As soon as Cao Ying's cavalry moved, they were immediately noticed by Li Laiheng.

Due to the heavy losses of Li Laiheng's troops in the battle of Shicai, this time Li Zicheng was responsible for escorting the tail wing of the team with him, and after seeing Cao Yingmao and his party rushing over, he immediately reported to Li Zicheng.

"King Chuang, it's not good, the cavalry battalion has been defeated, and the cavalry of the Jiangning Army is about to charge!"

"I know."

Li Zicheng's face was as heavy as water, his eyes were scorched, and even the hand holding the long knife at his waist was oozing sweat.

He gritted his teeth, took out a small blue flag from his arms and handed it to Li Laiheng: "You must not let this cavalry rush over, Brother Laiheng!" I'm going to hand over the third battalion to you, and I'm going to stop this cavalry, and I can't let them break through, do you understand? ”

After Li Zicheng set up the old eighth battalion, he issued a flag to each battalion, and each flag corresponded to a battalion. Interestingly, the eight flags of the eight battalions correspond to the eight colors of red, blue, white, yellow, red, blue, yellow, and white, which are exactly the same as the eight banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past, and I don't know if it is a coincidence or intention.

After Li Zicheng created the old eight battalions, he set up a rule, except for him himself, anyone who wants to mobilize these eight battalions must hold the corresponding eight flags, so he will hand over this small blue flag to Li Laiheng.

Of course, Li Laiheng understood what the consequences would be if the cavalry of Cao Yingspear rushed into the formation, he took the small blue flag and said in a deep voice: "King Chuang, I understand, as long as I live, I will not let this cavalry rush in." ”

"Okay, there you go!"

Li Laiheng shouted, "Brothers of the third battalion, all come with me!" ”

Bang la blah.

With Li Laiheng's order, 5,000 troops immediately followed him out of the main formation, Li Laiheng took three battalions plus his own headquarters of 8,000 men, formed a long snake formation to block the back, their task was to defend the rear, and never let the cavalry break through their defense line and attack the main formation.

Yang Feng on the city wall saw the stubborn posture of the rogue in a hurry, and sneered: "A thief is a thief, and he doesn't even understand the least common sense, don't they understand that the strength of the cavalry is because of their mobility?" Who stipulated that the cavalry would definitely attack somewhere according to their ideas? ”

Things are indeed as Yang Feng said, after seeing the posture hurriedly put on by Li Laiheng and others, Cao Yingmao sneered and made a long whistle, and thousands of cavalry immediately divided into two parts and bypassed the left and right of Li Laiheng's department, and rushed towards the two wings of the Liukou.

Seeing this, Li Zicheng's face changed greatly, "It's not good, Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi are in danger." ”

At this moment, Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi's troops were storming the infantry of the Jiangning army, although they were beaten by the Jiangning army and suffered heavy losses, but at least they could maintain the offensive posture in front of them, but if they were rushed by the cavalry from behind, it would be a big deal.

"Quick, stop them!" The desperate Li Zicheng could only shout like this.

In Li Zicheng's desperate gaze, this cavalry quickly rushed towards Yuan Zongdi and Liu Zongmin's department, and in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, in less than five minutes, Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi's department didn't even have time to turn completely, and they were rushed to the back by the sudden cavalry.

The power of the running cavalry was so great that it was like a sharp knife squad that easily pierced the two teams that were fighting against the Jiangning army.

"Kill!"

Cao Yingspear placed the long knife diagonally, relying on the speed of the war horse to slash at a rogue, and with the blessing of speed, he easily cut off half of the rogue neck without even using any strength.

When he looked up again, he found that there was no one in front of him.

"Hahaha...... Pleasure ......"

Cao Yingmao was so excited that he raised his head to the sky and roared, turned his horse's head and led the team to rush towards the other side again......

"This bastard, even our work is going to be robbed."

Cao Yingmao was fighting happily, but the horses in the army were so angry that they choked. Lao Tzu fought with them to the death, and he was about to win, but these bastards came to pick peaches, and he couldn't bear it if he was a person, but he couldn't have a seizure yet, and Grandpa Guo was watching from the city wall, no matter how angry he was, he had to endure it.

Seeing that the rogues on both sides were in chaos, Gou Xingma and Yan Di of course knew that the opportunity was rare, and immediately commanded the team to approach.

"Forward!"

Under the command of officers at all levels, the sergeants took their guns and shoulders and began to quickly approach towards the rogues.

"Bang ......"

The battlefield was full of firecrackers and shouts of killing, under the combined attack of the cavalry and infantry phalanx, Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi's headquarters soon collapsed, and countless rogues began to flee in all directions, only hating their father and mother for giving birth to two legs when they gave birth to themselves.

Yuan Zongdi led his guards desperately trying to gather troops to resist, but he found that it was all in vain, the battlefield was chaotic, surrounded by rampaging Jiangning cavalry, and there was a Jiangning army formation in front of him that pressed like a mountain, all of which made everything he did in vain.

Under the desperate protection of his own soldiers, Yuan Zong's first group ran towards Li Zicheng's main formation, in fact, it was not only him, most of the routed rogues ran in this direction.

The group fought desperately, and a henchman comforted while beating the horse: "Master Yuan, it's almost here, and we will be safe when we get to King Chuang's main formation." ”

"I hope so......"

As soon as Yuan Zongdi finished speaking, he heard two gunshots in the distance, and a blood hole as big as a baby's fist suddenly appeared in his chest, which was originally a lead bullet that penetrated the leather armor on his body and pierced his body.

A stream of blood shot out from his chest and back respectively, Yuan Zongdi lowered his head and looked at the hole in his chest, he endured the severe pain and wanted to hold the wound, but no matter how he pressed it, the hot blood still kept gushing out from his fingers, and it was useless to cover it.

"Bumper ......"

Two more gunshots, two lead bullets hit him again, this time Yuan Zongdi fell heavily from the horse's back to the ground, and he was already dead when he landed.

"Yuan Ye ......"

…………

"It's not good to break into the king, Yuan Ye is dead!"

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and watched his men and horses flee in embarrassment like ducks by the Jiang Ning army, and his eyes almost erupted with fire.

This battle was really fought, and his 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses were defeated by less than 20,000 Jiangning troops, and even Yuan Zongdi was killed, can this battle continue?

Just when Li Zicheng was a little undecided, Liu Zongmin, who had retreated, finally ran back to his home formation and found him.

"King Chuang, let's retreat, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, the Jiangning army is too powerful, let's retreat quickly, and take revenge in the future."
