Chapter 116 Besieged Gao Yingxiang
Hong Chengchou was cooling off on the mountain.
The people below ran over quickly and almost fell down: "Ship Hong, here, the rebels are here!"
Hong Chengchou immediately got up, put on his clothes, put on his armor, picked up a knife, and walked forward quickly.
"Ship Hong, the person has arrived below."
Hong Chengchou looked down from the crack of the stone and was very satisfied.
Gao Yingxiang's long team was moving forward below, and the marching speed was not very fast.
Many people complained: "Why are you going to leave? It's been an hour since you left. Before, there was no such marching method under Shen Yikui. We can't hold on anymore, rest!"
"In our opinion, this valley is nice and cool. It's time to rest, so we won't leave!"
Soon, the subordinates came over to report: "Supervisor Gao, brothers are tired, I want to rest!"
"What are you resting! If you rest, Hong Chengchou will run away! March immediately!"
Gao Yingxiang wanted to continue chasing, but the people below stopped doing it.
It's so cool here, it's a great place to rest!
Many people have already sat down, sat in the shade of the mountain, took off their clothes and leaned against the stone, and felt very comfortable.
But they don’t know that the more comfortable the place, the more dangerous it may be.
When Gao Yingxiang saw that many people had stopped, he said to the general: "Tell them, let me know when to rest a cup of tea and set off immediately!"
As soon as Gao Yingxiang got off his horse, his general handed over a sip of water and heard the sound of war drums and horns coming from both sides of the valley, echoing in the valley, which was particularly shocking.
Gao Yingxiang suddenly raised his head and saw a row of Ming troops appearing on the valley.
Large stones rolled down from the hillside, and the peasant army below ran away.
Boom...
Immediately someone was hit by a stone, and his head was beaten to death and died on the spot.
Gao Yingxiang's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly rode his horse, not even water, and rushed forward, desperately rushing out of the valley.
He screamed in his heart, but unfortunately it was too late.
The stones that rolled down the hillside next looked like torrents.
Hong Chengchou made all the careful preparations and smashed them all in one moment.
Gao Yingxiang's cavalry were instantly smashed to death, and some even their war horses were smashed to pieces.
Some people were crushed into a pool of minced meat, wailing heart-wrenchingly.
Gao Yingxiang was so scared that his scalp was numb, and the war horse under his crotch was also frightened by the sound and became arrogant and uneasy.
More cavalrymen were hit by stones, the middle one was hit and fell to the ground, and tripped the back ones.
Soon, Gao Yingxiang's army became a mess.
After the stone is smashed, there will be an arrow.
For a moment, the bow and arrow fell like rain.
Gao Yingxiang himself rushed out with nearly a thousand cavalrymen.
But what about after rushing out?
After rushing out, Hong Chengchou had already brought five thousand people to wait for him.
Not only that, I also dug some holes at the exit of the valley.
He also blocked the rope at the exit.
These are all easy to see.
It doesn't matter!
Our Lord Hong did not expect these traps to kill Gao Yingxiang.
He just wanted to trap Gao Yingxiang in it.
Gao Yingxiang was very anxious and was preparing to fight to the decisive battle. In order to speed up the marching, he only brought food for three days.
As long as Gao Yingxiang is surrounded by him for ten days and half a month, this matter will basically be resolved.
There were still shouts of despair in the valley, but no one responded to them. The stone hit them and they were killed on the spot.
These people are not the most sinful person.
Many of them even had tragic farmers who were rebellious because they could not afford to eat and were starved to death.
But now, he has not been starved to death, but died in this valley.
This is the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
It is already very difficult for ordinary people to live, and it is even a luxury.
After these people die, history will not remember them, they are just a speck of dust in history.
Soon, the battle ended.
Gao Yingxiang was trapped inside.
To be precise, Gao Yingxiang's army did not die much.
He brought 60,000 people, and only more than a thousand people died.
However, in ancient wars, the collapse value of regular army was between 5% and 10%.
Most of the peasant army brought by Gao Yingxiang were peasant army, not regular army.
His cavalry units can be regarded as regular troops, and some infantry are also considered armored, and Wang Jiayin usually pays great attention to their training.
But this kind of person only has 20,000 yuan in total, and most of Wang Jiayin's trump cards are here.
Instead of the non-regular army, holding hoes, sickles, and even holding wooden sticks, it was considered an uprising army.
There are 40,000 people like this.
This kind of person is the easiest to be confused. He has never been on the real battlefield, lacks organization and discipline, and will explode on the spot if there is any disturbance.
This is not a turbulent moment now, it is even more terrifying than ****.
More than a thousand people died on the spot, and countless people saw it, panic spread like a plague.
Someone held his head and squatted in the corner of the stone and shivered: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I still have a baby at home!"
Someone was shouting loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, unite and defeat the enemy together!"
If a few people are emotionally excited, you can try your best to comfort them. Even if a dozen people are in bad mood, you may have a way.
However, once the number of people exceeds twenty, the difficulty will increase. If more than 50 people are going to be able to control the field when everyone is panic.
Now tens of thousands of people are so panicked!
How do you control it?
Many people don’t listen at all and run around.
Fear itself is one of human nature. Once it breaks out, it is like a wild horse that breaks away from its reins.
Is this the best time to rush in?
Of course not. There are so many people inside, even if they lose their combat effectiveness, if they are in chaos, they will have problems.
Hong Chengchou's plan was to siege and surround them. When they were almost hungry, they would go in and wipe their necks one by one.
Of course, Hong Chengchou also counted the situation of eating people and filling his hunger.
People cannibalize people means they have killed each other and consumed each other, which is even more good for him.
A few hours later, it was almost evening. The early autumn evening was very beautiful, with sunsets blooming.
Wang Jiayin's spy came back and reported Gao Yingxiang's situation to Wang Jiayin: "Ship Wang, it's not good. Gao Jiayin fell into Hong Chengchou's plan and was besieged in the valley."
Wang Jiayin's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Wu Yangui on the side.
Wu Yangui said with a gloomy expression: "It's almost dark, the Ming army occupied the mountains, and it's unlikely to rescue them at night. I'll mobilize 30,000 troops to rescue tomorrow!"
Wang Jiayin said: "What if something goes wrong at night?"
"Don't worry, the Ming army will never rashly break into the valley, they will definitely be besieged."
Wang Jiayin thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense!"
He regretted his intestines now, and he didn't know how Gao Yingxiang was injured or killed.
You know, he gave Gao Yingxiang 20,000 elite troops.
The remaining 40,000 is nothing.
