Aspiration

Chapter 53 Fierce Battle

Liu Zongmin went crazy. After two days of beating, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.He lost more than 1000 corpses in that canyon, and left more than 2000 wounded and sick. There has never been such a tragic battle. In a place one or two hundred steps away, including officers and soldiers, more than 2000 people died. story high.Isn't this crazy what is it?
Liu Zongmin is crazy, and Cao Bianjiao is also crazy.

"Your grandma's!" Liu Zongmin found that Cao Bianjiao was there to organize a counterattack, he shouted and rushed over.

Cao Bianjiao was also furious, you, Liu Zongmin, you are desperate, I don't want to live anymore!He also rushed over with a big knife.

Bing Yong, who was standing between them, saw it, said "Oh my god", and hurriedly dispersed, leaving a blank space between them.In a blink of an eye, the two war horses passed by in a flash, and they both rushed over their heads.At the moment when their war horses crossed each other, the two big knives intersected with each other, and the arms of the two desperate people felt numb.Fighting again, the two horses did not have time to stop, turned sharply, turned and charged.

Liu Zongmin didn't hide or dodge, he swung his big knife and slashed at Cao Bianjiao's head.

Cao Bianjiao sneered, "Huh, courting death!" His broadsword stabbed at Liu Zongmin's chest and abdomen.

"Oops!"

Li Zicheng exclaimed.No one can replace Liu Zongmin's position in his heart.

"Prepare the horse!"

Li Zicheng shouted.

In the distance, Liu Zongmin and Cao Bianjiao fell from their horses at the same time.

"Chuangwang! No way!" Li Laiheng's soldiers beside Li Zicheng stopped him.

"Those who disobey the order will be beheaded! Prepare the horse!" Li Zicheng shouted.

"We are ordered by General Li to protect King Chuang."

Li Laiheng's personal soldiers surrounded King Chuang, not letting anyone approach him, let alone let him leave the customs.King Chuang was furious, and asked, are you against it?

Li Laiheng's personal soldier said flatly, King Chuang, you kill me better than General Li. Yesterday, when I left General Li, General Li said, you take a step out of the customs, and I will take my life to go to work.King Chuang, the lives of our little soldiers are not worth it, but General Li Laiheng said, you will definitely respect his opinion.

Li Zicheng was silent.

He does respect his opinion.

Liu Zongmin fell off his horse heavily, his armor was stained red with blood, and his belly was pierced.He was snatched out of the core by the soldiers.Cao Bianjiao's thick armor was cut open, and the muscles on his back were exposed, stretching and contracting with Cao Bianjiao's movements.He was also robbed into his own formation.

Each loses the main general, and the battles are intertwined.

Liu Fangliang led his troops to arrive.The officers and soldiers retreated.

However, the officers and soldiers were not defeated, and Cao Bianjiao's troops lived up to their reputation, retreating in an orderly manner without a trace of chaos.

Liu Fangliang tried to wash it a few times, but it was very sticky and tough, and she couldn't move it.The officers and soldiers retreated to the mountain north of Shimen Valley, stopped retreating, and began to regroup.

Do not allow the enemy to hold their ground.

The rebels know this truth.Now it is still the enemy is many and we are few, the enemy is strong and we are weak.The rebel army led by Liu Fangliang was exhausted. He wanted to drive the troops to rush, but they couldn't.

It doesn't work if you don't rush.Even desperately want to disperse the officers and soldiers.

"attack!"

Thousands of rebels charged again.

"Oops! The enemy counterattacked." Li Zicheng stood on the wall and exclaimed.

Sure enough, the rush of the officers and soldiers was too fierce.A white-faced general stood on the hillside. He replaced Cao Bianjiao, waving a red flag, and he was directing the counterattack.Human heads, knives and guns, and banners are all over the mountains and plains.

Li Zicheng shook his head and sighed, "I lost, I lost badly."

With years of experience on the battlefield, there is no hope of victory.Li Zicheng sighed and said, "For this part of the battle, I have tried my best. There is no way, I am outnumbered, and I can't force it."

Just thinking about it, the officers and soldiers who disappeared just now rushed into the formation of officers and soldiers again, and they were like a sharp knife straight at the main formation of officers and soldiers.

Just now, this strange army of officers and soldiers rushed the officers and soldiers to pieces, and rushed to the back of the mountain.Now they turned back again, and he rushed directly to the main formation of the white-faced general.

This formation is very familiar, and Li Laiheng often uses this formation.These are Li Laiheng's generals, although they are not many, only about two hundred, but they are unstoppable, they rushed up the hillside very quickly, only thirty or fifty steps away from the white-faced general.

Li Zicheng's heart was pounding.I cried out in my heart: Wang Si, come on, cut off that man's head.

Originally, the defeat was set, but now there is a glimmer of hope.

However, just as Wang Si was approaching the white-faced general, he was also stuck.A phalanx of spears formed by more than fifty sturdy infantrymen, with cold light pointed towards Wang Si's direction.It is not easy to carve a bloody path in the gun forest.Wang Si's team was blocked.The success fell short, and Wang Si knew that if we didn't break through this phalanx today, we would have no chance to win.

Fight!

If you can't break through above, go to a higher level.

"Hookline."

The hooks used to climb the city wall have been turned into meteor hammers, which is freshly dispatched, two times three makes six, three hooks for every ten people, and sixty for 200 people, and sixty hooks are thrown at the infantry phalanx at the same time.Overwhelming iron hooks and ropes fell from the sky, and fifty infantrymen were at a loss, calling indiscriminately, how could it be effective?Before they had time to make a second call, the back of their necks and vests were in severe pain, and the sharp iron hooks hooked into their muscles, and then they were pulled hard again, and they all rose into the air.

Wang Si's legs tightened, he urged his horse up, and stretched out his hand to grab it, and the white-faced general was lifted over the horse.

"kill!"

"kill!"

Liu Fangliang and Gao Yigong shouted in unison.

Then came the "Kill!" resounding through the sky.

It is impossible for the officers and soldiers to remain in chaos.Once again, the army was defeated like a mountain, and the army chased for more than [-] miles before they blew the gong and retreated.

Just when the officers and soldiers were routed, a team of 200 people mixed into the rout soldiers, and they followed the rout soldiers for another [-] miles before stopping at the officers and soldiers village fifty miles away from Shimen Valley.

This is Luo Hu's team.

According to Li Laiheng's instructions, they waited for an opportunity in the north of Shimen Valley.

Luo Hu didn't participate in the big battle, they were going to rob the camp and rob the big camp.

Paoma Mountain, during the Warring States Period, the Qin State had a large army stationed here. It is a military fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.This is the base camp of officers and soldiers in the direction of Hotan, more than fifty miles away from Hotan City.Cao Bianjiao is a famous warrior. He has no habit of staying in the base camp to command operations. He always likes to be stationed on the front line with the army. Therefore, in his camp, only ordinary civilians and reserve troops are stationed, and there are also a large number of military supplies. .

Inside the gate of Cao Bianjiao, a large "Cao" banner rustled in the evening wind.Other than that, it seemed a little cold here, and he himself had been escorted to Xi'an by elite soldiers.

Luo Hu's two hundred soldiers and horses became patrols.They patrolled Cao Bianjiao's barracks on Paoma Shan.

In Shimen Valley, pigs and sheep are slaughtered.

After a big battle, especially after a big victory, the soldiers must have a binge drinking.The first thing people think about after the catastrophe is how to enjoy life. Now, the only thing they can think about is eating.

Liu Zongmin was seriously injured, with a long gash in his abdomen. Fortunately, his internal organs were not broken, so his life is not in danger yet.

Li Zicheng comforted Liu Zongmin for a while, and all the generals also came to visit him. All the soldiers were moved by his heroic spirit.Li Zicheng looked at Liu Zongmin who had lost too much blood, and was both moved and grateful.

"Chairman, take good care of your illness, thanks to you." Li Zicheng hesitated to speak, what could he say?With regard to human nature and ability, how can one blame others for perfection?People are desperate, for what?For me, Li Zicheng.

"Li Guo and them," Liu Zongmin was angrily.Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Li Zicheng's gesture.

"Chief whistle, I know, Li Guo and his son are too much, I know how to deal with it. Wu Ruyi, go to Xi'an to find Liu Tichun, there must be a very good doctor in Xi'an, invite me to come, or kidnap one if you don't come. , get some valuable medicinal materials by the way, Master Liu's injury must be cured as soon as possible." Li Zicheng said.

Wu Ruyi took the order and went out to prepare.

Li Zicheng ordered other people to go out as well, and then said to Liu Zongmin: "General sentinel, I was kidnapped this time, and there are some problems. From now on, we must clearly stipulate that the commander-in-chief of the entire army must have a perfect plan. In case the commander-in-chief has If there is an accident, there must be a successor. If it is clear, this situation will not happen this time. Are you right?"

Liu Zongmin's eyes lit up, and then his eyes became moist, and he choked up and said, "Yes, Brother Li is so right. This time, it's almost over."

Li Zicheng smiled, patted Liu Zongmin on the shoulder, and said: "You rest and take care of yourself. I want them to invite the best doctors to help you heal your injuries. After returning to the old camp, there are still very important things to do with you." You discuss it. Now, I have to go out and arrange some things." After speaking, he called Liu Zongmin's head of the guards in and gave some orders, asking them to be soft and transport Liu Zongmin back to the old camp overnight for treatment and recuperation.

The lights in the pass are brightly lit, and the carnival is still going on.

Don't worry about the enemy's robbing the camp today, and the enemy's disastrous defeat. Even if they want to counterattack, it will be ten days later, not to mention that there is a prudent person who has arranged for tonight's defense.Gao Yigong set up floating sentries within a radius of ten miles, and would notify the fire department whenever there was any movement.

Eating meat, drinking wine, guessing boxing games, gambling on wine, talking foul and rambunctious, it was so lively.

"Fire!"

Someone exclaimed on the wall.

Li Zicheng was startled, the enemy still has the ability to rob the camp tonight?He boarded the Eagle Watch and looked into the distance. It was not real, but there was a faint fire.Tonight is clear and cloudless, and the sky in the direction of Hotan in the north is red.It is now the third watch, and there should be no sunset, but fire.

It's far away, based on experience, it should be fifty miles away.It can be seen for fifty miles, what a big fire.

In the report of the watch post, there was a fire near Paoma Mountain in the north.

Happy Horse Mountain?
The base camp of the enemy.Could it be that reinforcements from the brigade came?Or, the enemy moved camp?

"Gao Yigong, how far is the sentry post?" Li Zicheng asked.

"Thirty miles."

"Well. Put the sentry far away, at least fifty miles."

"Gu Ying! Send the sentry far away, fifty miles away. In the direction of Hotan, send out the sentry for a hundred miles." Gao Yigong understood Li Zicheng's meaning.He was eager to know the enemy's situation in the north.This kind of fire light is abnormal, it is a mountain fire, or a bright city.The so-called bright city means that the enemy army is approaching, and when the defenders abandon the city, they will burn the city with fire.Of course, it is impossible to brighten the city of Hotan.

Several hours later, a group of cavalry appeared in front of Shimen Valley Pass.

Luo Hu is back.

Luo Hu and the others burned almost half of the enemy camp.The fire in the enemy camp on Paoma Mountain probably won't be extinguished for a day.

Luo Hu did not set the fire this time in a hurry. They were carefully designed and organized. They pretended to be patrols for a while, and for a while they pretended to be a supply camp. They were busy for several hours. Hundreds of people came to help them carry firewood.After everything was fully prepared, they were not in a hurry, and when the night was quiet and everyone was sleeping peacefully, they divided up into several places, and in the upper hand, they burned the fire vigorously and fiercely, and finally left the camp without haste.

Li Zicheng looked at the childish Luo Hu, smiled, and thought to himself, Li Laiheng treated Wang Si and Luo Hu so well that they would all be founding fathers in the future.

In Baiyangdian, Li Laiheng's mind is full of the battle scene in Shimen Valley.Although he didn't know the specific situation, he knew that the emotional Liu Zongmin could not be undefeated, nor could he rescue Li Zicheng.

I hope Wang Si and Luo Hu can take on this important task.

Li Laiheng stood on the wall of Baiyangdian Village, and stood for three hours.

"General, the army has reported." Lao Jiu came up and took an oiled paper package from a pigeon's leg.

News from Shimen Valley.

Liu Zongmin was seriously injured.Wang Si captured the enemy general alive.The enemy was routed for fifty miles.

"Ha. I finally saw the desired result. Although the price is a bit high."

Li Laiheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Ninth, I guess there will be good news tomorrow morning. The enemy camp at Paoma Mountain may be burned to the ground by Luo Hu."

Lao Jiu laughed, but he also had bad news to tell him.

"General, the news from Zhang Xianzhong's side is not very good. Agate Mountain was robbed by Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong suffered heavy losses, only Xu Yixian was left as a civil servant, and several other counselors who came from Juren were either killed or dispersed. Only two of my aunts were with me, two of the other seven were killed, one jumped off the cliff, and four were captured alive. His two-year-old son also fell off the cliff and died." Lao Jiu told Li Laiheng the information he had just received.

Li Laiheng was shocked, he had expected this day, but he didn't expect to lose so badly.

"How many troops are left?"

"Zhang Kewang's 2 elite troops are intact. The total casualties and dispersal of this battle are about 3. The total force is now more than [-]."

There is no small force.Where will Zhang Xianzhong go after the defeat of Manao Mountain in the First World War?
Sichuan, or western Hubei, and possibly southern Shaanxi.

This is very important information.

If Zhang Xianzhong was in western Hubei or southern Shaanxi, then Yang Sichang's main force would move north.If Zhang Xianzhong went to Sichuan, before Yang Sichang entered Sichuan, he would have to give Shangluo Mountain Li Zicheng a fatal urgency to atone for the sin of Shangluo Mountain's defeat.

Chuang Wang's department will face crisis again.

Before he could catch his breath, he faced the siege again after the war, an unexpected situation.
