Chapter 376(1/2)
: Thunderbolt shook the clouds
Xin Guerrilla's three thousand cavalry were used to hearing the sound of cannons, but in order to minimize the fear of their own war horses, they still stuffed the war horses' ears tightly to prevent being shocked by grenades.
The sky was bright, and the three thousand iron cavalry were like an irresistible torrent. Facing the rising sun and the morning wind, rushing towards the white-clothed army who were retreating in the whole army. The sword light was shining and standing like a forest.
As Yang Ling expected, it would not matter if he was frustrated in the siege, but the entire army immediately moved after the frustration. There was no reasonable explanation for the soldiers, or there was no time to explain. For an untrained army, it seriously damaged their spirits and caused various speculations.
Especially in order to seize the time to evacuate, the army gathered in a hurry. The troops that were sieging the city had long lost their formation. Now, in order to return to their own teams, they are running back and forth. The soldiers cannot find generals, and the generals cannot find soldiers, which seems extremely chaotic. The officials and assistants shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers cursingly.
Some soldiers heard about the encirclement of the imperial army, but did not know the details. The generals of the Yang Hu army were not used to making detailed communication with the soldiers. Because they did not understand the situation, they saw that generals and subordinates from top to bottom were nervously ordered the troops to gather and move quickly. The number of officers and soldiers and the unfavorable situation around them were invisibly exaggerated several times, or even ten times, in the hearts of the morale.
In this situation, Xin Guixi's cavalry launched an attack and suddenly appeared in front of the White-Clothed Army. I think Xin Qiji, the guerrilla family, led fifty light cavalry to attack the Jin army camp in the past, captured the traitor Zhang Anguo alive and returned safely, but that was the case. They rushed into the White-Clothed Army's team in awe of shock and in their unbelievable surprise.
Since the formation of 50,000 people, the Yang Hu army has never taken a defensive position. It doesn’t matter if there are any flaws when attacking. In the past, small troops could counterattack and avoid them even when attacking. However, this was the first time that the large army had been transferred and the camp was in chaos.
Moreover, the opponent was the most elite and good at fighting the border cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, they actually made two most common sense mistakes: one was that the army had not been assembled, but the chief general of the central army first set out to move forward. Yang Hu's thinking was that the elder brother was charging forward and set an example for the younger brothers, but in this way, the chaotic army would be in the event of an accident. The other was that the army was transferred, leaving behind the strongest and most trusted confidant troops who had the strongest combat power and the most trustworthy confidant troops.
The cavalry of the Ming army set up a defensive posture on the main traffic roads. Jinan has set up a suspicious formation again, and there are no soldiers and soldiers at the intersection. These actions gave Yang Hu an illusion: the Ming army was going to wait for the infantry to arrive, and another encirclement around Tai'an City to surround him.
This lord general who lacked basic military knowledge led 100,000 soldiers, using the three thousand bandits' fighting style back then, and thus commanded his army to a chaotic situation where he could not carry out an effective counterattack.
Seeing this scene, Xin Guerrilla was not polite. Three thousand iron cavalry kicked and kicked the swords. They did not stop at all. The entire iron cavalry was in a cone shape, like cutting pork to death, and opened a bloody road from the sensational Yang Hu army and rushed in.
The tigers enter the flock of sheep probably the same situation today. The white-clothed army is definitely not a lamb to be slaughtered, but in this situation, even a living god cannot command the army to fight back.
Those who were dismantling the tents, tied up food immediately, bandaged the wounded ground, retreated from the position, and were stealing empty holding pickles and dried food, and ate them hard, walking around the crowd, looking for their own flag. Moreover, people were crowded, and when Xin Guixi suddenly cut open and rushed in, many people didn't know what had happened.
Wherever three thousand iron cavalry passed, it was like an iron plow arching a layer of fertile soil. The "silt" rolled to both sides as the "iron plow" advances, and a deep ditch was plowed, and the deep ditch was covered with blood red.
Xin Guerrilla quietly calculated the position. He originally wanted to break into the hinterland of Yang Hu's army, and take advantage of the chaos to rush to the place close to the rear. If he encounters a strong obstacle, he will turn back and throw out the grenade when approaching the edge of the army. Otherwise, the torrent of the army would form a torrent of the terrible force, which would not be stopped by human power.
If that happens, his three thousand cavalrymen are probably not dead at the hands of Yang Hu's army. However, they will be trampled to death by the trampling of thousands of troops. Unexpectedly, the attack came in unexpectedly. Xin Guerrilla became confident. He decided to kill a man from the crowd and throw a grenade when he hits the opposite side.
Yang Hu's army was walking around the city in a long and narrow formation, and the direction was Taipingzhuang. Xin's guerrilla cavalry was like a wedge, inserted into his brigade and fought against the opposite side. The white-clothed army in front was still unknown, but when he heard the screams of the horses, Xin's guerrilla men and horses rushed forward. The white-clothed army in the rear rushed to chase him and had already fought with Xin's guerrilla rear team.
When Xin Guerrilla saw that the empty land was exposed in the distance, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy: As long as you rush forward thirty feet, you can throw grenades. The arrogant white-clothed army and the local buns who have never seen the world, let you taste the power of this new type of weapon.
At this time, Peng Xiaoyang led more than 20 personal soldiers to rush to the intersection happily. He saw the white-clothed army people rushing over, and Xin's guerrillas slashing the waves and disappeared. Peng Xiaoyang couldn't help but be shocked.
He is a hero on the water and a hero in the southern country. His horse skills are ordinary, so he ran for the past half a day. With his martial arts, he was not afraid of the white-clothed army, but he had no courage to let him rush into this horse team that could not see the edge.
Peng Xiaoyang jumped off the horse and stuffed a large grenade into the grenade launcher. A personal soldier next to him said nervously: "General, you... can you do this?"
Peng Xiaoyang said indifferently: "Don't worry, when Miss Adni was teaching the Beijun on the school ground, the man stood by and watched it. This thing is simple and much easier than driving a boat and sail. If you stay away, you will spit fire behind you."
When several personal soldiers heard this, they quickly walked around the sides. Peng Xiaoyang carried a cannon and glanced left and right, looking at the front of them, and didn't know where to fight. At this time, a personal soldier pointed at a large flag in the army in the right front and shouted: "General, look at Yang Hu's military flag, blow it up, kill the general and seize the flag. If you can't kill the general, blowing up his flag is also a great achievement."
When Peng Xiaoyang heard that it was reasonable, he quickly stood up straight, carried a cannon on his shoulder, and aimed at the direction of the big flag in the army.
At this time, the chaotic white-clothed army had already discovered more than twenty treacherous officers and soldiers standing in the distance. They didn't rush forward, but they just got off the horse and stood there, wiggling. The leader should be a general, and he didn't know what he was doing with a chimney, so he immediately called him to bow and arrow.
"General, be careful of bows and arrows!" the personal soldier shouted anxiously.
Peng Xiaoyang had just ignited the grenade launcher, and when he heard this, he subconsciously squatted down. With a bang, a large grenade drilled out of the cannon and shot at the white-clothed army shakingly. It was dozens of feet away from the big flag.
Peng Xiaoyang was secretly annoyed, threw the cannon barrel and jumped up, pulled out two bright short harpoons, and shouted loudly: "When his mother, which little turtle is bad for me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar was heard, and the ground shivered, and the shaking feeling was like returning to a ship. With a "clang", Peng Xiaoyang threw away the steel fork. He looked into the distance with his tongue, and saw a large cloud of black smoke rising from the landing bullets. The explosion of air waves threw more than 20 people, war horses, and the broken car body to a height of fifteen or sixteen feet.
Peng Xiaoyang stammered: "What's wrong. I haven't seen such a big noise at the school ground. Why is it more powerful than cannons?"
A personal soldier next to him said tremblingly: "General... General, stop thinking about it, hurry up... Go quickly, go quickly. The horses exploded."
After a moment of silence and calmness, a terrifying sound came from the entire white-clothed army, which was the terrifying neighing sound of tens of thousands of war horses at the same time. Then, the war horses exploded, rushing and running wildly, like waves trapped in a reef group. They fought desperately and crowded, tearing up everything that could be torn apart.
The war horses on the edge found their way out and began to flee in all directions. Hundreds of war horses rushed up desperately, some of which had immediately had knights, and some had overturned their landlords. The crazy spirit made Peng Xiaoyang, who had never seen so many tall horses running towards him, and the water bandits' personal soldiers panicked.
"Uh? Ah! Run!" Peng Xiaoyang shouted and turned around and ran. He jumped onto the horse's back, grabbed the saddle with one hand, and slapped the horse's butt with the other hand, kicking and kicking the horse's butt with both legs. The horse was already shocked by the explosion, and its four hooves seemed to be nailed to the ground, motionless.
Only a horse was neighing, and the sound of hooves was like thunder. Dozens of war horses swept past him and swept over like a gust of wind. At this time, his land horse suddenly came back to his senses. With a long neigh, he immediately followed the horses and ran wildly. Peng Xiaoyang screamed "ah". From a distance, his body was surging around on the horse's back and floating up and down, just like the last leaf in the autumn wind...
Yang Ling hurried down the hillside, and his heart was filled with a sensation: Such a loud noise is not like the sound of a grenade explosion.
Adni's transformation of ground grenades must be small, easy to carry, and have sufficient explosive power. At that time, the gunpowder was effective. In order to increase lethality, the outer iron sheet was constantly thinning, and it only played the role of packaging. It all relied on the internal iron hooks, iron sheets, and steel balls that hurt people. How could such a loud noise?
Could it be that some soldier accidentally detonated all the grenades on his body? If this human bomb exploded, it would cause a chain reaction, and the first one would be the three thousand elite cavalry in his own land.
Yang Ling carefully observed the process of sending troops from the sound horses and robbing troops in Dezhou City, and also asked the defeated soldiers who fled to Dezhou in detail about the combat characteristics of the white-clothed army. He attacked like a tiger, defended like a loose sand, changed formations, and moved the army without any rules, as if he was retreating.
Therefore, his original plan was to set up encirclements of various cavalry, intimidate the void soldiers, forcing Yang Hu to withdraw his troops and transfer them, and use him to gather the army's formation to attack and attack from all sides when the army was in chaos, and the elites broke through. Since obtaining Adni's improved grenade, Yang Ling decided to make small changes to the original plan, using grenades as a trigger, and transforming a large number of war horses from the white-clothed army into weapons.
Use grenades to make the white-clothed army fight horses explode. Once the war horses explode, they can use them to fight against a large number of war horses in the officers and soldiers, and they can exert the power of a hundred thousand elite troops. People are like tides and horses are like landslides. Even if they step on each other, they are enough to make the white-clothed bandits in such a concentrated area, and the damage of the officers and soldiers may be reduced to the minimum proportion.
Due to its proper operation, the enemy's battles were not without its wars of ten times more than ten times more than ten times more than ten times more than ten times more than ten times more than ten enemy soldiers in the battle of "Tumu Fort". In the battle of "Tumu Fort", the Oirat Grand Tutor had no more than 30,000 people. Five hundred thousand Ming troops were killed by him, with blood flowing and corpses piled up like mountains. On average, each Tartar killed more than ten officers and soldiers, but his casualties were minimal. Even the Ming army organization was disintegrated and he had no intention of fighting. The Yesendi people were just chasing a group of "refugees" who were only concerned about escaping and no one organized resistance.
The bombing of a camp is a matter for any disciplined army to be helpless. It is said that Yang Hu's army has no discipline at all, and it is the iron army with the strictest military discipline. Once the camp is bombed, it will be trampled on by thousands of troops. Even if Sun Wu is reborn, he can only do nothing. So many grenades are not enough to roar on the Dangyang Bridge?
Yang Ling was very confident in his heart and made the right judgment. With this battle, he might become a famous general who has been famous throughout history. Now, he suddenly heard this inexplicable loud noise, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
As soon as Yang Ling walked down the foot of the mountain, he saw a horse galloping in the distance and rushed over with an unstoppable and fierce attitude. Before she could think about it, Yang Ling immediately shouted: "Trick Marsso!"
Several ropes bounced up on both sides of the road, and the horse rushed too fast. They broke two ropes one after another, and then the horses rose into the air and fell forward more than one foot. With a "boom", they hit the knight who had fallen out first, breaking his bones. Then several more horses rushed over, and a group of people were overturned, and all the tripping ropes were broken.
There are also deer antlers, traps in horse pits, and resists rifles in front of them. These weapons are used to deal with frightened horses. They do not know how to dodge them at all. Officers and soldiers can harvest their lives by hiding by the roadside, and the white-clothed thieves do not pay a considerable price. Don’t try to siege this dead area. When they rushed out, they have become a group of scammers, unorganized, and unmoved straitors, and can they still deal with officers and soldiers who are waiting for their hard work?
Seeing the frightened horse tributary, Yang Ling expected that the plan had not failed and was relieved half of his worries, but there was still a question lingering in his mind: What exactly, how could the explosion sound so loud?
The horse thieves who were on the horse were trying their best to control the crazy galloping horses. They could only hold the reins tightly or hold the saddle tightly. The officers and soldiers on both sides of the road were leisurely shooting the robbers with muskets and crossbows, which was completely one-sided slaughter.
At this moment, someone in the horse team that continued to rush in shouted: "Don't shoot! Don't shoot arrows! It's me, it's me!"
When Yang Ling heard the sound, he poked his head out from the huge rock bunker by the roadside. He saw a running war horse. Peng Xiaoyang held the saddle firmly with his hands. As the war horse galloped and rolled, his legs had already escaped from the stirrups, and his butt was stumbled, like a broken piece of bag on the horse's back.
Fortunately, he was able to withstand bumps all year round, and his arms were extremely strong, so he could still lean on the horse. There were few personal soldiers in his place, and they all abandoned their horses and rolled to the side of the road halfway.
Yang Ling remembered that there were ambushers and deer antlers in front of him, resisting horse rifles, trapping horse pits and other traps, and couldn't help but shout: "Don't shoot arrows, Xiaoyao, abandon the horse quickly, abandon the horse quickly!"
Peng Xiaoyang could not hold on any longer. When he heard Yang Ling's call, he pushed the saddle suddenly and rolled outward, and fell to the ground with a loud noise, and turned to the side of the road. A galloping horse behind him was just as he rolled to the side of the road, Xuanzhi ran over to his body.
Peng Xiaoyang rolled and crawled away a few more steps, and stood in a dirt-faced manner and said, "It's so scary, it's so scary!"
Yang Ling hurriedly asked someone to pull him to the stone congregation on the side of the road, and asked, "What happened? Something exploded just now, why did it make such a loud noise."
"It's so scary, it's so scary," Peng Xiaoyang grabbed his messy hair and said in a daze: "I just fired a shot and it turned out like this. The things made by Miss Adni are so scary!"
Peng Xiaoyang fired that shot, by chance, and it happened to land on a carriage. The gunpowder seized by the white robber was placed on the carriage. Since the projectiles used by the cannon were reported, the gunpowder was not available for the time being. The white robber also knew that gunpowder was a good thing, so when he heard that the army was about to transfer, he brought them all into the carriage. He wanted to take them away together, but he didn't expect that the chariot of gunpowder had become the root of disaster.
The power of the powder barrel exploded far exceeds that of the grenades carried by the Jingqi, the explosion site, and a large pit several meters in radius was blown up at the explosion site. The explosion center threw all the white-clothed troops, tanks, vehicles and supplies from the interior ten meters in radius into the air. The huge air wave pushed the people within dozens of meters out in a ring shape, pushing and crushing them together.
Xin Guerrilla also heard a deafening loud noise. Before he could think about it, the horses bombing camp caused by the loud noise began. The officers and soldiers led by Xin Guerrilla were familiar with the explosion sound. They all blocked their ears. Although they were panicked for a moment, they were already controlled by their superb knights. However, the commotion of the horses was infectious to their kind, and all the surrounding horses were roaring and running wildly, affecting the horses of the officers and soldiers, and they were uncontrollably communicating.
The impact and squeeze caused by the war horse bombing camp was simply out of control, and there were still dozens of feet away in front of them. However, the crazy horses were running wildly. As the army was slowly moving to the southwest, most of the war horses were frightened and accelerated to the southwest. If they wanted to penetrate horizontally from this crazy-flowing army, even if they were allowed to cut them, these three thousand cavalry would be trampled into meat pie by the huge pressure swarming over.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xin Guerrilla had to shout loudly: "Move with the shocked horse! Move with the shocked horse!" As he said that, he turned his horse's head first, joined the camp of the southwest flowing ground, and waved his sword, constantly slashing everything blocking the road ahead.
His voice was neighing with the horses, and his subordinates in the distance could not hear it at all, but they were all soldiers who had been through war. When they saw the actions of the general and the soldiers beside him, they understood, so they turned their horses and flew southwest with the crazy flow of people.
In order to prevent being knocked down by the horses that were crowded quickly from behind, the saber in their hands kept slashing and chopping. Blood was splattering, but the crazy army was already numb, and no one could control the chaotic situation of the entire battlefield. The screams were high, low, thick, and thin, and they made the scalp numb. The infantry in the white-clothed army was the first to become victims of the horse's hooves in this madness, and no one could survive.
Xujialou, this is the defense line of the cavalry team in Qingzhou.
The original raid mission was changed to setting up obstacles to block the enemy. This order made the Qingzhou defenders breathe a long sigh. During the field battle, the white-clothed army was fearless and the rushing majesty of the iron cavalry. They were really afraid of them.
The white-clothed thieves can fight and kill people to rob a bag of corn, knock down a gold tooth, and rape a woman. Although they have to fight for food and join the army, they are really scared to fight with such a group of desperate people, just like now...
The horse's hooves came like thunder, and the officers and soldiers became nervous. They hurried to the temporary shelter on both sides of the intersection, picked up crossbows and muskets. Liu Dabangmai glanced at them with a black iron stick and hummed disdainfully. He bit the grass stem in his mouth and walked lazily towards the slope to observe the enemy situation.
There are obstacles in front of us, with thorns, antlers, refusing horses, and traps in horse pits. If the thieves in white clothes are rushing over, they must first eliminate these things. If there are cold arrows in the officers and soldiers, they will continue to obstruct them. How easy is it to clear them? They are still far away, so why are they worried about?
But Liu Dabangchui's disdain immediately turned into surprise. His mouth became wider and wider, and the grass stem in his mouth slowly fell down: "My mother, are these people crazy? Are there any wars like this? This...... the outlaws can't fight so hard!"
The thorn bushes rushed over, regardless of the damage they caused to the horse's hooves and legs. The antlers rushed over and were kicked or not. Many white-clothed thieves were thrown off their horses in the desperate collision and rolled and trampled into a ball of meat.
The horse-resisting rifle, with a circular axis in the middle, one end against the ground, two feet long, wooden pole as thick as a forearm, and the sharp iron spear head was diagonally raised towards the sky. The crazy galloping horse was as if it was not seen, allowing the horse-resisting knight to pull the reins desperately. It still hit the head, and the sharp spear tip pierced through the center of the horse and emerged from the back. The knight who had no time to abandon the horse and escape was pierced on it diagonally, nailing the man and the horse together firmly.
The area of the horse pit was filled with people and horses. Due to the rapid running, the horse's legs were easily broken. The injured war horses and the thieves who were injured were rolling on the ground in pain. They did not suffer much pain for long. Because the subsequent knights rushed up again and stepped on them under their feet. They paved a way out with hundreds, or even thousands of lives.
The bow strings in the hands of the officers and soldiers roared, and sharp arrows fell like rain. The sound horse thieves held their horses tightly to prevent them from being thrown off, and they could not fight back. Those who were skilled could hide in the stirrups, and were not able to do so, so they could only be shot to death with their eyes open.
Never fought such a strange battle, and never killed people as neatly as cutting melons and chopping vegetables. Some soldiers even killed sluggishly, and this situation was happening on all major roads at the same time.
The guerrillas of Xin could no longer slash the enemy with their swords. Some people had their blades rolled up, and the horses were crowded, but their speed was getting faster and faster. If they were accidentally caught, they would be drowned in the "torrent". They could only withdraw their swords and control the war horses tightly. The officers and soldiers and bandits walked side by side. They could see each other, but no one could care about swinging the swords. The main force of the white-clothed army rushed out of Taipingzhuang with each other.
There was a bloody smell in front of me, and I don’t know how much casualties I had paid, so I made this way out. The horse’s hooves stepped on the plasma and rotten flesh, and the sounds made were strange.
After rushing out of Taipingzhuang, the large group of soldiers and horses fled in scattered and rushed for more than twenty miles. The crazy war horses gradually calmed down. Xin Guerrilla's troops were the first to control the war horse lands because they had blocked the horse's ears in advance. Once they controlled the horses, they immediately gathered and concentrated in the running. When the white-clothed army's troops finally calmed down, Xin Guerrilla's people also gathered in the movement.
They threw away their helmets and were covered in sweat, and looked equally in a mess. They were squeezed and pushed down during the escape and died in the camp. The remaining nearly 2,800 people formed an attack formation and attacked the white-clothed army that had just calmed down with a sharp shout from Xin Guerrilla.
The white-clothed army was scattered and still in shock. After being rushed by Xin's guerrilla cavalry, the scattered cavalry, Youyong, who had no cooperation with each other, was cut down. Then, with the openness of the terrain, the white-clothed army, which had come back to its senses, began to counterattack. The soldiers from the white-clothed army fled from all directions, began to gather towards this place where they shouted and killed.
The extreme death experience made the soldiers develop a pathological courage after extreme fear. The Xin guerrillas took advantage of the first to awaken the army and fought like a tiger, fighting to the death, taking advantage of their small number, and the white-clothed army could not form an effective formation for the time being, interspersed and detoured in their numerous encirclements.
They led the white-clothed army to chase one side in a crazy way, and then suddenly turned to the scene, intending to fish in the water and jump out of the white-clothed army. Xin Guerrillas got a chance and rushed to the horse quickly. To the southeast, the team of white-clothed thieves was the most sporadic. Anyway, the purpose of disrupting the white-clothed army had been achieved. Now they are the targets of officers and soldiers hunting, and there is no need to rely on more than two thousand people to duel in the enemy encirclement.
He estimated that there were about 30,000 cavalrymen who rushed out with the main force. According to his battlefield experience, there were fewer white-clothed troops who fled from other routes, and even fewer were able to break out of the encirclement alive. The total number was estimated to be more than 10,000. In other words, 100,000 white-clothed thieves destroyed at least 60,000 in Tai'an City. This number is a great victory and a complete victory.
The elite cavalry of the four foreign troops were paying attention to the movement of the commander at any time. Seeing him wielding his sword and galloping towards the southeast, he immediately followed him. They were storming in a triangular shape. The white-clothed army in the southeast had few brave cavalry. Seeing that they could not stop their offensive, they suddenly roared like spring thunder in the back. Dozens of cavalry came over, and the first one was a white cloak in the wind, with fierce eyes like a beast, and the murderous aura on his face was like a tiger that was devoured by someone.
He scolded and kept urging the horse. With the long neighing sound, he had already chased Xin Guerrilla's cavalry. With a loud shout, the spear in his right hand was like a poisonous snake, and it came naturally.
The cavalry, who was the first to be attacked, immediately jumped on his horse and slashed his sword, slashing his teeth with a "crack" sound. He had avoided the spear tip and cut it towards the spear stick, but somehow he barely hit the spear tip. His arm was shaking and the saber opened, and the door between his chest and abdomen opened. The spear shrank and stretched, and had already penetrated from his front heart, revealing the leather armor of the vest.
The sharp spear tip had not yet dripped blood. The big man holding the gun roared and raised his arm, lifting the man up from the horse. Then he drove the van with his arms, and the spear was like a wheel, throwing the strong knight out of thin air. Then he controlled the horse with both legs, twisted the gun with both hands, and took the guerrilla general Xin Guixi directly.
To be continued...
