Li Guo has never been as excited as he is today, and if he insists on saying it, it has to be traced back to a few years ago when he killed his enemy for the first time under the leadership of his uncle Li Zicheng.

At that time, he was facing his own personal enmity, but now, the opposite side is constantly attacking and tearing the front of his own army, the public enmity of the entire Liukou group-Cao Jiajun.

The combat effectiveness of the horse army in the front led by Cao Bianjiao is indeed amazing, and since the battle just now and the pursuit of this long-term battle, there is still no sign of exhaustion. The palladium, goose knives, and lacquer spears in their hands flew wantonly, constantly harvesting the lives of the terrified rogues. In just a stick of incense, many small corpses were piled up in the front row of Li Guo's department.

Despite their numbers, the scales of victory did not tip in their favor. When they found that the rudimentary wooden guns, clubs, and knives in their hands did not hurt the officers and cavalry who wore chain mail on the inside, cotton armor on the outside, and even the horses under the crotch had curtains and chest equipment, the collapse of the rogues was inevitable.

After Li Guo took a hundred cavalry to stand in formation, he calmly watched the melee in front of him, and did not have any mercy for those robes who were almost mentally deranged and almost slaughtered. These thousands of people were originally the bait drawn from the battalions under Li Zicheng's arrangement. Their mission is the same as that of those who did it before, and they all exchanged their lives for the mistakes of judgment of the officers and soldiers.

Cao Bianjiao's target was Li Guo, who led the wolf-like cavalry to break through the chaos several times, but was always preempted by the alert Li Guo and escaped into his bush. His intuition told him that his opponent this time was extremely cunning, and if he couldn't cut the grass here, he could foresee the serious consequences of letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

"What's the head of the thief's canal?" Cao Bianjiao's armor and sluice had been stained red by the splash of blood, and he wiped away the bloody eyes with his hands, and asked loudly.

The knights on the left and right were also busy dealing with the overwhelming flow of rogues in front of and behind the horses, but someone still caught Li Guo's banner and shouted back: "My lord, it seems to be 'a tiger'!" ”

"Gotta get it!" When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, raised his hand and turned over a coward, and shouted, "Don't fall in love with war, come with me!" ”

"A tiger" Li Guo's name he has heard, this person is Li Zicheng's nephew, young and old, once in the winter of Chongzhen's fifth year to break Liaozhou and Pang County, famous, he is here to supervise the war, indicating that Li Zicheng is not far away. No matter what medicine he sells in his gourd, as long as he can kill Li Zicheng, it will be like cutting off Gao Yingxiang's arm and giving Shaanxi Liukou a heavy blow. Such a great achievement, it is usually difficult to find, but this time he sent it to the door by himself, how can he let it go.

"It's today!" Cao Bianjiao's blood was churning, and he was suddenly extremely brave. He has been trapped for a long time, and his body has already been filled with arrows, flying hooks and even knives and guns with broken handles, like a hedgehog, but he relies on heavy armor and body protection, and he is stunned that he has not suffered the slightest flesh wound. When the crowd saw that he was still unstoppable like this, they were all very frightened, and thought that the living Yama was still alive.

The rogues still maintain an absolute advantage in numbers, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that compared to the officers and cavalry who clash left and right like a sharp blade, the defeat of the rogues who are like a swarm of ants has been revealed.

Looking at the indomitable Cao Bianjiao, the rogues who immediately watched changed color, shook their heads and sighed: "I have heard that the officials and soldiers of the Cao Department are not good at stubble, which is as strong as this." They are less than a thousand of them have such power, and if there are thousands, today will be the time of our death. ”

Li Guo didn't answer, didn't move at all, and looked straight at the waves set off in the military formation. He said left and right: "Delay the incense stick for another time, and then retreat." ”

Hearing this, the left and right looked at each other, in their opinion, at present, there is no order in their own army, and the trend of covering the nest is clear, saying that it is still lenient to insist on half a stick of incense, how dare they expect to double the time?

Continued to flee from Li Guo's horse. At first, the horsemen subconsciously slashed with their swords to set an example, but later, they could only choose to give up in the face of the robes that poured into the embankment.

The resistance on the front line gradually became sporadic, and the pressure on Cao Bianjiao and others was reduced a lot. After fighting for so long, his outer armor was stained with blood, and his inner lining was soaked with sweat, and from time to time heat rushed up from his abdomen and down the gap between the armor around his neck.

He didn't know how many times he had swung it, and his right arm holding the hilt was extremely sore, and even the blade of the fine waist knife was covered with chipped blades.

"No need to chase anymore!" Cao Bianjiao took two breaths, threw the broken knife, and took out the spare knife from his waist, instructing left and right, "This kind of miscellaneous coward, it is useless to chase after it." Take a break for the time being, but keep an eye on the thief, and Hugh tells them to slip away. ”

Although the officers and soldiers under Cao Bianjiao are fierce, they are also fleshy people in the end, although they are not seriously injured, but they have been wearing thick armor and driving for a long time, and they are already tired, and even the mounts under their crotches have a lot of white foam at the corners of their mouths, drooping their heads. If the fight continues like this, if the man does not die, the horse will die of exhaustion.

At that moment, Cao Bianjiao led people to a nearby open space, and a few people who were really tired simply jumped off the horse and lay down on the ground. Only a handful of people stood guard on the perimeter.

Rao is like this, the rogues still don't dare to come forward to invite the attack, they are afraid of the opponent's strong combat power, and those who did not escape formed a formation again a hundred steps away to watch.

At this moment, Li Guo shouted and urged the horse out. When the cavalry on the left and right saw him in battle, they didn't have time to think about it, so they followed closely.

The rogue infantry in front parted a crack and made way for them. The horse's hooves were galloping, and after only a short while, they were close to Cao Bianjiao and others.

"The thieves are here again!"

Cao Bianjiao looked at it kindly, turned over on his horse, and said hatefully: "This group of flies that can't be killed and can't be killed, I will definitely take you this time!" ”

He was about to rush out, but the soldiers in front of the horse grabbed the reins and said: "The generals have little rest, and the thieves are cunning, and they are clearly trying to make the soldiers tired." Drying him is only a hundred horses, ragged clothes, how can our army's iron cavalry opponent, can draw fifty people, and disperse it when it is close. ”

As soon as Cao Bianjiao was told by him, he calmed down, and immediately commanded fifty horsemen to attack.

Li Guo waited for the other party to come out of the horse, and sure enough, he turned the horse and left, and put a round of arrows indiscriminately before leaving, which was useless. The fifty horsemen saw that the rogue was so weak, and they each despised it, and among them even knew that the first one was Li Zicheng's subordinate Li Guo, and they all wanted to fight for his head to make great contributions.

Cao Bianjiao's original intention was to drive away Li Guo's cavalry nearby and buy rest time for his main force, but the fifty cavalry sent out were like an evil spirit, chasing farther and farther, knowing that something was wrong, and then trying to recall it, but there was nothing they could do.

Li Guo fished the fifty cavalry and retreated towards his own front, but the fifty cavalry did not care about the vulnerable rogue infantry, and they only had Li Guo's head in their eyes.

Once again, the rogue infantry dodged the way and let their own cavalry in, but in the face of the fifty cavalry in hot pursuit, there was still a commotion as always. The fifty horsemen roared and rushed into the formation as if no one was around, splitting through one chaotic wall after another.

"A thief is a thief!" The contemptuous voice sounded in the hearts of the officers and cavalry again, and the rogues around them were still like paper paste, and the screams filled their ears. However, these fierce officers and soldiers did not notice that as they entered the battle deeper and deeper, they were like entering a swamp, and their mobility became weaker and weaker, until the horses sitting down had completely stopped their steps, and they woke up like a dream.

Raising his eyes, the surroundings were all black and crowded with human heads, all kinds of weapons held in the air like a dense forest, not far away, Li Guo and other horsemen who were originally pursued by themselves also pulled the horse, looked back.

Eight hundred horsemen still had enough force to penetrate this boundless sea of people, and now, they were only fifty horsemen, and they felt fear for the first time after the disparity in numbers reached this point.

"Brothers, those who win the first rank of the official army will be rewarded with 100 gold!" Li Guo lost no time in loudly agitating his restless men, and the dense crowd heard the sound and surged towards the isolated officers and soldiers.

The fifty cavalry officers and soldiers tightened their reins and looked around for a gap to get out, but suddenly heard a sharp and piercing whistle from nowhere, and then more than a dozen hemp rope sleeves flew over, and dragged seven or eight officers and soldiers off their horses on the spot.

The officers and soldiers who fell off their horses had not yet come to their senses, and countless weapons had already pierced them, and they were thick in armor, and it was impossible to resist the attack at this time, accompanied by the wails of the officers and soldiers and the excited shouts of the rogues, these people became the first batch of officers and cavalry killed in battle.

Cao Bianjiao looked at it from a distance, but when he saw that the weapons in the formation were like a forest and the figures were chaotic, he didn't know what the situation of his subordinates in the battle was. It wasn't until the end that Li Guo and his gang came out of battle again and threw dozens of bloody heads in front of him, and he couldn't believe that the fifty horsemen who had followed him for several years and fought bloodily for themselves and for the Cao family army were all killed here!

"bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Cao Bianjiao was furious, flew on his horse, and led the rest of the troops to rush towards Li Guo, who was showing off his might. Li was prepared too early and turned his horse away.

This time, Cao Bianjiao seemed to be really provoked, and he was determined to destroy Li Guo.

Li Guo once again hid in the formation, but did not stay as before, but beckoned left and right, broke away from the foot soldiers and continued to run east. The angry torrent of Cao Bianjiao's troops generally broke the scattered line of Liukou foot soldiers, and continued to pursue non-stop.

The two sides chased each other for nearly ten miles, only to see that the mountains and forests on both sides were becoming denser and denser, but Cao Bianjiao couldn't care so much, if he didn't kill this Li Guo today, not to mention that the prestige of the Cao family army was ruined by himself, Yu Xin also had to give an explanation to the fifty subordinates who died in battle.

Just as he was thinking, a cannon explosion suddenly sounded in the dense forest, and then arrows rained down, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers fell from their horses and died.

Cao Bianjiao was excited, knowing that there was fraud, he quickly turned his horse to dodge, the left and right cannons sounded again and again, deafening, and the officers and soldiers sat down and the war horses were frightened, and they hesitated back and forth, and they could no longer catch up at all.

After several rounds of arrow rain, more than 20 officers and soldiers were killed and wounded, and many war horses were also shot dead and wounded.

"It turns out that I'm here to set up a trap." Cao Bianjiao gritted his teeth and thought. Although he was young and vigorous, Cao Bianjiao was not so reckless that he was dizzy, the other party was well prepared, and he didn't want his brother to be exposed to the blows of long-range weapons until he figured out the situation.

At this time, relying on the cover of a rock and tall grass, the officers and soldiers can still protect themselves, but they have to make an idea quickly whether to fight or go. Cao Bianjiao observed the surroundings and found that the terrain here was narrow, and the rocks and shrubs were overgrown, which was not conducive to the impact of hundreds of cavalry under his subordinates.

"Good Li Guo, good Li Zicheng."

The subordinates all dismounted, and scattered in all directions to hide. The sporadic arrows on the Liukou's side still occasionally fired, but it could be seen that they were not willing to shoot in the face of the officers and soldiers who were dodging. Cao Bianjiao pondered carefully, although his own troops were caught off guard, but his vitality was not injured, and with excellent equipment and strong combat effectiveness, the melee may not be lost to the rogue. As long as he could hold out until his uncle's foot soldiers arrived, he was fully confident that he would be able to break through the encirclement of the rogues again.

Immediately after hearing two more cannon shots, the officers and soldiers subconsciously raised their heads and looked around, only to see countless flags erected one after another in the mountains and forests that were still calm, and the sound of shouting and killing filled the entire sky, and countless rogues rushed down from the slopes in the mountains and forests. In such terrain, it was difficult to organize large-scale formations, so they did not have to worry that the scattered formations used for melee battles would be broken by the officers and troops.

"Straight lady thief, there are really two hits." Cao Bianjiao looked at the rogues who appeared one after another like ants and locusts, and sneered, and then he passed down the order, "Take the team as a unit, fight separately, and those who retreat without permission will be killed!" "A cavalry team of twenty-five people, fighting with this unit, should not be broken by each of the rogues.

This place is not conducive to galloping, so at the moment, Cao Bianjiao and others are tied to the horse and fight. As he expected, even without the advantage of mobility, the rogue would have no chance of winning by foot combat alone. The first group of rogues who had killed the downhill slope quickly retreated, and the officers and troops took advantage of the situation to occupy several favorable terrains.

They formed a circle or a crescent moon to protect their horses from the rogues, but the unbridled flying axes and hammers still hit the horses mercilessly. The purpose of the rogues is very clear, that is, to annihilate all the officers and soldiers here. Although the officers and soldiers who fought in danger were able to withstand the waves of rogue bandits like a tide, their physical strength was also constantly being consumed.

The two sides fought fiercely, and Cao Bianjiao suddenly saw a group of people in the distance, and the banner lineup of Guanzhi was not his uncle Cao Wenzhao? The spirit was rejuvenated, and he was about to loudly boost the morale of his subordinates, but another group of people came out of nowhere, cutting off both sides.
