Looking at the cavalry who still did not stop charging despite suffering casualties, Cao Yingmao, who was originally calm, was also taken aback: "No, when did the Liukou become so capable of fighting, looking at their successive soldiers, the level of bravery is almost comparable to that of the Manchu Tartars." ”

"General, the thieves are rushing over." Someone next to him shouted loudly, at this time the cavalry of the old battalion had rushed to the front of the cavalry, and the cavalry of the Jiangning Army who had originally dismounted and shot had remounted their horses, and someone in the front had already begun to throw 10,000 enemies.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The 10,000 enemies kept exploding among the cavalry, and the cavalry continued to fall off their horses, but the people behind continued to attack.

"Whoosh...... Whoosh ......"

A rain of arrows shot out of the charging cavalry, most of them hit the armor of the Jiangning cavalry, making a crisp metal crashing sound, but there were also unlucky cavalrymen who fell from their horses with arrows in the neck or in the face.

Seeing this, Cao Yingmao's eyes were red, and he took out the long knife on his waist and shouted: "Go up and kill all these thieves!" ”

"Kill!"

The two cavalry collided head-on, and because the two sides were in contact with each other, at this time the Brown Beth Fire Gun and the 10,000 enemies were completely useless, and the cavalry of both sides brandished cold weapons and fought together on the not spacious official road.

It's just that both sides feel that something is wrong, and now the battle place between the two sides is on the official road, and on both sides of the official road are ditches and rugged and steep wilderness, such terrain is not suitable for large-scale cavalry duels, so no matter how the two sides fight, the two sides can only contact the front hundreds of cavalry, so that the front has become like a meat grinder, constantly consuming the lives of the cavalry on both sides.

Seeing this, Cao Yingmao and Li Zicheng realized that this cavalry duel would turn into a meaningless tactic to add fuel if it was not done well.

But whether it is Cao Yingmao or Li Zicheng, they can only continue to fight, because they both know very well that the battle has already been fought to this point, and if anyone retreats, it will be equivalent to exposing his back to the other party, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Phew!"

A cavalryman of the Jiangning Army waved the long knife in his hand and slashed at the body of a rogue, and the sharp long knife broke through the armor on the rogue's body, splitting the rogue's mouth into a big hole, and the rogue's let out a terrible cry and fell off the horse.

The cavalryman was about to ride his horse forward, but a dark shadow flashed in the corner of his eye, and he felt bad and fell down without thinking, knowing that as soon as he lowered his head, he felt a heavy blow on his back and made a muffled sound.

He turned his head to see that it was a thief who gave him a knife in the back, and fortunately his armor was a full-body plate armor with good protection, whether it was the material or the production process, it was too high compared to the armor of this era, and this knife did not hurt much except for the pain in his back.

But this was not the time for this, and without thinking, the cavalryman who had escaped death stretched out his left hand and pulled a three-eyed firearm from his waist and pulled the trigger on the rogue coward.

There was only a muffled sound of "bump", and the rogue, who was holding his long knife high and was about to give him another knife, froze for a moment, and then fell heavily from his horse and fell to the ground.

And this gunshot reminded the surrounding cavalry that now the two sides have been mixed together, and due to the restrictions of the terrain, it is impossible to give full play to the rapid mobility of the cavalry.

But after seeing the companion kill the thief on the opposite side with a handcuff, the surrounding cavalry immediately woke up, although the Brown Beth Fire Gun is difficult to reload and inconvenient to use in the melee, let alone ten thousand enemies, this kind of group lethal weapon does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy as soon as it explodes, and the use of it in the melee is simply looking for death, but the handcuff is different.

Although the three-eyed handcuffs equipped by the Jiangning Army are far inferior to the Brown Beth Fire Guns in terms of power and range, in this case, the three-eyed handcuffs are simply a sharp weapon in the melee.

I don't know who took out the three-eyed gun first, and the thief cavalry in front of him pulled the trigger, with a muffled sound, the thief who was swinging the mace and was smashing down at him was shocked, and there was immediately a thumb-sized hole in the armor on his chest, and then he was stunned for a moment, and the mace weighing more than ten pounds in his hand also slipped from his hand, and the whole person fell off the horse like a heavy sack.

Since the shots were fired, what else is there to be polite, the first gunshot sounded as if it was a signal, and soon the dense gunshots like fried beans immediately rose one after another, and the thieves and cavalry at the forefront fell off their horses like dumplings, and in less than a few minutes, the group of thieves in the front was quickly emptied of a large area, and at least more than a hundred cavalrymen were shot down and dismounted.

"Dog officers and soldiers, actually use firearms!"

Li Zicheng, who was commanding in the back, was dumbfounded, this was his most important old battalion soldier.

These cavalrymen were all personally selected by him from the old eight battalions, the bravest and most loyal elites, and belonged to those who were willing to die for him as long as he gave the order.

On weekdays, they enjoy the best food, the most beautiful women, and the best weapons and armor, in order to get together the equipment of these people, Li Zicheng almost racked his brains, especially it is not an easy task to gather five thousand war horses for these people.

It can be said that these 5,000 cavalry is his most fundamental strength, even if others die Li Zicheng doesn't care, but this cavalry can't, he is Li Zicheng's foundation, and it is also where his hope for a comeback lies, but now this cavalry was shot down by the Jiangning army on the opposite side like a wild duck, and Li Zicheng felt as if someone was cutting his flesh with a knife.

What made his heart drip even more was that after firing the guns of the Jiang Ning army in front of him, he immediately rode his horse back as if he had made an appointment, and the cavalry behind immediately stepped up, rushed to the front, raised the three-eyed firearm in his hand, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

With the sound of gunfire one after another, their cavalry continued to fall off their horses, although the cavalry behind desperately wanted to rush up and mix with the other party, but the other party's cavalry was too vicious, not giving their cavalry a chance to approach, their own cavalry did not rush to the front of the opponent's handcuffs one by one to shoot down the horse, it looked as if they went up to die.

At this time, the rogue-like thinking hidden in Li Zicheng's bones immediately emerged, this cavalry is his lifeblood, and it is also the hope of his rise, and it must not be extinguished here.

Unable to think calmly anymore, he roared loudly without thinking: "Quick...... Blowing the trumpet ordered a retreat...... Hurry up and retreat......"

Soon, a desolate horn sounded on the official road.
