At this time, the nickname "Crazy He" really came into its own.
He looks like a crazy tiger, killing wherever there are crowds. When facing his enemies, they are often very miserable. He is cut into vegetables and melons by his Xuanhua ax, and his death is extremely miserable. The sight of him will make even the faint of heart tremble.
feeling.
What kind of generals and what kind of soldiers.
When He Renlong became angry, all his men also became angry.
The circular formation changed, divided into four fronts, and fought in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
"Kill..."
Many officers and soldiers of the imperial court were dripping with blood, and their whole bodies seemed to be dyed red, like a god of death. It was not clear whether it was his own blood or the blood of the enemy, and they were still fighting.
The shocking power of this kind of fighting is really shocking on this battlefield.
Not all chieftain soldiers are elites, and not all chieftain soldiers are the same as the Baigan Army, who are not afraid of death and can fight bloody battles with Jianlu to the end.
He Renlong led his men to fight back for a while, but the chieftain soldiers in front of him could not resist at first and retreated one after another.
In this kind of fighting, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Once the chieftain soldiers show their timidity, He Renlong's side will be more likely to succeed, which will cause the chieftain soldiers to avoid He Renlong's side one after another. In the end, it will turn into a rout. Can they escape from He Renlong's side?
The distance between people and dragons is as far as possible.
Those killed by He Renlong had their arms and legs broken one by one, and were crying miserably, which shook their determination to fight.
"Kill..."
Seeing the opportunity, He Renlong shouted and chased and killed the chieftain soldiers who started to flee.
As soon as the chieftain soldiers saw it, they fled even more panicked. They just wanted to stay away, no matter where they ran!
The bandits were fighting when they saw the chieftain soldiers fleeing towards them and collided with them, instantly destroying their offensive.
What should you do when you see the imperial officers and soldiers chasing after you?
Fight to the death? Fight for the chieftain soldiers against the offensive of the imperial army?
How is that possible!
For most thieves, there is no belief in fighting to the death!
If they ambush the imperial officers and soldiers, they will fight if they think they can win!
However, the war has entered a tense stage, and the imperial army is facing an offensive with high morale. Whoever stands in the way will really die?
Only a fool would continue to kill someone knowing he would die!
If you are killed by the imperial officers and soldiers, then you have nothing!
Some old thieves among the bandits are the quickest to see an opportunity. If they dare to block the gun for the chieftain soldiers, I will run away if you run away!
When two armies are fighting against each other, if one side is defeated, even if only a small part of it is defeated, the companions who are fighting cannot see the overall situation, and it is easy to think that the entire army has retreated, and then they will collapse together.
In this case, unless a general with overall command sees this and sends a force to resist the disintegration, it is possible to regain the position.
However, the fight in front of them was in a valley and jungle. Although the bandits still had a strong force, they were unable to respond in time due to the obstruction of the terrain.
The disintegration of the chieftain soldiers led to the dispersion of the bandits. In the end, the entire coalition of chieftains and bandits collapsed and fled into the mountains and forests.
Because they knew that once they escaped into the mountains and forests, they could escape and ascend to heaven. This was also one of the important reasons why they were so defeated.
He Renlong was not really crazy. He did not kill and chase him into the woods, but immediately gathered his troops.
His men immediately moved closer to the Chinese army and used the sidecars accompanying the army to reorganize their front.
The muskets and artillery were reloaded, the dead and wounded soldiers were dragged into the formation and placed on side cars, and the entire army slowly retreated.
On the top of the mountain, the bandit leader and the chieftain were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
Today we can really see the elite of the imperial officers and soldiers.
If Chieftain Wan Hongwu was still unclear, Li Zicheng knew very well what the key to this battle was!
Armor, damn armor!
The officers and soldiers of the imperial court all wore iron armor on their bodies, which was extremely strong. With iron armor on their bodies, they would be bolder, fight fiercely, and have high morale! This is why the people of all dynasties were allowed to have bows, arrows, swords and guns, but they were determined to
The reason why private concealment of armor is not allowed!
Gu Huan
But what Li Zicheng didn't know was that the reason for the high morale of the imperial officers and soldiers in this battle was not just the armor.
The officers and soldiers of the imperial court all knew that even if they died in battle, they could enter the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs and become loyal martyrs of the imperial court. They would receive annual tributes from the emperor and receive very generous pensions.
In addition, He Renlong's imperial officers and soldiers are more eager for military glory than other imperial officers and soldiers. Because they have been punished, they hope to use military exploits to prove themselves again. They have never fought before, so they have been
Hold it back.
At this time, watching the imperial officers and soldiers forming formation below, they slowly retreated. Chieftain Wan Hongwu came to his senses and immediately became anxious, and quickly said to Li Zicheng: "Why are you still standing there? Stop them, don't
Let them run away!"
When he said this, Li Zicheng came back to his senses, and immediately said with a gloomy face: "If your people are not escaping, how could it be like this? Your people caused this, shouldn't you send people to intercept it? My people
If we cooperate with you, there will definitely be no problem!"
There is a saying that a trapped beast still fights. At this time, the imperial officers and soldiers are retreating. If they are to intercept them on their way back, it will inevitably cause a crazy counterattack by the imperial officers and soldiers. If you think about it with your toes, you will know that the intercepting team will definitely have the most casualties.
Tragic.
In the past, the reason why no interception team was sent in the rear was because no one wanted to bear the maximum casualties.
In addition, if there is no intercepting team on the retreat, the imperial officers and soldiers are likely to flee first, resulting in a pursuit situation. This is the easiest way to annihilate the imperial officers and soldiers.
It's a pity that the imperial officers and soldiers did not flee first, but formed a formation to meet the enemy, which exceeded their expectations.
At this time, after hearing Li Zicheng's words, Wan Hongwu was no longer happy, so he lowered his face and said, "You came to me and said that we joined forces to resist the imperial court. Shouldn't it be reasonable for you to contribute more? You didn't
How can I stop my men when they see heavy casualties? You still have men who are not involved in the fight, so you just sent them to intercept them, right?"
Due to the terrain of the battlefield, it was impossible to deploy troops. Therefore, although the combined forces of Li Zicheng and the chieftain had a large number of troops, they could only devote part of them to the fight.
More than half of Li Zicheng's men were unable to fight. Wan Hongwu wanted Li Zicheng to send all his men down.
Seeing the two leaders quarreling in a very disharmonious atmosphere, Song Xiance began to persuade him: "The morale has been lost, and there is no point in fighting anymore. If we send new reinforcements, the mountain roads are inconvenient, and it is no longer enough. Moreover, the various departments of the imperial officers and soldiers
The distance between the passers-by and the horses is not far, so it will be detrimental to our army if we keep dragging them."
Having said this, he observed the expressions of the two leaders before continuing: "Although this battle did not completely wipe out the imperial army, it also caused a great deal of damage. The purpose of shocking the imperial court has been achieved.
We won!"
"Yes, yes, we have already won!" Niu Jinxing saw this and quickly agreed to ease the atmosphere.
Li Zicheng listened and remained silent. He just looked down at the imperial army at the foot of the mountain, forming a formation and slowly retreating like hedgehogs with explosive hair.
After hearing this, Chieftain Wan Hongwu also glanced at the imperial officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, said "hum", turned around and left without saying anything else.
Obviously, the so-called victory is just to put money on one's face. In this battle, at best, there is no winner.
However, from the carefully prepared ambush battle to the final fight like this, to a certain extent, only the thick-skinned people can speak out regardless of the outcome.
When the chieftain's people saw the chieftain leaving, they all followed him. In the end, only Li Zicheng's people were left on the mountain.
Watching them disappear into the woods, Niu Jinxing approached the gloomy Li Zicheng and asked in a low voice: "How about..."
While speaking, he stretched out one hand into a palm, and then made a slashing gesture.
The cooperation between the two parties is obviously a bit unhappy. In this case, swallow this toast.
After Li Zicheng heard this, before he could respond, Song Xiance who was standing next to him quickly interrupted and said, "No, you must not!"
When Niu Jinxing heard this, he became a little unhappy, and immediately said: "What's wrong with it? Anyone who dares to make the general unhappy will be killed. It's not like we haven't killed chieftains before!"
In the southwest of Huguang Province, the chieftains there were plundered by bandits under Li Zicheng's command.
After hearing this, Song Xiance was afraid that Li Zicheng would agree, so he hurriedly explained: "This time, the other time! This time, we have formed an alliance with Wan Hongwu. If the reputation of annexing him spreads, then in this southwest territory, other chieftains will no longer be able to
They may have cooperated with us. But if we want to gain a foothold in the southwest, we must form an alliance with many chieftains!"
When outside Yunnan and Guizhou, Li Zicheng annexed Luo Rucai's men, so other bandits did not dare to join forces with Li Zicheng; by the same token, if Li Zicheng annexed the chieftain who was his ally, what would the other chieftains think?
Regarding this truth, when Song Xiance said this, Li Zicheng came to his senses and immediately said: "Forget it, I am not as experienced as this country bumpkin. Let's go, leave here, and continue moving forward. He ambushed the imperial army, and the imperial court
I won’t let him go, he’s just blocking the imperial army for us!”
"The general is wise!" After hearing this, Song Xiance breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flattered him.
Seeing this, Niu Jinxing was helpless and followed the flattery against her will.
As a result, Li Zicheng's bandits began to clean up the battlefield and prepare to leave.
On the battlefield that had been the most fierce fighting, the corpses of bandits and chieftains were all taken away, as were the corpses of the imperial officers and soldiers.
Every bandit who was cleaning the battlefield felt sad when they saw this scene. They felt even more uncertain about their future.
On He Renlong's side, he was always very nervous and retreated slowly, ready to respond to the pursuit of bandits and chieftain soldiers at any time.
I don’t know how long it took, but I felt relieved when Zeng Yingbu came over to help me from the back.
