Daming pirates

The rebels on the South Road were on the defensive, not attacking, waiting for the Fujian army to come forward. However, the remnants of the defeated Sichuan army were following the Fujian army and were not used as cannon fodder by Yu Xiaotian.

The morale of these Sichuan soldiers is very low, and the quality of their equipment is also very poor. Even if they get some supplements from him, it is only enough to equip each of them with a weapon. After a defeat, these Sichuan soldiers are now

He is almost like a beggar, making people feel pitiful just looking at him.

Yu Xiaotian is not a hard-hearted person. This group of people left their hometowns and came here from Sichuan, thousands of miles away, to work for the court. The officials deceived them at every turn, deducted their food and wages, and left them with no food or clothing. No matter whether they were

They were not soldiers and ruffians, but Yu Xiaotian wanted to treat them as human beings and force them to die, which Yu Xiaotian didn't even bother to do.

So after he returned to the camp last night, he met Deputy General Wang Hong, who was waiting for him in the camp with a fawning look. Wang Hong repeatedly said good things and even gave him a gift. He knew very well what Wang Hong wanted.

So he promised Wang Hong that he would not treat the remaining defeated generals under his command as expendables and throw them into the battlefield as cannon fodder. However, he also asked Wang Hong to restrain his subordinates, strictly enforce military discipline, and not act recklessly on the battlefield. As long as his Fujian army did not collapse,

The Sichuan soldiers led by Wang Hong were not allowed to flee before the battle, otherwise he would not be able to protect Wang Hong and the others.

After Wang Hong heard this, it could be said that he was very grateful to Xiaotian, and repeatedly promised that he was willing to use Yu Xiaotian's soldiers and horses as auxiliary soldiers. Whenever he had to do some hard work, he just gave orders, and he would definitely order his soldiers to serve as auxiliary soldiers for Yu Xiaotian.

The family army is ready to help, and as long as Yu Xiaotian does not treat them as cannon fodder and send them to death on the battlefield, he promises to restrain his men and never act randomly.

In fact, when Yu Xiaotian did this, he did not just sympathize with these Sichuan soldiers. The key is that these Sichuan soldiers, even if they were thrown into the battlefield as cannon fodder by him, would not have much effect. On the contrary, they would probably collapse on the battlefield, affecting his soldiers and generals.

The morale of the Sichuan troops was greatly reduced, and even the defeated Sichuan troops might attack his main formation.

Therefore, instead of using them as cannon fodder, it is better to bribe them and follow him as auxiliary soldiers for a period of time. As long as he shows some favors, these Sichuan soldiers will become his die-hard loyalists for a period of time in the future, which can make up for him to a certain extent.

The shortcomings of its own military strength.

Therefore, after the Sichuan troops led by Wang Hong went into battle this time, they lined up behind the left wing of the Yu family army, basically just watching the battle.

Everyone in the Sichuan soldiers was also grateful to Xiaotian for treating them like this. After forming the formation, their morale was boosted a bit. At least they didn't look as listless as the previous days.

The rebels did not move, and Yu Xiaotian was not in a hurry to move. The two armies formed a confrontation on the battlefield, making the battlefield on the South Road seem quiet.

But on the west side of the road, the rebels, Shandong soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers soon fought together. The rebels rushed towards the official army formation like a tide. In the official army formation, muskets and arrows were immediately fired, shooting at

He took his position and started fighting with the rebels.

Today, Zhu Dadian led his troops to watch the battle in the Chinese army camp. Yu Xiaotian also gave Zhu Dadian a low-magnification monocular telescope as a gift. Zhu Dadian liked it very much, so Zhu Dadian went up to the high platform to personally observe the situation on the battlefield.

Therefore, generals such as Wu Anbang and Gao Guozhu did not dare to refuse to fight in fear of the enemy, so they could only bite the bullet and lead their troops to fight fiercely with the rebels.

Both sides tried their best, going back and forth, attacking each other. At first, the officers and soldiers were able to block the water and cover the ground with their troops. However, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the morale of the officers and soldiers began to become low, but it was the rebels.

The more they fought, the more courageous they became. They gradually began to take the initiative on the battlefield and began to attack the official and army formations in waves.

After the officers and soldiers persisted for a while, they gradually began to be forced back by the rebels. Although Wu Anbang, Gao Guozhu and others also tried their best to suppress their subordinates and prevent them from retreating. They had to withstand the rebel attacks, but these soldiers

The general was very incompetent, and as the war progressed, he became more and more frightened, and deserters began to appear.

So the generals had no choice but to kill some deserters in a row, and then they stabilized the front to some extent and started a stalemate with the rebels again. Both sides suffered heavy losses in this fierce battle, but the rebels still refused to relax their attack.

Soldiers and generals were sent out continuously and attacks continued one after another.

When the two sides fought until noon, the government and army began to show their strength, and the front line was in chaos again. The rebels saw the opportunity and sent an elite cavalry into the battlefield, tearing apart the Shandong soldiers.

The formation, in turn, cut off the connection between the Shandong Army and the Zhejiang Army, and a large number of rebels began to besiege the Shandong Army.

At this time, the Shandong soldiers under Wu Anbang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the array began to collapse. Zhu Dadian could see it clearly from the high platform.

They were still in a confrontation with the rebels. Although the two sides also engaged in some fighting, the fighting was not fierce. It can be said that the rebels often retreated at the first touch and did not dare to fight to the death with Yu Xiaotian's Fujian soldiers.

Now Xiong Wencan was anxious, knowing that if the Fujian soldiers did not make any big moves, the Shandong soldiers might not be able to hold on. Once the Shandong soldiers and horses were defeated, the Zhejiang soldiers would definitely be defeated as well.

, the trouble is big.

So Zhu Dadian anxiously sent people to find Yu Xiaotian, and ordered Yu Xiaotian to step up the attack. He first won a victory on the south road, contained the rebels' siege on the Shandong soldiers and horses, and supported the Shandong soldiers and horses.

Wu Anbang also sent people repeatedly to ask for help from Zhu Dadian, asking Zhu Dadian to quickly mobilize his troops, flank the rebels, and rescue his troops. Otherwise, he would really be unable to hold on.

When Yu Xiaotian saw this, he ordered the entire army to start advancing, and ordered the Sichuan soldiers under Wang Hong to follow closely and kill the rebels on the opposite side.

As the war drums sounded, several trumpet blasts were heard from the Yu Jiajun formation, and then the horn horns were blown by the trumpeters. A line of Yu Jiajun soldiers began to advance like a wall. Each column

The queues kept a certain distance between each other and attacked towards the rebel formation.

The artillery formation on the right wing of the formation also began to fire at this time. The artillery shells flew across the battlefield whistlingly and hit the front of the rebel formation. The artillery shells bounced off the ground and immediately rushed into the enemy's formation. In the enemy's formation,

, creating bloody alleys.

The rebels also fired back with artillery, but their artillery level was limited and their artillery range was limited. The shells fell in the middle of the battlefield and did not cause much damage to the Yu family's army.

The faces of these Yu Jiajun soldiers were dull and expressionless. They silently stepped on the drums or whistles one by one, maintaining a strict battle formation without any distractions. Occasionally, a cannonball fell into their formation.

During the process, the lives of several soldiers were harvested, but their formation was not caused the slightest disturbance.

Everyone quietly held their weapons and moved forward steadily step by step. The gap created by the shells would be closed again immediately. No one made a sound of surprise, and they could only hear their feet landing.

, making a neat roaring sound, like an urging drum, hitting the hearts of the rebel soldiers heavily.

As for the wounded or killed soldiers, there were people responsible for rescuing them. The bodies were quickly carried down for sorting and burial, and the wounded soldiers were immediately sent to the back for hemostasis and treatment. Everything seemed to be in an orderly manner.

Zhu Dadian was not from the army and did not know much about military formations, but he could also see that the military formations formed by Yu Xiaotian's generals were thick and stable, without any chaos on the battlefield, exuding a kind of

A heart-stopping sense of coercion.

It's just that their military formation looks strange and too simple. They form square formations that don't interfere with each other and cooperate with each other. It's a bit like a fish scale formation of the Ming army, but it has

Big difference.

Zhu Dadian could not see the benefits of the phalanx used by Yu Xiaotian, but he felt that the soldiers like Yu Xiaotian were not simple. This kind of calmness was the only thing he had seen in his life. The silent march made them

It looks as stable as Mount Tai.

This reminded Zhu Dadian of a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War: It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as motionless as a mountain. Just when the Yu family army changed from formation to offensive formation, this kind of momentum captured the imagination.

The heart-stirring experience opened Zhu Dadian's horizons once again.

When the rebels saw the Fujian soldiers starting to march towards them, they did not act like the rebels on the other side. There was a slight commotion in the formation. It took a while before they stabilized again, and they were all in a hurry.

The foot soldiers quickly put up their oars and shields in front of the formation, and the gunmen and archers were moved to the front of the formation, taking a defensive stance.

Some rebel artillery was also pushed out of the formation and set up in front of the formation, preparing to use the artillery to block the Yu's army's attack.

However, the range of these rebel cannons is limited, and most of the cannons brought to the front of the formation are small cannons, mostly old cannons such as squatting tiger cannons and bowl-mouth blunderbuss. These cannons have a direct range of only a few dozen steps and are quite powerful at close range.

, but it cannot deal with long-distance targets.

Even if the artillery shells were barely hit in front of the Fujian military formation, the artillery shells would basically lose their kinetic energy and would not be able to achieve the ricochet killing effect.

But the Yu Jiajun didn't even give them such a chance. They stopped advancing two hundred steps away. Rows of musketeers holding Wolf fang rifles began to raise their Wolf fang rifles. They heard a shocking sound.

The soul-stirring volley of gunshots rang out, and the rebel artillerymen who were busy manning the artillery in front of the rebel formation immediately fell down one after another and let out a scream.

After just three rounds of volleys, the rebel gunners who were transferred to the front of the formation were completely lost. They were shot to death next to their gun barrels. The only remaining rebel gunners who were lucky enough to survive were all terrified.

They fled back to their formation. A dozen small cannons were just thrown in front of the formation, and they didn't even dare to snatch them back.
