"General, Li Dingguo, they are ready to withdraw."

On the mountain of the vast mouth, a Lantian soldier said to Li Chaomeng, Li Chaomeng was gnawing on a steamed bun at this time, and after hearing this, he looked in the direction of Li Dingguo, and found that Li Dingguo and they were really preparing to leave, at this time the Lantian soldier said: "General, are we going to rush out and stop them?" ”

Li Chaomeng heard this: "Rush out, we plus the militia have less than 500 people, and it's no problem to stick to such a natural pass as Mandangkou, but if you want to stop Li Dingguo's troops of nearly 10,000 people, it's a bit of a fool's dream." ”

Hearing this, the Lantian soldier said, "General, what should I do then?" ”

Li Chaomeng sat back on the chair at this time and said: "It's okay, our goal has been achieved, here is dozens of miles away from the battlefield, Li Dingguo's cavalry only occupies a small part, even if he rushes back now, it will be useless, and when he rushes back, our affairs are estimated to have been completed." ”

Hearing this, the Lantian soldier said, "Then let's? ”

Li Chaomeng said: "Don't let your guard down, continue to guard here, our task today is to defend the mouth, the province will be attacked by this guy, and when the time comes, we will suffer a big loss." ”

Hearing this, the Lantian soldier nodded and said, "It's the general." ”

Li Chaomeng watched Li Dingguo integrate the army like this, Li Dingguo looked at Li Chaomeng at this time and found that Li Chaomeng had no intention of stopping him, his brows furrowed, and he didn't understand what medicine Li Chaomeng was selling in his gourd.

But since Li Chaomeng didn't stop himself, he didn't say anything, hurry up, it's not a matter to spend it here, thinking about Li Dingguo, he looked at Wang Jiadong and said, "Jiadong, are you all right?" ”

Wang Jiadong said: "Okay, it's been lit." ”

Li Dingguo jumped on the back of the horse at this time, stretched out his hand and said: "The whole army listens to the order and returns to the Tongqian Pass." ”

Hearing this, the cavalry followed Li Dingguo and left, but the infantry was unwilling, early in the morning they followed the troops from Tongqian Pass to Mandangkou, and they didn't take a breath here, you let us go back, are you a stupid boy here?

These rogues are full of complaints, the cavalry is good, ride a horse, and the Dada will come, and it is not difficult at all, but these people are infantry, and they have to carry dry food and weapons with them.

Thinking that someone deliberately slowed down, he was too tired to run, and the small movements of the infantry behind him also fell in Li Dingguo's eyes, Li Dingguo frowned and said: "At such a critical moment, how can you be so slack." ”

Wang Jiadong stopped Li Dingguo when he heard this: "Dingguo, don't worry, it's really tiring to let them toss back and forth this morning, for the sake of the generals, they can't use their strength to be strong, otherwise there will be changes." ”

Li Dingguo nodded when he heard this: "Reasonable, but we can't wait for them, the battlefield is changing rapidly, I have to go back quickly, otherwise I don't know what the consequences will be, so you stay and be responsible for leading these infantry, and I will lead the cavalry to the rescue." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiadong said: "I should be by your side as the deputy general." ”

Li Dingguo heard this and said: "I didn't say this at this time, I'll leave first, and the infantry will ask you." ”

After speaking, Li Dingguo ignored Wang Jiadong's reaction, and directly led the cavalry to frantically rush to the battlefield of Tongqian Pass.

……

"Quick, withdraw, withdraw."

Sun Kewang led a team of men and horses to retreat frantically to Zhuxi County, the defeat was like a mountain, the defense of this army was like a huge embankment, at first it was impregnable, but if there was a rout, it would trigger a chain reaction, as if there was a breach in the dam, and then it would spread to the surrounding area, and in the end it would collapse completely.

In addition to the elite troops, Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers are composed of some veteran oils, and some combat effectiveness, and the rest are all composed of homeless people, grass bandits, bandits, and ruffians.

These guys have a characteristic, that is, they fight against the wind, they are quite powerful, and their combat effectiveness is very exaggerated, but when they fight against the wind, they run faster than anyone else.

To put it bluntly, this is the standard rabble, the 30,000 people in the front army were educated by Lantian's artillery, and then there was a breach, and then the whole army went crazy, Sun Kewang did not choke the rout at the beginning, which led to a tear in the walled gate.

directly led the rout to his own Chinese army tent, and then the entire Chinese army was negatively affected by the rout, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu did not boost morale at this time and resisted the pressure from Lantian at this time, but ran away with people.

At this time, as soon as the Lantian formed troops came, the Chinese army was scattered in an instant, and if the army was scattered, it would be difficult to gather again.

So a magical scene was born, the 60,000-strong army of the Liukou Zhongjun was chased around by the Lantian Army of less than 20,000, just like a rabbit, and these Liukou could not organize any powerful resistance at all.

Li Dezhen and Shi Dalei were in a brigade at this time, chasing Sun Kewang.

"Driving ......"

The two groups of people are more energetic at this time, who can capture Sun Kewang alive must be the first merit of this battle, and then apply to the county for the right to use the new artillery with the first merit, then the probability of success is very high.

"Chase, don't let Sun Kewang run away, capture Sun Kewang alive!"

Shi Dalei shouted, at this time the cavalry was frantically pursuing, and Li Dezhen shouted on the side: "Brothers, work hard, capture Sun Kewang alive, and Lao Tzu will reward him with the gold-handled fire gun given to Lao Tzu by the county." ”

Listening to Li Dezhen's shout, everyone's eyes lit up, the gold-handled firecracker, this is Li Dezhen's baby, it was after Li Chaosheng took Li Chaohu and Shi Dalei into the Naturalization City, and after fighting with the Tartars, this battle allowed these two divisions to overwhelm Li Chaolong's division and Li Dezhen's two left-behind divisions with military merits.

Needless to say, Li Chaolong has steadily suppressed many division commanders with his qualifications, and he is also the first division left behind by Li Chaosheng, and he is the patron saint of Lantian, he has nothing to stay behind, and no one can say anything, but Li Dezhen is very uncomfortable.

In order to appease Li Dezhen's emotions, Li Chaosheng gave Li Dezhen one of the five gold-handled firearms made by the arsenal when the first batch of short-handed firearms in Lantian appeared, and encouraged Li Dezhen that he was like this gold-handled firecracker, gold will always shine.

Li Dezhen cherishes this gold-handled firearm very much, as his own treasure, usually reluctant to wear it, and puts it in his office for exhibition, at this time he is willing to take out this gold-handled firearm as a reward, which shows that this batch of artillery is more attractive to him.

When the subordinates heard this, their eyes turned red, and the gold-handled fire gun personally rewarded by the county lord was top-notch in terms of value and honor.

Just look at the value, the gold-handled firecracker, the handle of the firebolt is all made of real gold, it is said that more than a pound of gold is used, and then look at the honor is higher, the county is respectful, if this thing is placed in the Ming Dynasty, it is equivalent to the emperor's gift, that is a treasure.

With the colorful head of the gold-handled firearm, the soldiers of Li Dezhen's department screamed one by one, their eyes were red for murder, and they were even more energetic when they chased Sun Kewang.

When Shi Dalei saw that Li Dezhen even took out a gold-handled pistol, Shi Dalei roared at this time: "Damn, if anyone can catch Sun Kewang, Lao Tzu ......"

Speaking of this, Shi Dalei was a little speechless, he didn't seem to have anything valuable, and the county didn't reward him with anything too valuable over the years, no way, he led the troops to go out many times over the years, so what he got was some benefits, such as military equipment and equipment, such as preferential treatment in all aspects of military affairs.

and the promotion of status, you must know that Shi Dalei used to be the commander of the fourth division, and his status was ranked at the bottom of the four masters of Lantian, and the reason is very simple, the commanders of the other divisions are all surnamed Li, but he is not surnamed Li.

However, after the deliberate promotion of the county lord over the years, his military status has improved a lot, and his status has directly changed from the lowest ranked division commander to the top two division commanders in Lantian.

Now if Lantian wants to ask which division is powerful, the first is Li Chaohu, and the second is him Shi Dalei, Li Chaolong, as the main division of his clan guarding Lantian, does not enter the ranking, but Li Dezhen's division has no way to compare with him at all.

This is what the county has given to Shi Dalei over the years, Li Chaosheng is actually paying attention to the method of balance, Shi Dalei's position is not stable, Li Chaosheng asked him to fight more tough battles, and use military merits to stabilize his position and silence people who have opinions.

And Li Dezhen, who could have been able to convince the public, but because he wanted to let Shi Dalei's military exploits gain a foothold, he fought all the battles for Shi Dalei, so he could only be rewarded in terms of property and honor.

Otherwise, there will be big problems.

Shi Dalei found that he didn't have a treasure comparable to a golden-handled pistol to reward, but he also had his advantages, so he shouted: "Chase, you can't let Li Dezhen's department take the lead, capture Sun Kewang alive Lao Tzu will give him a great credit, and reward him with twenty taels of gold." ”

As soon as he heard this, the eyes of the soldiers of Shi Dalei's department were also red, and this is the step of promotion, the people who have made meritorious contributions to Lantian over the years, which one of them is very good, and there are twenty taels of gold, according to Lantian's exchange ratio, one tael of gold is ten silver dollars, and twenty taels of gold is two hundred silver dollars, and the military salary of a soldier is only five silver dollars a month.

That's the equivalent of 20 months' pay for a soldier.

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and under the encouragement of the two commanders, all the soldiers are like chicken blood, and Sun Kewang, who is chasing, is miserable.

Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu ran wildly, Sun Kewang looked at the Lantian soldiers who were screaming behind him and scolded: "Are these Lantian soldiers all crazy? Desperate to chase. ”

Liu Wenxiu shouted at this time: "Brother hold on a little longer, and he will soon be in the rear army." ”

Sun Kewang said: "Then hurry up." Drive, drive, drive. ”

The army was defeated like a mountain, a group of people fled frantically, and at this moment, there were already scouts who sent the news of the annihilation of the front army and the collapse of the Chinese army to the rear army, what did Zhang Xianzhong hear!

The 30,000 men of the front army were lost, and the 60,000 men of the Chinese army were scattered, and now they are actually attacking the camp of their rear army, which is worth it.

Zhang Xianzhong was a leader in the army, and he was also able to fight, and when he heard that Sun Kewang was fleeing back with people, he was immediately furious: "Waste, waste." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shouted at the top of his voice, followed by immediately shouted: "Block the gate of the village, do not allow anyone to approach the rear army village, if you dare to approach, there will be no mercy!" ”

Zhang Xianzhong is not an indecisive person, at this time immediately make the best arrangement, he can't let the defeated army scatter his rear army, and then it will not be as simple as defeat.

Zhang Xianzhong thought about giving an order, and the elite under Zhang Xianzhong's command immediately blocked the gate of the village, put the cannons on the rack, and all the archers prepared to aim at the gate of the village, as long as the situation was not right, they were ready to order archery to eliminate all those who dared to rush into the rear army village.

Zhang Xianzhong personally put on the battle, holding a long sword, came to the front to prepare to command the battle, at this time he saw the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, Sun Kewang fled frantically with a bunch of routs, and the muskets behind him, and Sun Kewang's army was holding his head and running away.

When Shi Dalei and Li Dezhen saw that Zhang Xianzhong's rear army tent was in front of them, they glanced at each other at this time and asked the adjutant behind them: "How far is the pursuit?" ”

At this time, the adjutant replied: "It has exceeded the ten miles stipulated by the county, nearly fifteen miles." ”

Hearing this, both of them calmed down, and the purpose of their battle was not to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong.

This battle can make Zhang Xianzhong hurt his muscles and bones, but he can't eliminate them, because Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are like the vanguard army in Lantian's military planning.

The most in the land of Daming are the local tyrants and inferior gentry, as well as various families, these families are intertwined, like cancer cells, spreading in the land of Daming, poisoning the ordinary people of Daming.

And Li Chaosheng wants to accept the body of Daming, and he can't just accept this body, regardless of the cancerous changes that are happening in this body, and Lantian can't be this executioner, so the heavy responsibility of getting rid of cancer cells and eliminating the family family is entrusted to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, these anti-thieves.

After all, when they conquered a place, what they liked to do most was to poison big families, destroy the family, and loot money, and Li Chaosheng didn't care about money.

Because no matter how much money is lost, it can be earned back again, what Li Chaosheng wants to grab is a piece of clean land, as long as the land is assigned to Lantian County, then Li Chaosheng can recruit displaced people, carry out land reform, and turn these places into Lantian.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng can't be killed, this is a consensus of the Lantian military, otherwise Lantian has had countless opportunities to completely destroy Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong over the years, but after they are destroyed, Li Chaosheng will have to face the pressure brought by the entire Ming Dynasty.

This is not what Li Chaosheng wants, Li Chaosheng doesn't want to bear the infamy of being too violent, after all, Li Chaosheng wants to be an emperor in the future, and he is the kind of emperor through the ages.

The infamy is still left to the Liukou, the Liukou scourge the Ming Dynasty, Li Chaosheng defeated the Liukou, Kuang Fu Sheji, and finally achieved a hegemony, this is the blueprint that Li Chaosheng planned for himself.

Therefore, Shi Dalei and Li Dezhen chased here, and the two looked at each other and felt that they could retreat, but at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and a cavalry of about 1,000 people rushed towards this side.
