"Da Da Da ......"

The sound was low and distant, like a flute rhyme across the distant mountains, but before the slope, not only rifles, but also mountain cannons took turns firing flowering shells, and the loud explosion was enough to drown out all the noise.

"Da, da, da......"

But in the time of half a cup of tea, the earth trembled violently, and even the river water in the goat's milk ditch shook out countless subtle waves, and the Ming army had just crossed halfway, and Dai Junen felt that something was wrong.

"Cavalry, my lord, this is a cavalry ......"

Dai Junen was taken aback, he only knew that there were many thieves' rangers, but he didn't expect that thieves also had cavalry, listening to the sound, there were at least thousands of cavalry to make such a heavy sound.

The retreating soldiers were still crossing the river, far from the main camp, and if they were cut off by the cavalry and could not withdraw to the main camp in time, it would be the fate of the total annihilation.

And the soldiers retreated backwards, although they could use their shields to protect the vital parts of their bodies, but the speed was very slow, like children, how could they safely retreat if they continued like this?

Dai Junen didn't care about the rifles of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and he immediately gave these soldiers an order: return to the camp as quickly as possible!

The order was given too late!

Two thousand Mongol cavalry, with the momentum of the wind and clouds, had appeared on the battlefield and intercepted the Ming soldiers who were crossing the river.

The Mongolian cavalry didn't say a word, the vanguard slashed and killed, completely curbing the momentum of the retreat of the Ming army, and the rear team had already discharged an arrow attack formation, dividing the Ming army that crossed the sheep milk ditch into two and dividing and encircling.

Qin Danian was overjoyed, "The cavalry is coming, the Ming army can't escape, hurry, pack up the Ming army that has not yet crossed the river!" ”

The Ming army, which had not yet crossed the river, had already discovered the cavalry that appeared on the battlefield, and in order to speed up the retreat, it had changed to running away, leaving its back completely to the gunners of the Mandate of Heaven.

Dai Junen originally wanted to save them, but he didn't expect his order to harm these soldiers instead.

Zhao Guangrui held on to a small tree with a thick bowl mouth, and poked his head out of the forest, "The Metropolitan Governor, five thousand Ming troops, that's it?" ”

"If they refuse to surrender, Pontus will not skimp a bullet!" Li Zicheng Li Zicheng Li Zicheng was in the woods, his body did not move at all, and now Dai Junen is still there, and the Ming army has the backbone in his heart, and he absolutely refuses to surrender, but the slaughter of the Han brothers is really not a taste in his heart.

This is war, if you can't consume the strength of the Ming army, how can you force them down?

Just as Li Zicheng expected, the battle was over, but there was not a single prisoner of war, and the Ming army either died under the rifles of the Mandate of Heaven or under the scimitars of the Mongols!

The Ming army, which had not yet crossed the sheep's milk ditch, was too far away from the Mandate of Heaven Army, almost close to the effective range of rifles, and they would not surrender to the Mandate of Heaven Army, and there was no chance of surrender.

The Ming army that crossed the sheep's milk ditch had no chance of surrendering, and more than 1,000 soldiers were not enough for the Mongolian cavalry! With the murderous nature of the Mongol cavalry, even if the Ming army wanted to surrender, the scimitars in their hands would not stop until the end of the battle.

Dai Junen watched the Ming army being slaughtered by the cavalry, and tried to send soldiers to meet them several times, but was dissuaded by his subordinates: if reinforcements were sent, not only would they not be able to save the besieged soldiers, but I am afraid that even the soldiers sent would not be able to come back!

He slammed the fence of the camp hard, and could only sigh as he looked at the bloody battlefield.

No wonder the vanguard battalion was wiped out, these thieves were even more ferocious than the wolves......

Li Zicheng walked out of the dense forest, came to the slope, and saw that the gunmen were shooting the wounded soldiers of the Ming army, so he said: "Use a waist knife, so you can save some bullets!" ”

"Waist knife?" Qin Danian's eyes rolled, and he didn't care what the metropolitan governor meant, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers: "Stop shooting, use the waist knife instead!" ”

The gunners listened to Qin Danian's words, hurriedly put down their rifles, picked up their scimitars, and jumped off the slope one by one, the camp of the Ming army was far away, and there were Mongolian cavalry guards in front, so they didn't have to worry about it!

Li Zicheng saw that the soldiers were in good spirits, so he said: "Da Nian, can the brothers fight again?" ”

"Fight again?" Qin Danian thought about it for a while, and then understood Li Zicheng's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the morale of the brothers is high......"

Li Zicheng looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was close to Zhongtian, so he said: "There is still half a day, just to solve Dai Junen, lest he escape while the night is blowing." ”

"The Governor ......"

"Da Nian, tell the brothers, speed up the harvesting of the wounded soldiers, and leave those who are close to death alone, and then immediately form a team and cross the goat's milk ditch as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Governor Dadu, his subordinates will go to pass the order...... Qin Danian knew that they were going to face off with Dai Junen on the battlefield, this was the opportunity of the third thousandth household, if he won, maybe his identity as a thousand households, he would have to catch up with Liu Yunshui and their guerrilla generals, as for defeat, Qin Danian did not think about it, as long as Li Zicheng was on the battlefield in person, he had never lost......

Li Zicheng asked his own soldiers to give Li Jibu an order: immediately cross the goat's milk ditch as a team!

More than 2,000 gunners of the Qin Danian and Li Ji divisions of the Mandate of Heaven Army, plus 2,000 Mongolian cavalry of Badasi, all approached the camp of the Ming army, and in terms of numbers, they were already comparable to the Ming army.

Dai Junen couldn't advance or retreat, but he relied on the strong camp and tried in vain to fight the Mandate of Heaven army.

Li Zicheng sent a messenger to Dai Junen, hoping that he would surrender early, so that the soldiers would not lose their lives in vain.

But after the messenger explained his intentions, he didn't see Dai Junen, but was beaten with a mess!

If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't give up! Li Zicheng was furious, and he immediately made military arrangements: Qin Danian's troops were stationed in the northwest of the Ming army camp, Li Ji's troops were stationed in the southwest, and the Mongolian cavalry of Badassi, with strong mobility, was deployed in the east of the camp.

The three are in the shape of "product" to surround the camp of the Ming army in the core, and they are horns of each other, if there is no external reinforcements, it is difficult for Dai Junen to fly with wings!

However, Li Zicheng knew that there were still soldiers of the Ming army in the Jingyu Acropolis, so in order to avoid a long night and many dreams, he decided to start attacking immediately.

Five mountain cannons were transferred and erected in front of the Ming army camp, at a distance of no more than 500 paces, which was almost the minimum range of mountain artillery.

In order not to hurt his own people, Li Zicheng specially summoned the gunner's chief flag officer and the small flag officer, "Are you sure that the flowering shells will only bloom in the camp of the Ming army?" ”

A small flag officer gestured with his hand, and said after a long time: "Don't worry, at such a distance, the flowering bullet will not deviate much, even if it falls outside the camp, it will not accidentally hurt your own people!" ”

Li Zicheng was secretly happy in his heart, and felt that this little flag officer was a little familiar, and after a closer look, it was indeed an acquaintance: when the shelling of Pingtan Fort, it was this little flag officer who first tested the fort, so he smiled and said: "If you can shoot the flowering bullet into the Ming army camp impartially, the governor of Pontus will reward you with ten taels of silver!" ”

Ten taels of silver is a soldier's salary for twenty months, and he can buy twenty stone of fine grain, but Li Zicheng is anxious to take the camp of the Ming army, lest Dai Junen escape at night, so he can't take care of it.

The little flag officer was overjoyed, and he was busy kowtowing to Li Zicheng to thank him, and then went happily.

Li Zicheng didn't wait long, and sure enough, there was a roar of "rumbling", and five flowering bombs, impartial, all fell in the camp of the Ming army, and exploded in the camp again.

The Ming army was in chaos, they suffered a defeat under the slope, 5,000 soldiers were gone, and the only reliance was on the strong camp, but now, the camp is not safe, teach them how to be good......

Outside the camp, the Mandate of Heaven Army is eyeing the camp, as long as it is out of the camp...... The Ming army did not dare to leave the village, so they had to run around in the camp, hoping to dodge the flower bombs.

Dai Junen saw that the Ming army was completely passively beaten, and it was not a thing, if it continued, the morale of the Ming army would be consumed little by little, and at that time......

His heart was full of fear, was the Tianming Army going to kill them all?

He originally had 20,000 soldiers, but now he ...... can only be exchanged for a situation where they are beaten and do not fight back......

There was no way, he let it go, temporarily organized three thousand soldiers, and counted on a breakthrough to the east, wanting to return to the Jingyu Acropolis. He also knew that it was absolutely impossible to completely break through the siege, and he could go one by one, so he gave a military order to the soldiers: once there was a chance, immediately break out, rush back to the Acropolis as soon as possible, and send a message to the Acropolis.

As for what to do with the Acropolis, he really didn't think about it, the flowering bombs of the Ming army were raging in the camp all the time, he couldn't calm down, and the soldiers were even more panicked, so they could only take one step at a time, return to the Acropolis, and rely on the steep terrain and sufficient food, at least they could confront the thieves for a long time.

At this moment, he had forgotten Hong Chengchou's explanation: if he couldn't take Lanzhou, he must fight quickly, don't get entangled with thieves, and return to Guyuan as soon as possible.

The situation on the battlefield is beyond his control.

Dai Junen personally organized three thousand soldiers, commanded by him personally, out of the camp from the east, did not expect to meet the cavalry of Badasi, a burst of slashing, the Ming army lost most of it, forced to retreat to the camp, Dai Junen was once surrounded by the Mongolian cavalry, if it was not for the personal guards desperately rescued, I am afraid that even the camp could not go back.

However, Dai Junen keenly noticed that these cavalrymen were not Han people sitting upright on horseback, not only did they look slightly different, but more importantly, their scimitars!

Machemitar, peculiar to the Mongols!

Could it be that the thieves colluded with the Mongols?

Dai Junen scolded in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, he couldn't fight out of the village, he hid in the camp, and the thieves' flowering bombs were unforgiving, so he went on...... He sighed, sat down on the horse, and drank the tea in front of him, not afraid of the tea burning his throat......

The flowering bombs of the Mandate of Heaven continued to explode in the camp, and several tents were ignited by the fire, but fortunately, the rescue was timely and did not cause a fire!

The soldiers of the Ming army are no longer hiding and hiding, the camp is not safe everywhere, whether they can survive or not, can only be resigned to fate, just tried to break through the siege once, the soldiers who fled back have been frightened, after all, the number of flowering shells is not much, the casualties will not be too large, it is better than being killed by the Mongols!

Dai Junen thought about it carefully, the camp could no longer guarantee the safety of the soldiers, and if he wanted to survive, he had to break through at night!

But what he didn't expect was that the thieves suddenly stopped firing, and there was a rare silence outside the camp for a moment.

He frowned suddenly, what's wrong with the thief? Is it a flowering bullet to tell Xin, or is it going to be forcibly attacked?
