Chapter 121: We Can't Retreat!

The Tu Chief finally came to his senses, and the combat effectiveness of this pro-conscription army was completely different from that of the local Ming army.

With such casualties to continue to fight, he thought before, it was impossible to rush to the hill and catch the little emperor.

Now it seems that it is not easy to even get out of the whole body.

In the rocky terrain of the beach, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers almost lost their ability to run, but their firearms were unexpectedly strong.

If you continue to fight, you will only lose your men and horses in vain.

He suddenly thought that he heard that in this pro-conscription army, there are many generals who are rigorous in managing troops and familiar with battle formations, and they are fighting against him, could it be one of them?

Soon, the chieftain gave the latest order.

Stop continuing the onslaught, fight and retreat, only to stabilize the position, join up with the troops on the western flank, and hold back this officer's army.

After a few quarters of an hour of fierce fighting, the rebels suddenly began to retreat, and Chen Ce, who led his own soldiers to fight in the formation, saw that the local chieftain had gathered his men and horses and slowly retreated to the west.

He quickly realized that the rebels were going to turn their heads and eat Liu Yuanbin, and then fight with him?

Immediately, Chen Ce sneered a few times, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world!

"March! Enter!! ”

He raised his goose-winged knife and roared backwards.

When the pacesetters in the rear saw this, they immediately waved the order flag a few times to convey the order, and in an instant, the drums on the rocky beach sounded loudly, and the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army sorted out their formations and began to rush and shout.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Liu Yuanbin's west side, because he was backstabbed by the rebels and the rocky beach terrain war horses could not be impacted, became the place where the officers and soldiers suffered the most damage.

He saw the flag fluttering in the back, wiped the blood on his face, and shouted, "Withdraw!" We rendezvous with the generals! ”

The cavalry roared and shouted, leaped away from the rebel army formation behind them, stopped in front of the retreating Tu Chieftain troops, and surrounded him with Chen Ce.

The chief was stunned for a moment, and his heart was not good.

In order to escape for his life, the chieftain was also extremely brave, taking the lead, wielding a knife and slashing, the rebels and Liu Yuanbin's cavalry fought together, and it was dark.

When Liu Yuanbin's cavalry was bait, they had already suffered a lot of casualties, and the rebels, inspired by the chieftain, also rose up.

After resisting for a while, Liu Yuanbin temporarily ordered his cavalry to release an opening to frustrate the edge.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers released an escape route, the rebels were in chaos in an instant, but at this time, the part of the rebels on the west side rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Liu Yuanbin in the middle.

The two sides engaged in a scuffle, and Liu Yuanbin kept wielding his saber, cutting off one rebel after another.

Seeing that Liu Yuanbin was in a bitter battle, Chen Ce immediately divided three thousand men and horses to move to the west to meet the part of the retreating cavalry.

......

The place where Zhu Youxiao immediately watched the battle was located in the east of Gangqiu.

There is a cliff on the bottom of the cliff, a deep blue pool of water on one side, and a rugged and winding mountain road on the other, with a very open view.

Zhu Youxiao pressed the imperial sword, his eyes continued to look in several directions, and the loyal Huang Degong led the imperial camp to guard the slope.

This place has almost the entire battlefield in full view.

Zhu Youxiao could see clearly that the battle situation on the rocky beach was scorching, and Chen Ce couldn't pull away for a while.

The Qijin Department on the western flank was also ambushed by the rebels in the mountains, but because they had been prepared in advance, they fought and retreated, and instead led them into the encirclement, and the two sides fought fiercely.

As for the movements of Yu Chongming, Zhu Youxiao sent countless sentry horses to find local mountain people to lead the way, looking for them road by road.

There is no need to think about it, the extravagant Chongming will march with a stop and drums, with only one purpose, that is, to connect with the remaining rebels in Lengshui Pass.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Lengshuiguan had already changed hands half an hour ago.

Just thinking of this, in the path on the side of the valley under his feet, suddenly the drums vibrated loudly, shouting to kill the sky, and Huang Degong was alarmed.

He hurriedly led the imperial battalion soldiers and horses into a battle formation and made a defensive posture.

Zhu Youxiao was still on the hill immediately, his eyes moved slightly, and when he heard the sound of shouting and killing, he came from under his feet, thought for a while, and suddenly understood.

Extravagant Chongming's sword went sideways and did not meet with Lengshui Pass, he abandoned the eight thousand defenders there, but from the mountain path, sneaked around, and went straight to himself.

In the big scuffle ahead, Yu Chongming led his cronies and came to a decapitation operation!

In fact, the current Zhu Youxiao was a little flustered, because he really didn't expect that Yu Chongming would suddenly come to this scene.

There are only more than 5,000 people in the imperial camp, and what Yu Chongming is carrying will definitely be the elite of the rebels, and it is really not necessary to fight!

But what's going on with this increasingly fierce shouting and killing?

"Explore!"

A sentry rode off his post, and soon returned in a hurry, dismounting:

"Your Majesty, the anti-thief extravagant Chongming personally led more than 10,000 rebels from the small road, and met General Zhao, who came from Lengshui Pass, with 3,000 men and horses, and they are fighting fiercely!"

"Zhao Guangrong..."

Zhu Youxiao silently recited this name, his heart tightened, and he couldn't stop groaning.

After taking Lengshui Pass, Zhao Guangrong took a small road to support Chen Ce, but he unexpectedly encountered extravagant Chongming, and was in a bitter battle, with only 3,000 people, himself, do you want to take these 5,000 imperial camps and go out to rescue?

If you fail, you'll be hung up...

Before Zhu Youxiao could make up his mind, when he sat down, the war horse suddenly neighed, and shook his front hooves, like the king of horses, tightening the reins more and more, and roaring.

Before he could speak, the war horse had already had a mind!

Zhu Youxiao's heart was excited, and he subconsciously pulled out the imperial sword, and the shining cold light shone directly into the valley, looked around angrily, and shouted:

"The soldiers of the imperial camp, follow me to lay off and kill the enemy!"

Hearing that the emperor was going to go into battle in person, in addition to worrying, the soldiers in the imperial camp trembled with excitement.

They raised their knives and guns and shouted frantically.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Daming Wansheng! Daming Wansheng! Daming Wansheng!! ”

......

At dusk, the drums of both sides shook the heavens and the earth, and Chen Ce, Qi Jin, Tong Zhonghua and others also had their own strategies to deal with the enemy under the big battle strategy set a few days ago.

They divided the rebels into several pieces, coupled with the unexpected encounter between Yu Chongming and Zhao Guangrong, and on this day, fierce shouts and killings sounded everywhere inside and outside the valley.

Neither Yu Chongming nor Zhao Guangrong expected to meet the enemy here, and they were at a loss for what to do.

After the initial chaos, Yu Chongming soon discovered that this army was not here to stop him, and there were not many of them.

The shouting of killing has already started, and the little emperor must already know it, so there is no need to hide it.

He analyzed the situation on the battlefield, mobilized his troops, and soon surrounded the lonely Zhao Guangrong army in the middle.

Zhao Guangrong only has 3,000 people, but the other party has 10,000 people, and they are all elite soldiers who are not inferior to themselves.

In this battle, Zhao Guangrong was unprepared, and he fought in a confused manner, but he was extremely determined.

Just because he knew in his heart that this rebel army was going to attack the emperor above Gaogang, and if he retreated, it would be equivalent to burying the entire Ming Dynasty!

"I can't retreat, we can't retreat!"

I don't know how long the battle lasted, Zhao Guangrong's hand was trembling even holding the knife, and there were only a dozen family members left around him.

"Dead, all dead..."In the night, Zhao Guangrong looked at the soldiers around him falling one after another, and his heart was dripping blood.

But there is nothing he can do.

Zhao Guangrong stared at the rebels around him like a sea, and a local chief was rushing towards him, but he was powerless to wield his sword and gun, and closed his eyes in resignation.

With a choking thud, the spear stabbed into his chest, bringing out a rush of blood.

Zhao Guangrong was stabbed hard and fell off his horse.

It was also at this time that the last dozen or so pro-soldiers, one after another, died of exhaustion and fell in a pool of blood.

At the last moment of his life, Zhao Guangrong coughed a few times, but he spit out a mouthful of blood, and when he saw him grinning with blood, he smiled happily:

"Your Majesty should be gone at this time, it should be safe..."

"Dad, I didn't embarrass you, I didn't disgrace the Zhao family, I died to protect Your Majesty!"

Zhao Guangrong went to the last breath, and the next moment, all around suddenly shouted to kill Dazhen, and the artillery fire was in the sky.

A cannonball hit the ground in the midst of the rebels, directly smashing into a blood pit.

Before he had time to be happy, he heard the movement and hurriedly led the way into the distance, only to see that the surrounding flames were soaring, but it was the Ming army of the imperial camp who rushed down the high post.

Zhu Youxiao personally led the army, followed by Huang Degong, who were invincible and were slaughtering the rebels to the ground.
