Just when Li Zicheng, Li Yan and others were in their hearts, a bad news came again: "King Chuang...... The brothers in Niutou Village met the Jiangning army that had rushed to reinforce them. Hao Zhang's brigade ordered the villain to tell the king, the Jiangning army's offensive was too fierce, and the brothers couldn't stand it? ”

"The reinforcements of the Jiangning Army, they came so quickly, you must know that we have only been fighting with them for less than an hour!" Li Zicheng muttered.

Li Yan said: "King Chuang, I heard that all the troops of the Jiangning Army who go out are all contacted once an hour except for the night, if they are not contacted beyond the time, there is a problem, it seems that the people behind must have noticed something, so they immediately sent people to reinforce." ”

"The Jiangning army is really a dog's nose, and whenever something goes wrong, they will desperately rush to reinforcements." Li Guo on the side muttered a little sourly.

Li Zicheng said to Li Yan with some anxiety: "Military advisor, Niutou Village is only less than twenty miles away from us, and if the Jiangning Army is fast, it will be a matter of a quarter of an hour, so Niutou Village must not lose, otherwise our plan today will be wasted." ”

Li Yan nodded but did not speak, he knew very well in his heart that the matter was far more serious than what Li Zicheng said.

To put it bluntly, the reason why he and Li Zicheng planned this ambush battle was to break the myth of the invincibility of the Jiangning army, if Niutou Village was captured by the Ming army, they would have to retreat with the whole army, not only would the plan of these days be completely abandoned, but it would also be a huge blow to the morale of the breaking army.

"Can't let that happen."

Li Yan suddenly said: "King Chuang, Niutou Village must not be lost, at least not until we eat the Bailai people opposite." If you want to hold Niutou Village, you must send reinforcements to reinforce Hao Shaoqi. ”

Li Zicheng also knew that what the two sides were grabbing now was time, so he made a decision without thinking: "In this way, let Li go over with his headquarters." ”

"That's fine!"

Li Yan nodded, turned his head to Li Guo beside him, and said, "General Li, you immediately bring your headquarters over to reinforce Hao Shaoqi, and you have to hold on for at least two hours, understand?" ”

Li Guo gritted his teeth: "Please rest assured, if I can't stop the Ming army, I won't come back." ”

"That's not going to work!"

Li Yan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly went to the color path.

"If it is not violated, the general should save his useful body, and you must know that King Chuang is inseparable from you."

What are you kidding, who in the army doesn't know that Li Zicheng, who has no children and no daughters, has been dependent on Li Guo for many years, and has long regarded him as his own son, if something happens to Li Guo, Li Zicheng will have to go crazy.

"Don't worry, Li Guo should know."

After Li Guo answered, he quickly led his troops to leave.

After Li Guo left, Li Yan said to Li Zicheng with a solemn expression: "King Chuang, we can't delay any longer, the Ming army on the hillside must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise if we wait for their reinforcements to arrive, our efforts will be wasted." ”

Li Zicheng's face was also very ugly: "I understand!" ”

After saying that, he turned to a guard behind him and said, "You go and tell Li Zongmin and Li Laiheng, I will give them another half an hour, if they can't take the hillside, I will personally lead people up." ”

After hearing Li Zicheng's words, Liu Zongmin knew that Li Zicheng was in a hurry, and he himself felt that his face was hot, and the two of them led thousands of people to attack a small hillside, and they didn't fight for half an hour, which was too incompetent.

At this time, Liu Zongmin and Li Laiheng didn't care about grabbing the merits, and after a while, the two decided to attack in turn, otherwise if they couldn't eliminate those Jiangning troops on the opposite side within the specified time, they really didn't have the face to stay in the righteous army.

In order to urge the rogues to fight, Liu Zongmin personally stepped forward to supervise the battle, he held a ghost-headed single knife and patrolled around the team, but whenever he saw someone who was afraid of him, he immediately went down with a knife and hacked people to death.

After casually hacking to death a hungry man who had slowed down, Liu Zongmin shouted: "Rush up, catch up with those hungry people!" Keep rushing ...... Don't stop! ”

In the midst of his roar, the thieves of the old camp also howled and held their weapons, and continued to swarm in the crowd.

After rushing a few steps, he heard a sharp whistle in front of him, and a burst of fire flashed in the trench in front of him.

Liu Zongmin walked to a place and saw that the thief who had been shot in the stomach was rolling around and screaming, and he quickly recognized that this thief was the sentry under his command who was famous for his bravery.

Just now, he hacked to death several hungry people who were afraid of him, and he was extremely vicious.

But at this moment, he had already thrown aside the shield in his hand with a large hole, and his hands were tightly clutched to his stomach, trying to squeeze the blue-gray intestines back.

After seeing Liu Zongmin, he desperately stretched out his blood-stained hand to Liu Zongmin: "Master Liu, save me, save me......"

Seeing the tragic situation of this thief, Liu Zong's scalp was a little numb, this thief he was familiar with, he was brave and fierce on weekdays, and the scars on his body were almost countless, but now he was only hit by a lead bullet and shouted so miserably, no different from those hungry people.

Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth, raised the ghost head knife and swung it down, hacking the thief to death and shouting: "Keep rushing, who dares to stop Lao Tzu to hack him to death!" ”

On the other side not far away, Li Laiheng also desperately drove Qingzhuang and the thieves towards the hillside like crazy, they now firmly believe that even if these more than 100 people are immortals, they will definitely not be able to last too long.

In fact, Liu Zongmin and Li Laiheng were right, as time went by, the cavalry on the hillside really couldn't hold out for too long.

The power of hot weapons is indeed not comparable to cold weapons, but then the consumption of weapons and materials has also increased geometrically, after nearly half an hour of fierce fighting, the cavalry has not much ammunition left, especially the large-scale throwing weapons of 10,000 enemies have been exhausted.

"Bang!"

After a cavalryman pulled the trigger and knocked a rogue who had almost rushed in front of him to the ground, an arrow from the front suddenly struck him in the cheek, and he let out a muffled grunt and fell to the ground.

"Shoot the arrow...... Hurry!"

"Shoot the ......"

As the distance closed, arrows shot out of the crowd, constantly falling around the trench, although the cavalry were wearing fine armor, the general arrows did not cause much damage to them, but only the cheeks and necks without any protection were their only weakness, under the dense rain of arrows, from time to time there were cavalry arrows, with the number of casualties continued to increase, this temporary defense line also began to crumble.
