[Brothers, please subscribe! Please. 】

"Kill!"

The fierce battle in Zhuxian Town continued, and the battle between Li Zicheng and the Ming army under Hu Dawei on the east was still fruitless.

The Ming soldiers under Hu Dawei have a very considerable combat power, and Li Zicheng can't kill them.

On the west side of Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi, there was a breakthrough at this time.

Facing the more than 30,000 soldiers who came over like hungry wolves, the Ming soldiers under Zuo Liangyu still planned to fight at first.

As a result, soon these Ming soldiers were killed by these 30,000 red-eyed soldiers.

Poof!

A soldier was stabbed by a Ming soldier in front of him, but the soldier still rushed forward desperately, with his teeth and claws, trying to catch the Ming soldier.

One hand was still holding the barrel of the gun, so that the Ming soldier could not pull the spear out of the abdomen of the soldier who broke into the army.

"Let go!" The Ming sergeant roared angrily.

However, it was still too late, and a sergeant who rushed over again next to him slashed down with a knife and directly knocked it over.

Then, the soldier who was shot, the madness and hatred in his eyes, gradually faded, and he fell to the ground and died.

A soldier lost his weapon because the spear in his hand was broken, and he pounced directly on the body of a Ming soldier, hugged her, and bit down.

directly bit off the ear of a Ming soldier, and the Ming soldier who was in pain screamed continuously, and the long knife in his hand desperately slashed at the soldier who pounced on him.

Some of the soldiers of Chuang and Ming scuffled together, and when they lost their weapons, they attacked each other with their fists, feet, and teeth, vowing to kill each other.

It was precisely because the soldiers were so crazy and didn't want to kill that they directly frightened Zuo Liangyu's subordinates on the front line.

Have they ever seen such a crazy thief, this is simply a life for life, and they have to pull a cushion on their backs when they die, it's crazy.

The quality of these soldiers under Zuo Liangyu was originally uneven, and in the face of the soldiers who were like crazy at this time, there were still some people who couldn't stand it and were defeated.

"This battle can't be fought, withdraw."

A bandit-born general under Zuo Liangyu, watching the soldiers in front of him continue to die, and the soldiers rushed closer and closer, he was so frightened that he decisively ordered a retreat.

The withdrawal of their Ming army not only boosted the morale of the soldiers who rushed out, but also hit the morale of their own soldiers.

It also directly affected the other Ming army teams around it, so that other Ming army teams followed suit, so that the rout of the Ming army began.

"Report! General Qiyu, it's not good, the soldiers in front can't stand it, and they have been defeated. ”

It didn't take long for Zuo Liangyu in the back to receive a message from a soldier.

"What?" Zuo Liangyu was taken aback.

"Kill!"

As a result, Zuo Liangyu had just gotten the news when he heard a roaring shout of killing from the front.

He looked up and saw that a large group of Ming army routs in front of him were routing towards them, and behind those Ming army routs were a group of roaring intruders.

"Damn, you can't hold it like this, it's a bunch of rubbish. Ordered the whole army to retreat. ”

After seeing this scene, Zuo Liangyu also knew that the defense line on his side was completely finished, and he couldn't hold it at all, so in order to preserve his strength, he directly ordered a retreat.

At this time, Zuo Liangyu actually had an elite cavalry of 6,000 people by his side, which was also the strongest team under him.

But Zuo Liangyu didn't plan at all, and finally sent this cavalry to deal with the intruding army, which he used to protect himself and withdraw safely.

The soldiers who broke through the defense line of the Ming army under Zuo Liangyu were greatly boosted, and the hope of killing them was just around the corner, and they became even more fierce.

It's like a group of tigers descending from the mountain, chasing those Ming soldiers and killing them.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!"

Zuo Liangyu looked at the soldiers who kept screaming and rushing towards him, and his face couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

He hurriedly urged his cavalry, quickly protected him, and retreated to the south.

"General, if we withdraw like this, the two sides of General Tiger and Inspector Ding will be in danger, should we send someone to inform them."

Some of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates raised concerns to Zuo Liangyu.

"Inform a fart, Lao Tzu doesn't want to listen to Hu Dawei's ridicule, go directly, let's return to Huguang, whoever loves to go to Kaifeng will save it, Lao Tzu doesn't care anymore.

As long as Lao Tzu has soldiers and horses in his hands, the imperial court will not be too responsible for Lao Tzu's defeat at that time.

Anyway, now Lao Tzu can see that this group of thieves has become the climate, and they can't be exterminated at all.

Lao Tzu won't wade into this troubled water here, let's go to Xiangyang, or go to Ruyang. ”

After speaking, Zuo Liangyu led his 6,000 cavalry and retreated south in embarrassment, not daring to continue to fight with the intruding army.

Even, this guy is shameless, for the sake of his own face, he chose not to send someone to inform Hu Dawei and Ding Qirui in the east and northwest.

The most direct result of this is that Li Guo led more than 20,000 soldiers to break through, and after killing through Zuo Liangyu's front, he immediately went east to rescue Li Zicheng.

I have to say that Zuo Liangyu has also seen through the true meaning of survival in this troubled world, and if someone has a gun in his hand, he is the king of grass, and even the court does not have to be afraid.

It's a big deal, just be in a corner of peace, be a soil emperor, only have people and horses in your hands, and someone will definitely take the initiative to win you over at that time, and you will not be indispensable for glory and wealth.

And the combined army of Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi lost more than 10,000 people in the whole battle after they broke Zuo Liangyu's team and rushed out.

There are only about 25,000 people left, including the more than 5,000 elites, which is miserable enough.

You know, when they just entered Zhuxian Town last night, each of them led a team of 25,000 people, and now one of them has been wiped out.

However, the soldiers who have been able to fight until now and survive are all ruthless, and their combat power is no longer comparable to before.

"Report! The general is not good, and an intruder has appeared on our left flank, and he is killing us. ”

Because the battlefield on Zuo Liangyu's side is only a few miles away from Hu Dawei's side, it is separated by a river and a mountain.

But after Zuo Liangyu withdrew irresponsibly, Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi divided their troops into two ways, and Li Guo led people to kill in the east to rescue Li Zicheng.

And Hao Shaoqi led another group of men and horses to the northwest to meet Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong's two-way army.

Originally, the number of Ming soldiers on Hu Dawei's side was not much, and in the face of Li Zicheng's continuous leading people to rush and break through, they fought very hard.

But in the end, Hu Dawei still led his soldiers to beat Li Zicheng's breakthrough back again and again, and never let a single sergeant come out.

However, this is already the maximum limit that Hu Dawei and his subordinates can do.

At this time, Li Guo, who had been killed from the west, commanded more than 10,000 murderous soldiers who had just crawled out of the pile of dead people, so that Hu Dawei could no longer spare his strength to deal with it.

"Kill!"

As soon as this subordinate came to report, Hu Dawei stood on a mountain ridge, followed far away, and saw the intruder soldiers and horses killed from the west.

"Damn, isn't there Zuo Liangyu's 60,000 horses guarding the west? Why did the army come over so quickly? Could it be that Zuo Liangyu's side has already been defeated? ”

Hu Dawei saw the intruders and horses killed from the west, his face turned pale, and he said coldly.

At this time, you don't have to guess to know that it must be something happened to Zuo Liangyu on the western battlefield, which will let so many soldiers come to their side.

"Zuo Liangyu, you're really damned!" Hu Dawei gritted his teeth and said.

"General, what should we do now? Let's figure it out. Beside him, there were subordinate generals, who hurriedly said to Hu Dawei.

Just as he spoke, more than 10,000 soldiers led by Li Guo had already killed the left flank of Hu Dawei's men, and 2,000 Hu Dawei's soldiers went to stop him.

But the battle ended quickly, even Hu Dawei's subordinates, who were strong in battle, and only 2,000 people were quickly overwhelmed by more than 10,000 troops.

And Li Zicheng, who was still trapped in Zhuxian Town, was a few miles away at this time, and he also saw the reinforcements led by Li Guo.

Suddenly, Li Zicheng's side was also greatly boosted, and he became more active in attacking the Ming soldiers in front.

On the contrary, it was the Ming army's side, because of the arrival of Li Guo's reinforcements, which made their morale low, and under the double attack of Li Guo and Li Zicheng, they had already shown signs of defeat.

"Inspector Ding has an order, he can't retreat, and now all the soldiers obey the order and follow me to kill the enemy. Drive! ”

Hu Dawei made a decision that was completely in line with Zuo Liangyu, and led the last 2,000 cavalry of his men to kill Li Guo in the west, and did not come down and retreat.

However, from the moment Li Guo broke through Zuo Liangyu's defense line, in fact, the Ming army had no hope of winning this battle.

The battle on Hu Dawei's side lasted until the afternoon, when the Ming army was defeated on all fronts, and Hu Dawei was also in the war, so don't break into the army and kill him.

It's a pity that this is a loyal and courageous general, but he can't turn the tide after all, and dying in battle may be their best destination.

This battle, from before dawn, was fought until it was dark, and it was fought for a whole day.

And the final result was that the Chuang army successfully killed Zhuxian Town, and took advantage of the situation to defeat Zuo Liangyu and Hu Dawei's two Ming armies, Zuo Liangyu was defeated and fled, and Hu Dawei was killed.

The result was similar to that of Li Guo's side, and Hao Shaoqi went to the northwest to support Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong's two armies, and also won the victory.

Ding Qirui was defeated.

At the last moment, if it weren't for Yang Wenyue and Qi Wei, after ambushing Liu Zongmin, they would directly lead their troops back to Zhuxian Town, just in time to join Ding Qirui's department.

In the end, those people and horses in Ding Qirui's hands are estimated to be eaten by Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong's army.

At this point, Ding Qirui's carefully planned battle to exterminate Li Zicheng's thief army was a complete failure, and the Ming army fell into a passive situation.

Yang Wenyue and Qi Wei escorted Ding Qirui and retreated north to Kaifeng City, but they didn't expect to meet Fang Guoan's headquarters in the north.

And at this time, Fang Guoan was also defeated.

It turned out that Fang Guoan fought fiercely with Song Xiance's department in the new city for more than two days, and Song Xiance was gradually exhausted at that time.

But on the second day, Liu Zongmin led more than 10,000 soldiers to fight from the northwest.

These more than 10,000 soldiers and soldiers were all re-gathered from the rout that Liu Zongmin had escaped from Hutouling in just one day.

With the addition of more than 10,000 new troops, Fang Guoan could no longer defeat Song Xiance, so he could only retreat.

But Fang Guoan retreated calmly, Song Xiance didn't even lead people to pursue, worried that he would be ambushed by them again, so that Fang Guoan still kept nearly 10,000 soldiers in his hands in the end.

And Yang Wenyue and Ding Qirui, Qi Wei's side, were attacked by Gao Yigong and Gao Guiying, who broke into the army, and they were stuck to the death and pursued all the way.

When Fang Guoan joined them, the strength in Ding Qirui's hands was restored.

Therefore, Ding Qirui simply took them, turned around again, and fought a fierce battle against Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong, who were extremely them.

After the fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy losses, and Yang Wenyue was even more unfortunate, dying under the artillery fire of the invading army, and the Ming army was defeated again.

And Qi Wei and Fang Guoan, who re-led the remaining Ming soldiers and horses with less than 10,000 people, turned around and arrived at Kaifeng City.

"Zuo Liangyu, it's just a crime that deserves death, and when he returns to Luoyang, the official will personally report this matter to the saint."

Ding Qirui was like an angry lion at this time, running and roaring, so frightened that no one dared to speak.

Ding Qirui was so angry, of course, he already knew that the army first started from Zuo Liangyu's side.

With Zuo Liangyu's irresponsible withdrawal, that is, the beginning of the rout of the Ming army, which immediately caused the battle of Zhuxian Town, the Ming army was a crushing defeat at this time.

"Report, General, the Ming army has been defeated."

And just east of Zhuxian Town, not long after the defeat of the Ming army, Li Zixiao also received a return from the scout.

In this regard, Li Zixiao just nodded and was not surprised, but Luo Chao and other generals on the side did not relax for a long time.

Before, although they accepted Li Zixiao's statement, thinking that the Ming army might lose this battle, they never thought that the Ming army would be defeated after only a little time had passed.

"The Ming army is defeated? That's really ......."

Luo Chao and the other generals of the White Dragon Army, who came back to their senses, all showed wry smiles, and they also knew that everything Li Zixiao had analyzed before was not wrong.

"Hey, it seems that the Ming army is really not good, and this also indirectly shows that the strength of the army under Li Zicheng is indeed much stronger.

I have a hunch that the day of the demise of the Ming Dynasty seems to be not far away. ”

Zhao Zilong sighed and said, but then his eyes became wonderful again.

Because he knows that as long as Da Ming is dead, their White Dragon Army should be busy, and Li Zixiao has been waiting for the day when Da Ming dies!

In less than a day, the battle situation in Zhuxian Town has been completely reversed, from the Ming army besieging the Chuang army to the breaking army breaking through and chasing the Ming army.

It seems that it was because of Zuo Liangyu's first defeat that caused the Ming army to suffer a crushing defeat in this battle.

But in essence, Li Zixiao knew that the real reason was that the Ming army had decayed, and its combat power was not as good as before, and the breaking army was no longer what it used to be, and the overall strength of both sides had long since fallen.
