Thundered......

From the beginning of the war, the bombardment of Tian Jianxiu's army by the White Dragon Army artillery battalion never stopped, and the iron projectiles that fell one by one completely disrupted the formation of the chaotic army.

Tian Jianxiu has never been able to straighten out his subordinates, and even several times Tian Jianxiu was almost hit by a ricochet, if it wasn't for his several guards to protect him with their lives, he would have died.

At this time, Tian Jianxiu realized that the officers and soldiers he encountered this time were probably not ordinary officers and soldiers.

He had never seen such an officer and army armed with so many artillery.

And then, he saw a scene that shocked him, the more than 2,000 elites he sent were beaten down alive by the opponent's bird guns when they were halfway through.

"Lee? Which one is it? ”

Tian Jianxiu looked at Jin Lao Liu, who fled in embarrassment, and then looked at the big flag with the word 'Li' fluttering on the top of Baixi Slope, and suddenly he thought of something.

"If it's really that Li Zixiao's Xuzhou army, this time we are in big trouble and order the withdrawal of the army."

Of course, Tian Jianxiu has heard of Li Zixiao's name, but in order to set an example for Li Zixiao last year, Chongzhen personally issued an order to report Li Zixiao's achievements in annihilating thousands of Tartars to various state capitals.

Although Li Zicheng has been hiding in Shangluo Mountain, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the situation outside, otherwise how could he know that Zhang Xianzhong rebelled again at the first time, and echoed the situation.

In half a year, Li Zixiao's name was also known to many people, and because Li Zixiao was transferred to Xuzhou, his men were called the 'Xuzhou Army'.

Li Zixiao on the hillside, seeing that the rebel army in the distance was showing signs of retreat, immediately said to Quartz: "Stone, beat the drum, and attack in an all-round way."

Give Qi Wei and Luo signal flares, it's time to close the net, Tian Jianxiu is ready to slip away. ”

After Li Zixiao finished speaking, Quartz immediately asked his guards to beat the drum, and at the same time took out the signal gun himself, and a red signal flare was released.

Knock knock knock......

The dull drum sounded, and the big drum behind Li Zixiao would not sound casually, but once it sounded, it meant that the whole line was going to attack.

"Old General Xu, it's the order of the great general, let's attack in an all-round way."

A team will stand beside Xu Wei and say.

"Well, the old man heard it, and it seems that the general also saw that the thieves were about to escape, so he ordered the whole army to attack, and the two teams of the 'Iron and Blood Battalion' were divided into left and right roundabouts, and the musket battalion pursued them head-on."

"Fight back, kill!"

Soon, all the White Dragon soldiers on the hillside, under the leadership of their respective commanders, rushed out of the trenches and pursued the chaotic army that had just fled.

"Withdraw, withdraw."

At this time, Tian Jianxiu was facing a group of elite subordinates and shouted loudly, as for the other recruits, he didn't bother to care.

Tian Jianxiu is worthy of following Li Zicheng's rebellious army, and the rule of their rogue warfare at this time is to fight if they can fight, and withdraw if they can't fight, and find a place to make a comeback.

Moreover, when the army was defeated and retreated, the soldiers were completely in a mess, and they would only call the most elite group of veteran bandits and escort them out.

The musket battalions that rushed out were grouped in groups of more than 100 musketeers per banner, who often lined up in three columns, and approached the enemy step by step with neat steps.

"It's all in the first row, and the guns are flat! Aim, put! "In each column, there will be a chief who is responsible for shouting the password.

After hearing the order, the musketeers in this column 'hula', then flattened the muskets together, and pointed the muzzle of the black hole straight at the chaotic crowd in front.

Everyone put the trapezoidal butt of the musket tightly on their shoulders, their gills attached to the butt, and aimed the door and the crosshair forward.

The design of the butt makes the musketeer's aiming much more accurate and stable, and each musketeer can aim at a target very steadily.

As the commander of each column gave the order, they opened fire together.

I only heard a burst of 'bang-bang' gunshots, which rang out almost instantly, giving people the illusion that it was only one shot, but a row of gunpowder smoke erupted in front of the battle.

Suddenly, dozens of steps away in front, more than a dozen rebels who had left their backs to them and were running away screamed miserably and fell directly to the ground, with a thumb-sized bloody hole in their backs.

Some unlucky eggs were hit by two or three projectiles almost at the same time, and the round lead bullets could not penetrate their bodies completely at all.

However, this lead bullet penetrates the human body, and all the energy it carries is transferred to them, even if they are wearing armor, it cannot prevent the projectile from penetrating.

"The second row has it, the guns are flat! Aim, put! ”

As soon as the musketeers in the first row had finished firing, they would step back and replace them with the musketeers in the second row, and the commander of the second row immediately shouted and ordered.

And every musketeer who has fired a gun, no one has checked the effectiveness of their shooting, and they must immediately start changing teams.

Because the White Dragon Army had strict rules, musketeers were not allowed to check the effectiveness of their shots after firing, and they had to immediately start withdrawing and reloading.

The reason is very simple, after the black powder is burned, a large amount of gunpowder smoke will be spewed, and after the musketeer fires, the front will be filled with gunsmoke, and it is impossible to see what is in front of him at all.

Rather than wasting time waiting for the smoke to clear, it was better to use this time to reload quickly, so the musketeers all strictly followed this military rule.

As soon as the gunfire fell, he immediately retreated, and completed the position change with his teammates behind him, and began to reload ammunition and clear the chamber.

The musketeers in the second row also lowered the flint guns they were carrying on their shoulders, and another cloud of gunpowder smoke rose up, and dozens of projectiles flew out of the muzzles again.

In this way, the three rows of musketeers take turns to shoot in different positions, and they also march in a neat pace, which is the favorite method of the White Dragon Army musketeers when chasing the enemy - the platoon gun shoots, three shots.

The White Dragon Army's musketeers pursued along the way, after being baptized by the musketeers, had already become like hell, with corpses everywhere.

Among the thousands of chaotic troops who fled, not all of them successfully escaped, and those who survived were baptized by such a dense rain of bullets, and the hundreds of people who ran slowly all fell in pools of blood.

The damage caused by being hit by a flint projectile is far more difficult to treat than an ordinary arrow wound or even a knife wound.

If the rebel is hit by a projectile**, there will be some foreign objects on his clothes that will be brought into the wound, which will bring bacteria into the wound and cause infection.

In addition, this kind of wound is an open laceration, and it can even cause bone fragmentation, and the backward medical methods in the late Ming Dynasty are difficult to treat this kind of gunshot wound.

Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people who are shot to survive, even if they are only shot in the arm and leg, the outcome is often the same.

Not to mention, once these rebels are injured, no one will care about them at all, and Tian Jianxiu will not ask for a doctor for them.

Therefore, once these rebels are shot, whether it is their limbs or torso, they will basically die in the end, just the difference between fast death and slow death.

A large number of rebels were a little frightened at this time, and they desperately wanted to flee here, which further aggravated the chaos here, and you could see the rebels scurrying everywhere.

As for going back and fighting back, no one can do it at this time.

I have to say that these chaotic troops are in chaos at this time, everywhere, and they are all running away, making it difficult for Li Zixiao to see the specific location of Tian Jianxiu.

Helpless, Tian Jianxiu was not a fool, and he didn't dare to ride on a horse at this time, so he dismounted decisively, mixed in the chaos, and was escorted to escape.

In the end, the White Dragon Army began, and the movement of captives was captured all over the mountains.

"Put down your arms and don't kill!"

The white dragon sergeant shouted loudly, if you obediently hold your head and surrender, it's fine, if you dare to resist, you can directly shoot down, there is no need for mercy on the battlefield at this time.

At the foot of the slope of Baixi, two rivers that flow quietly have long been stained red with blood at this time.

"General, the Tian thieves have just fled from the southwest with more than 2,000 bandits, and a team of the 'Iron Blood Battalion' failed to stop them.

However, General Li Tianba was still chasing after him with his 'Tiger Battalion', while Qi Wei and General Luo were leading their cavalry, active on the periphery, and might be able to stop the field thieves. ”

Soon, a scout ran to Li Zixiao to report on the battle situation on the front line.

"Well, send an order to Li Tianba, Qi Wei and Luo, capture the field thief alive as much as possible, even if you can't catch him in the end, you must scare and scare him, and next time you want him to hear us, you will be terrified."

The scouts departed and delivered orders.

"It's not challenging to end the battle like this!"

Li Zixiao stood on the hillside, looked at the chaotic scene below, shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Run, run!"

On the other side, Tian Jianxiu escaped under the cover of more than 2,000 veteran bandits, but was targeted by Qi Wei and his team.

followed and chased all the way, so frightened that Tian Jianxiu's shawl was scattered, embarrassed, and desperately escaped.

In the end, this guy rushed into the mountains and forests to the south with a group of remnants, so that Qi Wei could not continue the pursuit, and he escaped with his life.

This battle was won too easily, and after seeing the battle report after the war, Li Zixiao smiled even more.

In this battle, they killed and wounded more than 1,200 rebels, but in fact, more than 700 people died, more than 13,000 people were captured, and the remaining nearly 20,000 people all fled.

On the side of the White Dragon Army, only seven soldiers were injured, which was an almost negligible price.

Of course, they also consumed thousands of projectiles, lost two flint guns, as well as more than a dozen pairs of armor, and injured three war horses, at such a price, Li Zixiao didn't bother to look at it in the end.

After the war, the soldiers of the White Dragon Army took the prisoners of the rebellious army all over the mountains and fields, and placed them together, and even the White Dragon Army captured nearly 20,000 stone of grain brought by Tian Jianxiu.

This guy was looted by Yiyang for so long, and in the end, he was all cheaper than Li Zixiao.

When the governor of Ruzhou brought people over, after watching this scene, he was also shocked for a long time and didn't say anything.

"Xu Taixin, the governor of Ruzhou, Xiaguan, meet Master Li." After Xu Taixin came over, he saluted Li Zixiao.

"Xu Zhizhou, you're here. But you're a step too late, the rebels have just been defeated by us, and you've missed a good show. Li Zixiao turned his face to look at Xu Taixin and said coldly.

"That, Lord Li is really like a god with soldiers, and his warriors are like clouds, defeating the chaotic army in a battle, but it's a pity, when the official goes back, he will definitely report the general's good news to the imperial court."

Xu Taixin was very respectful to Li Zixiao, for fear that Li Zixiao would hold a grudge against him because of his previous refusal to let the White Dragon Army enter the city.

"General, what are you going to do next?" Xu Taixin continued to ask.

"Now that the main force of the field thieves has been defeated, at this time, of course, we are taking advantage of the victory to pursue and subdue Yiyang." Li Zixiao said casually.

"The order went down, and the 'Iron Blood Battalion' left behind to guard the prisoners, and asked Qi Wei and Luo to immediately lead the cavalry to Yiyang to subdue the county town that had fallen into chaos."

Li Zixiao gave an order.

After hurriedly planning to cross the battlefield and burning the corpses of those rebels who died in battle, Li Zixiao commanded the White Dragon Army and rushed to Yiyang with tens of thousands of prisoners.

And when Li Zixiao and the others had not yet arrived in Yiyang, Luo and Qi Wei sent someone to inform him.

Yiyang has been taken, the ambush of the rebel army in the city, the escape of the escape, and Yiyang has been recovered.

"Haha, okay, this is also the first county town that we have recaptured from the bandits on our westward expedition, let's go into the city to rest."

Li Zixiao laughed, was in a good mood, and said.

"However, general, at this time, there is chaos in Yiyang City, not only are there remnants of the chaotic army everywhere, but there are also some ruffians and gangsters, so the general should enter the city later."

When Li Zixiao heard this, his face immediately turned cold, and he shouted: "Li Tianba listened to the order, took your subordinates, and immediately entered the city to assist Qi Wei and them in clearing the chaos."

Whoever resists the rebels who do not obey, kill! Those who disturb people's livelihood and riots, kill! Indiscriminate killing of innocents, kill! Stabilize the situation in the city as quickly as possible.

Remember, pay attention to protecting the safety of ordinary people and strictly enforce military discipline. ”

"Yes." The herald received the order and immediately rode back to Yiyang City.

"Xu Zhizhou, this official has something to discuss with Lord Xu." Li Zixiao looked at Xu Taixin and spoke.

"If you have something to do, speak as soon as possible, and the lower officials will do their best." Mrs. Xu replied.

"Trouble Lord Xu now, go back to Ruzhou to raise a batch of grain, and transport it to Yiyang to help the poor people in the city.

Yiyang has just been scraped three feet by field thieves, and there is a shortage of food, so if you want to restore order in Yiyang as soon as possible and stabilize the situation in Yiyang, you must need a lot of food. ”

Li Zixiao said in a deep voice, he is not a chaotic army, he can leave after fighting, leave after eating, and fight in a rogue, at this time he still needs to come out of the mess left by the chaotic army.

However, when Xu Taixin listened to Li Zixiao's words, he stood up and said, "But my lord, there is not much food in Ruzhou City at this time. ”

"Is there no food? Still don't want to take out the food? ”

Li Zixiao's face was not good, and he said in a cold voice, his eyes staring at Xu Taixin.

"How dare Xia Guan, I really have no food in my hands, I refused to defend Ruzhou City before, but I still bought a batch of grain from a group of grain merchants in the city at a high price. 、

It's a pity that the government doesn't have any money, so I have to use the iron ore mining rights in the south of the city to make transactions with the grain merchants in the city, otherwise we won't be able to guard the adults to come to support! ”

Xu Taixin said sincerely with a bitter face.
