Chapter 87 [Embattled]
Despite this, this formation still could not repel the rogue in the city, and soon the Ming army's earth-shattering thunder ran out, and then there was not much gunpowder left! The soldiers hurriedly ran to the side of the general soldier of Ming Aid and suppressed, and reported, "Lord Qiqi, the ammunition of our army is almost finished, dare to ask the Lord General if you want to retreat?" After thinking about it, the general army of Ming Aid and Suppression thought that the delay time was almost over, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that he would be counterattacked by the rogues, so he ordered the whole army to slowly withdraw in the direction of Houcheng!
At this moment, Wu Junzhen, who was using the three-eyed gun to shoot the Liukou, saw that the Ming army defending the city actually began to retreat, he was very surprised, and he thought in his heart, didn't he say that he had said before to hold on to the city and delay time? Why do you have to retreat before this half-pillar of incense arrives?
Ma Wei and Liu Ruilin, who were fighting, also felt strange and thought; Could it be that they are afraid of death? Otherwise, how could it be possible to want to retreat so quickly?
With anger and despair, they are in a difficult situation, whether to evacuate or die in battle has become a difficult task for them? Seeing that the Ming army was retreating one after another, Wu Junzhen had no choice but to decide to serve the country with his body, and he bravely killed the Liukou formation, cutting down one enemy after another.
As time passed, the commanders of the Shun army outside the city and the generals of the battalions found out that they were tired? He said to General Quan of the Shun army: "General Quan, you see that the Ming army that has just counterattacked in the city has been suppressed by our army, could it be that they are singing an empty city plan?" In fact, there are no troops at all? General Shun Junquan, who reacted, also found that it seemed to be the case?
So he led the Shun army behind to climb up the ladder to observe the situation, and sure enough, the number of Ming troops in the city was only a few hundred, and most of them turned around and fled, only 30 soldiers were in a combat state, which made the Shun generals very happy It was really unexpected!
Among them, the commander of the Shun army, the generals of the battalions, inadvertently glanced at Wu Junzhen, and felt that this person was a little familiar, as if he had seen it there? General Zuo Guoyi of the Shun Army next to him suddenly remembered that they were one of the generals who had defeated him before, and he was angry and picked up the loaded Five Thunder God Gun and aimed at Wu Junzhen, quickly pulled the trigger (bang) and shot over, but he didn't expect to hit the Liukou who was wielding a knife next to him.
The sound of the gun alarmed Wu Junzhen, and he looked around, thinking that someone must be going to shoot him? Just wanted to bow his head to pick up the shield when (bang) was hit with a shot of lead bullet just happened to drop the helmet, the hair on the forehead and temples in front of it fell down instantly and looked a little loose, Liu Ruilin at the corner of the city wall cut down a few rogues, ran over only to hear (bang) sound, lead bullet passed through the middle of Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin, he quickly kicked the bow and arrow on the ground with his feet and grabbed it with his hand, got up from the side and shot it to the opposite side, (whoosh) stabbed the soldier next to General Zuo Guoyi of the Shun army.
After forcing General Zuo Guoyi of the Shun army to shoot two shots with him, the soldiers of the Shun army rushed to kill them, and in the face of the formation of thousands of people charging and shouting in front of him, Ma Wei sprouted a retreat heart, and he shouted to Wu Junzhen, "Brother Wu, while it's still too late to go, we still have to serve the imperial court?" Don't lose a big deal out of a small one! ”
But he grabbed the spear on the ground and waved it, pushed it horizontally to the enemy, and cut the throats of several people, and the soldiers of the Shun army wanted to shoot him when they saw that he was too fierce, but he was stopped by General Shun Junquan, who said, "Slow, catch me alive." Seeing this situation, Ma Wei expected that Wu Junzhen would not retreat, so he went to Liu Ruilin's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Liu Yishi, do me a favor, I know that your light skills are so good that you can break through, and only you can take us out at the moment, and I will use ...... in a while." ”
After explaining the matter, Ma Wei quickly took out (thunderbolts) and blasted them in front of Wu Junzhen, taking advantage of the smoke around him, Liu Ruilin rushed up with an arrow to grab Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei, and flew down the city tower from the alley with light skills, and when the smoke dissipated, General Shun Junquan reacted, they had already run away, and he was angry and ordered to intercept the Ming army fleeing in Houcheng.
At this moment, the retreating Ming and Shaanxi commanders came to the territory of Wuting Pass, and everyone was exhausted and had to take a rest on the official road.
Sounds like someone walking around?
Immediately, the soldiers of the Ming army wondered if there were rogues lurking in it? In order to ensure safety, the patrol Ming army in front began to draw their sabers, while the rest of the Ming troops quickly loaded ammunition and pressed back and forth with fire, and were about to raise their guns to shoot when they saw a few soldiers wearing cloth armor come out, and the Ming army with sabers asked the other party, "Who is coming?" Hurry up and report the name, otherwise Hugh will blame the knife for being ruthless! ”
At this moment, a neatly dressed man with a delicate face stepped forward and replied, "Don't get me wrong! I am His Royal Highness Prince Han, and I had to flee here because of the attack on Qingyang Mansion by the Liukou, I don't know which army you are? Seeing this, the soldiers of the Ming army looked left and right and asked, "You said that you are His Royal Highness Prince Han?" What are the credentials? These words immediately aroused the Ming and Han Palace's official guards next to him: Yin Fuxing, refuted him with a righteous and awe-inspiring reply, "Bold, dare to question His Royal Highness Prince Han?" Token waiting here for a quick salute? ”
Then, His Royal Highness the Prince of Ming Han asked rhetorically, "What are you doing here?" Only then did the soldiers of the Ming army realize that they were on patrol, so they led His Royal Highness the Prince to meet the commander of the capital.
Here, the commander of the Ming and Shaanxi Metropolitan Commands, who had just taken a sip of water, saw a soldier come over and report: "Lord Qiqidu Commander, the younger one met His Royal Highness Prince Han during the inspection, and it seems that he was expelled by the rogue!" After hearing this, the commander of the Ming and Shaanxi provinces immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and he immediately met with His Royal Highness the Prince of Ming and Han: Zhu Ganyuan (both; Emperor Dingwu Yuan of Ming Pingzong Han Wang), after the two sides met, the prince of Ming Han successively explained that Liukou sent troops to occupy Qingyang Mansion, as well as Anbian guarded the Thousand Households and the honor guard of Han Wangfu escorted him to escape.
Knowing that Qingyang Mansion had fallen, the commander of the Ming and Shaanxi Commanders was a little scared, and he was worried that Ningxia Qiwei might not be protected? He stopped moving on and took the generals to discuss the next step.
But at this moment, a group of well-equipped Shun troops appeared on the hillside in the distance, and several of the generals waved their hands to let the flag waver order the artillery crews to ignite, and suddenly dozens of artillery pieces bombarded the past (dong, dong, dong) The huge explosion sound spread in front of the Ming army.
Zuo Fu, the leader of the Shun army, stepped forward and said: "The king is really a clever plan!" Quietly following behind this kid Zhu Yanyan, not only so that he can't notice us, but also so that he won't go to us for revenge, I thought I could only catch some small fish and shrimp? But he didn't expect to drop the Guyuan Weiming Army. ”
Then the new king of Shun sent the heavy armor soldiers of the Shun army and the light cavalry of the Shun army to attack, and let the archers of the Shun army suppress the Ming army with a rain of arrows, and most of the Ming troops were killed on the spot in the face of this blow! The rest of the 50,000 Ming troops are also in danger! I saw the right senator of the political envoy of Ming Shaanxi: Lin Tong, who hurriedly persuaded the commander of the Ming and Shaanxi provinces who organized a counterattack, "Lord Du commander, retreat quickly!" The rogue came suddenly, presumably prepared? If you don't withdraw, I'm afraid it'll be too late! ”
In desperation, the political envoy of Shaanxi Province of the Ming Dynasty asked 10,000 Ming troops to make a retreat on the west side of Wuting Pass in case of emergency, and the commander of the Ming and Shaanxi Metropolitan Envoys personally led the remaining 40,000 Ming troops to rush into the Liukou Iron Cavalry.
The Ming spears in the long-range battle with a three-eyed gun shot to the Liukou hit is okay, but in close combat, part of the Ming spears were cut off by the Liukou soldiers, only the Guyuan Weiming Army can still resist it, in the fierce battle Guyuan Weiming Army in the Liukou back and forth interspersed without fear, the Yanling knife in the hand continues to cut off the enemy's head.
Seeing this scene, King Xinshun was very angry, he ordered the heavy armor soldiers of the Shun army to replace them with tripping horses, and let the rest of the Shun army spread out to mainly attack the left and right flanks of the Ming army, forming a momentum of sweeping horses in the middle of the two breads, and defeated the Guyuan Wei Ming army in one fell swoop! He also hanged several Ming army generals.
Among them, His Royal Highness, the Prince of Ming Han, was protected by the Ming army of Anbian Shou Qianhu in the chaos, and escaped under the escort of the honor guard of the Han Palace.
And the main force of the Guyuan Wei Ming army was forced to withdraw, the soldiers covered the Ming Shaanxi command to retreat west into the mountains, the pursuit of the Liukou in order to eliminate this Ming army, the new Shun king personally led the Shun army to take a shortcut to a high ground, according to the local residents in the army, they learned that the front is walking thirty meters is a narrow valley, where you can set up an ambush to hit the Ming army, but the new Shun king did not think so, he smiled happily: "It is really heaven to help the lonely king!" Hehehe. ”
Immediately, he ordered his soldiers to use wind, fire, and thunder to blow up both sides of the valley, and huge rocks rolled down one after another.......
When the retreating Ming army came here after a while, they saw falling rocks blocking the way! Deeply disgusted, the Ming Shaanxi political envoy wanted to let the Ming army retreat, but the Ming Shaanxi commander let the Ming army dismount to clean up the falling rocks, and it happened that at this time, the Liukou pursued and shot the Ming army, and the new Shun king on the valley also stood up and ordered the soldiers to put arrows below, and threw the stones to catch the Ming army off guard! The Ming gunners were shot by the rogue before they could shoot a few buckshots, and although the Ming army resisted with their shields, it was to no avail! Many soldiers were still stoned to death.
At this time, the right senator of the political envoy of Ming Shaanxi suddenly saw a boulder falling, and he was about to hit the commander of Ming and Shaanxi, and at the critical moment, he rushed over to push away the commander of Ming and Shaanxi, and shouted loudly, "Be careful!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the boulder hit him instantly, and he saw that the right senator of the Ming Shaanxi political envoy spat blood and slowly fell down, and the commander of the Ming and Shaanxi provinces who reacted next to him hurriedly walked over and helped him up and asked, "Senator Lin, how are you?" But don't you have anything to do? ”
