Chapter 97: The remnants of the army are defeated

"Kill!"

"Put down your weapons, squat on the ground, and don't kill those who descend!"

One chased and one fled, the middle area was caught up by the People's Army Ming soldiers were killed, the Ming soldiers who desperately fled forward were cut down by the soldiers of the People's Army who caught up, some Ming soldiers who gave up and fled turned around and wanted to resist, but found that the weapons in their hands had already been lost, and there were also many Ming soldiers who saw that they had no hope of escaping and wanted to live, so they squatted on the ground and surrendered.

The KPA soldiers passed the Ming soldiers who were squatting on the ground and shivering, and continued to chase the Ming soldiers who fled in front.

Longchuan Qianhu, Heyuan Qianhu and dozens of Qianhu's personal guards or officers rode horses and ran in the front, as the commander of the Ming army, Longchuan Qianhu and Heyuan Qianhu of course wanted to block the pursuing enemy, but the defeat was like a mountain, at this time they were no longer able to command the defeated subordinates, now they have only one idea, hurry back to the Longchuan scene, and then gather some soldiers, with Longchuan County to resist the People's Army.

In the pursuit, the number of Ming soldiers who continued to flee became fewer and fewer, and it had been reduced to less than 1,000 people, but fortunately, Longchuan County was close at hand, and they finally escaped with their lives in the pursuit of the People's Army.

"Open the gates! Open the gates! Adults want to go into town! ”

There is no need for Longchuan Qianhu and Heyuan Qianhu to say that their personal guards have already taken the initiative to shout to the Ming soldiers on the city wall.

At this moment, there are more than 100 people gathered on the south city wall of Longchuan County, and there are a small number of defenders of Longchuan County, most of whom are the guards of the conscripted large families and ordinary young people, and it is also because the three thousand households led more than 3,000 Ming troops to pursue the People's Army, and some other "big men" in Longchuan County and Longchuan County have been waiting for the victory of the army on the south city wall.

But now, what they saw was the scene of the Ming army retreating to Longchuan County, and in the distance, it seemed that they could still see the "chaotic people" pursuing the Ming army.

In fact, when they saw the defeated Ming army in the distance, many people said goodbye to the county magistrate of Longchuan, immediately went down the city wall and went home, ready to pack up the gold and silver and take their families to leave Longchuan County while the People's Army was not yet close.

Others can escape, but he can't escape from Longchuan County, and he doesn't dare to make a decision to allow others to leave Longchuan County, so he can only let these businessmen and gentry leave.

Hearing the shouts of the guards of thousands of households outside the city, the people on the city wall knew that the Ming army was outside the city, not the people's army pretending, Longchuan Zhixian hurriedly asked the soldiers to open the city gate, so that the defeated Ming army entered the city, now the defenders of Longchuan County are less than 400 people, and the Ming soldiers are only a few hundred people, if they can collect enough defeated troops, Longchuan County is also likely to resist the attack of the People's Army.

Soon, the city gate opened, and the Ming soldiers who ran at the forefront followed thousands of households into the city, and many of them collapsed to the ground the moment they entered the city, gasping for breath.

"I finally escaped into the city, and my life was saved."

"Fortunately, those who ran fast were killed by thieves."

"What a terrible thief, we were defeated like this, can this Longchuan County hold on?"

The Ming soldier who collapsed on the ground had all kinds of chaotic thoughts in his mind.

The magistrate of Longchuan did not continue to stay on the city wall, he took the initiative to get off the city wall, found Longchuan Qianhu and Heyuan Qianhe, and asked the two how to resist the pursuing People's Army.

At this time, Longchuan Qianhu still had the idea of leading the remnants of the defeated army to rely on the city wall to resist the people's army, and Heyuan Qianhu looked at the remnants of the defeated generals who collapsed on the ground and did not even have weapons, and he already understood in his heart that it was not possible to rely on these defeated remnants of the defeated army with no morale to hold Longchuan County.

"Let's withdraw, this city will not be able to hold it." Heyuan Qianhu said to Longchuan Zhixian and Longchuan Qianhu.

Listening to the words of Heyuan Qianhu, and then looking at the soldiers on the ground, Longchuan Zhixian and Longchuan Qianhu also gave up the idea of sticking to Longchuan County in their hearts.

The magistrate of Longchuan should have stayed in Longchuan County, but now he thinks that more than 3,000 Ming troops have been defeated by the enemy, and he is unable to hold Longchuan County at all.

Just when the magistrate of Longchuan County was discussing with two thousand households, the People's Army had already come to the outside of Longchuan County, worried that the People's Army would rush into the city, and when all the Ming soldiers who had fled had not fled into the city, the south gate was closed, and hundreds of Ming soldiers were locked outside the city.

These Ming soldiers who were supposed to be outside the city, looking at the closed city gate and the people's army catching up behind, suddenly became angry and scolded the people inside the gate and on the city wall.

"Open the city gate quickly, Lao Tzu hasn't entered the city yet."

"If you don't let me enter the city, I'll join the thieves directly, and you will wait for me."

Outside the city is the People's Army that is preparing to encircle and then attack Longchuan County, and the magistrate and two thousand households in the city have decided to flee from Longchuan County, and in order for them to escape successfully, they have to leave most of the people to hold on to the city to resist the People's Army for a while, so they can't tell all the soldiers about the evacuation of Longchuan County.

"Hurry, hurry up to the city wall, and only by guarding Longchuan County can we continue to live." Heyuan Qianhu immediately shouted to the soldiers, and the guards all took action to drive the soldiers who collapsed to the ground to the city wall.

Driven by the guards and officers, the soldiers had to drag their tired bodies up the city wall, preparing to defend the city wall with their bare hands, and there was not much thought of fighting in their hearts.

Some soldiers wanted to escape, but they did not dare to act, the city gates were closed, where could they flee, if the city was broken, they would surrender directly to the people's army, and they would not be able to save their lives.

Just when the soldiers climbed the city wall, the magistrate, Qianhu and others immediately rushed to the other side of Longchuan County, and the magistrate and other officials had to go home and leave with their families, and the homes of Qianhu, officers, personal guards and others were not in Longchuan County, they could leave directly, and they had to flee quickly while the People's Army had not surrounded Longchuan County.

Outside the city, the People's Army's firearms unit has just arrived, the People's Army is preparing to launch an attack on Longchuan County, the People's Army on both sides of Longchuan County has completed the encirclement on three sides, and when the north city wall is being encircled, the team of the county magistrate left the north gate and fled to the north.

Watching a team leave the city and flee north, the People's Army, which was tasked with surrounding Longchuan County, quickly sent a force to pursue this team that should have been there, and the one who ran first could not catch up, and this should be able to catch up if it fell behind.

"Let's go! Come on! The thieves are coming after us! The magistrate of Longchuan shouted, but he couldn't change the fact that the People's Army was getting closer and closer to the magistrate's ranks.
