Outside Anqing city, the base camp of the robbers.
Compared with the high morale of the Central Plains camp, the morale of the gangsters here is low. For example, Zhang Xianzhong, who is sitting high in the main seat at this time, is so dark that water can drip out...
You know that most of the three thousand horse troops sent out this time are his subordinates, but what about now? Just meat buns and beat dogs, don't you look back? Not to mention the loss of a general... Liu Jinzhong!
Liu Jinzhong is an old man who has followed him for several years! Served repeatedly, but now? I heard that the head is being picked high outside the gate!
"Jing Xuan, you don't have to be sad, after all, victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers." Luo Rucai, who had already heard the news at this time, said that he was in a bad mood and comforted.
"Ok-"
Zhang Xianzhong is worthy of being a generation of heroes, and he still has this aura. He just nodded and said: "Cao Ye, you are right, this account can only be settled slowly with the officers and soldiers in the future!"
Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's adjustment, Luo Ru nodded in satisfaction, and then he said: "Jing Xuan, but after the failure of this sneak attack on the grain road, our army is already at a slight disadvantage. After all, the officers and soldiers have received so much grain and grass. It is no longer possible to implement the plan that dragged him to death."
"Moreover, my subordinates have returned to visit the horse, and the governors of other provinces are also setting up encirclement circles. Therefore, our army should have a big battle with the officers and army as soon as possible! Otherwise, wait until the encirclement of officers and soldiers is 10%, our army will More passive!"
"Donkey ball, you can only do this—" Zhang Xianzhong was very depressed when he heard it, feeling that these officers and soldiers were getting more and more difficult!
Even as long as he thinks of this, he can't help but scold Yang Sichang, the current book of the Ministry of War!
After all, this is also very obvious, he used to command the subordinate Erlang, running around, how happy!
But now, since this Yang Sichang came to power, from the perspective of the overall situation of the country, he has engaged in a strategy of suppressing bandits with four corners and spreading the net, he feels that the pressure has increased...
The governors of the provinces are no longer sweeping the snow in front of the door. Instead, the Ming forces have begun to cooperate with each other. This makes it much more difficult for him to fight around, and this is also the factor that prompted him to send troops together with Luo Rucai this time. one.
Even in the original history, Yang Sichang was forced to commit suicide after his last ten attempts to open the net failed. The coffin was buried in his hometown of Wuling, Hunan. When Zhang Xianzhong, who had had enough of his suffering, captured Wuling, he opened the coffin and killed Yang Sichang. !
But now...
Zhang Xianzhong could only say with a stern face: "In this case, it can only be broken! Let's see if the fish died or the net broke!"
Anyway, both of them knew that regardless of the victory or defeat, if they flee without a fight, not only did they fail to win Anqing, but all their previous efforts were in vain!
And it's easy to be followed and killed by menacing officers and soldiers! It's going to be a disadvantage in an instant, so it's better to fight like this!
In this case, the two finally made a decision to have a decisive battle with the officer and army! A decisive battle that truly determines the fate of the Central Plains!
A day later, it was a cloudless weather, and the weather was a bit hot and dry, and then a peerless battle has begun again!
And this time the battle location was still in Tangtian Town before. After all, with such a large-scale battle with three to four hundred thousand people, it really wouldn't be possible if the place was small!
The two sides of this match are the rogue camp headed by the two thief Xiancao. After several previous consumptions, the total number of rogues has dropped to about 250,000, but it still has an absolute advantage.
As for the Central Plains camp, after several wars, the number has dropped to about 38,000, but in terms of quality, it has an absolute advantage!
So after the two sides set up a battle a mile apart, they both knew that this would be a fierce battle!
And this time the formation of troops in the Central Plains was still the same, with hard walnuts sandwiched between soft walnuts, and Zuo Liangyu's army next to the Xuanjia Army, which spread out with the word crane wing formation.
Moreover, the current officers and soldiers no longer have to worry about who will escape. After all, this is also very obvious. Liu Liangzuo is still not cold. If anyone dares to escape again, it is a lesson for the past!
As for Zhang Xianzhong, he is also nervously deploying troops...
Because they know very well that although they claim that there are still 600,000 people, but the real elites, that is, Ma Jun and Xiaoqi, after several losses, the total is worth 10,000 people, so they must use good steel. On the blade!
However, after investigating, they discovered that the formation of the opposing army was still the same as last time, centered on the Xuanjia army, and then spread out on two wings.
In this case, because he tasted the sweetness last time, Zhang Xianzhong immediately decided to adopt the good method of the last time, using mixed soldiers to hold the Xuan Jia army, and using elites to open the situation!
Even before the war, Zhang Xianzhong also boosted morale... As for the method, it is also very simple, that is, as long as you defeat the officer army and break Anqing, you can looting in Anqing city for three days... Three days without the sword!
And this is very strong for the gangsters. This Anqing is a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands. If you break the city, you will have enough food and drink. Needless to say, there are still a lot of money and women to take. Yuduo, how can we not let these hungry soldiers be tempted
"Long live the king!"
"Long live!"
After Zhang Xianzhong awarded this reward, countless hungry soldiers wrapped in red scarves shouted enthusiastically! What's more, the pieces of spears were raised like a sea of forests, and they were also very vigorous for a while!
In this way, after the two sides line up, the front line will stretch for nearly ten miles! From a distance, they are all like a forest of swords and guns, covering the sky and the sun!
And until the next moment, after the two sides are beating the drums, the battle will be fully launched in an instant!
Of course, the fiercest part of the battle still has to be the elites sent by Zhang Xianzhong!
Zhang Xianzhong’s gangsters can actually be divided into five classes, namely the hungry people, pawns, horsemen, Xiaoqi, and Laoyingjiakou.
When fighting, the hungry people are at the first level, the second infantry, the second horse army, and the second valiant rider. The old camp is at the innermost level. Generally, if the triple-strength force is broken, the valiant riders may be sent to fight to the death. If the valiant riders are assembled immediately He Laoyingjiakou quickly escaped!
In this way, they are elite, and it is easy to assemble an'army' again.
But now, Zhang Xianzhong still attacked the ordinary officers on the opposite side with his elite, so he started directly with the horse army, and the pawns followed!
And his handwriting is not small, the first wave of offensive is to dispatch 2,000 horse troops, plus 5,000 pawns who have risen from the hungry, just like this!
Only this time, Zhang Xianzhong and the others miscalculated... The opposite of them is not an ordinary officer, but the most elite Xuanjia army!
And that means you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder!
Since it was predicted that the robbers might repeat the same tricks, Lu Xiangsheng came up with a plan when he made the battle plan...
Let the Xuanjia Army and Xuanfu Town officers and soldiers exchange their banners, so that Xuanzhen officers and soldiers fought the blue flag, while Xuanjia Army fought the Qinglong Banner of Xuanfu Town.
Including the Xuanjia Army itself, it is no longer wearing the bright Shanwenjia, this is too obvious, but a mandarin duck battle jacket is put on the outside of the Shanwenjia, so that everyone can be seen.
And now, the gangsters were really fooled, treating the Xuanjia Army as an ordinary officer, and began to concentrate on the elite and fiercely attack!
"My lord, it's great, the gangsters have made this their main attack position! All the elites are coming up!" After the waiting Xuan Jia army generals saw it clearly, all of them were very excited.
And this is also very obvious. With the combat power of the Xuanjia Army, against those hungry soldiers who are not much stronger than cannon fodder, there is really no sense of accomplishment... But now, it is to fight against such an elite, that is the energy. !
And Yang Shanlu was also very happy when he saw it, hehe, he still wants to use the old way to deal with us, now you are miscalculating!
And at this time, the seven thousand elites of the rogues were rushing forward violently. They were only jogging at the 200 paces, but at the 150 paces, they were already running fast! Speed up the attack!
However, the Xuan Jia Army was quiet in this regard, and did not launch an attack.
And this is also very obvious. After all, banners and other things can be faked, but the power of the Xuanjia Army cannot be faked. If this is the new artillery fired, these rogues must know that the opposing officer is elite, and they will run away. if…
At this time, the messenger next to Yang Shanlu was already asking for instructions: "My lord, when can you launch an attack?"
"According to my order, you can only shoot after the enemy horse army enters the shooting range of the bird gun!" Yang Shanlu said without hesitation.
And this is the daring of Yi Gao people.
Generally speaking, the safer approach is to wait until the enemy has entered the * shooting range, and then you can fire. This way, although the result is smaller, it is more secure.
But now it's like this, even if it is a birdblade with a particle*, the shooting range is 90 steps, and at the speed of the horse army, the time can be reached in a few blinks!
If this is a team with a slightly weaker combat effectiveness, it is easy to be surprised, but now, Yang Shanlu has absolute confidence!
What kind of strength is the Xuanjia Army now! In front of the entire position, there are a total of more than 3,000 birdblade! It's still the kind equipped with particles*!
Not to mention the current defense distance of Yang Shanlu, but only more than 300 meters, that is to say, on average, every meter of range is equipped with a full ten blunderbuss! This density can be said to be a line of defense!
Therefore, Yang Shanlu has absolute confidence and can block the impact of Ma Jun! And as long as it is blocked, the harvest can be amazing...
Because after they were blocked, the rogues found something was wrong, and they would definitely have to turn around and escape. Then, during their escape, they could entertain them with * and then with solid bullets, so they were'escorted' out of the country all the way...
"Yes—" Since Yang Shanlu gave the order, the messenger quickly waved the flag and conveyed the combat order to each unit.
As for the Rogue Horse Army that was charging fast, it was found that the officer on the opposite side was indeed a weak brigade. Not only did it have no sophisticated artillery to help out, but even the sound of bird-shattering was only sparse!
And they were all of the poor quality birdclaws, and I saw that there was no damage in the smoke. (Actually, several officers of the Xuanjia Army released their guns in the sky according to Yang Shanlu’s instructions, so as to give them to the gangsters. The Ma Jun added to the fun, so that they can rush over with confidence!)
So in this way, the gangsters are even happier, all of them yelling wildly: "Haha, brethren! You can enter Anqing to grab a woman if you defeat the official army!"
To say that this group of horse soldiers became arrogant, the speed was still quite fast, and soon they rushed to a place about 90 steps in front of the formation, even close to the distance, even the eyebrows of the opposing officer were faintly discernible!
The 5,000 foot soldiers behind the horse army also charged desperately, forming a huge wave!
"Very good!" Seeing that this offense was even smoother than the previous few days, Zhang Xianzhong, who was watching the battle from the rear, saw him, and he was all excited and slapped his thigh straight...Looking like this, it is likely to be a good start today!
But the next moment, something unexpected happened to him... (End of this chapter)
