Chapter 635: The Shield Vehicle Breaks the Camp (4)

Song Xiance shouted: "Official dogs are the way of playing the Tartars! Many of them are Mongolian Tartars!"

"Is this the Mongolian Tartars' tactic?" Li Yan asked.

Song Xiance replied: "No, it's Jiannu."

Li Yan said: "The tatars' fighting style is indeed worthy. It is not unreasonable that the official dog on the opposite side defeated Jiannu repeatedly. If the king takes the world in the future, he will have to face Jiannu, and we have to find a way to deal with Jiannu."

Song Xiance said: "In fact, Li Lao Er's playing style is different from Jiannu's playing style. Jiannu is not as sharp as Li Lao Er's firearm. We can't beat Li Lao Er, but we are familiar with Jiannu's tactics and have some chances of winning against Jiannu."

While the two were talking, the Ming army had already filled the trench, and the shield chariot ran through the filled trench and entered the camp of the rebel army.

"King, go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" Gu Junen came to Li Zicheng with a group of guards.

Li Zicheng shouted: "Uh, don't leave! The battle has not yet been decided! The official dog rushed into the camp. What we need most is people. What are we afraid of? "

At this moment, someone came to report: "King, king, something is wrong! The official dog in Kaifeng City rushed out and broke the camp outside our army!"

He Xing, who was sent by Li Guodong to assist Chen Yongfu in Kaifeng City to defend the city, immediately led his 10,000 troops out of Kaifeng City after seeing the fireworks signal from the north of the city. When Chen Yongfu saw the counterattack, he also led thousands of troops out of the city.

Because the Jinyang Army's offensive against the rebel army in the north of the city, Li Zicheng and most of the rebel generals went to the north of the city to fight against the Jinyang Army. As a result, the rebel camp outside Kaifeng City was empty.

The more than 10,000 infantry under He Xing's command were the most elite infantry of the Jinyang Army, including 6,400 firearms, bird guns and turtledove-legged guns used were equipped with bayonets, and the rest were iron armored soldiers and spear soldiers.

"Kill the thief!" Five hundred elite iron-armored soldiers rushed in the front, and the iron-armored soldiers in plate armor shouted and rushed into the camp of the rebel army. The swords were swung up and down. Wherever they passed, the rebel army they encountered were either different from their heads or cut into two pieces in half.

Even if the cavalry hit the Long Sword Warrior, they would suffer a great loss. The sharp Long Sword passed and the people and horses were shattered.

This long sword is made of the Japanese spear. In fact, the Japanese spear was improved on the basis of the Tang Dynasty Mo sword. The blade of this long sword is four feet long and the wooden handle behind it is five feet long. It can be used as a big knife and as a long spear stab. It is longer and sharper than the Pu sword of the Song Dynasty. The materials are better and powerful. Whether it is against infantry or cavalry, it will be chopped like chopping melons and vegetables. However, the cost of the long sword is too high, so Li Guodong only has one thousand long sword iron armored soldiers in his hand.

Following the long sword iron armor soldier is a 1,000 sword player. The sword player uses a good Miao knife. He has an iron shield on his left hand and is also covered with heavy armor. When dealing with opponent's heavy weapon soldiers, a sword player is more beneficial than a long sword soldier. The sword player can use a shield to block the opponent's heavy weapons and then chop with a Miao knife. If the long sword encounters hammers, maces, etc., it is easy to be damaged, and those heavy weapons can also penetrate the iron armor.

In addition to encountering heavy weapons and firearms, the Long Sword Warriors will easily cut over with one knife, regardless of whether their opponent is a spearman or a knife player. The Long Sword Warriors are not afraid of archers. The bows and arrows are shot on their thick armor and are bounced away.

The sword player who followed the long sword soldier rushed forward and slashed the refugees in the trespassing army with great pleasure. The bird gunners and turtledog-footed gunners behind them were arranged in neat formations, pressing forward step by step, and the bird guns and turtledog-footed guns in their hands were not released at all!

Li Guodong's firearms have bayonets that can fight in close combat. When charging, before rushing into the opponent's ten steps, all firearms will not fire, so as to put more pressure on the opponent, because there are bullets in the opponent's musket. Who knows when to send him a shot? He will hit him at close range, but he will kill him.

Six thousand five hundred firearm soldiers followed the hand-to-hand combat soldiers and rushed into the camp of the treasury army. The swordsmen, swordsmen and spearmen in front immediately spread out to both sides, revealing the firearmsmen behind.

The refugees of the trespassed the army shouted and rushed up, but heard a deafening sound of guns twenty steps away. The soldiers of the trespassed blood sprayed one after another, thrusting one after another in the pool of blood, covered with blood holes with white smoke.

In the second row, the third row of bird gunmen opened fire one after another. After the sound of the third row of guns, a large area of ​​the rebels in front fell down.

"Run!"

"The official dog firearm is so powerful!"

The refugees in front of them scattered into birds and beasts and ran away shouting.

The Ming army's bird gunners still had four rows of fire, and the turtledove-legged gunners had not fired.

The Ming army advanced in front with swordsman, armored soldiers and spearmen, followed by bird gunners and turtledog-footed gunners, and advanced all the way forward. Chen Yongfu's cavalry also came out of the city. Seeing that the rebel army had retreated, Chen Yongfu immediately led his troops to chase after him.

Most of the old camp soldiers of the rebel army were in the north and used to stop Li Guodong. The rebel soldiers left in the besieged city of Kaifeng were almost all vacant cannon fodder, and there were very few real veteran soldiers. They were rushed into the camp by the Ming army, and the refugees fled in all directions, without any fighting spirit.

"What? The camp outside our army was broken by a dog?" Li Zicheng felt dizzy when he heard the news. A stinging pain came from his blind left eye socket.

Gu Junen and Li Yan advised each other hard: "King, go quickly! We have already lost this battle! If we don't leave, it will be too late!"

Although the rebel army only lost less than 10% and there were millions of people, everyone knew that the old camp soldiers who could really fight had lost a lot just now. What kind of people were all of them, most of them were refugee cannon fodder, and some were surrendered Ming army soldiers. How could such a mob resist Li Guodong's elite soldiers like wolves and tigers?

"Retreat!" Li Zicheng gave the order in pain. When he said these two words, he felt the nerves in his left eye socket twitch, and a heart-wrenching pain came.

In order to open the Feng 2, Li Zicheng can be said to have carefully prepared for more than a year, conquered all the small counties around Luoyang, and also brought more than 500,000 people from the mountainous areas at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi. With his own 800,000 army, he put together a huge army of more than 1.3 million people to open the Feng 2. Who knew that when he met Li Guodong, he failed in the first battle. Then Li Guodong ignored him and took away a group of refugees. Li Zicheng opened the Feng again and fought for seven days and seven nights, but suffered heavy losses but no gains.

Now that he concentrated heavy troops and arranged elite camps in the north of the city were attacked by the Jinyang army and the Huai army, hundreds of thousands of people were defeated by tens of thousands of people, Li Zicheng was really unwilling to accept it.

As a result, the war in the north was not over, and more than 10,000 Ming troops rushed out of the city, and actually overturned the camp of a rebel army of as many as one million people, defeating more than one million people and fleeing in a panic.

The Ming army's shield and chariots rushed into the camp of the rebel army. The infantry slashed and slashed in the camp. The light and heavy cavalry surrounded the two wings and attacked from the side of the rebel army. For a moment, the Ming army stepped on the camp, and the refugees in the camp ran around and fled, in a mess.

Li Zicheng, with his generals and four military advisors, left behind the "million-million army" and fled in a panic under the escort of a group of old battalions.

"The thief was defeated! The thief was defeated!" Seeing Li Zicheng's central army flag fleeing westward, the Ming army shouted one after another.

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, Li Guodong sent an order: "There is no need to chase and kill the old camp cavalry of the trespassers. We have gathered all these refugees."

The Ming army infantry arrested the refugees of the rebel army on the spot. With the shouts of "surrendering but not killing", the refugees who could not escape knelt on the ground to surrender, and were honestly tied up by the Ming army and sent away.

The light and heavy cavalry and some infantry went to chase the escaped refugees. After all, the human beings could not escape. When they saw the Ming cavalry chasing up, the refugees who knew they could not escape knelt down and surrendered and were taken away by the infantry who rushed there.
