Chapter 54: The Defeat of the Army and the Killing of the General Eleven

"Brother Dang, we lost this battle, and now we have to think about how to remove our brothers." Li Guo said when he saw Dang Shousu.

Things have come to this point, Li Guo can't help but admit the reality, the backyard is on fire, although Li Guo doesn't know what happened to Maluan now, the people who investigated in the past can't come back, and it's not a good situation to think about it.

As for the present, although he filled in his elite three-wall cavalry, it could be regarded as blocking the pursuit of the Xia army.

But only for a while.

The soldiers who had just returned from a big defeat could not get better again for a while. The Xia army continued to attack, and Li Guo also felt that he couldn't resist it.

There is no hope of victory left.

"What does Master Hou mean?" Dang Shousu said.

Li Guo said: "A general is needed." ”

Dang Shousu understood Li Guo's meaning in an instant.

Li Guo wanted to let the party guard always be broken.

It's not easy to bear after the break, and if you don't get it right, you'll die. The reason why Li Guo is interested in the party's defense is not that he has unfavorable thoughts for the party's defense, but that in the current situation, the army will not be able to withdraw at all without a heavy general.

In the loyalty camp, there are prestige people who can make people obey, that is, Li Guo and Dang Shousu.

If it is not Li Guo, it is the party guarding the element, and if it is not the party guarding the element, it is Li Guo, and there is no other choice at all.

Li Guo decided not to smash his own capital into it, so he naturally wanted Dang Shousu to bear this drudgery.

Dang Shousu looked at Li Guo, and had some complaints in his heart, how could he not complain, he had just returned from defeat, and his headquarters had suffered a lot of losses, so it could be said that he had lost his blood. At this moment, he is still using him to death, and it is strange that he has no complaints.

It's just that the party is also very aware of this situation. It's useless to fall out with Li Guo senselessly. Li is stronger than him, and his prestige is stronger than him. He can't compete with Li Guo.

"Let's go." Dang Shousu said secretly: "It should be regarded as repaying King Chuang's kindness back then." ”

"Okay." Dang Shousu said: "Hou Ye leave quickly, I am here to break the queen for Hou Ye, but it won't last long depending on the situation." ”

"Thank you, brother." Li Guo said: "Brother Dang doesn't have to block for long, just wait a while, just come over, and if you meet others, just leave it to fate." ”

Li Guo naturally knew that it was impossible to defeat the battle without paying a price, and now that there are so many tens of thousands of troops who can leave the battlefield smoothly, there can be more than 10,000, and Li Guo is grateful. After all, the loyal battalion faced the Xia army, not the Qing army, and even if it faced the Qing army, when it was at a disadvantage, there were still many troops who surrendered as formations. broke into the camp and was defeated several times, and the spirit had already been lost.

Not to mention, the predecessor of Xia Jun was Cao Ying, and they have a lot of relationships with each other

Deep.

Many generals have acquaintances in the Xia army, and when they surrender, there is no psychological burden.

Li Guo was worried that when he retreated for a while, it was estimated that there were many people who were not willing to follow him at all

So be fast, the sooner the better.

Li Guo and Dang Shousu did not discuss much at all, almost a few words, it was decided, Li Guo led more than 10,000 people in the headquarters, and immediately began to retreat, while Dang Shousu took over Li Guo's handsome banner and continued to preside over the overall situation. While rectifying the resistance of the soldiers and horses, he was entangled in his own headquarters and horses, ready to anoint the soles of his feet at any time.

Li Guo withdrew for several miles, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: "This distance is a little safer." He immediately looked at Dang Shousu, but the scene in front of him made him stunned and couldn't believe it.

What Li Guo saw, it was nothing else, but a few miles away, dozens of artillery pieces dropped dozens of shells around the banner of Dang Shousu, and for a while the smoke and dust covered the handsome banner, and no one knew whether Dang Shousu was dead or alive.

At the same time, Zhou Fuchen also saw this scene, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: "Now, it can be regarded as atonement." ”

In the whole battle, the heaviest psychological burden was Zhou Fuchen, because among the many generals of the Xia army, Zhou Fuchen performed the worst, even if it was a soldier of Wang Long's department, although he and Ma Luan became rookies. But in essence, they didn't drop the chain.

But Zhou Fuchen missed the scheduled time again and again.

In the art of war, this is called lapse.

Why did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolt, because they should be beheaded because they missed the deadline, and why Li Guang committed suicide, it was also because they were beheaded because they missed the deadline.

Although the military law of the Xia army is not so strict, but Zhou Fuchen should not have the time to fire, and it is definitely a big mistake not to fire the cannon, maybe depending on Zhou Fuchen's previous military exploits, he will not be beheaded, but Zhou Fuchen will be punished.

At other times, Zhou Fuchen was not nervous. After all, Zhou Fuchen is also Zhang Xuan's old descendant, even if he makes a mistake, at most he will just play the board, after all, if he wins this battle, if he is defeated, it will be another matter.

But what time is it? Zhou Fuchen made great contributions, and Zhang Xuan asked him for the title of Marquis of Fubo. But this title has not yet come down, that is, it is in a state of pending, in other words, it is the period of investigation. said that because of this mistake, the title in hand was flying.

Can Zhou Fuchen not be nervous?

Therefore, he must make a great contribution to make up for it.

He chose the banner of the Loyal Battalion.

Aim dozens of artillery pieces at this banner. Even though the accuracy of the Hongyi cannon is not high, it is also a way to make up for the quality with quantity, after all, the accuracy of the three-bed bow and crossbow was not too good, and it was not the same as shooting the general of the Liao army.

Saturation blows, never

The only way to hit the target.

However, even so, the shells did not hit Dang Shousu.

After a round of artillery fire, the party's pro-soldiers were stunned, and some of the pro-soldiers were also covered by the artillery fire. But there were some of them who did not, and they rushed over as if they were crazy, completely ignoring the artillery fire and ready to bombard again at any time.

Soon, they found the party to keep the party.

Dang Shousu stood still, the big flag behind him and the flagpole were folded in half, and the battalion flag with the word "loyalty" fell to the ground, right in front of Dang Shousu, sprinkled with blood. There is the blood of others, and there is also the blood of the party.

Dang Shousu did not die under the shells.

If the cannonball really hit Dang Shousu, Dang Shousu wouldn't even think about a whole corpse. The cannonball hit the flagpole behind him, and the flagpole with both hands together suddenly cracked, and many small wooden blocks and wooden thorns shot out like strong bows and crossbows.

Dang Shousu was closest to the flagpole, and a considerable part of it hit him.

There were even some who beat the party guards through their bodies and sprayed blood directly onto the banner in front of them.

Dang Shousu wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop the blood from spurting out. He said vaguely: "I really want to turn Yang." ”

He vaguely remembered that he had not followed the cavalry of King Chuang, he rode a donkey and carried a bag of salt to and from the countryside, and he was really happy at that time. I just can't go back.

Dang Shousu's eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground, knowing nothing.

He's dead.

Dang Shousu is dead, and he can't do anything, but the war will not stop because of his death.

As soon as the party was dead, the loyal battalion completely collapsed, and even the last bit of morale was gone, and at the same time, it also lost its command, and it became a mess for a while.

All in all, there were not many resolutely resisting soldiers in front of Xia Jun.

But there was a new obstacle in front of Xia Jun.

This resistance is nothing else, it is the resistance to surrender. So many people in the loyal battalion surrendered, and the Xia army had to settle them well, and they couldn't care about anything else for a while. After all, the Loyal Battalion is the remnants of the Chuang Battalion, which came out of the same source as the Xia Army and was annexed without much resistance.

As long as you recruit the generals above, reward them well, and give them a combination of grace and power, it won't take much time for these troops to be used by the Xia army. Even if you are worried about them grouping, you can also draw elites from here to fill the Southern Expeditionary Army. This is a ready-made source of troops.

It's quite a fortune.

Zhang Xuan weighed the pros and cons, so he had no choice but to let Li Guo go. Anyway, after this battle, Li Guo has not much left, so there is no need to worry about it. Zhang Xuan simply did not pursue Li Guo. Strive to surrender.
