Chapter 1435: Defeat of the Qing Army
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
A large number of arrows fell into the ranks of the fleeing soldiers.
A large number of fleeing soldiers were shot.
Some were shot dead on the spot, and some lost their ability to move.
However, losing the ability to move at this point is no different from death.
Because the people behind them will soon trample them into mud.
When people are running for their lives, they become very brave.
Although these defeated soldiers did not dare to fight the Ming army head-on, they dared to draw their knives against the Qing army that blocked their way of survival.
Now, they will kill anyone who dares to think they are running away, even the Qing army.
People's will to survive is very strong.
These defeated soldiers actually rushed into the Qing army's formation under the hail of arrows.
These defeated soldiers were already mad with anger. They didn't care who was in front of them. As long as anyone stood in their way, they would chop them down with their knives.
When you die, everything ends.
If you don't die, keep killing.
Under the desperate charge of these fleeing soldiers, they actually rushed into the Qing army's formation, disrupting the Qing army's formation.
"This is trash."
Li Qifeng was so angry that his teeth were almost broken.
"Kill them all! Kill all these deserters!"
Just as the defeated soldiers and the Green Camp Army were fighting, Mu Jiansheng led an army of 30,000 and slowly caught up.
"Captain, I don't know why the fleeing soldiers and the Green Camp soldiers started fighting. Judging from the flags, they should be the Green Camp soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi."
"Are all the Green Camp members from Guangdong and Guangxi here? That's great. It saves me from having to look for them one by one."
Mu Jiansheng commanded the grenadier corps to form a formation and slowly push forward.
"The demon is coming, run!"
When the defeated soldiers saw the Ming army chasing them, they were so frightened that their swords became three times faster.
However, the Flying Thunder Cannon was ready faster than them.
Boom, boom, boom!
Accompanied by bursts of violent roars.
One after another, the explosive packs fell into the melee of the Qing army.
One after another, the broken bodies flew up and scattered everywhere.
Now Li Qifeng understood why Shang Kexi's army retreated so quickly.
He couldn't withstand an attack of this intensity.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Li Qifeng turned his horse around and ran back.
At this point, he no longer cared about whether he was guilty or not. Even if he was taken to the capital and beheaded, that would be a matter for the future.
If you don't run now, you won't survive the day.
Li Qifeng himself ran away, and the remaining Qing troops had no reason to continue fighting.
Everyone turned and ran, some even dropped their weapons.
"Captain, shall we chase them?" asked the adjutant.
"The main army will continue to advance at the planned speed, and the cavalry will follow and attack. Do not advance rashly. Once the enemy slows down, withdraw ."
Mu Jiansheng said.
"yes!"
Under Mu Jiansheng's command, the cavalry corps rushed forward.
The cavalry corps did not directly attack the fleeing soldiers' camp, but followed them all the time, neither fast nor slow, killing only the slowest runners, clearing out the slowest enemies bit by bit.
In this way, those running in front will not stop and look back to help their comrades behind as long as there is still hope of survival.
The comrades who fell behind tried hard to run faster than others.
At times like this, as long as you are faster than your companions, you can survive.
In order to survive, some people will even take the initiative to break a companion's leg, letting the companion fall behind to block the enemy and buy themselves time to escape, even if it is only a little time.
The cavalry corps is like this
Tactics continued to weaken the strength of the fleeing soldiers.
They chased all the way to Tianlin County and stopped only when they saw the Qing army retreating into the city.
Cavalry has no ability to attack cities.
The cavalry corps stayed in the surrounding area to monitor the movements of the Qing army and sent people to inform Mu Jiansheng of the situation.
Only after escaping all the way to Tianlin County did Li Qifeng breathe a sigh of relief.
"Close the city gate quickly, or the Ming army will catch up with us."
"Sir, those defeated soldiers ..." asked the personal soldier.
"Close the city gates tightly, and do not allow anyone to enter. All the defeated soldiers should go to Yongzhou to join forces."
Li Qifeng said.
The guards had no choice but to order people to close the city gates and pass on the order.
Seeing that they could not enter the city gate, the defeated soldiers could only scatter in all directions.
Li Qifeng had been running for the whole afternoon, feeling frightened, tired and hungry. He quickly ate the welcoming banquet prepared by the county magistrate and then lay down and fell asleep.
He didn't even summon the concubine who was to sleep with him.
In the middle of the night, Li Qifeng was awakened by a loud roar.
Outside the city, there was a loud roar.
"What's going on?" Li Qifeng quickly got up and asked in panic.
"Sir, the Ming army is chasing us!" Li Qifeng's personal soldiers reported hurriedly.
"What? So fast? Go!"
Li Qifeng didn't bother to put on any clothes, just put on some clothes and ran out.
Li Qifeng was very regretful at this time. If he had expected that the Ming army would chase him so aggressively, he would not have rested here for a night and would have escaped overnight.
So they wouldn’t be caught up by the Ming army.
Li Qifeng hurriedly ran towards the east gate under the protection of his personal soldiers.
That place is farthest from the Ming army and also the easiest to escape from.
As soon as the group arrived at the east gate, a lieutenant guarding the city stopped them.
"The garrison commander has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Fuck your garrison!" Li Qifeng whipped the lieutenant with his horsewhip.
"I am the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Han Army of the Bordered Red Banner. If you dare to block my way, I will chop off your head. Open the door for me!"
The lieutenant colonel looked at his soldiers who had already drawn their swords and reluctantly opened the door.
"Walk!"
Li Qifeng took the lead and rushed out of the city.
As soon as they left the city, countless torches lit up outside the originally dark city.
"There's actually someone running this way, and the gate is open, saving me a round of artillery fire. Kill him!"
A captain looked at Li Qifeng who was rushing out and burst into laughter.
When Mu Jiansheng attacked Lin Tian, he deliberately chose the tactic of surrounding three sides and leaving one behind.
Focus on attacking the west, south, and north, and leave the east. This will reduce the defenders ' will to resist and make them feel that there is hope for escape. In this way, the enemy will not fight to the death, but will look for opportunities to escape.
But he did not completely give up the East Gate. He still selected a team of people to ambush at the East Gate. If they found any important enemies, they would kill them halfway.
At first, when he was assigned to hide at the East Gate, he was very reluctant, feeling that he had lost an opportunity to make meritorious service.
Unexpectedly, the blind cat caught a dead mouse and someone actually opened the city gate.
His gunners fired their thunder cannons.
"Hurry up!"
When Li Qifeng saw the flying thunder cannon, he was so scared that he turned around and wanted to leave.
But no matter how fast a person is, how can he compare to a gun?
Before he could turn around, the explosive pack was already above his head.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud explosion, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Li Qifeng, turned into minced meat on the ground.
The captain had no idea that he had killed the highest military and political commander of Guangdong and Guangxi with a single shot.
"Blow up the top of the city wall, march into the city, guard the gate, and don't let anyone escape!"
Qianhu followed the siege plan taught in the night school and began to carry out covering bombing on the city walls.
After confirming that there were no enemy troops on the city wall, he led his troops into the city, occupied the commanding heights, blocked the roads, and waited for the follow-up troops to enter.
To collect the payment.
Mu Jiansheng's army rushed into Lintian.
