Li Dingguo heard the sound of the horn and knew that it was a signal for the cavalry to attack, so he hurriedly got on his horse and rushed up with three thousand cavalry, Zhang Xianzhong pointed to the middle of the formation: "The officers and soldiers led by that young general are very brave, you can't let them mess up the camp, you take someone to clean him up." ”

Li Dingguo also saw the men and horses led by Shi Kefa, and he smiled coldly: "Dashuai, these hundreds of people will be handed over to the children, squeeze out this pus, and see what oil and water Hong Chengchou can have." ”

He slammed his saddle and rushed over with three thousand cavalry. While rushing, Li Dingguo shouted loudly, asking the infantry to dodge, and the infantry of the peasant army saw his cavalry coming, and avoided it one after another, giving way to it.

Li Dingguo rushed to a distance of three arrows from Shi Kefa, and ordered 3,000 men and horses to divide into three roads, and the left and right roads were outflanked on both sides.

The three-way men and horses ran dusty, like three yellow dragons, and surrounded the officials and soldiers.

Shi Kefa was also very alert, he was charging and killing, while paying attention to the movement of the peasant army in the distance, he knew in his heart that his five hundred men and horses were just a sneak attack, once the official army sent cavalry to surround him, he must retreat into the city. If it was surrounded by the cavalry of the peasant army, then the destruction of the whole army was only a matter of an eye.

At this time, when I saw the dust rising in the distance, the three-way cavalry outflanked me, especially the young general who was the leader, wearing iron armor and holding an iron spear in his hand, roared and rushed over, and knew that it was not easy to provoke.

But where the cavalry fights, it is generally used with a scimitar or a single knife with an arc, so that it is easy to cut and kill on the horse, and the blade is not easy to be bitten by the human body, of course, there are also spears, but the spear is very easy to break when the cavalry thrusts, the wooden gun shaft is very easy to break, so it is not used much, the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty used a horse lance, that is because the rod of the horse lance is not ordinary wooden, but is peeled into strips with flexible wood, and then soaked in oil, after repeated soaking, when it does not crack, it is glued together, and then wrapped in hemp rope outside, It took at least a few years to make the whole horse lance, so it was impossible for this long weapon to be used on a large scale.

Therefore, most of the cavalry used scimitars.

In Li Dingguo's hands, it is an iron spear. The whole body is made of iron, it will not break, it weighs twenty-one catties, if it is not for his natural divine power, how can he dance, this spear is in Li Dingguo's hands, like a straw stick, which is terrifying.

When Shi Kefa saw the enemy soldiers rushing towards him, he did not panic, and led his men and horses in a circle and killed them at the city gate. Li Dingguo saw at a glance that the official army was about to retreat to the city, so he rushed over with a slash and chased after him closely. At the same time, he commanded the outflanked men and horses, and pounced on the city gate first, cutting off the retreat of the officers and soldiers.

For a while, the four roads stirred up the yellow dust and all came to the city gate.

Shi Kefa's cavalry naturally arrived earlier than the peasant army, but unlike when he went out of the city, after the suspension bridge was put down in the city, because the suspension bridge was not wide, he could only run three horses side by side, and he had more than 400 people, and it was impossible to enter the city at the same time.

At the same time, the Ming army at the head of the city began to fire arrows at Li Dingguo's men and horses to cover the entry of the official army into the city.

However, once the more than 3,000 cavalry were launched, it was really like the sky was falling apart, and they couldn't stop it at all. Although the men and horses kept falling from arrows, the people behind them still followed closely on the prancing horses.

Li Dingguo flashed the cold arrow that came from him, holding an iron spear in his hand, and took the lead, and Kankan had already approached the drawbridge. At this time, there were still more than 100 officers and soldiers who had not yet entered the city, Shi Kefa roared, waved his sword and rushed forward, and several of his personal soldiers escorted him and greeted the cavalry of the peasant army.

Someone at the head of the city was shouting: "General Shi, you go to the city first, let's not care about others......"

Shi Kefa was willing to listen, he had to wait for everyone to enter the city before he could enter the city, in his heart, the general should be the first to charge, the last to retreat.

Li Dingguo also saw Shi Kefa's determination, he knew that this officer was very tough, and he also loved soldiers like a son, such a person must be a strong enemy in the official army in the future, and it was best to kill at this time, so he saw Shi Kefa, roared the tiger, and stabbed the iron spear in the chest.

Shi Kefa saw that he was coming too violently and didn't dare to parry, so he pulled the horse and flashed to the side, let go of the spear, and then picked up the big knife, slashed Huashan, and chopped head-on.

The pro-soldiers behind him also fought with the peasant army.

At the beginning of the scuffle between the two sides, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city did not dare to release any more arrows, but they were in a hurry and watched the men and horses retreat to the city.

Shi Kefa and Li Dingguo fought for a few rounds, and they didn't win or lose, and they both admired each other a little in their hearts, but Shi Kefa saw clearly that thousands of peasant army cavalry had already besieged them, and if they didn't leave, they would be surrounded.

He ordered the soldiers to retreat, and he didn't want them to die, unless he went first. Shi Kefa looked back and saw that the last officer cavalry had already rushed across the drawbridge, so he had no choice but to swing his sword and run back on his horse.

Li Dingguo was just about to catch up, when a Shi Kefa's personal soldier rushed over and blocked his way. Li Dingguo shouted angrily, pulled the pro-soldier off his horse with a spear, and then slapped the horse in hot pursuit.

Shi Kefa had already run onto the suspension bridge at this time, and when he looked back, his last personal soldier was also cut off his horse, and before he could stand up, countless war horses rushed over and stepped on the meat paste. And Li Dingguo had already chased him away at this time.

The Ming troops at the head of the city shouted in unison: "General, enter the city...... The thief is behind him......"

Shi Kefa slammed the horse's buttocks with the back of his knife, and the horse flew up four hooves, ran across the drawbridge, and rushed to the city gate, but the Ming army at the head of the city had just pulled up the drawbridge, and Li Dingguo had already rushed over and ran to the drawbridge.

The suspension bridge slowly rose, Li Dingguo's eyes were red, and he was still in hot pursuit.

The Ming army at the head of the city shouted: "The thieves have entered the city, the thieves have entered the city......"

One of the officers shouted: "Just one person, pull up the drawbridge, pull up the drawbridge, the archers are ready, shoot him!" The drawbridge creaked and continued to rise, and along with Li Dingguo, it was off the ground. The cavalry of the peasant army behind chased to the edge of the ditch, but they couldn't do anything and couldn't jump, seeing that Li Dingguo was trapped between the drawbridge and the city gate.

Zhang Xianzhong saw it clearly, and stomped his feet in the middle of the kick: "Dingguo, you bastard boy, you only chase one enemy soldier, how can you trap yourself in it......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering shout, Li Dingguo turned around and saw the drawbridge pulled up, knowing that if he didn't leave, he would be trapped here, so he circled back the horse and slammed the horse's back with the barrel of his gun, and the horse neighed and rushed onto the drawbridge like an arrow.

At this time, the suspension bridge and the shore of the ditch below were already more than a zhang high, Li Dingguo fought for his life, urging the horse to rush, the horse galloped to the side of the bridge, jumped up. Li Dingguo shouted loudly, and the sound shook all over the world.

Like a black lightning, a man and a horse leaped in the air, like a dragon walking in the sky, nearly 10,000 people in the city and under the city looked at it in a daze, forgetting to fight, at this moment, together with the Ming army, they all hoped that he would land safely.

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes widened, his fists clenched, and his heart rose to his throat.

Li Dingguo flew over the suspension bridge, but in the blink of an eye, but in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes, it seemed to be longer than a day.

With a tom sound, the four hooves of the war horse fell to the ground, and then only a neighing was heard, the horse rolled to the ground, the four hooves folded, Li Dingguo pounced forward, his body turned over in the air, and fell to the ground.

His cavalry was taken aback, and when he came to look, Li Dingguo turned over, glanced at his horse, and then spat hatefully, glaring at the city, and it seemed that it was not broken.

Zhang Xianzhong laughed at this time: "This kid has a kind." ”

Li Dingguo's own soldiers gave him a horse, and then led the cavalry to retreat.

The weather in the month of wax is getting dark quickly, and it is already dusk at this time. Zhang Xianzhong saw that Li Dingguo was not injured, and his heart was much more settled, and he ordered to withdraw his troops and attack again tomorrow.

The peasant army began to withdraw from the battlefield and carry the wounded back for treatment. The Ming army at the head of the city also breathed a sigh of relief, and the men brought up the rice and braised pork from the cauldron, plus a jar of soju, and opened the meal on the spot.

Hong Chengchou stood at the head of the city, watching the peasant army retreat, his heart was not calm, the combat effectiveness of this peasant army was stronger than he imagined. At this time, the number of casualties was counted, and the main report said that more than 500 people were killed, more than 200 were seriously wounded, and those who were slightly wounded, and the Ming army suffered 15,600 casualties in this day's battle.
