The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

The descent was too difficult and the officers and soldiers could not escape quickly.

Many people fell down while walking, and some even fell into a ravine and could not get up for a while.

Wang Yingtai, Zhou Chengdong and others led the troops to the downhill area, and then they felt that it was more difficult to walk than they had imagined, especially when there were pursuers behind them.

Seeing that there were many trees and rocks around for cover, Wang Yingtai called to his servants: "It's difficult to escape like this. Let Zhou Chengdong and the others restrain the soldiers and fight back on the spot!"

Several servants immediately ran to Zhou Chengdong, Chen Gui and other generals to deliver orders.

Because of the barrier of the downhill terrain, the defeated army did not really break up.

Under the shouts of Wang Yingtai, Zhou Chengdong and others, hundreds of officers and soldiers were actually stopped, preparing to rely on the downhill terrain to counterattack.

At this time, Liu Sheng personally led the Tiger Artillery Team to arrive. Upon seeing this, he ordered: "Each artillery team looks for a suitable position and shoots at the place where there are many officers and soldiers!"

And he directly took out his revolver, chased after him, fired continuously, and killed several servants of the army and the army who were good at archery.

Several standing troops from behind also followed, and the crossbowmen shot arrows down the slope.

There are many trees and rocks blocking the descent, but it is also a disadvantage to go low and high, not to mention that it is not convenient to move.

When several squatting tiger cannons fired again, even if they didn't really kill a few people, the overwhelming amount of shotguns still frightened many officers and soldiers and they fled again.

This time, Wang Yingtai, Zhou Chengdong and other generals were really helpless.

Even if he knew that this road was not easy to escape, he could only flee with the defeated troops.

The fierce servants even kicked and pushed down some auxiliary soldiers blocking the way in order to protect Wang Yingtai and escape faster.

At this time, the red lady also came with a hundred standing troops.

Immediately I will personally lead the team to hunt down.

Liu Sheng rushed over and said, "Don't worry about this place. Go to the Dongzhai Gate and see if you can use the Crouching Tiger Cannon to defeat Xiang Yong as well!"

The red lady thought about it and knew that Liu Sheng wanted to defeat all the officers and soldiers who came to suppress them in one fell swoop to prevent them from attacking again later.

So she took the order and returned to the city with a standing army under her command.

Liu Sheng asked two artillery crews to go with the red lady, leaving only five artillery crews under his command.

At this time, the four-post standing army and dozens of pro-troops were chasing after them, and the Tiger Crouching Cannon was temporarily out of use.

Although many of the soldiers in the standing army are refugees from the plains, they have been training in the mountains frequently in the past few months and are much more familiar with mountain warfare than the officers and soldiers.

At this time, after the army was defeated, they just ran away. No one wanted to stay to stop the enemy.

In this way, more than a thousand people were chased by four to five hundred rebels and fled in a hurry through the mountains and forests...

Li Changgen stood behind a paulownia tree with his waist knife tightly in his hands. Hearing the voices of officers and soldiers shouting for escape above him getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but breathe quickly.

A hunting team soldier next to him patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just follow us and beat up the drowned dog later."

In fact, this hunting team soldier has never fought with officers and soldiers, but being in the mountains and forests gives him a certain psychological advantage.

What's more, after the cannon fired, listening to the movement on the slope above, it was obvious that the officers and soldiers were defeated and were fleeing towards the place where they ambush.

Ambushing a group of broken soldiers, are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat them?

Soon, the screams of officers and soldiers were heard from the slope not far away——

"what!"

"My feet!"

"There's a trap!"

"Someone come and save me!"

"···"

Because the officers and soldiers were defeated so quickly, the hunting team actually did not have time to set up too many traps, but some of the officers and soldiers who escaped first suffered heavy losses.

The remaining officers and soldiers were even more panicked.

At this time, two hundred hunting team soldiers hidden in various places appeared one after another and shot arrows at the officers and soldiers.

The hunting team mostly used hunting bows, which were not very powerful, but they couldn't bear the close distance, and most of the people who escaped first were auxiliary soldiers and had no armor at all.

Suddenly, dozens of people were hit by arrows.

Although most of those who were hit by arrows were only injured and no more than a dozen died on the spot, it made other officers and soldiers even more panicked.

In addition, the hunting team's clothes are easy to conceal and difficult to distinguish, and they move relatively quickly in the mountains and forests. Many officers and soldiers felt that they were surrounded by hidden rebels, and they did not dare to stop and fight, but only ran for their lives.

Li Changgen saw an auxiliary soldier running towards him and immediately slashed at him with a knife!

He used a lot of force with this sword, and the timing and angle he chose were not very good. In fact, the auxiliary soldiers could easily avoid it.

However, the auxiliary soldier was frightened and just wanted to escape. One of them was not paying attention, and Li Changgen slashed his shoulder with a knife and was chopped down on the spot.

Li Changgen also fell down, and because of too much force, the knife got stuck in the auxiliary's shoulder blade.

After pulling it out twice, he simply went to pinch the auxiliary's neck.

The auxiliary soldier was seriously injured and aroused his ferocity. He punched Li Changgen on the cheek, making Li Changgen dizzy and falling off him.

The auxiliary soldier struggled to get up, touched a stone next to him, picked it up and hit Li Changgen on the head.

At the critical moment, the hunting team soldier next to him felt that a spear had pierced the neck of the auxiliary soldier.

Suddenly, blood surged all over Li Changgen's face and body.

···

When Liu Sheng came here and gave the hunting team the mission, he said that if the officers and soldiers fled from the slope, there was no need to stop them by force, they could just ambush them first and chase after them.

After all, we were in a mountain forest and the hunting team only had 200 people. It was unrealistic to stop all the fleeing officers and soldiers.

Doing it forcefully will only cause more casualties to the hunting team.

Liu Sheng led his own troops and standing troops to pursue them to the place where the hunting team first ambush (about two or three miles away from the mountain road), and then stopped pursuing them.

The road below is too difficult or even impossible to walk. Standing troops and pro-army troops often wear armor, which makes walking even more difficult. It is also easy to fall into deep ditches and cliffs, causing non-battle damage.

Moreover, many officers and soldiers were captured in the pursuit battle just now and tied to the spot. There are also many wounded officers and soldiers waiting to be captured.

Therefore, Liu Sheng sent someone to notify Shen Zhaoxian to withdraw his troops, and then ordered several hundred rebels to collect the prisoners while picking up the weapons and even armor left behind by the officers and soldiers.

When we got back to the mountain road, we did a rough count and found that there were five to six hundred prisoners of war!

Counting the more than a hundred prisoners who had been left on the mountain road before, the number already exceeded the rebel army led by Liu Sheng at this time.

However, Liu Sheng was not worried about the resistance of the officers and soldiers prisoners.

For one thing, the prisoners had no weapons or armor, and most of them had no fighting spirit and were dejected.

Secondly, there are still many wounded soldiers inside.

In order to save manpower, Liu Sheng asked the prisoners to carry the wounded soldiers into Dashui Pingzhai.

Liu Shengcai drove the prisoners into the barracks and the school grounds, and the red lady contacted him using the walkie-talkie——

"Chief, the Xiangyong outside the east gate has also collapsed!"

"Approximately how many casualties did they have?"

"There were only a few dozen casualties - I went out of the city and fired a round of artillery fire, and they collapsed. Most of them retreated along the mountain road, and a small number fled into the mountain forest."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng frowned slightly.

There is no doubt that the terrain and mountain roads of Tianmu Mountain prevent the officers and soldiers from taking advantage of the strength of three thousand men.

But when the officers and soldiers retreated, the mountains, forests and roads also became obstacles for the rebels to pursue the enemy.

However, the total number of captured and killed officers and soldiers outside the west gate is estimated to be more than 900, which is close to two-thirds of the officers and soldiers.

Although the Xiangyong outside the east gate were not as powerful as the officers and soldiers, Liu Sheng did not want them to withdraw so easily.

So he said: "You lead the people to pursue along the mountain road first, be careful not to get ambushed. I will lead the troops to support you!"

After ending the call, Liu Sheng left two standing troops to guard the prisoners and assist the Mingyong in the defense.

He rushed to the east gate with nearly a hundred pro-troops and two standing troops, and followed the red lady to hunt down the Xiangyong.

This time, the rebels chased along the mountain road for four or five miles before catching up with the remaining seven to eight hundred Xiangyong on Haohan Slope, and completely defeated them in one go.

Less than a hundred people were killed on the spot, but three to four hundred were captured. The remaining three hundred Laixiang Yong escaped into the mountains and forests.

However, Luo Huaiyu, the Shandian Shi who led this group of local warriors, was captured by the rebels on the spot.

After the battle, when he saw that the rebels were panting and covered in sweat, Liu Sheng ordered the troops to retreat and return to Dashui Pingzhai...

same day.

A "war between officials and thieves" also took place at Dangzikou, at the junction of Nanyang and Yunyang prefectures, more than five hundred miles southwest of Tianmu Mountain.

In later generations, this was just an ordinary mountain village.

However, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this place was an important waterway from Yunyang to Nanyang. There were many fleeing people and bandits in Yunyang, so a pass was built here and soldiers and horses were permanently stationed to guard it.

In this battle, many hungry people besieged the Guanzhai without fear of death. The elites lurking among them took advantage of the officers and soldiers who were tired of coping, boarded the walled city and attacked the Guanzhai in one fell swoop.

Soon, hundreds of Ming troops in the village were killed.

At this time, a blood-stained flag was raised on the wall of the village, with a big word "Chuang" written on it...
