Great Ming National Teacher

Chapter 50 Li Zicheng

This time it was not Cao Bianjiao's greedy wolf cavalry, but the cavalry under Lu Xiangsheng's command.

Lu Xiangsheng was good at training soldiers. He modified the firearms according to their strengths and weaknesses, and divided his 1 men into several parts.

First, there are two regiments of heavy infantry. His original idea was to let them all wear iron armor and stand at the front with a giant shield, while the people behind hold iron spears more than three meters long, forming a barrier together, which can completely restrain the enemy's cavalry , couldn't get through at all.

Li Yunya is obedient to the profession. Not only did he not object, but he also helped to improve it. He made a special shield car, which was made of steel and has wheels on the bottom. It can be pushed on top of each other. When it is put down, there is a bracket behind the shield. , is also equipped with iron brazing, which can be nailed to the ground, and can be locked together to form a piece. There are special long gun holes and shooting holes in the middle of the shield. This set of fortifications is laid out and arranged in a circular hedgehog formation. No matter how powerful the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were, they would not be able to break through unless they were bombarded with cannonballs.

Lu Xiangsheng also specially trained a thousand cavalry. Unlike Cao Bianjiao's greedy wolf cavalry, these thousand cavalry belonged to the broken barracks. Under Lu Xiangsheng's command, they were hidden behind the artillery during the war.

In this way, breaking the barracks can be defended, attacked, and can be used to chase and wipe out the remnants of the enemy in field battles.

Today Lu Xiangsheng was in command of the battle and noticed the changes in the battle situation. He yelled: "The morale of the enemy army has been demoralized. The cavalry regiment followed me to capture the enemy chief alive and dedicate it to the national division!" It's not necessarily that he doesn't have the desire to strive for success, but he is a civil servant, he is very good at nourishing his energy, and he is very considerate of the overall situation, and he refuses to make rash advances, but he will not give up on things he is sure of.

Lu Xiangsheng got on his horse and carried a knife. His horse was also given by Li Yunya. It was a good horse from Dawan. The big knife in his hand was specially made for him by Li Yunya's arsenal. It weighed dozens of catties. He took the lead in the charge, and his thousand cavalry followed closely behind. They didn't use electric guns, but only bows and arrows. Lu Xiangsheng mainly practiced their archery skills. Throw palm mines when the enemy swarms close.

Knives slashed and thunder exploded, forcibly opening a bloody path. The peasant army's discipline was not good at all, and they were killed miserably, and they ran away with their heads in their hands.

Lu Xiangsheng rode on the horse and went straight to Feng Shuangli. Feng Shuangli saw such a cavalry suddenly approaching, and hurriedly mobilized his own elite soldiers to stop it, but the elite is relative. It can be called the elite, and the others are scumbags. Lu Xiangsheng led the team like a precious sword, splitting the enemy army in an instant, and killed Feng Shuangli. More than [-] riders around Feng Shuangli each raised their swords and guns, and Lu Xiangsheng swung them. The knife hacked six people and fell off their horses. The rest were so frightened that they turned around and ran for their lives. Lu Xiangsheng chased after Feng Shuangli and swung his knife.

With a sound of "clang", Feng Shuangli's powerful iron gun was bent by Lu Xiangsheng with a knife. Feng Shuangli's hands were bleeding from the tiger's mouth, and he still gritted his teeth desperately. He grabbed the barrel of the gun and raised the man high up. At the same time, he swung a knife with his right hand and cut the two rescued enemy generals into four quarters. Here he captured Feng Shuangli with his left hand and knocked him out with a punch. He immediately led his troops to continue to charge.

Most of the generals with Feng Shuangli as the core were beheaded by Lu Xiangsheng, and the whole team collapsed in an instant. Just like what Lu Xiangsheng said before, after the leader was killed, the tens of thousands of mobs could no longer have a sense of resistance. Just crying and howling, not distinguishing between east, west, north and south, running around all over the mountains and plains.

Seeing the victory of the former army, Li Yunya immediately ordered the whole army to charge forward. Cao Bianjiao, who was already "hungry and thirsty", immediately roared and led the army to charge. The [-] Greedy Wolf Riders were divided into three parts again, like a huge trident , into the chaotic peasant army, making them even more chaotic, rushing to the left is also a cavalry, rushing to the right is also a cavalry, rushing forward is a roaring gun, you can only run back and forth, throw away your weapons, and use your hands He hugged his head and exerted all his energy for breastfeeding. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to escape from here as soon as possible...

Tens of thousands of disintegrated rebels were quickly driven to the front of the main force of Zhang Xianzhong's central army. They did not have the consciousness of Hong Chengchou's subordinates, and rushed directly into their own army formation. Zhang Xianzhong's central army did not have any formation, and it was also a mess. , was rushed into chaos, accompanied by the earth-shaking explosions, and the shouts and howls of the rout soldiers, only knew that the large troops of the Ming army were coming, Zhang Xianzhong asked people to catch the chaos soldiers and asked them, only said that the enemy was everywhere There are Ming cavalry everywhere, as well as cannons, which can kill a lot of people with one shot.

Although Gao Yingxiang has established the country, there are some scholars who know the art of war with books such as "Ji Xiao Xin Shu" or "Wu Bei Lu" to help him train the army, but the time is too short, and generally speaking, it is still a group of rogues. Let alone orders and prohibitions, even the orders of the Marshal of the Chinese Army cannot be effectively conveyed. The more people there are, the worse the control will be. Those inexperienced peasants will be taken into captivity, just thinking about saving their lives. If the two armies confront each other, Zhang Xianzhong will order his own guards As a supervising team, holding a knife to press behind, you can also play the role of cannon fodder. In this field situation, 10,000+ troops spread out for tens of miles, and they cannot communicate with each other. Everyone is very blind. If it goes smoothly, there will be an avalanche-like rout.

Zhang Xianzhong encountered this kind of situation now. Before he saw the figures of the officers and soldiers, he was dispersed by his own team first. Zhang Xianzhong asked his guards to kill hundreds of people in a row, so he barely stabilized the situation, but soon Lu Xiangsheng The cavalry with Cao Bianjiao rushed in.

Cao Bianjiao led professional cavalry, who specialized in charging and killing immediately. One shot at random, one shot at grenades, and one shot with knives.

The cavalry led by Lu Xiangsheng is mainly used to chase and annihilate the remnants of the enemy, guerrilla harassment, fighting tough battles is not as good as the greedy wolf cavalry, but Lu Xiangsheng is too fierce, wielding a big knife is invincible, meeting gods and gods, meeting ghosts and ghosts, beside Zhang Xianzhong There are also several fierce generals, some old buddies who have been fighting with him since the beginning of the uprising, and the sons he adopted from the children he was optimistic about. Swords and guns were held together to stop Lu Xiangsheng from fighting. They fought more than ten moves, and Lu Xiangsheng could not retreat. When he fought again, the cavalry led by Lu Xiangsheng came over. They all ran for their lives.

At the same time when Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Bianjiao led the army to attack Zhang Xianzhong's main force, Li Yunya in the rear encountered another enemy army from the west. The leader of this group was the well-known Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng is Gao Yingxiang's nephew. At this moment, the real Chuang Wang is Gao Yingxiang. In history, Li Zicheng dared to call Chuang Wang until Gao Yingxiang died. When Gao Yingxiang was alive, he only dared to call Chuang General.

In the struggle at the end of last year, Li Zicheng stood firmly on the side of his emperor's uncle, helped him kill several leaders of the rebellious army, and annexed their teams. A great force.

He came all the way to the west of Zhang Xianzhong along Luliang Mountain, just in time to meet Li Yunya's rear army.

Li Yunya found that another team was coming from the west, and the cavalry in front had penetrated into the enemy's line and would not be able to call back for a while. Hong Chengchou advised him to send someone to bring Cao Bianjiao and Lu Xiangsheng back.

Li Yunya knew that the south had the largest number of cadres. If they were not defeated in one fell swoop, and they turned around to organize their troops, even if they repelled the enemies from the west, they would immediately fall into a bitter battle like an ocean. The army was confident, and said angrily, "What are you asking them to do? Send an order to Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Bianjiao, let them completely defeat Zhang Xianzhong's troops for me, and the rest of us will form an army on the slope over there!"

Lu Xiangsheng only took away 9000 cavalry, and there were still 1000 people in the broken barracks. Added to Hong Chengchou's [-]-odd men, there were still more than [-] soldiers, and there were enough guns and ammunition. Even if Li Zicheng came with [-], why would he be afraid?

The action of breaking the barracks was extremely fast. After hearing the order, they immediately moved up the slope. The heavy vehicles were at the front, and the guards with shields and guns took turns to protect Li Yunya. Outside in a circle, a cannon was installed at intervals. Long guns pointing obliquely at the sky protruded from the gaps on the edge of the iron shield. The gunner reloads in the inner ring and prepares to fire.

Hong Chengchou's team was also guarded in the circle. He stroked his beard and thought to himself, this master of the state teacher is really good at training soldiers, and he is definitely not a waste material who only relies on illusions to confuse the emperor as the rumors say. Fighting against this kind of people... He silently lit candles and paper for those people in the capital.

Soon Li Zicheng's team rushed over. They were a little dumbfounded to see such a small fortress-like existence. The first to arrive was the cavalry led by Li Zicheng's brother-in-law Gao Yiwei. After walking around the formation, they found that there was no flaw at all. , followed by Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo. The two men had a combined team of more than 2 people. Divide the team into four parts. I, Gao Yigong, Li Guo, and Liu Fangliang each lead 1 people, and attack from all sides at the same time.

Li Yunya asked the gunners to stabilize. The enemy did not fire when they entered the range of the artillery, nor did they fire when they entered the range of the mortars. They waited until they were within the range of the guns before allowing the three types of arms to fire at the same time. A burst of fire slammed into the enemy's ranks. This cannon can hit 3000 meters away, and the enemy's front has already rushed within a distance of 100 meters. This cannon blasted in, directly smashing the people in front, and the people behind were miserable. Howling, a rain of blood, shrapnel flying, followed by mortar shells crackling and falling like dumplings within an area of ​​200 meters to 400 meters.
