Chapter 562: The First Battle of the Fifth Army Battalion (3)
"Kill all the bastards back for me, they are just Ming Gou's firearms..."
When he saw his soldiers who were about to attack the Ming army, but were frightened by the so-called "thunder in the palm" of the Ming army and fled in all directions in the blink of an eye, Yang Yinglong couldn't help but feel angry.
"Enforce military law for me. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"
Finally, seeing that shouting and shouting had no effect, Yang Yinglong, who was already violent and cruel by nature, turned around and ordered Tian Shupeng, Shang Shouzhong and other close generals to supervise the battle and enforce military law, hoping to stop the rout of the soldiers.
However, just as he finished speaking, before these people could take action, as a huge firework exploded in the sky above the city, the city gate that had been closed before was slowly opened.
Immediately, groups of cavalry with bright armor were seen charging towards the defeated soldiers.
"Form up, form up, quickly form..."
Seeing the cavalry pouring out of the city, Yang Yinglong no longer cared about enforcing military law at the moment, and immediately shouted for the sergeants to form a formation to resist the Ming army's cavalry.
However, before he could finish his sentence, another rumble of galloping horses came from his side and behind, aiming directly at the rear formation where Yang Yinglong was!
"Fell into a trap! Protect the Lord and retreat!"
Seeing the Ming cavalry coming from behind, Tian Shupeng, Shang Shouzhong and other generals embraced Yang Yinglong and started running away.
There is no way, in this era, the cavalry is equivalent to the tanks of later generations. In the face of the impact of the cavalry, although the infantry is not helpless, the discipline and will of the sergeants are too high, which is not what Yang Yinglong and other Bozhou troops can do.
of.
Therefore, when the "front army" had collapsed, facing the attacking Ming cavalry, Yang Yinglong not only cut off his tail and abandoned the "front army" to delay the pace of the Ming army and gain time for the rear army to retreat, he also
There is no other way.
Otherwise, when the defeated troops driven by the Ming army disrupt the rear formation, then all of his army will really be trapped here.
…
"kill!"
Seeing the enemy's rear formation fleeing, Zhang Weiming immediately did not command the army to pursue them, but instead used all his strength to deal with the rebel front troops, which had been destroyed by grenades.
There is no way, there are only 10,000 people in the fifth army camp stationed in Jiangjin, and the strength is really not enough to divide the troops. And if we don't take advantage of the enemy's collapse and chaos to kill more enemies, and wait for these people to recover and regroup, it will be troublesome.
.
Therefore, watching the 30,000 to 40,000 Bozhou troops flee, Zhang Weiming and other officers of the Fifth Army Camp could only vent their unwillingness and anger on the completely defeated rebel troops in front of them.
"Let your stupid savages rebel, and let your stupid savages shoot me with crossbow arrows!"
The 5,050 infantry soldiers who were responsible for attracting the rebels thousands of years ago will now bear the burden of their bodies.
Arrows like hedgehogs, waving the sword in their hands, combined with the cavalry, struck hard at the collapsed Banshu rebels.
"No... don't kill me, I surrender, surrender!"
Facing the coordinated killings by the soldiers of the fifth army camp on foot and cavalry, the Banzhou rebels, who had been so arrogant not long ago, now had eyes full of fear.
There is no other way, it is human nature to cherish life and hate death, not to mention these barbarians who are only afraid of power.
Therefore, under the frenzied killing of the 15,000 soldiers of the 15th Army Camp, except for a few of these collapsed rebels who escaped, most of them were killed and captured by the 5th Army Camp that fought for the first battle after retraining!
"The Great Tomorrow Army is invincible!"
Looking at the battlefield outside the city that had finally calmed down, Luo Rulan, the magistrate of Jiangjin who had been always on tenterhooks, couldn't help but murmur to herself.
…
"Lao Zhang, let's chase now!"
Just when Luo Rulan, the magistrate of Jiangjin County, finally felt relieved, Zhao Zhilong, who had previously acted as a 'bait', couldn't help but look at the general Zhang Weiming expectantly.
"I said, Lao Zhao, it's not your turn to chase! Look at you all being pricked like hedgehogs. Who can bear to let you chase? Hahahaha!"
Looking at Zhao Zhilong and others whose armors were filled with crossbow arrows, Zhang Weiming couldn't help but joke.
"It's just that I didn't have time to pull it out just now, and the brothers were not seriously injured, so it doesn't affect the killing of barbarians..."
Reaching out, he pulled out an arrow hanging from his armor and threw it to the ground. Zhao Zhilong then asked Zhang Weiming for the task of chasing him...
"Forget it, just send a team of people to follow and watch!"
To the surprise of Zhao Guangzhi and the other soldiers, Zhang Weiming shook his head and gave up pursuing Yang Yinglong.
"General, the barbarians are newly defeated. This is a good opportunity to pursue them. Why..."
Seeing that Zhang Weiming actually gave up such a good opportunity to pursue him, not to mention Zhao Zhilong, even many officers, big and small, who had transferred from the Yulin Guard were puzzled.
"Brothers, since Yang Yinglong dares to rebel against the imperial court, how can we just hunt him down and kill him as a sergeant? It's just that our number is too small, so why not send someone to inform the people in the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp..."
"Haha, Lao Zhang is right. If you dare to rebel against the imperial court, if you don't kill him directly, you are still waiting for the New Year!"
As expected of an old man from the Yulin Guards, before Zhang Weiming could finish his words, a group of guys who were used to "eating meat" reacted instantly and all agreed with this plan to go straight to the lair.
Later, after sending a team of cavalry to catch up, everyone began to clean up the battlefield.
…
"So, how many people did we lose?"
Just as the fifth military camp was cleaning the battlefield, about fifty miles south of Jiangjin City, the Banzhou rebels who had fled here finally stopped and began to gather the broken troops and regroup.
"Brother, we only have about 40,000 people left..."
Seeing his eldest brother's gloomy face, Yang Zhaolong could only stand up and answer for the Bozhou Army generals who did not dare to answer.
"In this small Jiangjin City, we didn't even touch the city walls, but we lost 30,000 people, 30,000 people!"
Yang Yinglong, whose face was already gloomy, was slapped on his thigh with a palm. Now his face turned black.
"My lord, it seems that the Beijing camp in Jiangjin is indeed very powerful. Why don't we attack Hejiang instead, and then go straight to Luzhou..."
As a military advisor, it is his job to make plans. Seeing that Jiangjin could not be captured for a while, Sun Shitai immediately put forward the suggestion to attack Hejiang instead.
"Forget it, our main goal is to regain our homeland and avenge the Bo people, let Chongqing issue Kedong corpse coffins for burial, and let the court convert the extermination into Fu. As long as the court understands and pardons us, our goal will be achieved.
…”
However, what Sun Shitai didn't expect was that it was just a defeat. Yang Yinglong, who had been ambitious before, now no longer had the previous ambition and just wanted to go back and continue to guard his three-acre land in Bozhou.
"Military advisor, the Beijing Camp in Jiangjin is so powerful, the Beijing Camp Army stationed in Hejiang must not be far behind..."
"We are fighting in a foreign land, and we don't have the right time, place, and people. We might as well go back to Bozhou and defend in danger. The court can't do anything to us..."
Not only Yang Yinglong, but after a defeat, all the generals of the Bozhou Army showed little interest in attacking Hejiang and Luzhou, and they all agreed with Yang Yinglong's decision to return to Bozhou and defend.
The reason is actually because in the past, the imperial court's attitude towards these "local emperors" as long as you surrendered and admitted your mistakes, I will make the big issue trivial and keep it quiet, which made them think they had "experience" in dealing with the imperial court.
'Oh, I was born at the wrong time! I think I, Sun Shitai, am full of knowledge... This Yang Yinglong is not Li Wuhao after all, but he doesn't even have the vision and ambition of an emperor. How can he succeed? It's better to leave as soon as possible!'
Seeing that Yang Yinglong was determined and could no longer be persuaded, Sun Shitai could only secretly intend to leave in his heart.
"Instruct the entire army to return to Bozhou and set up boundary markers at Sanxi, Mudu, and Dongxiang..."
Later, before even the cavalry squad sent by Zhang Weiming could catch up, the Banzhou rebels, who had been so arrogant when they arrived, retreated in despair.
However, what Yang Yinglong and the Bozhou Army officers did not expect was that this time, their calculations would be wrong.
