Originally, Li could have set off with the soldiers and horses of the old battalion too early. But in order to collect as much yellow and white as possible before leaving, the people of these old camps took everything they could with their sights. There are even some young and beautiful women on horseback!

The actions of these bandits greatly delayed the departure time of the army and gave the officers and soldiers a chance to catch up. And Li Guo is not easy to stop. For the peasant army, the soldiers and horses of the old battalion are the real core elite. These people are not working hard to follow you, they are all trying to live better!

In more than a day, Li Guo took thousands of men and horses under his command to walk dozens of miles and came to the side of this unknown river. They're all cavalry!

At this moment, all the people in the old camp had dismounted, carefully leading the horses that were overwhelmed by the weight and constantly snorting across the ice. If you are not careful, you will fall on a horse's stomach, and the yellow and white things and scattered silk and satin will be scattered all over the ground. If you want to clean up, it's troublesome.

Looking at the chaotic river, Li Guo's face turned pale!

News had already come from Datong Mansion not long ago. The official army with the terrifying speed of the army had quickly approached the vicinity of Datong Mansion. It won't be long before they enter Datong Mansion.

And these old battalion soldiers under Li Guo are carrying too many goods and women. A marching army of all experienced cavalrymen was not as fast as the walking foot soldiers of the officers and soldiers! This made Li Guo's heart very anxious.

You know, the official army also has a large number of cavalry! If this is caught up by the cavalry group of the official army, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable!

Thinking about Cao Wenzhao back then, the three thousand Guanning iron cavalry under the command of King Cao Yan almost drove the peasant army in the entire Shanxi area to the sky and the ground! How many well-known heroes died under the sword of King Cao Yan.

Later, the peasant army, who was still forced to be anxious, put aside their prejudices and fought an extremely beautiful ambush battle, and only after countless casualties did they kill the cannibalistic King Cao Yan!

The terrifying combat effectiveness of the elite cavalry of the official army is still fresh in Li Guo's memory until this moment. It was a bloody experience. Just by looking at the terrifying marching speed of the officers and troops in front of him, you can know that this must be a strong army that is not inferior to the command of King Cao Yan!

Things in this world. Sometimes it's really what you're afraid of, and it's coming!

When less than half of the troops of the old battalion soldiers under Li Guo crossed the river, the sentry scouts in the rear flew to report, and a large number of cavalry of the officers and soldiers chased after them!

"Fuck it!" After the pale-faced Li Guo scolded. I didn't think about why the officers and soldiers came so quickly. Turning the horse's head, he hurriedly packed up his troops and horses to prepare for battle.

At this time, nearly half of Li Guo's men and horses had not crossed the river. He was reluctant to give up these veterans! These people are the core of all peasant armies. As long as these old battalion soldiers are still around, it won't be long before they can pull out a large army again! If these veterans are lost, it is useless to have more displaced people.

The officers and soldiers came quickly, and before they could wait for the old battalion soldiers who were scolding and muttering why they had not been able to cross the river in time, they had set up a battle formation. In the distance, on the desolate hill, the figure of the official and military sentry had already appeared.

A moment later, a cavalry brigade with a striking red tassel fluttering on its heads, and a thick cloak appeared in front of the old fritters, over the low hill.

"Hiss~~~" Li Guo's eyes widened. His face gasped in disbelief. The number of these officers and cavalry who appeared in front of him was far greater than he could have imagined. At a cursory glance, there were at least a few thousand! And just by looking at the amazing momentum, you know that these cavalry are all elite divisions, and they will definitely not be worse than the elite cavalry under King Cao Yan back then!

After the officers and soldiers who adjusted their horsepower descended from the low hill, they quickly lined up in an open area about a few hundred paces away from the old battalion soldiers. Feed your horses with water and food, check your equipment, and wait for the time to strike.

With the roar of musket fire on both flanks, the sentinels of the officers and soldiers quickly dispersed the sentries sent by Li Guo to reconnoiter and cover the battlefield. Not surprisingly, it was a completely one-sided battle loss ratio. Muskets against knives, officers and soldiers with high morale against bandit groups who were busy fleeing for their lives. There is no suspense at all.

The power of thousands of elite cavalry gathered together is definitely not comparable to the equal number of infantry. The entire queue stretched endlessly, with people and horses, and the constantly swaying red tassels almost formed a sea of red! Under the bright sun, it looks so radiant.

Li Guo was neither stupid nor stupid, of course, he could see that the fierce cavalry unit of the official army in front of him was not something that his subordinates could deal with who did not dare to fight a tough battle. Even when his command is full, he is no match for these elite officers and soldiers. What's more, now the whole army is divided into two parts by the frozen river.

Li Guo also thought about running away with the men and horses who had already crossed the river, but he painfully found that he was reluctant to let go of the men and horses on this side of the riverbank, this is the elite of more than 2,000 people! He was reluctant!

However, if it was forced to confront the Ming army, there was almost no chance of victory. Weighing the pros and cons is also inconclusive. Li Guo fell into a complete entanglement.

Soon, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side blew a low and majestic horn, and Li Guo didn't have to worry about it anymore. The officers and troops on the opposite side have already begun to take the initiative to attack!

Cavalry charging into battle is usually done by heavy cavalry. Because of its characteristics, light cavalry generally exerts its own mobility, using bows and arrows and other weapons at long distances to demoralize the enemy, tear the formation, and force the enemy to break up and then take advantage of the situation to cover the kill.

The dragoons fought in a similar way, except that they used muskets with longer range and greater power.

"Fuck." Looking at the impressive cavalry queue of officers and soldiers on the opposite side, slowly approaching. The majestic pressure of almost the essence of desire came to his face, and Li Guo clenched his fists tightly. Whispering and scolding.

Between the complicated changes in his gaze, Li Guo bit his lip hard. Take a deep breath. shouted at his guards, "Go and supervise the battle!" Rush over and stir together. Who dares to retreat and be beheaded on the spot! ”

When the outpost was in contact with the battle before, Li Guo, who was experienced in the battle formation, had already seen that the muskets used by the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were extremely powerful. If the officers and soldiers were allowed to constantly fly kites in the distance, then these people under their command would not have any chance of surviving at all. The only way is to rush over and fight with those officers and soldiers while they are loading gunpowder, so that there can be a glimmer of life.

The bandits of the old battalion scolded and prepared to attack. These people are all human spirits, when they can cheat and play tricks, and when they need to play with their lives, they know very well in their hearts. Now is the time for them to play with their lives. In front there is a smooth frozen river, on both sides are hills and hills with complex terrain, and behind are the officers and troops of the brigade. If they don't defeat the officers and troops chasing after them, they will definitely have no way to survive!

"Beat the drums!" Li Guo gave an order, and the passionate drums rumbled. Li Guo rode on the war horse and shouted: "Only by killing the dogs, officers and soldiers can we have a way to live!" The first officer who wins the soldier will be promoted to one level, and the reward will be twenty taels of silver! The first one of the generals of the army, I will ask the king to give you a knighthood! Dare to retreat, shoot and kill! ”

"Boom~~~" Thousands of old battalion soldiers began to shout. For these people from poor backgrounds, they have enjoyed everything they can grab, eat, drink, and play all these years. If there is any pursuit, in addition to surviving, the only thing left is to be an official.

In the past, when I was a poor person, I was very envious of those majestic people in the government, and the breeze of those officials and lords made them very envious.

Although I have killed many people after the rebellion, I have also seen many people in the government who surrendered and begged. However, the deep feeling of inferiority in the heart still makes these people have a deep desire to be officials. Li Guo's promise can be regarded as impressing these people. The veteran battalion soldiers, who were fighting against the odds, were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The roar of the old battalion soldiers was earth-shattering. In the distance, the frightened beasts fled and the birds scattered. These people's eyes were blood-red, and they screamed and rushed towards the officers and soldiers opposite.

This group of people who have been living on the verge of life and death for a long time have long lost any moral concept in their hearts, all they need is survival and enjoyment.

Years of madness have left them as disregarding the lives and deaths of others as they are for their own lives, especially in the midst of the collective eruption of euphoria. They didn't feel fear for a while, and it seemed that everyone felt that they were the gods of war, urging the war horses under their crotches to accelerate and charge forward.

In contrast, the formation of the dragoons was very quiet and the array was tight. Although there were thousands of cavalry howling on the opposite side, the momentum was amazing. But these officers and soldiers who had experienced a bigger and more brutal scene did not have any panic, and the formation was very neat.

The officers and troops on both flanks began to disperse to the sides, pulling the formation apart to obtain a wider shooting angle. The cavalrymen pacified their horses, turned over and dismounted, and sent out infantry battle formations, their hands steadily preparing for shooting.

Li Guo's eyes changed, and he was very surprised that these officers and soldiers would choose to abandon their horses and fight on foot. But now that the charge has been launched, there is no possibility of stopping. Li Guo had no choice but to suppress his panicked mood in his heart, and his eyes looked straight ahead.

"Kill the officers and soldiers!" "Kill the officers and soldiers!!" The morale of the old battalion soldiers was boosted, and they leaned down and hugged the neck of the war horse. They know that by doing so, they reduce the chances of being hit by a gun. As long as they survive a few rounds of shooting, and wait until they rush into the ranks of the officers and soldiers, then they will win!

The earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded throughout the four fields, and the old battalion soldiers rushed to the opposite queue of officers and soldiers with blood-red eyes. They have no banner command, and it seems that their whole body has inexhaustible strength, and they are fighting completely with a bloody bravery! These people will not even know how terrible this officer army on the other side is! (To be continued)
