A regiment of 1,600 people, half a regiment of 800 people, to deal with the salt lord's squad of 3,000 private soldiers, Sichuan people feel that the forbidden army is too big. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Even if it is under the command of the Duke of Liao, it is also risky to do so, General Sun is young and vigorous, if he suffers a setback, it will not be conducive to the future expedition!"
Li Hualong said this directly to the staff, and the staff also understood it very well, and immediately found someone to pass the word to Sun Xin.
"If there are 3,000 rebellious soldiers, General Sun's 800 people can fight at will, but this salt lord is a thief who sits on the ground, and most of the 3,000 thieves are relatives, and it is very ......difficult to bite."
If you study these words carefully, you can't laugh or cry, if you have 3,000 officers and soldiers, you can fight casually, but these three thieves have to be considered, because the combat effectiveness is not bad, in fact, this is also the truth, the local officers and soldiers are all straw bales, and they are indeed not beaten, but the private soldiers of this salt lord are different.
Can transport the salt of Zigong to Banzhou to sell profits, such a salt lord is also a monstrous power, it is impossible for the characters of the green forest underworld to do this, this salt lord is a local tycoon, and there are two famous children in the family, and the relationship between the officials is also extremely hard, and it is said that the greeting can be hit to the level of the governor.
However, the sin of the Banzhou Rebellion was too great, and after Sichuan Jinyiwei found out about this matter, the strong men up and down quickly broke their wrists and cleared up the relationship.
The reason why there are so many private soldiers is because the salt is transported to the native villages in the mountains, maybe someone will come to rob, and there are many dangers.
Sun Xin didn't pay attention to other people's persuasion at all, and the young and old Zhao Gonggong actually didn't listen, everyone sighed, and they all mobilized soldiers and horses.
If you have to fight 800 or 3,000, can't you just appease such a salt lord private soldier? No matter how bad it is, the Sichuan general army pulled 10,000 people over, why can't they eat.
The battle went very quickly and very simply, the 800 forbidden army 300 fire milling, shot two rounds, and swept away the opponent's man with bows and arrows, and then the forbidden army formed a small square team and rushed into the opponent's formation, straight through the opponent's team, and then penetrated back and forth twice.
The salt owl's private soldiers couldn't maintain it at all, and they collapsed all of a sudden, and the end of the battle was dumbfounded, but looking at the forbidden army up and down as a matter of course, the cadres who came to watch the battle knew that the forbidden army had already been prepared.
He knew how rotten the officers and soldiers in Sichuan were, and he also thought that if the government wanted to deal with the Yang family, he might have to contribute to his own people, but he never expected that the forbidden army would come so quickly and its combat effectiveness would be so strong, so he had to surrender and ask for the lives of women and children to be saved.
The forbidden army fought this salt lord for Liwei, and everyone understood this truth, but they didn't expect the forbidden army to be so successful and so neat.
Such a big salt lord was wiped out in an instant, and others dared to mess around, Li Hualong and the governor of Sichuan strictly ordered two years, and there were still people doing business with Banzhou, after this time, the order was forbidden, and everyone didn't dare to move.
Before the rebellion, the Banzhou Yang family had accumulated enough materials, which was also the reason why they were able to attract a large number of cottage scenery, but having enough materials did not mean that there was no need to import.
Everyone understands this truth, if there is no supplement of foreign materials, with the terrain of Banzhou, it is a dead end, and there are not many places to fight out now, and they are trapped and surrounded, and the end is to slowly consume clean materials, and then collapse and wait for death.
The Yang family also understands this truth, on the fifth day after the input of Xiyan was cut off, the Yang family gathered nearly 15,000 of their main forces and vassal soldiers and horses, and launched a fierce attack on Hejiang County, opening up this side, and it was a smooth road to Chengdu, and it was convenient to get any supplies to the richest area in Sichuan.
The 6,000 forbidden troops and 20,000 officers and soldiers of Sichuan stopped in front of them, and the officers and men of Sichuan were only prepared as baggage battalions, and the field battle still relied on the forbidden army.
This battle even made Sun Xin have no complacent thoughts, during the field battle, the artillery bombarded two rounds, the enemy's position was a little unstable, watching the enemy to rout, because the scattered enemy was too strong to annihilate, simply stopped the artillery, let the enemy rush up.
As a result, the fire milling shot was less than five rounds, and the enemy could no longer organize any effective attacks, so Sun Xin was quite helpless and ordered to charge.
The horse team will directly defeat the enemy's team, and the Yang family also has cavalry, but the Dian horse and the Sichuan horse are short, not to mention any impact, and the cavalry horses in the northwest are very tall, and the gap between the horses is so big, not to mention the difference between armor and weapons, the southwest cavalry is not so much a cavalry, it is better to make up the number, and the northwest cavalry is on horseback every day.
Banzhou's cavalry was directly defeated, and then driven back, and the cavalry of the Yang family, as the core force, rushed back and trampled on their own team, and the already panicked team completely collapsed.
This kind of situation is what the cavalry likes to see the most, chasing down the defeated soldiers, letting them trample on each other, killing themselves, can continue to expand the results of the battle, and the foot soldiers are the attempt to break the enemy's remnants and leave, without spending too much effort.
There is still no too vast plain in Sichuan, otherwise if the cavalry is really spread out and washed, the results of the battle can be even greater, and Sun Xin is not satisfied here.
However, he was not satisfied because he was not satisfied, Li Hualong and a cadre of officials in Sichuan and Guizhou were very happy, and while organizing the labor army, they found someone to write a song full of flowers and folds into Beijing to report the victory.
Now the civil and military forces in the Sichuan, Guizhou and Chu areas finally know how the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army is, and they always feel exaggerated when they hear it before, in the past, it was a great victory to behead and defeat the Tartars, and your Wang Tong is good, all of a sudden it is tens of thousands of first-level meritorious service, which is also too shameless, after the battle of Hejiang County, they realized that it was not exaggerated, and the forbidden army was able to easily kill thousands of enemy troops, and cut melons and other general defeats the other party.
The next thing is to march and pursue, in the end, the Banzhou Yang family has been in charge here for eight hundred years, and the outward probe fails, then the idea of Shoucheng is hit, the terrain here is so complicated, anyway, you can't get in, hold each other for a while, I will ask for guilt here, and then throw out a son and nephew who is closer to the guilt, and the matter may be over.
Compared with Wang Tong, who had no letters before the war and confirmed the victory, Wang Tong received a few more letters and said more.
It is mentioned that there must be no trouble, and more local soldiers and horses must help each other, and the meaning of not leaving a future trouble is that we must pursue the poor and let the local soldiers and horses help this, Wang Tong also gave an explanation, if you leave three points for speaking, Songjiang Mansion to Sichuan letters are so troublesome, and it will definitely delay things.
Local officers and soldiers to suppress thieves, it is better to say that they are also bandits, the border seems to be a wind, great damage to the local area, but what is wanted is this destruction, the court of Banzhou has sealed the Yang family for generations as a consolation envoy, in fact, his Yang family is the emperor of the soil here, those natives, those cottages, are only known that there is a Yang family does not know that there is a court, let the local officers and soldiers go over to "sort out", and then immigrate in, that is the court firmly grounded.
Sun Xin is a familiar hand in the marching army, and he has nothing to say about this matter, naturally Wang Tong is the mainstay, after Li Hualong saw it, although he felt a little awkward, the corruption of military discipline among officers and soldiers has actually become an advantage at this time, but it cannot be denied that Wang Tong's considerations are for the sake of the overall situation of the court, and he can't say anything.
For the local generals in Sichuan, although the forbidden army can fight, it is really good at being a man, knowing that this military merit is a way for everyone to share profits and make a fortune together, Banzhou is inferior to Chengdu there, but if you can let go of the big robbery, this oil and water is really a lot, and there are many opportunities to be happy.
The generals of the army are full of spirit, and they have ordered the top and bottom to first ensure the supply of food and food for the forbidden army, so that they can win the battle, and then we will be happy.
The real bitter battle was on the third day before entering the core area of Banzhou, the forbidden army camp was tightly coiled, and there were a large number of local officers and soldiers behind it, and even those local natives who did not deal with the Yang family came to help.
The opportunity is on the third day, it rained heavily on the march, Sichuan in June was already sweltering, such heavy rain is not unusual, but in the face of such heavy rain, no matter how good the drying of gunpowder is, it is difficult for artillery and arquebuses to fire, for the Yang family who has been waiting for the opportunity, this is a golden opportunity.
Banzhou is mountainous after all, the soldiers of the Yang family have to adapt to the mountains than others after all, and the same is true for fighting in rainy days, and more importantly, the forbidden army's half-tight pressing makes Banzhou have a sense of urgency and the determination to fight to the death.
In rainy days, firearms cannot be fired, but bows and arrows are still killed, and in rainy days, soldiers from the north are more likely to be unable to support and mentally panic.
The effect of this attack was not small, the officers and men of the brigade behind had already begun to retreat, the forbidden army was only lined up, and the more than 2,000 pacesetters in Ningxia and Shaanxi could only form a team, and there was no way to even line up.
Neither the artillery nor the fire mill fired, and there was indeed no way to do so, and the fire millers either picked up the wooden fork or drew their own sabers.
The pacesetters from Ningxia and Shaanxi were quickly killed and dispersed, and they were already uncomfortable with the heavy rain, not to mention fighting hard with each other in the muddy terrain.
Without firearms, the forbidden army still has discipline, armor, and knives and guns, Sun Xin himself is in front of the battle, wearing armor and holding spears, shouting orders, and even Zhao Jinliang is holding a short knife and leading the guards to press the formation in the formation.
The two regiments of the forbidden army stood still in the heavy rain and the repeated onslaught of the Banshu army, the non-commissioned officers with axes and guns and the fire locks with short weapons. The soldiers fought repeatedly with the rushing Banshu army.
In the heavy rain, the bow and arrow were not accurate, and what made the Banzhou army feel troublesome was that the opponent's protective gear was so sophisticated, and his own weapons often could not hurt the opponent, but the opponent's weapons were not ambiguous.
This situation did not last long, although it was not suitable to fight in the north in the rain and mud, but for these Banzhou troops, it was also extremely physically and mentally exhausting, and it was expected that these officers and soldiers would soon collapse, but they could not attack for a long time, and the casualties on their side were getting bigger and bigger, and the military spirit of the Banzhou army was floating.
The pacesetters from Ningxia and Shaanxi are the elite forces under the local governor and the general army, and they are also retained from the reform of the border towns, they are the capital of each family, they can fight a good war, and they were disrupted and retreated, but there is no loss of vitality, the two infantry regiments of the forbidden army have held on, they are also stable, but they are killed back, under the joint efforts of both sides, the Banzhou army can no longer support it, a tug-of-war in the rain for several hours, even the elite soldiers of the forbidden army feel tired, not to mention the demoralized Banzhou army.
It's just that the battle in the rain consumes an astonishing amount of physical strength, and it is impossible to retreat as smoothly as in Hejiang County, the rain becomes lighter before dark, and the fighting stops, and the forbidden army camps on the spot, and sends people to contact the Sichuan officers and soldiers who have retreated and left to return, and then check the corpses.
The number of enemy casualties in the surrounding muddy ground was actually about the same as in the battle in Hejiang County, and this loss was very large, because the enemy invested less force in this battle than in Hejiang County, and this ratio was also very amazing.
What's more, after this battle, the Yang family can't muster any strength for a battle, and the hearts of the people in Banzhou should be completely dispersed.
The forbidden army died one hundred and fifty-three in this battle, and three hundred were wounded, which was also an extremely heavy loss for the forbidden army, in the final analysis, it was still not suitable to fight in such an environment as the south, so it was like this, Sun Xin was extremely angry, but the supervising army of the army was very old, and immediately said that these soldiers were killed and wounded for the safety of the southwest, and the local generals would be generously compensated, of course, when the officers and soldiers of Sichuan and Huguang retreated, there were more casualties, and it would be good not to ask about the crime......
At this time, the battle was already nearing its end, and the Yang family wanted to rely on the fortress in Banzhou to see if they could survive this desperate situation.
The fortress was very strong, the terrain was very dangerous, and the troops and material reserves inside were sufficient, but when the artillery was mounted, the hearts of the people immediately collapsed! ~!
