Chapter 20: The Battle of Phoenix Ridge (2)
As the saying goes, one wrong step, one wrong step.
If Liu Zongmin's cavalry did not enter the Phoenix Ridge, the tens of thousands of Ming troops really couldn't help the 20,000 elite cavalry, but now it is different, Liu Zongmin recklessly broke into the Phoenix Ridge, and when he came out again, the entire cavalry had been beaten and lost.
Having just escaped from the fire, the cavalry of the invading army had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief, and from the north and south directions, the sound of rapid horses' hooves sounded again!
Cavalry, cavalry! It's the cavalry of the Ming army!
Chen Yongfu led nearly 10,000 cavalry to come, like a raging wave!
If it is placed in peacetime, in the face of the 10,000 cavalry of the Ming army, Liu Zongmin will definitely not have any timidity, the elite combat power of the army is definitely not covered, but now it is not good, it has just been burned by the fire, and now the soldiers of the army are weak and weak, facing the fierce Ming cavalry, they are afraid at first, how can they still win this battle?
"Order, break through, break through with all your might!"
Liu Zongmin is not stupid at all, he must continue to break through and retreat in the direction of Xiangcheng, otherwise, he will fall into the front and rear attacks of the Ming army, even if he does not die, he will have to peel off his skin!
The cavalry had to rush towards the elite of the Ming army on the opposite side!
The two cavalry slammed together, the terrible roar mixed with the sound of the war horse's miserable roar, shaking the four fields, even if Liu Zongmin tried his best, he could not break through the ranks of the Ming cavalry, and could only be entangled with Chen Yongfu's soldiers.
The unlucky soldiers of the invading army were killed by the cavalry of the Ming army and retreated, and they had no power to fight back at all!
At such a critical moment, Zhu Jie and Zuo Guangxian led the infantry to cover up from behind again, vowing to wipe out Liu Zongmin's thieves in one fell swoop!
Fierce battle, fierce battle!
In front is the continuous advance of the Ming cavalry, sabers flying, and behind is the three-eyed eyes of the Ming infantry fired with bows and arrows, constantly sneak attacking.
Liu Zongmin was completely beaten stupid, too miserable, too miserable!
In the distance, the 60,000 troops led by Li Guo were marching in full force.
Li Guo is also very helpless, this Liu Zongmin relies on hard work and high achievements, and he doesn't even pay attention to the words of King Chuang, look, look! King Chuang clearly ordered that the distance between the cavalry and the infantry should not exceed thirty miles, and now it is estimated that it will be more than fifty miles! What's more, if you encounter an ambush, you won't be able to whip up it by then!
When Li Guo was in his belly, he rode a fast horse and galloped over, and the spies sent out ran back at a gallop!
"General Li, General Li!"
Li Guo raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What's the situation!" ”
The spy took a breath and said urgently: "Little General, I found flames and thick smoke billowing ten miles away from Phoenix Ridge, at this time, General Quan's army is estimated to be in Phoenix Ridge, I am afraid that General Quan's cavalry will encounter an ambush......
Li Guo's heart tightened, wiped it, what are you worried about, what are you just catching up? Liu Zongmin, I hope that your kid has a big life and can hold on for a while, otherwise, no one will be able to save you, Lao Tzu's infantry is at least thirty miles away from you now!
"Order, the whole army marches with all its strength and rushes in the direction of Phoenix Ridge, quickly, quickly!"
Li Guo shouted hurriedly, constantly urging his infantry to rush forward!
The 60,000 infantrymen began to desperately sprint in the direction of Phoenix Ridge, and it was time to be desperate, if they were late, they would have to collect the bodies of their brothers!
Li Guo led the infantry to rush to the rescue, but Liu Zongmin was completely caught in a bitter battle, this battle was killed, if it wasn't for Liu Zongmin to bring out all the elite cavalry that broke into the army, I am afraid that the whole army would have been wiped out long ago!
Even so, the battle lasted until near dusk, and Liu Zongmin led the remnants of the defeated army to break out of the encirclement of the Ming army, and fled in the direction of Xiangcheng without his life, this time Liu Zongmin was really scared!
However, Gao Jie Zuo Guangxian and Chen Yongfu will definitely not let Liu Zongmin escape so easily, they already know that in the rear, there is also the main infantry force of the Ming army, even if they can't completely defeat the main infantry force of the thieves, then they must be entangled to death, contained in the area of Phoenix Ridge, and absolutely cannot let them withdraw to Xiangcheng!
You know, now Zhu Jie is only afraid that he has already arrived in Xiangcheng, and it is estimated that he will launch an attack on Xiangcheng tonight, if at this time, the main force of the thieves will be killed back like this, then Zhu Jie will be attacked by the enemy, not to mention taking Xiangcheng, it is a great luck to be able to escape, after all, Zhu Jie only brought five or six thousand cavalry, and the troops are too thin!
Tens of thousands of Ming troops chased after them from behind, biting Liu Zongmin's army to the death, and driving the intruding army into a bitter one!
Just when Liu Zongmin was more and more unable to resist, Li Guo led an army of 60,000 and finally arrived!
Running all the way, in order to be able to rush to the aid as soon as possible, Li Guo even let his elite forces throw off the main force behind and rushed to the battlefield, the addition of these 10,000 elite forces finally gave Liu Zongmin a chance to breathe.
"General Quan, what the hell are you doing! Didn't King Chuang strictly order the cavalry to reduce the speed of the march, and you still ran forward desperately, if it weren't for my extra heart, and continuously sent spies to the front to spy on the military situation, I'm afraid that I would still be twenty or thirty miles away! ”
Li Guo really wanted to give Liu Zongmin a resounding slap in the face, but seeing Liu Zongmin's tragic state, he really couldn't do anything, the injury was not good, and now there is more appreciation on his face, and a huge wound was torn out, even the helmet was cut off by others in the fierce battle, and on the thigh, he was stabbed in a bloody hole by the Ming army with a spear, which was extremely miserable!
Liu Zongmin roared angrily: "Dog, is it still a fart to talk about this now?" Hurry, quickly organize the assault of the Ming cavalry immediately, you must stabilize your position, you can't fall into their encirclement! ”
Li Guo glared at Liu Zongmin fiercely, temporarily took over the command on the battlefield, and began to command the army to fight with all its might!
With the increasing number of troops in the army, the troops have begun to surpass the Ming army, and they have turned the situation around and completely gained a firm foothold, but the Ming army is still fighting to the death and is still fighting hard.
Li Guo looked at the wounded soldiers one by one, his heart was dripping blood, the main force of the infantry who rushed to the aid was too serious, facing the attack of the Ming army with a rainbow, it was really miserable, if it was a frontal encounter, now I am afraid that the Ming army has already been defeated, but I have 80,000 troops!
What the hell, is this group of Ming troops crazy, do they want to fight at night?
