Li Maochun condescended from Fengtai Ridge, and after defeating Chen Lu's troops all the way, he continued to march towards Li Yan's main force with the momentum of a great victory.

In the face of the Ming army that had just defeated Chen Lu's troops, Li Yan's Shun army seemed to have melted into battle spirit and retreated one after another.

On the contrary, the Ming army, which took advantage of the situation to pursue, suddenly increased in courage in such a big victory, and countless Ming soldiers picked up the weapons in their hands and chased them all the way.

They pursued them very smoothly, and there was hardly any fierce fighting on the way. Li Yan's Shun army retreated very quickly, all the way from Xifengtai to Pingdingzhou, until it reached the small mountains and forests more than ten miles outside the state city, and then was picked up by the Shun army left behind. After some blocking, Li Maochun no longer attacked. He began to pack up his troops.

I can't help him not to clean it up.

Along the way, there were Ming soldiers scattered all over the place. These soldiers of the Ming army, who belonged to the three systems of different qualities, were all red-eyed, and they saw the armor and heavy equipment of the Shun army scattered all over the place, and they were all trying their best to pick them up. So much so that the Shun army lost all the way, and the Ming army picked it up all the way.

In the end, there were less than three or four hundred people still chasing Li Maochun.

Even the pro-army soldiers around Li Maochun began to pick up things along the way.

If Li Maochun doesn't take action again, any counter-charge of the Shun army can rewrite the victory or defeat.

Shunjun did not do this.

An hour later, it was already afternoon, and only an hour before sunset, Li Maochun finally swept the ground with difficulty.

Of course, Li Maochun didn't want to be a street sweeper, but if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to reunite the Ming army.

When Li Maochun proposed to return to the camp to rest and reorganize the army, the officers and men in the army were finally excited, full of anticipation for the next continuation of the defeat of the Shun army and the victory.

Li Maochun didn't look forward to how many kills he could take with his soldiers.

He was embarrassed to discover something terrible. This is that the Ming army's gains are quite rich in materials, but there are very few in the war exploits.

An ambush was killed, and in the end, there were only more than 30 heads in Li Maochun's hands.

Of course, the combat exploits of the battle are calculated by the first rank, and how many heads are cut off in the end, how many combat exploits can be reported. If Emperor Chongzhen was in the past when he was in power, the various departments could call it a big victory after killing dozens of bandits, and then it would be enough to falsely report a war exploit.

But Li Maochun thought a lot about this.

For a general, defeating Li Yan, the general of the Shun army, who has more than 10,000 troops, dozens of heads are indeed enough.

But for the one in the back, dozens of heads are obviously not enough. The military merits are too small, and the dignified cabinet scholars will definitely not look down on them.

Thinking about it, Li Maochun called his henchman, President Xu Deyi.

Xu Deyi is a middle-aged martial artist with a rather thin body, with a pair of small and narrow eyes, and as soon as he came in, he congratulated Li Maochun on his victory one after another.

This is a very thoughtful and clever officer.

Li Maochun was obviously very familiar with Xu Deyi, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he said: "Don't be in a hurry to congratulate this battle, you don't understand how others are, how this battle is fought, you can't see it clearly?" ”

Xu Deyi laughed a few times and said, "It's a pity, there are so many military exploits after the first battle, and even Chen Lu, who was originally regarded as a turtle in the urn, didn't catch it." It's a shame......"

"Hmph, since you know, you have to think of a way to solve it. Next, continue to attack Pingdingzhou, but you may not be able to win again......" Li Maochun said, his eyes were a little evasive, he thought about it, and said: "I have drawn up your roster on top of the meritorious service, but there are dozens of heads at a glance, and it is too much of a waste of such an opportunity......

Xu Deyi's eyes lit up slightly, his heart was anxious, and he immediately said: "My lord! I've got a way to do it! Isn't it just a few heads, there are so many ways! ”

"Oh?" Li Maochun looked sideways.

Xu Deyi leaned over in a low voice and said a few words carefully, which immediately made Li Maochun's eyes light up: "Okay! It's up to you to do it! This matter is done, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, not to mention a guerrilla general, even the position of a general who is sitting now in this official can also be taken down for you! ”

"The villain didn't dare to ...... That's the position of an adult......" Xu Deyi laughed a few times, but his eyes became hot.

Li Maochun kicked over: "It's not your turn to worry about the position of the general, and the general is tired of sitting on the general's chair." ”

Xu Deyi is already a clever person, why don't you understand when you hear this? Immediately, I guessed what Li Maochun meant in these words. Obviously, Li Maochun is very confident that after this battle, he can be promoted to a higher position than the general.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Deyi was greatly encouraged, said a few words, ran out of the house in a row, lit up the soldiers and horses and started to work.

……

At the same time, another small group also walked among the mountain paths.

Compared with the Ming army under Li Maochun, which was scattered and unevenly clothed, the painting style of this army has changed greatly. The entire army was dressed in the same uniform, except for the front and middle parts, where each of the three parts wore more than 100 people wearing armor, and most of the soldiers only passed a single scarlet single coat. The single garment was well-cut, with narrow sleeves and a waist, a stand-up collar and modern shirt-like buttons, which made it very different from the rest of the army.

Although he was not wearing armor, such a soldier walking in the mountains and roads looked more effective than the Ming soldiers of Li Maochun's troops scattered all over the mountains and fields in the flat land.

Moreover, what makes people quite eye-catching is that there are a lot of mules and horses in the Ming army at this step, and various vehicles such as chicken carts, flatbed carts, and four-**** carriages are distributed everywhere.

Numerous carriages, mules and horses dragged one after another earthy yellow packages, and the packages were bulging, looking like local tyrants.

All kinds of carriages and horses and more than 1,000 people stretched the whole team obliquely, and it was almost impossible to see the strength before and after.

As soon as such a long-tongued team appeared on the mountain road of Taihang Mountain, it aroused a pair of eyes. At first, many people retreated when they looked at the many guards.

But gradually, as the team went deeper and deeper into the ancient road, more and more covetous eyes began to appear on the cliffs on both sides of the road.

Finally, when the whole team arrived all the way to Dongyao Ridge, the team stopped.

"It feels like something is wrong......" Xu Huanwu narrowed his eyes and sniffed the subtle sensation in the air.

Qi Shan vigilantly picked up the three-eyed gun in his hand: "All prepared, second-level vigilance!" ”

"Whoa!" As the heralds passed down the news one by one, the echoes came out of the entire mountain road, accompanied by the response of the soldiers who responded to him, completely breaking the peace of the valley.

Gu Yanwu fought on the horse, looked at the mountain roads on both sides, and said, "We seem to be ambushed." ”

It is a mountain valley with a road in the middle of the valley floor, and the mountains are lined with steep cliffs, on which no grass grows, barren and desolate.

At this moment, everything is silent, revealing a strange murderous intention.

Gu Yanwu smelled the same smell: "It's an ambush." ”

"Brothers of Yangqu Mountain, rush down to Lao Tzu! Let's Taihang Eighteen Villages, let's do a big vote today! ”

"Where is my good man from Baishi Mountain, surround the mouth in the south!"

"Brothers in Dongling Mountain, this vote is dried up today, and you can collect the mountain in half a year! Plug the opening in the north! ”

"Kill!"

……

There was an uproar, and countless crowds of people rushed down in all directions in no particular order.

Looking at the bandits crowded over the mountains, Xu Huanwu smiled.

Gu Yanwu nodded slowly towards Qi Shan: "According to the original plan, I will come here this time and will not interfere with the orders of the military commander." I believe that the battle heroes of my Royal Guards Legion can deal with a group of petty thieves, and they don't need our legion-level cardinal division to make a move......"

After speaking, Gu Yanwu and Xu Huanwu looked at the bandits who were killing from all sides, and their expressions were not only not scared at all, but they also had some expectations.

"If we throw stones on the cliffs on both sides, we are really afraid."

"There are many ravines and rivers here, and the stones that roll down may not hit us. However, these bandits come from different sources, and there must be bandits who are unwilling to drop a bunch of stones when the time comes, and when the time comes, they block the road and let others take the ......lead."

"Rushing up, the ability of these bandits to work is really unchanged for eternity......"

"Isn't there anything else here that I opened, this tree is a stalk I planted...... It's rude......"

"Senior, don't complain, they're calling......"

……

Gu Yanwu and Xu Huanwu said a word, commenting on each other, as if they didn't take the raid of these bandits seriously.

In contrast, Qi Shan instead had a tense face, and a series of battle orders were issued, which immediately made the main army move quickly. The queue, which had stretched for miles like a long snake, began to change in an instant. The small cars were piled up at the intersection on both sides, and the various departments shrank behind the large and small vehicles under the command of their own small flags.

With the sound of a clatter, more than a dozen trolleys quietly circled, and a temporary battle fortification was constructed, and the trolleys were firmly tied into a circle, protecting the small flag units in them.

Then, the baggage soldiers who had no armor were transformed.

I saw them uncover the wooden planks from under the cars, and then the clanging sound sounded. Long spears and short knives were drawn out one after another.

In an instant, the originally harmless baggage team turned into a hedgehog with a cart camp on the outside and a sword and gun inside.

What is even more ferocious is that those soldiers in armor and sharp armor quickly gathered in the open space, and then completed the battle preparations in the afterlife of their respective general flags.

"The rear team has completed combat preparations!"

"The squadron has completed operational readiness!"

The relay went to the front team, that is, the team led by Qi Shan. Qi Shan looked around at the more than 100 soldiers around him, looked at the countless bandits killed in front of him, and said, "Are the soldiers ready?" Tell me, I'll just answer me with one word! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

The sound of killing in the sky made Wei Rong on the side shout and shout, and they all dismounted and dragged the war horses into the camp and lined up with longbows: "This group of people who don't have long eyes are taking us as those soldiers!" ”

Everyone knew which soldiers Wei Rong was talking about, and when they heard it at the moment, they were even more excited in their hearts.

The mountain king who rushed out first, wearing a tiger skin and a jade belt around his waist, suddenly stopped, looking at the shocking change in front of him, which was only a hundred breaths of time, and his mouth was long enough to swallow a duck egg.

As soon as the king of the mountain stopped, a small minion behind him put it on head-on, and said, "Big boss, what happened?" ”

"This ...... Isn't this the baggage team that Guguan went to make up for the conscription army? Why is Teniang so armored in an instant...... A soldier with a complete set of armor is as powerful as a heavenly soldier? "The big boss is the master of the cottage in Baishi Mountain, and he is respected as the king of summer by the villagers, and he is really a person who cries within a radius of thirty miles. But at this moment, when I saw the fat sheep passing by and become a tiger, my heart suddenly cooled.

Many mountain kings are in the same mood as summer kings.

But at this moment, there is no turning back arrow from the bow, and the rush is all rushed, and it is impractical to take it back halfway. What's more, how can there be so many people with shrewd eyes.

"You...... You go and inform the nine masters, and his team should not rush out first. Leave a way back for my Xia Jiazhai. Go, go! The summer king grabbed the little minion and roared a few words in a low voice, looked at the armor soldiers in front of him with iron armor reflecting the cold light, and shouted loudly: "Kill his mother, rob his mother, and give birth to a child next year without worrying about food!" ”

"Kill!"

The bandits who rushed down from the mountains all over the mountains shouted slogans and rushed out one after another.

In the summer, Wang's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he found that the people from Chen Bingzhai in Yangqu Mountain, who had traveled hundreds of miles, rushed to kill the most ruthlessly. This is a new cottage, and the leader Chen Sangun is a fierce man from the border army, known as an enemy who can't win with three guns after so many years of fighting with others. After the construction of Chen Bingzhai, he took in a lot of wandering soldiers, and he lived a very nourishing life, and he liked to do something to the yamen.

As soon as the fight started at this moment, Chen Sangun took the lead, leading Chen Bingzhai to step forward and kill the little minions, dragging the team back and forth, so it was not majestic.

In the summer, the king's eyes were hot, but his pace slowed down.

The bandits rushed faster and faster, and in an instant, the entire valley was crowded with people, except for the most central circle, forming a small cart camp to resist the bandits.

"Listen to me, get ready!" A middle-spirited baritro sounded, and Qi Shan picked up the firearm in his hand.

It was a special fire, not equipped with a long arquebus like a normal arquebus, but a more elaborate flintlock mechanism.

Qi Shan looked at the fire gun in his hand and slowly put it down.

Ahead, Chen Sangun looked at the officers and soldiers who were guarding in front of him, and his face was full of disdain: "A group of waste, guarding this thousands of stones of rice grain, it is better to give it to me!" ”

"Kill!"

……

Qi Shan's index finger hooked the trigger and slowly pressed it down.

Card Wipe ......

With a soft sound, the trigger slammed into the flint and ignited the gunpowder after collecting countless sparks.

Rumble......

With countless gentle roars, the lead flew out in an instant, spreading a fire net and netting the thick Chen San gun in front of him.

After a round of firing was fired, a few bandits who had rushed the fastest first quietly fell.

"Attack!"

An indifferent order was shouted, and the three armor soldiers lined up to kill.

More than 300 soldiers rushed back and forth like knives into butter, like cutting leeks, and the enemy in front of them had no combined strength.

A quarter of an hour later.

In the summer, the king crawled into a stream, and finally escaped and hid in a small mountain village. (To be continued.) )
