Chapter 81 Choice
"I guard the prisoners by my siege, and follow me to rush over to reconcile with the general, and kill the Tartars!"
Seeing Yin Yue leading Wu Shuo into the stream, Chen Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the overall situation was settled!
During this period of time, among the three thousand generals under his command, Wu Dengke and Li Ruixin have always made Chen Wenxin more respectful. Although Yin Yue, a subordinate, is impeccable in loyalty and ability, he always likes to be clever. In addition, he is deeply bewitched by feudal superstitious ideas, which makes Chen Wen not as relieved as the other two.
The most important thing in this battle is naturally the main battlefield of the dominance. This is the only way to intercept the Qing army. In addition, the four posts of A, B, C and D have always been under the charge of Wu Dengke, and Li Ruixin also has a cavalry team to lead, so he handed over the task of independently commanding the flanking battlefield to Yin Yue.
Although he still cannot get specific data on the flanking battlefield, he annihilated the advantageous Qing army with extremely disadvantaged troops. Even if he was not sure whether he consciously used the bamboo forest to strengthen the advantages of the mandarin duck formation under narrow terrain conditions, Chen Wen was very pleased with this.
At this moment, the Qing army was powerless to restore the situation, and all that was left was how to expand the results of the battle.
"Mr. Li Qian, take your own flag back to me!" The Qing army was in a state of defeat. He pointed at the general flag of Li Rong, deputy general of the Left Camp, and Chen Wen immediately issued an order to Li Ruixin.
"As for the order." After saying that, Li Ruixin immediately led the cavalry of the cavalry team of the Nantangying Central Army to turn on their horses and rode their horses from the edge of the stream towards the Qing army's general flag.
"Li Shuai, it's okay to do something, so let's go quickly."
Even if his uncle is a favorite general under Tian Xiong, he can only sit in the real power of the Qianzong at this age, and even lead a guardian, Xu Lei is definitely not the one who has not experienced the battle formation. At present, the entire Qing army has been wiped out in a daze. If he doesn't run away at this time, when will he wait?
Seeing the Qing army that was defeated by the battle, Xu Lei's persuasion was heard. Li Rong, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, knew very well that he was no longer able to turn the world back at this moment, but he was already very unfair. At least in his subconscious, even if his Lubin Left Camp was defeated by his opponent with such a disadvantage, it should be the Eight Banners Army of the Qing court. How could it be a group of bandits from Siming Mountain?
Putting aside these thoughts that had nothing to do with the moment, Li Rong immediately signaled his personal soldiers to cut down the flag. He knew very well that as long as the flag was turned down, the Qing army would inevitably be even more chaotic, and only in this way, the head coach could escape in the chaos.
Just as Li Rong ordered his personal soldiers to cut down the flag, Xu Lei, who was still observing the enemy situation, immediately noticed a figure. He saw the man leading the cavalry and galloping on the rolling iron stream. The Qing army beside him was like a wind swaying in the grass, and could not achieve even the slightest ties.
"Li, Li, Li Ruixin!"
Xu Lei widened his eyes and looked into the distance, trying to wake up from this nightmare, but what he got was to confirm the identity of the visitor again.
How could Xu Lei not know the most famous warrior in the younger generation in front of him? Moreover, he had some special entanglements with the Li family, which made him react more quickly.
Li Rong's general's flag was cut down, and his personal soldiers had no time to create greater chaos. Just as Li Rong was about to call the nephew who came with him to escape together, Xu Lei drew his sword and slashed Li Rong's war horse on the butt, then shouted "Li Shuai Run" and then drove the horse to the north of the road.
After Li Rong's war horse was injured, he immediately neighed and ran away wildly. Li Rong's war horse was originally a good horse, but at this moment he had obviously lost his mind and ran straight all the way. After knocking down several people, he fell to the ground.
At this time, Li Ruixinye had led the Ming army's cavalry to the forefront, and erected the horses and paddled to kill several personal soldiers who had stepped forward to protect Li Rong who had been pressed on the ground by the war horses. Seeing that Li Rong could no longer escape, he immediately turned to chase Xu Lei.
"You guys are optimistic about Li Rong and General Qi. They are all the military merits of our cavalry team. Everyone else goes to chase the brigade, and I go to chase the Tartar general!"
While Xu Lei noticed Li Ruixin, Li Ruixin also noticed Xu Lei. Although Xu Lei is not particularly famous among the young and middle-aged warriors of Huang Degong's army, his uncle Xu Xin was a military general who was quite familiar to Li Ruixin. Especially on the day when Huang Degong died in battle, it happened to be the old camp where Xu Xin was responsible for guarding the family of Lieutenant General Huang Degong's army...
Just as Li Ruixin rode his horse to pursue Xu Lei, the slogan "Surrenderers avoid death" sounded on the battlefield. As the Qing army dropped their weapons, more and more officers and soldiers fell to the ground.
"kill!"
After stabbing the Qing army who was shocked by the rattan player beside him to death, An Youfu saw no other Qing army trying to resist. Although Shi Daniu who was following him was always trying to protect him, the stupid martial arts skills were really ridiculous. If the rattan player in front of him had not been fighting hard, how could he, who was limping, kill all these Qing army trying to resist so easily.
Seeing that the Qing army around him was no longer trying to resist, An Youfu turned to look at the temporary partner. Although this man was holding the weapons from Nantang Camp, he was not wearing armor, and his appearance made him feel even more disgusted.
"Brother, which whistle are you from?"
Luo Yongzhong, who was wiping his waist knife on the Qing army's body, immediately felt embarrassed when he heard this. "That, here is the temporary auxiliary army."
Temporary auxiliary team?
Isn’t it just those defeated soldiers?
Hearing Luo Yongzhong's answer, An Youfu's face immediately showed a little displeasure. Not to mention that the auxiliary soldiers' duty should be to assist the fire soldiers in rescuing the wounded and sick, just saying that these people were afraid of death in the Battle of Siming Lake, An Youfu, who has always claimed to be a warrior, was quite disdainful.
Just looking at the corpses of the Qing army in this place, An Youfu's displeasure was immediately reduced. After all, most of the auxiliary soldiers here were killed together with him and Shi Daniu. It can even be said that if he was not the person, the wounded soldier and Shi Daniu, a fool with different martial arts, would be killed by the Qing army. He would have to bear the favor of this person no matter how he said.
At this moment, the messenger loudly conveyed the military order to reorganize the team. An Youfu immediately rushed to report with the help of Shi Daniu, but before leaving, he turned his head and expressed his gratitude to Luo Yongzhong.
"My name is An Youfu, I am from the Fourth Killer Team of Armored Sides. If someone asks you what you did when you are fighting, you will kill the Tartars with me and I will testify to you."
After saying that, An Youfu hurriedly walked towards the team's position, and Luo Yongzhong's gratitude followed. "Thank you, Brother An, I'll go back to do things now."
After saying this, Luo Yongzhong hurriedly ran to a Ming army wounded man not far away and helped him walk towards the military doctor behind the formation.
The battle was completely over. The Qing army who were still present had kneeled down and surrendered. Seeing the brave and extremely brave soldiers of the Zuoying camp kneeling on the ground and begging for forgiveness in the Battle of Siming Lake, Luo Yongzhong couldn't help but feel sad in his heart while he was happy.
If General Chen and Nantang Camp were there during that war, how great would it be? So many loyal and brave soldiers died on the shore of Siming Lake. They shouldn't have died in vain.
Walking on the road, Luo Yongzhong was so worried that he was about to cry, and the injured soldier in Nantang Camp who was supported by him quickly spoke out to comfort him.
"Brother, this is a great victory. We killed so many second Tartars in Nantang Camp, which are not worthy of our ancestors. It can be regarded as avenging the robes who died in Siming Lake. You should be happy."
Hearing this, Luo Yongzhong nodded heavily. The wounded soldier was right. He also killed several Qing troops in this battle. It was worth noting that he insisted on staying and acting as the auxiliary soldier. Finally, he avenged his revenge for his fellow comrades and could also wash away the shame of his escape.
"What my brother said is that I really don't treat this little daughter as a sign."
"Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong, it's normal, haha."
Along the way, the two of them were talking and laughing, just like the other Ming troops around them.
"If the engineers killed me, how could the Tartars have hurt me if it weren't for the trap? If it weren't for the fact that they had caused quite a lot of trouble to the Tartars before, I would have to argue with them."
The wounded soldier in Nantang Camp was a wolf. On the eve of the Qing army's collapse, he rushed up to suppress the Qing army, but he fell to the ground with one foot and dodged, but was still stuck in the leg by the Qing army's spearmen. If the team's long card player had not rushed up to attract the attention of the Qing army, he would have been unfortunate.
But in Luo Yongzhong's eyes, although he knew that Nantang Camp was all new recruits who had never been in the battle, they were all rare warriors. Otherwise, how could he defeat the Thunder Biao, known as the elite of Zhejiang Green Camp, with extremely disadvantaged troops.
Seeing that they were about to reach the temporary placement of wounded soldiers, the Ming army on the flanks was already carrying beheadings and spoils, and escorted the prisoners across the stream and rushed to the main battlefield.
"According to the order of the general, the Wushou, the Jishou and the Central Military Firearms Team, six teams, including the one to sixth squad, were ambushed on the other side of the stream. At the beginning of the battle, the Tatars crossed the stream, and led their troops to fight with them in the bamboo forest, and they were lucky enough to win. They beheaded 106, captured 311, and seized them in vain. However, dozens of Tartars still fled, and they were unable to catch up with them, and they were sentenced to death."
The battle was the first to end the flank battlefield, so naturally it was also the fastest to calculate the beheading, capture and capture. Chen Wen was quite happy when he heard Yin Yue’s report and immediately praised him.
"Mr. Yin Qian beheaded 106 people with 172 people and captured more than 300 people. It is a great victory. What is the crime? What makes me even more pleased is that Mr. Yin Qian uses the terrain to strengthen the advantages of my Mandarin Duck Formation in this battle. Obviously, he has worked hard on weekdays. If he can persist in the future, he will become a good general!"
"I thank the general for my humble position."
After asking about the casualties, Chen Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, one dead and three injured, and more than four hundred were captured. The Mandarin Duck Formation was undoubtedly revealed in the terror of the narrow terrain. Judging from the flags of the Qing army, they were all soldiers from the Right Camp, and they were not soft persimmons, but they had no power to fight back in front of the Mandarin Duck Formation, which made him full of confidence in the future.
Listening to Yin Yue describing the details of the battle, Chen Wen quickly understood what was going on. The Ming army on the flanks had only two whistles, but they were facing more than 500 Qing troops. They did not dare to underestimate the enemy and kept fighting in a rampant manner. In such a narrow terrain, the Yuanyang Formation was extremely powerful, either eleven people, five people, or two fighting combinations really took advantage of the Qing army fighting alone, so such an exaggerated exchange ratio occurred.
"No wonder Qi Jiguang was like a huge pirate village in the top level when he was fighting Japanese pirates. This formation was narrow on the road and the southeast coast where the water net was crisscrossing was really perverted."
After praising Yin Yue and the meritorious soldiers, Wu Dengke also calculated the casualties and the results.
"Report to the general that Bei Zhi was ordered to lead four posts, A, B, C and D, and four teams including the seventh to tenth in the military firearms team to fight the Tartars on the road. Twenty-eight people were killed in this battle, and ninety-four people were seriously injured..."
There are so many!
Although it was expected, Chen Wen was quite surprised by this. After all, only two people were killed in the first confrontation, and the seventeen injured were all slightly injured. At the end of the battle, twenty-eight people were killed, which means that the two rounds of artillery and the final charge were killed in total. However, this was still the case where the vertical formation was used to reduce the attack surface by two thirds, which made Chen Wen sigh.
Artillery, this is a problem that this rebuilt Qi family army must face. Fortunately, a good tradition has been left in this battle. I just hope that this tradition can be passed on.
"...In this battle, level 458 beheaded, 335 prisoners were captured, and the Tartars were completely defeated."
There were more beheadings than prisoners, and he was indeed red-eyed, just like he did before. Chen Wen had no desire to blame this, and he rushed into the Qing army's artillery position just like that. Even if this was not the case, he would not have any disgust. This is the battlefield, either you die or I die. If the Ming army was defeated, with the style of the Qing army, I am afraid that no more than 500 soldiers here would survive.
At present, this is just the result of the battle on the main battlefield. The Qing army behind the formation fled north and the cavalry team was already chasing. It is estimated that there will be some results, even if there are not many, there should be some.
"Take a book to see the soldiers who died."
When he walked to the place where the fallen soldiers were parked, Chen Wen bowed to the brave soldiers who died in front of everyone, and finally stood up again after a long time.
"If I had not died with great generosity, how could I have achieved this great victory in Nantang Camp? Not only these robes, including this general, but even those who have lost their lives will remember all the heroes. You guys, it's easy to go!"
“It’s easy to walk all the way!”
All the Ming soldiers present shouted in unison to commemorate the lost heroes. Even the members of the temporary auxiliary troops shouted together with other soldiers from Nantang Camp.
"Nantang Camp..." Luo Yongzhong murmured to himself, thinking in his heart.
At the same time, on the road north of the battlefield, Xu Lei was still riding his horse and trying to get rid of Li Ruixin's pursuit. Along the way, he threw all the weight of things on the road, bow bags, quiver pots, waist knives, horse oars, cloaks...
Anything that could slow down the running speed of the war horse was thrown out without hesitation, just as he almost shaved his beard at the war horse. He could compete with Cao Mengde in the must-read military book "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of the high-level Qing dynasties in the escape technique. But even so, Li Ruixin still followed closely and did not want to let him go.
Suddenly, Xu Lei, who was riding on the horse, looked sideways and saw a lightning flash. Xu Lei subconsciously came to hide in a stirrup. But unexpectedly, the flying waist knife was clearly coming towards the war horse, and it was inserted into the butt of the war horse. Just like when Xu Lei was plotting against Li Rong before, the war horse neighed and roared in severe pain, and threw Xu Lei down in a few strokes, ran for a while and fell to the ground.
Xu Lei, who was so painful about the fall, saw that Li Ruixin had turned over and got off the horse and came with a paddle in his hand, and hurriedly said, "Brother Li, everything in the past is wrong with my younger brother, but my mother-in-law and Qian'er are still waiting for me to go home. You can let me go."
