，！

In the early afternoon, the two cavalry finally lined up and began to fight against each other.

The battle of more than 1,500 horsemen was like a landslide and the earth cracked, making the sun and the moon dull.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves covered all the sounds of the city, and the people and Fuzhou troops who helped the city head were shouting for the Xuanjia cavalry, but when the cavalry ran, there was no sound that could suppress the sound of the cavalry charging and galloping.

The horse's hooves flew over, the sound was like thunder, and the two sides began to hedge at a distance of about three or four miles, and after the distance of Lixu, everyone saw that the flag of the Xuanjia cavalry was pointed down a little, and it seemed that there was still a bang, and all the cavalry's long swords were flattened, and the horizontal swords were raised.

The thief rider on the opposite side let out a terrifying shouting sound, and also raised the messy long weapon in his hand on the horse's back.

The weapons on both sides were so dazzling, coupled with the horses rushing forward, the might, determination, and the boundless pressure of the cavalry when they charged, that all the people in the city were disgraced.

Above the city, there are still hundreds of forbidden troops who have just entered the city, and they were not too convinced by the Zhongshan army, which is because Liu Guangsi and others have always had a lot of criticism of the Zhongshan army, which also indirectly affected the ordinary soldiers below.

The defeat of the forbidden army this time is not without the strength of a battle, but the lack of food and salary of the Xiang army, and was treated harshly by Zhao Wang and others, many Xiang army officers and soldiers have long held back the fire in their bellies, just waiting to defect in front of the battle, the Xiang army defected, the forbidden army instantly fell into the embarrassing situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, even so, it was fought until the evening Fang Li could not support, surrounded by the opponent's tenfold army, there were still many forbidden troops to break out of the encirclement, fled back to Fuzhou.

On the battlefield, as long as there is a slight change, it is likely to be a different ending.

When they saw the Xuanjia cavalry appear, the officials and gentry and the people cheered, and the soldiers of the forbidden army had a sense of injustice, but when they saw the cavalry playing horses and hedging, many forbidden troops were also shocked.

The layman looks at the lively, the insider looks at the doorway, the forbidden army is all foot soldiers, and the cavalry is used scattered, so to speak, except for the Hebei Forbidden Army, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops do not have the tradition of centralized use of cavalry.

At this moment, seeing the power of the cavalry forming a hedge, the forbidden army, as a foot soldier, was naturally shocked and changed.

If they are standing on the battlefield and are charged straight by such ironclad cavalry, how many people can stand calmly and not afraid of enemy attacks?

When the two sides had reached within 200 paces, the thieves began to throw arrows on their horses.

A large number of arrows rose into the air, floating in the air, and then swept towards them one after another, landing on the head of the Xuanjia rider who was coming on the opposite side.

Heavy arrows hit the armor rider one after another, the top of the head, the neck, the back, the chest, everywhere the arrows fell, the arrows fell on the iron armor, making a percussion-like clanging sound.

The Darkarmor Cavalry did not fight back, they were not archers, and they did not have a training subject for archery on horses, and when fighting with infantry or pursuits, the Darkarmor Cavalry would shoot light infantry with light crossbows or defeated enemies, and there was a precedent for actual combat when engaging the natives.

But when it comes to hedging, you only use the horizontal knife and the long sword in your hand, and the rest are not used!

Under the eyes of everyone at the head of the city, the Xuanjia cavalry seemed to be a small boat in the sea at the mercy of the stormy waves, the arrows fell like rain, and the thieves became more and more powerful...... Everyone had solemn faces, and Chen Jingzhong's face was even more sneering...... What kind of Xuanjia heavy cavalry, I'm afraid that I will be defeated by a thief!

In the eyes of a few people, they only saw that the thieves and horses were getting more and more chaotic, the middle and the two wings were obviously disconnected, and there was a large gap, even if it was the middle formation and the two wing arrays, the distance between the cavalry was getting bigger and bigger.

Some are too protruding, some are gradually falling behind, the riding array from a relatively neat zigzag, gradually into a state of dog's teeth staggered, under the smoke and dust trampled out of the war horses, the thief riding array became more and more scattered.

And under the smoke and dust of the Xuanjia rider on the opposite side, the riding array is still intact!

The beginning of the run is a zigzag, the knights are very closely apart, and some of the soldiers are still laughing in their hearts, of course, it is important that the queue is neat when the riding formation is hedged, but I have not heard of the cavalry formation that can be maintained when running fiercely, and the queue that is too dense at the beginning is not necessary.

But when the Xuanjia Rider had already run out of two miles, less than two hundred steps away from the thief, and the Chang Ji of both sides seemed to be able to intersect with each other, the Xuanjia Rider's riding formation was still quite complete!

This strange situation made many officials who knew the soldiers, including Lin Douyao, stunned!

Anyone with a little common sense of military knowledge knows how important and difficult it is to keep a queue when the cavalry is hedging!

"The banner, the banner of the King of Zhongshan!"

Someone suddenly shouted, when the cavalry was about to touch, the banner of Xu Zixian, the king of Zhongshan, suddenly appeared on the south side, near the bank of the Min River.

At this time, everyone woke up, many people are looking in the southeast direction, that is the boundary of Minqing County by the sea, if the army comes from the Eastern Domain, Penghu, it is bound to march from the official road over there, saying that it is a treacherous way, but without the support of official roads and logistics, how can thousands or even tens of thousands of troops sneak?

In the direction of Quanzhou, the mountains are winding, and the official roads are all mountain roads carved out on the top of the mountain, and the roads are difficult and long, and it is not suitable for the army to hide and march at all.

Everyone's eyes have been focused on the sea, but they really forgot about the opposite side of the Min River.

Across the river, is Qizhou!

Yang Shiwei suddenly realized, the old prefect's face was full of excitement, and he faced the people present: "As soon as the banner is erected, the old man understands that the main elite of the Zhongshan Mansion Army has long been hidden in the port of Qizhou. ”

Zheng Liqi's face was also full of excitement, and he said with a smile: "Sure enough, Your Highness will never sit idly by and watch the military and civilians of Fuzhou suffer!" ”

"King Zhongshan is really my pillar in Fuzhou."

"It is also my Fujian Road, and even the southeast pillar."

"Open the mansion, Your Highness will open the mansion and guard the southeast for the imperial court."

This time, it can be regarded as a crowd of voices, and everyone agrees together.

The so-called prestige is quite mysterious. The previous King of Qi had prestige, but there had never been any gentry, students, and wealthy businessmen who wanted to invite the King of Qi to open a mansion.

One is that the power of King Qi comes from the imperial court system and is not self-contained. Second, the king of Qi will never give people the "unexpected joy" in front of him, and the third is that the king of Zhongshan has his own lineage, and his power does not come from the imperial court, and everyone also understands in their hearts that due to the exclusion and suppression of the Son of Heaven and the two governments before this, the current war, the king of Zhongshan does not care about it, and it is not completely unreasonable.

At this time, the king of Zhongshan sent cavalry first, and then saw Wang Xu's banner, obviously the Zhongshan army of the Eastern Domain had been exhausted!

Thinking about the king of Zhao who abandoned the army and fled first from the battlefield, the officials, gentry, merchants, the common people, the box army, and the people at the head of the city, etc., all of them were moved to tears.

But Xu Ziwen and the others could only shrink into the crowd again.

When the banner was raised, the two cavalry were already nearly two hundred paces, and such a small distance, even on foot, was only a matter of time, not to mention the highest cavalry with horse speed?

While the people at the head of the city were cheering, the middle of the two cavalry also collided viciously!

And the brigade rode in formation, like a raging storm and rain, and like a falling mountain rock, as fast as thunder, straight into the enemy's cavalry formation!

At this time, the advantage of maintaining the array of the Xuanjia cavalry was revealed, almost every thief cavalry felt that they were facing more than three enemies, and the distance between each Xuanjia cavalry and the partner was still not more than one step, while the cavalry on the opposite side was sparsely scattered, some were several steps apart, some were too close, the array was also front and back, and the front of the Xuanjia cavalry was neat and tidy, at the beginning of the collision between the two sides, the thief cavalry was everyone with fewer enemies, and fell into the fiasco of being destroyed and decayed.

Crackling explosions sounded one after another, as if the army was releasing a cannon, and the war horses were huddled together at high speed, making a huge noise.

The knight flew into the air, and the sound of falling to the ground was followed by the crumbling of the ribs and leg bones of the horse, or the sound of being directly trampled in the chest, and the popping sound of the abdomen was different one after another, followed by the muffled snort, screaming, roaring, and moaning of the people.

The whole battlefield is so violent, heroic, tragic, almost in the moment of hedging, less than forty people on the Xuanjia cavalry fell off the horse, and after the two rows of Xuanjia cavalry swept by, there were at least three or four hundred thieves who were stabbed by the long sword, or stabbed into the war horse, or directly stabbed to death, or fell under the horse and were trampled to death by their own side or the enemy's war horse, even if it was extremely lucky, not dead for a while, it was also a loud and miserable moan, many people were trampled on the chest, or stepped on the abdomen, the stomach and intestines were all over the ground, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the shape was extremely tragic, After a hedge, the scene was filled with a strong bloody atmosphere, and the number of thieves who were killed on the spot and fell to the ground almost directly crossed the middle formation of the thieves, and even the array of the two wings was also disrupted, and there were still thousands of thieves in a large force, but they rushed by, and they didn't dare to fight with the Xuanjia cavalry that the array was still complete.

Except for a small number of Xuanjia cavalry who were stabbed by the enemy, or tripped and fell off their horses by the enemy's fallen soldiers and war horse corpses, most of the cavalry soldiers were intact, only a few were slightly injured, and most of them had no loss at all......

Yang Shiwei, who had white eyebrows, showed a shocked look on his face, the short and concise Zheng Liqi was also speechless, and Chen Dujing slapped the city wall again and again, excited and didn't know what to say!

The rest of the princes, marquis, as well as the gentry in the city, the wealthy merchants, the Xiang army, and the common people, were all stunned, and even felt frightened and inexplicable.

Xu Ziwen, Chen Jingzhong, Chen Jingfu, Xu Gongda and others were also stunned and shaken inexplicably, at this moment, Chen Jingzhong and others couldn't even say a word of criticism.

People's jealousy is always because of experience, identity, and various conceptual reasons, such as people who were originally inferior to themselves, suddenly soaring, and jealousy is inevitable.

Or the original companion, friend, suddenly rich, will also make people sad, jealousy will inevitably arise.

At this moment, the Chen brothers, Xu Gongda, Xu Ziwen and others are even jealous, they either look blank, or shocked, or stunned to look at the cavalry battle under the city wall, they really understand how big the gap between themselves and Xu Zixian, the king of Zhongshan, is.

"The power of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, so much?" Lin Douyao is not completely ignorant of soldiers, he has also served in counties, state capitals and other positions before any marshal, and it is common to beg for thieves when he is serving in the north, so

He can know the situation of the thief like a treasure.

Lin Douyao knows a lot about the situation of the forbidden army, thieves, and the Xiang army.

For the combat power of the Zhongshan Army, Lin Douyao has always estimated that it is about the same as the Forbidden Army, and sometimes he feels that he is still a little overestimated, after all, the Zhongshan Army has not fought a decent hard battle, and most of its opponents are pirates and the like, although there are many victories, many achievements, and there are 20,000 terrifying martial arts in a battle, but after all, all they eat are soft persimmons, not to mention the strong Hu in the north, even if it is with the Liukou who ravaged the Central Plains, Hebei, Hedong and other places, the Zhongshan Army has not fought seriously, and its combat power still needs to be tested again.

Unexpectedly, the result of the battle in front of me was really stunning, and I couldn't understand why.

The thief cavalry, who seems to be light and brave, looks violent, dares to fight and dare to kill, and has rich experience on the battlefield, was actually rushed here?

Although there are still more than 1,000 thieves, they are indeed defeated and fleeing after the impact of the Xuanjia cavalry in front of them, and after the two sides hedge, the thieves on both wings do not dare to turn back at all, but continue to run forward along the middle formation that has been penetrated.

More than a thousand thieves have run into scattered random rides, and there is no longer an array at all.

The Xuanjia cavalry array was complete, and after rushing out of more than 200 steps, it gradually slowed down the horse's speed, and reorganized itself in the flags and whistles, and it was a neat two-row queue, and the iron cavalry after the charge was like a fast knife after polishing, and slowly forced towards the thieves on the opposite side.

In the face of the Xuanjia cavalry that was approaching again, the thief cavalry was obviously quite chaotic, although he was also trying to form a team, but it was like a chaotic bee that had been smashed into the empty nest, flying back and forth in a chaotic manner, but it was always a mess.

At this moment, the main force of the government army that had just crossed the river also bypassed the villages and sparse woodlands, and really appeared in front of the thieves and the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city.

Under the king of Zhongshan, the sergeants of the sheng column, more than 10,000 soldiers marched in the fields, villages, and official roads, and the long and horizontal swords were like a forest, and a large number of gray-robed sergeants were strictly entrenched, under the guidance of countless military flags, the soldiers who had been bound up in armor lined up in a neat and uniform queue, and in the sound of high drums, they marched in unison, marching towards the battlefield where the cavalry was fighting.

In front of everyone's eyes, everything in front of them is simply a spectacle.

More than 10,000 troops, uniformly dressed, clear banners, the forbidden army can also do it.

However, the rectification of the troops, the strictness of the troops, and the strictness of the ranks are things that the forbidden army cannot do.

Lin Douyao, Yang Shiwei, Zheng Liqi, Chen Dujing, Chen Duguang, Chen Duli, Chen Duming and others all burst into tears...... There was a fiasco of the army before, and then there were thieves and horsemen besieging the city, and the people in the city were panicked, and these red-robed adults were worried, fearful, and more humiliating.

The dynasty is sluggish, the people of the Great Wei are not attached, and the local people are in turmoil, including the center of the imperial court...... In fact, everyone knows these things, but everyone did not expect that in a wealthy place like Fujian Road, there will be thieves, destroying the main force of the forbidden army, annihilating most of the Xiang army, and besieging the city.

Prior to this, there were pirates who invaded the territory, and the officials also planned to defend themselves in the city. But at that time, there was not much worry and shame, because pirates ruled the world, blackmailing all countries, South, East, and West, and there was more than one country that looked up to pirates. Here in Dawei, there are no pirates stationed on one side like Kang Tianqi, as if it is a matter of the princes of one side. The pirates couldn't get up and loot and retreated, otherwise the imperial court would have transferred a few troops at will, would the pirates still be able to fight with the forbidden army in the wilderness?

No matter what happened before, all the officials had a calm and confident attitude, but this siege of the Liukou was very traumatic to everyone's psychology. The army is completely wiped out, the court is powerless, and it can't be counted on in a short time, and I'm afraid that when the court sends troops to come, it can only collect the corpses of himself and others, and there is no other possibility.

Even if Liukou got Fuzhou and Quanzhou, the strength increased greatly, and the main force of the imperial court was trapped in the Northern Expedition, whether it could raise an army of more than 100,000 people, as well as the relevant food and salary to crusade, is also unknown, it is very likely that Li Kaiming will be difficult to control, become a big trouble in the south, and even divide the south.

Before seeing the appearance of the Zhongshan army, the princes on the city wall were already quite desperate, and many knowledgeable officials, gentry, and merchants were also mostly like this.

Many people plan to quickly take their families and gold and silver before the thieves can close the siege, and flee to Quanzhou through the official road of the mountain streams to the counties of Quanzhou and Lianjiang, which is also Weiyi's way of survival.

As for the difficult mountain road, many people will be chased and killed by thieves when they flee for their lives, and various accidents occur, and how many people can survive in the end can only be left to the will of God.

When making these calculations, even a man whose heart is as hard as a stone can't help but feel sour.

At this time, I saw the flag of the government army all over the mountains, and the grandeur of the military was moving, and then I saw the Wang Xu of the King of Zhongshan standing tall, and then closer, I saw Xu Zi riding a white horse standing under Wang Xu, wearing a distant crown, wearing the dragon robe of the prince's black four dragons, which is the crown dress that the prince of this dynasty will wear when the great dynasty will be in the great dynasty and the great expedition.

And when everyone saw Xu Zixian, who was wearing the crown uniform of Prince Wei presiding over the great expedition, and came on horseback, even the man burst into tears.
