Chapter 370 See who is more cruel

He did not dodge, and the steel knife cut from the right side of his body, leaving a deep scar, but he wrapped his left hand around Liu Zongmin's neck, barely lifted his weak right arm, and the steel knife wrapped around his hand cut Liu Zongmin's arm.

Before this could be finished, Nie Yang suddenly laughed and bit Liu Zongmin's neck.

Crazy, really crazy...

When did Liu Zongmin see such a fighting style? The steel knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his huge fist kept thrusting backwards, but Nie Yang just didn't let go.

At this time, Liu Zongmin was finally scared. He sifted the other party's arm, leaned hard, and shrank down, and rolled forward with the force. He touched the wound on his neck, and blood was pouring. Liu Zongmin slowly retreated, "Mad Dog..."

"Hehe...I said, I must kill you today..."

Nie Yang smiled, his smile full of hostility. He wanted to rush up and continue to bite, but found that he could only move his body slowly.

Too tired! Liu Zongmin was also afraid, so he continued to retreat. Soon, a group of people rushed in from the entrance of the alley. Liu Zongmin shouted, "Come here, chop this guy up for me..."

Liu Zongmin secretly swore in his heart that he would not let Nie Yang leave alive, but sometimes things would not go as expected. Just when it was so fatal, a group of people in the clothes rushed over from the other side and snatched Nie Yang away. I couldn't forget Nie Yang's eyes, and Liu Zongmin believed that this person would definitely become a disaster in the future. Unfortunately, the war in the Tao family camp was in chaos, and it was not easy to find Nie Yang again.

After three hours of fierce battle, Taojiaying was finally captured by the peasant army. However, Liu Zongmin and Zonglin could not feel any joy. In this small Taojiaying village, the peasant army suffered a lot of losses. What the two of them didn't know was that because they did not take down Taojiaying village in time, they also added some unknown points to the subsequent wars.

Wanqiu Town, Jin Shifeng leaned against the thick walls, no longer had the elegance of a general. His armor was a little torn and his body was dirty. The attacks of the bandits became more and more fierce. It seemed that the bandits knew that time was tight and wanted to take down Wanqiu Town as soon as possible.

Qiao Beiming treated the wound on his body, looking a little tired. At this point, he was really tired, and the fatigue in his heart was even more unbearable. Now the Beijing army has suffered heavy losses, and it is only possible to barely defend Wanqiu Town. The territory outside has long been taken away by the bandits. Qiao Beiming felt that it was already at its limit. As long as the bandits increase their offensive strength a little, the line of defense that they defended in their hearts might be broken. Sitting next to Jin Shifeng, he took a water bag and poured it into his mouth. The water in the bag had already been cold, and Qiao Beiming still drank happily, as if it was a sip of strong old wine, warming his heart, "Old Jin, maybe we really have to explain it here."

Jin Shifeng reached out and pressed Qiao Beiming's shoulder, and his eyes became more serious, "Old Qiao, don't be discouraged. As long as we hold on, there is still hope for everything. At least now, the pressure in the north is very small. It seems that Nie Yang did not disappoint us... As long as the bandits cannot put pressure on us from three directions at the same time, we can stay in Wanqiu Town for a day or two..."

"Is that?" Qiao Beiming shook his head bitterly, and said, "Maybe, it's possible, but in the end, the casualties will be very heavy. To be honest, Qiao Beiming is different from Jin Shifeng. He is a native of the southerner, but Jin Shifeng was transferred from Xuanhua Mansion. Jin Shifeng has experienced many fierce battles, but Qiao Beiming can't do it. In the past two days, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces that kept falling in front of him, he felt that he was going crazy.

While speaking, the rumbling drums sounded again, and the peasant army in the distance rushed over in a compact formation. A strong man in the crowd roared loudly, with a look of hostility. A gust of wind, Wang Yan, did this guy lead his troops to fight? It seems that the bandits have really lost patience.

"Report... Report... Two generals, there are a large number of soldiers and horses moving closer to Wanqiu Town in the southeast. Look at the costumes, they should be the men of the bandit Li Zicheng..." The scout's voice was like a sharp blade, piercing into Qiao Beiming's chest. Qiao Beiming only felt his legs weak and almost fell to the ground.

Li Zicheng? It seems that he has finally retreated from Yuhang, but Li Zicheng's attack on Wanqiu Town is not in the plan. Now he has been reluctant to deal with it. If Li Zicheng's troops are added, there is still a way out? Qiao Beiming's face is pale, and the last trace of courage in his heart is ruthlessly dispersed. The scout's voice is not small, and the words just now fall into everyone's ears, and the consequences can be imagined.

Many people, like Qiao Beiming, had no blood on their faces and looked desperate in their eyes. Li Zicheng's soldiers are the ones that are known as the most capable of fighting under Gao Yingxiang. Xu Beichuan, Li Yangchun, and Wang Yan, have not yet gotten the roots of Li Zicheng. It is already very difficult, and there is no hope to deal with such a powerful bandit soldier.

Jin Shifeng glared at the scout hatred, but it was too late to blame him now. In this situation, the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp would collapse on their own without waiting for Li Zicheng to come.

"What kind of expression do you have? I'll cheer up my spirits. Since Li Zicheng can come, the Xuanfu army of the Iron Supervisor must be following not far behind. We just need to persist until the Supervisor leads troops to arrive, and there may not be no chance of winning this battle!"

Jin Shifeng pulled Qiao Beiming up and roared loudly. Qiao Beiming was still a little confused and shook his head gently, "You are right, but the question is how can we persist until the commander leads the troops to come... Look at the situation in front of you... The brothers are all very tired, with great casualties, but the bandits are getting more and more courageous. Now, with Li Zicheng, it's difficult..."

"Old Qiao, wake me up." Jin Shifeng patted Qiao Beiming's cheek vigorously and shouted: "We still have a chance. The pressure in the north is not great now. We can give up Wanqiu Town and break out of the siege from the north. To this extent, the bandits will not let us go easily, and will inevitably chase us. We just need to retreat slowly. I believe that the supervisor will find a way to meet with us after getting the news... and withdraw from the north. This is our opportunity..."

Jin Shifeng didn't give Qiao Beiming time to think. He pushed Qiao Beiming, pulled out his sword, and shouted loudly: "Kai Shiying... Zuotunying... Stay here to resist us for a while, and the rest of them retreated from the north with General Qiao..."

"Old Jin...you..." Qiao Beiming looked at Jin Shifeng's blurry back and was even more swallowed. If he was still hesitant at this time, would he still be a man? He took a long breath and roared loudly: "Why are you still standing there? Go and notify the generals and schoolmen of various departments and break through from the north in half an hour..."

On the south of Wanqiu Town, thousands of soldiers and horses were strangled together on the long official road. Although the resistance of the officers and soldiers was still very fierce, Wang Yan still felt some differences, as if the number of people was much smaller. Looking at the smoke in the town, his eyes narrowed. They were about to run. After reacting, Wang Yan ordered all the troops to attack with all their might, and even urged: "Brothers, work harder, the officers and soldiers are going to escape, kill... Kill the officers and soldiers, and the King of Breaking will be rewarded..."

"Hoho... Kill" the leaders of the peasant army were cheered up, and they were willing to miss this good opportunity to make contributions. How could these officers and soldiers escape easily when fighting in Wanqiu Town for two days?

Finally, the peasant army broke into Wanqiu Town from the west. Everything was as Wang Yan thought. The remaining main force of the Beijing camp had retreated from the north. Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin, if he could capture the Tao family camp in time and block the northern part of Wanqiu Town, why would this happen? As for why the officers and soldiers didn't flee to the east, it's easy to explain. Going eastward, wouldn't it be bumped into Li Zicheng's arms?

Jin Shifeng didn't know how he escaped from Wanqiu Town. After a fierce battle, he was dizzy and even the direction was blurred. At this time, Wang Yan and others finally understood that the officers and soldiers of Wanqiu Town would break through at this time because Li Zicheng's army came.

Wang Yanshi has a lot of complaints about Li Zicheng. He worked hard to fight with people for two or three days, and finally Li Zicheng came to pick up the bargain and attack? How could he rob Li Zicheng of Li Zicheng? What's more, there is a well-trained cavalry under his command. Although the Wanqiu Town area is not conducive to cavalry mobility, no matter how bad the cavalry is, it is still four legs, which is always faster than two legs.

After working hard to make wedding dresses for others, Wang Yan was so slap. So he said angrily: "If you chase after me, you must not let Li Zicheng's people come to us."

Sometimes things went against my wishes. Wang Yan had already worked very hard, but in the end he could not compare to Li Zicheng's new force. Li Zicheng came from the east and just turned north to cut off the retreat of the Jingying. Wang Yan could only follow the Jingying's butt. However, Li Zicheng was different from Wang Yan, so he had no intention of attacking.

"Brothers, please restrain your subordinates. This time our army will fight quickly. No matter what the outcome of the war is, we must leave the battle before noon tomorrow and retreat to Yu Qian." Li Zicheng said seriously. The unintentional momentum made people dare not refute.

With Li Zicheng's instructions, Lu Weiliang, Li Yan and others led their troops to Batu Town in the north. Batu Town was thirty miles northeast of Wanqiu Town. If the troops in the Jing camp wanted to evacuate safely, they would have to pass near Batu Town. Since Li Zicheng had sent troops to Batu Town before the Jing camp evacuated Wanqiu Town, it was natural that he stopped Qiao Beiming's troops in Batu Town.

Jin Shifeng's life and death are uncertain, and all his courage is pressing on Qiao Beiming. At this time, Qiao Beiming has no other ideas. Now there is a road in Huashan. You either break through it or be trapped by these bandits in Batu Town.

On the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Lantern Festival should have been a good day for fireworks and to enjoy the moon and recite poems, but in western Zhejiang, there was constant smoke and war. The soldiers of the Beijing camp who had just fled Wanqiu Town had not been resting for a long time, and they met Lu Weiliang and Li Yan from Batu Town and others. Although there were not many bandits in Batu Town, the soldiers of the Beijing camp who were exhausted both physically and mentally were tantamount to encountering a roadblock.

At that time, Zheng Guosong took the lead in launching an attack. Li Yan, Xu Beichuan and others also went out to Batu Town to encircle the flanks. For the remaining soldiers of the Beijing camp of more than 5,000 people, the only thing they could do was to try their best to resist and to rest assured.

There seemed to be no suspense in the battle between Batu Town, and it was just a matter of time. However, Wang Yan was not happy, so he rushed forward, but was still snatched by Li Zicheng's men.

Xishui Town, Zhejiang, when Batu Town was in full swing, Tie Mo also led his 30,000 elite soldiers to Xishui Town. Xishui Town is not far from Batu Town, and the matter has been reported there. Tie Mo looked serious, and Xu Zhixin was even more anxious.

"Supervisor, why are you hesitating? Please send troops to Batu Town quickly!" How could Xu Zhixin not be anxious? These soldiers in the Beijing camp are all the family assets of the Duke of Wei's Mansion. It would be very difficult to recruit them if they were defeated.

Now that the six ministries have seized power, the various places are blocked. It is not easy to recruit soldiers again? It can be said that the losses of these families are less, and it is still difficult to supplement. The Xu family is supported by these soldiers. Without these soldiers, wouldn’t they become idle nobles like the Zhang family of the British Duke of Zhili in Northern Zhili?

Tie Mo didn't say anything, Xu Zhixin couldn't help but feel anxious, and her tone increased a little, "Supervisor, don't forget that these 30,000 Jingying brothers were struggling to stay in Wanqiu Town for your plan. Now, do you want to die and not save them?"

Wang Zuoguai quickly advised: "Miss, don't worry, my supervisor doesn't mean that!"

Tie Mo nodded and looked at Xu Zhixin with a serious expression, "Miss, think about it, even if we try our best to arrive at Batu Town now, how many people can we save? You must know that although it is not far away, it will take at least an hour to get from here to Batu Town..."

"Then..." Xu Zhixin bit her pink lips. She also knew that Tie Mo was talking about the truth. In an hour, under the current situation of war, when she arrived, the daylily might be cold. However, psychologically, she really couldn't accept Tie Mo's expression and tone of speaking.

"Hmph, we can't be left with the noses hanging by the bandits. I think Li Zicheng is also looking forward to us going to Batu Town to eat dust. Since that's the case, we won't rush to Batu Town. Let's beat Li Zicheng first!"

After saying that, Tie Mo sang: "Zhou Dingshan, Orge obeyed the orders and gathered your moving cavalry. I don't care what you use. After half an hour, I swelled Li Zicheng's butt..."

"Here!"

Tiemo's idea is very simple, don't rush to go to Batu Town. Didn't you, Li Zicheng, want to take advantage of your uneven main forces and attack your Li Zifeng Department. You, Li Zicheng, have a strong mind to the Beijing camp near Thanos, and I will severely damage your Li Zifeng Department. Let's see who is more cruel.
