Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 214 The whole army pursues the enemy!Mountain Road Sniper!
Ma Gan was also standing on a big rock, and through the thin winter trees, he saw the Chuangjun receding like a tide, his expression excited but also a little embarrassed.

Because he remembered the scene of persuading Li Dingguo not to take risks before the fight started.

Originally, when he saw the equipment of the new army and the morale of the soldiers after the major reorganization in Chengdu, he knew that the combat effectiveness of the new army had improved a lot.

But it never occurred to them that even in the field, facing twice as many elite invaders, the new army would be able to defend with ease.

It should be noted that now is not the time when thousands of officers and soldiers were chasing tens of thousands of rogues all over the place a few years ago.

After these years of fighting, Li Zicheng's Chuangjun not only accumulated a large number of elite soldiers with high combat literacy, but also improved the quality of Chuangjun's equipment through the capture after the victory.

In addition, in the past two years, the Chuang army won successive battles against the official army, which made the morale of the Chuang army high when facing the official army.

Various factors have made the officers and soldiers vulnerable to a single blow in the past one or two years before they broke into the army, and even fled.

Ma Gan originally thought that even the newly reorganized army in Chengdu would need one or two victories in order to regain morale and form a psychological advantage against the new army.

Unexpectedly, in this battle, even though Li Dingguo deliberately retained the means of combat such as cannons and flintlocks, the new army of the Ming Dynasty still relied on their tenacious fighting will to repel the attacks of the Chuang army time and time again, and even performed with ease.

This undoubtedly shows that the combat effectiveness of the Chengdu New Army is much higher than that of today's Chuang Army.

While Ma Gan was thinking about this, Li Dingguo, who was not far away, saw that the Chuangjun had begun to withdraw from the formation at the foot of the mountain, and said: "Pass my military order! With the second battalion of the Fourth Town of the Frontier Defense Army as the forward, the new garrison in Kuizhou The town is the central army, and the remaining troops in the fourth town of the frontier defense army are the rear army, chasing the enemy!"

"Respect!"

Following the announcement of Li Dingguo's military order, the battalions of the Ming army that had already prepared immediately went down the mountain in an orderly manner, chasing after the retreating troops.

···
"Mianhou, why didn't the Ming army chase after us when we retreated? Even if we were in danger of being defeated by our counterattack, as long as we were entangled, when other Ming troops arrived, we would not be able to escape no matter what.

They are hanging behind like this now, so they are sure to be able to block them? "

On the way, Liu Tichun, who suffered the largest loss of soldiers under his command, retreated together with Yuan Zongdi's Chinese army.

So he took the opportunity to talk to Yuan Zongdi about his doubts.

Since he realized that Li Dingguo deliberately wanted to lure them to attack and wanted to keep them, Liu Tichun felt that Li Dingguo's weird marching command was full of malice against the invading army.

Yuan Zongdi was very irritable at this time, his brows were tightly wrapped, and after hearing Liu Tichun's question, he said impatiently: "How do you know? If you have the time to think about this, why don't you go to the front to investigate in person, and find a way to avoid intercepting them. Ming army."

Liu Tichun's face was a little ugly, but he still clasped his fists to accept the order, "The last general accepts the order!"

After speaking, he took the remaining more than 100 soldiers and went forward.

Liu Tichun led his own troops to cross over groups of low-moralized troops at a faster speed, and it didn't take long to catch up with Liu Rukui's troops who were leading the way.

It was discovered that Liu Rukui's troops had stopped at some point.

So he found Liu Rukui and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Liu Rukui frowned tightly, and said: "The spies came to report that there were [-] to [-] Ming troops more than a mile away, blocking the main road. If you want to fight them, you have to go over the mountain and take a detour."

Liu Tichun immediately said: "Both sides are dangerous mountains and dense forests, and there are no roads. Even if the army can overcome it, it will definitely slow down the marching speed and let Li Dingguo behind catch up.

Since the Ming army is blocking the front, we can only fight, and we must fight quickly! "

Liu Rukui said: "There are only a few thousand people, how can we fight them before the people behind come up?

And don't you think it's weird?There are so many roads leading to Taiping County, how could the Ming army be sure that we would retreat from this one, just blocking the main road? "

During the communication between the two, Li Laiheng who followed behind also led his troops to follow.

Knowing the situation, he said: "I don't think we can fight. Why don't we go to the next mountain to set up a position and leave one army to stop the pursuers, and let the others flee over the mountain."

Liu Tichun stared at him and said: "Your idea is not reliable at all. Let alone what to do with those who stay to stop the pursuers, even if the large army has crossed this mountain, how do you know that you will never meet the Ming army again?" Intercept?"

"Then what do you say?!"

Seeing that the army was in danger, Liu Tichun, Li Laiheng and others were full of anger, and quarreled after a few words.

In this way, until Yuan Zongdi arrived after learning about the situation, several people could not come up with a definite solution.

Although Yuan Zongdi was also full of anger, he was more mature and the coach after all.

He knew that the longer they dragged on, the less chance they would break through, so he said decisively: "Before Li Dingguo catches up, you first try to rush to the Ming army blocking the way.

I can't believe it, all the Ming army is as difficult to fight as the army led by Li Dingguo! "

"What if you really can't fight?" Liu Rukui asked.

"Then retreat to the mountain for defense, and send someone to ask for help from the Yaohuang Shisan family in the county."

Liu Rukui said: "In my opinion, even if we can break through the obstruction of the Ming army in front, it will be difficult to fight the battle behind.

In this case, it is better to send a small group of people over the mountain to Taiping County for help now. "

If you don't take a well-formed path and cross mountains and mountains, it will greatly reduce the marching speed for the army, and even cause the army to collapse and be unable to gather again.

However, for small elites, crossing mountains and ridges can reach their destination faster.

So Yuan Zongdi nodded after hearing this, his eyes moved back and forth on several people.

As a coach, it is definitely impossible for him to leave.

So who are the remaining candidates?
In the end, Yuan Zongdi's eyes fell on Liu Tichun, and said: "Two Tigers, you have the fewest soldiers now, so you can bring your own soldiers to ask for help."

Liu Tichun was not very willing, and said: "In terms of soldiers and horses, he is not much less than Laiheng now. He is the youngest kid, why not let him go?!"

Yuan Zongdi frowned and said: "Yaohuang's group is not easy to invite. Laiheng is too young, so you may not be able to invite them if you go. You have hope if you go! And this is a military order. Don't you want to resist the order?" Respect?!"

The muscles on Liu Tichun's face twitched for a while, and finally he clasped his fists and led more than a hundred soldiers to the mountain.

Yuan Zongdi looked around at the generals and said loudly: "Don't hold back any battalions, be sure to defeat the enemy with one blow!"

"Yes!"

With the reply of the generals of the Chuangjun, small snowflakes fell from the gloomy sky.

In this way, about [-] Chuangjun launched a fierce attack on the Daming New Army blocking this main road.

This part of the Ming Dynasty's new army is mainly based on the Baoning Garrison Town, plus two new battalions of the Garrison in Dazhou.

The chief general is Wang Fuchen, who acts as the chief military officer as a general.

This man was born as a low-level officer in the Daming Frontier Army. He followed Zhang Xianzhong in the rebellion in his early years and was once Zhang Xianzhong's governor of the Left Army. He can be regarded as one of the backbone generals of the Great Western Army in history.

Historically, in 1652, he defeated Wu Sangui in the Syrian state capital and took the opportunity to recover Chongqing.

At this time, the Daxi Army, which had returned to the Ming Dynasty, had a chance to recover the whole Sichuan, but because Liu Wenxiu and other generals did not listen to Wang Fuchen's advice and underestimated the enemy, Wu Sangui seized the loophole and turned defeat into victory.

Wang Fuchen led his troops to fight and died because of being besieged.

All in all, this is a rather stable veteran general in the Great Western Army.

This time, he learned the direction of the Chuang army's retreat through the intercom in the army, so he rushed to a place where this road was suitable for defense to deploy defenses earlier.

Although it was only a quarter of an hour or two earlier, it was enough for him to set up two good defensive positions.

Facing the charge of nearly [-] elite intruders, Wang Fuchen did not hide his clumsiness like Li Dingguo.

One is that his soldiers and horses are weak, and the other is that he doesn't like taking risks.

Therefore, seeing the intruders rushing to a distance of two hundred steps, he ordered the fifty or sixty tiger squatting guns concentrated behind the first line of defense to fire together.

That is to say, the new artillery has not been distributed to the garrison, otherwise Wang Fuchen would definitely use the new artillery.

Even so, it is enough to break into the army.

Fifty or sixty iron bullets were fired together, falling into the dense crowd of rushing troops charging in the mountain path, plowing out waves of blood immediately!
Wherever it passes, people, carts, mules and horses are all broken!

The screams are endless!
All of a sudden, the momentum of the Chuangjun's charge was stagnated.
