Zhang Jun lost 2,500 to 600 infantry and no less than 3 to 400 horsemen in one attack. He suffered the most tragic defeat since entering Sichuan this time, accounting for almost 30% of the total force. ▲-八▲-八▲-Read ▲-Book,.◇.o≧

The main reason was that the enemy was arrogant and underestimated, and the opponent was carefully disguised. When Sergeant Zhang, who was about to chop melons and vegetables, found out that it was actually the White Army, the psychological gap was so great that it was difficult for him to accept it.

The two infantry units immediately gave up the attack and ran away. They fight to burn, kill and loot, and they burn, kill and loot to eat, drink and have fun. If they can't win, the rest will be all fantasy.

The Baigan Army happened to be the tough one in the Sichuan Army. Their best tactic was the steel front, and as long as their strength allowed, they could defeat any elite unit of the rebel army. Qin Liangyu was called a "female thief" by the leader of the rebel army, and it wasn't for nothing. .

Zhang Hualong and Wang Dingguo were both shocked when they fell into the trap. They couldn't believe that the "old female thieves" Baigan Army would deliberately disguise themselves during the battle to trick them into falling into their trap.

But the truth is so terrifying. As the fighting time continues to extend, more and more white poles are exposed, and the opponent's identity has been confirmed, and they can't help but believe it.

However, the four large formations in front of Guang Guang have no less than 20,000 people. If they are all white-pole troops, then the Yiyi Army will definitely not be able to win.

If there is only one large formation of the white-pole army, the rebels will grit their teeth and still eat it even if they give up four to five thousand men and horses.

The two large formations are white pole armies. Even if the rebels can win, they will be seriously injured and will have to avoid fighting and run away from now on.

Now if the Baigan Army has as many as 20,000 troops, then there is nothing to say. Let’s just keep fighting...

If they run too late, all of them will be eaten by the "tigress" on the opposite side.

Fortunately, it was discovered earlier, otherwise it would be difficult for even more than a thousand infantry to run back.

Six thousand soldiers fighting against 20,000 white soldiers can only win if their tactics are correct and the opponent makes serious mistakes.

Thinking about today's situation, everyone in Zhang Jun would have to bow his head and admit defeat, and it would be useless to yell and curse.

Gan's army only lost less than a thousand men, while Zhang's army lost more than 3,000 men. The battle loss ratio was nearly four times.

There is no doubt that after the whole army's disguise and battlefield command, Qin Liangyu gave the "Xian Thieves" a complete defeat.

"Mother, the child begs to fight!"

Ma Xianglin couldn't bear it anymore and let Zhang Xianzhong go, which was a pity.

"No! The 'sacrifice to the thieves' only cost three to four thousand soldiers and horses, which only accounted for less than 20% of the total. It was far from damaging the vitality. My son cannot underestimate the enemy just because he defeated the thieves in this battle. This time our army We were able to win because the bandit army underestimated the enemy!"

Qin Liangyu believed that the information provided by Xue Chengcai was not accurate, or that she did not fully believe the content provided by the thief general who surrendered after revolting.

Xue Chengcai said that Zhang Xianzhong only had 12,000 combatable troops, but Qin Liangyu could only estimate more when arranging his troops.

Otherwise, once the strength of the rebel army exceeds 15,000, or even approaches 20,000, it will be greatly detrimental to our own side, and we must be cautious.

The strength of the bandit army was estimated at 16,000. After destroying the 4,000 soldiers and horses of the "thieves" this time, the enemy only lost 25%, leaving about 75% left.

Therefore, Qin Liangyu would not let his son lead the troops to fight, unless other friendly forces cooperated and implemented a multi-way siege to achieve anything. ▲≥eight▲≥eight▲≥read▲≥book,.√.≧o

The "Xian Thief" who recognizes his own identity is a difficult opponent. He is definitely not a thief who can be killed in one battle. Qin Liangyu, who has fought with him before, knows this very well.

"This damn old village girl! Well... withdraw! Turn the entire army to the southeast and quickly leave the battlefield!"

Seeing that their own troops suffered a large-scale rout, the "Eight Kings" who wanted to blame or even whip their subordinates immediately gave up their previous ideas when they heard that the opposite side was Qin Liangyu's white-pole army.

After cursing, he no longer planned to engage in a life-and-death struggle with this elite force. Now that the officers and soldiers were numerous and powerful, his troops must not risk everything.

The only solution for now was to run away immediately, the faster the better. If he hesitated even a little, he would be surrounded and killed by the army. Zhang Xianzhong began to suspect that this was the army based on the intelligence provided by "One-stop". The trap laid.

Defeated again at the hands of that old village girl Qin Liangyu, the "Eight Kings" were so angry that they couldn't help but underestimate the enemy and fell into the trap again. There was nothing convenient and they couldn't think of a way to defeat the enemy. .

The only advantage is that after the previous plunder, the entire army has enough rations. In the future, there is no need to attack the city again for food. Anyone with good legs and feet can follow him to other places.

What the "Eight Kings" did was equivalent to selling out Luo Rucai and Hei Yunxiang who were fighting on Zhang Jun's right wing. They were fighting inextricably with the officers and soldiers led by Yang Yufan and Jiang Mingwu.

Suddenly, "Cao Cao" and "Zheng Shiwan" saw that the troops on their left suddenly collapsed, and they were immediately confused. Logically speaking, the "Eight Kings" were brave and good at fighting, and the attacking Sichuan army would not be defeated instantly. Come down, there must be something fishy about this matter.

Affected by this, the two men and horses also heard the news and began to flee backwards. As a direct result, all the infantry were eaten by the officers and soldiers who took advantage of the situation and launched a fang. They also lost hundreds of horse soldiers. The last one who ran out There are only more than a thousand horsemen.

Hei Yunxiang immediately denounced the "Eight Kings" as treacherous and greeted all the elders in Zhang Xianzhong's family. He suddenly gave up on what he had agreed upon, and by doing this he had harmed the entire rebel army.

Zhang Yichuan and Wu Ziqiang, who were fighting on the left flank of Zhang Jun, saw that Zhang Jun actually retracted and began to advance rapidly from their rear to the southeast. They knew that the situation had changed, and immediately gave up the attack on the official army, and followed Zhang Jun to escape from the battle. .

It can be said that it was not Qin Liangyu who influenced the battle, but the "Eight Kings". After Zhang Jun discovered the Baigan Army, the escape tactics adopted directly led to the complete defeat of the rebel army.

"Follow me! We can't let the bandits escape this time! We must kill them all!"

The Qin army's horsemen who were watching the battle on the west bank of the Jialing River could clearly see the troops. Upon seeing this, He Renlong immediately called his men to cross the river from the shallows. Our troops pursued for a long time, surrounded and killed the bandit army, and achieved great success today.

Li Guoqi, Zuo Guangxian, Zheng Jiadong and other general officers also led their troops to enter the offensive mode. Four thousand Qin army horsemen launched a fierce attack from the flanks on the rear of the two bandit armies, Luo Rucai and Hei Yunxiang.

"My son goes to battle quickly! Cooperate with the Qin army to surround and kill the traitor army! There must be no mistakes!"

The area along the river here is all plains, and there are mostly hills nearby. The terrain is relatively gentle, unlike the steep and mountainous areas in eastern Sichuan. When Qin Liangyu saw the Qin army's horsemen on the west bank began to cross the river quickly, he thought the time had come and sent his son Ma Xianglin to lead them. Department goes to war.

The Baigan Army only had two thousand horsemen, and Qin Liangyu estimated that the rebel army had at least tens of thousands of horsemen. Fighting alone would not gain any advantage, so he had to wait until the Qin army on the other side was willing to take the initiative to pursue the rebel army and use his own horsemen. in order to have the greatest impact.

At the same time, the four generals, Yang Yufan, Jiang Mingwu, Mou Wenshou, and Tang Tong, who were fighting alongside the Baigan Army on the east bank, also sent their own horsemen to fight. At one time, the number of official horsemen chasing the bandits was as high as about 10,000.

The main forward force of the invasion, who had been monitoring every move of the rebel army, also began to swoop in from behind, intending to engage in a front-to-back pincer attack with the friendly forces in front who were responsible for blocking the attack.

This group of troops includes 2,000 cavalry from Chief Bai Guangen, 2,000 horsemen from Chief Ma Ke, and 3,000 cavalry from Chief Liu Guoneng. The total strength is more than 7,000.

They did not alert the enemy at the beginning of the battle, but waited and watched from the rear. When the battle situation at the front began to be favorable to the officers and soldiers, they turned to seize the opportunity and launch a full-line attack.

In order to compete for military merit and try their luck to see if they could kill the thieves listed on the bounty order, the three chief military officers went into battle in person. Not even their own sons could pass up this good opportunity.

After the battle, the total strength of the bandit army had dropped to less than 14,000, and the number of official and horse soldiers involved in the pursuit alone was as high as more than 16,000.

In addition, the official infantry also had an overwhelming advantage, but unless the rebels surrendered themselves, these infantry would be of little use.

But its deterrence is still there. As long as there are infantry all over the mountains and plains, the rebels will not dare to escape to the north. They will definitely choose to go south, or they will find a way out of Sichuan as soon as possible.

In this campaign, there were 43,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Fu Zonglong, governor of Sichuan. Sun Chuanting commanded nearly 40,000 troops, and Hong Chengchou had more than 66,000 troops under his command.

The total number of officers and soldiers participating in the encirclement and suppression campaign reached 150,000, setting a historical record since the Chongzhen Dynasty and almost eight times the strength of the rebel army.

Previously, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting also understood their own strengths and weaknesses. The advantage was that they had strong troops, which were far superior to the rebel army. The disadvantage is that the native soldiers are weak, there are not many guest soldiers, and their mobility is poor.

Therefore, if we want to capture the bandits in one fell swoop, we must advance quickly and drive them westward. When we drive the bandits to the river and launch an attack when they cross the river, our chances of winning will be quite high.

The two finally persuaded Fu Zonglong to use the five cities in eastern Sichuan as bait to lure the bandits into underestimating the enemy and advance rashly. They then sent various troops to outflank and intercept them in the Nanchong area.

If possible, we can conduct a strategic decisive battle here and strive to surround and kill the bandits who have fled into Sichuan on the banks of the Jialing River.

The prerequisite for implementing this encirclement and suppression plan is to understand the rebel army's intention to invade, and Xue Chengcai, who surrendered after revolting, is the best candidate.

Based on the information provided by them, the officers and soldiers can grasp the general movements of the rebel army, and understand the current strength and ordnance supply situation of the rebel army, so as to know ourselves and the enemy.

Xue Chengcai, who returned to the army, also received Sun Chuanting's support because of his success in doing things, and he would soon report his achievements to the court.

If nothing else goes wrong, I and my family will be exempted from the crime, and the family property will be returned together. As for whether I can be promoted a step higher, it depends on how much the military officers and soldiers can capture, especially those "big fish" that have been coveted for a long time. .

"Fuck! The damn dog officers and soldiers will kill more and more!"

Hei Yunxiang galloped on his horse, and suddenly found that the number of officers and soldiers surrounding him were as numerous as a cow's hair. They killed one group after another, almost continuously, comparable to an extremely annoying swarm of flies.

In the past, "One Dragon" Xue Chengcai suddenly rebelled, and in the latter, "Eight Great Kings" Zhang Xianzhong withdrew his troops first. With these two scammers acting as a hindrance, it was surprising that the rebels could win.

The most irritating thing is that because the two troops of Hei Yunxiang and Luo Rucai were the last to escape, they became the group that cut off the enemy in front, and they were the key targets of the army.

"Follow me! Capture Luo Rucai! Reward fifty thousand taels of silver!"

Yang Yufan, Jiang Mingwu, Ma Xianglin and the four generals of the Qin army who came across the river, He Renlong, Li Guoqi, Zuo Guangxian and Zheng Jiadong, had more than 7,000 men and horses, and surrounded the bandit army with less than 2,000 horsemen.

"Kill the Luo thief! Receive the money!"

The troops were superior in strength and morale was strong. In addition, the imperial court offered an extremely high silver reward. Encouraged by the generals, the officers and soldiers fought without hesitation and launched a final siege against the trapped bandits.

"Give me a boost! Even if a man dies, he will be honored!"

Hei Yunxiang and Luo Rucai were blocked. They both realized that they might not be able to escape, but as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, they had to fight hard and were determined not to fall into the hands of the army. The crime of rebellion would be punished. Those who were escorted to the capital to show off.

"Dog officers and soldiers! Go to hell!"

The thieves who can follow here can be regarded as the confidants of the two leaders, not to mention personal soldiers, but they can be regarded as direct subordinates. Facing an official army three times their own, they are still unwilling to lay down their weapons and are still in a corner. He resisted and planned to escape and ascend to heaven.

"Don't let anyone go! Kill them all!"

The government and the army do not intend to recruit these rebellious traitors again. Except for those traitors who are particularly useful and qualified to offer prisoners to the capital, all others will become victims of the sword. If they are allowed to breathe, one day He rebelled against the imperial court again.

The general officers who came for a long-distance attack also knew that this thousand-mile pursuit had taken so much effort. If they had to let the generals run away in the end, they would not have to wait for the commander-in-chief or the court to blame them. They might as well have crashed into a tree and died. never mind.

Seeing the banner with the word "Luo" in the formation, and another thief in the formation being defended to death by his own soldiers, everyone realized that Luo Rucai was trapped. 50,000 taels of silver were close at hand. As long as they fought hard and fought hard, they would have a chance. This silver mountain has been touched.

For the four general officers of the Qin Army, it was a great regret that Luo Rucai escaped last time in Yun County. They must not repeat the same mistake this time. No matter how much the price is paid, Luo Rucai must be killed here. beheaded.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was worth 150,000 taels of silver, ran away, but Luo Rucai, who was worth less than the "thief", had to die in front of his eyes. We couldn't all work for a long time while the "big fish" took advantage of the chaos and slipped away.

Although the thieves and soldiers resisted extremely fiercely, their numbers were still rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the heroic stranglehold of many officers and soldiers.

As long as they can knock down the thieves and soldiers on the opposite side, the officers and soldiers will do anything they can, including hacking, assassination, cold arrows, cannons, lassoes, flying hammers, and even the Song army's method of chopping the horse's legs against the Jin army's "Iron Buddha". All used.

The officers and soldiers knew from top to bottom that if they let "Cao Cao" slip away while serving, they would not know how many years and months it would take before they encountered him again, and how many miles they would have to travel to catch him.

Today, we must fight to the death to keep the "Luo Thief". People can't move, and horses can't move. If we can't kill the enemy temporarily, we will kill all his horses first, so that the enemy can't fly.

Luo Rucai, who realized that his troops were getting fewer and fewer, couldn't help but feel nervous. He really felt that his end was coming, and maybe this was his burial place. 11... Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network" and you will find this site as soon as possible.
