Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

In addition, the temporary retreat of the officers and soldiers and the cessation of the siege of the city, for the bandit soldiers in the city, is undoubtedly a change from hell to heaven. At least, they no longer have to fight under the bombardment of artillery, and can find a safe place to hide.

However, before they could enjoy this rare security, amidst the roar of artillery fire, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded, which also suddenly made the city in the middle of the war noisy again.

Under the influence of various inadvertent factors, the original strategy of staying stubbornly turned into an active attack.

The army was assembled and ready to go. Looking at the city gate that had been completely sealed in front of him, Li Zicheng took a deep breath and shouted: "Open the city gate!"

At the command of the army, a group of soldiers swarmed up with picks and shovels, opened the city gates that had been sealed with bricks and stones since the two villages outside the city were breached, and finally opened the city gates wide open!

"It really came out!"

Looking at the open city gate and the bandit army coming out of the city, Li Xiu couldn't help but chuckle, this is really an impermanent world.

Originally, he was still trying his best to win Fufeng City as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that a troop mobilization unrelated to this battle would actually seduce Li Zicheng out!

Glancing at the hundreds of cannons on the artillery positions in front of the army, Li Xiu's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a rare smile.

"Pass down the order, the whole army is preparing for war, remember, only defend, not attack!"

After the military order was issued, the smile on Li Xiu's mouth gradually disappeared as he watched Li Zicheng's army that had already left the city to line up.

The lion fights the rabbit, and he does his best, not to mention, a war where the enemy's troops are far superior to our own!

On the battlefield, he will not underestimate any opponent.

At this moment, as Li Zicheng's troops gave up their geographical advantages and went out of the city to fight, there is no doubt that the offensive and defensive momentum has also changed accordingly.

Unlike the Beijing army's attack, which was strictly and orderly, with tacit cooperation between the various ministries, Li Zicheng's attack was extremely disordered, and there was almost no tactical cooperation. .

"kill!"

"Catch Li Xiu alive!"

"Punish the treacherous officials! The Qing emperor's side!"

"Kill!"

The shouts and shouts went straight to the sky, and the mountains and seas of people were surging.

The momentum was mighty, like a comet hitting the earth, and finally hit the Beijing army barracks viciously.

The sea of ​​people is endless and turbulent. For the generals of the bandit army, it has nothing to do with whether they are afraid or not, the morale and morale of the army, and it has nothing to do with whether the soldiers are elite or not...

Even if you are afraid, even if you are desperate, there is no room for retreat under the turbulent push from behind.

One after another... to die!

The square inch of the wall of this village is like a bloody slaughterhouse, with firecrackers, spears, cannons, thunderbolts, all available means, recklessly harvesting the lives of the surging bandit soldiers.

Here, human life is worth nothing!

Its only function may be to consume a little energy of the soldiers of the Jing army in the village, or a few bullets...

Chapter 297 The Hunter

Ants kill elephants!

This kind of turbulence, one after another, undoubtedly brought into full play the numerical advantage that Li Zicheng's troops could not fully utilize because they were trapped in the city!

Gunpowder, blood, roar, despair...

"kill!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

Some soldiers of the Beijing army shouted loudly, even though he didn't know how much special meaning this sound of great Ming victory had.

However, the nature of the habit, it seems... like this, can make him slightly suppress the fear in his heart.

People are like machines, spears, through the gaps in the wall, one stroke, one stroke, no need for any aiming operation at all, each stroke must penetrate the human body and sway blood.

"transposition!"

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a loud shout in his ears. The soldier of the Beijing army subconsciously drew his spear and stood up, and retreated sideways. Behind him, a soldier also stepped forward with a spear to take over the vacant seat.

"Dali, hurry down and rest!"

"This battle still has to be fought!"

When the soldier stabbed the spear, he still didn't forget to turn around and shout.

"I know..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a splash of blood splashed on his face. The soldier who turned his head was hit by arrow clusters from an unknown direction, piercing his throat, and collapsed in an instant.

Niu Dali opened his mouth, and the turbulent sadness also surged out in an instant, but at this moment, the discipline of the branded instinct also came to mind in an instant.

"Paoze is killed in battle, and those who are close will fill in the vacancy!"

"what!"

With a roar that was almost crazy, Niu Dali rushed back to the wall where he was fighting just now, and practiced countless spear thrusts, one after another, reaping his life...

Of course, fighting hand in hand, while harvesting the enemy, will inevitably be harvested by the enemy!

A spear was given from the outside of the wall to pass through the gap in the shield of the wall, like a bull thrusting a spear vigorously, pierced into the body, and then pulled out quickly.

Blood gushed out, and under the severe pain, Niu Dali didn't even have time to react, all the strength in his body seemed to be sucked away in an instant, and his whole body, just like what he saw before, collapsed on the ground...

In his gradually blurred eyes, he only saw a figure, just as he strode forward just now, taking over his combat position...

"Those who died in battle will be compensated with a hundred taels of silver! Immediate relatives will be exempted from taxes for five years..."

"I deserve to die..."

……

"Let the forward battalions retreat alternately, pretending to be defeated!"

Li Xiu, who had been silent for more than an hour, suddenly looked up at the dusk sky, and the military order was issued immediately!

As the military orders were conveyed layer by layer, the line of defense that originally stood like a mountain in front of the turbulent turmoil also showed a little bit of incompetence.

In the end, it was on the verge of collapse, so the forward battalion, which stood in the front line, logically retreated and "retreated"!

"broken!"

"Come on!"

"The army is defeated!"

"The army is defeated!"

Among the turbulent bandit army, shouts of excitement suddenly spread, straight into the sky, and the morale of the army was greatly shaken!

Li Zicheng, who had been quite anxious since he led the army out of the city, felt as if he had taken a reassurance after seeing the army attacking the official army's stronghold, and finally let go of his worry!

"The old battalion will follow up, expand the advantage, and don't let the officers and soldiers counterattack!"

"Yongzi Battalion go to the artillery of the official army and seize the artillery. Remember, those artillery soldiers are of great use, and they must not kill them without permission!"

"The rest of the ministries are ready. Once the official army is defeated, they will immediately follow and kill them!"

A series of military orders were issued, and looking at the scene of the army retreating in defeat, even though he knew that this had only broken through the first line of defense of the army, Li Zicheng still couldn't help but laugh heartily!

This is the Beijing army that suppresses the world!

While enjoying himself, Li Zicheng subconsciously looked at the figure under the officer's banner who was still holding high the banner of the Chinese army.

Whether it's true or not, he doesn't care anymore.

The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real.

The strength of the official army is placed here. Excluding the many auxiliary battalion soldiers and horses, the number of soldiers capable of fighting is no more than 2.

In terms of strength, he has an absolute advantage.

In the current battle situation, he also has the advantage!

Up to now, Li Zicheng is looking forward to it. He is looking forward to this army. It is really the Duke of Qin who is leading it...

The bloodshed continued, and as time passed, as the sky became darker, this Beijing army, also under Li Xiu's command, retreated without leaving a trace.

Retreat is undoubtedly the thing that most tests a commander's command ability.

Throughout history, there are too many things that led to a complete collapse due to retreat.

Not to mention pretending to be defeated when the two armies clashed fiercely!

That is not only a test of the commander's command level, but also an extremely test of the cooperation and well-trained soldiers of an army at all levels!

Fortunately, this Beijing army is qualified and excellent.

The sky is getting darker, and the last rays of the setting sun dye the sky red. Li Xiu is like an experienced hunter, grasping just the right measure, seducing the prey bit by bit, letting him step into the deadly trap step by step middle.

Li Zicheng's army has nearly [-] troops. It is true that they have different orders and lax discipline. They can be regarded as a mob.

However, the composition of this mob is composed of rebels from the Weisuo and the confidants who accompanied Li Zicheng in the southern and northern wars.

Such a composition is naturally not comparable to those rogues carrying refugees. Similarly, no matter how mob there is, at least the nearly 10 people have a complete military organizational structure and basic military quality.

It is not so easy to deal with such an army.

According to Li Xiu's original plan, he was prepared to pay a high price for this. In other words, he was ready to bear the mass casualties of his own soldiers.

But now, as Li Zicheng led his army out of the city, the strategic plan naturally changed accordingly.

Lure the enemy to go deep, lengthen the battle line, and then cut off its head and tail!Defeat it!

So as to achieve the greatest victory at the least cost!

……

Fighting fiercely all night, almost at dawn, the already crazy bloody fighting, accompanied by sporadic breakups, soon turned into a large-scale retreat!

"Escape!"

"The officers and soldiers have escaped!"

"Won!"

"Kill!"

"Execute Li Xiu! Qing Jun side!"

Accompanied by the shouts that shook the sky, the turbulent bandit soldiers rushed towards the defeated officers and soldiers.

"Catch Li Xiu alive!"

Li Zicheng stared fixedly at the big banner of the officers and soldiers who were already in a panic. Li Zicheng's face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He drew out his big knife and shouted: "Whoever captures Li Xiu alive will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver. Promoted to three ranks!"

"kill!"

The sound of killing went straight to the sky. At this moment, if you look down from the sky, Li Zicheng's nearly [-] troops, with the defeat of the officers and troops, have already extended from a whole to the direction of the defeat of the officers and troops, and as the pursuit continues, this kind of The extension is also protruding more and more...

Chapter 298 The man in the red robe is Li Zicheng!

"The commander-in-chief has ordered that anyone who captures Li Xiu alive will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and be promoted to three ranks!"

The momentum of the pursuit was surging, and loud shouts sounded among them, which made the soldiers of the bandit army who came after them very excited.

The army was defeated all the way, the banner of food, grass and armaments was abandoned all the way, and many bandit soldiers also looted all the way, looting all the way down, the chasing that was close to disorder was even more chaotic.

It's just that, now that the official army is defeated all the way, and the glory of the victory is in sight, there will be few people who care about such details, not to mention that today's Li Zicheng's army is a combination of various rebel armies, and their orders are different. , fighting on their own.

When fighting a tough battle, you may even shirk and retreat for a while, but to plunder the results of the battle and grab the credit, everyone is scrambling for the first and last, for fear that the benefits will be taken by others!

At this moment, Li Xiu stood on the top of a mountain tens of miles away from Fufeng City, looking down, even without binoculars, he could clearly see the chaotic scene that stretched along the official road.

The so-called defeat is naturally a defeat along the official road, and the pursuit of the bandit army is also naturally a pursuit along the official road.

Chasing all the way, the whole bandit army was naturally stretched into a long dragon.

Coupled with the military equipment, money and food that Li Xiu specially ordered to drop, it made the bandit army's divisions that were already fighting on their own even more chaotic.

Nearly [-] troops, lined up and spread out, are naturally difficult to chew.

But if the battle line is stretched and stretched like this, and there is even internal strife for the capture...

"Command, all ministries attack!"

After uttering a few words indifferently, the worry hidden in Li Xiu's eyes suddenly dissipated a lot after uttering these words.

The saber was drawn out slowly, and the blade was held high. At this moment, the eight hundred guards behind Li Xiu also drew out their sabers.

The wind, at this moment, seems to freeze.

Battle flags, fluttering.
