Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 423
Zu Keyong and Dong Sheng led the Standard Battalion and the Invincible Battalion to lie in ambush in the city for a long time. The shouts and guns outside were loud and loud. These soldiers were impatient, and now they finally got the order to attack. , One by one, two battalions of seven to 8000 people rushed out.

The Standard Battalion is all iron cavalry, of course rushing to the front, the Invincible Battalion is a mixed team of horses and infantry, and they are in the back. The men and horses of the two battalions crossed the moat and rushed to the battlefield more than ten miles away, no less than Jiaolong. go to sea.

For these two fresh troops, the land of more than ten miles is very close, because their horses run like a whirlwind, and they arrive at the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo's troops are in a miserable state now. Under the bombardment of the camel artillery team and the red cannons, the Burmese elephant army that Sun Kewang relied on was defeated and lost its combat power. That's all. The 10,000+ army was also bombarded by the red-clothed cannons, and they were turned on their backs. Coupled with the impact of the defeated elephant army and the trampling of the troops in the headquarters, the casualties were countless. Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo didn't care about them. Under the protection, he just escaped for his life, and his level of embarrassment was like a dog that lost its home, or a fish that slipped through the net.

They managed to get out of the range of the red-clothed cannon, and the camel cannon's shells were all fired, but Sun Kewang's troops were not out of luck, because the Standard Battalion and the Invincible Battalion rushed up. But this is an elite division that Lin Yi has brought out over the years and can hang the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. The standard battalion is a combination of Guanning Iron Cavalry and Tianxiong Army. Daying inherited the three major armies of the late Ming Dynasty and upgraded their combat power.

Comparing Sun Kewang's bandit army and Mu Tianbo's rebel army with Lin Yi's battalions, they are at best mobs, and they are not at the same level when they face a frontal charge when the two sides are fairly equal. What's more, the hopeful troops are already defeated, so when the two battalions arrive, they can kill them instantly!
Bang, bang, the soldiers of the standard battalion opened fire hundreds of meters away. First, there was a burst of muskets, and then they replaced the muskets with bows and arrows. Surrender, because of Lin Yi's order, those who surrender will not die, so these prisoners of the Ming army survived.

For those who resisted and fled, the Ming army continued to chase and wipe out the remnants of the enemy.

First use Zuo Liangyu, an average fighting force, as a bait to catch their elites, then use camel cannons and red cannons to counterattack, and finally use the standard battalion and invincible battalion to mop up the tail. Mu Tianbo's 10,000+ troops completely collapsed.

Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo led the remnant soldiers back to the company battalion several miles away in one breath. They thought it would be safe to run here, and the soldiers returned to the camp as if they were going home.

Sun Kewang used his troops skillfully. When he led the troops into battle, he was afraid that the Ming army would sneak attack on his camp, so he left 3 troops to guard the camp.

At this time, the second general has of course been reported. They never dreamed that Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo would be defeated so quickly, and they were defeated so embarrassingly. The 10,000+ army and the invincible war elephant, going out to fight in the morning, this is the most important thing. It's just afternoon!

The Second General immediately ordered an army of [-] to assemble and dispatch. They let Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo's troops confront the Ming army who was chasing after them. At first, they planned to shoot with bows and arrows, intending to catch the Ming army.

But the troops of the Standard Battalion and the Invincible Battalion of the Ming Army were charging while shooting, and they were not only bows and arrows, but also muskets.

If the weapons of the two sides are equal and shoot with bows and arrows, at most there will be mutual casualties. However, the most advanced self-generating flintlock guns equipped by the Ming army have a range far greater than that of bows and arrows. The muskets were set first, so that the rebels' bows and arrows fell down before they could shoot them out. Then, as the distance got closer, the Ming army replaced the muskets with bows and arrows. The sky passed like rain, and the Panjun army fell down again.

Therefore, the two sides have not yet contacted, and the [-] army has casualties everywhere. After the two horses come into contact with each other, these rebels will be even more unable to withstand it, and it can be said that they will be defeated in one blow.The rebels retreated into the camp one after another.

Only two generals, Ma Yuanli and Wu Bikui, led the guards to fight fiercely. At this time, Zu Keyong and Dong Sheng came rushing forward, one against one, and the four generals were killed in one place near the gate of the camp. .

Ma Yuanli is good at martial arts. Otherwise, when Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime, he would not have been allowed to be the leader of the left army. Now that he is still injured, he has met his rival Zu Keyong. Shen has great strength, so there is no Wuhe Kacha ax to cut Ma Yuanli under the horse.

Here Wu Bikui, the chieftain general in Yunnan, went down to Dongsheng to kill him. Ma Yuanli's screams distracted Wu Bikui. When he looked back, he was picked off by Dongsheng with a spear.Pan Jun couldn't resist the intention of the two chief generals, and there was no leader in the group. The rest of the troops died, surrendered, and fled.

Zu Keyong smashed his horse and rushed towards the gate of the camp first, and several rebels at the gate of the camp put their antlers across the gate of the camp, intending to block them, but Zu Keyong swung his big axe, and with one click, the road blocking the horse was smashed. The antlers were split in two, scaring the rebels at the gate of the camp to flee in all directions. Zu Keyong took the lead and rushed in. The Ming army poured in like a flood that broke through the gate.

At this time, Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo had just returned to the camp, they were still breathing, and they had no choice but to fight again. Now the two of them were exhausted. First they charged, and then they ran away. dozens of miles.

But at this time, it's not enough to be tired, escape is the most important thing, the camp will definitely not be able to hold, they don't even dare to fight, and with the remnants of the defeated generals, they abandon the camp and flee.

Zu Keyong and Dong Sheng commanded the two battalions, and they took over Sun Kewang's battalion in one go. The battalion consisted of more than 20 horses.

When Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo led the remnants of the defeated generals, they ran for more than 40 miles in one go. This time they couldn't run anymore. Seeing that it was getting late, and then looking back, Amitabha, thanks to the Ming army not chasing them again, they Just stopped to rest.

Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo looked at each other. One was more embarrassed than the other. They were covered in sweat and blood. They didn't know if it was the blood from their wounded body or the blood from the murder. Anyway, they couldn't care about anything now. With his mouth wide open, he gasped for breath, his heart pounding in his chest, as if his mouth was about to jump out.

The two of them couldn't take it, and neither could the sitting horse.Up to now, they have changed their horses two or three times, but even so, both horses were drenched in sweat.

After a cigarette, the breathing of the two people gradually recovered. At this time, looking at the soldiers who followed them around them, they were all in a panic, with their helmets crooked, and some of them ran away. Some of them lost their military boots, and some even lost their weapons. Now they stopped and staggered, as if they were drunk, and those who were injured were grinning in agony.

These are trivial matters. The generals of the defeated army are all shot like this. The key is that their team has shrunk significantly. Those who often lead troops can see it at a glance without checking. Their soldiers and generals are counted even the injured There will be no more than 5000 people.

At this time, there were still people running over one after another, until it was completely dark, and there were no more soldiers following behind. At this time, people were ordered to count the number of people. Injuries, one counts as one, there are only more than 5700 people.

And there is no think tank Yan Ximing here, a soldier under his command told Sun Kewang that he saw Mr. Yan die in the rebellion with his own eyes, Sun Kewang sighed.

20 horses lost so badly in one day, Mu Tianbo and Sun Kewang were speechless, and the rest was only depressed.

Nearby was an abandoned ruined temple, and these remnants and defeated generals were temporarily on guard near the ruined temple to rest their bodies. Sun Kewang, Mu Tianbo, Ainengqi, Sha Dingzhou and other generals entered the ruined temple.

This place is too close to the Ming army, of course they dare not stay for long, but they need to discuss, what is the next step?
Mu Tianbo planned to fight Lin Yi to the death after reorganizing his team. He wanted to fight Lin Yi single-handedly!

Sun Kewang shook his head and disagreed. He couldn't show his bravery. In fact, he was telling Mu Tianbo in a disguised form that it was impossible to fight Lin Yi alone. Even if he had such an opportunity, he would definitely not be Lin Yi's opponent. , Death in vain.

Sun Kewang advocated doing his own business, because they were born as thieves, as long as they were alive, they would find a way to make a comeback. They planned to go back to Yunnan and recruit horses. If Yunnan could not stay, they would go to Burma.

Mu Tianbo expressed his disapproval. Now they have been seriously injured. Apart from fighting to the death, they have to surrender. He is the king of Yunnan, and he knows very well that there are not many soldiers in Yunnan. Even if they recruit another 10 soldiers, it will not help. It doesn't work even more. How can Myanmar, which is a tiny place, fight against the Ming Dynasty?The elephant army they relied on has been wiped out.

Sun Kewang came up with another idea, or go to Li Dingguo, or join the Zheng family army in Fujian. In the end, Mu Tianbo didn't agree. Mu Tianbo had two ideas, either fight to the death with Lin Yi, or surrender.

There was a disagreement between the two chief generals, and at midnight that night, Mu Tianbo pulled his more than 2000 Yunnan chieftain soldiers and Sun Kewang parted ways.

After Sun Kewang got the report, he didn't chase Mu Tianbo, but just sneered, "Since the surname Mu is willing to die, let him go!"

There were only 3000 people left, and Sun Kewang didn't dare to stay here for a long time. He left the ruined temple with his troops overnight. A few days later, Sun Kewang and his troops ran from Sichuan to Yunnan.

At this time, Sun Kewang got another report that Mu Tianbo took over 2000 of his troops to occupy Duiying Mountain and became the king of the mountain. He hurriedly ordered someone to bring a military map. There was indeed Duiying Mountain dozens of miles away from them.

"Zhanshan is the king, and the surname Mu will really find the way, and I will go to be the king of the mountain first!" Sun Kewang also found a dangerous high mountain called Dieyun Peak dozens of miles away from Duying Mountain. Settle down.
