Two men dressed in people's clothes hurried to the ridge, turned over and knelt down: "Dadu Governor, the Ming army has already camped outside the village!" ”

"Xiaomi, get up and speak," Li Zicheng handed the telescope to the soldiers who got up, "You can see clearly, is it a part of the Ming army, or all of them?" ”

"It should be all, the rear team is also coming up," He Xiaomi's eyes flashed with excitement, "Metropolitan Governor, the Ming army just set up a big tent, not even a fence, the subordinates can see it clearly, as soon as the Ming army arrives outside the village, they lie on the ground and sleep......"

"During this time, the Ming army is afraid that it is tired...... Li Zicheng was stunned suddenly, and said hurriedly: "Xiaomi, what are you talking about, the Ming army just laid a big tent?" ”

"Yes, my subordinates couldn't believe it at the time, I thought that the Ming army was going to come and cut down trees, but there was already a ...... of snoring in the big tent."

"The Metropolitan Governor," Li Ji's voice changed, "Do you want to ......?"

Li Zicheng's face had a faint smile, "General Li is saying, let's kill the past now?" ”

"Dadu Governor, since the Ming army does not come to cut down trees and camp, the plan of ambushing on the mountain will be changed," Li Ji said: "The Ming army has been running all morning, and now it is extremely tired, if we kill it now......"

Li Zicheng's heart quickly rose to the thought.

He was originally going to ambush the Ming army in Mengjiazhuang, but the soldiers who were left as rangers to summon the Ming army only arrived at the front, and at least half of the soldiers were still ten miles away.

Li Zicheng did not move, since he wanted to ambush, he would completely defeat the Ming army, if he ambushed the front army, even if he was completely annihilated, the rear army still had combat effectiveness.

The front of the Ming army was resting, most likely on the spot......

Li Zicheng devised several schemes.

First, the Ming army was a short rest, and when the Ming army was eating, the Mandate of Heaven army immediately attacked, at this time the soldiers had no weapons in their hands, and they had no ability to resist and counterattack; Second, if the Ming army wants to set up camp, it will definitely send soldiers to cut down trees in the mountains and forests, and the Mandate of Heaven army will ambush them in the mountains and forests; Third, the Ming army did not cut down trees to set up camp, and the Mandate of Heaven army had to wait until after dark, using the cover of night to launch a surprise attack on the Ming army.

The Ming army set up camp outside the village, and there was no need to cut down trees, so the third option was the most appropriate, but the message He Xiaomi brought back was that the Ming army was extremely tired.

Wait for the enemy to wear themselves out!

When people are extremely tired, they lack the most sense of prevention, and this is an opportunity sent by the Ming army.

At this time, another group of pro-soldiers went up the mountain, and the message they brought back was exactly the same as what He Xiaomi said just now.

Li Zicheng has made up his mind: attack immediately!

There were more than 30,000 people in the six regiments of the Heavenly Mandate Army, except for a very small number of soldiers who used as bait or pretended to be ordinary people to inquire about information along the way, and the main force was all concentrated in the mountains and forests.

Li Zicheng immediately issued an order: the first and second regiments of the fourth battalion, led by Li Jiqin, cut into the Ming army camp from the middle, and did not need to get close, but only used rifles to strafe; The 4th Battalion, the 3rd Regiment, the Niu Kejing Division, and the 4th Regiment, Luo Tai, attacked the rear of the Ming army; Liu Jianyi's division of the third regiment of the independent battalion and Ma Youyi's division of the fourth regiment attacked the front of the Ming army.

The Mandate of Heaven army descended the mountain along the paths, because there were too many people, it took half an hour, the army assembled at the foot of the mountain, and according to Li Zicheng's order, attacked the army in the front and rear, and attacked first, and Li Ji's army appeared on the battlefield last.

There was still a distance of three miles from the main camp of the Ming army, and the Heavenly Mandate Army did not sprint quickly, but marched at a normal speed, and the three divisions had already separated into gaps and were not mixed.

Li Zicheng held a loaded rifle and followed Li Jixing in the middle of the team.

The army traveled two miles and was discovered by the Ming army's sentry, who suddenly saw tens of thousands of troops, knew that it was not good, hurriedly shouted "enemy attack", turned around and ran back.

"Bang"!

Li Zicheng shot into the sky, this shot was the order to attack, and the 30,000 army, like 30,000 tigers descending from the mountain, rushed towards the camp of the Ming army.

At this time, the Ming army was sleeping in the big tent, and when they heard the gunshots, they thought they were dreaming.

Fu Zonglong was awakened by the soldiers, "My lord, the Mandate of Heaven Army is here......

"The Manifest Destiny Army is here? Chase ......" Fu Zonglong got up from the bed with a bone, didn't care about his armor, only found a spear, and was about to run out.

"My lord, the Mandate of Heaven is here......

"What? Stealing camps? Fu Zonglong was stunned for a moment, wasn't the Heavenly Mandate Army driven everywhere, how could he have the courage to steal the camp?

But there was an earth-shattering shout outside the big tent, which made him instantly understand that the message of the guards was not wrong, the Ming army had indeed come to steal the camp, he didn't think much about it, and said hurriedly: "Go and give the order, join forces to resist, and block the first wave of the offensive of the Heavenly Mandate Army." ”

He knew in his heart that the Mandate of Heaven Army was being chased too quickly, this was a rabbit bite, as long as he could block the first wave of the Mandate Army's offensive, and when the officers and soldiers gradually eased up, they would be invincible!

However, as soon as his words fell, the Mandate of Heaven Army had already entered the camp, and the military order could no longer be transmitted.

Fu Zonglong was so anxious that he shouted: "Don't panic, this governor is here, don't panic!" ”

The guards also shouted, hoarse, and finally stabilized the soldiers.

In the front of the Ming army, He Renlong was attacked fiercely, Liu Jianyi took the lead, a spear came out of nowhere, pierced the camp tent several times, and the soldiers behind him also stared at blood-red eyes, as if meeting the enemy of the ninth generation.

The Ming army had already undressed their armor and slept, and they didn't even have weapons on hand, and the soldiers near the edge of the big tent were still asleep, which became the military merit of Liu Jianyi's department.

The shouts woke up the sleeping Ming army, but at this time, Liu Jianyi's troops had already entered the core of the camp, and the Ming army could not establish a defensive formation at all.

Liu Jianyi did not love war, he stabbed with a shot, and did not look at the results of the battle, but rushed forward directly, and the soldiers behind him were all chasing the pace of the main general, but the time of a pillar of incense almost killed the battalion.

There are thousands of cavalry in the Herenlong Division, and if it is a field battle, it may not be lost to Liu Jianyi, but in a hurry, the cavalry either can't find the war horse, or can't find weapons and armor, and the casualties are very heavy.

Seeing that his subordinates had become ghosts under the sword of the Ming army one by one, He Renlong's heart was dripping blood, but the Heavenly Mandate Army attacked too fast and fiercely, and his subordinates could not establish a defensive formation at all.

Seeing that he couldn't resist, He Renlong let out a loud shout and took the lead in fleeing north.

When the soldiers saw that the main general had run away, they no longer had the intention of fighting, so they left the Mandate of Heaven Army and ran with the girl to the north.

Li Guoqi was still fighting hard, but when he saw that He Renlong had run away, he also took his own soldiers and fled north after him.

Liu Jianyi was furious, it was only a moment, the battalion in front of the Ming army had not been killed, and the Ming army ran away like this?

I have never seen such a cowardly Ming army!

He speared for a while, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, chase, these Ming troops are our combat exploits!" ”

"Chase!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers echoed, and they all gave up the camp, and then Liu Jianyi chased north.

Hu Dawei's military camp was finally attacked, and the tidal shouts had already awakened most of the soldiers, knowing that the camp was attacked, and the soldiers did not have time to put on their armor, so they found a knife and gun in a panic, and they went out of the camp to meet the enemy.

Fortunately, it was sunny and daylight, and the soldiers quickly assembled in formation.

It's a pity that what they encountered was the first regiment of the fourth battalion, Zhao Liebu, and the second regiment Liu Zongmin, both of which were equipped with rifles, and tens of thousands of gunners were neat and orderly, and the first row of gunners fired a salvo, which was more than 3,000 bullets.

In the face of infantry at close range, the hit rate of the rifle is almost the maximum, second only to facing a fixed target during drills, and the Ming army has no time to penetrate the armor......

The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven have simply picked up a treasure, and this military exploit will definitely not be small!

When Hu Dawei was in Weishi County, he was shot by the Mandate of Heaven Army, and almost all of the thousands of soldiers who crossed the Jialu River at that time were killed by this rifle.

The Ming army chased after the Mandate of Heaven Army, originally judging that this Mandate of Heaven Army did not have a rifle, so it would chase closely, the moment Hu Dawei heard the gunshot, he knew that the Ming Army had been fooled and had been led by the nose by the Mandate of Heaven!

When Hu Dawei was stunned, the Mandate of Heaven Army had already completed a round of shooting, tens of thousands of bullets were fired, and nearly half of Hu Dawei's troops were killed and wounded.

If it goes on like this, it will only take a sneeze time to run out of 10,000 soldiers......

Hu Dawei did not doubt the power of the rifle of the Mandate of Heaven, he had received it himself, and he almost died under the spear of the Mandate of Heaven, and it was still across the Jialu River at that time......

Since the military situation is not accurate, it is no wonder that the subordinates are ......

Hu Dawei knew that he could not hesitate, and for every moment of hesitation, there would be thousands of casualties among the soldiers......

"General, the Shaanxi soldiers in the north have fled......"

"What?" Hu Dawei took a sideways look, only to find that the Shaanxi soldiers He Renlong and Li Guoqi, who were originally next to the Baoding soldiers, had already become an empty camp in the big tent, except for the screams of the soldiers, and the battle over there had already ended, his lips moved, and he scolded in his heart: "He Renlong, this stupid pig ......"

"General......

Hu Dawei woke up at this time, and he couldn't hesitate any longer, since He Renlong and Li Guoqi had already run away, did he want to stay and break the queen? The Governor wanted to blame, but also to punish He Renlong, and he shouted: "Brothers, retreat north!" ”

Such a military order, for the soldiers in a desperate situation, is tantamount to the sound of heaven, the Ming army shouted, immediately with the tiger might, rushed to the north.

The original retreat was actually a rout.

As soon as Li Ji saw that the Ming army was about to run, he hurriedly gave the order to chase, and the Heavenly Mandate Army followed behind the Ming army's buttocks, constantly harvesting the lives of the Ming army with rifles.

Liu Zongmin's eyes were almost red, he had just joined the battle, and the Ming army was about to flee, he grabbed a rifle, personally shot at the Ming army, and saw that the shot hit a soldier's back, so he felt better and returned the rifle to the soldier.

However, the soldiers of these two regiments of Li Ji's division had rifles in their hands, and in order to maintain their combat effectiveness, they had to constantly stop and reload their bullets, and the speed of the chase was definitely slower than the speed at which the Ming army fled.

Zhao Lie and Liu Zongmin chased for less than two miles, and when the soldiers needed to reload their bullets, they automatically stopped, and there was the main force of the Ming army behind them.

When Hu Dawei ran out of three or four miles, he encountered Liu Jianyi and Ma Youyi of the Heavenly Mandate Army, rushed to kill for a while, and lost many troops.
