"What the hell is going on, how do the officers and soldiers know our location?" Someone in a panic asked aloud.

"It's Yang Chengzu and Wang Long, the two anti-backbones, they must have told the secret to the officers and soldiers, and I would personally lead people to destroy them if I knew it!" Liu Zongmin's teeth were gritted loudly.

"What's the use of talking about this now, let's think about how to escape first!" Li Zicheng drank impatiently, at this time he also secretly regretted in his heart, was he too hasty to make a move on Luo Rucai, if Luo Rucai was still alive now, at least he should still have time to calmly deal with these officers and soldiers who suddenly came out, after all, although Luo Rucai is greedy and lustful, at least this person still has talent, and the combat effectiveness of the men and horses under his command is not bad, and he can hold on for a while, but now after some purging, the combat effectiveness of these horses under his command is also greatly reduced, Not to mention working hard with the officers and soldiers, it would be good not to help.

However, Li Zicheng is a professional rebel after all, and he has seen a lot of situations like the one in his life, so he is not too alarmed. Soon he immediately shouted: "Come on, you immediately bring a thousand brothers from the old battalion and five thousand brothers from the outer battalion to block those officers and soldiers, and I and you brothers will retreat to the north first, and we will meet at Shijiazizhuang tonight!" ”

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely make those dog officers and soldiers look good!" Li Guo grinned, he is Li Zicheng's nephew, he has always had a reputation for bravery, in the past, he was quite trusted by Li Zicheng, and often handed over any difficult battles to him, and he can always live up to the trust, this time Li Zicheng handed over the heavy responsibility of blocking officers and soldiers to him.

Listening to the increasingly rapid fighting outside, Li Zicheng didn't have time to say anything to Li Duo, so he led a group of generals to withdraw towards the north, Li Guo took out the scimitar on his waist and said to a kind of leader behind him: "Brothers, follow me, this time we want those officers and soldiers to look good, kill!" He said. Li Guo jumped on his war horse and galloped forward.

"Bang ......"

A flurry of guns flashed, and the bodies of dozens of rogues who were blocking the front were all punched out of large holes.

"Forward!"

A voice sounded, and hundreds of musketeers slowly walked over with their muskets and pat on either side of these musketeers, and on either side of them were the sword, shield and pikemen under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, whose task was to protect the flanks of these musketeers from being attacked by the rogues.

The temper of the soldiers is generally relatively horizontal, at the beginning, these generals under the command of Lu Xiangsheng were naturally unwilling to do this work that was clearly a supporting role, but after seeing the combat strength of the Xuan army, these arrogant generals who were originally dissatisfied with seven and eight were dissatisfied with the anger also lost their temper. When people fight, no matter who is in front of them, they all push flat, and the rogues who were originally inseparable from the officers and soldiers are like encountering the heavy snow of the scorching sun after encountering the Xuan army, and they all lose their temper, and anyone who encounters such a person has to obey.

When Li hurried to the battlefield with his men and horses, the rogues who were driving to the front were retreating in a chaotic manner. Li Guo took out a long knife and cut a thief to the ground and shouted: "Brothers, you have all seen the current situation, everyone can only have a chance of life if they fight to the death, I will leave my words here today, and now whoever dares to take a step back will blame me for being ruthless under the knife!" ”

Li Guo was talking, and the thousand old battalion men and horses he brought also blocked the retreat behind them, and many people pointed forward with arrows with longbows flashing cold, looking at the fierce and vicious expressions of these people, anyone knew that these people were definitely not joking.

He glanced coldly at the rogues in front of him. Li Guo's long knife went forward, and he said that he was in a trance and a few pages of soothing

The rogues who were blocked in the back road had no choice but to turn around and rush forward, while Li Guo led a thousand old battalions of men and horses behind. Constantly driving the 5,000 rogues he brought and the defeated rogues in front of him, he launched a counter-charge against the officers and soldiers in front.

Speaking of which, the tactics of the rogue have not changed from ancient times to the present, all of them are based on crowd tactics, and at most they make a promise before the war, how to drink and eat meat in large chunks after defeating the enemy. In the end, everyone is allowed to not control their crotch, and they can openly rob money and women, etc., and rush forward in a honeycomb when they start a war. After retreating, it is also a swarm of retreat, and nothing has changed for thousands of years.

When the officers and soldiers who were driving the rogues backwards saw that the rogues were back again, the platoon guns of the Xuanda army at the front rang out again, and with the sound of gunfire, the rogues who rushed to the front fell down one after another. However, this time, the rogues, who had no way to retreat, were no longer as quick to collapse as they had just now, and under the drive of the old battalion horse team behind, the people behind just rushed forward one after another.

The gunshots on the mountain ridge continued to fall, but these rogues seemed to be inexhaustible, still rushing forward in an endless stream, and the Xuanda army in front of the gunners was too distributed, and the shortcomings of the weak distribution of the Xuanda army's gunners were reflected, due to the small number of people, the firepower was naturally relatively weakened, and the rogues gradually narrowed the distance with them. He desperately waved the long knife in his hand and kept driving the rogues forward, and he kept shouting: "Brothers, rush forward!" As long as we rush over, we will win, and those dog officers and soldiers will be scattered! ”

"Kill ......"

"Rush, ......"

In fact, it's not just Li Guo, even those rogues who rushed forward began to get excited at this time, these days they have fought so many battles with the Xuan army and have not won a single battle, it is really the firearms of the Xuan army are too powerful, every time the gun is fired, a large piece will fall, this huge killing is a very great deterrent to people, and now they finally see the dawn of defeating the Xuan army, how can they not be excited, not only Li Guo, but even some small leaders in the team spontaneously drove the surrounding rogues forward, Strive to defeat the wave of Xuanda army in front of him, especially Li Guo, he thought that if he could capture a batch of firearms used by the Xuanda army, and then use these firecrackers to equip the brothers in the old camp, then the world would be so big that he would be at his own mercy!

Seeing the rogues rushing up, the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen who were responsible for covering the flanks of the firecrackers began to look stern, only to see a thousand generals shouting loudly, and the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen immediately prepared to rush out and fight the returning rogues in close combat. But before he could give the order, he heard a shout from someone in the ranks of the musketeers, and the torches began to be lit, and then the musketeers put the torches away. Then he took out a black and swarthy teacup from the satchel on his waist, and when the rogues rushed to a distance of forty or fifty paces away from them, a sharp whistle sounded, and one by one the ten thousand enemies who lit the fuse flew towards the rogues like rain.

"Boom ......"

I heard a thunderous explosion, and the rogues who were rushing forward were suddenly drowned in a large white smoke of gunpowder. The explosion was so loud that all nearby sounds were drowned out by the explosion.

When the explosion stopped, and the thick smoke gradually cleared, people gradually saw what was ahead. Only then did I find that the dense gangsters who were rushing forward were all lying on the ground, and the rugged halfway up the mountain was full of stumps, broken arms and corpses, and after a rough visual inspection, it was three or four hundred steps wide. At least 1,000 people were killed, and because the crowd was so dense, these corpses were also stacked on top of each other, which looked very scary.

And such a horrific situation is terrifying even to the veterans of a hundred battles, let alone those rabble thieves? The rogues who had plucked up the courage to charge with their blood and the pressure of the bullets of the 1,000 old battalion soldiers and horses behind finally collapsed, and in front of this kind of thing beyond their cognition, some people threw away their weapons one after another, crying and shouting, and rushed towards the back, for them, they would rather be killed by the old battalion who supervised the battle behind than die under that kind of terrifying thing.

More and more people ran backwards, and soon almost all the rogues began to run backwards, and the scene was very amazing when tens of thousands of people were defeated.

The collapse came so suddenly. This made the old battalion that supervised the battle behind have no time to reflect, although the horse team of the old battalion cut down dozens of defeated rogues in a row, they could not stop the retreat of the rogues, and soon many people in the old battalion were pushed to the ground with men and horses, and quickly disappeared into the sea of people like a dam overflowed by the tide.

"Why...... Why is this happening! Li Guo looked at the mountains and fields in front of him, and looked sluggish at the defeated rogues in the rear. After a long time, he muttered to himself: "Obviously, they are almost rushing to those officers and soldiers, why is this happening?" ”

The guards around Li Guo didn't see so much, and one of the guards grabbed the reins of his horse and said eagerly: "Master Li, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave!" ”

The guard's words seemed to blow up somewhere in his nerves. He shouted: "I won't leave, King Chuang has entrusted me with the task of the queen of the palace, if I give up halfway, how can I have the face to see King Chuang!" ”

"Master Li. If you don't leave, it's too late! ”

"If I don't leave, you will immediately sue the brothers of the old camp, and then kill me with them, and kill a batch of those mud legs for me, I don't believe that they dare to escape!" Li Guo ignored the guards' dissuasion, and still shouted violently.

Just as Li Guo was speaking, the retreating rogues were already rushing towards them like a tide, rushing dozens of guards around Li Guo almost to disperse. A burly guard leader saw that it was not good, and did not talk nonsense with him, pulled the reins of his horse and forcibly turned the head of Li Guo's war horse, and then pulled out the dagger on his waist and stabbed the horse in the buttocks, the painful war horse raised its head and neighed and rushed forward......

Li Zicheng lost this battle, and he lost very badly. More than 30,000 rogues were defeated on the whole line under the sudden blows of the officers and soldiers, and what was worse was that Li Guo, who was in charge of the break, did not even hold on for an hour and retreated, which further led to the speed of the retreat of the rogues, and when Li Zicheng escaped with great difficulty, he found that there were less than 3,000 men and horses left around him.

At noon, Li Zicheng and other rout soldiers stopped at a place called Shijiazizhuang, which was a village with only about 100 households, and as soon as Li Zicheng and these rout soldiers came, they drove the whole village to the center of the village, killing all the men and children, and the women and children were dragged around by those routs and began to vent their animal desires. Li Zicheng did not stop such a situation, and now that the army is newly defeated, it is conducive to restoring the morale of these routs to vent their spirits. As for whether this is the right thing to do...... I'm sorry, but this kind of thing is never a consideration for a rogue whose life is in danger.

The beastly desires of the defeated soldiers were vented until dusk, and then they came out of all corners with their belts on their belts, and began to bury the food they had scavenged from the houses. After the sky turned completely dark, most of the people went to Zhuangzi one after another.

When everyone saw each other, everyone saw each other's wolf bèi appearance. The armor was slanted, some even lost their weapons, and in short, almost most of the things were lost in the middle of the road.

A bonfire was lit, and Li Zicheng sat on a stump, looking coldly at Li Guo kneeling in front of him.

"Come on, what did I tell you today, is this how you broke off? It's all because you didn't break off the back, and now there are less than 3,000 of our tens of thousands of troops left! You...... You're a piece of rubbish! ”

Li Guo is Li Zicheng's nephew, and Li Zicheng loves this nephew the most on weekdays. But today he was really angry, so he immediately scolded.

Li Guo, who was kneeling on the ground, was completely devoid of his previous fierceness, and he said promisedly: "King Chuang, today I have already led the army to fight the officers and soldiers to fight a counterattack, but I was beaten back by the Xuan army, these 10,000 enemies of the Xuan army are too powerful, they only threw out less than three rounds of those mud legs and were defeated, although I took the brothers of the old camp to stop it desperately but still couldn't stop it, those mud legs were red eyes one by one." Many of the old camp brothers also died because of them. He couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that many of the cavalrymen of the old battalion had been trampled to death after being dismounted by those defeated rogues.

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and looked at Li Guo's chest rising and falling on the ground, he naturally knew that Li Guo was telling the truth, and he couldn't be clearer about the virtues of those rogues. These people joined his army of rogues for a bite to eat, these people are okay to fight a good fight, and if they encounter a little defeat, these people can run faster than anything else!

At this time, Liu Zongmin on the side also persuaded: "King Chuang." Don't blame Li too much, you must know that he is facing the Xuan army, which is not a good stubble. It's good that he can pick up a life and come back, what do you want to do? ”

As Li Zicheng's number one general, Liu Zongmin's face is still very big, and besides, Li Zicheng doesn't really want to deal with his nephew, he glared at Li Guo fiercely and sighed and said: "That's it, you get up, you can't be blamed for this defeat, if there is no Yang Chengzu and Wang Long, we won't fall to this point!" ”

Liu Zongmin shook his head: "What's the use of talking about these now, let's plant it this time, the question is where are we going?" ”

Li Zicheng sighed and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a dull gunfire outside.

"Bang ......"

As the gunshots rang out, all the thieves who had been sitting in the village to rest jumped up, they were all too familiar with this kind of sound, it was the unique sound of fire in the Xuan army.

"Not good...... The Xuan army is coming! ”

Today, the horror of the Xuan army has long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the thieves, and the familiar sound of gunfire has long been transformed into a life-threatening talisman.

"Don't run...... Gather and listen to my orders and rush out! ”

Li Zicheng jumped onto a big rock and shouted loudly, but at this time, no one heard him except for his hundreds of guards and the surrounding generals.

Looking at the crowd in chaos, Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said to the generals around him: "It seems that the Xuan army is really going to kill me, now if we get together and the goal is too big, everyone will rush separately, whoever can survive will have their own destiny!" ”

Speaking of Wan, Li Zicheng jumped on his war horse and rushed towards the north, and his hundreds of civil guards also followed closely behind him. The others did not hesitate at all, and all of them got on their horses and rushed in all directions......

"Bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

Dense gunfire accompanied by shouts of killing, and the rogues were either killed or surrendered. Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and crouched on the horse's back and galloped desperately, he rushed left and right and constantly looked for a way to stand out in the night, in the darkness he didn't know how many officers and soldiers poured into the village, he only knew that there were constantly gunshots around him, and the guards who were originally tightly clustered around him kept falling off their horses, and in the end only more than 30 people followed him.

I don't know how long it took, Li Zicheng ran to a crossroads, he tightened the reins to stop the war horse, and was about to beckon the guards to come over, but suddenly saw several flashes of fire in the distance.

"King Chuang beware!" An alert guard suddenly shouted and rode his horse in front of him, and then the guard was hit by several buckshots, and even the men and horses were beaten into a hornet's nest, and fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Not good, there is an ambush!" Li Zicheng shouted, and then looked at the shouting and killing sound that was getting closer and closer behind him, and he shouted: "Everyone rush forward with me, otherwise they will all die here!" ”

After speaking, Li Zicheng rode his horse and rushed forward, but as soon as he rushed more than ten steps, another burst of gunfire rang out, Li Zicheng felt a pain in his chest, his body was hit by a huge force, and the whole person rose into the air, and then he didn't know anything...... (To be continued......)
