himself will not charge into battle, not that he does not have that ability, as a Turk, he was born a warrior! It's just that Xue Rengui's divine archery technique really made him a little worried.
If something happens to him, it will surely shake the morale of the army.
At first, the soldiers were still quite disdainful.
The superiority in strength also boosted the morale of everyone, and they were not ignorant of Da Ming's routines, in order to deal with Da Ming's dense arrow rain, they even prepared shields early, of course, this also meant giving up a certain amount of long-range attack power.
However, compared with the crossbow after the iteration of the Ming Dynasty, although they have an advantage in numbers, they can't take advantage of long-range attacks, relatively speaking, in these hundred and ten steps, defense is more important.
On the other hand, the Changming army did not pick up the crossbow, but the vast majority of people held the gunpowder bullet in their hands, and a small number of guys such as Fang Yiai silently rushed to the front, bending their bows and arrows.
In just an instant, countless gunpowder bullets were thrown, and Fang Yiai's fellows quickly ignited the arrows, shooting the fiery arrows almost at the same time.
In this regard, the Changming Army has practiced countless times, and each team of 1,000 people can complete it independently.
Just a moment later, explosions were heard in the middle of the battlefield.
And where have the soldiers of the West Chamber, seen this? A series of explosions directly stunned them, and the unfortunate ones were directly overturned by the aftermath of the explosion.
As for the war horses under them, they were so startled by the sound of the explosion that they raised their hooves again and again, running around, and those soldiers couldn't control the war horses under them at all.
Seeing this scene, Xue Rengui immediately shouted: "Change the crossbow!" ”
By this time, the enemy had been scattered by their gunpowder shells, and it was time for the crossbows to show their might.
And with his order, countless arrows rained down in an instant, and for a while, the entire battlefield was covered by arrows.
Xue Rengui even went straight to the enemy with a horse lance, and when the other party had not reacted, he went straight into the enemy's hinterland.
Behind him, Fang Yiai and the others were not to be outdone, and after a round of dense arrow rain, everyone immediately changed into their own weapons and killed the enemy.
For the Fifth Division of the West Chamber, they have no strength to fight back in the face of such an army, of course, it is not that their own strength is not good, this has nothing to do with strength, the main thing is that they can't keep up with this rhythm.
Especially the new ordnance, they have never seen it at all, and before they fought with Niu Jinda, it was not the new ordnance of the Ming Dynasty, which was gunpowder bullets and crossbows, and they were directly beaten so that they had no temper at all.
In addition, the gunpowder bullet dispersed their camp, and at this time, Da Qi Jin looked at the battlefield with a lot of emotion, obviously having an advantage in troops, but the situation was not in their favor.
The army of tens of thousands of people was stunned and was scattered without fighting, which made him quite helpless.
"Da Qijin, this battle can't be fought......" beside him, a cronie sighed.
Seeing this situation, he lost his temper at all.
It's not that they can't do it, but they really haven't seen the new ordnance of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, it's not that they don't know anything about the Ming ordnance, it's just that the Ming ordnance they know is still from how many years ago?
Over the years, Daming has not used troops on a large scale, and their cognition of Daming's ordnance is still a few years ago, although Datang has also made gunpowder bombs before, but that thing has only heard of it after all, and has not personally experienced it, how deep can they know?
"......" Da Qijin looked at the defeated battlefield and was speechless for a long time.
He actually understood that the reason why the rout was so fast, in the final analysis, was that he did not have enough control over the rest of the divisions, and as soon as the explosion sounded, the first to rout were the people of each department, but on the battlefield, this kind of rout was the most demoralizing.
"Send someone to inform us that the soldiers who have lost their crossbows are rushing to help."
After a moment of silence, Da Qijin still said something.
He had actually understood that he was the one who caused all this, but he didn't regret it.
From his standpoint, he actually hopes that the strength of the Ming Dynasty can help him eliminate some of the remnants of the Western Chamber, and at the same time, he also wants the West Chamber's Fifth Division and the Ming Dynasty to tie the hatred deeper, which is similar to Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Goguryeo.
Use the enemy to eliminate dissidents, so as to achieve the role of centralized power.
It's just that he didn't expect that the army of the Ming Dynasty has developed to this point now, even if it is a little-known person, or even just the Changming army with a few troops, it has such an amazing record. I didn't expect that the soldiers of several departments were so unbearable, and they didn't even have the ability to lose both with Daming.
That's where he miscalculated.
And Xue Rengui, who was fighting wantonly among the enemy troops, actually realized this problem at this time, just now they only had a brief contact, and the army of the West Chambers collapsed, which inevitably made him think that it would not be a trap.
Leading troops into battle for the first time, especially when His Royal Highness was still staring at the rear, how could he not be guarded?
After a horse spear overturned an enemy soldier beside him and fell from his horse, Xue Rengui looked at Fang Yiai and the others not far away, hurriedly beat the horse and left, and cooperated with Fang Yiai and a few people to take down the enemy troops around them, and then said in a low voice: "Fang Yiai, Yao Da, a few of you quickly withdrew from the battlefield with your own soldiers, and secretly collected the gunpowder bullets that have not been used up in everyone's hands, remember, you must be secret." ”
"General, just let Li Jingren do it, they are over there, and it is convenient to quit." As soon as he heard that he was going to withdraw from the battlefield, Fang Yiai was a little unhappy, glanced at Li Jingren not far away, and immediately said something.
Of course, the reason why he said this is also because Li Jingren is indeed more convenient.
Exit from his position, faster.
When Xue Rengui heard this, his brows furrowed, and then he said, "Obey the order!" Also, General Ben said that you have to be secretive, and there may be a tough battle later. ”
For Fang Yi's love for these people, Xue Rengui loves and hates.
Love, naturally, is because the quality of their individual soldiers really doesn't have to be said, after all, they are from major families, and they still have the ability.
As for hate, it's even simpler, none of these guys have a simple identity, even if he, the chief general of the Changming Army, may not be able to suppress them sometimes.
To put it bluntly, it's all a bunch of thorns.
Of course, these guys don't dare to go too far, everyone is not blind, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Chengqian intends to cultivate Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui is indeed not comparable to them in terms of individual soldier quality, and they are also convinced when they should be convinced.
These guys are arrogant, but they are also really reasonable.
It's just that this is reasonable, so it's kind of interesting.
Yes, at that moment, Fang Yiai also nodded, although he was a little reluctant, he quietly retreated with the cooperation of Xue Rengui and others.
All of this is basically done without God knowing.
After all, the battle of tens of thousands of troops, quietly withdrawing a few hundred people, really can't cause much of a sensation.
And as soon as they left, Xue Rengui was also observing the surroundings while killing the enemy, he always felt that something was wrong, a little uneasy, and he didn't dare to be careless at all.
And in the distance, on top of a fast horse, there was also a scout with a telescope looking around, and there were more than a dozen people like him.
And each of them was equipped with seven or eight people, ready to deliver the news they found to Xue Rengui as quickly as possible.
I don't know how long it took, but one of them suddenly found the smoke and dust billowing in the west, and he was also startled at the moment, and hurriedly said to a few people around him: "Go and report to the general, the smoke and dust are billowing in the west, and the specific number of enemy troops is difficult to judge, but at least it is not less than 20,000 people." ”
20,000 people?
As soon as they heard this, several people around them were also stunned, and hurriedly beat their horses away.
The sudden appearance of 20,000 reinforcements on the battlefield of the enemy army can definitely determine the balance of victory.
And when the news reached Xue Rengui's ears, instead of being nervous and worried, Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief......
Yes, a sigh of relief.
The unknown is the most terrifying, once he knows the enemy's mind, Xue Rengui is actually not afraid of a battle.
What about an extra 20,000 reinforcements?
Kill is!
That's never a problem.
"Order Li Jingren to force the enemy army back, just don't chase after him." Xue Rengui immediately ordered, "Then let Cheng Chuliang and Uncle Sun Yu assemble, and ignore all the enemy troops who have fled far away......
"General, in this case, if we fall into the disadvantage or let them find an opportunity, I am afraid that they will come back and create problems for ourselves at that time, right?"
Xue Rengui shook his head and said, "Don't you understand?" Those who were defeated as soon as they came into contact were not the core of the crossbow lost at all, how could they work hard for the crossbow lost part.
To put it bluntly, it's just that the big man who lost his crossbow wants to use us to help him eradicate dissidents, and the people in all parts of the department also saw his mind and deliberately made a show.
At this time, if they see us fighting with the crossbow, these guys will probably watch from the wall.
Of course, if we fall into an absolute disadvantage, when we are powerless, they are also very likely to fall into the trap against us, and similarly, on the contrary, as long as we have a huge advantage, they may also abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”
In this regard, Xue Rengui still sees it very accurately.
He may have just been suspicious before, but from the time he learned that the West Chambers still had a grudge against the army, he had actually figured out the key to all this.
"Then I'll go and inform a few commanders."
When his subordinates heard this, they didn't say anything more, and he was still extremely convinced of Xue Rengui.
At the same time, Fang Yiai and Yao Da also took their cronies to collect unused gunpowder bullets on the battlefield.
After about half an hour's effort, Fang Yiai and Yao Da rushed back to the front line of the battlefield with a full load again.
When Xue Rengui saw that they were back, he hurriedly threw the enemy in his hand to others, and then said to them: "You all retreat to a distance of twenty paces, and 20,000 reinforcements will soon arrive after the crossbow is lost.
After all of this, it's up to you. ”
For them, Xue Rengui really didn't have any requirements.
But Xue Rengui will not miss a single sentence that should be said.
Of course, Xue Rengui actually arranged the arrangement early.
The key point is in the choice of the rest of the parts, although there are actually some adventures and gambling elements in doing so, but for him, it is actually the best arrangement.
At that time, even if they are defeated, they will at least be able to retreat, or even retreat with their whole body.
As soon as he heard this, Fang Yiai immediately became interested, 20,000 reinforcements, as long as he won 20,000 reinforcements, he really had face.
As Fang Yiai and others are ready to go, there are not many changes on the battlefield.
It's just that this is normal, and no one notices anything abnormal.
And just after a stick of incense, behind the princes of the West Chamber, a thick billowing smoke and dust attracted the attention of many people, and Da Qi Jin had already ordered the army a moment ago, and rushed to the battlefield without saying a word, just kill!
Fang Yiai had actually received the news a long time ago, and when he saw the smoke and dust, he had already made everyone ready.
Just when the two sides were harboring ghosts, an army of blood and energy was overwhelmingly killed.
Seeing this, Fang Yiai and the others had long been ready to take advantage of the situation, and even crossed the front line where the two armies were fighting.
A moment later, hundreds of gunpowder shells fell like raindrops, and the explosions tore apart like thunderbolts in the sky.
Immediately after, the more violent smoke and dust rose and circled like the fog of the early spring morning, and the neighing of countless war horses came, and there were even more unstoppable wails as if they were singing the last hymn for their lives.
Even, there are countless frightened war horses, running around uncontrollably, some running towards the enemy, and some running towards their own people.
But one thing that must be mentioned is that they really don't have a mess, at least, the formation is still there.
Seeing this scene, Da Qi Jin breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was his descendant, if it was like the previous ragtag army, but he was just able to break through the military formation, he really couldn't afford to lose that person.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui did not panic, but looked at the other parties.
Seeing that he couldn't see clearly, he took out his binoculars and looked farther away, only to see the soldiers who had been driven away before, one by one, like watching a play at this time, and they didn't even have the slightest intention of helping.
At that moment, Xue Rengui was also relieved, don't look at what he said was heroic and confident, but he knew that this kind of thing, once there was an accident, it was not something he could control.
"Soldiers, kill, today is the battle of fame of my Changming Army!"
