Chapter 364: Cavalry Pursuit (Second Update!) )

After Liu Jinzhong struggled for a while, he gritted his teeth and decided to continue to explore further.

He was also known for his bravery in battle in the Great Western Army, but now he is becoming more and more cautious.

It's not going to go on like this.

Liu Jinzhong gave the order, and the whole army continued to march.

This order was passed on, and the soldiers were full of complaints.

They rushed to the front as cannon fodder in every battle, finally gaining a chance to breathe, and were forced to go out of the city to find out the enemy's situation.

What is there to inquire about this enemy? Even if you really want to investigate, you can just send dozens of scouts out.

What the? Dozens of scouts did not dare to approach the enemy army?

Then a few thousand of them should get close to the enemy?

If it really starts, how can they fight tens of thousands of people?

This is simply not treating them as human beings, not taking their lives seriously.

His own general is really, he is just a coward, and Governor Hong is what he says, and he doesn't dare to mention it at all.

Suffering these low-level soldiers, they can only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

But now that the order had been given, they had no other way but to do it. If you really openly disobey military orders, you will be punished severely, and you will not be able to keep your head.

Let's take one step at a time, and just run when the situation is not good.

......

......

The Western Army on the other side also noticed the sudden slaughter of the Green Battalion Army.

It's just that the commander of this Western Army is not Zhang Wenxiu, but Zhang Dingguo.

He marched all the way from Baoning to Weicheng, and sent sentry horses to inquire about the news in a cautious manner.

I never thought that the sentry cavalry had not returned, but the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army took the lead.

In this way, Wei Cheng should now be in the hands of the Qing army.

Zhang Dingguo did not panic at all, on the contrary, he wanted to fight with the Qing army very much at this moment.

The tragic situation of Baoning made him eager for revenge, and it was naturally better for the Qing army to take the initiative to send it to the door at this moment.

"Assault of the whole army!"

Zhang Dingguo did not hesitate to give the order.

This western army was mainly cavalry, so it was able to charge in a short time.

Seeing that the western army here had already gained momentum, and there were thousands of horsemen galloping, Liu Jinzhong was almost scared.

What kind of grudge is this?

Although he has now surrendered to the Qing army, he is his own master.

It's all mixed with a mouthful of food, as for it?

Of course, Liu Jinzhong doesn't plan to step forward to reason with the other party, because the other party obviously doesn't reason with you at all.

Now don't hit the swollen face and put on a fat man's face to start fighting, spread the girl and run.

"Withdraw!"

Liu Jinzhong made a most realistic choice.

The only consolation is that the 5,000 men he selected were all cavalry, so they ran quite fast.

Of course, the Western Army under the command of Zhang Dingguo pursued faster.

Although there is a gap of several hundred steps between the two sides, the gap is constantly narrowing.

Zhang Dingguo gave his death this time, and the cavalry of the Western Army also chased after him with all his might.

It didn't take long for the Western Army forward to catch up with the part of the Green Battalion Army that was lagging behind.

When they caught up, there was a burst of slashing, and the green battalion soldiers screamed and wailed.

Anyone who knows a little about cavalry tactics understands that the two armies must not be intimidated in a duel, and the side that is instigated will definitely lose very badly.

Not to mention turning around and running.

This is tantamount to exposing the back completely to the other party to cut, which is extremely stupid.

But Liu Jinzhong really made this stupid order.

The Green Camp Army originally had the strength to fight, but now it has completely become a lamb to the slaughter, and it has no power to resist.

What's even more terrifying is that the Green Battalion soldiers have begun to flee for their lives in an orderly manner, so that the pursuit of the Western cavalry is simpler.

Catch up, swing the knife and cut down, and make a big bloody hole in the back.

In this way, even if these soldiers are not killed immediately, they will eventually die from blood loss.

In a short period of time, the Green Battalion soldiers have completely become headless flies, and the casualty rate is also rising.

In the process of escaping, Liu Jinzhong glanced back, it didn't matter at this glance, but he saw clearly who the other party's general was.

Zhang Dingguo!

No one in the Great Western Army knew that this prince was a rare general, and even Zhang Xianzhong held him in the palm of his hand like a treasure.

But wasn't Zhang Dingguo stationed in Daba Mountain, how could he suddenly appear in Weicheng?

Liu Jinzhong felt that his head was dizzy, and he couldn't understand it at all.

Of course, he doesn't need to think much about it now, just run.

The Western Army was frantically harvesting their lives, and the blood completely stimulated the fury in their hearts.

These Green Battalion soldiers were originally members of the Western Army, but now they are killing their own compatriots for the sake of the tiger.

These people are even more hateful than Tartars!

How long have they been since they surrendered to the Tartars, and they have an ugly money rat tail behind their heads, and they are not ashamed but proud.

Such people do not deserve sympathy at all.

Kill, kill, kill!

......

......

"Open the gates, open the gates!"

Finally, Liu Jinzhong led his troops to flee outside Wei City, screaming desperately.

The Qing army at the head of the city apparently also noticed the pursuing western army, and after some hesitation, they still opened the city gate.

Liu Jinzhong rushed in first, and a group of ruined divisions rushed in.

Fortunately, the Western Army did not seem to have any intention of chasing into the city, and stopped at a distance of five hundred paces from the city wall.

Liu Jinzhong can be regarded as picking up a life.

He ordered someone to count the personnel, and found that there were only 3,000 people left, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He lost 2,000 people without even fighting, how could he still hold his head up in front of Hong Chengchou.

But he still has to face Hong Chengchou, which is a matter of time or time.

It's better to go late than early, Liu Jinzhong didn't care about freshening up and went towards the yamen where Hong Chengchou was.

Hong Chengchou also heard the news that Liu Jinzhong was hunted down and killed by the Western Army at this moment.

It's just that he didn't expect Liu Jinzhong to be so miserable.

When Liu Jinzhong, who was covered in blood, walked into the house, Hong Chengchou, who was old and serious, couldn't help but gasp.

"General Liu, you are..."

"The last general is incompetent, and I ask the governor to punish him."

Liu Jinzhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed sadly.

"Get up and talk."

Hong Chengchou sighed and stepped forward to help Liu Jinzhong up.

"Thank you, Governor."

Liu Jinzhong made a grateful look, but in his heart, he greeted the eighteenth generation of Hong Chengchou's ancestors.

He said in his heart, Hong Lao Thief is not acting here. If it weren't for you, the old thief, who forced Lao Tzu out of the city to tempt, how could Lao Tzu be so embarrassed and almost lose his life.

You don't have to do anything in the city, and now you're a good person who cares for your subordinates.

Phew!

"Who is the leader of these western thieves, has General Liu seen clearly, why are they so ferocious?"

Now Hong Chengchou is very concerned about who the commander of this western army is. Zhang Kewang can basically rule out that with his character, it is impossible to fight such a hearty pursuit battle.

"It's Zhang Dingguo!"

Liu Jinzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Even if he turns into ashes, he will not admit his mistake!" ”
