The soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner soon had an impact on the city of Xipingbao, all of them were wearing armor, and some even wore triple thick armor, although the bird guns under the command of Luo Zheng were elite, but they could shoot through single armor, and in the face of this kind of multi-layer thick armor of the Zhenghuang Banner soldiers, the effect was not good, unless they were shot in the head, otherwise, they could not pose a real threat to the thick armor soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner.

The coverage of long-range firepower could no longer stop the soldiers of the Yellow Flag from rushing to the city, and Luo had no choice but to order the soldiers to step forward and fight hand-to-hand, and drive these dogs down with flesh and blood.

In a short time, the not wide city of Xiping Fort was completely transformed into a bloody slaughterhouse.

Although the guarding Ming army has complete armor and geographical advantages, it is small in number, and its personal martial arts are far from being able to compare with the elite of these yellow flags.

In such a critical situation, how dare Luo always slacken? Hurriedly led the pro-soldier guards to the top.

Seeing that their main generals had rushed to the front line, the Ming army couldn't help but be demoralized, and launched a counterattack against the forces of the Yellow Banner like crazy.

To this extent, the so-called martial arts and equipment are already negligible, and the only thing that the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield can rely on is their own courage.

Either kill the enemy, or you will be killed by the enemy.

The battle lasted for most of the hour, and the setting sun had already set a little bit below the horizon.

Perhaps he felt the bravery of Xiping Fort guarding the Ming army, and the old slave didn't want to waste the lives of his precious Zhenghuang Banner soldiers in such a small place.

At the head of the city, Luo has always been a little unhuman, his helmet is gone, his originally neat hair has also been cut off by a sharp blade, and he is scattered at will, his face is covered with blood, and he looks hideously at the Houjin camp not far away.

Next to him, Liu Dadou, the leader of the guards, was even more miserable, although the armor was still there, but his left arm, he didn't know where it went, and the white bones were hideously exposed, but he just bandaged it with a strip of cloth, and firmly guarded Luo Yiyi's side.

At the head of the city, all the Ming troops have almost reached a state of exhaustion, but there is still no news about the reinforcements.

At this time, from the side of the Houjin camp, several fast horses galloped towards the direction of Xipingbao.

Liu Dadou's eyes were sharp, he looked at it carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Master, master, it's our Tanma, it's our Tanma." ”

Luo was already tired and about to fall asleep, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but lift his spirits all of a sudden, and hurriedly looked towards the city.

When it was confirmed that it was his own horse, Luo couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Quick, quickly release the rope." Let the sons come up. ”

Not long after, three sentry detectives were brought to the city, and their state was even worse than that of Luo and Liu Dadou, almost covered with wounds, and they rushed back to Xiping Fort completely in one breath.

The leader of a hundred households knelt hard and kowtowed desperately: "General, the battle of Pingyang Bridge has just begun, Guangning guerrilla Sun Degong and staff general Bao Chengxian escaped from the battle, and the troops in the direction of Zhenwu and Luyang were also defeated, Liu Qu Liu General Bingbing and General Qi Bingzhong encountered an ambush by the Houjin army in Shaling, and the 30,000 army has been wiped out. General, we, we don't have any reinforcements. ”

"What?"

Luo has always been shocked.

He never dreamed that he would get such a result in his hard work in Xipingbao.

However, he has been leading the army for many years, forcibly suppressed his emotions, and calmed down for a moment: "What about the ancestor of Jinzhou?" Didn't he have nine thousand? He's all cavalry, so he'll be there soon, right? ”

At the beginning, Wang Huazhen's defense plan was to take Qi Bingzhong's troops as the vanguard, rush to the front line of the Liaohe River, and win over Li Yongfang, the concubine of Houjin Fushun, as the inner line.

After learning that the main force of the old slave had crossed the Liao River, Wang Huazhen hurriedly ordered Sun Degong and Bao Chengxian, the headquarters of the Guangning Army, to rush to join Qi Bingzhong's troops.

At the same time, he ordered Zu Dashou to lead the elite of 9,000 cavalry under his command and quickly rushed to reinforce Qi Bingzhong.

And Xiong Tingbi also ordered his henchman Liu Qu to lead more than 10,000 people to quickly reinforce Qi Bingzhong.

This time, the reinforcements of the Ming army have reached more than 50,000, plus the strength of Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort, Zhenning Fort and other big forts, even if they cannot win, but it is not much of a problem to contain the main force of Houjin.

But Wang Huazhen didn't expect that his confidant Sun Degong not only did not win over Li Yongfang, but was rebelled by Li Yongfang.

Sun Degong and Bao Chengxian's escape from the battle is like toppling the first domino, and the situation can no longer be cleaned up.

At this time, Luo Zheng's only hope was the strong and well-equipped Guanning Army Ancestor Dashou Division.

The sentinel Baihu tried his best to kowtow, and blood was knocked on his forehead, "General, I didn't see General Zu's men and horses, but I heard that he, he had already led his troops back to the direction of Juehua Island." ”

"I ......"

Luo always wanted to say something, but he only felt a sweetness in his throat, a familiar taste, and he couldn't help but gush out from the depths of his throat.

"Grand------。"

Liu Dadou was shocked, and hurriedly used his one-arm to carefully support Luo's crumbling body.

By this time, Luo had calmed down.

He turned to look at the soldiers around him, and everyone's eyes were on him.

Luo Yi suddenly smiled, "Child, you have worked hard." Dadou, you send someone to lead this brother down to rest first. The dog's tartar, if you want to eat Lao Tzu's Xiping Fort, it depends on whether you have this good tooth. ”

As he spoke, he shouted to the soldiers at the head of the city, "Sons, are you afraid? ”

These soldiers are all Luo's headquarters and are his pride.

"Junmen, I'm afraid of a ball. As long as the Tartars dare to come up again, Lao Tzu will let them come and go. ”

"Tartars are nothing more than that. General, we'll wait for reinforcements to come. ”

“……”

Looking at the unfamiliar but familiar faces around him, Luo's old tears couldn't help but welled up, and he nodded emphatically, "Okay." Good. You're all good boys. Sons, today, we must let the Tartars of the dog day see the majesty of my Ming soldiers. ”

There was an instant cheer from the top of the city.

But at this time, after a short pause, a new round of offensive of the Houjin army was about to start again.

This time, not only the yellow flag, but also the red flag, the white flag, the white flag and several other people and horses have moved, and soon, there are more than 3,000 Houjin soldiers, like the tide, surging towards the direction of Xiping Fort.

Luo has always understood that the old slave wants to take Xiping Fort before dark.

It had reached this point, he had no choice, drew the sword at his waist, and personally rushed to the front line of the city, directing the Ming defenders to resist.

It's a pity that after a whole day's work, these Ming soldiers at the head of the city, both physically and psychologically, have reached the limit.

Although they are still not afraid of death and still do not retreat, in the face of the butcher's knives of the warriors of the Houjin Army, their movements are obviously slow, and their physical strength is obviously even weaker.

He could have killed the enemy, but now he could only slash the enemy's armor, and he could have died with the enemy, but in the end, the enemy had to cut off his head.

"Master, the sons can't stand it. Let's take a step back, shall we? Liu Dadou was already covered in blood, looking like a ghost, and he didn't know when a long hole was cut in his stomach, and his intestines flowed out.

Watching the sons and daughters around him fall one by one, and seeing that his henchmen and beloved generals have become like this, even though Luo has always been a seven-foot man, he can't help but cry.

He patted Liu Dadou's shoulder hard, "Dadou, it's the master who can't stand you." ”

Liu Dadou knelt on the ground, "Master, don't say that." Dadou's life is yours, and you will die without regrets. Master, there is still a chance now, Da Dou will protect you to break through. ”

Luo Yi shook his head with a smile, "Da Dou, I won't leave." You, I now order you, with your own soldiers, to break through quickly. ”

"Master, if you don't go, Dadou won't go." Liu Dadou supported his body with one arm and kowtowed to Luo all the time.

"Don't you even listen to your master's orders? Lord's family, I still want you to take care of it. Luo always looked at Liu Dadou fiercely.

Liu Dadou was helpless, so he could only take a dozen personal soldiers with tears in his eyes and quickly retreated from the city.

At this time, the Ming army at the head of the city was almost completely killed and wounded, and there were less than fifty people around Luo Zheng.

Luo always looked up to the sky and roared, he untied the sword at his waist, and kowtowed a few times in the direction of the southwest and Beijing City, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The old minister can't work for you anymore. Your kindness, the old minister can only repay it in the next life. ”

After speaking, Luo Yi took out his sword, slammed it into his neck, and killed himself.

Moments later, Fort Sipin fell......

…………

At this time, Li Yuanqing's fleet had sailed into the deep sea, but he still knew nothing about the state of war in Xipingbao, including the entire western Liaoning.

This is also the biggest drawback of this era, the lack of information.

However, out of an instinctive sense of crisis and the precedent of the collapse of Shenyang, Li Yuanqing was very unoptimistic about the war situation in western Liaoning.

The night was already dark, but every sailor on all the ships in the fleet did his best, and there was no intention of resting.

Li Yuanqing had already given them a death order, and the soldiers and sailors went into battle together, working in two shifts, and they must rush to the interior of western Liaoning as soon as possible.

The moon is a little lonely tonight, although the moonlight is still cool like water, but Li Yuanqing always has an ominous premonition in his heart.

From a political point of view, Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan did this, and it was indeed a good way to make meritorious contributions, but from a military point of view, they committed a taboo.

With their strength at this time, they went to compete with the Houjin army for the city, and they were calculating, isn't this just a bamboo basket to draw water---- and in the end it will still be empty?

If they can't defeat the main force of Jiannu, even if they have defeated Shenyang and Liaoyang now, what is the use? Won't the main force of Houjin fight back sooner or later?

What's more, this kind of siege and siege is very expensive, a small Nanguan Fort, three people and horses will pay more than 100 lives, if you go to a big city like Jinzhou and Fuzhou, how many lives should be used to fill it?

With one's own shortcomings, the enemy's strengths, isn't this stupidity?

But this is the case, and Li Yuanqing can't change their minds.

And Mao Wenlong's side, even if he sees the shortcomings of the two, I'm afraid he won't stop it, but will praise it, after the defeat in Zhenjiang, Mao Wenlong also urgently needs new political capital.

Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity.

At this time, it is useless to say anything, he must rush to the front line of western Liaoning as soon as possible, probe the latest battle report in western Liaoning, and then, according to the situation, make a decision that is most beneficial to the overall situation.
