"rush out!"
Yuan Zongdi had begun to panic at this time. Although Dang Shousu was not the most brave among the Dashun army, he was definitely relatively stable. Now that Dang Shousu's battle flag could not be found on the battlefield, there was only one conclusion. :Dang Shousu is dead!
At this time, Yuan Zongdi understood that the right camp was finished, and his top priority now was to lead his troops out as soon as possible. Only if could there be a future. As for the property in the camp, he had to give up now.
Twenty-seven thousand brave cavalry followed Yuan Zongdi and rushed out of the camp, followed by a large number of dead soldiers and gunmen. Those soldiers had no structure at all and were just a group of stragglers. At this time, they saw Yuan Zong On the third day of the battle, when he saw the organized army of valiant cavalry, he couldn't help but follow them.
At this time, in the camp, Xu Ming had led the cavalry battalion soldiers to surround Liu Tichun's troops.
"Can't get out?"
Liu Tichun felt deep fear in his heart as he looked at the New Army cavalry battalion soldiers who kept riding around and then shot their own soldiers with blunderbuss. There were only more than 10,000 armored soldiers left around Liu Tichun, and all the dead soldiers had fled.
Among these more than 10,000 armored soldiers, only three or four thousand were equipped with weapons, and almost none of them were wearing armor. Faced with the siege of more than 10,000 elite cavalry battalions, such soldiers and horses can only have one ending.
Xu Ming looked at Liu Tichun's troops who were surrounded, laughed excitedly, and shouted: "Let go! Shoot the enemy troops, don't rush into the formation!"
At this time, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion also found a new way of combat, which was to use blunderbuss for mounted shooting.
At this time, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were united as sentries, and several sentry soldiers
Li rode his horse in front to shoot around Liu Tichun's troops. After shooting, he rode back and another group of cavalry battalion soldiers came forward. He rode back and loaded the cannon on the horse.
The muskets equipped by the cavalry battalions are different from those of the infantry battalions. They are shorter overall and are not equipped with bayonets. They are more labor-saving to load and can be operated on horses.
Soon, under successive attacks, more than 10,000 Liu Tichun's troops were killed and more than 3,000 injured, and they inevitably collapsed. Xu Ming immediately ordered the entire army to charge, and tens of thousands of cavalry battalion soldiers rushed forward. Start harvesting heads.
At this moment, three thousand bandit warriors rushed from the north. Liu Tichun was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately summoned the soldiers and horses around him and roared: "Kill!"
Then Liu Tichun rode his horse and raised his spear, trying to rush out, but was shot down by two cavalry battalion soldiers. The two cavalry battalion soldiers then picked up their spears and rushed into the crowd to kill the enemy.
At this time, the three thousand brave cavalry were also stopped by two thousand cavalry battalion soldiers. The two sides launched a cavalry confrontation, and the battle was very fierce. But when Liu Tichun's battle flag crashed down, the three thousand knights began to be in chaos. Then they were severely injured by the thunderbolts thrown by the cavalry battalions on both wings. The remaining knights galloped away to the north.
In less than half an hour, Xu Ming led the cavalry battalion soldiers to clear out the enemy troops in the camp. This simple camp was full of corpses, and blood gathered into countless streams, gurgling into the Lituo River. The river water at night was dyed black and inky.
"The whole battalion goes north, attack north!"
Then Xu Ming roared and led his troops to rush north. More than 10,000 cavalry battalion soldiers rushed out of the camp on horseback.
Rushing into the northern night.
Under the vast darkness of night, Yuan Zongdi led 27,000 horsemen and galloped wildly, gradually losing touch with the large number of defeated troops behind them. The shouts from behind became farther and farther away, and finally became inaudible.
"Finally escaped!"
Yuan Zongdi felt relieved and was about to order to speed up, when a shocking scene suddenly appeared in front of him.
In the dark night ahead, countless "stars" suddenly appeared, and the dense light instantly illuminated the night as if it were day!
In the light, a huge army appeared in front of Yuan Zongdi. The two sides were less than two miles apart, but Yuan Zongdi and the 27,000 knights could not hear a sound, as if the huge military formation in front was Hallucination-like.
"It's Liu Yan!"
Yuan Zongdi saw Liu Yan's banner in the military formation. He exclaimed and ordered the entire army to speed up the attack, trying to lead his army directly into the opposite military formation.
At this time, the military formation in front was blocked by artillery and chariots. Even the horses and caltrops could not be seen. Under the illumination of countless torches, there was nothing in front of the new army formation.
But just when Yuan Zongdi led his army to a place less than a mile away, dozens of gun muzzles protruded from the military formation, and it was the gun commander Hu Zun of the New Army Artillery Battalion.
Qian Qian stood in the military formation and shouted angrily: "Fire!"
boom!
In an instant, the sky becomes dark and the earth becomes dark, and in an instant a storm strikes!
The close-range shotgun bombardment instantly wiped out a large number of rogue knights. The fierce firepower caused the liver and gallbladders of these knight soldiers who had fled all the way here to be broken. Many people subconsciously tightened their reins. The impact speed of the army was so fast that it was so fast. It came down.
At the same time, in front of the military formation was
At least 30,000 bird gunners from the front camp, rear camp, and middle camp of the New Army were already arranged in four rows. Under the orders of Chen Xun, Wang Yue, and Shen Tuo almost in unison, they opened fire at the same time, with fierce firepower. It was even more earth-shattering than the previous shelling. At least four thousand cavalry soldiers screamed and fell off their horses, including Yuan Zongdi who led the charge!
"put!"
The volleys of more than 30,000 gunners continued, and the fierce firepower filled the front of the new army's formation with smoke. Even in the night, the thick smoke could be seen with the help of firelight.
However, the rogue knights who were charging in front of the formation had been completely defeated. Many knights were galloping around in front of the formation, as if they were headless flies. They didn't know why, running around shouting and venting the fear in their hearts. Until he was hit by a lead bullet fired from a bird cannon.
"put!"
boom!
At the same time, Qian Qian's roar continued. The New Army Artillery Battalion Hu Zun Artillery Commander showed off his power this time. Such a close salvo bombardment made the gunners very excited, and even the intervals between salvos were very exciting. Smaller than usual, like a knowing blow.
After several rounds of volleys, the valiant cavalry on the battlefield could no longer see the organized charge. What was left was only the desperate charge of some brave people, and the vast majority of people galloping around on horseback.
Inside the Central Army of the New Army, Liu Yan held up his telescope and watched for a while. However, when he used the telescope to observe the battlefield at night, he could only see a mass of darkness and could not see the situation ahead at all.
Liu Yan only vaguely grasped the trends on the battlefield ahead through constant reports from the messengers in each battalion.
"Yuan Zongdi's battle flag is nowhere to be found on the battlefield?"
Liu Yan asked differently, thought for a moment, and then said
Said: "Immediately order each battalion to launch a general attack. At the same time, each battalion will not close up at night and start searching around to prevent Yuan Zongdi and other bandit generals from taking advantage of the chaos to escape!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Chen Xun, Wang Yue, and Shen Tuo at the front immediately ordered the entire battalion to fix their bayonets and use their sword and shield hands to throw thunderbolts to clear the way in front. Tens of thousands of gunmen behind them formed a formation and charged forward. Wherever the army passed, Those who stand in his way are invincible.
The rogue knights were first blasted by thunder and knocked off their backs, and then were stabbed to death by tens of thousands of armored gunmen with long bayonets. This battle was a complete massacre.
Subsequently, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, and Tian Zhenbei led the soldiers of the Zuoying Battalion, the Right Battalion and the Sixth Battalion of the garrison to follow up, leaving only the artillery battalion and the guard battalion to guard the Chinese army.
"Soldiers, charge forward and kill all the bandits!"
In the rear camp, Lao Bai roared loudly. The sound was so loud that it spread widely even on the chaotic battlefield, and the surrounding soldiers looked sideways.
Next to him, Shen Wen, the flag leader, frowned and glared at Lao Bai, as if he was complaining about why it was so noisy.
"All charge, charge!"
When the Shangguan gave the order, Lao Bai and Shen Wen also roared angrily, leading their soldiers to start running. The army formation was like a stormy sea, instantly crashing into the bandit soldiers and horses in front, directly defeating the remaining bandit knights, and began He ran backwards in embarrassment.
Shen Wen was still following the crowd at this time, and just fired a few times. Before he could catch an enemy's blade, he saw the knights in the distance galloping away on horseback, and finally disappeared into the night ahead. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Why are you running? A bunch of soft-footed shrimps!"
Immediately afterwards, Shen Wen faced
He put on a smile and saw the defeated cavalry troops in front of him running back in panic. Behind him, he saw a large number of soldiers from the cavalry battalion of the New Army, who were killing the defeated troops in front of them like chopping melons and vegetables. .
Lao Bai on the side roared angrily: "These cavalry are really good at picking up bargains!"
The fierce battle under the night was still going on. The hundreds of thousands of troops in the Rogue Right Camp had collapsed, and the remaining fierce battle was just a one-sided massacre, bloody and without suspense.
Early the next morning, Liu Yan sat tiredly on a dead horse, looking at the corpses on the ground around him and the heavy troops of each battalion who were cleaning the battlefield, with an expression of excitement and joy on his face: This battle was won!
After two consecutive attacks, the rear camp and the right camp of the bandits were completely wiped out. The bandits lost more than 300,000 troops. It is exciting to think of such huge results.
"Mr. Ge!"
Although the battlefield has not yet been cleaned up at this time, the heads everywhere have been basically chopped off, and the casualties and results of each battalion have also been tallied.
Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Chen Xun came over laughing and sat on the ground next to Liu Yan.
"Why, didn't I tell you to hurry up and take a nap? Why didn't you go to bed?"
Chen Xun said with a smile: "Mr. Ge didn't sleep either."
Liu Yan laughed loudly and said, "It seems that you are just like me, you are so happy that you can't sleep!"
Everyone laughed.
"What was the result of this battle?"
Chen Xun and Xu Ming both looked at Miao Shao, and saw Miao Shao taking out a piece of paper and reporting the results of the battle to Liu Yan.
In this battle, the army raided the Youying camp of the bandits and killed General Yuan Zongdi, General Liu Tichun of You Guoyi, and Deputy Weiwei general Dang.
Shousu beheaded more than 83,600 people, captured more than 42,000 people, captured more than 3,000 firecrackers of various types, and tens of thousands of armor collars. In addition, the property abandoned by Liu Yan before was also seized.
The 170,000-strong army of the Right Battalion of Rogue Bandits led by Yuan Zongdi, after this battle, only more than 40,000 people were defeated. This battalion of bandit soldiers was completely destroyed!
In this battle, 817 soldiers of each battalion of the New Army were killed and 355 were injured.
Liu Yan's face darkened a lot when he heard this. After two raids, although the New Army won a complete victory, the New Army and the garrison battalions also paid a heavy price. Two thousand and one soldiers were killed alone. More than a hundred people and more than 2,600 wounded, most of whom are seriously injured, are still being resettled in Xinle County.
Liu Yan said: "Our army is engaged in mobile warfare. The wounded who remain in Xinle County must be transported away as soon as possible. In this way, each battalion must be reorganized immediately and return to Xinle County to garrison in half an hour. All battalions must be released overnight. Go out and kill the broken soldiers and rogue scouts around the army to cover up our army's movements."
"After we returned to Xinle County, we immediately recruited civilians from the city, and escorted more than 2,000 wounded soldiers to Jinan Fucheng, escorted by soldiers from the Guards Battalion. They were properly treated by Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong."
Miao Shao said worriedly: "Mr. Ge, although there is no large group of soldiers and horses to intercept the bandits from Xinle County to Jinan Fucheng, the road is far away and most of the wounded soldiers are seriously wounded. There will be many soldiers who cannot hold on. Come down."
"Then send more medical officers to accompany you. We must not leave the wounded to be placed on the battlefield. We are in a mobile war and there is no way to properly protect the wounded.
Yes, once the bandits find out, they will not only know our movements, but they will also kill the wounded! "
Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Chen Xun sighed after hearing this.
