Chapter Ninety-Seven: Fleeing in a Hurry

Just when Li Guo led the thief to pounce, Li Yuan, who was not surprised or happy, smiled and said: "Okay, if it's really a thief, this time it's Lao Tzu's turn to make meritorious contributions!" ”

After speaking, Li Yuan shook the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, array!" ”

It is said that the sixty soldiers brought by Li Yuan are the first batch of soldiers trained by Pang Gang in Wanghai Fort, and they are also one of the most elite soldiers of Lingshanwei today.

The grumpy Gao Yigong took the lead with a long knife and a shield and rushed to the front, and he was experienced in the battle formation while hiding behind the shield while charging, and the long knife in his hand slashed forward. In his impression, the morale of the soldiers of the Ming army is generally very low, as long as he takes his brothers to slash and kill, the soldiers of the Ming army will generally not be able to resist the retreat and even form a rout, and then as long as he leads his brothers to chase and kill the Ming army, he will kneel and surrender.

"Dangchang!"

With a loud bang, Gao Yigong's long knife slashed at the head of a Ming soldier's gun, and there was a loud noise, Gao Yigong as a famous general in the army, his personal bravery is beyond doubt, and the long knife in his hand weighs fifteen catties with natural strength. In the past battles with the Ming army, he relied on this heavy knife to make a lot of achievements, and he was also loved by Li Zicheng. With his previous experience, he expected that the Ming army would inevitably get out of his spear with a single slash from his heavy sword, so that he could take advantage of the situation and rush into the Ming army's formation to disrupt their formation.

But today he miscalculated, when his heavy knife swept away the spear of the Ming army on the opposite side, he found that although the other party was shocked and bleeding under the sharp slash of his long knife, he still tried to hold the spear and not let the weapon go.

This made Gao Yigong slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but stare at the soldier opposite and praised: "Good boy, let's cut again!" Gao Yigong said, and used the big shield to protect his body, and then the long knife in his hand was repeated and slashed over.

However, this time Gao Yigong was not as easy as just now, just as Gao Yigong's heavy knife was about to slash at the soldier, he immediately stretched out three spears from the front, like poisonous snakes, from three different directions towards Gao Yigong's upper, middle and lower three ways, with the slender and bright tip of the spear with a blood groove, Gao Yigong's eyes were spent. Although Gao Yigong was holding a big shield in his left hand, the shield could not protect the whole body, if he was stabbed by any spear, he would have to bear it, Gao Yigong did not dare to slack off and hurriedly retreated a few steps back to his companions.

"These bastards, brothers, give it to me!!"

Gao Yigong, who retreated to his own camp, felt that he had lost face, and was so angry that he commanded more than 100 brothers of the old eighth battalion to rush towards the sixty Ming troops who were surrounded in the middle, Gao Yigong was confident that with the favorable terrain, numerical advantage and the bravery of the brothers in the old battalion, he killed all these dozens of Ming soldiers in a cup of tea, and then he could leave calmly.

But what happened to him was shocked, not only did these officers and soldiers who were surrounded in the courtyard not panic, but they withstood the attack of more than 100 brothers in the old battalion under the command of the general banner by temporarily forming a quadrangular formation, and they also suffered more than 10 casualties as soon as they came into contact with the brothers in the old battalion.

"What the hell is going on?"

Surprised, Gao Yigong took a closer look, it turned out that there was nothing unusual about these Ming troops relying on the back-to-back quadripartite formation, but their cooperation was very skillful and tacit, although their total number was less than that of the brothers in the old battalion, but with the formation they actually took the advantage of local forces in the front, and every old battalion brother who came into contact with them would be greeted by two or three spears. Gao Yigong glanced at it twice and saw that the marksmanship of these Ming soldiers was extremely simple, nothing more than three moves: stabbing, sprinting and blocking, but it was very effective, and the position of their stabbing was also extremely tricky, either the throat or the heart, or the abdomen, head and other parts, and with the blood groove on the tip of their spear Once the brothers were shot, the part of the shot would bleed endlessly, and now Gao Yigong had a rogue who was shot in the abdomen, and the blood flowed out from his abdomen like a spring, and he couldn't stop pressing it. After a while, the rogue lost a lot of blood and closed his eyes.

Just as Gao Yigong was jumping like thunder on the side, picking up the long knife and about to join the battle in person, a bright light erupted from the center of this group of Ming troops, and a cannon shot flew into the sky, and then burst in mid-air, making a loud "bump" and emitting a dazzling light.

"Master Gao, it's not good, these officers and soldiers have already sent a distress signal!" Li Guo, who had been watching the battle with a calm face, couldn't help but be taken aback, and said loudly: "Master, let's withdraw quickly, we can't gnaw on these people." And as soon as the artillery battle rang out, half of the people in Qingzhou City could see it, and their reinforcements would arrive soon, let's hurry up and take advantage of the fact that there are still displaced people coming in and out of the city and they can't close the city gate, it's too late! ”

Gao Yigong watched the other party fight vigorously under the siege of more than 100 of his old camp brothers, but on the contrary, he had already laid down more than 20 brothers, and an unwilling emotion surged into his heart. But he also knew that now was not the time to be emotional, so he slammed the long knife in his hand and shouted unwillingly: "Scarface, you take thirty brothers to block these court eagle dogs, and the others will withdraw with Lao Tzu!" ”

After saying that, he and Li Guo took the lead in rushing to the backyard, and the rogues who were fighting with the Ming army in front heard Gao Yigong's order, and one of the thieves led by them made a loud whistle, and they immediately divided thirty people to entangle Li Yuan and these people, and the rest of the people rushed towards the backyard like a tide, their movements were fast and fast, and soon except for the wounded soldiers lying on the ground and the dozens of rogues who were pestering them, the courtyard became empty

"Kill!"

A spear like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter stabbed into the throat of a rogue, and two spears stabbed him in the chest and abdomen at the same time.

"Phew!"

Looking at the corpse of the rogues who fell to the ground, Li Yuan, who was tired and sweating profusely, spat on the ground unwillingly and scolded unwillingly: "What a fucking bad luck, I actually let these rogues run away!" ”

Although they killed more than 50 rogues in this battle, they let their leaders run away, making Li Yuan's credit this time inevitably deducted, which made him feel very regretful.

Looking at the corpses in the courtyard, Li Yuan checked his own casualties again, except for the three who were seriously injured, the rest of the more than ten wounded were all minor injuries, which made Li Yuan's heart relax slightly, if the casualties were too large, the adults of the thousand households would scold their mothers.

Just as Li Yuan was about to instruct the soldiers to send the wounded soldiers to the back for treatment, there was another clangling sound outside the door, and the door opened widely, and it turned out that the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers had arrived

Thanks to the clan leader for the tip!
