When Cao Bianjiao led the troops to break through the front line of the Liukou, in fact, the Liukou had already fallen into chaos, and their morale also fell wildly below.

But at this time, it was not that there was no chance of recovery, but before Gao Yingen could calm down, the sound of cannons on the mountain ridge in the right rear completely crushed the will of the rest of the rogue to fight.

Gao Yingen made the old and weak and the infantry team in the middle, and there were more than 100,000 people in this part, and they were already extremely dense when they were marching.

The artillery of the Ming army was condescending, and it didn't even need to be aimed at it, so it could hit every shot.

Every shot will be able to make a contribution, blowing up clouds of blood mist in the crowd.

The fear of death tormented everyone's nerves, and the fear of artillery caused the morale of the thieves to rock bottom, even among them, who needed to maintain order.

The hungry people are fleeing, the infantry is in rout, the horses are fleeing, and the elite horsemen are running faster.

There were countless people who trampled on each other and pushed and shoved the escapees, and the resulting casualties were even more than they were killed and injured by the Ming artillery.

Later, Zuo Liangyu led the family into the battle to cut off his waist, and a large number of banners also appeared on the mountains on both sides.

The continuous sound of guns and cannons made a group of thieves panic, and the entire battlefield was already a hot pot of porridge, and it was chaotic.

The defeat was like a mountain......

The defeat is decided, no matter how much you resist, it is only a mantis arm blocking the car, and some of the thieves who tried to resist did not even set off a wave.

Cao Bianjiao and Zuo Liangyu led the armor riders like two fire dragons with teeth and claws, and easily tore apart the array of thieves.

The great array of thieves was torn apart by it, and it rushed in all directions and shattered.

Cao Bianjiao and Zuo Liangyu chased and killed all the way.

The scattered fugitives panicked, and countless surrendered on their knees.

"Woo——————"

In the Chinese army, the horn sounded again, accompanied by the waving of the flag, and the military orders were also handed down one by one.

Chen Wang raised the order flag in his hand and shouted.

"The whole division keeps the marching army in line, one game is in the front, and the fourth game is postponed, and the pursuit is along the road!"

When the military order was issued, although everyone was a little flustered and still immersed in the previous fight, thanks to the relatively long training, they soon restored order under the constraints of their generals.

The first round is made up of the veterans, while the second, third, and fourth rounds are made up of the new recruits.

The veterans mostly hold swords and shields, have complete armor, are old in battle formations, and carry fewer firearms, mostly bows and arrows, which are the most suitable as the head of the division.

Originally, there was a mixture of firearms such as the Three-Eyed Gun and the Bird Gun, but after Chen Wang accepted the Right Division, he distributed most of the messy firearms to the Left Division, leaving only the Three-Eyed Gun.

Chen Wang didn't let him replace all the bird guns, the Datong soldiers were used to using the three-eyed guns, and they were extremely proficient in using them, and the combat power would be lowered if they were replaced with bird guns for a while.

Besides, there were no more bird guns for them to use, so Chen Wang let him keep the three-eyed guns, and even used some more silver for people to allocate a little.

It didn't take much time, and when Chen Wang gave the order and handed over the news, everyone had already turned into a marching column, even a point faster than Zuo Si.

"Woo————"

The various divisions and departments stepped on the official road one after another, accompanied by the sound of horns to complete the assembly.

In the Chinese army, the golden drum sounded again, Chen Wang did not slack off, and immediately issued an order to march, leading the personal cavalry behind him to press the edge of the formation and walk forward quickly.

After walking less than a mile, Chen Wang heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves behind him.

Chen Wang looked back, and just happened to see Cao Wenzhao's fiery red face, hundreds of cavalry followed him, and successively crossed the two divisions in the middle and left, as well as the queue of the left division in the left formation.

Chen Wang hurriedly reined in his horse and moved closer to the side, he knew that Cao Wenzhao was going to lead some of the remaining cavalry to pick up Cao Bianjiao and Zuo Liangyu in order to expand the results of the battle.

The affairs of the infantry team were handed over to Cao Dingjiao, who commanded the two battalions and ordered him to travel lightly and quickly, and then respond.

Pursuing all the way, the road was full of corpses, and along the side of the mountain were fleeing rogues.

Cao Dingjiao constantly sent cavalry to drive away those who surrendered on their knees, and gathered them together to take care of them.

These people have lost their courage, and their blades have long been discarded, and basically two or three people can drive hundreds or even thousands of people.

It's like a herdsman herding sheep and horses on the grassland......

As we went deeper, the number of escaped outcasts began to increase.

Traveling lightly and without baggage, even if they are wearing armor, most of the soldiers are much faster than ordinary rogues.

said that it was a rogue Kou, but in fact, it was a real Kou who were on the horse army and the fine cavalry.

Most of the rest of the people were coerced, or those who were forced to join the army because they could not survive, and these people were hungry and starved, and when they rarely had enough to eat, where did they have the strength to escape.

When they rushed all the way to the outside of the town, the Ming army was already out of breath.

Chen Wang's eyes were slightly condensed, his expression changed slightly, Rao is recalling the memories of his original body, and he had seen countless tragic situations, but looking at the scene in front of him, he was still difficult to calm down.

After all, his heart is made of flesh and blood, not some kind of hard heart.

The town is located at the confluence of two rivers, with both left and right banks, separated by the tributaries of two rivers.

Shaanxi has been in drought for many years, and the water of the two rivers used to dry up, but this year, the drought has eased a lot, and now the two rivers have gathered a lot of river water again.

Outside the town, you can only see a large number of cavalry of the Ming army who are constantly wandering, and it is not clear whether it is subordinate to Cao Bianjiao or the cavalry under Zuo Liangyu.

Wielding their sabers, they occasionally cut down a man and swam around the crowd to force him into the river.

At this time, the shores of the two rivers were already full of homeless people, and from time to time some people were squeezed into the water and struggled.

The river is so dense that it slows down the flow of water......

The military order from the higher authorities was issued, and the town was stationed on the spot, collecting prisoners, and cleaning the battlefield.

In fact, there is nothing to clean on the battlefield, where are the weapons and blades that can be seen, most of them are some tattered and useless,

There were only a small number of old bandits in the infantry team, and the slain horse soldiers had a lot of money on them, and some blades and armor that could be used.

It didn't take long to clean up the battlefield, and in addition to the two battalions of soldiers, Pizhou had previously recruited a lot of Xiangyong as auxiliaries in the army.

It is said that the auxiliary soldiers are actually the people, and after the end of the war, they were naturally sent to the battlefield to clean up.

These auxiliary soldiers recruited in the city are completely the kind of treacherous people that Qi Jiguang said in the book of war.

Even if there are military guards urging them, there are still many people who cheat and cheat.

If such a person enters the barracks, it will only affect the atmosphere in the army, and Chen Wang directly separated him from the recruits under his command, so as not to be affected.

During the battle, the recruits in the three rounds did not make any trouble, only two bird soldiers couldn't help but want to release the guns in advance, but the veterans who supervised the battle cut their necks and cut off their ears.

These two people are all the casualties under Chen Wang's command in this battle.

However, when cleaning up the battlefield, there were a few hiccups.

When the recruits, who had never seen the horrors of the battlefield, walked to the messy pile of corpses to clean up, many of them threw up.

The people who were killed by the bird's gun, the three-eyed gun and other fire guns are fine, at least there is a complete corpse, and the death is not terrifying.

But many of the people who were bombarded by the Francophone and the tiger squatting were beaten to tatters, and even inlaid with a lot of lead, which looked extremely infiltrating.

The most terrifying part of the death was the bandits who were hit by the cannonballs, and the bodies of those bandits were already in pieces.

There are also bandits who were killed by the cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao, and they also died very miserably, and some of them were no longer human beings who were trampled by war horses.

Many of the recruits vomited, they were terrified, and some of the more vulnerable people cried on the spot, but they had to clean up the battlefield because of the military order.

Chen Wang glanced at the ruined battlefield and looked at the recruits who were cleaning the battlefield, and his heart was cold.

Seeing the bloody and brutal battlefield is just one step for these recruits.

Cleaning the battlefield can also exercise their mental and willpower, and reduce their fear of the battlefield.

The first battle was such a result and experience, which was actually a good start.

There were not many casualties, but I had experience in the battle array, saw the cruelty of war, and saw the bloody battlefield.

In this era, only strict training and military discipline can ensure that an army has sufficient combat power, but it can also make its mental pressure extremely great.

And the bloody battlefield and the fear of death stimulate the nerves of the soldiers all the time and polish the will of the soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that there will be a camp roar in the ancient army, and the biggest reason for the camp roar is precisely because the spirit has been in a state of tension for a long time, and it is tense and unable to relax.

Now Chen Wang has no good way to solve this problem, so he can only try his best to restrain and give certain positive guidance.

Now he is just a general, there are thousands of generals above, there are also Chinese troops, and there are general soldiers on it, and only when he himself is in charge of a battalion, some things can be done.

In this battle, Cao Bianjiao slashed high and Yingen, and beheaded seven hundred and twenty levels.

Zuo Liangyu beheaded the head of eight hundred and ninety levels, and captured the banner of the King of Heaven, but did not kill the King of Heaven.

The prisoners were not counted, and 140,000 Pingliang thieves were defeated.

But Chen Wang did not have the joy of winning the war, because the Ming army should not have won this battle......

In history, at that time, Cao Wenzhao was dead, Pingliang Mansion Liukou advanced eastward, and most of the Ming army was defeated after several defeats, and the city of Pizhou fell.

In the end, it was Cao Bianjiao who led the remnants of the town to support, gathered the rout, and stopped the defeat, so that it temporarily stopped the trend of eastward advance.

But now because he saved Cao Wenzhao, the Ming army in this battle no longer has only two or three thousand, but has increased to more than five thousand.

Hong Chengchou authorized Cao Wenzhao to sit in Pizhou, and the Changping army led by Zuo Liangyu was also left under the city of Pizhou.

If you only read the resume and achievements, many people's first impression of Cao Wenzhao is that of a fierce general.

Cao Wenzhao has led the cavalry to fight with the enemy army many times, all of which have military exploits, dozens of large and small battles, and fewer defeats and more victories.

And after all, in this world, there are really few people who can "hold a spear and burst left and right, and a horse lingers in the crowd." ”

But in fact, Cao Wenzhao is quite aware of employing people and is good at strategy.

Although the current Gao Yingxiang is powerful, he is not the leader of the camps.

The alliance leader who has been leading the camps for a long time only has two real meanings, one is Wang Jiayin, and the other is the king of Zijin Liang for his own use.

Zijin Liang Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, and Zhang Xianzhong were all subordinate to Wang Jiayin.

Wang Jiayin used to be a border soldier, and then fled and returned to China.

In the first year of Chongzhen, due to the lack of food, he led the people to revolt in Fugu, defeated the officers and soldiers in a row, and became famous.

Even Wang Er, who initiated the first uprising in Baishui, led his troops from Chengcheng to make peace with him, and after Wang Er's army was defeated and executed, Wang Jiayin led the army to fight, and even won the battle.

So the king set up officials, and the formation was divided, and the prototype of the 36th battalion was established from that time.

Wang Jiayin even defeated the counterinsurgency officers and soldiers led by Hong Chengchou at that time, but in the end he was killed by Cao Wenzhao with a strategy, and his troops were also defeated by Cao Wenzhao.

Later, he entered Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, and won successive battles, with outstanding military achievements.

The imperial court made an exception and ordered all the generals in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces to be controlled by Cao Wenzhao.

And Cao Wenzhao also commanded his successive defeats of the Liukou battalions, and once suppressed the battalions and could not raise their heads.

Whether it is the direction of the march or the timing of the battle, it is just right.

Cao Wenzhao is also a template in terms of dealing with people.

All the generals of the armed forces inside and outside the customs have a good relationship with him, and even the civilian officials have a lot of relations with him.

Cao Wenzhao originally had an old grudge with Hong Chengchou, and was suppressed by Hong Chengchou.

Wu Fu, the governor of the imperial history, even wrote a letter to impeach Hong Chengchou because of his military exploits, and fought for Cao Wenzhao.

After the recovery, Cao Wenzhao rushed directly to Lingbao on horseback after receiving the edict to ask to see Hong Chengchou to show respect.

Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao released their suspicions because of this, and even patted his back to see off Cao Wenzhao, and then treated Cao Wenzhao as a cronie.

If Cao Wenzhao is a reckless man, then I am afraid that there are few people in this era who are not reckless.

The setting sun reddened the sky and dyed the sunset.

But no matter how bright the sunset is, it is no more red than the blood-stained land underground.

Chen Wang dragged the war horse and walked outside the town full of corpses.

The breeze caused by the flapping of his little butterfly's wings has gradually become larger and is beginning to change the whole world.

In the distance, the blood-colored sunset slowly set, and when the last glimmer of light disappeared, darkness completely enveloped the entire land......

History of the Ming Dynasty, Volume 156

"The edict of the text enters the customs, and the edict of the text is galloping to the Lingbao Chengchou."

"Cheng Chou...... He said: "This trip is also, the road is far back, the general is very hard, I gather the soldiers in the pass to wait for the general." 'Throw it on his back and send it, and Wen Zhao fell off his horse. ”

“…… Russian adjutant generals Ai Wannian and Liu Guozhen died in the battle. When Wen Zhao heard this, he scolded with a daze, and asked for help. ”

"Cheng Chou said: 'You can't kill this thief unless you are a general. Gu Wu's soldiers have been divided, and there is no one to deal with. The general line, I will turn from Jingyang to Chun into stamina. ’”

A brief summary of Cao Wenzhao's achievements.

Kill Wang Jiayin. (Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Wang Ziyong, etc. were subordinate to Wang Jiayin in their early years.) ）

Capture Du San, Yang Laochai, Kui Dahu, and subdue Hao Lin'an.

Array slashing rolling dragons, mixed kings, sweeping kings, red army friends, lone wolves, lighting lamps, etc.

After clearing Shaanxi and entering Shanxi, the imperial court ordered all the generals of Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces to accept Cao Wen's edict to control it.

Yu ordered his troops to defeat the seven battalions of Zijin Liang, King Chaoshi, Ji Guansuo, Eight Great Kings, Cao Cao, Chuang Collapse Tian, and Xinga Hali, and forced them to flee Shanxi.

Pursuit and interception, defeat Zijin Liang in a row, Lao Hui returned to Wuxiang, and chased the stars in Gaoze Mountain.
