. This time a multi-point attack was formed, and there would be Song troops in every alley, knocking Peng Yibin unconscious, only to feel that the grass and trees were all soldiers. In less than a quarter of an hour, Peng Yibin's men were scattered. However, Li Xianzhong was still worried about the war in the palace, so he left only 5,000 men and horses to continue to suppress the rebels, and the rest of the people and horses found their own way to rescue the palace.

After Li Quan's report, he couldn't help but be surprised, now even Ling Xiang's small team of Song troops can't be cleaned up, and when Li Xianzhong's army arrives, he will still be able to hold the enemy at that time, but he is afraid that even a small life will be lost in Jiankang City. As soon as he and Yang Miaozhen discussed, the two immediately decided to make a decision to withdraw from Jiankang City immediately, go outside first, and then make the next step.

So Li Quan immediately ordered the army to retreat, and he didn't have time to say hello to Shi Miyuan, so he withdrew with Yang Miaozhen and his men. Fortunately, Zhengyangmen was still guarded by his people, so the whole army withdrew from Jiankang very smoothly and fled to the west.

With Zong Tianxuan's order, the rebels seemed to have received an amnesty, like a falling tide, and they retreated backwards one after another, fighting for each other, pushing and instigating each other, for fear that they would be one step behind. Chen Yichao wanted to be the rebels behind him and immediately take over and attack the city, but he was blocked by the defeated rebels, and he couldn't go up for a while, so he had to stop temporarily, and try to drive the retreating army to both sides, and then go up to attack the city after the retreating army has retreated.

And at this moment, something that all the rebels did not expect actually happened, only to see the Xi'an Gate of the Imperial Palace suddenly opened, and a cavalry of the Song Army rushed out from the Xi'an Gate, chasing the retreating rebel rear team and killing it. The general at the head is none other than Tie Chenglin.

The dozens of cavalrymen who rushed to the front each carried a repeating crossbow, and before they could catch up with the rebels, they fired a row of crossbow arrows. At this time, the rebels were unprepared and were immediately shot into a large platoon, and the other soldiers who were left behind were even more afraid that they would also be used as arrow targets by the Song army, so they rushed forward, and the soldiers in front didn't know what was going on behind them, and they were pushed and pushed by the rebels behind, and the already chaotic formation was even more chaotic.

It turned out that Zhao Yueru had been waiting for this opportunity.

There were 600 cavalry in the Surprise Swallow army, and 100 of them were armored cavalry. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the Shocking Yan Army broke through the rebels' formation and entered the imperial city to rescue, the cavalry played a considerable role. But after entering the imperial city, the cavalry was useless, and all the cavalry were ordered to dismount and go up to the city wall to defend. However, these 600 war horses have become a big burden, not only need to be placed in a place, but also need a lot of forage to feed.

Therefore, someone like Zhao Chen proposed to simply kill all these horses and use them as rations. But Han Yanzhi considered that in case the palace was breached, horses were needed to protect the emperor's escape, and insisted on disagreeing, so he kept these war horses. However, because of the lack of food in the palace, nearly a hundred horses were killed.

But when Zhao Yueru woke up, she couldn't help but be overjoyed when she knew that there were still six hundred cavalry troops in the palace, of course she knew the role of cavalry, and when defending the city, she must not blindly defend it, and she must attack at the right time to strike at the momentum of the attacking army. If there is such a cavalry army, it will definitely be able to play a lot of unexpected roles. Therefore, it was immediately called for the cavalry to be reorganized.

Although Zhao Chen couldn't fully understand Zhao Yueru's approach, he obeyed her, so he immediately ordered the cavalry to be transferred from the soldiers defending the city, and the cavalry was restored, and more than 100 cavalry were selected from the male soldiers to supplement the cavalry. At the same time, he ordered the servants to go to the royal garden to cut the grass to protect the horses.

When the rebels attacked the city tonight, Zhao Yueru keenly found that although the rebels were under the pressure of the war team, the battle was very fierce, but they lacked discipline and the organization was very chaotic, so when the two armies alternated, there would definitely be chaos, and at that time, it was the opportunity for the Song army to pay if they used the impact of the cavalry to suddenly kill from the city and catch the rebels by surprise, maybe they could defeat the rebels in one fell swoop. Even if it doesn't work, it can reduce the pressure on the city defense. Therefore, she transferred Tie Chenglin, Han Zhaojing, and Zhang Wenzhu from the city defenders, and asked him to prepare to lead the cavalry to attack.

Sure enough, when the rebels were replaced, Zhao Yueru immediately ordered the cavalry to fight. Tie Chenglin, Han Zhaojing, and Zhang Wenzhu led the cavalry out of the imperial city, and immediately killed the rebels into chaos.

After the crossbow arrows were fired, Tie Chenglin led a hundred armored cavalry to rush up, chasing the rebels' rear team, slashing and killing, the knight on horseback held a spear, and with the impact of the war horse, he could get used to the rebel's body without any effort, and then he was knocked down by the war horse and trampled. The rebels were already short of armor, and they could withstand the onslaught of the cavalry, only to be killed on their backs and ambushed corpses.

Zhao Chen, who was watching the battle in the palace, saw it, and couldn't help but look fluttering, and said to Zhao Yueru: "Sure enough, the sixth sister is still smart, if it weren't for the sixth sister who insisted on reforming the cavalry the day before yesterday, there would be the current result." ”

Zhao Yueru smiled slightly and said: "Official, the infantry has the usage of infantry, the cavalry has the usage of cavalry, each has its own strengths, and Guan Jian can only be called for generals." When it comes to defending the city, it is natural that the infantry is stronger than the cavalry, but the art of war is cloudy: the defense must be fought. Therefore, when it is necessary to attack from the city and frustrate the enemy's spirit, it is a useful place for cavalry. ”

Zhao Chen also nodded, and said: "In my opinion, the sixth sister is now considered a general who can fight habitually, if it weren't for the inconvenience of the sixth sister this time, I'm afraid that the rebels would have been defeated long ago." ”

Zhao Yueru couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "The official family talks too much, in fact, it is only the rebels attacking the city tonight, they are too eager to succeed, and they want to attack the imperial city at once, but they are eager to do it quickly." If the rebels were not so eager to win, but fought steadily and gradually depleted our strength, I am afraid it would not be easy to deal with. And we don't have a chance. Therefore, it is not that I am good at using soldiers, but that the rebels have committed a taboo. Of course, it is also possible that the rebels had to do this because our reinforcements were coming. ”

Zhao Chen nodded again, stopped talking, and went to watch the battle again. In fact, when the two were talking, they were trying to avoid talking about Yang Yan. Because although they are now very suspicious of what Zong Tianxuan said, after all, Yang Yan's treasure knife "Wind Forest Volcano" is in Zong Tianxuan's hands, so they have to make people think about whether Yang Yan is alive or dead now, but now they all know that it is useless to think too much, so they all try to avoid talking about it.

At this time, on the battlefield outside the imperial city, the rebels had been killed by the Song army and retreated, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Song army, the rebels had to panic, and they did not care about retreating to both sides of the rear army, so they went straight to the middle of the rear army's array and retreated. All of a sudden, the corners of the rear army were a little loose.

Zong Tianxuan and Chen Yichao were both shocked, if it went on like this, if they didn't wait for the rear army to attack the city, they would be disrupted by the chaotic army of the front army, Zong Tianxuan hurriedly shouted and reprimanded: "Don't retreat, don't retreat, go back to fight, go back to fight." ”

But Zong Tianxuan shouted several times, but no one listened, the defeated army was still defeated and retreated, he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, raised his long sword, and said sharply: "If you don't stop, I'm welcome." However, at this time, the defeat of the former army has been achieved, and no matter how Zong Tianxuan drinks, it cannot be reversed. Zong Tianxuan couldn't help but be furious, and in a hurry, he waved his long sword and was about to kill a few defeated army Liwei, but Chen Yichao was a person who had been on the battlefield, and he knew in his heart that at this time, it would not work to use the method of killing people to establish power, so he hurriedly stopped Zong Tianxuan and said, "Mr. Zong, no." Now we must not kill people at will, or we will ......"

It's just that Zong Tianxuan is anxious in his heart, and he is willing to obey, so he pushed Chen Yichao away, waved his long sword, and beheaded three or four defeated soldiers in a row. When the other soldiers of the rebel overseer saw this, they all raised their broadswords and slashed at the defeated army that had retreated, and at once they cut down dozens of defeated soldiers in succession.

But this time is very different from the previous situation, because the defeated army is now retreating on all fronts, and there is still the Song army chasing behind, even if a few people in the middle want to turn around to face the Song army, but under this general trend, not one or two people can be controlled, so they can only retreat with the brigade.

Moreover, at this time, the front army and the rear army of the rebel army were connected with each other, and the overseer team in the rear army lost the space to use bows and arrows, and could only use broadswords and spears to stop the rout of the defeated army. But the defeated army has long been dissatisfied with the supervising team in their hearts, and now it was Zong Tianxuan who ordered the withdrawal of the army first, and it was not that they were deliberately defeated and retreated, and they were pursued by the Song army. Moreover, the defeated army also has weapons in their hands, and at the distance they can get, they will never just be beaten and not fight back.

I don't know who in the defeated army fought back first, the spear in his hand stabbed at the soldiers of the overseer team on the opposite side, the rebel didn't expect the rebels to fight back, he was defenseless for a while, his body was pierced by the spear, he screamed, and fell to the ground. And the defeated army, who was the first to fight back, was immediately slashed by two other large knives, and also fell to the ground, unable to stand up again. And the companion beside him didn't think about it, and immediately raised the weapon in his hand and beckoned to the other party.

At first, only a few defeated troops counterattacked, but the scope of the counterattack quickly spread throughout the army, and every defeated army raised their weapons and desperately slashed, stabbed, split, and pierced their comrades who were not long ago. The entire rebel army also immediately started a civil war.
