Chapter 224 Emperor Longwu fled again

Escaping from the waterway of the Li River is the best choice for Emperor Longwu at the moment, and Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Western Army, is also very clear about this, and when the city is about to break, he will send elites to the dock, just blocking Emperor Longwu's way.

Run away!

Emperor Longwu only had more than 1,000 soldiers and horses around him, and it was basically a fool's dream to fight a bloody road to the wharf, so the convoy immediately turned around and fled along the river to the north.

The Junzi battalion under the command of Du Yinxi are veterans of the battle formation, many times hard to fight with the Qing army, in the face of several times their own enemy fearless, fierce fighting, in their encouragement, loyal to the Longwu Emperor of the Royal Forest Army also immediately rushed up, and the Western Army started a bloody battle, Cheng Wen's soldiers and horses fell behind, just to guard the space between the Junzi Camp and the Imperial Forest Army, the three soldiers and horses formed a not tight but extremely tough defense line, blocking the pursuit of the Western Army Brigade, although there were a small group of men and horses rushed through the gap, But it could not pose a real threat to Emperor Longwu and his party.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emperor Longwu's convoy quickly left the battlefield, and seeing that it was fleeing farther and farther, the generals of the Western Army who led the troops gave orders again and again, concentrating more than 200 cavalry to bypass the defense line of the Longwu Army and chase after Emperor Longwu's convoy.

Since Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, the western army has entered the southwest region for several years, most of the original war horses are too old to drive, and the horses in the southwest are too short to be used by the cavalry, more than two hundred cavalry is already a lot for them, not to be able to catch Emperor Longwu at once, as long as they can entangle the convoy, wait until the follow-up infantry troops arrive. Then launch an all-out attack, so as not to let a single person slip through the net.

For the Western Army. The lack of war horses also has the advantage that each cavalry is a veteran of the best. These two hundred people were particularly outstanding, and their riding skills were no less than those of the Eight Banners who grew up on horseback, and they rode their horses for a while, chasing them for seven points and retaining three points of spare strength, and Emperor Longwu's convoy soon entered their field of vision again...... The cavalry of the world are good at the tactics of "horses walking the sun", and the cavalry of the Western Army rushed up to harass the convoy, forcing Emperor Longwu and his party to stop and put up a defensive formation, and suddenly separated to the two wings, and was not in a hurry to fight. When the convoy moved again, the cavalry of the Western Army only followed slowly, watching, and at the same time accumulating horsepower, like a cat teasing mice.

"Dog day, I heard that Zhu Yujian's cowardice is a false seriousness, although he became the emperor, there are not many good-looking girls in the palace, I want to see what his wife looks like later."

"What's serious? It's definitely a useless thing. There are still cats in the world who are not greedy! ”

"As long as you grasp this cowardice, promotion and wealth are all trivial things, and if you can't find any kind of girl, don't mess up. Keep an eye on him, don't let him sneak away......"

Most of the officers of the Western Army were from Shaanxi, and this cavalry was no exception. Several generals were joking, and the main general Yang Yuchun couldn't help but scold. He also ordered his men to keep an eye on the movement of the convoy. Others are not important, the key is that Emperor Longwu has a family of three. If Emperor Longwu absconded in disguise and slipped away from under their noses, Yang Yuchun would definitely have had no merit and was severely dealt with by Liu Wenxiu.

Not far ahead, is the famous Guishan (also known as Diecai Mountain) on the bank of the Li River, the blue mountains are scattered along the riverside, there is a slightly gentle hillside next to the road, hundreds of Chu soldiers are ambushed under the hillside, because the terrain is undulating and not discovered by the Western Army.

"Those guys should be the generals who lead the troops, tell the brothers, capture the thief and capture the king first, none of these generals can let them run, otherwise they will be entangled in the convoy and dragged until the Western Army Brigade catches up, and it will be difficult for His Majesty to get out." Lin Yuan carefully instructed his subordinates.

In the Chu military system, Lin Yuan belongs to the absolute old qualifications, he is the first batch of veterans of the Hengshili uprising, belongs to Wang Sheng's Chongyang battalion, because the combat courage company was promoted, but also because the combat courage company was seriously injured, after the last injury was sent to the rear for treatment, and in the Jinggangshan Military Academy for three months of officer training, before returning to the team, he was sent to Zhou Guodong's army as a deputy brigade commander...... As an "airborne" officer, Lin Yuan is under a lot of pressure, most of Zhou Guodong's subordinates are from the Tongshan Battalion, it is difficult for him to integrate into this circle as an outsider, how many pairs of eyes are staring, and he urgently needs to fight a beautiful battle to prove his ability.

Today, it's an opportunity.

If the infantry occupies a favorable terrain, it is not difficult to block the cavalry, but it is extremely difficult to defeat the enemy, the reason is very simple, the four-legged cavalry is mobile and flexible, and when the battle is unfavorable, it can throw off the infantry by pulling it back, so Lin Yuan has only one chance - to kill several officers of the Western Army at the beginning of the battle.

Emperor Longwu's convoy gradually approached, and the cavalry of the Western Army rushed up to harass again, and Lin Yuan gave an order and led two hundred foot soldiers to suddenly kill and meet the cavalry of the Western Army head-on...... There is no terrain here that kills with one hit, and ordinary bows and arrows are impossible to point and hit like sniper rifles, contact battles are inevitable, two hundred foot soldiers are not much, and Lin Yuan did not play a clear banner of the Chu army, deliberately showing weakness to lure the western army to attack.

The Western Army was really fooled.

The main general Yang Yuchun saw an ambush soldier killed, at first slightly startled, and when he saw that there were only two hundred foot soldiers of the enemy, he put his heart back in his stomach, Guilin City had just been broken, there was a chaotic battle inside and outside the city, small groups of routs were everywhere, these two hundred soldiers and horses may have run out of the city, and they just happened to hit Emperor Longwu's convoy and wanted to save the car.

Then it will be done for you!

"Kill!" Yang Yuchun gave an order, and several of his generals rushed out together, all of them fighting bravely.

"Bang bang bang!" A dense row of lead bullets was fired head-on, specifically aimed at these generals, each of whom was shot one or twenty times, although they were protected by armor, and they were not lightly injured, and two of them were even planted headlong on their horses, and they were clearly killed. At this time, the sneer on Yang Yuchun's face had not faded, but his eyes had been widened by the scene in front of him.

He turned around, his gaze swept behind him, and unsurprisingly saw another ambush behind him, numbering around two hundred.

"Hit back and forth?" Yang Yuchun hesitated slightly, his thick black brows condensed into two sharp swords, the enemy's attack intention was very obvious, and it was too late to retreat now, but in that case, he would not be able to keep up with Emperor Longwu's convoy, and it would be a pity if Emperor Longwu ran away.
