Chapter 666

Immediately, after discussing with Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian, Emperor Chongzhen broke out and marched forward, took the initiative to choose a battlefield, and then waited for the arrival of the rebels.

When the two armies were at war, the scouts fought first.Just this made the rebels feel a lot of pressure.

The court officers and soldiers don't accept nights, it's really not the nights they know.Its elite and powerful, at the beginning, the rebel scouts were completely defeated.Later, the troops were speeded up, almost reaching a ratio of three to one, and the Ming army retreated slowly, out of the way.

Regarding this situation, many chieftains believed that this must be the imperial forest army of the Ming emperor, and it was the elite who wiped out the Jianlu in Liaodong that they were so powerful.But fortunately, they have much more troops than the imperial army, so they will continue to move forward confidently.

Of course, based on the understanding of the scout battle between the two sides, Sha Dingzhou, Wu Bikui and others have also paid more attention to it.Along the way, they kept instilling hatred into their subordinate troops, saying that their relatives were all killed by the imperial army, men, women and children, as long as they were alive, even rats were not spared.

It has to be said that their statement still has a certain deceptive power.If the imperial army quells the rebellion, there will be so much benevolence and righteousness to speak of.For the imperial court, everything the rebels deserved if they were killed.Since ancient times, there have been many such things!

Therefore, the closer they were to the imperial army, the more vigorously these chieftains bewitched, and the stronger the hatred for the imperial army in their army.And this is exactly what they expected.As long as the morale is up, no matter what the reason is, it is the greatest guarantee for defeating the imperial army.

General Dongwu Tai Taitun also saw this situation, with satisfaction on his face.Privately said to Wu Bikui: "Looking at the current morale, with the elites led by this general as the main force, with your troops from all walks of life, you will definitely be able to defeat the imperial army and capture the Ming emperor alive!"

"Fortunately, the general arrived in time with his elite, otherwise, the army has no backbone, and I really don't know how to fight this battle!" Wu Bikui responded to Tai Taitun's flattery carefully.

Sha Dingzhou also left his allies aside and followed Tai Taitun. Hearing what they were saying, he also interrupted and said: "If you ask me, the imperial army are all northerners and have never seen a war elephant at all. When the General's fifty war elephants suddenly come out, those Yankees will probably be frightened out of their wits!"

"That's right!" Tai Taitun said proudly after hearing this: "These fifty war elephants are war elephants that have been trained for a long time. They are not afraid of shouting and killing, and they are not afraid of the sound of guns!"

It took a lot of time and energy to train elephants to be like this.Only Dongwu has this strength, and there is no Yunnan chieftain with this strength, which can train fifty such war elephants.

So, naturally, in the envious eyes of these chieftains, there was another burst of flattery.

After marching like this for two days, the two armies finally met.

Tai Taitun was sent by Dongwu Talong King, so he was affirmed by him.Control the marching speed, and when the two armies face each other, it is just before noon, when the army is on guard, the whole army is ready to eat and fight when they are full.

During the military meeting before the battle, a group of chieftains were on the side of the Chinese army, surrounding Tai Taitun to watch the imperial army camp in the distance.Seeing this, the chieftains obviously became more emotional.

"Look, the imperial army is obviously not as strong as ours, so I finally feel relieved!"

"It's not just that there are not as many troops as ours. It can be said that everyone can drown them if they take a pee!"

"My vision has always been very accurate. Just like this, we estimate that we have four times the strength of the imperial army. Four of us will fight one, and with Dongwu's army here, we will surely win this battle!"

"..."

When ordinary people fight a war, they look at the size of the troops on both sides and think that the one with more troops has a greater chance of winning.

Those at a higher level will compare the eliteness of both armies.For example, Sha Dingzhou and Wu Bikui, the outstanding rebel chieftains, paid more attention to the comparison of the elites of the two armies.

But at this time, the distance is a bit far, but from the camp, the temptation of the forwards on both sides, the defense of the camp, etc., they have to admit that the elite level of the imperial army is better than theirs, at least in terms of ordnance and equipment. too much.

Not to mention anything else, just the military uniforms. On the rebel side, all chieftains have all kinds of clothes, just like an army of ten thousand nations.On the other side of the imperial army, they were all uniformed in uniform, all in red, which looked mighty.

As the nominal leader and deputy leader, they had to remind them when they heard the unlevel speeches of those chieftains.Of course, because Tai Taitun is there, naturally he can't belittle his own strength, and it's not worthwhile to lower morale.

After watching the battle before the battle, after a while of discussion, each chieftain turned back to his army and began to prepare for the decisive battle in the afternoon.As Tai Taitun said, the battle should be over before dark, so that you can have a good rest at night.

About half an hour later, the trumpet sound of "woo woo woo" was heard, the thundering war drums of "dong dong dong" were also beaten, and the shouts of "ho ho ho" filled the world.

One by one chieftain troops lined up on the left and right sides of Dongwu's army.Just judging from the momentum of the opening, it is indeed quite enough.Coupled with the large number of people, it seems that they are the only ones performing in this world.

The army assembled, and then slowly pushed towards the front of the imperial army.

Ruan Fuquan and those Portuguese were also advancing with two red cannons in the army of Sha Dingzhou.They didn't want to participate in this kind of war.However, they are no longer up to them now, if the imperial army hides in the camp and cannot come out, they need to use the remaining two Hongyi cannons to bombard them.This is Tai Taitun's military order, and it must be carried out if you don't want to.

A cannon rang, and the imperial army obviously had no intention of staying in the camp.

The camp gate opened, and groups of soldiers from the Ming Army swarmed out and lined up in the open space in front of the camp.Judging from the flags, there are the Qin army led by Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, and the guard army led by Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.The last thing that appeared was the imperial flag of the Ming Emperor.

In terms of arms, the imperial army has a complete army of chariots, infantry and horses, while the rebel army is basically infantry.Other arms are pitifully few.

It should be that the previous brainwashing had an effect. Seeing the court officials and soldiers appearing in front of them, among the chieftain troops whose lairs have been taken away, all the soldiers showed hatred. Until the veins pop out.Even some soldiers have red eyes.

After the formation of the two sides was completed, Tai Taitun sat on a war elephant and screamed, declaring his might to the Ming army.Just like an orangutan, it will beat its own chest first when encountering an opponent, and let out a roar to catch the opponent first.

When the other chieftains saw it, they all followed suit and shouted.

This kind of situation is also common in wars between chieftains. They are also used to it and feel that it is very effective.

Nearly 20 troops, all shouting together, this momentum is indeed not small.Those who have never seen the scene will definitely be frightened by this momentum.

However, what they are facing is the current Ming Emperor, who conquers the south and the north, is invincible in every battle, and destroys as many enemies as he can.The big scene I have seen can really be described in one sentence: I have eaten more salt than these toasts have eaten rice.

Seeing the rebels acting like this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but curl up his lips and reveal a sneer, as if he was watching a monkey show!

After just watching for a while, a general beside him who was familiar with the situation in Yunnan reported to him the military situation of the chieftain who was arrayed in front of him.Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen issued a decree, and soon the Jinyi guards rushed back to the camp.

Not long after, many people came out of the court barracks.

Naturally, the rebels were watching the movement of the imperial army.Suddenly, many people came out, and of course they were the first to pay attention.

Upon seeing it, they were immediately surprised.Because although it was difficult to see clearly from a distance, many people who came out were not wearing Ming army uniforms, but miscellaneous clothes. Just like the rebels, this situation was still very conspicuous.

Those people came out of the barracks and came closer to the front of the battle.Finally, those with sharp eyes were the first to see clearly who it was.

This time, they were dumbfounded.The two armies were fighting, and a group of old men and women suddenly appeared in front of the battle, as well as some half-grown men. What's the situation?
After a while, many rebels found that the clothes on the opposite side were very similar to theirs, and people had already begun to recognize who the opposite side was.

"My lord, those people who appeared in front of the Ming army seem to be the serfs who stayed at home!" Someone immediately reported to their chieftain, such as Shadingzhou.

When Sha Dingzhou heard this, he was immediately taken aback.But he didn't know each other, and he could only tell the difference from the clothes.But it doesn't matter if he doesn't know each other. At this moment, he can already hear his subordinates shouting "Daddy, Mommy" and so on, so he knows that the news of the report is correct.

Of course he was surprised by this situation.Needless to say, it must be the imperial officers and soldiers who coerced them to undermine their own morale.

Thinking of this, Sha Dingzhou first came back to his senses, with a grim face, and immediately had an idea, and immediately rode his horse in front of his army, pointed the whip at the serfs, and shouted: "If you see it, the government doesn't have one!" Good thing, you want to kill our family members before the battle to threaten us! Surrender is death, and not surrender is also death. In front of the two armies, even if you want to save them, it is impossible to save them. For the current plan, kill the dog officer, kill the Dog Emperor, avenge them!"

Hundreds of thousands of people were killed, such a big scene, and the Ming army was beside those people. Anyone who saw it knew that there was no chance to rescue them.Suddenly, their eyes turned red.
