Forty-nine three, mantis catches cicadas, oriole is behind
On the left, He Renlong's troops were being frantically counterattacked by Zhang Xianzhong's headquarters.
The four powerful generals under Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi were clashing with desperate momentum. Zhang Xianzhong's army rushed down from a high point, and the four powerful generals all looked like they were desperate, which made He Renlong feel a little embarrassed.
Zuo Liangyu is a general who suppresses the thief, and he should shoulder the greatest responsibility and be responsible for dealing with the most powerful enemies. He is just a responsible person. He didn't expect to meet Zhang Xianzhong's main force. What does this mean? Could it be that Zuo Liangyu deliberately missed Zhang Xianzhong's main force to deal with me? He Renlong couldn't help but have this idea. Once this idea starts to emerge, it will not be suppressed to take root and sprout in his heart and grow wildly.
He couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. Looking at the soldiers of the headquarters who were defeated by Zhang Xianzhong's desperate counterattack on the mountain road, He Renlong's eyes couldn't help but narrowed... He knew that he should push his trusted servants up at this time. As long as the most elite servants join, he would definitely be able to withstand the young boys such as Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi.
However, the cost of doing so is also extremely high. The trusted servant is the ace in the hands of a general, and this ace is not something that can be recovered after being played. The servant soldiers are a consumable item. If one dies, one will be missing, and a lot of energy and money will be spent to re-train. Generally speaking, the servant soldiers are reluctant to be thrown into the battlefield until they are saved or to compete for success. If they are not careful in command and the entire servant soldiers are wiped out, the general can be said to have reached the end.
Take the Qi family army as an example. When Qi Jiguang died, the Qi family army was not over. Because the servants did not die, they continued to fight with Qi Jiguang's nephew Qi Jin, ensuring that the Qi family army's name was immortal. However, in the Battle of Dalinghe in Liaodong, all the core servants of the Qi family army were killed. Although the Qi family still had later, Qi Jin had three sons named Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu and Qi Yuanbi. Unfortunately, these three children were not unnamed... There was no such thing as the Qi family army in later generations. The reason was that there was no such group of servant soldiers. The Qi family army was no longer the Qi family army.
For example, Zhang Fushun, deputy general of Yansui, died of all the old group of servants because he was attacked by Zhu Baye in Baishui. Later, the scene could not be suppressed in the army. As a result, when food was exhausted in Xi'an, he was actually killed by his soldiers. If he had a servant soldier beside him at that time, he might have died in the chaos, and he might have taken advantage of the chaos to break out of the siege and escaped.
He Renlong didn't want to be a commander who had all his servants killed. That was something that only Ersha would do. Therefore, he did not throw his trusted servants forward to resist Zhang Xianzhong's army, but instead let his trusted troops retreat a little to avoid the momentum of Zhang Xianzhong's army fighting to the death.
Zhang Xianzhong rushed left and right, and actually drove He Renlong back straight to the foot of the mountain. This made Zhang Xianzhong feel a little confused. The officers and soldiers' left side were so pussy? He couldn't figure out why, so he simply didn't figure it out. After a while, he finally rushed to a forked path... Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed and quickly led four adopted sons into the forked path. There was a loyal and confidant soldier behind the hall. He didn't care about that, and rushed out to the mountain road for more than ten miles away. When he was far away from the Agate Mountain, he stopped to inspect his troops and found that there were only less than four thousand left in the tens of thousands of troops. All seven wives and concubines were lost, and even the military advisor Pan Duao was separated.
Looking back at the Agate Mountain where there were still shouts of killing, Zhang Xianzhong spat a mouthful of blood and sputum on the ground, cursing: "Damn it, I won't take revenge, I'm not a gentleman."
It was completely different from the embarrassment of Zhang Xianzhong's army, but the Li Zicheng army was fighting, Li Zicheng was in the middle, Liu Zongmin was on the left, and Li Guo was on the right. Under the oppression of the three routes, the officers and soldiers of Li Guoqi's army were already overwhelmed, hoping that Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong on the mountain could go down the mountain to help. However, Zuo Liangyu was busy having sex with Zhang Xianzhong's wife and concubine. He Renlong was busy keeping the safety of his own acre of three-point land, and no one was in the mood to care about Li Guoqi's life and death.
In the darkness, Liu Zongmin waved his swords and led a fierce bandit to stab into Li Guoqi's confidant. This time he took Qing's life. When Li Guoqi's army saw that the bandit army had actually reached the center's side, he was finally overwhelmed, and screamed and dispersed from all directions.
Liu Zongmin couldn't help but be overjoyed and laughed: "Li Guoqi, come here!"
While he was proud, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the back of his army: "Ah... there are ambushes here... whoever shoots arrows behind him..."
"Oh...Damn it, it's dark, you can't see the arrows from anywhere..."
"Rise the shield and shoot from the forest over there...ah..."
A slight chaos suddenly occurred in Liu Zongmin's buttocks. This chaos affected the front army chasing Li Guoqi's army. The entire army was stunned. Although Liu Zongmin was not a general, he had been fighting south and north for many years. Even if he had no command skills, he had already honed his skills. Of course, he ordered: "Give up pursuing officers and soldiers, turn to deal with the enemy behind him... The commander, report the situation behind quickly..."
Liu Zongmin ran back with his swords. Not long after, a "huh" sound came from the top of his head. It was obvious that an arrow was pressed against his scalp. He was shocked. The arrows came in the darkness, and they were really unpredictable, and there was no room for patrol. If the arrow just now was a little lower, it would be shot on his face.
He couldn't help but feel scared. He was even more curious about who the army behind him was. It was Zuo Liangyu? He Renlong? It shouldn't be. Zuo Liangyu was restrained by Zhang Xianzhong's army. He Renlong's army should be blocked by Zhu Bajun and was fighting fiercely. Where did this new army come from?
When they arrived at the back formation, Liu Zongmin finally saw many black shadows moving in the woods ahead, but these shadows did not rush out of the woods to fight with them. They just shot arrows there. They were far away and covered by the night. They couldn't see who they were. They only felt a whizzing sound on all sides. Many arrows flew, and the arrows were all based on luck... It was obvious that the purpose of this enemy was not to completely eat Liu Zongmin, but to harass him.
But...what did the enemy harass me? Liu Zongmin was so surprised: "Is it the time to fight for Li Guoqi's troops to escape? That must be the ambush of the officers and soldiers."
Liu Zongmin shouted: "Don't be afraid, there are only a small ambush from the officers and soldiers on the opposite side. Come with me, rush into the woods, and catch them all in one go."
Liu Zongmin's shouts condensed a small group of soldiers beside him. After a while, more soldiers of the trespassing army shrank to his side and formed a commando team of not small size. Seeing that there were at least a few thousand brothers around him, Liu Zongmin was sure, waved his swords, roared wildly, and rushed towards the woods.
Generally speaking, if someone rushes towards him so bravely, the archers will feel scared. The archers' hands will tremble, and their heads and speed will drop a lot. Moreover, the problems of officers and soldiers archers are even more prominent. Liu Zongmin believes that his rush will definitely scare the opponent to tremble and will soon be defeated, just like Li Guoqi's troops just now.
However, he was wrong. The archers in the woods were not afraid of Liu Zongmin's troops' charge at all, but continued to shoot arrows continuously. When Liu Zongmin rushed halfway, hundreds of brothers around him had already fallen. Although the arrow injury could only be considered a minor injury, when the charge, the comrades around him fell to the ground, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
After several hard work, Liu Zongmin finally stepped on a pile of rocks and grass and rushed into the woods. Once he entered this woods, he felt the opponent's murderous intent even more. Behind every tree in this woods, there seemed to be an enemy hidden, and an archer seemed to be hidden on each tree canopy. After the rebel army rushed into the woods, it immediately became a multi-directional sniper.
A soldier had just rushed into the woods. Before he could see clearly what was going on in the woods, a spear stretched out from the grass beside him and stabbed him to the ground. The soldier behind him became more cautious. When he rushed into the woods, he stared at the grass tightly. Unexpectedly, a cold arrow shot out from the big tree above his head, hitting his back nest... Although the arrow shot at the body was at most a blood hole and could not bear much injury, it was different when shooting in the back of the neck. This arrow immediately took his life.
"Be careful of this forest, there are ghosts in this forest!" someone shouted.
In fact, military strategists have a taboo saying "Don't go in whenever you meet the forest." If the enemy ambushed in the woods, you cannot attack in hastily. This has been written in military books since ancient times, but Liu Zongmin has never read any military books, and their identity is a bandit. I have long thought that they were the only ones who ambushed the officers and soldiers in the woods, and they have never encountered ambushed by officers and soldiers... Because officers and soldiers always chased behind their butts, they rarely had the opportunity to go around in front of them, so this is the first time that Liu Zongmin has been dealt with by officers and soldiers like this.
He suddenly felt a little dizzy and didn't know what to do when facing the dark forest in front of him.
At this time, the soldiers of the rebel army finally saw the dress of the enemy soldiers. They did not wear the big red mandarin duck battle jackets that the officers and soldiers often wore, but were all wearing purple clothes. Some were purple mandarin duck battle jackets, but more people were wearing purple linen clothes. There was only one army in the world who would dress like this, that was Zhu Jun of Baishui and Zhu Ba.
"Ah, they are wearing purple clothes!"
"Oh my God...is it... it's Zhu Ba's army?"
The soldiers of the rebel army couldn't help but exclaim: "Why did Zhu Ba's army attack us?"
An innocent soldier actually put down his weapon and shouted loudly: "Don't fight, we are the crusade army under the command of the King of Chuang. Have you made a mistake? We are not officers and soldiers...ah..." The person who greeted this man was an arrow, which happened to be shot in the chest of the caller and shot him to death on the ground.
Even if Liu Zongmin was stupid, he knew what was going on at this time. He couldn't help but be furious: "Okay, it turns out that this bastard Zhu Ba is planning to plot against us here... Fuck you, I'm fighting with you..."
Liu Zongmin felt the evil spirits coming to his brilliance, and he was rushing towards the back of the tree next to him, with a soldier from Zhu Jun huddled there. He was originally erecting a spear and was about to sneak attack the next rebel soldier coming from behind the tree. Liu Zongmin suddenly appeared in his sight. Without thinking, he stabbed Liu Zongmin at one shot.
The shot was fast, accurate, and ruthless! If there were ordinary soldiers, they would never escape, but how could Liu Zongmin be an ordinary person? He had a knife in his left hand and a knife in his right hand slashed forward, and only a ding sound was heard. The spear that attacked him was held open by the knife in his left hand, and the knife in his right hand slashed into the neck of the Zhu Jun soldier. The man fell to the ground without even humming.
Liu Zongmin roared angrily: "Baishui Zhu Ba, if you have the courage, come out and fight me! Don't let your shrimp soldiers come out and die."
Just after his roar, a figure behind the tree in front of him swayed, and an iron tower-like man jumped out and stood in front of Liu Zongmin. This man was tall and strong, and was holding an extremely heavy iron rod in his hand. He looked like he was not a good person to mess with.
Liu Zongmin's eyes froze. He laughed and said, "Baishui King Er?"
The person who came was the White Water King Er. He knew that Liu Zongmin in front of him was a strong enemy, so he did not dare to hold him up at all. He raised the iron stick in his hand and made a gesture of sticking in the Shaanxi Red Fist. He shouted: "Liu Zongmin. Come and fight!"
Seeing that one of the main masters came out, Liu Zongmin was not in a hurry to start a fight. He said angrily: "You Zhu Jun is too despicable and too sinister. He actually betrayed the military. After this matter is exposed, let's see who else in the world will sell your accounts."
If it were the former righteous and innocent and romantic Wang Er, he might have blushed, but after more than ten years of polishing, Wang Er's character has become much more stable than that of the past. He calmly said: "Brother Zhu said that, it's okay! Can you promote us stab you in the back, can't we promote you stab Zhang Xianzhong in the back? The difference is that you stand behind Zhang Xianzhong, and we stand behind you..." He paused and said: "Brother Zhu also said that when his fist is big to a certain extent, the reputation of the world is no longer important. And... Compared with the reputation of the world is nothing."
Liu Zongmin was furious and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Damn it, I miscalculated. Since we can plot against Zhang Xianzhong, we should be wary of Zhu Ba's plot against us. Why didn't we expect this... Damn, Wang Er appears here, where is Zhu Ba? Could it be to fight Brother Chuangwang? Fuck... I want to deal with the guy in front of me as soon as possible and help Chuangwang quickly." In fact, we can't blame them for not expecting that people often have the least guard against their own safety when plotting against others. This is like when playing table tennis, you use all your strength to smash, and often after you knock out, you will be careless about the next move of the enemy to fight back, because you think the enemy will be detained by this, so you are completely unprepared to deal with the next move. The defensive counterattack in football tactics is actually based on a similar psychology.
Liu Zongmin was anxious to go back to help Li Zicheng. He spread his sword in his hand and rushed towards Wang Er. Wang Er was naturally not polite. He waved the iron stick and fought with Liu Zongmin.
At the same time, the sound of soldiers and soldiers chopping out from all over the woods, shaking the sky.
Li Zicheng's nephew, "a tiger", Li Guo led his army to attack Li Guoqi's right side. Li Guo's martial arts were much worse than Liu Zongmin, but he was much stronger in commanding the army. Under his command, the rebel army followed several mountain roads and forced Li Guoqi's right wing in a seemingly messy but actually organized way, which brought great pressure to Li Guoqi's troops.
After fighting for a long time, the central army of Li Guoqi's troops suddenly became an uproar. It turned out that Liu Zongmin rushed into Li Guoqi's central army... Then Li Guoqi's troops began to retreat, but Li Guo did not chase after him as excitedly as Liu Zongmin. Instead, he first re-established his team, intending to count the losses on his side, reorganize the queue, and then continue pursuing.
Just as he had just gathered the team again, a drum suddenly sounded in the woods behind him, and an army rushed out. The soldiers of the army were all wearing purple clothes, and they could tell at a glance that it was Baishui and Zhu Ba's army. The generals of the leader, with a smile on their faces and a thief, were Xu Renjie, the general of the Zhu army.
Xu Renjie shouted at Li Guo with a little depressed feeling: "Hate, I've been waiting for an opportunity there for a long time. Seeing that Li Guoqi was defeated, you rushed forward and chased him. Why do you need to reorganize the team? I can't even find a good opportunity to attack."
Li Guo was just wondering why Zhu Jun appeared here. When he heard Xu Renjie's words, his face changed instantly. He did not react as slowly as Liu Zongmin, but exclaimed in an instant: "Okay, you... you... the mantis stalks the cicada... yellow..." Speaking of this, he thought that if he said this sentence, he would describe himself as a mantis. It was not auspicious, so he quickly stopped, but anyone could hear the meaning of the words.
Xu Renjie waved his hand and said helplessly: "Forget it, if you say too much, it's all nonsense!" He issued an order to Zhu Jun and said: "Beat!"
With a "coaxing" roar, thousands of Zhu soldiers rushed up.
It's strange that the rebel soldiers under Li Guo's command looked at each other with wide eyes, but found that these Zhu soldiers rushed over with empty hands, and there were no weapons on their hands... What's the point?
They were stunned just now, and before they could react, they saw that the Zhu army soldiers had arrived in front of them and made a false stab. Although there were no weapons on their hands, the riot soldiers in the front row screamed and fell down.
