Chapter 475 Breakout

Outside the city of Orkhon, there were constant shouts of killing.

At the military camp of the Three Thousand Battalion, a troop of several hundred soldiers rushed over with rifles in hand.

"Report, the first battalion failed to break out!"

Li Zhen asked with a gloomy face: "Order a battalion of thousands of households to come forward and answer!"

"yes!"

A moment later, Zhang Qi, a member of a battalion of one thousand households, strode over.

"I humble myself to Zhang Qi and bow to the Lord!"

Li Zhen's eyes were filled with anger and she asked: "Why did the breakout fail?"

Zhang Qi looked depressed and said: "The enemy's army is strong and we can't attack for a long time. The breakout...failed!"

Li Zhen was so angry that she slammed the table and said angrily: "You are using the most advanced weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty to deal with a third-rate army like Mobei Wei, and you actually told me that we can't take it for a long time?"

"Go back to your father-in-law, we... are low on ammunition!"

Zhang Qi was also helpless. The original target of the Three Thousand Battalion was the 2,000 Tatars. Therefore, when they came out of the capital, they came out in batches, disguised as merchants or travelers, and they did not carry much equipment, and there were no heavy weapons at all.

bring.

Now being held back by the Mobei Guards, with 50,000-horse cavalry suddenly joining the battle in the rear, the disadvantage of insufficient ammunition was instantly exposed.

Of course Li Zhen knew what the problem was, but the emperor was still waiting!

If the Tatars suddenly attack at this time, the emperor will be in danger!

"Continue to break out!"

"But……"

"There is no but, either break out or die!"

Zhang Qi looked stern, cupped her fists and said, "I have the order!"

Li Zhen then ordered the herald: "Order the second, third and fourth battalions to break out from different directions and go to the place designated by the emperor to meet!"

"My lord, there is another cavalry force of unknown origin in the north..."

Li Zhen's eyes widened and she said angrily: "Go and deliver the order quickly!"

"yes!"

The three thousand battalions were divided into five battalions, with each battalion having 600 men. Li Zhen sent out all the first to fourth battalions, leaving only the fifth battalion around him.

This decision was equivalent to using his identity as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army as bait to contain the enemy's main force.

If the 1, 2, 3 and 4 Battalions were able to break through, then his own situation would be in danger.

After Li Zhen gave the order, she was still worried, but she was not worried about her own safety, but about the emperor!

"Get the armor and gather the troops!"

After a while, Li Zhen was fully armed and mounted on horseback.

Ma Fu, a thousand households from the fifth battalion, came to report: "The fifth battalion has been assembled, please give me the order!"

Li Zhen raised the rifle in his hand and shouted: "The Emperor is in trouble and there is no need to delay. Everyone will follow me to the battle to kill the enemy!"

After saying that, he didn't waste any time and rushed towards the south.

The five battalions broke out from five different directions. However, Mobei Guards built multiple defenses outside the 3,000 Battalion. They only surrounded the 3,000 Battalion but did not attack. Each of the 3,000 Battalion only had 20 rounds of ammunition.

For supplies, we can only fight with bayonets.

Li Zhen is very aware of the current situation between the enemy and ourselves. She must quickly break out of the encirclement and at the same time save ammunition as much as possible. This battle is really difficult to fight.

However, we must fight no matter how difficult it is, because the emperor may be in danger at any time.

Even now...

Thinking of this, Li Zhen felt a thrill all over her body, and the murderous intent on her face became even stronger. She took aim with the gun and decisively pulled the trigger. The head of a rebel in front of her was shattered.

However, when the opponent saw the fierce attack, they immediately retreated to their defenses.

They dug targeted trenches, and there were more than a dozen trenches, which could not only contain the speed of the charging horses, but also effectively cause attrition, so that they could drag the three thousand battalions to death.

Li Zhen personally led the team and charged in one direction, quickly passing through the first trench, then the second, and the third...

The further forward, the slower the team progresses.

However, the opponent simply surrounded but did not fight.

The strategic intention is very simple. If you continue to penetrate deeper, your team will not be able to attack quickly and will be surrounded by me. At this time, everyone will be in close combat and your rifle will be useless.

How could Li Zhen not see through the other party's intentions? At this point, he had no choice.

The men and horses of the fifth battalion continued to penetrate deeper into the enemy's ambush circle, and their advancing speed became slower and slower. Finally, a deep horn sound sounded, and all the ambush soldiers from all directions were dispatched, wielding long swords to kill them.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Gunshots sounded like exploding beans, and after bursts of smoke, corpses lay everywhere.

However, there were too many people on the other side, and they were everywhere.

Li Zhen immediately ordered: "Fire the bayonet!"

Click!

Click!

The soldiers took out the triangular spurs and stuck them on the barrel of the gun, turned off the safety, and started a close-quarters fight.

"kill!"

"rush!"

The battlefield was suddenly filled with shouts of killing, people kept falling, and the white snow on the ground turned into a bright red.

Li Zhen was already furious. He knew very well that as long as he was delayed for a moment, the emperor would be in greater danger.

Now we can only fight to the death to fight our way out of the siege.

However, there are too many enemies...

"Master, we can't break out from the front, so we'd better retreat first!"

Li Zhen raised her eyes and saw in front of her was Mafu from the fifth camp with thousands of households.

I saw him holding a rifle, covered in blood, with a long gash on his face, and his skin and flesh were turned out.

"Ma Fu, we can't withdraw!"

"But……"

Li Zhen pointed the gun at him and cursed impatiently: "Damn it, why didn't I realize before that you are a coward who is afraid of death?"

"Master, I'm not afraid of death!"

Ma Fu sighed heavily and said, "But if we all die in battle, what will the emperor do?"

The anger on Li Zhen's face dissipated instantly. Yes, the emperor is still waiting for the three thousand battalions to protect him!

Boom, boom…

A low sound sounded, like muffled thunder.

Li Zhen raised her head and looked at the sky, then suddenly looked at her feet. The earth was trembling.

Ma Fu also sensed that something was wrong and immediately became alert: "There is a cavalry force a hundred steps ahead, at least a thousand... no, at least two thousand!"

For a professional cavalry team, such a sound is too familiar.

Li Zhen asked doubtfully: "Is there still an ambush in Mobei Guards?"

Ma Fu looked around, but couldn't see anything due to the heavy snow in the sky.

"Master, please go back first!"

At this point in the battle, the men and horses of the fifth battalion were already exhausted. If the opponent suddenly killed a cavalry of thousands of people, the consequences would be disastrous!

Li Zhen's teeth were almost broken. Since the establishment of the New Three Thousand Battalion, when has she ever felt so depressed?

"Can't retreat, give the order and continue the attack!"

Ma Fu advised: "Master, you can't..."

Li Zhen waved her hand to stop her and said, "No matter what, I have to rush out today!"

"kill!"

While the two were talking, they heard faint shouts of killing coming from the front.

Li Zhen immediately raised her eyebrows and realized something was wrong.

If this cavalry is the opponent's ambush or reinforcements, their target must be themselves.

However, when he started charging all the way away, it was obviously not for him!
