The sudden explosion made the entire battlefield instantly quiet, and both sides were shocked by the power of the explosion.

Liu Zongmin slapped his thigh fiercely, annoyed: "Grandma, why did you blow up at this time?" ”

His opponent, Liu Guozhu, who was experienced, quickly reacted, raised his saber excitedly, and shouted: "The cannon of the rogue has exploded, it is a good time to rush forward and kill, come with me!" ”

The Baoding cavalry followed Liu Guozhu through the fleeing refugees and rushed directly towards Liu Zongmin's main force.

The temporarily trained gunners of the Dashun army were obviously not comparable to the well-trained naval artillery of Qiong, who could withstand the rain of arrows from the Tartars "bayonets on the cannons". Without the threat of artillery, the Baoding cavalry, which had already been dispatched, roared in, and it seemed that it was about to approach Liu Zongmin's Chinese army.

Liu Zongmin spat and shouted, "It's really unlucky." Come on, give it to me, I don't believe that this Baoding officer and soldier have three heads and six arms! As he spoke, he turned over and got on his horse, commanding the left and right to step forward to resist.

Several groups of cavalry rushed out from both sides of the Chinese army and greeted Liu Guozhu and others. These cavalry are all elite old battalions of rogues, equivalent to the families of officers and generals, and they are the most worthy force to rely on.

Liu Guozhu is very sophisticated, and commands his subordinates to drive the displaced people in front as a means of attacking the opponent. The cannon fodder, who had lost their fighting spirit, rushed towards their own Chinese army under the coercion of the cavalry's sabers, and rushed the old battalion men and horses that came out to meet the enemy.

The rhythm of the charge of the cavalry of the old battalion was completely disrupted, and they hated itchy, brandished steel knives, and cut down on their own men mercilessly, and the homeless people fell to the ground one after another screaming. After some slashing, a passage was finally cleared.

But it was too late, and while they were killing their own people, Liu Guozhu and his people had already rushed up, and a large force of cavalry rushed into the formation like a whirlwind.

With the help of the momentum of the impact of the war horse, the Baoding cavalry gained the upper hand, and the cavalry of the old battalion met the enemy on the spot, and was rushed to retreat, and after a while, the losses were heavy.

Liu Zongmin saw that the momentum was not good, and hurriedly ordered: "The officers and soldiers are powerful, quickly withdraw, and let the people in the old battalion withdraw!" Then he turned the horse's head, turned and ran. When the rest of the subordinates saw the main general running away, they all ran away in a swarm.

The cavalry of the old battalion who got the signal to retreat was not stupid, they gave up on confronting the opponent, ran away separately on both sides, and chased in a circle in the direction of Liu Zongmin's retreat.

Liu Guozhu didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly, hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "The whole army is pursuing, and you must take the head of the leader of the thieves!" ”

A Qian general manager was a little worried and dissuaded: "Zhentai, poor Kou Mo chase." Let's just go deep with these thousands of cavalry, go deep alone, beware of fraud! ”

"It's okay, it's not fake." Liu Guozhu still insisted, "Taking advantage of the chaos to cover up the past and completely defeat this group of people is a great achievement." ”

The pursuit battle began, thousands of Baoding cavalry pursued tens of thousands of homeless people, like driving cattle and sheep, the homeless people who had lost the will to fight were allowed to be cut and killed, and they could not organize effective resistance at all, which strengthened Liu Guozhu's determination to pursue. It's just that the two-legged homeless people can't outrun the war horses, and they have made swords, but the number is too much, and many of the sabers of the Baoding cavalry have been cut to the edge.

I have to say that Liu Zongmin, who has been fighting with officers and soldiers all year round, has first-class ability to escape, and he cunningly used the army of displaced people as a cover, slowing down the speed of Liu Guozhu's pursuit, leading the remnants of the old battalion that caught up, and gradually widened the distance between him and the pursuing soldiers. On the way to escape, he also took the time to give an order, and let people rush to the front to report to Li Zicheng's army.

"Let King Chuang set up an ambush in front of him, just in case ......"

In a hurry, Liu Zongmin didn't care about being called a generalissimo, and the old title of King Chuang came out.

After running out of more than ten miles, he thought he had thrown off his opponent, but Liu Zongmin looked back and saw that the rear was full of dust, and those Baoding cavalry actually shook off the homeless people who blocked the road and chased after them.

"Grandma, what kind of medicine did you take to work so hard?" Liu Zongmin cursed a few words hatefully, and then instructed the left and right: "People die for money, birds die for food, officers and soldiers love money, throw some gold and silver to soften, I don't believe they will chase." ”

The soldiers untied the package on their backs, and a piece of official silver with white flowers rolled to the ground, scattered everywhere, which was extremely dazzling. This is also one of the killer tactics used by the rogues to deal with the officers and soldiers, throwing the looted gold and silver property on the ground, and the officers and soldiers who are pursuing will dismount and pick them up nine times out of ten, so that they can not only get rid of the pursuit, but also have the opportunity to come back and shoot the officers and soldiers by surprise.

The white flowers on the ground really attracted the attention of the pursuers. When the Baoding cavalry saw the silver, they knew that it was deliberately thrown by the rogue, but their hearts were still pounding, and their speed involuntarily slowed down. A few brave hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped, jumped off their horses and went to collect the silver.

Liu Guozhu rushed up in time, brandished a horsewhip to whip these subordinates who picked up silver, and scolded with hatred: "Don't you want money or death? This is all a trick of the rogues, if they all get off the horse and they kill the horse pistol, even if you get this silver, you will not be able to spend your life! ”

The people who were whipped were still a little unconvinced, and they looked up and were about to reason with Zhentai, but they found that the rogue cavalry in front of them also reined in their horses, as if they were watching the movement here, and some even took a few steps back impatiently, it seemed that as long as more people dismounted and picked up silver, they would really kill them.

Liu Guozhu raised his saber: "We are in full swing, it is the time to pursue, if you delay the fighter because of greed for small profits, or even win and lose, Lao Tzu will cut off your dog's head first!" ”

Under the persuasion and analysis of the general soldiers, these cavalrymen foolishly gave up the idea of making a small fortune, stuffed a few ingots of silver in their arms, and hurriedly jumped on their horses.

Seeing that the opponent was not fooled, Liu Zongmin and others had no choice but to continue to flee for their lives, while Liu Guozhu chased after him.

When they came to a small river that was close to drying up, Liu Zongmin's army of tens of thousands had broken down to just over a thousand cavalry, while the Baoding cavalry remained basically intact except for the few hundred killed in the shelling.

Just when Liu Guozhu led the people to chase him to the middle of the river, where the water was only over the horse's hooves, a cannon sounded, and countless figures appeared on the slopes on both sides of the river, shouting and surrounding Liu Guozhu and the others.

"Oops." Liu Guozhu's heart tightened, but he didn't expect that Liukou actually ambushed a large group of ambushes here, not only blocking the way ahead, but also cutting off the way of life in the rear. Could it be that these more than 10,000 people are broken up or feints? The cost is too big.
