Chapter 52: The Destruction of the Army and the Killing of the Ninth General

Li Guo swept his gaze across the battlefield, instantly put his eyes behind him, and said: "You are all old men who follow my uncle, at this time, I don't know what happened in the back camp, but I know that this is our only chance to live." ”

"If we don't defeat Thief Zhang, let's not talk about avenging our uncle, whether we can come out alive or not is a question."

"So, I'll leave it to your uncles."

"Please rest assured, prince." An old man said: "With us old guys here, Zhang Xuan'er is nothing more than that." ”

Li Guo bowed deeply.

But after a while, the gongs and drums sounded in unison.

Dang Shousu was coerced and retreated from the battle formation.

At the beginning, Dang Shousu thought about resisting, but the situation was stronger than people, and when the army was defeated, Dang Shousu completely lost control over the people below, and he couldn't do anything. The only thing that can be done is to preserve the useful body.

It's just that at this moment, when I heard the different tone behind me, my face suddenly changed, and I said with a little emotion: "I didn't expect that the three walls are still there." ”

Yes, these old men are the descendants of Li Zicheng's lineage inherited by Li Guo, and the three walls that have clashed with the Qing cavalry several times without being defeated.

At the time of Lee's victory, there were not many of these three walls. And now, after fighting with the Qing army again and again, the three walls are even more consumed, and after following Li Zicheng to Xiangyang, there is not much.

This is also Li Guo's reorganization, and the number is only a little more than two thousand. And a lot of new pawns have been added, if it was only the original three walls, I'm afraid there would not even be more than a thousand riders.

If possible, Li Guo would not be willing to use these three walls.

There is no other reason, the number is too small, and in such a big war, the effect will not be too great. But now, I have to do it.

The use of the three walls is to lure the enemy into pursuit, and then attack the pursuing enemy army with the three walls. Under normal circumstances, when pursuing, the formation cannot be maintained, and the cavalry is naturally invincible and disadvantageous to attack the scattered foot soldiers.

And the situation at the moment is exactly the same.

It doesn't matter if it's a real defeat or a fraud or a failure.

Three walls, divided into three columns, dressed in heavy armor and holding long knives, gave an order, regardless of whether there were deserters from the loyal battalion in front of them.

The slightly muddy ground actually limited the play of the heavy cavalry, but even so, when the three walls crashed into the Runing army in an unstoppable state, as the trump card among the trump cards, a sentry in the Linying camp collapsed violently.

This sentry officer's surname is Wang, and he is one of the Nanyang teenagers brought out by Zhang Xuan at the beginning. He may not have anything special, but with his conscientious work, it is enough to be a sentry commander. In the face of the impact of three walls, he led by example and stood at the forefront

, was rushed by three walls, and immediately stepped half of his body into the ground, but the half-covered helmet let the world know that there was once a sentry here who died in battle.

The Linying battalion, which is known as invincible and invincible, was brutally defeated. Kill a Sentinel.

Zhang Yuanhai's blood surged. I could barely restrain myself.

Zhang Yuanhai was very proud, because he was a child of Zhang Xuan's own family, at least he thought so. Even though he was only a battalion officer, the other generals did not dare to slack off when they saw him.

It is also proud to be in the camp.

The first army that Zhang Xuan started with, it can be said that Pangdang's Southern Expeditionary Army was almost all derived from the Linying Battalion.

Zhang Xuan poured a lot of effort into Linyingying.

Although Zhang Xuan has now established a lot of directly subordinate troops, the people who are responsible for the perimeter guard task of Zhang Xuan's tent are all in the Linying Battalion, which is almost a tacit acquiescence, which is the trust in the Linying Battalion. And there are good things, which have always been used first in the Yingying camp.

Not to mention anything else, the other battalions are all about 3,000 people, but the Linying battalion has 4,000 people, and there is even an artillery team, all the equipment is superior.

Although the Linying battalion was also very competitive, it never lived up to Zhang Xuan's expectations, although after the Jinhua army joined, the Yiwu battalion became the main opponent of the Linying battalion for the first battalion of the Southern Expeditionary Army. But Linying Camp has never been afraid.

Being knocked down at a time, in Zhang Yuanhai's view, is simply a great shame.

It must be redeemed.

Zhang Yuanhai immediately ordered a formation.

The biggest disadvantage of the three walls is that the number of people is relatively small, more than 2,000 riders, divided into three columns, each column is only seven or eight hundred riders, and the coverage is small. And the land is a little soft, also limiting the impact of the three walls. And it seems that the generals of the three walls also cherish the soldiers under their command a little.

After all, Li Guo's capital is not much, and this is already his capital at the bottom of the box.

Don't dare to compromise too much.

But fighting a war is meant to be a hook-up.

Don't fight if you're afraid of the dead.

After the three walls broke down a sentry in the Linying camp, they paused slightly, dispersed, and after destroying the soldiers of this outpost, they rushed over again. Of course, there are also soldiers at this sentry, who have a resolute will to fight, even if they are broken down and lose their organization, some of them are still fighting in a stalemate.

Many people used handcuffs to hit the black guns of the soldiers on the three walls.

Handcuffs, in other battalions, I am afraid that even officers are rarely seen, and they are rare. However, although it cannot be said to be popular in the Linying camp, there are quite a few of them. There is even a privilege that can be bought for money.

So there aren't many of them.

But it works well. A real melee weapon.

Within a few steps, no matter how heavy his armor is, I will fly with a bang. Causing a lot of trouble for the three walls.

But

The three walls are experienced and handle the battlefield quickly, and almost after a slight pause, they rushed over again.

But he was facing the Linying camp.

It will take some time for the other battalion leaders to change back to a defensive position when they encounter an attack from a counterattack and pursuit, and this alone is not enough. But the Linying camp is the Linying camp, and in a short period of time, a simple formation has been arranged.

The only thing that worries people is that there are some musketeers, but none of them have any guns.

After all, when pursuing, who will push the artillery out.

In Zhang Yuanhai's opinion, the situation here is very simple. There were no trenches in front of the formation, no artillery behind the formation, and the positions of the sword, shield, spearman, and fire commander were a little messy. But there is no time for this to be sorted out, because three walls come.

It was like a chopping knife flying close to the ground in a day, and the three walls, dozens of steps apart, rushed towards the Linying camp.

People batch iron armor. The horse's leather armor, like a moving piece of iron, slammed into it at an unstoppable speed.

Even if Zhang Yuanhai was full of energy, looking at this situation, he also felt that his palms were sweaty and slightly cold.

The so-called "three arrows in battle" refers to bows and arrows, but in the face of the speed of three walls, no matter how many firearms there are, it can only hit a salvo. As for more, there is simply no time. Zhang Yuanhai hated that he didn't bring artillery, and dozens of small cannons were lined up, all with scattered bullets.

Even if they can't get rid of these three walls, it's enough for them to eat a pot.

It's just that now there are no heads. Some only have a desperate heart.

A shrill whistle sounded.

Countless firecrackers turned into a single sound, and the smoke suddenly spread like fog, making people's eyes irritated and a little uncomfortable.

Still, they're more uncomfortable with things to come. 、

This round of salvo fire from the Linying Camp is not without effect, and the level of the Linying Camp's firecrackers is credible. They would never do anything to open fire when they were out of range. But the power of the firecracker should not be overestimated.

The smoke has not completely dissipated, and many people in the Linying camp have already seen the results.

In the first row of the three walls, many soldiers were killed in battle. But it doesn't affect the overall situation, and even some of the horses have blood stains on them, but it doesn't seem to affect them to continue galloping. You must know that horses have a strong vitality. As long as it is not a blow to the heart, a horse is not so easy to die.

Zhang Yuanhai didn't have time to think about anything else, because the three walls were in front of him.

The musketeers behind them were all reloading quickly, and even though they had thousands of reloads during training, they still couldn't complete the second round of shooting when the three walls rushed over. However, it is not that there are no firearms outside of these firearms.

There was a chaotic sound of "popping", but it was the sound of handcuffs.
