Chapter 311
As the commander of this army, Li Chengliang is naturally very prestigious.
In addition, the personal soldiers and supervision team behind killed all the deserters, which was a great shock to the other soldiers. The remaining soldiers gave the entire team the order to prepare for the war at the general's office.
At this time, Li Chengliang retreated behind the supervision team.
He was also scared just now, after all, those flowering bullets almost killed him.
And he knew very well that since Huang Degong had dozens of red cannons, even if they rely on the town as their position, it would be difficult to defend them.
Therefore, he was already considering withdrawing his troops and escaping.
Whether it was his origins as a bandit or his experience as an official army in the Ming Dynasty, he was very good at running away.
However, he had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and there were tens of thousands of Eight Banners troops behind him. If he just fled like this, let alone being unable to survive in the Qing Dynasty, he might be beheaded by Duoduo on his crimes.
‘No, I have to stay here for an hour no matter what!’
Thinking of this in his heart, Li Chengdong immediately said: "Tell me the order to let the previous retirement retreat 300 steps, and prepare to rely on the buildings in the town to fight street battles!
If we send a fast horse to find the Eight Banners Army, we will say that the artillery of Huang Degong's troops is fierce and we cannot resist it. Please provide a quick support to King Yu!"
"Abide by the order!"
Several messengers were ordered to run away.
Li Chengdong saw that the troops in front slowly retreated and there was no confusion, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his breathing, he heard a series of roars again.
As soon as I looked up, I saw the spark-burning flower bullets falling straight down here!
"Damn it! Is this Huang Chuangzi's shell so good that he has eyes?!"
Li Chengdong ran back in a hurry while cursing.
This second round of shells seemed too unreasonable to him.
One was passed too quickly, only a few dozen breaths before the first round of shells.
Secondly, the shell landing point actually extended backwards, just where they were the most crowded.
It's simply evil.
Just as Li Chengdong cursed in his heart, a shell fell behind him, which made him fall again, and made him experience the feeling of passing by the god of death for the second time.
After he got up, he ran and shouted, "Retreat! Retreat me to the town!"
When the second round of shells fell, the troops at the Nanjiekou were already retreating, and compared with the people, and there were many houses around, thirty or forty flowering bullets caused nearly a thousand casualties.
.
When he heard Li Chengdong's order to retreat again, he could no longer hold back and was defeated directly into the town.
There were even a considerable number of people fled to the building complex on both sides of the east and west.
Xu Lun, the Flying Eagle Team who were in charge of observation in the rear, saw this scene from the tablet computer and was stunned for a moment.
None of them expected that Li Chengdong's men would retreat after being so careless.
Didn’t it mean that Li Chengdong was originally a subordinate of Gao Jie and his troops were the second elite in the four towns in Jiangbei?
That's the result?
"It's broken!" After coming to his senses, Xu Lun frowned first, "Jingnanbo and the others are still one mile away from the town. Li Chengdong's people have already retreated to the town. How can they catch up with it?
There are also Huang Ming and Chen Xianchi's troops, who may have begun to attack the east and west sides of the town.
After they entered, would they suffer huge casualties because of Li Chengdong's troops retreating to the town?"
Since joining the Flying Eagles, although the three have learned some battlefield military analysis, they have not learned battlefield command and have no relevant experience. Therefore, they cannot judge how the battlefield situation will develop in the future.
Menggandao: "Let's report to the supervisor."
"That's all."
Xu Lun immediately took out the walkie-talkie and reported the matter to Zhu Ma.
After Zhu Mai learned about it, she first contacted Huang Degong, but found that she could not contact him at all, so she contacted Huang Ming and Chen Xianke.
This time I finally got in touch.
"See the Superintendent!" Although it was separated by the walkie-talkie, the two of them still greeted each other as if they were in person.
Zhu Nishi Ze said directly: "More than 10,000 main forces arranged by Li Chengdong at the intersection of Nanjie retreated to the town after two rounds of artillery attacks, but Huang Degong and Zhang Jie's troops were still one mile away from entering the town.
If you attack the town, you must be careful to encounter the main force in Li Cheng’s eastern part.”
Zhu Mai did not conduct remote control commands, but only told the two of them about the battlefield.
Huang Ming and Chen Xiance were stunned when they heard this.
Chen Xianzi immediately asked: "Did Li Chengdong's main force confirm that it was a retreat rather than a voluntary retreat?"
Based on the details of Xu Lun's report, Zhu Ma said: "It was indeed a retreat. There were less than 5,000 people following Li Chengdong to obey the command."
When he heard this, Huang Ming and Chen Xiancai were all moved.
Then Chen Xianzi said excitedly: "Report to the supervisor, since Li Chengdong's troops have collapsed, we should attack the town sooner, so that we can try our best to annihilate his troops and even leave them all in Yangzijin. !”
Previously, after Chen Xiance and Zhang Jie were punished for causing trouble, he felt a little resentful towards Zhu Moe and Huang Degong.
But after understanding Zhu Mai's various magic weapons and knowing that Zhu Mai was "destined by heaven", his ideas completely changed.
At this time, he realized the opportunity to make contributions and was unwilling to let go.
Zhu Ma said: "I am just telling you the situation on the battlefield, and it depends on you to deal with it in detail."
Huang Ming and Chen Xiance immediately said: "I will order a fierce attack after all."
Zhu Ma said, "Go."
In fact, the troops under the two men were already attacking the west and east docks of the town, but they didn't do their best.
But after the competition with Zhu Mai, the two immediately ordered a full-scale attack.
In addition, Li Chengdong's troops, who were responsible for defending the east and west sides of the town, heard the movement at the intersection of the South Street, were anxious and were defeated shortly afterwards.
On the other side, Huang Degong saw that the enemy troops at the intersection of Nanjie retreated directly, and immediately responded.
He gave in the infantry to stop charging and entered the town at normal speed.
He threw people and waved the flags to gather more than 500 cavalry from the army, accelerated to rush into the town, and chased Li Chengdong's defeated soldiers.
···
"How could it look like this?"
Li Chengdong, who retreated into the town, rode on a horse, looked at the soldiers and horses that were constantly retreating from the south and east and west, and couldn't help but look confused.
He never expected that under the threat of two rounds of flowering bullets, his tactical retreat directly turned into a major retreat.
At the same time, the east and west sides could not resist, allowing the Ming army to attack in.
Looking around, there are only five or six thousand soldiers who can gather around him to obey the command.
And they are still being hit by defeated soldiers.
He knew that if he ordered a group of defeated soldiers to be killed, he could control the situation.
But what after doing this?
With the remnants of troops, did you fight Huang Degong to the death in this town?
What's the difference between seeking death?
Thinking of the fact that when I was watching before, I didn't seem to see how many cavalry there were in the "Huangming" unit. When I think about Li Yuanyin's situation so far, he guessed that most of the Ming cavalry were led away by Li Yuanyin.
Thinking of this, he finally made a decision.
"The order is sent to ask the troops of all units to withdraw from Yangzijin immediately and retreat to Sanwan!"
"yes!"
After the messenger left, Li Chengdong led more than a thousand light cavalry and more than 4,000 elite infantrymen in the headquarters to continue to retreat north.
He ordered the defeated soldiers to block the road.
In this way, he quickly withdrew from the small town of Yangzijin.
As a general with rich experience in escape, Li Chengdong knew that running with his head down was definitely not good. After all, he still had four or five thousand armored infantry beside him, and he couldn't be fast.
So he ordered the infantry to continue to retreat north, and he led more than a thousand cavalry to retreat to both sides of the official road, preparing to attack a wave of pursuit troops behind him.
As long as the pursuit army is defeated once, the remaining Ming army will definitely become cautious and dare not pursue and fight again.
Just as Li Chengdong's cavalry retreated from the official road for only a hundred breaths, a large group of cavalry chased after him.
Li Chengliang took a quick look and then rushed to the cavalry behind him and said, "The enemy cavalry is only four or five hundred, let me defeat them!"
After saying that, he waved his long knife and took the lead in rushing out.
These cavalry were Li Chengliang's personal soldiers, with elite, loyal and combat power. At this time, they shouted and killed each other and rushed towards the official road.
"Kill-"
Li Chengliang was shouting for killing, but he saw clearly that the hundreds of cavalry leaders were almost knocked off his horse.
"Huang Degong?!"
