Hong Chengchou looked down, and sure enough, it was Sun Chuanting, he laughed: "Lord Sun, please get up, you are a meritorious man, what a crime." How many soldiers and horses did you bring? ”

Sun Chuanting said: "The 5,000-foot army has already killed the thieves at the east gate at this time, and is chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy, and I also ask the adults to send people and horses out of the city to help." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded: "General Shi, you take the cavalry out of the city." ”

Shi Kefa said: "Obey!" ”

He ran down the city, ordered five hundred cavalry, opened the gates, and slew them out.

Sun Chuanting's infantry was already very brave, coupled with Shi Kefa's cavalry, under the front and rear attacks, the peasant army finally collapsed, they abandoned their swords and guns, lost their armor, and fled in all directions, Shi Kefa led the cavalry to chase around the city, and in less than an hour, all the peasant troops of the four gates were scattered.

Shi Kefa and Sun Chuanting met and exchanged hard work.

At this time, it was already noon, Sun Chuanting commanded the men and horses to clean up the battlefield, and pulled all the materials abandoned by the peasant army into the city, the camp of tens of thousands of horses, how could they be moved for a while, they were busy working, suddenly from a distance came from the earth-shaking shouts, the two climbed up to take a look, only to see a few miles away, the black oppressive crowd surged like a dark cloud, it was Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Ru who arrived.

It turned out that these two people with tens of thousands of infantry, threw off Zuo Liangyu, and rushed to Xi'an City all the time, and when they were about to get to the city, they met their own defeated soldiers, these people reported that Sun Chuanting had been flanked by Hong Chengchou before and after, and the remaining peasant army was defeated, Zhang Xianzhong sneered: "Who wins and who loses, it has not been distinguished." ”

The two of them rushed forward with their horses, and when the officers and troops had just won the battle and were relaxed, they made a counter-charge.

Tens of thousands of sabers and guns rushed towards the city.

When Sun Chuanting saw these tens of thousands of peasant troops, his heart was shocked, he understood that Zuo Liangyu did not entangle Zhang Xianzhong, and maybe Zhang Xianzhong had already divided his troops to fight with Zuo Liangyu, and the main force returned to Xi'an City.

At this time, he had no time to think about it, and he hurriedly waved his army with Shi Kefa to meet him.

However, because the officers and soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield and collecting supplies, they were not lined up in battle formation, and they were in a hurry to meet the battle. Moreover, these people had just fought a battle, and their strength was not sustainable, so they could not withstand the attack of the peasant army, and they were a bit overwhelmed.

Sun Chuanting was also a little anxious, and if he wanted to retreat into the city, it was too late, and if he continued to fight hard, the other party's tens of thousands of horses would inevitably divide and surround his 5,000 people and eat them in one bite, so he asked Shi Kefa to lead the cavalry to rush out of a road, and escort the infantry to slowly retreat to the city.

Shi Kefa also knew that only by retreating into the city could he keep these new forces. He mounted his horse with 500 cavalry and rushed desperately down the city. However, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were also very witty, and ordered their men and horses to let Shi Kefa's cavalry and fight Sun Chuanting's infantry, as long as Shi Kefa's cavalry rushed over, they would get out of the way, and when they rushed over, they would immediately plug the gap and prevent Sun Chuanting from moving towards the city.

Sun Chuanting's soldiers fell into encirclement, and the conflict could not be opened for a while, and they were trapped in the heart, Shi Kefa led the cavalry to rush back and forth to kill, but the peasant army just didn't fight him, and when they saw him rushing over, they ran away, and when he left, they surrounded him again, and attacked Sun Chuanting with all their might.

Seeing his soldiers fall one by one and be assassinated by the peasant army, Sun Chuanting's eyes were red, he pulled out his sword and wanted to go into battle in person, Sun Mengdie sent four personal soldiers to surround him to the death, not letting him move a step, Sun Chuanting scolded loudly, these four personal soldiers are hard-hearted, let you beat and scold, just don't retreat.

Everything under the city, Hong Chengchou saw it in his eyes, he also fought hard, there were only 3,000 people left in the city, he ordered a deputy general to take 2,000 people out of the city, and be sure to take Sun Chuanting and them into the city.

The lieutenant general rushed out of the city with 2,000 men and killed in the array, and Sun Chuanting also saw it, and he ordered his men and horses to move desperately to the city in order to meet up with the reinforcements.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai saw the reinforcements coming out of the city, they were very excited, they knew that there were not many officers and soldiers in the city, and at this time they would send a few thousand more people out, and the city was afraid that it would be empty, so the two of them discussed that they would leave 30,000 people to besiege the officers and troops outside the city, and send another 10,000 people to attack the city, both prongedly.

Their reaction is very fast, this move is really powerful, Hong Chengchou watched the peasant army divide the troops towards the city wall, and secretly admired in his heart, he ordered the strong men in the city to go to the city, and fight side by side with the only remaining 1,000 officers and soldiers, fighting desperately, not letting a single thief go to the city.

Inside and outside the city, the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark. Fighting everywhere, there are swords and swords everywhere, blood splashes, Xi'an City has become a big Shura field, dead bodies are everywhere, blood is flowing like a river, everyone is fighting for their lives, many people are injured, but they grit their teeth and refuse to retreat to bandage, like a wounded beast, whining, roaring, with the only remaining fangs and claws, tearing the flesh on the opponent's body.

Some strong men in the city who had never fought saw this scene, and their legs were so frightened that they weakened.

In the end, the peasant army was numerous, five times larger than the official army, and in the wilderness outside the city, the official army did not have a strong city and thick walls as a barrier, so the peasant army gradually gained the upper hand, Sun Chuanting's men and horses had lost one-third, and the two thousand people sent by Hong Chengchou also died five or seven hundred.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai saw it really clearly, the two laughed, they both understood that as long as the officials and troops under the city were annihilated, there were only a few defenders left in Xi'an, and the city would be at their fingertips.

Capture the city of Xi'an and kill Hong Chengchou, and they will shock the world, the whole of Shaanxi, that is, what is in their pockets.

Zhang Xianzhong ordered his trumpeters: "Blow the trumpet, beat the drum, and all the men and horses will start a general attack." ”

The trumpeters were about to blow their horns, but suddenly they heard a unique sound of horns coming from the high slope not far away, which resounded through the sky.

Everyone looked sideways, only to see a group of men and horses appearing on the slope in the distance, all of them were cavalry, all of them were bright and bright, murderous, and the war horses that stepped down were also very powerful, although they stood there quietly, they were like a full bow, ready to shoot deadly arrows at any time.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai glanced at each other, and their hearts were shocked.

Such a mighty and majestic, invincible military horse can only be an army, Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Cao Wenzhao is finally here.

At this time, Cao Wenzhao was also full of fire, he led the troops to Xi'an day and night, and met the interceptors sent by Zhang Xianzhong on the way, these horses did not fight with him head-on, but kept harassing him, put a few arrows away and ran, you went to chase him, you had already fled far, and when you went on the road to continue walking, they came out of nowhere, and continued to release arrows, just like fleas on people, knowing that they were biting you, they just couldn't catch them.

In the end, Cao Wenzhao also became angry, and ordered the troops to stop these harassing people and horses, hurry up, and let them release arrows, but not fight.

Now those harassing people don't have a temper, people are fighting to hit you with a few arrows, and they have to hurry, what can they do, the leading peasant army general is afraid that he will not be able to complete the task, and will be punished by Zhang Xianzhong, so he has to step forward to intercept it, but Cao Wenzhao made a counter-charge and was beheaded under the horse.

After killing the leader, the rest of the men and horses dispersed in a hurry, Cao Wenzhao hurried up, and finally came to the city of Xi'an at noon on this day.

Cao Wenzhao heard the earth-shattering sound of the city from afar, and knew that he had come at the right time, so he rode up the high slope and looked down, and the situation in the distance made him a little dizzy.

How many groups of people are fighting?

I saw that the boundless peasant army under the city, about 40,000 or 50,000 people, surrounded by two groups of officers and troops, one group of about four or five thousand people, the other group was less, only more than 1,000, the two sides were inseparable, and there were also hundreds of officers and cavalry teams, clashing back and forth, it seemed that they wanted to rescue the trapped officers and soldiers, but they could not succeed.

Cao Wenzhao had a sneer on his face, he could see clearly that there were more than 1,000 people outside the battlefield, surrounded by two people, and behind these two people stood a big banner, one with Zhang Zi and the other with Luo Zi.

No need to ask, these two people are Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai.

Cao Wenzhao's favorite tactic is to capture the thief and capture the king, and in the millions of troops, take the head of the general.

So he commanded, sounded the trumpet, and attacked.

The sound of the horn sounded, and the people who were fighting on the battlefield turned their heads to look at each other.

Cao Wenzhao began his own charge in the sound of this passionate and majestic horn, he took the lead, holding an iron spear in his hand, urging the horse forward, at first it was a trot, the speed of the horse was not fast, and then gradually accelerated, faster and faster.

The direction in which he began to assault was not Zhang Luo and the others, but rushed towards the battle group, and the three thousand Guan Ning iron cavalry behind him followed Cao Wenzhao and rushed over murderously.
