Chapter 479: The first setback of the Shun Army

Originally, this wet and rainy weather was beneficial to the Shunjun. The ground became muddy, and the Ming army used it as a big cart to rely on to travel in the mud.

That was in a state of movement. The Ming army now stalked down to defend, and the moving side became the Shun army, and the difficulties encountered in the operation became the ones they suffered.

The Ming army set up camp on the spot, occupying the flat terrain here completely, leaving the Shun Army with only those areas that were not conducive to operations. Not to mention the more than 4,000 cavalry sent by Yuan Zongdi went around in circles, the cavalry brigade was also divided into small teams by the fields and gullies and hills.

Along the way, there were constant horses falling into the mud or stomping into some pit, and they fell directly to the ground. Once the horse's legs were broken, the horse would be completely ruined. If the soldier was not injured, he would have to follow him on foot, which would be very troublesome.

Compared with the front where large chariots camped, the Shun Army cavalry saw that it was more difficult to advance in the way of camping in the conventional way.

The wooden piles inserted into the soil were sharpened and connected to form a wooden fence. The trench was dug outside the fence. Every distance between them, a small rushing platform protruded out, with soldiers holding firearms and bows waiting for an opportunity to attack. On the other side of the main gate were fortifications made of horse-rejected wooden fences. Behind the fence were the Ming army holding spears and swords.

At the exit of the Ming army position on the right wing, there is a flat area that is large enough. If you can break into this area, it will be much easier to launch an attack.

But this is a gap, an obvious gap. The Shun Army can easily discover it. Of course, the Ming army is the same. He Renlong has long led the cavalry to prepare there. If there is no haunted army, it will be better. If there is a haunted army, it will be like this big place. He Renlong is really not afraid of fighting with anyone.

Compared with the other Ming army, which fled, He Renlong rarely maintained a kind of confidence, a kind of confidence in the victory of the bandits.

In the time and space without Li Meng, the Shaanxi general He Renlong was brutal and domineering in Shaanxi. After Sun Chuanting was released from the imperial prison, he went to Shaanxi to gather the army to prepare for the battle. In order to capture the troops, the first person to kill was He Renlong. Kill and establish his authority, and then lead the troops.

On the other side, Sun Chuanting killed He Renlong. The news spread to the army of refugees. The refugee generals all celebrated each other, saying that it was the death of He Caizi and it was easy to take Shaanxi.

In this time and space, He Renlong did not die, and he extinguished all refugees in Shaanxi and the Shanxi-Shaanxi border area to cause trouble. Even some victories were achieved in the battle with the Western Mongolian tribes. These victories made him more and more confident. If we put it another way, it was called arrogance, but in the battle of the Heshun army. It was quite rare for the Ming army to be a little arrogant.

More than 4,000 cavalry sent by Yuan Zongdi to harass him were approaching the open area at the exit of the right wing. The civilians and soldiers had already opened the wooden fence that resisted horses. He Renlong led his personal soldiers directly to rush out in a swarm.

Shaanxi general He Renlong fought. Although he was domineering, he liked to charge himself. He formed a small group of people rushing to the front with the personal guards and cavalry around him. The rest of the troops followed him and rushed up next to the small group, almost forming a triangle shape, with the strongest part as an arrow.

If you are rushing here, you will only be able to continue to be enlarged and hunted by the vicious Crazy He. It would be better to retreat earlier than to do this, and you can save some strength.

Originally, the large group of people rushing forward turned back and were pursuing vicious enemies. No matter how well-trained soldiers were, they would be panicked. The people in the back team sold their backs to the enemy. According to the rules, in this case, hundreds of cavalrymen took the initiative to stay as the ones who cut off the rear.

But the battle that is bound to die may not be able to inspire the fighting spirit, but will despair and collapse. He Renlong is pursuing the victory and pursuing it with this spirit. The killing was so refreshing, so happy.

The attack on the right side of the Ming army was beaten by He Renlong, who was guarding this side, and retreated in panic. At this time, the frontal attack had already begun.

Yuan Zongdi's horse stance soldiers were all arranged in groups and began to slowly advance. The chariot formation also showed signs and began to mobilize troops.

You can see the cold light of weapons flashing behind the floor of the wing, and some soldiers climbed up to look up. The cavalry that was lined up in front of them had not moved yet. Instead, the wing boards that were leaning against the battlefield were moved away, and light cavalry appeared. This chariot array was a hasty position. If it was bombarded by gunfire, it would not have any ability to resist. It would rather let the cavalry come out and be prepared to set up the cannon in the army, and be careful.

The purpose of setting up cannons is to attack the city, but in the final decisive battle, the soldiers still have to fight hard, and rely on the swords and guns in their hands to defeat the enemy.

If time is enough, Yuan Zongdi can find an opportunity to assume the artillery. Then bombard a place and send soldiers to attack in. But even if the cannon is set up and a gap is blasted, the Ming army inside can send people to block the gap and then arrange defense.

After going all the way, I don’t know how many times it took, but when the King of Chuang came here, maybe he could still see the two sides tug of war here, which would be embarrassing.

General Yuan Zongdi was already ruthless and no longer cared about the casualties of his troops. He simply rushed forward and knocked the car camp with his life.

It seems that Yulin General Bai Guangen sent out all his personal guards. These light cavalry were really brave. They waited until the Shun Army approached more than a hundred steps before they calmly turned around. At this distance, there was no possibility of a gun test firing.

Because as long as the artillery is fired, even the infantry of the Ming army can rush out to kill people and seize artillery. When a few war drums are beating, the generals and leaders of the army in each team will issue orders in unison. The soldiers will stop in the whole team. After a slight pause, the drums will be ringing in a hurry, and the generals and leaders of the army will issue orders hoarsely.

The soldiers of the Shun Army all ran forward with their legs spread out. The faster they rushed to the front, the faster they could enter hand-to-hand combat, so as not to be covered by the opponent's long-range firepower.

Charge started here, and the firearms of the Ming soldiers began to be launched. Of course, the distance of about a hundred steps would not have any effect. However, the soldiers of the Shun Army ran very quickly. After the second round of ammunition loading, the Shun Army soldiers rushed to the front and entered the range.

The effective shooting of firearms is two rounds, and the effective shooting of bows and arrows is three rounds, which causes limited damage. However, the soldiers of Shunjun rushed to the front quickly, between the earth and the big cart, and the edge of the big cart, which are all places where you can climb and borrow force. The soldiers of Shunjun watched their comrades fall down and rushed to the front themselves. It was no longer time to hesitate, biting swords or climbing up with a spear.

Although the upper edge of the box board is only more than one person high from the land below, this distance is no longer something that people can cross. Any soldiers who are climbing are killed by spears or swords attacking from above. If they are ladders on it, they will be pushed away by the Ming army.

A crash created in a hurry can at most break the cabin plate and knock the big car that is almost buried in the soil, but it will not have any destructive effect.

The first wave of offensive was quickly repelled. The Ming army on the front line also reacted from the initial panic. The firearms and bows that had just been dropped were picked up again and attacked.

But the troublesome thing made Shunjun feel was not these bird guns and bows and arrows, but tiger squat cannons, which could only be hit less than thirty steps. They played the greatest role in such fortification offensive and defensive battles. The tiger squat cannons filled with iron sand and gravel were placed in the gap between the foy boards.

The artillery was slightly tilted down toward the attacking soldiers of the Shun Army on both sides. The range of iron sand and gravel was not far, but the range of shooting in such melee battles was extremely wide. Anyone who was affected was either beaten to pieces or suffered pain. The combat effectiveness was lost.

There was another scene inside the wing board. Bai Guangen's personal soldiers and soldiers in the wing team stood behind the wing board with big swords and axes. Everyone could only rush upwards. Anyone who wanted to withdraw from the wing board would be immediately enforced military laws. This is also the reason why the defenders behind the wing board fought to the death.

If you can't confront each other face-to-face, the opponent's firearms and bows are always hitting down, which is extremely troublesome. But Yuan Zongdi has made up his mind and issued a death order. The people in front of him dare not retreat no matter what, and can only urge each other to work hard to move forward.

Some of the wing boards were smashed, but the other party built them with sandbags. Hiding behind them with a spear, there was no way to do anything in a hurry.

It looks like the cart and the cabin plate are not too high and look very weak, but it is difficult to take it off when fighting. It makes people feel a little discouraged.

At this moment, the attacking soldiers of Shun Army heard the movement of a large group of people behind them. They thought it was reinforcements, but when they looked back, they found that it was the cavalry who had just gone out to attack, and they had already returned.

Whether it is reinforcements or defeated soldiers can be clearly seen from the military's actions. Looking at the panic appearance of their own soldiers, many people are a little panicked.

At this moment, I heard the soldiers in the car camp shouting:

"General He is here, General He is here."

With this kind of shouting, there were also bursts of cheers. The big insect of He Caizi was coming. Every soldier of Shun who heard the news was panicked. The few gaps that had just come out of the light cavalry were all opened. The Ming cavalry inside had been prepared for a long time and rushed out.

Taking advantage of the opponent's morale falling, he gave a heavy blow, which was also the trick to use troops. Yulin General Bai Guangen grabbed this critical moment and spread the cavalry out.

Although the Shun Army had psychological advantages over the Ming Army, although Yuan Zongdi sent out a strong army, but in a hurry, in this case, there was no other way except retreating.

In the front formation, in addition to the cavalry, the infantry also rushed out. This kind of repulsion would immediately form a cover and defeat. Yuan Zongdi, who was riding a horse to watch the battle, threw the whip in his hand to the ground, and repeatedly said:

"Send orders to the cavalry and let them pick up friendly troops!!"

The troops of Yulin General Bai Guangen were really unwilling to fight. After chasing for more than fifty steps, the sound of local retreating soldiers sounded. The infantry and cavalry horses retreated again. Many of the erected wings were destroyed. The Ming soldiers inside were nervously built into the gap with sandbags.

On the right side of the Ming army's chariot camp, there were flags flashing and people and horses were making noise. The banner was the Shaanxi general He Renlong. General Yuan Zongdi knew that his troops were newly defeated. He Fengzi from various units of the Shun Army led his troops over again, and he was afraid that his subordinates would retreat even more.

What you can do at this time is to retreat for a while, then stabilize the formation and fight again. Compared to being defeated and defeated, this is a secondary thing that is underestimated by the King of Rebellion.

Yuan Zongdi raised his head and closed his eyes. When he opened it, he calmly issued an order to retreat. He also saw the enemy retreating from the Ming army line opposite. Although he didn't know what would happen next, deafening cheers broke out from the Ming army.

The cheers sounded extremely harsh to the Shunjun here. It was especially clear that the Shunjun was planning this time, allowing the Ming army to get in, but the battle was still so embarrassing. Thinking of this, it made people feel even more embarrassing.

Yulin General Bai Guangen was already finished with his clothes. He sat on the horse, his personal guards surrounded him. When the fight was at an important time, he was ready to rush out as a reserve team. He was relieved when he heard the report from the underworld.

Shaanxi general He Renlong is indeed able to fight, but it is impossible to expect him to have the intention of rescuing friendly troops. Bai Guangen wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly. He thought that it was not because of his temporary urgent wisdom that he would have let a small team of cavalry rushed out from the east under the banner of He Renlong, and the situation might not be like what would happen!

No matter what, I finally got a short rest for myself. I could accumulate more strength and let my troops take a breath and my chances of survival will be greater.

Bai Guangen turned over and dismounted, and the soldiers behind immediately brought bamboo chairs and hot soup. Not long after Bai Guangen sat there, several soldiers dressed up rushed over, but when they saw their clothes on them were under the command of Shaanxi General He Renlong, when they saw these people, Bai Guangen's personal guards were all used to dodge, without interrogating or blocking them.

"Master General, He Caizi just repelled the thieves' harassed cavalry."

A man reported in a mysterious and mysterious way, and Bai Guangen glanced at him coldly. He said coldly:

"I am not a fool. I saw what happened just now. Is there any movement there?"

The man who spoke before smiled embarrassedly, but the other person stepped forward and whispered:

"He Renlong has a plan. He sent someone to discuss with the people from several villages in Shenwu Mountain. When he was about to see the disadvantage, he sent someone to lead the way. He ran in the east direction."

It turned out that the mountain villages were all outlaws, and now the mountain villages were all local gentry. Because they could not bear the torture of the Shun Army, they all hid on the mountain.

These people are born close to the court. He Renlong sent people to contact him. On the one hand, he offered various official positions, and on the other hand, he was tempted by gold and silver. Those people naturally obeyed their orders.

Hearing this, Bai Guangen was stunned, and suddenly stood up and threw the water bowl in his hand to the ground. He cursed angrily:

"This damn He Crazy Man is the hardest to fight in the previous game. I asked me to fight this first game. He hid on the right. I thought it was this."

Bai Guangen's circle was separated by his personal soldiers, and he was not afraid of outsiders hearing him say these words. After Bai Guangen got angry, he asked a few people around him to report the news:

"Can you come so swaying. Can you still go back?"

A man bowed and said with a smile:

"Please rest assured to the Lord. Our brothers and a few of He Crazy Men have already been on guard, but the villain's fellow villagers are still in his army. They are well-informed and will be sent out at that time."

Bai Guangen spat on the ground and said viciously:

"Let our horse team be prepared and go together when the time comes. The Ming Dynasty's surname is Zhu, but not Bai, and he has never fought for military households for generations. I will spend any effort with me."

After most of the Ming army was stationed here, Bai Guangen, He Renlong, Xu Dingguo and the commander Hou Xunzhi formed a large formation, but the commander Gao Jie, the general of Yansui, went ten miles towards Jia County. Gao Jie also explained to the commander Hou Xun, that he must fight in advance to block the enemy. If he was with the army, he would be too passive to be beaten.

He was going to take the initiative to go to Jiaxian to fight against Liu Tichun and Liu Fangliang's army, but Gao Jie was planning very well. Jiaxian was not good enough to accommodate more than 100,000 troops, but his more than 30,000 troops could accommodate him. At that time, he would be better than rolling in the wilderness.

As for who should decide the retreat of the supervisor Hou Xun, it is not his business. Self-protection is the most important thing, but the wishful thinking of the Yansui General Gao Jie did not.

After walking ten miles away, Liu Fangliang's front team had already arrived on the road. After the two sides' front teams briefly met, Gao Jie's front team suffered a setback and was not allowed to retreat for a mile to prepare for defending. Liu Tichun and Liu Fangliang were both generals who could conquer battles in the Shun army, and their troops were also powerful soldiers.

But when Gao Jie betrayed from the camp, most of the soldiers had dispersed. At present, there were not many military soldiers in his hands. Among the generals who suppressed the thieves, his soldiers and horses were stronger than the thugs who were bullied and tigers, and he was the weakest general in Shaanxi.

This time, Gao Jie knew the trouble when he met the powerful generals of the Shun Army, but anyone could surrender. Only he could not surrender. Gao Jie was also angry. He followed his subordinates and shouted:
Chapter completed!
