The two of them arranged their men and horses and sent scouts to investigate, and sure enough, after a short time, the scouts reported and found that the peasant army, led by Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai himself, was thousands of cavalry in front, and the infantry in the back seemed to have thirty or forty thousand people, and the comers were not good.

Zuo Liangyu looked at Sun Chuanting: "Sun participates in politics, how do you think this battle will be fought?" ”

Sun Chuanting smiled slightly: "General Zuo already has a bamboo in his chest, so why bother to ask me?" Zuo Liangyu smiled: "There are too many anti-thieves, and I can't be sure." Sun Chuanting said: "The number of anti-thieves is very large, but there are many people, and they can't move, and the thousands of cavalry under General Zuo are galloping like flying, as long as they see the enemy's weak point and hit violently, the anti-thieves will definitely collapse, and they will take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they can't win, they won't be eaten." ”

Zuo Liangyu nodded, he also thought so: "But your soldiers are all infantry, and the thieves can't eat me, so they may besiege you with all their might." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "General Zuo is right. Therefore, I will not meet the enemy here. ”

Zuo Liangyu asked, "Where are you going?" Sun Chuanting said: "I led people to avoid the main road, bypassed this large group of thieves, and drove directly to the city of Xi'an." Zhang Luo and the others brought tens of thousands of people, and it is estimated that there are not many people in Xi'an City at this time, so I will take people to solve the crisis in Xi'an. Zuo Liangyu was a little displeased. Sun Chuanting saw it and said with a smile: "If General Zuo thinks that I want to grab credit, then I will be too worried." This time you and I divided the troops to attack, are to understand the danger of Xi'an, General Zuo with thousands of cavalry, the enemy of the main force of the anti-thief, I can advance lightly, if it is a meritorious reward, General Zuo's merits, far above me, please General Zuo rest assured, after seeing Lord Hong, I should make it clear. Never steal credit. ”

Zuo Liangyu also understands that Sun Chuanting, a small political participant, will never dare to take credit from himself, and Hong Chengchou is not a fool, this person is very judgmental, so he smiled: "Where do I think this, I am worried, if there are a large number of anti-thieves under Xi'an City, if you go and fail to solve the siege, you will fall into it, and our plan will be in vain." ”

Sun Chuanting was confident: "After I arrived at the city, I will first look at the four gates, which gate has fewer thieves, I will attack which one first, my soldiers have not fought a big battle, a bad battle, so they can't be defeated, first attack the weak enemy, you can boost morale, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, you can ensure a big victory, besides, Lord Hong in the city will definitely send troops out of the city to attack, General Zuo don't have to worry." ”

Zuo Liangyu listened and nodded again and again: "Then you can go, let's see you in Xi'an City." ”

Sun Chuanting gave up his hand, took his team, and took a detour.

Here Zuo Liangyu began to subordinate the troops, he already knew that the peasant army was in front of the cavalry, and he smiled secretly in his heart, a plan has been formed, it stands to reason that when his cavalry begins to attack the infantry, he must choose to break through in the middle, so that the enemy army can be cut into several pieces, and it is difficult to take care of the head and tail. However, Zuo Liangyu used soldiers, unlike others, he was the same as Cao Wenzhao, he liked to deceive and did not play cards according to common sense, so he took more than 2,000 cavalry, went around to ambush behind the peasant army, and sent a partial general with less than 1,000 cavalry to meet the cavalry of the peasant army.

He told the general that when he saw the thieves, he should not attack them suddenly, and when he was here to fight, he would rush forward and entangle the cavalry of the peasant army, and he would not let them come to their aid.

After arranging, Zuo Liangyu led his men and horses to quietly go around behind the peasant army, he did not assault from the center, but waited until the peasant army walked over, and then gave an order, more than 2,000 cavalry rushed out, and beat the ass of the Zhang Luo coalition army.

The peasant army that walked last was listless, as the rear army, they must be the last to enter the war, when the front started, it was not too late for them to prepare here, so they all shrunk their necks, kept their hands warm, carried knives and guns on their backs, and were lazy and slack.

I heard a loud shout not far behind me, and it sounded very crisp in the silence of the mountains and forests. Before these people could come back to their senses, a heavy thunder sounded, shaking the earth and trembling, everyone turned around and looked, behind them rushed over countless war horses, those horses were like dark clouds across the sky, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the swords and guns reflected the morning glow on the horizon, emitting a blood-like brilliance.

At the front of the centaurs, there is a white war horse, the whole body is snow-white, there is not a single miscellaneous hair, the person on the horse is fully armored, majestic, behind him, is a flag officer, holding high the left character flag.

It's not good, it's the official army. It's Zuo Liangyu.

Before these peasant soldiers could hold their swords and guns in their hands, the arrows of the officers and soldiers had already been fired.

Zuo Liangyu's cavalry would shoot arrows on their horses, which was the best shooting distance, and after a rain of arrows, the peasant army fell hundreds of people. Then these officers and soldiers rushed into the peasant army with shouts, slashing and killing, and rampage. Zuo Liangyu took the lead, and the big knife in his hand was like snowflakes, and he was killed immediately.

For a time, the rear army of the peasant army was in chaos and was washed out of shape.

Zuo Liangyu was not a brute rush, he always observed the formation of the peasant army, and ordered his men and horses to maintain the charging formation and not disperse.

More than 2,000 cavalry completely disrupted the rear army of the peasant army.

The rear army was in chaos, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai knew it in the middle, and the two looked back, it was Zuo Liangyu's cavalry team, and they knew that it was not good, so they urgently ordered Li Dingguo to lead the cavalry back to help. The army blew a horn to greet Li Dingguo.

But Li Dingguo had already killed with the officers and soldiers in front of him at this time.

When there was chaos in the back, Li Dingguo reacted very quickly, and immediately wanted to return to help, but Zuo Liangyu's partial general was not a vegetarian, as soon as he saw Li Dingguo leading the army back to leave, he immediately waved his army and rushed forward, although there were only about 1,000 people, but they were all brave, they knew their task, as long as they entangled the cavalry of the peasant army and did not let them come back to help, Zuo Liangyu could defeat tens of thousands of peasant army infantry over there.

Li Dingguo had no choice but to turn over and face the battle.

These thousand officers and cavalry are not fighting to the death, they just entangle Li Dingguo's men and horses, don't let them go, retreat after a few hits, and then wait for you to turn around, they rush up again, or they will release arrows not far away, like fleas, always biting you, but you can't catch them.

Li Dingguo gritted his teeth in anger, he knew that if he couldn't quickly defeat this thousand officers and troops, the infantry and marshals behind him would definitely suffer a big loss, so he ordered no more reinforcements and went all out to attack and kill the enemy in front of him.

The fight here is inexorable, and Zuo Liangyu is already bleeding there.

Because the terrain here is open, it is suitable for cavalry galloping, so Zuo Liangyu killed easily, he shot a series of arrows, shot three peasant army generals, and the two thousand men and horses under his command were like tigers entering the flock, how to kill how to succeed.

For a time, the peasant army was scattered and fled.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were not in vain, and when they saw that the rear army was scattered, they hurriedly ordered the Chinese army to form an arrow array and shoot indiscriminately in the direction of the rear army.

This order is a bit cruel, you know, there are still many peasant armies in the rear army are fighting bloody battles with the official army, and the Chinese army is firing arrows at this time, which is a bit of a meaning that they will die together with the official army.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai are still very brutal in their bones, although they cherish their soldiers, but at this time, they can only do this, otherwise Zuo Liangyu rushed into the Chinese army, which will inevitably cause the whole army to collapse.

The Chinese army quickly organized 500 archers, stood in a formation, and fired arrows at the rear.

Zuo Liangyu saw it and shouted: "The centaurs scattered, dodging the arrows." ”

The 2,000 cavalry immediately scattered and ran away like a wave on a reef, forming a straggler formation, each of whom took off his shield from his back and stood in front of him.

They didn't stay there and let the enemy release their arrows, Zuo Liangyu immediately ordered the men and horses to form a scattered formation and pounce on the Chinese army.

According to the war book, there are only three shots at the enemy, and each archer can only have a chance to shoot three arrows at most, and after the three arrows are shot, the cavalry will rush to the front.

Of course, Zuo Liangyu knew, so he ordered all his strength to pounce on Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's Chinese army.

Two thousand cavalrymen lined up in a dozen long snake formations, like ripples, and rushed towards the Chinese army. Although there were still quite a few people who were shot and fell, the whole formation was getting closer and closer to those archers.

Cold sweat broke out on the tip of Zhang Xianzhong's nose, he hoped that Li Dingguo's men and horses would come in time, but at the moment, it seemed impossible, Li Dingguo's side was also entangled, and now he could only use troops to deal with Zuo Liangyu.
