Chapter 119: Caught an Old Friend

The soldiers who charged were all soldiers of the left battalion of the forbidden army, and it was Hou Jingde's subordinates who had been led for more than ten years.

However, Li Shuo had already prepared, and the unique grenadiers of the Southwest Army kept throwing thunder into the formation of the forbidden army, and at the same time, Li Shuo had already arranged the bow and crossbow, and the firepower was fully opened, and he released his fire towards the position of the forbidden army.

The whole road of more than a mile, there was not the slightest barrier, and the forbidden army was overturned by dozens or hundreds, or even more people who were blown up by thunder.

Fortunately, the left battalion of the forbidden army is an old forbidden army, and the military quality is quite high, although there are heavy casualties, but in the case that Hou Jingde did not order to retreat, these people still gritted their teeth and attacked the front, and the old general Hou Jingde took the lead and rushed in the first array.

He knew very well in his heart that he was in the ambush of the Southwest Army, but at this time, he couldn't retreat, gritted his teeth and rushed forward, maybe there was still a glimmer of life, at this time, he admitted that he would retreat, and he would definitely be chased and killed by the Southwest Army.

At this time, there is only one blow, break up the camp of the Southwest Army, and then find a way to retreat from the flank, and it must not turn around on the spot.

From beginning to end, Li Shuo has been watching from the sidelines.

Wars with firearms are much more cruel than wars with simple cold weapons, and when many soldiers of the forbidden army fall to the ground, they have become bloody all over their bodies.

In this way, the two folded mansions of the left battalion of the forbidden army, under the firepower of the southwest army, rushed to the front of the southwest army, and were about to meet the southwest army in a short battle.

However, they did not pay a price, the two soldiers of the Chong Mansion were only able to rush over six or seven out of ten, and most of them were intimidated by the power of firearms, somewhat timid, Li Shuo saw the enemy rushing over, and did not panic, he took out a bright long knife from his waist, put on the helmet of the Southwest Army, and rushed over first.

"Brothers, the enemy's formation has been scattered, kill it at this time, and there will be military feats in front of you!"

"The future is all sent to the door!"

"Kill me!"

In the case of more than 10,000 people, it is impossible to kill all the enemies with firearms alone, in fact, it can disrupt the enemy's formation, and the tactical goal has been achieved, Li Shuo drew a knife in his hand, his eyes were fierce, and he rushed towards the enemy with his own guards!

The number of forbidden troops was originally inferior to Li Shuo's department, and they were killed and injured by firearms along the way, as soon as they fought, the momentum was weakened a lot, and the two sides fought each other for an hour or so, Li Shuo, who was covered in blood, cut down a court soldier who was resisting Daxu with a knife, and cut off the flagpole with another knife, and the black flag embroidered with the symbol of the forbidden army fell down in response, Li Shuo's eyes were excited, and he raised his arms and shouted.

"The banner of the forbidden army has fallen, the enemy has been defeated, kill me!"

"The banner of the forbidden army has fallen!"

All the Southwest Army, after hearing this, were all shocked, and they only felt that they had some more strength in their bodies, and many people shouted loudly.

"The banner of the forbidden army has fallen!"

For a while, this sentence spread throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who heard this sentence looked left and right, and indeed they could no longer see their own flags, and they inevitably panicked in their hearts, and they all had the idea of escaping.

The situation on the battlefield immediately fell to the Southwest Army in an all-round way!

Li Shuo carried a knife, after killing four or five people, he was a little out of strength, he was just an ordinary person, although he practiced martial arts in the army when he was a teenager, and he did not let go of the Li family's military tactics over the years, but after all, not everyone is a natural fierce general brother of the Ye family, Li Shuo can only be regarded as an ordinary general, he fought for an hour, he was a little tired, so this Ningzhou general retreated more than a dozen steps under the protection of his own guards, retreated to his own formation, and shouted angrily: "Brothers, don't let these people go, Fight a beautiful battle to show the general, and let the world know how powerful my Ningzhou army is! ”

On the battlefield, there was a shout of killing, but Li Shuo was no longer able to fight, and under the protection of several personal guards, he retreated to his camp tent and began to command his soldiers to extinguish the fire.

In fact, now that the situation on the battlefield is very clear, the imperial court is retreating, and the remaining thing to fight for is how many people from the imperial court can be left.

Li Shuo returned to his tent, closed his eyes and rested for a while, quickly opened his eyes, and continued to command the front-line soldiers.

The sky slowly brightened.

The two sides confronted each other head-to-head from the ugly time, and fought for two or three hours, and when the sun fully rose, only a group of forbidden troops were left on the side of the imperial court who were chased and killed by the southwest ranks, and fled back to the capital in embarrassment.

After these forbidden troops fled to a distance of thirty-four miles near the capital, Li Shuo ordered not to pursue, and then the Southwest Army began to clean up the battlefield.

Around noon, the Ningzhou army roughly counted the results of the battle, and the deputy general of the Ningzhou army came to Li Shuo's tent, bowed his head and clenched his fists: "General Li, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court last night were the two Zhichong mansions of the left battalion of their forbidden army, a total of more than 28,000 people, only five or six thousand escaped, and the rest were killed by our army about 13,400, and thousands were seriously injured, and the rest were captured by the brothers." ”

This deputy general, who was also the general of the army that year, won the court at this time, and he was very happy, he said with a smile: "According to the general's orders, these captive brothers have not touched them, and they have all been settled, general, do you want to send someone to send them to Luzhou?" ”

"After the specific number is cleared, it will be sent to Luzhou."

Li Shuo frowned and asked, "What about the casualties of our army?" ”

The adjutant general said with a smile: "Our army has four or five thousand killed, and two or three thousand are seriously wounded. ”

To be honest, this number is not very good-looking, after all, the Southwest Army was the first to ambush and attack, and also used a large number of firearms, but Li Shuo was already quite satisfied, he nodded, and said: "After counting a specific number, send it to me, and I will forward it to the general." ”

"The last general obeys!"

The lieutenant general was just about to leave, Li Shuo suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, did you ask who was the general who led the forbidden army of the imperial court last night?" ”

The lieutenant stopped and turned around to clasp his fist at Li Shuo.

"If the general doesn't say it, the last general almost forgot!"

He grinned: "Last night, the imperial court led the troops, it was their forbidden army left battalion general Hou Jingde, last night it was dark, I couldn't see clearly, today the late general found out that this general Hou was not very lucky, a thunderbolt exploded near him, and he was blown out on the spot, and now he has been taken back to the camp by his brothers and put together with those prisoners." ”

"Hou Jingde ......"

Li Shuo lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly remembered this person, he slowly spoke: "I know this person, he is one of the two generals of the imperial forbidden army, and it seems that he still has some friendship with the general, you let the military doctor treat him, if there is no danger, send someone to send him to Luzhou and hand him over to the general for disposal." ”

The adjutant general bowed his head respectfully: "The last general will do it." ”

After saying this, he grinned at Li Shuo.

"Don't hide it from the general, the last general has been in the army for decades, and it is the first time to fight so freely, if there were these firearms in our army back then......"

He was halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Li Shuo's frown.

"Okay, go down to do things, don't talk too much."
