The battle lasted for more than half an hour, the Ming army outside the east city, there were less than 1,000 people, although the Ming army outside the north city had the opportunity to climb the ladder, but it was still far from the city, and the ladder was the Ming army forever stepping over.

Hong Chengchou wanted to try one last time, but looking at the Ming army outside the eastern city, he already looked lifeless, so he shook his head and sighed, "Hey......"

"Lord Overseer...... The brothers outside the East City have ...... Already...... Outside the northern city, the brothers showed no sign of climbing to the top of the city...... The Mandate of Heaven seems to have deliberately moved closer, and the closer they get, the higher the accuracy of the fire # gun......"

Hong Chengchou had a cold face, staring closely at the Ming army in front of him, how much he hoped that these thousands of selected soldiers could play some miracles, even if they were driven back to the city after climbing to the top of the city.

However, the miracle did not happen, as time went by, the casualties of the Ming army became heavier and heavier, especially under the eastern city, there should not be a complete hundred households now, this is to be placed in other armies, and the soldiers may have been defeated long ago......

"Keep fighting, Lord Overseer, I'm afraid the brothers will run out......"

Hong Chengchou was unwilling, but he understood that if he continued to fight, there would be no effect except for killing and wounding the Ming army in vain. Today's siege has been completely defeated, and after going back, we must think of another strategy.

However, in the face of such a Mandate of Heaven army, what else can be done?

"Lord Overseer......"

Hong Chengchou suddenly came to his senses, every moment he hesitated, the Ming army would suffer some casualties in vain, and it would be hard to hold on, there was absolutely no good result, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Withdraw!" ”

The morale of the Ming army was already at a low point, but Hong Chengchou refused to admit defeat, so he forcibly held on, and the retreating military order was given, and the soldiers suddenly rushed back, and they didn't even need the ladders and other equipment for the siege.

Mountains are collapsing, and the sea is receding!

The speed of the retreat of the Ming army was even faster than the rout.

"Attack!"

Li Zicheng immediately gave Liu Yunshui the military order he had been waiting for for a long time, and the gunners of the Heavenly Mandate Army at the head of the city also stepped up their shooting, and the Ming army's back was not protected by any protection, which was the best meat target.

The gunners at the head of Dongcheng have already adjusted the muzzle, the target is Hong Chengchou and his team, the gunners have long been ready, but they dare not fire easily, if Hong Chengchou is shelled, regardless of whether there are casualties or not, the Ming army will inevitably retreat, which will inevitably disrupt the battle plan of the Grand Governor.

Now that the Ming army has retreated, they no longer have any concerns.

"Boom...... Long ......"

Four flowering bombs, drawing a beautiful arc, flew eastward from the head of the city, all of them were aimed at Hong Chengchou, but the distance was too far, the quasi-head was discounted, the nearest flowering bomb, still twenty steps away, Hong Chengchou did not have any direct losses, but the soldiers who supervised the battle with him were blown up, and the blood mist even flew to the head of his war horse, and the war horse was so frightened that it looked up to the sky and neighed.

Hong Chengchou was taken aback, the artillery of the Ming army was so sharp, why didn't he fire it early? Is everything a conspiracy?

"Lord Overseer, it's dangerous here, get out of here!"

Hong Chengchou didn't think much about it, the Ming army had already retreated, and there was no point in supervising the battle, so he turned his horse's head and took the lead in running towards the valley road.

Although the gunners adjusted the angle according to the landing point of the flowering shell, Hong Chengchou had already driven into the valley road, left the range of the howitzer, and opened fire on the retreating Ming army.

"Da Da Da ......"

The Ming army wanted to avoid Xining rifles and howitzers, and did not pay attention to the direction of the West City Gate of Guguan, when a group of cavalry suddenly rushed over, listening to the sound of dense horse hooves, there should be no less than a thousand horsemen, and the soldiers were suddenly in chaos.

The fire # guns and artillery on the head of the city shoot at the city, just like a slingshot to hit a bird, with a great accident, the soldiers still have the possibility of escaping, but the cavalry attack, that is, the farmer ploughs the land, it is to be fully plowed down, as long as it is caught up by the cavalry, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

The sound of horses' hooves was more terrifying than the sound of gunfire, and thousands of Ming troops crowded into the open area east of Guguan, but to flee for their lives, they had to cross the valley road to the east.

The Ming army knew that this was powerful, and in order to survive, they didn't care about the gunfire and artillery behind them, and they all rushed into the valley road.

But suddenly entering the valley road from the open area, it was like encountering a bottleneck, and the Ming army was very crowded, and after a while, the Ming army that fell to the ground had blocked the valley road, and it was difficult for the soldiers behind to move forward.

"Kill!" Liu Yunshui jumped on his horse with a gun and took the lead in killing the Ming army.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

The cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven Army are all holding spears in their hands, using the speed of war horses, to sweep towards the Ming army, they are the same as Liu Yunshui, they have waited too long, the infantry brothers have already shot most of the Ming army, and now it is their turn to make meritorious contributions.

The cavalry in the form of several columns to kill the Ming army blocking the valley mouth, and the Ming army outside the valley mouth was already broken, in front of the cavalry, if the infantry could not form a formation, they could only be the target of their training.

Although the Ming army knew the importance of forming a formation, at this time, Hong Chengchou had already entered the valley road, and there was a lack of strong generals to command, so he could not form a formation at all, so he could only let the Heavenly Mandate Army rush and kill.

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven had caught up with the Ming army, and countless spears, while emitting a chilling glow, stabbed into the flesh of the Ming army.

In addition to desperately crawling towards the people in front, the Ming army could only watch the spear pierce into the back of the heart of his companions, but the valley road in front of him had been blocked, and the Ming army that fell at the mouth of the valley road had even exceeded the height of the Ming army.

"These fools, knowing that they can't get by, still rush forward!" Liu Yunshui burst into the front of the team, and the cavalry of a small banner stabbed eleven Ming soldiers to death in the blink of an eye, and he struggled to pull out his spear, and the tip of the black spear was full of blood, the blood of the Ming army.

This kind of battle is very unenjoyable, and it is completely a one-sided slaughter!

Even if the Ming army turns back to fight and his subordinates have certain casualties, Liu Yunshui's mood will be better, such an opponent, Liu Yunshui is really not interested.

He put away his spear and raised it up to the sky, "Brothers, kill, kill the Bright Army!" ”

These cavalrymen are all veterans, and the bloodshed on the battlefield will only make them more excited, they are different from Liu Yunshui, no matter what kind of opponent they are, the enemy's head is military merit.

The cavalry did not stand still like the infantry and fought fiercely, they made full use of the speed of their horses, and the spears were poked out, whether or not they pierced the back of the opponent's heart, and the speed of the horses was basically undiminished, giving up the battlefield to the brothers behind.

But today's Ming army, almost standing in place to be slaughtered by the Mandate of Heaven, Liu Yunshui took advantage of the situation, turned the column into a horizontal team, the cavalry rushed forward directly with spears and bulldozers, and the Ming army on the catch was suddenly poked out of a wrist-thick blood hole, and the Ming army, which was lucky to have no casualties, did not have to be happy for too long, and there was a cavalry queue behind.

The Ming army had no way to enter the heavens and no door, and could not organize a formation to fight against the Mandate of Heaven Army, so they could only throw down their weapons and surrender on their knees.

Liu Yunshui was very unhappy, but the Ming army had surrendered, and he couldn't kill them all, although the Mandate of Heaven army did not have the military discipline of preferential treatment of prisoners of war, but the construction of Longyou by the metropolitan governor required a large number of manpower, and these prisoners of war could just be converted into labor.

The surrender allowed the Ming army to save their lives, they were like newborn crabs, they were stripped out one by one, and the valley road was restored to unblocked, but Hong Chengchou had already escaped from the valley road and joined the Ming army left behind in the big tent.

The soldiers who escaped with him were less than 1,000 people, plus the 5,000 Ming troops who stayed behind in the big tent and the 5,000 Ming troops stationed on both sides of the valley road, and his 30,000 Chinese army was only more than 10,000 people left at this time.

Coupled with the 10,000 Ming troops lost by Liu Chenggong and the Ming army lost in the last attack on Guguan, Hong Chengchou had already suffered nearly 40,000 casualties, and he was no longer able to launch a new attack on Guguan.

Back to the big tent, Hong Chengchou kicked over several Maza, "This Li Zicheng...... This Mandate of Heaven ......"

"Lord Overseer, Manifest Destiny ......"

"Get out, get out...... Hong Chengchou pulled out his waist knife, first chopped the air, and then split the square table in half, "You all get out of here!" ”

All the guards were so frightened that they immediately snatched out the tent, and the Overseer was so angry that no one dared to touch his moldy head.

Hong Chengchou calmed down, carefully went through the battles of the Heavenly Mandate Army several times in his mind, and unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat: The Heavenly Mandate Army did not fully exert its strength!

No matter how many people the Ming army attacked the city, there was no return, sometimes seeing that the soldiers were about to climb the city, but they just couldn't cross this chasm, especially the shelling just now, they were clearly within the range of the artillery of the Mandate of Heaven, but the Mandate of Heaven Army did not open fire, until they issued the order to retreat...... The Mandate of Heaven Army is obviously hiding its strength.

Hong Chengchou suddenly understood: The solid pass of the Mandate of Heaven Army is really impregnable, and Li Zicheng is just luring himself to attack the city, and in the process of attacking the city, the Ming army will be annihilated on a large scale!

Judging from the two sieges, the Mandate of Heaven Army did not suffer many casualties, and he actually lost 40,000 soldiers! Forty thousand...... How many 40,000 of his subordinates are there? Can it withstand a few tosses? No wonder Wang Yongxiang, Cao Wenzhao, and Liu Chenggong were all defeated in successive battles......

The Mandate of Heaven Army, the Mandate of Heaven Army, Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng, what kind of thieves are you? Is this still a thief?

Hong Chengchou is not short of soldiers, he is the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, and the entire border army of Shaanxi is under his control, but even if all the border troops are transferred, he cannot ensure that the solid pass is broken and the Mandate of Heaven army is eliminated, not to mention that the thieves in northern Shaanxi have not yet been cleared, and there are Mongolians outside the pass, if all the border troops are transferred over, what should be done in northern Shaanxi?

Compared with the depression of the Ming army's big tent, Guguan is a sea of joy, Liu Yunshui annihilated the remnants of the Ming army, and captured more than 1,000 people, 18,000 Ming troops who attacked Guguan, except for Hong Chengchou's own soldiers, were almost completely annihilated.

Ma Youshui Department of ten hundred households of the auxiliaries, with the division of the war in the east city, the north city, this battle annihilated more than 17,000 soldiers of the Ming army, far more than the number of soldiers in the Heavenly Mandate Army, is a fruitful "effective battle", according to the prior agreement with Li Zicheng, they will all be promoted to soldiers!

Although the soldiers do not have any big expectations, there will be no shortage of silver rewards and monthly tickets for war achievements, and some generals will be promoted because of their war achievements.

Zhou Bin's auxiliaries were cleaning up the battlefield outside the city, while Liu Yunshui hurriedly came to Li Zicheng, "Dadu Governor, there are only more than 10,000 people left in the Ming army, should we take the initiative to attack and destroy Hong Chengchou together?" ”
