Chapter 245: Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals

When Su Ping hurriedly urged the army to rush forward for another two or three miles, he saw more than ten horsemen in front of him galloping like a desperate speed, and the soldiers beside him were busy holding their blades in their hands and protecting him in the middle.

One of Su hired's generals had the best eyesight, and he was the first to exclaim: "General, it looks like one of ours!" ”

The cavalry came close in an instant, but they were covered in blood, and two of them were missing an arm. When some of them saw the banner of the word "Su", they immediately hissed and shouted: "Forward...... It's all broken! ”

Su Ping was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly called the man to inquire carefully, only to know that his forward encountered a team of cavalry with shining silver armor around him, and he was scattered in a flash, and more than 1,000 people and horses fled back with only more than ten horses in front of him.

"Have you ever seen Captain Zhang's soldiers and horses?" Su Ping said urgently.

The cavalryman who fled back wiped the blood from his forehead, pointed behind him, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Duwei's headquarters is surrounded on the north side of Liuxi, and no one has broken through......"

Su Ping's face was a little pale, he had a lot of contact with Zhang An recently, and he knew that Zhang An was definitely a good hand when it came to fighting. But now Zhang An was surrounded in an instant, which shows the fierceness of the enemy army.

"General, this is a moment before Captain Zhang Du will be defeated," his lieutenant general said aside, "Our army will go to reinforcements immediately, and we will definitely be able to save it!" ”

To save, or not to save? Su Ping was in his heart when heaven and man were fighting, and suddenly he heard a thunderous noise coming from the left front. He felt a chill on the back of his neck, which was clearly the roar of a cannon! And it's definitely not a small cannon like a tiger squat, but a red cannon!

Su Ping's front team was immediately a piece of flesh and blood, and the soldiers were so frightened that they reflexively turned their heads and retreated, and there was chaos when their troops were neutral.

How can there be a cannon?! Su Ping's mind was in chaos, even if the rebels had artillery, it would be impossible to bring the cannon with them under the rapid escape like Fang Cai!

Immediately after another series of cannon shots, Su Ping suddenly made up his mind, waved his hand behind him again and again, and hurriedly ordered: "Stay before the army is broken." Retreat, retreat quickly! "Nonsense, the rebels even have cannons, and there seem to be as many as twenty of them, what a fart! As for Zhang An, if you die, you will die, and you will not die in poverty.

However, the more than 10,000 troops hired by Su were still crowded together, and the adjutant general who had just advocated reinforcement of Zhang An pointed to the north side and exclaimed: "General, enemy cavalry!" ”

Su Ping turned his head and saw nearly a thousand cavalry gathered on the right flank of his army formation, and he immediately remembered that his forward cavalry could not even hold up a charge in front of these people, and cold sweat fell from his forehead.

He hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat to the south, and pointed to the deputy general beside him with his hand, "Gong Kezheng, lead your troops to stop the enemy cavalry!" ”

At this time, there was only one thought in my heart, that is, how to bring these people under my command back to Tianxing Mansion safely.

"Obey, obey." Gong Kezheng gritted his teeth and arched his hands, beckoning the officers of his department to form a formation on the north side.

A mile away, the bombardment of the artillery was faster than round, and the whistling iron balls continued to sweep through Su Ping's retreating team, screaming miserably along the way.

Previously, Zhu Linmiao did not let Chen Xiongfei go into battle in order to prevent the sound of artillery from frightening the Cantonese army, and at this time, the artillery battalion vented all the strength that had been held back for a long time on Su Ping's head.

After withdrawing for a few miles, Su Ping could no longer hear the sound of fighting on Gong Kezheng's side, and the enemy's artillery was already quiet, and it was out of range.

He was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard a neat and rapid drum beat in front of him, and then, a dark green long snake formation appeared in his field of vision, and the queue pressed neatly towards him.

When did the rebels ambush here? Su Ping's mind buzzed, and he suddenly felt that his hands and feet were cold.

In fact, the main force of the Dragon Guard Army surrounded Zhang An's men and horses at a very fast speed. Zhang An wanted to resist stubbornly, but he was targeted by a hunter, and a Mini bullet from a hundred paces away knocked off half of his head.

Two more volleys of flintlock guns followed, and the rabble of his men surrendered on their knees.

Zhu Linmiao only left two companies of foot soldiers and twenty chasseurs to watch the 4,000 soldiers, and the main force ran to the left flank of Su Pin to line up according to the plan, and cooperated with the cavalry on the right flank to complete the envelope.

In fact, at this time, there was also a dragon cavalry battalion of the Dragon Guard Army and a company of personal soldiers rushing in the direction of Tianxing Mansion, and they would form a formation three or four miles outside the city to intercept the enemy troops who might flee back to the city.

"Shovel!" Su Ping's eyes showed a fierce light, "Don't you run for Lao Tzu?" I don't believe that Lao Tzu, tens of thousands of horses can't break your long snake formation! ”

He was about to give the order to form a formation to assault the Dragon Guard infantry line, when the damned cannon roar rang out in his ears again.

Is this cannon winged? He was almost about to collapse, running as hard as his own foot soldiers, and he didn't shake off the rebel cannon?!

After a moment's hesitation, the infantry of the Dragon Guard Army was already about a hundred paces, and then the shouts of "aim" came......

Su Ping finally didn't dare to let go of the "rebels" and face the steel, and left nearly a thousand cannon fodder, and he took the remaining eight or nine thousand people to flee for their lives in the direction of Tianxing Mansion.

Gong Kezheng couldn't even hold back the Zhu family for a moment, and the cavalry of the Dragon Guard Army was interspersing and cutting back and forth in the Su Ping Army at the moment, and the infantry line was close behind, constantly strangling the Cantonese army with volleys.

And what frightened Su Ping the most was that the artillery of the "rebels" always chased after him, stopping from time to time to fire a few cannons......

By the time he could vaguely see the head of Tianxing Mansion, there were only more than a thousand foot soldiers left on his side.

Su Ping sighed in his heart, this battle has lost the main force of the Guangdong army, how to explain to Ding Dutang in the future?

There seems to be something dark green up ahead? He suddenly raised his eyes, and saw that there was a long snake formation between the Tianxing Mansion that he was most looking forward to at this time and himself, although there were not many people, but they were all flat-ended birds, and they were waiting for the formation......

Tianxingfu earthquake!

There was talk on the streets.

"Eh, Lao Zhao, you are well-informed, yesterday the cannon outside the city, what kind of war was it?"

"You don't know that? The king of Tang wanted to abolish the empress dowager and establish himself as a prisoner, and King Chen led an army to rebel. ”

"And how is the battle?"

"I don't know. It's going to be a few months. ”

Another smug voice continued: "How many months?" The 25,000 men and horses of the Tang King were defeated by the King of Chen in half a day! ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused exclamations on the side, "Hu Fugui, what you said is true?!" ”

"Seriously, my cousin who helped in the patrol battalion told me personally."

"How can it be so fast?"

"Hu Fugui, are you making it up?"

Hu Fugui seemed to be a little anxious, and said in a low voice: "Who is making nonsense, and tell you, my cousin had to go to the city yesterday, what did you do?" Under the city, tens of thousands of Tang kings knelt down densely. At the front, a dead man was hanged, and a living man was tied. It is said that the one who died was Zhang An, a general under the Tang Dynasty, and the one who was alive was Su Ping, the general of the Guangdong Army! ”

"Really?"

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the city and see it yourself!"

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Chen is the reincarnation of Yang Jian, and his subordinates are all heavenly soldiers and generals, Pingjiangxi, Dingfujing, and the battle array is unparalleled, it seems that the rumors are true."

"What Yang Jian? I've heard people say that he is the second master of Guan ......"
