Chapter 52 Qilu Situation III: The Last Battle 2
There is a small hill between Beigou where Liu Zeqing is located and Liujiagou where Zheng Sen is located, called Yushan. It is said that it was the place where Gun was killed by Shun in poor control of the floods. Later, it became the starting point for the Eight Immortals to cross the sea. In such a famous place, as a child of a famous family, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu set up his "big camp" at the foot of Yushan. In addition to his own camp, Cai Jiuyi, 500 people, there were also Jinan deputy general Ni Chong and Qingzhou garrison Li Shiyuan.
On this day, it was the second day after the three "armys" arrived near Dengzhou. If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Zeqing and Zheng Sen should have attacked the besieged Akdunhan Haijun.
It was just dawn. According to the usual rules of the Ming army, Yan Jizu should be playing drums in his big tent. At that time, Liu Zeqing and Zheng Sen should come to obey the orders within the three-way drum.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jizu was woken up by Cai Jiuyi before he could get up.
"Military Gate! The enemy is attacking!"
Yan Jizu, who was still in the dream of the immortalization of Yushan, woke up suddenly, and he quickly grabbed Cai Jiuyi.
"Where is the attack?"
Cai Jiuyi replied: "It is our army's camp."
Yan Jizu secretly scolded in his heart that this was the least bullying of him. "I was still standing still and I was so busy that I quickly sent an order to Ni Chong and Li Shiyuan came to obey the order."
Before Cai Jiuyi could go far, Yan Jizu shouted again: "Send a fast horse to inform Liu Zeqing, Zheng Sen knows it."
In an instant, Yan Jizu placed all his hopes on Zheng Sen in Liujiagou. Although this person was young, he was a disciple of Qian Qianyi, a great scholar of this dynasty. Liu Zeqing was originally a family slave. He used to being arrogant and domineering when he was in Jinan. He really might not obey his own words.
What he didn't expect again was that Akdun actually sent out all three cavalry brigades under his command early in the morning.
He personally led the First Brigade to attack the 20,000 troops, including the Liu Zeqing camp with 5,000 cavalry, and Ye Bushu took the Second Brigade to attack the Zheng Sen tribe in Liujiagou, where there were also Ma Xin's 5,000 cavalrymen. Ma Xin also came from the Shaanxi military general family and had the name of being a good cavalry.
The two thousand cavalry of Zu Zerun, the third brigade, came to attack Yan Jizu's camp, and his other thousand tiger cavalry were naturally taken away by Akdun.
Soon, Yan Jizu learned about the movements of the three enemies on the opposite side, and now he was hesitant.
"The enemy attacked three groups, and the number of enemies I faced was the smallest, but they were all cavalry and all infantry under my command. How could they be the enemy's opponent?"
He suddenly had an idea, and he said to Cai Jiuyi: "Send someone who is good at shooting, I will write a book here and shoot it to the head of Dengzhou city."
Cai Jiuyi frowned slightly and thought to himself: "Now the enemy attacks three groups, but there are still their infantry camps under the city. It is not easy to reach the city of Dengzhou calmly. However, most of the military gates want Yang Junmen and Yang Zongzhen to attack to disrupt the sight of the three groups of troops that are already attacking. This is a good move. However, I heard that Dengzhou City has only 3,000 troops and there are not enough guards to the city. How can we attack?"
But he still obeyed the order.
Soon, Ni Chong and Li Shiyuan joined forces to Yan Jizu's tent. Ni Chong was short and strong, with a glossy face. He was a typical veteran. He was originally stationed in Dezhou. He heard that Liu Zeqing followed Yan Jizu's arrangement and retreated to Jinan after he went south. His idea was to replace Liu Zeqing as the general of Shandong.
And Li Shiyuan is worth a lot of writing here.
This man was a martial artist, tall and fierce. In the original history, he designed to kill Yao Yingfeng and Zhao Yingyuan, and was the most critical role in the historical record "Qingzhou Incident". After Beijing fell, he was ready to elect King Heng Zhu Youqi to raise a banner to command the troops from all over Shandong. Unfortunately, Zhu Youqi did not agree.
After the Qing army advanced south, he finally surrendered.
From this incident, we can see how hatred and disdainful this person has towards the peasant army, but he has not resisted too much to the Qing army, which is clearly a "barbarian".
He is still a very capable person. Such people are like this, and others can be imagined.
Of course, now the Crown Prince Zhu Cilang went south early to Nanjing to supervise the country. King Fu and King Lu could not have any inappropriate thoughts. The court was "orthodox" standing in Nanjing, so Li Shiyuan naturally had no idea of joining the Hanhai army. However, when he saw that the Hanhai army was not large, he had been defeated by the garrison for a long time because of "not being able to meet" and still wanted to show his skills in front of the Shandong Governor.
"Military Sect", according to the position, Li Shiyuan is far inferior to Ni Chong, who is the deputy general. However, he looked down on veterans like Ni Chong the most in his life. Moreover, his soldiers and horses are almost the same as Ni Chong, so he spoke without considering the superiors and inferiors. "The last general is willing to fight!"
"oh?"
Yan Jizu's eyes lit up, and he was filled with some praise, "But the enemy is all cavalry, and you are all infantry under your command, how about this..."
Li Shiyuan looked solemn, "Otherwise, the infantry may not be defeated by the cavalry. Don't worry, the military gate, you can go upstairs to watch the battle and see how your subordinates defeat the enemy."
Yan Jizu was both happy and worried.
Li Shiyuan is unknown in Shandong. Could he be a "famous general" who is hidden?
He was also afraid that Li Shiyuan would boast that the entire army would be wiped out after he went out, which would lead to weak guards in his camp, but he was also afraid that the loyal and brave generals would be cold.
At this time, Ni Chong spoke, and he said, "It's okay, the military gate. The last general has five hundred archers, so he can protect General Li from the side."
Seeing that his subordinates were all "united" and had no rift at all, Yan Jizu was also very relieved. If he did not agree to Li Shiyuan at this time, wouldn't he show that he was also a coward?
"Well, I will follow you, but you can hear it clearly. Don't leave the camp too far, otherwise General Ni will not be able to protect you. If the momentum is wrong, withdraw the camp quickly!"
"Abide by the order!"
Li Shiyuan took his two thousand infantry out of the camp.
He was born in Qi Jiguang's hometown and still had some ideas about military tactics. He also had some support for his courage to make a boast about Yan Jizu.
His two thousand infantry had 1,500 spearmen, and the rest were archers.
Since Zu Zerun came to the north of the camp, all his two thousand infantrymen drove out from the south gate. After opening the camp gate, he formed a hedgehog formation in a very short time.
Five hundred archers are in the middle, and there are 1,500 spearmen outside. The spears in their hands are facing outside. If the cavalry wants to rush forward, they have to consider it.
If a formation like Li Shiyuan encounters ordinary Mongolian cavalry in the past, it will be difficult for them to attack, but it will be different for the Hanhai Army.
In fact, the Han Hai Army, which focuses on comprehensive grasp of the battlefield environment, had long known that an infantry army had come out to "respond to the battle". At first, Zu Zerun's reaction was "Do you want to run away?" After Li Shiyuan formed this hedgehog formation near the south gate, he couldn't help but laugh.
"If this hedgehog formation was in the previous Guanning Army or the Han Army flag, it would be difficult to break, but it would be easier if it was the Hanhai Army."
He quickly made up his mind.
Since there were also Ni Chong's 500 archers near the wall of the Daying Village, Zu Zerun launched an attack from the south of Li Shiyuan's formation.
He personally led a thousand flying dragon riders to the head and rushed towards the large formation with spearheads!
When Li Shiyuanfu in the formation saw the dazzling outfits of the Hanhai cavalry, he felt a little regretful.
"I miscalculated it, but I didn't expect that the cavalry would be wrapped so tightly in the world."
However, even if the war horse had a mask on its head, its eyes were exposed. They must avoid it when they saw so many sharp objects. When they thought of this, Li Shiyuan's somewhat nervous heart calmed down a little.
"Shoot the arrow!"
When the flying dragon cavalry entered the range of the bow and arrow, the five hundred archers in his formation threw arrows and came forward!
Zu Zerun did not waver his determination to move forward. The wave of arrows just now hit the knight. The horse's eyes were very small, and most of the shots were shot on the buttocks of the horse. The front half of the horse's horse's horse was hard leather armor, but the back half was ordinary leather armor. This kind of leather armor was naturally not good at dealing with the arrows shot in the face, but it could greatly slow down the power of arrow throwing.
In an instant, the war horse with an arrow thrown on its buttocks accelerated its pace like a whip by a knight!
"Fu low!"
Seeing that the results of his archers were not obvious, Li Shiyuan was also nervous. In order to prevent the enemy cavalry from rushing forward despite life and death, he immediately issued an order to lower his body and hold the spear in his hands.
What surprised him was that the knights wrapped in bright armor, who were all over their bodies, suddenly turned their heads and ran to both sides as soon as they approached their own formation, revealing the thousand tiger riders behind them!
The tiger cavalry stopped when it was about ten feet away from the formation, and pointed a Franchise gun in his hand at them!
"Bang……"
In an instant, the guns were heard. After the shooting was completed, the tiger cavalry turned their horses and ran to both sides, revealing the tiger cavalry behind them.
These tiger riders did not have Franchise guns, nor did they stay in front of the large formation. Under the attack of the Franchise guns just now, smoke filled the vicinity of the large formation, and the spearmen in the front row quickly became sparse, but under the strict order of Li Shiyuan, they barely maintained the formation.
The last band of tiger cavalry rushed up, and as soon as they approached the formation, they threw out a net bag in their hands!
The objects in the net pocket were dark, which made Li Shiyuan suddenly think of something.
"Guduo?"
"boom!!!"
When these "bone flowers" exploded above the formation, the formation was already shaking!
At this time, the thousand flying dragon cavalry that Zu Zerun personally transferred to the front of the team again!
"flutter!!!"
Just south of the formation, the flying dragon cavalry suddenly cut in!
The war that followed was not good. When the spikes on the hedgehog were pulled out, the skin inside was left to be taken away by others.
Zu Zerun's cavalry quickly cut the formation against each other. When his team came to the other side of the formation, the formation had become completely sparse. At this time, the tiger cavalry came up again.
Under the attack of the cavalry, all two thousand infantry soldiers, including Li Shiyuan, were killed in less than half an hour!
On the Hanhai Army, only a few people were thrown away by the injured war horses in the throwing arrow just now.
Zu Zerun took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and the flying dragon cavalry moved closer to him one after another. The flying dragon cavalry in the first row took out the tiger claws and leaping cables on their bodies.
"Dadadada"
The knights of the flying dragon cavalry were galloping while swinging the tiger claws in their hands. Their purpose was also clear. One hundred riders with tiger claws were dispatched to grab the village wall with their tiger claws. With one hundred war horses pulling at the same time, the village wall had only one fate.
Depressed in response!
However, the moment these hundred cavalry approached the village wall, the camp gate opened.
As soon as the horse flew out, there was an old man tied up in front of him.
Zu Zerun happened to meet someone from here.
Ni Chong!
The person lying horizontally was naturally the governor of the army that "surrounded" the Hanhai Army and the governor of Shandong Yan Jizu. Just now, Ni Chong took advantage of Cai Jiuyi's arrival at his tent to convey the combat order and took him down while he was unprepared. Unfortunately, Cai Jiuyi was not a martial arts master who was famous in Guangdong twenty years later. If he wanted to win this title, he had to go to Shaolin Temple to practice for a few more years. Therefore, although he was powerful in martial arts, he still had to be in a hurry to take Ni Chong's way.
After Yan Jizu and Cai Jiuyi were taken down, Cai Jiuyi's five hundred budget camp was not in a position to continue to work hard.
Chapter completed!
