Chapter 89 The First Battle of Shunjun Iron Armored Battalion
As soon as the sky was dawn, the Shun Army gave up the Qixingzhai camp and drove towards the Qing army camp to the west. Zhao Peng's two thousand Jinyi new army, three hundred young Jinyi Guards and more than 10,000 newly formed infantry followed behind the Shun Army and headed towards the Lianpengshan camp. The Qixingzhai camp was abandoned, and the more than 10,000 infantry assigned to Zhao Peng will cooperate with the Jinyi New Army to guard Lianpengshan.
After Li Zicheng allocated more than 10,000 Shun Army infantry to Zhao Peng, Zhao Peng also incorporated these infantry into the Jinyiwei.
When they heard that they had changed from refugees to officers and soldiers, and they were superior to others, these infantry soldiers were naturally ecstatic. You should know that the reason why they became refugees was that they were forced to be happy by officials and gentry and were forced to abandon their fields and become refugees. Now that they have obtained the identity of Jinyiwei, they can seek revenge on those officials and gentry who once harmed them in the future.
"We are already Jinyiwei! I really dare not think about this before!"
"Yes! The Wang Juren in our village is really not a thing! Our family was forced to death by them. Originally, the family of six people was only one of them alive! If you have the chance in the future, you will definitely take the Wang Juren to the imperial prison and greet him well!"
"I'm not the same? My family originally had ten acres of good paddy fields in the Fenhe Valley (there were paddy fields in Shanxi back then). In order to occupy my ancestral property, the Zhang family in the village colluded with the county magistrate and gave me a false charge and took it in. The family was forced to death. If the King of Chuang came to save us, I would have died in prison! I would have to settle the score with them when I turned back!"
The infantry newly formed into the Jinyiwei were talking about it, but at this time someone said: "We were originally the King of Rebellion, but now we have become hawks in the court. Are you sorry for the King of Rebellion?"
Someone immediately corrected the person's words: "This is a bad thing! The King of Chuang did not want to rebel against the Emperor of Zhu. It was all those officials and gentry that made us unable to live a happy life, so we had to rebel."
The man said again: "But I heard that the Jinyiwei is a hawk in the court, and he specializes in harming the people..."
The man next to him corrected him again: "The court hawks and dogs are not harming the people. General Zhao told us that the Jinyiwei harmed those officials and gentry! Only officials and gentry who harmed the people are most afraid of the Jinyiwei! What's wrong with us ordinary people joining the Jinyiwei?"
"Yes! Most people usually don't have the will to join the Jinyiwei. Now we are all Jinyiwei!"
Gong Xiaoda shouted: "Everyone is quiet! If you want to seek revenge from officials and gentry, you must first survive the attack of Jiannu! Only by surviving first can you think about the next step, otherwise nothing will be discussed!"
Everyone calmed down one after another, marched silently, and headed towards the Lianpengshan camp five miles away.
On Lianpeng Mountain, some of the Shun Army stationed here also went down the mountain, gathering with the Shun Army from Qixingzhai, forming a powerful force toward the Qing army camp.
This is a foggy morning, which is very beneficial for the cavalry of the old camp of the Shun Army who are about to launch an attack to break through. The iron armored battalion of the old camp of the Shun Army can completely use the heavy fog to approach the Qing army camp by surprise. As long as a few rounds of thunder are thrown out, the Qing army formation can be disrupted. The shaped cavalry behind can take the opportunity to break out of the siege, and the iron armored battalion also takes the opportunity to get on the horse and evacuate.
The infantry composed of more than 10,000 refugees could not break through with the cavalry. The Qing cavalry with two legs could not run away with four legs. If they broke through with the old Ying Shun Army, there would be very few more than 10,000 infantry that could escape. So Zhao Peng accepted all of the more than 10,000 infantry and turned them into his own Jinyiwei.
Next, what these refugees have to do is cooperate with the Jinyi New Army to defend Lianpeng Mountain for three days. If the Ming navy comes to rescue them within three days, it will be successful. If there is no navy to rescue them, then cut down wood and raft yourself. You can still evacuate Lianpeng Mountain and escape from the sea to Jiaodong. As long as you arrive at Jiaodong, everyone will be safe.
The sky was not yet completely bright, and the bonfire in the Qing army camp had not yet been extinguished. In the fog, the bright flames guided the old camp of the Shun Army. The direction of the attack of the Shun Army was the Eight Banners Army's camp. According to Zhao Peng, iron-armored grenades are good steel. Since good steel should be used on the blade. No matter how powerful the Eight Banners soldiers are, they are still flesh and blood. A burst of thunder bombardment can make these elite soldiers faint. When the cavalry rushed in, they would be slaughtered by standing and cutting vegetables.
The cavalrymen of the old camp of Shunjun were holding pieces, wrapped their horses, and quietly approached the Qing army camp. All the cavalry and the iron armored soldiers were dismounted. The cavalry led the horses behind the iron armored soldiers. The iron armored soldiers dismounted and temporarily handed the horses to the cavalry to lead them. They walked to the Qing army camp. At the front were 216 slingshotsmen, each of which took the bow in his hand. After approaching the Qing army camp, the slingshotsmen took off the thunder from their waists, opened the tinder tank on their body, and lit the fuse.
The firelight of the Iron Armored Camp aroused the Qing army's vigilance, and someone shouted at the direction of the fire: "Who is it!"
"There is an enemy!" The Qing army camp immediately became turbulent, and some Qing soldiers who reacted faster immediately drew their bows and arrows to shoot rounds of light arrows in the direction of the iron-armored soldiers' attacks.
The arrows broke through the air and fell into the formation of the iron armored soldiers of the Shun Army. However, these iron armored soldiers of the Shun Army, even the masked guards on their faces, were not afraid of bows and arrows being fired. The arrows were stuck on their armor, but they were just hanging lightly on them, or simply bounced directly to the ground; the light arrow shot into the helmet and mask and immediately slid down.
The iron-armored soldier lit the thunder magic twister, then hung the thunder on the bowstring, pulled the bow, and let loose his fingers. With the sound of the bowstring tense, more than two hundred thunders emitting fires flew overwhelmingly to the Qing army camp.
After the slingshot shot out the thunder of the sky, the grenade also ran and rushed towards the Qing army camp, holding the thunder of the sky in his hand. The fuse hanging around his neck had been lit, and he was about to get close to it and throw the thunder of the sky.
More than two hundred thundershots shot from the slingshot fell into the Qing army camp. A dazzling fire flashed, and a violent explosion sounded, and countless iron beads and fragments flew out of the cracked fireballs. Amid a series of explosions, the Qing soldiers standing around the camp shooting archers were immediately blown up. Those Qing army bird gunners who were igniting the fuse were not at the time to fire, but were blown up by the flying thunder. In the Qing army camp, the flames soared into the sky, flesh and blood flying, and screamed in terrible times.
Countless Qing soldiers fell in pools of blood, bows, arrows, and bird guns were all blown into pieces, and the storm of blood mixed with human parts and flew into space amid the explosion, and the Qing army's wooden fence wall also collapsed amid the explosion.
The grenadiers had approached the camp, and they lit the thunder of the sky and threw the thunder of the sky with fire.
More than a thousand thunderstorms with firelight flew into the camp of the Eight Banners Army, and explosions continued. The elite Eight Banners Army was hit by this sudden blow and was suddenly dizzy. Before many people could react, they were blown into pieces, or their bodies were covered with bloody holes covered with blue smoke and fell down.
The cavalry of the Shun Army rushed up, and a magic archer shot out a few arrows, broke the rope, and the suspension bridge fell on the trench with a "boom". Then the iron-armored soldiers rushed across the suspension bridge and swung their axe to split the gate of the village.
"Kill!" Li Zicheng roared. The powerful generals Luo Hu, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others around him led the old camp cavalry into the Qing army camp. The horses stepped on the camp. The Eight Banners Army, which had not yet fully reacted, were like harvested wheat, and were knocked over by the cavalry. The horse's hooves trampled over them ruthlessly, with their intestines rotting, leaving corpses everywhere.
In fact, the Qing army was prepared for a long time, but the power of the thunder of the sky was far beyond their imagination. The Eight Banners soldiers who were arranged in advance were confused by a thunder of the sky, and more thunders flew in from behind. The Eight Banners soldiers were dizzy when they were bombed. Then the Shun Army cavalry rushed in. Even if these Eight Banners soldiers were brave enough, they could not resist it.
