"Bang" A rifled gun's unique gunshot sounded, and a fierce soldier beside Zhao Liangdong didn't even snort, a bloody hole appeared on his forehead, and a bloody sword spurted out of the back of his head, and he fell backwards on his back.

"Ahh Ranged Striker! Zhao Liangdong only felt that his lower body was hot, his pants were wet, and a foul smell wafted up from below. couldn't care about the tall image of the mighty and brave, Zhao Liangdong rolled on the spot, lay on the ground, and hid behind a corpse for half a day and didn't dare to show his head. Truth be told, this weapon is terrible. Zhao Liangdong himself is a sharpshooter, and once invented a way to snipe the opponent's main general from a distance with a bow and arrow. But when he encountered this kind of sharp weapon that was much longer than the strongest strong bow, Zhao Liangdong was frightened and incontinent on the spot.

Because this weapon left a deep impression on Zhao Liangdong, when he was in Burma, Pingxi General Ai Xing A and Zhuo Luo Beizi were sniped, which had shocked Zhao Liangdong, and Dong Xueli and Wang Yizheng were killed before, which once again made Zhao Liangdong frightened. However, those were just heard by ear, and Zhao Liangdong had not witnessed the powerful power of this weapon with his own eyes. When the breakout battle was launched a few days ago, Zhao Liangdong was fortunate to see the powerful power of this weapon: in the Qing army, every most ferocious officer became a live target of this weapon, and was accurately named by the gunfire hiding in the distance!

This gun not only has a long range, but also has extremely high accuracy, as long as it is targeted, it will definitely die! Zhao Liangdong, who had seen the power of this weapon with his own eyes, was terrified of this mysterious weapon. Just now, the bullet killed his personal soldier, and the death was so close to him, as long as the bullet deviated a little more, it was not the personal soldier who died, but him Zhao Liangdong!

"Bang" was another gunshot, and a soldier of Zhao Liangdong, who was about to shoot an arrow, exploded on his forehead. White Blossom's brains squirted out.

Chen Shuigen handed over the rifled gun to his deputy, took a rifled gun with good ammunition from the deputy's hand, and aimed at a Qing soldier archer to pull the trigger, while shooting, he scolded in his mouth: "What kind of bad luck did Lao Tzu take today, obviously aiming at Zhao Liangdong, a dog thief." Why did you miss? That kid's **** luck is too good, right? ”

But Chen Shuigen didn't know that Zhao Liangdong had suffered from a psychological disorder since then, no matter what time it was, as long as he heard the unique gunshot sound of rifled guns in the future, even if the gunshots were far away from him, he would unconsciously pee his pants. The mouth will also shout: "The Ming Dog God is here, run!" ”

Chen Shuigen, who rushed to the rescue, and another rifled gunner arrived here in time with six rifled guns. Two shooters, with the help of their deputies, continuously shoot bullets. Constantly harvesting the lives of Zhao Liangdong's personal soldiers. Every time a gunshot rang out, an archer carefully cultivated by Zhao Liangdong fell down.

In fact, at this time, if Zhao Liangdong ordered a large-scale charge, he still had a chance to turn the tide. However, two sharpshooters and six rifled guns completely crushed the morale of the Qing army that had just been aroused, and Wang Guangxing's already low morale suddenly rose.

"Kill the Tartars!" The morale of the rebels shouted and launched a rice charge against the Qing army.

Liang Jiaqi, whose morale had fallen to the bottom, was the first to turn around and run, and his own soldiers also fled for their lives, and a few Qing soldiers who were slow to react were left behind. In the blink of an eye, thousands of rebels caught up with the lonely Qing soldiers. Chop them into puree.

"Find a chance to escape! I am a hero of the Qing Dynasty, and there is endless glory and wealth waiting for me, and I can't die here today without knowing it! Zhao Liangdong said secretly in his heart.

Taking advantage of the rifled gun firing, Zhao Liangdong jumped up. Although the six rifled guns can have relatively sustained firepower, the rifled guns are too slow to reload, and there is still a certain interval between shots. Zhao Liangdong took advantage of this time difference. jumped up, just used Liang Jiaqi, who had retreated from defeat, as a cover, turned around and fled back.

Zhao Liangdong's run, even if a few of them are still a little fierce, the Qing soldiers who still want to resist to the end are like deflated balls. As soon as the morale fell to the bottom, they all turned around and ran.

"Our army is defeated, run!" The chaotic rebel army fled from the mountain and directly attacked Wang Jinbao's army behind.

"Defeated?" Wang Jinbao saw that Zhao Liangdong, who was brave and invincible, and his martial arts were higher than his own, and he fled in embarrassment, and he didn't care about what to think about, so he turned around and ran.

The defeat was like a mountain, not to mention that these Qing troops were originally a group of hungry soldiers who had been hungry for a long time, and they were all supported by the breath of "about to break through". Now that the retreat has been broken, the morale of the Qing army fell to the bottom in an instant, and the whole line collapsed in an instant, and every Qing officer and soldier lost the courage to turn back and fight again, and there was only one thought left in their minds: flee for their lives! No matter how small the number of rebels caught up from behind, no one dared to turn back and fight. In the rush to escape, someone fell to the ground and was immediately trampled into the mud by the raindrops of his companions, turning it into fertilizer for weeds. Everyone was running desperately, all vying to overtake their companions and let their companions help them block the knives and guns behind them.

"My lord, where are we going?" A pro-soldier asked Zhao Liangdong.

Zhao Liangdong pointed to a small road in front of him and said, "To the northeast!" Pass through this path! ”

He didn't dare to escape back to the boat on the river, he knew that he had led so many Qing troops to land, but he ended up in a fiasco, not only lost tens of thousands of people in vain, but also made Li Guoying lose the only chance to break through, he knew that Li Guoying would not let them go after he went back, and he also knew that even if Li Guoying let him go, they might not be able to break through the interception of the rebels on the river. After weighing the stakes, Zhao Liangdong decided to take care of his own life.

After all, Zhao Liangdong has been fighting with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Guo in the area of Badong in western Hubei for many years, and he is still familiar with the local terrain and knows which paths to take to escape. It's just that the path is really difficult to walk, and if you take the small road with a large army to escape, there is a chance that you will be buried in the jungle, and it would be good if you could escape back with a third of the men and horses.

As soon as Wang Jinbao saw that Zhao Liangdong didn't run to the boat, he understood in his heart that it was not a way to go back to the boat, drilling into the mountains and forests and walking on the mountain road, there was still a chance to escape, and when he returned to the boat, even if Li Guoying let them go, he would wait to be made dumplings by the righteous army!

Zhao Liangdong and Wang Jinbao, the two fierce generals of the Qing Dynasty, became long-distance running champions at this time, and they gave full play to their physical advantages, running the fastest and escaping at the front of the team. Behind them was a large group of defeated soldiers, who were defeated with them.

"Kill the Tartars!" The morale-like rebels followed closely behind, slashing and slashing the Qing soldiers who fell behind along the way.

"Don't kill me. I give up! "Originally, the Qing soldiers had been hungry for several days, and they had to do high-intensity physical exertion such as long-distance running, how could they afford it? So the Qing soldiers who couldn't run knelt on the ground and surrendered.

The first thing the captured Qing soldiers did was to ask the rebels if they had anything to eat, and when they were sent to the prisoner of war camp, the rebels brought them porridge made of wheat bran, rice bran and miscellaneous grains, and the captives were snatched up. For a small bite of porridge, the captives even fought and killed people.

Zhao Liangdong and Wang Jinbao led the rout, burrowed into the mountain path, and fled all the way to the Hanshui Valley in the northeast. The rebels in the back were in hot pursuit. Many Qing soldiers who were left behind, but refused to surrender, saw that they could not escape, and panicked into the mountains and forests. However, these Qing soldiers did not have the ability of the Qiongzhou Mountain Army, and they got lost when they got into the primeval forest, and eventually either starved to death in the forest, or became the belly of jackals, tigers and leopards. Or be bitten to death by a poisonous snake or stung to death by a poisonous insect. And the most unfortunate thing is that the Qing soldiers who were captured by the local mountain people.

The local mountain people who suffered from the scourge of the Qing soldiers naturally did not be polite to the Qing soldiers, and the captured Qing soldiers were ravaged in various ways, and finally torn to pieces by the mountain people.

On the river, Tu Hai, an important minister of the Eight Banners who was in command, saw with his own eyes the rout of the Qing army that landed, and saw that only a few Qing soldiers fled back to the ship, and the rest fled to the mountains. Tu Hai was so angry that he scolded: "Zhao Liangdong and Wang Jinbao, these two dog minions!" couldn't take the position of the thieves, so he left the main army and fled for his life! If the old man can return to the capital. Be sure to refer to them again! ”

Li Guoying said: "My lord, we must break out of the encirclement of thieves first!" ”

Tu Hai asked dejectedly: "May I ask Lord Li, our landing force has suffered a crushing defeat, the river has been completely blocked by thieves, and the army has been out of food for a long time, and it is no longer able to fight anymore!" How should we break out of the siege of thieves? ”

Li Guoying pointed to the path on the mountain by the river on the south bank and said: "The lower officials have been fighting with the thieves here for many years. The trail here is still familiar. Zhao Liangdong and Wang Jinbao's two minions fled to the north, but Xiaguan knew that there was still a path to go to the south. As long as the adults follow the lower officials, they will be able to escape. It's just that our army is going to be lost here, and we have to look at his face when we flee to Wu Sangui's territory in Guizhou. ”

"Can't we just wait for Master Zhang to come up? and Hobusso and Lord Surma coming down from the north. They should be arriving soon, why do they have to go to Wu Sangui to get angry? It's an adventure along the way! Tuhai shook his head.

"Lord Zhang? Hum! Lord Hobusso and Lord Surma? Li Guoying sneered, "Speaking of which, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Lord Tuhai!" We can't rush down the river, do you still expect Lord Zhang, who is going upstream, to break through the thieves and intercept it? As for Hobusso and Master Surma, they would have come long ago if they could! Why hasn't it arrived yet? He must have been stopped by a thief on the way! If we don't run quickly, and the hungry army mutinies and kidnaps us to the thieves, will we still be alive? ”

Tu Hai sighed: "Let's go to Wu Sangui!" If the main army is lost, it will be lost, as long as the official can go back alive, he can still pull up another army! As for Wu Sangui, although this person has a heart of disobedience, he is still my courtier of the Qing Dynasty, so I don't dare to do anything to us if I forgive him! ”

Tong Fengcai said: "My lord, if we run away by ourselves and leave our army here, and the thieves capture our people, wouldn't that enhance the strength of the thieves?" ”

Li Guoying sneered: "Enhance the strength of thieves? Imagine for yourself that the thieves have 100,000 hungry ghost-like soldiers, what should they do? Raising them, do thieves have so much grain in their hands? If they are all killed, then as soon as the notoriety of their killing and captives spreads, who will dare to surrender to them in the future? Seeing them must be fighting to the death! This official knows that Li Zhilaiheng will definitely not dare to kill the prisoner! He doesn't kill, these more than 100,000 people, they eat all the poor him! ”

The sun is setting, and night is shrouded in the land. When the sky was completely dark, Li Guoying, who disguised himself as a small soldier, took Tuhai, Fu Kachan, Du Min, Tong Fengcai and other Qing generals who also wore the clothes of small soldiers to land on the south bank of the Yangtze River in a small boat.

Li Guoying They carried dried fish, horse meat and a small amount of coarse dry food, which they had saved from between their teeth some time ago, and now they came in handy.

The sky had just dawned, and the Qing troops sleeping on the river boats and the Qing troops sleeping in the large camp on the shore got up one after another. There are more than 100,000 Qing troops, and only a few pots are cooking. In the big iron pot, wild vegetables, grass roots, wild ginger, wild onions and a few small fish caught in the river were boiled, and a large group of hungry ghost-like soldiers waited around the iron pot.

As soon as the "food" in the pot was cooked, a group of hungry soldiers surrounded it, and the innermost officer desperately scooped soup and vegetables into his bowl, and the hungry soldiers outside squeezed their heads and tried to squeeze in, but were stopped by the officers' own soldiers.

When the officers and their own soldiers had eaten enough, a little scrap was left for the ordinary soldiers.

On the other side, the same food was also boiling in the cauldron of the Eight Banners, but none of the Green Battalion soldiers dared to go to the Eight Banners to ask for something to eat.

At this time, the voice of recruiting Qing soldiers sounded in the righteous barracks on the opposite side, as usual, and a group of loud righteous soldiers shouted at the Qing army: "Brothers of the green camp opposite, you are also Han!" Come and surrender! Just come and surrender, and we'll feed you! ”

Before the words fell, many Qing soldiers spread their legs and ran towards the camp of the righteous army.

The officers of the Green Battalion came out to stop them, hacked many people to death, and let the archers shoot arrows from behind, shooting many soldiers who ran to surrender, but still could not stop more people from running to surrender to the rebels.

"Shoot the arrows! Kill those who eat inside and out! One of the Green Camp Commanders yelled. In the past few days, people have "defected" to the side of the rebels every day. Although the Qing army officers killed many people, at night, there were always people who fled. This morning, there was even a phenomenon of a large number of soldiers openly "defecting" in broad daylight!

"Whoosh" Several pro-soldiers shot random arrows, and the deserters who were rushing towards the rebel barracks were hit by arrows in the back one after another, and fell forward.

"My lord! Big things are wrong! At this moment, a thousand general managers came panting to report.

"Why are you so flustered?" Toji asked.

"My lord, I just went to the camp of the Chinese army, and I found that Lord Li, Lord Tong, and several adults from the Eight Banners were nowhere to be seen! I went to look around a few times, and I went with the other brothers to inquire, and then I realized that the adults had run away! Qing Jun Qian always knelt on the ground in a panic and reported.
