Cao Bianjiao had countless questions in his heart, but in a hurry, he only heard the guards say that the rogues in the city were called the "Heavenly Mandate Army", and the rest didn't know anything.

What to do?

Is it left to the Mandate of Heaven? The Mandate of Heaven army only opened artillery, and did not approach it, and the Ming army had no possibility of fighting back at all, if it had not marched in a hurry at the beginning, it carried some artillery...... Even if it's a tiger squat cannon...... At least not in vain!

"Commander-in-Chief......

"Oh?" Cao Bianjiao knew that every moment of hesitation, the soldiers would increase some casualties, and the casualties were in vain, and the guards couldn't wait, let alone ordinary soldiers?

It seems that tonight's casualties will only have to wait until tomorrow to take revenge......

He was helpless, so he had to wave his hand and said coldly: "Withdraw the army, retreat to the north!" ”

"Yes, Chief Soldier!"

The military order from the personal guards, for the Ming army, is tantamount to a life-saving charm, the Ming army opened the fence one after another, fled to the north, but the Ming army that fled first, did not completely open the fence in the north, the soldiers behind crowded together, and suddenly squeezed a large area!

The soldiers behind them, if they want to escape, can only trample on their companions, and they can't see clearly when it's dark, and whether they are dead or alive, it is the most important thing to escape for their lives......

Although Cao Bianjiao kept shouting, it was all covered by the explosion of the flowering bomb, and the Ming soldiers were also deaf!

The fire of the Ming army's camp was as bright as day, and the soldiers fled the situation, and the Tianming army on the opposite side could see it clearly. ”

"Kill ......"

The gunners let out a shout, until now, it was all the artillery singing a one-man show, they couldn't wait for a long time, the Ming army was out of range of rifles, and they had to get close in order to effectively destroy the enemy.

The gunners had long since been loaded with bullets, their fingers hooked on the trigger, and they were already aiming while they pursued in a neat queue.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The Mandate of Heaven army approached the camp of the Ming army, and when they came within the range of the rifle, they immediately began to shoot, and at this time, they didn't care about the salvo, the Ming army was running around one by one, and the salvo was too wasteful of bullets.

The camp of the Ming army is already a sea of fire, and the soldiers who have not escaped do not need to be taken care of, and the gunners of the Mandate of Heaven army outflanked them from both sides of the camp, as long as they see the figure of the Ming army, whether they are wounded or not, they will be illuminated by countless bullets......

Song Wen followed the soldiers in the back row to the camp of the Ming army, and saw that the Ming army in front of him had fled far away, and the gunners could not catch up at all, so he lit a small flag and waved it in the air.

Li Guo saw Song Wen's signal, and immediately whipped his horse, "Brothers, it's finally our cavalry's turn, kill!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill......"

The cavalry responded, pulled out their waist knives one by one, slapped the horse's buttocks first, and ran towards the Ming army in front.

Li Guo did not pursue this time, but directly cut into the Ming army, first divided and surrounded the Ming army, and then eliminated little by little, although the sky was dark, but his heart was bright, there are not many such opportunities, most of the governors have always disliked the slaughter of defeated soldiers, most of them are just forced landings.

Like today, you can do whatever you want, kill as you want, as long as the Ming army is annihilated, there were not many opportunities before, and I am afraid there will not be too many in the future.

The soldiers' minds were almost the same as Li Guo's, while wantonly slashing and killing the Ming army, they let out a cry of pleasure, and every knife and shot would arouse their wildness, just like when they slashed and killed the Mongols in Helan Mountain, or the Jurchens in Daba Mountain......

At this time, the soldier with the gun regretted it a little, how could the spear have a steel knife to enjoy?

The Ming army was frightened by the flowering bullets of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and was ruthlessly hit by the rifle, and then encountered the wolf-like cavalry of the Tianming Army, and the three souls had already gone to the two and a half souls, leaving only the half soul behind the buttocks.

The cries, begging for mercy, and screams are all in the ears, but the cavalry of the Mandate of Heaven is rising, who cares if the opponent lives or dies?

Li killed and chased, until the sky was slightly bright, and the movement of the Ming army could not be heard in front of him, so he collected the troops and returned, harvested the wounded soldiers along the way, and reached the camp of the Ming army, and the fire gradually went out.

Song Wen greeted him, "How is it, General Li, why are there no prisoners of war?" How much did the Ming army run? ”

"In such a dark night, there are prisoners of war who can't take care of them, so they simply kill them, and the governor of the capital doesn't let us keep prisoners of war," Li paused suddenly, looked at the gradually darkening sky from afar, and said in a half-loud voice: "I don't know if there is a total annihilation of the Ming army, and I can't hear the message of the Ming army in front of me......"

"It's good if you don't have it," Song Wen said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go back to the city first, after dawn, if the Ming army doesn't approach, let's clean up the battlefield again!" ”

"Back to the city!" Li Guo is still unsatisfied, it would be nice if there was another skirmish, I hope that after dawn, the Ming army will still be like Cao Bianjiao, directly approaching the city, so that the Heavenly Mandate Army has the opportunity to continue to sneak attack.

Li Zicheng had already gotten up and listened to the reports of Li Guo and Song Wen, but he was a little sorry, the soldiers of the Ming army were all Han strongmen, how good it would be if they stayed to build roads, but it was a pity!

However, he did not blame the two, on the battlefield, the first consideration was victory and annihilation, and if the soldiers were to be afraid in order to get prisoners of war, it would be worth the loss.

Cao Bianjiao was defeated, whether he was completely annihilated or not, the goal of the Mandate of Heaven Army was achieved: every time he fought with the Mandate of Heaven Army, he was defeated, and I don't know if Hong Chengchou would still have the confidence to recapture Hanzhong Mansion from the hands of the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Li Zicheng is not worried about fighting Hong Chengchou's army now, he is thinking about the future, after he leaves, Hong Chengchou had better not stare at Hanzhong Mansion.

In the camp of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou was awakened by the guards before he got up, "Lord Overseer, General Cao is back, waiting to see Lord Overseer......"

"Mr. Cao? He is not under the city of Hanzhongfu, what is he doing when he comes back now? Hong Chengchou rubbed his sleepy eyes while thinking about it, and was secretly surprised in his heart, "Quick, let Mr. Cao come in......"

Hong Chengchou quickly put on his coat, and before he could freshen up, Cao Bianjiao had already entered the big tent, turned over and bowed to the ground, with a handful of snot and tears, "Lord Overseer, subordinates...... Subordinate......"

"What happened? Mr. Cao got up first and then said! Although Hong Chengchou didn't know, he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

After Cao Bianjiao got up, he wiped his tears and said, "Lord Overseer, defeated, and his subordinates were stolen by the rogue......

"You've been fighting with the rogues for a long time, how could you be stolen by the rogues?" Hong Chengchou frowned, looking like he hated iron but not steel, "What about the casualties of the soldiers?" ”

"It's gone...... Cao Bianjiao said, "Brothers......"

"It's good that there are no casualties," Hong Chengchou's brows stretched slightly, "Which part of this is this?" Didn't the imperial court say that the Liukou had been surrounded between Huguang and Henan? ”

"Lord Overseer," Cao Bianjiao was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, but at this point, he couldn't care about anything, and it was up to the Overseer to kill or chop, "Brothers...... The subordinates were attacked by surprise, and the whole army was ...... Wiped ......"

"Annihilation? What the? Hong Chengchou was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, he turned around and stared at Cao Bianjiao viciously, eager to scoop saliva and swallow him, "Cao Zongbing, what are you talking about, being attacked by the rogues, and the five thousand soldiers were wiped out?" ”

Cao Bianjiao was glared at by Hong Chengchou, he wanted to die, he did make an unforgivable mistake, five thousand soldiers were gone, and the opponent was still a rogue with particularly scummy combat effectiveness, even if the Overseer did not hold him accountable, he could not forgive himself.

He avoided Hong Chengchou's gaze and looked blankly outside the tent, a round of red sun was rising from the east, and at the entrance and exit of the big tent, a golden light was sprinkled.

Cao Bianjiao sighed and said, "Lord Overseer, it is really the fault of your subordinates, and your subordinates are willing to accept any punishment from Lord Overseer!" ”

"Punishment? Can the punishment be exchanged for the lives of 5,000 soldiers? Why are you so confused......" Hong Chengchou's heart suddenly moved, Cao Bianjiao is not a young chick who has just debuted, when Cao Wenzhao was alive, he had already made a name for himself, and he was called "General Cao" with his uncle Cao Wenzhao!

…… Cao Bianjiao is not only brave in battle, but also deeply versed in strategy, and has a lot of experience in fighting against the rogues......

Hong Chengchou thought about it like this, and gradually calmed down, "General Cao, you will tell me the details, and this overseer will decide how to punish you, if there is half a sentence, it will definitely be punished heavily!" ”

"Yesterday, I rushed to Hanzhong Mansion, and in order to better control the four gates of Hanzhong Mansion, my subordinates set up a large camp three miles below the city......"

"What, Sanri?" Hong Chengchou's expectant heart could no longer be calm, "The military camp is three miles below the city, if there is a red-clothed cannon, it can be attacked from the city, what else do you need to steal the camp?" ”

Knowing that Cao Bianjiao's entire army was annihilated, it was definitely not Liukou who fired artillery from the city, Hong Chengchou was still angry, as a victorious general on the battlefield, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

"Subordinate...... At that time, his subordinates considered that there was no artillery in the city of Hanzhong Mansion, so there should be no artillery in the Liukou," Cao Bianjiao said: "When the Liukou sneak attacked, it started with artillery, Lord Overseer, Liukou's artillery, it's really strange......"

"How strange?"

"The rogue seems to have improved the captured artillery," Cao Bianjiao said indignantly: "After the shell landed, the subordinates found out that it was not a solid shell, and it could explode twice!" ”

"Explosion?" Hong Chengchou was taken aback, and said hurriedly: "You said, Liukou used a flowering bomb?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's the Blossom Bullet, so the Overseer already knows?" Cao Bianjiao was very surprised, since the Overseer knew that the Liukou had flowering bullets, why didn't he remind himself earlier?

Hong Chengchou's heart sank, touched his chin, and said half-loudly: "General Cao Bing, who is the leader of the rogue in Hanzhong Mansion City?" ”

"I heard what the Mandate of Heaven Army is, my subordinates have never heard of it before, and I don't know who the leader is......"

"Ah......" Hong Chengchou was stunned, the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground, but he was dazed, and muttered: "It's him, it's really him, it turns out that the Heavenly Mandate Army has gone south......"
