Chapter 294: Guiyang (Continued 14)

Liu Wenxiu was shot in the chest, turned over and planted the war horse.

He was the focus of attention on the battlefield, and after being shot and falling off his horse, the soldiers of the Western Army exclaimed in unison, but the soldiers of the Chu Army shouted loudly together.

"Liu Wenxiu is dead!"

"Liu Wenxiu is dead!"

The shouts spread far away, and the soldiers of the Western Army were all discolored, and they couldn't care about other things for a while, they all turned their heads to look here, and the guards on the left and right rushed forward, helped Liu Wenxiu, who had fainted to the ground, untied the breastplate to bandage him to stop the bleeding, and kept slapping and calling, Liu Wenxiu finally opened his eyes.

"Fu ...... Help me and get on the horse. His face was as white as paper, his chest was still oozing blood, not far away, the excited Chu army musketeers were approaching quickly, several guards gritted their teeth, and hugged Liu Wenxiu on their horses, and the thousands of Western troops around the battlefield immediately burst into cheers after seeing his familiar armor.

Liu Wenxiu's body shook twice, and when he saw that he was about to plant the war horse again, the guards on the left and right hurriedly supported him, and seeing Liu Wenxiu's dying appearance, the cheers of the Western Army stopped abruptly, and the Chu Army shouted loudly again.

"Liu Wenxiu can't do it!"

"Liu Wenxiu is dying!"

At the same time, the musketeers of the Chu army quickened their pace and rushed towards this side, the two rows of soldiers in the front were already raising their guns to aim, and one of the guards didn't care about anything else, he also jumped on the war horse, hugged Liu Wenxiu in front of his chest, whipped the horse, and galloped away.

"Bang bang bang!"

Countless bullets chased their backs, and the guard suddenly shook his body, obviously he had been shot, but he was strong and strong, and he was wearing two layers of heavy armor, he did not fall off his horse after being shot, and continued to run away with Liu Wenxiu in his arms, and in a few breaths, he had already rushed out of the range of the flintlock pistol and fled down the mountain.

Behind him, dozens of guards followed closely, and from time to time a war horse fell on the hillside, and suddenly, the wrestler horse holding the flag lost its front hooves and was volleyed out by the war horse, and the front end of the big flag in his hand hit the ground and broke into two.

The coach was seriously injured, the handsome flag was broken, the Western Army suddenly shouted, and the hall dispersed together, no matter how many heads Qi Sansheng cut off, he couldn't change the reality of defeat.

"Come with me and protect the King of Shu!" Qi Sansheng gave up his efforts and took hundreds of remnants to chase Liu Wenxiu, who had already descended the mountain.

Liu Wenxiu didn't go far at this time, and after the left and right guards escorted him out of danger temporarily, they found two medical officers, put down Liu Wenxiu in a flat place on the side of the road, and let the medical officers treat him urgently.

"How is the King of Shu's injuries?" Qi Sansheng jumped off the war horse.

"The king of Shu is injured between the heart and lungs, and he has been medicated, but the lead bullet has not been taken out yet, and it can only be cured by rushing to the camp under the mountain." The wound could not be healed without the bullet being removed, but under such rudimentary conditions, it was impossible to complete such a complex surgical operation, and the two medical officers were also sweating with anxiety.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go! Qi Sansheng was immediately anxious, he was shot in the chest, and there was little hope of cure, and if he delayed any longer, Liu Wenxiu's life would be difficult to protect.

"The king of Shu himself refused to leave, saying that he had something to explain to General Qi......" The medical officer explained timidly, Qi Sansheng ignored him, strode in front of Liu Wenxiu, knelt down on one knee and picked up his right hand, seeing Liu Wenxiu's disgraced expression, as if he was dying, he didn't speak, and tears poured out of his eyes.

"Manly man, if you die, you die, what are you crying about?" After Liu Wenxiu stopped the bleeding, he also had a little strength to speak, and raised three fingers at Qi Sansheng: "I have three things for you to do, first, you immediately return to the mountain pass, summon Wang Shangli, Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen, and order them to break through, second, summon Bao Shengting, and order him to withdraw immediately, third, collect the remnants, hold the camp under the mountain for two days and two nights, and respond to the breakout of each department......"

Talking too much in one breath, Liu Wenxiu coughed violently, Qi Sansheng nodded again and again with tears in his eyes, and his heart was full of grief, Bao Shengting was the chief general of the Yunnan reinforcements, and he was rushing to Tuyunguan according to Liu Wenxiu's order, but Liu Wenxiu had been defeated here, and if Bao Shengting could not withdraw in time, he would send sheep into the tiger's mouth.

Liu Wenxiu continued: "If I die immediately, there are two things to entrust to you, first, lead the camp under the mountain to withdraw immediately, pass on the king's will to gather all the troops and retreat to Yunnan, and second, send the king's blood letter to the king of Qin and the king of Jin, and be sure to negotiate peace with Wang Kefan, even if you give up Huguang, you will not hesitate to bow down to the ministers......"

These two orders and the previous three orders seem to be somewhat contradictory, Qi Sansheng was slightly stunned, and then woke up, if Liu Wenxiu is not killed, the morale of the Western Army will be lost, and the camp under the mountain will definitely not be able to hold it, so Liu Wenxiu asked him to withdraw immediately, at that time, the Western Army only wants to be able to hold the base camp in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi These places can not be taken care of, and according to Liu Wenxiu's meaning, the Western Army will definitely not be able to defeat the Chu army, and would rather make huge concessions than seek peace as soon as possible.

With Liu Wenxiu's order, Qi Sansheng hurried back to the mountain pass, along the way the rout still filled the entire official road, these routs will not give way to the three firsts when fleeing for their lives, but in order to rush the road will draw swords and fire, once the bloody conflict occurs, it will immediately be a big chaos, the utilization rate of the road is very low, in fact, Qi Sansheng rushed back and forth, and the Western Army soldiers who escaped were only about two percent.

Coming to the vicinity of the fork in the road, the musketeers of the Chu army had already controlled the official road, and pursued the rout of the rear army of the Western Army with one part, but the main force guarded the two intersections to the brim, and it was obvious that the Chu army planned to eliminate Wang Shangli, Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen first, and then pursue Liu Wenxiu.

"If you want to eat 30,000 troops in one bite, you won't be choked!"

Although Qi Sansheng's troops have been defeated, they do not believe that the Chu army can easily eliminate Wang Shangli and others, after all, they are the main force of the Western Army, and the total number of soldiers and auxiliaries under them exceeds 50,000, even if there are some losses, it is still a strong force, even if it is pocketed by the Chu army, it can forcibly break through the encirclement and withdraw most of the troops.

Avoiding the Chu army far away, climbing a mountain peak, there were still a few sentries of the Western Army on the mountain, Qi Sansheng ordered his subordinates to prepare to light wolf smoke and pyrotechnic rockets, and summoned Wang Shangli, Gao Wengui and Lu Mingchen, so that they could break through separately.

"General Qi, no need, they are already breaking through separately." The sentinels said.

"Well, what's going on?"

Qi Sansheng hurriedly looked into the distance, a small road, an official road, the western army was distributed on two large battlefields, there was chaos everywhere, Gao Wengui's general flag could barely be seen, but Wang Shangli and Lu Mingchen's general flag had disappeared, and under the guidance of the remaining sentinels, Qi Sansheng barely found the approximate location of the two of them.

"Why are they all there to come? Have they all been killed and scattered by Chu thieves? Qi Sansheng was shocked, Wang Shangli's situation was a little better, there were about more than 3,000 soldiers around him, fighting and retreating, but Lu Mingchen only had more than 1,000 soldiers left on his side, retreating to a lonely mountain, surrounded by layers of Chu legions, there was no way to escape, not far from him, Gao Wengui with hundreds of soldiers, was rushing south to kill, wanting to join another Western army.

"Our army was fighting fiercely with the Chu thieves just now, but the Chu thieves suddenly shouted, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is dead, and our army is immediately in chaos, and then they break through to each other, and there are fewer and fewer people around several generals......"

The sentry didn't explain very clearly, but Qi Sansheng still roughly guessed what happened, after Liu Wenxiu was injured, the Western Army had no fighting spirit, Wang Shangli and others unanimously made the decision to break through separately, so there were not many troops around them, but the Chu army had been staring at them tightly, and surrounded them with absolute superiority.

If the sacrifice of the three of them is exchanged for the breakthrough of other troops, it is worth it, but most of the soldiers of the Western Army will only run back along the way they came, just hitting the muzzle of the Chu army's musketeers, at the intersection of the official road and the small road, almost 20,000 Western troops were blocked by Liu Tichun's troops, in order to kill a way out, those Western soldiers continued to launch a decisive charge, but they were never able to break through the defense line of the Chu army's musketeers, seeing countless Western soldiers go forward one after another, fell under the guns of the Chu army, Qi Sansheng had a feeling of a nightmare repeating for a while.

"Fifty thousand troops, fifty thousand troops, is that the end of it?"

Qi Sansheng muttered to himself, his fingernails almost broke his fingers, the art of war said that ten rules were encircled, the Chu army did not have an absolute superiority in strength, and it was impossible to surround and destroy all the 50,000 western troops, but Liu Tichun's musketeers were like a lock, using the terrain to firmly seal the encirclement, so that the western army had no way to escape.

After a while, Qi Sansheng suddenly rushed to his soldiers and asked them to send a signal to Bao Shengting first, now in this situation, Bao Shengting can still be rescued, Wang Shangli They are already the food on the plate of the Chu army, and it doesn't make much difference whether they send a signal or not.

The wolf smoke rose, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Qi Sansheng sent fifty warriors to divide into several teams to find Bao Shengting's troops, turned his head, and Qi Sansheng sent another fireworks rocket to Wang Shangli and others, and then led the team to leave in a hurry.

Two quarters of an hour later, a group of Chu troops attacked the top of the mountain, extinguished the wolf smoke that was still burning, the western army that protected the wolf smoke was wiped out, and several captured officers and soldiers were sent to Liu Tichun.

"Isn't Liu Wenxiu dead? Count him hard, okay, I'll give him another ride. ”

The fleet of the Chu army sent 3,000 reinforcements to Liu Tichun, and in the other direction, Zhou Guodong's troops had already joined his division, and his troops were abundant.

In addition, he ordered someone to send an order to the Chu army fleet, and the second batch of reinforcements sent after returning to the sea went directly to land near the camp at the foot of the mountain, striving to put Liu Wenxiu's rear army in his pocket and completely destroy the enemy.
