Li Zicheng is shrewd, and Xu Yifan is not stupid than him at all.

From the beginning of the defeat of Kaifeng, the Western Route Army left behind in Henan and Ruzhou has begun to retreat and assemble in the direction of Xuchang and Xiangcheng, one state and one government together, the strength of 15,000 people, one after another retreated towards Xiangcheng, these days have passed, and they have arrived in Xiangcheng one after another.

However, during this period, Zhu Jie was not idle, the two infantry battalions in Tongzhou Town, starting from the east and west directions all the way to recover Zhou County, the speed was not slower than the speed of the retreat of the army, the so-called soldiers are noble, the strength of several large battalions in Tongzhou Town are elite forces, selected from the Ming Army's Gyeonggi Guard, the military quality is far beyond the ordinary army, and the speed of this march is also far beyond the army!

On the third day when the breaking army on the west road had just assembled in Xiangcheng, Xiao Ting had already arrived in Xiangcheng with 8,000 elite infantry, and at this time, it was already the fifth day that Li Zicheng had withdrawn into Xiangcheng.

In Xiangcheng, Li Zicheng had already received information, 8,000 elite infantry rushed straight to Xiangcheng, Li Zicheng showed a cold smile on his face, 8,000 troops want to take my Xiangcheng and encircle and annihilate my army? This Ming army is inevitably too underestimated by me, right?

"Zong Min, gather the army and prepare to fight!"

Li Zicheng shouted coldly.

"Take the initiative?"

Song Xiance on the side was shocked, he didn't expect King Chuang to have such great courage, and at this time, he dared to take the initiative to fight! Even if there are only 8,000 infantrymen, it is enough for the army to drink a pot!

"King Chuang, I thought we should stick to it, we have no chance of winning at this time!"

Song Xiance said urgently.

Li Zicheng shouted: "Military division, now that the infantry of the Ming army has arrived, and the cavalry has not arrived, it is the best time for us to break through each of them, and when the Ming cavalry arrives, we just want to fight, but it will not work!" Guochang and Zhang Nai each led 4,000 infantry to fight head-on! Zong Min and Fang Liang each led a thousand cavalry to attack the Ming army from the left and right flanks, this battle is a matter of life and death, it's time for us to fight hard, only win, not defeat, before dark, this Ming army must be defeated for me! ”

The four fierce generals hurriedly agreed, went down separately to gather troops, and in a short time, they were killed from Xiangcheng!

Xiao Ting's heart was shocked, he didn't expect that at this time, the army would dare to take the initiative to fight, so bold!

However, when Xiao Ting saw Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang and others from a distance, his heart couldn't help but tremble! Wipe, this time the warriors will come out of the nest, these four people will pull out one at random, and they are not other people's opponents, not to mention that the four warriors will fight together!

Xiao Ting couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, God, this army is crazy, Xu Yifan, you kid have to arrive in time, otherwise, Lao Tzu will be in big trouble this time!

Although Xiao Ting also has two shots, but after all, in the Gyeonggi area, there are few opportunities for actual combat, this time he is alone, and in the face of tens of thousands of troops, he can't help but feel worried!

Damn, no matter how much, since it's this time, even if it's hard-headed, you have to fight, you can't let Xu Yifan and Qin Mufeng flatten themselves!

"Order the artillery to attack, concentrate artillery fire and launch an attack on the front!"

Xiao Ting shouted loudly, since you are fighting head-on, you are not other people's opponents, then you can only avoid its edge, and you can only attack the other with the strength of one skill, so I don't believe it, you warriors can withstand the power of Lao Tzu's artillery!

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

A burst of artillery rang out on the Ming army's position, and shells fired at the invading infantry!

As soon as Liu Guochang and Zhang Nai led the infantry out of the battle, they ushered in the first shot, and more than a dozen shells smashed down almost at the same time with two infantry phalanxes!

"Herald, charge! Rush! ”

Liu Guochang and Zhang Nai are both fierce generals and have rich experience, at this time, they must not confront each other, they must charge up and stay in place, that is, they are waiting for thunder......

The 8,000 Chuang army began to shout and rushed towards the Ming infantry!

A shell fell in the charging team, one by one the army was smashed into a pulp, however, this did not affect the charge of the army, by this time, the army had already understood, if you don't defeat the Ming army in front of you, then you will have no way to live, rush!

The artillery of the Ming army only fired three waves, and the breaking army had already rushed to the front of the Ming army, and the soldiers on both sides collided fiercely!

Fighting, tragic fighting!

Just the direct hand-to-hand combat of the infantry, Xiao Ting is not worried, the combat power of the 8,000 people under his command will definitely not lose to the innovator army, not to mention the 8,000 infantry, even if it is tens of thousands of infantry, it will definitely not take advantage! What Xiao Ting is worried about is the two generals in front of him - Liu Guochang and Zhang Nai, the two fierce generals are extremely brave, in the previous war, Xiao Ting has already seen it!

What Xiao Ting can do now is to concentrate all his strength and command the infantry battalion to defeat the infantry of the invading army, as long as the invading army collapses, there will only be two generals left, and there will be no way to reverse the situation at all, even if it is consumed, it will consume him!

The two infantry fought together, steel knives, constantly slashing; The spears kept piercing, the battlefield was full of tragic roars, and the soldiers had already forgotten everything, only the enemy in their eyes, and only by macheting the enemy, they could have a way to live!

Kill, kill, kill!

After all, the Ming army is superior, when the 8,000 Chuang Army just started, with the Yu Yong of the charge, it was able to barely withstand the attack of the Ming Army, but after a little longer, the Chuang Army could not withstand it, even if Liu Guochang was brave and good at fighting, Zhang Nai was brave and invincible, surrounded by many infantry elites, it was impossible to reverse the entire battle situation!

At the critical moment, the cavalry - finally sorted!

Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang pounced on the flank of the Ming army on the left and right!

Xiao Ting in the distance could see it clearly, the cavalry moved! The cavalry finally moved! Will your own infantry battalion be able to hold up?

"Give orders, open fire, fire arrows, and stop the cavalry from approaching the flanks! Defend with all your might! ”

Xiao Ting roared and gave the order!

It's just that these means can deal with infantry, but they definitely can't deal with cavalry divisions, and the slow rate of artillery fire makes the role of artillery only limited to naval battles or siege warfare.

Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang took the lead, and the cavalry behind followed closely, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the flank of the Ming army and directly crashed into the array of the Ming army!

The infantry battalion of the Ming army, which originally had an advantage, was under the left and right flanking attacks of the two cavalry, and it was still to no avail, in the face of the impact of the cavalry, the infantry lacked the protection of the pikemen, and it was not possible to rely on the machete in their hands alone!

Two thousand cavalry, in an instant, tore the flanks of the Ming army battalion!
