On the lookout platform of the Zhongshan camp, Li Yangchun's face was pale, and his expression was gloomy and terrifying.

Listening to the report of the soldiers who came from the Dongshan camp, Li Yangchun's face became even more gloomy.

"A large number of soldiers suddenly poured out of the Ming army camp, and our army's attacks were all repulsed, with more than 100 dead and wounded......

The men and horses he sent from the Dongshan camp to attack the Ming army camp were frustrated, and the Ming army's camp was not only a few hundred, but each battalion had more than a thousand people, not only equipped with a large number of firearms, but also a considerable scale of Furlong machine guns and tiger squat guns.

The soldiers who attacked the camp of the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, and there was no way to resist the camp of the Ming army, and they had begun to retreat at this time.

Li Yangchun exerted his strength with both hands and clenched the railing in front of him.

Li Yangchun did not think that the camp he built would not be breached.

It's just that he never imagined that the camp he ordered to be built would be breached like this.

He didn't understand the evolution of the battle from the beginning.

Obviously a guerrilla, but he led nearly 5,000 soldiers.

Most of these soldiers obviously look like new soldiers, but they are ordinary veterans of the Ming army, and they are even better.

What's even stranger is that they still carry artillery.

Li Yangchun came out of the army around him, so he naturally knew that the artillery that fired the shells under the mountain was the shells fired by the cannons.

It was the artillery used to defend the city, and there were only a few large cities in northern Shaanxi that had such artillery.

Who the fuck would use this kind of artillery to attack a cottage, and who the hell would bring this kind of artillery to the army?!

Li Yangchun's eyes were cold, everything that happened in the Xishan camp was in his eyes, and the detectives who sent the message galloped from the Xishan camp, reporting everything that happened in the Xishan camp to him.

The camp in the West Hill is about to collapse, the military academy in the camp is frantically asking for support, and the front line is facing tremendous pressure.

The West Mountain Camp is divided into three battalions, with the foothills, mountainsides, and summits, and the three battalions are stacked on top of each other to support each other.

There are many turrets in the camp, and they can fight the incoming enemy troops from all sides by relying on the dangerous terrain.

However, the result was that the two large camps at the foot of the mountain and the mountainside were all guarded in less than an hour before they fell one after another, and the Ming army was attacking the last camp on the top of the mountain in the western mountain.

The three camps did not achieve the expected results at all, and the root support or anything is nonsense.

As soon as the formation is connected, it has already collapsed, and before the support arrives, the defense line has already collapsed, how can it be useful?

On Li Yangchun's side, a military general with loose hair, blood, and a pale face knelt on the ground decadently.

He was the general of the camp on the mountainside of the West Mountain, which had collapsed due to the shelling, and the head of the guard was now hanging under the lookout.

"Our army was bombarded by artillery and all the soldiers were in a panic, and the officers and men used shield vehicles as a shelter and advanced all the way to more than 40 steps outside the wall."

"Our department sent Francophone cannons, tiger squat cannons, bird guns, and turtledoves to attack officers and soldiers."

"After the smoke cleared, the front of the officer and soldier shield car was very damaged, but there was no damage inside."

The guard looked miserable and said in a mournful voice.

"The officers and soldiers archers jumped out of the shield cart and shot with heavy arrows, and many people were shot and killed in the military academy on the wall of our wall." ….

"Our archers and gunners also fired back with arrows, but the officers and soldiers were wearing heavy armor, and although many of them were hit by arrows, none of them fell."

"The officers and soldiers are all wearing heavy armor, and they cannot be pierced by swords or spears......

The guard's face turned red, and he beat his chest and roared.

"We're not afraid of death, we really don't know how to fight."

"Only with a cannon can you do some damage."

"But fifty paces away, the bird can't break through the heavy armor of the officers and soldiers, and within fifty paces, the officers and soldiers lose their arrows like rain, and the heavy arrows can't cover them even if they wear iron armor."

As if to confirm the truth of his words, the guard took a feathered arrow from his waist.

"Lord, please see, this is a heavy arrow used by officers and soldiers."

On the lookout, all the military academies looked at the feathered arrows in the hands of the guards.

That arrow was really different from the arrows they usually used, and even the arrows of officers and soldiers.

Li Yangchun Tong Kong shrunk, turned around and took the arrow in the guard's hand.

This missed arrow was different from the feathered arrows he had seen before.

The iron arrows are flat-headed shovel-shaped, very sharp, and the arrows are far heavier than the ordinary arrows of the Ming army, and the length is close to three feet.

Li Yangchun noticed that the arrow in his hand was still covered with dark red blood.

"The officers and men are extremely accurate in archery, and there is almost no room for fire, and this feather arrow is pulled out of the body of the dead and wounded military academy."

On the lookout, all the military schools changed color.

Li Yangchun's complexion changed, and his gaze moved from the feather arrow in his hand to Li Guo's body.

Li Guo's heart sank, he knew why Li Yangchun was looking at him at this time.

"Uncle Li, from Pingliang Mansion to Gongchang Mansion, during the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, the little nephew has never seen this kind of feather arrow, and the officers and soldiers have never let go of artillery and used chariots, and the little nephew has also seen these things for the first time."

"If Uncle Li doesn't believe me, you can send someone to ask my subordinates."

Li Yangchun's face softened slightly, and he calmed down, he also knew that Li Guo was not lying, and there was no reason to hide these things.

After all, Li Guo is now a grasshopper on the same line as him, and if he loses, the three of them will not end well.

Most of those officers and soldiers only have military merits in their eyes, and the head of the leader of a battalion is enough to make him rise to prominence, and it is difficult to surrender and save his life after defeat.

Just now he looked at Li Guo and wanted to ask, but it was only a subconscious reaction.

Li Guo's thoughts were churning in his mind, and years of fighting had made him develop a decisive character.

At the moment, he no longer hesitated, stepped forward and clenched his fists with both hands, and asked for his life

"The officers and soldiers are now attacking the camp on the top of the mountain in Xishan, according to the previous situation, I am afraid that the camp on the top of the mountain will not be able to support it for long, and the little nephew is willing to lead the headquarters to gallop to help."

Li Yangchun figured out the trick at this time, so he naturally shook his head and refused, waving his hand.

"The officers and soldiers are hiding a lot of grievances against the virtuous nephew, and the virtuous nephew can sit quietly."

Li Guo wanted to ask for his life again, but Lin Shengquan, the king of heaven climbing, pressed his shoulder.

Li Guo turned his head to look at Lin Shengquan, Lin Shengquan slowly shook his head at him, and then said to Li Yangchun

"Fourth brother, this officer and soldier is different from what we met before......"....

"This battle can't be fought, we have no chance of winning, taking advantage of the fact that the casualties are not large now, it is still too late to gather the elite cavalry and horse army to break through and retreat to Fengxiang Mansion."

Lin Shengquan took a step forward and said in a deep voice facing Li Yangchun.

This army of officers and soldiers is strange from top to bottom, from head to toe.

Both tactics and tactics are completely different from those of the officers and men of the past.

Li Yangchun's face was embarrassed, and he smiled bitterly and said in a low voice.

"It's not up to us to decide whether to retreat or not, and now we can't retreat, and we can't retreat."

The situation is already difficult to ride a tiger, not because of the defeat of Shoushan, but because Li Yangchun came to follow Gao Yingxiang's orders this time.

Lin Shengquan's status is not enough to know the real plan.

"You mean ......?"

A trace of helplessness flashed in Lin Shengquan's eyes, although he didn't know many things, but as the head of a battalion, he also guessed something.

Li Yangchun didn't speak, but raised his hand first and ordered to retreat.

Soon, only Li Yangchun, Lin Shengquan, and Li Guo were left on the entire lookout.

"Now that I'm telling you, there should be no problem."

Li Yangchun glanced around and sighed lightly.

"However, this matter must be kept secret, and speaking out will inevitably cause the morale of the military to fluctuate."

Lin Shengquan and Li Guo glanced at each other, then turned their heads again, and both nodded.

"King Chuang led the army to fight in Hong Chengchou's decisive battle against Sanyuan

It's a false move, just to attract all the attention of the officers and soldiers to Guanzhong."

"The real purpose is to go east out of Tongguan and re-enter Henan Province, the agreed time is in October, now calculate the time, the eight kings should have broken through the pass and entered Henan, and King Chuang should also lead most of them to the east."

Lin Shengquan sank suddenly, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes, staring at Li Yangchun.

"Do you mean that in the whole of Shaanxi now, there are only a few of us left to fight alone?"

"The two battalions of Fengxiang Mansion add up to only 20,000 people, and we can't reach 50,000 even if we join forces with them, and the officers and soldiers in Shaanxi add up to 20,000?"

"What do you mean by King Chuang?!"

Li Guo's eyes flickered, he didn't speak, he remembered the previous military discussion.

Everyone wanted to go to northern Shaanxi or stay in Qingyang Mansion, but Li Zicheng was trying to lead his troops south, and I am afraid that he knew about it.

"We have a lot of people in Yan'an Mansion, Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing, and King Zhenggong are still in Yan'an Mansion, there are 100,000 people."

"Yan'an Mansion is the closest to Xi'an Mansion, and the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi must be the ones who want to solve Yan'an Mansion at the first time, and the officers and soldiers have no energy to take care of us in the short term."

Li Yangchun did not avoid Lin Shengquan's gaze.

"Breaking the king is in the next big game, and now is the stage of setting up the formation."

"We are all military chess on top of the chess game."

"Do you remember the camps that stayed around?"

Lin Shengquan was naturally impressed.

Most of them marched westward, but many battalions remained in Henan, Huguang, Shandong, Sichuan, Nanzhili and other provinces, or fought guerrilla in all directions, or gathered in the mountains and forests.

"You should have noticed that the officers and soldiers are fighting fewer and fewer now."

Lin Shengquan's eyes were slightly cold, and his heart chuckled. ….

If you think about it carefully, it seems that there are indeed fewer and fewer officers and soldiers encountered.

From the thousands of people who pursued them in the past, to the scale of only a thousand now, they have even ignored them for a long time.

After they entered Shaanxi this time, there were not many officers and soldiers in total.

When he was in Fengxiang Mansion, he encountered any obstacles, and the soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion didn't even dare to step out of the city, and they didn't even have a decent confrontation.

Now that I think about it, it seems that the officers and men are indeed extremely scattered, and they are not even able to build a decent encirclement network.

Since entering Shaanxi, the officers and men have always been at a disadvantage, unable to parry left and right, and even though they have tried their best to cover up, they are still full of flaws.

"King Chuang doesn't want to get rid of dissidents, you can rest assured of this, I know that King Chuang is leaving Shaanxi, and I am still ordered to come to Fenggongchang Mansion, this is the best evidence."

Lin Shengquan nodded silently, the truth is indeed as Li Yangchun said

They are all grasshoppers on a thread now, and if something really happens, no one can escape.

"The king is camping in all directions, precisely for the future."

"The officers and men of our battalion scattered outside will naturally have to divide their manpower to defend themselves, and their main forces will be less and less, and our army will have more advantages in the frontal battlefield."

"Shaanxi was short of food and could not feed hundreds of thousands of troops, so it went out of Shaanxi and entered Henan, and from Henan Rao went up a big circle through Huguang, Guanzhong, and Sichuan......

"When King Chuang gets the military rations and returns north to Shaanxi again, it will be the time to break through Xijing."

"When Xijing is broken, it will be the day when King Chuang will tear the soil and become the emperor!"

Li Yangchun's eyes were blazing, and his heart fluctuated.

He didn't know any history, and he didn't read many books, but he had heard about storytelling, the Three Kingdoms, the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the stories of the founding emperors of many dynasties.

By the time the emperor was founded, all of them were the heroes of the founding of the country, from the dragon's generals.

It is inevitable that he will be honored by the marquis, Yaozong and his ancestors, and his name will remain in history, and maybe his deeds will be written and praised by future generations.

"This is all the layout of King Chuang, and King Chuang's meaning is to let us stay in Gongchang Mansion, and wait until most of them enter Xi'an Mansion again, and we will respond.

」

"That's why I said I can't go back."

Li Yangchun's gaze was deep, and he turned his head to look east.

"As for why I can't return ......?"

"Li Xian's nephew said before that this army of officers and soldiers is extremely strange, hanging all the way behind their troops, and it is clear that they can annihilate them but they have been delayed."

"And the troops were sent several times to prevent them from going in the direction of Fengxiang Mansion, as long as they went to Gongchang Mansion, they would not encounter an attack."

"It seems that I want to drive them to Hanzhong Mansion."

"Naturally, we won't be allowed to retreat east now."

As if to confirm Li Yangchun's words, a scout rode a horse and passed through the heavy guards with the seal in his hand and came to the lookout.

The horse troops sent out to attack had already been repulsed, and they saw officers and soldiers and a large number of cavalry in the camp.

The camp of the officers and soldiers was built on the road they had to go to Fengxiang Mansion, and if they wanted to escape to Fengxiang Mansion by way from there, they would undoubtedly encounter their interception, and forcing a breakthrough would only result in heavy losses.

And even if they escape to Fengxiang Mansion, I am afraid that they will not only have to face this strange army of officers and soldiers, but also need to face the officers and soldiers of Xi'an Mansion, and they will undoubtedly be caught between the officers and soldiers at that time.

Li Yangchun wanted to say something more, but before he could say anything, he was already interrupted by Lin Shengquan.

"Look at the ...... on the mountain road."

Li Yangchun followed the direction of Lin Shengquan's finger and looked at the official road under the West Mountain, but in an instant, his complexion had become extremely ugly.

He saw that on the mountain road, the mules and horses of the officers and soldiers were dragging the artillery wagon, heading towards the top of the West Mountain.

At this time, the large battalion on the top of the mountain in Xishan had changed its flag, the red flag of the officers and men had already been raised, and the third battalion in Xishan had been broken in less than an hour.

The purpose of the officers and men in dragging the artillery up the mountain at this time was obvious, and they wanted to set up an artillery position on the top of the West Mountain and bombard the Zhongshan directly from the West Mountain.

The reason why Li Yangchun's face is extremely ugly is because he has worked hard in the camp according to the mountains, but now he has become the help of officers and soldiers.

The height of the three mountains is not much different, and the distance is not too far, and if the firing cannon is assumed to be on the top of the west mountain, the other two mountains will be included in its range.

Li Yangchun's expression changed, and he clenched the Yanling knife on his waist.

After half a ring, seeing more and more officers and soldiers rushing upwards on the mountain road, Li Yangchun finally issued a military order.

"Gather the elite cavalry and horse army, and remember not to cause a commotion......

"Let's ...... south."
