Body 163 [Fierce Battle]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    More than 10,000 officers and soldiers evacuated with their luggage. A few old antique mortars must be given up, but the two Franco cannons have time to carry away.

    This thing is light and detachable, and five or six people can march with one gun.

    Hearing the charge in the anti-thief camp, Li Maofang immediately ordered: "Give up the luggage, go to the hill in front of you to line up, and pour money and food along the way. Remember, throw more copper coins and broken silver!"

    Although the officers, soldiers and generals were reluctant to part with it, the battlefield had reached a critical moment, so they had to scatter the looted silver.

    Seeing that the opponent actually ran to the hill to form an array, Zhao Han also stopped the charge horn, blew the horn to gather troops to form an array, and slowly advanced towards the enemy on the hillside.

    On the top of the slope, Li Ruolian was inexplicably horrified: "These thieves don't even want any money!"

    Li Maofang was also shocked. He originally wanted to spend money to destroy the formation and morale of the rebels, and then rely on the superiority of their troops to kill them.

    This trick is very effective against rebels. Li Maofang has succeeded several times before.

    Unexpectedly, the soldiers under Zhao Han's command lined up neatly and walked through the area full of money, but none of them bent down to pick it up!

    Everyone has selfishness, and so do Zhao Han's soldiers.

    However, everything captured must be returned to the public, which is repeatedly emphasized by the missionary officer.  If it was in private, maybe some soldiers hid and refused to pay, but who would not see the money picked up on the battlefield?  The money he picked up was not his own, and he would be dealt with by military law instead. Soldiers with a normal mind knew what choice to make.

    Although a few mortars were lost, at this moment, the situation is more conducive to the officers and soldiers fighting.

    Before Zhao Han stood firm in the camp, the officers and soldiers had to slowly fill up the trenches, and then attacked the rebel camp. Moreover, there were trenches in the camp, so the officers and soldiers could drink a pot of arrows with archers.

    Now it is the officers and soldiers occupying the high ground, and Zhao Han leads the troops to attack the hills!

    Although Li Maofang is greedy, he also knows how to fight.  After he lined up his troops, he suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "Give me an order to kill a traitor and reward five taels of silver. Kill a traitor officer and reward ten taels of silver. Kill a traitor general and reward a hundred taels of silver."  Two. Whoever can capture Zhao Yan and Zhao Yaonian will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

    Silver in the hands of Li Maofang has endless uses.

    It can be spread out to harass the army of rebels.  You can offer rewards to boost your morale.  You can feed your boss and colleagues, let everyone help him speak, and you are not afraid of a lawsuit before the emperor.

    Li Maofang is very smart, he is not a fool who just takes money when he is greedy.

    In his opinion, if silver cannot be used, it is no different from stone.

    As soon as the reward was offered, the morale of the officers and soldiers was immediately boosted.  In addition, they had more than three times as many soldiers as Zhao Han, which for a while actually downplayed the negative emotions of their own navy being repelled.

    "Hurry up and assemble the Folang machine gun! The archers stepped forward and shot the bandits!" Li Maofang shouted.

    There are only more than 500 archers among the officers and soldiers. They were originally deployed on warships, but now they are transferred to land to shoot and kill rebels.

    The thousand archers on Zhao Han's side also dispersed into a sparse formation and stepped forward.

    Huang Shun and Li Zheng, each with 500 soldiers, went around to the opposite side's flanks, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    ? The archers on both sides shoot at each other, one side occupies a high position, and the other side has more people.

    Fei Yinggong is now the captain of a hundred archers. The bows and arrows used by these guys are different. They are the standard stone bows used in the martial arts exam.

    An arrow shot out and hit an officer accurately, and Fei Yinggong specifically looked for the officer to attack.

    What Xiong Yao used was the seven-dou bow, and he followed the soldiers in salvo.  He aimed for the enemy's head, but shot an arrow into the target's calf.

    "Boss Zheng, go attack the bandits' archers!" Li Maofang shouted.

    That Chief General Zheng, with five hundred soldiers, took advantage of the gap between the archer's stringing, and rushed down boldly.

    The flag was waved, and Jiang Dashan and Jiang Liang each led 500 people to come forward to meet them.

    ?The archers on both sides retreated respectively, and 1,500 melee soldiers strangled together. Zhao Han's central army was only left with more than 1,000 people, and 500 people from each flank circled out.

    "The first six outposts, all out to kill the thieves!"

    Li Maofang launched an attack immediately when he saw the opportunity. He felt that he had the upper hand in the army, and he could kill the rebels with a pile of people.

    Li Ruolian also shouted: "Siege and kill the bandits!"

    The two of them had the same idea, thinking that Zhao Han was too mentally retarded, and his troops were not enough, so he actually divided his troops to circle around the two wings.

    Zhao Han's central army will soon be surrounded by officers and soldiers several times larger than himself.

    Zhao Han smiled and said to Fei Ruhe: "I'll be on the left and you on the right, and form an formation together as bait."

    "No problem." Fei Ruhe said.

    oneHe led five hundred soldiers, and suddenly killed four times as many officers and soldiers as himself.  Moreover, these officers and soldiers collapsed without warning, and it was too late for Li Maofang to send a reserve team to rescue them.

    Just because most of the two thousand officers and soldiers are village braves recruited by the prefect of Linjiang, and a small part are young and strong picked from civilian husbands, their fighting power can bully the peasants.

    They first besieged Li Zheng's 500 soldiers with an absolute advantage, and fought for a long time to no avail. Instead, Li Zheng stabbed dozens of them to death.  After nearly a hundred casualties, the two thousand miscellaneous fish collapsed in an instant, and they were afraid of being served by a military judge, so they did not dare to flee back to the direction of the commander, and collapsed directly towards the Ganjiang River.

    Li Zheng immediately led his troops towards the enemy's commander, Zhang Tieniu also rushed through, and the rebels, who had less than 1,000 soldiers, went straight to the rebels' central army, which was superior in strength.

    Seeing this, Li Maofang rode on his horse and ran away. How could he care about his own army?

    Li Ruolian was stunned for a moment, and the sixty-nine-year-old Jiangxi general also hurried away on his horse.

    Although the horses of the officers and soldiers are rare, the two generals must have horses.

    As soon as they fled, the formation of the Chinese army of officers and soldiers immediately collapsed, because there were not many officers and soldiers left in the Chinese army because of the continuous dispatch of reserve troops.

    "kill!"

    At this time, Zhang Tieniu had been injured in five places, and led the slave army in pursuit.

    Li Zheng did not continue to chase, but led his troops back to meet Huang Shun on the right.  Huang Shun was facing a hard bone, and he was still stalemate in the fight.

    As for the besieged Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe, there was no need for Li Zheng to rescue them.

    6,000 officers and soldiers were unable to attack, and were attacked from behind by 1,000 archers, which was equivalent to being surrounded.  Before Li Maofang and Li Ruolian escaped, the six thousand officers and soldiers began to collapse, and at this time the whole line collapsed.

    The entire battle lasted about twenty-five minutes if counting from the time when the archers shot each other.

    The next step is to chase the enemy and receive prisoners.

    According to post-war statistics, 41 people were killed on Zhao Han's side, 18 people were seriously injured, and more than 100 people were slightly injured.

    Moreover, the most casualties were not the Chinese army who were besieged by 6,000 officers and soldiers, nor the casualties caused by archers shooting each other, but the slave army led by Zhang Tieniu who charged.

    This guy gave up defense completely, and just kept going forward to kill, so that the reserve team sent by Li Maofang didn't dare to go forward to fight.

    As for the officers and soldiers, including civilian husbands, a total of more than 16,000 people went to the battlefield.  However, the number of officers and soldiers who were shot or killed head-on was actually less than 700.

    Very outrageous data, the two sides had a total of more than 20,000 people fighting, and the total number of people who died in the actual battle was less than 1,000, and the winner was quickly determined.

    It is not even clear whether the two main generals Li Maofang and Li Ruolian fled first, or the main force of the officers and soldiers on the frontal battlefield collapsed first.

    On the contrary, during the pursuit, hundreds of officers and soldiers were stabbed to death, thousands of people jumped into the river and drowned, and the casualties were more than twice that of the frontal battle.

    Neither Zhao Han nor Fei Ruhe had the chance to use force, and they were directing the defensive battle throughout the entire process.

    After a long time, Zhang Tieniu came back leading a war horse with a head in his hand.  The guy was covered in blood, and said with a smile: "It's unlucky for him to be chopped off, and he broke his leg while riding a horse."

    Zhao Han said speechlessly, "How many places were injured this time?"

    "I don't know," Zhang Tieniu was still laughing, "Don't worry, brother, I'm not stupid, and I can still hurt people's vitals?"

    Zhao Han looked at the captives who were taken back one after another, there were thousands of them, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

    These captives selected some who did not do much evil to join the army, and threw the rest to mines. The newly occupied iron mines were in urgent need of miners.

    Li Maofang, the governor of Jiangxi, and Li Ruolian, the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi, were accompanied by only two or three soldiers.  Because there are too many rivers in Jiangxi, I can't run even on horseback. I often run, walk, and circle around the river.

    After a journey of more than two hundred miles, the two rode for nearly ten days, and finally returned to the other side of the river in Nanchang City.

    When I asked across the river, I found out that Wang Siren's navy was defeated!  </div&gt
