Chapter 307: Victory in the Battle of Chengdu
The ghost crying wolf howled again.
The rebels were really not afraid of death, and those in front fell, and those behind followed.
Stimulated by money, beauties, and promotions, move forward bravely.
"Boom! Boom!"
Another wave of toast soldiers fell, and some people behind them began to be frightened, and their steps were slow.
The triple hit passed, and the sound of the bird ceased.
"Whew! Oh! Whew!"
The general rebels were stunned, but the guards of the luxury family rushed forward with excited shouts, and at this time there were only 50 steps left from the Ming army's array.
Seeing that there were few people on the opposite side, for fear that they would fall behind and cut off the heads of the Ming army, one by one they were like hungry wolves seeing sheep and rushing forward.
"Boom! Boom!"
The roar of the firecrackers rang out again.
"Boom! Boom!"
The guns are still ringing, and the rebels are still rushing forward.
This time, the Ming army's three-eyed guns, this kind of gun has a faster pace, and there are many more rebels who have fallen than before.
Then came the crossbow arrows, half of the rebels were unarmored and half lightly armoured, and they could not stop the piercing of the crossbow arrows, and many were wounded.
The Ming army also had a lot of arrows inserted in his body, but the first few rows were all wearing two layers of armor, so they couldn't hurt their skin at all, and there were a few unlucky people who were shot in the face, so naturally they couldn't survive.
The rebels continued to charge on the corpses of their comrades, and when they were only twenty paces closer, the most elite guards of the luxury family began to rush forward with shouts.
In their opinion, firecrackers are often not good at hand-to-hand combat, and can kill as long as they rush forward.
But they were wrong.
The Ming army suddenly had a large number of spears standing up, and directly covered the firecrackers and retreated to the left and right.
The phalanx of spears did not look like a single soldier, but it became a large formation and directly stabbed any rebels who dared to step forward.
The rest of the rebels also had many crossbowmen, who did not necessarily rush forward, but could shoot at close range.
The right-wing Shennong army had many sword players, and at this time they used a shield wall to prevent the arrow from missing.
Although the luxury army fought with all its might, even so, the exchange ratio of melee combat was more than 1:10, and the long-range shots were crushed
Yu Chongming was shocked, hurriedly Mingjin withdrew his troops, and rearranged the battle plan, he didn't dare to let his descendants fight hand-to-hand again, but only dared to send people to shoot arrows from afar.
However, the extravagant soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers who were recruited had almost zero experience in dealing with heavily armored opponents, and it was ineffective to shoot arrows from afar, and a few thousand arrows could only hurt a few people.
The Ming army was pressing forward step by step, and the morale was high; The luxury army has been defeated and retreated, turning from offensive to defensive, and its morale has declined.
The Hao family army shot arrows for a while without success, making their arms sore, unable to shoot again, and the archers could only retreat.
After only one round of fighting, 2,000 Tusi soldiers of Extravagant Chongming died, and if he didn't withdraw, his main army would soon be finished.
Many miscellaneous soldiers who were dragged into the battlefield were also trying to eat mixed food, how could they be sent to death in vain?
Now I regret that I have the idea of being a dragon after listening to the bewitchment of the luxury family, and I have done bad things for more than half a month, and I can't find a chance to turn back.
Especially if you give your life in vain, it is better to atone for your sins on the battlefield. Speculators are inherently more clever, turning their initiative into passive resistance in order to connect with each other.
Taking advantage of the retreat of the rebels, the miscellaneous army had already assassinated some of the most heinous generals who had restrained them, and was ready to surrender safely.
The careful Zou Wenqi saw the intention of the miscellaneous army of the luxury family, and immediately reported it to Wang Hongyu, Wang Hongyu and Qin Liangyu also saw the clue, and immediately changed the attack to wander away, and no longer killed the miscellaneous army.

His motley army broke through the Ming front, and before he could react, 2,000 Ming troops appeared in front of the rebels.
In this way, there are only 6,000 rebels left.
Zhu Xieyuan, who was following Wang Hongyu's soldiers and horses, saw that the opportunity was coming, and passed the situation in the east of the city to Hou Liangzhu and Luo Xiangqian through the flag and the defenders on the south wall of the city.
Hou Liangzhu and others were always ready for battle, and at this time, they immediately gathered their soldiers and horses to wait at the place where luxury Chongming must pass in the south of the city.
The southern part of Chengdu is the place where the luxury family attacked the most fiercely, and it was also the place where the luxury Chongming himself was stationed at this time.
Yu Chongming originally thought that the south of the city had become his base, but what he didn't expect was that before he could lead the remnants of the army to the south of the city, there were two armies waiting to block his retreat.
Luo Xiangqian, who has been successfully rebelled by Zhu Xieyuan, was notified by Zhu Xieyuan when Wang Hongyu's reinforcements arrived this morning
Luo Xiangqian, let him defect directly when he received the flag.
The other is of course Hou Liangzhu, when Yu Chongming went to the east with 15,000 troops in the morning, he took the only 3,000 Ming troops left in Chengdu and the fighting force out of the south city.
At this time, Hou Liangzhu and Luo Xiangqian cut off the retreat of extravagant Chongming from behind.
Hu Chongming didn't know that Luo Xiangqian had defected, and hurriedly approached Luo Xiangqian's 10,000 army in the south, thinking that Luo Xiangqian was specially designed to receive him.
I didn't want to be attacked by Luo Xiangqian, and less than 6,000 rebels were surrounded.
The three armies flanked the rebels of Yu Chongming on three sides, and thousands of Chengdu militia specially intercepted and eliminated the Tusi rout.
Yu Chongming asked Luo Xiangqian why he betrayed him.
Luo Xiangqian replied to him very simply: "It's not that I betrayed you, but that you betrayed Daming. Whoever wants to destroy the great unification of the Ming Dynasty is my enemy!"
The three armies formed a corner and defeated the Tusi soldiers, the main force of the luxury family. 6000 rebels were eliminated 4000, another 2000 disarmed and surrendered.
Yu Chongming only led a few hundred cavalry to the southwest to escape the encirclement, and made a detour to join Hao Yin.
The 15,000 soldiers and horses assembled in the northeast of Chengdu surrendered. It turned out that this army only had 3,000 Tuntian soldiers who were extravagant and Chongming, and the generals and the Tuntian troops under them did not want to be rebels and affect their families.
After hearing that Wang Hongyu led the 2,000 Ming army to defeat the 20,000 luxury army, he surrendered after consulting with several Han generals.
The Ming army won a great victory, and Chengdu was relieved.
Although the siege was only for more than 20 days, it was a long and unforgettable day for everyone who was besieged in the city.
The benefactors who delivered them will receive their heartfelt love and praise from generation to generation.
Wang Hongyu's Dingyuan Marquis and the banners of the rebellious governors of Sichuan, Qianhu, and Guangping slowly moved towards the city in the midst of the people's welcome.
It was followed by the banners of the Shizhu Army, the Hunhe Army, the Shennong Army, Longchang and Nangao.
"They are the benefactors who defeated the rebels!"
"There aren't many of them, but they're all real heroes!"
"Governor Zhu and General Hou are also heroes! Look at the man between the two of them!"
"That's ...... Dingyuan Hou! He's so young! You're so handsome!"
"He, he, he...... He's looking at us!"
Wang Hongyu rode on the horses provided by the Chengdu side, and at this time he arrived at the place where the people on both sides had the most and cheered the most enthusiastically.
