"Sixth brother, they're in." Hong Hu said to Zhang Rui in disbelief. The admiration for Zhang Rui in my heart deepened again.

"I knew that the situation was not the right way, but I dared to come over. The sixth brother is really a god, how did he know that they would definitely come? ”

"Well, that's all there is to them! Now it's up to the brothers. Zhang Rui was still a little worried in his heart, although he occupied the right time and place, but fighting this thing is not just about this.

If this battle can hurt them, then by the end of October everyone will be able to wait quietly and peacefully. And if you can survive next year quietly, everything will be better.

"So, this battle must not only be fought, but it must be fought well. Otherwise, you will definitely be in trouble. ”

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

At this time, there were bursts of gunfire from the bottom of the mountain.

Ma Jiulu looked at the Eight Banners Han Army who came over, and couldn't help but be fascinated by Zhang Rui's judgment in his heart. He said with admiration: "It's really coming." ”

What is the use of an ambush at this time? It's just to catch them off guard. Even if they were prepared, the lethality of the first wave was not optimistic.

More than 1,200 good bullets and muskets were fired in a few breaths. In addition to the nearly 20 percent rate of mute fire, there must be nearly 1,000 rounds of bullets that can be fired.

This raindrop of bullets swept by, even if the mission was worse, nearly 100 casualties were killed.

The total number of Han troops in the Eight Banners is less than 1,000 people, and nearly 10% of them have gone all at once, how can they not be frightened?

But even so, this casualty will not cause them to retreat.

"What's going on up ahead? How could there be so many muskets? Could it be that this gang of bandits is really so extravagant that they only have muskets left? Geng Shangzhi began to feel uneasy in his heart when he heard the gunshot.

"Report, sir. Under attack from the front, we were ambushed by the enemy. If there are a large number of casualties, please ask for instructions on what to do. The herald in front immediately came back and said

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

"Bang..."

The sound of gunfire approached one after another

"This Zhang Rui is really cunning enough, such a road. The cavalry could not be detoured, and a large force of men and horses could not be used. He blocked in front, and could only resist the casualties and rush forward, otherwise he could only retreat. Geng Shang looked straight at the mountains on both sides of the road in the valley and said through gritted teeth

"No need to instruct, let Li Hengfeng resist me. Order Liao Jie and Wang Shengli to press all the men and horses on me. I don't believe they can take care of it, as long as they break through their musket formation, it will be victory. Geng Shang said fiercely

"Yes, sir. I'm going to deliver the order. "The herald was just about to get on his horse.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of suona in the distance. Then there was an overwhelming shout: "There is a medical team when you are injured, and there is a sixth brother when you die." Come on! ”

"What's going on with that voice up front?" Geng Shangzhi listened to the shouts that resounded through the valley and said with some fear.

A moment has passed

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency..."

Geng Shang looked straight over, but it was Liao Jie who really came with a few of his own soldiers on horseback.

Geng Shangzhi's own soldiers saw it and prepared to stop them. But Geng Shangzhi waved his hand and got out of the way.

The horses came galloping very fast. In an instant, Liao Jieren and others came to Geng Shangzhi on horseback.

I saw that Liao Jieren had not fully reached it, so he immediately jumped off the horse and knelt on one knee. said to Geng Shangzhi

"My lord, run away. We were defeated, before the retreating men and horses came. ”

"What's going on? How long will it take to be defeated? Geng Shangzhi said very puzzled and angry

"My lord, there is no time to explain now. Run! Otherwise, it will be difficult to leave when there are many people in a while. Liao Jieren said anxiously

At this time, the sound of "dog tartars defeated" was constantly heard from the direction of the valley.

Sure enough, the direction of the valley kept pouring out of their own people and horses, all of them looking panicked. As if there was a tiger chasing after him, he desperately came in his direction.

There were more and more people who broke out, and the shouts were getting closer.

There is no reason for Geng Shangzhi not to believe it, unless he really wants to fold himself down to see the final result of this "bet".

After seeing Wang Shengli among the retreating people, Geng Shangzhi no longer hesitated. Greeting the people around him, he beat the horse and left.

……

"General, Counselor Geng led them to defeat." The soldiers sent by Sitku to observe the results of the battle returned to report to Sitkudao

"Sure enough, this Zhang Rui is just not easy to deal with. I also believed in his upright wickedness. This time, the lost centaur will see what he does. Sitku said a little helplessly, even a little happily

As for why rejoice? It's very simple, if he is a general and a governor with 2,000 soldiers in the past, he is defeated by Zhang Rui.

However, he defeated Zhang Rui with only 1,000 people. If this spreads, what will the court think? What does the Holy One think?

Now, everyone is defeated. And Geng Shangzhi still said that he should take all the responsibility himself.

Then, I can also find a "black pot" for the defeat with Yang Yingju.

"Have you seen Geng Shangzhi? Did you escape? Sitku asked, a little worried.

Sitku would rather he be killed than captured by Zhang Rui. With his understanding of Zhang Rui, as long as Geng Shangzhi was captured, he couldn't ask him for money. At that time, it was not necessary to make a storm in the city, and the whole city knew about it?

"General Yu, when he left, Counselor Geng also left on horseback. I think that at this time, it is to gather their retreating soldiers and horses in the back. The soldier replied

"That's fine, you call a few people to find Geng Shangzhi. If you find him, tell him, and I'll be waiting for him here. Sitku said to the soldier

"Yes, General. This is where the lowly duty goes. ”

After saying that, the soldiers kowtowed to Sitku and left.

Li Kaifu, who was listening to their conversation on the side, didn't know why, and felt a little relieved to hear that Zhang Rui had defeated Geng Shangzhi.

……

Ten miles away from the battlefield

At this time, Geng Shangzhi was here to gather the Han army banner disciples who fled with him.

"Liao Zuoling, tell me, what's going on here? Why did we lose in such a daze? Seeing Liao Jie not far away, Geng Shang walked straight over and asked unequivocally

"Oh... It's an adult. Liao Jie seemed to have just come back to his senses, and he forgot to kneel.

Seeing this, Geng Shangzhi's personal soldiers wanted to reprimand Liao Jie for not understanding the rules and etiquette, and daring to talk to Geng Shangzhi like this?

However, Geng Shangzhi reached out to stop his own soldiers. Looking at Liao Jieren, who had just come back to his senses, he was not angry, but just asked him again:

"Tell me, what's going on with all this?"
