Chapter 370 Yuan Ya can’t bear it anymore
soon……
The messenger of Zhan Man'e immediately went to the leader of the alliance, Wang Yuanya, for help. Wang Yuanya also knew the truth that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. The brothers of the Jingchu uprising were one family! Once the barbarians wiped out Zhan Man'e, they would start to clean up one by one, and no one would escape.
Therefore, Wang Yuanya, as the leader of the alliance, ordered all the volunteer troops in Jingchu to gather around Zhan Man'e's troops and prepare for a life-and-death battle with the army of the barbarian court.
I have to say! Wang Yuanya is a very qualified leader and very loyal.
Although the other rebel armies had their own ulterior motives, they basically shared Wang Yuanya's judgment: if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold! The imperial court couldn't just come to eliminate the rebels of Jingchu this time. Every last one of them must die!
Of course, Wang Yuanya couldn't let the barbarians sit idle like this, so she asked the envoys to write letters to Li Zhenbei of the rebel army, Li Jize of the Qin army, and the empress of the Qi army. In short, she sent a letter to any force that was against the barbarians.
Invite them to attack the barbarians together! On the one hand, it will relieve the pressure on yourself, and on the other hand, it will distract the barbarians. You can't just catch them and fight Jingchu alone.
pity……
The Empress is busy fighting for territory with Zuo Santong and engaging in civil war, so she is unable to send troops to support you. She can only express her spiritual support to you.
Li Jize was busy confronting the Erqi army on the opposite side, but in fact he was busy with the "national service". He could only... offer to send some firearms as a token of his appreciation to you.
As for Li Zhenbei, it’s even simpler!
He is facing the main force of the barbarians. It’s a miracle that I can survive. How can I help you?
But the other party is Wang Yuanya, who is from his rebel army, so he also belongs to the rebel army!
He could only send three thousand people on a raft to show his support.
See it!
My ex-husband sent a boatload of firearms, and my eldest brother sent three thousand men, but the empress only made a verbal expression.
To the north!
The empress still owes Wang Yuanya a life, so she is the one who should repay her the most!
Of course, we have to say that Wang Yuanya is everyone's favorite. Everyone is helping him, just in varying degrees.
Li Jize's firearms are on the way, and his eldest brother's troops are also on the way. As for the empress's verbal instructions, there is no need for them.
At this moment, the only thing Wang Yuanya can do is...
Hard steel! Fight with my brother-in-law Li Jihuan.
The two sides had 100,000 troops against 80,000, all of whom were a group of "miscellaneous soldiers" and not professional soldiers.
I can only say that they are about the same!
Of course, Wang Yuanya and the others are just half a pound of scrap iron, while others have eight ounces of gold.
They are really just a group of peasants holding hoes. What are they facing? They can take out armor and weapons!
Except for the confidants of various leaders, the weapons on Wang Yuanya's side were either self-made or confiscated. The rest were the most outrageous. You could even see soldiers holding dung forks.
As for Li Jihuan’s soldiers, they are more like the “noble soldiers” in the West!
In the West, knights are generally nobles, and these nobles are also the most powerful.
Because of their chivalry and professionalism, and their equipment is not standard equipment, but is made by themselves with their own money, and is very diverse.
But once on the battlefield, these people were extremely powerful and were by no means comparable to the peasant army.
They are supported day by day, and the only thing they need to do is to hone their killing skills and build their own equipment, just like the Eastern Japanese samurai.
How could ordinary people or newly recruited soldiers defeat them?
The same goes for the soldiers assembled by these gentry and landlords themselves. Most of them are from their own clans, so of course they are given the best weapons and equipment.
Not only that! If you ask these people to fight for the country or the court, they will have no fighting power at all, but once they fight for their family, they will cry out loudly.
This is a good thing in the short term, but not in the long term.
The most annoying thing about encountering this kind of army is that the more you fight, the more powerful the enemy becomes!
Because most of them are from the same clan, either from the same village or brothers, and you killed one! The others are like crazy, fighting you desperately, wanting to avenge my third uncle's grandson's uncle's brother!
Apparently, Wang Yuanya and her fellow rebels had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation. Both sides formed a huge formation nearby and began the first real "line-up shooting"!
Yes! This sentence has been said three times, and the first two times were about the Qin army and the two Qi armies.
But strictly speaking, their line-up shooting is not called line-up shooting. The Qin army has a generation gap in weapons! The enemy has always been unable to reach the Qin army, but the Qin army's range is exaggerated to attack.
But here...
Between the first generation of matchlock guns, with the beating of drums and gongs and marching in orderly steps, the armies of both sides marched towards each other.
Then they drew their weapons, lit them, and began to shoot at each other in turns.
This method seems very stupid!
However, for the firearms of this era, as long as the generation gap is not as strong as that of Li Jize's Qin Army, queuing and shooting is still the most efficient and powerful way of fighting.
Again, in the short term, this is a bad thing!
All those who died were from Qi. This kind of shooting in large numbers was extremely cruel.
But in the long run, this is a good thing!
The experience that the Westerners had summed up after countless wars was actually applied to the land of Da Qi for the first time.
But in the end, when it comes to queuing for execution, the winner is still determined by cold weapons!
After the echelons fired wave after wave, the rebels were the first to collapse, because the musketeers who died were Wang Yuanya's men! Only her people knew how to use firearms, and only her people had firearms.
So, if we kill all her people, what’s the fun in that?
As Li Jihuan drew his sword, he gave the order, "All troops, attack!"
then……
The soldiers behind him, who had been driven crazy by the death of their fellow villagers, were howling like zombies out of a cage, their eyes red with desire to avenge their brothers!
A large-scale fight broke out between the two sides!
The rebels are just fighting peasants with weapons, while the other side is wearing armor and holding bows, arrows and spears. Who do you think is at a disadvantage?
The battle lasted from noon to night, and the ground was stained red with blood. It lasted until dark, and then both sides returned to their camps to prepare to continue fighting at dawn the next day.
But it was a lonely battle!
In the middle of the night that day, Wang Yuanya was woken up by Yan Anxun and Zhang Xiaolan, who told her to pack her luggage and prepare to run away.
Ask why?
Only then did we know that the leaders of the various rebel armies had already seen the heavy casualties suffered by their soldiers during the daytime fighting. Taking advantage of the night, they secretly took their men and fled!
That is to say...
If Wang Yuanya doesn't escape now, she will find that there are not many people left when she wakes up tomorrow morning.
