When Wei Lianheng heard Xia Nan's words, his heart moved, and he said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone shouts together: Li Jiucheng is dead!" ”

While skillfully loading ammunition, the soldiers shouted: "Li Jiucheng is dead!" ”

At first, only a few dozen soldiers in the middle were shouting, and then the soldiers on both sides also shouted, and finally spread to both ends of the horizontal team, and the entire Qiongzhou battalion was like a relay, "Li Jiucheng is dead!" The shouts came and went. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The rebels who were staring at the dense rain of bullets were stunned, the main general was actually killed? Due to the chaos at the time of the impact, most of the rebels did not find that Li Jiucheng had been shot and died, and even his body was trampled on the ground by the horse's hooves and was not human.

Li Jiucheng is not only the chief general of the rebel cavalry, but also the backbone of the entire Shandong rebel army. The rebellion was planned by him, Kong Youde only passively cooperated, and he participated in the command of the large and small battles after the army, and the core of the rebel army, the Liaodong soldiers, respected him very much. Now that the other party is shouting that Li Jiucheng is dead, although a small number of rebels still have a fluke mentality, thinking that this is just the other side's trick, most of the rebels have already believed this fact -- with Li Jiucheng's irritable temperament, they would have already cursed him when they heard the other party curse him like this. And now, no matter how the other party shouts, there is no response.

The morale of the rebels in the impact suddenly dropped to freezing, and they subconsciously slowed down the speed of the charge, what should they do now, should they continue to rush up, or should they turn back and fight to the death with the Guanning army?

This hesitation gave the Qiongzhou battalion a chance, and the dense rain of bullets continued to harvest the lives of the rebels, and from time to time the rebel soldiers fell off their horses, and the war horses fell to the ground, and the sharp spirit when they charged just now was completely lost.

At this time, the Guan Ning army had already rushed up, Zu Dabi took the lead, roaring and waving his saber and rushed into the enemy formation, and the battle between the cavalry and the cavalry began again. The rebels had no time to storm the Qiongzhou battalion's horizontal column and were forced to turn around and engage in hand-to-hand combat with a formidable opponent.

Wei Lian asked for instructions from Xia Nan: "Do you want to continue shooting?" ”

Xia Nan shook his head: "Guan Ningjun is not a Shandong soldier, and the people of the ancestral family are not Liu Zeqing, so they can't be offended now." Now that the rebels have stopped attacking, and Li Jiucheng is dead, our goal has basically been achieved, in order to avoid accidental injury, give people a handle, stop shooting! ”

The Qiongzhou battalion stopped firing and simply remained on alert. The situation of the battle over there soon became clear.

The rebels were not the opponents of the Guan Ning army, coupled with the sharp drop in morale, and the other party was waiting for work, and soon showed its decline, and the rest of the people had no intention of fighting and fled in all directions. Cavalry battles, running away is taboo, exposing the back to the opponent is tantamount to death, Guan Ningjun chased after it and easily ended up with the lives of these people.

Seeing that the general trend was gone, they could not fight, and they could not escape, and the few remaining rebels jumped off their horses, threw away their weapons, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, just to save their lives.

Xia Nan and the others here thought that Guan Ningjun was going to capture prisoners, but they didn't expect them to mean this at all, so they rode their horses and ran past the kneeling rebels, and cut off their heads with a light knife. The rest of the people found that even the way to surrender was blocked, and in desperation, they picked up their sabers and prepared to re-mount their horses and die with their opponents, but the Guan Ning army did not give them a chance, and one after another of the cavalry swept by, and everyone was cut down with a knife before they could get on their horses.

Xia Nan shook his head, in terms of slaughtering enemies who had no will to resist, Guan Ningjun was far superior to himself.

Half an hour later, the battle ended, and all the rebel cavalry was killed, leaving not a single one alive. And the rebel infantry who played soy sauce had already broken and fled when the cavalry was flanked by the Guanning Army and the Qiongzhou battalion. The Qiongzhou battalion can't do anything about this, and the Guanning army attaches more importance to Li Jiucheng's cavalry unit, so they have no time to take care of it, and after the battle, these people are almost gone, so they don't care about them.

In the place where the battle took place, blood flowed into a small river, mutilated corpses everywhere, both Shandong soldiers and rebels, and ownerless war horses wandered nearby, neighing from time to time, as if lamenting the tragedy of the battle.

The soldiers of the Guanning army jumped off their horses one after another, turning the corpses on the ground with their sabers, as if to check whether there were valuable soft belongings, and the generals led by Zu Dabi gathered together, talked for a while, and then urged the horses to walk in the direction of the Qiongzhou camp.

Summer Nan thought to herself, the good show is coming. The total annihilation of thousands of rebel cavalry and the killing of Li Jiucheng are all great contributions in the entire process of counterinsurgency, and can only be overshadowed by the recovery of Dengzhou. I didn't expect that I would be able to put on such a big scene as soon as I appeared, and what I didn't expect was that the opponent who competed for credit was the Guan Ning Army, who had always been strong and proud, and if they didn't get it right, they might want to swallow all the merits alone.

He took a deep breath, no matter what, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and when they see the move, they can't let the other party take all the credit. The Guanning army has always been above the top, and does not take other Ming armies in its eyes, but the Qiongzhou battalion is not vegetarian. He ordered: "Order the soldiers to put down their guns and not to provoke the Guanning army." But loose on the outside and tight on the inside, stay vigilant. ”

Zu Dabi and the others walked to the front of the Qiongzhou camp, and then stopped at Lerma. Wu Sangui said to Xia Nan with a smile: "General Xia Shen has trained a good soldier, this bird soldier advances and retreats in a certain way, like an arm command, and is not chaotic in the face of danger, it is really a strong army!" If you hadn't dragged Li Jiucheng, we might not have been able to win this battle smoothly. ”

Xia Nan breathed a sigh of relief, these words were equivalent to defining the nature of the battle, at least the Guan Ning army had no intention of monopolizing all the credit. However, he did not dare to be careless, and replied cautiously: "Thanks for the compliment." However, compared to it, the bravery of your department makes me admire the five bodies to the ground, able to annihilate the elite cavalry of the rebel army, and there are not many casualties among themselves, only your department can sit down, Guanning Iron Cavalry is worthy of its name, and it is indeed the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty! ”

The sedan chair carries people, you praise me a few words, I also praise you a few words, everyone loves to listen to good words, a smile appeared on Zu Dabi's face. Although I have heard a lot of similar words, the combat effectiveness of the Qiongzhou battalion is obvious to all, and it has been recognized by the generals of the Guanning Army.

Wu Sangui said with a smile: "I have won awards." He pointed to Zu Dabi and introduced, "Introduce to General Xia Shen, this is the chief general of the Guan Ning Army this time, Zu Dabi, the deputy general of Shanhaiguan." ”

Xia Nan arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be General Zu, and I have admired it for a long time." ”

Zu Dabi nodded, which was a response.

Wu Sangui then introduced: "This is the guerrilla general Zu Kuan, this is the Qianzong Zhang Tao, and this is the father Wu Xiang......"

When Wu Xiang was introduced, Xia Nan smiled slightly, the future traitor father and son had arrived.
