Bang bang bang!

Puff puff!

As the cavalry of the White Dragon Army returned to kill the return, they rushed to the front of a group of musket cavalry and opened fire, and a group of thief cavalry fell down one after another, disrupting the opponent's cavalry formation.

"Kill!"

Han Tong roared angrily, took the lead in rushing to the front, a horse lance stretched out forward, and poured into the chest of a thief cavalryman, Han Tong hurriedly let go of his hand, drew his saber and swung it to kill.

Because, Han Tong and Huo Gang separated two groups of cavalry, turned from left and right to turn back and kill, like a pair of big pincers, directly from the two wings of the thief cavalry.

At least from the perspective of the battlefield situation at this time, the number of people on the side of the Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion is indeed at a disadvantage, but at this time they occupy the initiative on the battlefield, and Han Tong's tactics are good.

The two cavalry led by Han Tong and Huo Gang slammed into the two wings of the thief cavalry, and one of them turned on their backs.

At this time, the flying feather cavalry was like a group of wild wolves that smelled fishy, and under the leadership of the head wolf, they put up a neat and orderly formation and slaughtered into the enemy group.

And Liu Tichun at this time, because he was at the forefront, he had already rushed over a long distance at this time.

He could only watch Han Tong and Huo Gang, each with a group of flying feather cavalry, into his team from both wings, and at this time he didn't come up with any good solutions for the time being.

"Quick, left and right separate."

Liu Tichun, who was helpless, could only drive the cavalry around him, scattered to the left and right, and killed the two cavalry of Han Tong and Huo Gang.

"Rush, don't stop!"

At this time, the two cavalry led by Han Tong and Huo Gang, after crashing into the thief cavalry team from both wings, they strictly implemented the orders that Han Tong had given before.

Keep rushing, keep the formation unscattered, like a long dragon, chisel through the enemy's formation, and after killing the enemy group, then turn back and kill again, and then chisel through the enemy formation.

This is a tactic that the White Dragon Army cavalry is very good at, that is, using the characteristics of its own cavalry galloping at high speed and tight formation, rushing forward vigorously to chisel through the enemy formation.

Cavalry can only be lethal if it gallops.

As long as they can break up the enemy's formation and divide them, the lone cavalry will only be slaughtered against the neatly formed cavalry.

Therefore, at this time, the two cavalry led by Han Tong and Huo Gang kept waving their sabers, slashing left and right, while ensuring that their speed would not slow down.

For a time, at the foot of this nameless mountain, nearly 10,000 horsemen started a fight.

Ten miles to the southwest, more than 4,000 White Dragon soldiers led by Li Zixiao were marching north.

"Report!"

At this time, a scout who galloped back from the north rushed all the way to Li Zixiao, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said: "General Qiyu, ten miles away in the northeast, I found a soldier of my Feiyu Battalion.

At this time, they were overtaken by a large force of bandit cavalry, and a battle broke out between the two sides. ”

After listening to the scout's report, Li Zixiao's heart was also sudden, and he quickly asked, "What?" The Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion was pursued by a large force of bandit cavalry? It's not good, so Qi Wei and they really fell for it. ”

At this time, Li Zixiao's face was gloomy, judging from the information reported by the scout, Qi Wei was probably really tricked.

Li Zicheng really set a trap, waiting for Qi Wei to come, and his and Xu Wei's worries came true.

"Did you only find the cavalry battalion? Who is the leader of the Flying Feather Battalion? Li Zixiao calmed himself down and continued to ask.

"General Qiyu, we only found the cavalry battalion, and they did not fight General Qi's handsome flag, but the 'Han' flag."

The scout reported truthfully.

"Korean flags? It's Han Tong, Qi Wei is not with Feiyu Camp, most of them are in danger. ”

Li Zixiao felt that things were not good, so he immediately ordered: "Order the whole army, enter a state of combat readiness, speed up the march, and rush to support Han Tong." ”

Ten miles away, for the White Dragon Army marching at high speed, even if it was a foot soldier, even if it was a mountain road, they still arrived quickly.

When Li Zixiao led people over a mountain that was not too high, he saw the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, where nearly 10,000 cavalry were fighting, and there was already a river of blood and bones everywhere.

At this time, this cavalry battle was far from over, but had just entered the climax, and the two sides were fighting in full swing, and they were both red-eyed.

Moreover, it is very peculiar that the number of cavalry was nearly three times that of the Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion, and Liu Tichun's Thief Cavalry, normally speaking, should have the upper hand and even eat the Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion in one go.

However, when Li Zixiao stood on the top of the hill and looked at the battlefield with a clairvoyant mirror, he was surprised to find that it was the Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion that occupied the upper hand on the battlefield at this time.

I have to say that the White Dragon Army's Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion, except in terms of numbers, is far less than the Thief Cavalry.

In other aspects, whether it is weapons and equipment, individual riding ability, team cooperation, or even tactical command, Liu Tichun's thief cavalry has completely exploded.

In this way, it is enough to make up for the disadvantage in the number of the cavalry battalion.

On the battlefield, numbers are not the decisive factor in absolute victory, just as a wolf cannot be defeated by ten sheep.

"General, it is indeed General Han who leads the Flying Feather Battalion, I didn't expect them to have the upper hand when there is such a disparity in strength.

According to the development of the battlefield situation at this time, Han Tong and the others will most likely win. ”

Zhao Zilong, who was on the side, stared at the battlefield below at this time, and was also excited, and said.

"Well, Han Tong is good, and the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion are also good." Li Zixiao nodded.

"General, let me take someone down to help General Han." At this time, Zhao Zilong, who was ignited with a fighting spirit, asked Li Zixiao to say goodbye.

"Okay, I'll give you five hundred warriors of the guard battalion, you take them down, help Han Tong, and defeat this thief cavalry."

Seeing that Zhao Zilong took the initiative to ask Ying, Li Zixiao also agreed.

You must know that Li Zixiao rushed to Ruzhou this time, and he was accompanied by the 600 guards led by Quartz, all of whom were elite cavalry.

"General Xie, Zilong has gone."

Thundered!

Zhao Zilong led five hundred guards and swooped down from the mountain, his eyes burst into light, and his heart was very excited, this was an opportunity for meritorious service.

"Drive, shoot!"

When Zhao Zilong led five hundred guards to rush down the mountain and approached the thief cavalry, Zhao Zilong shouted.

Bang bang bang!

There was a fierce gunfire, and a piece of thief cavalry fell in front, and Li Zixiao's escort cavalry was all equipped with two flintlock short guns, and the firepower was quite fierce.

Then, without slowing down, they entered the battlefield brandishing spears and sabers.

"Haha! Brothers, you see, it's the general's handsome banner, the general is here in person, don't embarrass Lao Tzu, don't embarrass you General Qi, kill the thief! ”

After Han Tong heard the gunshot, he turned his head to look and saw Zhao Zilong leading people to rush down the mountain.

As a result, he saw the red and golden 'Li' flag fluttering on the mountain, and there was a white dragon soaring sky flag next to it.

In the White Dragon Army, there is only one person who can use the red gold 'Li' character handsome flag and the white dragon Tengtian flag at the same time, and that is Li Zixiao.

When these two flags appear, it represents Li Zixiao's proximity.

At this time, when Han Tong's voice sounded, the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion who were still fighting also saw their comrades-in-arms who appeared on the mountain, as well as the two big flags.

"Kill the thief!"

In an instant, the morale of the soldiers of the Flying Feather Cavalry Battalion, who were still alive and continuing to fight, roared angrily, and rushed towards the enemy, all of them as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Damn, is Li Zixiao here in person?"

Liu Tichun looked at the figure of the white dragon sergeant who kept coming out on the mountain, and his eyes were gloomy.

He looked at Zhao Zilong, who was like a fierce tiger and led five hundred guards into the battlefield, and he was simply unstoppable, killing his cavalry and abandoning their armor.

Although Liu Tichun was very unwilling in his heart, he didn't expect that the entire seven thousand cavalry in his hands would be defeated like this.

"Retreat, order a retreat!" Liu Tichun shouted through gritted teeth.

Liu Tichun can also see that the situation on the battlefield at this time has been controlled by the White Dragon Army, and if the fight continues, there is no hope of victory at all.

And as Liu Tichun ordered the horn of retreat, the thief cavalry who had long been scattered and divided by Han Tong and Huo Gang turned around and ran away, and they couldn't fight anymore.

"Kill!"

Han Tong and Zhao Zilong wanted to take the cavalry and continue to chase and kill.

Peng Peng Peng!

At this time, the artillery erected on the hill ordered by Li Zixiao also fired, facing the way in which the thief cavalry was defeated.

Ahhh

Li Zixiao asked the artillery to fire explosive bombs, and the projectile iron sheets scattered after the explosion were extremely lethal to the surrounding thieves and cavalry who fled in a hurry.

"Don't chase too closely, be careful of being accidentally injured by our shells, just follow them."

Han Tong saw that the defeated and fleeing thief cavalry was being shelled, and immediately shouted loudly.

After two volleys, the thieves' cavalry fled far beyond the range of the White Dragons' artillery, and they stopped firing.

At this time, the cavalry led by Han Tong, Huo Gang and Zhao Zilong rushed forward at an accelerated pace, slashing and killing the thief cavalry who had been frightened and had no intention of fighting at all.

Especially Zhao Zilong's five hundred guards, because they joined the battlefield later, they still have plenty of horsepower, and they ran far faster than the cavalry under Han Tong and Huo Gang, and they were also faster than the thief cavalry.

Soon, he led people to catch up, and then there was a one-sided slaughter, leaving behind corpses all the way, and the war horses scattered without owners.

"Quartz, let the soldiers go down and clean up the battlefield."

Li Zixiao saw Han Tong and Zhao Zilong and they led people to chase them out, and did not order to stop them, on the one hand, he believed in Han Tong and Zhao Zilong.

On the other hand, Li Zixiao didn't believe that Li Zicheng's subordinates had the ability to pull up another cavalry in addition to this cavalry.

After Quartz heard Li Zixiao's order, he took the soldiers of the 'Iron Blood Battalion' down the mountain to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded.

Many ownerless war horses stood alone next to the masters who died in battle, and the more dead were of course the thief cavalry, but there were also many soldiers in the Flying Feather Battalion.

Moreover, cavalry battles like this would have very few casualties.

Because in battle, whether you are directly killed by the enemy with a weapon, or the war horse accidentally falls off the horse, the result is basically the same, you will die.

Even the person who fell from the horse was more miserable than being killed directly by the enemy with a weapon, because the former meant that he would be trampled to death by the countless hooves of the horses behind him.

And most of them were trampled to death by their comrades-in-arms, so when the white dragon soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, there were many corpses, because they were trampled repeatedly, they had already turned into bloody mud.

In this case, the White Dragon Sergeant will distinguish between the enemy and the enemy according to the armor of the deceased.

Half a day later, a group of cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion, who had long been stained red with blood, were the first to return under the leadership of Han Tong and Huo Gang.

"See the general, fortunately the general's support is timely, otherwise in this battle, we will lose more soldiers."

Han Tong rode to Li Zixiao, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and bowed, and Huo Gang followed closely behind.

"Get up, when the enemy is strong and I am weak, you can fight like this, it is already a good fight."

Li Zixiao stepped forward, helped Han Tong and Huo Gang, and said with a smile.

"Where's Zilong?"

"General Qiyu, Zilong is behind, and he will return soon, and we didn't chase him too far, because Li Zicheng's army is more than ten miles away in the northeast."

Han Tong saw Li Zixiao's worries, thought that Zhao Zilong was chasing too far, and explained.

"General." Soon, Zhao Zilong also brought people back, which made Li Zixiao completely relieved.

"Order, let the soldiers dismount, rest well, tell me, what is going on? Did Qi Wei have an accident? ”

Li Zixiao continued.

"Yes."

Han Tong responded, and asked the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion to dismount and rest, and he made a detailed report to Li Zixiao.

Soon, Han Tong sent Qi Wei to his troops, and when attacking Dagu Pass, he was surrounded by the army of thieves on all sides, and retreated south in a hurry, but in the end he was still a step late, and the general process of being surrounded in Wushi Mountain was recounted.

"Sure enough, Li Zicheng is a good means, no, this is most likely an idea that Niu Jinxing came up with." Li Zixiao's face was cold, and he said coldly.

Li Zixiao's face was gloomy, and he turned to Han Tong and asked, "Han Tong, are the thieves who surrounded Qi Wei this time all the horses under Li Zicheng?" ”

At this time, what Li Zixiao asked was what worried him the most.

If, this time surrounded Qi Wei, it was really more than 100,000 horses under Li Zicheng, then Qi Wei estimated that it would be really more than lucky, and even when Qi Wei was eliminated, Ruzhou City would not be able to be saved.

"No, according to the last information we received, Li Zicheng's army of nearly 100,000 has indeed just taken down Gong County and is storming the Tiger Pass.

The people who surrounded Qi Wei this time were at most Li Zicheng's subordinates, and there would definitely not be more than 50,000 people, otherwise we would not have almost escaped. ”

After Li Zixiao heard Han Tong's words, he was also greatly relieved, in this way, things may be able to turn around.

In fact, Li Zixiao didn't believe it in his heart, Li Zicheng would use all his men and horses, just to eliminate Qi Wei, it was simply a cannon to fight mosquitoes, and it was overkill.

At most, it is enough to leave tens of thousands of horses, so that Li Zicheng can not delay at both ends, after all, compared to eliminating Qi Wei, the army entering Kaifeng is the most important thing for Li Zicheng.
