Chapter 116 Beheading
When the troops reached 200 steps, the bandits became more and more chaotic. The cannon trucks followed suit and bombed them. The bandits fell in pieces like they were harvesting wheat, and there were signs of retreating.
Some old, weak, sick and disabled people don’t even have the ability to fight back, they just retreated, crowded and retreated continuously.
Although the guns and cannons are powerful, Li Yan's bandits are too bad, and the firearms are of varying quality, and they have no desire to fight. How can they resist Ying Yi's soldiers?
The more chaotic the enemy, the more relaxed Ying Yi was. In a moment, the army entered within eighty steps.
The artillery array stopped bombarding and the army entered the charge stage.
Under the command of the generals of various battalions, the spearmen took dull steps and accelerated their progress.
"Press the gun in front of you!"
"Go forward, move forward!"
"Note, be careful, the brave are not allowed to come forward, and the timid are not allowed to come back!"
"God of formation, kill, kill, kill!"
Fifty steps passed by, Li Yan had been urging the battle at the top of the hill. Behind Ying Yi's spearmen, the bustling rain of arrows fell, screams rang out, and the waiting army collided with a loud bang, and people suddenly fell over.
The two generals, each battalion, were first in front, and spears were stabbed, and the bandits fell in large numbers at the foot of the army. Ying Yi's army became more and more powerful and was unstoppable!
On the hill, Li Yan's face was pale. The Hongniang came to report anxiously: "The soldiers have been selected."
Li Yan took a long breath: "Follow me!"
He then turned over and didn't say anything, but shot down the hill and rushed to the formation.
Ying Yi sat upright on Diaoyutai, very steadily. Seeing someone on the hill killing against the trend, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The mantis arm is in a car." But he didn't care.
I saw Li Yan and his men rushed down. Zhu Bingkun had already seen clearly, so he hurriedly commanded the spearmen to form a formation. Li Yan led hundreds of people down the hill, and only broke into about ten steps, and was bravely blocked by Zhu Bingkun's spearmen.
Zhu Bingkun took advantage of the situation to siege the hundreds of people and fought.
Ying Yi laughed: "Go around!"
The 2,500 people who had not moved in this unit immediately obeyed the order to fight, and together with Zhu Bingkun's troops, trapped the rushing bandits and were trapped in a mess.
"Defeated! Defeated!"
Seeing that Li Yan was trapped, the bandits could no longer hold on and were defeated.
"Escape!"
As anxious as a dog, the wolf ran and the porpoise rushed.
"The horse team is surrounded and the archer camp cooperates!" Ying Yi sent an order: "Kill all those who escape!"
The spontaneous artillery has come to this point in just a moment, and a battle involving more than 15,000 people on both sides was settled.
I saw the defeated soldiers everywhere fleeing hysterically. There were horses and archers chased them. They killed or captured them until an hour later.
Ying Yi never took action once, but only felt the mysterious aura emitted by the big flag raised by his hand, and felt the gradually increasing number of true spirits and human energy, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Master!"
Zhu Bingkun pushed two embarrassed men, one man and one woman, to Ying Yi: "The last general has captured the thief's head!"
He was covered in blood, but he was very excited.
Ying Yi waved his hand: "Raise your head."
Both of them looked up and looked at each other with glaring.
Ying Yi smiled and said, "I didn't expect there would be a female thief. Tell me, what are your identities?"
The Hongniang cursed angrily, and Li Yan was silent.
Zhu Bingkun threw the whip over, whipping the scolding Hongniang to the ground, and said, "Lord, you have found out the identities of these two people."
"oh?"
"This thief's head is called Li Yan, and the female thief is called Hongniang." Zhu Bingkun said: "All thiefs with names and surnames."
"Mr. Matchmaker?"
Ying Yi was stunned and couldn't help but look at the female thief more. Although the woman's face was covered in blood, a hint of heroic spirit could not be hidden between her eyebrows.
"It turned out to be the Matchmaker."
Ying Yi had a vague impression in his memory.
I knew it was a female thief in the late Ming Dynasty and was quite chivalrous. But that was probably the case, and I didn’t know much.
As for Li Yan, Ying Yi seemed to have heard of it, but he had no impression.
At this time, the Hongmao scolded angrily: "Dog official, you have to kill and shave faster, I can't wait!"
Ying Yi laughed and waved his hand: "Since I'm asking for a quick death, then drag it down and kill it."
Without saying a word, Zhu Bingkun dragged the two of them aside and cut off two heads.
"It's useful to install the head level." Ying Yi said: "Quickly count the casualties, clean the battlefield, and return to Xiangcheng early."
Zhu Bingkun beat his chest and left.
Half an hour later, Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu all came to the front.
Report: "There are more than 5,500 people beheaded and more than 2,400 people were captured. Less than 100 fleeing people were killed. Our army suffered more than 120 people and more than 500 injured. Fran machine cannons and tiger squat cannons were seized, and only four were available. All kinds of swords, guns, muskets, armor, weapons, and food were ignored."
Ying Yi heard this: "It was beheaded at level 5,500? Haha..."
He laughed.
Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu looked at each other without saying a word.
Because of his military merits, his soldiers were very eager to kill, and even some of the people who knelt down and begged for mercy were killed and killed. Otherwise, more captured than killed. But now the captured heads are twice as many as captured.
But Ying Yi didn't care.
Kill it and kill it. It is not good if there are too many prisoners - he is short of food now, and he can't afford to catch any more.
"Constrain and bury the body. Nowadays, the few people on the list must count their military merits and must not be neglected." Ying Yi ordered: "Let's set off later to return to the army."
"Here!"
In general, this battle can only be considered a small test. The bandits were not taken seriously by Ying Yi, not to mention that they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. They were defeated as soon as they rushed, and there was nothing to be praised for when they won.
The reason for this is that after Ying Yi returned to Xiangcheng, he also trained in the army.
I just think that if you can achieve such a result when facing the enemy Tartars, you will be proud. Now that the situation is just beginning, you should be cautious and impetuous and take every step forward.
Ying Yi sat in the head of the camp in the city. Two generals, each camp was there.
Ying Yi said: "I will win in one battle today, can I have something to say?"
Zheng Wu beat his chest and said, "Lord, the bandits are just like this, they are all people who will be defeated after a single rush. It is better to take advantage of the victory and break the siege of Kaifeng."
As soon as this said, it won the approval of many people.
Ying Yi smiled and waved his hand: "It's not the time."
He said seriously: "Although I don't take the thief seriously, the thief has hundreds of thousands of vassals after all, a hundred times more than me. Although I win today, I am lucky. There are no more thief soldiers than me, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, which is nothing. Besides, the appointment of the court has not yet come down, so I cannot take the initiative."
Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu both understood what Ying Yi meant.
"But according to the lord's order."
"Li Yan, Hongniangzi's entire army was wiped out, and the thieves must have reacted. I will be here, training hard while waiting for him to fight." Ying Yi said: "If the thieves want to siege Kaifeng, they will definitely not fight with me. If only a few thousand or tens of thousands, it will only add fuel, and it will be a whetstone for the soldiers."
All the generals knew it and realized it now.
"Everyone retreat, go down and train for a long time. Some prisoners will be used to clean up Xiangcheng County and repair the city walls. Zhang Shi, you send someone back to Yuzhou to inform Zhengxian Zun of Dasheng, and urge Sun Xiucai to send food and grass earlier."
"Here."
When the generals left, only Ying Yi was left in the tent.
