This battle made Mo Li re-examine Kong Youde's rebels, and when he was in Putai before, the poor performance of the rebels made him despise the combat effectiveness of the rebels, thinking that the rebels were as vulnerable as Pan Yanfei's troops. 〈〔? VIII{{a Chinese Net(〈[〈 ]}).

But now the corpses of the fallen soldiers around him poured cold water on his head - the rebels were not as incompetent as he imagined, and the rebels who had grown rapidly after occupying the city of Dengzhou had become a formidable enemy.

More than an hour has passed since the beginning of the war, and the two sides have fought until now, and the number of soldiers killed on both sides is probably over 5,000. Mo Li made a preliminary judgment that the rebels would most likely withdraw their troops now, otherwise if the battle continued, the rebels who lacked night vision would become lambs to the slaughter.

However, Mo Li didn't know if he would be able to hold out until dark, because Zhang Tao was commanding hundreds of rebel soldiers, including cavalry and infantry.

There are only about 30 people left around Mo Li's personal soldiers who are still around him, and Hu Yiniu, who survived the Putai Eleventh Killing, this guy, this time he was very brave in the battle with the rebels and his former comrades, and he has been following Mo Li's personal soldiers to fight bravely.

Perhaps it was the scene of the eleventh slaughter that was too tragic to suppress these rebel surrenderers, and basically no one dared to retreat or flee when these more than 3,000 soldiers fought fiercely with their former comrades. What's even more rare is that in the face of the persuasion of those commanders before them, few people were moved.

And Guan Feng, Ma Jinzhong, Xiao Yang, Li Guo and others didn't know where to fight with the rebels, only Zhou Yuji and He Zhenbei led more than 200 feet to ride dozens of zhang away to fight fiercely with the rebels, and tried to get closer to Moli here.

The pro-soldiers surrounded Mo Li and Liang Peijun in the middle, struggling to resist the attack of the rebels, but after all, they were invincible with both palms and four fists, and from time to time some pro-soldiers fell.

Mo Li stretched out his hand, grabbed Liang Peijun's soft hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lady, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can only ...... in the next life."

"Husband, don't say it! We will live forever and forever together! Liang Peijun calmed down his violent gasp and smiled at him.

Mo Li was deeply moved, and at the same time felt a little sorry, looking at the rebel soldiers who kept coming up, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lady, I will protect you and rush out!" ”

Liang Peijun shook her head, she knew that this was almost impossible. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves in the northwest corner, and at the same time, the rebel soldiers on that side began to disrupt.

Mo Li was stunned for a moment, looking at the situation, could it be that reinforcements were coming?

Mo Li's guess was right, it was the 5,000 soldiers and horses of Zu Dacheng's department who rushed to the northwest first, and behind him were the 2,000 Beijing battalions with high dives and 3,000 Lu soldiers transferred from all over Shandong.

The deputy general Zu Dabi took the lead, holding a spear to kill the enemy's formation, rushing left and right, very brave. On the other side, Zu Kuan, the general of the ancestral family, also brandished a long knife and killed the rebels.

Behind him, Liaodong General Zu Dacheng, deputy generals Zu Zechuan and Ding Guokun, and generals Song Qiao, Bao Dongwei, Sha Wenqi and other generals led their troops to join the battle group and slashed and killed one after another.

The rebels fought fiercely with the New Liao Army and the defenders of Laizhou City for most of the day, and by this time it was already the end of the crossbow, and the New Liao Army suffered heavy losses. At this time, where can it withstand the strong impact of the new force of Zu Dacheng's department?

Li Jiucheng chuckled in his heart, he had already fought quite fiercely with the New Liao Army, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, he originally planned to destroy the New Liao Army and the defenders of Laizhou City no matter what, even if he did not hesitate to pay huge casualties, and now that there are tens of thousands of Ming troops, how can he fight again?

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Jiucheng hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat, and then evacuate the battlefield first, as for the corpses of the soldiers killed in the battle and the trophies, there was no time to take care of them, and even many wounded soldiers and some heavy artillery were abandoned.

Li Jiucheng, Zhang Tao, Li Yingyuan and others hurriedly led their own soldiers to flee in a hurry, turned around and fled to the south. Seeing this, the soldiers of all the units in the melee also withdrew one after another, and fled in a panic with Li Jiucheng and others.

Mao Yufeng was injured in the melee, and when he saw Li Jiucheng retreating, he hurriedly wanted to escape, but he was a step slow and was intercepted by a team of Ming troops.

The main general of this Ming army is Zu Dabi, and I saw him shouting: "Thief Kou Hugh go!" Eat me a shot! ”

As he spoke, he stabbed his spear violently.

Mao Yufeng was taken aback and hurriedly dodged. However, due to his injuries, his actions were inevitably a little sluggish, and Zu Dabi was well-known for his ability to fight, and seeing the enemy's reinforcements coming at this moment, Mao Yufeng was in a hurry to seize the road and flee for his life.

As soon as Mao Yufeng died, his subordinate soldiers were even more shocked, panicked, and wanted to escape, but they were killed by Zu Dabi's troops, and the remaining rebels knew that they could not escape, so they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Liang Peijun saw the reinforcements from a distance, and the rebels immediately turned around and fled, and couldn't help crying with joy, grabbing Mo Li's arm and shaking it excitedly, and said again and again: "Husband, we have won!" We won! ”

Mo Li was also very happy, seeing that the rebels around him had fled one after another, and no one came to besiege him, so his forced breath suddenly leaked, and the whole person collapsed on the ground like a collapse, panting heavily, ignoring that the ground was full of blood and water melted with snowflakes.

"Husband!" Liang Peijun asked with concern, Mo Li waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, but he was too tired.

The soldiers of the New Liao Army and the defenders of Laizhou City, who were still fighting on the battlefield, saw that the rebels turned and fled, and they were willing to let go of this opportunity, and those who could hold swords and guns rose up bravely to continue to pursue and kill the rebels.

Li Jiucheng and others ran very fast, and fled far away after a while, the new Liao army had no strength to chase again, and Zu Dacheng's troops chased and killed for a while, and saw that the rebels were far away, and it was getting dark, so they stopped chasing and returned to Laizhou City to clean up the battlefield.

Mo Li rested for a while, and saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he stood up again with difficulty, and ordered the subordinates who gathered around to treat the wounded soldiers and clean up the battlefield.

At this time, Guan Feng, Ma Jinzhong, He Zhenbei, Xiao Yang, Li Guo, Zhou Yuji and others also moved closer to Moli.

Guan Feng ran over and said with self-reproach: "General, the last general's rescue is not effective, so the general is in danger, and he almost made a big mistake, please punish the general!" ”

Ma Jinzhong, He, Xiao, Li, Zhou and other generals also pleaded guilty.

Mo Li waved his hand, wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face, and said: "I don't blame you, it's the general's fault, I was too careless, I didn't expect these rebels to be so able to fight!" ”

Guan Feng was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a Ming general covered in blood walking over, followed by seven or eight soldiers, but he didn't know who it was.

Na Ming came to Mo Li, clenched his fists and said: "Laizhou Deputy General Xu Congzhi thank you!" ”

As he spoke, he knelt down.

Mo Li hurriedly supported Xu Congzhi and said, "General Xu can't be like this!" We all belong to the Ming Dynasty, and we should work together to go to the national disaster, and the Ming Dynasty is a sunny day! ”

He is a deputy general, and he is only a general now, so how embarrassed is he to ask others to bow down to him.

"Well said! Dare to ask the shogun daimyo? Xu Congzhi was not polite, stood up straight and said.

Mo Li clasped his fists and saluted: "The last general, Jinzhou Staff General Mo Li, see General Xu!" ”

"You are the Moli general who defeated the Jiannu Tartars in the Daling River?!" Xu Congzhi's expression was very surprised, and then he hugged his fists again and said: "I didn't expect to see the hero who defeated Jiannu today, it's really Xu's luck!" ”

Although after the First Battle of Dalinghe, the imperial court did not reward Moli for meritorious service, and even demoted and punished, but the people still spread that the general who led the army and severely damaged the Tartars was called Moli. Therefore, it is impossible for Xu Congzhi not to know Moli's name.

Mo Li said lightly: "Where is it, Mo Li is just a reckless man, how to be a hero, General Xu has won the award!" ”

"General Mo doesn't have to be too humble, he who can resist the enemy in the country and protect the territory and the people, what is it if he is not a big hero!" Xu Congzhi said excitedly, but then said suspiciously: "General Mo, you should be rewarded after the victory!" Why is he now a general? ”

Mo Li smiled bitterly: "General Xu, this matter is a long story, let's clean up the battlefield first......"

While the two were talking, they saw Zu Dacheng leading a group of generals to come to Mo Li from a short distance on the left, and said loudly: "General Mo, Gonggong Gao is here, hurry up and go with the general army to greet him!" ”

The corners of Mo Li's mouth twitched, damn, Gao Qiqian and Zu Dacheng, the two bastards, were obviously nearby, and they were stunned if they didn't appear earlier, and they attacked the rebels together, obviously they wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, if they came to join the war earlier, why would the new Liao army suffer heavy losses? It's Li Jiucheng, I'm afraid I can't escape.

But although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't say it, after all, there was no evidence, who let them crush people to death at the top of the ranks, not to mention that they are now considered their "life-saving benefactors", so they said in a muffled voice: "The last general knows." ”

Zu Dacheng glanced at Mo Li with a complicated expression, and was about to turn around, Xu Congzhi stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The last general, Xu Congzhi, the deputy general of Laizhou, bows to General Xie for saving his life!" ”

Zu Dacheng didn't know Xu Congzhi, he didn't notice him at first, and when he heard him say that he was the deputy general of Laizhou, he nodded, returned the salute immediately, and said: "Deputy General Xu, please also follow this general army to meet Gonggong Gao!" ”

As he spoke, he lifted the reins of his horse and ran in a northwesterly direction. Mo Li had no choice but to lead the generals to follow with Xu Congzhi.

A group of cavalry from the Beijing camp roared towards Laizhou City, stopped at a place that was still ten zhang away from Moli, lined up on both sides, lined up dozens of zhang away, and immediately the cavalry was dressed in distinct armor, and the guns were like a forest, and they looked majestic.

At the end of the cavalry queue, Gao Qiqian rode a tall horse, dressed in a dark red coat, accompanied by the generals behind him, like a military parade, walked towards Moli and others, and frequently waved to the generals with a smile on his face.

Seeing Gao Qiqian's impassioned smile, Mo Li suddenly felt a tightness in his heart for some reason, and felt a little uneasy for no reason......
