Chapter 368: Horse Stepping Company Camp


The reason why it was wrong was very simple.

The first thousand people who entered the camp were very normal.

They had tattered shirts and almost no armor to protect their bodies.

They were normal beggar soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Now this is also the dress of the rebels.

What happened next was that the majestic cavalry with tall horses, full body armor, and majestic cavalry entered the camp one by one.

If there were dozens of them, Wang Zideng thought that Zhang Wenhuan had used the money and food obtained in Dengzhou to build up his own bodyguards.

They are all wearing armor, no matter whether it is iron armor or leather armor.

But after hundreds of such soldiers entered the main camp, the Beijing camp, it must be the Beijing camp, his mother Zhang Wenhuan surrendered to the enemy.

Wang Zideng turned around and shouted, "It's the army, preparing for war."

At this moment, two soldiers flashed out from Zhang Wenhuan's side and fired their short muskets at Wang Ziden, making two loud bangs.

One of Wang Zideng's guards pushed him, which saved Wang Ziden's life.

One bullet hit his guard, and another bullet hit Wang Ziden's shoulder.

Prince Deng was hit and staggered down.

A dozen of his guards drew their swords and gathered around to protect him.

Next to Zhang Wenhuan, a man as tall and strong as a bear rushed towards Wang Zideng with more than a dozen people.

The guards around Wang Zideng hurriedly stepped forward to fight.

The giant man waved his iron rod and knocked away several of the guards' weapons in an instant.

Instead of charging into battle, Wang Zideng's guards were all armed with short weapons such as waist knives.

If they could withstand such a huge force, the waist knives and long swords would either be knocked away or shattered.

The others around the giant man took the opportunity to attack several unarmed guards with swords and guns, and cooperated with this tacit understanding.

At this moment, the cavalrymen accelerated their horses and rushed towards the camp, and the roaring sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the morning.

Wang Zideng, who was being lifted up with a grin on his face, saw the cavalry passing by at lightning speed.

He knew it was over.

At this time, most of the soldiers in the tent were asleep, and only a few people were on duty.

But he certainly didn't expect it.

If someone attacks the camp like this, there is no warning sign at all.

"Zhang Wenhuan, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."

Wang Zideng shouted sternly.

With a bang, the last guard in front of him was knocked away with a stick.

Wang Zideng held a waist knife in one hand and slashed at the giant man.

It's a pity that his left arm was injured and he couldn't hold back his strength, but his strength was far from enough.

The giant man raised his iron rod, and Wang Zideng's single sword was released immediately.

The iron rod then came back and hit Wang Ziden flying a foot away.

When he hit the ground, he was already rolled into a shapeless ball.

The deputy marshal of Denglai rebels and the former Dongjiang military commander was killed on the spot.

In order to cut off the enemy leader, Zhao Lie sent Yu Dabao, a fierce melee fighter, and it turned out to be a fatal blow.

The cavalry still entered the camp like flying, and there were shouts of killing inside.

They were rushed into camp without preparation for battle.

Many soldiers did not even wear full clothing and fled in all directions.

The cavalry was already scattering and killing, driving the rebels around, but they could not be centralized and organized.

As a result, the camp became more and more chaotic, and everyone was confused.

In the end, even the Polu cavalry became scattered.

Anyway, when you see the rebels, you just kill them and drive them away.

Nan Yong also lost contact with most of his troops soon after he led his thousands of troops into the camp.

He led the hundred troops led by Yuan Gang and Lu Houcai to charge inside, and soon he discovered a place where rebels were gathering.

They began to form a team.

He even used a three-eyed musket to fire at the approaching Ming cavalry, and killed several Polu cavalry.

"Yuan Gang, use fire guns to defeat them."

Nan Yong shouted.

Yuan Gang responded cleanly, waved his saber and led his cavalry to rush towards the group of four to five hundred rebels.

At a distance of forty steps, the short muskets of the Polu army were fired one after another, and the projectiles rushed towards the rebels.

The military formation.

Immediately, a layer of the outer edge of the rebels' formation was cut off, and it became in shambles.

There was no formation at all.

The rebels were in an uproar, and the morale they had just gathered was gone.

Some continued to resist, while others fled in all directions.

Yuan Gang and a hundred cavalrymen brandished their sabers and drove straight into the enemy formation, breaking through the formation in an instant and slashing and killing them.

Nan Yong led Lu Houcai's hundred troops and more than ten of his own guards to rush to the other side.

Sure enough, dozens of guards surrounded a rebel general in full iron armor and stumbled out.

Forty paces away.

Nan Yong aimed at these people with his firecracker.

It was impossible to aim at specific people on a jumping horse, but there were so many enemy troops that it was enough to aim in a general direction.

There was a loud sound of banging firecrackers, and more than ten rebels immediately fell down and rolled into a ball on the ground.

Nan Yong threw away the short gun in his hand.

He drew his saber, made a sword dance, and charged forward on horseback.

Suddenly the two rebels on the outermost side raised two three-eyed blunderbuss, and the match ropes on the side were smoking.

Nan Yong cursed.

Bang bang, the three-eyed gun was fired, and six projectiles were sprayed out one after another.

Nan Yong heard a roar in his ears, and the screams of the cavalry came from behind.

Nan Yong rushed towards Yi Dao's subordinates.

The rebel blocked it with a three-eyed musket, but was cut into pieces by the Yan Fei Dao made of fine iron.

The tip of the knife slashed across the rebel's face from top to bottom, and the rebels let out a long and shrill sound.

Fall to the ground and fight for your life.

Nan Yong's horse's hoof stepped on the rebel's body, the muffled sound of broken bones was heard, and Nan Yong broke through the formation.

His guards also followed him into the military formation, wielding more than a dozen sabers to kill all the enemies.

The rebel general was wielding a big sword and was clumsy on the left and right, with a black face with twitching tendons, but he kept his hands on and resisted silently, never surrendering.

Lu Houcai suddenly appeared behind him, slashing Huashan with his thick-backed sword with the sound of wind.

The traitor general hurriedly blocked it with his sword.

Lu Houcai's borrowed horse power and the power of his own swing were not something he could stop, but with a loud bang, the sword in the traitor's hand flew far away.

Lu Houcai's mount collided with the rebel general, who flew a few feet away with a groan and fell to the ground.

Lu Houcai urged his horse to go over and swung his knife cleanly, cutting off his head.

After checking later, we found out that it was Chen Youde, an old general in the direct line of Kong Youde.

He came from Dongjiang to join his old boss, but he was killed in Huang County.

When Zhao Lie entered the camp, there was a chaos inside and the soldiers were missing.

Han Jian, Lan Mingshan and others also joined the battle.

There was nothing they could do.

There were too many rebels in this camp and it was too vast.

When Zhao Lie saw this chaotic scene, he thought, let's persuade him to surrender.

At first, Zhao Lie did not persuade him to surrender.

That was because he had thousands of people sneaking up on tens of thousands to persuade them to surrender.

How to persuade them to surrender?

The other side was prepared and formed a formation that could give the Polu army a drink.

Now, the rebel leader has been killed and the group is leaderless.

It is in disarray and there is no organized resistance at all.

Immediately, the cry of disarming without killing spread throughout the camp.

Immediately, many rebels dropped their weapons.

In fact, they had wanted to surrender for a long time, but after surrendering, don’t be wronged and look at your head and ask for credit.

The officers and soldiers did this.

Much more.

Under the surveillance of the Polu Army, the rebels put down their weapons and armor one after another.

Some people rushed out of the camp and fled.

Unfortunately, they were not as fast as the Polu Army's cavalry and were killed one by one in the field.

Li Hui led his soldiers and now they are just like a gangster, collecting soldiers' armor and money.

This is what the entire Liu Fuguiqian Corps does.

This job is very simple.

When you arrive at a group of surrendered soldiers, load the piled armor onto a carriage to remove their weapons.

The matter is not over yet, the surrendered soldiers have to be checked one by one to see if they have short swords and silver coins hidden in them.

Some of the unwilling and extremely greedy ones are either hiding short swords or silver coins.

Therefore, they all have to be searched one by one.

This job is both tedious and full of dangers.

Maybe one of the surrendered soldiers is afraid of having their weapons found, and may attack and injure someone first.

Therefore, we must not let it go.

Li Hui was dumbfounded as he watched the carriage filled with silver taels gradually fill up.

Almost every rebel had more than ten taels of silver in his possession, all to rob the common people.

They went all the way south from Nanjing Ji and passed through Shandong and northern Denglai.

They captured more than ten county towns and three or four large cities.

Even Dengzhou was captured.

Looting was inevitable everywhere they went.

It can be said that millions of people's family assets Empty for it.

Li Hui led the hundred troops and was busy until the end of the day.

He didn't even eat lunch.

He surrendered too many troops, nearly 40,000.

Even Liu Fugui's troops were divided into ten groups, and each group had to check thousands of surrendered troops.

What he was busy with was Hands and feet in the air.

When Li Hui saw the soldiers watching and resting on the side, he was really envious and jealous.

Preparing troops means preparing troops.

He was not the only one who was envious.

When Liu Fugui saw Wu Han riding a tall horse, he was also envious and jealous.

Wu Han was riding a tall maroon Shidao horse.

Looking at the much shorter black Mongolian horse he was sitting on, Old Liu's face looked a little dark.

Of course, it didn't stop them from greeting each other with arms.

Ji Gang also stepped forward to salute the old officer.

Now he is Wu Han's chief of guard and is right next to Wu Han.

The order for the soldiers to rest and recuperate was issued by Zhao Lie.

He believed that many rebels still ran out of the camp.

There were too many rebels here.

It is conceivable that Kong Youde reacted when he knew that his retreat was cut off.

He must have given up harassing the officers and soldiers, drove eastward to Huang County, and recaptured the road leading to the Dengzhou base camp.

Whether fighting or fleeing, Dengzhou Water City and Shui The divisions are the final foundation, and Kong Youde must break through Huang County and reach Dengzhou.

The cavalry of 2,000 people and the cavalry of 3,000 people, plus the nearly 6,000 cavalry that stayed at night and guarded them, were Zhao Lie's main force in dealing with Kong Youde.

Of course, they had to be well prepared.

After all, the two days of marching were quite tiring.

At the time of application, the governor reported the harvest to Zhao Lie.

In this battle in Huang County, the Polu Army suffered surprisingly few battle losses.

Of course, the main reason was that they infiltrated into Zhang Wenhuan's army.

Only a few thousand of the 50,000 rebels were up, and the rest were still sleeping.

Therefore, the Polu Army only had There were more than 300 casualties, of which less than 100 were killed.

The harvest was surprisingly large.

More than 4,000 rebels were killed and more than 42,000 were captured.

The rest fled.

The military camp was too vast and it was extremely unrealistic to surround them all.

In addition, 28,000 spears, more than 37,000 waist knives, more than 5,400 infantry bows, more than 850 cavalry bows, more than 700 iron shields, more than 1,800 iron armors, and 4,600 leather armors were seized.

More than a hundred, more than 8,000 cotton armors.

There were more than 14,000 taels of gold, more than 784,000 taels of silver, and thousands of pieces of gold and silver jewelry, which amounted to over one million taels of silver.

This alone is a huge gain.

Zhao Lie and other senior officials of the Polu Army were beaming.

Most of the resettlement costs for the victims had been covered.

The soldiers of the Polu Army were very happy. 20% of the place belonged to them, and each person could gain more than ten taels of silver.

This It's such a huge windfall, of course it's worth being happy about
