Chapter 370: Let's see who's more ruthless
Chapter 370 to see who is more ruthless
He didn't dodge, the steel knife slashed over the right side of his body, leaving a deep scar, but his left hand wrapped around Liu Zongmin's neck, his weak right arm was barely raised, and the steel knife wrapped around his hand cut Liu Zongmin's arm.
This is not over, Nie Yang suddenly laughed and bit down on Liu Zongmin's neck.
Crazy, really crazy.....
When has Liu Zongmin ever seen such a style of play. The steel knife in his hand fell to the ground, and the huge fist kept beating back, but Nie Yang just didn't let go.
At this time, Liu Zongmin was finally afraid, he sifted the other party's arm, broke it hard, shrank down, and rolled forward with strength. Touching the wound on his neck, blood poured out, Liu Zongmin slowly stepped back, "Mad Dog....."
"Hey...... I said, I'm going to kill you today......"
Nie Yang smiled, his smile full of anger. He wanted to rush up and continue biting, but found that he could only move his body slowly.
I'm so tired! Liu Zongmin was also afraid, so he continued to retreat, and after a while, a team of people rushed in from the mouth of the alley, and Liu Zongmin yelled, "Come here, chop this guy for Lao Tzu ....."
Liu Zongmin secretly swore in his heart that he couldn't let Nie Yang leave alive, but sometimes the heavens didn't fulfill people's wishes. At this fateful moment, a group of people dressed in people's clothes rushed over from the other side and snatched Nie Yang away. Can't forget Nie Yang's eyes, Liu Zongmin believes that this person will definitely become a disaster in the future. It's a pity that the battle in Taojiaying is chaotic, and it is not easy to find Nie Yang again.
After three hours of fierce fighting, the Taojia camp was finally taken by the peasant army. However, Liu Zongmin and Zong Lin did not feel the slightest joy, in this small Taojiaying village, the peasant army had lost a little too much. What the two didn't know was that because they didn't take Taojiaying Village in time, they also added a bit of uncertainty to the battle behind.
In Wanqiu Town, Jin Shifeng leaned against the thick wall, and he no longer had a trace of a general's demeanor. The clothes and armor on his body were a little torn, and his body was dirty. The attack of the thieves is becoming more and more fierce, and it seems that the thieves also know that time is pressed and want to take Wanqiu Town as soon as possible.
Qiao Beiming took care of the wounds on his body, looking a little tired. When the battle came to this point, he was really tired, and the tiredness in his heart was even more unbearable. Now that the Jingying army has suffered heavy losses, all it can do is to hold Wanqiu Town, and the territory outside has already been taken away by thieves. Qiao Beiming felt that now that he had reached the limit, as long as the rogues increased their offensive efforts a little, the line of defense that he held in his heart might be breached. Sitting next to Jin Shifeng, he took the water bag and poured it into his mouth. The water in the bag was already cold, and Qiao Beiming still drank it happily, as if it was a strong sip of old wine, which warmed his heart, "Lao Jin, I don't know if we really have to explain here." ”
Jin Shifeng stretched out his hand and pressed Qiao Beiming's shoulder, his eyes became more serious, "Old Qiao, don't be discouraged, as long as we hold on, there is still hope for everything." At least for now, the pressure on the north side is very small, and it seems that Nie Yang's guy didn't let us down...... As long as the thieves can't put pressure on us from three directions at the same time, we can still defend this Wanqiu Town for a day or two......."
"Really?" Qiao Beiming shook his head a little bitterly, Shou, maybe it can, but in the end, I'm afraid the casualties will be very heavy. To be honest, Qiao Beiming is different from Jin Shifeng, he is a native of the south, but Jin Shifeng was transferred from Xuanhua Mansion. Jin Shifeng has experienced a lot of vicious battles, but Qiao Beiming can't. In the past two days, looking at familiar and unfamiliar faces, constantly falling in front of him, he felt that he was going crazy.
As he spoke, the rumbling drums sounded again, and the peasant army in the distance pounced in a compact formation, and a strong man in the crowd roared loudly with a look of anger. A gust of wind Wang Yan, did this guy personally lead the troops to fight? It seems that the rogues have really lost their patience.
"Report ..... Report...... Two generals, there are a large number of soldiers and horses in the southeast direction are approaching Wanqiu Town, looking at the outfit, it should be the thief Li Zicheng's men and horses....." The voice of the scout, like a sharp blade, stabbed into Qiao Beiming's chest fiercely. Qiao Beiming only felt that his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Li Zicheng? It seems that he has finally retreated from Yuhang, but Li Zicheng's attack on Wanqiu Town is not in the plan. Now it's barely coping, if you add Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses, is there still a way to live? Qiao Beiming's face turned pale, and the last trace of courage in his heart was ruthlessly dispersed. The scout's voice was not small, and the words just now fell into everyone's ears, and the consequences can be imagined.
Many people are like Qiao Beiming, their faces are bloodless, and their eyes are full of despair. Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses, but they are known as the most capable under Gao Yingxiang, and Xu Beichuan, Li Yangchun, and Wang Yan have no roots compared to Li Zicheng. It's already difficult, and there is any hope for dealing with such a powerful thief?
Jin Shifeng glared at the scout with hatred, but it was too late to blame him now. According to this posture, I am afraid that before Li Zicheng fights, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp will collapse on their own.
"What kind of expression do you have, cheer up Lao Tzu, since Li Zicheng can come, the Xuanfu army of the Iron Governor must be not far behind, we just need to hold on until the Inspector leads the troops to arrive, this battle may not have no chance of winning!"
Jin Shifeng dragged Qiao Beiming up and roared loudly, Qiao Beiming was still a little confused, and shook his head gently, "You're right, but the question is how do we hold out until the overseer leads the troops to arrive..... Look at what's going on...... The brothers are already very tired, and the casualties are not small, but the thief soldier is getting more and more frustrated, and now with that Li Zicheng, it is difficult......"
"Old Qiao, you wake me up" Jin Shifeng patted Qiao Beiming's cheek vigorously and roared loudly: "We still have a chance, the pressure on the north is not great now, we can completely give up Wanqiu Town and fight our way out of the encirclement from the north." When the battle comes to this point, those thieves will not let us go easily, and they will inevitably chase after us, we just need to retreat slowly, and I believe that the overseer will find a way to meet us when he gets the news....... Withdraw from the north, this is our opportunity......"
Jin Shifeng didn't give Qiao Beiming time to think at all, he pushed Qiao Beiming, pulled out his saber, and shouted loudly: "Open the stone camp..... Zuotun Camp ..... Stay and resist us for a while, and the rest of the people will follow General Qiao to withdraw from the north......"
"Old Gold..... You ....." Qiao Beiming looked at Jin Shifeng's blurred back, and was a little choked. If you are still hesitant at this time, is you still a man? Taking a long breath, he roared loudly: "What are you still stunned for, go and inform the generals of the various departments, and break through from the north in half an hour.......
To the south of Wanqiu Town, on the long official road, thousands of soldiers and horses have been strangled together. Although the resistance of the officers and soldiers was still fierce, Wang Yan still felt a little different, and it seemed that the number of people was much smaller. Looking at the smoke in the town, his eyes narrowed, no, they were going to run. After reacting, Wang Yan ordered all the troops to attack with all their might, and even urged: "Brothers, work hard, the officers and soldiers want to flee and kill...... Kill the officers and soldiers, and the king will be rewarded......"
"Ho ho ...... Kill" The leaders of the peasant army were shocked, how could they let go of this good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. After two days of fierce fighting in Wanqiu Town, how could these officers and soldiers escape easily?
Finally, the peasant army broke into Wanqiu Town from the west, and everything was as Wang Yan thought, and the remaining main force of the Beijing camp had withdrawn from the north. Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin, if he can take down the Taojia camp in time and block the northern part of Wanqiu Town, why is this so? As for why the officers and soldiers didn't flee directly to the east, it is easy to explain, and in the direction of due east, didn't they crash into Li Zicheng's arms?
Jin Shifeng didn't know how he escaped from Wanqiu Town, and after a fierce battle, the whole person was dizzy, and even the direction was a little blurred. At this time, Wang Yan and the others finally understood that the officers and soldiers of Wanqiu Town would break through at this time, because Li Zicheng's army had come over.
For Li Zicheng, Wang Yanyan has a lot of complaints. He worked hard to bring people to fight for two or three days, and finally Li Zicheng came to pick up the cheap. Rush? Where can they rob Li Zicheng's people, not to mention that Li Zicheng still has a well-trained cavalry under his hands. Although the area around Wanqiu Town is not conducive to cavalry mobility, no matter how bad the cavalry is, it is still four legs, which is better than running on two legs.
I worked hard to make wedding dresses for others, and I was a mother. Wang Yan couldn't be reconciled, so he said angrily: "Chase, catch up, we must not let Li Zicheng's people rush to us." ”
Sometimes things backfire, Wang Yan has worked very hard, but after all, he can't compare to Li Zicheng's new force. Li had come from the east, and he only needed to turn north to cut off the retreat of the Beijing camp. And Wang Yan can only chase after Jingying's ass. However, Li Zicheng is different from Wang Yan, he doesn't have any intention of attacking.
"Brothers, please also restrain your subordinates, this time our army must fight quickly, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, we must leave the battle before noon tomorrow and retreat to Yuqian" Li Zicheng said seriously, the momentum that was unintentionally revealed, people did not dare to refute.
With Li Zicheng's instructions, Lu Weiliang, Li Yan and others led soldiers and horses to cross Batu Town in the north. Batu Town is thirty miles northeast of Wanqiu Town, and if the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp want to evacuate safely, they must pass near Batu Town. Since Li Zicheng had already sent troops to Batu Town before the Beijing camp evacuated Wanqiu Town, it was natural that Qiao Beiming's soldiers and horses were stopped in Batu Town.
Jin Shifeng's life and death are uncertain, and all the courage at the moment is pressed on Qiao Beiming. At this time, Qiao Beiming had no other ideas, and now it was a road in Huashan, either to break through, or to be trapped and die in Batu Town by this group of rogues.
Chongzhen's fourth year Shangyuan Festival should have been a good day for fireworks and moon appreciation and poetry, but the western part of Zhejiang was full of gunsmoke and war. The soldiers of the Beijing camp who had just escaped from Wanqiu Town did not rest for long before they ran into Lu Weiliang and Li Yan and others from Batu Town. Although there are not many thieves in Batu Town, it is tantamount to encountering a roadblock for the soldiers of the Beijing camp who are physically and mentally exhausted.
At the end of the day, Zheng Guosong took the lead in attacking, and Li Yan, Xu Beichuan and others also went out to dominate Tuzhen and outflanked them from the flank. For the remnants of the Beijing camp of more than 15,000 people, the only thing they can do is to try their best to resist and secure their destiny.
The battle of Batu Town seems to be unsuspenseful, everything is just a matter of time. However, Wang Yan was not happy, he hurried and hurried, but he was still preempted by Li Zicheng's men.
In Xishui Town, Zhejiang, when the battle in Batu Town was in full swing, Tiemo also led 30,000 elite soldiers to Xishui Town. Xishui Town is not far from Batu Town, and the news has already been passed on there. Tie Mo's expression was serious, and Xu Zhixin was even more anxious.
"Inspector, what are you hesitating about, please send troops to dominate Tu Town quickly!" How could Xu Zhixin not be anxious? These soldiers in the Beijing camp are all from the Wei State Mansion, and it will be very difficult to recruit them if they are gone.
Now that the six ministries have seized power, and all places are dead, how easy is it to re-recruit and train soldiers? It can be said that the loss of these family funds is a little less, and it is difficult to replenish it. The Xu family is supported by these soldiers and horses, without these soldiers and horses, wouldn't it be the same as the British Gongzhang family in Beizhili, reduced to idle aristocrats?
Tie Mo didn't speak, Xu Zhixin couldn't help but be a little anxious, and her voice raised a little, "Supervisor, don't forget, these 30,000 Jingying brothers are also working hard in Wanqiu Town for your plan, and now, do you want to see death and not save it?" ”
Wang Zuohang hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, eldest lady, my family supervisor doesn't mean this!" ”
Tiemo nodded, looking at Xu Zhixin with a solemn expression, "Miss, think about it, even if we rush to Batu Town desperately now, how many people can we rescue?" You must know that although it is not far from here, it will take at least an hour to travel from here to Batu Town....."
"That ....." Xu Zhixin bit her pink lip, she also knew that what Tiemo said was the truth, an hour, under the current battle situation, when she arrived, maybe the daylily would be cold. However, psychologically, I really can't accept Tiemo's demeanor and tone of voice.
"Hmph, we can't be hung by the thieves, I think Li Zicheng is also looking forward to us going to Batu Town to eat ashes, since this is the case, we are not in a hurry to go to Batu Town, let's beat Li Zicheng first!"
After that, Tiemo raised his voice and said: "Zhou Dingshan and Olge listen to the order, gather your cavalry that can move, I don't care what method you use, I will beat Li Zicheng's ass and swell it after half an hour......"
"Whoa!"
Tiemo's idea is very simple, he is not in a hurry to go to Batu Town. Didn't you Li Zicheng want to take the sheep and fight the soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion? Then I'll take advantage of your lack of main force to beat you Li Zi's own department. You Li Zicheng want to be iron-hearted to the Jingying near Thanos Tu Town, then I will hit you Li Zicheng hard, let's see who is more ruthless.
For this reason, Tiemo did not hesitate to risk a large-scale mobilization of cavalry in this area. In the area of Xishui Town, the soil is soft, there are many rivers, and the terrain is not familiar, so it is very risky to rashly use cavalry on a large scale. But in order to put pressure on Li Zicheng as soon as possible, he couldn't care about this.
