  Chapter 546 543【Login】

   It is Tian Jianxiu's general Zhang Shijie who is in charge of stationing on the north bank of the Yellow River.

  He divided the infantry into groups of 500 people, and each group built simple fortifications at a distance of one mile.

  Wang Hui was between two groups of enemy infantry at this time, and the nearest group had already killed him. It was not Zhang Shijie himself, but an unknown officer who led the troops.

  When the five hundred enemy troops arrived, there were also friendly troops from Wang Hui's side. There were two rafts, and the Datong Army had a total of 15 people.

  Fifteen people, five hundred, must be defended!

  The melee soldiers erected two rafts to block the enemy's bows and arrows. The musketeers placed their barrels on the holes in the raft and fired at the enemy first.

  Eight guns, hit three people.

  The enemy army rushed to about ten meters, and the ammunition had been reloaded. The second round of salvo fired, and all eight bullets were hit.

   "Fix the formation, mount the bayonet!"

  At this moment, there was a burst of gunfire, and another sheepskin raft approached, and the Datong Army on the raft was shooting towards the shore.

  It's a pity that the current is too fast. Although I have been paddling with all my strength, I was still washed more than 20 meters downstream of Wang Hui before landing.

  After disembarking, the eight soldiers rushed over immediately, and Wang Hui's side had already met the enemy.

  The other side of the Yellow River is not flat, it is also washed out layer by layer of ridges. More than 400 enemy troops surrounded them and jumped down from the ridge to fight. Due to their fast running, they had no time to form an formation, and the head and tail of the team stretched more than 30 meters long.

   four words, sparse, like a gang fight.

   It can't be blamed for the Dashun army being too hip, the elite were all taken to Hebei by Li Zicheng. There are only about 6,000 veterans staying at Tongguan, and the rest are recruits who have been trained for three months.

  Six thousand elite guard Tongguan, more than enough!

  Crossing the river?

  Li Zicheng never thought that the Datong Army dared to cross the river.

  Because even if they cross the river, they will all be washed away by the river water, just like the current situation. More than a dozen people rushed to land on the beach, and they dared to form an army to defend against 500 people. There is no such army in the world.

"kill!"

   Facing the siege of more than 400 people, Wang Hui did not stick to his position, but took the initiative to charge forward.

   Taking advantage of the loose formation of the Dashun Army, they had to rush out. If you defend in place, the enemy will be surrounded more and more densely.

  So a heroic scene appeared, fifteen Datong troops charged back towards the four hundred Datong troops.

  Wang Hui stabbed one person to death with a gun, and cooperated with the friendly army to kill another person.

  Fifteen Datong troops rushed forward, killing wherever they rushed, and rushed several meters in a row, knocking down twelve enemy troops.

  In some battlefields, the status quo of fighting more and fighting less has formed!

  The Dashun Army was obviously larger in number, but those who fought head-on were cowed by the momentum, and some even took the initiative to dodge to avoid it.

  The Dashun officer leading the team shouted: "End the formation, quickly end the formation!"

   This guy thought that if five hundred people killed fifteen, he would definitely be able to catch them, so he ordered to run at full speed. Some people ran fast, some ran slowly, and the team got longer and longer, and it became more and more scattered. Only then was Wang Hui able to find a chance.

  Under the order to form an formation, only the hundreds of people around the officer began to line up very obediently, and those who were too far away did not know what the order was.

   "Damn...Kill!"

   rushed forward a few more steps, a firecracker was severely injured and was stabbed by the enemy from the side.

  The blunderbuss roared in pain, raised his bayonet and charged out, stabbing the attacker to death. It's a pity that he was injured and couldn't rush along with him, and was soon besieged and killed by the four Dashun troops.

  Wang Hui saw the signs of the enemy's formation from a distance, and immediately shouted: "The enemy is over there, follow me to kill!"

   There are still fourteen people left, and under the leadership of Wang Hui, they rushed towards the place where the enemy is most dense.

   After rushing a few steps, another Datong army fell to the ground, this time it was a pike soldier.

  The eight friendly troops of Datong in the lower reaches also imitated Wang Hui and charged towards the enemy's flank after landing.

  There is only one exception.

  Yang Zhi ran for a while, then stopped to take aim. He did not shoot in the river.

  At a distance of more than forty steps and sixty meters, Yang Zhi aimed at the enemy general who was gathering troops.

"boom!"

   One shot hit the enemy general's personal soldiers, so frightened that the enemy general quickly shrank his head, hid in the crowd and never showed his face again.

"Crooked!"

  Yang Zhi was very remorseful, and then reloaded the bomb at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers.

  The remaining seven Datong soldiers rushed over from the flank. The enemy army here is even more scattered, more than a dozen people were killed by them, and they took another 20 people along with them in the process of fleeing.

   In fact, it is not considered a rout. These Dashun soldiers who fled want to go back to their generals and fight again after forming an formation. They are scattered, there is no formation, no organization, no matter how many people there are, it is difficult to cooperate with each other.

  Yang Zhi poked the projectile with a poking stick, looked up while poking, but saw that the enemy general didn't show his head at all.

  He saw the thirty or forty broken soldiers again, and suddenly he had an idea: "The enemy general is dead, the enemy general is dead!"

  It's a pity that the battlefield is noisy, and Yang Zhi's voice is too low.

"To the right!"

  The formation of the enemy army in front has been initially formed, and more than a hundred people are densely packed. Wang Hui knew that it would be difficult to disperse, so he took the lead and rushed to the right, wanting to cooperate with the friendly troops who came to meet him from downstream.

   When turning around, two more people were lost, leaving only eleven people in Wang Hui's team.

  Eleven men from the west and seven from the east, a total of 18 Datong armies. When the two sides charged at each other, they defeated more than 60 enemies among them.

   The price is that the Datong Army killed two people again.

  The Datong army joined forces, not counting Yang Zhi, there were only sixteen people left. And everyone was wounded, standing on the shore and gasping for breath.

  The formation of the Dashun Army was gradually completed, and a neat line of troops came slowly towards Wang Hui.

"boom!"

  Yang Zhi fired a second shot, again hitting the soldiers around the enemy general.

   "Why didn't you hit again?" Yang Zhi was frustrated.

  The unnamed general of the Dashun Army was so frightened that he completely shrank to the rear of the team.

  The 500 Dashun Army stationed in the west also started to engage in battle, to besiege and kill the Datong Army who landed in another place. The situation there was very bad. Eight Datong soldiers were all killed after landing.

   "General, here we come!"

   Another two sheepskin rafts came and docked at a distance of 23 meters. This time fifteen soldiers came, and together, Wang Hui's army reached thirty-one.

   Still didn’t count Yang Zhi in it, this guy was alone far away, squatting on the ground to reload.

  After the enemy general suffered a loss, he did not dare to be careless, and approached a little bit in formation.

   "Bang bang bang!"

   While the Dashun Army was marching, the Datong Army fired another salvo.

"boom!"

  Yang Zhi also shot again. He couldn't find the enemy general who was hiding, but he killed the enemy team leader with one shot. That team fell into a panic, causing the Dashun Army to advance more slowly.

  The enemy general finally couldn't take it anymore, and dispatched thirty soldiers, pointing in Yang Zhi's direction and roaring: "Go and kill that guy!"

  Yang Zhi took his time and reloaded the ammunition.

   On the frontal battlefield, this Dashun army is mainly recruits, and the number of archers is very small. After the salvo of the Datong army, more than thirty archers went out to shoot at Wang Hui.

  Wang Hui threw away all his shields when he was charging, and there was no leather raft around him as a shield.

  They can only cover the deadly parts, and use cotton armor to carry the bow and arrow hard.

  The troops crossing the river are all wearing cotton armor. If they fall into the river, they will surely die!

  Seeing several leather rafts docking in the east, Wang Hui shouted: "Run downstream!"

  When the Datong army moved, a corpse was left on the ground, which was shot to death by the enemy just now.

  When the enemy general saw Wang Hui running again, he obviously hesitated. He didn't know whether to continue to march forward or order to catch up at full speed. What if you run away again?

   After some thought, the enemy general ordered trot to pursue. The whole army should not run too fast, and try to maintain their formation.

  The troops joined forces again smoothly, Yang Zhi also joined the team, and the force reached forty-six.

   "Look, General!"

  Wang Hui turned to look at the river, and saw hundreds of sheepskin rafts rowing towards him.

  It was the Datong Army who crossed the river in pieces and had been using hot air balloons to observe the situation. The situation on Wang Hui's side was the best, so the follow-up troops concentrated here to cross.

  The unknown enemy general also saw it, and shouted in horror: "Kill at full speed!"

   "The reinforcements are here, and the world will be united!"

  Wang Hui shouted excitedly.

  The unknown enemy will not care about hiding, and draws out his waist knife to lead the team to charge.

  Yang Zhi picked up the gun again to aim.

"boom!"

  The enemy will fall down.

  Wang Hui was stunned for a moment, then ecstatically, raised his spear and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, follow me to kill!"

  Forty-six Datong armies attacked more than 400 enemy troops with momentum like a rainbow.

  The enemy army seemed a little at a loss when the general was killed. Some continued to rush over, some stopped in a daze, and some ran away directly.

  The distance between the two sides was already very close. As the Datong army charged back, more than 400 enemy troops fell apart in an instant.

  Sometimes, a little coincidence can determine the situation of the battle.

  The most famous one is that the Red Army forcibly crossed the Dadu River.

  The river is more than 300 meters wide and the current is fast. The Red Army has only one boat. Eighteen warriors crossed the river to seize the position, and they had to use this boat to row across in two parts.

  The enemy's machine gun positions were firing fiercely, and the Red Army had only three shells left, and the mortar mounts were broken.

  Sharp gunner Zhao Zhangcheng stood up, holding the gun barrel with his left hand, and measuring the distance with his right hand. All three shells hit, destroying three machine gun positions, and eighteen warriors took the opportunity to land.

  How could the Red Army cross the Dadu River without the three remaining shells hitting all of them?

  At this moment, Tian Jianxiu's cavalry chased the Datong army to the downstream, and they are currently rushing upstream.

  Wang Hui is here to initially build a landing position.

   Further upstream, there are also several sheepskin rafts crossing the river.

  He Zhen looked at the battle on the other side, and the Tongguan defenders were killed and retreated, making him more determined to defect.

  When the sheepskin rafts docked, He Zhen immediately led five hundred people there. All the soldiers under his command thought that he was going to fight, but this guy said: "The emperor of the Zhao family in Nanjing is benevolent. I heard that everyone can share the land, no corvee, no heavy taxes, do you want to live a life like this?"

  The soldiers were all stunned.

  Because He Zhen was not trusted, all the old troops were taken away by Li Zicheng, and now the five hundred people are all recruits.

   "Who doesn't want to surrender?" He Zhen asked.

  No one spoke.

   Seeing that the soldiers still did not respond, He Zhen shouted: "I have voted for the Datong Army. Those who eat and drink are hot. If you are willing to surrender, follow me!"

  He Zhen took the lead to walk towards the Datong Army. The soldiers looked left and right. At first some people followed him, and finally they all followed.

  The Datong army on the shore was waiting in full battle. He Zhen stepped forward alone and shouted: "Don't let go of the guns, don't let go of the guns. I am willing to lead my troops to surrender to the Datong court!"
