Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Li Sanhe didn't feel relieved until the artillery on the hillside was dragged into the camp.Seeing Cheng Niu's lively scene from afar, Li Sanhe smiled and shook his head.at this time.The peasant army camp on the middle road suddenly became lively.Li Sanhe immediately shouted: "Team! Prepare to fight!"

In fact, before the battle even started, Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying and the others already knew that the Runing Army had come to rob the camp.Ma Shouying and the others are also veterans.Although they judged that the Runing Army wanted to retreat, Ma Shouying still sent some spies to guard around the camp of the Runing Army at night.

So although Li Sanhe was careful when he left the camp, he was still discovered by a spy from the Peasant Army.However, it is impossible to gallop on horseback at night, and that spy is also Ma Shouying's man.So when Ma Shou deserved the reward, it was too late for him to notify Liu Guoneng.

After that, Liu Guoneng's camp was full of noise. Ma Shouying immediately gathered his troops and wanted to go to support them.But before Ma Shouying finished gathering, Liu Guoneng fled with hundreds of his own soldiers.After inquiring, I found out that Liu Guoneng's camp had been lost.

This made Ma Shouying and others dare not act rashly. The soldiers and horses who robbed the camp must be a strong army, which is why they broke Liu Guoneng's camp in such a short period of time.Therefore, Ma Shouying immediately defended tightly, waiting for the dawn, and then depending on the situation.

As the sky brightened, Liu Guoneng's rout soldiers also ran over scatteredly. At this time, Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai knew that there were only more than 2000 Ming troops who broke through Liu Guoneng's camp.So they immediately prepared to fight back, and Liu Guoneng basically lost his say because he lost his troops.

But how to fight back?Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai also had a headache.After all, Liu Guoneng's camp was very well-organized, and there were trenches and fences facing the peasant army on the middle road.And now it's too late to go to Xiangyang to gather cannon fodder, so I can only use my own elite.

Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai each dispatched 3000 soldiers, and Liu Guoneng also dispatched [-] escaped soldiers.Nothing to say.After serving wine to see them off, Ma Shouying and the others rode on horseback and bowed their hands to the selected soldiers continuously.

"Brothers, my old Luo doesn't know how to speak very much. Just one sentence! I will take care of everything behind you!" [

"As long as my old horse has a bite to eat, the brothers' family members will have a bite to eat. Even if you cut the meat, you have to feed the brothers' families!"

Both Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai spoke loudly in their own formations.They all knew that the Runing Army who came to rob the camp was well equipped with weapons, so the death rate of the first batch of soldiers would definitely be high.

And those veterans of the old battalion, either voluntarily, or by drawing lots, are always a group of people selected.This is also the old rule before every big battle. These people didn't show any fear. Hearing what the two said, someone shouted loudly:

"Master Ma! Our old He will be with you in this life, and will fight for you with a knife in the next life. We have no regrets."

"Master Luo! If it wasn't for you, I would have been eaten by someone. If you saved me, then this life would be yours!"

These people are all diehards of Ma Shouying and Luo Rucai, so no matter how hard-hearted they are, they are a little excited when faced with the words of these diehards.Ma Shouying gave a deep bow before Luo Ru wiped his nose, and shouted loudly: "Go to hell! I will definitely find you a good coffin."

same.The Runing Army is also mobilizing here.

Li Sanhe rode on a horse and shouted loudly: "Running and fighting in the middle of the night, my old Li knows that the brothers are tired. But no matter how tired you are, you have to grit your teeth and get through this. Defeat the bandit army on the opposite side! After returning , My old Li treats guests, and the mutton is full! Hurry up and kill those vegetarians on the opposite side!"

"Oh!" There was a burst of applause from the Runing army immediately.

"My lord! You are too stingy, you want to invite Hollywood!" A naughty soldier uttered a strange cry.Immediately aroused even louder applause from the soldiers.

"I don't have so much money!" Li Sanhe immediately yelled, and then he couldn't hold back anymore, he rubbed his chin and laughed.After laughing a few times, Li Sanhe immediately ordered: "The whole army leaves the camp!"

The reason why the Runing army gave up the camp and defended it was to fight with the peasant army in the middle road.If you can attract as many peasant troops as possible.When Xue Yongli's main force arrives, the battle of the main force will proceed more smoothly.

"What's going on?" Ma Shouying and the others had just left the camp with their troops when they saw the Runing Army three or four miles away also marching out of the camp, so Luo Rucai immediately exclaimed: "Why did they come out? ?”

"Good! Good! Good!" A long-lost smile appeared on Liu Guoneng's face.With so many Peasant Army troops, they can deal with more than 2000 Runing Army.This field battle is definitely much easier than an assault battle.

Yang Chengzu on the side was also quite surprised: "Is it directed by those civil servants with broken heads?" [

In the battle between the Peasant Army and the Ming Army, they were often in desperate situations, but often at that time, the civil servants who commanded the Ming Army would make many weird decisions to let the Peasant Army escape from death, so those of the Peasant Army The leaders always believed that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were their "close friends".

"Bullshit!" Luo Rucai immediately scolded with a smile, "Hurry up and kill those official dogs. Since they robbed the camp last night, the main force of Butcher Wu is coming soon, let's deal with this side first."

"Oh!" Yang Chengzu immediately agreed with a smile, and then rode forward to command.

Ma Shouying asked a little worriedly: "Did the Eight Great Kings inform you?"

Luo Rucai nodded, and replied: "Send someone early. I have already told him to cover our front, but we have to delay for a while, let us defeat the team of officials in front of us. And I am also posing in front of us." Two thousand cavalry."

What Luo Rucai said made Ma Shouying and the others immediately feel at ease.

An infantry regiment of the Runing Army formed a square formation, and the cavalry regiment was divided into two teams behind the two sides of the square formation, forming a triangular formation.The artillery of the Runing Army did not drag out of the camp, preparing for the cover of the troops of the Runing Army to withdraw into the camp in case the battle situation was unfavorable.

As the battle was about to begin, the battlefield suddenly fell silent.But after a while of silence, the drums of the peasant army were loudly beating, and all the soldiers of the peasant army shouted in unison.

Under the command of Yang Chengzu, the soldiers of the peasant army at the front began to walk out of the formation, leaning forward with knives and guns in their hands. The pace of these soldiers was not fast, as if they were marching forward. , but the vertical column is very deep. Behind these soldiers, there are cavalry cavalry of the Peasant Army who are riding slowly to keep up.

But as the Peasant Army moved forward, the whistle from the Runing Army also sounded at the same time, and the firecrackers in the front row also began to move forward, and the brigade behind them also slowly followed.

"No!" Liu Guoneng was surprised again, "It's not right to fight like this. If those officials move, the formation will definitely be chaotic. Isn't this a mess, hahaha——! It's really a bargain for us!"

Although the battles of the Ming Dynasty also paid attention to formation, they did not pay much attention to formation training.Even the Qi family army at that time walked ten steps and stopped every time, and the corrective line was neat.So according to the routine, the Runing Army should stop with static.So this kind of hedging made those leaders of the peasant army who had never fought against the Runing army think that the commander of the Ming army probably had a broken head.

"Don't be too happy. Wu Butcher's training is very good." Luo Ru knew that the Runing Army could maintain a neat formation during the movement because it had fought against the Runing Army.But before the battle, he had no choice but to praise the enemy, which made Luo Rucai's face darken.

Although they knew that when they approached each other, they should try their best to suppress the speed at first, so as not to get charged or lose energy after charging, the soldiers of the Peasant Army, and those elite veterans, unconsciously quickened their pace.

The leaders of the front team all yelled at the top of their lungs. This charge is going to die, but it can't die in vain. No matter what, they have to rush to the opponent.

Three miles, two miles, one mile.Soon, the distance between the two sides was only seven or eight hundred steps.Although it is already close, the distance of a few hundred steps is not a short distance for marching in formation on the battlefield.

And the Runing Army came forward with such strides, the monotonous whistle was so harsh to the ears of the Peasant Army.This orderly and uncluttered formation also seems to be pressing down like a mountain, and it also adds a mountain-like pressure to the hearts of every general and soldier of the peasant army coalition who already has the will to die.

At a distance of [-] paces, the flag-bearer soldiers at the front of the Runing Army's phalanx stopped in their tracks. The whistles were also two long whistles, and then they stopped in the same way.

The musketeers and pikemen stopped at the same time.The firecrackers began to quickly check the firecrackers in their hands, making preparations, while the flag bearer holding the banner turned around and walked into the square.

The flag bearers of the Runing Army are the bravest soldiers in the army, and their responsibility is to protect the flag of their troops.However, unlike the regular standard bearers in the late Ming Dynasty, the flag of the Runing Army was not immovable, and the command function of the flag was also weakened, so at this time, the standard bearer entered the safest center of the phalanx holding the flag.

The peasant army soldiers walking in the first row saw the firecrackers raised by the opponent.They also had some fear in their hearts, but they suppressed it and walked forward as steadily as possible.

110 steps, [-] steps, [-] steps, almost every ten firecrackers has a captain who erected the firecrackers, and they ordered at almost the same time: "Flat firecrackers!"

In fact, this is the order to fire.Loud noises and gunpowder smoke burst out from the long front at the same time, and the peasant soldiers walking in the first row fell to the ground without any suspense. (to be continued...)
