Thinking of this, Li Zhi replied coldly: "The traitors either retreated or were routed. My troops defeated the traitors!"
When Liu Liangzuo heard this, his eyes widened. He stared at Li Zhi as if he saw a monster.
"You defeated 30,000 thieves?"
"Exactly!"
Liu Liangzuo looked at Li Zhi's troops and saw that the Huben Division was unscathed and no one was injured. His eyes widened even more: "There are no casualties among your troops?"
"Exactly!"
Only then did Liu Liangzuo notice that some areas in front were filled with corpses of bandits, scattered everywhere. Those corpses had been beheaded by Li Zhi's soldiers and horses, and blood flowed into streams. Not only were the corpses of bandits on the ground, but there were also many injured.
The wandering thieves and horses of the land.
This Li Zhi really defeated an army of 30,000 thieves.
There were no casualties in defeating 30,000 thieves. Even the Qi family army back then did not have such combat power. Are Li Zhi's guerrilla soldiers all heavenly soldiers? If he had heard this from others, Liu Liangzuo would not have believed it. But.
The thieves who had sealed the entrance of the valley just now were gone. The corpses of thieves were scattered on the ground in front of them, and Li Zhi's soldiers and horses were completely placed here. Liu Liangzuo had to believe this fact.
Liu Liangzuo was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
Li Zhi said coldly to Liu Liangzuo, who was extremely surprised: "I will go to support the Prime Minister's Chinese army first. The generals should not run away, gather the broken troops quickly, and go back to kill the traitors!"
Abandoning the stunned Liu Liangzuo, Li Zhi led the Huben Division and rushed to the battle site between Xiong Wencan's army and the three bandits.
After walking another mile, Li Zhi saw another army of soldiers fleeing. This army was defeated but not dispersed, and it was still carrying a flag. It was the Shanxi army of General Chen Hongfan. He probably saw it.
The bandits at the entrance of the valley were gone and there was a way to escape. Chen Hongfan's troops also lost their fighting spirit and fled collectively.
Li Zhi despised this rogue official who abandoned his comrades. Li Zhi didn't even bother to say hello to him, so he led his troops and passed by his deserters.
Chen Hongfan was very surprised when he saw the unscathed Huben division. He looked at Li Zhi's soldiers and horses from his horse, and then looked at the deserted entrance to the valley, his eyes full of doubts.
Li Zhi's troops repelled 30,000 thieves without any injuries? Is this a divine soldier descending to earth?
Seeing Li Zhi rushing to the battlefield with the heroic Tiger Division, Chen Hongfan made a small calculation again: Li Zhi's troops are so powerful that they are worth 30,000 rogue soldiers. This battle is promising. If you follow Li Zhi and fight back
, maybe even win some military exploits
Arriving at the battlefield to the east of the valley, Li Zhi took a look and found that the situation was very unfavorable to the army.
Except for Li Zhi, the official army originally had 43,000 people. Zuo Liangyu's 6,000 soldiers and horses were not around, so the official army only had 37,000 people. However, Liu Liangzuo's troops collapsed, Chen Hongfan fled with his troops, and the official army only had 37,000 troops.
There were 30,000 soldiers left. These 30,000 soldiers and horses were very passive against the more than 40,000 bandits.
Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers and horses were very brave, forcing the army to retreat continuously and lose their formation.
The officers and soldiers were surrounded by the bandits from three directions and could only defend the door. Even the newly recruited Guangdong army by Xiong Wencan also entered the battle and desperately supported it in the middle of the battlefield. Huang Degong, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, waved his sword and shouted: "Liu
There are many thieves and cavalry, and if you run away, you will die, so we can only fight to the death here!"
The 6,500 soldiers of the Beijing camp under Huang Degong shouted loudly and fought hard to hold their positions on the battlefield. They were the best among the officers and soldiers.
Mou Wenshou, the commander-in-chief of Fengsi, was still brave. He waved his halberd and stood guard in front of Xiong Wencan, preventing a single traitor from attacking the Prime Minister. Under his protection, Xiong Wencan, an old man in his sixties, barely stood firm on the battlefield.
.
Judging from the situation of the battle, if Li Zhi had not come to support, the army would have been defeated in less than half an hour.
Liu Yuanbin, the supervisor of the Beijing camp, was looking at the dangerous battle situation with a pale face when he suddenly saw Li Zhi's banner approaching. He was stunned and said with surprise on his face: "Prime Minister, Li Zhi is here!"
Xiong Wencan was anxious in the formation, worried that another army team would be defeated like Liu Liangzuo and Chen Hongfan, but suddenly Liu Yuanbin didn't react to these words and said: "What?"
Liu Yuanbin smiled on his face, pointed at the big flag with Li characters slowly approaching in the distance and said: "Look, Prime Minister!"
Xiong Wencan looked up and saw the big flag with the letter "Li" approaching in the distance.
Did Li Zhi really defeat the 30,000 thieves? Did reinforcements come over? This Li Zhi's army is a tiger and wolf division. Even the late commander-in-chief Cao Wenzhao's hundreds of battles army cannot match Li Zhi's army. Xiong Wencan
I felt pleasantly surprised and indescribably happy, and a smile appeared on my face.
When Li Zhi arrived, if it were any later, the officers and soldiers would not be able to hold on.
With such a strong army, there is great hope to defeat this Xianzhong!
Mou Wenshou, the chief military officer of Fengsi, was standing guard in front of Xiong Wencan. He and Xiong Wencan were also very surprised when they saw the large flag with the letter "Li" slowly moving over.
This is Li Zhi's banner! This guerrilla Li Zhi was not eaten by 30,000 thief soldiers? Did he really defeat 30,000 thief soldiers? Did the thief soldiers retreat on their own? Impossible, this time the guerrillas used a bitter trick
He deceived the army and surrounded the valley with the intention of killing them all in one fell swoop. He would never retreat easily. There was only one possibility that Li Zhi could come back to support him, that is, he really defeated 30,000 thieves.
How could Li Zhi's firearms troops be so powerful? In the morning, they annihilated the Xian thief's knights in a single encounter, and now they have repelled 30,000 bandits. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have swept across all directions!
Compared with Li Zhi's powerful soldiers and horses, his own lead is simply a joke!
Huang Degong, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, was fighting back and forth among the thieves with a big knife. He was so jealous when he looked up and saw Li Zhi's flag.
Li Zhi really defeated 30,000 bandits and came with support? How long did it take?
Even the Qi family army in the previous dynasty did not have such combat power. Li Zhi's soldiers and horses were all magic weapons? Huang Degong knew that he had hope to defeat the rogue coalition in front of him this time, and he felt a little happy. But thinking about Li Zhi's
The soldiers and horses were so strong, and then looking at the weak soldiers under his command, Huang Degong felt a little worried.
Could it be that building an army with firearms is really so powerful?
No matter what, if you are lucky enough to survive after this battle, you must ask Li Zhi for advice on how to build an army.

Zhang Xianzhong is a man in his early thirties, tall and slender, with a long beard. At this time, he was wearing a large-brimmed cloth hat, riding a horse and standing on a hill, nervously watching the situation on the battlefield.
He stood on the hill and looked around, clearly seeing the situation inside and outside the entire valley.
The fighting strength of the officers and soldiers was mediocre. Facing the rebels on their side, the officers and soldiers were completely at a disadvantage. Originally, the 46,000 rebels overwhelmed the 37,000 officers and soldiers, and gradually the formation of the officers and soldiers was defeated. Zhang Xianzhong was full of
I thought victory was coming, but I saw the roar of cannons in the distance, and the eight thousand strong army under the banner of "Li" defeated Luo Rucai's three rebel armies!
Where did this powerful army come from? Eight thousand people actually defeated 30,000 rebels.
