Li Zicheng, who had been standing at the head of the city and barely moved, was keenly aware of the change in the rhythm of the Ming army's attack, "Liu Chenggong, is this not enough casualties?" If Wang Anping had told me that he had been rebelled, I would really believe it! ”

He Xiaomi's expression became solemn, for him, the safety of the Metropolitan Governor is more important than the consolidation of the pass and the annihilation of the enemy, "The Ming Army is at the end of the road, beware of the vicious dog biting people, the Metropolitan Governor, do you want to avoid it first?" ”

"What are you afraid of, the Ming army has even begun to attack the city with archers, how long can it last?" Li Zicheng saw that the arrows at the head of the city were much weaker, so he pushed away the shields on both sides of his body and smiled contemptuously, "The end of the strong crossbow!" ”

The Ming army's offensive really did not last long, and under the rain of bullets and bullets of the Heavenly Mandate Army, a trace of morale that had been gathered with great difficulty was declining little by little.

"The more you attack, the more you die", the Ming army gradually understood this truth, and also slowed down the speed of the attack, and was able to hide behind the shield for a moment, maybe the next moment, the adults will have to withdraw the army.

Liu Chenggong saw that the Ming army had not yet succeeded, and the offensive had slowed down, and he once again stepped into the rhythm of being slaughtered, and he was eager to go into battle in person to replace these useless wastes.

"My lord, our army has suffered too many casualties, and it is ...... under visual inspection"

"How? Say! Liu Chenggong gritted his teeth and glared at the guard fiercely, he was on fire, and when he saw the guard talking, he wanted to slash him.

The guards knew that the adults were angry, so they had to bite the head and say: "My lord, visually, our army's casualties have exceeded 5,000 ......."

"Five thousand? Profound...... Yes? Liu Gongcheng was stunned for a while, his eyes were round, and the corners of his open mouth drooled without knowing it, plus yesterday's losses, the casualties have reached eighty percent, is this still a fart battle?

What's the use of keeping officers if the soldiers run out? Thinking of the Governor, who has always been strict in governing the army, he couldn't help but shudder, his brain cleared up, and he hurriedly said: "Quickly pass the order, withdraw the army!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The Ming army suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, especially the strong attack just now, which only blossomed and did not bear fruit, and the morale had already dropped to the bottom.

Defeat is like a mountain!

Although the Ming army was not defeated, it could not be attacked for a long time, and the soldiers were lost, and the rout was already eight or nine ten, and the original neat shield wall collapsed, and the soldiers rushed to flee back.

As the shield wall was torn apart, the back of the Ming army began to be exposed to the guns of the Mandate of Heaven.

One trades off the other.

The soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven Army understand that today's battle is coming to an end, the Ming army has suffered such heavy casualties, and will never attack again, once they escape the range of the rifle, it is impossible for them to make meritorious service again, especially the auxiliary soldiers who picked up the rifle for the first time to participate in the battle, they are even more anxious, the first time to participate in the battle, this is their last chance.

The back is bare, but it is much wider than the ribs on both sides, as if the wooden target for training has been doubled out of thin air, and the battle has only now come to the best opportunity, and they can't wait for the second shot!

The Metropolitan Governor was watching the battle at the head of the city, and he beat the water dogs again, how could the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army not be excited?

He Xiaomi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after worrying for most of the morning, the Ming army finally retreated, "Governor Dadu, the Ming army has withdrawn!" ”

Li Zicheng looked at the chaotic Ming army and smiled coldly, "Withdraw the troops, at this time, can they still withdraw the troops?" Herald, signal! ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

After paying another wave of casualties, the Ming army finally withdrew from the attack range of the Mandate of Heaven, and when they saw the bullets falling on the wounded soldiers behind, they unconsciously touched their heads and tore off their bulky helmets - they finally picked up a life!

In the two days of siege, both soldiers and officers realized the strength of the Mandate of Heaven Army, they were by no means ordinary thieves, even if they were thieves, they also cultivated the climate, and they became refined over time, if they hadn't retreated quickly just now, they would have been like those poor companions at this moment, and they would have to watch the fortified pass in the barren mountains forever, no matter how unwilling they were.

As soon as the spirit was discharged, the pace of the Ming army slowed down, and slowly moved in the direction of the camp, and from time to time he looked back at his injured and fallen companions, and secretly called luck in his heart.

Seeing that he was about to return to the camp, but it was just a stone's throw away, he suddenly heard a cannon shot, which suddenly startled the Ming army, and the soldiers knew that something was wrong, and the three souls had already gone to the two and a half souls.

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

Countless heads suddenly poked out of the dense forest on the left, and the same number of black barrels, the bullets had just been discharged, and a faint white smoke was still coming out of the muzzle.

The smoke had not yet cleared, the barrel of the gun had been retracted, and even the head that poked out of the forest was changed.

The Ming army's formation was dense and scattered, and the distance was very close, and the rifle hit rate was very high, and the wounded soldiers first leaned on their companions' bodies with a bloody streak, and then slowly fell to the ground, screaming, screaming, and rolling all over the ground......

The soldiers of the Ming army were already familiar with this kind of gunshot, and together with the gunshots, they knew that they had encountered an ambush, and in the face of death, they reacted quickly, and without waiting for the officer's order, the sword and shield soldiers had already erected the shield in their hands, protected it on the left side, and hid behind the shield with their own cats.

But most of the withdrawn Ming troops were archers, and without the protection of shields, they could only risk casualties, huddle together, and quickly run towards the camp.

In the face of manpower, the power of machinery is infinite, how can a two-legged soldier outrun the bullet of a rifle?

The more archers who ran in the front, the more they were the targets of the Mandate of Heaven, they gathered together, and invisibly helped to improve the accuracy of the rifle shooting, only one wave of shooting, and there were already countless casualties on the ground, and this became an obstacle for the soldiers behind to escape.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

Just when the Ming army was trembling, in the dense forest on the right side, there was a gunshot, the shields of the sword and shield soldiers were all guarded on the left side, and the archers had no shields at all, except for the armor, the Ming army was completely undefended.

Rifle bullets, is the nemesis of the Ming light armor, the penetration of machinery, by no means the bow and arrow such as manpower weapons can be compared, in the two days of battle, even the Ming army understood this truth, the corpse that fell to the ground, did not surprise them, if they can escape a catastrophe, it is a fluke to get God's favor.

When the Ming army came to his senses and moved the shield to the right, there was another gunfire in the dense forest on the left, neat and dense.

The Ming army was like a rat in the bellows by mistake, angry at both ends, and was overwhelmed by the rifles in the dense forest on the left and right, the soldiers were in chaos, they had long lost their formation, they pushed each other, and the speed of escape slowed down, and the soldiers with weak physical strength were directly pushed to the ground by their companions and became a stepping stone.

Seeing that the Ming army had been defeated, the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army in the dense forest had already exposed their bodies and began to shoot semi-encirclement at the Ming army from both sides and rear, and the bullets chased the back and back of the Ming army

Liu Chenggong saw that the situation was not right, if he retreated into the camp in a hurry, it would be easy to be dumpled by the Heavenly Mandate Army, and hurriedly said: "Immediately retreat down the mountain along the valley road, and the sword and shield soldiers will be broken!" ”

In the face of death, the Ming army restored the true colors of the people, the valley road was narrow, and when fleeing, they were all scrambling, and it was a disaster to enter the narrow land from a wide land!

Thousands of soldiers crowded at the entrance of the valley road, pushing and shoving, and soldiers continued to fall to the ground, forming a human wall, but the soldiers behind could not see the situation in front, in order to avoid the rifle, they could only desperately squeeze forward, completely blocking the valley road.

After Liu Chenggong gave the order, he began to regret it, such a terrain, this is to push the brothers to the fire pit! He originally wanted to let his brothers leave Guguan and go east to the foothills, but now......

The order has just been issued, and it will be a slap in the face to the commander, and besides, under the current situation, even if the military order is reissued, unless the soldiers gathered behind retreat in the face of the thieves' bullets and sort out the valley road.

In later generations, the vast majority of traffic jams are due to violations of traffic rules, scrambling, you are scrambling, you are scrambling, grabbing the road first, every second counts, even if the traffic police have a fine in hand, plus on-the-spot penalty points, it is still impossible to completely curb the driver from jamming.

What's more, the gunners of the Mandate of Heaven are chasing and killing in the back, and in the face of death, who is not racing against time? Who wants to be left behind as a shield for others?

Liu Chenggong was originally supervising the battle at the end, but the Ming soldiers who retreated first had already crossed Liu Chenggong and blocked him outside the valley road.

What to do? Do you want to die under the solid gate?

Liu Chenggong's personal soldiers saw that the valley road was blocked, and immediately pulled out the waist knife they carried with them, and began to slash and kill the soldiers in front of them, "Get out of the way, give way to the adults!" ”

"Ah......h

The soldiers who were stabbed fell to the ground screaming one after another, although they still had a breath left, but like the corpses, they actually acted as a roadblock to escape.

It's a pity that there are too many soldiers in the way, even if they are afraid of Liu Chenggong and the scimitars of Liu Chenggong's own soldiers, but the crowd has been crowded like twisted flowers, holding hands, legs wrapped around legs, twisting together, even if they want to make way for Liu Chenggong, their bodies have nowhere to go, unless they give birth to wings in an instant and leap in the air!

Liu Chenggong's personal soldiers don't care about their companionship, their responsibility is to protect the adult, no matter how many companions die, it has nothing to do with them, if they can kill a bloody road, they can take the lead in leaving this terrible place of death in the name of protecting the adult.

The soldiers of the Ming army became the stepping stone of military merit, and the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven wanted to shoot them for meritorious service, and exchanged them for silver rewards and monthly tickets for military merits to the Dadu Governor's Mansion; Liu Chenggong's own soldiers also want to kill them, in this case, only if they are completely down, can they protect the adults from escaping.

The warm and crimson blood either filled the valley road in the form of mist, and flew into the dense forest on both sides, transforming into a dazzling bloody rain, or forming a thumb-thick fountain, blocked by the bright light armor, and suddenly lost its strength, and it was difficult to drill through the gaps of the iron sheets, and then slowly flowed along the grooves, gathering intermittent rivers of blood on the valley road......

Looking at the souls of the dead under his own knife, Liu Chenggong was already numb, almost thinking that those who were cut were thieves, the corners of his mouth moved for no reason, faint and cold: Wow when you die, you are relieved when you die, you are dead, you are dead, you are a hundred dead, at such a moment, who can be happier than these dead soldiers?

Those who are alive also have to face death and blood, as well as the thunderous wrath of the Governor......

Liu Chenggong was a little envious of those casualties!
