Chapter 178: Defeat
"What shall we do?"
Gao Yingxiang was comfortable and comfortable, but when he thought that he and his brothers would face the same result, his face suddenly fell, and he didn't know what to do now, he just looked at Li Zicheng and asked casually.
"King Chuang, in the thirty-sixth camp, how is the eldest brother doing to our high-character camp?" Li Zicheng did not answer immediately, but asked a question.
Gao Yingxiang snorted coldly, a rather dissatisfied expression appeared on his face, the same as the People's Army, his Gaozi battalion was quite strong, and it was only slightly weaker than Zhang Xianzhong's Zhang Zi battalion before, but to a certain extent, it was suppressed by the leading eldest brother Wang for his own use, and the task was the most bitter and dangerous, and the division was poor or less, in order to take care of the overall situation, he chose to forbear, but his brothers were already secretly dissatisfied, Li Zicheng would mention this matter, which made him feel particularly annoyed.
"King Chuang, or ...... like this"
After Li Zicheng successfully aroused Gao Yingxiang and the leaders' strong dissatisfaction with the leading brother Wang for his own use, he said his intentions, since the leading brother did not treat us as brothers, and was left to be used as cannon fodder, we don't need to take our lives to cover them, thirty-six plans, slip into the upper plan, and drill into the deep mountains and old forests, although it is also a life of nine deaths, but there is still a glimmer of hope for survival, it is better than being caught by the official army.
The dense forests on both sides of the official road stretch to the sky, and there is no end in sight, in addition to the infestation of man-eating beasts and poisonous insects, there are natural traps such as stone pits and stone crevices, people get into it, even if they don't get lost and starve to death, they also become the delicacy of fierce beasts and poisonous insects, and the probability of survival is very low, but if everyone is together, there is still a glimmer of life, at least it is better than dying under the butcher's knife of the official army.
Of course, there is another way to live, that is, surrender, but others can, he Gao Yingxiang can't surrender, because he is one of the big leaders of the people's army, he is on the blacklist, and he is ranked first with the leading brother Wang Ziyong and others, even if he surrenders, the result is that his head moves.
"But......" Gao Yingxiang hesitated, he didn't even fight, and he ran away after helping the main force resist the pursuit of the official army, isn't this okay?
"King Chuang, otherwise, let the brothers in the rear camp protect their families and injured brothers and withdraw first."
Li Zicheng proposed again, and quietly breathed a big sigh of relief in his heart, he knew in his heart that Gao Yingxiang valued affection, talked about brotherly righteousness, and took into account the overall situation, but sometimes it was just a tendon, and it was difficult for the nine cows to pull it back, and if he wanted to retreat without fighting, he would definitely not be able to overcome this hurdle in his heart, so he had to take a compromise approach.
Gao Yingxiang nodded, if the dependents of the brothers fall into the hands of the officers and soldiers, the end is only afraid that it will be very miserable, and the injured brothers are not able to fight again, they should indeed retreat first, he immediately ordered, ordered the brothers in the rear battalion to take the baggage, and escort the injured brothers and dependents to retreat into the woods first, in order to avoid separation, leave a few brothers along the way, and make some secret notes, so that the retreating brothers can keep up, and then order the brothers who stayed behind to desperately cut down trees and block the road, as much as possible to slow down the attack of the Ming army, and buy more time for the main force.
After only cutting down the trees for a short while, Qin Liangyu's white-pole army killed from one side, and the musketeers lined up, and the musketeers were fired at the people's army, and the rows of people's troops screamed and fell, they wanted to rush up and fight hand-to-hand, but under the intensive platoon of guns, the charging people's troops fell one by one, even if they rushed closer, they were either blown away by the thunder, or they were stabbed out of bloody holes by the white-pole soldiers with white pole guns.
At this time, the people's army remembered that the white pole army was not famous for its muskets, but for the spear made of the white wax rod in its hand, and it was famous for its murder, and the chance of death was greater when it fought hand-to-hand with the white pole soldiers.
Although Gao Yingxiang hurriedly built three lines of defense, but under the white pole army's platoon of guns and the indiscriminate bombardment of thunder, the first line of defense was broken before it could be supported for long.
"King Chuang, retreat quickly." Li Zicheng grabbed Gao Yingxiang's arm and persuaded him, he was also a wounded, in the first list of retreats, but he did not retreat, but stayed, seeing that the attack of the white pole army was too ferocious, the so-called defense line was like a paper old tie, it would be broken as soon as it was hit, and he couldn't withstand the fierce attack of the white pole army at all, and it would really be finished if he didn't run away.
"You guys withdraw first, I'll cover and help me take care of Gui Ying." Gao Yingxiang roared, and pushed his niece Gao Guiying to Li Zicheng, although he was a bit old and rough as an uncle, he still saw this niece's mind and liked Li Zicheng a little, so he didn't entrust Gao Guiying to other brothers, but handed it over to Li Zicheng.
"Don't worry, King Chuang, I will take care of Sister Gui Ying."
This time, Li Zicheng did not refuse to retreat, and after leaving Gao Yingxiang with a few brothers with quite high force values, he dragged Gao Guiying into the dense forest, and soon disappeared into the vast forest.
"Brothers, hold on, hold on to me." Gao Yingxiang roared desperately to cheer up his brothers in front of the battle.
He personally commanded the front-line, and the guards around him were very nervous, and they propped up a thick wooden shield in front of him to prevent stray bullets and arrows. The large thick wooden shield really worked, blocking a lot of lead bullets, and the shield surface was pitted by the flying lead bullets.
The blue battle flag embroidered with high characters flutters in the wind, representing the position of the commander, the commander is the soul of the whole army, inspiring the soldiers of the whole army to fight bravely to kill the enemy, of course, the target is very conspicuous, and it is naturally targeted by the snipers of the hunter battalion.
Qin Liangyu's white pole army only has two groups of two-person snipers, which are a hundred times more precious than the national treasure-level giant panda, Qin Liangyu not only sent a small team of personal soldiers to escort them, but also usually brought them with him, and rarely let these two groups of snipers come to the front line to adventure.
However, in this pursuit battle, she personally came to the front line to command, and the two groups of golden snipers finally had a chance to make meritorious contributions, they hid behind the shield to shoot cold guns, sniping the small leaders of the people's army and the warriors with high personal combat power, and the two assistants who were responsible for observing and indicating the target saw the high-character battle flag fluttering in the wind through the monoculars, and searched carefully for a while, and finally found Gao Yingxiang wearing bright light battle armor.
Four snipers locked on Gao Yingxiang at the same time, and after counting five silently, they hooked the trigger at the same time, banged a gunshot, and was desperately roaring, Gao Yingxiang, who was motivating the morale of the generals, was shot, and he didn't even have time to scream, and immediately fell headlong, four lead bullets, three of which were fired in the face, the whole face was smashed, and he couldn't recognize anyone, and the other shot hit a guard next to him.
"Breaking the King......
All the guards were dumbfounded, and they were stunned for a long time before they reacted, and they screamed in unison, some picked up Gao Yingxiang's body and ran into the dense forest, and some wiped their tears and roared forward to kill, wanting to avenge King Gao Chuang, but soon fell on the way to charge.
The dragons have no leader, and the high-character battalion that lost its soul soon collapsed, some people ran back, some people drilled into the dense forest, and some people chose to lay down their weapons and surrender on their knees, not everyone is not afraid of death, and has the courage to challenge the primeval forest, when the captives are at most dragged to the mine to be miners, it is bitter, but at least their lives are saved.
