Chapter 570: Divide up and wipe out the enemy (1)

"Special situation, haha, isn't this special situation coming now?"

Wang Bing couldn't help but smile coldly when he saw the two groups of rebels coming from behind his own army.

Just as the Fifth Army Camp and the Yulinwei Army were fighting fiercely with Yang Chaodong's rebels, the 'special situation' that Qin Liangyu asked about appeared. The Bozhou rebels, each with more than 10,000 people on each side, suddenly appeared in Songkan.

The battlefield seems to be coming from the direction of Yudu and Luoguchi.

"Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu listen to the order. You will lead the white pole to face the enemy on the right! I, the general Yulin Wei, will face the rebels on the left!"

"Liu Wei, I order you to lead your troops and stay where they are for the time being, and choose your own opportunity to attack depending on the enemy's situation!"

Faced with the two groups of rebels that suddenly appeared, Wang Bing made the decision without thinking that more than 5,000 Chinese troops would be required to meet the enemy. He had no intention of deploying the main force that had already invaded the rebel camp to provide reinforcements.

"The general will obey the order!"

"General, obey the order!"

Regarding Wang Bing's decision to divide his troops to fight, Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu accepted the order with excitement on their faces. Although Liu Wei was a little hesitant about the order to "watch the battle" and choose the opportunity to attack, it was only for a moment.

Afterwards, the 5,000 Chinese army divided to one side, 2,000 feather forest guards and 3,000 white pole soldiers immediately faced their assigned opponents. Only Liu Wei was left to lead the 500 servants to stay in place, preparing to serve as backup.

Strength and the 'last straw', push forward at the critical moment.

"Tell me, is it more likely that we will support the Habayashi Guards in the end, or the White Guards?"

Just as the Yulin Guards and the White Guards were facing the rebels on the left and right sides, many of Liu Wei's family members who were stationed at the same place were discussing the final support targets for their reserve team.

"The number of the two groups of rebels is about 15,000. Although the Habayashi Guards are powerful, they are too few in number. In addition, there are no artillery here, so I am afraid that the Habayashi Guards will not be able to hold on!"

Seeing Wang Bing, who was leading only 2,000 Hanlin Guards from the Chinese army, towards the rebels all the way to the left, many of the servants thought that the White Guards could last longer. After all, there were a thousand more White Guards than there were.

Where are the men and horses!

"That's not necessarily true. It's not like you haven't seen the power of the Yulin Guards' fire cannons before. The enemy-killing distance...even the Tatar cavalry can only be beaten in front of them, let alone these rebel infantry?"

Although I think the Habayashi Guards will not be able to support many people at first, but thinking about the Habayashi Guards' past records, there are more people who are optimistic about the Habayashi Guards.

While Liu Wei's servants were arguing about which side could last longer, the Yulin Guards and the White Guards had already fought against the enemy.

However, although both sides fought against the enemy almost at the same time, the battlefield conditions on both sides were quite different.

The Yulin Guards led by Wang Bing were facing the enemy with fire cannons, so they naturally would not rush in front of the enemy to fight with them. These Yulin Guards, who were lined up in a half-moon three-stage attack formation, were separated by nearly two hundred people.

He was only a few steps away, and he had enough time to shoot the approaching rebels with his musket.

Therefore, it was said that it was a fight, but in fact it was the rebels who were attacking while being beaten with the firepower of the Habayashi Guards. In other words, the Habayashi Guards chose to defend instead of attack.

On the other side, the white pole soldiers led by Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu were exactly the opposite of the Yulin Guards. They chose to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the rebels by attacking instead of defending.

However, no matter whether it is defending instead of attacking or attacking instead of defending, as soon as the battle begins, it is the side of the imperial court that has the upper hand.

Needless to say, the Yulin Guards had to pay a heavy price for every step they took as the flintlock rifled muskets had a range and lethality that far exceeded those of crossbows. They were literally stepping on the corpses of their own comrades.

go ahead.

Although the White Guards were not as efficient at killing enemies as the Habayashi Guards due to their use of "cold weapons," the rebels did not take advantage of their simple and effective tactics.

Speaking of which, the formation and tactics used by the white pole soldiers were the simplest infantry formations that Wang Bing had ever seen in this time and space.

Normally, the white-pole soldiers would form a division with twenty-four flags, with 600 people in each formation. Then, depending on the situation, the divisions would be formed into one or two general divisions as formations.

At present, these three thousand white-armed soldiers formed two military formations, that is, two general divisions. They were led by Qin Liangyu and Ma Qiancheng, their husbands and wives. They looked after each other on the left and right, and launched a pincer-like attack on the rebels.

A fierce attack.

It's just that although the formation is simple, in the hands of the white-pole soldiers with strict training and strict military discipline, this simple formation has exerted its greatest power. It truly achieves the goal of 'advance is like a forest of spears, aggression is like fire. Retreat is like fire.

The ancient well is calm and orderly!

Therefore, even though the morale of these slow-moving Bozhou troops was high, they were still not enough in front of the white-armed soldiers. More than 10,000 people were beaten back by 3,000 people.

"Sir, depending on the situation, no one seems to need our help right now!"

Just when the Yulin Guards and the White Guards were each suppressing the rebels and beating them up, Liu Wei's men, who had been discussing which side would be unable to support them first, suddenly discovered that so far, they seemed

I really became a spectator.

"Well, let's take a look. It's just started not long ago. After all, there are many rebels!"

Looking at the two groups of Banzhou rebels who were always at a disadvantage on the battlefield, Liu Wei couldn't help but be speechless.

"Sir, the Marquis asked us to choose the opportunity to attack, and he did not ask us to act as a rescue team. Why do we have to wait until there is no support before attacking? According to the standard, if we wait any longer, let alone eat meat.

I can't even drink the soup..."

Just when Liu Wei was still thinking about waiting, Liu Ke, the general manager among the servants, looked at him anxiously.

"That's right, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me! The Marquis didn't ask us to act as a rescue team, hahahaha!"

Being reminded by Liu Ke, Liu Wei slapped his thigh with a slap, then laughed loudly and raised his iron sword.

"Sir, where should we go?"

Seeing Liu Wei's actions, all the servants would not know that it was their turn to appear next.

"Well, the champion is using firearms. If we rush over to help, we might end up doing a disservice. In this way, if we go to help the white soldiers, we can't let those rebels bully women, hahahaha!"

After just a brief consideration, Liu Wei chose the white-armed soldiers as the target of his 'help'. After all, they were all close combat, so there would be no harm in doing things such as accidental injuries.

Then, waving the famous iron sword in his hand, Liu Wei, who was leading Liu Ke and five hundred servants, galloped his horse and charged at the rebels who were facing off against the white pole soldiers.
