The horn sound of "woo woo woo" sounded in the sky beside the Yellow River.
This time the attack. The bandits had spent a lot of money, and they dispatched tens of thousands of people at once, a mixture of elite and ordinary soldiers, to attack the imperial camp.
What's more, right behind the first attacking team of ten thousand people, there was another team of ten thousand people following closely behind.
On the battlefield, there were constant messengers on horseback, running back and forth in the middle of the queue, loudly conveying Li Zicheng's general order: "The general has an order. Anyone in the front row who dares to retreat will not be afraid of the front row, and the back row will kill them!"
"In this battle, we must advance but not retreat. If we capture the imperial army camp, there will be many rewards!"
""
Obviously, Li Zicheng became ruthless. He had no good way to deal with the artillery and firearms of the officers and soldiers, except to use their heads to consume them. As for the tens of thousands of people in front of them, most of them would end up as cannon fodder.
At the same time, the bandit's cavalry also mobilized in large numbers, feinting on the left and right wings of the infantry to cover the infantry's attack. Of course, there is also the possibility of supervising the infantry and preventing them from escaping in both directions.
As for the camp of the imperial army, rows of artillery muzzles were all facing outside, and it was completely dark; the gunmen and archers were also ready.
As the saying goes, if there are tens of thousands of people, there will be a huge crowd.
This time, the bandit army attacked in successive waves in units of ten thousand people. At a glance, the entire plain was covered with the heads of bandits, which can be said to be quite spectacular.
It can also be seen from this posture that the bandits have spent a lot of money on the attack this time, hoping to achieve some results.
"Dong dong dong" the war drums were beating crazily, and the loud sound of drums, accompanied by the sound of horns, echoed over the battlefield. Seeing that another thrilling, or at least large-scale, war is about to begin in the Central Plains.
Slowly, the first wave of attacking bandit formations were getting closer and closer to the official camp. Everyone's eyes were focused on the place where it was about to begin.
At this moment, the bandits who were attacking at the front were about to enter the artillery range of the imperial army. Suddenly, some bandits no longer kept their formation and ran forward. stand up.
one, two, three
In just a moment, a large group of thieves were seen running forward.
Seeing this scene, Niu Jinxing was a little surprised. Are these cannon fodder reformers?
With this in mind, he quickly congratulated Li Zicheng and said: "General, it seems that killing one person in the army as a warning to others is effective. Now the morale can be used!"
If it had been in the past, these cannon fodder troops would have been timid in advancing. They would have been reluctant to attack. They would have to rely on the back to supervise the team to kill people and intimidate them before they would attack forward. But now they take the initiative. Launched an indomitable offensive against the imperial officers and soldiers, which not only exceeded Niu Jinxing's expectations, but also exceeded Li Zicheng's expectations.
Li Zicheng looked at this scene and listened to Niu Jinxing's compliment, feeling proud in his heart. Just when he was about to respond to Niu Jinxing, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed, and a scene that he had never expected appeared before his eyes.
I saw those soldiers rushing towards the imperial army camp. After getting away from the main formation for a certain distance, they all ran there while waving in the direction of the imperial army, as if greeting fellow villagers, shouting loudly What.
"???"
What's happening here? For a moment, everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
After fighting for so many years, this was the first time I saw such a strange scene before the formation.
Faintly feeling that something was wrong, Li Zicheng had long lost the pride in his heart, and his face darkened and he shouted: "What is going on? Who can tell me?"
No one around him spoke, including Niu Jinxing, who all looked ahead dumbfounded. They were too far away and couldn't hear what the soldiers were shouting.
But at this time, there was no need for anyone to say anything, because the situation on the battlefield could already answer Li Zicheng's question.
I saw the running and shouting soldiers of the bandits throwing away their weapons one after another, and when they continued running about a stone's throw away from the army camp, they all fell to the ground.
Can't run anymore? rest? sleep?
However, those who saw this scene quickly came to their senses. They took the initiative to surrender to the imperial army in front of the formation!
Damn it, there is such an operation?
At this moment, Li Zicheng and others were dumbfounded. In fact, not only him, but everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded.
The thieves in the first wave of attacking thieves were all dumbfounded when they saw that their accomplices in front of them had done such an incredible operation.
This is the first time that the two armies can still fight like this!
Well done, awesome bro!
Many bandits thought this in their hearts, and started running regardless of the situation, rushing forward, throwing away their weapons and taking up positions behind their companions in front.
"What are you doing? Come back, come back!" Seeing this situation, the elite thieves who were among the cannon fodder couldn't help but become furious, and at the same time a little frightened, they shouted loudly.
However, since those people ran away, how could they come back again? Of course they turned a deaf ear to their words!
As a result, some elite bandits aimed their weapons at them. However, in this case, short weapons were useless. Only the elite bandits with bows and arrows could kill people and establish their authority.
"Whoosh!" A few arrows were shot over, knocking over a few rogue soldiers who had just started running but were not far away.
"Whoever dares to run away again, this will be the fate!" The elite thieves quickly shouted threats, trying to prevent this kind of escape from happening.
Not to mention, this kind of threat was really effective. At least after they shot a few people and shouted loudly, the continuous escape situation slowed down a little.
However, it only slowed down slightly.
Attacking means death, and not attacking means death. Why should we continue to work for the bandits?
After a slight delay, more people began to escape.
Even behind the elite archery thieves, there were people who not only ran away, but also attacked these elite thieves from behind, killed them, and then continued to run forward.
Once this momentum of escape begins, it is impossible to reverse.
The elite thiefs wanted to stop them, but what greeted them were the angry looks and weapons of the ordinary thief soldiers.
Among the tens of thousands of square formations, there are only one or two thousand elite bandits. Under this momentum, the elite bandits who intercepted at the beginning were killed, and the other bandits were too frightened to move. They could only let the surrounding bandits swarm forward and surrender.
It only took about a quarter of an hour. Of the tens of thousands of bandits who attacked in the first wave, only about one or two thousand remained, standing there alone, neither attacking nor retreating. They were a little overwhelmed.
Not only that, but some people in the second wave of rogue thieves' attacking team had already begun to break away from the team and run forward. It is foreseeable that without special means, this second bandit's offensive formation will also fall apart.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Li Zicheng finally came to his senses and couldn't help but became furious and cursed repeatedly.
If those people were running back, it would be easy to deal with them. The supervising team behind them could just be cut down. However, if they ran towards the imperial officials and soldiers, it would be difficult to deal with them.
The most important thing is that this situation has never happened before. For a moment, Li Zicheng was a little overwhelmed.
Obviously, this is a sign that morale has hit rock bottom.
Song Xiance already had an idea and quickly suggested to Li Zicheng: "General, we can't attack this time. Send cavalry quickly to isolate the battlefield, otherwise the rear formation will collapse!"
After hearing this, Li Zicheng turned around and looked again. At this moment, he suddenly felt like vomiting blood.
In the first wave of square formations, there were one or two thousand elite thieves standing alone, but at this moment, about half of them also threw away their weapons and headed towards the imperial army camp. Ran!
"Quick, quick, send the flag and let Li Guo lead the troops to intercept them!" Li Zicheng shouted loudly and hurriedly gave the order.
At the same time, the golden sound of retreating troops also sounded rapidly.
Under the driving control of the elite bandits who were mixed with them, the rear army of the bandits immediately began to retreat slowly. The bandit's cavalry also stood in front of them to prevent anyone from escaping to the official army.
A massive war ended in an anticlimactic manner, without a single shot or artillery fire being fired by the imperial officers and soldiers.
Of course, Luo Rucai's troops in Moji also saw this scene. After experiencing the same stunned state, Luo Rucai couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he did not go out to fight. Otherwise, it is estimated that more people on his side would defect.
Among the imperial officers and soldiers, most people also found this situation inconceivable. But for Zhang Mingwei, everything was as expected.
Although except for the fighting on the first day, the following days seemed to be peaceful and there was no fighting. But in fact, on the battlefield without gunpowder smoke, he had already launched an offensive against the bandits. This situation now is just the time to reap the fruits of victory.
The imperial army's suppression of thieves was inherently just. If the previous court was unethical, let thieves have the confidence and reasons to be thieves. However, after a series of innovations, it has become attractive enough to break up the current bandits.
"Next, it's time for us to watch the show!" Zhang Mingwei looked at Li Zicheng's troops withdrawing their troops, then turned to look at Luo Rucai's troops, who were motionless, and said with a confident smile.
The generals were speechless after hearing this, and one of them, Zhou Yuji, couldn't help but sigh: "My lord, I have been fighting for so many years, but I have never fought a war like this!"
