As soon as the words fell, a gunshot rang in everyone's ears. They saw Meng Zhaoxiang holding a three-eyed gun and shooting at Li Guo. Although he was hundreds of steps away, he did not directly kill Li Guo, but the other party was also struck by this.
The sudden shot stunned him to the point of being stunned.
He never thought that this Ming official would dare to shoot? Didn't he know that as long as King Chuang waved his hand, the capital they were stationed in would be breached in less than a day?
When that time comes, will they still be so arrogant?
Li Guo was so humiliated that he immediately drew his sword and no longer wanted to play with this man. He immediately ordered the five thousand infantry behind him to charge forward. Even though the opponent was all cavalry and even if they were called the Beijing Camp, he was not afraid at all.
Jingying? He has encountered it before, and it is vulnerable to a single blow.
If his 5,000 men were still a little cautious when encountering 3,000 Guan Ning cavalry and did not dare to fight with them easily, they would definitely have to use some kind of strategy to make themselves feel more at ease, but in the Beijing camp? That was not necessary.
All he had to do was wait here and witness the annihilation of this menacing Beijing camp.
But the scene that happened next made him completely dumbfounded, and he almost screamed. Before his five thousand infantry could rush forward, more than half of his five thousand infantry were directly killed by one shot from the opponent's Shenji Battalion. Even though
He was not killed on the spot, but was seriously injured and lying on the ground.
The Beijing camp army immediately changed its group of people to stand in the front row. Following the leader's command, a round of fire was launched. Immediately, dozens of infantry at the forefront screamed and fell to the ground.
Seeing that his soldiers were undoubtedly committing suicide, the young general beside Li Guo begged him to let his brothers retreat. However, as the commander-in-chief, he knew clearly that if he retreated at this moment and left behind, wouldn't he be betrayed alive?
A living target?
Therefore, he had no choice but to retreat, and the offensive had to be more fierce. At this moment, he no longer hesitated and immediately ordered everyone to rush over. He even shouted the slogan that the first person who rushed past would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!
Hearing such a temptation, the infantrymen in front immediately became red-eyed, waving their knives desperately and rushing towards the capital camp desperately. The darkness was accompanied by the sound of fighting that resounded through the sky. Even Meng Zhaoxiang was a little confused.
nervous.
This is the first time he has commanded an army to fight against the invaders in the field. Moreover, the soldiers in his hands were almost vulnerable to a blow half a month ago. He had no power to resist the invaders. But now that he has taken the post of governor-general, he can lead the army.
The last army in the capital that could compete with the invading army, even though it felt uncomfortable inside, it still did not retreat even a step.
Based on this, he is completely different from those defenders who surrendered and fled for their lives.
But even if he has an indomitable spirit, it is inevitable that his soldiers have this heart. They were just defeated troops a few days ago, and there were many moths hiding around them. In less than half a month, they were like ordering
It is really difficult for them to reinvent themselves.
Just like now, many people's legs and feet began to tremble uncontrollably when facing the surging intruders. The hand holding the gun was shaking even more, and the cold sweat turned into large beads of sweat and fell down.
"No one is allowed to take a step back! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
Meng Zhaoxiang is no longer merciful. Facing the massive intruders, they have gained some advantages. As long as they hold on and listen to the orders carefully, they will not lose! Even if they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers!
"Commander-General of Shenji Battalion, Staff-General of the Fifth Army Battalion, and Staff-General of the Three Thousand Battalions, if one of your battalions escapes from the battlefield, or is so frightened that he wets his pants, you will be the first to die!"
"Now, the Shenji Battalion reloads! The first row shoots! The second row prepares, and the third row loads!"
"put!"
There was another round of gunfire, and each soldier of the Shenji Battalion aimed at the enemy. When they pulled the trigger, a large number of enemies were hit immediately, and the blood was aroused and they fell backward. Then they retreated to the end after the fight, and the second row
Immediately change positions and stand in the front. The third row has also been loaded at this time, so stand in the second row.
The intruders were still rushing forward regardless of sacrifice. They were once honest farmers in the fields, but now they were the intruders fighting hard. Their eyes were blood red, and they had no choice but to pay for the one hundred taels of silver promised by Li Guo.
One person shrinks back, but moves forward bravely with almost no fear of death. Even if he dies, as long as he rushes to the front, he will have money.
The life of the mother, wife and children at home has been settled, not for anything else but for their own family.
Rounds of gunshots rang out, and a large number of intruders fell down one after another, but immediately after, countless intruders stepped on the fallen bodies of the people in front and continued to rush up. Even though the Shenji Battalion kept steady and obeyed orders and fired regularly,
But they were unable to resist the intruders who were attacking so fiercely.
Gradually, the intruders were no more than a hundred steps away from the Shenji Battalion who was shooting at the front. Meng Zhaoxiang made a decisive decision and immediately ordered the Shenji Battalion to retreat, and then ordered the fifth military battalion to dismount and prepare for battle!
The five military camps used to be infantry, but now the number of people in the Beijing camp has been falsified due to some noble manipulations, historical records, and false numbers. Therefore, although there are tens of thousands of people there, when Meng Zhaoxiang took office, it was really only 2,000.
Moreover, after his reorganization, a large number of war horses returned to the military camp, and they no longer had to be used by their relatives to pull carts and plow the fields. Therefore, even though they were all infantry, the fifth military camp was also equipped with war horses.
The purpose is to enable the entire Beijing Camp to exert huge mobility and demonstrate higher combat effectiveness.
What they are equipped with is no longer the Ming Chang Dao, but the Pu Dao specially replaced by Meng Zhaoxiang, which is composed of a shield. The Pu Dao has a wide and long blade. The knife must be held in both hands to swing it, so its lethality is undoubtedly higher than that of the Ming Chang Dao.
The knife is much bigger.
After hearing the order, the General of the Fifth Army Battalion immediately dismounted and stood at the front with more than a thousand of the Fifth Army Battalion to cover the retreat of the Shenji Battalion. They all glared angrily and held their swords tightly, waiting for the intruders to rush in and kill them.
The Chuang army undoubtedly underestimated the power of the fifth army camp. Li Guo only saw his own army joining them. He was overjoyed when the opponent's Shenji battalion retreated. He felt that except for the guns and cannons, the morale of the army was vulnerable and he was excited.
At the same time, I thought he was going to win a big victory.
But Chuang Jun's performance immediately afterwards put him in embarrassment again.
As soon as the infantry of the invading army held long swords and fought with the fifth army camp, they were knocked to the ground by a blow from the opponent's simple knife. The offensive that followed became more and more fierce. They were not afraid at all in the face of the overwhelming invading army.
Their long swords were almost invulnerable to the simple swords of the Fifth Army Camp.
The huge earthquake force directly shook their hands to the point of pain. The intruders who thought they would be able to face it without any pressure were killed when they faced the enemy on their backs, with blood splattering everywhere.
Seeing this, Meng Zhaoxiang knew that this opportunity could not be missed, and immediately ordered the 3,000 battalion to be divided into two teams, and directly attacked the flanks of the Chuang army while the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion resisted their offensive.
When Li Yuan saw Meng Zhaoxiang disappear suddenly, he had a premonition that something was not good. The next second he saw him rushing out from the side with a large group of cavalry, then bypassing the army in front of him and heading straight to the flank.
"No! He wants to outflank our army! We must not let him succeed!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yuan hurriedly rode towards Meng Zhaoxiang with only a few hundred cavalry, but he did not know that there was also a group of cavalry surrounding him on the other side.
Came over.
"Eagle Dog! You accept your life!"
Li Guo used his good sword skills and left a wound on Meng Zhaoxiang's arm in one confrontation. The blood immediately stained the white clothes inside. He felt that Meng Zhaoxiang was nothing more than that, so he rushed forward again with a sinister smile.
Meng Zhaoxiang was also unambiguous, and went straight to fight with him without the protection of the people around him. They tried their best with every move, showing no mercy to the other, and almost slashed at the opponent's vital points with every move.
It's a pity that the two have similar martial arts skills, so they fought for more than ten rounds without any success.
However, the battlefield where the soldiers fought was extremely tragic. The intruders knew that this time they were in a stalemate and could not win as easily as before. However, the pride of victory over the past few days had already spread throughout the entire army, so they let them
Surrendering is almost impossible.
The three major battalions of the Beijing Camp are also different from before. They no longer have the cowardice of the past, but are now more courageous. It is also because of the consideration of His Majesty and the Governor that each of them is fighting to the death to kill the enemy.
The Three Thousand Battalion successfully circled back and attacked directly on the flank of the invading army. The invading army was suddenly in chaos. Their formation was scattered. Countless people were trampled to death by horse hooves. The wailing could not be heard endlessly. Everyone was trying their best to kill the enemy. Even though there were blood marks all over their bodies,
Not caring at all.
But Li Yuan, who was struggling to hold on at this moment, couldn't hold on anymore.
