"You know why you're still arranging like this?"

Xie Sanbin was so anxious that his voice changed.

"If I don't do this, the rebels won't take the bait."

Meng Qiaofang said: "If he doesn't take the bait, how can I defeat this rebel army and relieve the siege of Laizhou!" ”

"Uh......" Xie Sanbin was so blocked that he couldn't speak.

Soon, the rebel cavalry appeared in front of the large army.

The sound of horses' hooves stepping on the ground could even be faintly heard by Meng Qiaofang in the distance.

Just as it appeared, the artillery came into play!

"Fire!"

Bang bang bang...... Bang bang bang......

The artillery regiment fired a volley, and the flying solid bullets smashed into the heads of the rebels.

As long as it gets on the shell, remove the part of the body directly.

Some died directly on the spot.

"Put it again!"

After the reloading, with an order, another volley was fired.

These cannons were created by John Tang, and then cast in large quantities by skilled gunsmiths.

There are copper cannons with mature craftsmanship, and there are also iron cannons that have just been made.

Artillerymen skillfully operate these guns.

The sound of the bang bang made people tremble physically and mentally, and the horses neighed.

The cavalry regiment had already plugged the horses with earplugs to reduce the stimulation of sound, and was located on both sides of the infantry, motionless as a mountain.

The rebel cavalry still charged......

"Rifle ready ......" the company commander drew his knife and commanded the deputy company commander to beat the small drummer.

All those with bird guns and flintlock pistols stood in three rows, firing one volley after another.

The artillery in the rear did not stop either!

The rebels lacked armor and were shot at by a dense range of firearms, and many fell to the ground and died.

But they were clearly not willing to be defeated, and continued to charge, trying to get close to the soldiers who were armed with bird guns and flintlock muskets.

"Change formation!"

Meng Qiaofang looked at the battlefield with a monocular and immediately ordered.

The firearms hand immediately formed a formation automatically, leaving a few gaps like a knife opening.

Heavily armored pikemen emerged from the gaps, formed a formation in front, and attacked.

At the same time, the cavalry regiments charged in formation.

With the infantry in the middle, the cavalry outflanked from both flanks, intending to swallow the thousands of cavalry of the rebels in one gulp.

Different from the previous cavalry tactics, this time the cavalry used sabers that were easy to stab and pick, and each hundred people marched in a formation, like a wall.

When encountering rebels, it is only with stabbing and challenge techniques. One fell, and the cavalry behind hurriedly made up for it.

The rebels are accustomed to slashing and slashing, and they cannot parry this situation.

Because as soon as you raise your sword, the empty door in the middle is exposed, and you become the target of the stab.

The other surrounding cavalry also came close together, like a wall.

The artillerymen began to adjust the angle of fire and fired at the rear of the rebels, so as not to injure the soldiers in front.

Firearms bearers inspect firearms and prepare ammunition, ready to pursue.

Xie Sanbin, who climbed high and looked at it, was dumbfounded, this is too scary.

It turns out that the battle can still be fought like this.

Liu Zeqing, who was in the array, was even more miserable, "Damn, it's a big loss!" You can't fight anymore, so evacuate! ”

"Just evacuate like this, what should Laizhou do?" Li Jiucheng asked.

"We immediately took off the red turban and pretended to be reinforcements to deceive Laizhou Kaecheng." Liu Zeqing came up with an idea.

As a result, the rebels took off their red turbans and retreated in a panic.

"The cavalry and infantry rested, and the rattan and firearms men pursued forward for some distance before returning to the military formation."

Meng Qiaofang continued to call the shots.

The infantry separated, with the rattan men in front and the firearms in the back. Passing through them, they formed a line formation, and under the reminder of the drums, pursued the enemy.

Every fifteen meters or so, there is a stop for a round of shooting. Walk another fifteen meters and stop for the next round of shooting.

Always maintain a formation and replace the lack of firearms with concentrated fire.

Horses also have their own stamina, and a few charges will not work. The rebels had exhausted the stamina of their horses in front, and many rebels simply dismounted and fled in a hurry.

But under the attack of the dense rattan and musket formations, such as chopping melons and vegetables.

All rattan soldiers who pass by must stab the enemy's corpse to prevent death.

In the rear, cavalry and infantry rested, men carried away dead soldiers, and military doctors gave medicine to wounded soldiers.

At this time, Huo Weihua sent information: "General, the rebels took off their red turbans to defraud Laizhou City." ”

This information was sent to the General Staff Department in detail, and then carefully analyzed and screened by the General Staff Department before giving it to Meng Qiaofang.

It seems tedious, but it actually filters out some useless information.

At the same time, it also allowed Meng Qiaofang to concentrate more on directing the army to attack.

"Stop the pursuit!"

Meng Qiaofang ordered, "Gather the battle and rest, and the cavalry will attack and pursue the remnants of the enemy." ”

The cavalry, who had been dismounted to rest, mounted their horses one after another and formed a formation in pursuit.

They were not fast and were intended to keep the horse's feet strong in order to facilitate a round charge against the rebels.

It's like boiling soup, not in a hurry, organized, disciplined and disciplined.

Xie Sanbin was completely stunned.

"Master Xie, these 20,000 taels can belong to the Liaodong Army."

Meng Qiaofang said with a smile.

Xie Sanbin nodded dumbly.

In the city of Laizhou, the general on duty is Peng Youmo. He had seen the Liaodong Army, and when he saw that these troops claimed to be reinforcements, he immediately judged that they were rebels impersonating.

So, under his order, the Ming army in the city fired a firearm.

Liu Zeqing's rebels were defeated, and Chen, one of the four major soldiers, was also killed here.

"Old Chen ......" Liu Zeqing showed a trace of sadness.

Soon, a piece of news came, and he couldn't even care about being sad.

"Marshal, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army is coming."

After getting the news, Liu Zeqing raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw rows of Liaodong cavalry coming in unison.

The speed does not seem to be fast, but it is actually conserving the strength of the feet, preparing to charge them.

"Don't fight, withdraw!"

Liu Zeqing immediately decided: "Withdraw to Dengzhou, and then discuss the next step." ”

Commanding the cavalry regiment to attack was the Mongol Chataiji.

Don't look at the name with "Taiji" to think that Chataiji's status is very high, in fact, before he defected to the Liaodong Army, he was just an ordinary herdsman.

Because of the appreciation of Yang Chengying and Meng Qiaofang, he became the commander of this cavalry of more than 2,000 people.

Arriving at the city of Laizhou, seeing that the rebels were fleeing quickly, Cha Taiji asked people to report to the generals on duty in the city that he was the Liaodong Army; On the one hand, let the signal corpsmen ride horses and report their own situation.

As for whether it was a pursuit, Chataiji believed that the horses were fast to the limit and did not give the order to continue the pursuit.

After receiving the news from the front, Meng Qiaofang ordered the whole army to march and rest in Laizhou City.

Xie Sanbin also followed into the city.

When Zhu Dadian heard the news, he was overjoyed, and the army led by Chen Hongfan rushed to Laizhou.

As soon as they arrived, they saw the little eunuch sent by Gao Qiqian.

"What? Twenty thousand taels! Zhu Dadian was taken aback.

"This is what Xie Xun promised, and he will reward 20,000 yuan if he relieves the siege of Laizhou."

The little eunuch looked indifferent: "What's the matter?" Governor Zhu wanted to repay the debt. ”

"No, no." Zhu Dadian didn't dare to offend the little eunuch, "That, let me ask clearly and then offer the silver taels." ”

"Okay." The little eunuch was gone.

Leaving a depressed Zhu Dadian.
