Chapter 391: Gaining the upper hand

Nikan subconsciously looked back, but saw a man wearing an eight-petal phoenix-winged gilt red tasseled steel helmet, dressed in luxurious and delicate bright gray pure steel armor, wearing a big red woven silk cloak, and a brute lion with a gold and jade belt around his waist, riding a majestic horse with black body and four hooves as white as snow, holding a huge and sharp tiger sword, under the protection of a group of equally well-equipped escort cavalry, cleaving waves and cutting through the Qing army blocking the way, rushing straight towards him.

This majestic and brave young general is Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang Guo.

His thick eyebrows full of anger, staring at the Qing army general Nikan on the other end of the long street, were like two extremely sharp radars, firmly locking on their prey.

At the same time, in front of the Qing army of Nikan, in addition to those militiamen and young men, there was a Tang army infantry that came from nowhere, and directly surrounded Nikan and his Qing soldiers and horses, like dumplings.

Nikan and his thousands of soldiers and horses could hardly escape.

"Vulnatars! If you don't surrender, grandpa will take your dog's life! ”

Regardless of whether Nanikan could understand Chinese or not, Li Xiao shouted loudly again.

"Stop them! Stop these damn Nikans! ”

Although Nikan was not very familiar with the Chinese language, he also guessed that the Tang army general on the other side of the street was most likely going to surrender himself. He couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and shouted, "Sons! Although there are many Han dogs, it is not so easy to defeat our army! As long as we hold on a little longer, the general will definitely come to our rescue! ”

Hearing the Lord's encouragement, the Qing army, which was already in a panic, suddenly boosted their morale a lot, and they shouted and put on a desperate posture to resist the incoming Tang army.

The two sides of Tang and Qing Dynasty fought for a while.

"Fetch my bow!"

Li Xiao's face was as heavy as iron, and he coldly ordered a guard next to him, who hurriedly took out the huge bow from the birch bark bow bag next to the horse, handed it to Li Xiao, and then took Li Xiao's tiger knife.

"Give Ben Gong three heavy arrows!"

Li Xiao gave another order, and the guard was stunned, so he immediately took out three three-edged wolf-toothed steel heavy arrows with a length of one and a half meters from the sharkskin quiver and solemnly handed them to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao put these three heavy arrows on the tiger tendon bowstring at the same time, squeaked away, and soon, the entire bow of the soul was like a full moon, and the huge pure steel arrows of the three heavy arrows flashed with an orange-red cold glow that made people indulge and palpitate under the reflection of the firelight.

Three arrows fired at the same time is a unique skill of Li Xiao, who is proficient in archery. Now, just in time, it comes in handy

"Whoosh! ……”

Three faint sounds of breaking the sky, and three heavy arrows shot towards Nikan, who was nearly a hundred paces away, with an extremely sharp posture, like three fleeting white lights.

Nikan had been in battle for a long time, and he heard a faint scream in his ears, and suddenly secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he hurriedly lowered his body, and two arrows grazed his ears, and one grazed the edge of his armor and flew past, but there was still a three-edged wolf tooth and steel arrow, poof, through the gap in the armor, and drilled into his flank.

Nikan screamed loudly in pain, and the whole person almost fainted in pain. Fortunately, the Qing army next to him was able to hold on to prevent him from falling off the horse.

Seeing that the winner Gong Li Xiao was hit with one blow, the captain of the guard, Li Haoran, reacted quickly, and he immediately shouted: "The enemy general is dead!" If you don't land quickly, you can avoid death! ”

The Tang army next to him was also greatly boosted, and everyone shouted in unison: "Surrender quickly!" Avoid death! ”

Seeing that the morale of the Tang army was like a rainbow, and seeing that his main general, Nikan, was being sandwiched in the middle by a group of guards, it was obviously unpredictable that life and death were unpredictable, and the morale of the Qing army was greatly depressed, and the entire formation began to quickly appear chaotic.

Hearing the continuous shouting of the Tang Army, Nikan, whose wound was bleeding non-stop, endured the pain, pushed away the guards next to him, and shouted: "Sons! Ben will be fine, don't believe the lies of the Tang Army! Everyone, together with Ben, fight these damn Han dogs to the end! ”

Nikan shouted, and before he finished speaking, Li Xiao, who was a hundred steps away, had already fired three arrows at once, and three cold lights were shooting at his face, neck and chest.

Nikan's consciousness had begun to blur due to excessive blood loss, and the three arrows suddenly fired, and Nikan had no time to react.

"Snatch and snatch! ……”

With three muffled sounds, an arrow shot deep into Nikan's right eye socket, straight into his brain, leaving almost only the feathers at the end of the arrow. An arrow pierced his neck, and blood dripped down the blood trough at the tip of the hideous arrow. Only the arrow that hit him in the chest was luckily blocked by the mirror, and after a string of tiny sparks, it flew away.

"Master! ……”

Amid the mournful cries of the guards, Nikan fell silently from his horse, and with the chaos of the horse's hooves, which had no time to dodge, the porphyry burst into the abdomen with a thud, and suddenly he died no longer dead.

The main general was dead, and the Qing army was in chaos.

After barely resisting for less than a quarter of an hour, the Qing army, which was leaderless and besieged on all sides, finally collapsed completely.

With no way to escape, they abandoned their swords one after another and fell to their knees and begged. These Qing soldiers who begged for mercy were like a world of difference compared to their original appearance.

Li Xiao did not give the order to stop the killing, but looked coldly, and the Tang troops under his command who had killed red-eyed people, slashed and stabbed with knives and guns, and slaughtered all the Qing troops of more than 2,000 people.

The reason why he refused to let these Qing soldiers live was that he hated them for doing a lot of evil in Jinan City, and he wanted to slaughter them to vent his anger. The second is that now that their own troops are insufficient, and the Qing army still has an advantage in strength, when the whole situation is not clear, accepting so many prisoners at once will only bring unnecessary trouble to oneself, and it is better to kill them all to save trouble.

After killing all the Qing troops, leaving behind blood and countless corpses, Li Xiao took his Tang army and continued to fight elsewhere.

At this time, Liu Zeqing's troops, who had escaped in a hurry from King De's mansion, were blocked by Liu Guoneng, the deputy general of Xingzhong Town of the Tang Army.

Liu Zeqing, who plundered the Dewang Mansion and slaughtered all the Dewang family, his original plan was to take advantage of the chaos in the city and the fact that the South Gate had not yet been occupied by the Tang Army, so he took his soldiers and horses, as well as a large number of property, calligraphy, paintings and jewels captured from the Dewang Mansion, and quietly sneaked out of the South Gate in order to save his life.

As for the future, whether to continue to take refuge in the Qing army, or simply occupy the mountain as the king and be a happy mountain king, Liu Zeqing really didn't think about it so much.

It's just that when he cautiously led everyone to quietly flee south from the remote alley, he happened to be blocked at the exit of a road by Liu Guoneng, who led the army to fight everywhere.

"Liu Zeqing, you thief who sacrificed the city to surrender to the Qing Dynasty! Don't get off the horse and surrender quickly, wait for the fall! ”

Liu Guoneng, the deputy general of Xingzhong Town of the Tang Army, said coldly to Liu Zeqing when he immediately arranged his soldiers to surround Liu Zeqing's thousands of soldiers and horses.

Liu Zeqing squeezed out a wry smile on his face, and he said loudly: "General Liu, there is a way that more is better than less, but now that your army is at war with the Qing army, why do you need to have such an opponent as our army that is completely unnecessary?" ”

"Liu Zeqing, what the hell do you mean?!" Liu Guoneng asked sharply.

"General Liu, Liu's meaning is very clear, as long as you let me wait for a way out, I will give you half of the property I have obtained as the cost of buying a road, so good?" Liu Zeqing had a pleading look on his face.

"Phew! It's a dream that the traitors who are waiting for the Qing Dynasty want to use money to buy us and others! Your troops have been firmly surrounded by our army, and there is no reason to escape, how dare you be so delusional! Liu Guoneng said sharply: "Listen, if you don't surrender, our army will attack immediately!" ”

Liu Zeqing saw that Liu Guoneng was stubborn and did not let go, and his face suddenly turned hideous, and he roared angrily: "Hmph! Liu Guoneng, do you really think you will be able to stop our army?! The whole army obeyed the order and attacked the enemy together with the general, as long as they could break through them, it would be a victory! ”

After Liu Zeqing finished speaking, the prancing horse held a gun and rushed up with a roar. The 1,000 rebel soldiers clamored to join him in the attack.

A sneer flashed on Liu Guoneng's face, and he shouted angrily, and all the Tang troops, who had long been unable to hold back, shouted loudly and attacked the rebels who rushed over.

The two armies were immediately slaughtered.

Liu Guoneng wielded the huge iron pattern eyebrow knife in his hand, and under the protection of a group of guards, he swung the knife and went straight to the enemy general Liu Zeqing.

The two of you come and go, slashing each other, sparks splashing, all the moves are dead hands, for a while, it is difficult to solve the killing.

It's just that the Tang army besieging from all sides, whether in terms of weapons and equipment, or the will to fight, far surpassed the rebels of Liu Zeqing's army, and this battle only lasted less than half an hour, and the rebel array was already extremely chaotic.

"Brother Tang Jun, we are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender!"

When the main general Liu Zeqing was still fighting to the death with Liu Guoneng, his soldiers could no longer support it, and they abandoned their weapons one after another, shouting and begging to surrender.

It's just that the red-eyed Tang Army, who was red-eyed, turned a deaf ear to their loud pleas.

Swords and spears stabbed and flesh flew everywhere, and in the continuous screams, the rebels who begged for surrender were killed on the spot.

At this time, when the main general Liu Zeqing heard the voices of his soldiers begging for mercy, he was also terrified.

He was at a loss, his moves suddenly became messy, Liu Guoneng saw that he was showing his flaws, so he seized the opportunity and slashed over, Liu Zeqing hurriedly raised his gun to meet him, only to hear a click, and the spear in his hand was broken into two.

Liu Guoneng struck a powerful blow, and after cutting off Liu Zeqing's spear, the remaining momentum did not stop, and the blade continued to slash downward, and then cut Liu Zeqing's thigh fiercely, before it was slashed to the side with a surge of blood.

Liu Zeqing screamed miserably, fell off his horse, and a group of Tang troops rushed up and chopped him alive.

Liu Guoneng's guards and a large number of flying harrier cavalry, annoyed that he fought to the end, and then went up on horseback, chopped his body to pieces, and trampled back and forth into a strange humanoid sheet.

It's just that his shaved head was cut off by the besieging Tang Army and dedicated to Liu Guoneng. Liu Guoneng wrapped his head in a rag and prepared to wait for the battle to be over, and then offer it to Li Xiao for credit.

So far, in the city of Jinan, although the Tang army has fewer troops than the Qing army, but because it can form a local advantage, so as to break the scattered Qing army, so the battle to the present, although the Tang army has also suffered heavy casualties, but in such a desperate battle, it has begun to gradually gain the upper hand.

At this time, Li Xiao led his soldiers and horses, and after joining up with Liu Guoneng's troops, he went all the way to the southeast.

Because, Li Xiao has received the news that in the southeast square, it is Yue Xuan, the commander of the Qing army, who has fallen into the siege of the Tang army and is dying and struggling.

Hearing this news, Li Xiao's eyes, like a tiger that had discovered an important prey, emitted a shining light.

There is a way that if the thief captures the king first, if the main general of the Qing army can be successfully defeated, then the Qing army, which is still struggling to the death in the city, will inevitably have no will to fight, either surrender, or flee from the south gate quickly.

When Li Xiao led the crowd to the southeast square, Yue Zhi, the chief general of the Qing army, led the only remaining 200 elite soldiers of the White Swing Tooth to desperately resist wave after wave of Tang troops.

The white swing tooth soldiers are the elite of the Qing army, these heavily armored and well-armed guys, the main general Yue Yu is surrounded in the middle, and the white swing teeth soldiers on the periphery, armed with heavy weapons such as tiger knives and tiger guns, desperately attack and kill the Tang infantry who keep rushing. The white swing tooth soldiers in the inner perimeter vigorously throw throwing throwing weapons such as hammers, axes, and thistles bones. These elite white swing teeth soldiers of the Qing army threw them extremely accurately, and basically as soon as they threw them over, a Tang soldier screamed and fell to the ground. For a time, more than 200 white-toothed soldiers killed the surrounding Tang troops screaming again and again, and there were many casualties.

It's just that what shocked Yue and the two hundred or so white-toothed soldiers was that even though the Tang army had left a circle of corpses along their own positions, there was still a steady stream of Tang infantry, shouting and rushing up, fighting desperately with the Qing army to the death.

Seeing that these Tang troops were like crazy demons, desperately attacking without fear of life and death, Yue Zhen, the commander of the Qing army, was pale and sweating.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if all the Ming troops in this Ming Kingdom can be like the soldiers in the hands of Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang Kingdom, and fight for the country without fear of death, then the Qing Dynasty still dares to enter the customs and plunder, and it can only be extremely difficult to protect the borders.

In such a battle now, although the casualties of the Tang army are several times higher, how long can they resist such a steady stream of suicidal attacks by exchanging more lives for one life?

Suddenly, Yue Zhen heard the footsteps of a large number of soldiers and the rustling of the armor leaves on their bodies from the northwest direction.

He looked at it, but his face was even more pale.

He saw that under a huge Tang banner waving in the wind, a young general dressed in luxurious steel armor was commanding the almost endless Tang army at a glance, killing in his own direction in a wide way surrounded by all sides.

And at the forefront was the most elite heavy infantry of the Tang Army, who was the same as his own white tooth swinging soldiers, wearing three layers of heavy armor, only revealing two eyes, and holding tiger knives, tiger spears, long-handled knives, heavy military sickles and other heavy weapons.

Armed to the teeth, like a group of mecha monsters, these general soldiers, numbering at least five or six hundred, roared and rushed towards the terrified white fang-wrenching soldiers.

There was a muffled bang, and the rampant general quickly fought with the white fangs and slaughtered into a mess.
