Blink an eye. The thrown grenade fell among the Taiping soldiers.

"Boom !!"

A violent explosion erupted in the crowd.

A strong aura spread, and everywhere they passed, the soldiers who were rushed were all staggered or blown beyond recognition. The grenade attack made the situation of the Taiping soldiers, who were already threatened by landmines and bullets, worsen the situation, only to see the soldiers fall one after another, and the terrible screams that resounded through the night sky kept coming.

Yang Xiuqing looked at the battle in front of her, and her heart was cold.

Li Zhen's means are too many.

However, no matter how many means Li Zhen has, he can't exceed the number of soldiers under his command. Now the soldiers of Longtan Town, Xiashu Town, and Dongyang Town are all approaching Li Zhen's camp, and the distance between the two sides is less than fifteen zhang. In such a situation, there are still many opportunities. Yang Xiuqing's eyes rolled and shouted: "Go, follow Ben and rush up." As long as we break through Li Zhen's defense, this battle will be won. ”

"Slow down!"

One of the generals stepped forward and spoke out to stop him.

Yang Xiuqing asked, "Jiang Mu, what do you have to say?" ”

Among the generals under Yang Xiuqing, excluding the older generation of generals who had fought and died with Li Zhen, as well as Li Xiucheng, who had been defeated by Li Zhen and had been captured, the current army is headed by Jiang Mu and other young generals.

Jiang Mu was tall and burly, extremely strong, and said with his fists clenched: "Lord Wang, although the road ahead is walked by soldiers, there is no guarantee that there will be nothing that will explode. Therefore, the last general is willing to lead the soldiers to walk in front of the interview, and the prince can follow behind. ”

When Yang Xiuqing heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his body.

Fortunately, Jiang Mu reminded him, otherwise it would be miserable to step on something that would explode.

Yang Xiuqing was happy in her heart, stretched out her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the soldiers to take the lead." When Li Zhen's army is solved, this king will give you a celebration. ”

Jiang Mu greeted and immediately ordered the soldiers to rush forward.

At this moment, all the Taiping troops have moved. In front of them were unarmed but charging soldiers from the Three Towns, three or four thousand people; There is Yang Xiuqing's elite division behind, with more than 10,000 people; Not only that, but there are also a thousand foreign soldiers in charge, and the momentum is menacing.

Li Zhen saw the other party rushing towards him, and knew that it was not easy to stop, and his heart was also nervous.

"Block, block their charge!"

Li Zhen ordered loudly, and Huang Qiang also asked the soldiers who shot to work harder.

It's just that the soldiers who were responsible for shooting and shooting, as well as the soldiers who threw grenades, were numb, and they didn't know how to block the other party's attack. Because no matter how they shot or threw bombs, the soldiers on the other side did not retreat, as if they were not afraid of death. Even though waves of Taiping soldiers fell to the ground, there were still no Taiping soldiers retreating, which caused the soldiers in the army to really find no way except to shoot and throw bombs.

Long Xi interjected: "Dashuai, the other party is less than ten zhang away from us, and the area where the mines are laid is not more than three zhang away. In another quarter of an hour, or even less than a quarter of an hour, the other party will definitely rush into our camp, and we can't stop it! ”

Countless corpses have been found in the mined areas outside the camp.

However, there was no deterrent effect left.

Li Zhen said: "I have already considered the problem you said, and I ordered Lu Shaochuan to prepare to retreat. In this battle, our soldiers consumed only a few dozen soldiers, but killed and wounded at least three or four thousand soldiers of the other side, which was a great victory. If you look at the soldiers in the three towns of Dongyang, Longtan and Xiashu, there is not one out of ten, which is enough to see the results of this battle. ”

Long Xi nodded and said, "The handsome man is wise, and it is most appropriate to retreat now." ”

"Dashuai, everything is ready, you can retreat."

Lu Shaochuan ran over and nodded and said.

Li Zhen looked at the unarmed Taiping army who was still charging, and sighed in his heart. Immediately, his gaze fell on the soldier with the shield in hand, and he commanded: "Pass the order, the army retreats!" ”

The words fell, and Li Zhen left under the cover of Long Xi and the rest of the soldiers.

Lu Shaochuan took a deep breath and shouted: "Brothers, we have fought this battle, we have killed countless bandits, and the brothers are all good." Now, let's retreat, retreat with me! ”

The order was given, and the soldiers of a regiment under Lu Shaochuan began to retreat.

The retreat is not a swarm retreat, but an orderly retreat.

The first to retreat were the soldiers in the camp who did not go to battle, then the soldiers who blocked the bandits' attacks retreated, and finally the soldiers with shields to retreat. Huang Qiang led the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion to cover the retreat of the army, but fortunately, the pursuers behind were unarmed Taiping troops, and these people were still wading through mines, so they could not attack or pursue.

Li Zhen's army retreated neatly in the blink of an eye.

"Yang Xiuqing, there will be a period later."

Li Zhen's army didn't run far, and the army suddenly erupted in roars one after another. The voice was chaotic, but it clearly reached Yang Xiuqing's ears.

Yang Xiuqing was suddenly furious and shouted: "You can't let Li Zhen escape, chase after him!" ”

This time Yang Xiuqing and Li Zhen fought, Li Zhen first let the soldiers shoot, and used the advantage of weapons to suppress Yang Xiuqing's soldiers, which had an impact on Yang Xiuqing. Then Yang Xiuqing's soldiers attacked, but they were blocked by mines and moved as slowly as a snail. When the army stepped on the mines and rushed forward, Li Zhen asked the soldiers to throw grenades to attack, causing great damage to Yang Xiuqing's army.

However, when he was about to rush to Li Zhen's camp, Li Zhen actually retreated.

Such a result made Yang Xiuqing feel like his fist was hitting the air, and he didn't focus at all. The most important thing is that Li Zhen made frequent moves, which had a great impact on him, but he didn't use a single back-up move, and the means he prepared were not used, which made Yang Xiuqing hysterical.

"Chase, chase, can't let Li Zhen escape."

Yang Xiuqing kept yelling, and his tone was unquestionable.

Hong Xuanjiao also yelled, she also didn't want to see Li Zhen escape. Seeing that Li Zhen was running farther and farther away with the soldiers, while the soldiers in the army were still wading through the thunder, Hong Xuanjiao said eagerly and loudly: "King Dong, use foreign soldiers quickly, these soldiers are tall and fast, and they will definitely be able to catch up with Li Zhen." Quick, let them chase after them. ”

Yang Xiuqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted: "Lars, immediately lead the army to pursue." ”

Lars, a retired British soldier, is the manager of Maas's team of foreigners. After retiring from the army, he was selected by Maas to form a team of foreigners to protect Maas's arsenal. It's just that now he has become the one commanded by Yang Xiuqing.

Lars received Yang Xiuqing's order and shouted: "Everyone obeys the order and pursues the Qing army." ”

As the words fell, the 1,000 soldiers of Lars' side rushed forward quickly.

By the time they charged, the unarmed soldiers in front had already approached the camp and passed through the most dangerous minefields. It's just that before these soldiers could rush forward, Lars had already led people to chisel these soldiers open, enter the Qing army camp along the place where the soldiers had trampled before, and began to pursue the fleeing Qing army.
