In the past three days, the two armies have been fighting each other, and both sides have no chance to calmly organize their camps. The refugee army's main camp just north of Feixiaji only erected a single-layer fence wall, and piled some obstacles in front of the fence wall.
There was no time to dig a trench.
The rain was pouring, and except for a few awnings, there were still campfires burning and sentries guarding them. The entire camp was plunged into darkness, and the soldiers all hid in their tents to take shelter from the rain.
There were not many tents in the camp that did not leak. In addition, the terrain was low and it rained all night again. Many places were flooded. Most of the people did not sleep all night. The soldiers ignored the ban and moved to take shelter from the rain.
It was already chaos, so we were lucky not to blow up the camp on the spot.
Finally seeing that the rain stopped, the sentries went around looking for dry wood to light the campfire, while the officers held lanterns and shouted to find their soldiers.
Several piles of firewood were wetted. The first thing to be lit was the flagpole lantern. Like a flag hoisting, a long line of lanterns was hung up, providing some faint light to the surroundings.
This light was far from enough. An officer of the refugee army stood under the flagpole and shouted loudly: "Where are the people at the camp gate? Why haven't they lit the campfire yet? If the officers and soldiers steal the camp, they will chop up your chickens."
Ba!" Before any sentry could respond, there was a roar at the gate of the camp. An officer carried a lantern and flashed a sharp blade. Only then did someone wake up and scream: "Attack the camp!"
It had just rained heavily, and several tents were kicked down and set on fire, but the fire could not spread. At this time, the sky was slightly clear, and it would be dawn soon. This was a large camp with 3,000 people stationed, and Xiao Kui'an could not tell.
After hearing the chaos at the campfire, I led people to rush where they wanted to go. I rushed from the south end to the north end, almost falling into the flooded pit, and then turned to the west and rushed west. I wanted to pass through and take advantage of the opportunity to reach the camp to the west of the bandits.
Also causing chaos...
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the main force of the Huaihe River Crossing Army on Feixiaji also moved away the obstacles in front of the camp and came out one after another, forming a fish scale formation and moving forward to prepare for a breakthrough.
The main camp of the bandits in the north could not light up the fire because of the heavy rain. Liu Tingzhou used the morning light to watch the people in the main camp of the bandits running around in chaos, while the front line of the bandits only had more than a hundred soldiers rushing in hastily.
, there is no obstacle at all, knowing that Xiao Kui'an and his dead soldiers have successfully disrupted the current enemy camp!
Liu Tingzhou wore lacquer-dyed leather armor and a metal pocket over his crimson official robe. He straddled his horse, held the reins with one hand, and drew his sword with the other. He shouted: "Generals, Tingzhou and you will advance together to break the flow of killing."
Thief!" He waved his sword and gave the marching order.
Generally speaking, after the fish scale formation leader is in the center, Liu Tingzhou directs the battle between the two square formations on the second level, moving forward with the formation. Once the front line is blocked, Liu Tingzhou himself will engage the enemy. Although it is dangerous, it also arouses the generals.
The morale of the soldiers is high.
Teng Xingyuan was in the middle, although he put on armor for Liu Tingzhou. Teng Xingyuan's riding skills were very poor, but fortunately he was surrounded by close followers, and there were people leading the horse in front. He actually replaced Liu Tingzhou as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, commanding and coordinating the entire Yulin Army.
Formation, concentrate the troops, break through the main camp of the bandits in the due north direction.
Horse suit, Ma Rulong is behind the formation.
This time to cross the Huaihe River to aid Xu, nearly a thousand private soldiers of the Ma family were dispatched. After all, Yuan Mafu's father-in-law, the King of Chu, was dispatched to support Xu. Although the thousand private soldiers of the Ma family were incorporated into the crossing Huaihe army, the actual command authority was not with Mafu.
They did not give up, with Ma Rulong as the main general, and the horse uniforms also followed in the army. In the previous tough battles, the Ma family's private soldiers did not participate much, and they still preserved their strength well. This time they concentrated on breaking through, the horse uniforms also have to win.
The position behind the array.
The fish scale formation moved a little slower and took a little more time to burn the incense, but also rushed to the main camp of the bandits directly opposite. The hundreds of defenders on the front base did not form a substantial obstacle. The gate of the main camp had been set on fire, and in the chaos
Two to three hundred prominent bandits gathered to prevent the army from entering the camp. They were crushed like a mantis holding a car, and thirty to fifty people were killed on the spot. The rest fled.
There was no doubt that the enemy's main camp would be destroyed, so Xiao Kui'an led his dead soldiers to break into the camp to the west of the bandits.
There was a low-lying land between the main camp and the west base, which was flooded by stagnant water. Dozens of bandits were driven to the west by Xiao Kui'an and his dead men. Watching them flee in panic into the low-lying land that was flooded by stagnant water, they fell into a trap.
You can't see your head when you go in!
"There's a trap!" Xiao Kui'an was shocked. The bandits didn't dig a trench in front of the camp, but they dug a big trap between their own camps. It was too weird.
At this time, he saw a row of crossbows raised on the wall of the bandit's west base, and the arrow clusters flashed with cold light. Xiao Kui'an's back was chilled, and he immediately understood that the bandit's main camp was a trap. A wave of random arrows came, and Xiao Kui'an was too far forward.
He was short and held a shield to cover his calf, and his calf was pierced by an arrow. They rushed over from left and right to protect him and retreated.
In the early morning after the rain, the weather was cool, but Xiao Kui'an was sweating profusely on his forehead. He broke off the arrow on his calf and pulled it out. The hole in the arrow continued to bleed. He stopped a running horse, jumped on the horse's back and looked around.
The Huaihe crossing army almost moved in full force. The front ranks fought to the front of the camp, and tens of thousands of people filled the open space between the two armies. Retreating at this time would only cause collapse chaos. The only way to do this was to follow the established route and escape from the bandits.
The main camp direction is heading north.
At this time, it was necessary to confirm whether the bandits had set up an ambush to the north of the main camp. Xiao Kui'an mounted his horse and asked someone to pick up a spear for him. He carried the horse's head, turned to the north, and called someone: "Xu Gou'er, go and report to Liu
Sir, the main camp of bandits has been destroyed. We need the army to slow down and kill all the rebels in the main camp of bandits as much as possible. We will be the pioneers and show the way for the army... Remember, don't say any other nonsense!"
Telling the truth at that time might very well lead to chaos. Xiao Kui thought that the bandits might not have expected that they would attack the camp this morning. Even if there were ambushes behind the main camp, the heavy rain that lasted until midnight would still have caused them to be wet.
Ling Ba Luo, as long as the road to the north is explored and the army goes through like spears, there may not be any chance of turning defeat into victory...
Sun Ganzi and Malantou were both at the western camp of the refugee army. When they saw the officers and soldiers stealing the camp after the rain, they were so excited that they shouted: "Young man Liu Tingzhou, someone shot me with an arrow the year before last. Today I am going to retaliate."
It's a revenge with one stone!" At that moment, he wanted to have people remove the obstacles in front of the west camp and lead the cavalry to stand out.
"Wait a minute!" Malan grabbed Sun Zhanzi's head. The officers and soldiers were in the fish scale formation, and there was no chaos yet. They rushed from the flanks. The flanks of the fish scale formation could be divided into separate troops to fight. He said, "It's not the right time yet. The officers and soldiers are moving in full force this time.
If you open the bow, there will be no retracement arrows. The weak point of the fish scale formation is the back and abdomen. When the front wings of the officers and soldiers pass through the main camp in the middle, and the buttocks behind are exposed, you can lead the cavalry to insert from the tail to the front wings, and then the formation of officers and soldiers will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Fuck it to pieces!"
"You are the only one who has more tricks!" Sun Ganzi's heart was agitated and his blood was boiling. He straddled the horse, placed his saber across his knees, held it down forcibly, and watched as the array of officers and soldiers entered the main camp.
In order to lure the officers and soldiers crossing the Huaihe River into being fooled, all the soldiers in the main camp were not withdrawn. There were still more than a thousand people inside, so Xiao Kui'an made a surprise attack at night and did not notice anything unusual. The more than a thousand people themselves were disrupted, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Resistance, just scattering and running for their lives.
Except for the chaos in the main camp of the bandits, the camps on the east and west sides were silent. Liu Tingzhou also noticed something strange and sent someone to ask Xiao Kui'an. Xiao Kui'an had already found out that the way forward was safe, so he pulled his horse back to see Liu Tingzhou and said in a low voice.
: "It's a trap. Now we can only take advantage of the situation and rush forward. The two wings must be dispersed to the east and west sides. Your Excellency sends someone to notify Ma Rulong and asks him to lead Ma's private troops to protect the rear wing of the army. This battle may not be without a chance of victory!"
When meeting on a narrow road, the brave will win. There is no medicine for regrets in the world, and the bandits are not necessarily very strong in battle. Liu Tingzhou is a determined person. He immediately sent his trusted followers to see Teng Xingyuan behind the formation, and he was dressed in horse clothes, Ma Rulong, and asked them to act according to the plan.
To stabilize the morale of the army, except for the four of them, they only told the generals below that they had successfully broken through the enemy camp and that a great victory was in sight.
Ma Rulong heard that the main camp of the bandits in the north was a trap. Only a thousand bandits were defeated, and the camp on the east and west sides of the bandits were not in disorder. He immediately ignored Liu Tingzhou's request for them to stop and form a formation to protect the rear wing.
Ordered to pull more than a thousand Ma's private soldiers to retreat to the Feixiaji camp...
"Fuck you! Idiot!" Xiao Kui'an cursed in anger when he saw Ma Rulong retreating to Feixiaji in his horse uniform. Without elite rear wings, the entire Fish Scale Formation would be a rag that could be torn apart with just one stab.
The situation was over and no one could turn it back. Xiao Kui'an and Liu Tingzhou said, "Sir, you lead the left wing and I will lead the right wing. Break through the front camp and go to both sides. Leave the others alone. We can save the elite soldiers of Shanyang County. Maybe we can
Wait until the manufacturer comes to rescue us!"
The rear wing of the officers and soldiers crossing the Huaihe River suddenly stopped and retreated. Sun Ganzi could no longer hold back and said to Malantou: "I'm going to seize the camp. Don't come with me to compete for credit!" Without waiting for Ma Lanlong's reply, he rode forward.
Okay, shout: "Open the camp gate, sons, follow Mr. Gan and I will kill his mother's shit..." More than 300 cavalrymen who were lying quietly in the west camp made a loud noise and followed Sun Ganzi to rush towards the gate of the camp.
.
Malantou was too late to stop him. His original intention was to ask Sun Gangzi to let go of the retreating rear wing of the officers and soldiers, and use the cavalry to trample the main formation of the officers and soldiers crossing the Huaihe River from the flanks. A big victory would be within easy reach. Then he became greedy and took advantage of the panic of the rear wing of the officers and soldiers.
When retreating, Feixiaji was captured in one fell swoop, and all the officers and soldiers who entered Siyang would become turtles in the jar.
Except for the more than 2,000 precious cavalry under Chen Hansan's command, the refugee army had many soldiers and horses, but very few cavalry. The small number of cavalry was mostly used for messengers and scouts. Sun Gangzi shamelessly saved 600 or 700 cavalry, and Malan
There are no organized cavalry under the command of the leader.
The only thing the refugee army could use to trample the infantry array was the three to four hundred cavalry brought by Sun Ganzi.
When Ma Rulong learned that he had fallen into the trap, he immediately abandoned Liu Tingzhou and the others and led more than a thousand elite troops to retreat to the Feixiaji camp. They never expected that the soldiers and civilians were not in a hurry to attack the formation, but came to take the precious cavalry.
Come over and kill them first and seize Feixiaji.
Sun Ganzi led the crowd to pass through the flanks of the Huaihuai officers and soldiers, and went straight to the back of the retreating Ma family private soldiers. He waved his seven or eight-foot-long saber to the left and right, and immediately turned around to block the two soldiers.
The heads of the two Ma family soldiers were chopped off...
The Ma family has been a salt and iron merchant for generations and has a fortune of tens of millions. Lin Fu was knocked out of 300,000 taels of silver in one fell swoop. For Ma Fu, it was more of an insult than it could touch the foundation of the Ma family. Salt merchant, salt merchant
, buy and sell official salt, but there are few who do not smuggle salt. In order to smuggle salt, Ma Jiahua made great efforts to raise private soldiers.
In terms of the quality of the soldiers, the Ma family's more than a thousand private soldiers can be said to be somewhat more elite than the Shanyang County soldiers.
One soldier is a raging enemy, and generals are raging in a den. Even if each of the Ma family's thousands of private soldiers can block ten, if the queen retreats in a hurry and Sun Ganzi leads the elite cavalry to cover them up from behind, they will not be able to escape the fate of the entire army collapsing.
When infantry fights against cavalry, what matters is iron discipline and joint confrontation. Once they are defeated, they can only hate their parents for having two legs.
People with better eyesight ran directly to the beach where the cavalry could not pursue them. More people were massacred by Sun Ganzi's cavalry from behind. Some people were brave, and several or a dozen people united to fight, but they blocked the cavalry sword.
With sharp spears and long spears, they rushed in from all directions and trampled them, and they could only hold on to the thought of killing one of them.
Sun Ganzi was capable of killing and would ride over those who surrendered when they lay down on the ground. His brave soldiers were also very murderous. They killed happily and had no intention of keeping prisoners. They had to kill them all to be happy.
Wearing gorgeous armor, he was riding on a green horse, which was the most conspicuous. Sun Ganzi shouted: "That armor belongs to me, and anyone who robs me is a son of a whore!" Everyone on the left and right called Sun Ganzi shameless, and there was a moment.
Several riders followed and rushed out.
According to Sun Ganzi's rules, if other property is sufficient, whoever seizes the armor will get it.
Ma Fu was so distraught that he turned around and begged for mercy: "I have money!" But Ma Fu didn't understand what he said, so he stabbed him straight through his vest.
Before Ma Fu died, he only regretted that he had exchanged his merits for a real one and did not return to the south bank early, so he lost his life here.
When Sun Ganzi saw that the man in the gorgeous armor had taken the lead, he yelled and cursed, causing laughter. He saw an officer more than twenty feet away on the left who was fighting with a gun, and he was about to throw his saber as a dart.
The seven or eight foot long sword penetrated Ma Rulong's chest from a distance of more than twenty feet.
The horses were robbed, and the horses were killed like dragons, while the private soldiers of the Ma family scattered like wild beasts, with no one to resist them.
