Although the huge combat units of nearly 20,000 Gansu Army are not all cavalry, they also have high proportion of horse equipment. Among all the mountains in Shaanxi, they are regarded as a powerful force. To be honest, the individual combat quality of the Gansu Army is not inferior. If one fights one, the result of the Lu army and the Gansu Army is mostly 55. Ten people are enemies and ten people, and the outcome is almost the same. However, when it reaches the level of 100 people, the Gansu Army is not enough. The battle between ten people is purely the result of crushing.

Ma Zengshou was just an old officer who was not outstanding. In the era of Dong Wuxing, he was not a famous general. Compared with Reinstein and a Lu army officer who had received regular military education, the gap was unreasonable. The two sides of the battle had equal strength on paper, but the effective command of the troops was far different. The troops that Ma Zengshou could effectively command were only a few hundred personal soldiers and horses around him, and the other troops could only issue simple orders, followed by their own performance.

On the one hand, the Lu army can command the squad level, and on the other hand, they can only command the squad and deputy generals at the same time. The next step depends on their own performance. The battle between the two sides is equivalent to a healthy person competing with a hemiplegia patient. The ending can be seen without asking.

The gap in weapons and training also added a heavy weight to the balance. With less than an hour of fighting with the Lu army, the Gan army, which had a huge number of people, was already in a state of collapse. The cavalry that had lost command blindly activated the horses to gallop, and the Lu army was chasing and killing them in an orderly manner behind them and harvesting their heads.

The horse-riding infantry who dismounted the horse and fought were even worse. Their horses were in the hands of the horse stakes, and when they wanted to escape, they could no longer find their feet. They could only face the infantry bayonets or the cavalry's iron hooves in despair. The system had been completely disrupted. Although the troops were still huge, they could no longer respond. No one could find their superiors and fell into a state of fighting on their own.

The Gansu Army commander Ma Zengshou led his own cavalry to launch a counter-assault to the front line, trying to save the situation, but then disappeared under the wall-like charge of the Lu cavalry brigade.

The Gan army's supplies were transported by a large number of camels. The two battalions of infantry were responsible for guarding. They were far away from the battlefield and were not lacking in vigilance. However, the equipment and tactics of the special operations brigade were all that they had never faced. The sudden attack took the lead in defeating the officers, followed by the baptism of the bullets left by hand. When the troops were in chaos, the Lu army's Hu Xiaolin Division had already led the cavalry battalion to rush up.

The battle was without any suspense. Looking at the camel caravan that was sealed and turned into a camel city, Hu Xiaolin's eyes also shone. "So many camels, at least half a month's rations have come out!"

"Not only food, but also camels. After selling it, you can get military pay." Huo Qiu said, "I said to Master Hu, don't plan to eat alone in this business. My buddy will be the first to play the lead. You will be seven and I will be three."

"Don't be polite, do we need to divide our friends into each other? This little credit is nothing. There are so many Gan army, and they are afraid that they will not be able to kill them at will?"

Huo Qiu shook his head, "This little military achievements are nothing. If you follow the commander, you will not be too hungry for this little skill. We have to find a playful contribution to show our means!"

On the battlefield, the gunfire still did not stop, but the Gansu army was already in chaos, and the soldiers fled in scattered like flies. They did not lack the courage, and even dared to launch hand-to-hand attacks against the Lu army's platoon guns. However, when their officers were killed and the military flags were chopped over, the grassroots soldiers did not know how to fight. Without the command of the commander, they were like lost lambs, at a loss.

When facing the cavalry like a wall and the shiny sabre, these soldiers began to choose to escape rather than resist, and naturally they lost their threat.

The Lu army even used iron armored cavalry for the first time. This was originally used as a guard of etiquette and showed its majesty. The soldiers wore armor and charged in the face of the battle. The speed was slow and they could not be bulletproof, so they had no chance to use it against the regular army. However, against these Gansu army's defeated soldiers, the iron armored cavalry played a huge role. Seeing these armored monsters rushing over, a few infantry formations of the Gansu army collapsed instantly, and were immediately crushed by these armored soldiers. A large number of defeated soldiers raised their hands and knelt down to surrender.

At this time, Zhao Guanhou no longer cared about solving the remaining Gansu army, so he led Li Zongyun and Shangquan brigades to launch an attack on Tongguan County to rescue Feng Huanzhang's troops.

He had already made the worst plan. During his battle with the Gansu army, Feng's army had been eaten by Guo Jian. In this way, even though he destroyed the Ma Zengshou army, the actual combat could only be considered a draw. However, when his troops approached Tongguan, they could still hear the dense gunfire in the direction of the station, which was enough to prove that Feng's army was still fighting to the death and the war continued.

Ryanstein nodded, "Feng Huanzhang is an officer with tactical ability and affinity. He has his own combat style and his own subordinates. This time he persisted. In the days to come, his growth will become very fast. Maybe, in the days to come, he is qualified to be my opponent."

"At present, we are still friends, so we can't watch friendly troops being eaten by bandits. Everyone has them, speed up the marches and deal with Guo thieves!"

At this time, Feng Huanzhang had been compressed to the corner of the station. Two-thirds of the entire Tongguan Station were occupied by Guo's troops. The remaining one-third belonged to Feng's troops.

When the Gansu Army was fighting with the Lu Army, the Guo army wanted to go out of the city to respond and form a front-and-back attack with the Gansu Army. Unexpectedly, the Feng army carried out counter-assault on the Guo army, which firmly attracted the power of the Guo army, making it impossible for Guo Jian to withdraw his troops to support the Gansu Army. When he heard that the Gansu Army collapsed so quickly, he couldn't help but be glad, thanks to his energy to entangle with the Feng army, otherwise he would have been doomed with the Gansu Army now.

"The Gan army is over! The 20,000 Gan army will be finished in less than an hour. This is the strength of a truly strong army. We are still far from it. We almost forced a group of swordsmen to death." Feng Huanzhang looked at the time and felt a little moved. His clothes were covered in blood, mixed in the pile of soldiers, and he could not tell whether he was an officer or a soldier.

The Thirteen Grandpas under his subordinates surrounded him and persuaded him: "Don't think so. Without us, Guo Jian and Ma Zengshou would join forces, even if there were 40,000 people, they might win and lose."

"If you think so, you will never make progress. I put this sentence here. Even if Guo Jian and Ma Zengshou Jun meet today, it is still Zhao Sheng and Guo Lu. We should not take credit for ourselves, but we should think about how to train the combat effectiveness of the troops to the same as that of the Lu army, and can solve the Gan army for an hour."

He picked up the telescope and looked at the opposite side, "Guo Jian is probably going to retreat. If he doesn't retreat, I think he won't be able to retreat. Everyone has it. Come out with me and let Guo Jian know who I, Feng Huanzhang, are!"

Feng Jun, who had already been compressed to the corner, was looking for cover to avoid bullets from saving the king. Suddenly, a big man suddenly jumped out of the fortification and swayed with a flag. Then a team of soldiers rushed out from behind him, threw a row of bullets on the position of saving the king, and then a volley of guns.

"It's the brigade commander! It's the brigade commander who is shaking the flag!" A soldier jumped out of the bunker, raised his rifle and rushed towards the position of saving the king. Behind him, men jumped out one by one and followed him to kill him.

Death for the brigade chief! This is the enlightenment that the troops and soldiers of Feng Brigade have all had. Even if they fought fiercely for more than an hour and were exhausted, Feng Huanzhang personally shook the flag. Feng Brigade's soldiers suddenly felt that they were full of strength and rushed towards the position of saving the king regardless of the guns and bullets.

The sixth son of Quan Sheng on the opposite side was hesitating whether to continue attacking Feng Huanzhang or to think about retreating. The eldest brother did not order to retreat and it was not good to evacuate without authorization. But if he doesn't leave now, it will be too late to leave again.

At this moment, his team began to retreat. Before he could understand, Feng's troops had already rushed to the side of Quansheng Laoliu. He was so scared that he quickly dodged backwards and shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Bai Lang's Fu Han Army performed extremely well. He first fought a blocking attack outside the city, delaying the process of Li Zongyun's brigade returning to aid. Then the horse team of Zhensong Army took the initiative to attack and almost fought a successful counterattack. With the performance of these people, Guo Jian won a chance to contain the troops, but that's all they could do.

In less than an hour, the record of solving the 20,000 troops of the Gansu army was too amazing, which made the entire king save the country lose the courage to compete with the Lu army. Just talking about fighting with the other party was already scared and weak. The morale was lost and futile. Guo Jian could only spit on the ground, "Retreat! Go back to Qiangnan first, and then find a way!"

"Brother, Feng Huanzhang's coward came out. It's very evil. Lao Liu's people were entangled by him!" Xu Mazi, the subordinate of Guo Jian, ran to report the news with anxiety on his face. "My people go up, but I can't save Lao Liu. Feng Huanzhang is crazy and can't get rid of it!"

"Baoshi! If you can't do this, what else can you do? Forget it, I'll go in person and take the sixth brother back. Brother and second brother, you will lead your brothers to break through. Fourth Wa, come with me!"

The sun sets, but the moon has not risen. The layers of black clouds block the moonlight, and snowflakes fall in the howling cold wind. The first snow in Tongguan this winter was like the tears of God, falling on the top of the city, the roof, and more on the dead bodies.

The entire Tongguan County is like a hell of the forest. Several streets are already filled with dead bodies. Those who are lucky enough to die cannot be considered saved. In a sense, their suffering has just begun.

On the mountain path, more than a dozen men supported each other and walked staggeringly. They used to be agile and had extraordinary skills, but today, everyone has no food in their stomachs and is injured on their bodies. It is already quite difficult to walk this mountain road again.

A man cut a branch with a knife and handed it to a seriously injured man as a crutch. His fellow travelers were all wearing thin summer clothes. Only he wore a cotton jacket and a pair of official boots on his feet. He could tell at a glance that he was the leader. But the leader was in a very bad condition. He was stabbed twice and was shot in his leg. His flesh and blood were blurred, and it looked like he felt a chill on his spine.

"Sixth Master, please hold on for a little while. When you reach Qiangbai, you will be able to find the doctor..."

"Stop talking nonsense. Is there a doctor who can do it? As long as you don't die, you will continue to fight Brother Guo. If you die, then it will be the fate set in your previous life. No one can change it. Brothers, work harder, brothers will save us with their lives. We can't just die in a daze. Go back to Qiangbai and help Brother guard the city!"

Quansheng Lao Liu was seriously injured in the battle in Tongguan County, and his personal soldiers were all hung up. When the cold wind blew, the wounds were wood, and the blood flowed out became frozen, but his body became unstraight and his movements became slower and slower. On a windy and snowy night, there was no moonlight. Even those who were used to walking on mountain roads would take risks with their lives when walking.

A subordinate swallowed and wanted to touch some dry food, but he felt empty. When he broke through, the things on his body were almost discarded, and the dry food had long been lost.

"Sixth Master... can we... find a place to rest?"

Even if Quan Sheng Lao Liu was familiar with this mountain road, he would not be able to figure out the direction in this environment. He was bleeding a lot, his head was dizzy, and his limbs were weak. Walking like stepping on cotton, if he was not careful, he might roll into the mountain stream. I think that in this kind of weather, the government army would not chase him anymore, so he nodded.

"Look, find a place to rest... But with such a way of playing, I'm afraid no one dares to live in the surrounding villages. It's not easy to find someone."

If an army of tens of thousands is defeated, the defeated army will not be wiped out. If there are stars and mountains, forests and fields, you can always meet dispersed companions. If you are lucky enough, there will be hundreds of people gathering together. However, the old world like Quansheng Laoliu knows very well that the more you are, the more dangerous the team is.

The government has set up such a big battle, and it is definitely going to chase and kill the defeated army. Guo Jian's main force escaped from Tongguan and retreated to Qiangnan. The one who pursued the Lu army closely behind was the Lu army's cavalry. At this time, after the small troops along the way, after meeting with Guo Jian, they would probably stay to fight and block. If they refused to join, they would definitely be defeated by the officers and soldiers and use their heads to make contributions.

If there are few people, you can still hide yourself by relying on the terrain. If there are too many people, it is the way to die. Wherever you go, you will be caught by the officers and soldiers. This mountain road may not be too peaceful. It is impossible to say that there will be a pursuit team from the official army to come up at any time. If there are too many people, it will not be safe enough.

Furthermore, Ma Zengshou's army is a Tianfang soldier, and it is not the same as the swordsmen, and they are not a match for each other. If they are mixed together, they may have to fight in internal conflicts. Therefore, this group of people not only have to avoid officers and soldiers, but also have to avoid friendly forces that are both degraded people, and the situation is even more difficult.

Several people groped forward and walked for about half an hour. The nicknamed Bobbit finally discovered a small mountain village. The so-called village actually had only a dozen families, and the village was quiet and there was no movement. They knocked on the doors of several families, but there was no response, and they could not hear the barking of the dogs.

Lao Liu said, "Stop knocking, you must have run away. Find a house to go in, rest for a night before leaving."

There is no so-called wealthy family in this village, all of them have the same pattern. I just found a family, smashed the door, and put Quan Sheng Lao Liu on the bed. Someone took out a fire knife and flint from his body, lit the torch he carried on, and took a photo around, but saw that there was only a little rough furniture in the room and nothing else.

The people who went to the kitchen also came back in disappointment, with the rice jar empty and there was no grain of food. Because they were afraid of the officers and soldiers chasing them, everyone didn't even dare to raise the fire. They could only curl up together, gritted their teeth, and fight hunger and cold.
