Chapter 324: A big collapse

A group of children fights with a group of children. If a group of children forms a formation, the one who wins is often the organized and disciplined group of people. If a group of adults and a group of children is useless even if the formation is neat.

After the long-range attacking wooden spear thrower was shot down by the border archers, the border army's brigade suddenly came up. At that time, the peasants rebelled, except for the core troops, the other people who were brought in were good equipment. Fortunately, Liu Shisan robbed Laiwu's arsenal. The equipment of the rebels was quite good, but the weapons needed combat skills to display.

Compared with those troops that fought on the border for many years, most of Liu Shisan's troops were farmers holding weapons. The people in the front were quickly killed by the wolf-like border troops. After several months of training and the swords and axes of the supervisory team behind them lost their deterrence.

The young and strong men who were brought in began to flee in all directions, and the chaos became increasingly greater and gradually reached an uncontrollable point. Liu Shisan sat there, looking at the collapsed situation ahead, and felt as if he had completely failed. And there was no room for recovery.

Now he really knew that his ambitions and his ability were indeed far from being different. He did not listen to Dengzhou's orders and was independent without authorization. The consequences of this have already emerged. Seeing that there were still two thousand iron-armored soldiers in front of him, he felt even more like a knife.

The iron armored soldiers could not run fast because of the weight on their bodies. Even if they took off their armor, what else could they do on this battlefield? They died from the official army or the swords of the chaos.

"Those who are close to the Iron Armor team will kill you without any hesitation!"

Liu Shisan gritted his teeth and issued an order. His personal soldiers shouted together that the iron-armored soldiers formed an unbreakable formation. Everyone who approached was stabbed by spears or killed by swords and axes. The fleeing people gradually became rare, or fled to both sides of the battlefield. Of course, most of the people died under the swords of the official army.

Several personal guards behind Liu Shisan exchanged glances with each other there, and someone came over and said:

"Second Master, why don't we go first? The head of the family can still keep the second master in Dengzhou, and it will not lose its glory and wealth."

Liu Shisan looked back at his personal guards. These were all his close relatives. He smiled bitterly:

"I still have the face to go back. All I can do today is a decisive battle."

Next, the few people behind were ignored and issued orders loudly there. The Ming army has sorted out its formation during the fight. The battle is very slow, but the pursuit is very fast. The rebels who run all over the mountains and fields, which are surrounded by young and strong people, ignore them.

However, under the orders of officers at all levels, they slowly gathered towards Liu Shisan's original formation. Under Liu Shisan's order, the iron-armored soldiers began to move forward. The officials in front were not in a hurry to act, but just kept a certain distance and followed them.

The iron-armored soldiers had neat formations and the formation of the official army was scattered, but now Liu Shisan also understood that the quality of these soldiers is very different from the local soldiers in the past. This kind of scatteredness is more for the convenience of fighting, or because of the bravery of these soldiers, there is no need to use these formations to strengthen combat power. The outside government army looked at the iron-armored army formation that looked like a hedgehog, and the sword and axe hand holding short soldiers slowly retreated to the back.

The soldiers holding spears and horse spears gradually moved to the front row. As expected, they had rich combat experience. The officers holding long weapons were admitted to the archers again. After shooting out five arrows quickly, the muscles of these archers were sore and needed to be replied. Now the battle between hand-to-hand and blades was fully adjusted, and then they were adjusted.

The distance between the two sides is about twenty steps. Liu Shisan's iron armored formation is very slow because the formation is stable. The official army without such good iron armor is much more agile. After the archers completed the preparation, they shot bows and arrows one step forward, and then quickly returned to the protection of the chief soldiers of the Jiang family army. The only iron armored soldiers of the Jiang family army had facial armor, and the remaining iron armor was only breastplate and arm guards.

Although not everyone in the border army's archers were sharp shots, they still had a rough head. With the random guns and bird shooting, the iron armored soldiers were not prepared enough, and they immediately fell down.

The border army holding long weapons was very fast. Seeing the rebel spears falling in front of them, hundreds of households and thousands of households issued loud orders and rushed forward quickly, but the iron armored warriors also had their own way of dealing with them. The swords and axes quickly walked to the forefront, and the square shields in their hands formed a piece to form protection. The spear soldiers retreated to the second row extended their spears out from the air strike of the shield, so that the threat of bows and arrows had been minimized.

The official army saw Liu Shisan's troops react quickly, but they were not in a hurry to pursue him. They just quickly maintained a distance of about thirty steps, and the archers retreated to the back.

There were more than 200 cavalrymen behind Liu Shisan, who were his personal soldiers and generals of the Liu family. These more than 200 cavalry could play a role in rushing at critical moments. Liu Shisan was waiting until his iron armored formation caused the greatest Shanghai to the opponent, and the cavalry attacked and caused the greatest results.

Now the distance between the enemy and us is quite close. The loud orders in the official army formation can be heard clearly. The people in the official army shouted loudly, but Liu Shisan understood that they were all in the accents of Hebei, and his heart was even more chilling. It was actually the border army.

When Liu Liu and Liu Qi's white-clothed magical weapons were everywhere, the guards were unable to fight. It was exaggerated to say that they would collapse at once, but it was not far from each other. However, after Jiang Bin brought Datong's border troops, the extremely majestic Liu family's white-clothed almost ran into pieces and collapsed quickly.

This was Liu Shisan's psychological disorder. When he felt that the other party was a border army, the belief in decisive death in his heart had dissipated a lot, and he began to become a little timid.

The rebels continued to advance and the officials continued to retreat. Liu Shisan understood in his heart that if he was in the wild, his soldiers would probably be dragged down by this. However, if he retreated, he would be the city of Jining. Sooner or later, there would be a battle. The formation of the officials had stopped. Now the front row had been replaced with a group of soldiers holding spears. The faces of these soldiers were covered with white cloth. It was strange that the spears in the hands of the soldiers were helping the pipe at the tip of the gun, and there was a hissing sound below, which was a little inconvenient for a while.

The firearms of the Jiang Family Army in Dengzhou were muskets and cannons. These people were not from military families, so they naturally did not know about the special firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

The lead ignited in, and suddenly a yellow smoke spewed out at the top of the spear tip, rushing towards the iron armored army. Now it was a breeze on the battlefield, but now it was close to the city and surrounded by a large army. There was almost no wind, and the yellow smoke floated over without any obstacles.

The soldiers who smelled Huang Yan immediately coughed and burst into tears. They fell to the ground even more excessively. The solid formation finally became chaotic. Most of the more than 200 people behind Liu Shisan were young and strong in their teens and twenties. Although they were panicked, they didn't know what this was.

Only a guard in his forties who was following Liu Shisan took a breath and said in a daze:

"This is a poisonous musket!"

Poisonous muskets have basically no connection with muskets. In fact, they are helping bamboo tubes on the long pole, which contain a mixture of gunpowder and croton arsenic. They are also considered chemical weapons on the battlefield. They rely on poisonous smoke to weaken the opponent's combat power, and then they can kill and injure.

This weapon is often used by modern military enthusiasts to satirize the Ming army's low combat effectiveness and their weapons and equipment. However, in an era when such weapons appeared, they always had their own functions. For example, if a strong formation like Liu Shisan attacked hard, it would inevitably be a casualty and injured.

But now the rebels who were caught off guard were already defeated, and the officers and soldiers covered with white cloth dipped in water had already rushed in and slashed and killed.

Liu Shisan saw the power in his hand explaining it here, his eyes as if he was about to drip blood. He raised the knife in his hand and rushed forward with the remaining cavalry under his command, but as soon as his arm was raised, he felt a heavy blow in the back of his head, and his eyes turned black and he fainted.

The guard in his forties, who was in his forties, tied Liu Shisan up with a cloth belt, turned his head and shouted loudly at the companions beside him who didn't know what to do:

"Why are you still standing there? Follow me!"

More than 200 cavalry were behind the Iron Armor formation, and there was almost no rush. The horsepower was very sufficient. Although the iron armored soldiers were in chaos, it would take a while for even two thousand pigs, let alone those soldiers who were dizzy, cried and danced with weapons in their hands.

The officers and soldiers couldn't chase them, so they could only watch more than 200 cavalry left. Han Cai was so angry that he cursed there, but he had no choice but to have no choice. The other party's terrain was familiar, and his own border troops were already a little tired of rushing back and forth. After comparing the two sides, they could not catch up.

However, Han Cai and Lou Yaohua were not too anxious to pursue Liu Shisan. The weapons and these iron armor on the battlefield were already rich enough for them, and the beheading was also a lot of merits. In addition, the battle of the guest army was doubled. Moreover, the second leader, the knife had been beheaded, so the rest was left to the Shandong garrison station to handle it themselves!

The rebellion in southern Shandong, which lasted for nearly eight months, finally came to an end. Nearly 10,000 thieves were beheaded. The thief chief was killed in front of the sword formation. All the thief soldiers in southern Shandong occupied the prefectures and counties, and the thief chief Liu Shisan was missing...
