Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 432: The bloody battle with Mei Yuan is generous and generous (Part )

"kill", "kill", "kill"

Wang Yongqiang's army came slowly in ten square formations commonly used by the Ming army. There are three thousand people in each formation, and the infantry is divided into four sides: forward sentry, rear sentry, left sentry, and right sentry to form the outer barrier of the military formation. The cavalry is located in the center of the formation and serves as the main killing force when the infantry is fighting with the enemy. According to the tradition of the northern Shaanxi frontier army, they took three steps and shouted "kill", which made the grass and trees on the plain tremble.

Qing general Zhang Tianfu and guerrilla Sheng Jiading, who were in the front row, looked pale. They were not rogues, they were clearly elite soldiers. They secretly hated King Pingxi for ostracizing dissidents and putting their own troops at the forefront.

After finally seeing the enemy enter the effective shooting range, Zhang Tianfu gritted his teeth and shouted "shoot". This man was originally a general of the Ming Dynasty. He and his brother Zhang Tianlu joined the army bravely and surrendered when they saw the Qing army's overwhelming strength. He worked with Li Chengdong to suppress the Kunshan and Jiading armies, and participated in the famous "Three Jiading Massacres". Therefore, he joined the Xianghuang Banner Han Army and was awarded the first-class Ashanihaban. From then on, he devoted his life to the Manchu master.

A wave of arrows hit the Yulin army, and many rebel soldiers fell in a pool of blood. General Zhang was feeling proud when he suddenly realized that it was getting dark, and more arrows were fired at his military formation, blocking out the sky and the sun.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~" Arrows rained down like rain, and countless subordinates were shot into hedgehogs.

"No, put up your shield quickly." Zhang Tianfu howled and put up his shield, but was shot in the arm. "Yeah", a pitiful cry.

The arrow rain finally stopped, and the Qing army's formation was in disarray. The Yulin Army's military formation took the opportunity to wedge deeply in, and dispersed the Qing Army with just one charge.

Zhang Tianfu said nothing, covered his arms and ran for his life. Sheng Jiading ran faster than him.

"Useless trash," Wu Zhimao, the commander of the Second Formation of the Qing Dynasty, cursed angrily and directed Zhang Guozhu, Wang Pingfan and others to form a stubborn resistance.

The troops of Wang Yongzhen, Gao Youcai, Liu Denggou, and Xie Rude of the Yulin Army roared in. Among them, Wang Yongzhen was particularly fierce. He caught up with the guerrilla Sheng Jiading of Qingxing'an Town and cut him in two with a single swing of his sword.

Wu Zhimao gradually couldn't hold on anymore. Wu Sangui urgently ordered Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, and Gao Dejie to reinforce him, and then he could barely stabilize the army. When the battle came to an emergency, Li Guohan, the bodyguard of Morgan who served as the supervisor of the army, had to dispatch and led 2,100 Xianglan Banner Han Army cavalry to attack the Yulin Army. However, he was stopped and killed by 2,000 cavalrymen of Guo Yuqi, the heroic general of the Yulin Army.

The two sides fought from morning to evening. Wu Jun barely managed to avoid collapse, but his morale was greatly reduced.

"The last general is guilty, please punish King Ping Xi." Zhang Tianfu knelt on the ground in despair, secretly thinking that he was not a direct descendant of Wu Sangui, so he was placed on the front line. Now that he had lost the battle, this guy didn't take the opportunity to kill him. Annex your own people?

"If he is guilty, it is also my fault. What crime is Mr. Zhang guilty of?" Wu Sangui walked to his side, helped him up with his own hands, and took all the blame on himself, "It was only because I underestimated the thief Wang that I was guilty." This defeat is not the fault of the generals."

"Thank you to King Pingxi for not killing him." Zhang Tianfu was so surprised that he was moved to tears and his voice choked up.

Even Li Guohan secretly praised King Pingxi for his magnanimity!
Tolerance can defeat millions of soldiers. Wu Sangui spared Zhang Tianfu, which unknowingly revived the Wu army's low morale.

King Pingxi shocked everyone by saying, "Although the thieves are rampant, I have a strategy to defeat them."

In the early morning of the next day, the fierce Yulin army launched another fierce attack, only to find that the camp was empty and there was only an empty camp opposite.

"Brother, the Tatars have escaped," Wang Yongzhen reported to Wang Yongqiang excitedly.

Wang Yongqiang observed carefully and found that the enemy camp was scattered. He thought he had escaped during the night and did not bother to clean it up carefully. "If you chase E, you must not let the Wu thieves escape back to Xi'an. As long as the Wu thieves are annihilated, Xi'an will be in the pocket of Brother E still."

Encouraged by the victory, Wang Yongzhen, Gao Youcai, Liu Denggou, Xie Rude, and Guo Yuqi followed the traces of the Qing army in pursuit. When they chased them to the Shunyang River, they saw that the enemy was only running away in a panic, even abandoning their helmets, armor, and horses. Boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and silks and satins were also scattered on the ground.

The last thing a thief sees is gold, silver, and jewelry. Wang Yongqiang's troops suddenly fell into chaos. All the troops were fighting for their property, and the formations were out of formation.

"Kill~kill~kill~" The ambush troops hiding in the reeds rushed out, and the Wu army who had previously pretended to flee in panic also turned around and counterattacked. The Yulin army, which had been so powerful before, was suddenly killed and fled in all directions.

"No, we've fallen into a trap! Get out, get out quickly!" Wang Yongqiang screamed sadly, and fled with his brother Wang Yongzhen.

In this battle, more than 7,000 people from Wang Yongqiang's troops were wiped out, and general Guo Yuqi was killed in the battle.

Wang Yongzhen defended his brother and ran desperately, finally getting rid of the pursuers. "Brother, we are safe. Wu Sangui is too sinister, and he will take revenge sooner or later," he said angrily.

Suddenly, Wang Yongqiang stumbled and fell off his horse.

"Brother", Wang Yongzhen hurriedly helped him up, and suddenly found that a deep arrow had been inserted into his brother's back.

"Second brother, I can't do it any more. From now on, the Yulin Army will be handed over to Ruo Lie," Wang Yongqiang gasped.

"No, this is just a minor injury. My brother will definitely get better." Wang Yongzhen was so sad that he burst into tears.

"Eben is a farmer. That year there was a severe drought in northern Shaanxi. Most of the people in the village starved to death. They had to rise up and flee for their lives. I have made enough money to survive until now." Wang Yongqiang laughed and coughed as he gave his final explanation, " After Er's death, if you take your brothers back to your hometown in Yulin. If you can't defend Yulin, you can defect to Weiguo. Zhang Zhang's military strength is small and it is difficult to become a great weapon. You must not defect to him." After saying this, the great thief's voice stopped and his breath disappeared.

"Brother~" Wang Yongzhen's cry echoed through the wilderness.

Wang Yongzhen fled back to Pucheng. Wang Yongde left 5,000 miscellaneous soldiers in Pucheng. Generals Gao Youcai, Liu Denggou, and Xie Rude came to join them one after another. The number of defenders reached more than 20,000, and the military strength was restored.

Wu Sangui's troops pursued him, they were densely packed and their flags blocked out the sun.

"There are artillery on the city. Mi Zhibo can lure the Wu thieves to answer and fire them with artillery." Sun Shining, a Yulin Daoist who surrendered to the rebel army, suggested a plan. After the surrender, he had no way out and could only be tightly tied to the Yulin Army.

Wang Yongzhen nodded, climbed to the city and shouted: "Wang Yongzhen of northern Shaanxi is here, please come forward and answer the question, King Pingxi."

Hearing that Wang Yongzhen wanted to chat with him, Wu Sangui laughed loudly, "The thieves are at the end of their rope, that guy must want to surrender. Hum, how can he still want to live at this point?"

"Your Majesty, you might as well give in and lure the thieves into surrender before dealing with them," Li Guohan said.

"What Li Weiwei said is that if we can induce the thieves to surrender, it will save our army casualties." Wu Sangui said perfunctorily, but in his heart, he was thinking that the casualties this time were not small. After he deceived the city, he must use lightning to cover it up. With the force of the ear, all the cronies of the Wang brothers were killed, and the elite of the Yulin army were collected and given to the various armies.
