Chapter 542: Battle of Dingzhou (5)
He Jin led 20,000 horsemen to start charging, and Ren Jirong's side was frantically gathering the rout, rectifying the troops and horses in the rear of the thief camp, and the general Liu Zongmin received the battle report from the front one after another, and his face became more and more ugly, and immediately ordered Ren Jirong to lead his troops to go up within half an hour, otherwise the military law would be engaged.
After Ren Jirong received the order, he only felt that the sky was about to fall, how many soldiers and horses could be rectified in half an hour?
Just when Ren Jirong was busy reorganizing his troops, the battle in the north of Dingzhou City also entered a white heat.
At this time, Chen Xun had already led the brigade of guards to the first line of defense, and the soldiers on the left and central sides of the front battalion of the new army stationed here had already fought hand-to-hand with the soldiers and horses of the left and right battalions of the rogue new army, and the two sides refused to give in to each other, so angry that Chen Xun scolded.
"When I was in Liaodong, I didn't see Wu Sangui's fool so capable of fighting, but now this is taking an aphrodisiac?"
Outside the first line of defense, the right battalion of Chen Yongfu's rogue new army has been withdrawn and replaced with the soldiers and horses of the left battalion of Wu Sangui's department, most of the 40,000 dead soldiers have been consumed, but the remaining dead soldiers still have not withdrawn, not because they don't want to withdraw, but they have been stopped by the 10,000 firefighters who rushed up from behind.
At this time, Ma Bao, the general of Youguoyi, roared and ordered 10,000 firefighters to open fire, regardless of friend or foe, and fired continuous volleys at the crowd in front of them who were fighting hand-to-hand.
Inside and outside the first line of defense, nearly 20,000 rogue soldiers and thousands of soldiers in the front camp of the new army were already mixed together, and they were suddenly hit by a volley of thieves and musketeers, and the crowd suddenly fell in pieces, and many soldiers of the new army were also killed and wounded.
"Earthquake Thunder!"
Guo Mingxu, the general in the middle of the former battalion of the new army, roared angrily, personally carrying more than a dozen swords and shields
The hand broke through the thief dead soldier in front, and then threw the sky-shaking thunder to the thief firecracker horizontal formation dozens of steps away, everyone was stimulated by the battlefield environment, all of them played extraordinarily, and the sky-shaking thunder thrown out was not only farther than usual, but also more accurate, almost all of them exploded in the thief firecracker array.
Rumble!
Although there were not many more than a dozen earth-shattering thunderbolts, they caused a huge shock to the thief fire gunner's horizontal formation, and many soldiers ran backwards in horror.
But at this time, another round of earth-shattering thunder fell, and the explosions came and went, which made Ma Bao furious, and directly mobilized more than 200 people to shoot Guo Mingxu and others.
"Put!"
After a burst of shooting, Guo Mingxu and other soldiers were killed and injured in a large number of times, and more than a dozen people fell directly Eight or nine, Guo Mingxu was also hit by a shot, fortunately he did not hit the vital point, and the armor on his body also blocked most of the damage.
The surviving sword and shield bearers raised their shields one after another and dragged Guo Mingxu back into the defensive line, and the soldiers of the new army who were fighting around saw this, and rushed over to cover with a roar, repelling the dead thieves who tried to pick up the cheap.
Chen Xun was taken aback when he received the news, and hurriedly ordered Guo Mingxu to be sent back to the city and handed over to the military medical officer for treatment.
At this time, Chen Xun looked at the enemy army formation in the distance, and said angrily: "Immediately report to the elder of the pavilion, please send reinforcements to the second line of defense, and the soldiers of my front battalion are ready to launch a full-scale counterattack!" ”
"Yes!"
Soon Chen Xun received Liu Yan's order, the right battalion of the new army was assembling and would soon be able to go out of the city to support.
Chen Xun was determined and was about to be stationed in the first place
The officers and men on the right side of the front battalion of the new army in the second line of defense were transferred to the front line, and all the troops of the front battalion of the new army were gathered to carry out a counterattack.
At this time, the soldiers of the front battalion of the angry new army were all vying for the lead, and it only took less than half an hour to defeat the remnants of the thieves and dead soldiers, and then opened the way with earth-shattering thunder, directly blowing up the fire gun horizontal formation of Ma Bao's department.
"Assemble! Hold your ground! ”
Ma Bao looked at the fleeing firecrackers, still roaring loudly, Ma Bao, who is known for his bravery, naturally will not give up retreating easily, but at this time, the soldiers and horses under his command are defeated like a mountain, and they no longer listen to Ma Bao's command at all.
In the back, Wang Pu, the general of Zuo Guoyi, and Li Fuming, the general of Guoyi, led 30,000 armor soldiers to assemble in formation.
Once upon a time, Wang Pu and Li Fuming also led their troops to fight side by side with Liu Yan's troops, but now they have become enemies of the sword and soldiers.
"Let's press it down!"
Li Fuming sighed and spoke.
Wang Pu's heart trembled, and then said: "Come on, die early and live early!" ”
The 30,000 armored soldiers of the left battalion of the new army of thieves began to advance, and soon encountered a large number of retreating routs, and Ma Bao was also mixed in the rout, and hurriedly found Wang Pu and Li Fuming, and said: "The two generals will go up first, and I will reorganize the troops and horses in the back, in order to fight again!" ”
Although Wang Pu and Li Fuming both nodded in agreement, Ma Bao couldn't see a trace of confidence in the eyes of the two, so Ma Bao's heart suddenly cooled.
"Put!"
Suddenly, there was a salvo of birds ahead
More than 10,000 soldiers in the front battalion of the new army have finished arranged, and the sound of a salvo like the sound of hell magic sounded on the battlefield again.
The rout in front of them suddenly suffered heavy casualties, and the advancing armoured soldiers were also in danger, and the speed of advance slowed down.
Seeing this, Ma Bao immediately shouted: "Why didn't the two generals press the front to press the formation, how could such an attack be topped!" ”
At this time, Wang Pu was furious and shouted: "You are just General Youguoyi, Lao Tzu used to be the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not your turn to point fingers here!" ”
Ma Bao licked his lips, then pulled out his battle knife and said in a cold voice: "Chief Officer? Don't forget that you are now General Zuo Guoyi of Dashun, I see that you still want to take refuge in the Ming Court! ”
Wang Pu is not to be outdone, he doesn't dare to fight Liu Yan to the death, are you still afraid of you, Ma Bao?
So Wang Pu immediately pulled out his war knife and confronted Ma Bao, and the guards around the two also drew their knives, Li Fuming saw this and pulled out his war knife without saying a word, and stood with Wang Pu.
Seeing this, Ma Bao roared angrily: "You want to rebel! ”
Wang Pu said coldly: "You are a thief, what qualifications do you have to say the word rebellion?" ”
Ma Bao yelled: "Don't talk nonsense, kill!" ”
Immediately, Ma Bao led his troops to fight with Wang Pu and Li Fuming, and the 30,000 armor soldiers who were advancing temporarily lost their command, and the armor soldiers behind discovered Wang Pu, Ma Bao and others who were fighting infighting, and they were suddenly in chaos.
Some of the armor soldiers rushed up to besiege Ma Bao's rout, and more armor soldiers began to retreat, and the attack that had just been organized collapsed in an instant.
"Your own people are fighting?"
Chen Xun received the report and looked at the rogue armor in front of him
The crowd of soldiers was overjoyed, and immediately led their troops to press it directly.
At this time, the soldiers of the front battalion of the new army opened the way with earth-shaking thunder, and the bird-gunned men fired three rounds of salvos horizontally, and then advanced twenty steps, followed by a wave of earth-shaking thunder, and then fired three more rounds, and so on.
Although the progress was slow, it was able to bring the firepower of the new army into full play, and it was almost all the way flat on the battlefield, and the thieves and horses could not resist it at all, and they began to flee one after another.
At this time, Wang Bo, the chief officer of the right battalion of the new army, had already led his troops out of the city, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the right battalion had taken over the second line of defense. ”
Chen Yujing said with a smile: "Most of the thieves and horses in the north are officers and soldiers who surrendered with Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and others, and their fighting spirit is not high, and they are not treated by thieves, so their combat power is greatly reduced. I guess it's our side that will end this battle first! ”
Wang Bo thought for a moment and said: "Since this is the case, then we can't watch the play here, the right side will leave two lines of defense to garrison, and the rest of the soldiers will rush up with me to meet the soldiers of the front battalion!" ”
The right general Lu Ming wailed, the left general Wang Rao, and the central general Chen Yujing cheered, and soon the two soldiers of the right battalion were assembled, and the same as the soldiers of the front battalion, at this time, the soldiers of the right battalion did not receive the night and the guards did not go out on horseback, and the horses were left in the city, and the soldiers of the whole battalion were arrayed to fight.
Soon, the right battalion of the new army
The soldiers rushed to the battlefield in great strides, and together with the soldiers of the front battalion, they directly opened the way with firepower, and in one fell swoop defeated the rogue armor soldiers who were staying in place and were on standby, driving tens of thousands of rout soldiers to the north.
At this time, Wu Sangui, the left Guoyi general Xia Guoxiang, and the right Guoyi general Wang Pingfan led 20,000 horsemen to watch the battle in the Chinese army, looking at the large number of routs who fled, the faces of the three were extremely ugly.
"General, at least 20,000 or 30,000 horses from Liu Yan's army have rushed over, should we avoid the edge?"
Xia Guoxiang said worriedly, the soldiers and horses of the new army in front of him were already less than a mile away from the Chinese army, and if they didn't withdraw, they might be too late.
Wu Sangui frowned and said, "Is there any news from Chen Yongfu's department?" ”
Wang Pingfan said: "Not long ago, I sent someone to say, Chen Yongfu and Chen Dezheng led their troops to help, but I haven't seen anyone yet, and I guess they are perfunctory to us." ”
Wu Sangui said: "Chen Yongfu has also fought side by side with Liu Yan, he naturally knows how strong Liu Yan's department is, and he must preserve his strength at this time." ”
"So what do we do?"
Wu Sangui immediately said: "Withdraw!" ”
"I think the Dashun army will still lose this battle, with Liu Yan's current strength, it will never make Li Zicheng have the possibility of resurrection, we also have to think about our future."
When it comes to the future, Xia Guoxiang and Wang Pingfan both have gloomy expressions, in today's world, in addition to Da Ming and Da Shun, where is there a place for everyone?
Wu Sangui said: "Withdraw first, as long as we still have troops in our hands, we will have bargaining chips with Liu Yan and Li Zicheng!" ”
"Yes!"
Wu Sangui immediately led 20,000 horsemen together with Xia Guoxiang and Wang Pingfan
quickly retreated, as for the rout in front, as well as Wang Pu, Li Fuming, and Ma Bao, they all gave up.
Wu Sangui and the others led their troops to retreat north for several miles, and then turned around and rushed to the west, preparing to observe the situation in the northwest.
At the same time, Chen Yongfu and Chen De also led their troops forward, and the two suddenly received a report from the scout, and learned that Wu Sangui had led the cavalry to retreat, and they were dumbfounded.
"Such a big battle, Wu Sangui is like child's play!"
Chen De said angrily: "Father, what should we do? ”
At this time, Chen Yongfu frowned, and the battlefield in front of him was full of the routs of the two battalions of the rogue new army, and the two huge horizontal formations of the front battalion and the right battalion of the new army were quickly pressing over to this side, driving a large number of routs to flee to the north.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yongfu said: "The battlefield in the north is irretrievable, let's rush forward, it's just to send us to death, since Wu Sangui takes the first step, then let's also retreat!" ”
Chen De said worriedly: "Then what if Your Majesty asks after the war?" ”
Chen Yongfu looked at the soldiers and horses of the new army that were getting closer and closer, and said: "After this battle, Li Zicheng should worry about himself first!" ”
After speaking, Chen Yongfu ordered to retreat, but was stopped by Ma Bao who rushed in after a while.
At this time, Ma Bao was covered in blood, with hundreds of firecrackers, and thousands of rout soldiers who withdrew together, blocking the way of more than 20,000 people who had just been reorganized by Chen Yongfu and Chen De's subordinates.
I saw Ma Bao roaring angrily: "Why don't you lead your troops to rush forward!" ”
Chen Yongfu looked at Ma Bao in front of him coldly, and said, "Wu Sangui has withdrawn, what are you still insisting on as a general of Youguoyi?" ”
Chen De
was also furious, and shouted: "My father is the general of the right battalion of the new army, you have your own attitude!" ”
Ma Bao raised the war knife in his hand and said in a cold voice: "Wang Pu and Li Fuming retreated from the battle, they have been killed by Lao Tzu, do you also want to escape!" ”
Chen Yongfu and Chen De were taken aback when they heard the news, and they couldn't imagine that Ma Bao in front of them was so ruthless.
"Get out of the way!"
Chen Yongfu was still weighing, but Chen De stepped forward and pushed Ma Bao away, and was about to reprimand loudly, but when he saw Ma Bao screaming, he directly hacked Chen De to death, and then rushed to Chen Yongfu like crazy.
"I'll kill you!"
Chen Yongfu looked at Chen De, who was lying in a pool of blood, lost his mind in an instant, and directly led his troops to kill with Ma Bao's department, and the two sides immediately began to fight.
