Chapter 211 Winning Pursuit

It was not until this time that Xiao Tianjian breathed a long sigh of relief. After putting away his monocular, he shouted, "Liu Bao!"

Liu Bao, who was covered in blood, rushed over from the side of the wall and shouted, "The last one!"

Xiao Tianjian said to Liu Bao, "Liu Bao, do you still have the strength to kill with me?"

At this time, Liu Bao didn't care about anything. He didn't care about the few war wounds on his body. He straightened his chest and shouted, "The last general is willing to die for the general!"

"Good! Then leave this to the brothers of the barracks to take care of, and the four battalions follow me down the mountain!"

Hundreds of soldiers who survived from the fourth battalion cheered in unison, and soon gathered under the village gate. Xiao Tianjian turned over his horse, picked up his big gun, slammed the horse's abdomen with both feet, and took the lead in killing out of the mountain gate. Hundreds of Xingtian soldiers followed him like a torrent. After that, they went down Lianhua Mountain together.

Shortly after Xiao Tianjian led his troops to kill Lianhuazhai, Wang Chengping's cavalry, who was hiding in the mountains, also killed his hiding place and went to the flank of Zuo Guangxian's headquarters. Although they only had less than 300 people, they were the strongest mobile force in the whole battlefield. The impact on the battlefield must not be ignored. This made the officers and soldiers, who were already exhausted and panicked even more.

As soon as Wang Chengping's troops were killed, he stabbed the weak ribs of Zuo Guangxian's officers and soldiers, which had been completely chaotic. He tore a big cut open the flank of Zuo Guangxian's army like boiling soup and snow. In this way, even if Zuo Guangxian had the ability to pass the sky, he could never recover the decline. He could only watch his army collapse and flee under the sharp offensive of the Xing Tianjun.

This battle lasted until it was completely dark, and it basically ended. With a small number of troops, the Xing Tianjun killed a wolf with nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses, and fled all over the mountains. Among the chaotic army, Zuo Guang first escaped from the foot of Lianhua Mountain with a horse and only a small number of Jiading family generals. The big camp went straight to Qinshui County without looking back. The big camp he set at the foot of Lianhua Mountain was also completely controlled by Xing Tianjun.

After the evening, Xiao Tianjian ordered the collection of troops and handed over the matter of suppressing the remaining officers and soldiers to the hunter to do it. He kept summoning the soldiers together for a moment, leaving the barracks and the youth battalion to guard the lotus village and cleaning up the battlefield. He personally led the remaining two battalions and the fourth battalions, and mixed them together overnight. Then he went to Shuangfengzhai in the east.

Just when Zuo Guangxian was defeated in Lianhuazhai, Shuangfengzhai also launched a life-and-death struggle. Xu Dingguo and Hu Dawei did not dare to neglect after receiving Wu Yu's reprimand. On that day, Zuo Guangxian made the same determination to lead an officer and army, and also launched a fiercest attack on Shuangfengzhai after coming here. Fierce attack.

A wave of officers and soldiers were constantly filled outside the gate of Shuangfengzhai. The two of them personally went to the battle to supervise the battle, retreated and killed without mercy, forcing the officers and soldiers to risk their lives to go forward and attack Shuangfengzhai one after another.

And this time they also took out their old capital, and the elite soldiers at hand will basically fill in the battlefield, only asking that this battle can tear open Shuangfengzhai and completely eliminate this group of stubborn enemies hiding in the village.

At first, the two battalions of the township barracks under the command of Zhao Erlu and Jiang Cheng, who were responsible for guarding the two sides of the village gate, could still support it. However, when the battle reached noon, the attack of the officers and army was too fierce. After all, the township soldiers were township soldiers, and their training level was far less than that of the regular army of the Xingtian Army. Seeing that some places were facing the tide under the fierce attack of the officers and army. A large number of officers and soldiers surged up like water, and the local soldiers of the imperial guard began to be a little overwhelmed, and the situation seemed to be a little precarious.

So Li Shuanzhu, who was in command in the village, led three battalions of soldiers and reinforced them to the two walls. Almost all those who could fight climbed up the wall and launched a life-and-death battle with the officers and soldiers in Shuangfengzhai. This battle was almost killed from dawn to dark. Xu Dingguo also sent two strange soldiers, which seemed difficult to climb from two places. The climbing site launched two side attacks on Shuangfengzhai. If it had not been found in time by the middle-value sentry, Shuangfengzhai would have been attacked by Xu Dingguo.

Fortunately, many craftsmen in the village were also young and strong people. In the afternoon, some craftsmen also picked up the guys and were led by Zhang Chao to reinforce some dangerous places. They guarded there, which made Xu Dingguo's surprise attack fail in the end and failed to break through Shuangfengzhai.

Xu Dingguo's offensive launched several times in a row was completely repelled by Li Shuanzhu and others. In the face of such a fortress wall, it is almost difficult to walk. Except for a large number of casualties, it can be said that no results have been achieved at all.

The whole Shuangfeng Village has almost become a human slaughterhouse. Countless corpses are piled up under the wall. Almost every depression of the wall is filled with the corpses of the officers and soldiers. The human blood almost converges into a stream along the slope, and the air is filled with an extremely strong smell of blood, which is disgusting.

The wall of Shuangfengzhai is like a monster that devours life, constantly devouring the lives of the officers and soldiers. No matter how many troops the officers and soldiers invest, they can never grab the wall. As for hitting the wall, there is no need to think about it. The side open wall door can't let them carry the logs to hit it at all. Every attack Except for leaving a large number of corpses, the officers and soldiers could hardly achieve any results.

In this way, Xu Dingguo was also completely discouraged. He couldn't help standing outside Shuangfengzhai and sighed. Seeing that the sky was dark, he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

But before Xu Dingguo returned to the camp, a worse news came from the East Gate. In the afternoon battle that day, Hu Dawei was so angry that he finally couldn't stand to hang up in battle. As a result, at the east gate of Shuangfengzhai, he was directly hit by Xing Tianjun's bird and was seriously injured and carried down. A hard-won battle was finally organized, and it came to an end.

After a day of fierce battle, the officers and soldiers of Xu Ding's Ministry suffered heavy casualties. In one day, he and Hu Dawei lost more than 3,000 soldiers. Such a fiasco was a heavy blow to the morale of the officers and soldiers. When the officers and soldiers returned to the camp, their morale could be said to be extremely low, and a team of officers and soldiers were weak. The bodies or the wounded carrying their robes slowly returned to their camp.

The weather in February is still very cold. After this period of fierce fighting, it can be said that the officers and soldiers can't eat well and sleep well. At night, they hide in thin tents, and they are shivering with cold. Like the generals of the Xing Tianjun, except for the left-behind sentry at night. In addition, the rest of the people can hide beautifully in the warm barracks and warm up. After the war in the past month, these officers and soldiers under Xu Dingguo's command have suffered countless frostbite injuries. Some officers and soldiers have even frozen their hands and feet. It is estimated that even if they can go back alive, they will have a lifelong disability.

Xu Dingguo never expected that with so many troops, they actually touched their heads in front of a small Shuangfengzhai. Up to now, he no longer dared to despise this criminal army. After turning back to the camp, he gathered his generals to discuss what to do next.

All the generals have already had a retreat at this time. If they continue to fight like this, they will estimate that they can't afford such casualties alone. Some soldiers in the officers and soldiers have been dissatisfied with this and are clamoring to go back. They will not suffer from this kind of bird's sin here. If they force the officers and soldiers again. If we continue to fight, it may lead to mutiny.

Xu Dingguo is uncertain about this. It's not that he doesn't have the idea of retreating, but it is clear that their current strength is far more than that of the thief's army. If they recruit troops so hastily, not to mention that Wu Xi can't forgive him, I'm afraid the court will not let him go so easily, but don't withdraw. The Shuangfengzhai in front of him seems to be steel. It's like cast iron. No matter how fiercely he attacks, he can't shake it. The morale of the army has now fallen to the bottom. If he continues to attack, there is no chance of winning. What's more, this time they came to Yangcheng, and the local people fled one after another, bringing them a hard wall and clear field, so that they basically can't get it locally. What supplies do you get?

The officers and soldiers have always been maintained by not only the grain supported by the government. Most of the time, they are more fiercer than the exiles. Along the way, they basically rely on robbing the people to enrich their own pockets, but now they are dragged here, and there are empty villages everywhere, and there is no robbery. The officers and soldiers who can't get the benefits of the place have already complained, and they don't want to fight for a long time if they have to be frozen here.

Therefore, Xu Dingguo couldn't make up his mind for a while and discussed it. In the end, they didn't discuss anything, so Xu Dingguo had to let his men disperse and decided to plan to attack the mountain after a whole day off.

Unfortunately, Xiao Tianjian did not give Xu Dingguo a chance to rest this time. After Lianhua Mountain killed Zuo Guangxian's troops in the next battle, he immediately led his troops to help Shuangfengzhai overnight. After an urgent march in the middle of the night, he led his army to the vicinity of Shuangfengzhai in the early morning.

At this time, the news of the collapse of Zuo Guangxian's soldiers had been brought to Xu Dingguo's battalion. Xu Dingguo was woken up by his men in the middle of the night. After listening to the news of Zuo Guangxian's defeat by the Xing Tianjun, he immediately panicked. He did not expect that such a general as Zuo Guangxian would besiege a general under his command with nearly 10,000 soldiers. The small Lianhua Village, not only did not have Lianhua Village that could defeat the thief's army, but was broken by the thief's army and killed a big defeat.

He was already an uneasy officer and army. After learning the news, he suddenly became more panicked. Xu Dingguo couldn't figure out why Zuo Guangxian was defeated so badly, and the defeated soldiers of Zuo Guangxian, who fled back to his camp in Shuangfengzhai, were panicked about the enemy. Moreover, they have exaggerated the strength of the enemy army and the fierceness of the thief, so that Xu Dingguo can't figure out how many troops the thief army has.
