Chapter 251 Sweeping the Thousand Army

All the troops crossed the mountains and gathered in the dense forest on the hillside. This was two hours later. According to Zhu Youcheng's estimate, the rebels should have arrived at the same time, but there was no trace of them on the other side.

Could it be that it will not come? Scout Wang Feng reported that the enemy was resting eight miles away and it was about a while before he could come. Zhu Youcheng breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers to eat first, accumulate energy, and prepare for the upcoming hard battle.

Of course, we can't make a fire and cook. Five thousand people cook at the same time. The smoke from cooking is spectacular, just like telling the rebels, hey, we are lying here, come quickly.

The soldiers ate Guokui with cold water. Guokui is a Guanzhong pastry, which is characterized by hardness but resistant to storage, so it has become one of the designated military rations of Jinyiwei.

Although Zhu Youcheng was the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, he had no conditions to make it special at this time. He was also cold water and a hard Guokui.

Zhu Youcheng said secretly that what military rations to eat actually have something to do with mentality. If you are in a happy mood, then Guokui can also taste the flavor of roasted pheasant. Look, the piece of Guokui in front of you exudes the rich aroma of roasted pheasant, becoming more and more intense...

Zhu Youcheng looked around and said, damn, there was really someone roasting a pheasant, it was the young man who was the leader of the four heroes.

I saw that they had brought a few wild pheasants from somewhere, cleaned them up, and roasted them on the fire. It was raining lightly and I couldn't find dry firewood. The fire was burned with wet firewood, and a stream of black smoke rose into the sky.

Zhu Youcheng was angry from his heart, and didn't know if the battlefield was hidden? He rushed forward and kicked the roasted chicken that was roasted with browned oil on the rack. The guards quickly stepped forward and put out the fire, added a few handfuls of soil to completely eliminate the fire.

The young man from the barbarian stood up in panic, angering the young general in some unknown place.

Zhu Youcheng suppressed his anger and asked, "Why are you igniting fire on the battlefield? Don't you know that this will inform the enemy?"

Gu Long suddenly reacted, his face turned pale. He stammered: "Mr. Zhu, we didn't mean it. I saw that everyone has something to eat, but we didn't, so he fought a few pheasants and thought to help the adults fight after they were full..."

Zhu Youcheng sighed and called Xu Yan. He asked him to manage these forty young people in the barbarians without asking for anything else. As long as the forty old men don't make any more troubles.

Xu Yan divided some Guokui for these people. The Jinyiwei's Guokui was really not delicious. They made the two characteristics of Guokui to the extreme, one was hard and the other was salty. Not to mention, these two characteristics greatly extended the storage time of Guokui.

The Yi people ate Guo Kui without any bites, and watched Jin Yiwei eat Guo Kui sweetly. They couldn't help but secretly praise her. Jin Yiwei is indeed a special person. Only such a special person can eat such a special meal.

After resting for about an hour, the rebels arrived late.

Chen Guoqi ran over hurriedly and said, "Sir, let's go to the battle."

Zhu Youcheng put down the telescope and said, "Wait a minute. We got the information that the enemy dispatched more than 20,000 people this time, and there are only about 5,000 people in front of us. There must be a large army behind us. Our goal is to wipe out the enemy completely. If we go out now, we will just destroy their vanguards. When their large army sees the situation is not good, they will definitely escape. The mountains are not suitable for cavalry pursuit. The results are too small and not cost-effective."

The young man from the barbarians was shocked. The young general was really greedy and swallowed an elephant. He only had five thousand troops in his hand, but he wanted to wipe out 20,000 enemy troops.

After another half an hour, all the rebels arrived on the plains. Zhu Youcheng shouted: "Go away!"

The Jinyiwei rolled over the horse and rushed towards the rebels' central army with a whistle. The sound of the horse's hooves of the five thousand horses galloped like muffled thunder, shocking the earth.

When the rebels saw the overwhelming cavalry rushing towards him, they were so scared that their faces turned pale and their souls were gone.

It is hard for anyone who has never seen a cavalry to imagine the horror of a cavalry charge at a high speed. When Zhu Youcheng led the soldiers to undergo the test of the cavalry's charge, he knew that the cavalry would turn, but when the cavalry approached him, his legs were still shaking, and there were suspicious water stains on his pants afterwards.

Therefore, Zhu Youcheng tried his best to build the wall as soon as he arrived at Juehua Island. The reason was that he knew that no matter how powerful the infantry was, he had a natural fear in the face of the cavalry. Facts proved that it was this low-high wall that gave the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard confidence and finally withstood the attack of 40,000 Jiannu cavalry.

Infantry does not necessarily have no choice but to use cavalry. The side vans and strong crossbows and hard bows in the Ming Dynasty are the nightmares of cavalry, and infantry arranged with long spear formations can also bear the impact of cavalry. However, these rebels have never seen the impact of cavalry, so of course they can't think of a way to restrain cavalry. Zhu Youcheng led the cavalry and did not bully them, who would he bully?

Recently, it has been raining and raining. Although the firearms of the Jinyiwei's muskets cannot be used, the rebels' crossbows cannot be used either. Because the strings of bows and arrows are made of animal tendons, the wet weather will make the elasticity of the tendons smaller and the range will be shorter. Moreover, the use of the rainy days will cause irreversible damage to the bows and arrows, so the rebels have all the bows and arrows closed, and some experienced sharpshooters even removed the bow strings from the bows and arrows. In this way, the rebels could only watch the cavalry rushing towards them.

The crossbowman didn't care about the officer's reprimand, and took out the bow and arrow and greeted the cavalry. Unfortunately, the range and accuracy of the bow and arrow were greatly reduced on the rainy day. Many arrows fell to the ground slowly, without any lethality. A few arrows were also shot on the Jinyiwei. However, except for the one in the middle of the door, some of the power, the other arrows were not very powerful. Look, the Jinyiwei was covered with arrows, which looked like a piercing, but the action was not affected at all. He was still riding a horse and running wildly.

Of course, the Jinyiwei was not a superman, it all depends on Zhu Youcheng's prior arrangement. Since he discovered that the Jinyiwei's musket failed, Zhu Youcheng understood that close contact was inevitable, and the important thing to reduce casualties in soldiers was to resist the damage of enemy bows and arrows. So the Jinyiwei bought all the way and bought all the silk in all the shops along the way. Zhu Youcheng also asked the female soldiers from the thousand households of medical staff to work together and made many silk clothes for the soldiers. Zhu Youcheng, a coward, actually put three silk clothes on his body. If it weren't for the hot weather, he would probably wear a few more pieces.

Zhu Youcheng vaguely remembered that silk could effectively resist the damage of feather arrows. Even if feather arrows were shot into their bodies, it would be easy to remove the arrows. It would not cause too much harm. So Zhu Youcheng paid out of his own pocket and made the soldiers with a protective gear. The soldiers always believed in Zhu Youcheng. Although the weather was getting hot, they still wore silk underwear. Therefore, although the Jinyiwei was hit by several arrows, it looked very terrifying, but the feather arrows were blocked by the silk clothes. They were not seriously injured.

The clothing of the Jinyiwei was completely different from that of other Ming troops. Everyone was shining with golden light, like a god descending to earth. In addition, the rebels were able to move freely after being caught in the arrow, so they were even more scared to death. They thought that the great hero Zhige'er of the Wild Man was resurrected and led the army to fight against them, so their legs were so scared that some Wild soldiers simply knelt on the ground and begged for mercy to their gods.

However, the Jinyiwei did not have the kindness of a woman. When he saw the barbarians kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, he thought of the people of Guizhou who were destroyed by their disaster and separated from their wives and children. They became angry from their hearts, and they became brave and brave, so they rode their horses and stepped on them.

As a result, the Yi soldiers were in great danger. They were trampled on by the huge horse's hooves and their heads were bleeding and their intestines were rotten.

The rebels found that the Jinyiwei had no intention of forgiveing ​​them, so they cried and retreated. When the rebel commander An Xiaoliang saw the soldiers retreating, he hurriedly ordered the supervisory team to step forward and kill the soldiers who dared to retreat on the spot. After cutting twenty-seven heads, the soldiers' retreating momentum was barely stopped.

After all, there were smart people among the Yi people. They found that the target of the Jinyiwei was the Central Army and did not care about the two wings, so they had an idea and dodged to both sides. An Xiaoliang's supervision team was just to prevent the soldiers from retreating, but they didn't know that they would give in to both sides. As a result, the Central Army, which was protected tightly, was directly exposed to the Jinyiwei.

Seeing this, Zhu Youcheng was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me and capture An Xiaoliang alive!"

When the Jinyiwei saw Zhu Youcheng charging forward, his morale was greatly boosted and he fought bravely to fight the enemy. Just kidding, the main general charged forward and the soldiers followed behind. Wouldn't that be a shame the soldiers of the Jinyiweiwei? Zhu Youcheng's horse was a yellow-fat horse and a BMW horse, and his speed was very fast, and the soldiers could only follow behind and eat dust. But today, Dahuang didn't know what was wrong, and he was overtaken by ordinary horses.

This is of course a superb performance by Zhu Youcheng, a coward. Fighting generals is the myth of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". If all the victims are in front, what else should soldiers do? Zhu Youcheng is rushing in front and bringing morale to the top. If he really charges, even if he is skilled in martial arts, he can't stop the flying arrows. If he is injured, who will command the army?

The yellow-fat horse is very majestic and arrogant by nature. When he saw that he was overtaken by a group of horses, he was so angry that he shook his head and waved his tail, and neighed at the sky. However, Zhu Youcheng sat upright on the horse, and was as calm as he could see that someone's skin was much thicker than that of a horse's skin.

An Xiaoliang was still firmly in the central army at first, but not long after the war started, he saw the front army suddenly turn left and right, give up a road in the middle, and put on a pose to welcome the enemy. An Xiaoliang was panicked, what should he do to welcome the Jinyiwei? Come and take his head?

He ordered the supervisory team to rush the soldiers into the middle, but the soldiers had just found a safe place and were reluctant to give up. They were too anxious and even started fighting with the supervisory team.

Seeing that the situation was not good, An Xiaoliang made a decision that anyone would make - to escape, and it was this decision that completely ruined the more than 20,000 people.

An Xiaoliang asked his personal soldiers to cut off the rear and ran away by himself.

When he ran, the Yi soldiers who had no intention of fighting suddenly collapsed and rushed to escape.

An Xiaoliang was a general, riding a horse. If there were no rear army, he might have escaped. However, there were more than 20,000 people at the scene, but the command was not effective, and the front army collapsed, but the rear army was not aware of it and was still squeezing forward. As a result, An Xiaoliang was forced into the middle and could not advance or retreat.

Seeing the Jinyiwei chasing, it turned out that the Yi soldiers who were guarding An Xiaoliang and blocking his retreat dispersed, leaving only An Xiaoliang alone and one rider to stay in place.

Chen Guoqi yelled: "This person is mine."

After saying that, he rushed up.

An Xiaoliang sneered, at this time, one is one, and two are still profitable. Don’t you know that the enemy generals on the opposite side are hard to stop when a man fights his life?

Facts have proved that there is no effect for every man to fight desperately. At least An Xiaoliang, a man to fight desperately, is ineffective. Chen Guoqi has been practicing guns for ten years, and his shooting skills are fierce. One move is as fast as one move, and one move is as tight as one move. After fighting An Xiaoliang only has the ability to fight back, he has no power to fight back. When he finished the fifteenth round, he heard a loud "dang" sound, and An Xiaoliang's knife flew out.

An Xiaoliang's sword headed straight for Wu Huping. Wu Huping used his gun to change the direction and flew towards an Yi soldier. The Yi soldier was so happy that he could do this move, so he raised his sword to block it. The Yi soldier was very competitive, and this sword was indeed blocked by him. However, his sword was not very competitive and was cut off by An Xiaoliang's precious sword. Once the sword was broken, the Yi soldier was in trouble and was cut into two pieces by the precious sword. Chen State Qi and An Xiaoliang competed with each other, but cut an ordinary soldier to death. This was also a strange thing.

His vision returned to Chen Guoqi. Seeing that An Xiaoliang's weapons had been lost, Chen Guoqi swept across thousands of troops with one move. An Xiaoliang could not avoid it and was knocked down.

Chen Guoqi's personal soldiers jumped off their war horses, grabbed An Xiaoliang, wiped his shoulders, and tied him up.

Chen Guoqi's personal soldiers shouted: "An Xiaoliang has been arrested, and those who surrender are exempted from death."

The soldiers led by An Xiaoliang were from the mountains and forests. There were not many people who knew Chinese. In theory, they could not understand what the soldiers of Chen Guoqi shouted.

Unfortunately, An Xiaoliang's soldiers once again cleverly cooperated with the actions of the Jinyiwei. The soldiers who were watching An Xiaoliang and Chen Guoqi fight when they saw the defeat of the main general, shouted: "The general is finished, the general is finished."

At first, it was just one person shouting, but later it turned into ten people shouting and hundreds of people shouting.

When the Yi people heard that the general was defeated, they were already running away, and now they ran faster. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
