Chapter 882: Breaking through the feathers, Zhong Zi refuses to surrender

As soon as the soldiers and horses of the Li Dynasty left the city, Zhong Xiang initially let the army carrying out the siege task resist, creating a false impression for the Li Dynasty's army, making it think that Zhong Xiang's army was afraid that they would break through.

However, after the anxious battle lasted for a long time, suddenly the sound of gold sounded in the rear of Zhong Xiang's army, and when thousands of Zhong Xiangjun, who had always had the upper hand, suddenly stopped the attack of guns and artillery and retreated, Liu Qingtan, the deputy marshal of the Li Dynasty who led the troops out of the city, was overwhelmed in a short time.

Liu Qingtan was the elder of the three dynasties of the Li Dynasty, and his overwhelm was only for a moment.

When he saw that the Zhong Xiangjun array outside the south gate was retreating in a big way, and the vast plains farther away from the south gate were impossible to lure them forward and set up an ambush to encircle and annihilate them, he still quickly issued an order and ordered the army under his command to catch up with him.

Liu Qingtan was eager to break through, he didn't want the little emperor Li Yanghuan in the city to become a turtle in an urn and be caught by that Zhong Xiang. So when the army launched a pursuit, he lost the stability of the old marshal and charged at the forefront of the army.

Ordered to lead troops to surround outside the south gate, Zhong Xiangjun's grand prize Chen Qin. As soon as he saw Liu Qingtan leading his troops to chase after him, he did not mess up at all, and still let the more than 3,000 soldiers under his command fight and leave in an orderly manner.

After Liu Qingtan chased and Chen Qin fought and walked for about half an hour, when Chen Qin replaced Liu Qingtan's nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses with 500 losses, Liu Qingtan knew that he was still in the scheme.

Why did Liu Qingtan understand that he had been tricked? That's because when Chen Qin retreated through a sparse forest and came to an unusually open flat land, he suddenly changed his tactics of fighting and walking. After the army changed into the front army, and after the artillery was suppressed, the guns were fired, and Chen Qin's subordinates suddenly turned their heads and bombarded the pursuers as if they were desperate.

Chen Qin's team turned around and fought back, and Liu Qingtan's remaining more than 30,000 soldiers and horses suddenly couldn't bear it and rushed out to the two wings in a panic.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Just as the soldiers under Liu Qingtan's command rushed to the two wings to avoid the rain of bullets from the front of Chen Qin's army, bursts of explosions sounded from the two wings, bursts of fire erupted, and thousands of Annan soldiers got into the "thunder array" preset by Zhong Xiang and Chen Qin, and were blown up.

Thousands of people were killed and wounded by rolling mines in an instant, and they lost their ability to fight. Liu Qingtan realized that the thunder and fires that came out of the ground would not be the only ones, there must be more.

Realizing this, he immediately ordered his entire army to assemble in the area where the forward army had rushed, and then retreat first, without further wandering to the flanks.

The assembly of the Annan army, Chen Qin became happy. When the Annan army began to assemble, Chen Qin first sent about 2,000 firecrackers to press the Annan army from the front, and continued to use the rain of bullets to slant and frantically harvest the lives of the Annan people.

At the same time, Chen Qin personally led a battalion and 500 men to follow closely behind the firecrackers and turned around and advanced in the direction of the south gate. However, although Chen Qinqin led the 500 people who also had firecrackers and bazookas in their hands, they did not join the sequence of chasing and killing Annan soldiers, but dug pits as they walked, and then took out rolling mines from the back basket behind them and rearranged the thunder array.

In order to cover the 500 people led by Chen Qin to lay mines and set up a formation, the artillery battalion further away was not idle. Six old-fashioned artillery pieces that had been eliminated by the Central Plains Royal Army fired continuous salvos, throwing one shell after another directly behind Liu Qingtan, directly blocking the way for Liu Qingtan to retreat with artillery fire.

There were 2,000 bells in front of him and guns in front of him, and there was artillery fire in the back to block the retreat, Liu Qingtan saw this situation and completely understood that Chen Qin had laid a huge trap for him early. And this trap is almost unsolvable for the Annan people.

However, there is no endless road, and the old marshal Liu Qingtan worshipped a high monk as a teacher in his early years, and his Buddhist magic helped him a great favor at the most critical time.

A burst of spells unfolded, and before the two thousand Zhong Xiangjun rushed to the vicinity of his handsome banner, Liu Qingtan used his life's strength to cast the "golden light illusion" in the Buddhist spell, and took about seven or eight hundred Annan soldiers around him to move out of a thousand steps away in an instant after a burst of golden light, and escaped from Chen Qinjun's front and rear attacks.

After escaping from the front and rear attacks, Liu Qingtan did not dare to be careless against the enemy, and as soon as his feet stood firm, he immediately fled back to Thang Long City with the less than 800 people around him.

And behind Liu Qingtan, the Annan soldiers who were abandoned and thrown away by him saw that the commander had cast a spell on his own and fled, and the fighting spirit in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Moments later, hordes of Annan soldiers fell to their knees on the battlefield. They threw away their weapons one after another, and rushed to the nearest Zhong Xiangjun to bow down and beg to surrender......

Outside the south gate, Liu Qingtan was defeated and fled to Huilong City. Outside the east gate, Chen Boyu, the left minister of the Li Dynasty, who led the troops out of the city all the way, encountered the same situation almost at the same time as Liu Qingtan.

First, there was a scorching battle between the two sides, and then Li Guangyuan, a general under the command of the king of Linyi County, suddenly led his troops to retreat, and Chen Boyu was also introduced into the thunder array.

However, unlike the situation at the South Gate, Li Guangyuan's men did not have as many firearms under Chen Qin. He only had 1,000 guns, so Li Guangyuan first paid the price of as many as 3,000 soldiers killed before retreating to lure the enemy. However, Li Guangyuan dared to work hard, and naturally he also had the confidence to work hard.

When he completed the strategy of luring the enemy and retreated backwards, Chen Boyu, who thought that if he caught up with him, he would be able to completely annihilate the Shang Shang regimental army under Li Guangyuan, and realized that he was going to be finished as soon as he rushed into the thunder array. Because it was in his army that he caught up with the tail of Li Guangyuan's retreating soldiers, and suddenly killed a firearm of about 2,000 people from behind Li Guangyuan.

As soon as those elite firecrackers were killed, bullets rained down and fire bullets jumped wildly, but in a very short period of time, Chen Boyu, who had more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, lost tens of thousands of troops.

Before Chen Boyu could react, another fire cavalry of 500 people appeared on his two flanks, which was 1,000 of the 3,000 fire cavalry under Zhong Xiang's command.

After the 1,000 people kept moving on the two wings and firing, and after a few reciprocating guerrillas, Chen Boyu was hit by stray bullets, and he also killed six or seven thousand people under his command by the way.

As soon as Chen Boyu was injured, the lieutenants around him immediately panicked. Fortunately, one of Chen Boyu's troops was the national teacher of the Li Dynasty, and when he saw that the commander was seriously injured, the national teacher immediately cast a spell, and also used a spell to send Chen Boyu and his more than 2,000 personal soldiers back to Thang Long City directly.

Two thousand soldiers ran away with Chen Boyu, and the Annan army outside the east gate also wanted to kneel and beg for mercy and save their lives like those outside the south gate. But what Li Guangyuan didn't expect was that Zhong Ziqi, the son of Zhong Xiang, who had 3,000 strange soldiers, did not give those people a chance to get out of the thunder array alive, and launched a massacre around the defeated soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy......
