Chapter 532 The killing of prisoners is ominous

Liu Zeqing is dizzy!

I thought that I could take advantage of the terrain of the dense forest in Baimatang and ambush it.

Wait for the Liaodong army to come in, and then kill them by surprise and reverse the unfavorable situation in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the Liaodong Army came prepared, the soldiers on the periphery were heavily armoured, and the artillery and firearms behind were shooting unhurriedly.

His army lacked armor, and the artillery against the Liaodong Army could not be transported up the mountain, so he could only watch the Liaodong Army gain a firm foothold and calmly counterattack.

"Marshal, our army can't break through the Liaodong Army."

Wang Chengyin shouted: "Also, there is a Ming army coming towards us. ”

"I know!" Liu Zeqing rubbed his forehead, "Try another round, no matter what, it can't end like this." ”

Huang County is the gateway to Laizhou, and losing Huang County means that Laizhou is about to be invaded by soldiers.

When he thought of the many Hongyi cannons in the hands of the Liaodong Army, his scalp was numb.

The rebel offensive continues.

But whether it was the Liaodong Army on the front line, or Meng Qiaofang in the command position, they all felt that the rebels were already at the end of their power.

"The rebels are making their last desperate throes, and as long as they stop it, they will retreat."

Liu Zhilun has been to the front line several times, he has never eaten pork and seen a pig run, and he is half a general who understands military affairs.

Meng Qiaofang nodded and said, "That's right!" Pass my command, the whole army will resist, and the rebels will be defeated. ”

"If the whole army resists, the rebels will be defeated."

The signal soldier on horseback roared, and the flag bearer in the flag language conveyed this sentence in their own way.

The soldiers on the front line were not carried away by the blood, and they also heard this order. The rattan soldier held his shield against swords, spears and halberds, and only made a slashing motion.

And the range of action is not large, it doesn't matter if you kill the enemy or not, as long as you force back.

The pikemen behind him, skillfully stabbing the rebels through the gap.

One rattan soldier fell, several pikemen protected it, and one rattan soldier hurried to the front line.

However, this was rare, as the rebels' weapons could not penetrate thick armor.

More often than not, he wanted to hit the shield with his body, trying to tear a gap.

The direct confrontation of the body is far greater than the assassination.

The real kill, in the back.

"Reload...... Filling ...... Preparation...... Put! ”

Bang bang bang ......!

Under the command of the company commander holding the knife, the musketeers completed some movements in a nervous and orderly manner, and after hearing the sound of the drums, they fired another volley.

It doesn't matter if the projectile hits a tree or a person, there is only one word - fast!

In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to neatness, rather than pretending to shoot.

A more powerful weapon of destruction, gushing with rage.

Boom, boom, boom......!

The rebels were completely unstoppable.

"Marshal, something is wrong!"

A herald Pegasus came to report: "The Sichuan soldiers killed into the dense forest and rushed at our Chinese army." ”

Liu Zeqing frowned slightly, hesitating whether to withdraw the army.

"Marshal Du, the cavalry of our army was broken and scattered by the cavalry of Liaodong."

Wang Chengyin rode a horse and galloped, "Lao Li, who commanded the cavalry, was almost captured and had fled back to Huang County. ”

"Oops! Withdrawal ......"

Liu Zeqing had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat.

Even Huang County did not dare to defend it, and fled directly to Laizhou.

The last time I fought in the field with the Liaodong Army, I was beaten to the point that I lost my armor and abandoned my armor, and the combat effectiveness of the newly formed cavalry was far inferior to that of the old Liao soldiers.

Chataiji commanded the cavalry regiment, followed the cavalry tactics, and did not do the slightest useless work.

The rookie-level rebel cavalry couldn't resist it and was quickly routed and scattered.

Seeing the rebels fleeing, Chataiji was very disciplined and did not chase after him with red eyes.

Instead, he ordered to form a military formation and turn around to clear the periphery of the Liaodong Army.

Seeing that the whole army was annihilated, a rebel army laid down its arms and surrendered to the cavalry.

Chataiji hurriedly sent someone to tell Meng Qiaofang and asked him what to do.

"Killing prisoners is ominous, as long as the rebels are willing to lay down their arms and surrender, they must be protected."

Meng Qiaofang gave orders to all regiments and battalions, allowing the rebels to surrender, but they had to lay down their arms.

Hearing that the Liaodong Army was allowed to surrender, the rebels, under the leadership of their respective leaders, threw down their weapons and surrendered voluntarily.

The Sichuan soldiers who had already killed the red-eyed soldiers, as well as the Miyun soldiers who came with the Sichuan soldiers, etc., didn't care about these, and actually rushed to the rebels who had surrendered to the Liaodong Army.

"What are you doing!"

The company commander of the Liaodong Army, who was guarding the prisoners, ordered the soldiers to raise their shields while shouting loudly!

"These rebels are a scourge of the place, what are you going to keep for!"

There are Shandong soldiers shouting.

"If you want to kill people and go elsewhere, this is the Liaodong Army. Even if they are heinous, they will be judged and punished! ”

The company commander raised his command knife, and the infantry of the Liaodong Army immediately shouted.

finally forced back this Shandong army.

The rebel soldiers who were killed to the point of rolling heads, heard the news and ran to the Liaodong Army.

If you run slowly, you will be cut down, and if you run fast, you will enter the prisoner camp of the Liaodong Army.

The Ming army did not dare to pursue and kill again.

On the evening of 30 April, Gao Qiqian, Zhu Dadian, Xie Sanbin, and Shandong surveillance eunuch Lu Zhi entered Huang County.

After the war, the number of people was counted, and the Liaodong Army captured 8,000 rebel soldiers in one go, and 2,000 died in the attack on the Liaodong Army.

More than 3,000 others died in the ensuing killings, and the corpses were strewn all over the field.

In this way, Chen Hongfan and others felt very dissatisfied.

At the meeting that night, they accused Meng Qiaofang of harboring rebellion.

"Since ancient times, the killing of prisoners has been ominous!"

Meng Qiaofang retorted: "The rebels have already thrown down their weapons and surrendered, so we should allow them to surrender." ”

"I really can't imagine that General Meng is so pedantic, eight thousand rebels! It's only 2,000 less than your 10,000 Liaodong Army, in case of trouble, how to clean it up. ”

Chen Hongfan sneered.

"Oh, untrained soldiers are not worthy of being called soldiers, how about eight thousand, even eighty thousand is a lamb to the slaughter!"

Meng Qiaofang sneered: "I'm not like some people, I don't have the ability to deal with the rebels, and I have a lot of skills in hindsight." ”

"You ......" Chen Hongfan's face turned red with anger.

Deng Xi and other generals of the Ming army also looked very ugly.

Meng Qiaofang overturned a boatload of people with one sentence.

Gao Qiqian had no choice but to come forward: "It's already like this, and then it's sad and angry to argue." It is better to discuss the next step of the march, recover Dengzhou, and put down the rebellion. ”

"Please ask Gonggong Gao, Gonggong Lu and the two adults to set the following omission."

Chen Hongfan reacted the fastest and directly ignored Meng Qiaofang.

Because it was Meng Qiaofang who formulated the strategy before.

After discussion, Chen Hongfan led the Changping soldiers to surround the western wall of Dengzhou; Mu Wenshou led the Miyun soldiers to surround the east wall of Dengzhou.

As for the north wall, to the north is the sea.

Geng Zhongming's Perak battalion had already been stationed on Godcheng Island, blocking the rebels' retreat by sea.

From the time Meng Qiaofang arrived in Texas to the time he was stationed in Huang County. Geng Zhongming has successively repelled the former Denglai Naval Division that surrendered to the rebels several times, killing countless enemies.

Some also took the opportunity to break away from the rebels and surrendered to the Perak battalion.

According to their physical conditions, Geng Zhongming joined the sailors partly, and partly placed them on Daqin Island and other islands, waiting for Yang Shuai to dispose of them.

There is also a person who is waiting for Yang Shuai to put forward a handling opinion, which is Meng Qiaofang.

He captured 8,000 rebels, what to do with it, in fact, he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Geng Zhongming and Meng Qiaofang's letters were sent to Yang Chengying's desk one after the other.

Yang Chengying was still staying in Ningyuan at this time.
