Chapter 106 Fall back across the river

Zu Dale also saw the situation of this Xing Tianjun. During this period, every time Zu Kuan talked to him about Xing Tianjun, how powerful and how disciplined the Xing Tianjun was. However, at first sight today, although it is better than the ordinary thief army, it is by no means as majestic as Zu Kuan said, such as Compared with other thieves, it can indeed be called an elite soldier, but compared with the Guanning army under his command, it is incomparable!

So he immediately took a look at the thief army. How did Zu Kuan do it? Unexpectedly, he would be defeated by such an opponent. He really lost their Guan Ningjun.

After listening to Zu Kuan's request for war, Zu Dale shook his head and said, "Today is our first battle. Don't be careless. It's better to suppress the whole army and defeat it in the first battle!" The stone bridge has been destroyed by the thieves. If we want to get to Yichuan as soon as possible, we must seize the pontoon bridge behind them! It's safer to go together! Come on! Drums and cannons! The whole army is on top!"

After listening to this, Zu Kuan only nodded his head to take the order and went down to rectify the soldiers and horses. Not long after the sound of the drums in the army, the three thousand Guan Ning army howled in unison and rushed to the Xing Tianjun together.

Thousands of horses started at the same time, and the momentum was not as could be imagined by ordinary people. Before Niu Jinxing first came to battle, he encountered such a big battle, and he suddenly pulled the rein and became a little nervous.

What's more, Xing Tianjun's strength is not as strong as that of the other party, and it is even more in order to show weakness. Now the army array seems a little chaotic. Although Niu Jinxing knows that this is a gesture for the officers and soldiers, he still feels it in his heart.

But when he turned his head and saw Xiao Tianjian playing with a whip in his hand, as if he didn't pay attention to this situation at all, Niu Jinxing felt a little relieved.

"Although Guan Ningjun came from Yuan Chonghuan, it can still be called the most elite soldier and horse of Daming at the beginning, but now it is no longer the original! It is undeniable that they are indeed stronger than ordinary officers and soldiers, but it is also limited to their cavalry! What a pity! A good Ming Dynasty's strongest soldiers and horses were destroyed in the hands of the imperial court and ministers! It's ridiculous!

Pass the order, and immediately retreat with a little resistance, and I will withdraw to the north bank!" Xiao Tianjian pinched the horse whip and said to the Guan Ning army who began to start rushing towards them, while ordering to retreat.

A small number of firearms immediately began to fire at the oncoming Guanning army in the battle, but this time the fire was fired more than a hundred steps away from them by the Guanning army. Therefore, although the sparse bullets also injured some of the Guanning army's horses, it did not stop the charge of the Guanning army. The momentum.

So the formation of the Xingtian army suddenly began to be chaotic. He didn't even want the camp, so he began to flee to the Baitian River. Only a small number of Xingtian army members were left, blocking behind the back hall, and the rest of the soldiers and horses shrived to the pontoon bridge on the Baifall River.

Although Xiao Tianjian wanted to be the back of the palace in person, it was enough for him to say this. How could his subordinates Li Shuanzhu and Tietou put him in danger? Tietou volunteered to lead two companies of guards to stay behind the back hall, covering Xiao Tianjian and Niu Jinxing to the north bank of the Bai River first.

The officers and soldiers charged. Before they began to contact, Xing Tianjun began to escape, which made Zu Da Le couldn't help sneering. While ordering the two wings to begin to envelop, he urged the soldiers in front of him to cross the enemy's array.

However, when Guan Ningjun was about to rush to catch up with the end of the Xingtian Army, the members of the 500 Xingtian Army suddenly began to exert their strength. Rows of birds hit the Guanning Army in front of them. One was caught off guard, so he hit some officers and soldiers who rushed to the front.

The sudden change made the offensive formation of Guanning's army suddenly frustrated. Zu Dale was also shocked by this piece of explosive bird shot. He hurriedly suppressed his feet and ordered not to panic, but it was such a drag that opened the distance between the two armies.

Originally, the place where Xing Tianjun chose to line up was very close to the bank of the Baideng River, and the formation was in chaos. However, if you look carefully, you can find that each retreating troops has a certain order. There is no chaos, but a team retreat to the pontoon bridge, which is not intertwined with each other.

However, from a distance, Xing Tianjun's formation is relatively chaotic. If you don't observe it carefully, it's really not easy to see the tricks.

The two-winged Guan Ning army quickly surpassed the Xing Tianjun and tried to envelop the two wings of the Xing Tianjun and intercepted the Xing Tianjun to retreat to Hebei, but the two-winged Xing Tianjun also fought back quite fiercely. At one time, although the Guan Ning Army was in the absolute advantage, it could not really make a breakthrough on all three sides.

Seeing that the formation of Xing Tianjun was chaotic, but he was stunned that he could not disperse them all at once, which made Zu Da Le a little surprised. Even Zu Kuan led his troops to rush once, and was shot back by hundreds of Xing Tian's military department behind the palace, and dozens of his men were damaged, which made Zu Da Le Zu Kuan a little unacceptable.

So they immediately adjusted the team array and pressed it up again. This time, the situation was a little better, and finally they were forced to the end of the Xingtian Army. Suddenly, a group of soldiers of the Xingtian Army were entangled with the Guanning Army.

These guards behind the palace are all soldiers who dare to fight for Xiao Tianjian selected from the Xing Tian Army. Although they are at an absolute disadvantage, they are still entangled with the Guanning Army. People are constantly hit or knocked to the ground by the war horses of the Guanning Army. However, these guards still fight to the death and protect the tail of the array, so that more The brother stepped on the pontoon bridge.

After fighting so fiercely for more than a quarter of an hour, the guards finally couldn't stand it and began to retreat. However, at this time, the pontoon bridge was already full of people, so that Tietou could only lead the guards to defend the south of the bridge. Under the continuous repeated impact of the Guanning army, until most of the soldiers and horses on the pontoon bridge had crossed the river, the iron head gave an order. He rushed into the river with his followers and fled to the north bank of the river.

The south side of the pontoon bridge was immediately occupied by Guan Ning's army, and immediately a team of Guan Ning's army began to step on the pontoon bridge and chased towards the north bank of the river.

More Guanning troops stood on the bank of the river, constantly releasing bullets into the river. Many retreating guards were shot and fell into the water of the Baidan River, and the blood stained a large area of the river.

Fortunately, the Bai Jiang River is just a direct stream of the Yi River. The water here is not very deep and will not flood people's chests, so that the guards behind the palace were not drowned in the river by a large number of people. However, even so, the two guards led by the iron head in such a palace, they also suffered heavy losses. Even if more than 200 people were damaged, Almost half of the number has been reached, and the heartbroken iron head cursed, but he also knew that Xiao Tianjian did so in order to achieve a greater victory, so he had to pay the price. If his guard had not left the palace, this fraudulent retreat was very likely to evolve into a real collapse under the pursuit of the Guanning army. In that case, even if you win after the event, it can only be said to be a tragic victory!

The iron head shouted loudly in the river, while covering the retreat of the others, while greeting his men to save the wounded. Finally, he crossed the river with the remaining guards and retreated to the north bank. At this time, the Ning army began to go down into the river and rode a horse. The river chased them.

After Xiao Tianjian led his troops to withdraw from the Bai Jiang River, he turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind the palace who fell in the river. His heart was also painful. However, in order not to make Zu Dale on the other side see that this was a fraudulent defeat, he still gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers and horses who had crossed the river, and immediately began to run to several places on the north bank of the river. This scene of defeat suddenly became much more chaotic. Even if there was a lot of firewood piled up on the north bank of the pontoon bridge, Xing Tianjun did not have time to ignite it and burn down the pontoon bridge when he ran.

At this time, looking at the Xing Tianjun who fled to the north bank and began to disperse, Zu Dale held up Ma Yu and smiled at Zu Kuan and said, "This thief army is nothing more than you!" Zu Kuan, are you still afraid of them?

Zu Kuan's black face turned red and shouted, "I am willing to be a pioneer, cross the river to chase the thief army, and strive to annihilate it in one fell swoop!"

"Exercreate! Go ahead! Then I will cross the river! See you in Yichuan City!" Zu Dale nodded with a smile and agreed.

Zu Kuan shook his horse's reed, shouted at the soldiers under his command and jumped into the river. He didn't even have time to walk on the pontoon bridge, so he rode the water and chased to the other bank.

And Zu Kuan's subordinates are also excited at this time. The last time in the battle of Liuquan Town, Xing Tianjun left a deep impression on them. In private, they even said that they would rather deal with a thousand other thieves alone than meet this terrible Xing Tianjun again! Originally, when they came with the army this time, many people played drums in their hearts for fear of encountering such a big defeat again, but they didn't expect that the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army encountered today were so bad. Although some of them still behaved quite strong after the break, most people obviously did not have the fighting spirit of the day. He fled to the north bank of the river at a touch. Since the thief army has been defeated, what else is there to be afraid of? Seeing that Zu Kuan had jumped into the horse river and killed him on the other side, Zu Kuan's men shouted strangely and jumped into the river and followed Zu Kuan to the other side of the river.

Zu Dale looked at Zu Kuan leaping into the Ma River, and also laughed and commanded his soldiers to start crossing the pontoon bridge to cross the river. When Zu Dale walked through the north end of the pontoon bridge, he also specially noticed the pile of firewood piled up at the head of the pontoon bridge. There was a faint smell of fire oil in his nose, so he laughed and said, "Look The thieves didn't plan to block us on the south bank at all. Even the pontoon bridge had been sprinkled with fire oil, and they didn't have time to disperse. The thief's army is just like this! Speed up the speed of crossing the river and send troops to Yichuan City!"

Under the command of Zu Dale, thousands of officers and soldiers stepped across the pontoon bridge, climbed to the north bank of the Bai River, and chased in the direction of the retreat of the Xing Tian army.

After Zu Kuan crossed the river, he constantly urged the generals under his command to speed up the pursuit of the defeated thief army. Therefore, as soon as he and his generals crossed the river, they began to chase and kill the scattered Xingtian army all the way.
