"Run! It's horrible! Come on! ”

The mandarin duck soldiers of the front team collapsed, not defeated by the officers and soldiers, but frightened back by this terrifying scene.

The panic spread rapidly, and the soldiers of the rear team were recoiled by the soldiers of the front team, and they were so frightened that they also turned around and ran, after all, the Li Jiashan rebels were still tenants in the fields twenty days ago, and they did not go through the real battle formation, and they only knew that they had been defeated at this moment.

Wang Zhong cut down two routs who took the lead in escaping, but to no avail, so he had to be coerced by the chaotic army and retreated to the cottage.

The officers and soldiers who were forced to retreat by the strange military formation of thieves were also shocked, and looked at Liu Zhongwu, the garrison of Xin'an, at a loss.

Liu Zhongwu was also very surprised, nearly thirty percent of the officers and soldiers under his command died under the attack of the thieves, and he was ready to retreat, but the thieves on the opposite side actually dropped their weapons and retreated.

This sudden change made him wonder, what was going on with this gang of thieves, obviously they didn't kill a few people, could it be to lure the enemy?

"Liu Shoubei, the thief leader seems to be slashing and killing a few thieves." A sharp-eyed flag pointed at Wang Zhong, who was being dragged back by the chaotic army, and exclaimed.

"Okay, this gang of thieves is estimated to be a chick who has not experienced a real battle formation, so chase after Lao Tzu." Looking at a few thieves who fell in a pool of blood not far away, Liu Zhongwu immediately made a decision, waved his long knife, and chased after Wang Zhong in the direction of Wang Zhong's retreat with the official army.

"Run, the officers and soldiers are coming!" The pursuit of the officers and soldiers made the Li Jiashan rebels even more frightened, and they ran forward one by one, at this moment they just wanted to escape back to the cottage, as for whether the wall could block the attack of the officials and soldiers, they didn't want to care at all.

One after another, the Lijiashan rebels were shot by the archers of the official army, and then stabbed to the ground by the pikemen who followed closely.

It stands to reason that this great victory of the officers and troops was precisely when they drove this group of routs to attack the defense line arranged by the thieves at the eastern foot of Lijia Mountain, so as to receive Liu Guangyong's brigade up the mountain.

However, there are only more than 60 people left in the official army, and there is no way to suppress the defeated soldiers in front of them to change the escape route, and give up this group of thieves and attack the defense line set up by the thieves in the east, but Liu Zhongwu does not dare, if this group of thieves regains their strength, the lives of his dozens of brothers will be lost.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhongwu decided that he should first suppress the thieves in front of him and break the Li family village, and then make a plan.

The movement in the back mountain apparently attracted the attention of Li Xingzhi and Liu Guangyong.

Almost at the same time, the officers and troops of Dongshan once again roared and pressed towards the defense line of Lijiashan, and Liu Guangyong raised his arms and shouted: "Liu Garrison has succeeded, brothers kill Lao Tzu, and those who have the head of Li Rebellion will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." ”

There are officers and troops in front of the mountain and behind the mountain, and the situation of the Li Jiashan Righteous Army is precarious.

"Li Rui, the owner of the village here is handed over to you, be sure to resist Lao Tzu, Zhang Shaoqian, you take someone to support the cottage with the owner of the village." With a wave of Li Xingzhi's long knife, he beckoned more than a dozen bird gunners and three soldiers around him to rush towards the cottage.

"Scatter bullets! Fire! ”

The owner of the village led people to support the back village, and his own troops were insufficient, so Li Rui had to order the use of loose bullets that had never been used since the beginning of the war.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The three tiger squatting cannons were ignited one after another, and hundreds of cannons were suddenly sprayed out from the muzzles, and a barrage suddenly formed in front of the Lijiashan defense line.

The officers and soldiers who recharged fell under the dense fire, and the remaining dozens of musketeers and archers were also firing desperately.

Although the officers and troops were numerous, the trenches and sharp piles, together with the constant spray of cannons, rolling logs and rocks, still made it difficult for them to advance half a step.

Liu Guangyong knew that he had to make a breakthrough at this moment, otherwise Liu Zhongwu's troops who attacked the thief's cottage would become a lone army, and in the face of the thief's defense, Liu Guangyong had to gather all the long-range soldiers and shoot at a mud wall to cover the sword and shield soldiers in front of the formation to pull out the stakes and break through the trench.

The deployment of the officers and troops was very effective, and although the ranged soldiers and sword and shield soldiers were left with corpses under the fire of scattered bullets and firearms, they succeeded in suppressing the thieves who threw rolling logs and throwing stones.

Without the rolling logs and stones, the sword and shield soldiers of the officers and soldiers only felt a loosening in front of them, and once again braved the artillery fire and rushed towards the trench.

Yang Biao on the southern line also discovered the abnormality of the eastern line of Lijiashan, where could he still take care of Huang Wenchang's department in front of him, and ordered more than 100 soldiers on the spot, and they immediately supported Li Rui.

Yang Biao was also gambling, betting that the officers and soldiers in front of him who were waving flags and shouting would not attack Lijiashan.

As Yang Biao expected, Huang Wenchang never thought about taking the initiative to attack, and Zhang Da, the Gaoyang garrison, told Huang Wenchang that when he could beat the water dog now, he was slapped twice by the guerrilla adult.

Just kidding, now attacking the mountain, if Li Xingzhi's dog's day has nowhere to escape, falls into the hands of Lu Liangzhi, and shakes out the collusion between himself and him, isn't it digging his own grave?

At this time, the guerrilla general was eager for Li Xingzhi to escape from his defense area, so it was impossible to say that the general would cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and he would never suffer in the future

At the foot of the mountain, there were shouts of killing, cannons, and screams.

When Li Xingzhi rushed to the cottage with people, Liu Zhongwu had already broken the gate of the cottage, and Wang Zhongbu, who had lost his courage, had retreated to Juyitang, but fortunately, the gate of the village had delayed the offensive speed of the official army, and this would have been rearranged under Wang Zhong's order, but everyone was pale, and the hand holding the gun kept trembling.

"Kill Lao Tzu!"

Liu Zhongwu shouted, although this gang of thieves is more than his own, but obviously has no courage to fight, if he doesn't attack now, let alone when.

Just when Liu Zhongwu's troops were advancing in columns, a series of bird-gun sounds sounded in the rear of the official army, and the officers and soldiers who were rushing and beating wildly were shot and killed by bird-guns at all.

Liu Zhongwu was shocked, quickly stopped his figure, turned his head to look, and saw a group of thieves rushing over with the strange formation just now, led by Zhang Shaoqian, a hundred households of the official army, and a young man.

"It's not good, get out of here!"

Liu Zhongwu was shocked, turned his head and shouted at the soldiers under his command to retreat, this will Liu Zhongwu's intestines are repentant, this gang of thieves is too ruthless, in order to lure themselves into the bait, they even killed their own people.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Shicai's gang of thieves was really defeated, but they delayed the speed of the official army's advance, and Liu Zhongwu's wrong judgment, wasting the best time to attack.

However, now that the retreat is too late, the arrival of reinforcements has restored the morale of Wang Zhong's rebels a little, and this will also rush out of Juyi Hall.

The back road is blocked, there are thieves in front, and Liu Zhongwu is already a turtle in the urn.

Zhang Shaoqian pointed out, Li Xingzhi naturally knew who the leader of this group of officers and soldiers was, and immediately came out with Zhang Shaoqian, and said coldly: "Liu Shoubei, if your army doesn't lay down its weapons, then don't blame the owner of the village for not being merciful." ”

With a wave of his hand, the three mandarin duck soldiers poured into the cottage, forming a small three-talent formation around Li Xingzhi, and the bird gunners also reloaded their ammunition, and through the gaps in the three-talent array, they raised their guns against the remaining officers and soldiers.
