Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 556 Solving the Bandits 9
When Han Peng ordered to stop, the more than 1000 elite veterans of the rogue camp were running out.There are corpses everywhere on the battlefield, but most of them are the corpses of bandits, killed by bullets, stabbed to death by bayonets, distorted corpses, and wounded soldiers moaning in pools of blood. All the rogues' faces turned ashen, and the two sides fought.

The vast majority of those who died were old battalion elites.They killed so many people, but the casualties caused to Heluo's new army were pitifully small!Counting the casualties in hand-to-hand combat, the fifteen hundred musketeers lost less than one hundred, and most of them were only slightly injured, with only twenty or so killed.Such a disparity in battle loss ratio could not be more intuitive to reflect the difference in combat power between the two sides. The rogues are definitely not the opponents of the Heluo New Army, even if their number is several times larger!
Luo Rucai did not survive until the end of the battle.He was too greedy and wanted to defeat the musketeers of the Heluo New Army. Then the lion opened his mouth and made a bunch of conditions. As a result, two bullets completely shattered his ambition.He knelt on the ground with his sword on the ground, his eyes wide open, and he would not fall until he died. But before he died, he looked at the line of musketeers a hundred meters away, which was like a copper wall and could not be charged no matter how hard it was. What was in his heart? What does it feel like.

Liu Xiyao's luck was not much better. A bullet hit his abdomen. With the current medical technology, such an injury cannot be cured.A musketeer raised his bayonet and pierced him through the chest.

Of the three leaders who participated in the battle, He Yilong was the only one left.He Yilong's team of [-] horses never had a chance to play from the beginning to the end. They are still in a mess and suffered many casualties from stray bullets.This warrior who spanned the northwest looked miserable, holding the reins of his horse blankly, speechless.He knew that even if his [-]-horse team could maintain order and enter the battle, the result would not change. His horse team would not be able to break through the firepower of the Musketeers!
How could this be?
When did officers and soldiers become so scary?

All the rogues who watched the battle did not dare to breathe, and broke out in cold sweat. Throughout their lives, they will never forget the horrible scene where the Heluo New Army fought more with less and crushed their old battalion elite like ants. The fighting power of Heluo's new army gave them an extreme shock.

Li Yan opened his eyes and saw layers of corpses.He let out a sigh: "Oh, why bother..."

Han Peng signaled the Musketeers to return to the team, stared at Yuan Zongdi and He Yilong with sharp eyes, and asked: "Are you really going to surrender?"

Yuan Zongdi said: "Surrender, surrender!"

He Yilong and his subordinates also hurriedly said: "Surrender, surrender!"

Han Peng asked: "No more conditions?"

No one said anything.The role model is right in front of your eyes, and anyone who still asks for conditions is definitely out of their heads.The Heluo New Army demanded that they surrender unconditionally. This iron will cannot be changed in any way. Too many of them have already paid a heavy price for defying this will. They are not qualified to bargain with the Heluo New Army.

Han Peng said: "Well, it's time for me to make a condition." He looked around the crowd, almost none of them dared to meet his gaze directly.He raised a finger: "First: You must hand over all your mules, horses, and money. We will leave you four months of living expenses. How you live in the future depends on your abilities!"

The rogues accepted silently.

Han Peng raised his second finger: "Second: You must hand over all weapons, and you must not keep any of them!"

Even if he didn't say anything, the rogues wouldn't be interested in keeping those rags.What's the matter, how can you beat Heluo Xinjun's sleeves even with all your strength, but Heluo Xinjun can knock them down with a light push of the trigger?
The third finger stood up: "Third: Your army must be disbanded, and no soldier can be left behind. We will disperse you and resettle you, maybe in Luoyang, maybe in Nanyang, or maybe move some of you to Deng Lai and Huguang, no matter where you are resettled, there will always be food for you, the premise is that you must cooperate and endure hardships, we do not support idlers!"

The gangsters Nuonuo should be.If other ambassadors had dared to propose disbanding their troops and dispersing them, they would have blown up the camp long ago, but now they nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

It's no use fighting an army that can crush itself to death like an ant!

Han Peng said: "Since everyone has no objections, then..." Pointing to a row of four-wheeled carriages driving over, "Pass in line, put the weapons on the carts, then have something to eat, and then go to Nanyang with us."

The gangsters walked over in a line with blank expressions and threw their weapons onto the car.Shields, swords, spears, swords, hammers...all kinds of things, loaded into cart after cart.This is the first time that they have surrendered their weapons to officers and soldiers on such a large scale. It is not that they have not been recruited before, but at most they need to change their vests, or even their vests. They will never hand over their weapons.Now no one is interested in keeping weapons anymore. Why keep these guys?Will it arouse the wariness of Heluo's new army and eventually lead to death for himself?

More than a dozen cooking carts drove over, and the cooking soldiers pulled out drawers of steaming steamed buns and steamed buns from the carts, and called the rogues to come over, and distributed them according to human hair.It is still the old rule, women and children are given priority, the young and old go to the back row, and whoever jumps in line is waiting to be beaten.As soon as these cooking trucks arrived, the speed of the disarming of the rogues was significantly accelerated. The earlier they threw down the guys in their hands, the earlier they ate, and the later they would have nothing to eat!

Han Peng looked at the rascals who were wolfing down steamed buns or buns in each hand, and felt relieved: "It's finally settled!"

Li Yan said: "Yes, although many people still died, it was much better than killing them in rivers of blood and finally forcing them to surrender."

Han Peng looked in the direction of Beiman Mountain: "I don't know what's going on with Xue Siming? The opponent he's going to face is Zhang Xianzhong, a well-known cunning guy. Don't let this old and cunning guy escape!"

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong was mentioned, Li Yan couldn't help frowning.If he still has some respect for He Yilong, Yuan Zongdi and others, he doesn't have the slightest affection for Zhang Xianzhong.Although He Yilong, Yuan Zongdi and the others are reckless, they are straightforward and a little greedy. They hope to admit defeat and deal with them. As long as they are convinced, they don't have to worry about them making trouble in secret.But Zhang Xianzhong was not like that at all. This man took advantage of the advantages and surrendered when he saw the situation was not good.This kind of guy who is purely for rebellion will only stop if he is killed directly!
Zhang Xianzhong wanted to surrender now, but the problem was that he had no chance. In fact, from the moment he arrogantly ordered to kill the military envoy Xue Siming sent to persuade him to surrender, the door to his surrender was completely closed.

No one has ever dared to kill the envoy of the Heluo New Army and hang his bloody head on a tree in public!

Even Manchurian slaves dare not!
Xue Siming said to the generals with a look of anger on his face, "Let's go and kill until there is no one with a weapon in sight."

Zhang Xianzhong's camp was built in the area of ​​the Emperor's Temple. It is said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Shichangshi rebelled. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other upstarts attacked and killed them in anger. Luoyang was in chaos. Fleeing into Beiman Mountain, curled up in that small ruined temple overnight.Later, Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang iron cavalry to kill them, slaughtered the ten permanent attendants, and rescued the two poor little ones. .I don't know if Zhang Xianzhong set up his camp there because he wanted to get a bit of royal air. If that's the case, then he might be disappointed. Even if the two subjugated kings can't protect themselves, there is a fart royal air for him.However, the terrain around the Emperor's Temple is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is obvious that it is a difficult bone.And Zhang Xianzhong also had a lot of food on hand because of his good search, which was the capital he dared to kill the military envoy.Unconditional surrender?No good at all, down your grandma!
This hero who established the Onishi regime in history didn't know what kind of bad luck he would bring to himself by beheading the military envoy.If he knew what would happen next, he probably wouldn't have the courage to kill the envoy.

The first shot was fired by three 120mm long-barreled mortars, which are the Army's special version.This caliber is just right. If it is larger, it will be too heavy. If it is smaller, it will not be powerful enough. The 120mm caliber is just enough.With a dull thud, three artillery shells carrying a piercing scream crossed the ridge of the mountain and smashed into Zhang Xianzhong's camp. Everyone in the camp suddenly turned upside down.The bandits were shocked to see that the cannons of the officers and soldiers seemed not to be affected by the terrain at all. They fired in groups of three and flew towards them like eyes, exploding large orange fireballs in their camp.Every time a shell exploded, two 300-yuan shrapnel and steel balls flew out densely, causing a rain of blood in the camp.Then, the 85mm howitzer fired. The caliber of this thing was not as large as the long-barreled 120mm mortar gun, but it was far more powerful. The long barrel burst out with terrible power, throwing thunderous fireballs towards the rogue camp, and the picric acid explosives exploded. Divine power, each bombardment would light a fire in the rogue camp. The rogues were thrown into the sky like ants by the explosion shock wave, and then torn to pieces.After two rounds of shelling, the rogue camp was completely in chaos. The cries shook the heaven and the earth, the horses neighed wildly, women and children ran in terror and screamed wildly. Zhang Xianzhong even killed more than ten people but was unable to stabilize the situation.The rebellion expert watched the artillery shells flying over one after another. He was horrified and murmured: "When did the artillery of the officers and soldiers become so powerful? No, the shells fired by their cannons in the past would not explode. How could this happen? Is it a magic spell?"

Sun Kewang was covered in blood and rushed over with a long sword in hand. During the shelling, he shouted at Zhang Xianzhong: "Father, it can't be done. The whole camp is in chaos!"

Zhang Xianzhong roared furiously: "Chaos? Kill anyone who dares to make chaos! Isn't it just a few cannons? I'm afraid he's a bird!"

Sun Kewang shouted: "The officers and soldiers' cannons are powerful. Many of the walls of our camp have been blown down! The only solution now is to let the children lead a group of elites to rush down and destroy their cannons to have a chance of winning!"

Zhang Xianzhong quickly came to his senses, regained his usual calmness and ruthlessness, and said, "Okay, take the two thousand old battalion elites and rush down, don't love to fight, and withdraw the cannons that destroyed them immediately!"

Sun Kewang nodded fiercely.The elite of the two thousand old battalion is almost half of Zhang Xianzhong's old foundation. Usually, he is absolutely reluctant to use it, but now the artillery of the officers and soldiers is so powerful that the entire camp is in chaos. No matter how reluctant you are, you can only be transferred to the higher old battalion.

Amidst the rumble of cannons, two thousand elites from the old battalion roared and roared, rushing down under the command of Sun Kewang.In mountain warfare, being condescending can always give you some advantages. With a wide field of vision, you can clearly see the enemy's deployment and movements, and the impact of attacks from top to bottom is doubled. This is why Chinese military strategists of all generations have emphasized encampment for more than 2000 years. When attacking, you must occupy the commanding heights, and when attacking, you must avoid attacking the enemy who is occupying a favorable camp.The cannons of the officers and soldiers were placed not far from the foot of the mountain. If they dive down, they can almost kill them with a single charge. I dare not say that they will win the battle, but at least they are sure to destroy the cannons.

Xue Siming could see it clearly, a fierce smile appeared on his thin face, and he raised his right palm.

Seven nineteen-barreled rocket launchers lowered their shooting range repeatedly, aiming at the bandits rushing down all over the mountains and plains.While the flag was waving, [-] archers lined up silently with their crossbows in hand, loaded a strong crossbow with a sharp arrow, leveled it, and took aim.

The elite vanguard of the old battalion of two thousand rogue bandits has rushed to the foot of the mountain.

Xue Siming's right palm fell hard, and the God of Death let out a terrifying grin.
