On a dirt slope, two war horses are standing proudly here.

Bai Minghe and Liu Tichun were both looking into the distance at this time, and their faces were the same, that is, they were very serious and a little heavy.

The Ming army actually fought back!

This result really surprised the two of them, which was completely inconsistent with the information they had received before.

According to what Bai Bangzheng said, the Ming army was preparing to break through and escape with Emperor Chongzhen, and the scheduled time was tonight, but why did they act in advance?

As we all know, in ancient times, due to nutritional problems, people at that time mostly suffered from night blindness, and it was easy to see things too far away at night. If it's really a breakthrough, it's only natural to choose the evening.

But the Ming army counterattacked during the day, what were they going to do?

Breakout?

I'm afraid that this excuse will only deceive fools. Then the question arises again, if it is not a breakthrough, what does the Ming army want to do?

The intelligence results of various investigations showed that the number of Ming troops in Beijing was limited, that is, about 15,000 people. But their Dashun army has hundreds of thousands of people, and under the huge disparity in strength, if the Ming army does not break through, can it still fail to attack?

The two who can't figure it out, this is the reason for their sad faces.

It was precisely because they couldn't understand that the two did not directly reinforce Liu Rukui's troops with a large army, but slowly approached the battlefield in a slow way.

As a general, it is extremely unwise to take the initiative to attack in any way before you can fully understand the situation on the battlefield. If the situation is not clarified, I am afraid that the two of them will not order their army to move forward quickly.

"Brother Liu, what tricks do you explain the army is playing?" Bai Minghe, who couldn't figure it out for a long time, chose to ask Liu Tichun to see if he could solve his doubts.

A gaze like an idiot immediately fell on Bai Heming's body. Liu Tichun thought in his heart that if he could see it, he would become one of the three major strategists.

No, Li Yan and the three of them didn't see it, so they couldn't see it. "I don't know."

After a very simple answer, Liu Tichun thought for a while and then spoke: "But what I know is that this Ming army is different from the previous Ming army, and it is a little difficult. ”

"Yes, it's not easy to deal with." On this point, Bai Heming is clearly in favor.

can kill Li Mou, Ma Chongxu and He Jin in a row, how can they be good looks.

Even if the other Ming armies could defeat them, at most they would break them up for a while, and as long as they were given enough time, they would soon be able to pull up a new team. But the Ming army in front of him is a general who specializes in killing, and with this alone, he can't be treated cautiously.

It's like now, the two of them are a little slow to drive with the army, why not because of this?

In the past, they had a rotten life and nothing, they really dared to work hard.

But now, after robbing so many good things, there is wealth.

What a credit has been made, and the power has been there.

became the general who led the army, and his status was also gained.

After having money, power, and wealth, it is natural that they will not become the same as before, and they will begin to lose their lives.

At least something like a battlefield charge, they don't choose to do it lightly.

When the two of them were talking here, they suddenly ran back to a cavalry scout in front, and saw him quickly come to the front of the dirt slope, quickly turned over and dismounted, and then half-knelt on the ground, and said in a somewhat trembling voice: "Report to the two generals, our army is defeated in front, General Liu Rukui, he..."

"How's General Liu?" Bai Heming asked first.

"General Liu died in battle." The scout only hesitated for a moment and then reported it directly. It was really when he got the news that he was really taken aback. This is a mighty general, an existence one level higher than their own General Guo Yi, but now they have all been killed, these Ming troops are really too powerful.

"Ahh

It seemed that Bai Heming and Liu Tichun both exclaimed in unison.

Just now they were still thinking that even if they fought with the Ming army for a while, they would not rush to the front line, but would command remotely in the back.

It is naturally best to defeat the Ming army, and that is the credit; If you can't beat it, then be ready to retreat at any time, in short, your life is at stake.

The two of them can think of it, and they believe that Liu Rukui must be able to think of it too. But now, the man is dead.

"What the hell is going on? Are the old battalion soldiers around General Liu all eating dry rice? After being stunned for a few breaths, Bai Heming thought of asking the cause of death.

"General Bai, I heard that it was because the army was unable to defeat the Ming army and retreated, and General Liu took the old battalion brothers to block their retreat, and then he was killed by the Ming army's firearms." The scout continued to answer. Regarding this issue, he met with the soldiers of the old battalion who ran back first, and only came to report after asking about the process.

After all, it is impossible for a mighty general to die without knowing it, not only his own general, but also the king of Dashun must be eager to know what happened.

"Nonsense, how far can the Ming army's guns hit, how could General Liu be defenseless, besides, there are so many soldiers in the old battalion who are closely protected, it is impossible for him to die in battle like this." Bai Heming said very incomprehensibly.

"General Bai is not an ordinary Ming army firearm, but a new firearm of the Ming army. The subordinates asked several people, and they didn't even see the Ming army approaching, but General Liu and many soldiers of the old battalion riding war horses were killed. ”

The scout explained aloud that this was the result of several questions he had asked, and that there would be no fakes.

Obviously, Bai Heming didn't fully believe it, and wanted to ask something more, but Liu Tichun on the side spoke, "Brother Bai, all this should be true." ”

At this time, Liu Tichun would say this, obviously thinking of the night when the Ming army attacked his military camp.

That night, he also didn't see what the Ming army that attacked him looked like, but his army was heavily damaged, killing thousands of people, and in the end there was not even a single Ming soldier left, not even the shadow of the other party, now that I think about it, it is indeed very terrible.

"Really? Do you mean that the Ming army has the kind of new firearms that can take people's lives from a long distance? Bai Heming actually had some belief in his heart, after all, if the scout was not completely sure, he would not dare to report blindly, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.

"Yes, there are no other Ming troops, but the Ming army we have to face is likely to have." Liu Tichun said in an affirmative tone.

"That's... This..."Bai Heming was indeed a little panicked when he heard this.

If this is the case, then wouldn't it be too dangerous to confront this Ming army. Liu Rukui was killed, so if he was replaced by himself, would he be able to ensure safety?

Bai Heming has everything he has now, and he is already very satisfied, but he doesn't want to die. Liu Tichun also has the same idea as him, but the difference is that when the other party is still thinking about how to fight this battle next in order to protect himself, people are already thinking about retreating.

Let's not talk about whether he will be able to win the Ming army on the opposite side if he leads people to fight, and if he can win, he is afraid that he will also be hit hard, what is the point of doing this?

Thinking that he was attacked by the Ming army that night, it can be said that he suffered heavy losses, and then he reported the casualties to Li Zicheng, and then got some soldiers to replenish him. But if you look closely, what kind of soldiers are they, but they are just ordinary people who can't eat.

The oldest of these people is nearly fifty years old, and in this era, such an age can definitely be called an old age.

Such soldiers, don't point out what tough battles they can fight, when they really fight, it's good not to fall behind.

There are a lot of elites who died in battle, and there are some old battalion soldiers. But what Li Zicheng added was the old, weak, sick and disabled, which directly made his strength begin to shrink greatly.

As a general leading troops, if the strength in his hands is not strong enough, his voice will be much quieter.

After experiencing a weakening of strength, how could Liu Tichun want to come a second time, he made a decision, that is, he would not lead troops to fight against the rushing Ming army, such a thing, whoever wants to do it will do it, anyway, he is going to retreat.

"General Bai, General Liu was killed in battle, the matter is serious, I think it is necessary to report it to King Dashun to know, I am ready to go back, and the matter here will bother General Bai. You can also rest assured, if Brother Bai has made a contribution here, all the merits will be won by Brother Bai alone. ”

Liu Tichun can be said to have reacted quickly, and before Bai Heming could think clearly and say something, he had already hugged his fists, then turned around and rode away. His men under the dirt slope also retreated with him.

"Let's go... Let's go? Bai Heming watched Liu Tichun leave, and then he reacted. It's just that it's a little late, and the two of them can go one, but they can't both go, otherwise, once King Dashun asks about the crime, the consequences will be serious.

"General, what are we going to do next?" The scout saw that Liu Tichun had already left, so he asked Bai Heming in a careful tone.

"What else can I do? Of course, there will be a battle with the Ming army. In this way, the notice will go down, and all the soldiers will stop advancing, set up a position on the spot, and see the situation first. ”

said that it was a battle, and it was not difficult to hear from Bai Heming's words that he was also a little scared. It's just hateful, Liu Tichun left first, if he is leaving, I'm afraid that Li Zicheng will be very unhappy, and the big board can fall on him.

scolded Liu Tichun for not being righteous enough and not paying attention to it, Bai Heming stubbornly stayed, but he was also ready to withdraw at any time if he couldn't fight.
