A few cavalrymen rushed to the front of the Sichuan army's defense line one after another, they raised their sabers, the cold light flashed with a chill to the bone, the leader's war horse jumped over the simple trench, and rushed to the team at once, his eyes were bloody, and he was about to swing his war knife to harvest life, at the moment when he raised the saber high, the sound of a pistol came, and a string of bullets passed through his chest, shattering all the internal organs, and blood kept coming out of his mouth and nose.

There was still a trace of unwillingness in his eyes and fell to the ground, and then several other bandits who rushed to the front of the formation were also killed, and in the blink of an eye, the bandits had already left more than 200 corpses in front of the position, and the leaders had already died, they completely lost their fighting spirit and retreated one after another.

However, their retreat was obviously not a very good choice, and the soldiers of the Sichuan army had just paid more than 40 lives, and they were on fire, and as soon as they retreated, they had to go through the baptism of mortars and machine guns, and in the end only 30 people successfully withdrew.

Li Hongbin has been watching the battle from a distance, seeing such a heavy loss Li Hongbin gradually became a little worried, the Sichuan army is definitely not comparable to other officers and troops, the Sichuan army has fierce firepower, the will to fight is tenacious, and they also occupy the advantage of numbers, this is people's territory, and their chances of winning are really not big.

At this moment, Li Hongbin heard a buzzing sound again, it turned out that there were two planes in the air, flying over their heads, drawing a beautiful arc and flying back, seeing here Li Hongbin's heart became more and more anxious, the Sichuan army has now used the plane to target itself, people are condescending, and if they want to escape, they can only wait for the night, and protect themselves with the help of night.

In any case, I have to survive this afternoon, just when Li Hongbin transferred his troops, the Sichuan army brigade had already rushed over, and the formation of the entire Sichuan army presented the shape of a fan, divided into three ways to press the bandit army, Qiao Yu personally led a brigade plus an artillery regiment as the main attack force, directly attacking the bandit army position outside the White Emperor City, and the remaining brigade and cavalry regiment were divided into left and right roads to intercept the route of the bandit army's rout.

Qiao Yu personally inspected the artillery position, the commander of this artillery regiment is Wang Zhanxu, since the battle of Sichuan and Yunnan, Wang Zhanxu has risen to the top, he is also bent on meritorious service and awards, and is commanding his subordinates to work hard.

"Chai Ni, although the bandit army is not strong in combat, if it can't hit the bandit army as soon as possible, once they flee in all directions, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not become Li Zicheng's henchmen, so everything must be based on annihilating the living force of the bandit army!"

"Thank you for the teachings of the marshal, the humble post will definitely complete the task!"

The Sichuan army quickly completed the construction of the position, at this time Li Hongbin's subordinates were all mobilized, this time Li Hongbin sent all the coerced people to the front, these people were all captured in the surrounding area, men, women and children, all trembling, frightened, the backbone bandits in the back as a supervising team, driving these cannon fodder troops to rush to the position of the Sichuan army.

The bandit army began to attack, and the artillery of the Sichuan army began to roar, the lives of the troubled world are so cheap, and there is no need for any mercy, and there are also many bandits among these people, as long as they are a little slack, it is easy for them to break through to the front, once the hand-to-hand combat is equivalent to giving up the firepower advantage of the Sichuan army.

Soon the shells fell like hail in the attacking crowd, and every time the shells fell, several or even a dozen lives were lost, and the people who were driven away gradually began to panic, some shouted and cursed the bandits, some shouted to the Sichuan army, let them stop the shelling, and some were a little more shrewd and simply lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

The whole battlefield was in chaos, as the crowd of people approached closer, the machine guns swept over like a storm, these people did not even have a little military knowledge, one by one ran straight forward, just became a live target, like cutting wheat, the ground fell one after another corpses, blood stained the earth red.

Li Hongbin observed the situation on the battlefield with a telescope from afar, his heart sank completely, the firepower of the Sichuan army was too fierce, they couldn't withstand it at all, and these Sichuan troops were also well-trained, there would be no hesitation at all, soon those cannon fodder would be exhausted, and if they continued to fight, they would have to fight their own old roots.

But it was only about three o'clock in the afternoon, and he really didn't have any doubts about whether his men and horses would be able to hold out until dark, and at this time the Sichuan army had already swept away the ordinary people who were in the way, and some of the remaining people were lying on the ground, motionless.

At this time, the artillery of the Sichuan army became more violent, forming a barrage to press the bandits, and other Sichuan soldiers also jumped out of the trenches, bent their bodies and quickly rushed towards the bandits, these Sichuan soldiers lined up in a scattered line, under the cover of artillery fire and machine guns, quickly approached the bandits, and a large number of bandits were killed.

Li Hongbin's eyes were already red, and he desperately commanded his subordinates to block the offensive of the Sichuan army, but the bandits' greatest ability was the battle of Da Shunfeng, once they knew that their desperate efforts would be useless, many bandits began to retreat, especially those who escaped from Sichuan, and now seeing the Sichuan army approaching rapidly, they reminded them of last year's painful experience, or the most important thing to flee quickly, Man Shanhong was no exception, with her subordinates quickly escaped, she did not go to the direction of Daning, but went directly to the direction of Hubei, this Sichuan is really not the place to come.

There are fewer and fewer soldiers around Li Hongbin, and from a distance they can already see that the advancing Sichuan army has approached them, mortar shells explode around them from time to time, and pieces of bandit soldiers are lying on the spot.

At this time, the other two Sichuan armies have also been killed, especially the cavalry troops are constantly interspersed with the bandit army by virtue of the advantage of speed, and the fleeing bandit army can only be captured with their hands tied in addition to being killed, and few can escape, and the Sichuan army is surrounded from three sides.

The military police trapped in the White Emperor City had already received the leaflets sent by the plane, knowing that the army would soon be killed, and these bandits would soon be destroyed, so everyone was prepared, and when they saw that the bandits outside the city had fled, they also opened the city gate and attacked together, and the speed of the bandit army's rout was even faster.

Li Hongbin only had about 100 people left around him at this time, and more than 4,000 subordinates were all lost under the White Emperor City, although Li Hongbin also experienced ups and downs, but it was the first time to lose so badly, and the more important thing is that the Sichuan army is still in hot pursuit, whether it can escape from the surname is still between the two, Li Hongbin can only run away with his life, and at this time the sky is gradually darkening, there is no nasty plane on his head, Li Hongbin gradually put his mind at ease, he fled directly to Daning, there are more than 2,000 soldiers left behind in Daning, As long as these people can be kept, Li Hongbin will have time to make a comeback.

"Marshal, we have killed more than 2,700 bandits in total, captured nearly 3,000 bandits, and the main force of the bandit army has been wiped out!" Zhang Zili reported the battle situation to Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu nodded slightly.

"It's very good, but I can't give them any respite, chase me overnight, and I must not let go of a thief!"

Qiao Yu gave an order, and the Sichuan army pursued overnight regardless of the fatigue of the battle, and Liu Yunhong and the cavalry team chased in the direction of Daning like a whirlwind!
