Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

"Kill..."

When the rebels all over the mountains and plains suddenly shouted and fought out, the officers and soldiers who were desperately fighting for the spoils were all dumbfounded. What was going on?

"Mom, run quickly..."

The one who reacted quickly screamed in horror, threw away the trophies in his hands, and ran back.

Many officers and soldiers also reacted from the shock. They were instantly frightened to death. They hurriedly threw away everything in their hands, spread their legs and ran back desperately. No one thought of resisting at all.

There was a one-sided situation on the battlefield. More than 300,000 officers and soldiers fled desperately, and more than 100,000 rebels roared and chased them behind. This situation was just like the previous situation when the officers and soldiers were chasing the rebels, but now it was completely reversed. .

On the high platform of the former military position, Sun Chuanting, who was so proud just now, was so frightened that his face was pale and bloodless, his lips were trembling, and he was at a loss.

There was no need for soldiers to report, just the roar of killing that echoed through the sky, and you knew that the rebels were back.

He really didn't want to believe this was true, but through the monocular, he saw the rebels all over the mountains and plains wielding swords, driving more than 300,000 chaotic officers and soldiers into a panic like driving ducks.

He even saw the three chief military officers Gao Jie, Hu Dawei and Zuo Liangyu running wildly on their horses under the protection of their own soldiers, looking very embarrassed.

"It's over..."

Sun Chuanting was about to cry but had no tears. No matter how powerful he was, facing the current situation, the best and smartest reaction was to grease his feet and run away, but could he run away?

Even if he escapes back, if the emperor doesn't cut off his head, he will be impeached by all the officials, and he will eventually either die of illness or old age in prison. Rather than die in battle, it is better to die in battle, and still have a good reputation of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and dying in battle.

"General Xu, you should withdraw with your troops as soon as possible. Please give me a message. I am ashamed of my high hopes for the emperor. I will only be loyal to the death in battle..."

Sun Chuanting was already determined to die, but he didn't forget to remind Xu Yu, asking him to lead his troops to run away and explain the funeral arrangements.

"Your Majesty the Governor, Yu Ye has no shame to go back and face the Emperor. This is a life and death battle. There is still a chance to save the defeat. I will lead my troops to stop the rebels. Your Majesty the Governor will be responsible for gathering the troops and resisting on the spot."

Xu Yu yelled at Sun Chuanting, who had a look of despair on his face, jumped off the high platform in a hurry, and issued a series of orders to his subordinates who were sitting on the ground near the high platform.

He ordered the troops to deploy urgently around the high platform and set up three arc-shaped defensive formations. All the cannons were set up inside the arc-shaped defensive formations, the guns were loaded, and the bombardiers placed grenades in preparation for battle.

The engineer company urgently installed wooden fences, horse fences, bamboo blades and other obstacles in front of the arc defense formation to provide cover for the combat troops as much as possible.

The most powerful enemy of the Ming Dynasty was the Qing Empire in the north. In order to deal with the Eight Banners Cavalry, which was known as invincible in the field, Zhu Youjian racked his brains.

Encounters with the Eight Banners cavalry in the wild are inevitable. In order to block the terrifying impact of the cavalry, each army has one or even several engineer companies. In daily training, the engineer companies not only practice digging trenches, erecting simple bridges, etc. , the most important thing is specialized training for the Eight Banners cavalry charging at full speed.

Making simple horse-rejecting fences, horse traps, and using sharpened bamboo to lay out bamboo blade arrays are all obstacles set up against the full-speed charge of war horses. They are not very effective against people, but in this kind of crisis At the critical moment of life and death, if you can stop it, it counts. As for the soldiers on the front line, it is also a kind of psychological comfort.

Logistics auxiliaries are busy transporting ammunition to ensure sufficient ammunition supply. Although they are logistics auxiliaries, they have received all conventional military training and are ready to participate in battles at any time. Therefore, they will act as a reserve team for reinforcements at critical times.

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a while before he stamped his foot violently, stared with red eyes, clenched his fists, and roared with a ferocious expression.

Even Xu Yu, who could have run away without having to bear any responsibility, stayed and fought hard. What did he, the governor of the three sides with no choice, have to worry about? I am fighting for my life with Li Zicheng.

Under his order, three hundred soldiers were ordered to intercept the fleeing soldiers. As long as Xu Yu's Royal First Regiment could stop the rebels' crazy attack and give him time to breathe, he would still have a chance to make a comeback.
