Sometimes, luck is very important.

Just like today, Lee Lai Heng is very lucky!

Not every boat owner will park their boats at the wharf, just near Zhangjiawan There are dozens of large and small boats hidden on the shore, and there are even many boats stranded on the shore for the winter.

When the rangers sent by Li Guo discovered these ships, Li Laiheng happened to lead the men and horses over, and when he learned that the Emperor Zhu Thief had left by boat, he immediately asked Tang Tong to lead his troops to the ship to chase after them.

Everyone rowed, and the speed of the boat was naturally much faster.

At the same time that Tang Tong led the troops to chase by boat, Li Laiheng himself led two thousand cavalry to chase all the way, I have to say that there are many horses in the Liukou, even if the imperial court wants to make up tens of thousands of cavalry, it is not necessarily easy, but Li Zicheng easily got seventy or eighty thousand horses, or no business, it comes quickly!

Whether it is Shaanxi or Shanxi, or even Henan, Shandong and North Zhili, there are a large number of horses in the people, especially in Shanxi, in the smuggling activities of Jin merchants and outside the customs, horses are the most important goods, and tens of thousands of horses of good and bad quality flow into the customs through the hands of Jin merchants every year...... Ma Duo, especially in the families of the gentry, who does not have dozens of horses, are embarrassed to go out to say hello.

In the past, when these gentry and gentry faced the government's fundraising, they were all like iron roosters, but when Li Zicheng came, he had to pull out a dime directly.

As a result, it was cheaper to break into the army, and when the king came, he didn't pay for food, but it was the people, as for the old men......

Not only is the money gone, the food is gone, of course, the horses are also pulling the grain and money, and even the people are gone.

It was by relying on the stolen horses that tens of thousands of cavalry were armed, and the mobility of the invading army was far from being comparable to that of the Ming army, and Li Laiheng, who led the cavalry, was the first to come, and it was the pioneer he sent who rushed over first.

When he saw the rolling dust in the sky from a distance, Zu Dashou's face changed color, although here he set a fire boat to burn the beams and trees blocking the bridge hole, but Liukou still kept putting beams there, it was not a matter to go on like this!

"Uncle......

Zu Mingsan looked at the distance and the smoke and dust a little nervously, and then said.

"Uncle, or ......"

At this moment, suddenly there was a chaotic shout and a burst of bangs from behind the embankment, because he couldn't see the situation over there, Zu Dashou, who was originally desperate on the boat, wondered.

"What's going on on ashore?"

Despite his doubts, his face was full of joy.

Reinforcements, reinforcements are coming!

……

Reinforcements are coming!

After receiving the holy decree of King Qin, Zhu Guoqiang also sent a messenger to transfer a force from Shandong to King Qin, the capital. After receiving the order of the prince, Yu Shujie made a little preparation, and then led 15,000 township troops and 10,000 people to the capital.

Considering that the rescue of the soldiers was like fighting fire, he let the infantry rush behind, and he and more than 5,000 cavalry rushed to the capital day and night. This afternoon, the sentry he sent found that Liukou was chasing a fleet along the river, and learned from the mouth of the captive that the fleet had escaped from the capital, and even when the "emperor" was on the boat, Yu Shujie's heart was that tangled!

As the general of the palace, of course he knew what it would mean for the prince if the emperor fell into the hands of thieves. Even when he was ordered to lead the army to King Qin, he was still thinking in his heart, how will this King Qin be diligent at that time, but how specific and diligent he is, he is not worried, after all, Li Chengqi, the brother-in-law of the prince, is here, but now, ...... He's not here!

How diligent?

Is it turning a blind eye, or is it ......

Everyone is looking at the military gate, as the children of Shandong, compared to the emperor, they are even more grateful to the prince, after all, when Shandong was ravaged by Jiannu, it was the prince who raised troops to save them, and when they fell into hunger, it was still the prince who stood up.

As for the emperor, what did he do?

But...... The emperor can't help but save!

Otherwise, you will fall into disloyalty and injustice!

Finally, Yu Shujie took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said.

"Everyone, listen up, the prince sent us over, just for King Qin, in order to save the driver, this drive, we can't help it, everyone has it!"

Without any hesitation, with an order, everyone straightened their chests, they rode tall Liaodong horses, and everyone quietly stared ahead, staring at the battlefield miles away.

They are Shandong township soldiers, and in the past few years, when the northern land has risen in droves, it is precisely because of their existence that Shandong can become a rare place of tranquility. Although they had cleared the bandits in Shandong, this time they had to face the elite horsemen of the bandits.

As a township soldier, they don't have many double-barreled short guns of the Pingyu Army, only the long cavalry spear and the cavalry knife, but even so, they did not feel the slightest fear, Yu Shujie looked left and right, nodded slightly, and at the same time, when he held the handle of the cavalry knife while holding the breath, their cavalry knives were the same as those of the Pinglu, which were not conducive to cutting straight swords, this was because the cavalry made the knife on the back of the galloping horse, chopping, slashing and other tactics against the armored infantry The lethality is limited, in contrast, "T" The straight sword can easily pierce the enemy's armor with the help of the impact of the warhorse.

In fact, for the Shandong township soldiers, they don't need this kind of straight sword, after all, they are facing unarmored bandits, but they are deeply affected by the Pingyu army, and they still use this kind of straight sword.

At the moment when his right hand passed through the belt at the end of the handle and held the handle, Yu Shujie's eyes narrowed slightly. Two words burst out of his voice.

"Draw your sword!"

With the order of the military gate, there was a sound of drawing swords all around. The cavalrymen who drew their swords held their sabers to their right shoulders and stared silently ahead, while they comforted their horses with their palms and waited for the final orders.

"Forward...... Walk! ”

After the order was issued, the cavalry dispatched, their speed was not fast, but the rhythm of the horse's hooves was very neat, so that people would have the illusion that the war horse was stepping on the right step, which was precisely the biggest difference between the cavalry of the Pingyu Army, they were completely different from the ancient cavalry when they received modern cavalry training, and the horses they used were strictly trained, and they could even step out of the relatively neat "walk in unison" like soldiers.

After the two thousand war horses advanced hundreds of meters in a neat pace, the speed of the cavalry began to slowly increase as Yu Shujie issued the command to "slow run".

Even as Shandong township soldiers, their daily training is also carried out in strict accordance with the "Cavalry Training Manual", and the battle is also carried out according to the teaching model, and even some textbooks, from marching to jogging, all actions are carried out according to orders, no one acts on their own, let alone individual martial arts, some are just a neat group, and this is even a somewhat dull queue.

When they galloped, the sound of the horses' hooves became louder, and when the horses' hooves trampled on the earth, there was even an illusion of beating the war drums, and the rhythmic drums echoed on the earth, and the vast earth was the drum surface, and the hooves of thousands of horses were the drum hammers......

The deafening sound of horses' hooves echoed like rolling mines, coming from far and near.

It's cavalry!

When the sound of horses' hooves came from the north, Li Guo just glanced up, and at first, he was a little surprised, because there was something wrong with this sound.

Something seemed wrong with the sound of horses' hooves.

After marching and fighting for so many years, of course he knew what the sound of the horses' hooves of the horse team looked like, although it was like thunder, but the sound was scattered, but now the sound of the horses' hooves in his ears seemed to be a whole, not to mention the strong sense of rhythm, and even gave people the illusion that this sound was made by a horse.

Is this possible?

"Is it Laiheng?"

Li Guo wondered in his heart,

"If it's not Laiheng, or who?"

"Maintain Formation, Maintain Formation......"

Yu Shujie, who was in the front row, rode his horse and galloped wildly, while urging loudly, his words were transmitted among the cavalry, everyone maintained the same speed, and on his left and right and behind him, nearly two thousand cavalry formed a rigid queue, like a moving fortress, roaring towards the Liukou......
