There were no traitors who had no military discipline. In order to survive, they actually waved their weapons to the officers around them.

Several generals who wanted to stop everyone from retreating were killed by ordinary rebels with random swords. The rebel generals who were still scared also followed the trend and fled to the rear.

In a blink of an eye, there were only five thousand rebels in the west bank of the Yellow River, except for the corpses of the rebels who were killed by flowering bombs everywhere, there was not even a single living one.

Dozens of ferries rowed towards the west bank of the Yellow River like sharp arrows, without even being blocked at all, so they just moved to the shore.

The soldiers who were already a little dizzy on the ferry quickly boarded the dock and rushed towards the position where the trait had given up...

In this way, because of the emergence of the "gunboat" and mortars, the rebels who were almost passively beaten did not hold on for even half an hour, and gave the Yellow River defense line to the Tiger and Leopard Army for nothing...

Nearly 20,000 tiger and leopard troops completely crossed the Yellow River and climbed the land of Shaanxi.

Wei Zheng, who looked bold, knew that with the existing rebel forces in Shaanxi, it would never be possible to block the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Since that's the case, the huge Shaanxi is equivalent to being in control of it.

However, what Wei Zheng did not expect was that Dorgon, who was defeated outside Zuoyun City, was not willing to fail. With the high-speed maneuverability of the cavalry, he led the main force of Mongolian cavalry under his command to secretly enter Shaanxi a day ago, preparing to give Wei Zheng a sound attack. On the Loess Plateau, he used a large number of cavalry to kill and injure the Tiger and Leopard Army to have vitality.

As for the Mongolian cavalry that were still besieging outside Zuoyun City, there were only less than 10,000 left.

However, because of the large number of Mongolian herders, Wang Feng, who was in charge of Zuoyun County, was not clear about this situation.

A few days before entering Shaanxi, the battle situation was as expected by Wei Zheng. Under the attack of the powerful Tiger and Leopard Army, they rushed into Yulin and captured the entire northern Shaanxi.

Just when Wei Zheng moved his commander's tent to Yulin and began to divide his troops to capture various counties in Shaanxi, an accident happened.

Attacking southwest of Yulin. He was preparing to take down two musket battalions in Hengshan County, but suddenly lost their traces on the way to Hengshan County...

When the scouts found them on the way to Hengshan County, more than 800 musketeers from the two musketeers had all turned into corpses. Not only that, the flintlock muskets and grenades equipped by these soldiers disappeared completely.

In Wei Zheng's eyes, more than 800 musketeers could escape even if they encountered enemies several times their own in the field battlefield. However, these musketeers not only did not withdraw from the battlefield, but were also completely wiped out...

Faced with this result, Wei Zheng didn't believe it very much at the beginning.

It was not until he came to the battlefield in person and saw the bloody battlefield with his own eyes that he believed this fact.

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the constant anger that surged in his heart as much as possible, Wei Zheng asked Zhou Chenguang directly: "Do you know who did it..."

Zhou Chenguang shook his head and replied: "Master... the entire battlefield of battle was cleaned by the enemy, leaving no traces of battle. However, the last one will judge from the wounds of the soldiers who died in battle that it must be a cavalry that will destroy them..."

"Because, the fatal wounds on the soldiers were basically caused by sabers. And some horseshoe marks were found on many soldiers..."

"Caval..." Wei Zheng's brows quickly frowned.

Then, he analyzed thoughtfully: "According to the combat effectiveness of the two musket battalions, the enemy wants to destroy them. At least three times the cavalry...that is, the three thousand elite cavalry..."

"But, according to our commander, the limited five thousand cavalry in the hands of the rebels have been wiped out by us on the battlefield in Shanxi... In this case, they have so many cavalry... General Zhou, you are not wrong..."

Zhou Chenguang replied firmly: "Master, the general dares to guarantee that he has no mistakes in his judgment..."

"If the enemy attacking the musketeers was an infantryman, it would be no problem to block tens of thousands of enemies holding cold weapons with the combat power of 800 musketeers. Looking at the entire Shaanxi, there were no rebels of more than 10,000 people... "

Wei Zheng nodded and quickly fell into deep thought.

At this time, Zhao Yun, who had returned from the battlefield, suddenly spoke: "Master General... The last general just looked at the fatal wounds on the front line soldiers... One thing that last general can be sure is that these fatal wounds not only come from cavalry, but also from cavalry scimitars dedicated to the Tartars and Mongols... "

"If the enemy cavalry used the official army to curse, there must be many musketeers' heads being cut off directly. At least, these fatal wounds will be very large. However, not only did the musketeers whose heads were cut off on the battlefield, but also did not see too many fatal wounds with great trauma... "

"The last general fought with the Tartars and Mongolian cavalry, and was very aware of the fatal wounds caused by the cavalry scimitar..."

"So, the last general is sure that the cavalry that attacked the musketeers must have been equipped with the Mongols and Tartars' cavalry scimitars."

At this time, the doubt on Wei Zheng's face had been replaced by sudden realization.

After clenched his fists slammed into a tree beside him, he shouted: "The rebels have no cavalry in their hands, and all of this cavalry use Mongolian scimitars... Then this cavalry is either Mongolians or the Later Jin Tartars..."

"I really didn't expect that the Later Jin Tartars and the Mongols also came to Shaanxi. And as soon as they came, they gave me a warning to eat our two musket battalions, and seized all the equipment from the two musket battalions..."

Speaking of this, a strong murderous aura quickly emanated from Wei Zheng. He shouted at Zhou Chenguang: "General Zhou, I will give you two days to find the traces of this cavalry..."

"Since these Mongols and Tartars came to Shaanxi and killed so many of us, we have to make them pay the price to avenge the soldiers who died in battle..."

After entering Shaanxi for so long, as the commander of the scouts, I didn't know that there was such a Mongolian cavalry hidden in Shaanxi that could bring him fatal attacks at any time. This was originally my responsibility.

Therefore, facing Wei Zheng's order, Zhou Chenguang listened loudly without thinking.

"The last general shall receive the order... The scouts will find the traces of this cavalry within two days..."

Wei Zheng nodded, quickly turned his gaze to Zhao Yun and Zhou Yuhong, and continued to order: "Before the traces of these cavalrymen are found and their specific strength is clear, all soldiers who go out to the county town that is closest to him. Without the generals of this commander, no soldiers can leave the county town..."

Wei Zheng, who was full of murderous aura and thoughts, had just returned to Yulin. Another bad news came to Wei Zheng's ears again.

He headed southeast of Yulin and prepared to attack a musket battalion in Mizhi County, but was also brutally massacred and no one missed the net.

One day later, another cavalry battalion that was preparing to withdraw from the county town was wiped out on the loess plateau with ravines...

Without even touching the shadow of the enemy, he lost a musket regiment and a cavalry battalion...

Faced with this result, the angry expression and murderous aura on Wei Zheng's face became even stronger.

Almost every half an hour, I asked the scouts if there was any news coming back.

Just as the time stipulated by Wei Zheng was about to end, Zhou Chenguang, with a solemn expression on his face, finally appeared.

Before Wei Zheng could speak, he was panting, Zhou Chenguang knelt in front of Wei Zheng with one leg and apologized loudly: "The general... the last general has not completed the general, and he has also lost more than 200 scout brothers. Please punish him..."

Even the most elite scouts under his command were frustrated, not to mention the ordinary infantry commanded by Zhao Yun...

Looking at Zhou Chenguang kneeling in front of him, Wei Zheng quickly showed a shocked expression on his face.

However, shocked Gui Zhenjing, as the overlord of the side, he still calmed down as soon as possible. Then, he ordered in a heavy tone: "Get up, tell me what the specific situation in the past two days... How did the more than 200 scout brothers lose?"

"Yes, the Grandmaster..."

It turned out that after getting his general order, Zhou Chenguang dispersed more than a thousand scouts under his command.

In order to avoid the troops being too dispersed and being wiped out by enemy forces several times their own, these scattered scouts were also specially searched in teams at the request of Zhou Chenguang.

In Zhou Chenguang's eyes, with the combat effectiveness of the scout army, a scout team would not have the entire army destroyed even if they encountered a thousand Mongolian cavalry.

However, what Zhou Chenguang did not expect was that the Mongolian cavalry faced by these scouts was not thousands, but tens of thousands...

In this way, in less than two days of dispersed investigation, two scouts disappeared without a trace.

In this case, in order to avoid the scouts being defeated one by one again, Zhou Chenguang could only gather everyone together for search and reconnaissance.

You should know that on the Loess Plateau where the gullies are deep, tens of thousands of troops can be hidden in any gully.

Therefore, this purposeless search has no result in a waste of physical strength.

Three consecutive troops were wiped out, and the two scouts nowadays were wiped out in just three days. If you continue to develop according to this momentum, even if you have twice the amount of troops in your hands, you will be eaten and consumed by the enemy bit by bit...

Faced with this result and Zhou Chenguang's report, a picture immediately appeared in Wei Zheng's mind...

In the later War of Resistance Against Japan, our party was best at guerrilla warfare...

Yes, it's guerrilla warfare...

Only attack enemies with weaker strength than you, and then leave after you fight...

Through one small-scale annihilation battle after another, it was like cutting off the enemy, leaving only bones, and finally wiped out it in one fell swoop... (To be continued)
