Chapter 316: Defeated

The road in Langya Ridge is wide and narrow, and if it is blocked in such complex terrain, at this time, although the combat strength of the officers and soldiers in this place is really scum, but in this case, if his side is attacked from inside and outside, it will really be annihilated.

Under the dirt slope, everyone hesitated for a moment.

Li Lei took a deep breath, and finally made this very difficult decision, and said with some bitterness: "Then I have to notify the leaders and let them all pay attention, and then start to retreat......"

That being said, no one actually has a bottom in their hearts. At this time, a message came from a small soldier that the owner of Langjiazhuang led 500 people, killed the village, and forced this side.

In the chaos, not many people had the energy to notice that there was a big Kong Ming lantern, flying from the mountains and forests on the side of Langya Ridge, and gradually drifting through the sky full of smoke.

In Lijiazhuang, it was Li Tianying who first discovered that the rebels suddenly had the tendency to rout and retreat.

Although Hao Jingcheng also fought hard. I went to the wall to observe and so on, but I still didn't understand the general trend of the military formation.

When Li Tianying suddenly came over and told him that the rebels seemed to be retreating, that he had just been assassinated, and that he was still in a state of extreme vigilance, his first reaction was to ask if it would be a fraud.

"They can't play such a trick! With their current military mentality, even if they make such a gesture, they will immediately turn the fake into reality, and it will not take more than half an hour. They themselves will be messed up, and they won't be able to take it! Li Tianying said to Hao Jingcheng with a smile, he also understood the situation on this battlefield very clearly.

Hao Jingcheng was slightly stunned, thinking that the rebels would hold out for a while.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Kong Ming lantern floating in the sky outside the village, and he also understood the possibility of things.

"It's a good time." Hao Jingcheng laughed.

"What do you mean?" Li Tianying asked suspiciously.

Hao Jingcheng explained: "They found out that the officers and soldiers of Maozhou had rushed over, and they should be nearby, and they were frightened!" ”

After a pause, Hao Jingcheng said to Li Tianying: "Master Li, what should I do next?" ”

"Naturally, it's time to kill out!" When Li Tianying heard the news, he was also shocked and said.

"And soldiers?" Hao Jingcheng asked with some confusion.

"One or two thousand people can always make it up!" Li Tianying said with some arrogance. He knew in his heart that this time, his Zhuangzi had formed a mortal enmity with the rebels, if he didn't take advantage of this time to beat the water dogs with a stick and completely cripple the rebels, when the rebels really reacted, it might be really dangerous.

This time, with the help of Hao Jingcheng, he finally got through the current difficulties, but what if next time? The rebels are back, and I'm afraid I won't have such good luck on my side.

So although it is indeed a little difficult now, and the farmers are already having a hard time, at this time Li Tianying still decided to lead the troops to rush and kill for a while.

"Okay, since you've made such a decision, let's all prepare to shout!" Hao Jingcheng said to Li Tianying.

Hao Jingcheng excitedly began to organize those who held the horn.

After a while, he began to shout: "Li Lei has escaped!" ”

"The bacteria bought and escaped!"

"They're going to leave you behind! Look at that! They ran away—"

"The reinforcements of the imperial court have arrived, you are finished!"

After the shouts rang out one after another, everyone began to look back at the situation and found that some people were indeed withdrawing troops and some were leaving, and the momentum of the rout took shape in an instant.

As Li Tianying said, in this case, the momentum of the rout cannot even be collected, and no one can explain to the soldiers that we are a strategic transfer rather than a retreat.

But for Xi Maijun and these people, there is no more room for choice, and if they hesitate any longer, as soon as the officials and troops of the imperial court arrive, under the terrain of Langya Ridge, the whole army will really be wiped out, and the current situation can only be broken by strong men.

I don't know when it began, countless people have begun to shout and run, the louder the rout in the rear, the more urgent the front is to run, the team in front is running too fast, and the team has collapsed and scattered in an instant.

Some generals may still be able to command the henchmen around them, but even they can only let the henchmen leave as soon as possible. The road in Dulonggang was already narrow, and people from the rear rushed up, and suddenly formed a stampede, and some people were squeezed into the water, ditch, and field.

On the road to the west, the team that was ready to block Langjiazhuang was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and on this side, the two doors of Lijiazhuang also opened violently, and Li Tianying and Li Biao each led a thousand people to kill the generals, first rescued the prisoners left outside the village by the rebels, and then began to chase and kill.

The number of people here is no longer a measure of the victory or defeat of the war, the three teams chased all the way, after catching up with the rout, the killing was really like chopping melons and vegetables, and occasionally a small wave of people were blocked under the leadership of the leader, and they were also directly crushed.

At this time, halfway through the Shen hour, that is, around four o'clock in the afternoon, the bright sky began to become gorgeous, and in the midst of the beacon smoke, the sunset was gradually approaching, and the scene of the rebel army was scattered everywhere in the mountains and forests, roads, watersides and fields.

Hao Jingcheng and others also chased and killed all the way with crossbows, shouting all kinds of rumors, and on the other hand, they went out of Zhuangzi, and only in the middle of the chase did they call a Zhuang Ding, pointing to the woods in the distance that might be the lantern of Kong Ming, and ordered: "Go over there quickly, in that forest, you let him pass the message and tell him, no matter how many officials and soldiers of this court come!" The rebels have broken up, let them stop them at the front! ”

This time, the dispatch of the officers and troops of Maozhou, within his plan, was not so accurate, he did not count on this group of officers and soldiers at the beginning, after all, he still knew the combat strength of this group of people, and sent someone to transfer troops with Li Gang's seal letter, but he did not have much hope, after all, this group of people is also a group of rabble, but now it is so coincidental, it has really become a charcoal in the snow.

The killer Zheng Xiu originally did not plan to retreat, but Xi Maijun's words were stern, swearing that a large army of the imperial court was coming.

And in this process, he also knew the rumor, saying that there were internal ghosts in this rebel army, and if he went his own way at this time, he would be liquidated on the rebels in the future, and I am afraid it would be difficult to be a man.

Although such rumors made him have to retreat immediately after receiving the order, after converging with Li Lei and others in a fork in the road leading to Zhuangwai, the murderer Zheng Xiu still told everyone what he thought.

"At this time, we can still fight, just wait for the general to go back, maybe we can break the village! The local champions have been so scared that we have been killed, what is there to fear! ”

He wanted to fight back with his men who still had morale, but Xi Maijun and the others would not allow him to do so.
