Five thousand horsemen escorted Li Guo and began to charge, the vicinity of the north city gate in front was already crowded with people at this time, and a large number of rogue thieves who had rushed to support had been defeated, and there were a large number of new army birds shooting around, and the scene was very chaotic.

"Get on the bayonet!"

At this time, Chen Xun personally led the soldiers in the middle of the front camp of the new army into the north city gate, and saw the front brigade of thieves rushing over, and directly ordered the bayonet, after nearly a thousand bird guns fired a volley, Chen Xun led his troops to charge.

At this time, on the dim street, thousands of Xiao cavalry of Li Guo's department were hit by a volley of new army birds, and hundreds of men and horses in the front screamed and fell to the ground, and the neighing war horses and dead soldiers all became a stumbling block, blocking and tripping the rogue Xiao cavalry that rushed up behind, and then the Xiao knights behind saw this and grabbed the reins one after another, reducing the speed that had just been raised.

It didn't take long for the already crowded streets to be full of chaotic Xiao Knights, and then Chen Xun led thousands of new army birds, as well as more than a hundred sword and shield men who rushed to the front, struggling to throw the heaven-shattering thunder, and killed the thieves and horses.

Rumble!

The earth-shaking thunder opened the way in front and blew down a group of rogue thieves, and the new army bird riders behind roared angrily and rushed into the crowd, plus the bayonet bird guns more than one person high began to stab, like countless short guns killed in formation, those thieves and horsemen who were blown up by the earth-shaking thunder and the army's hearts were killed in embarrassment.

"Kill it!"

Li Guo was furious at this time, even if Liu Yan's troops were strong, but the cavalry was pressed and beaten by the infantry of the new army, which was also a great shame!

At this time, Li Guo led hundreds of heavily armored horsemen to rush to the front, and the spear in his hand was directly stabbed to death

saw a hundred generals in the middle of the new army, only to see that the hundred generals roared before he died, and held Li Guo's spear tightly with both hands, and did not let go until he died.

Li Guo was horrified when he saw this, and with all his strength, he couldn't pull it out at all, so he hurriedly discarded the spear and pulled out the war knife at his waist.

"Boss!"

"Mr. Bai!"

The surrounding soldiers of the new army were all sad and indignant when they saw this, and they roared angrily to kill Li Guo, and the horsemen around Li Guo also roared angrily to meet them, and many people jumped off their horses in order to facilitate the fight, and the soldiers of the new army fought hand-to-hand, and the two sides did not die.

"Kill!"

A New Army soldier stabbed and killed the Knights in front of him, but was then slashed in the neck by another Rider and fell on his back.

A new saber and shield hand next to him was sandwiched by two horsemen, and his body was wounded in multiple places, but before he died, he ignited three earth-shattering thunderbolts on his body, and then roared and rushed into the crowd of thieves, pulling more than a dozen thieves around him, and was killed together with a thief holding the flag.

The violent explosion shook Li Guo's ears, and after a burst of tinnitus, the crowd in front of him seemed to begin to ghost.

"Kill it!"

Li Guo rode forward, the north gate in front of him was already close at hand, but there were more and more soldiers of the new army around, and many soldiers who had been injured began to learn the sword and shield hand that "self-detonated", igniting the earth-shaking thunder and dying with the thieves, or a few bird-swordsmen stabbed and killed in front, and the other few people shot the enemy in the back, and the two sides fought inextricably.

Chen Xun was already red-eyed at this time, and despite the dissuasion of Guo Mingxu, the general of the central staff, he rushed to Li Guo's side with more than 20 guards, and everyone didn't care about the thieves around him

Xiaocai's attack, desperately stabbed Li Guo's mount, and even stabbed Li Guo's legs in a few places.

"Bastard!"

Li Guo roared in pain, and the war horse that sat down fell to the ground with a scream, overturning Li Guo directly.

"Kill Li Guo!"

The main general of the thief's rear battalion is beside Li Guo, all the soldiers of the new army know who this is, at this time followed Chen Xun regardless of life and death rushed over, Li Guorao is experienced in a hundred battles, and has never seen the new army so fearless of life and death of the enemy, his heart was horrified, just got up with his hands and feet, he felt a pain in his abdomen, looked down and saw that there were already three bird guns stabbed into his abdomen.

Immediately after Chen Xun killed, he slashed off Li Guo's head with a knife, then picked it up from the ground, jumped on a dead horse next to him, held Li Guo's head high, and roared angrily.

The soldiers of the new army near the north gate suddenly roared a tsunami, the shouts of Wansheng resounded through the night, countless soldiers began to storm the city, and the battle on the head of the city also showed a one-sided situation, a large number of new army soldiers captured the north city tower, and began to attack and advance along the city wall to the east and west.

At the same time, Gao Yigong led the remnants all the way to the north city gate, and saw countless defeated troops of various departments along the way, Gao Yigong roared and greeted his subordinates, and gathered the defeated soldiers along the way to his side.

By the time Gao Yigong passed by the county office, more than 7,000 people had gathered around him, including various horsemen and firecrackers who had escaped from the city.

"The whole army to the north!"

Gao Yigong roared loudly, and suddenly saw a large number of horsemen fleeing from the streets to the north, and those were defeated

The scattered horsemen rode their horses and fled south, as if some monster was chasing them in the night behind them.

Gao Yigong saw a lieutenant he knew, and immediately ordered someone to stop him, and then asked angrily: "Didn't you follow General System to break through to the North Gate, why did you run back, where is General System!" ”

The lieutenant was almost about to cry, and said loudly: "The general has been killed, the thousands of troops in the north have all been defeated, and the official army is coming to this side, what should the general do!" ”

When Gao Yigong heard this, he was hit hard, and said angrily: "General Zhi died in battle? Then why are you still alive! ”

After speaking, Gao Yigong cut down the captain from his horse with a knife, and then said angrily: "Follow me to the north to avenge the general!" ”

However, the surrounding more than 7,000 people were discouraged at this time, where did they still have the courage to follow Gao Yigong to the north city gate, and most of the men and horses were dispersed on the spot.

A thief firecracker was also slashed by Gao Yigong, but he didn't hit the vital point, and he was stabbed in the back, and blood immediately flowed.

The firecracker endured the severe pain, directly raised the firearm in his hand, and scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu Day, your mother! ”

As soon as the words fell, the firecracker shot the firecracker, and the firelight accompanied by gunsmoke directly pierced Gao Yigong's chest, only a few steps away, and the armor on Gao Yigong's body couldn't resist it at all, so he stared at it directly, and fell off the horse on his back.

At this time, no one around the rogue soldiers looked at Gao Yigong at all, and when they saw that the master was dead, they fled in all directions.

It didn't take long for Chen Xun to lead the soldiers of the front battalion of the new army to rush here and look at the fall

In the pool of blood, Gao Yigong, who was wearing well-known armor, and General Youguoyi, who was ignored next to the corpse, Chen Xun said in surprise: "This is Li Guo's general, General Youguoyi?" Is this a high merit or a horse heavy! ”

Guo Mingxu said with a smile: "Zongzhen, no matter who it is, first collect the big silk and cut the head, and then go back and confirm." ”

"Hmm."

Chen Xun asked his subordinates to cut off their heads, put away the big silk, and then led his troops to continue to attack all parts of the city.

At this time, the sound of killing in Xingtang County was shocking, and the fierce battle lasted until dawn the next day.

When the first rays of sunlight shone in the city the next day, Liu Yan led the new army's personal guard battalion into the city, and immediately sent people to set up a list in the city to calm the people, and sent troops to patrol the city to prevent the small people and thieves from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

In the county yamen in the city, Liu Yan sat in the main hall, and Li Guo's map was also captured by Liu Yan, and he couldn't help but sigh to the commanders and deputy commanders of each battalion: "This map has roughly drawn the route of our army's rapid march, Li Guo is really a talent, we fought this battle beautifully, and we also took advantage of the surprise attack." ”

"If we fight with Li Guo head-on, although our army will definitely win in the end, it will be difficult to guarantee the time and the number of casualties, and it will be impossible to solve it in a short period of time in the face of such a difficult opponent!"

In the end, Liu Yan sighed and said, "Li Guo, it's a pity! A beautiful woman, how can you be a thief! ”

Then the battalions began to count the results and casualties, and it only took more than half an hour to report the numbers to Liu Yan.

In this battle, the battalions of the new army raided and beheaded

After killing Li Guo, the general of the camp thief system, and his subordinates Zhang Neng, the general of Zuo Guoyi, Ma Chongxi, and Gao Yigong, the general of Right Guoyi. After beheading the thieves, the battalion had more than 17,800 horsemen, more than 21,900 armor soldiers, 4,352 fire guns, and more than 45,000 dead soldiers, with a total of more than 90,000 beheadings. In addition, the battalions of the New Army and the garrison also captured more than 73,000 people, and according to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Department, the rear battalion of the thieves had a strong strength, at least 200,000 horses, and more than 160,000 people were wiped out in this battle, and the rear battalion of the thieves was wiped out!

However, although the results of this battle were huge, the battalions of the new army and the garrison army also paid a certain price, especially when the army entered the city and engaged in street battles with the army of thieves, all departments paid a certain price.

In this battle, 1,359 men were killed and more than 2,300 were wounded in the battalions of the New Army and the garrison, most of which were casualties caused by street fighting.

However, when Liu Yan and the battalion commanders inquired about the specific combat process, they were also quite surprised, and specially ordered people to record the new tactics such as high-altitude shooting and crossfire, so that they could be popularized throughout the army.

"Elder Ge, what should we do next?"

Miao Shao asked: "Now that the bands of the thieves are scattered, should we continue to attack and continue to consume the strength of the thieves?" ”

Liu Yan looked at Miao Shao in surprise and said with a smile: "Very good, Miao Zongbing's strategic vision is already very good. ”

Then Liu Yan said: "This is what the father really thinks, and now according to the information provided by the battalions that do not receive it at night, there is a high probability that the right, middle, and left battalions of the thieves have now discovered that our army is not."

At Jingcheng Pass, even those three battalions may have begun to move northward, looking for traces of our troops. ”

"In addition, the old camp of thieves led by Li Zicheng should have marched east from the area of Montenegro by now, and the target should be the area of Xingtang County."

"In addition, the front battalion and firearms battalion of the thieves who have already attacked to the east will definitely divide their troops to help after they notice that they have cut off contact with Li Guobu."

Liu Yan immediately pointed to the location of Xingtang County on the map, and said to everyone: "Therefore, in the next battle, Xingtang County will definitely be the focus of the thieves, and our army can take advantage of this!" ”

Everyone suddenly came to their senses, and Chen Xun asked, "Elder Ge, where are we going next?" ”

"Xinle County!"

Liu Yan pointed to Xinle County, east of Xingtang County, on the map, and said to everyone: "Xinle County is more than 100 miles away from Xingtang County, our army will set off today, quickly go to Xinle County to hide and station, and then send a large number of night non-collectors to investigate the movements of the thieves, and then make plans!" ”

Xu Ming said with a smile: "Pavilion is always going to see which tribe of thieves is single?" ”

Liu Yan said categorically: "That's right, the essence of sports warfare is: whoever is left alone, Lao Tzu will do whom!" ”
