Chapter 131 Start

The rebels on the south side of the south road took a defensive posture and did not attack. They waited for the Fujian officers and soldiers to come forward. At this time, the remnants of the Sichuan army followed the side of the Fujian officers and soldiers and were not used as cannon fodder by Yu Xiaotian.

The morale of these Sichuan soldiers is very low, and the quality of equipment is also very poor. Even if they get a certain supplement from him, it is only to satisfy each of them with a weapon. After a defeat, these Sichuan soldiers are now almost similar to beglings, which makes people feel pitiful.

Yu Xiaotian is not a hard-hearted person. These people have left their hometown and come here from Sichuan thousands of miles away to work for the court. Officials also defrauded them everywhere, deducting their food and salaries, and not having enough food and clothing. Whether they are ruffians or not, Yu Xiaotian should treat them as human beings and force them to die. Yu Xiaotian still disdains to do this kind of thing.

So after he returned to the camp last night, he saw the deputy general Wang Hong and waited for him in the camp with a flattery face. Wang Hong repeatedly said good words and presented a gift. He knew very well what Wang Hong wanted.

So he promised Wang Hong that he would not treat the defeated soldiers under his command as consumables and put them into the battlefield as cannon fodder, but he also required Wang Hong to restrain his subordinates, strict military discipline, and not to come on the battlefield. As long as his Fujian soldiers did not collapse, the Sichuan soldiers led by Wang Hong would not escape from the battle, otherwise he It can't protect Wang Hong and others.

After listening to this, Wang Hong can be said to be grateful to Xiaotian. He repeatedly promised that he was willing to use Yu Xiaotian's soldiers and horses as auxiliary soldiers. However, if he wanted to do some hard work, he would definitely order his soldiers to help the Yu's army. As long as Yu Xiaotian did not fill them into the battlefield as cannon fodder, he promised to make an appointment. Don't let your subordinates mess up.

In fact, Yu Xiaotian did this not only sympathize with these Sichuan soldiers. The key is that these Sichuan soldiers, even if they are thrown into the battlefield as cannon fodder by him, will not play much role. On the contrary, they are likely to collapse in the battle, affecting the morale of his generals, and even the defeated Sichuan soldiers may also impact his current army.

So instead of using them as cannon fodder, it is better to bribe them and follow him as an auxiliary soldier for a period of time to come. As long as he gives a little favor, these Sichuan soldiers will become his loyal to him in the future and can make up for the shortcomings of his own strength to a certain extent.

Therefore, after this battle, the Sichuan soldiers led by Wang Hong were positioned behind the left wing of the family army, basically in the position of watching the battle.

The people of Sichuan soldiers were also grateful for Xiaotian's treatment of them like this. After the formation, they also boosted some morale, at least not as listless as the other days ago.

The rebels did not move, and Yu Xiaotian was not in a hurry to move. The two armies formed a confrontation on the battlefield, making the battlefield on the south side of the south road seem quiet.

However, on the other side of the West Road, the rebels, Shandong soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers soon fought together. The rebels rushed to the officers and soldiers. In the army array, they immediately fired arrows, shot at the foot of the battle, and killed the rebels.

Today, Zhu Dadian led his troops to watch the battle in the central army camp. Yu Xiaotian also gave Zhu Dadian a low-power monocular as a gift, which made Zhu Dadian like it very much, so Zhu Dadian stepped on the high platform and personally observed the situation on the battlefield.

Therefore, Wu Anbang and Gao Guozhu and other generals did not dare to fight against the enemy, so they had to lead their troops to fight fiercely with the rebels.

Both sides have used all their solutions. They came and forth and rushed to kill each other. At first, the officers and soldiers could still block the water and cover the earth. However, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the morale of the officers and soldiers began to decline, but the rebels became more and more brave, and gradually began to grasp the initiative of the battlefield and began to wave by waves. Launched an attack on the army.

After persisting for a while, the officers and soldiers gradually began to retreat by the rebels. Although Wu Anbang, Gao Guozhu and others also desperately suppressed their subordinates so that they could not retreat and had to resist the rebel attack, these soldiers were very weak. The more afraid the Vietnam War became, and began to desert.

So the generals had to kill some deserters, which more or less stabilized the front and became deadlocked with the rebels again. Both sides suffered heavy losses in this fierce battle, but the rebels always refused to relax the pace of attack, constantly sent troops and continued to launch waves of attacks.

When the two sides fought until noon, the officers and the army had begun to perform effectively. The front was in chaos again. The rebels took the opportunity to send an elite cavalry into the battlefield, tearing apart the array of Shandong soldiers, and then cut off the connection between the Shandong soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers. A large number of rebels began to Siege Shandong soldiers.

At this time, the Shandong soldiers under Wu Anbang finally couldn't stand it, and the array began to collapse. Zhu Dadian saw it clearly on the high platform. It can be said that he was anxious. He turned his head and looked at Xiaotian. Fujian soldiers and Sichuan soldiers were still in a state of confrontation with the rebels. Although the two sides also had some confrontation, but The war is not fierce. It can be said that the rebels often retreat at a touch and dare not fight to the death with Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers.

This time, Xiong Wencan is anxious. He knows that if the Fujian soldiers don't do much, they may not be able to hold on. If the Shandong soldiers and horses are defeated, the Zhejiang soldiers will definitely be defeated together. This time, the officers and soldiers will be in big trouble.

So Zhu Dadian sent people to find Yu Xiaotian and ordered Yu Xiaotian to quickly intensify his attack and win a victory on the South Road to contain the siege of Shandong soldiers and horses by the rebels and support Shandong soldiers and horses.

Wu Anbang also sent people to ask Zhu Dadian for help, asking Zhu Dadian to quickly transfer troops, flank the rebels, and rescue his soldiers and horses. Otherwise, he really couldn't stand it.

When Yu Xiaotian saw this, he ordered the whole army to start advancing, and ordered Wang Hong's Sichuan soldiers to follow him to kill the rebels on the opposite side.

With the sound of the drums, a few cannons came from the family army array, and then the horn was blown by the trumpet, and a column of generals in the family army began to advance like a wall. Each queue maintained a certain distance and attacked the rebel array.

At this time, the artillery array on the right wing also began to fire. Shells roared across the battlefield and hit the rebel array. The shells landed and bounced up and immediately rushed into the enemy array. In the enemy array, they hit a bloody alley.

The rebels also fired artillery back, but their shelling level was limited, and the range of artillery was limited. The shells fell in the middle of the battlefield one after another, which did not cause much damage to the Yu army.

These generals of the family army looked blank and had no expression. They silently stepped on drums or whistles one by one, maintaining a rigorous battle formation without scattering at all. Occasionally, a shell fell into their array and harvested the lives of several soldiers, but It is for their formation, but it does not cause any **.

Everyone quietly held their weapons and walked forward steadily step by step. The gap hit by the shell will be immediately recombined. No one makes an exclamation. They can only hear their feet fall to the ground and make a neat roaring sound, like a life-threatening drum, hitting the rebel generals heavily. In my heart.

As for the wounded soldiers or soldiers killed in battle, someone was specially responsible for rescuing them. The bodies were quickly carried down for sorting out and collecting, and the wounded soldiers were immediately sent to the back for hemostasis and treatment. Everything seemed to be orderly.

Zhu Dadian did not come from a military background and did not know much about the array, but it can also be seen that the array composed of generals under Yu Xiaotian is thick and stable, and there is no chaos on the battlefield, exuding a frightening sense of urgency.

It's just that their arrays look strange and too simple. They form square arrays one by one, which neither interfere with each other nor cooperate with each other. It's a bit like a kind of fish scale array of the Ming army, but there is a big difference.

Zhu Dadian couldn't see the benefits of this phalanx used by Yu Xiaotian, but he felt that Yu Xiaotian's soldiers and generals were not simple. This kind of calmness was the only seen in his life, and the silent march made them look as stable as Mount Tai.

This reminds Zhu Dadian of a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is as fast as the wind, as slow as forest, aggression as fire and motionless as a mountain. Just Yu Jiajun's transformation from a formation to an offensive formation, this momentum is eye-catching and makes Zhu Dadian once again open his eyes.

When the rebels saw that the Fujian soldiers began to march towards them, they did not appear as shown by the rebels on the other side. Suddenly, a trace of ** appeared in the team formation. After a while, they stabilized again. They quickly raised the shield in front of the battle, and the firearms and archers were transferred to the front of the team to make The posture of guarding and guarding.

Some rebel cannons were also pushed out and set up in front of the array, ready to block these attacks by the family army with cannons.

However, the range of these rebel cannons is limited, and most of them are small guns, mostly old guns such as tiger squat guns and bowl mouth guns. These guns are only a few dozen steps away from each other, and they are powerful at close range, but they can't deal with long-range targets.

Even if the shell is barely hit in front of the Fujian army, the shell has basically lost its kinetic energy and cannot achieve the bouncing effect.

However, Yu Jiajun did not even give them this opportunity and stopped moving 200 steps away. Rows of * hands with wolf tooth rifles began to lift the wolf tooth rifles in their hands. They only heard a shocking sound of guns. Those rebel gunners who were busy fighting in front of the rebel array immediately fell down one after another. There was a scream.

After only three rounds of volley, the rebels were transferred to the front gunners and were killed next to their gun bodies one after another. Only the remaining rebel gunners, who were lucky enough to die, also fled back to their array. More than a dozen small cannons were left in front of the battle and even robbed. I dare not take it back.
