Under the city of Yilong, Liu Jinzhong was annoyed, since last year he was defeated by Zhang Xianzhong for the defeat of the Volunteer Army, the relationship between the two sides has long been stiff and detached.

This time, the volunteers entered Bazhou and led their troops to vote, and the two sides hit it off, and Liu Jinzhong led his troops into Pengzhou to force Yang Lin to retreat, so as to balance the growing strength of the volunteers.

Who would have expected that the volunteers would advance quickly, and in less than two months, they would bulldoze the lair of the local tyrants in Bazhou, and now they are attacking Langzhong with a tooth for a tooth, let alone that the famous general Zhao Ronggui's troops have been defeated one after another.

Everyone in the big tent sighed, and now the Sichuan generals are excluded from the Great Western Army, and it is difficult to cooperate as well as at the beginning.

And although Yang Lin is gaining momentum, he excludes dissidents, not to mention anything else, after the defeat of the Great Western Army last year and the capture of Shunqing Mansion City, he actually deposed the former Shunqing Mansion Left Garrison Chen Yingrui, and then looked for an opportunity to kill the former prefect Shi Jinchen.

Others are okay, but Yuan Tao, the leader of the local rioters who came to take refuge, shouted in his heart, and hurriedly came out to explain, everything else is fine, and Yang Lin can't take refuge with his character of excluding dissidents.

Since the beginning of the army, Yang Lin has been bent on attacking, not only killing righteous soldiers (local tyrants), slandering colleagues (Shi Jinchen and Yingrui), but also intolerable to other forces.

Last year, he almost fought with Zeng Yingda, the deputy general of eastern Sichuan, for the sake of grain and grass, and this Northern Expedition also violated the will of Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces.

If he defects to the volunteers, he will not only be excluded, but he will also be afraid that Shi Jinchen will end up.

Yang Lin is a younger generation, if he takes refuge in the other party Liu Jinzhong, he is also quite unwilling in his heart, and now when he heard Yuan Tao say this, he immediately paid attention to it, and decided to curry favor with both sides and step on two boats to deal with the current crisis.

On the one hand, Liu Jinzhong arranged for the retreat of troops to return to Langzhong, on the other hand, he sent messengers to Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu to report the emergency, and even sent wise and brave men to go to Qianqing to lobby Liu Liangchang and Zeng Ying, the general soldier of eastern Sichuan, in order to seek the support of Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces.

It took three days to return to Jinping Station on the south bank of Langzhong City, where he wanted to cross the Jialing River, but Chen Huaixi led the navy to block the river, and it was even more difficult to cross the river.

Hearing the sound of artillery on the opposite shore and the shouts of killing shook the sky, Liu Jinzhong paid attention.

In the afternoon of this day, he left the old and weak soldiers in the barracks, and personally led the main force to sail more than 30 miles to Maozizui upstream, connected more than ten boats together, made a pontoon bridge, and led his troops to cross the Jialing River.

The volunteer scouts were dispersed very widely, and in order to prevent the personnel from being swept away by the flood, torches were also lit around the pontoon bridge, and the fire was bright, and they were discovered by the volunteer scouts and the soldiers who were standing on a high place to observe the enemy's situation, and flew to the camp overnight.

Unlike other soldiers and horses, Liu Jinzhong was once named the governor of Xiaocai by Zhang Xianzhong, with more than 1,000 cavalry under his command and very strong field combat ability.

Qian Bangqi's face was pale, and he implored him to withdraw his troops to protect himself, so as not to be taken advantage of by the other party and suffer from the enemy on both sides.

Yang Lin pondered for a moment and shook his head again and again, although Liu Jinzhong's department claimed to be 20,000, it always wanted people to attract Chen Huaixi's attention downstream, and they rushed overnight, and the number of people who really reached the front line was bound to be limited.

The deployment was immediately adjusted, and Feng Youqing's 7th Regiment was used to guard against the Liukou in Langzhong City, and he personally led the escort regiment, the cavalry regiment, the 4th Regiment of Long Zhiframe, and the 6th Regiment of Jing Keqin to meet the battle.

Just when Yang Lin was adjusting the deployment, Liu Jinzhong's Xiao cavalry battalion arrived, and before everyone reacted, they broke through four or five checkpoints in the rear in a row and killed them.

The first to meet was the 4th Regiment of the Dragon Frame, which has been protecting grain and grass as a rearguard regiment for the past few days, and I can't imagine that it will be the first to engage the enemy now.

Hearing the enemy attack, Long Zhijiao immediately led the escort team to the north, and saw a captain who was actually surrounded by soldiers and prepared to escape.

Long Zhijiao slashed the captain in front of everyone with a wave of his hand, facing the panicked soldiers, brandishing a bloody saber, holding a simple horn and saying: "Brothers, although the Great Western Army is menacing, although the iron cavalry of the Great Western Army is as fast as lightning, but the north of Langzhong is full of hills, thousands of ravines, and many places are sheep intestine paths, it is quite difficult for the three of them to walk together, not to mention the cavalry of the Liukou?"

As long as we overcome our inner fears, as long as we fill the roads, we can completely use the earth-shattering thunder to disperse the swarming enemy horses, and we can completely occupy the surrounding dangerous peaks and shoot them with birds, bows and arrows.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are in difficulty now, but the adults are adjusting the defense, as long as everyone persists, when the reinforcements arrive, what can the rogue endure me? ”

Everyone looked hesitant, and the new captain brandished a broadsword to lead everyone to meet the enemy head-on.

Different from the soldiers and horses of the same period, since the opening of the martial arts lecture hall last year, the officers at the grassroots level have participated in several months of military knowledge training, and they have a certain degree of military knowledge and understand better that it is time to fight to the death.

Most of the soldiers followed, and a few, although suspicious, saw the gendarmerie squad behind them raise their lit bird guns.

Retreat to death, move forward to live, and even those who are greedy for life and afraid of death are coerced back to the battlefield.

Worried that he would not be able to restrain the rout in front, Long Zhijiao looked at Yao Wu, the leader of the guard squadron beside him, and asked him to lead a team to the front fork to restrain everyone.

Yao Wu asked the 100 people he had just collected to occupy the mountain roads on both sides to shoot the Liukou, and on the other hand, he gathered the rout soldiers and piled up mountains and rocks as a shield.

But how were those routers willing to obey orders at first, and when Yao Wu killed three routers in succession, causing their heads to be hung in front of the position, everyone was a little quiet.

The rout regrouped, so there were fifty or sixty people, everyone held their breath, and saw the rogue killing, a temporary killer team stood in front, everyone lined up in a mandarin duck formation, the squad leader, the captain of the army in front, the iron cavalry who rushed over from a distance to shoot arrows, and behind were rattan players, wolf players, and spearmen and boring palladium hands who shot arrows and crossbows.

In addition to the dozens of people on the road, there were more people standing on the mountain beams on both sides, aiming at the riders on horseback from a distance.

All of a sudden, the guns were loud, and the riders on horseback tried to dodge, but the road was narrow, the space was limited, and the arrows rained down, and the sound of birds was more dense than firecrackers, and in a moment seven or eight riders fell.

During this period, although two or three horsemen rushed to the front of the formation, but through the sparks that were constantly burning in front of them, it was quite difficult to see the enemy horses rushing left and right, and everyone couldn't help but smile, and rushed over under the leadership of the team leader, and kept stabbing with wolf whisks from a distance.

The rider wanted to rush over, but before he could reach him, he was blocked by a horizontal wolf, and fearing that the horse would be injured, the rider hurriedly tightened the reins of the horse, and took advantage of this opportunity to arrive behind the soldiers, cut off the horse's legs, and hit the horse's head.

The rider had just dodged the big knife that Wu Chang slashed at the horse's leg, when he suddenly felt a heavy blow to the horse's body, and it turned out that the boring palladium hand waved the boring palladium, and hit the horse's neck hard, and the whole horse was seriously injured and almost fell.

This is all practiced in the past, during the training, the captain, the general or something many times mentioned to deal with the war horse, everyone used the spirit after the morale was greatly boosted, no longer as panicked as at the beginning.

The riders who rushed over sporadically were constantly cut off their horses, and the morale of the people was greatly boosted, and Yao Wu led his troops to continue to rush to the Liukou at the pass in front of them, and killed the iron cavalry and infantry of the Great Western Army who rushed over.

Standing on a high place outside the Baba Temple, he used a telescope to observe the enemy situation from time to time, and personally commanded the Franc machine gun to support the various departments.

was assaulted, and each department was the first to fight on its own, and now even the escort regiment has been sent to resist, and there is only a cavalry regiment around him, and to support the various departments, there are probably only these dozens of artillery pieces behind him.

The Franc cannon was constantly ignited, and each round of fire seemed to tell his soldiers that they were not alone, and that the Chinese army could provide any support to them at any time.

Suddenly attacked by the enemy, each regiment fought separately and did not form a unified command, while Liu Jinzhong, Hu Jiusi and others who attacked complained bitterly.

Liu Jinzhong's department claimed to be 20,000 horses, but because he wanted to confuse Chen Huaixi on the Jialing River, there were only more than 10,000 people who really crossed the Jialing River, and the soldiers and horses were originally limited.

Worried that the volunteer outpost would find out, everyone advanced by leaps and bounds, but it also caused a serious disconnection between the various departments, and more than 1,000 cavalry led by Liu Jinzhong and Hu Jiusi rushed to the front to fight with the volunteers for half an hour, and the soldiers and horses behind felt that the front line could not be thrown in at once, causing the volunteers to panic.

After the initial panic, the various units of the Volunteer Army quickly adjusted their positions, and now occupy the main communication passes, and are constantly covered and killed at the bottom of the valley through tiger squatting cannons and bird guns on the mountain roads on both sides.

In the face of a steady stream of rogues, the volunteers actually presided over counterattacks many times, killing and injuring each other one after another.

The two sides fought fiercely until dawn, and the volunteers actually took advantage of the main enemy, and Liu Jinzhong felt that something was wrong, and Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and prepared to lead his troops to hold the main pass, waiting for another battle in the coming day.

Liu Jinzhong wanted to suspend his army, but Yang Lin didn't.

Just Mingjin withdrew his troops, and suddenly heard bursts of explosions ten miles upstream, and walked to the hill to see that a raging flame was burning in the direction of Miaozizui.

Originally, after hearing that Liukou had crossed the Jialing River upstream, Chen Huaixi led the navy to swim upstream overnight, but now he felt that the upstream was concentrating people and horses to burn the pontoon bridge.

The destruction of the pontoon bridge was equivalent to cutting off the retreat route for the raiders, and the morale of the whole battalion was low, and some were ready to lead the army to retreat.

And how could Yang Lin give up such a great opportunity? The two sides fought fiercely in the middle of the night, and the troops were exhausted, and now the pontoon bridge was destroyed, and the back road was lost, so Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie immediately led the cavalry to cover and kill all the way.

Although Liu Jinzhong led the pro-army to break off, the momentum of the volunteers was invincible, and seeing that the volunteers were gathering more and more, he was afraid and led his troops to break through the siege and flee north.

The whole army of the Great Western Army was defeated, and Yang Lin led his troops to chase and kill for more than 100 miles before collecting troops and horses.

Since then, the Volunteers have won the victory of the counter-raid.
