Li Zongmin couldn't care about the injuries on his body for the sake of shame, and insisted on fighting in person, even if Li Zicheng wanted to send Li Yan to replace him in this battle.

Liu Zongmin has a temper cannon, once the bull's temper comes up, he won't even buy the account of the king, and Li Zicheng will not have a temper.

Liu Zongmin led 20,000 cavalry, completely forgetting the order given to him by Li Zicheng, marching with all his might, leaving Li Guo's infantry far behind.

In Liu Zongmin's view, Sun Chuanting has a total of only 100,000 troops, some of them stay in Ruzhou to protect the safety of the rear, 30,000 people besiege Baofeng, and the remaining troops that can be mobilized are very limited, and he leads the most elite cavalry of the Chuang army, 20,000 cavalry, even in the face of 50,000 Ming army infantry, he can definitely retreat, who is Lao Tzu afraid of?

Liu Zongmin marched with all his might, and in just one day, he rushed from Xiangcheng to Phoenix Ridge, and at this time, Li Guo's infantry was already more than fifty miles away from the cavalry......

Liu Zongmin had no intention of slowing down his pace at all, and still desperately impacted, passing through Phoenix Ridge in one breath.

However, the Ming army did not plan to give the army such a chance.

It has been two days since Gao Jie and Zuo Guang arrived at Phoenix Ridge first, and they have already laid an ambush on Phoenix Ridge!

Liu Zongmin's 20,000 cavalry could break into the valley between the two Phoenix Ridges, and the peaks on both sides remembered a shortness of breath, Liu Zongmin was shocked, and before he could give an order, on the peaks on both sides, arrows rained down, and thousands of feathered arrows rushed to his face!

"Not good!"

Liu Zongmin exclaimed, he didn't expect that the damn Sun Chuanting really set up an ambush in Phoenix Ridge!

"Order, the army is dispersed, ready to fight!"

Liu Zongmin's words, before he finished speaking, the feather arrows had already been shot down, and the cavalry of the intrusion army raised their weapons one after another to dial the eagle feather, however, this time Liu Zongmin miscalculated, this is not an ordinary arrow, but a rocket, with flames in the back, after being dialed on the ground by the cavalry, it was ignited in an instant, and the sulfur flame nitrate hidden on the ground was in this season in early autumn in August, two years of drought, and the valley was full of dry grass and trees, where could it withstand so many rockets? What's more, there are sulfur flames arranged by the Ming army on the ground!

In the blink of an eye, the entire valley was filled with flames, thick smoke billowed out, and the whole valley was filled with pungent gunsmoke!

"Ahem, ahem...... Retreat, retreat! ”

Liu Zongmin is not stupid, there is Taniguchi behind, as long as he rushes out, then his cavalry will be open to the sky, and he will have Li Guo's infantry behind him to respond, two pincer attacks, you can definitely defeat this damn ambush!

Liu Zongmin's order had just been issued, and at the mouth of the valley of Phoenix Ridge, huge trees and boulders rolled down from the top of the mountain, blocking the retreat of the cavalry!

If you want to rush over, where is it so easy, boulders and rolling logs block the way, the speed of the cavalry can't be raised at all, and it is not even as good as the two-legged infantry, the cavalry are crying bitterly, and there is a big chaos!

Rush out? There's not much of a chance anymore!

However, if you don't rush outward, even if it is just smoke and fire, you can suffocate these 20,000 cavalry to death!

"Come on, move the rolling wood immediately, move the rolling wood!"

Liu Zongmin couldn't stop roaring angrily, giving his own orders, and many cavalry began to roll off their horses, braving the rain of arrows, pushing rolling logs and stones, and clearing roadblocks.

Gao Jie and Zuo Guang first saw clearly above the mountain peak, and wanted to run? It's not that easy, you have to ask Lao Tzu if you agree!

The two of them commanded the soldiers under their hands to start a more crazy attack, not only bows and arrows, but even more powerful three-eyed eyes and birds, and all of a sudden, the cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and the people and horses in the entire valley roared miserably, and became a mess!

The panicked cavalry now couldn't see the enemy's position even if they wanted to shoot back, and could only be beaten passively in the valley.

In such a narrow space, the cavalry is completely useless, even if they want to charge, they are blocked by the rocks and rolling wood, even if they want to find a hidden place to hide, they can't do, people can hide, what about war horses? Not to mention such a serious wildfire!

"Rush, rush! Be sure to rush out! ”

Liu Zongmin was shocked and angry, he knew this, he really wouldn't be so reckless, these are the elite of the army, the loss of one is enough to feel distressed, now the infantry is at least dozens of miles away from him, even if he wants to catch up with the support, it is impossible in a short time!

The only way is to rush out desperately! Only rush out! Only then do you have a chance to live!

It took more than half a day for Liu Zongmin's cavalry to barely clear the rolling wood and rocks at the mouth of the valley, and Liu Zongmin no longer dared to delay the slightest, commanding the army and desperately fleeing outside!

However, Liu Zongmin is too unlucky!

Just when Kankan was about to run out of the valley, a cold arrow shot from the side, and in the panic, Liu Zongmin had already lost his previous vigilance, and was nailed to the cheek by the feather arrow, and even Liu Zongmin's molars were shot off two!

"Ah......h

Liu Zongmin let out a miserable scream and almost fell off his horse!

"General, General!"

The personal guard cavalry on both sides hurriedly hugged Liu Zongmin in the middle and asked urgently.

The blood had already flowed down Liu Zongmin's hand covering his cheeks, and Liu Zongmin grinned in pain, but if he wanted to escape, he couldn't let a feather arrow hang on his face, right?

Liu Zongmin deserved to be a fierce general, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and pulled out the feather arrow with his right hand, and roared angrily: "Strategy (withdrawal)!" Strategy (withdrawal)! Hurry up and get out of Taniguchi! ”

The remnants of the defeated soldiers are desperately running for their lives outside!

Later, the 30,000 Ming army began to gather towards the valley mouth, constantly pursuing the cavalry that broke into the army, and there was a great posture to leave them all!

Call!

Finally escaped from the valley, Liu Zongmin let out a long breath, so hanging, he was almost burned to death in the valley! Looking back again, look at it, under his hands, there are only more than 10,000 cavalry now, at least seven or eight thousand people are left in the valley forever! Even if there are more than 10,000 people, almost all of them are injured and embarrassed!

Liu Zongmin really wanted to turn around and fight again, but the only bit of reason told him, no, retreat immediately, with the current situation of the cavalry, is it still a fart battle? Where is the slightest bit of combat power?

"Order, shredded (retreat), immediately march down the street (towards) the way to tear (retreat)!"

Liu Zongmin endured the pain and gave an order vaguely, preparing to continue to retreat, and join the infantry of Li Guo behind, even if he couldn't turn defeat into victory, at least he could protect the safety of the cavalry......
