Chapter 311: Decisive Battle of the Yongle Army
An army of 100,000 poured out, almost not giving Su Qianmo any chance, there were 20,000 people in the five directions, Li Tianyan was in the middle lane, and the rest of the directions were Deng Xianjue and others.
The battle of the 100,000-strong army was huge, but after being divided into five forces, it was obvious that it would be much more hidden in action. Li Tianyan rode on a war horse, there was no moon tonight, and the sky that looked gloomy made the surrounding space fall into darkness.
But the bright light of the stars still allows the people around to see each other, but people who are tens of meters away can't see clearly.
Li Tianyan and the others didn't dare to light the torches, since it was a sneak attack, of course, the more concealed the better, and the slightest light could expose them.
"There is a large enemy camp ahead, everyone pay attention to concealment, first send 2,000 people to sneak over, create some chaos for them, and when chaos arises, launch a general attack!" Li Tianyan instructed the general beside him.
Soon, the general ordered to leave, and everyone stopped where they were, looking at the camp that emitted a little fire under the dark and silent night sky in the distance.
Although there were not many bright lights in the battalion, they were able to show their location. Two thousand Yongle troops began to sneak quietly.
At the same time, the Yongle army in the other four directions also began to gather in the middle, and they were also waiting for a signal that once the camp of the Danyang army was on fire, it would be time for them to launch a general attack.
It's just that just after they quietly sneaked to the Danyang army camp, 40,000 people quietly surrounded them in the rear of them. It was the 40,000 people led by Chen Qing and Guo Ming on both sides of the lurking side.
They are hidden in the tunnels, usually in a hidden state, most of the time they are vigilant, and they are aware of the Yongle Army's sneak attack as soon as they arrive.
By the time Da Lao surrounded the camp in the middle, they had already surrounded the Yongle Army's army in turn, and they were not worried that the Yongle Army's army would break through Su Qianmo's camp.
Because, Su Qianmo had already set traps around the camp, and when they went over, they would only run into their heads, and even in a short period of time, they would not be able to attack the camp.
With 40,000 people surrounding in reverse, Li Tianyan's men had already rushed to the periphery of the camp where Su Qianmo was, and the 2,000 people were less than 300 meters away from the camp.
But just as they were about to go further, suddenly, I don't know who stepped on one of the ground, a slight sound sounded, and the moment the sound sounded, before the person who stepped on the ground could react, suddenly, there was an explosion.
More than a dozen people around that person were blown away in an instant, not only that, but when the others saw this scene, they panicked, and stepped on the wrong step for a while, and another explosion sounded, and suddenly dozens of people were lost.
This situation made Li Tianyan, who saw this scene from a distance, suddenly stunned, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he had heard that the Danyang Army had weapons made of gunpowder, but who would have thought that this weapon was not only powerful, but also able to create traps.
From the moment the earth-shattering explosion sounded, the camp of the Danyang Army was suddenly brightly lit, not only that, but I saw that around the camp, many soldiers suddenly appeared, and they seemed to have been rehearsed a long time ago, and suddenly occupied a favorable position and defended the entire camp to the death.
This kind of action made Li Tianyan a little dumbfounded, he stayed in place in a daze, feeling that his brain was blinded, obviously he just wanted to steal the camp quietly, but now it seems that it is obvious that he can't steal it.
He couldn't think about it, how could the Danyang Army make such a strange arrangement and lay out such a strange means.
"General, what are we going to do? Still stealing camps! Seeing this scene, a general beside Li Tianyan said with a solemn face.
There are 40,000 people on the other side, and their operation to steal the camp has been destroyed, and if they rush the camp again at this time, although they can knock the other party down, the loss will definitely not be less.
But his heart was also full of unwillingness, and he finally made up his mind to steal the camp, and it took so much effort to divide the five-way army to surround the enemy camp, and it was a pity to give up like this.
"Stealing...... Why don't we steal, as long as we destroy them with all our might, even if it costs a little, we will not hesitate. Li Tianyan came back to his senses, and his eyes instantly became sharp. He grabbed the belly of his horse and shouted to the camp in front of him:
"Rush ...... Destroy them for General Ben...... Whoever wins the head of the enemy general will be rewarded by this general! With his voice, the Yongle army that reacted rushed out in an instant.
With his shouting of killing, the Yongle Army in the other four directions also received the signal, and they also saw the sudden situation on Li Tianyan's side, but they didn't figure out what was going on for a while.
However, there was a shouting of killing all day long, and they did not have any scruples, and then rushed to the camp in front, only to see that the camp in front was brightly lit, and there were many Danyang troops guarding the fence.
Seeing this scene, the corners of their mouths hung a hint of ridicule, even if the Danyang Army had a fence, could those fences alone save them from the fate of defeat! Relying on human flesh to block it, it can't stop their crowd attacks.
A group of generals of the Yongle Army rushed to the camp of the Danyang Army with excitement on their faces, as if they had seen the Danyang Army being annihilated by the whole army.
In the blink of an eye, the Yongle Army rushed over from all directions, and they all screamed, so excited.
At the same time, on one of the outposts of the Danyang Army, Su Qianmo, who was already wearing a suit of armor, stood in it, and this outpost tower could take in all the scenes of the entire military camp.
Looking at the Yongle Army rushing around, the eyes of several generals who followed him clearly showed a look of horror, under such a scale of attack, could the big battalion really hold on?
These people have never seen such a brutal battle, this is a surrounded battle, even if several of the generals have experienced the battle against Jin, but it is not as good as now.
The battle against Jin, that was to defeat the water dogs, but now they are enemies who are several times harder than them, with everything in front of them, can they really stop such an offensive?
Just when they were worried, Su Qianmo's face was cold, and there was a trace of strong battle intent and excitement in his eyes. But her expression was as calm as ever.
No matter what this battle is, she will fight it, she has long guessed that the Yongle army will come to sneak attack, so she has made a lot of preparations, and now it depends on the will of heaven whether she wins or loses.
At the same time, the Yongle army in five directions had already rushed to the ground of three or four hundred meters in front of the camp, but as soon as they rushed into it, a violent explosion sounded around them.
Nearly half of those who rushed in were killed, and those who were not killed were also injured, and many people were directly frightened by this scene. The speed of the charge slowed down.
Suddenly, there was a phenomenon of crowding, and the people in front were forced to squeeze forward, and then, there were bursts of violent explosions, and there were casualties, and not only that, but I saw those Danyang soldiers blocking in front of the fence, and the weapons in their hands made a banging sound.
With this sound sounding, the charging Yongle army fell down in pieces, and this was not enough, and then I saw that from the camp tent of the Danyang army, bursts of fire rose into the sky, and then, countless fireballs fell into the charging army.
Explosions rang out from the army, and patches of people were blown up. Patches of people died. Before they could understand what was happening, they were overwhelmed by the violent explosion.
For a moment, people panicked, in the face of such a terrifying way of fighting, almost one-sided slaughter, can these people not be afraid! Major generals such as Li Tianyan and Deng Xianjue, who were hiding in the crowd, saw this scene.
I was dumbfounded, what kind of tactics is this, what kind of weapon is this, can gunpowder still be used like this!
They looked at the army that was about to be chaotic, and immediately shouted and ordered their generals to continue to charge towards the camp of the Danyang army.
In the rear, there were even law enforcement team men who raised their knives and killed those fleeing soldiers on the spot, which prevented the rout. The frightened Yongle Army once again organized a charging team and rushed towards the camp of the Danyang Army.
But every time he charged, most of them were either killed by inexplicably flying fireballs, or before they could get close to the fence of the camp, they inexplicably broke blood on their bodies and fell straight down.
Such a battle frightened the Yongle Army, and their combat effectiveness dropped sharply, and they had long lost the excitement they had when they came, and now they only hated how they could participate in such a battle.
This battle is too aggrieved, what about hand-to-hand combat, this is especially a target, how many they rush over, it is estimated that they will be killed. But you can't rush it.
Even if it was attacked in five directions, none of them could attack in front of the camp, and even if they rushed through, they were inexplicably killed in front of the camp tent.
This gave the Yongle army a sense of powerlessness, as if the camp tent was a stone that could not be splashed with water, and no matter how hard they tried, they would eventually be squeezed out. A sense of powerlessness surged in the hearts of all the Yongle Army, even in the hearts of generals such as Li Tianyan and Deng Xianjue.
But they were really unwilling, so they gave up, the more soldiers they died, the more they didn't want to give up, and around the camp, there were already piles of corpses.
Not to mention, I am afraid that there are nearly 10,000 people, and it may even reach 20,000, and the explosive fireballs burst out from time to time, causing them heavy losses.
At the highest outpost tower of the Danyang Army, Su Qianmo always looked at all this coldly, and sighed in her heart, the weapons of the People's Army still did not disappoint her. It lasted for a quarter of an hour.
But her brows were a little twisted, and a look of worry surged in her heart, although the weapons in the hands of the People's Army were very powerful, but the problem was that these weapons and ammunition were limited, and it was impossible to use them endlessly.
Judging from the current consumption, it can hold out for half an hour at most, and after half a quarter of an hour, it will be completely hand-to-hand combat. At that time, I didn't know what it would be like.
But she was ready to go to war at any time, and the horses under the sentry tower were ready. Just wait for the right moment.
At this moment, there were shouts of killing from all directions, and Su Qianmo looked over, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Chen Qing and Guo Ming have already done it, everyone, it's time for us too...... Walk...... Fight them...... Let them know that our People's Army is not so easy to bully! ”
With a chuckle, she swept down the sentry tower and sat down on her horse in an instant. She took the Mo knife standing on the wooden shelf next to her. As soon as he clamped the horse's belly, he rushed in one of the directions.
The generals also followed one after another, and they rode on their war horses to chase Su Qianmo.
At the same time, at the four gates of the entire camp, the People's Army, which had already prepared, was all waiting for orders.
I saw Su Qianmo shouting, "Kill ...... Those who commit Danyang will be punished even if they are far away! ”
With her voice, the Danyang army at the four gates of the village was like a tiger coming out of the cage, and instantly met the Yongle army. The fight between the two sides began.
On the side of the Yongle Army, the morale has long fallen to the lowest, and now seeing that Su Qianmo actually led the Danyang Army to kill, the morale fell again, and it was not only that, the shouting and killing sound from behind them let them know that they were surrounded by counter-surrounding.
In the face of such a battle of trapped beasts, the Yongle Army also showed a tenacious side. The two sides engaged in a fierce fight. On the Danyang army's side, there were 60,000 people, and on the Yongle army's side, more than 20,000 people died, and there were almost 80,000 left.
The two collided together, and both sides were red-eyed. But the Danyang People's Army is obviously more courageous, not to mention, their morale is higher than that of the Yongle Army.
Coupled with the anti-encirclement attack, the Yongle Army's military formation was immediately disrupted and cut, and many places lost their command. As soon as this situation appeared, the disadvantages of the Yongle Army appeared.
Once the Yongle army lost its command, the morale became even lower. On the other hand, on the People's Army's side, whether it is a squad unit or a platoon-level unit, everyone is effectively attacking in battle formations.
Even if half of them were killed, they would be able to form a battle formation with the others and continue the attack. No one to command? Sorry, this doesn't exist.
Even if it is a small soldier, in the absence of a commander, he can take over the command in time. No one else has objected yet. Even instinctively obeyed the man's command.
Therefore, even if the Yongle Army is higher in numbers than the People's Army, with the stalemate of the battle, the People's Army not only regained its disadvantage, but also made the Yongle Army even more chaotic.
The two sides of the entire battlefield were entangled together, and the battle was in full swing, and it was also bloody, and it was extremely tragic, but compared to the People's Army, the Yongle Army was like an old man who was struggling to survive.
What can be seen everywhere is that the Yongle Army that is barely resisting, and then several People's Army, chasing dozens or hundreds of Yongle Army. The Yongle army has been completely defeated.
However, at least nearly half of the Yongle Army is struggling to support, and these are the elite of the Yongle Army, who are struggling to maintain the defeat. It also caused no small casualties to the People's Army.
Su Qianmo carried a horse chopping knife and slashed all the way, watching the People's Army soldiers fall, her heart was dripping blood. If the KPA had had been well armed, there would have been no such hand-to-hand combat. Just find a place to ambush. Or find a place to snipe. You don't even need to touch the enemy's face to destroy the enemy.
It's a pity that the production of Danyang City still can't keep up, and now it can only be based on hand-to-hand combat. She looked to the right and saw that the three generals of the Yongle Army were preparing to break out with thousands of people, and she rushed over with murderous eyes.
He was followed by thousands of cavalry, as well as several generals. The rest of the People's Army was entangled with the Yongle Army, but the morale of the Yongle Army was extremely low, and the escape of those generals made them almost have no fighting spirit.
Su Qianmo raised his saber and cut a Yongle army that came up to block him in two, speeding up the pursuit of the thousands of Yongle troops who broke through.
