Noticing that the Ming army in the south began to change its formation from attack to defense, Xu Ping commented: "When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic." ”

Tanma reported that the Ming army in the north was approaching here, and Xu Ping made the same decision as Ji Xinghui just now, pointing to the Ming army in front and saying: "Defeat this one first, and then turn around to face it." ”

The command is still in the hands of Liu Yixuan, Xu Ping asked him to carry out a diversion battle, so that the Ming army can quickly break away, and he himself wants to go to the east to see what is going on with the sharpshooter battalion, and when he left the avenue with the guards, Xu Ping said to the staff officer: "If there are no such guys in the sky, maybe I will be more cautious, but I am now sure that the Ming army in the north can immediately know that their friendly troops in the south have withdrawn, I guess this will make them hesitate, even if it is good for a moment." ”

At first, Xu Ping thought that the sharpshooter battalion was only a few miles behind his own leader, and would quickly catch up with the tail of the sniper battalion to form a continuous column, but they went the wrong way, and later encountered a pond and had to go around, and as a result, they deviated from the predetermined march route, which did not delay them for long, but still led to the loss of a connection between the two battalions. Moreover, in order to catch up with the time, the sharpshooter battalion also had to separate the troops, and the two infantry wings each looked for a road for the large army to pass through, and two horse-drawn wagons with guns were stuck in the rice fields for a long time before being dragged out.

Xu Ping ran horizontally in front of the column of the sharpshooter battalion, gave direct orders to each of the leading officers he encountered, pointed out the new target to them, and randomly adjusted the direction of each team and began to attack and advance. After giving the order to the front troops, Xu Ping ran to the rear again, and his staff officers also scattered to help him coordinate the whole army.

Above Ji Xinghui's head, the air force flag bearer who is here is still waving the flag frantically, the flag bearer has not rested for more than an hour, and has always passed on a lot of news at the fastest speed, and now he is so tired that he can't raise his arms. But the situation has never been so urgent as it is now, the newly arrived Shun army support has approached the front of the Ming army, thousands of Shun troops have spread out into an attack fan, and the nearest detachment of the two armies has already engaged fire.

"Don't they know when I don't?" Ji Xinghui angrily drove away a staff officer who came up to report the air force flag, in his opinion, there was no need for the air force's intelligence now, the alarm of encountering the enemy sounded everywhere, and the nearest Shun army backup had appeared within his naked eye.

The Shun army, which rushed down from the hillside to launch a counterattack, slowed down the retreat of the Ming army, and the artillery that began to retreat was squeezed by the infantry behind them, and they needed a little time to rearrange, but Ji Xinghui felt that he was running out of time. Retreating under heavy pressure was one of the most difficult of all tactical maneuvers, and just as Ji Xinghui was trying to adjust his troops, the sound of gunfire came from farther south. The thirst in Ji Xinghui's throat became heavier, this avenue was the main passage for thousands of officers and soldiers to fight and retreat, and if the battle took place on the avenue, the battle situation would become more treacherous and unpredictable.

Ji Xinghui couldn't help but look up at the balloon again, hoping that the air force could tell him how fierce the fighting in the south was, which was invisible to the naked eye, but the air force was reporting the police in another place, so Ji Xinghui ordered the staff officers to let them take the initiative to ask. Just as the staff officer was waving the flag to the balloon, not far from the northeast, another group of Shun troops jumped out from behind the hills and drove towards the Ming army.

Although he knew that this Shun army was coming, Ji Xinghui had expected them to turn to reinforce Shanbao at the last moment, but apparently this Shun army did not hesitate at all, and directly entered the battlefield and began to exchange fire with the nearest Ming army - and this army was the second wave of covering troops that Ji Xinghui intended to use for alternate retreats.

After the Ming army, which had been planned to alternately cover for the Ming army, had to fight the enemy forces in front of him for his own survival, Ji Xinghui found that he could not continue and fight and retreat, and the battle pinned all the units of the Ming army to their current positions.

Cold sweat slipped from Ji Xinghui's forehead, and at present, it seems that the best way for the army is to shrink into a ring defense, and the Shun army that attacked the Ming army from the north and east is about four or five thousand people, which is equivalent to the strength of the troops under Ji Xinghui's jurisdiction, and the firm defense can hold on to the Shun army for a while without defeat. The balloon just said that there is also a wing of the Shun army to the southeast, Ji Xinghui feels that they are very likely to complete the detour to their own flank, but they will undoubtedly need a while, during this time the Ming army can form a defensive circle, and Ji Xinghui also has the cavalry directly under the division in his hands, and if it is used, it can also interfere with the detour of the Shun army, at least it can delay the speed of the Shun army; Or it is used to counter the attack of the Shun army, to ensure that the infantry can complete the formation adjustment of the defensive circle.

In this way, even if it is detoured, it can hold on and wait for the last regiment of the Chengcheng Division to relieve the siege (Ji Xinghui already knows that the counterattack of the 41st Regiment was defeated by the 16th Infantry Wing of the Shun Army), or the troops directly under the army in the north can go south to flank and open the way to the north for Ji Xinghui.

However, Ji Xinghui was not sure when the liberation of the siege from the north and south would begin, and he was not sure that they would be successful, and the western forces of the Shun army, which had already defeated the main force of the 41st Regiment, might not pursue it bravely if they did not pursue annihilation, and Ji Xinghui realized that they were likely to turn around and advance eastward to help the Shun army consolidate the encirclement.

And Ji Xinghui also thought that other officers and soldiers could surrender, Xu Ping has always been good to the prisoners, but only he, the commander, can not surrender, Xu Ping hated the Northern Alliance to the core, at the beginning, they harmed the people in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and at the same time, they had always killed the Shun army and their families. Ji Xinghui's cronies and subordinate officers also had similar concerns, and these people who had participated in the Northern Alliance did not dare to expect Xu Ping to treat them well.

The officers of the New Army beside Huang Naiming no longer have any psychological pressure on them to escape, anyway, since Yang Zhiyuan's death, they have not escaped in front of Xu Ping once or twice, as for Ji Xinghui, there is no such psychological pressure, he and Wang Qinian have to add the number of escapes in the Northern Alliance, not to mention that both of them have surrendered to Xu Ping.

In the anxious eyes of the officers of his cronies, Ji Xinghui did not choose what seemed to be the best way for the army at the moment: "Infantry hold on!" Ji Xinghui ordered, and then said: "The cavalry and the general break through!" ”

Hundreds of horsemen shouted and rushed down the crowded avenue, galloping across the dark ground, Ji Xinghui's guards skillfully throwing down their banners to reduce their targets, and the skilled officers galloping their horses while reaching out to tear off the rank on their shoulders, the officer's hat on their heads, and all the other signs that made them stand out.

The cavalry rolled past the columns of the Ming infantry, and the noise they made made that many of the soldiers who were still fighting forgot to shoot, and looked back blankly—the flags of authority were thrown to the ground without mercy, and were trampled deep into the earth by countless horses' hooves. The strange scene in front of them made the Ming soldiers even more dazed, and many of them suddenly forgot the enemy in front of them, and just stared blankly at the smoke and dust raised by these cavalry, watching them disappear.

"Coward!" The commander of the 42nd Regiment scolded, spewing a pile of expletives towards the back of this group of cavalry, just now he resolutely opposed retreating to revitalize the formation, and also used "the brave wins when the narrow road meets" to beg Ji Xinghui to continue the attack, and when it comes to emotion, he also said that he volunteered to lead the white-knuckle charge, and won a first-line opportunity to capture the mountain bag before the Shun army's support arrived. But in the end, it was vetoed by Ji Xinghui, and it didn't take long for the Ming army to start retreating before it was pinned by the pursuit of the Shun army, and the regiment commander just jumped off his horse and went to the front line to observe the enemy situation in person, and when he turned around, only the back of the deputy division commander remained.

"I also spent all day and night in the fire camp with Lao Tzu blowing something!" When we got along before, Ji Xinghui always introduced his glorious history to these officers, and his own story can be told from the Battle of Fuzhou in Huangshi - at that time, Ji Xinghui was still a small soldier who ate chaff and vegetables with General Huang, fighting bravely for an acre of land and a cow on the books, accumulating merit to the general and thousands of generals, and at that time, his most wonderful dream would never appear in Chongzhen's real wife and beautiful family and Liangtian compound three years later; Ji Xinghui said it very funny, and the story itself was so impassioned that the officers of the honest division were fascinated by it: "Is there a coward like you in the fire battalion?" ”

After scolding a few more times, the regiment commander recalled what he had learned in the military academy and ordered loudly: "The whole army has formed a defensive circle, don't retreat the artillery, put it down for Lao Tzu and fight back!" ”

However, this brave order was not fully carried out, and after the cavalry unit left the battlefield, a sudden reactive artilleryman suddenly jumped up, drew his knife and cut the rope of the artillery carriage behind a military horse, and then jumped on the military horse, which was not even equipped with a saddle, and struck the knife as a horsewhip. Today, the gunner, who had braved the bloody battle of the Shun army's artillery on the front line, and had also protected the artillery regardless of the lead bullets of the pursuing Shun army, held his horse's neck with both hands and chased after the back of the cavalry troops.

Under the leadership of this example, the other artillerymen also scrambled to grab the horses, and the cannons were pushed to the ground, regardless of whether they could ride horses or not, regardless of whether they could control the mounts without saddles and bridles, and the artillerymen left their weapons one after another. Then they were joined by a number of infantry—many of the soldiers who had looked back at the commotion of the cavalry never looked back, but ran backwards away from the column and rushed south into the wilderness.

Seeing that the Ming army was scattered, the Shun army began to stride forward, entered a close range and began to exchange fire, and after two volleys, some of the enemy formations in front of the Shun army met were scattered, so they changed to bayonets and launched a charge.

The column of the Ming army was divided by the Shun army that rushed over, and was soon cut into several sections, and then there was a loud shout behind them, it was more than 200 cavalry of the first cavalry wing of the Shun army, they just saw a large number of Ming troops in strict formation, so they hid far away, and found that after the Ming army began to fall into chaos, their captain Liu Ran led the team to rush over, and there were scattered and wild evacuation enemy soldiers everywhere in front of them.

"Descend early!"

"Descend early!"

"Drop a fart early!" The commander of the 42nd Regiment was still struggling to support himself, and although he had lost control of most of his subordinates, and the only people left to command the team were cut into sections, he still disdained the persuasion from all sides. The regiment commander fired at the opposite Shun army column with his handcuff in the east, and the staff officers of the 42nd Regiment had already drawn their handcuffs or swords, and they suffered heavy casualties in the oncoming rain of rifle bullets, and the regiment commander scolded angrily while loading the handcuffs: "If Lao Tzu can still go back alive today, he must sue the old thief Ji to the military court!" ”

……

After Ji Xinghui led the cavalry around his infantry column, he re-stepped on the official road and continued to run wildly along the way he came, the killing shouts from behind his ears gradually became blurred, and when Ji Xinghui threw the sound of guns and cannons miles away, he bypassed the small hill in front of him, and an army dressed in black appeared in front of him. Ji Xinghui did not hesitate to clamp the horse's belly, and without thinking about it, he galloped down the avenue again, and rushed into the paddy field in front of him at a gallop.

This was another infantry wing of the Marksman Battalion, and as soon as they walked on the avenue, they suddenly saw the Ming cavalry rushing out of the avenue, and they were taken aback, and the officers of the Shun army ordered to prepare for engagement. The Shun soldiers in the front row immediately crouched on the ground and pointed their bayonets diagonally to the sky, while their companions behind them stood up, stood firm, and lowered the rifles they were carrying on their shoulders.

After the first few Ming cavalry swept in front of them, the officers and soldiers of Shun heard countless horses' hooves coming like a storm, and the ground seemed to tremble because of this. Realizing the sudden encounter with the cavalry of the enemy brigade, the officers of the Shun army quickly raised the alarm, and to the south were a large number of soldiers of the sharpshooter battalion who were on the orders of Xu Ping, and the officers shouted the order to stop immediately, and the leftmost column began to rotate to the north.

Almost at the same time as the team finished spinning, the subsequent Ming cavalry rushed out from behind the hills that blocked the view, and the Shun army on the opposite side began the first salvo at the same time. After the shooting, the group of Shun soldiers began to reload their ammunition, and the enemy in front of them did not rush up to fight, but followed the footsteps of their predecessors and ran down the official road and swept past the side of the Shun army.

It was too late, that time was fast, Ji Xinghui had now run over more than half of the infantry wing of the Shun army, he held the reins of the horse with both hands, hunched over the horse's back, and on the side was the neat column of the Shun army standing on the avenue...... No, it's not very neat yet, and some of the Shun troops are still walking on the avenue and have not yet paralleled their friendly neighbors. As if inspecting the army, Ji Xinghui hurried past these Shunjun soldiers, and he saw more and more Shun soldiers in the front row taking their rifles off their shoulders and flattening them in his direction.

The sound of gunfire rang out from his side, but the people who fell from his horse were far behind Ji Xinghui, and by this time he had already rushed to the end of the Shun army's column, and he jumped up the ridge of his horse, carefully maneuvering his mount around a canal that crossed in front of him. The column of the Shun army had been left behind, and after running forward for a while, Ji Xinghui's mount once again stepped onto the solid road, and the gunfire behind him was gradually forgotten once again - there would be no more Shun troops in front of him.

The cavalry that followed closely behind Ji Xinghui, except for some who were particularly unlucky, most of them rushed out of the paddy field. But as more cavalry rushed down the road, they were less fortunate than their companions in front.

The Shun army on the side fired their guns in rows and rows towards the Ming cavalry on the official road, more and more people fell off their horses, the wounded war horses rolled on the ground and struggled to the death, and the panicked war horses stepped into the puddle and fell into the mud.

In the middle of the Shun army column, a recruit of the Shun army who went to the battlefield for the first time held his rifle tightly and stood behind the veterans in the front row with a serious expression.

But they were stunned by the battle before them, and the enemy was beaten to their backs in front of the column, but the recruit did not see any of the enemy horsemen draw their sabers, nor did he see the veterans in the front row crouching down and preparing for battle with bayonets—this was obviously mentioned in the training, but at this time the veterans who were the most experienced enough to fight in the front row did not make any defensive moves in the face of the enemy who were close at hand, but shot round after round.

And the veterans in the front row didn't seem nervous at all, and some even began to smile, and an officer standing in front of this soldier suddenly looked back at the recruits, stretched out his hand and beckoned: "Come, you guys come and shoot twice." ”

The recruit and his companions in the last row walked to the front row with stiff faces, and as the officer gave the order, they all raised their guns, closed one eye and aimed ahead, the rows of muskets were as dense as a forest, and the muzzles of countless black holes pointed straight at the Ming cavalry who were struggling to advance.

"Fire!"

The soldier fired the first shot, and then meticulously reloaded and reloaded the gun, and the officer had no intention of urging, and only after they had finished most of them did he shout again:

"Fire!"

……

The smoke cleared, and the Ming cavalry, who had fallen but were not seriously wounded, raised their hands and surrendered.

Looking at the dying war horses everywhere, the veterans in the sharpshooter camp were all smiling: "There is barbecue again." ”

"Keep going!" The officer shouted an order: "Turn left!" ”

The soldiers turned neatly and faced south again.

"Is this what war looks like?" The recruit's face was both excited and slightly confused.

"When I first went into battle, it wasn't that simple." The veteran beside him smiled: "But one thing is true, we are the Immortal Army, whether it is Huma outside the Saiwai or the minions of the imperial court, we always flee in front of us. Well, it's not just under the general, it's been like this since the time of the general. ”

The drums sounded, the Shun army marched forward, many recruits were still immersed in the excitement of firing at the real enemy for the first time, just now the Ming cavalry did not show any desire to resist at all, and began a group of people blindly followed the people in front of them to break through, and were knocked down in front of the Shun army in large numbers; Later, some people tried to circle from the other side, but they were also knocked down by the Shun army like a target; There were also some scattered Ming cavalry scattered to the west, and the Shun army here had just made contact with the 16th Infantry Wing, and those cavalry did not run west long before they encountered a small detachment of the sniper battalion.

"These guys, that's it in Shanxi and Saiwai," a Shun soldier from Shaanxi said with a smile, he was Li Zicheng who joined the Shun army after the founding of Xi'an, followed Xu Ping's eastward expedition, went south, and then returned north: "At the beginning, the battle of Datong was even more spectacular than this, tens of thousands of cavalry from the north fled from us, and the general ordered to leave two gaps for them to run...... The cavalry of the Northern Captives ran in the middle, and we fought desperately with our guns on both sides, and I was so weak that I could hardly lift my gun in the end. ”

……

As soon as the sun passed overhead, Xu Ping had already changed his third war horse, and the fourteenth town of Nanming was no longer a threat: its forty-first regiment was severely damaged, and the remnants were expelled from the battlefield; The 42nd Regiment was annihilated, the regiment commander was seriously injured and captured, Xu Ping ordered him to be treated well, and he must be rescued (Xu Ping heard the captured staff officer say: Their regiment commander scolded Ji Xinghui more than once before being shot, and threatened to go back to sue him for escaping from the battle, so that he would be punished by Ming Zheng. ）; The combat units directly under the Fourteen Towns were all defeated, and Ji Xinghui fled to Zhejiang without even returning the division headquarters; Chief Officer Zhao Ning was retreating south with the only remaining regiment of troops, having had to give up his two previous transfers of division headquarters due to pressure from the sniper battalion.

After defeating a large number of Ming troops in the south, Xu Ping came to apologize in front of everyone Liu Yixuan: If he can help him create such a fighter plane and achieve such a result every time he disobeys orders, then he will be forgiven every time.

In the north, Wang Qinian obviously did not expect the friendly forces in the south to collapse so quickly, and until Ji Xinghui fled from the battle, he was still hurrying to try to flank the Shun army. After discovering that the friendly army had collapsed, Wang Qinian was already very close to the position of the Shun army, although he immediately tried to retreat, but he was immediately stuck by Liu Zongmin's cavalry, and was caught up by the Shun infantry within a few miles of withdrawal. After discovering that he was in danger of being detoured from both flanks, Wang Qinian made the same choice as Ji Xinghui - to abandon the army and abscond, and the directly subordinate combat units of the Seventh Army and the patchwork mobile forces were defeated after losing command. Under Liu Zongmin's rapid pursuit, Commander Li also had to abandon his command (Wang Qinian did not return to the military headquarters of the Seventh Army but led the cavalry directly under him to break through on his own, and at that time, in addition to the cooks and storekeepers, the rest of Commander Li was a military doctor, a veterinarian and the like. He didn't even have a chance to lead the army to the north to join the public servant division, so he had to flee to the west in a panic.

Although Liu Zongmin's report to Xu Ping did not go into details, it said that the materials seized from the military headquarters of the Seventh Army were extremely considerable, and that Commander Li did not even order the baggage to be burned before fleeing.

"King Xiang won a hundred battles, and used his edge lightly, and the king of Han raised his full front, and it was decided in one battle." Although the situation seems to be very good, Xu Ping's mind is always circling this sentence, the Ming army on the opposite side is a new army with no actual combat experience, according to common sense, this should be a vulnerable rabble. Xu Ping dared to say that if he built a battalion head composed of pure recruits and even new officers with no veterans at all, it would definitely be completely ineffective. However, the performance of the Ming army was completely different, for example, the only remaining 40 regiments of the Honest Division did not seem to be at a disadvantage when facing the attack of one wing of the Marksman Battalion, but it could also fight and retreat in the face of the attack of the main force of the Marksman Battalion.

Every battle, the veterans of the Shun army will be lost, the loss is Xu Ping for many years from the Quartet to collect, a little bit of exercise of the elite, Xu Ping knows that his military strength has been at the peak, since the Anqing War, although the number of troops has increased, but at most it is just to make up for the loss of elite veterans. But the Ming army has a huge potential for growth, just like the Constitutional Division in Chunhua, which has been fought in the past few months, although it has suffered a lot of losses in terms of numbers, but the officers and soldiers of the Constitutional Division who have been baptized by this long-term battle have given Xu Ping an extremely headache, and it is impossible for the Shun army to forcibly annihilate this division.

A group of Ming soldiers suddenly appeared on the avenue in front of them, this sudden incident interrupted Xu Ping's train of thought, after glancing at the number of people on the other side and the formation of the team, Xu Ping drew his sword and rushed up, his guards shouted loudly, and everyone rushed towards the Ming army with their swords in the air.

After seeing this piece of bright sword light, the Ming army scattered and fled with a shout, and Xu Ping did not pursue, but inserted the knife back into the sheath and continued to advance. Now the battlefield is still very chaotic, and the scattered troops of the Ming army are wandering around, looking for an opportunity to get out of the battlefield. Xu Ping had already encountered several such Ming stragglers along the way, and each time he used similar means to scare the other party away, and then continued his journey. The threat of these Ming stragglers is not great, most of them have even thrown away their weapons, Xu Ping has more important things to do, and the work of capturing these routs will be left to the battlefield clearance team to do.

In this reciprocating rush, many of Xu Ping's staff officers were tired and lay down, and they didn't have time to eat for a day. So Xu Ping asked these guards to take a break and hurry up to eat something, now there are only a dozen guards left around him, but he himself is unwilling to rest, he feels that every order he gives will determine the fate of many Shunjun soldiers, and making a mistake will lead to the death of many subordinates, so Xu Ping is still closer to the front line, the more reassuring he can be - the battlefield has been stretched very wide, and Xu Ping, who does not have a balloon, thinks that the possibility of his mistake continues to increase.

Just received a report from the Marksman Battalion, Zhao Ning, the chief officer of the Southern Ming Dynasty, is still trying to resist, and it seems that he has not given up his intention to gather stragglers near the battlefield, and the Marksman Battalion can only expel it with a force of about one and a half wings, and the remaining troops are still clearing the rout of the Ming army and protecting the baggage transportation.

This intention of the Ming army was annoying, and Xu Ping was unable to immediately transfer the battalion to the north, but he also saw an opportunity in it: if the enemy did not retreat quickly, he would have a chance to pin it and destroy it completely. For this reason, Xu Ping had just sent someone to inform Liu Zongmin and the sniper battalion to suspend their northward movement, and the cavalry was ready to go south; The sniper battalion should send a wing to clear the road and clear the route, so that the sharpshooter battalion can encircle and annihilate the last regiment of the 14th town of Nanming with all its might.

Originally, Xu Ping did not have this plan, and it seemed that it was a bit worth the loss to mobilize such a large number of troops and not immediately go north to attack the thirteenth town of the Southern Ming Dynasty in order to eliminate the remnants of the Ming army of several thousand. But the experience of fighting with the Constitution Division made Xu Ping change his attention, if the Ming army fled the battlefield early, he was not willing to waste time chasing it, but if a tenacious Ming army let go, it would probably be a new big trouble in the future - there are thousands of officers and soldiers who have fought hard and never retreated as the backbone, so the fourteenth town of Nanming who will come to the battlefield next time will not be as easy to fight as it is today. Now that the Fourteen Towns are few and far behind, they don't have much baggage, and most of them have been captured by the Shun army or burned by themselves when they transferred the division headquarters, Xu Ping feels that it will not pay too much price to eliminate them, and these will be the new troops of the Ming army on the battlefield next time.

"First of all, there is no doubt about the fourteenth town of Nanming, this is not in doubt," Xu Ping silently calculated the follow-up actions in his heart, he would personally go to the front line to take a look, and then judge how many troops need to be drawn from the north: "Then go north and Wang Taisun to attack the thirteenth town of Nanming, the back road and military camp of this town have been ended, there is not much food and grass available, and it is only in the evening to eliminate him." ”

The only thing to worry about is that Nanming is fleeing from this town, Xu Ping is thinking about its possible escape direction, whether it is to the west or north, he has not left a loophole for Yi Meng, it seems that it is basically a turtle in an urn.

"The only thing to guard against is that he is dead and the net is broken but he runs westward, hoping to flee to Nanjing," Xu Ping thinks that an army will not talk about any agreement when it is at the end of the road, Xu Ping in order to block the retreat of the thirteen towns of Nanming, the forward quickly outflanked in the northwest direction, even after ordering the sniper battalion to suspend the offensive just now, Xu Ping still emphasized that their attention should be on the northwest, not to let Yi Meng slip away from the mouth of the Shun army: "Or drop all unnecessary things and desperately go to Chunhua." ”

Xu Ping didn't have any troops left behind along the way, except for the troops he brought, the remaining three battalions were almost all used to monitor the Ming army in Chunhua and Longtan, Chen Zhe's troops were already stretched, Xu Ping silently thought in his heart: "I will send the second cavalry wing to monitor Huangchi in a while, in case they panic I can know immediately." ”

Surveillance rather than interception, although the baggage of the thirteenth town of Nanming was not enough for them to hold on for long, and the camp was not strong enough, Xu Ping still very much hoped that they would break through and annihilate them in the wilderness would save effort and time.

Looking farther away, Xu Ping remembered Zhou Dongtian's suggestion, this time he asked the latter to stay and help Chen Zhe, if Zhou Dongtian was there, Xu Ping believed that he would persuade him to divide his army to go south again. Qi Guogong's war potential seemed to be endless, and all the recruits sent to the battlefield were these long-trained recruits, and many prisoners said that a large number of soldiers would be trained in August.

When will it be a head? Xu Ping's mind sounded the sentence just now, "The King of Han raises his full front......"

"You can't let Qi Guogong go on any longer, and when the two towns of Nanming are eliminated, let the guard battalion and Liu Liangzuo's department go south, Zhejiang is now empty......" Xu Ping's train of thought was interrupted again, this time it was several messengers from the sniper battalion who rushed to meet him, and immediately Xu Ping's guards stepped forward to inquire and check the identity of the other party.

Although Xu Ping and the guards around him were wearing the same military uniform, the herald at the head recognized Xu Ping, he respectfully parked his horse in front of Xu Ping, led the other two to salute the commander, and then reported the military situation - the Ming army on the road had not been wiped out, and the number of guards around Xu Ping was declining, so he changed into the uniform of a cavalry officer.

Xu Ping, who was strangled the war horse, also recognized the other party, this was not the first time he had seen the messenger of this sniper battalion, after listening to the report, he nodded, the situation seemed to be not far from what was expected, but it was still necessary to go to the front line in person to have the most accurate judgment, Xu Ping stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Lead the way ahead, I will ...... this"

……

Zhong Yu was a soldier of the 41st Regiment of the 14th Division, after the regiment was dispersed, he wandered around with a small group of companions, and encountered the Shun army's clearance team several times on the way, and the companions ran less and less, either surrendering or being captured. In the end, Zhong Yu was left alone, but until this time Zhong Yu still did not drop his rifle, today's battle was too wretched, from beginning to end was in a hurry, and then he was defeated in a daze, Zhong Yu was famous for his marksmanship when he was in the training camp, but he had no chance to play today.

Reluctance to throw away his weapons is not that Zhong Yu thinks that this battle can be turned into victory, but that he feels that he can't go into battle and not let go of a single shot, but the Shun army's clearance team is never alone, and the heralds are also in groups of three.

Just now Zhong Yu was walking south on the side of the main road, the battle here has been over for a long time, and the search team of the Shun army is getting fewer and fewer, Zhong Yu is counting on finding a way home, and this wish is about to come true, he has already touched the side of the woods, once he gets into this forest, he is basically safe. After hearing the sound of horses' hooves just now, Zhong Yu hurriedly lay down and hid in the forest, he didn't want to be caught at the last moment before getting rid of the Shun army - although he heard that the Shun army was good to the prisoners, but wouldn't it be a few days of prison food? And who knows what it's like to catch your own enemies? Did a brother die on the battlefield?

Seeing those healthy horses galloping past him, Zhong Yu couldn't help but move the gun in his hand - he was about to run for his life, this was really the last chance to shoot.

As if God was taking care of it, the black-clothed cavalry stopped within the limit of what the rifle could aim at, and Zhong Yu saw an enemy cavalry saluting a black-legged knight who was obviously a high-ranking officer—from that meticulous movement, Zhong Yu could feel the solemnity of the enemy cavalry.

"Okay, that's him." Zhong Yu poked out the muzzle of his gun from the grass and stealthily aimed at the target—it was far away, but he had to shoot before leaving.

At the same time that the black commander stretched out his hand and pointed to the south, Zhong Yu pulled the trigger, and then he threw down his gun and ran wildly towards the depths of the dense forest, and his peripheral vision noticed that the knight of the Shun army was crooked, and he fell from his horse. As Zhong Yu scurried into the woods, he heard a loud commotion—it seemed that some people seemed very frightened, but it had nothing to do with him, neither his sight nor his voice was obscured by the dense woods behind Zhong Yu—and I finally fired a shot, as if I had hit a person, maybe a senior official, maybe a school official.
