Li Zicheng walked in the middle of the team, and the striker was his general Liu Zongmin, who was born in iron, and followed him when Li Zicheng rebelled, charging into battle, extremely brave, and very righteous, so he had a very high reputation in the old eighth team, and rose all the way to the general post, and was second only to Li Zicheng.

Liu Zongmin loves to fight, especially big battles, hard battles, the more tragic the fight, the more calm he is, the more brave he is. Every time there is a major battle, he rushes to play forward. He had 500 elite cavalry and 1,000 iron sword troops, each of whom used a pen barrel and a gun, and a line when charging. Each of the 1,000 iron knives had a ghost-headed broadsword, the head of the knife was heavy, the blade was light, and the soldiers all had a good strength, and cutting people's heads was like chopping cabbage.

At this time, Liu Zongmin let the flag hold the banner of the word "Chuang", and walked in the front with these 1,500 people, followed by two deputy generals, that is, Yuan Zongdi and Dang Shousu, the original positions of these two people were above him, but Liu Zongmin rose quickly, and in just half a year, he became the general post of the old eighth team. And everyone was convinced, especially Yuan Zongdi and Dang Shousu, Liu Zongmin had saved the lives of both of them more than once, so these two people were willing to be his deputy generals.

The three of them are all brave generals, and their subordinates are all fierce soldiers, it seems that Li Zicheng put the three of them in front and is ready to fight hard with the official army.

Liu Zongmin is even more excited, these days, in addition to fighting a defeated battle, is to drill a ravine, the world is around, although the official army is about to collapse, but his own people are tired enough, now he can finally fight a painful battle, as long as he breaks through the interception of the front officials and troops, and enters Shaanxi, it will be another world.

Therefore, his 1,500 men and horses, like him, had high morale and were holding back a bloody battle with the officers and soldiers.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright, the cold was very heavy, and a thin layer of mist floated up in the mountains at some point, and the hot breath exhaled by men and horses, mixed with the mist, permeated the mountains, and the hooves on the horses' hooves touched the rocks from time to time, and some rubbed out sparks, clicking, but no one spoke.

After about an hour of walking, the light finally brightened, and the sun showed its head, illuminating everyone's faces and the weapons in their hands. Countless cold rays of light began to shine in the mountains, and the murderous aura gradually rose.

At this time, the spies came to report that it was less than five miles away from the official army camp, and whether they wanted to make a detour, Liu Zongmin ordered to bypass the official army camp and try not to alarm the officials and soldiers as much as possible. However, he also knew that there were many officers and soldiers, and the camps that had been set up were more than ten miles long, and they blocked the mountain roads, so it was impossible to bypass them all, so they could only break through the outermost camps of the officers and soldiers and seize the road.

Fifteen hundred men and horses quietly circled around the outside of the official barracks, and they had not gone far, when suddenly the sound of trumpets and cannons sounded in the official barracks, and then there was a whining horn.

Needless to say, the spies under the ambush of the officers and soldiers had already discovered them.

Sure enough, as the horn sounded, there was an uproar in the official camp, and a moment later, countless horsemen and infantry rushed out of the various gates and outflanked them.

Liu Zongmin immediately stood on a high boulder, looked at the officers and soldiers in the distance, and said softly: "Let's start." ”

After an order was given, Yuan Zongdi took 1,000 infantry and 300 cavalry under the command of Dang Shousu and began to charge.

The cavalry was in front and the infantry was behind, fighting with the oncoming officers and soldiers. There are many people and narrow roads, and the conflict cannot be opened, so they fight, on the mountain road, on the hillside, in the forest, there are people and horses on both sides everywhere, you have me, I have you, fighting together.

Dang Shousu led the cavalry, rushed onto the mountain road, and collided head-on with the cavalry of the official army. The two sides fought from the mountain road to the hillside, and from time to time a sergeant and a man rolled down the ravine with a horse, and the party guard was red-eyed, holding a white wax pole gun, and successively overturned seven or eight officers and soldiers, one man and one horse, and broke into the official and military formation. The officers and soldiers knew that he was an officer, and they shouted and surrounded him, trying to capture him alive, but the party guards looked like a mad tiger, and the horses they rode were like crazy, and no one could stop them. The cavalry of the peasant army behind him also charged fiercely, disrupting the position of the officers and soldiers.

Due to the large number of officers and soldiers, Yuan Zongdi and the party were already surrounded at this time, and there were also officials and troops in the distance who were surrounding here.

Liu Zongmin, who was behind, knew that if he couldn't quickly defeat this group of officers and troops and be entangled by them, the officers, soldiers, and horses in the distance would continue to come to reinforce him, and it would be difficult to rush out when the time came.

So he pulled out the big knife, he made this knife specially made by himself, the knife was four feet long, weighed thirteen pounds, the back of the knife was two fingers thick, and the blade could blow hair and break hair, and it was so bright and terrifying.

Liu Zongmin drew his sword in his hand, looked at the two hundred cavalry who followed him, and smiled slightly: "It's time for us, we must break away from the formation of the official army." ”

Then he roared, like a thunder on a sunny day, the prancing horse got off the boulder, and rushed into the army, and the flag officer raised the banner of breaking the word, and followed him with two hundred cavalry, and the cry shook the sky, although there were not many people and horses, but this momentum was simply more powerful than thousands of troops and horses.

Liu Zongmin clenched the big knife, galloped on his horse, as long as there were officers and soldiers who dared to intercept him, almost no one could stop his knife, everyone saw him wave his big knife, and the cold light flashed, and there was an officer and soldier in a different place.

He took these 200 men like an arrow shot out, and plunged straight into the ranks of the officers and soldiers.

After a short time, he rushed to the front of Dang Shousu and shouted: "The old party follows me and rushes out." At this time, Dang Shousu just pulled an enemy off his horse, listened to Liu Zongmin's voice, and laughed: "The turtle sons can't stop us." ”

The two rushed forward side by side, but the officers and soldiers really couldn't stop the torrent and retreated. At this time, Yuan Zongdi also killed, followed the cavalry with the infantry, and rushed towards the enemy camp.

The place where they assaulted was the outermost part of the enemy camp, and there were not many camps here, so it was easy to break through. Liu Zongmin knew that as long as they broke through, they would be able to completely disrupt the camp of the official army, and the official army would split a part of their men to chase them, and Li Zicheng and the others in the back would be easy to kill. Even if you can't kill it, you can turn around and respond and attack the officers and soldiers on both sides.

In the blink of an eye, they chased the ass of the officers and soldiers and rushed into the enemy camp.

Once the cavalry rushed up, it was difficult to stop, and this was the side end of the enemy camp, and the camp was not thick, Liu Zongmin rushed through more than a dozen big tents and saw the back door of the camp.

At this time, the official army had already closed the gate behind them, wanting to trap them in the camp and surround them, but how could Liu Zongmin be able to besiege them? He ordered the cavalry behind him to rush forward and slam the gate.

Seven or eight war horses rushed forward together, and when they arrived at the gate, the cavalry slammed the reins of the horses, and the horses stood up together, and their front hooves were like a giant hammer, smashing down towards the gate.

After only a few blows, the gate collapsed.

Liu Zongmin led his men and horses and rushed out of the enemy camp.

Because he was playing the banner of Chuangzi, when the officers and soldiers saw it, they thought it was the king or the general who rushed over, and hurriedly sent men and horses to chase after him.

Liu Zongmin and the others were able to break out, firstly, they rushed to kill bravely, and secondly, the officers and soldiers did not expect that the peasant army would suddenly come back with a rifle. In the past ten days, the peasant army has been running around the mountains, and it seems that the army has no fighting spirit, so the officers and soldiers are also relieved, and they are killed.

Seeing a group of people rushing out of the official camp, they still waved the banner of breaking the word, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent cavalry to chase after them, but before the rest of the people could catch their breath, Li Zicheng's men and horses arrived.

He led about 10,000 men and horses, and the cavalry was also the first, followed by the infantry, and the cavalry was led by his nephew, a tiger Li Guo. This kid used to be a half-stunned young man, and he didn't want to kill him, but as he fought more, he gradually grew up and knew how to use some strategies, so Li Zicheng asked him to follow him and lead the Chinese army.

At this time, Li Guo took a look at the horse, the official army had just been killed, and the army had not yet been reorganized, and it was a good time to break through the camp, so he ordered to blow the horn and charge.

As soon as the horn sounded, Li Guo rushed into the enemy camp with a thousand cavalry, like a sword off the string.

The officers and soldiers were tidying up the camp, treating the wounded, and burying the dead, when they suddenly heard the sound of the horn and were surprised, and then they saw another group of men and horses rushing in, and knew that it was not good, so they immediately grabbed their weapons and began to fight.

At this time, the reinforcements of the official army also arrived, and the two sides collided head-on like two torrents, blood splashed everywhere, and the cry shook the sky. The main force led by Li Zicheng also joined in, and the official army was already clear at this time that the peasant army was going to break through to the north, and the men and horses from other places were pressing here with all their might.
