Chapter 280

Zhang Xianzhong is also a generation of heroes. He has won countless wars. When he traveled around the world with his former bosses Wang Jiayin and Wang Zizi, he was famous for his bravery and good fighting. His name of Zhang Xianzhong was played, not boasted.

He Zhang Xianzhong has also fought countless wars, but he has never been so unlucky this time.

He Zhang Xianzhong clearly had the upper hand, but he made some small mistakes, that is, he was caught and used by the other party and expanded by the other party. As a result, he was in a dilemma.

He should have retreated when he failed to attack the city, but he found that his spies occupied the city gate. He thought there was still a chance, so he ordered the whole army to press on, hoping to seize the city gate.

Now facts have proved that the spies he thought were actually a good play played by Liu bu. It is estimated that his spies have been seen through and killed by the other party. The other party just wanted to use them to lure the army to attack the city gate.

As a result, the whole army went out to attack the gate of Anqing, facing the full bombing of red cannon.

You know, this is the most powerful red cannon in the world today, and they even formed the most dense formation to attack their positions. As a result, the red cannon bombed them everywhere, and each gun can take 50 or 60 lives.

Such shelling completely destroyed the morale of these loafers who had not seen artillery.

Even worse, if Zhang Xianzhong could make a decisive decision and continue to launch a fierce attack, ordering some people to launch a fierce attack and some people to retreat, he could stabilize the situation, but he directly ordered the withdrawal of troops.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong hoped to stop the loss in time, but he made a mistake of not knowing the soldiers. That is, when the morale of all the soldiers has collapsed, you ordered the soldiers to flee and retreat, and everyone scrambled to retreat. Who will stay as a replacement.

As a result, their retreat turned into a great collapse, which was used by the Qi army. The Qi army directly sent cavalry to drive them away, which expanded their collapse and turned into a great rout.

Moreover, the cavalry of the Ming army were very smart. They didn't chase and kill these rogue bandits, but directly attacked their Chinese army camp. The Qi army's strategy was very clear, that is, the snake had no head. As long as it was interrupted, it could eat this snake.

A series of small mistakes made a big mistake. As a result, he was surrounded by 4000 Ming troops.

You know, in the encirclement, Zhang Xianzhong's troops are not below 3000, and they are all his most elite old camps, all composed of veterans.

It was his old camp who followed him, traveled thousands of miles south from Xingyang, Henan Province, attacked Fengyang, won the central capital Fengyang in one fell swoop, and followed him to sweep all parts of Fengyang mansion. He was the most elite champion, which was just such a level. Zhang Xianzhong had such great ambition and wanted to be on an equal footing with Gao Yingxiang.

As a result, his old camp has been surrounded by the Nanyang army.

If Zhang Xianzhong is surrounded, he has nothing to fear. After all, he has not been surrounded, but now he is surrounded a little differently. After the enemy surrounded them, he did not directly fight with them, but attacked them with artillery and fire guns within the siege, and they only had a few archers in their hands, Then there were soldiers with cold weapons. These soldiers with cold weapons were shot at a long distance by the Qi army with bows, arrows and muskets.

Watching the soldiers around him fall one by one, row by row, Zhang Xianzhong was as heartbroken as a knife, and directly ordered the soldiers to go all out to charge.

Because Zhang Xianzhong also knows that now they are surrounded by the enemy, which is a critical moment of life and death. If they can't break out of the siege, it is estimated that today next year will be their death day.

Zhang Xianzhong was brave and fearless. He personally organized his guard and went all out to launch a counter attack on the Qi army. This is called putting one's life to death.

However, they had just formed their horse team in Zhang Xianzhong, and the Qi army attacked them with Fran machine guns.

Fran machine guns can only be said to be light field guns, but these light field guns directly bombarded the naked Zhang Xianzhong horse team, but they bombed them with blood and flesh, causing heavy casualties. Even Zhang Xianzhong's horse was bombed, and directly fell to the ground and crushed it.

Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers and left and right bodyguards were shocked and came to rescue one after another. As a result, the more people there are, the easier it is for the Qi army to use red cannon to attack and blow them up.

At this time, the Qi army knew that their encirclement was an absolute big fish, so they all gave up expelling other soldiers and concentrated on attacking here.

The Qi army launched a fierce attack on Zhang Xianzhong's headquarters. First, they attacked with muskets, bows and arrows, then bombarded with artillery, and finally the infantry moved forward with shields to squeeze their living space.

You should know that the encirclement circle is also two or three kilometers large, and there is not much difference in the strength of the two sides. It is not so much encirclement, but the other side blocked them. As a result, the other side closed up completely, but beat them into flowers and water and collapsed into an army.

You know, the army is composed of countless people, and the morale of the army is one of the key factors determining the war. Although Zhang Xianzhong still has a large number of people, his morale has disappeared.

A completely demoralized army faces the most elite Jiading Army today, which is doomed to their fate. When the Qi army completely encircles them, they will be in a dilemma.

They still have the opportunity to escape. If they escape separately and scattered, some people can escape. However, Zhang Xianzhong is reluctant to lose his most elite old camp, which is the army he started to protect his life.

He wanted to form a powerful attack queue, break out of the enemy's encirclement, and kill others. Zhang Xianzhong was a fierce and rebellious man who was not afraid of death. It was because of this characteristic that he often made a Jedi counterattack and won the victory when he was at an absolute disadvantage in battle, This time, he also hoped that he could fight back and reverse his disadvantage.

However, Liu Jiajun, the most elite of the Ming army, is an army using firearms. They use a lot of firearms and artillery to fiercely attack each other. You dare to assemble the troops. This is a more fatal mistake. It gives them a better target. The Qi army fires with all its strength, which is to use them as targets.

At this point in the war, they were at an all-round disadvantage and were beaten passively. This roving bandit was formed by Zhang Xianzhong with his personal prestige. Now Zhang Xianzhong was injured and fell off his horse, and his morale has fallen to an irreparable level.

The Qi army was forced step by step and closed in an all-round way, and finally surrounded Zhang Xianzhong's department. After trapping Zhang Xianzhong's army, the Qi army still used his previous strategy, that is, they knew that the other party was an elite old camp and was very good at fighting and bloody warfare, so they did not directly rush up to fight against the other party, but directly attacked the enemy with bows, arrows and muskets.

The Qi army is far inferior to the other party in cold weapon fighting. It is estimated that the Qi army will let the other party fight under pressure, but they use their fire guns and artillery reasonably, but they press the other party to fight.

During their training, Liu Jiajun put great emphasis on training their long-distance Strike ability. Although these roving bandits had a lot to do with armored veterans, they suffered a lot from this new fighting method. Countless bows and arrows were fired, countless fireguns and lead bullets were fired, and the soldiers of Zhang Xianzhong's Department fell one by one, row by row, This is very oppressive for them, which is equivalent to them lining up to be shot by the other party.

Even the most rebellious people were afraid of it. Finally, when they saw that things could not be done, they finally laid down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender to the Ming army.

They are all famous bandits, and they are all heinous people in the eyes of the imperial court. They dug the emperor's Mausoleum and broke the emperor's dragon vein, but they all chose to surrender. It can be seen how desperate and helpless they are.

After the other Party chose to surrender, Liu Jiajun did not choose to kill them all, but directly ordered their infantry to accept the other party's surrender with shields.

Of course, they are also afraid that the other party is a false surrender. The roving bandits are very slippery in false surrender. They often do such activities. You should know that the former governor of the five provinces, Chen Qiyu, was killed by them.

Therefore, Liu Jiajun was also on guard against this. They shouted loudly: "surrender your guns and don't kill, surrender your weapons and don't kill."

They immediately went in and took the rope to get people. If the other party dared to take weapons, whether he really surrendered or false surrendered, they would kill them all. If the other party raised his hands and put down his weapons, they would make them bind themselves with ropes.

You know, these are tough soldiers. If you can't control them and hold them, it's a very dangerous thing. If you let them use weapons, it may be easy to reverse.

At the pre war meeting before the war, Liu Jiajun had come to a conclusion that they had advantages in fire guns and long-range firepower, but they had little advantage in close combat.

So they made a decision, that is, try to use powerful weapons to destroy the enemy from a long distance, and try to avoid bloody meat fight with the other party. The so-called war is actually using their own strengths to attack the other party's weaknesses, which is nothing to be ashamed of.
