At the end of the day, the whistling north wind suddenly hit, the north wind came and went quickly, and after a long time, large snowflakes fell from the sky, and the snowflakes that fluttered one after another soon shrouded the heaven and the earth.

The smashing north wind and the sudden heavy snow seemed to indicate something.

It's a pity that Lu Xiangsheng, who is in full swing, can't take care of these at all, he has a strong literati atmosphere, for the sudden heavy snow, he actually has a heroic spirit, the defeated rogue, many were killed, Lu Xiangsheng ordered the army to pursue along the official road, don't care about those who scattered and fled, according to his experience, all the lost rogues have basically lost their combat effectiveness, and the possibility of escaping to Nanyang Mansion is very small.

The army kept pursuing, and the losses of the rogues were getting bigger and bigger.

During this period, the Liukou also organized several resistances, but these resistances were difficult to stop the pace of the army's pursuit, at most it made the momentum of the attack slightly weaker, and the north and the heavy snow had already delayed the pace of attack and pursuit, which was a normal situation, you must know that the Liukou also had to suffer from the north wind and heavy snow.

However, the problem also arises, more than 8,000 soldiers are no longer in formation, after all, it is to pursue the rogue, it is impossible to maintain a good queue, plus the rogues have cavalry and foot soldiers, and it is impossible for the foot soldiers to run past the cavalry, only waiting for slaughter.

Before I knew it, the sergeant in front had chased me into a large clearing.

The fluttering snow blocked the sergeant's view, and they only cared about chasing and killing.

However, at this time, the defeated Liukou suddenly began to counterattack, this time the counterattack was completely different from the previous ones, the Liukou suddenly became strong, which surprised the pursuing sergeant, and the fight between the two sides began again.

Lu Xiangsheng in the back heard the scout's report. Ordered the army to quicken the pace, make peace with the sergeants in front, and start a fight with the rogues, in his opinion. It may be that the rogues have nowhere to run and make a final struggle.

In the process of retreating, Li Yan had already discovered the problem, that is, the distance between the ambush circle and the Sheqi was too far, and the speed of the rout of the rebel army was too fast. If you blindly let the official army chase and kill, I am afraid that the front army will be lost, such casualties Li Yan and the red lady are difficult to accept, luring the enemy deep does need to pay sacrifices, but it does not need such a big price.

Therefore, it is not enough to blindly flee, it is necessary to organize a certain counterattack, delay the rhythm of the official army's attack, and also allow the rebels to evacuate more, especially the cavalry as much as possible.

The heavy snow that was blowing one after another helped the rebels. The north wind and heavy snow weakened the momentum of the official army's pursuit a little, after all, under the north wind and heavy snow, the people could not withstand it, and the war horses could not bear it.

Li Yan and the Red Lady briefly exchanged opinions, and decided to organize several counterattacks in the middle of the evacuation, which could also allow the official army to completely enter the trap.

The intermittent counterattacks played a huge role, especially when the officers and soldiers were about to stop the pursuit on several occasions, and the rebels suddenly counterattacked. aroused the anger of the officers and soldiers, and they had already launched a desperate fight and pursuit, and it can be said that at this time, even if someone wanted to stop the officers and soldiers. There isn't much more likelihood either.

When approaching the ambush circle, Li Yan was extremely excited, he had accompanied Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, to this ambush circle many times, the terrain here is open, the officials and troops can be completely surrounded by it, and the surrounding area of the open terrain is open. The exit is very small, and the narrowest part is just an official road passing through, which can be described as an excellent ambush location.

Thanks to the boiling snow, the officers and soldiers could not notice the strange terrain here, and the defeat of the rebels with a fake and real rout stimulated the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers, and also made them take care of other things.

Entering the ambush circle, Li Yan let the most powerful 3,000 volunteer soldiers under the command of the Red Lady fight.

The reason why he did this was to let the front army do its best, consume the physical strength of the officers and soldiers as much as possible, so that the ambushed rebels could easily defeat the officers and soldiers, and this arrangement can be described as painstaking.

The 3,000 people who had been retreating continuously finally seized the opportunity and began to fight face-to-face with the officers and soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was obviously stronger, which made the pursuing officers and soldiers feel the pressure.

Lu Xiangsheng was a little strange, the rogues were originally vulnerable, but these rogues in front of him were still a little fierce, at least they were not afraid of death, although their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Tianxiong Army, but the momentum was much stronger than those rogues in front, and the two were completely different.

In Lu Xiangsheng's view, this is the return of the rogue, has been pursued for such a long distance, the rogue has no way to escape, can only do the dying struggle, as long as all these rogue are annihilated, that is the victory in hand, after such a long distance, Lu Xiangsheng also thought that the sergeant would rest a little, after defeating this rogue group, the army can rest on the spot.

A fierce battle has begun, and both sides have done their best.

Lu Xiangsheng was on horseback, watching all this, with a relieved smile on his face.

The scene on the battlefield, Li Zicheng saw it all, he nodded slightly, Li Yan is indeed not simple, he has successfully brought all the officers and soldiers to the ambush circle, and Li Yan also ordered the sergeants to counterattack, which is obviously a consumption of the strength of the officers and soldiers.

When the time for the general attack is up, there is no need to delay, all the officers and troops have entered the ambush circle, it seems that this battle will be able to win a complete victory, and it will be possible to kill or even capture Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng pulled out his sword and raised it high.

A dull cannon fire shook the earth.

The personal soldiers around Li Yan desperately began to shout, demanding that the rebels withdraw quickly and not continue to fight with the officers and soldiers.

When the cannon rang out, Li Yan pulled the red lady's arm, and the two galloped towards the right side of the official road.

A dense rain of arrows appeared instantly.

The officers and soldiers who were fighting, including the rebels who did not have time to evacuate, were instantly surrounded by a rain of arrows.

The officers and soldiers who were caught off guard suffered huge casualties in an instant.

When the cannon sounded, Lu Xiangsheng had already found that the situation was wrong, he had participated in many ambush operations, and at this time he found that the surrounding situation was not good, and it was an excellent place to set up an ambush.

Almost at the same time as the artillery fired, Lu Xiangsheng also ordered the army to withdraw quickly.

At the critical moment, Lu Xiangsheng also made an unforgivable mistake, and the key task at this time was not to evacuate the army quickly, but to gather together immediately. While resisting the ambush, an orderly retreat.

Lu Xiangsheng underestimated the rogues too much, and overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Tianxiong Army.

One wrong step, one wrong step. The mistake has been made and cannot be undone.

The discipline of the Tianxiong army was very strict, and when Lu Xiangsheng's order to retreat was given, they quickly began to retreat, but unfortunately. On the road of their retreat, a large number of rogues have been ambushed.

The dense rain of arrows surrounded the evacuated sergeants, and many of them fell down screaming in the rain of arrows.

The instantaneous change in the situation made the sergeants unable to adapt at all, a few minutes ago, they were still struggling to strangle the rogues, but now they were in the situation of evacuating, in such a short time, thinking about organizing a retreat formation. That can't be done, the sergeant has lost his formation, and at this time he is trying to withdraw by all means.

Lu Xiangsheng quickly discovered his mistake, but there was no chance of reversing it.

In the dense rain of arrows, the rogues began to attack.

The surging rogues from all directions made Lu Xiangsheng feel hopeless, there were too many rogues.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng thought of Cao Wenzhao.

There is no chance of a smooth evacuation, and at this time, you can only organize a fight.

Lu Xiangsheng's order was issued again. It is an order to attack and fight.

The evacuated sergeant of the Tianxiong Army, as well as the other sergeants, turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the rogues.

By this time. All the sergeants understood that they were surrounded, ambushed by the rogues, and blindly evacuated, without any chance, only to fight hard. See if there's a last chance.

The fierce battle unfolded in an instant......

Li Zicheng did not expect that the official army was in such a situation, and it was still able to launch an attack, such a fighting spirit was not possessed by the righteous army, and at the same time, he gave the order for a comprehensive general attack, raised the spear in his hand, and joined the fighting battle group.

Liu Zongmin followed closely and also joined the fighting group.

The Red Lady and the others all joined the battle group......

An hour passed, and the snow grew heavier and showed no signs of stopping.

There are not many sergeants around Lu Xiangsheng, there are too many rogues, even if the sergeant of the Tianxiong Army has three heads and six arms, he is unable to resist, not to mention the long-distance attack, which has consumed too much strength of the sergeant, and in the face of the rogue who has been prepared for a long time, the sergeant's physical strength is obviously not able to support it.

The Tianxiong Army created by Lu Xiangsheng was about to suffer casualties.

Not a single sergeant surrendered, and all fought until they fell.

Lu Xiangsheng's blood boiled, he already knew today's ending, and at this time, he thought of Zheng Xunrui's letter.

After calling the captain of the pro-soldiers beside him, Lu Xiangsheng spoke with a calm face.

"You must rush out, go to Huai'an, find Lord Zheng, and tell Lord Zheng all the circumstances of this battle, the one who can avenge this commander is Lord Zheng, and others can't be relied on."

After speaking, Lu Xiangsheng took out the jade plate and handed it to the captain of the pro-soldiers.

The captain of the pro-soldier had tears in his eyes, he knew the temper of the commander, and it was useless to say anything at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the soldiers around him, and his face became grim.

"You escort the captain of the pro-soldier to rush out, you must rush out, and report the situation here to Lord Zheng, the imperial court, the imperial court, hehe......"

After the arrangement, Lu Xiangsheng raised the steel knife in his hand and prepared to rush towards the battle group.

The captain of the pro-soldier quickly dismounted and knelt in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

"Take care, your subordinates will definitely find Lord Zheng and complete your entrustment." ……

The battlefield finally quieted down, and there were no more sergeants around Lu Xiangsheng.

With tears in his eyes, Lu Xiangsheng pulled out his steel knife and muttered to himself.

"Brothers, I, Lu Xiangsheng, am sorry for you, we will meet underground, and I will take you to continue to fight when the time comes."

A cold light swept by, blood splattered out, and Lu Xiangsheng shook a few times and fell from the horse. (To be continued.) )
