Chapter 543: Battle of Dingzhou (6)
The fierce battle between Ma Bao and Chen Yongfu did not last long, and more than 20,000 soldiers from the front and right battalions of the new army led by Chen Xun and Wang Bo were killed.
The two large horizontal formations of the new army swept over directly, and the fierce bird salvo was like a storm, instantly bulldozing the crowd in front, thousands of thieves and horses who were cutting each other were killed and wounded, and Ma Bao was also hit by a few guns, and he fell unwillingly in a pool of blood.
At this time, Chen Yongfu was also injured in many places, and there were more than a dozen guards left around him, looking at the battlefield full of corpses around him, and looking at the more than 20,000 soldiers of the new army who were already charging with bayonets not far away, Chen Yongfu suddenly laughed, laughing wildly with tears on his face, and then directly swung his knife to kill himself under the frightened gaze of the surrounding guards and guards.
The battle in the north came to an end, Chen Xun and Wang Bo led their troops to begin to push the entire northern battlefield, and the left and right battalions of the new army of thieves were wiped out in a battle, leaving only 20,000 horsemen under Wu Sangui to withdraw from the battlefield.
At the same time, the war south of Dingzhou had also come to an end.
Under the command of Liu Fangliang, the soldiers and horses of the left battalion of the thieves continued to attack the soldiers of the rear battalion of the new army in the defense line outside the city.
But that's all, most of the so-called shield carts were trolleys, and some plates were added to them, and under the salvo of birds and thunder of the soldiers of the rear battalion of the new army, the 70,000 dead soldiers of the left battalion of the thieves suffered heavy casualties, at least more than 30,000 corpses were left in front of the new army, and then they fled in a hurry.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Guoyi's general Ma Shiyao led 10,000 fires
The gunners stepped forward, and it was still the usual tactics after the reorganization of the thieves' battalions, and the 10,000 firecrackers formed a formation to shoot at the new army's birds, and the results can be imagined.
The 10,000 rogue thieves only lasted less than half an hour before they were defeated, and more than 2,000 people were shot.
Immediately after the thieves left battalion right mighty general Liu Rukui led 50,000 armor soldiers into battle, these thieves armor soldiers combat strength is not bad, the whole army advanced with a shield array, even after losing thousands of people, forced into the first line of defense, forced the new army rear battalion left staff general Kang Hui to order bayonets, the two sides launched hand-to-hand combat for nearly an hour.
In the end, Wang Yue personally led the soldiers in the middle and right of the rear camp to come to support, and after Liu Yan received the military information, he also sent the sixth battalion of the garrison to support, which pushed back and killed the 50,000 armor soldiers of the left battalion of the thieves.
Outside the first line of defense, Wang Yue sat on the ground tiredly, and the soldiers of the rear battalion of the new army in front were establishing a defensive line and shooting the thieves on the battlefield.
On the side, Tian Zhenbei, the deputy chief of the sixth battalion of the garrison, also sat down and said: "It's really dangerous, these thieves and horses are really like chicken blood, and they can actually rush into the defense line!" ”
Wang Yue said: "Yes, I didn't expect it either. But now it's okay, after withstanding this wave, I don't think Liu Fangliang will be able to jump for long! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a roar in front of him, Wang Yue and Tian Zhenbei's faces changed greatly, and they shouted in unison: "Thieves ride!" ”
At this time, the thief left the left mighty general Li Jin
Led 30,000 horsemen to rush over, and the army even ignored the armored soldiers, dead soldiers, and firecrackers who fled on the battlefield, and directly collided with them, and went straight to the rear battalion of the new army and the officers and men of the sixth battalion of the garrison army that were gathering outside the defense line.
Because the three battlefields outside Dingzhou City have entered a scorching state, the artillery on the city has all stopped bombarding, and those cavalry troops have no resistance at this time, and directly rushed up at the highest speed.
Wang Yue immediately roared angrily: "Fire!" ”
The 10,000 and thousands of bird-gunners of the two battalions opened fire at the same time, and the fierce fire swept across the front in an instant, killing most of the horsemen who rushed to the front.
"Get on the bayonet!"
At this time, the rear battalion of the new army and the sixth battalion of the garrison army had no time to withdraw to the defense line, so Wang Yue directly ordered the bayonet, and Tian Zhenbei also hurriedly transferred the pikemen in the battalion to the front to block the enemy cavalry, and more than 20,000 soldiers of the two battalions roared angrily and fought with the rogue cavalry who rushed up.
"Die!"
Li Jinze's horse directly knocked into a new army commander, and then the spear in his hand pierced another new army soldier.
But immediately after, Li Jin's war horse was stopped by more than a dozen bright bayonets, and even the war horse was frightened and stood up, and the same was true of the thief stick riding behind.
Looking at those soldiers of the new army and garrison who were not afraid of life and death, rushed up in formation, and fought in close combat with the cavalry army, Li Jin was shocked in his heart, what kind of enemy is this!
Just now, when the armies of the two sides had just come into contact, Li Jin had seen with his own eyes a large number of officers and men of the New Army and the garrison army being knocked away by the galloping iron cavalry, but those officers and soldiers did not waver in the slightest, and still sniped the cavalry with bayonets and spears
The soldiers, with a dense phalanx and a lot of casualties, stopped the 30,000 cavalry army, and the two sides immediately started a melee!
At this time, Li Jin blocked left and right, and his subordinates around him also fought to the death, but they were still injured by the bayonet that stabbed him, Li Jin already had more than a dozen scars on his body, and the blood stained his armor and clothes red, and the severe pain made Li Jin constantly roar.
Not far away, Wang Yue was attracted by the roar, found Li Jin who was riding a horse and fighting, and immediately shouted: "Kill him!" Kill him for Lao Tzu! ”
The two sword and shield hands next to him rushed directly and threw out two earth-shattering thunderbolts regardless of it.
"Earthquake Thunder!"
The officers and men of the new army and the garrison who were fighting in front heard the shouts of the two sword and shield men, and immediately retreated like a tide, leaving behind Li Jin and dozens of thieves who did not know why.
Rumble!
After two loud noises in a row, Li Jin and dozens of horsemen around him were blown up, Li Jin was directly killed, dozens of horsemen were also killed and injured more than 20 people, and the rest of the horsemen were all broken, and they turned around and fled.
"Haha!"
Wang Yue shouted like a madman; "Fight against Lao Tzu and blow you up!"
On the other side, Tian Zhenbei had already issued an order to counterattack, and the officers and men of the rear battalion of the new army and the sixth battalion of the garrison army advanced one after another, at this time Li Jin's battle flag had fallen, and the remaining more than 20,000 horsemen on the battlefield were horrified to find that the main general was actually killed.
At this time, in the middle army of the left camp of the thieves, Liu Fangliang looked at the fleeing cavalry army, and couldn't help showing a sad look on his face, and said to Liu Rukui, the right mighty general who had just fled: "Withdraw the army!" ”
“
Checkmate! ”
Liu Rukui said angrily: "We still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we can continue to fight, as long as the rest of the battalions win and come to support, this battle will be won, why should the general withdraw his troops!" ”
Liu Fangliang said in despair: "Liu Yanbu is fighting more with less in three directions, but have you received good news from the rest of the battlefields?" No! This shows that the rest of the places are the same as us, and they can't win! ”
"If you withdraw now, you can still retain a trace of vitality for Dashun, continue to fight, and Dashun will really be over!"
Liu Rukui burst into tears at this time, the battle flags of Ma Shiyao and Li Jin fell one after another, and the army was also defeated by Liu Yanbu, and now the army is about to retreat, but Liu Rukui's heart has never been able to let go.
So Liu Rukui said: "The general led the Chinese army to go first, and the last general broke off here!" ”
Liu Fangliang looked at Liu Rukui meaningfully, and seeing his resolute attitude, he had no choice but to say: "Come back alive!" ”
Afterwards, Liu Fangliang led more than 2,000 people of the Chinese army, as well as hundreds of horsemen and thousands of armored soldiers who fled back one after another, to retreat to the west.
After Liu Fangliang led his troops to withdraw, Liu Rukui led the remaining thousands of defeated troops to form a formation on the spot, and soon the rear battalion of the new army in front and the sixth battalion of the garrison army pressed over, and a large number of defeated troops also fled from the north.
Liu Rukui wanted to order someone to gather those routs into the formation and block the Liu Yanbu army that was pressing over, but to no avail, those routs only hated their parents at this time for giving birth to two legs, and they would not stop at all, and even many routs directly killed the thieves and horses who blocked them.
Seeing this, Liu Rukui's face turned pale, and he immediately shouted loudly
"Soldiers! Fight to the end with me, and be loyal to Dashun! ”
The army formation composed of thousands of defeated soldiers was crumbling, but under the command of Liu Rukui, it was able to hold on.
Soon, Wang Yue and Tian Zhenbei led the soldiers of the rear battalion of the new army and the sixth battalion of the garrison army to kill, and more than 20,000 elite soldiers directly surrounded thousands of thieves, but they did not rush up to fight directly, but kept a distance of dozens of steps from the thieves.
In this battle, the rear battalion of the new army and the sixth battalion of the garrison army suffered heavy casualties, Wang Yue and Tian Zhenbei felt hatred in their hearts, and the two directly ordered a salvo of birds, standing dozens of steps away, and "shooting" Liu Rukui and other thousands of thieves and horses!
In the roar of the birds, Liu Rukui led a large group of rogue soldiers to charge, but he couldn't rush at all, including Liu Rukui, thousands of rogue soldiers and horses were all shot and killed, and the corpses in the encirclement were all over the field and rivers of blood.
"Report to the elder immediately!"
Wang Yue immediately sent someone to report to Liu Yanyu about the victory on the southern front, and at the same time, together with Tian Zhenbei, he commanded the rear battalion of the New Army and the officers and men of the sixth battalion of the garrison to form a formation on the spot, waiting for Liu Yan's next order.
"Report!"
At this time, on the west wall of Dingzhou City, Liu Yan received the good news sent by Wang Yue, and said with a smile to Miao Shao and Xu Ming beside him: "Okay! I really didn't expect that it was the southern battlefield that ended the battle first. ”
Miao Shao said with a smile: "It's okay now, Wang Yue can brag about it for a while." ”
At this moment, Chen Xun also sent someone to deliver good news, and the left and right battalions of the rogue new army in the north were completely defeated.
Liu Yan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay! Today is the day of Li Zicheng's defeat! ”
Xu Ming jumped
He said eagerly: "Ge Lao, now that the war in the north and south is over, it's time for the cavalry battalion to attack, right?" ”
Liu Yan smiled and said, "Okay! You immediately lead the cavalry battalion to attack from the West City Gate, but you don't attack the middle camp of the thieves, but kill directly at the old camp of the thieves! ”
"Yes!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yan said to the herald beside him: "Order the front battalion and right battalion of the new army in the north, as well as the rear battalion of the new army and the sixth battalion of the garrison army in the south, immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses, and attack the west to the west!" ”
"Yes!"
After some deployment, Liu Yan's heart was settled, and the smile on his face became brighter.
But Miao Shao complained and said: "Pavilion Elder don't let the guard battalion garrison the rear next time, the soldiers of the guard battalion haven't even caught a single head in this big battle!" ”
Liu Yan sighed: "Next time? I'm afraid I won't be able to fight a big war like this a few times in the future! ”
Miao Shao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.
Yes, after Li's success and failure, there will be no internal worries in the world, and the people can rest and recuperate.
Outside the city of Dingzhou, Liu Yan's order was quickly conveyed to the battalions, the new army and the garrison battalions on the south and north sides began to move to the west, and the cavalry battalion led by Xu Ming was also leaving the city from the west gate, and the final moment of the war was approaching.
