The fierce battle between Ma Bao and Chen Yongfu did not last long. More than 20,000 soldiers from the front and right battalions of the New Army led by Chen Xun and Wang Bo came over and killed them.
The two large horizontal formations of the new army swept over directly, and the fierce volleys of cannons were like a storm, instantly flattening the crowd in front. Thousands of thieves and horses who were cutting each other were killed and injured in a mess. Ma Bao was also hit by several cannons. Unwillingly, he fell into a pool of blood.
At this time, Chen Yongfu was also injured in many places, and there were still a dozen personal guards left around him. He looked at the battlefield littered with corpses around him, and looked at the more than 20,000 new troops not far away who had bayonets fixed and were launching a charge. The soldier, Chen Yongfu, suddenly burst out laughing, laughing crazily with tears on his face. Then, under the horrified gaze of the surrounding guards, he swung his knife and killed himself.
The battle in the north came to an end. Chen Xun and Wang Bo led their troops to push forward the entire northern battlefield. The left and right battalions of the new bandit army were defeated in one battle, leaving only 20,000 knights under Wu Sangui's command to withdraw from the battlefield.
At the same time, the war in the south of Dingzhou has also come to an end.
Under the command of Liu Fangliang, the soldiers and horses of Liu Fangliang's Zuoying Camp continuously attacked the soldiers of the New Army's rear camp in the defense line outside the city. With the help of some improvised shield vehicles, the dead soldiers of Liufan Zuoying also rushed to the first place. The front of the defense line.
But that's all. Most of the so-called shield carts were hand carts with some support boards installed on them. Under the volleys of cannon fire from the soldiers of the rear camp of the New Army and the bombardment of thunder, the rogue Zuoying The 70,000 dead soldiers suffered heavy casualties. At least more than 30,000 corpses were left in front of the new army's formation, and then they fled in panic.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Guoyi's general Ma Shiyao led 10,000 firemen
The musketry soldiers came forward, still using the usual tactics after the bandit battalions were reorganized. Ten thousand fire musketeers formed a formation and fired at the new army's bird musketeers. The results can be imagined.
The 10,000 thieves and gunmen only lasted for less than half an hour before being defeated, and more than 2,000 people were shot and killed. When General Zuo Guoyi, Ma Shiyao, was escaping, he was discovered by the pursuing new saber shieldmen and directly used Two thunderbolts were taken away.
Immediately afterwards Liu Rukui, the mighty general of the bandit camp on the left and right, led 50,000 armored soldiers into the battle. These bandit armored soldiers were quite powerful. The whole army advanced in a shield formation, but after losing thousands of people, they charged in forcefully. After entering the first line of defense, Kang Hui, the general on the left side of the New Army's rear battalion, was forced to order bayonets to be fixed, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat for nearly an hour.
Finally, Wang Yue personally led the soldiers from the middle and right camps of the rear camp to come to support. After Liu Yan received the military information, he also sent the sixth battalion of the garrison to support. Then he pushed back and killed the 50,000 armored soldiers from the left camp. Got a big defeat.
Outside the first line of defense, Wang Yue sat tiredly on the ground. The soldiers of the rear battalion of the New Army in front were building a line of defense and shooting at the defeated soldiers on the battlefield.
Next to him, Tian Zhenbei, the deputy commander of the sixth battalion of the garrison, also sat down and said: "It's really dangerous. These rogue soldiers and horses are really like chicken blood, and they can actually rush into the defense line!"
Wang Yue said: "Yeah, I didn't expect it either. But now it's better. After withstanding this wave, I think Liu Fangliang won't be able to bounce back for much longer!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were roars in front of him. Wang Yue and Tian Zhenbei's expressions changed drastically, and they shouted in unison: "Flowing Thief Knight!"
At this time, the bandit Zuoying Zuo Mighty General Li Jin led
Leading 30,000 brave cavalry, they rushed over in a mighty manner. The army even ignored the fleeing armored soldiers, dead soldiers, and gunmen on the battlefield. They rushed directly and went straight to the rear camp of the new army and the sixth battalion of the garrison that were gathering outside the defense line. Soldiers.
Because the battlefields on three sides outside Dingzhou City had already entered a state of anxiety, all the artillery on the city's head had stopped bombarding, and the knightly cavalry army had no resistance at this time and rushed forward at the highest speed.
Wang Yue immediately roared: "Fire!"
Thousands of gunmen from the two battalions opened fire at the same time, and the fierce firepower instantly swept across the front, killing most of the Cavalry forwards who rushed forward.
"Fire the bayonet!"
At this time, it was too late for the rear camp of the New Army and the sixth battalion of the garrison to withdraw within the defense line, so Wang Yue directly ordered bayonets to be fixed. Tian Zhenbei also hurriedly moved the spearmen in the camp to the front to block the enemy cavalry. More than ten thousand soldiers roared and started fighting with the rushing bandits Xiaoqi.
"die!"
Li Jin rode his horse and knocked away a New Army captain, and then pierced another New Army soldier with the spear in his hand.
But immediately afterwards, Li Jin's war horse was stopped by more than a dozen glaring bayonets. Even the war horse was frightened and stood up, as did the Liuthiefang Xiaoqi behind him.
Looking at the new army and garrison soldiers who were not afraid of life and death and rushed up in formation to engage in close combat with the cavalry army, Li Jin was horrified. What kind of enemy is this!
Just now, when the armies of the two sides had just come into contact, Li Jinzeng saw with his own eyes a large number of new army and garrison soldiers being knocked away by the galloping cavalry. However, the officers and soldiers did not waver at all, and still used bayonets and spears to kill the cavalry.
The soldiers used a dense phalanx and a lot of casualties to stop the army of 30,000 knights, and the two sides immediately started a melee!
At this time, Li Jin blocked the left and right, and the subordinates around him also fought to the death, but they were still injured by the bayonet. Li Jin's body already had more than a dozen wounds, and the blood dyed his armor and clothes red. The severe pain made Li Jin Jin kept roaring.
Not far away, Wang Yue was attracted by the roar and found Li Jin who was riding his horse to fight. He immediately shouted: "Kill him! Kill him for me!"
The two sword and shield wielders nearby rushed forward and threw two thunderbolts without hesitation.
"Shaking thunder!"
When the soldiers of the New Army and the garrison who were fighting in the front heard the shouts of the two sword and shield men, they immediately retreated like a tide, leaving behind Li Jin and dozens of rogue knights who didn't know what was going on.
boom!
After two loud noises in succession, Li Jin and dozens of knights around him were blown to pieces. Li Jin was directly killed by the explosion. Dozens of knights were also killed and wounded more than twenty people. The remaining knights turned around with their livers and gallbladders broken. escape.
"Ha ha!"
Wang Yue shouted like crazy, "Fight me and I'll blow you up!"
On the other side, Tian Zhenbei had already issued an order to counterattack. The soldiers of the rear battalion of the New Army and the sixth battalion of the garrison advanced one after another. At this time, Li Jin's battle flag had fallen, and there were more than 20,000 brave knights remaining on the battlefield. They were horrified to find that the general had died in battle. Suddenly the battle was over and they all fled on horseback.
At this time, Liu Fangliang, who was in the center of the left camp of the rogue bandits, looked at the retreating Qianqi army, with a sad look on his face, and said to Liu Rukui, the mighty general on the right who had just escaped, "Withdraw the troops!"
"
General! "
Liu Rukui said sadly and angrily: "We still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and we can continue to fight. As long as the other battalions come to support after winning, the battle will be won. Why should the general withdraw his troops!"
Liu Fangliang said desperately: "Liu Yan's troops are attacking more with less in three directions, but have you received any success reports from other battlefields? No! This means that other places are just like us and cannot win!"
"Withdrawing now can preserve some vitality for Dashun. If we continue to fight, Dashun will really be over!"
Liu Rukui burst into tears at this time. The battle flags of Ma Shiyao and Li Jin fell down one after another, and the army was defeated by Liu Yan's tribe. Now the army is about to retreat, but Liu Rukui still can't let go in his heart.
So Liu Rukui said: "The general will lead the Chinese army to go first, and the last general will stop the rear here!"
Liu Fangliang looked at Liu Rukui meaningfully, and seeing his firm attitude, he had no choice but to say: "Come back alive!"
Liu Fangliang then led more than 2,000 Chinese troops, as well as hundreds of knights 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 formations on the spot. Soon the troops from the rear camp of the New Army and the sixth battalion of the garrison in front came over, and large groups of defeated troops also came. Escaped from the north.
Liu Rukui wanted to order people to gather the defeated soldiers into the formation to block the pressing army of Liu Yan, but it was to no avail. At this time, the defeated soldiers only hated their parents for giving them two legs and would not stop at all. There were even many defeated soldiers who directly killed the bandit soldiers and horses who blocked them.
Seeing this situation, Liu Rukui turned pale and immediately shouted loudly
: "All soldiers! Follow me and fight to the end, and be loyal to Dashun!"
The military formation composed of thousands of broken troops was crumbling, but under Liu Rukui's command, it was able to maintain it.
Soon, Wang Yue and Tian Zhenbei led the soldiers of the rear camp of the New Army and the sixth battalion of the garrison to kill. More than 20,000 elite soldiers directly surrounded the thousands of bandits, but they did not rush forward to fight directly. He maintained a distance of dozens of steps from the defeated bandits.
In this battle, the rear camp of the New Army and the Sixth Battalion of the garrison suffered heavy casualties. Wang Yue and Tian Zhenbei were so filled with hatred that they directly ordered a volley of cannon fire. They stood dozens of steps away and killed thousands of people including Liu Rukui. The thieves and soldiers were "shot to death" collectively!
Amidst the roar of cannons, Liu Rukui led a large group of bandit soldiers to charge, but they could not charge through at all. Thousands of bandit soldiers and horses, including Liu Rukui, were all shot and killed. Corpses were everywhere in the encirclement and blood flowed into rivers. .
"Report to Mr. Ge immediately!"
Wang Yue immediately sent someone to report the great victory on the southern front to Liu Yan. At the same time, together with Tian Zhenbei, he commanded the soldiers of the rear camp of the New Army and the sixth battalion of the garrison to form a guard 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. He smiled and said to Miao Shao and Xu Ming beside him: "Okay! I can't believe that it was the southern battlefield that ended the battle first. .”
Miao Shao smiled and said: "That's good now, Wang Yue can brag for a while."
At this moment, Chen Xun also sent someone to deliver good news. The left and right camps of the new bandit 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 Zeyue
He said eagerly: "Mr. Ge, now that the fighting in the north and south is over, it's time for the cavalry battalion to attack, right?"
Liu Yan said with a smile: "Okay! You immediately lead the cavalry battalion to attack from the west city gate, but instead of attacking the middle camp of the bandits, you go directly to the old camp of the bandits!"
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yan said to the messenger next to him: "Order the New Army's front camp and right camp to the north, as well as the New Army's rear camp and the Sixth Battalion of the garrison to the south, to immediately reorganize their troops and mount a flanking attack to the west! "
"yes!"
After some arrangements, Liu Yan was reassured and the smile on his face became brighter.
But Miao Shao complained and said: "Mr. Ge, please don't let the Guards Battalion station in the rear next time. In this battle, the Guards Battalion soldiers didn't even get a single head!"
Liu Yan sighed: "Next time? There won't be many battles like this in the future!"
Miao Shao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then laughed.
Yes, after Li Zicheng's defeat, the world will no longer have internal worries, and the people can rest and recuperate.
Outside Dingzhou City, Liu Yan's order was quickly conveyed to all the battalions. The new army and garrison battalions on the south and north sides began to move to the west. The cavalry battalion led by Xu Ming was also leaving the city from the west gate. The final battle was The time is coming.
