Li Laiheng said with a gloomy face: "King Chuang, now that the weather is hot, those mud legs can't be suppressed. ”

Liu Zongmin snorted lightly: "I don't like to hear Brother Li's words, I don't believe it, these mud legs can still turn the sky upside down, if someone really dares to make trouble, I don't mind transferring the old camp to play and suppress." As long as the last batch is killed, the rest is estimated to be honest. ”

"Never."

Li Laiheng was anxious and said to Li Zicheng.

"King Chuang, our righteous army can't do such a dirty thing, once it is done, the reputation of the righteous army will be completely ruined, who else will join our righteous army in the future?"

Liu Zongmin was sneering in his heart, due to the rush of time, the matter of the slaughter of Jiading County had not yet reached Li Laiheng's ears, if Li Laiheng knew that Li Zicheng didn't even blink his eyes when he gave the order to slaughter the city, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said so.

Liu Zongmin stopped talking and turned his head to look at Li Zicheng.

Sure enough, I only listened to Li Zicheng: "Brother Laiheng's concerns are naturally right, but when is it now?" The Jiangning army is pressing behind step by step, if we don't hurry up and take Suzhou, we will only have a dead end when the Jiangning army behind catches up. ”

Hearing Li Zicheng say this, Li Laiheng was silent, he is not a stupid person, of course he knows that in the face of life and death, any righteousness and reputation are false, and being able to live is the last word.

"Touching ......"

A gunshot could be heard faintly in the distance.

The faces of the three of them changed in unison.

Li Laiheng was surprised: "Didn't you just send a team of people to stop it, why did the Jiang Ning Army catch up so quickly?" ”

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Then send people again, and they must not be allowed to catch up." Brother Laiheng, this time it's your turn, you will immediately send five hundred ...... No...... When a thousand people pass, they must stop the Jiang Ning army for at least two hours. ”

Liu Laiheng gritted his teeth: "Cheng, I'll do my best." ”

"It's not about trying, it's about doing it. If there are not enough for 1,000 people, 2,000 people will be 2,000, and if 2,000 people are not enough, 3,000, do you understand? Li Zicheng grabbed his arm, stared at his eyes and said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, you must keep the Jiang Ning Army behind for two hours."

After Li Laiheng finished speaking, he hurried down......

After Li Laiheng went out, Li Zicheng turned to Liu Zongmin and said: "Brother Zongmin, you immediately send all your men and horses to be the supervising team, let the team speed up, and be sure to rush to Suzhou tomorrow, but if you are afraid, you will not be killed!" ”

"Understood!"

A fierce light flashed in Liu Zongmin's eyes, and he urged the horse away.

"I hope Brother Laiheng can buy us more time" Li Zicheng looked up at the sky, now it was the unitary time, and the sky should be dark in two hours.

In this era when communication is basically based on roaring, night combat is a very taboo thing for both the enemy and us, and in night battles, the commander's control over the troops is also the lowest.

Therefore, as long as it is night, both sides will invariably stop fighting, which may be an established convention.

It's just that Li Zicheng soon found that his thoughts were still too optimistic, and just half an hour later, the sound of fire and shouting behind not only did not weaken, but became closer to them.

The experienced Li Zicheng immediately realized that Li Laiheng must be in trouble.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately personally led five thousand cavalry to the back,

Li Zicheng was right, Li Laiheng was indeed in trouble this time, because he encountered a fierce attack from the Jiangning army, and thousands of cavalry were violently attacking the defense line formed by the rogues.

Under the fierce attack of the cavalry, this line of defense has long been crumbling and may be broken at any moment.

The crowded roads were filled with shouts of killings, gunshots, and explosions.

The Jiangning Army's attack was still so sharp, full of the Jiangning Army's unique domineering. Although Li Laiheng encountered cavalry this time and did not carry artillery, the rows of thunderous firecrackers and the explosions of 10,000 enemies still hit the rogue who was responsible for blocking the attack and threw away his armor.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, it is impossible to invest too many people at one time, in this half an hour, Li Laiheng put his soldiers and horses into it one by one like adding fuel tactics, but it was only to buy more than half an hour for the large army, seeing that the last line of defense was about to be breached, Li Laiheng closed his eyes in despair.

"That's it, I'll leave my life here this time, and it can be regarded as living up to King Chuang's trust in me."

Just as Li Laiheng was about to launch the final counter-charge with hundreds of his own soldiers towards the Jiangning Army in front, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from the boat behind him, and he couldn't help but look back, a flag fluttering in the wind, and the person at the head was not Li Zicheng but who was.

"King Chuang is here, King Chuang is here with the old eight battalions in person!"

The surrounding rogues cheered as if they saw a savior, in the hearts of many rogues, the most elite soldiers and horses under Li Zicheng is his old eighth battalion, which belongs to the old battalion that he personally commanded and composed of cavalry, this cavalry with a total of 5,000 people can be said to be Li Zicheng's heart, whenever the battle situation is the most difficult, the most need to break through Li Zicheng will personally lead this team to fight, and this old battalion rarely lives up to their hopes, generally speaking, they can always achieve good results and victories every time they go out.

Seeing the old camp arrive, Li Laiheng hurriedly ordered his subordinates to get out of the way.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of cavalry led by him rushed along the official road towards the Jiangning army on the opposite side.

"Fire!"

Jiang Ningjun was also unceremonious, they didn't know any old battalions, seeing that the other party had increased troops here, and it was a rare cavalry, the leader of the thousand generals immediately commanded the cavalry who had already dismounted and pulled the trigger on the cavalry that rushed over.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

In a deafening burst of gunfire, puffs of white smoke rose up, and the whistling lead bullets pierced the air and struck the more than twenty horsemen who rushed to the front, and the huge impact sent these cavalrymen flying away from their mounts and falling to the ground.

"Shoot!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Shooting ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

At least seventy or eighty cavalrymen were shot and fell to the ground, but the cavalry behind them still rushed towards them with fearless horses.

"Shhh...... Where did this cavalry come from, so brave? ”

Cao Yingmao, who had just arrived at the forefront, couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the cavalry counterattack on the opposite side was so brave, he knew the virtue of the rogue best, but after the outlaws who rushed to the front died, even if the people behind did not disperse, they would become cowering, and they would not rush as if they had no emotions and disregarded casualties like the cavalry on the opposite side.
