Looking at the comrades who came to the rescue in front of him, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in Li Xiaohu's eyes, was he moved? Is it a blessing? Li Xiaohu himself doesn't know, maybe it's both. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Hurry up and take the battalion commander first!" The pro-soldiers who came to the rescue were roaring loudly and rushing towards Liu Zongmin with the remaining few people, and the remaining two people picked up Li Xiaohu, who had fallen off his horse, and ran to the rear desperately. Seeing this situation, the surrounding soldiers of the pro-military battalion quickly moved closer to Li Xiaohu's direction, and in just a few breaths, the soldiers who came from all sides had already surrounded Li Xiaohu in the middle of the crowd.

After Liu Zongmin cut down a few soldiers in front of him, there were no less than 100 people in front of Li Xiaohu, and the enemy slipped away from under his nose. This made Liu Zongmin feel ashamed and indignant, and the unwilling Liu Zongmin roared and rode towards Li Xiaohu. After only a few steps forward, Liu Zongmin had to restrain his war horse, because there were as many as a dozen spears in front of him.

Two fists are invincible to four hands, facing hundreds of spears shining with cold light in front of him, even if Liu Zongmin has more unwillingness in his heart, he can only force it now.

The disparity between the enemy's strength and ours was too great, and even if the pro-soldiers sacrificed their lives, they still couldn't stop the attack of the opponent's 3,000-strong horse-riding team. After the formation was broken up by the horse team, the pro-soldiers fought separately, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack. Li Xiaohu knew that if he continued to fight, it would only increase casualties. Li Xiaohu, who was seriously wounded, hurriedly ordered the troops to assemble and break through to the west.

The situation on the battlefield changed abruptly, and with the defeat of the pro-army camp, the door for the Liukou to escape to the south had been opened, and Li Zicheng was greatly overjoyed and immediately ordered the troops to move south. The soldiers who had a heart for the rogues had also been paying attention to the battle situation on Liu Zongmin's side, and seeing that Liu Zongmin had won and had a chance of survival, they consciously went south to kill without Li Zicheng's orders. For a time, the Liukou's troops erupted with unprecedented powerful attack power, forcing the soldiers of the Broken Army to retreat continuously. After the powerful attack, the rogues seized the opportunity to quickly break free from the entanglement of the soldiers of the Broken Army in front of them, and fled south.

After all, the two-legged ones can't catch up with the four-legged ones, and most of Li Zicheng's elites are horse teams and cavalry. Most of Liu Fan's soldiers were foot soldiers, and it was difficult to pursue. At the moment when Li Xiaohu was defeated and the encirclement was breached, Liu Fan knew that his plan to keep Li Zicheng was shattered.

Liu Fan didn't feel too much surprise at this result, the number of the captives was at a disadvantage, and in the heavy rain, the combat effectiveness dropped sharply, and the current results were completely taken advantage of the rogue's negligence. If you really attack head-on, it is not yet known who will kill the deer. Liu Fan is already very satisfied with the current result, who Li Zicheng is Liu Fan knows very well, Li Zicheng is powerful Liu Fan has also understood, if a small ambush can kill Li Zicheng, then he will not become a trend-setter who dominates the world.

Li Zicheng's descendant horse team took the lead in escaping, which immediately caused a huge chain reaction, and the rogues who were still desperately resisting saw that their bosses abandoned themselves and fled, and suddenly had no determination to resist. The entire battlefield suddenly collapsed in blood, and the rogues who knew that they had no hope of escaping laid down their weapons and surrendered to the officers and soldiers. As is customary, most of the officers and soldiers would cut off their heads to ask for merit. Therefore, until the moment of life and death, the rogues will not surrender to the official army! But at this moment, the rogues can't take care of a lot, they are not a horse team, there are no fast horses, in such bad weather, if you want to escape, it is a dead end, it is better to surrender to the official army, maybe you can live.

Fortunately for these rogue "cannon fodder", they guessed correctly, Liu Fan did not order them to be slaughtered. For these evil rogues, Liu Fan is still very disgusted in his heart. But they are not those cruel and tyrannical Tartars after all, Liu Fan doesn't want to decide their life and death with such a fluttering sentence. But they will not be let go easily, waiting for them may be labor reform, or beheading, it depends on the size of the sins they have committed!

The rogue brigade gradually disappeared into the rain, and at this time, except for the thousands of rogues who surrendered on their knees, all that remained of the entire battlefield was the corpses in one place. From the beginning of the battle to the end of Li Zicheng's escape, the battle of just two hours caused huge casualties to both the enemy and us. On the battlefield, the eyes were full of mutilated corpses and broken weapons, and the entire valley was stained red with blood, and in the heavy rain, blood mixed with rain formed red streams, which were extremely bloody and dazzling.

The battle was over, but the heavy rain did not stop at all, Liu Fan was worried that after the fierce battle was over, if he was drenched in cold rain for a period of time, the soldiers' bodies would not be able to stand it. Therefore, the soldiers were immediately ordered to clean up the battlefield, collect the bones of the fallen soldiers, and bury the corpses of the enemy.

At this moment, the soldiers of the pro-army team carried Li Xiaohu to Liu Fan, and when they saw Liu Fan, Li Xiaohu burst into tears, struggling to get up from the improvised stretcher, and knelt down in front of Liu Fan with a "poof", choked up and said, "Overseer, Xiaohu has disappointed you, I failed to block the attack of the rogue, which led to the failure of the Overseer's plan, and the pro-soldier battalion suffered heavy casualties, and Xiaohu is willing to apologize for his crime with death." ”

Liu Fan stepped forward and helped Li Xiaohu to comfort him, "You are not responsible for this matter, I have seen your performance, I can only say that you are worthy of my name as a captive army." The pro-military camp also lives up to my Liu Fan's trust. Your courage in this battle is astounding, and it can be said that you are still glorious despite defeat! ”

"Overseer!" Li Xiaohu raised his head and said guiltily, "The Overseer doesn't need to comfort me, this defeat, Xiaohu, as a commander, will not escape the blame." I beg the Overseers to punish the vile and punish them with military justice! ”

Looking at Li Xiaohu's firm face, Liu Fan's heart was moved, and he was silent for a moment, Liu Fan said loudly: "In this battle, Li Xiaohu's command was ineffective, so that the rogues were escaped, and his crime is unforgivable!" Li Xiaohu was dismissed from the post of battalion commander of the personal barracks and demoted to the head of the team as a punishment. The commander of the pro-military battalion is temporarily replaced by the deputy battalion commander Wang Xuan! ”

After the order was announced, Liu Fan waved his hand and said, "Carry Xiaohu down, let the medical officer who is with the army be healed, and don't leave any root causes!" ”

Half an hour later, the battlefield was simply cleaned, and the captive army took more than 2,000 prisoners and set out on the march again. At this moment, the Broken Army was less than 100 miles away from Xing'an City, and there was a small county town less than 30 miles away from the Broken Army.

Although the battle was very short and the scale was not large, it left a deep impression on both Li Zicheng and Liu Fan, and this battle also made the two meet on the battlefield for the first time, and let both sides get to know each other again. In Li Zicheng's heart, Liu Fan's status rose rapidly, even surpassing Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Qiyu, becoming the number one enemy in Li Zicheng's heart. (To be continued.) )
