Chapter 1119: Keep going
Li Guo, who was commanding in the back, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that his people had finally engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Jiang Ningjun.
"Okay, that's it, rush forward, as long as you get entangled with them, the dog officers and soldiers won't dare to shoot!"
Seeing the thieves in front of him who were fighting with the officers and soldiers, Li Guo was so excited that he was trembling all over, since he dealt with Jiang Ningjun, he and Jiang Ningjun have taught him a few times, but each time he ended in a big defeat, of course, because the combat effectiveness of the Liukou is too weak, but the most important reason is that Jiangning's firearms are too powerful.
This time, he finally set up an ambush, forcing the cavalry of the Jiangning army to first give up their strengths and dismount to play, and then had to play hand-to-hand combat with them, as long as he didn't collapse, he would definitely be able to inflict heavy damage or even annihilate this Ming army.
You must know that this is not the small team of 100 people behind, this is the cavalry of the Ming army of thousands of people, once it is annihilated, he will be able to shock the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of the horrified look on his uncle and so many generals of the Righteous Army when they learned that he had made such an unprecedented achievement, Li Guo felt that his whole person began to float.
However, Li Guo is also a person who has been in battle for a long time after all, and after the surprise, he regained his sense of smell on the battlefield, and he ordered everyone behind him to hurry up without thinking, especially to put down those defeated young men to reorganize the team and press up, as long as it can hit this Jiangning army hard, it is worth it even if everyone is wiped out.
"All rushed up to Lao Tzu, General Li said that as long as you kill an officer and soldier, you can join the old battalion. Kill three officers and soldiers to promote to the rank of general guard. ”
"Rush up to Lao Tzu, whoever dares to slack off will all die!"
The old thief who was in charge of supervising the battle behind him was also ruthless, and the weapons in his hands kept waving to drive the young men forward.
In the face of the swarming rogues like a tide, Cao Yingmao did not panic in the slightest, but sneered and issued a new order.
As the order was given, the two phalanxes that had been standing behind began to step forward quickly, raising their fire guns and pulling the trigger on the rogues who were swarming towards the front phalanx.
"Bang ......"
With the sound of gunshots like fried beans, a celebrity Kou was knocked to the ground, and after several rounds of guns, the momentum of the Liukou's attack was immediately stopped, and a large open space immediately appeared in the middle of the Liukou, so that the Liukou who was in front of him was caught in a bitter battle with the Jiangning Army immediately became a lone army.
"Oh no, fooled."
Seeing such a scene, Li Guo, who was originally quite excited, felt like he had been poured a basin of ice water, and it could be said that he was cold from head to foot.
Originally, I thought that the trap I set would work, but now it seems that the other party has clearly seen through his plan and set a trap, but he is still stupid to get in, he is so stupid, even if he wants to, he can't go.
"Forward!" A thousand general officers held their sabers high and ordered loudly, and the two phalanxes behind them slowly pressed forward after reloading their ammunition.
In order to achieve the goal, this group of thieves Li Guo transferred the most powerful group of old camp thieves in their hands, originally wanted to use their hands to break through the defense line of the Jiangning army, but now not only failed to achieve the goal, but instead fought into a stalemate.
Although they also killed and injured some soldiers of the Jiangning Army with the help of their bravery, their own losses were not small, the original team of 500 people now only had about 300 people left, and what was even worse was that the other party's reinforcements had come up, while their own people were blocked behind.
"General, let's withdraw quickly, leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood!" An old camp thief who was in charge of guarding Li Guo saw that the general situation was gone, grabbed Li Guo's arm and said the most common language spoken by the rogues.
"Can I still walk?" Li Guo laughed miserably, "Before leaving, my uncle and military advisor repeatedly instructed that the Ming officers and soldiers must be held for two hours, but how long has it been now, if I retreat now, what face will I have in the future to gain a foothold in the righteous army." Sixth son, don't persuade me, just let me fight to the death with the Ming army. ”
With that, he drew the long knife at his waist, jumped on his horse and rushed forward.
"Quick...... Keep up. ”
Seeing Li Guo rushing up alone, Liuzi was also anxious, and hurriedly beckoned the guards next to him to get on the horse and rushed up.
Just when Cao Yingmao commanded the sergeants to prepare to annihilate the first group of thieves who rushed up, he heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and saw dozens of thieves' cavalry rushing from the front.
"Huh...... There are really people who are not afraid of death. ”
Cao Yingmao's eyes showed a look of surprise, but he didn't have any worries, in front of firearms, personal bravery had long been useless, and the only role of these people was just a bunch of mutilated corpses.
"Command...... The second third-party array intercepted immediately! ”
"Ready...... Fire! ”
When Mr. Qian, who was behind, saw a group of cavalry coming in front of him, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly raised his saber, and when the cavalry entered the firing range, the saber swung down heavily.
"Bang ......"
"Bumper ......"
Li Guo, who was galloping on his horse, was very fast, and after a while, he rushed to the first Ming army formation, and just as he was holding his long knife high and slashing towards a Jiangning sergeant, a lead bullet shot from nowhere hit him in the chest.
Li Guo only felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit hard by a giant hammer, and the whole person actually flew up from the horse and fell heavily to the ground, and a mouthful of blood also flowed out of his ears and nose.
"That's what it's like to be hit by a fire bolt!" Lying on the ground, he looked at the gloomy sky, and the last thought of this life flashed through his mind, and then his eyes went dark, and the whole world fell into darkness.
"General!"
Liuzi and the others, who were struggling to come, saw Li Guo being shot and dismounted, everyone was frightened, if something happened to Li Guo, their guards would definitely not escape death, and Li Zicheng would never spare them.
"Come on...... Avenge the general! ”
A group of rogues rushed forward on horseback, regardless of life and death, intending to pull a cushion on their backs when they were dying, but they were answered by neat rows of gunfire......
After half an hour of fierce fighting, Li Guo led more than 1,000 old camp thieves and most of the 3,000 thieves led by Hao Shaoqi were annihilated, leaving only Hao Shaoqi and a small number of thieves to flee back.
After annihilating these rogues, Cao Yingmao did not care about cleaning up the battlefield, but ordered the cavalry to mount their horses and continue to gallop forward, and they continued to rescue those brothers who had lost contact.
