1113 Scared Rebels
The leaders of all sizes talked for a long time and explained the situation of the comparison between the enemy and me one after another. To sum it up, the opponent's armor is good, the musket is good, especially the fear is even more powerful!
Finally, Liu Zongmin concludes: "The King of Chuang, it's not that the brothers are not working hard! It's because this group of Ming army is really evil! You see, the armor they wear is all iron armor, it's different from the armor of other Ming army. And where do other Ming army have so many artillery? The most hateful thing is that the shells of this kind of artillery explode when they fall to the ground! There are twenty or thirty people missing in one shot!"
Liu Zongmin really didn't lie! In the era of cold weapons, fighting must have a dense formation to defeat the opponent. However, the opponent's shells will explode, and his own formation will be dense, and the more casualties will be severe!
During the whole process, Li Zicheng didn't say a word. He was recalling what he saw, and combined with the statements of these leaders in the battle, he realized that the part of the Ming army in front of him was a very terrifying existence!
They have long-range killing to the outside world, and their lethality is very terrible! The dense lead shells and explosive shells prevent him from losing much! And his opponents are not inferior when fighting in hand-to-hand combat! The dense spears and thick armor are enough to make everyone close to them despair!
After looking around at the leaders around, Li Zicheng found that they were all embarrassed and obviously did not want to fight with the Ming army anymore. So he said, "What do you guys mean is we retreat?"
Immediately, a few reckless leaders nodded in agreement. This is the habit of the bandits. If I can't beat me, I will leave. Anyway, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is so big, so I don't have to worry about having no place to stay.
Li Zicheng said: "Now densely possesses the upper hand. If we retreat, will this densely intensively chase me?"
A leader said, "But they don't have many cavalry, only about ten thousand people, so what can they do to us?"
Li Zicheng said: "Ten thousand people are enough to entangle us. When their infantry catch up, there will be another fierce battle, and we are even more unlucky! So even if we want to retreat, we have to fight them well. So that they will not go all out to chase us! What's more, we don't have much food anymore. If we don't replenish a batch of food as soon as possible, we will live our lives for a while.
It will be very sad."
Hearing Li Zicheng say this, the leaders who advocated running away stopped talking. The other leaders all agreed to fight another battle.
And to be honest, most leaders felt that they lost inexplicably in the battle today! Well. So they attributed this failure to being unfit for the opponent's new style of play. They felt that if they did it again, they might be able to win the opponent.
Seeing that Li Zichengjian agreed to his opinion, he encouraged everyone and said, "This official army is nothing great! Maybe they are very capable of fighting, muskets and cannons are very powerful. But have you ever thought about it? Their numbers are not large at all. As long as we defeat them, so many iron armors and muskets will all belong to us!"
When these leaders heard Li Zicheng say this, they all fantasized about the majestic appearance of their men wearing iron armor. They smiled for a moment and expressed their desire to fight the bloody battle with these officials to the end!
Li Zicheng waved his hand with satisfaction and said, "Okay, brothers. Now let your men eat something. We will fight again after a while!"
So both sides started to rest. In the afternoon, Liu Pei felt that he had almost finished his repairs, so he took the lead in blew the trumpet. Li Zicheng did not respond for a long time.
This is also impossible, who makes others more people? Moreover, the organizational ability is not good, and it is also difficult to organize hundreds of thousands of people to eat. So Liu Pei took this opportunity to interrupt the other party's rhythm! So he arranged the square formation and approached forward.
When Li Zicheng saw that the opponent had taken the lead in attacking, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to meet the enemy. The leaders hurriedly ordered the soldiers to gather, but in a mess!
If Liu Pei is not ready to put them within the range of the artillery before he is approaching and is in the artillery range, Liu Pei will send them several rounds of artillery, and there may be unexpected surprises.
However, since he did not take advantage, Liu Pei commanded his troops to continue advancing, preparing to defeat them with a dignified army. This was the plan that Liu Pei and the officers discussed at noon.
Liu Pei felt that his side had strong firepower and relatively long-range artillery, which were lacking in the Rebels. And his side's defense ability was also stronger than that of the Rebels, as long as he was in charge of his team.
Just a single attack can win! So Liu Pei decided to give Li Zicheng a unforgettable lesson!
Seeing Liu Pei making such a move, the rebels eliminated the difficulties. Because the hard battle in the morning scared many leaders' courage. So they proposed to defend their own side in the afternoon and then see how the other side responded?
However, this was opposed by many people. There was a quarrel for a while. So Liu Pei led the team to attack and ended the quarrel!
Li Zicheng quickly ordered, saying: "The refugees are in front and our people are in back. At the same time, we must pull the front wider. Once they attack, they will face them as much as possible. Let them attack our central area, and we can lead him step by step and finally surround them!"
Li Zicheng has a good plan and wants to make full use of his own number advantages to easily surround his opponent. However, he still doesn't know much about modern wars, and is not afraid of being unable to eat his opponent and being able to break his stomach!
After deciding the plan, Li Zicheng ordered the army to take action. However, the army under Li Zicheng was not the army under Liu Pei. The people under Liu Pei were all educated and strictly trained, and there was also a strict command system. They acted quickly as the wind!
The rebels had no such characteristics at all. Even their clothes were changing at any time. Because it depends on what they grabbed to wear. So they were completely unable to compare with their opponents in speed!
Just when Liu Pei put them into the range, the rebel soldiers barely formed the formation. However, the refugees who were driven to the front row were still in turmoil. Even if the refugees were stupid, they knew that they were cannon fodder pushed to the front line, so they were very resistant to the rebels' orders.
The rebel soldiers kept whipping them with guns and backs of swords, forcing them to stand in a fixed position. At the same time, the rebel soldiers kept making promises or threatening them.
