Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 564 Unlucky Old Gao 4
The tragedy of Gao Yingxiang is that although his subordinates claim to have 30 people, there are only 6 to 6 who can really fight. If it is counted, the strength of the troops will be doubled.Now these [-] to [-] people are basically in the Qingfengdian, and those who are left behind are the hungry soldiers, women and children who are too hungry to walk, staying on the Great Plains and being blown by the cold wind, panicking Today, the rangers of the Tianxiong Army are haunting them, making a little movement from time to time, and just a little trouble makes them terrified.

As Lu Xiangsheng said, a mob is always a mob, no matter how many people there are, it is still a mob.

Seeing that the bandits' retreat had been cut off, Lin Guantian breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, laughing: "Okay, okay, we finally blocked them! Lord Marquis, when will we launch an attack and annihilate them all in one fell swoop?" Huh? The essence of the rogue bandits is here. As long as we can annihilate them, the world will be much more peaceful!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "There is no rush, let's bombard them with cannons for a few rounds first."

Over there, under the command of Li Chongzhen, the withdrawn artillery pushed out more than 20 cannons, four of which were 85mm howitzers sold to them by the Heluo New Army after the Battle of Lushun.Seeing so many cannons, the rogues had the urge to go crazy. Damn the Tianxiong Army, how many cannons did they have? Just threw over 30 cannons, and now they have taken out over 20 more!

"fire!"

With an order, more than 20 cannons fired at the same time, the air waves rolled, smoke and flames gushed out, and rows of shells hit the bandits, all using high-explosive shells.The Tianxiong Army has not been able to produce high-explosive grenades for 85mm howitzers, but they are quite skilled at playing high-explosive grenades with wooden trust tubes, and smash them like they don’t want money.The sound of the rumbling guns shook the ground, and a large group of fire and blood rained continuously among the rogues, and a large number of people were killed or injured by a shell.They should be thankful that they are fighting Lu Xiangsheng, who is not as unruly as Yang Menglong, otherwise he would have brought out the rocket launcher to bombard them.But even so, the slaughterhouse-like scene created by more than 20 cannons firing high-explosive grenades at the same time made everyone terrified. I don’t know how many people shouted and ran wildly. Tell them not to move, but how can they control it?As the shells rained down, his army became more and more chaotic, and it was on the verge of collapse.

No belief, no common pursuit, and a team that relies entirely on looting to maintain itself, no matter how large the number is, will be vulnerable after all.

Gao Yingxiang was hit to the brink of collapse by the fierce shelling, while Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin had completely collapsed.

They were defeated by the Tianxiong Army cavalry and collapsed!
This was a riding battle that made them feel extremely aggrieved. The two thousand cavalry knights pushed forward with four and a half meters long cavalry like a wall, roaring, and they did not go to fight with the heroes of their army at all, but Go straight to the charge, and whoever blocks their charge will end up with Ma Qiang's chest!Then it’s okay for me to avoid it?The answer is no, two thousand Lancers spread out in five rows, each horse is four meters apart, and the width of a row reaches 600 meters. Where can you hide?They swept across like blades, and Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, and Lao Huihui's subordinates all fell from their horses holding their bloody wounds, causing heavy casualties.What's even more frustrating is that after hitting them right through each other, the Lancers galloped several hundred meters, turned their horses around, the rear team turned to the front team, and rushed towards them like a wall!
It was another round of massacres, and more than 1000 people were picked off their horses by Ma Qiang.

Li Zicheng was lucky enough to avoid two rounds of impact without being injured.Liu Zongmin was unlucky, and his horse was stabbed to death by a Lancer. He changed his horse, looked at the dead bodies on the ground, and then looked at the Lancers who were forming a team several hundred meters away. He was shocked and angry: "These dogs What the hell are the officers and soldiers using? Is anyone fighting like this!?"

Old Hui Hui's arm was stabbed by Ma Leng, bleeding profusely. He gasped and said, "They've always fought like this... No matter how many you have against them, it's useless. You'll be completely overwhelmed by them a few times."

Li Zicheng wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Fortunately, when they charge at such a high speed, the horses' physical strength is also exhausted, and they will not be able to charge again!"

Liu Zongmin was about to express his approval, but saw more than 2000 tall and strong war horses driving out of the forest. These war horses were still chewing something in their mouths, and they were very energetic.The Lancers didn't even get off their horses, and jumped directly onto their horses, while the auxiliary soldiers held the somewhat tired horses to prevent them from running around.Liu Zongmin gasped, the expression on his face was almost desperate.There are two horses for one person, and they are all the kind of Liaodong horses that are tall, strong, and strong. How can they change horses when they get tired a little bit!
Look at Li Zicheng and Lao Huihui again, they both looked like they were about to cry.

War is not just playing games, you don't have to play if you don't want to.Under the desperate eyes of the rogues, the ground shook again, and two thousand Lancers once again charged forward with one-handed spears!

Now these rogue cavalry have finally completely collapsed, their horses can no longer run, the Lancers have killed and injured more than 2000 people in two rounds of charge, and there are two thousand Mongolian cavalry sharpening their knives, ready to rush up at any time Killing ring, such an unfavorable situation is enough to defeat any army!They let out a cry, and ignored the roars of the leaders, rode their horses and fled, even if they were shot to death by sharp arrows from behind, it didn't matter.The clever ones even jumped off their horses and ran wildly - now their horses can't even run as fast as they can!
The cavalry wall slammed into the chaotic queue of rogues with powerful kinetic energy. Many rogues were knocked into the air or picked up by horses, and the screams were earth-shattering.It's not over yet, while the Lancers charged, the Mongolian Light Cavalry also received the order to attack, and the horses roared with horizontal swords, cutting all the way along the gap opened by the Lancers, and the sabers were facing one by one. He waved his face mercilessly, the knife flashed, and the blood spattered three feet.Some even picked up the pulley compound bow, and the arrows were like beads, and the rogues were either hit in the head or in the chest by the whistling sound, and fell down in pieces.The rogues only felt that there were cavalry from the Tianxiong Army in all directions. Obviously, their strength was four times larger than these cavalry. Facing their seamless charge, they felt so lonely that they had to face it alone. Such a fearsome army!This battle has turned into a one-sided massacre. Under the attacks of horse lances, sabers, and bows and arrows, countless rogues were killed and injured. piercing the body, or beheaded by a saber, not to mention how many people were blocked by sharp arrows flying at high speed in the chaos.Anyone with a little bit of sense knows that this battle cannot be won. More and more people throw away their weapons and shout at the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army who are rushing forward: "Surrender! Surrender!" This kind of behavior is like The plague spread in the army, and the entire battlefield was full of cries for surrender and begging for mercy. They had already suffered too many casualties. This battle was a massacre from the beginning. Thank God for being able to persist until now!
Lao Huihui, Liu Zongmin, and Li Zicheng and a few of their subordinates galloped on horseback and fled desperately. As for where they could safely escape, they didn't know. They couldn't just be prisoners like this.They are not Zhang Xianzhong, they can use surrender as food, they also want to save face!

They immediately paid a terrible price for their face-saving behavior. The Mongolian cavalry surrounded them, and the Lancers followed like a wall.These three can also be called fierce, each led a team of cavalry to cover alternately, and broke through in three ways, like a trapped beast, but every time they were easily beaten back by the Mongolian cavalry, who were energetic and far more skilled than them. The end of time has come.

Zu Dabi ran over with the two bloody hatchets in his hands. Seeing that the three men were quite brave, he couldn't help feeling a little itchy. He said to Qian Yu, "I didn't expect there to be such a fierce general among the rogues. Wait for the ancestor to go." Meet them!"

Qian Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Three generals, don't waste time with them." He shouted at the Mongolian cavalrymen: "What are you still dawdling about? Get rid of them!"

The group of Mongolian cavalry who were happily playing a cat-and-mouse game were scolded, and all their anger was directed at these bandits. They picked up their flintlock guns and pointed them at the people who were oppressed in the middle, back to back. Rogue bandits.

Faced with so many dark muzzles, Laohui threw away his saber in a slump, and smiled miserably: "I didn't expect that I, Ma Shouying, would run across the northwest, with swords and guns like a forest, and arrows raining down on me. They couldn't take me away, but in the end I died at the hands of a group of Mongolian Tartars." inside!"

Li Zicheng murmured: "I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!"

Liu Zongmin threw away his spear and shouted tremblingly, "I surrender! I surrender!"

Qian Yu said: "Fire!"

The Mongolian cavalry pulled the trigger at the same time, and the gunshots exploded like thunder, and the bullets rained down. The rogues twitched under the rain of bullets, and their bodies were pierced through holes one after another. Most of them died before they fell to the ground. died.

The invincible Lao Hui turned around and was shot several times. One arm was broken by a bullet and he died on the spot.He had a chance to escape the last time he fought against the Tianxiong Army, but unfortunately he could not continue his good luck this time.

Li Zicheng was shot twice in the chest and fell to the ground, vomiting blood profusely.This hero who went through ups and downs in the original history and finally destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and because of his short-sightedness, failed to establish a new dynasty, lost all his victories in a blink of an eye, and finally lost his life. Fortunately, he met a strong enemy that he couldn't defeat, and he put his sexual destiny here.

Liu Zongmin was shot in the abdomen and wailed pitifully.If the literati and bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty had read the history books of later generations, and then looked at his current tragic situation, they would definitely breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy died, and they didn't have to go to Beizhen Fusi to taste sticks, cannons, and iron combs The taste of such things as , brain circles, and red embroidered shoes.

However, the scholar-bureaucrats in the late Ming Dynasty seemed destined to suffer a disaster. They escaped tortures such as clamping sticks and cannons that would lead to death or disability, but a few years later they tasted putting wet towels on their faces, pouring pepper water into their respiratory tracts, and tiger benches. They paid a heavy price for their selfishness, stupidity, and narrow-mindedness through a series of relatively gentle punishments such as torture, fingernail pulling, and fatigue bombing, but they would definitely give them nightmares for a lifetime.And this day came much earlier than the historical torture and plunder of Beizhen Fusi.

Everyone is a traitor, there is no escape...

Gao Yingxiang's half-baked cavalry was basically wiped out by the professional cavalry of Tianxiong Army and Guanning Army, with more than 5000 casualties. How long, the severe cold of the Great North China Plain will soon kill them.

Now it was Gao Yingxiang's turn to be unlucky.
