Li Zicheng had already received information that the Ming army had left the city, but the ranger told him that the Ming army was divided into two parts, the front was about 600 households, and the rear was only 400 households.
Ming Jun: What's going on?
There are about ten hundred households in the city, and almost all of them are out of the city now, aren't they afraid of the rogue attacking the city? Knowing this, he should have left an ambush under the city and took the opportunity to take Shangzhou City, but it was too late now, from Tumen Nunnery to Shangzhou City, there was only one mountain path, and the Ming army came from this path, and the Mandate of Heaven army could not get close to the city.
However, if the Ming army outside the city is completely annihilated, and there are no defenders in Shangzhou City, it will be self-defeating.
The Ming army out of the city was a little strange, the number of pioneers in the front was even more than the commander in the rear, did they have to fight separately? It's not like, from Shangzhou City to Tumen Nunnery, he personally investigated, there is only a narrow and crooked path, that is, to divide the troops, or to take the same road, he wants to take the opportunity to sneak attack Shangzhou City, there is no way.
Li Zicheng decided not to care about the Ming army, and let the rangers explore the itinerary of the Ming army, so that both Ming troops could enter the ambush circle as much as possible.
Although the rangers continue to bring back the information of the Ming army, but most of them transmit messages along the valleys on both sides of the trail, there is no ready-made road, the passage is not smooth, in order to avoid mistakes, let the rangers send a message to the soldiers on the periphery, once the Ming army enters the ambush circle, immediately release fireworks.
The front of the Ming army has already entered the ambush circle, Li Zicheng visually inspected, it was almost only four hundred steps, but the fireworks still did not rise into the air, and the Ming army in the rear was still outside the ambush circle.
Li Zicheng frowned lightly, if this continues, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Ming army will enter the range of a hundred paces, and if the distance is closer, the rifle will not be good, do you want the brothers to fight with their waist knives?
The Heavenly Mandate Army occupies the advantage in numbers, and there are thousands of cavalry, there is no suspense about the victory or defeat itself, the key is the number of casualties, if it were not for the fear of casualties among the soldiers, it should have attacked Shangzhou City in the first place.
Although the marching speed of the Ming army was very slow, it was always advancing, and it was only two hundred steps away from the location of the ambush, and if the Ming army sent out rangers, it should be possible to see the Mandate of Heaven army lying behind the hillock.
Fortunately, this Ming army was too careless, except for looking east and west on both sides of the mountain road, and did not send rangers to open the way in front.
What to do?
Do you let the Ming army advance, or take the initiative to attack and annihilate this Ming army first?
Li Zicheng used the cover of thorns to stare at the Ming army that was approaching step by step, seeing that the soldiers were looking around, he suddenly had an idea, he called two soldiers, whispered a few words, the soldiers nodded, left the crowd, bypassed from both sides, and reached the side of the Ming army.
Ai Wenbin couldn't see the rogues, and was in shock, when he suddenly heard a crisp sound on the side, as if someone was walking in the mountains, accidentally stepped on the loose rocks, and the rocks rolled down the hillside and fell to the bottom of the valley along the mountain......
The guards beside him also heard it, and hurriedly said, "My lord, there is someone here ......."
"Shh......hhh
The soldiers nodded, walked lightly to the side of the front, to the slope, looked down, not even a mouse, they were not at ease, and tried to go down and grope for a while, still no one was seen, so they returned to Ai Wenbin's side, "My lord, there are no rogues, I am afraid that the army has frightened the beasts in the mountains......"
At this moment, there was also the sound of a stone falling into the valley on the left, and Ai Wenbin wondered, could it be a beast again? He called on a few more soldiers to investigate, but there was no one to be seen.
Ai Wenbin frowned, since there are no rogues in Tumen Nunnery, then the rogues must be in Yangxie Village, and the soldiers have seen the rogues set up camp here, no matter whether the rogues are running or not, they have to go over to take a look.
But it was just like that, after less than a quarter of an hour's delay, the situation changed.
In the valley not far behind, a blue firework suddenly rose and soared into the sky, "popping", and exploded a colorful meteor shower......
Ai Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "It's not good, there are ambushes in the rogue!" He had been walking at the front of the line proudly, but when he saw the fireworks, he quickly retreated and hid in the crowd of soldiers.
Sure enough, there was a "bang" sound, and the Ming army suddenly fell into a large area, and this sound was also heard on the trail behind.
Ai Wenbin was shocked in his heart, knowing that he had fallen into the trap of the rogue, and the back road had been cut off, he didn't know if Zheng Guodong had come, thinking of his relationship with Zheng Guodong, if Zheng Guodong had not entered the ambush circle of the rogues at this time, most of them would not have reinforced him, and he didn't feel half cold in his heart!
"My lord, the rogue is ahead......"
Ai Wenbin looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, and sure enough, the sound came from the front, and there was a looming spark, and behind the slope, a large amount of white smoke was rising......
Could it be that the rogues use firearms?
Ai Wenbin had already seen countless human heads, but most of them were exposed, and under the visual inspection, there was at least a hundred and fifty paces away, and he was even more surprised in his heart, could the rogue firearms have such a range? Neither the bows and arrows of the Ming army, nor the fire # guns, could reach this distance......
He couldn't believe it at all, but what was happening in front of him was real, Ai Wenbin directly ignored the screams of the wounded soldiers, and quickly calculated in his heart.
Li Zicheng saw that the Ming army was still more than 100 steps away, and it was impossible to hurt the Heavenly Mandate Army, so he asked the soldiers to shout slogans to the Ming army, they were all Han brothers, and he really didn't want to kill more.
"Those who descend will not die!"
"Those who descend will not die!"
"Those who descend will not die!"
……
The shouts of the Mandate of Heaven Army, wave after wave, the casualties of the Ming army continued to expand, and at this moment, the ground in the valley in front began to tremble, at first faintly, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.
The Ming army has changed their faces, so far, they have no chance to fight back at all, they are all beaten in vain, and there are still cavalry......
Seeing the continuous fall of his companions and the various screams of hundreds of soldiers, the Ming army's heart changed, but no one dared to surrender first.
Like the surrender of the rogue, Ai Wenbin can't afford to lose that person, but in the current situation, there is also a dense sound of gunfire from the rear, and they obviously can't go back!
"If you don't surrender, kill them all!"
The Mandate of Heaven has changed its slogan, and along with the soldiers who are shooting, they are also shouting with everyone.
"Da Da Da ......"
The cavalry dressed in the armor of the Ming army finally appeared on the battlefield, Ai Wenbin thought it was reinforcements from somewhere at first, but when he saw the cavalry clearly waving the flag of the Kyushu army, he knew that it was the Liukou who seized the armor of the Ming army......
"Adult ......"
Ai Wenbin was anxious, if this continues, in half an hour, the soldiers will be killed and wounded, what should I do? He thought about it until now, he didn't have a definite idea, and he was still thinking about whether he could get lucky and return to the city, but when he saw the cavalry of the rogues, he was already desperate in his heart, if he escaped, how could the infantry outrun the cavalry?
The front and back were blocked, and there were cavalry, it seemed that he could only run to the dense forest on both sides, even the cavalry could not catch up, he was waiting for the order, he didn't want to make a fuss behind, and there was a chaotic footstep, turned around and looked, it turned out to be Zheng Guodong, at this time, he couldn't care about the thorns between the two, and hurriedly said: "General Zheng, what is the situation behind?" ”
When Zheng Guodong saw Ai Wenbin, he had a glimmer of hope at first, but Ai Wenbin was inferior to himself, and there were more casualties, so his heart was cold, and he said urgently: "The back road was cut off by the rogue, and there is no way back, the brothers have suffered huge casualties, and the rogue firearms are too sharp, and the brothers have no power to fight back at all......"
What other soldiers are talking about, how strong is the combat effectiveness, in front of the rogue, is it still the same to be slaughtered? Ai Wenbin glanced at Zheng Guodong with contempt, and said: "Brothers, break through from both sides, both sides are downhill, and the cavalry cannot pass......"
"My lord, there are cliffs on both sides, and the brothers can't go down at all......"
Ai Wenbin looked up and saw that it was the soldier who had gone down to both sides to investigate the situation earlier, his heart was half cold, and the waist knife in his hand fell to the ground, but he didn't notice it.
"Kill ......"
When Ai Wenbin and Zheng Guodong were talking, the cavalry of the Heavenly Mandate Army had already arrived, and He Xiaomi, the official of the Thousand Households, followed Li Zicheng's side, leading the troops alone for the first time from the Thousand Households Lei Wan Army, and his heart was extremely excited, he raised his waist knife and rushed to the front of the cavalry.
"Kill ......"
Hundreds of cavalry responded, this terrifying sound, through the valley reverberation, more and more excited, the two Ming troops, are both legs trembling, liver and intestines broken, but the main general has not yet expressed his position, they dare not say anything, only begging eyes, looking at their respective main generals......
Ai Wenbin's waist knife fell to the ground, but he came to his senses, the cavalry of the rogue is here to clean up the battlefield, and in the time of a pillar of incense, the hundreds of Ming troops left on the battlefield will become ghosts under their knives, his face was pale, he waved his arms weakly, and muttered: "Surrender ......"
The sound was not loud, but for the soldiers, it was the most beautiful sound, and the soldiers who were close to Ai Wenbin threw away the weapons in their hands, held their heads in their hands, and fell to their knees......
The soldiers in the distance didn't hear Ai Wenbin's voice at all, but they were already ready to surrender, since someone knelt down to surrender, they didn't say a word, they also threw down their weapons, followed suit, and knelt on the ground.
"Stop shooting!" Li Zicheng saw that the Ming army knelt down in a large area, so he issued a military order, for the Mandate of Heaven Army, prisoners of war are the best labor force, in Shangluo Mountain, for the time being, I don't know what they can do, there is really nothing to do, let them go to Sichuan to build roads is also good.
Zheng Guodong saw that all Ai Wenbin's soldiers had surrendered, and the cavalry of the Liukou were all soldiers who rushed towards him, and hurriedly said: "Surrender, quickly put down the swords and guns......
"When the ......"
Countless knives and guns were thrown in one place, metal collided, and the sound of Qingyue sounded, and under the threat of the cavalry of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the soldiers of Shangzhou City, like the government soldiers, were all around their main generals, kneeling in a large area......
Lei Wanjun only felt a flower in front of him, and the sky seemed to be a lot brighter, he thought he had seen it wrong, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, that's right, the Ming army had already surrendered, except for the two of them standing, and a large area fell on the ground.
Ma Qiao, Lao Tzu was so unlucky, he led the troops for the first time, but the Ming army surrendered without a single sword! He scolded secretly, undecided in his heart, he didn't cut a knife, did most of the governors count my military merits?
Lei Wanjun had nowhere to go, he really wanted to grab a few soldiers and slash them in the front chest and back, but the Metropolitan Governor was watching from the side, he naturally didn't dare, so he had to hate and slash the knife at a crooked brain tree at the foot of the mountain......
