Chapter 35: Invasion of Teng County
Gao Shilin followed Li Dingguo's order and took the lead in leaving the city. Most of them came out with him were cavalrymen. He gathered soldiers a hundred steps outside the city into a formation, with four hundred cavalrymen.
Fierce fighting sounds came from the city, shaking the sky and the earth. Stimulated by this sound, the horses were beating restlessly, neighing, and anxious emotions enveloped the entire battlefield.
"Why haven't you come out yet?" Gao Shilin whispered to himself anxiously.
He saw countless officers running quickly on the city wall. The torches in their hands were like a long red dragon, illuminating the entire night. You pointed to a general under your command and said, "Take a team of people into the city immediately, and pick up the marquis for me no matter what. The rest scattered to both sides and blocked the enemy troops in the city with bows and arrows."
The horse galloped, the bow and arrow fell. Someone was caught in an arrow, and there was a scream in the darkness. The soldiers fought back with guns, and there was a bang, and some were caught and fell to the ground.
With the cover of Wang Xingyun, Li Dingguo rode out of the city.
There was a storm in the city, and only this gate could lead to the outside. At first, the Longwu Army could barely maintain order. But as more and more pursuers arrived, the shouts of killing from behind were shocking, and everyone fell into panic and panic. The city gate was full of soldiers, crowded and squeezed, blocking, and the speed of leaving the city was reduced.
But after a loud shout, everyone turned their heads and found that it was Li Dingguo who came, and they immediately became quiet. They dodged one after another and gave up a passage for him.
The prestige is so high.
Li Dingguo glanced at everyone and shouted loudly: "I'm waiting for you outside the city. You are not safe to leave the city, so I won't leave."
After saying that, he stopped talking and ran forward. As soon as he reached the suspension bridge, a "bang" gunshot sound came from the upper end. He quickly lowered his body and ran over quickly without being shot. But the soldiers beside him were not so lucky. Many of them were shot and fell directly into the moat.
It is said to be a moat, but it is just a narrow ditch about ten feet long. Moreover, due to the drought, the water inside has already reached the bottom, leaving only sludge as deep as the calves. The soldiers are crawling inside, churning up the mud inside, and the strong smell is disgusting.
Li Dingguo crossed the suspension bridge and looked back, and found that the city gate was full of officials. They were holding muskets and were shooting down in a hurry. Many of the soldiers of the army were shot and screaming, making the city gate even more chaotic. He looked angry and took out a bow and arrow from behind and fired several arrows in succession.
Whenever the arrow shot, a muffled sound would be heard. It was the sound of a soldier's arrow falling into the city and falling to the ground. The Longwu soldiers also came to their senses, held their bows and pulled the strings, and shot upwards.
The city's official army also noticed the situation here at this moment, and fired guns in the direction of him. The bullets hit the ground, dust splashed and smoke rose.
A team of soldiers hurried forward and protected the surrounding area of Li Dingguo with their shields. "Marty, this place is dangerous, let's retreat first!"
Although Li Dingguo was reluctant, he retreated to the range of the musket. Since he followed Zhang Xianzhong, he has fought hundreds of big and small battles. He has also lost, but he has never been so frustrated. His teeth were clenched, and his eyes seemed to be about to burst out from fire, and he wished he could tear Zhou Xian to pieces.
At this moment, Zhou Xian was riding a horse and riding. All he heard was the sound of shouting and thumping muskets from the city. He was anxious and kept slamming his horse and finally arrived outside the south gate. He looked at him and saw hundreds of Longwu soldiers at the gate, who were fighting the army at the city gate with all his strength.
The infantry was still behind, and only his personal soldiers and more than a hundred cavalry were following him. Zhou Xian hesitated for a moment, then attacked the horse's belly and rushed over with all his strength. He saw that the Longwu Army was not in a formation, and his sudden attack might not have no chance of winning. Besides, he only needed to block for a while, and when the subsequent soldiers arrived, he could wipe out the Longwu Army.
More importantly, he saw Li Dingguo from the group of Longwu troops. He had long experienced the power of the latter. If this trouble could be completely solved, Zhou Xian would be completely worry-free in Shandong. With this encouragement, he was so excited that he moved forward. His personal soldiers saw Zhou Xian like this without any hesitation and followed closely behind.
Li Dingguo heard the screams coming from behind him and turned his head to look at him. He saw a cavalry rushing towards him from the slanted back of his own army. If it were before, he would have known that the enemy had been attacking from the sound of horse hooves. But tonight was too chaotic, which disturbed his mood. When the enemy arrived in front of him, he realized it. The anger in his heart suddenly rose and he shouted loudly: "Come with me."
The rear team of the Longwu Army was not prepared and completely disintegrated after Zhou Xian rushed forward. But before he was happy, he saw Li Dingguo leading dozens of cavalry to rush over.
The cavalry on both sides collided fiercely, and for a moment, people were on their backs and overturned. Long spears and short swords attacked each other, sparks flew everywhere. The sound of horses running and neighing; the shouts of people and screams gathered together, short and dull. In the fight in the dark, there was no scene of swords and swords appearing red, but it was even more thrilling.
Li Dingguo stabbed Zhou Xian and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Xian."
Zhou Xian blocked the gun with a gun and laughed: "Brother Li, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"
Li Dingguo said angrily: "Okay, I'll kill you." Although he was speaking, he was not slow at all. He stabbed, picked, threw, and shot at Zhou Xian one after another. He had seen clearly that Zhou Xian had not many cavalry, only more than a hundred cavalry. If he could take him down, the humiliation of the battle would be wiped out.
Zhou Xian was exhausted and fought back, saying, "Brother Li, you surrender! I am short of a horse breeder, come and be a Bimawen. My reinforcements will arrive soon, and you will have no chance if you don't escape. There are tens of thousands of troops ambushed around Teng County. How stupid are you to fall into my trap. I have sent people to attack Xuzhou, and now your hometown has been raided by me..."
As Zhou Xian talked, Li Dingguo was furious. Zhou Xian's seven true and three false words were clearly a turmoil to his morale, but he had no choice but to step up his attack, trying to knock Zhou Xian off his horse with one shot.
Zhou Xian was also having trouble at this moment. His spear skills were not as weak as Li Dingguo, but his strength was not as strong as him. Every time Li Dingguo shot, he could avoid it. Every time the spears were intertwined, he felt that there was a thousand pounds of gravity hitting his arm. He could resist at first, but later it became more and more difficult. He stopped talking and his movements were a little deformed.
What's even more dangerous is that the chaotic Longwu Army gradually reacted. Under the command of the general, they gathered in a team and surrounded Zhou Xian and the more than 100 cavalry.
