Chapter 172 Four ambushes

On the north bank of the Jindi River, Sun Chuanting anxiously urged the auxiliary soldiers to build a convenient bridge, while sending people to check the situation in front of him. After the people sent back, they all said that the Liaodong Army under Wu Sangui was very brave and was attacking the thief army on the other side of the river, but the thief army was also very strong and did not retreat.

So Sun Chuanting began to be suspicious again. Xing Tianjun's performance was a little abnormal. Only 2,000 people and horses, facing the nearly 40,000 troops under his command, the disparity in strength could be seen by anyone. They were fighting a desperate battle like this. Even if their soldiers of the Xing Tianjun would be very fierce, they They are still human beings. Even if they can use one for ten, it is impossible to win in the end. There are only two possibilities for them to fight to the death like this. One possibility is that the main force of the Xingtian Army is attacking Jining with all their strength. Xiao Tianjian, the thief chief, ordered them to stop the officers and soldiers led by Sun Chuanting here, even if they fight. The light doesn't matter.

The second is that the thief army is likely to still play tricks. There may be a full set of Xing Tianjun around here. This thief army is likely to buy time for the main force of the thief army.

Both of them have great possibilities. For a moment, Sun Chuanting didn't know how to make a decision. In the end, Sun Chuanting felt that no matter what the situation is, the most important thing is to defeat the thief army on the other side that blocked their way and clear the passage in front of them. In this case, he still has the master to deal with it. Movement power.

So Sun Chuanting urgently ordered his cavalry to speed up crossing the river and rush to the battlefield, and ordered the auxiliary soldiers to speed up the construction of the bridge and transport heavy artillery across the river.

In the afternoon, two bridges were built first. Sun Chuanting impatiently urged the soldiers to transport heavy artillery across the river. Those Da Franc machine guns and Hongyi cannons that accompanied the army were pushed to the river. Under the traction of mules and horses and the promotion of manpower, they began to cross the river in a difficult and slow way. The general's cannon (large Fran machine guns) ) It's better. The weight is slightly lighter, but the heavy Hongyi cannons pulled by Wu Sangui from outside the customs are difficult to do. Each cannon is equipped with more than a dozen mules and horses, and hundreds of people can cooperate to push them. After all, the bridge is a bridge. Obviously, it is a little reluctant to bear such a heavy Hongyi cannon. It was difficult, so the cannon crossed the river very slowly. As soon as a Hongyi cannon got on the bridge, the bridge collapsed on the spot, and even the Hongyi cannon fell into the river.

It can be said that the more urgent it is, the more you can't pee in the pot. Sun Chuanting ordered on the spot that the army responsible for building the stool bridge should be dragged out and beheaded. In addition, more than a dozen auxiliary soldiers responsible for building this stool bridge were also pushed out to beheaded. In addition, he also ordered to send someone to drag the Hongyi cannon ashore quickly to deal with Xing Tian. Army, I'm afraid the most effective is this Hongyi cannon. You can't lose a single one!

So a large group of people poured into the river, tying ropes and dragging. The whole river bank was in a mess. Even Sun Chuanting's attention was attracted to the river. He personally ran to the river to supervise and rescue the Hongyi cannon, so that many people's attention was focused on the river bank and gradually relaxed. Be vigilant about the surroundings.

At this time, there was no Pegasus running at night and wanted to report to Sun Chuanting. However, because there were too many officers and soldiers blocking the road, they could not get close to Sun Chuanting. They were so angry that they didn't stop cursing one by one, and kept waving whips to beat those officers and soldiers blocking the road, and Shout out, "Emergency military situation! Those who get in the way are also sentenced to death! Get out of the way!"

In this way, they finally found Sun Chuanting. They ran to Sun Chuanting in a panic all night and shouted, "Your Excellency! The little ones found the whereabouts of a large number of thieves in the west, only seven or eight miles away from us! Please make a quick determination!"

After listening to it, Sun Chuanting only felt that the blood was pouring up, and his head suddenly fainted. He staggered and almost fell on the spot. Fortunately, he was supported by the guard next to him and did not fall to the ground.

Now Sun Chuanding understands that this is simply Xing Tianjun's plan. First, he lured Ma Dazhi to win a small victory with a weak brigade, which covered up the abnormality of the previous discovery that the thief army was scouting a large number of activities, which made them feel that there was no big problem ahead, so they set out to cross the river on the Jindi River, and then with a small amount of essence. Rui blocked the road on the other side, forcing them to focus their attention on the south bank of the Jindi River. In fact, all this is an illusion, which is attracting his attention. In fact, a large number of thieves have been ambushed in the surrounding area for a long time, waiting for the officers and soldiers to launch an attack on them when they are halfway. In this way, their officers and soldiers are blocked by the river, and it is difficult to take care of each other. The result is...

Sun Chuanting was immediately stunned. He hurriedly ordered to cross the river and immediately order Wu Sangui to collect his troops quickly. First, he stabilized the position on the south bank. On his north bank, he immediately sent troops to the west to prepare for the battle. If possible, they could still stay here for a period of time. In addition, they ordered Marco and Bai Guangen. The department immediately led the troops to support and attacked the Xing Tianjun from behind. Under the cooperation between the inside and the outside, they even had the possibility of defeat and win.

However, at night, it was still found that the main force of Xing Tianjun was a little late, and Sun Chuanting's adjustment was also late. Just as the north bank of the river was in a mess, Wu Sangui's department on the south bank of the river had begun to collapse. The fireworks rose to the sky and passed to the distance one after another, and at this time, from the other side, from one Behind the village, a criminal army was killed again, and he rushed to Wu Sangui's troops like a tsunami.

Wu Sangui's people and horses were already at the end of the strong crossbow. Just now, when they were counterattacked by Liu Yao's troops, they showed defeat. Now when it is found that another thief army has entered the battlefield, even if the military's heart is in chaos, thousands of officers and soldiers will turn around and run away, while Liu Yao led the rest of his troops to follow. After that, he covered up the past.

The so-called defeat was like a mountain. At this time, it was interpreted incisively and vividly by Wu Sangui's subordinates. The soldiers and generals were scattered and fled. No one could stop them. They only hated their parents for giving them two fewer legs and fled towards the Jindi River.

Wu Sangui was also frightened to find that the matter had reversed, so he hurriedly ordered to block these defeated soldiers and re-arranged to block the attack of Xing Tianjun. In a blink of an eye, the offensive turned into a defensive position. If it was Xing Tianjun, it was estimated that there would be a chance to be reorganized, but Wu Sangui's Liaodong Army were mostly They have escaped from the battlefield and are quite brave in the downwind battle, but once they are defeated, they may have a good fight with the officers and soldiers in the mainland.

Wu Sangui killed a group of defeated soldiers with his family, but he could never stop the collapse of the army. Thousands of defeated troops drowned them in an instant, wrapped them in, and retreated towards the Jindi River together. Wu Sangui's heart was full of hesitation at this moment. He couldn't think of these mud. Why are the Xingtian thieves born with legs so fierce and unparalleled? In the face of enemies several times more than theirs, they can fight to the end as if they were dead, and finally completely overwhelmed their soldiers and horses with their will. Now the thief army is still hiding a man and a horse not too far away, so that he has been paying attention to it. The power is all placed on this thieves that appeared, and they can't pay too much attention to the surroundings at all. Now it's better. They are chased like rabbits by the criminal thieves with superior troops, but as a general officer, he can't save this decline at all.

Liu Yaoben led his department and the rest of the people sent by Xiao Tianjian to meet together, like a huge net, chasing and killing Wu Sangui's defeated soldiers. All the firearms stopped, stuck the short blades on the mouth of the gun, and launched a white-edged charge. In this era, although firearms have gradually begun to master Kill the battlefield, but to really solve the problem, many times it still depends on close combat. Whoever has high morale is brave may win the final victory. At this time, the generals of the Xingtian Army can be said to be like a rainbow in morale. The depression that was previously suppressed by the officers and soldiers has already been swept away, and they With the addition of a new force, it seemed to be even more fierce. They chased the defeated soldiers and killed them, and chased them towards the Jindi River like driving pigs and sheep.

At the same time, on the north bank of the Jindi River, the officers and soldiers also began to be in chaos. From the direction of the Tuqi River, there was a shocking shout of killing. A large number of Xingtian Army began to appear from the Tuqi River, and the officers and soldiers gathered on the banks of the Jindi River were killed in groups.

Sun Chuanting hurriedly mobilized his troops and wanted to deploy defense, but it was easier said than done. Because of crossing the river, the establishment of many soldiers and horses was already chaotic. It was not easy to mobilize such chaotic soldiers and horses for a while!

Therefore, compared with the people and horses of the Xingtian Army who are going to kill like a whirlwind, the officers and soldiers seem to be mobilized and behaved at a loss. It can even be said that some people want to run, some people want to form a formation of defense, and some people want to attack, but at this time, most of the officers and soldiers are in a state of panic, Shi The anger has fallen a lot. Although they can still be compared with the Xingtian army, but their combat effectiveness can't be compared.

Sun Chuanting ordered the gunners who had not yet crossed the river quickly pulled the cannon to the golden embankment and bombarded the Xing Tianjun who killed with cannons. This played a certain role. When a large number of the Xing Tianjun arrived, dozens of cannons of various types had been mounted on the golden embankment and began to fire at the Xing Tianjun. After the cannonballs flew out, as long as they fell into In the team of Xing Tianjun, there was an immediate rain of blood. However, after all, there are very few flowering bullets used in the cannons in this era, and they are very unsafe. Solid bullets are the main types of cannons. Although they look very majestic and spectacular, their lethality is not too great for personnel. Therefore, such shelling causes killing. There were some casualties of the Xingtian Army, but they did not stop the attack of the Xingtian Army. A large number of Xingtian Army still risked the gunfire and continued to shout to kill Zhentian.
