The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 316 Defeat
The road in Langya Ridge is wide and narrow, and if it is blocked in such a complex terrain, with the morale of the army at this time, although the combat power of the officers and soldiers in this place is really scum, in this case, my side will be attacked by both inside and outside. , the whole army was wiped out.

Under the slope, everyone hesitated for a moment.

Li Lei took a deep breath, finally made this very difficult decision, and said bitterly: "Then I have to inform the leaders, let them pay attention, and then start to retreat..."

That being said, no one has a bottom in their hearts.At this moment, a message came from a small soldier that the owner of the Langjiazhuang had led 500 people, rushed out of the village, and forced them over here.

In the chaos, not many people had the energy to notice that there was a big Kongming lantern flying from the forest on the side of Langya Ridge, and gradually drifting across the sky full of beacon smoke.

In Li Family Manor, Li Tianying was the first to discover that the rebels were suddenly on the verge of retreat.

Although Hao Jingcheng fought hard.Go to the wall to observe, etc., but I still don't understand the general situation of the army formation.

When Li Tianying suddenly came over and told him that the rebels seemed to be retreating, that he had just been assassinated, and that he was still in a state of extreme vigilance, his first reaction was to ask if it was a fraud.

"They won't be able to play such a deceit! With their current military spirit, even if they make such a gesture, they will immediately make the fake come true, and it will take less than a quarter of an hour. They will have to mess up themselves, and they can't stop it!" Li Tianying Smiling, he said to Hao Jingcheng that he understood the situation on the battlefield very clearly.

Hao Jingcheng was slightly taken aback, thinking that the rebels would persist for a while.

When he was about to speak, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the Kongming lantern floating in the sky outside the village, and he understood the possibility of the matter.

"It's really time." Hao Jingcheng laughed.

"What do you mean?" Li Tianying asked suspiciously.

Hao Jingcheng then explained: "They found out that the officers and soldiers from Haozhou had rushed over, they should be nearby, and they were scared out of their wits!"

After a pause, Hao Jingcheng said to Li Tianying: "Master Li, what should we do next?"

"Naturally, it's time to fight out!" Li Tianying said after hearing the news, his spirits were shaken.

"There are still soldiers?" Hao Jingcheng asked with some doubts.

"One or two thousand people can always come together!" Li Tianying said with some pride.He knew in his heart that at this moment, his Zhuangzi had already formed a deadly feud with the rebels. If he didn't take advantage of this moment to beat the dog in the water with a club and completely maim the rebels, wait until the rebels really reacted. time, it may be really dangerous,

This time, with the help of Hao Jingcheng, he finally got through the difficulties in front of him, but what if next time?The rebels have made a comeback, and I'm afraid I won't have such good luck on my side.

So even though it is indeed a bit difficult now, and the dealers are already having a hard time, Li Tianying decided to lead his troops to fight for a while at this time.

"Okay, since you have made such a decision, let's all prepare to shout!" Hao Jingcheng said to Li Tianying.

Hao Jingcheng excitedly began to organize those who played the trumpets.

After a while, they started shouting: "Li Lei has escaped!"

"Bacteria bought and escaped!"

"They're leaving you! Look! They're running—"

"The imperial court's reinforcements have arrived, you are finished!"

After the shouts sounded one after another, but everyone began to look back at the situation, and found that some people were indeed withdrawing troops and others were leaving, and the momentum of the rout took shape in an instant.

As Li Tianying said, under such circumstances, the trend of defeat cannot even be contained, and no one can explain to the soldiers that we are moving strategically instead of retreating.

But for people like Xi Maijun, there is no more choice. If you continue to hesitate, once the imperial army arrives, the entire army will be wiped out under the terrain of Langya Ridge.

I don't know when, countless people have started to shout and run, the louder the rout in the rear, the more urgent the front is, the team in front is running too fast, and the team has collapsed and disintegrated in an instant.

Some generals may still be able to command their confidantes, but even they can only let their confidants leave as soon as possible.The road in Dulonggang was already narrow, and people from behind rushed up, causing a stampede, and some people were squeezed into the water, ditches, and fields.

On the road to the west, the troops preparing to block Langjiazhuang collapsed at the first touch, and here, the two doors of Lijiazhuang also opened suddenly. The captives outside the village, and then began to chase and kill them.

The number of people here is no longer the measure of the outcome of the war. The three teams chased and killed all the way. After catching up with the rout, they killed like cutting melons and cutting vegetables. Roll over directly.

At this time, half of the time was passed, that is, around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the bright sky began to turn gorgeous. Amidst the beacon smoke, the sun was gradually approaching, and the mountains, forests, roads, and fields by the water were full of scenes of the rebel army's collapse.

Hao Jingcheng and the others also held crossbows and chased them all the way, shouting all kinds of rumors while leaving Zhuangzi. During the chase, they greeted a Zhuang Ding, pointed to the woods in the distance where the Kongming lanterns might be raised, and ordered: " Go over there quickly, in the woods, you let him send a message, telling him, no matter how many people from the imperial court's army come! The rebel army has already dispersed, let them stop this group of people ahead!"

The mobilization of the officers and soldiers in Haozhou this time was within his plan, but he was not so accurate. He never counted on these officers and soldiers at the beginning. After all, he still knew the combat power of this group of people. Li Gang's letter sent troops in the past, but he didn't have much hope. After all, this group of people was also a mob.

The murderer Zheng Xiu originally didn't plan to retreat, but Xi Maijun spoke harshly, vowing that the imperial army would come.

And during this process, he also knew the rumor that there was an insider in the rebel army. If he went his own way at this time, he would be difficult to be a human being if he would settle accounts with the rebel army in the future.

Although such rumors made him have to retreat immediately after receiving the order, but after joining Li Lei and others in a fork leading to the outside of the village, the murderer Zheng Xiu still expressed his thoughts to everyone.

"At this time, we are still able to fight. We just need to wait for the general to go back, and maybe we will be able to break the bank! The mere local champion has already been killed by us, so there is nothing to be afraid of!"

He wanted to fight back with his men who still had morale, but Xi Maijun and others would not allow him to do so.
