This was true on the battlefield. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong brought out 30,000 horses, Lu Xiangsheng brought 20,000, the two sides faced each other on an open ground, the peasant army took the lead and began to attack, Gao Yingxiang's thousands of cavalry, began to rush Lu Xiangsheng's military formation, Lu Xiangsheng was not passively beaten, and also sent Zu Band to meet the Guanning iron cavalry.

The combat effectiveness of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is naturally higher than that of the peasant army, so Gao Yingxiang's thousands of cavalry can't stop the Guanning Iron Cavalry's charging and killing, and the three-eyed eyes of the Guanning Iron Cavalry are very domineering, they can shoot from a distance, and they can also be used as iron rods and hammers, which are far more powerful than the sabers of the peasant army. Therefore, after only a short time of fighting, most of Gao Yingxiang's cavalry were killed and wounded, and they had to retreat.

Zu Kuan didn't care how many enemies there were, and led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to rush over with the peasant army, and directly stirred into the formation of the peasant army.

He rushed, Lu Xiangsheng naturally would not let Zu Kuan fall into battle alone, and immediately waved the flag and killed it with 20,000 horses, Gao Yingxiang knew that when the time came for the melee, he also brandished the Qinglong Sword and led the peasant army to resist desperately.

Tens of thousands of horses slaughtered on the battlefield, the cry shook the sky, blood and skulls flew together, and the sword light was the same color as the sun, and the killing was extremely fierce.

On the peasant army's side, they just want to fight a decisive battle with the official army, and they can be regarded as taking advantage of the morale of burning the imperial tomb. But the official army is different, Lu Xiangsheng has gathered the crowd to swear yesterday, and made a military order in public, if he wins, he will not return to the court to accept the crime, and directly kill himself on the battlefield. His words were murderous, and he didn't even want his own life, let alone the lives of others, so from him down, officers at all levels made up their minds to fight this battle. Therefore, as soon as they handed it over, the peasant army soon found that all the officers and soldiers were red-eyed, slashed and stabbed, as long as they were not in the middle of the attack, as long as they could still stand, they would fight with you, and even many officers and soldiers were pierced through the stomach by knives and guns, and they also pounced on the peasant army and bit their throats with their teeth.

This is not an army, but a pack of vicious lions.

The peasant army immediately began to scatter, these people did not expect the official army to be so fierce, this time to capture Fengyang, everyone made a lot of benefits, a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, so when they encountered such an official army, they all began to retreat, unwilling to fight hard.

Gao Yingxiang was also a little surprised at first, he quickly reacted, and felt that Lu Xiangsheng led a mourning army, such a man was too fierce and not easy to defeat. So he hoped that the sneak attack army led by Huang Long would be able to break through the official army camp and create chaos, and at that time, he still had a chance to win.

When he sent Huang Long, he had already made it clear that after the melee began, Huang Long led the army to the rear camp of the official army. Huang Long didn't dare to be careless at all, at this time he had already led 10,000 horses and approached the official camp.

Everything went well, no one intercepted them on the way.

Not long after, the camp of the official army appeared in front of Huang Long's eyes, and the camp was like a piece of roasted beef, which was placed on the table, waiting for him to have a big meal.

Huang Long came to the spirit, and immediately waved his saber and ordered an attack.

The 10,000 peasant army was 2,000 cavalry in the front, and after receiving the order, they immediately began to charge.

They rushed to the official army camp, but they were no longer an arrow away, and the official army camp still did not move, and when they got closer, they found that the gate was wide open, and there was not even a sentry on Diao Dou.

Huang Long was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't stop anymore, and the two thousand cavalry rushed up, and it was impossible to stop halfway.

At this moment, a gong was suddenly heard behind the dirt slopes on both sides of the camp and in the dense forest, and before the peasant army could understand, a rain of arrows fell from the sky and fell into the peasant army's formation.

Immediately, many cavalrymen fell from their horses with arrows, and the horses behind also rolled down a lot when they stepped on the fallen people and horses in front, while the cavalry behind continued to charge.

For a while, the peasant army turned on their backs, and there was some confusion.

Huang Long knew that at this time was the most fatal time, it was impossible to recover the cavalry, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward, and if he could rush into the official camp, he could avoid the arrows that came from him.

Therefore, he continued to give the order to blow the trumpet and charge.

The cavalry rushed to the camp gate in the rain of arrows, and when they were fifty paces away from the gate, they stepped into the pit. The peasant army dug a lot of big pits outside the rear camp, one zhang deep and three zhang square, supported by wooden pillars, covered with straw mats, sprinkled with dust, so it could not be seen.

The cavalry of the peasant army rushed here and fell into the pit.

The pits were full of bamboo spears, and people and horses fell into them, and immediately became meat skewers, screaming all over the sky.

Huang Long saw that the situation was not good, but at this time he still had to rush forward, so he took the infantry behind him, and also accelerated forward, he ordered the infantry to hold their shields, to clear the archers who were in ambush on both sides of the camp, and he himself took 4,000 infantry and pounced on the camp.

By this time the pits had been filled with the corpses of peasant soldiers and horses, and the remaining cavalry behind them stepped on these corpses and rushed over.

At this time, there were ambushes in the gate, and there was a rain of arrows and many javelins thrown at the head, and the peasant cavalry fell again.

At this time, the remaining cavalry had already rushed to the front of the gate.

Because the gate was wide open, these cavalrymen thought that they could rush in without hindrance, but they did not expect that when they rushed to the front of the gate, they suddenly pushed out a lot of carts from the official and military camps, these cars were like carriages, boxy, in front of them were rows of spear tips, ten people pushed a cart, straight to the front of the gate.

The war horses of the peasant army rushed to Yuanmen, and when they saw that they were all bright spear tips, they could not see anyone, and they all screamed and raised their front hooves, not daring to advance.

Dozens of large carts protected the gate and the fences on both sides.

And the arrows of the officers and soldiers are still shooting.

Huanglong was really in a hurry, if he couldn't rush into the camp, his cavalry would become a live target and be shot by others. He shouted from behind, telling the cavalry to dodge a way, and he himself stepped forward with the infantry, ready to move the cart.

The infantrymen finally came to the gate, held their shields, blocked the arrows, grabbed the tips of the guns on the carts with their hands, and pushed them back with all their might.

At this time, the officers and soldiers who were pushing the carts had withdrawn, and no one was in charge of the carts, so the peasant army was relieved, and the carts were slowly pushed.

But they never dreamed that the cart was heavy, because it was not empty, and in addition to some javelins, there was a cart full of gunpowder.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and all the arrows shot in mid-air turned into rockets, and the arrows of these arrows were tied with strips of cloth, which were soaked in oil and had already burned.

These rockets were fired, and the peasant army blocked them with shields. But the arrows fired by the officers and soldiers did not only shoot at them, but more rockets were fired at the carts.

The big cars didn't have a lid on their roofs, so a lot of rockets fell into the cabins.

This is a terrible thing, a carriage full of gunpowder exploded when it caught fire.

Dozens of carts, the sound of the earth cracked, deafening, all the carriages were blown up, those javelins were blown out, stabbing the peasant army in front of him one by one, not only the tips of these guns, but also the gunpowder in the carriage mixed with a lot of gravel, like hail, the peasant army smashed down countless people. Many people burst out of their brains and died on the spot.

Not only that, but after the car was shattered, the fire broke out, and the ground in front of the camp gate had been covered with dry grass and dead branches, and when it caught fire, it caught fire, along with the fence of the camp.

Along with the fire, the peasant army that was close was also burned, screaming and fighting the flames on their bodies, but there were too many of them, crowded together, unable to move, and one person caught fire, which soon ignited the clothes of the people around him.

At this time, there were rockets being fired, and people were constantly falling and catching fire.

At this moment, the peasant army could not stand it, and those who were close were burned to death by the fire, and those who were far away turned around and fled.

At this time, the camp gate has become a sea of fire, and the officials and soldiers first removed all the tents near the camp gate, so the fire could not burn in the camp, and the loss was not big, but the peasant army was miserable, Huanglong with 10,000 horses, and even the shadow of the official army was not seen, it was shot by arrows, burned, and lost more than 1,000 people.

Huang Long withdrew with the rest of his men and horses, wanting to take a breather here and wait until the fire was extinguished before rushing into the camp. Unexpectedly, as soon as they withdrew, countless ambushes had rushed out behind the dirt slopes on both sides and in the dense forest.

At this time, a large banner was erected in the middle of the official and military formation, and the word "Sun" was written on it.

It's Sun Chuanting.

Huang Long didn't know how powerful Sun Chuanting was, but this time he had a solid understanding.

Since the confrontation with Gao Yingxiang, Lu Xiangsheng has known that Gao Yingxiang is a difficult bone to gnaw, and this person still has some brains when he fights, unlike other peasant armies. He asked Sun Chuanting and Fan Ju to discuss countermeasures, and Sun Chuanting and Fan Ju agreed that Gao Yingxiang would make a surprise attack on the camp.

So Sun Chuanting volunteered to lead his troops to intercept this strange army. Lu Xiangsheng asked him how many men and horses he wanted, Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said, "Five thousand cavalry is enough." ”

Lu Xiangsheng groaned: "Gao Yingxiang has 100,000 horses, if you want to sneak attack, there will be no shortage of people and horses, you only need 5,000 people, can you withstand it?" You know, if you can't stand it, the thieves rush into the camp and burn it, and the army will be unstable immediately, and if you don't get it right, you will be defeated. At that time, I don't need to play it, I can behead you. ”

Sun Chuanting smiled: "Although Gao Yingxiang has 100,000 horses, there are only 60,000 or 70,000 people who can go into battle. Moreover, if he sneaks into the enemy camp, he will not bring too many people, and if there are too many people, it will be easy to be exposed, so I think he can only send one or two thousand people at most. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Even if 10,000 people come, can you stop it?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "As long as the lord hands over the rear camp to me and lets me arrange it, I will be able to withstand the attack of the peasant army." ”

He said no more and made a military order. If there is a loss in the camp, he is willing to sacrifice his head to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng knew that Sun Chuanting was a good hand at fighting, so he was relieved to hand over the rear camp to him. Sun Chuanting understood that if you want to kill and injure the enemy in large numbers, you can't rely on a single knife and a gun, and the best way is to use fire and water.
