Mr. Li even said to withdraw, so of course Yang Sanbao didn't care about his good brother Wang Sihu, who had a big head. He left him to the enemy unfaithfully and followed Mr. Li to Huya Mountain. It has to be said that he was taken advantage of by Ding Papi.

Long-term work is still good for physical strength. Ding Papi can't be said to be very generous, but he doesn't starve Yang Sanbao. Moreover, the Ding family's farm work is not busy all year round. Yang Sanbao often goes to Huya Mountain to hunt during the slack time. As time goes by,

, he worked hard and was able to walk quickly among the mountains and forests. So although he started to run away from the end of the team (originally the head of the team), he ran to the middle of the team after a while and bumped into no one.

Then he stopped and took a closer look, and he actually bumped into "Mr. Li".

Niu Jie recognized that Yang Sanbao was leading the way and shouted quickly: "Quick, lead the way to Huya Mountain!"

"Okay, okay..."

Yang Sanbao responded, grabbed Niu Jie, and ran towards Huya Mountain. He dragged everyone along without stopping along the way.

At this time, the shouting of killing started from behind! It got louder and louder, accompanied by gunshots and horrifying screams!

The battlefield turned out to be like this! Yang Sanbao felt regretful at this moment. If he had known this fate, wouldn't he have been an honest laborer? There would be food and drink, and the young lady of the Ding family could...see

!Although it can only be viewed from a distance, the Three Treasures have good eyesight and can see clearly, which is also very pleasing to the eye!

It’s over now. Mr. Li and the Da Shuntian soldiers were beaten like this when they encountered hundreds of native soldiers from Yiling Prefecture. If they are to encounter the emperor’s own personal guards, your family’s King Chuang is coming.

For free!

Niu Jie also lost confidence in the uprising at this time. His backbone is only a thousand "second generation people" from Sichuan and Yunnan. Now I don't know how many of them can escape!

It seems that starting an uprising on Zhu Ming's territory is not possible. If you can still return to Huya Mountain alive, you should break up and run away!

...

"We can't break up!"

"How can we break up?"

"Now it's just a small setback, why did it break up?"

"Yes, there are still three to four thousand heroes on Huya Mountain, how can they be dispersed?"

"Where can we disperse? When the officers and soldiers arrive and search everywhere, will we still be alive?"

"Yes! We can't leave!"

"Fight with the Zhu family!"

Contrary to the expectations of Niu Jie and Yang Sanbao, the heroes on Huya Mountain were very loyal to the peasant revolutionary cause of Dashun Dynasty and refused to accept "Master Li's" proposal to break up the gang.

Niu Jie had no idea for a while, so he had to ask Zhang Xiucai for advice.

Zhang Xiucai is a local snake here in Huya Mountain, and now he seems to have become the backbone of a group of gangsters. He seems to be quite capable.

"Master Li," Zhang Xiucai waved a goose-feather fan he found somewhere and pretended to count his fingers, "It's impossible to go west along the Yangtze River, and it's impossible to go east either...

...For the present plan, the only way is to cross the river and go to Sichuan via Jingmen Mountain and Qingjiang River."

"Going to Sichuan?" Niu Jie frowned and said to himself: There are already too many military households in Sichuan to arrange. Where can you people stay?

"Is it possible?" Niu Jie didn't dare to tell the truth, because there were only more than a hundred people who followed him back from Wujiagang... There were three to four thousand heroes here who couldn't hold them down!

"It works!" Zhang Xiucai said, "Jingmen Mountain and the Qingjiang River have always been the channels for private traders to enter and leave Sichuan. There are not many cities along the way, but there are many cottages where Jingchu heroes are entrenched. Even if you can't go to Sichuan for a while, you can still go there.

Let’s stay there. Mr. Li, don’t hesitate, let’s run away while there are still many ships on the river!”

Niu Jie thought for a while, nodded heavily, and said: "It's just what you said! Let's... go to Sichuan via Jingmen Mountain and Qingjiang!"

...

The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing echoed through the mountains and fields in the dark night.

Shouts with a Shaanxi accent were heard approaching from the north and south. The light artillery mounted on wooden boats fired continuously. The shells hit the city wall of Lueyang, and the sound of shells collapsing against city bricks was heard everywhere.

The upper and lower walls of Lueyang City, and the Xiangshan Mountain on the back of Lueyang City, were blazing with fire.

Wu Sangui stood on the top of Xiangshan Mountain, crouching behind a low wall made of earth and wood, staring at the battlefield in front of him. He was surrounded by all the soldiers of the Wu family, and they all wanted to throw him off the low wall.

Carrying it down. Now the entire Lueyang battlefield is looking at the top of Xiangshan Mountain - Lueyang City is built with the back of Xiangshan Mountain, with four walls from bottom to top.

It is almost impossible to attack Lueyang City from the bottom up!

However, the Xiangshan Mountain that Lueyang backs up is a bit taller. If Lueyang City had to be built from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top, the amount of work would be too large. Therefore, Lueyang City only reaches the mountainside. At the same time, in order to prevent the enemy from occupying the Xiangshan Mountain first, and then condescendingly

After conquering Lueyang, a wooden fort was built on the top of the mountain.

When the Dashun Army evacuated, the originally strong wooden fort was burned down by a fire, leaving only the base. After Wu Sangui decided to defend Lueyang, he immediately sent people to repair the wooden fort on the top of the mountain. However, the project was only

Halfway through, Li Dingguo called.

Although Wu Sangui now has tens of thousands of people at his disposal, most of them are "volunteers" who have not been properly trained. Dashun, which is based on government soldiers, has strict restrictions on civilian force. Non-government soldiers are not allowed to have weapons, armor, or weapons.

Practice battles. There is no problem in relying on them to defend the city, but it is indeed more difficult to rely on them to defend the mountain.

So Wu Sangui had no choice but to abandon the north slope of Xiangshan Mountain and only guard the top and south slopes. He personally supervised the battle on the top of the mountain!

Except for the more than 100,000 Guardsmen who have been practicing military training since childhood, the rest of the Ming army is not as good as the Shun army in mountain warfare, not to mention that there are only a few Ming soldiers as the backbone of this army, and most of them are "righteous people"

They were semi-militiamen. So the battle on Xiangshan Mountain was full of dangers!

By February 15th, Li Dingguo's troops had penetrated to the south slope of Xiangshan Mountain, threatening the connection between the mountaintop fortress and Xiangshan City.

Wu Sangui knew that his soldiers could not compete with others on the hillside, so he simply handed over the city defense to his son Wu Yinglin, and led thousands of people to the top of the mountain with enough food and drinking water (there is a stone structure for storing water in the base of the mountaintop castle)

The reservoir (because it had rained for a few days before, so it was full of rainwater), was ready to hold on to the end - as long as the top of the mountain was not lost, the Shun Army brigade could not reach the south slope, so hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers could only fight in the mountains and forests.

Several times the number of Wu troops were defeated, but there was not enough to attack the Lueyang city wall.

So Li Dingguo concentrated his efforts to storm the top of Xiangshan Mountain - as long as he captured the top of the mountain, Lueyang City would be within his grasp.

After recapturing Lueyang and killing Wu Sangui, the battlefield in southern Shaanxi can at least be stabilized!

Now that Aiqineng has led the army into Tibet, once Wuszang is captured and the big lama is captured, the Dashun Dynasty will take a turn for the worse...

Under Li Dingguo's supervision, another wave of Dashun Army death squads surged up the northeast and west slopes of Xiangshan Mountain toward the mountaintop fortress. Those at the front were musketeers, carrying bayonet-mounted matchlocks and roaring.

Shouting and rushing to the top of the mountain, they did not fire randomly. They rushed until they were within thirty steps of the fortress on the top of the mountain before starting to fire a salvo! A hail of bullets hit, and the people on the fortress fell on their backs, and screams and screams were heard everywhere. Behind Wu Sangui, a private soldier

Wu Sangui fell to the ground without even uttering a scream. The bullets hit the sandbags around Wu Sangui, creating a mess of smoke and dust!

Several soldiers tried to pull him down, but he pushed him away violently. Old Wu was now desperate, and asked loudly with a cold face: "Is there anyone who escaped from the battle?"

Of course! Dozens of them have been captured by the war supervising team sent by Wu Sangui. Their heads were cut off and carried with spears. They looked bloody and scary!

Wu Sangui then shouted angrily: "Brothers, the Guards are coming all the way, and the 50,000 Guards Iron Army is trying to cut off Li Dingguo's retreat! Li Dingguo can't be arrogant for much longer, and the rogue bandits can't be arrogant for long either...
Chapter completed!
