Hearing that the officers and soldiers were crossing the river to fight, Chen Dafa was almost shocked. He rushed out of a private house and quickly gathered troops to prepare for the battle. The officers and soldiers were so unexpected. They actually took the initiative to attack. It was really rare!
Moreover, he rushes to take action before he can lead his troops to confront each other. This is so unreasonable. It seems that the leader of the troops is a brainless and hot-tempered guy. After a little provocation, he lost his composure and left it to work.
There was no need for fortifications, so we had to fight across the river.
Brainless guy, let me show you how powerful I am! Chen Dafa gathered his troops and immediately advanced forward. Although there were three thousand against three thousand, he was absolutely confident that he could defeat the officers and soldiers.
However, when he advanced, the hundreds of cannon fodder left on the south bank of the Guxi River for provocation could not withstand it. Facing the furious officers and soldiers crossing the river, they began to flee with almost no resistance. This made the officers and soldiers flee.
confidence soared.
When they mobilized by the river early in the morning, the officers and soldiers already knew that the rebel army only numbered 500 regular troops and the rest were refugees and were vulnerable to attack. In addition, there were ambushes on our side, so no matter how we tried, our chances of winning were high. At this time, they held fire and crossed the river to kill them, almost in the blink of an eye.
The hundreds of thieves fled in panic. As expected, they were vulnerable. Their morale was boosted. Xu Hongji and others also screamed and ordered the soldiers to continue to advance south. After walking three or four miles, they saw thousands of thieves approaching with the same murderous intent.
.
The battle is finally about to begin, and the soldiers are gearing up to fight fiercely. Regardless of whether it is for official or private reasons, whether it is for a reward or for face, this battle must be won! And they also have absolute confidence! They are the best,
Can you still lose five against one?
The thief army does not think this way. The morale and combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers in recent years have become increasingly worthless. Although the officers and soldiers are still a little bloody, they are still not good enough. The only thing that makes Chen Dafa slightly confused is that the intelligence shows that there are a thousand officers and soldiers.
Cavalry, if it is cavalry, it may be troublesome, but the officers and soldiers in front of them have never seen so many cavalry, but this doubt is fleeting. To the west of this place is the Yangtze River and to the east is the Qingshan River. There are large and small swamps and lakes within a radius of more than ten miles.
In addition, it is a rainy day, so there is no advantage in cavalry combat, and it may even become a liability.
Kill! Chen Dafa was furious that his hundreds of cannon fodder had been killed by the officers and soldiers. At this time, the main force of the two parties was not talking much about the confrontation. He raised his hand and shouted: "Surge into Dangtu and rob for three days!"
"Surge into Dangtu, grab money and women..." the bandits shouted, swung their swords and rushed towards the officers and soldiers.
Before Lu Daqi could open his mouth, Wuzhong took the lead and said, "Fuck him!" He raised his knife and hit the horse and rushed over.
Uh...fuck it~ Lu Daqi could only roar like this, and the soldiers roared and charged forward.
The battlefield was some distance from the top of the city, and the rain and fog affected his vision. Although Chang Yu was high up on the top of the city, he couldn't see clearly. However, he was not in a hurry. Only the soldiers came and went to report on the battle situation there. What surprised him was Xu Hongji and Zhao Zhilong.
, Zhu Guobi and others also crossed the river to join the battle.
I thought that these cowards would mostly watch the battle by the river, but now they impulsively crossed the river to join the battle. It seems that my heart was really stimulated by him again and again, or they were too confident that this battle would be won or lost.
.
Of course, no matter whether they win or lose, they are surrounded by dead warriors and servants to protect them. Even if they participate in the battle, they are under heavy protection. The chance of expecting them to kill a few bandit soldiers with their own hands is not high, but they can stimulate morale in the battle.
"Sir, let's take a gamble." Li Muxian took out ten taels of silver from his arms and said with a smile on his face: "I bet that the officers and soldiers will definitely win!"
Chang Yu laughed, stretched out his hand to snatch the silver from Li Muxian's hand and stuffed it into his arms: "You think you have definitely defeated the governor, don't you?" Li Muxian was startled and frowned: "In your opinion, this is a situation, sir.
Is there any other surprise?"
"There is no surprise, but do you think you will win?" Chang Yu smiled half-heartedly, while Li Muchian looked confused: "If there is no surprise, it is impossible for the bandits' 500 elite soldiers to withstand the attack of our 4,000 soldiers and horses, unless this
The bandit army will have reinforcements at that time.”
Chang Yu looked towards the south, where there was drizzle and faint sounds of killing could be heard: "Cannon fodder is not a human being!"
Cannon fodder is of course human beings, most of whom are refugees who have been kidnapped by the bandit army. There are also many who voluntarily join the bandit. Although they are not regular soldiers, they can kill people with a knife, and the ugliness of human nature is often displayed vividly at this time. Originally,
They are the oppressed poor people at the bottom. Once they enjoy the pleasure of bullying others with a steel knife in their hands, they will lose their conscience and become extremely vicious!
In this state, there is a certain degree of combat effectiveness under the blessing. Of course, if this kind of combat effectiveness encounters the Dongchang Fourth Battalion or Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji's elite troops will be vulnerable, but against the Nanjing soldiers who have been without fighting for a long time and whose military discipline is lax.
From a horse perspective, it’s hard to say who will live and who will die.
Almost at the moment when the two armies came into contact, Lu Daqi and others felt something was wrong. If the refugees were scattered under such an impact, on the other hand, these people in front of them had red eyes, swung their swords and howled, and there was no trace of fear at all.
He couldn't help but take a breath of air in his heart. If he hadn't done enough mobilization before and used various means to stimulate morale, he was afraid that his side would not be able to handle it as soon as the attack started.
Looking around, the two armies were fighting against each other in the rain. The blood and water on the ground were mixed with muddy water... Fortunately, the officers and soldiers were at least not weak. Lu Daqi frowned and watched the battle from behind, but Xu Hongji and others led his servants to charge into the formation.
Fighting, the swamp and quagmire with a radius of several miles is full of fighting figures. Wuzhong's war horse got stuck in the quagmire and he simply abandoned the horse. He used a long knife like chopping vegetables. No one could withstand the power of his sword. Thief
The army saw his bravery and surrounded him with several people, but he was wearing heavy armor and was fearless. No one dared to approach him for a while. When he was really in a deserted place, and even when his hand was weak, no one dared to touch him while he stood to take a breath.
At this time, Chen Dafa finally felt that something was wrong. On the way from De'an to Wuhu, he never encountered any officers and soldiers who took the initiative to attack. Even if they had several fights with officers and soldiers, they would collapse at the first touch. He had never encountered such brave officers and soldiers today. Not only did they take the initiative to attack, but they also
He's pretty tough too.
It seems that he underestimated the Nanjing soldiers and horses. Chen Dafa gritted his teeth and couldn't help but sneered when looking at the battle situation. This group of officers and soldiers was unexpectedly a bit tough, but they didn't take any advantage. They could control it with only five hundred elite soldiers.
In the overall situation, if there were a thousand elite soldiers, the officers and soldiers would have been defeated by now. However, these cannon fodders performed very well! No matter how hard they tried, they were still sure to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, so they led a few personal soldiers into the formation.
However, there was a problem with the morale of the officers and soldiers here. Many of them were on the battlefield for the first time. They rushed over with the same strength just now. After seeing the blood and seeing the cruelty of the battlefield, they couldn't help but feel fear, and their hearts began to beat. In addition, they were originally
The refugees who thought they were defeated at the first touch were extremely brave, and even before their own reinforcements showed up, they became timid.
Lu Daqi is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. After watching the battle, he noticed that the morale of the army was abnormal. He did not know when Jin Shenghuan's reinforcements would arrive, but he knew that the morale of the army collapsed in an instant. He must quickly stop it. The only way now is... to go into battle in person.
.
"No sir!" Immediately the soldiers stopped him. Lu Daqi was a civil servant and he was already sixty years old. Going to the battlefield at this age would simply cost him his life!
"Why not!" Lu Daqi roared angrily, and charged forward with his horse. His followers on the left and right did not dare to stop and patted their horses, and followed them into the formation. At the same time, he shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, the traitors will die..."
When the officers and soldiers saw the commander entering the formation and heard the reinforcements arriving, they did not have time to check whether they were really coming during the fight, but they immediately became interested in fighting again. While fighting, they shouted: Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming...
Sure enough, this call had an immediate impact on the rebel army. After all, they were mainly refugees and they felt fearful when they heard reinforcements coming from the other side.
Where the hell did the reinforcements come from? Chen Dafa was also startled when he first heard about it. He looked around at the misty rain curtain but couldn't see it. There was nothing strange about it based on his feeling. However, the situation that had already gained the upper hand was changed again.
He turned around and felt angry. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Lu Daqi. Knowing that was where the commander was, he said, "Capture that dog officer." Then he led half a hundred elite soldiers to kill him there.
But at this moment, he saw a strong man in iron armor rushing toward him with a sword. He couldn't help but be shocked. The killer who had appeared out of nowhere had already reached this point and was stopped!
