Chapter 182

The soldiers of the Ming army replied: "They are all dead, at that time, we found that there were several people squirming in the corpses, so I stepped forward to investigate, and found that it was the commander of the border capital and his two personal guards, who were dragging them on horses and preparing to retreat, but they were discovered by the Liao army sentry of Dading Mansion, and more than 1,000 Liao horsemen were chased out of the city. Immediately, we were pursued again, and happened to meet the Ming army who came to meet them, so we ....... ”

Liu Renzhen understood that the battalion of Ming troops he sent must have stepped forward to block them in order to cover them.

But at this time, the sound of the explosion has disappeared, could it be that the first battalion of the Ming army has also been wiped out?

Liu Renzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the military doctor to quickly send Bian Hao south to Chen Yanzheng, and sent a thousand people to escort him.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves began to sound in the direction of the slope, getting louder and closer.

By the light of the fire, Liu Renzhen saw a black cavalry stop at the bottom of the slope, and after a shout, he immediately split into two groups and went left and right.

Liu Renzhen understood that they wanted to surround themselves.

didn't have time to think about it, Liu Renzhen also ordered the army to divide two thousand people on the left and right to go to the two wings.

At this time, the cavalry under the slope began to retreat.

Liu Renzhen knew that this was by no means a retreat, but a preparation for the Liao army to charge.

Sure enough, after a breath, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, a large group of cavalry rushed towards the slope, but what the Liao army did not expect was that there were mines planted on the slope that could make them go to the sky.

In a series of explosions, most of the cavalry of the Liao army that rushed uphill had been lost, and the few remaining dozens of cavalry were spinning in place, and they could not advance. Neither is it a retreat.

At this time, the explosion of grenades was also heard on the left and right.

At this time, after a whistle. The Liao army began to retreat at the bottom of the slope, and then, people from the left and right sides also sent people to report that the Liao army retreated.

Liu Renzhen was overjoyed in his heart, if the Liao army really retreated, he could lead the army back to Yanyun.

In order to prevent accidents, Liu Renzhen sent several scouts to the south.

After counting the breaths. A scout came back to report that the road to the south had been sealed by a large group of Liao cavalry.

Liu Renzhen secretly said in his heart that it was not good, although now he has rescued Bian Hao. But the reason for the death of the army of Bian Ho is not known, and now his army is surrounded, and this time it is close to Dading Mansion, if it is once dawn. The consequences are unimaginable.

Thereupon. Liu Renzhen hurriedly ordered the whole army to break through to the south, and the rear team became the front team, and if it was blocked, it opened the way with grenades. And left 500 Ming soldiers on the slope to break behind.

The Ming army then broke through to the south, and after traveling several miles south, it encountered the encircled Liao cavalry, and the Ming soldiers threw a series of grenades. Explode a passage and break out of the encirclement.

And at this time. The violent mine explosion in the rear of the Ming army sounded again, and Liu Renzhen knew that the Liao army saw that the Ming army broke through and wanted to pursue it from behind, but it was blown up by the mine again.

Rushing all the way, but the Liao cavalry clenched on, although it was frightened by the grenade, but it always circled around the Ming army, and sometimes, it ran to the front of the Ming army to block, but as long as the Ming army threw a grenade, the Liao army quickly fled.

Stop-and-go, the sky began to dawn.

In front of him is the Luan River, as long as the Luan River is crossed, the Liao cavalry will not be able to catch up with him, and Liu Renzhen has hope in his heart.

At this time, the Liao cavalry that followed all the way appeared on both sides of the Ming army.

The most fatal thing was that the Liao cavalry on both sides began to close, blocking the return of the Ming army.

But Liu Renzhen did not despair, he thought that with the power of the grenade, while the Liao army was not firmly established, the Ming army launched a surprise attack, and perhaps it could break through the encirclement.

To deal with emergencies on the battlefield, only by relying on the perception of the boss, a single thought can either live or die.

Therefore, Liu Renzhen ordered the whole Ming army to use grenades as spears and assault in the direction of the Luan River.

As soon as the order was given, the Ming military turned around and prepared for a surprise attack.

I only heard the rumbling vibration of the earth behind me, and the sound of horses' hooves was stirred up in an instant.

Liu Renzhen looked back and saw that the cavalry in the distance was rushing towards the Ming army, and this group of cavalry was obviously different from the previous Liao cavalry, because they were, iron cavalry.

Liu Renzhen has been in the army all his life, and he still has this knowledge.

When he was in a hurry, Liu Renzhen quickly ordered the rear team to turn to the broken back, and the front team continued to break through.

More than 8,000 Ming troops quickly divided into two divisions, one to break through to the south and the other to block the attack in the north.

There was not a single person in the Ming army in the north who did not understand that this was a point of no return.

With infantry against cavalry, thousands against tens of thousands, and even rangers on both sides, this kind of despair can instantly destroy the fighting spirit of an army, and can also make an army fight against the odds and arouse infinite fighting spirit.

And the Ming army in the north clearly belonged to the latter.

The distance was already only three miles, and the Ming soldiers were not defensive, but counter-charged, the time of contact between the two sides was more rapid, and in a blink of an eye, the Ming infantry at the front was like a mud ox into the sea, drowning in the sea of people of the Liao army's iron cavalry.

But at this time, a series of explosions sounded, and the Liao army's iron cavalry forward was chaotic, but only for a moment, it resumed its forward momentum, so the successive Ming army tide once again took advantage of this short moment to rush into the iron cavalry flow, and the explosion sounded non-stop.

Every soldier who led Liu Rengen to break through to the south knew what the explosion meant, and tears rolled in his eyes, how it was difficult to suppress it from falling.

Finally, some soldiers couldn't help but roar and reflexively rushed north, even if they died, they had to face north and die with everyone.

If there is one, there will be two, then seven or eight, and then there will be groups.

Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Renzhen hurriedly shouted: "Don't turn back, don't turn back, violators will be killed." ”

Liu Renzhen's dozens of guards also hurriedly repeated the order.

But when there was such a noise, some people heard it, and even if they did, they pretended not to hear.

The soldiers now have only one thought on their minds, and that is to die with their comrades.

Liu Ren took out his war knife with a snort, raised it high, and sighed, after all, he couldn't cut it.

If you go back, you will die, but if you don't go back, will you be able to live?

Liu Renzhen led less than 2,000 Ming soldiers who did not turn back to the north, and once again accelerated their speed and attacked south.

Less than two miles away from the bank of the Luan River, it collided head-on with the Liao army rangers.

The rain of arrows killed at least half of the Ming army, and even Liu Renzhen's personal guards were only eleven left.

But the living Ming army quickly approached within ten zhang of the Liao army rangers, and in an instant, thousands of grenades smashed into the Liao army rangers.

The rangers are no better than the iron cavalry to resist the explosive power of the grenade, a large number of Liao troops were blown down, ten zhang distance is not close, said far is not far, in a breath, more than a thousand Ming troops broke through the barrier of the Liao army on the shore and came to the shore.

A few days ago, most of the ships left on the shore of the Ming army crossing the river north had been destroyed by the Liao army, and there were few ships left, which was not enough for more than 1,000 Ming troops to retreat at the same time. (To be continued......)
