Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 529
At this time, the nickname "Crazy He" really came out.

He looks like a crazy tiger, he will kill wherever there are many people, and facing his enemies directly, it is often very miserable. When he cuts vegetables and melons with his Xuanhua axe, his death is extremely miserable. When people see it, the timid will be silent. feeling.

What kind of general, what kind of soldiers.

When He Renlong lost his temper, all his subordinates also became angry.

The circular formation changed, divided into four fronts, and fought in the four directions of east, west, north and south.

"Kill..."

Many court soldiers were dripping with blood, their whole bodies seemed to be dyed red, like killing gods, and they didn't know if it was their own blood or the blood of the enemy, they were still fighting.

The deterrent power of this kind of fighting, on this battlefield, is really shocking.

Not all chieftain soldiers are elite, and not all chieftain soldiers are the same as the white pole army, the kind who are not afraid of death and can fight Jianlu to the end.

He Renlong led his men to fight back for a while, the chieftain soldiers in front of him couldn't resist at first, and retreated one after another.

This kind of fight is really a narrow road where the brave wins. Once the chieftain soldiers show their cowardice, it is easier for He Renlong to win, which in turn causes the chieftain soldiers to avoid He Renlong's side one after another, and finally turned into a rout. The dragon is as far away as possible.

Those who were killed by He Renlong lost their arms and legs, crying miserably, which shook their determination to fight.

"Kill..."

Seeing the opportunity, He Renlong yelled and chased and killed the chieftain soldiers who were fleeing.

When the Tusi soldiers saw it, they fled even more flustered. They just wanted to stay away, no matter where they fled!
The thieves were fighting, and saw the chieftain soldiers fleeing towards them and collided with them, destroying their offensive at once.

Seeing the court officers and soldiers chasing after them, what should we do?
Fight to the death?Resist the offensive of the imperial army for the chieftain soldiers?

How can it be!

For most thieves, there is no belief in a deadly battle at all!
Ambush the court officers and soldiers, if they think they can win, they will fight!

However, the war is getting into a frenzy, and the morale of the court officers and soldiers is still facing the offensive. Whoever blocks it will really die?
Only a fool will continue to kill knowing that he will die!

If you are killed by the imperial army, then you will have nothing!
Some old thieves among the thieves are the fastest at seeing an opportunity, so if they dare to block the guns for the chieftain soldiers, you will run away and I will run away too!
In the battle between the two armies, once one side collapses, even if it is only a small part, the companions who are fighting cannot see the overall situation, and it is easy to think that the whole army is retreating, so they collapse together.

In this case, unless the general in charge of the overall situation sees it and sends a force to resist the collapse, it is possible to regain stability.

However, in the fight in front of us, it was in the valley and jungle. Although the bandits still had a new force, they didn't respond in time because of the obstruction of the terrain.

The disintegration of the chieftain soldiers led to the disintegration of the bandits. In the end, the entire coalition of chieftains and bandits broke up and fled into the mountains one after another.

Because they knew that once they fled into the mountains, they would be able to escape and ascend to heaven, which was also one of the important reasons why they were so broken.

He Renlong wasn't really crazy, he didn't lose his mind and chase into the woods, but immediately assembled his troops.

His subordinates immediately moved closer to the Chinese army and reorganized the front using the vans accompanying the army.

The muskets and artillery were reloaded, and the dead and wounded soldiers were dragged into the formation and placed on the vans, and the whole army retreated slowly.

On the top of the mountain, the bandit leader and the chieftain who watched this scene were all dumbfounded.

Today is the real experience of the elite of the court officers and soldiers.

If chieftain Wan Hongwu was still unclear, Li Zicheng knew very well what the key to this battle was!
Armor, damn it!

All the officers and soldiers of the imperial court wore iron armor on their bodies, which was extremely strong.With the armor on the body, the courage will be greater, the fight will be fierce, and the morale will be high!This is also the reason why all dynasties and dynasties allowed folks to have bows, arrows, knives and guns, but never allowed private possession of armor!

But what Li Zicheng didn't know was that the morale of the court officials and soldiers was so high in this battle, not just because of the armor.

All the officers and soldiers of the imperial court knew that even if they died in battle, they could still enter the Hall of Loyalty and become imperial court loyalists.

In addition, He Renlong's imperial army is more eager for military merit than other imperial army.Because they were punished before, they hoped to prove themselves again with their military exploits. They hadn't fought before, so they kept holding back.

At this time, watching the imperial court officers and troops forming an formation below, they slowly retreated.Chieftain Wan Hongwu came back to his senses, and immediately became anxious, and quickly said to Li Zicheng: "Why are you still standing there? Stop them, don't let them run away!"

When he said this, Li Zicheng came back to his senses, and immediately said with a sullen face: "It wasn't your people who fled, could it be like this? Shouldn't you send someone to intercept your people? It will be no problem to cooperate with you!"

There is a saying that the trapped beasts are still fighting. At this time, the imperial army is retreating. If they want to intercept them on their way of retreat, it will inevitably lead to a crazy counterattack by the imperial army. If you think about it with your toes, you know that the intercepting team must be the one with the most casualties. disastrous.

In the past, the reason why no interception team was sent in the back was because of this point, and no one wanted to bear the greatest casualties.

In addition, if there is no intercepting team on the way back, the imperial court army is likely to flee first, which will cause a chasing and killing situation. This is the easiest way to annihilate the imperial court army.

It's just a pity that the court officers and soldiers did not run away first, but formed an formation to meet the enemy, which exceeded their expectations.

At this time, Wan Hongwu was not happy when he heard Li Zicheng's words, so he said with a downcast face: "You came to me and said that we joined forces to resist the imperial court, shouldn't it be reasonable for you to contribute more? You didn't Seeing that my subordinates suffered heavy casualties, how do you stop them? Didn’t you have some subordinates who didn’t fight, didn’t you just send them to intercept them?”

As far as the terrain of the battlefield is concerned, it is impossible to deploy troops.Therefore, although the coalition forces of Li Zicheng and Chieftain were large, they could only devote part of them to fight.

More than half of Li Zicheng's men were unable to fight.What Wan Hongwu meant was to let Li Zicheng send all his men down.

Seeing that the two leaders were arguing and the atmosphere was very disharmonious, Song Xiance began to persuade him: "The morale has been lost, and it is meaningless to fight again. If the new reinforcements are sent, the mountain roads will be inconvenient, and it will be too late. Besides, all the officials and soldiers of the imperial court Passers-by and horses are not far apart, and it will be detrimental to our army if we keep dragging on."

Having said that, he checked the faces of the two leaders, and then continued: "Although this battle did not completely wipe out the imperial army, it did a great deal of damage, and the goal of deterring the imperial court has been achieved. we won!"

"Yes, yes, we have already won!" Seeing Niu Jinxing, he quickly echoed and eased the atmosphere.

After hearing this, Li Zicheng remained silent, and just looked down at the imperial army at the foot of the mountain, like a hedgehog with fried hair, retreating slowly in formation.

After hearing this, chieftain Wan Hongwu also took a look at the court officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, "hummed", turned around and left without saying anything else.

Obviously, the so-called winning is just putting gold on one's face. This battle is at best a draw.

However, from the well-prepared ambush battle to the final battle like this, to a certain extent, only thick-skinned people can say that no one wins or loses.

When the chieftain saw that the chieftain had left, they all followed the chieftain. In the end, only Li Zicheng's people were left on the hill.

Watching them disappear into the woods, Niu Jinxing approached the gloomy Li Zicheng, and asked in a low voice, "How about..."

While speaking, he stretched out one hand to form a palm, and then made a chopping gesture.

The cooperation between the two parties is obviously a little unhappy.In this case, swallow this toast.

Li Zicheng heard this, but before he could respond, Song Xiance next to him quickly interjected, "No, absolutely no!"

When Niu Jinxing heard this, he was a little unhappy, and immediately said: "What's wrong, if you dare to make the general unhappy, just kill him. It's not like we didn't kill the chieftain before!"

In the southwest of Huguang Province, the chieftains there were looted by Li Zicheng's bandits.

After Song Xiance heard this, he was afraid that Li Zicheng would agree, so he hurriedly explained: "One moment and another moment! This time, we formed an alliance with Wanhongwu. If the reputation of annexing him spreads, then this southwest border will never be seen by other chieftains. Maybe they have cooperated with us. If we want to gain a foothold in the southwest, we must form an alliance with many chieftains!"

When he was outside Yunnan and Guizhou, Li Zicheng annexed Luo Rucai's troops, and the other thieves did not dare to join forces with Li Zicheng; in the same way, if Li Zicheng swallowed the chieftain who was an ally, what would the other chieftains think?
Regarding this truth, when Song Xiance said this, Li Zicheng also came back to his senses, and immediately decided to say: "Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as this kind of bumpkin. Let's go, leave here, and move on. He ambushed the imperial army, the imperial court I won’t spare him, just to block the imperial army for us!”

"The general is wise!" Song Xiance heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and quickly flattered him.

Seeing this, Niu Jinxing was also helpless, and followed his flattery against his will.

As a result, the bandits under Li Zicheng began to clean up the battlefield, preparing to leave.

On the fiercest battlefield before, there were all the corpses of thieves and chieftain soldiers, as well as the corpses of imperial court officers and soldiers, all of which were taken away.

Every thief who cleaned the battlefield was saddened to see this scene.For their future, feel even more slim.

On He Renlong's side, he was always highly nervous, retreating slowly, ready to deal with the pursuit of the bandits and chieftain soldiers.

I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until Zeng Yingbu rushed over to meet him from the back road that he was relieved.
