Chapter 181 Defeat, Defeat
Liu Jun was wearing armor and led his personal soldiers and cavalry to gallop in the valley. ◎
Zhang Xianzhong and his cavalry were even more tenacious than Liu Jun imagined. Even if they fought less and less, they were not afraid. The thieves outside the valley kept climbing mountains from both sides, and Liu Jun was not allowed to send more and more troops to intercept these thieves.
The battle between the two sides has been fighting until the afternoon, and it has been killed for nearly five hours, but it has not yet been achieved. Both sides have been repeatedly rushing, creating one corpse after another, and the blood has dyed the rain on the ground red.
The heavy rain failed to extinguish Liu Jun's artillery, but in the end the sound of cannons on the hillsides on both sides of Liu Jun stopped, and there were not many shells left. Liu Jun could only send all the few shells left to Beigukou so that Beigukou Checheng could continue to persevere.
When the war reaches this point, it depends on who can hold on to the last moment.
At this time, the two armies were like dogs intertwined, tangled everywhere, and it was difficult to separate them. The musketeers on the valleys on both sides had already inserted guns and swords at the Lumi muskets, jumped out of the trenches, and rushed towards the thieves rushing in everywhere.
The gunners also dropped their cannons, pulled out their waist knives and rushed forward.
Even Mei Zhihuan, Li Changgeng and Yuan Jixian, who had been in the south entrance, brought their own servants teams. The three of them left behind only a few wounded soldiers guarding the prisoner camp.
Liu Jun knew that the current combat situation was extremely unfavorable to the officers and soldiers, and there was only one way to change this situation, which was to annihilate Zhang Xianzhong's troops as soon as possible, and finally kill Zhang Xianzhong. Once Zhang Xianzhong and his elite cavalry were destroyed, the momentum of the bandits' charge might not be maintained.
Zhang Xianzhong and his cavalry fought in the valley for more than five hours, and they were already exhausted, but they did not give up and did not dare to give up. Once they gave up, they would be immediately rushed up and drowned by the officers and soldiers. The bandits were unwilling to give up. They died in this mud ditch if they were unwilling to give up.
However, after fighting for so long, although they were still persevering and holding on for a while, they were indeed unable to hold on. More than 3,000 bandits were still rushing to kill at this time, less than 500 thieves.
No matter how they rush, they will not be able to break through the interception of the official army.
Mei Zhihuan replaced Liu Jun to command the battlefield. He watched the battlefield with a long sword in his hand. The long mud valley was full of shouts of killing. Some local officials were already chasing the bandit army, while some areas were surrounded by officers and soldiers attacking the bandit army.
This is no longer a simple front line confrontation, but you have me and I have you. But there are still two core points on the entire battlefield. One is in the valley, where Liu Jun is leading the cavalry to confront the bandits who are only a few hundred remaining. The other is Nangukou, although the bandits kept climbing from both sides into the hillsides on both sides of the valley.
But after all, the hillside is not smooth. There are many thieves outside the valley, but the speed of the bandits who climbed from outside into the valley is limited. More bandits were still blocked outside the valley. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of bandits might have flooded the official army. The north entrance has become the most fierce battle place. Liu Jun has already sent the troops of the three battalions here, and the cannons have blown up several doors. In front of the chariot formation, the bodies of the two armies who fought each other were piled up like mountains and blood flowed all over the ground.
Fortunately, the terrain is narrow, and the official army has a car array and artillery fire, so it is difficult for the thieves to break through before the ammunition is exhausted.
"Capture the king first, find out the thief!" Liu Jun rushed to cut down a bandit immediately and shouted at the knights around him.
Zhang Xianzhong was very cunning. He did not have a general flag around him, unlike the official army. Generals at all levels had different flags, and the generals had a general flag. The generals had a thousand general flag, and each had a general flag, which was clear at a glance.
"The thief is too cunning and cannot be found at all." several personal soldiers shouted.
Liu Jun also found it was indeed difficult to find the bandit. After thinking about it, he stopped the horse and turned around to cut off the head of the bandit he had just killed, then stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, took off the spear from the saddle, poked the head on it, and raised it high.
"Kill the thief Xian, kill the thief Xian."
The personal soldiers around Liu Jun were all confused and thought to himself, that person obviously didn't look like a thief, it was obviously an unlucky guy you just killed. There was not even a guard around him, how could it be Zhang Xianzhong?
"Call me and shout loudly, saying that you have killed Zhang Xianzhong, shout loudly."
Although everyone didn't believe it was Zhang Xianzhong, when he saw Liu Jun's request, he shouted loudly.
"Kill the thief Xian, kill the thief Xian!"
The shouts rang out, and then more and more people shouted. Many people really thought that Liu Jun killed Zhang Xianzhong, and shouted excitedly.
The shouts were as high as the other. When the Huguang soldiers, who were already a little exhausted, were all excited when they heard the shouts, and then shouted loudly, even more brave in an instant.
A thief was chopped down to the ground. Before he died, he covered his intestines that were flowing out of his abdomen and stuffed them in, while shouting in despair, "I'm defeated, I'm defeated!"
The bandits next to them were also suddenly excited by the government army and turned around and fled. While they ran away, they shouted, "I lost, I lost!"
"The Eight Kings were killed!"
"The Eight Kings are dead."
"Defeated, defeated."
Many bandits finally collapsed. The breath they had been holding on was suddenly exhausted, and they shouted desperately, "Escape quickly, run!"
"General Governor killed the thief, and he won thousands of victories!"
"The thief Xian was killed by the sect general!"
"Master Gang is mighty!"
Many bandits heard the shout, and then saw Liu Jun wearing armor, riding on a horse, carrying a gun with a disheveled head, and the surroundings were filled with excited officers and soldiers, and they couldn't help but believe it.
Many bandits began to retreat and ran down the mountain from both sides. While running, the news that Zhang Xianzhong had been killed was spread.
The defeat was like a mountain of defeat.
The morale of the bandits finally collapsed. The news of Zhang Xianzhong being killed spread everywhere among the bandits, as fast as the wind. Hearing this news, the bandits who were still charging hesitated, and their offensive paused.
Cao Cao Luo Rucai saw many rebels attacking the mountain at the foot of the mountain defeated and retreated. At the same time, he sighed when he shouted the news that the Eight Kings had been killed.
"Huang Hu is really gone?"
The leaders of the camps such as Xiao Qin King were a little unbelievable, but they also felt that Zhang Xianzhong was trapped in the valley for most of the day and was very likely to be killed by the official army.
"Morany is broken!"
The whole hundred thousand black clouds looked at the more and more people who escaped from the mountains.
"Since the Huanghu is gone, there is no need for us to continue fighting. Let's retreat." said Bai Gui, the little Qin King.
"This official army is really good at fighting." Cao Cao and Luo Rucai sighed helplessly. After five hours of fighting, they didn't even capture the formation of the road valley entrance. For five hours, it was normal for Huang Hu Zhang Xianzhong to be killed in the valley.
"If you don't fight for a while, this official army will probably be exhausted." Heiyun said in detail. "If this official army can be destroyed, it will not only avenge Huang Hu, but also seize their firearms."
In this battle, what impressed them the most was the firearms of the government army. They were too fierce. The artillery fire had not stopped in the car formation at Beigukou until now. For half a day, the artillery fire continued and continued. If it weren't for these artillery fires, they would have captured the firearms. They hadn't seen firearms before, but they had never seen such a fierce firearm.
If you can get these firearms, it will definitely be a big bosom.
Cao Cao and Luo Rucai were a little moved. This time he entered Sichuan, he really had a boat capsized in the gutter. Several battalions of people were trapped in front and back, and even the yellow tiger was gone.
Just as he was hesitating whether to hold on for a while, a whistle horse ran towards him in the rain.
"Reported that Shaanxi deputy general He Renlong and Li Guoqi led 6,000 Shaanxi soldiers to Dachang City."
"He Madman is here? So fast?" Cao Cao took a breath of air conditioning. He Renlong was also an old opponent who had fought with the rebels countless times. He Renlong would be as lucky as the madman when he started a war, so he had a nickname called He Madman. When he mentioned him, the rebels all had a headache.
"Yes, wasn't this He Crazy Man still in Hanzhong before?"
Everyone had an idea in their minds, and He Caizi was here. It was probably Yang Sichang was not far away, and even Grandpa Zuo Liangyu must have arrived.
If the battle in Lannigou made the rebels feel awe of the Huguang soldiers, then they would have a shadow of the generals like Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong.
Several people looked at each other. No one mentioned that they would continue to attack the valley and defeat the Huguang soldiers.
"He Madman is here, Zuo Liangyu must be nearby, and Yang Sichang will not be far away. I can't continue to waste here, so I have to leave immediately."
"Yes, I'll be made into dumplings at night."
"Retreat!" Cao Cao Luo Rucai said without hesitation, "Send someone to inform the Baihu Sect Huo and Deng Tianwang Zhang Shouan and other Huanghu camp generals, and tell them that Yang Sichang has arrived."
The news that He Fengzi and Grandpa Zuo had arrived quickly spread, and Zhang Xianzhong's generals were immediately shaken.
Pan Duao, Zhang Kewang and others asked Luo Rucai to continue the attack.
"The Eight Kings must be alive, it's just a trick of dog officers and soldiers. If you attack again, the official army will not be able to hold on." Pan Duao said.
"Many brothers saw the heads of the government army holding the Huanghu brothers. Besides, Yang Sichang has arrived. He Caizi is in Dachang City. He is only a few dozen miles away from us, and he can arrive in half a day. We will continue to waste here, and there is no place to escape if we want to escape."
Cao Cao sighed, "I know you are very angry, but people cannot be resurrected. Brother Huanghu has gone. We have to consider the remaining brothers. Keep the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood. Let's save it, and we will naturally have the opportunity to avenge the Huanghu brothers in the future. Let's gather it up immediately and withdraw it."
Zhang Kewang and Zhang Ding Guoyi's brothers refused to withdraw. Pan Duao then persuaded them, "Protect the wife and the young master to leave. Let's record the grudge today for now, and we will avenge you later!"
The bandits retreated as soon as they said they could. The bandits were very fast. The sound of gold sounded, and the bandits along the way withdrew their troops and returned to their camps, and then slowly retreated backwards.
Instead of retreating to Dachang, they turned to the southwest, intending to march to Fengjie, Wanxian and Chongqing.
The bandits retreated, and Liu Jun was a little unbelievable when he heard the news, but the result was indeed the case. The bandits who climbed the mountain turned around and fled. There were waves of gold roaring sounds outside, and the shouts of killing gradually weakened.
Liu Jun looked at the head on his spear and smiled slightly. The plan actually succeeded.
"Don't chase the poor enemy!" Liu Jun ordered not to pursue him, just keep the valley entrance tightly. The real Zhang Xianzhong might die in the chaos, or he might still be alive.
The most urgent task now is to see people in life and corpses in death.
Zhang Xianzhong was not dead yet, and he was still fighting with more than 200 cavalry, but suddenly, officers and soldiers everywhere shouted that they had killed the thief, and then the rebels were shouting that they had lost and then the sound of gold sounds sounded, and then the attacks stopped.
The government troops on all sides began to surround him.
Zhang Xianzhong finally understood what was going on. The rebels thought he was dead and had abandoned him.
His eyes swept over the remaining brothers, stained with blood, covered in scars, and had already exhausted and exhausted.
"I'm willing to surrender!" Zhang Xianzhong threw down the weapon in his hand.
The more than 200 cavalry behind him also threw down the swords and guns in his hands.
"Willing to surrender!"
The last few hundred stubborn bandits surrendered, and the battle ended.
Liu Jun rode his horse to the more than 200 riders, glanced at everyone, and then rode his horse to the front of Zhang Xianzhong.
"Zhang Xianzhong, I have heard of Daming for a long time, and I finally met today. Fortunately, I will meet you."
"I'm not the Eight Kings."
"You don't have to deny it. The court has already posted a compilation of your portraits. Before I joined the army, I saw your compilation of your portraits. You can't deceive me." Liu Jun laughed loudly, "Comeone will take down the thief with me."
