The huge torrent of horsemen spread over the wilderness, and in front of them was a wide river of sand, but they did not stop, but rushed directly into it, and the sound of the water rattled, and they went ashore, and continued to gallop on the plain, with a soaring murderous aura. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There were about 5,000 of these cavalry, and they used yellow flags in front, and most of the soldiers wore yellow cotton armor, and white flags in the rear, and most of the soldiers wore blue cotton armor, but they were the flags and armor of the rear battalion and the standard battalion respectively.

After Li Zicheng established power in Xiangyang, he had several prefectures in Henan and Huguang, and most of them were rich Huguang places, and the increase in wealth and materials made the flag clothing standardized, at least the flag armor of the core five battalions could be guaranteed.

After customization, the flag and armor of each battalion are all in their true colors, but because Wuyun said, Li Zicheng claims to be the king of Shuide, his clothes are still blue, and the local official uniforms and hats are all blue, and the standard battalion represents the core of the core of the army, so although the flag is white and black, the armor is blue.

At this time, at the forefront of the torrent, there was a yellow and a black banner, with the words "Li" and "Yang" written on the flag, a young and brilliant general, a dignified general with a dark face.

Both of them are less than 30 years old, but they are Li Guo, the general of the post-battalion system, and Yang Shaofan, who was appointed as the general of the left majesty of the Zhongying after defecting.

After the defeat of Cao and Wang, as well as the defeat of the Ming army in Zhuxian Town, the new army of each battalion surrendered by the army was about 3,000, on this basis, Li Chuang formed a huge bird gun battalion, with a total of about 5,000 soldiers.

This bird battalion is under the direct jurisdiction of the standard battalion. Li Chuang had high hopes for this army, and the soldiers enjoyed it like the old battalion, and they all equipped them with horses, and their mobility was quite flexible.

This time, Li Guo and Yang Shaofan came all the way from Xiangyang, but they went to Suizhou to exterminate Xiao Yuan's camp, and by the way, they incorporated Yuan Shizhong's subordinates.

Li Zicheng has long been dissatisfied with Yuan Shizhong, after he fought Luo Rucai, as well as Ge, Zuo Wuying and others. It was passed on to Yuan Shizhong. They were invited to go south for joint operations. However, Yuan Shizhong ignored it, and took advantage of the fact that his main force was far away in the Huguang area, and he had eyebrows with the government, and he had the idea of recruiting peace.

After he sent Liu Zongwen, a Fugou Xusheng, to advise. He also killed Liu Zongwen. He attacked his own subordinates several times. The captives were sent to Kaifeng Mansion to offer prisoners, and they looked proud, thinking that they were far away in Huguang. The whip is not long, so why can't he?

At this time, the army won a great victory in Zhuxian Town, recruited many horse infantry officers and soldiers, and gathered the soldiers and horses of the Ge and Zuo battalions, and was even more invincible in Huguang, and the grain and soldiers were already 60,000 horsemen, and nearly 300,000 foot soldiers.

With such strength in his hands, how could Li Zicheng tolerate Yuan Shizhong's incendiary move? He decided to do it, he sent some soldiers and horses in the rear battalion, intending to break through the small Yuan camp in one fell swoop, and capture the thief in Yuan Shizhong and execute him to vent his hatred.

In order to increase the chances of victory, in addition to these 3,000 elite cavalry, he also sent Yang Shaofan, the general of the Bird Gun Battalion of the Standard Battalion, and asked him to lead 2,000 soldiers to follow Li Guo to fight.

They rode five thousand horses from Xiangyang and galloped all the way, and it was not very far from Suizhou at this time.

Not long after crossing the Shahe River, Li Guo ordered a little rest, he looked at the sky, and said: "There are still two hundred miles away from Suizhou, we will hurry up and arrive tomorrow...... That old thief Yuan didn't have the slightest defense, and we would definitely be able to take him by surprise and break him with one blow. ”

A cold look flashed in his eyes, although Li Guo was young, he was experienced in a hundred battles, nicknamed a tiger, extremely brave, and then he glanced at Yang Shaofan and said with concern: "Brother Yang is okay with the camp, this kind of long-distance travel, can the brothers of the camp hold up?" ”

Yang Shaofan looked at him and said with a smile: "It's okay, they are all good horses, they can't rush into battle, it's still no problem to hurry." ”

Li Guo said excitedly: "That's good, let's rest for a quarter of an hour, and then continue to hurry." ”

……

On the morning of the second day, Lao Hu was sleeping comfortably, and was suddenly woken up by Kong San, who came in in a hurry: "Get up, the old master is drumming, it seems that something big has happened." ”

"What's the matter?"

Lao Hu asked drunkenly, he turned aside, and wanted to continue sleeping, Yuan Shizhong was too enthusiastic last night, and he was also appointed as one of the fifteenth big masters of Xiao Yuan Ying, he was happy for a while, so he drank a few more glasses, and now he still feels a little groggy.

And his soldiers and horses were also arranged on the side of Xiaoyangzhuang outside the east gate, close to a river, and drinking water was still convenient. What will happen on the second day of defection? Do you want to pull out where and fight with what thieves? Lao Hu was dazed and wanted to sleep.

"It seems that I got some news of exploring horses, and a large number of soldiers and horses are coming towards Suizhou, with a fierce momentum and bad intentions. In particular, they had already crossed the Huiji River, not far from the Kang River, and Yuan Shizhong urgently sent him to accompany us and asked us to pull all the soldiers and horses to the Kang River......"

"What?"

Lao Hu was taken aback, and immediately fell asleep, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came to vote, there would be soldiers and horses...... Fortunately, if you have made a meritorious contribution in this battle, and you are ranked in Xiao Yuan's camp, you can raise it up.

At that moment, he got up with a grunt and shouted: "Immediately order all the soldiers and horses, and they will all go to battle with Master Hu and me!" ”

Kong San has always been very close to the training of soldiers, and the mountain patrol army got up early to practice, only the newly surrendered subordinates who shot through the sky are still a little tired, but the overall assembly is quite fast. At that moment, 2,000 soldiers and horses, under the leadership of Lao Hu and Kong San, quickly rushed to the side of the Kang River.

Along the way, I saw a chaotic group of soldiers and horses, converging on the River Cam from all over the place, all of them scolding and scolding, and the formation was completely empty, and many of them were yawning and asking each other what was going on.

Obviously, the major masters got the sudden order from the old master, and they were all confused, and they didn't know what was going on.

When I arrived at Nanguan, there were more people and horses converging, and a steady stream of people gathered from all sides, people called Ma neighing, just shouting the voice of the whole team, at this time Lao Hu also saw Yuan Shizhong, a very annoyed look, seeing Lao Hu, he nodded and scolded: "Seven grandsons, all come with the price." ”

More and more big masters have arrived, and when a rough man asked, it was the Seven Masters family, and he was also one of Yuan Shizhong's hearts, and he said, "Master Yuan, what's wrong." Are we in such a hurry to recruit soldiers? ”

Yuan Shizhong said hatefully: "The thieves have sent troops, and they want to kill the price." ”

When he said this, everyone's faces changed, even Lao Hu was in his heart, Li Zicheng was a behemoth in their hearts, but fortunately, Yuan Shizhong then said: "There are not many people and horses who come, only four or five thousand, and the price is not afraid of them." ”

These rogues have always had a keen aptitude for intelligence, and near the camp, the scouts will be scattered far from front to back. Yuan Shizhong also suddenly got the reward of Tanma. Only then did he urgently beat the drum to recruit troops, and recruited all the major masters to fight.

The major masters breathed a sigh of relief, and even Lao Hu was relieved, Xiao Yuanying was known as 100,000. Li Chuang couldn't come with four or five thousand people. Don't be afraid. It's a big deal to run farther away after this battle, Li Chuangyuan is in Huguang, what can he do to them?

At that moment, Lao Hu Gao shouted: "Kill the thief with a thousand knives." Dare to run to Suizhou...... Master Yuan, if you have any orders, just come down, and I will listen to the old master. ”

Yuan Shizhong was very happy: "Okay, the price is blessed and shared, and the difficulties are shared, kill the thieves, and Kenran will not treat the price brothers badly......"

At the moment they were mighty, and when they passed to the Kang River, a group of horsemen rushed to the front, and the more "infantry" with sticks, spears, dung forks, and iron rakes in the rear, the more and more people gathered, and it was indeed quite powerful.

Before rushing to the Kang River, I saw the smoke and dust on the horizon in front of me, and then saw the tide of horsemen spreading, and finally the sound of hooves was like thunder, the kind of power that hit the ground, so that countless people on the side of Xiao Yuanying changed......

Yuan Shizhong's face was cloudy, but he was also an old fighter, so he immediately said: "Each family immediately sent their own battalion of archers and firearms to the river to guard the mouth of the river, what about their horses?" ”

The families are in agreement, the horse team is fierce in the impact, and they have been blocked by the river with foot soldiers, consuming their strength and sharpness, how can their horse team be fierce?

At present, each family dispatched troops and sent people under their command who were good at shooting to the river, especially in Laoguancun, which was the key target of defense. The river is gentle, the slopes on both sides are gentle, and there is a stone bridge, and if the soldiers were to cross the river, they would definitely choose this side.

In fact, just as they thought, some sentry horses rushed to the rear of the large horse team, galloping along the other side of the Laoguancun River, and this was also the place where they chose to cross the river.

In the eyes of Lao Hu, Kong San and others, those horsemen who broke into the camp on the other side of the shore were all very exquisite, compared to Xiao Yuan's camp, there were many elites of their own subordinates, and the horse teams on both sides fought hard, and there would be no good results.

Yuan Shizhong rode on foot, and according to the terrain, he was indeed a person who could fight.

In the eyes of everyone's waiting, the people and horses who broke into the camp finally rushed to the other side of the Laoguancun River, not far away, and saw a piece of people and horses spewing white gas, and flags fluttering, which made people tremble and chill when they saw it.

Seeing that this side was armed, intending to confront each other across the river, they were not in a hurry, and they saw that some people in blue armor dismounted and lined up, and they were all firecrackers, which made Xiao Yuanying's side look shocked.

……

At this time, on the side of Laoguancun, there were about 2,000 archers from each family of the Xiaoyuan battalion such as archers, three-eyed guns, and bird gunners gathered by the river, and then behind them, there were groups of spears, swords and shields, intending to rush across the river to fight hand-to-hand.

Then there are the horse teams of the Xiao Yuan camp, gathered together, and on both sides of the rear, there are a mess of hungry people, there are many people, and there are constantly people who have received the news and are rushing to converge in this direction.

Kong San led the mountain patrol army bird gun team, the bow team also gathered in the archery crowd, their sword and shield spearmen, not far behind their own archers, Kong San frowned and looked at the opposite bank, the opposite side gathered in a line of camping firearms, always gave him a strange and familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Soon, he saw that the soldiers on the other side were lined up in four neat columns, each of which numbered about five hundred men, and when he heard the order, he immediately saw them stepping on the drums, and they seemed to be coming like a wall.

That kind of order is forbidden, that kind of uniformity makes people look frightening, Kong San is even more surprised, when did the thief have such an elite gun? And their guns......

When he realized it, everyone in Xiao Yuanying here was already dumbfounded, and many people swallowed their saliva, only holding their weapons nervously. This Kang River is actually not wide, less than a hundred paces, this side of the black pressure crowd crowd, but no one feels safe, everyone is frightened.

Soon the intruder soldiers on the opposite side walked to the shore, seeing that they were neatly pressing, the people here couldn't help it anymore, and before they could wait for the order of the Chinese army, there was a bang, and some people couldn't help but open the gun.

In Yuan Shizhong's angry scolding, he listened to the firearms, and the birds and three-eyed guns on this side shot out all their guns in an ancient brain.

In the midst of the white smoke, there was the sound of arrows whizzing, and the archers on this side couldn't help but shoot their arrows. Infected by them, it was the bird and arrow team of the mountain patrol army, and they were also desperately shooting arrows, and even Kong San was powerless to stop them.

Finally, when everything had stopped on this side, and then the smoke had cleared, the intruders were still lined up on the opposite shore, and there were very few people who fell to the ground, and the good fighting on this side did not seem to have any effect on them.

Then Kong San heard a sharp swan sound on the other side, and he shouted: "Get down!" ”

He swooped down from his horse, and heard a deafening sound of guns on the other side, and the dense flames on that side were innumerable, and thick white smoke rose from the opposite bank, and in the crowd on this side, countless blood splashed up, and a large wave of archers fell screaming.

"Horn!"

After a very short time, there was a sharp sound of swans on the opposite bank, and the sound of neat and sudden guns, and with the sound of guns, a large piece fell on this side, and the cry was earth-shattering, and the power of the firearms on the east road made them suffer from the pain after being shot.

Even the archers of the mountain patrol army who were caught off guard rolled a lot, and a few of them fell at Kong San's feet, screaming miserably, and the blood they shed even splashed on Kong San's face.

"Get down!"

There was another sharp swan sound on the other side, and Kong San fell to the ground, screaming hoarsely.

The soldiers of the mountain patrol army in front of him, some of them lay down, some screamed, and couldn't help but flee backwards, such a ferocious fire strike, they had never heard of it before, and many of them were beaten to the ground in a short period of time after the opposite row.

It was the deafening sound of the platoon again, and the soldiers in the third row pulled the board machine at the chaotic crowd on the opposite bank like headless flies, and a large stream of gunpowder smoke erupted from their mouths, and many people were knocked down by the firecrackers on this side when they fled.

Then the crying over there shook the sky, and countless people and horses of the little Yuan camp fled to the rear like a nest, encircling the infantry and horse teams in the rear, and they also retreated in confusion.

Looking at the fleeing crowd over there, the intruders who were originally the guns of the new army showed a cold look in their eyes, after they surrendered to the thieves, many people lost their faith in their hearts and became tyrannical and easy to kill.

Yang Shaofan stood behind the four rows of soldiers, looking at it indifferently, three volleys of shots, the collapse of the small Yuan camp on the other side was expected by him, and those heads were also the capital of his meritorious service.

Li Guo saw the results of the battle ahead, and he smiled at Zhang Neng, the general of Zuo Guoyi beside him: "The battalion is indeed sharp, with these horses joining, my righteous army is like a tiger with wings!" ”

Zhang Neng said with a smile: "That's what I said, but to expand the results, it ultimately depends on our horse team!" ”

Li Dao smiled: "Not bad!" ”

With a choking sound, he drew his sabre. (To be continued.) )
