Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 887 The Last Struggle

Tian Jianxiu stood on the top of the slope on horseback, looking at the enemy camps on three sides, which were layer upon layer.A flock of flying birds startled from the bushes in the distance, and the hot air made the mouth and nose ache, but Tian Jianxiu seemed unaware, looking at the distant land and the distant sky, as if he couldn't see it at all. not enough.

Now Tian Jianxiu can be said to have run out of ammunition and food. Of the 23 troops, less than 6 are still around.But Tian Jianxiu felt a little proud. He had dragged Butcher Wu's troops here for thirteen days.

What kind of thirteen days is this!Tian Jianxiu couldn't bear to look back.Only now did he know how strong Butcher Wu was and how skilled his troops were in combat.If Tian Jianxiu hadn't tried his best, and if the soldiers hadn't been united and obeyed Brother Chuang Wang's words, they might have broken through the line of defense by Butcher Wu long ago.

Tian Jianxiu couldn't help laughing bitterly.He always thought that his Dashun army was invincible, but when Butcher Wu's troops showed off to the fullest, he realized how much he had been watching the sky from the bottom of a well.

But now Tian Jianxiu has a clear conscience.It is quite a remarkable thing to be able to block such a strong army for thirteen days.At the most, he would just fall here, and he would just be worthy of brother Chuang Wang and Shunjun's brothers.

Tian Jianxiu reviewed the battles of the previous few days and found that his command did not make any serious mistakes.Dashun Army's 23 soldiers and horses had less than 20 soldiers against Wu Butcher, and they themselves put on a defensive posture, which should be said to be quite cautious.But Butcher Wu's victory was nothing more than relying on his sharp firearms, pushing him up step by step.

I just didn't expect Butcher Wu's firearms to be so powerful that they could defeat so many of his troops; and he didn't expect that so many former Ming troops who had surrendered would turn back again, which led to this passive situation.Think here.Tian Jianxiu couldn't help cursing in his heart: "This group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!"

The only good thing is that there are still more than 5 brothers who are willing to follow me, and there are also [-] old frontier soldiers among them.With them here, no matter what, we must find a way to drag Butcher Wu for a few more days.

But after giving up the fantasy of winning, Tian Jianxiu also felt relieved.A smile appeared on his face: "It's nothing more than death, I will live enough. It's a pity for these brothers who share life and death."

"Brother Tian! The official dog is out of the camp. We have to make preparations." A general of the Shun Army said.

"Let's take all our troops out of the camp too. Don't stay with the people in the camp. If you can survive today, you can survive. If you can't survive, break out to the officers and soldiers in this direction. You must obey my orders. Let's break through together, and when we arrive It's only one who can escape." Tian Jianxiu pointed to the direction of Yu Zilian's Heiyun Army and said.

In the end, Tian Jianxiu was still unwilling to let the surviving Shunjun brothers be buried here, so he still looked for a direction with weaker combat effectiveness to break through.But Tian Jianxiu didn't think about fleeing north to the capital.At this time, he still wanted to disrupt the deployment of the Runing Army.If it can make Butcher Wu and the others confused for a while, delay his steps.This is also Tian Jianxiu's final contribution to his brother Chuangwang.

……

"Remember! Don't be in a hurry! It's not too late for a day or two. Haste makes waste, fight steadily!" Wu Shigong repeatedly urged the officers who came out to command the battalion, but his heart was already burning with impatience.

This time going north to the capital, to be honest, the whole Runing army underestimated the enemy.After all, the soldiers and horses going north are strong and strong.Moreover, the total strength exceeds 17, which can be said to be the first time that the Runing Army has assembled such a large force.Even facing the 10,000+ Dashun army in the second round, the same is still the case.

I thought that I could easily win Hidebu Tami, but I didn't expect him to be quite tenacious.So in the beginning of the battle, the Runing Army fought a little impatiently, and indeed suffered some unnecessary losses.Coupled with the fact that some troops who had just surrendered to the Runing Army were eager to make contributions, the battle became even more chaotic.If it weren't for the huge difference in combat effectiveness and equipment.Maybe the current Runing Army will fall into a stalemate.

Fortunately, Wu Shigong, Xue Yongli and others discovered this problem in time, and they made a request to the troops.Just ask them - slow down!

And this slowing down made the Runing Army succeed again and again, because the Runing Army, who was fighting every step of the way, would not be able to show any flaws, which made it difficult for Tian Jianxiu to deal with it.When Yu Zilian's Heiyun Army arrived again, the strength gap between the two sides became even greater.In the end, many troops of the Dashun Army finally couldn't hold on anymore.

Some troops fled in a big rout, while more troops surrendered to the Runing Army and the Heiyun Army.So far, the total strength of the Runing Army has risen instead of falling, and it has already exceeded 25.Even Yu Zilian's Heiyun Army has nearly [-] troops.

But what surprised Wu Shigong and the others was that Tian Jianxiu led the remnant army of less than [-] and still persisted.They neither fled nor surrendered, they just wanted to hold back the Runing Army and the Heiyun Army.This also made Wu Shigong's heart burst into flames.

And the current Runing Army can't ignore this remnant army.Bypass them and go straight to the capital.Because this is also one of the lowest mistakes in military affairs, and an enemy army that is confronting in the field must not be left on the way forward.

Because three 10,000+ troops are different from [-] troops, and more than [-] people are different from six people.The [-] troops can do too much, and the Runing Army will never leave such a big hidden danger in the back road.

That's why when they were in Hejian before, the Runing army and the Qing army would approach each other to fight as soon as they found each other.And in Xuzhou, why did the Qing army have to eliminate the calligraphy and ink department in the field before the whole army was willing to enter Guide.

If you still don’t understand, let’s give another example: In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao’s 20 was against Yuan Shao’s [-].Why didn't Yuan Shao leave a [-] army to confront Cao Cao, and the other [-] soldiers went around and directly attacked Cao Cao's lair-Xuchang?

This soldier is impermanent, and it is not without the possibility of success if he is really defeated like this.However, such a division of troops is more likely to be defeated by Cao Cao, adding many variables, which will greatly reduce the possibility of winning, so Yuan Shao absolutely dare not do this.

Anyone who dared to make such a dangerous move, unless he was a lunatic, or he would be a daring and famous general with a high degree of art.Obviously, Wu Shigong is neither a lunatic nor a famous general, so he absolutely dare not take this risk.

But here is one more thing to pay attention to: this is for when the enemy dares to fight in the field.If the enemy only dares to hide in the city, it doesn't matter if he has a million troops, he can still act as he wants.This is why the Qing army was so reckless every time they entered the customs, because the Qing army had already seen through that the Ming army would not dare to go out to fight in the field.

But Wu Shigong did not dare to send a small group of troops to the north to reinforce Yang Rusong's troops.Near the current capital, there are two powerful armies, the Dashun Army and the Qing Army. The Runing Army sent too few people, and they are likely to be eaten by them.There are too many dispatches, and I am afraid that the above things will happen.So this put Wu Shigong in a dilemma.Therefore, the current Runing Army can only wait until Tian Jianxiu's Dashun Army is completely wiped out before going north to the capital.

Today's Runing Army and Heiyun Army have surrounded Tian Jianxiu on three sides.In fact, the battle situation has come to an end at this time, it is nothing more than to see how long Tian Jianxiu can last.

However, to the surprise of Wu Shigong and the others, today's Dashun Army no longer defended the camp, but came out of the camp, which made Wu Shigong and the others heave a sigh of relief.Wu Shigong also showed a long-lost smile on his face.He said to Xue Yongli: "The Shaanxi thieves are still fighting."

Xue Yongli also nodded with a smile, and then he yelled: "Bring up your spirits! Prepare to end the battle today! The delay here is too long."

The Runing Army was still very careful not to allow the artillery to rush forward and concentrate on shooting, so as to prevent the cavalry of the Dashun Army from counter-charging the artillery.They maintained a tight infantry and artillery formation, pressing towards the Dashun army step by step.

Tian Jianxiu looked at the dozen or so phalanxes approaching, smiled wryly, and said, "Butcher Wu really thinks highly of me, and gave away all his wealth."

Then Tian Jianxiu drew out his saber, pointed in the direction of the Heiyun army, and ordered loudly: "All charge in this direction!"

Today's Dashun Army no longer pays attention to any formations, as soon as they heard Tian Jianxiu's order, they all rushed towards the Heiyun Army screaming.

The phalanx of the Heiyun Army is not as good as that of the Runing Army, and the formation is very irregular, so the queue will stop after walking a few steps.But in this way, their progress was slower, which gave them more time to prepare.

Seeing the charge of the Dashun army, the soldiers behind the Heiyun army immediately pushed the carts to the front of the formation, forming a row of carts, and then all the archers and musketeers also ran up.

"Blah blah blah—!"

"Whoosh whoosh—!"

Gunshots continued and arrows rained down.Soldiers of the Dashun Army fell one after another, but they were still charging desperately.If you can't rush out, you have no way to survive, so all the soldiers of the Dashun Army are desperately moving forward.

Finally, someone rushed to the side of the cart, and they began to move the cart, trying to rush into the formation of the Heiyun Army.This made many Heiyun Army soldiers panic all of a sudden.Many archers and musketeers stopped shooting and ran to the back, trying to make room for hand-to-hand combat.But when they ran, they misled some soldiers of the Heiyun Army and told them to run back, which made the Heiyun Army's formation suddenly chaotic.

Today's desperation of the Dashun army was beyond the expectations of the Heiyun army, so it also made them feel a bit at a loss.So the soldiers of the Heiyun army who were supervising the battle in the rear immediately stepped forward and killed a few soldiers who did not obey the order, and wanted them to turn around and join the battle.
