Chapter 268 How to write Wang Yong's distressed battle report
At this time, the bandits suddenly discovered that the soldiers of the Liu family army behind them lived and ran to them first. Although the Liu family army was the first unit of the Ming Dynasty to be transformed into a mule and horse, it does not mean that they cannot run.
In fact, in the training of the Liu Family Army’s new recruit battalion, armed marching is a daily training subject. It is fully armed for five kilometers every day, and the difference is ten kilometers or twenty kilometers. Fortunately, the distance between the two sides has not been widened.
When most of the soldiers of the bandit infantry discovered it, the soldiers of the Liu family had already run to them and lined up along the Yinzi River. A powerful crossbow had already opened, and the terrifyingly sharp arrowheads had already been embedded in the arrow groove. They pointed straight at the bandit army. A cold and bloodthirsty aura swept across the entire battlefield, which was so shocked that the whole army under Lao Huihui changed his face.
The most terrifying thing is that when they heard the clanging sound of their armor, the ground was shaking slightly, hundreds of heavy infantry rushed out from behind like a group of tanks, and hundreds of giant axes were carried on their shoulders. With only Liu Ming's order, they would immediately chop down without any mercy, causing the bandits to be killed and injured everywhere!
The powerful crossbows were surrounded by powerful soldiers and their murderous aura soared into the sky. Faced with such a battle, the bandits couldn't help but have their hearts and gallbladders and almost didn't urinate. The bandits who originally wanted to resist stubbornly also chose to put down their weapons and squat down with their hands in their arms, even without daring to see through them.
This one-sided bloody battle has scared them to pieces, especially the corpses of bandits killed by the powerful crossbow. They found that most of them were shot in the vital points of their necks and chests, and the majority of them were shot in the chest. The sharp arrows passed through the chest, piercing through the heart or lung lobes and penetrated the spine. The bandits who were shot in the arrow often lost consciousness before they fell to the ground. They didn't want to use their bodies to taste the taste of being penetrated by those terrible triangular arrowheads. In their eyes, these officers and soldiers were simply the incarnation of demons, and no one dared to touch their bad heads.
There were more than 27,000 bandits on the east bank of Yinzi River, including about 9,000 young and strong, and more than 18,000 old, weak and corrupt scholars.
Liu Xingxian, the commander of the Infantry Regiment of the Eighth Regiment, reported to Liu Mingyu very regretfully: "Marty, all he caught was a few small shrimps. He had already asked. The dozen big leaders under Lao Huihui's command had already left when they saw that the situation was not good. They had a horse, but they were afraid they had run away now!"
“Good job!”
"The new recruits fight on the battlefield!"
"yes!"
Cleaning the battlefield is a very test of a person's willpower, especially the battlefield is full of blood. The weather is hot now, unlike in winter, where the smell of blood will soon be covered by ice and snow.
Soon, some new recruits reacted unwell. Seeing the new recruits suffering, Liu Mingyu was in a very good mood. A large number of free coolies could be found in our Hou’s mines and factories.”
Liu Mingyu saw the soldiers of the new recruits kicking the bandits to the ground very roughly, and he hurriedly rushed to the soldiers who were tied up with ropes and shouted: "Be gentle! These are powerful laborers. If you break your arms, you will lose a lot!"
The soldiers of the Liu family were amused and laughed, but they took a little lighter action.
When the bandits heard that they wanted to treat them as coolies, they felt much more at ease. For them, as long as they had food, it didn’t matter whether they were a coolie or a bandit. Don’t think that being a bandit was very glorious.
In fact, any industry is the 28th law. No matter what you do, it will always be the one who is at the top of the pyramid. For example, some people think that the film and television industry has a high income. In fact, the author Jun is also a professional screenwriter. He is doing very miserable, and there are many people who are even worse than the author Jun.
In fact, most bandits are not much better than coolies. Not to mention that they are poor, bandits storm the state and run into the palace, and they seized a lot of materials. Unfortunately, ordinary bandits do not have the right to distribute materials. Not to mention eating well, they cannot even guarantee three meals a day, and they are often in danger of their lives. They either fight with other bandits or bandits, or are surrounded by officers and soldiers, or treat them as cannon fodder when siege...
The reputation of bandits is even worse, it’s not that there is no way. Most people will not choose to be bandits. They originally thought they were dead this time, and they would definitely be beheaded if they were caught. Unexpectedly, Liu Mingyu just asked them to be coolies, and they were simply overjoyed!
"How about casualties?"
Liu Mingyu looked at the eight new recruits.
"Forty-seven people were killed in the new 1st regiment and one hundred and forty-one were injured!"
Liu Mingyu frowned.
"Twenty-one people died in the new second regiment..."
Before Liu Mingyu finished listening to the report, he looked at the new recruits and said, "Why are there so many casualties?"
The generals were very puzzled.
After fighting more than 30,000 bandits, there were actually thousands of cavalrymen, less than 300 killed and more than 670 injured. Is this a lot?
The new recruits did not dare to refute Liu Mingyu's words, and Mao Yuanyi held the battle report he had just counted: "How can this be called too much?"
Liu Mingyu pointed to the armed equipment thrown on the ground by the bandits and said, "Watch a bunch of bandits with incomplete armor, thousands of casualties will be killed or killed. Isn't it too much?"
Mao Yuanyi thought that Liu Mingyu's standard was really not very high, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "Do you know how many bandits we have killed?"
"How many have you killed?"
"Preliminary calculations show that there are more than 8,000 corpses left on the battlefield, and more than 4,000 injured!"
In other words, the casualties ratio between the enemy and us reached 12 to 1, while the number of casualties was close to 30 to 1. This was the first battle of the new recruits of the Liu family army. It was already very scary to be able to make such an exchange ratio.
Liu Mingyu then nodded reluctantly and said, "Twelve to one, it's a sloppy. When you go back, you need to strengthen your training. The cooperation between the spearmen, the sabreman and the musketeer is not tacit enough, and it needs to be strengthened for running-in. However, considering that we have only been training for three months and have been repairing the city for more than three months, this performance is pretty good."
The bandits almost cried. You only had three months of training to beat us like this. If you were to train for a few more years, would we still be alive!
Regardless of whether they survive or not, this is the gap between professional soldiers. This is the difference between the army and bandits. Although bandits are brave, their discipline is scattered and the mountain doctrine is very serious. If they fight, they are not as good as the dog, and it is difficult to form a joint force. A well-trained army can often easily defeat bandits who are several times more than them.
Although Liu Mingyu did not use elite troops, he only used the new recruits to train troops. The new recruits had only been trained for more than three months, but the training intensity and strict training were the best in the Ming Dynasty. The hard queue training and unique expansion training have cultivated a good tacit understanding. The almost harsh hand-to-hand combat training almost trained them into robots who could only thrust guns and slash and slash. A group of mobs fought with such an army and would not be beaten out of shit!
Of course, the poor combat effectiveness of bandits is generally recognized, and Lao Huihui is the top combat effectiveness among bandits. As the saying goes, the moon will be the first to get close to the water tower. Lao Huihui is very close to the Governor's Office on the Three-Border Governor's Office, and the Governor from the Three-Border Governor is a place that the court does not pay much attention to, and the military pay supply is far less than that of the Guanning Army in Liaodong.
Therefore, many of the three-sided troops were hungry. According to incomplete statistics, there were as many as 10,000 people in the three-sided troops who ran to Liu Mingyu. The border troops of Lao Huihui were probably more numerous. This was also when the bandits in the world were still playing the tactics of the sea of people, Lao Huihui had already begun to attack from all over the east and west, and detoured sideways.
In fact, this is already a battle with heavy casualties between bandits. The casualties are so severe because the Liu family army is well equipped and has strong firepower, especially the crossbow machine. The eight new regiments of the Liu family army are equipped with more than 20,000 crossbow machine. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, no army can compare with each other.
The bandits collapsed too quickly and lost too badly. The bandits who stayed on the west bank of the Yinzi River still don’t know what happened on the east bank. As a result, they saw Lao Huihui running back in a panic, and hurriedly ran away with Lao Huihui. In a hurry, horses trampled on, or pushed each other, and killed each other, and another wave of casualties was added.
Lao Huihui ran forty miles towards Huaian in one breath, foaming at the horses, and then ordered the cessation of advancement. After counting the troops, Lao Huihui turned green with anger.
Originally, there were more than 30,000 people in his unit. He traveled from Fenzhou through Taiyuan Prefecture, and carried 60,000 to 70,000 people along the way. The entire army had a total of 100,000 people. At this time, the bandits following him were still there. The leaders of the eleven small battalions only sold Ma Guangyu from the vanguard camp, but the number of people was less than 35,000.
This means that Lao Hui lost more than 60,000 troops in one battle.
"Why did I think of provoking Liu Mingyu this bastard!"
Thinking of this question, he suddenly remembered Qiao Wenshan. He was regarded as a gun by Qiao Wenshan. Although Qiao Wenshan claimed to be Liu Zhilun's aide, Lao Huihui was not stupid. He had actually investigated Qiao Wenshan's true identity.
"Jiexiu Fan, let's calculate this battle later!"
Lao Huihui's eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea: "Let's go, let's go to Weixian!"
"Weixian? Why go to Weixian?"
"We have been fooled by Jiexiu Fan's family, so we must settle this account with them!"
Lao Huihui also knew very well that the defeat of this battle would also affect his prestige among the bandits. He had to stabilize the hearts of the people as soon as possible. The only way was to get money and food. Of course, in recent years, Lao Huihui's family's wealth was not bad.
After a while of rest, Lao Huihui led his troops to continue to advance and headed to Chaigou Castle in the northwest of Huaian County.
Although bandits never had logistics when fighting, as Lao Huihui, he still had an elite army of old battalions, with more than a thousand people. He was not responsible for fighting, but only cared for his old battalions' materials and gold, silver and soft materials. These materials were actually stored in Chaigou Castle.
When Lao Huihui arrived at Chaigou Castle, it was already afternoon. At this time, Lao Huihui's troops were tired and hungry. From last night until now, they had not had time to have a meal.
Fortunately, there were Lao Huihui under the command of Chaigou Castle, and the leader of Chaigou Castle quickly prepared food for Lao Huihui and others to have dinner.
Once Lao Huihui picked up the chopsticks here, he saw the broth in the bowl ripples.
Lao Huihui knew that there were a large group of cavalry approaching Chaigou Castle.
Holding the rice bowl and eating, he climbed up to the roof. Looking at the dense crowds of thousands of cavalry in black-clad clothes and armor outside Chaigou Castle, Lao Huihui's heart seemed to fall from the ice cellar.
"Come on, run!"
Although Lao Huihui also knew that the cavalry troops could not attack the city, the cavalry of the Liu family army was fat and strong, and they were completely different from their robbers. As long as they were entangled by this cavalry, they would not leave.
"Retreat quickly, withdraw quickly..."
Lao Huihui didn't care that the broth was burning, so he hurriedly drank the broth, picked up a few steamed buns and stuffed them into his arms, and hurriedly ran towards Weixian with his personal guards.
Liu Mingyu thought that he could capture more than 20,000 people at this time, which was the biggest gain. Unexpectedly, the bandits seemed to be free from stocking, and a group in the east and a group in the west ran all over the mountains.
Is that need to be said?
"Catch it, this is all free labor!"
The eight new recruits that Liu Mingyu had basically dispersed and caught these bandits everywhere. Groups of bandits were tied up, not even enough ropes.
Chapter completed!
