Chapter 623

Shen Yikui is also a good martial arts among the anti-army army, no less than the King of Rebellion Gao Yingxiang, but he did not expect that he was defeated by this general. Seeing that his chest was dark red and wide, it was obvious that he could not be saved. This time, it greatly damaged the morale of the anti-army army, causing the official army to take another big step forward, and the anti-army army was almost on the verge of collapse.

Gao Yingxiang and others also changed their expressions. The general was able to suddenly take out such a weapon in the battle, which shows that this person is not simple. But now they are no longer sure of winning, and they dare not kill him for the sake of loyalty to avenge Shen Yikui, but just led people to stand firmly in front of him. Although they knew that the situation was hopeless, they refused to accept their fate.

With such a brave general fighting in front, Wu Sangui didn't have to rush forward. He recognized this general, Cao Wenzhao, one of the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry in the Liaodong Army. In fact, this person has made many great achievements, but he is straightforward and has no backing or backing, so he still has no chance to make a comeback. However, his martial arts and combat flexibility are still very powerful, and he is a powerful general in the Liaodong Army.

"Drink!" After Cao Wenzhao shot down Shen Yikui, he did not stop much and continued to slap the horse and kill the enemy. He saw his sword passing by the crowd like a horse, and all the people were injured, and there was no one-to-one enemy. And those anti-army generals who could fight were afraid of his musket and dared not step forward, and the situation was already under his control.

Cao Wenzhao, who was so angry, kept shouting loudly, driving his horse to kill him, and the number of people killed and injured him was already fifty or sixty. Now even ordinary anti-soldiers dared not fight with him. When they saw him coming, everyone ran away and did not have a head-on conflict with him.

Seeing all this, Wu Sangui was even more happy. With such a powerful general, why worry about the rebels being defeated? However, Wu Sangui was not proud of it. He could see that although the anti-army army was passive because it was caught off guard, he could still defend for a while. This was also because most of the troops in his hands were surrendered soldiers from Shanxi, otherwise the enemy would have been defeated long ago. However, the current situation is not bad. With Cao Wenzhao leading the army to fight, the morale of the anti-army army was hit continuously. After a while, the anti-army army would be completely in chaos.

Just as Wu Sangui was thinking about whether to throw the entire army into battle and completely defeat the enemy in one battle, a burst of shouts of killing suddenly came from the east. Accompanied by the shouts of killing were countless enemies holding various weapons in their hands. When they saw the current situation between the two sides, they were stunned at first, but then they rushed up without hesitation.

"This is..." After being stunned for a moment, Wu Sangui suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, which was considered to have missed these enemies. In order to make Wu Sangui fall into a trap, many anti-army troops surrendered without resisting much, so that their troops could be completely preserved. In order to paralyze the other party and make them believe that they were completely unprepared, Wu Sangui did not make things difficult for these people, but he did not expect that at this critical moment, these anti-army troops would come from behind.

In fact, these people did not come to rescue each other because they knew about Gao Yingxiang and the others' crisis. On the contrary, they thought that now was the time for the official army to be defeated. If they knew that this was the case, it would be good that half of these people could come and help. They came here to take advantage of the situation. Since the official army fell into their own trap, of course they would not be so stupid that they just intercepted the other party's retreat. Everyone knows that only a real decisive battle can bring enough benefits.

So after learning that Gao Yingxiang and others were raiding the official army here tonight, the anti-army surrendered in front rushed over and arrived by chance when the anti-army was about to hold on. But they did not expect that the situation would change by 180 degrees. Instead, their own people were plotted by the official army and were on the verge of collapse. However, they could no longer allow them to retreat, so these people had to bite the bullet and kill them.

The addition of this new force immediately changed the situation on the battlefield. Although their combat power was not very high, the morale of the official army was hit by the sudden arrival. You should know that the tens of thousands of official troops are mainly surrendered troops from Shanxi. After all, they are just peasants and bandits who have not fought several times. If they were successful, these people could fight with a single aura and exert twelve points of combat power, but when encountering a sudden change, their weaknesses were exposed and the morale of the army was greatly affected.

Even with thousands of Liaodong troops under the command, these people hesitated. It turned out that the attack on the anti-army was not so sharp. The anti-army on the other side clearly felt this. The pressure was reduced sharply and immediately burst out with the most powerful counterattack. In order to save their lives and to be able to rush out, they began to fight desperately. With the harassment and attacks of the enemies who kept killing behind them, the official army had already experienced chaos.

Wu Sangui wanted to send people to stop the attack of the enemy behind him, but there were not many people left around him. In order to annihilate this anti-army with twice his strength, he could not have any reservations. Except for the more than a thousand people around him, everyone else was sent up. Now that the enemy is attacking from behind, how many people can resist?

"Report, General, our former army can no longer go further, but was killed by the enemy at the cost of hundreds of people!"

"Report! General, the enemy attacked from the rear with many troops, General Shi could hardly resist it!"

The two anti-army armies in the front and back showed strong tacit understanding and combat power, which forced the official army to resist. After listening to the successive reports from their subordinates, Wu Sangui's face darkened. His original idea of ​​using the tricks and destroying the enemy was shattered. Although he was very unwilling to accept such a result, Wu Sangui quickly issued his order: "The army retreats westward and blocks the enemy's pursuit with the Liaodong Army's rear!" Since it is impossible to do anything, he should give up decisively. This is the ability that Wu Sangui mastered when he followed those generals and uncles to learn.

The retreat of the government army greatly enhanced the morale of the anti-army. After so many people died, even Shen Yikui died on the spot. How could these anti-army soldiers swallow this? Now that the situation is reversed, they naturally would not just let the government army retreat. Under the leadership of Gao, Wang and others, the anti-army began to launch a large-scale counterattack.

The anti-army alliance on both sides was in one place, and their combat power was greatly improved. They fought hard to kill more officials. At this time, more than 2,000 Liaodong troops had already been organized. Although they were facing ten times the enemy, all of them had a strong face and no feeling of tension at all.

Five hundred steps...400 steps...300 steps... Just when these anti-army were about 300 steps away from them, the Liaodong cavalry quickly raised the weapons in their hands. They were hard bows that had already been hit by wolf-tooth arrows and could shoot with their hands. Without the unified order of the general, the first arrow was shot at almost the same time.

"Woo--!" Amid the whistling sound that made people's hair stand up, more than two thousand sharp arrows hit the anti-army that were rushing forward. Only very few of them could wear armor, but more were covered with leather armor. They could not resist the sharp arrow that could penetrate ordinary mail. In no case, hundreds of people who led the lead fell under the arrows, many of them even hit several arrows in a row, and some of them passed by, which made people feel a bone-chilling chill.

This powerful round of shooting that made the anti-army chasing slow down. Before they could come back to their senses, the second rain of arrows from the official army came again. At this time, the anti-army used the weapons in their hands to parry, but this was useless. The sharp arrows shot with the strong bow of three stones were not something that ordinary people could parry. Many people fell to the ground after being caught. This severely hit the anti-army's determination to pursue, and they began to retreat, and even Gao Yingxiang had no choice but to deal with them.

The Liaodong Army over there was still standing, pointing the bow and arrow in its hand steadily at the enemy in front of them. This time, they did not release the arrow immediately, they just waited quietly. And behind them, the officials who had just become panicked, finally stabilized their positions and began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Until the robes behind him retreated far enough, the Liaodong troops urged the horses to retreat slowly, but their gazes like falcons never left the anti-army. They told the enemy with their actions that once they dared to pursue, they would still give a head-on blow!

The anti-army army, who was pissed off for the angrily, could only watch the enemy who had a far less powerful force than their own, but did not dare to move. The Liaodong Army, which had only 3,000 people, gave them a great threat. This was the first time that the anti-army army truly felt the terror of the elite soldiers in Liaodong.

After retreating to the safety place, the two groups of people joined together again, Wu Sangui's heart calmed down a little. He was not afraid that he would not be able to kill the enemy this time, but that these soldiers who had been led by him for a few days would eventually collapse. Fortunately, they survived this time, with today's experience, and faced the anti-army head-on next time. These unscrupulous troops would be much stronger than those anti-army.

After staying in the camp, not long after he had just rested, Wu Sangui received a report from his subordinates, saying that his father condemned the people and sent him an urgent letter. Wu Sangui did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly welcomed the people in, and then picked up the letter and read it. After reading Wu Xiang's letter, Wu Sangui relaxed: "Please report to my father and the marquis, and say that I have fought with the enemy..."

Although Wu Sangui had the upper hand overall in this battle, the army also suffered a lot of casualties. He did not continue to move forward, but instead stationed near Baishui City, waiting for Tang Feng to lead the army to arrive. With this experience, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy anymore. He could not guarantee that he could predict the enemy's initiative every time. Only by taking steady steps can he truly win.

In just two days, Tang Feng also led his army to arrive. In order to avoid Wu Sangui being too anxious and fell into the trap of the enemy, he did not stop along the way. Now that he saw that the vanguard army had not suffered much loss, he was relieved. At the same time, after listening to Wu Sangui's narration, he praised repeatedly: "Okay, General Wu is worthy of being the back of the general, and he has indeed had a good way of using troops. Although he failed to wipe out the enemy, this battle also gave them a great warning, which would inevitably make the rebels dare not offend me easily anymore. Maybe the enemy will be even more afraid and give us an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

"The Marquis is so praiseful. In fact, it is all the soldiers who use their lives to win. In addition, the last general wants to recommend a general, because of his previous rush, we can defeat the anti-army so easily."

"Oh. But who is it that you can actually be so respected?" Tang Feng also became interested and asked after hearing this.

Wu Sangui hurriedly ordered someone to call Cao Wenzhao to see Tang Feng. After carefully examining the person, Tang Feng said: "It turns out that he is a hero. If you can show such a prominent performance in quelling the rebellion, why isn't you famous in Liaodong?"

Cao Wenzhao was tall and strong, but he was not a rude person. After hearing the Marquis’ inquiry, he said in a humble manner: “When the Marquis said, it was just because there were many famous generals in Liaodong, and the villains naturally could not be revealed. But here, because there were only three thousand Liaodong soldiers in the army, I was particularly conspicuous.”

"Haha, well said!" Tang Feng was very satisfied with the words that he did not complain about You: "Since you have made great contributions, I will not bury you. I will grant you the position of deputy general and follow Wu Sangui to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions. After the rebellion is quelled, I will ask the court for you again!"

"I will thank you for your promotion!" Cao Wenzhao looked at Tang Feng and Wu Sangui with gratitude, knowing that his future prospects were settled.

A few days later, the official army began to move forward further, but beyond their expectations, the anti-army suddenly stopped stopping. The cities that had been occupied by the anti-army were no longer guarded. Except for some good people, there was no trace of a thief, which made the soldiers a little confused. Although Wu Sangui won a certain victory in the previous war, it would not completely lose the courage to fight again. Is this the enemy's means of retreating as advance?

Just when the government army was puzzled and slowly moved forward and did not dare to be careless, all the anti-army troops gathered together in Xi'an City, and they had to unite to fight the government army. After the failure of the previous period, the anti-army army no longer had the confidence of the past. They knew that the tens of thousands of troops were far behind the Liaodong government army. If they fought each other, they would probably be even more difficult to defeat, so they could only make a difference when they were connected.

Because these men were originally among the cities in Shaanxi, in order not to be defeated by the government troops, they had to mobilize all their men to Xi'an. Now there is only one problem left in front of them, that is, the army of nearly 100,000 should choose a unified leader, and everyone hopes to become the position of this big leader.

In fact, most people know that with their reputation and strength, it is impossible to take the top spot. All they hope is that those who have some friendship with them can take the position of leader, and they can get some benefits at that time. However, these people obviously ignore one thing. Now is not the dividend after victory, but the time to take responsibility. Once they take that position, they will have to worry about everyone's life and death.

Li Yan understood this very clearly, so when Wang Jiayin found him and asked how to seize the position of leader, he just shook his head: "General, in the opinion of the following, it is better not to be this leader."

"Why is this? Do you think we don't have this strength?" Wang Jiayin asked unhappily: "Although we may not be able to compete with Gao Yingxiang in terms of military strength, we will not be much weaker than him. As long as we can win more people to stand on our side, we are likely to become leaders."

"General, have you forgotten the lessons you learned before? The reason why we were defeated by the government army the last time was because it was too ostentatious, which made the government army's attention rest on us and Gao Yingxiang. This time we must not repeat the same mistakes."

"At one moment, another moment, now we have united dozens of people, with nearly 100,000 people. Are we still afraid of the government army?"

"Didn't we have tens of thousands of troops last time? We were defeated by the government army? Although we are strong now, are these people really all focused? I'm afraid that this leader is not that easy to do." Li Yan persuaded painstakingly.

Wang Jiayin still respects his think tank very much. He hesitated after hearing what he said. But then he said, "But if I don't fight, this position will fall into Gao Yingxiang's hands, but this is not what I want to see. Although the festival between him and me has been revealed, the knot is still there..."

"Don't worry, General. In the face of so many people, Gao Yingxiang always has to show off and will never make things difficult for us. He is worried about us, which is even more good for the general. Then he will not let our troops fight the official army head-on. Leaving these strengths, we will get more benefits after defeating the official army."

"Well, what you said is reasonable, then do what you said. This time I will be cheaper by the Gao surname." Wang Jiayin finally said. However, he did not notice. After seeing him nodding, a meaningful smile flashed in Li Yan's eyes.

Soon, the leader of the anti-army was settled. Without the equal-to-eight Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang naturally became the absolute leader of these anti-army. However, before he could be happy about this, a piece of news came. He had beaten him to the point of desperate situation before, and in the end, only the opponent Tang Feng, who surrendered to the court, finally led his troops to kill again. This time the men and horses he brought were even stronger than the previous military officers.
