Chapter 72, The Crisis of the People's Army 3

Zuo Liangyu was right, as soon as Gao Yingxiang and others led the army into Henan, it was immediately as if they had entered heaven. The officials and soldiers here are brave, they are defeated before the battle, the prefectures and counties are attacked immediately, and the gentry are very rich, and there are gold and silver treasures at home, and the peasant army has broken countless cities wherever they go.

At this time, the days of the peasant army in Henan were really extremely happy, but happiness would not last long, and Zuo Liangyu had already chased after him.

The first person to hit Zuo Liangyu was the Chaotian Dragon.

On this day, he led his men and horses to sack a large town, and was drinking to celebrate his achievements, and visited the Malay newspaper, when an official army appeared, ten miles to the north.

How did Chao Tianlong know that it was Zuo Liangyu, and asked Tanma: "How many people are there in the official army?" Tanma replied, "There are only four or five thousand people." However, most of them were cavalry, and they looked fierce. ”

Chaotian Long frowned, he himself only had six or seven thousand people under him, and those who could fight were only about 5,000, which was similar to the enemy's army, so Chaotian Long immediately made a decision and ordered: Withdraw!

But he couldn't withdraw anymore. Zuo Liangyu took the lead and had already killed him.

By the way, Zuo Liangyu is the best at archery in the official army, at this time he rode a white horse, carried two hard bows on his waist, and carried two arrows on the horseback, each sixty branches, all of which were pierced by barbed wolf teeth.

At this time, Chaotianlong gathered people and horses, and was just about to retreat south, when he heard what seemed to be rumbling thunder in the distance, and looked up, a large area of black pressure in the north, countless black helmets flashing with black light, it was the official army.

The Chaos Dragon shouted: "Hurry back ......"

Before the cry fell, the soldiers holding the flag beside him screamed miserably, fell off their horses and died, and an arrow was hit in the back of the neck, which shot through the entire neck.

This arrow was shot by Zuo Liangyu, and with a wave of his hand, the Ming army fired arrows on the horse, flying into the ranks of the peasant army.

The team of Chaotian Dragon was stunned by the sudden rain of arrows, and at least hundreds of people fell, and the rest of the people had not yet formed a formation, and Zuo Liangyu's men and horses had already broken through.

Three thousand black-armored cavalry, like the sea of oolongs, stirred into the peasant army, these cavalry are well-trained, free to conflict, once they break in, immediately divided into three teams, two thousand households divided into two armies on the left and right, rushing to both sides, Zuo Liangyu led the Chinese army, and the middle palace went straight forward. The peasant army was cut down by the swords of the horses and fell one by one.

Chaotianlong knew that it was not good, and it was impossible to assemble the formation again, he didn't expect Zuo Liangyu to come so quickly, and he didn't have the slightest effort to react, and the people and horses were cut into several sections, and they couldn't echo.

He gritted his teeth, hated and hated, and then beckoned his soldiers to retreat with him, and soon hundreds of people gathered around him, all on horseback, and fled south with him.

But the officers and soldiers behind were in hot pursuit, Zuo Liangyu took his own guards, saw the Chaotian Dragon, and chased him down, he knew that this person must be the head of the thief, and he must not let him run away.

So Chaotianlong fled with hundreds of people, and Zuo Liangyu led the guards, about more than 100 horsemen, and chased closely.

While chasing, Zuo Liangyu opened his bow and released arrows, his archery is like a god, every arrow shot, someone will fall off the horse. Listening to the screams behind him, Chaotian Long shouted angrily, "Damn, are you using the bow and arrow in your hand to play? Those pro-soldiers hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows and fired back at the officers and soldiers.

However, their archery skills were far behind, and they only shot down a few officers and soldiers under a chaotic array of arrows.

Zuo Liangyu aimed at these peasant troops with bows, one arrow at a time, so frightened that those people did not dare to shoot again, and ran on their horses. However, their horses were not as fast as the horses of the officers and soldiers, and they were already very close in a short time.

Chaotian Long knew that sooner or later he would be caught up, he looked back and saw that the Ming army had only chased more than a hundred people, twice as many as himself, and everyone was a cavalryman, so he was afraid of something. So he shouted and cursed, and asked his soldiers to rein in their horses and prepare to turn back and fight a decisive battle.

As soon as he saw Chaotianlong returning, Zuo Liangyu knew that this anti-thief was going to fight hard, so he also tied up the people and horses, ordered to draw out his saber, and prepared to attack.

The two sides are half a stone's throw apart, and they are both aggressive, one side accounts for a large number of people, and the other side is a soldier.

The Chaotian Dragon Dance Knife was in the air, shouting, more than 200 people shook off the reins together, and rushed towards the Ming army, Zuo Liangyu was not in a hurry, and ordered the two commanders around him, asking them to lead 20 people each, gallop 500 steps left and right, and then rush into the enemy formation.

The two general flag leaders ordered, each led twenty people to gallop away, Chaotianlong didn't understand, thinking that these Ming troops were scared away, laughing, and his own soldiers also came to the spirit, the officers and soldiers in front of them only had more than 60 people, almost four to one, and there was no doubt about victory.

Zuo Liangyu took these more than 60 people and rushed up against the people's army. As soon as the people and horses on both sides came into contact, they saw the horses' heads colliding, the horses' hooves flying, mixed with the dull sound of the horses falling to the ground, endlessly. The soldiers on both sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the bright sabers flew wildly, and the gold and iron struck each other, resounding together.

Chaotianlong surrounded Zuo Liangyu with five personal soldiers, he already knew that Zuo Liangyu's arrows were extremely accurate, and generals who liked to use bows and arrows were generally not good at weapons, so he was sure that he would capture this person.

But he was wrong, Zuo Liangyu's big sword was not inferior to his bow and arrow.

Zuo Liangyu's strength is amazing, he can pull a hard bow of hundreds of catties, so the big knife he uses is also unusual, the blade is three feet long, and the head of the knife is also three feet long. Zuo Liangyu is tall, with long arms and long hands, and then swings a three-foot long knife, although there are six people in Chaotianlong, no one can get close.

Hearing only a scream, a personal soldier pounced closer, and was unloaded half of his arm by Zuo Liangyu with a knife, and flew into the air with blood light. In this way, the rest of the people were startled, the offensive slowed down, and Zuo Liangyu rushed out of the battle group.

Several Ming soldiers rushed up to protect Zuo Liangyu, and one of the Ming soldiers asked: "Chief soldier, why haven't the other two teams come yet?" If you hold on for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. ”

Zuo Liangyu sneered: "Just a few rogues, can't you stop it?" If you can't stop it, you can withdraw first, and Lao Tzu is not afraid to fight alone. ”

When the Ming army heard this, they all filled their chests with anger and shouted: "Why does the chief soldier look down on us and wait!" While shouting, he fought desperately, and his momentum was vigorous, and he killed the peasant army, which was several times larger than himself, and took a few steps back.

At this moment, more than 40 Ming troops who had run away in advance began to rush back, one on the left and one on the right, rushing into the enemy formation.

Although Zuo Liangyu has never read and is illiterate, he has no teacher about the art of war and understands the principle of "winning with the right and winning with the odd". He led some of his men and horses to meet the enemy head-on, which was regarded as a coincidence, and he divided two teams of men and horses and suddenly attacked them, which was regarded as a strange victory.

Although the scale of this battle is not large, it is enough to see that Zuo Liangyu is not only brave in battle, but also likes to deceive, such a powerful enemy, Chaotian Dragon is naturally not an opponent.

His more than 200 personal soldiers were rushed by the Ming army, and they were immediately divided, and they could not take care of each other, although there were many people, they were surrounded.

Chaotian Long didn't understand how he lost this battle, but he already understood that if he didn't escape, his head would fall to the ground. So he didn't say hello this time, and rode alone and turned around and ran.

Zuo Liangyu didn't allow the Chaotian Dragon to escape, he sneered, took off the hard bow, put on the wolf's tooth arrow, and waited for the Chaotian Dragon to run nearly fifty steps, but he didn't fire.

It turns out that the Chaotian Dragon is also extremely cunning, when he escapes on horseback, he never gets up, the whole person lies on the horse, leaving only a butt for the person behind, in this way, even if he is shot, there is a lot of meat on the buttocks, and the injury will not be serious, let alone fall off the horse.

He thought about it very thoughtfully, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Zuo Liangyu could not only shoot arrows, but also shoot arrows.

Zuo Liangyu waited for him to run sixty steps away, and suddenly raised his arm, the bow opened like a full moon, and the arrow walked like a flying star, only to see a cold light, and the wolf's tooth arrow flew out, impartial, and hit the horse's buttocks.

When the horse was struck by an arrow, there was a neigh, and the man stood up.

At this moment, Zuo Liangyu's second arrow had already arrived, and because the horse of the Chaotian Dragon stood up, the heart of the Chaotian Dragon had to be revealed.

One arrow through the heart!

The Celestial Dragon was dead before he fell off his horse. The arrow pierced his heart.
