"Barracks!"

Just now I wondered why they were assigned to Liu's camp. It turned out that Huang Degong gathered up Liu Liangzuo's defeated soldiers and prepared to use them as cannon fodder. A scout's eyes lit up immediately.

Really sent the salted fish to the old cat's head!With a smile on his face, while picking it up in his arms, Feng Liumao nodded with a smile on his face.

"Master Li! It's like thunder! It's like thunder! In the future, brothers will be begging for life under Master Li. You smoke, smoke!"

As soon as he heard the cigarette, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva heavily. Without even thinking about it, the bald head and a few of his subordinates leaned over. In their eyes, what Feng Liumao took out from his arms was not a cigarette, but a sandbag-sized one. fist.

More than a dozen miles away from Lizhuang, the huge Liaodong army also set up a barracks. At this time, there was already little smoke, and large groups of Liaozhen infantry were gnawing on cans around the fire. The recruits and veterans could be clearly distinguished from their expressions. , while pouring bamboo skin cans into the pot, the old Liaodong was feeling disgusted, and those newly enlisted in Shandong, the capital, who had just undergone three months of devil training, were stirring their horseshoes with anticipation, Dayingkou, Teams of scout troops drove the captured Liu Jun back like hunters.

"Damn it, Feng Liumao went to eat papa? He still hasn't come back so late!"

The last time the damaged scouts were still fighting fiercely with the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, He Baoguo, the staff officer of the scouts waiting at the gate of the camp with this notebook, muttered worriedly.

But while he was watching anxiously, the garrison on duty suddenly screamed nervously. Near the camp, hundreds of black heads suddenly appeared, watching them swaying like zombies approaching He came over and whistled, and the scouts who had just returned to the camp gathered together with the defensive cavalry and surrounded them.

But when they got closer, the heavy soldiers couldn't help laughing or laughing. Hundreds of people raised their hands high, with a cigarette in their mouths, in a standard surrender posture. Like that, I inserted two cigarettes, and my tears flowed from the smoke.

Driving the defeated soldiers like shepherds behind, Feng Liumao showed off his teeth and punched his boss.

"Boss, three hundred and nine prisoners will be handed over, and there are other important military information!"

Chapter 6 Fifteen. The Battle of Li Zhuang

Chapter 6 Fifteen. The Battle of Li Zhuang ------

"Huang Degong!"

Mao Jue couldn't help flicking his fingers on the table, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The three towns in Jiangbei are not all idiots, iron-blooded men, Huang Degong is definitely one of them. In the time and space without Mao Jue, he arrived at Zuo Liangyu in the west, beat Zuo Menggeng crying father and mother, and arrived in the Azig Department of the Qing army in the south , although he was defeated and died, it became the last barrier that Emperor Hongguang could rely on.

Mao Jue prepared a lot for going to the south of the Yangtze River this time, but Liu Liangzuo, who was blocking the north gate, was too stupid. After five days, Mao Jue wiped out his [-] army with prisoners. He was feeling too bored, so he just jumped out to play Huang Degong As an opponent, the prestige of a hero is not built on a coward, a real man must be a real man!

And this Huang Degong can be regarded as a talent, if it is used for his own use, it will be a great help. Suddenly, he slapped the table heavily, and Mao Jue laughed loudly: "Order the army to break out of the camp tomorrow and surround Lizhuang Town. After a while, Huang will succeed!"

"The last will obey!"

The general's fame and fortune also go to the head of the enemy, especially the newly built Shandong Army Town and the Capital Army Town, the ten army commanders are rushing to bow and bow their heads.

This time, Feng Liumao became a legend. He fooled the opponent's general in person, and then abducted more than 300 people from the Nanming Army after a fight. When the battalion was fleeing and furious, the overwhelming Liaozhen army suddenly appeared in front of him like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

On paper, although Mao Jue has the upper hand, it is not an absolute advantage. After all, Huang Degong also has hundreds of thousands of horses.But in terms of the lineup, Mao Jue was very aggressive. The 11 people were divided into three square formations, the left-wing Jingshi Army plus one regiment of the Shandong Army, the remaining four regiments of the right-wing Shandong Army, and the Shenyang Army of the Central Army. As for the most experienced Acheng's several regiments were put at the end, protecting the artillery and moving forward slowly.

This time is to fully exercise the newcomers

For the Dongjiang army, the road of more than ten miles was just a weekend morning exercise. In the morning, the mighty army had already arrived near Lizhuang Town.

"Attention! Turn left and right!"

"Let's go!"

Looking at Lizhuang surrounded by the Zhang River, the Liaodong military officers waved their sabers and shouted loudly. In their shouts, the slender formations dragged to both sides, and the columns that were ready to start turned into long formations. , there are only three rows of people in each formation, and there are only two long formations in the entire square, that is, six rows of people, and the slender ones are quite thin.

In the horizontal array, there are also two vertical rows. This is the column tactic that Napoleon the Great is good at, and was also sent to the battlefield by Mao Jue.

However, the only shortcoming of the menacing Liao army is that the cannons have not arrived!

The heavy cannons in red clothes weigh one or two tons each. They don’t have long legs, and the trains they used when they came came. This time, the number of soldiers and civilians in Liao Town was also insufficient, and they were all pushed by the captured Liu Jun prisoners. These guys I also get one tael of silver a month, but I give half of the tael first, and the remaining half of the tael is used as bait. These guys are also very motivated, but they are really weak. Up to now, the main artillery formation is still more than ten miles away from the main formation. .

The troops of Liao Town, who were accustomed to the coordination of infantry and artillery, did not launch an attack immediately. After forming the formation, they first garrisoned outside the town to defend, and took a rest along the way.

Mao Jue was looking into the town with a binoculars. Huang Degong was a brave general in history, and he would often charge into the enemy group with two whips, killing his hands with blood. It seems that this old man is also Zhang Fei, thick and thin, he defended the whole town imperviously, and built an archery tower against the demolished houses of several bridges by the water. It is really difficult for ordinary cold weapon troops Hey, even the Liao town soldiers had to use artillery fire to break through the defense first, and then use small groups of troops to suppress the fire along the trail to seize control of the town.

But when Mao Jue weighed and estimated the degree of training the troops and the battle losses, Li Zhuangzhen on the other side changed his formation hastily.

Flying horseshoes, billowing dust, facing the largest army of the capital on the left, suddenly the fence gate of Lizhuang Town opened, and more than 5000 cavalry from the Huang Degong Corps rushed out from the gate of the town. To chop off their dogs' heads.

This scene has changed too much, not only Mao Jue, even his generals such as Shen Rong, who was newly transferred to the admiral of the Jingshi Army, and newly transferred to the Shandong Army, Old Shandong, and Kong Youde, who is said to be from the Confucian family in Qufu, are unbelievable His eyes widened.

No wonder they were surprised. Even in the later stages of the Shanhaiguan War, Li Zicheng did not dare to launch an overall attack on such a large scale. He could only concentrate his forces to attack a corner, trying to break through with dozens of times the force, and finally fell into Mao Jue's counterattack. How could he, Huang Degong, be so bold and dare to attack Dongjiang directly?

But for Huang Degong, who rushed to the front rows of the cavalry with double whips, he was also unforgivably angry. In the era of cold weapons, [-] cavalry on the plains were enough to serve as [-] infantry. Facing the threat of cavalry, the common sense of infantry generals is Fighting in a dense formation, why is your formation so scattered and thin, Mao Jue, do you look down on Huang?

This is definitely a great opportunity for Huang Degong's Luzhou Army.

Moreover, the capital army with the largest number of people in the first second is also based on Huang Degong's consistent strategic vision. Since the army with the largest number is not placed in the central army, but the left wing is strengthened, then this left wing must be the weakest in the entire army. , eat it first, and turn around to cut off other scattered infantry!

And Huang Degong is not a reckless man, the cavalry's attack speed is not fast, and the main infantry of the Luzhou Army also quickly left the town from a few bridges on the side, although the formation of the army is not as delicate as the tofu block of the Liaodong infantry The main force on the left is like a mountain closely following the cavalry unit. In the standard formation of breaking bandits, the front team breaks away the enemy infantry formation, and the rear team takes the opportunity to encircle and eat the unprotected cavalry. formation.

The small group of infantry on the right went straight to Mao Jue's middle army aggressively. The role of this unit was obviously to contain, preventing the Shenyang Army in the center from supporting the Beijing Army on the edge.

The seasoned Huang Degong has created a situation in which more people fight less in a short period of time. If it is any army in this era, even the mighty Qing army Tartars, Huang Degong will have to fight in this formation. Crying for father and mother and fleeing in despair.

However, what he was facing was the Liaozhen Legion, an army that had changed its appearance and become unfamiliar after he left Liaozhen.

Listening to the shocking sound of war horses running slowly on the ground, Mao Jue's face was gloomy, and he waved his saber like an artist. The drums sounded immediately, and the army of Liaozhen also began to change formation.

At the easternmost point, the four Shandong regiments did not participate in the battle. Instead, they marched towards Lizhuang Town neatly and hastily to the beat of the army drums. , the entire army kept the widest possible area to meet the [-] or so Yellow Army infantry who came to contain them. As for the eye of the storm on the entire battlefield, the Jingshi Army, which had just been built for more than five months, did not move at all, like an idiot. In this way, he used a thin formation to face Huang Degong's thick army.

One after another, the morale of the officers kept ringing in the crowd.

"The examples of Liaozhen's armies are there! The regent always keeps his word! Do you want to be as honorable as them? Do you want to be as rich as them? Hold your ground!"

"Believe in yourselves, trust sir!"

"Hold on!"

However, facing the heavy objects rushing towards them, the natural fear is irresistible. Even the old Liao soldiers who have accumulated many years will be frightened when faced with the overwhelming pressure of a large group of cavalry, let alone these rookies. Looking at the Huang Degong Corps rushing towards us, some infantrymen in the front row were trembling violently, some were trembling with weakness, and some simply turned yellow in their crotch and urinated.

Finally unable to restrain the pressure, a bearded Dongjiang private suddenly raised his heavy flintlock gun, but before he could shoot indiscriminately, a knife sounded behind him, and the leading officer had quick eyesight and quick hands, and chopped off his head.

The round head squirted blood and spun on the ground, making the nearby soldiers tremble even more, but they still suppressed their instincts and pointed their guns to the ground.

Under great pressure, Huang Degong's cavalry rushed into 100 meters, holding up the double whips, Huang Chuangzi let out a charge roar, this distance was already the effective firing distance of Dongjiang infantry in the past.

However, there was no order, and the entire team fell silent with their guns on the ground.

At 60 meters, the horses speeded up significantly, and large drops of sweat had already dripped from the foreheads of the infantry in the front row. However, the commanders of the front lines still hung down their command knives.

At 40 meters, the stench of horse sweat was already coming, and the crackling bows and arrows fell on the Jingshi Corps first. Dozens of Dongjiang infantrymen fell to the ground with arrows in their armor, clutching their wounds and twitching .

At 20 meters, even the Dongjiang infantry at the front could clearly see the big yellow teeth in the big mouth of the Huang Degong army who came over!Here, Shen Rong's high-raised saber finally came down suddenly, almost not half a second behind, the commander's flag and the command sabers of the officers of each department were chopped down at the same time, and the private soldiers of the Beijing Division, who had been suppressed to the extreme, pulled the trigger suddenly like venting.

Crackling!
