Chapter 236: Reinforcements Arrive
Yuan Zongdi didn't expect that the current Ming army still had strong combat power, especially that there was a musket battalion hidden and a thousand muskets, firing at the same time, and just two waves of shooting had already turned the forward of the cavalry to the hood!
At this time, He Yilong was leading the troops of the original Fifth Battalion of the Revolution and launched a charge towards the cavalry of the Chuang Army, which was naturally extremely passive!
As an ally of the army for many years, the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion of the left side are too familiar with the army, and they are very familiar with the arrangement of the army and the use of tactics.
Yuan Zongdi's eyes were sharp, and he saw He Yilong at a glance!
I rub!
Holy shit, it turned out that this kid ruined his own good deeds!
He Yilong!
Yuan Zongdi was not a vegetarian, he hurriedly adjusted his tactics, commanded the cavalry to counterattack immediately, the cavalry of both sides was stirred, and then the absolute superiority of the forces barely reversed the situation, and the two sides were completely glued together!
The Ming army and the Chuang army fought a tragic battle, which lasted until the early morning of the next day, the Ming army was an elite division, but the physical strength, morale, and strength were all at a disadvantage, how could it be the opponent of the Chuang army, the weakest left wing front was the first to collapse, and Yuan Shizhong led the Chuang army to rush to the position of the Ming army, compressing the Ming army in a small space!
Sun Chuanting didn't have any way to stomp his feet, and now the Ming army resisted with all his might, and even all the wounded soldiers were sent, but they were just barely supporting!
Li Zicheng was full of slaughter in the distance, looking closely at the gradually collapsing Ming army, his heart was happy, he had fought with Sun Chuanting for so many years, and today he was finally going to be surrounded and annihilated here, at most by noon, under the heavy casualties of the Ming army, it was definitely going to collapse, and then it would be a one-sided massacre, tens of thousands of Ming troops, all of them wanted to leave here alive!
Lao Tzu wants to capture Sun Chuanting alive!
It was at this time that the upheaval abruptly emerged!
Bursts of smoke and dust rolled up from the northeast, and the sound of horses' hooves rushed from far and near, and a cavalry rushed towards the battlefield like lightning!
Li Zicheng was shocked, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, immediately find out which side of the cavalry in the distance is?" ”
Two scouts flew out and ran into the distance!
It's just that the scouts haven't reached the front yet, but the cavalry in the distance has already arrived in front of them.
Yang Chengzu and Shu Xinchen each led a cavalry, and finally arrived at Lanyang!
In fact, the two of them had already crossed the ferry of the Yellow River last night and entered the territory of Kaifeng, but, to the surprise of the two people, they came to the territory of Kaifeng to know that even Kaifeng Mansion had fallen, Sun Chuanting led the army all the way to Lanyang, and Li Zicheng led an army of 100,000 to pursue from behind!
Yang Chengzu and Shu Xinchen were shocked, 100,000 troops pursued Sun Chuanting, this is to encircle and annihilate Inspector Sun, fortunately, his brother came in time!
"Brother, let's not attack Kaifeng first, immediately go east, go straight to Lanyang, and we must rescue the main force of Inspector Sun!"
Yang Chengzu shouted.
Shu Xinchen nodded hurriedly, and 10,000 elite horses rushed towards Lanyang.
When we arrived in Lanyang, it was when the Ming army was about to collapse!
Without saying a word, the two of them launched a fierce attack on the left flank of the breaking army!
Groups of cavalry plunged straight from the flank of the invading army, cut off a large piece of the invading army on the left flank, and then turned over, engulfing thousands of invading troops with lightning speed!
Yuan Shizhong on the left flank was shocked, and before he could react, this cavalry attacked him!
"Command, attack, attack!"
Yuan Shizhong roared angrily, and began to organize the army to turn over and organize a counterattack!
However, 10,000 cavalry are surging, and their combat power is extremely strong, compared to the original Qin army's vanguard battalion, the combat power is still surpassed, and it is a new force, in comparison, the army has been fighting fiercely for a day and a night, and it is extremely tired, where can it still stop the attack of Yang Chengzu and Shu Xinchen?
Groups of cavalry clash back and forth among the left flank of the invading army, like entering a no-man's land!
Although the army on the left flank still has 30,000 troops, but under exhaustion, when encountering such a powerful cavalry, how can it still be a hand, and it will be scattered by the cavalry! It was divided into small pieces one by one, and immediately became the meat of the cavalry's chopping board, and could only be slaughtered!
Li Zicheng and Li Yan and Song Xiance in the distance were all stunned, at this critical moment, the Ming army suddenly came to reinforcements, and they were all cavalry! The combat power is so strong!
"King Chuang, Yuan Shizhong on the left wing can't hold on!"
Li Yan shouted urgently.
Li Zicheng shouted: "I know, but now that we have pressed all the troops, the thousand or so people around us, even if they are photographed, it is not much use, damn it!" Where did this reinforcements come from! ”
Song Xiance sighed, and said astringently: "For the sake of the mountain, the success is short, the king, this time we have miscalculated, withdraw the troops, for today's plan, only temporarily withdraw the troops, we have been fighting fiercely for a day and a night, the army is exhausted, facing such a fierce cavalry, even if we can turn the tide of the battle, we will be greatly injured!" ”
Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said: "I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled, I ordered Yuan Zongdi to mobilize 3,000 cavalry and rush to the aid of Yuan Shizhong, as long as the opponent's cavalry is suppressed, Sun Chuanting will definitely not be able to escape!" ”
While talking, Yang Chengzu and Shu Xinchen's army rushed into Yuan Shizhong's camp, and went straight to Li Yan's frontal position from the left flank, 10,000 cavalry roared, and Li Yan's frontal position was fighting fiercely with the Ming army.
Li Yan wanted to stabilize the situation on the battlefield again, it was too late, the front was Sun Chuanting's desperate resistance, and the back was the assault of the elite cavalry, the front and back were flanked, and the tired army collapsed instantly!
Yuan Zongdi in the distance was shocked, and he couldn't care about He Yilong in front of him anymore, he waved his big knife and shouted: "Order, gallop to help Li Yan, attack with all your strength, and defeat the Ming cavalry in front of me!" ”
Yuan Zongdi gave up the entanglement with He Yilong and rushed towards the cavalry of Yang Chengzu and Shu Xinchen.
Shu Xinchen and Yang Chengzu were not afraid, and Yuan Zongdi's cavalry was also involved, and the two sides fell into an even more tragic battle!
Although Yuan Zongdi's entry cavalry was strong, but after a day of fierce fighting, he had already lost his initial sharpness, even if it was reasonable with Li Yan, it was only barely able to support the situation and not deteriorate, and Yuan Shizhong After the impact of the Ming army's elite cavalry, it was not a simple matter to recover from the chaos.
The most terrible thing is that the current He Yilong, He Yilong saw Yuan Zongdi running away, but he saw Li Zicheng in the distance, his heart moved, roared angrily, and led the remaining cavalry of less than two thousand to rush down towards Li Zicheng!
