0594, Li Zicheng's whereabouts

A rabble is a rabble.

Although it has undergone a simple reorganization, due to limited time, many things have not been clarified, and the Suizhoubu military camp temporarily formed by 1,600 prisoners of war is still a rabble.

Chige ordered twenty-four sharpshooters to lead one hundred and twenty of their own soldiers to each other, scattered among the eight infantry squads to act as snipers.

This is an effective way to temporarily improve the combat effectiveness of the eight infantry squads, and Chige's order is not wrong, it can be said to be just right.

The twenty-four marksmen did not live up to Chige's expectations, and finally mastered their amazing marksmanship and concentrated the attacking enemy in the middle of the mountain beam.

Rush-kill---

Seeing that the first batch of rolling logs and stones smashed the enemy into rolling gourds, 1,600 people from the eight infantry squads shouted in unison, drew their waist knives and killed them on the west slope of the mountain beam.

Try to avoid hand-to-hand combat, which is a tactic that Chige repeatedly emphasized.

With a rabble of 2,000 to defend the mountain beams and resist the attack of Shen Zhixiang's 20,000 army, and there was an extreme lack of arrows, the only thing Chige could do was to delay time, so he issued the order "No hand-to-hand combat is allowed until absolutely necessary".

The so-called planning is in man and success is in heaven, and the ancients never said that they were wrong.

Chige thought of everything, but he didn't think that this group of Dashun troops was not a regular army at all, or that it did not have the elite troops of the regular army.

Although military orders are like a mountain, there are still common rules that the law does not hold the people accountable.

If one or two people disobeyed the military order, Chige could of course let his own soldiers arrest him and strictly enforce military discipline.

But now that the 1,600 infantry troops have all rushed down, of course Chige can't capture them all and kill them.

Although he was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, now that the wood was already in the boat, Chige was helpless, so he could only shout: "The archers are monitoring the enemy in place, preventing the enemy from grabbing the defensive position of the mountain beam." The pro-military battalion immediately attacked and picked up the infantry battalion!"

Five hundred soldiers brandished their swords and slaughtered halfway up the hill, and there were only twenty-four marksmen left on the top of the mountain beam, and then one hundred and twenty high-skilled soldiers.

It was impossible for these more than 100 people to defend the frontal width of 1,600 paces, and the only hope was that the pro-soldier battalion would be able to pick up the infantry battalion.

The enemy is not a fool, and a fool cannot become an enemy.

Shen Zhixiang is not a fool, but a master who has been in battle for a long time.

Rolling logs and rocks suddenly appeared on the mountain beams, and their own attacking troops suffered heavy losses at once. This scene made his heart tremble, and he even had an urge to vomit blood.

If the enemy had prepared enough rolling wood and stones on the mountain beam, Shen Zhixiang thought that he had no chance of capturing the mountain beam at all, and then rushed to Suizhou City to rescue his precious son.

Unexpectedly, the enemy only released a batch of rolling wood and stones, and he had already abandoned the commanding heights of the mountain beam and killed the whole army down the mountain.

"It seems that I came too quickly, and the enemy didn't prepare more rolling wood and stones at all in a hurry, so now I can only rush down in hand-to-hand combat, God help me!"

The first assault force of 3,000 men had now been completely lost, with more than 2,000 men lost in the first attack.

Shen Zhixiang not only did not get frustrated, but became excited: "The left wing phalanx immediately rescues the attacking troops in front, and the right wing phalanx gets out of the way to fight and fight the front, and goes all out to seize the commanding heights of the mountain beam! The cavalry battalion of the Chinese army gives up a qiē baggage, and once the mountain beam is captured, it will immediately set off to reinforce Suizhou City!"

As the herald desperately waved the red flag, only 3,000 cavalry were left around Shen Zhixiang, and 2,000 people rushed out of the left and right flanks to fight, and the situation instantly turned white-hot.

Shen Zhixiang's other 10,000 infantry troops formed a huge phalanx and then followed, slowly pressing up towards the foot of the mountain, and the situation that Chige was most worried about finally appeared.

The fact that the enemy and us are mixed together in the middle of the mountain is not something that you can easily do if you want to break away. If one side simply retreats regardless of it, one carelessness can turn into a rout.

After Chige's 500 personal soldiers entered the battle, it happened that Shen Zhixiang's second echelon of 2,000 people rushed up, and the plan to return to the main position of the mountain beam with the infantry camp fell through, and the two sides fought a stalemate halfway up the mountain, which was bad enough.

To make matters worse, the other 2,000 enemy men went around in a circle to get out of the melee, and rushed up directly to the mountain beam through a passage on the south side.

"Big things go!"

After Chige let out a long sigh, he was forced to give the order to break the cauldron and sink the boat: "Order the guerrillas to abandon their war horses and go up the mountain, and they must counterattack the enemy on the south side!"

Woowoo woo –

Just when Chige tightened the armor on his body and was about to come down from the highest point of the beacon tower and command the guerrilla team of the Shooting Battalion to make a final fight, a horn suddenly sounded from the southwest direction, and then a dark cloud appeared behind Shen Zhixiang's army, and the whole earth began to shake.

Chige stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and was looking into the distance, and the quick-talking herald had already shouted in surprise: "General: General Helangen, it is General Helangen's military flag that is rushing over, and our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Very good, hehe, very good!" Chige also saw Helangen's purple sac, and immediately smiled: "Pass my order: the guerrilla team will take the horse up the mountain instead, and prepare to encircle and annihilate Shen Zhixiang's department!"

Tens of thousands of elite riders suddenly appeared behind him, and Shen Zhixiang suddenly fell into the ice cave from a state of extreme excitement, and the whole person was already stunned.

Fortunately, the deputy general next to him was not dragged down by rescuing his son, so he was still relatively sober: "My lord, it's too late again, hurry up and order a retreat." If the main force of the enemy arrives behind us, we will be blocked at the foot of the mountain and all our troops will be annihilated!"

Shen Zhixiang could only lament: "Pass the order: the whole army will leave the battle and retreat urgently!"

The enemy behind him appeared too suddenly, and Shen Zhixiang's retreat order certainly seemed very abrupt, at least the infantry troops in front of him felt very abrupt.

Because they received an order not long ago, that is, to seize Shanliang at any cost, and then immediately reinforce Suizhou City.

One or two hundred thousand is not a small number, and it is certainly not something that you can leave if you want to.

Shen Zhixiang immediately became anxious when he saw a huge purple sac appearing on the road behind him: "The Chinese cavalry will immediately break through the enemy's resistance at any cost, open the retreat channel, and then cover the retreat of the army!"

said it soundingly, but Shen Zhixiang's fundamental purpose was just the opposite.

Before the herald had completely passed the order, Shen Zhixiang had already commanded the 3,000 Chinese cavalry to turn around and flee.

Unexpectedly, the enemy behind him did not intercept Shen Zhixiang's 3,000 cavalry, but flashed to both sides to make way for the passage and began to intercept the enemy's baggage troops in separate ways.

Chige led the guerrilla team of 2,400 people down the mountain, and when he saw that the troops on the opposite side of Heligan actually let go of the front passage and let Shen Zhixiang go, he was immediately furious.

At this moment, a young general galloped over, and shouted from afar: "Is it the flying dragon general who is coming?"

Chige replied angrily: "It is Chige who is here! Who are you who dare to let go of the enemy's main general?"

The young general did not slow down, and at the same time shouted loudly: "The last general, Chang Delin, came to convey the emergency order on the order of the emperor!"

Chige was shocked when he heard this: "Chang Delin, it turns out that you are Chang Delin, the left-wing pioneer of Helangen, has the emperor come up?"

As soon as he spoke, Chang Delin, who was in a white robe and a white horse, had already rushed to the front and flew off his horse: "The last general, Chang Delin, see General Feilong!"

"No need to be polite!" Chige also turned over and dismounted: "I have long heard that the emperor has received two young generals in Fengyang City, the central capital, and I finally saw you today." You said that you conveyed the emperor's urgent order, what is going on?"

Chang Delin took off his helmet and wiped his sweat, and then said in a low voice: "General Feilong, the emperor has arrived at Chengtian Mansion, and the scouts found that General Feilong's shooting battalion captured Suizhou City, and of course they also found that Shen Zhixiang's whole army was advancing eastward, but this is not the main thing. ”

"The most important thing is that the British king Azig of the Manchu Qing Dynasty led 40,000 elite horsemen, and suddenly went south from Luoyang to rescue Kong Youde, and now he has arrived in Fancheng to meet Kong Youde. The two families have joined forces, and the total number of troops has exceeded 70,000. ”

Chige shook his head, a little disapproving: "What kind of thing is Azig, I didn't have him when I debuted." Why did the emperor still take him seriously, even at the expense of letting Shen Zhixiang go?"

Chang Delin nodded, and then said sternly: "General Feilong has been out day and night in the past few days, and he doesn't know much about the enemy situation outside, which is understandable. A mere Azig brought 40,000 elite horsemen, of course. The problem is that there is a situation on Geng Zhongming's side in the east, and we need to adjust the direction of our operations. ”

Chige was still a little dissatisfied: "There are 10,000 Ma Jinzhong in Yingshan County, 10,000 Niu Youyong in Lishan County, and 30,000 Ma Guangyi defending Xiaochang County, even if Geng Zhongming from Xinyang goes south, what does it matter?"

"General Wyvern doesn't know. Chang Delin whispered: "Soon after General Sahur occupied Suizhou City, Wanying and Wanqing's two sisters-in-law rushed to Suizhou City to take over the defense task and let the shooting battalion move out again, which is a very good situation. ”

However, when the two sisters-in-law searched the whole city, they caught a person and sent it to Chengtian Mansion, so the emperor immediately entered Chengtian Mansion to preside over the overall situation, so General Feilong was required to change the direction of the battle. ”

"Oh, and that matter?" Chige thought thoughtfully, "Who did Wanying and her sisters catch?"

Chang Delin smiled: "Emperor Li Zicheng's prime minister Niu Jinxing, General Feilong won't know it, right? Li Zicheng fell into an ambush on all sides in Xinyang, which was caused by Niu Jinxing's defection. This guy was originally a down-and-out scholar, an opportunistic guy. ”

Niu Jinxing saw that Li Zicheng had completely collapsed, so he began to defect and plan. His purpose was originally to take refuge in Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, so he quietly came to Suizhou City. It was precisely because of his secret planning and the command in the name of the prime minister that Xiangyang City would surrender without a fight. ”

Chige suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I said that Li Zicheng has always been suspicious, how could he hand over his rear to someone who doesn't know the details." So, what does the emperor need me to do next?"

Chang Delin said in a low voice: "In the first battle of Xinyang Prefecture, Li Zicheng and his wife Mrs. Gao disappeared. The eldest princess Mo Jiuniang commanded the dark line of the scout camp to work hard, but she has not found them until now, and she only knew the reason after catching Niu Jinxing this time. ”

"According to the information provided by Niu Jinxing, the route of the division of troops to break through at that time should be that Li Zicheng and Mrs. Gao should enter the depths of the Huoying Mountains. Because Niu Jinxing leaked the news, Kong Youde ordered Shen Zhixiang to go east immediately. ”

"It is a great merit to catch Li Zicheng, Kong Youde wants to catch it, Geng Zhongming certainly wants to catch it, and Azig and Duoduo don't dare to take it lightly. News came from the dark line of the eldest princess Mo Jiuniang, and they found the female soldiers of Mrs. Gao's healthy women's battalion on the front line of Jigong Mountain, and rescued thirty-nine people. ”

"I see. Chige smiled slightly: "The emperor wants us to turn around and go east and enter the Huoying Mountains to find Mrs. Gao, right?"

Chang Delin shook his head: "Not only will General Feilong immediately turn around and head east, but the 20,000 elite horsemen I brought will also obey your command to go east." The search for Madame Gao is only a superficial task, and it is also to attract the attention of the enemy, and covering the retreat of our army to the south is the fundamental purpose. ”

Chige was taken aback: "The army is retreating south?

Chang Delin's face suddenly became gloomy: "No why, something big happened in Jiangnan." The specifics are not clear, anyway, our front simply cannot continue to develop north. Not only can it not develop to the north, but it must also immediately retreat to the south of the Yangtze River. ”
