More than a dozen trumpeters blew the horn of attack together, and nearly 20,000 horses surrounded the whole world. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

But at this time, Li Zicheng suddenly saw Tian Jianxiu coming over with a group of people, and he couldn't help but be stunned, he knew that Tian Jianxiu and Liu Zongmin went to besiege Cao Bianjiao together, why did they come back at this time? Could it be that Cao Bianjiao's men and horses have been completely annihilated?

Li Zicheng felt that it was impossible, three thousand Guanning iron cavalry was by no means something that could be completely annihilated in one or two hours.

Tian Jianxiu came to Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" Tian Jianxiu also lowered his voice: "Lao Hong is here, and there are 20,000 people." ”

Li Zicheng was shocked: "What about Jiexuan?" ”

Tian Jianxiu said: "He took a thousand cavalry to rescue Liu Tichun, at this time, he may be back soon......

Sure enough, before the tea was done, Liu Zongmin rushed to the front with Liu Tichun and more than a thousand cavalry.

Li Zicheng raised his eyes and saw that the yellow dust covering the sky was rising not far away, and he knew that a large group of people was coming, so he immediately made a decision and asked Tian Jianxiu to take the brigade and retreat immediately and hurriedly in the direction of Luoyang.

At the same time, he personally led 10,000 horses to break the queen. Several generals, Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi, Li Guo, etc., are all by his side, these people are brave generals, with them in the back, the people in front of them are more at ease.

After a short time, more than 20,000 peasant troops were withdrawn, and only 10,000 horses led by Li Zicheng were left on the battlefield.

Hong Chengchou was overjoyed when he heard that it was Li Zicheng who was coming up, and he ordered that Li Zicheng should be captured alive or killed no matter what. Whoever captures or kills Li Zicheng alive will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars.

He has always regarded Li Zicheng as his most important opponent, and he attaches more importance to Li Zicheng than Gao Yingxiang. If Li Zicheng is killed, it can be said that there are no more powerful characters in the peasant army.

Under the heavy reward, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers shouted wildly: "Capture Li Zicheng alive...... Capture the thief alive......" rushed up desperately.

Li Zicheng was in his own formation, his eyes didn't look at these officers and soldiers, but stared at the direction of the retreat of the men and horses in the distance, there were no officers and troops to chase Tian Jianxiu and them, Zuo Liangyu was leading the army and Liu Zongmin to kill inseparable, and more officers and soldiers were rushing towards him.

His 5,000 men formed a formation and held out. Li Guo and Hao Shaoqi went one after the other, and took their men and horses to fight with the official army, these people are the most elite soldiers, some were wounded in several places, and they are still fighting to the death, although Hong Chengchou's Hong soldiers are powerful, they can't kill the peasant army for a while.

Li Zicheng retracted his gaze, he knew that the team was out of danger, and now he had to break through.

He suddenly stood on horseback, carefully watched the situation on the battlefield, a strong arrow shot at him, and a personal soldier next to him raised an iron shield to block this arrow for him, Li Zicheng didn't seem to be aware of it, and was still obsessed with the formation of the official army.

Li Zicheng found that on a high slope in the distance, there was a big banner of Hong Chengchou, the commander of the official army, fluttering, and there were more than 1,000 officers and soldiers around the banner, presumably Hong Chengchou's guards.

At this time, the morale of the officers and soldiers was still very strong, because they had clearly seen that Li Zicheng only had a few thousand men and horses around him, and he was surrounded, and he was promoted to become rich, and it was a good time to be promoted. Therefore, these people still desperately attacked and killed.

One by one, the soldiers of the peasant army fell, and the area of the army began to shrink.

Li Zicheng looked at Liu Zongmin's side again, he had already killed the set, and it was impossible for Zuo Liangyu to pull out to intercept him, so he sat on the back of the horse again, pulled out the flower horse sword, and waved it in the air, it was a dazzling cold light, and shouted: "The cavalry comes with me!" ”

There were four or five hundred cavalry on his side, and after listening to his order, he immediately followed Li Zicheng's horse and began to rush in the direction of Luoyang.

Li Zicheng ordered the infantry in front of him to flash out of the road, and he rushed over with five hundred cavalry like an arrow.

Facing the infantry of some officers and soldiers, these people suddenly saw the infantry of the peasant army in front of them flashing to both sides, and a cavalry galloped out of it.

The officers and soldiers were shocked, and just as they wanted to go forward to besiege, four or five hundred war horses had already poured out like a tide, knocking down the oncoming officers and soldiers and knocking over a large area.

The chief general of these officers and soldiers is a nickname called Chi Qing Hu, this person has a pair of yellow eyes, every time he goes into battle, he is congested and turns red, so he is called Chi Qing Hu, he is supervising the battle in the back, and suddenly saw his men and horses hurriedly flashing to both sides, and a cavalry galloped out of it.

Chi Qinghu looked up, the leader of the person, wearing a white pointed old felt hat, the edge of the hat hung down, wearing a pair of iron armor, the iron armor covered with an old green cloth robe, tied with a war belt, with a bow under the waist, a pot of arrows, the quiver is made of cowhide, the outside of the vermilion lacquer painted gold, very eye-catching.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, only vermilion lacquer and gold patterns were allowed on royal utensils, and others were not allowed to use them, and violators should be beheaded. And in the army, too, all sergeants and generals are not allowed to paint gold in their quivers.

And this general was so bold, Chi Qinghu knew at a glance that the person who came was Li Zicheng.

Chiqinghu roared, rushed forward with more than 100 cavalry guards around him, and intercepted Li Zicheng head-on, he was holding a golden gourd hammer in his hand, the hammer head was the size of a bowl, and it weighed 20 catties, which was very terrifying.

Li Zicheng had seen Chi Qinghu earlier, and as soon as he looked at his dress, he knew that he was a partial general, and he was probably the main general of this official army.

Chiqinghu slapped his horse and grabbed in front of Li Zicheng, roared, and smashed the hammer.

Li Zicheng had the kung fu to fight with him for a few rounds, and the important thing was to break through the encirclement as soon as possible, so he pulled the reins, jumped to the side of the horse, and let go of the hammer, and then the flower horse sword in his hand was as fast as lightning, and it was stabbing Chi Qinghu's elbow.

Chi Qinghu screamed, couldn't hold the hammer, and fell to the ground, he was just about to draw the knife at his waist, Li Zicheng's second sword had already stabbed under his right rib, and pierced out under his left waist.

The two faced each other, and with only one face, Chiqinghu died under Li Zicheng's sword.

Li Zicheng drew his sword and continued to charge out with the cavalry, but the officers and infantry could not resist it and were defeated one after another.

He rushed out of the bloody road, and the thousands of infantry behind him also followed Li Zicheng and surged out. A gap immediately appeared in the battle formation of the officers and soldiers.

Hong Chengchou could see clearly on the high slope in the distance, and immediately ordered that all the officers and cavalry should chase closely and never let Li Zicheng escape.

At this time, Li Zicheng had already taken the five hundred cavalry, rushed through a bloody road, and rushed to Liu Zongmin's side, the two of them joined the division, led the cavalry together, fought with Zuo Liangyu in the back, and ordered those infantry to withdraw first.

Zuo Liangyu's men and horses were already tired of killing, and people could still withstand it, but those horses couldn't rush a little, so they could only fight in place and couldn't catch up with the peasant army.

Hong Chengchou also knew that Zuo Liangyu's men and horses had been fighting for a long time, so he ordered his Hong soldiers to step up the pursuit.

Thousands of cavalry chased after Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin fought and retreated, and after suffering more than 1,000 casualties, they finally got rid of Zuo Liangyu and distanced themselves from the officers and troops behind.

At this time, those Hong soldiers saw that Li Zicheng was about to escape, so they opened their bows and arrows, and Li Zicheng and others put their shields behind them, lay on their horses and whipped away.

After running for a while, the war horses of the peasant army were also a little tired, because they also fought for a long time.

Li Guo shouted: "Uncle Li, the horse is already a little tired, so you can't run away like this......"

Hao Shaoqi looked at the officers and soldiers behind him, and shouted: "King Chuang, you give me 500 cavalry, I will definitely block the officers and soldiers, you should withdraw first......"

Li Zicheng shouted: "No, if you want to stay, I will stay, you withdraw, how can there be a reason to retreat first when the king is in battle!" ”

Liu Zongmin roared: "Don't fight, King Chuang, or I'll stay ......"

Li Zicheng waved his hand: "No one is allowed to stay, you have to go together, Li Guo, give me your arrows......"

Li Guo raised his hand and threw the pot of arrows under his waist to Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng took off the treasure bow, put on the wolf's tooth arrow, twisted his body, took a slight aim, pulled the bow full, and let go suddenly, the arrow flew out like a meteor catching the moon.

Li Zicheng's bow was carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen. The best horns and deer tendon strings are used, and the pulling force has reached more than 30, and the bow of the general general has a hard bow when it reaches 20 forces.

The arrows shot by such a hard bow are twice as fast as ordinary arrows, and the range is also dozens of steps farther.

Therefore, only listening to the sound of the bowstring, a member of the officers and soldiers behind him fell off his horse and was pierced through the front by an arrow.

At this time, Li Zicheng shot a second arrow.

He shot down the four nearest officers and soldiers with five arrows in a row, and the rest of the officers and soldiers were in an uproar, which one dared to chase fiercely, but there was only one who was not afraid of death, and he chased straight up with an iron shield, and was shot by Li Zicheng under the neck of the war horse, which penetrated into the belly of the horse, and the horse immediately fell, and the officer who was not afraid of death was rushed by the war horse behind him and stepped into a pulp.

As a result, the morale of the officers and soldiers has been greatly damaged. No one dared to chase it anymore. Although the bounty is a lot, it is still an empty talk without a life flower.

As soon as the officers and soldiers did not chase after them, Li Zicheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and ran farther and farther away with the cavalry.

Hong Chengchou saw Li Zicheng fleeing, and shouted pity in his heart, but he didn't dare to chase him to the death, because after this battle, he only saw Li Zicheng's 20,000 or 30,000 horses, 70,000 or 80,000 people who crossed the sky, and Chaotian and others.

Fortunately, this battle was won, and Hong Chengchou ordered not to chase from afar, to collect the men and horses, save the dead and help the wounded, and clean up the battlefield.
