Chapter 665 Gao Yingxiang retreats!
As mentioned before, this time it was just a mistake in the bandit army and lost the opportunity. Moreover, the cannon fodder people behind did not keep up, and the ambush mistake was caused. When they ran backwards, they quickly met with the cannon fodder people behind. Facing nearly 100,000 people, Li Zilong and others charged significantly.
Finally, I even had to stop and wait for the infantry battalion behind me.
The elite thief army who successfully ran to the rear and held a meeting immediately.
"These officers and soldiers are not easy to deal with." A thief general frowned.
"It's not just amazing. The officers and soldiers are well-armed. Not only do they have iron armor and cotton armor, but they also have horses. In particular, their firearms are very powerful and they can kill people within a hundred steps. We hold bows and arrows and have no strength to fight back at all." Another thief general replied.
"King of Chuang, these officers and soldiers are not greedy for money, and they are not moved when they see gold, silver and wealth. They still keep the military formations tightly as they see the silver and money on the ground. I have followed King of Chuang for so many years, but I have never seen such officers and soldiers. There are never such elite troops in the Henan prefectures. Perhaps... they are foreign visitors?" Li Zicheng said to Gao Yingxiang.
Gao Yingxiang looked forward, pondered for a long time, and said, "The officers and soldiers have stopped and set up formations a few miles away. Before exploring the situation, they should not attack. The people will stop them there, so we will retreat first."
Li Guo tried to suggest: "King of Chuang, there are so many horse armor for officers and soldiers. If they are defeated, our brothers from the old camp will be sent out. Otherwise, we will use people to pile them up and kill them as before?"
Gao Yingxiang was a little moved when he heard this. From time to time, a big man next to him came out and shouted, "King of Chuang, let me take the tentative attack, let me, Lao Hao."
This Han Dynasty was named Hao Yongzhong, a famous general of the peasant uprising army in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He was the banner bearer in the army, so he was named "Hao Yaoqi".
In the history that was unchanged, in the tenth year of Chongzhen, the rebel army led by King Li Chuang was trapped in a heavy siege in Tongguan. Before breaking through, Hao Yaoqi, the pioneer of the rebel army, tried hard to ensure King Chuang escaped danger, and decided to kill his wife in order to relieve the burden on his family.
His wife Zhang Ruilian was very wise. After learning the truth, she also supported her husband's righteous act and treated her death as if she were home. Later, she survived because of the trick of breaking through the king.
However, here, Gao Yingxiang is not dead yet, Li Zicheng is just a general, not the second generation of the King of Rebellion.
Finally, Gao Yingxiang agreed to let Hao Yaoqi try it.
…………
A while!
Li Zilong and others were looking at the telescope when a gong suddenly sounded, and the bandits took the ordinary road and rushed down from the mountain.
Countless peasant soldiers holding spears and wrapped in red scarves rushed down the mountain, and the noisy sounds finally formed: "Kill the officers and soldiers, eat his, and drink his!"
At the same time, another thief army brought cannon fodder from the front to charge into battle, showing a double-sided surround. They were either pale and thin, or ragged, but at this moment they all looked furious.
They sang slogans together, and many people beat their chests harder, and aroused a small amount of morale rushed over.
"Kill the officers and soldiers!" "Kill the officers and soldiers!" "Kill the officers and soldiers!"
A large stream of smoke and dust rose, and the dense layers of sight were spears and red headscarves, as if there were tens of thousands of people.
Seeing that he had already met with the infantry, and the terrain was suitable for one man to be the pass, and ten thousand men could not open it. Li Zilong snorted and shouted: "The bandits are coming well, give them a pleasure!"
In the Zhu family's army, except for a few new recruits, others held their own weapons in their hands, and did not feel any panic due to the arrival of a large thief.
"Prepare for the fight, prepare!"
"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!"
"Release the gun and get ready!"
Seeing that he rushed to the position of the Zhu family army, within nearly 200 meters, the officers and soldiers had not fired their guns, the morale of the large number of bandits increased a little.
When they were about to approach a hundred steps, the bandits were even more excited. They shouted at the top of their lungs and rushed towards them with their spears.
However, at this moment, the generals of the Zhu family army spit out a word: "Let it go!"
The next second, the sound of muskets that were deafening one after another sounded one after another. They were densely like rain, and the sound was louder, and the white smoke rose, with amazing momentum.
Of course, blood mist appeared on hundreds of thieves, and they staggered and rolled to the ground one by one. The screams continued!
"Second row, put it again!"
A moment later, the second platoon of the Zhu family army sounded again, followed by the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh... The sound seemed to be eternal, without any panic among the soldiers and generals, and the mechanical movements were moving quickly.
In a circle in front of the two armies, corpses slowly piled up, the wounded lay all over the ground, and blood flowed out everywhere. All were dead bodies of thieves, none of them were from soldiers of the Zhu family!
When he was young, he looked at the death of his brothers and smelled a strong smell of blood, and the fanatical squads of the trespassers gradually woke up.
The thief is a hungry man, and he has not received much training. When he is in a hurry, he will be extremely fierce. After the sharpness goes away, he will immediately become timid. As the saying goes, three minutes of heat!
Seeing such a hellish scene in front of you, many people looked dissatisfied and had already made up their minds to retreat.
At the same time, bandits were constantly being beaten to the ground, and people with special appearances of leaders were knocked down. (The sharpshooters in the Zhu family army acted as counterfeiters and called on the captain-level figures among the bandits to open fire.)
Hao Yaoqi, standing on the mountain, gritted his teeth in anger, and was about to order another attack.
Suddenly, with a "bang!", a gun shot from somewhere hit his left shoulder, which scared him to the spot and fell to the ground.
Hot blood overflowed between his fingers, and the forward's flag fell down in the cold weather!
Seeing that the leader of the team had all fallen, life and death were unknown, and the thieves who had lost their morale were now blowing up the camp.
The remaining bandits could no longer help but feel fear in their hearts and fled one after another. They were defeated like a tide!
It's true that it comes quickly and retreats quickly.
On the mountain far away, Gao Yingxiang, who was watching the game, looked ashen. The contrast was so strong that he couldn't accept it for a while.
But a moment later, he thought that the officers and soldiers were too strong. They were not prepared enough and the cannon fodder was not brought enough. The hero would not suffer the loss in front of him, so he should retreat.
So, the central army's order to retreat immediately spread.
However, it is useless to order or not.
Because the bandit army had already collapsed, they shouted and ran to their positions, causing panic in the entire infantry army.
Soon, those who can run away will run away long ago, and those who can’t run away cannot run away.
Because there is not much food and grass, so there is no way to take in so many refugees. Li Zilong can only give them a bite and disperse them. Of course, the old rules are for women and children to stay!
A few days later, the Zhu family army arrived in Ruzhou.
In September 1476, Teng Zhao, a native of Ruzhou, who was then the Left Minister of the Ministry of War, wrote a friend of Henan Provincial Governor Yuan Jie Lianming, who requested Emperor Xianzong Zhu Jianshen to separate Ruzhou from Nanyang and be directly under the jurisdiction of the province, on the grounds that Ruzhou was too far from Nanyang to bring inconvenience to the people's lives.
At the same time, it is also the gateway to Luoyang.
In the 21st century later, Ruzhou was known as the "Hundred Miles of Coal Sea" and was an important energy and chemical base in the central region. It is one of the top 20 counties (cities) in central China's economic strength.
It is also the capital of Ru porcelain and the hometown of Quju!
