Hong Xuanjiao panicked. He was so confused that when he heard the suggestion of the generals of Xia Shu Town, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's take the trail and retreat to Xia Shu Town." Quick, all cross the river and take the trail! ”

At this moment, Hong Xuanjiao was completely like a puppet, surrounded by soldiers and retreated.

"Kill the bandits!"

"Arrest Hong Xuanjiao and arrest Hong Xuanjiao back!"

……

There were all kinds of roars in the woods and on the official road, and as the roars came out, a large banner also appeared in sight, and the momentum was huge, as if there were thousands of troops and horses hiding in the woods. Hong Xuanjiao heard the shouting and killing behind her, looked back at the Qing army that was like a tiger, and was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, thinking that Li Zhen was coming with a large army.

Hong Xuanjiao chuckled in her heart, and secretly said that Li Zhen was too cunning, and there were so many soldiers.

When she sent troops from Longtan Town, she got the news that Li Zhen only brought 2,000 soldiers to attack Xiashu Town. But now it seems that Li Zhen deliberately sent out the number of 2,000 people to lower her vigilance, so as to attract her to send troops to pursue, and then want to completely annihilate the soldiers led by her. Hong Xuanjiao didn't think about the reasonableness, and subconsciously thought that Li Zhen led the whole army to attack.

She fled with her soldiers, running towards the river.

On the road, corpses were lying on the ground, already bleeding profusely.

Li Zhen led the soldiers out of the woods, with a smile on his face, without the slightest worry on his face. Although Hong Xuanjiao has more than 10,000 soldiers, the soldiers led by Hong Xuanjiao are not a whole, and are composed of three camps: Dongyang Town, Xiashu Town, and Longtan Town. After the formation was disrupted, the soldiers only cared about whether they could escape, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties.

Such an army, Li Zhen did not care about it at all.

Li Zhen followed behind unhurriedly with Long Xi, not in a hurry to catch up. The army approached the river, and Li Zhen laughed even more when he found that Hong Xuanjiao had once again started to cross the river with the army.

"Shoot, shoot me!"

Li Zhen told the soldiers to stop and opened fire.

"Bang! Bang!!! ”

Dense gunfire continued to echo along the river, and countless Taiping soldiers were shot and sank into the water. Blood stained the river red, and the whole river turned red.

Hong Xuanjiao was running in front, and after she crossed the river, she looked at the enemy troops on the opposite side who had not yet crossed the river, and her eyes were full of hatred. It's just that she has no choice but to organize the soldiers to retreat as soon as possible. After the Taiping army crossed the river, they did not stop at all, and continued to run forward in a swarm, for fear of being killed by bullets.

Seeing this, Li Zhen still did not rush to pursue.

Previously, Li Zhen asked the soldiers to wave their flags and shout, pretending to be like a tiger, in order to deter Hong Xuanjiao and make Hong Xuanjiao dare not stop the decisive battle. If the other party pursued immediately after crossing the river, it would be easy to expose his own situation, which was not in line with Li Zhen's idea, so Li Zhen did not pursue immediately.

In this regard, Hong Xuanjiao took a breath, because the river opened the distance between the two sides.

When he hurried forward, Hong Xuanjiao's delicate body was once again exposed. She ran forward, her wet clothes clinging to her skin, her chest trembling, very seductive. It's just that all the soldiers are busy running for their lives, and no one has time to watch Hong Xuanjiao's angry delicate body. Hong Xuanjiao's mind was not on herself, she looked at the three guards of Dongyang Town, Xiashu Town and Longtan Town who were following her, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, while Li Zhen's army is still crossing the river, let's retreat quickly!" ”

The guard of Xia Shu Town glanced back at the corpses on the official road, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.

His eyes fell on the staggering soldiers, and he couldn't tell where the soldiers belonged clearly.

What's more, the soldiers lost more than half of them and suffered heavy casualties.

This situation made the generals of Xiashu Town very distressed, and the same was true of the guards of Dongyang Town and Longtan Town. The two even secretly complained that Hong Xuanjiao's command was wrong, Li Zhen was obviously hiding on the wide official road, Hong Xuanjiao was self-righteous and thought that there was no danger on the official road, and finally ran into Li Zhen.

If you take the trail, there is no problem.

The two looked at each other, in addition to a trace of dissatisfaction, a trace of resentment, and endless worries, worried about their next situation. If he is caught up by Li Zhen, he will definitely die.

The group soon returned to the avenue and approached the trail.

Seeing this, Hong Xuanjiao stopped and took a breath, with a look of joy on her face. She rested a little, and then continued to rush forward with the army, and soon entered the path. Because the road was narrow, the soldiers had to form a long line, and one by one the soldiers lined up to advance, like a long snake lying across the official road.

Entering the trail, the guards of Xiashu Town, Dongyang Town, and Longtan Town all breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, temporarily got rid of Li Zhen.

Because of the narrowness of the trail and the fact that the trail is surrounded by rolling hills, such a road restricts the speed of the soldiers, and it is impossible to move quickly. The army had been driving for half an hour when they heard shouts of killing from behind. When Hong Xuanjiao and the rest of the generals heard this, they were all worried and ran forward quickly.

Obviously, Li Zhen chased after him with his soldiers.

As the army marched forward, on the right side of the trail was a high mountain, lush and very lush.

"Well, Hong Xuanjiao, Uncle Ben has been waiting here for a long time, let's die!" Just as everyone was hurrying forward, a tiger's roar came from the path ahead. In sight, Lu Shaochuan rushed out with a pair of soldiers. This group of soldiers waved their flags and shouted, and the flags fluttered in the wind, like a long snake running towards them, and the momentum was violent.

Seeing this, Hong Xuanjiao's eyes suddenly widened and she froze in place. I am afraid that there are no less than four or five thousand people in this kind of momentum. Coupled with the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Li Zhen's command, can the remnants of the defeated soldiers led by her be stopped?

There is a large army in front of them, and then they are chasing and killing, and there are enemies in front and behind, what should I do?

Hong Xuanjiao's face showed a look of despair, looking left and right, revealing the cowardice of a woman. At the same time, the guards of Longtan Town and Dongyang Town were also pale with fright, their legs trembled, and they almost fell to the ground. The eyes of the two looked at the generals of Xia Shu Town, and they didn't know what to do.

The guard of Xia Shu Town is a capable person, and he immediately made a decision and said loudly: "Xiao Wangniang, rush to the mountain on the right." We went up the mountain to take advantage of the barriers of the mountains and forests. ”

"Okay, go up the mountain, go up the mountain immediately!"

Hong Xuanjiao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and directly agreed to the proposal of the guard general of Xia Shu Town.

The guards of Dongyang Town and Longtan Town had long been frightened and short-circuited, and when they heard the advice of the generals of Xia Shu Town, they didn't say a word, turned around and ran towards the mountain. The generals did so, and the soldiers followed suit. These soldiers didn't pay attention to it, and when they saw which direction the general was running, they naturally followed suit.

Soon, the army gathered into a long snake and rushed up the mountain. When Lu Shaochuan saw it, he smiled, but symbolically chased after the soldiers, and did not go up the mountain.

It didn't take long for Li Zhen's army to catch up and join Lu Shaochuan. The two armies converged, and Lu Shaochuan said: "Marshal, Hong Xuanjiao led the army up the mountain and achieved the goal." ”
