Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 664 Chapter 660 Four: Fallen
Zhang Xiliang stood behind the line of defense, holding up his binoculars and watching the soldiers and horses approaching quietly.

All the soldiers on the defense line also geared up and stared at them.

At this moment, for these reserve soldiers and horses, these soldiers and horses rushing over are no longer human beings, but soldiers who can walk one by one.

Sun Chengzong's soldiers and horses were getting closer and closer to the defense line, and their speed was getting slower and slower.

These soldiers and horses are all soldiers and horses who came to test and lure, so the closer to the line of defense, the slower the speed.

When these soldiers and horses were less than 200 meters away from the defense line, Zhang Xiliang gave the order to attack.

For a while, there was loud gunfire, and the howling of 40 fire continued.

The bullets flew over with these reserve soldiers' enthusiasm for credit.

The reserve soldiers fought for seven or eight minutes, and the soldiers and horses who came to test turned around and ran away.

Zhang Xiliang looked at the soldiers and horses who were running away again, and kept cursing, "Damn it, really damn it, run away, run away. It's endless, endless, I want to make some credit. Is it really that difficult? What a fart you guys are!"

Zhang Xiliang kept patting his thighs, yelling and cursing in frustration.

It didn't take long for these soldiers and horses who came to test out the attack range of Zhang Xiliang and the others.

After these soldiers and horses ran out of the attack range, they ran away.

"Damn it, damn it, no credit at all!"

"It's really bad luck, it's really bad luck, are these people rabbits? What are they running for!"

"These are all military exploits, why did they just run away like this?"

The defenders above the line of defense started discussing one after another, venting their inner dissatisfaction.

The previous company commander ran up to Zhang Xiliang, "My lord, what kind of battle are you talking about? If we continue to fight like this, what merit do we have? Why don't we go home and pick up the children."

"What do you mean by that? Do you think I am willing? These people ran away, what can I do? Is it possible to catch up?" Zhang Xiliang scolded with a frown.

At this time, all the company commanders on the defensive line ran in front of Zhang Xiliang.

"My lord, we can't go on like this. This battle is an opportunity for us. If we grasp it, we can make a lot of military achievements, but if we don't grasp it, then we can only do it." Watching other people eat meat."

"Yes, my lord, these people are all rabbits, and they run fast. In addition, our place is too remote, this time the enemy has escaped, who knows if it will appear again next time, if not , then we really have no credit.”

"My lord, the Imperial Guards don't lack military merits, but we lack them. Now that His Majesty is attacking the city and plundering the land, it is estimated that after the entire world is conquered, he will be rewarded according to meritorious deeds. How can we live without any merit?"

These company commanders surrounded Zhang Xiliang, complaining all over the place.

Zhang Xiliang looked at these company commanders, and shouted: "What do you mean by these words? Do you mean that I will lead you to chase after them? Don't forget, the military order above prohibits us from entering the mountains to pursue them. I took you into the mountains to pursue, and when the time comes, the higher-ups will blame me, can I, the battalion commander, still do it?"

"But my lord, if we just let the enemy army escape like this, what should we do brothers? These brothers didn't get any credit for their achievements. If they go back then, they will definitely be stabbed in the back.

Besides, our place is remote, we just need to chase in quietly and come back before dark, as long as no one finds out, everything will be fine. "

"Yes, my lord, as long as we sneak in and capture some people back, then everything will be fine."

These company commanders chattered and tried to persuade Zhang Xiliang.

"Hmph, talking nonsense, to put it lightly. Is it that easy to chase down the enemy army because of the high mountains and dangerous roads? Don't forget, we are not the guards, and the weapons in the army are not as many as theirs, and there are forests. If we stop it, can we really capture the enemy so easily?" Zhang Xiliang retorted.

"My lord, you can't say that. Although our weapons don't dare to compare with those of the guards, they are still much more powerful than the enemy's. As long as we go into the mountains and pursue them, we will surely capture many prisoners. At that time, as long as we are conservative This secret, after the war is over, this is a real credit.

If we do nothing, let these enemy troops escape like this.Once the war is over, we will have nothing when we go back, and we will never have such a good opportunity again.

My lord, think about it, if we take more prisoners and make more contributions, we might even be recruited into the regular army.

As long as you join the regular army, what kind of credit is there?My lord, think twice! "

……

These company commanders persuaded Zhang Xiliang one by one, and tried their best to persuade Zhang Xiliang to agree with them to pursue the enemy.

Even the soldiers on the defense line looked at Zhang Xiliang eagerly.

Zhang Xiliang's eyes swept over these people one by one.

At this time, Zhang Xiliang's heart was very tangled.

If you don't pursue the enemy army, it means that the credit for getting it is gone, and when the merits are rewarded in the future, they will have nothing to do.

But if you pursue the enemy, that is battlefield disobedience.

In Xuanzhen, disobedience on the battlefield is not a small crime.If the higher-ups knew about the pursuit of the enemy this time, and if a lot of enemy troops were captured, the punishment might be less.

But if you don't get anything, you will be dismissed from office and put in prison.If the enemy broke through the line of defense at this time, Zhang Xiliang could not escape death.

Zhang Xiliang kept thinking about all the powerful relationships involved.

"But what if the enemy breaks through our defense line after we rush in, what should we do?" Looking at the company commanders, Zhang Xiliang asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, no, these enemy troops are not our opponents at all. How dare they break through our defense line at this time? You can tell from their appearance that they have no courage.

Moreover, we went in for a little while, and they had no time to break through our defense. "

"My lord, give an order quickly, it's getting late."

Under the persuasion of these company commanders, Zhang Xiliang finally made up his mind.

He gritted his teeth and was heartbroken, "Remember, we only go in for an hour, and there should not be too many people, the rest of us must stay here.

Furthermore, this matter is not allowed to be spread outside the public, if it is found out by the higher authorities, even if we take credit for it, it will have no effect. "

"Understood, don't worry, my lord. We will definitely listen to you."

"That's right, don't worry, my lord."

These company commanders promised again and again.

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements. All companies, eighty people from each company will rush in after me, and the rest will stay here. Remember, when it gets dark, you must come back regardless of whether you have gained or not!" Zhang Xi Liang said with a worried face.

"understand!"

"As ordered!"

A moment later, under Zhang Xiliang's arrangement, the company commanders led the soldiers and rushed forward, into the forest.

These people have a lot of energy in their hearts, so when they are very fast.

It didn't take long before they encountered a group of soldiers and horses.

This army is very strange, there are only more than 100 people.These people were sitting and resting in an open space. When they saw these people rushing over, they were startled for a while, and then smiled with a successful plot.

"Brothers, run away!" The leading general looked at Zhang Xiliang and the others who were rushing over, shouted excitedly, and then ran forward with his soldiers and horses.

While running, he looked at a messenger who was following him, "Inform General Wang that the troops here are tricked, and now I'll take them around the mountains and ask General Wang to lead the rest of the troops quickly. Break through this line of defense."

"Obey!" The orderly shouted, and then ran in another direction.

Zhang Xiliang looked at the fleeing soldiers and horses ahead, although he was a bit puzzled, but before he had time to think too much, he led the soldiers and horses to chase after them.

Zhang Xiliang and the others chased farther and farther away.

At this time, a fully armed army suddenly appeared in front of the line of defense Zhang Xiliang was in charge of.

Wang Shangde is the General Wang whom the previous leader asked to notify.

Wang Shangde was riding a war horse, looking at the front line of defense, the smile on his face became wider and wider.

Beside him are his personal guards, and behind him are about 1000 soldiers and horses.

Wang Shangde was the general in charge of breaking through Zhang Xiliang. Previously, he had been luring Zhang Xiliang's soldiers and horses, and he hadn't shown his true strength.

Originally, he thought that it would take at least two or three days to lure these soldiers and horses into the forest, but he did not expect to succeed so soon.

Wang Shangde looked at the front line of defense, drew out the weapon in his hand, pointed at the front line of defense, and shouted: "Zhao thief's weapon is powerful, pay attention to spread out when charging, and don't stay close together.

When charging, try to charge forward in the woods next to you, and don't rush forward blindly. "

After Wang Shangde finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the soldiers in front of him, "Death Squad, come out!"

The voice fell, and about 300 soldiers in fine armor stood up.

"According to reliable sources, there are not many people in the front line of defense. Now, you are at the very center and at the front, attracting the opponent's firepower.

The imperial court spent a lot of money to support you, and now it's time to serve the imperial court. "Wang Shangde's voice was resounding, and it kept ringing in the ears of members of the Death Squad.

These death squads were specially assigned to him by Sun Chengzong before, and they were soldiers trained by Sun Chengzong a long time ago.

"Ming wins!" Wang Shangde raised the waist knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Daming Wansheng, Daming Wansheng!"

The death squads also shouted in unison, and the cheers quickly spread to other soldiers.

For a time, the cheers were overwhelming.

After Wang Shangde finished speaking, he turned around and came to the side of the soldiers. The knife in his hand pointed at the front line of defense, and he shouted hysterically, "Death Squad, kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

Wearing heavy armor, the Death Squad rushed forward roaring.

At this time, the soldiers and horses staying on the defense line also discovered them.

There are about 300 people in a reserve battalion. Just now, Zhang Xiliang took away almost 240 people. Now there are only more than 60 people left on the defense line.Moreover, the number of weapons in the hands of these people is not many.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack!" A soldier looked at the rushing soldiers and horses, and shouted in a panic.

He hurriedly picked up the light machine gun in his hand and aimed it forward.

The soldiers beside him also hurriedly prepared to launch.

After Wang Shangde's troops came into range, they pulled the trigger.

"Da da da!"

Bullets whistled continuously and flew forward.

When the gunshots sounded, Wang Shangde sent out the rest of the troops.

At this time, Zhang Xiliang was still chasing and killing with his subordinates, but Zhang Xiliang felt that something was wrong after chasing and chasing.

When this group of soldiers and horses fled, they were too orderly, and they didn't look like they were routed at all.

Moreover, these soldiers and horses have been leading their side to the depths of the mountain.

Although the soldiers and horses in the reserve service are named reserve service, their training is also in accordance with the regular army.

Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for something like today's Zhang Xiliang to happen.However, everything is not absolute.

As the saying goes, when a person has seen the light, he cannot bear the darkness.

Zhang Xiliang's subordinates are exactly like this. Usually, they have no way to make meritorious service, so they don't think about it.

But this time, they have the means and the strength to make meritorious deeds. Sun Chengzong's soldiers and horses have been testing them before, and they have been able to make meritorious service several times.

Now, under the leadership of Zhang Xiliang, they rushed in. When they saw the achievements of walking, their brains were filled with excitement, and their hearts were burned with excitement.At this moment, they are all focused on these walking achievements, how can they care about other things?
Sun Chengzong's army led them farther and farther.

At this time, Zhang Xiliang and the others also heard the sudden gunshot.

Zhang Xiliang's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He looked in the direction of the defense line and shouted: "It's not good, I've been tricked, I've been tricked."

"Quickly make everyone stop and follow me back!" Zhang Xiliang held the big black star and fired several shots into the sky.

At this time, Zhang Xiliang was deeply regretful, and he regretted issuing such a military order very much.If the line of defense is intact, although they will be punished, it will not be serious.If the defense line is breached, it will be completely over.

After the soldiers who were chasing the enemy army heard the gunshots from the defense line and Zhang Xiliang's order, their fiery hearts dissipated quite a bit.

Under the command of these officers at all levels, Zhang Xiliang's troops quickly gathered and retreated.

But at this moment, the rout soldiers who were leading them to the depths of the mountain suddenly changed direction and rushed towards them when they saw them retreating.

The purpose of these soldiers is very simple, that is to hold back Zhang Xiliang and the others so that Wang Shangde can break through the line of defense.
