Chapter 664: Wrath of the Lich King

Seeing the billowing smoke rising upstream, Sun Shoufa immediately ordered reinforcements.

Zhang Xianzhong took the lead.

As the commander of the guard battalion, although he and Li Zicheng disagree with each other, their personal relationship is still very good, after all, he is also the second general of the Zhennan Wang, who is worried about Li Zicheng's accident, he led his subordinates 500 plate cavalry of the Yishui Horse Warima, and quickly rushed to the upstream crossing point and stepped on the ice to pass the Daqing River......

But I can't see Li Zicheng anymore.

In front of him there were only burning reeds, and in the midst of the raging flames and billowing smoke, he could see scattered dead bodies on the ground.

Zhang Xianzhong did not hesitate to crash into the sea of fire.

The torrent of plate cavalry advanced at full speed along the middle path in the scorching fire, and kept encountering the regimental drills fleeing with the flames, but they were immediately knocked down and trampled under the hooves of their horses.

Obviously, Liu Hanru deliberately burned the Yongji Bridge and chiseled a section of ice to block the road, just to coax them to cross the river from this side and ambush them in the reeds, he also knew that the regimental training could not face the 15,000 cavalry head-on, but in this reeds that stretched for dozens of miles, he could win by ambush. But he didn't expect that a cunning guy like Li Zicheng would not follow their routine of talking on paper at all, and directly threw a grenade to ignite the reeds, and the ambush hidden inside was unlucky.

This reed, which has been dry for several months, is just a little bit.

In fact, Li Zicheng didn't throw grenades to get this kind of thing, and the effect of this wildfire on the prairie was partly because the ambush soldiers fired at Li Zicheng inside.

The shot of the black powder was comparable to a fire-breathing.

In a reed swing that had been dry for months, and could be lit at almost a spark, it was too unprofessional to fire with this old-fashioned black powder gun.

As a result, the ambush soldiers can now only run away.

Zhang Xianzhong and his cavalry quickly rushed through the fire, and then saw Li Zicheng who was reforming in front, the latter did not suffer much loss, and those regimental exercises were frightened by the wildfire like flies, and basically collapsed at the touch of a button. But at this time, in the farmland outside the reeds, about five hundred regimental training cavalry who were originally on standby at Yuankouyi were rushing towards Li Zicheng in confusion......

There is no shortage of cavalry here.

There are already a large number of horse farms in this area.

This area is low-lying, and the collection of most of the river water of Beizhili, Daqing River is the whole Baoding Mansion, half of Zhending Mansion, and even part of the river and the total confluence of the Shuntian River, almost every year along the low-lying land has to be flooded, in this case agriculture is greatly affected. But it also means that the water and grass are abundant, just suitable for pasture, the imperial court has a large number of official horse farms in this area, although many exist in name only, but the people have a large number of horses, and it is more common for those who can ride horses.

And the folk customs are fierce, and the folk martial arts practice is very popular, even the nine thousand years old will ride a horse and shoot arrows, and it is said that his home is not far from here.

Of course, King Zhennan's hometown is closer to here.

Zhennan Wang's hometown is only fifty or sixty miles away from here, according to the identity that Huang Zhen gave him, it should be a small village south of Wuguandian, and now this village is already very famous, many people are swaggering and deceiving outside under the banner of Zhennan Wang's childhood friend, which makes Zhennan Wang trance, and he feels that he really has such a childhood.

"Array!"

Zhang Xianzhong picked up his spear and shouted.

Five hundred three-quarters of a water, riding a tall horse, quickly raised their spears and lined up in three cavalry lines, and then Zhang Xianzhong took the lead and began to move forward. The regimental cavalry on the opposite side also divided into parts to meet this side. Li Zicheng's side had already started a melee with them, Li Zicheng with a white horse and a silver spear was bravely rushing to kill on the battlefield, and behind these regimental training cavalry, more regimental training infantry were also rushing indiscriminately, led by Liu Hanru.

The latter also rode horses.

This great Confucian, who can be a teacher for King Xin, also has a Yanling knife in his hand, and is urging the group practice to speed up.

Zhang Xianzhong controlled the war horse in small strides forward in the first wave of the line, and then increased the speed and quickly turned into a big stride, all the cavalry were close to each other, because the speed of the war horse was somewhat different after all, the initial horizontal line gradually turned into an undulating wavy line, but the cavalry always got as close as possible, and always maintained an almost fixed distance from the second wave. The galloping horse, all the cavalry level the spear, this new style of war horse, which is more than half a foot higher than the Mongolian horse, is fast, and the condescending height advantage is obvious, and the Mongolian horse of the opposite cavalry is not good, the average height difference is more than 20 centimeters, plus this side is a carefully selected big man......

There is no comparison in momentum.

This is not the ordinary cavalry that Li Zicheng casually brought from the cavalry army.

This is Yang Xin's guard battalion, to put it bluntly, it is a guard of honor pretending to be forced, but they are all strictly trained in accordance with the heavy cavalry, the people are tall and the horses are tall, the armor is polished, and the helmets are all with bright bird feathers, which is very visually impactful whether viewed from a distance or up close.

The regimental cavalry was clearly slowing down.

Those regimental training cavalrymen who were mixed with rice, holding the wheel muskets in their hands, looked at the opponent here with trembling trembling as if a divine soldier had descended from the sky, the latter's three-quarters of the armor reflected the sunlight, and the tall horses were like divine horses, and a spear with a small pennant was murderous.

One of the team drills stopped suddenly.

He was still almost fifty feet away, and pulled the trigger in panic to this side.

Then the other team drills stopped and pulled the trigger.

Originally, more than 30 meters relied on the character of the wheel to fire short guns, shooting more than 100 meters apart, the bullets did not know where to go, the guard battalion that was not affected in any way continued to accelerate, the first regimental training to fire turned around and ran, and then the other regimental training turned around one after another. Liu Hanru, who was behind them, looked at this scene in confusion, and shouted with his sword, but the regimental training infantry beside him also turned around and fled when they saw that the cavalry was fleeing. But at this time, it was already a little late to escape, and the Mawari horse must have sprinted much faster than the Mongolian horse, and then Zhang Xianzhong and his riding wall collided with the fleeing regimental cavalry.

The rest is all about crushing.

The entire cavalry wall swept directly through the regimental training cavalry.

Spears pierce their bodies.

Warhorses knock over their warhorses.

The horses' hooves trampled over their bodies.

Completely unstoppable.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the wall of cavalry ran over like a chariot, and then continued forward with blood, and in the screams of Liu Hanru and the frightened and chaotic shooting of the few regimental training infantrymen, it once again crushed through them as if it had just crushed the cavalry.

"I'm Jinshi ......"

Looking at the iron horse coming like a wall, Liu Hanru screamed in horror.

The next moment, because the spear was broken, Zhang Xianzhong, who was replaced by a cavalry sword, stretched out his right arm and held the sword next to him like the wind, and at the same time, the tip of the slender cavalry sword was also silently slashed across his neck, Liu Hanru didn't even feel anything, Zhang Xianzhong had disappeared from his field of vision. He dazedly tried to turn his head, but a bloody arrow spurted out from under his jaw, and he reached out in horror to try to cover his neck, only to find that his head was involuntarily tilted to the side, and then his brain lost blood supply, and his eyes were dark......

"Jinshi."

Zhang Xianzhong stopped behind him and looked back at his dead body falling from his horse.

"It's nothing special to kill."

The Lich King said disdainfully.

Obviously, his feeling should still be good, although he said so, but the feeling of cutting the neck of a jinshi just now made him very useful.

Behind him, a second wave was sweeping through the remnants.

But at this time, there was no need to fight, because those group drills were busy kneeling and surrendering.

These rabbles don't have any will to fight at all, the reason why they can gather here to prepare to resist is that there is still the Daqing River in front, and now the Daqing River is useless, and the opponent is so strong, their fighting spirit will disappear in an instant. Originally, there was no fighting spirit, just mixed food, and even those who were originally running away in front also stopped running and knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, after all, there was nowhere to go if they ran away like this, and they still had to be captured by the gentry and returned to be a group practice.

It's better to surrender.

Li Zicheng also dealt with the enemies on his side.

In the back, the main force of the cavalry army is also constantly arriving, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng immediately drove the surrendered regimental training to the side, as for Liu Jinshi's dead body, no one cares, and it directly melts into the mud in the continuous trampling of the cavalry.

There are no first-level combat merits in this kind of battle, and in fact, the combat merits of Yang Xin's subordinates are not counted.

Soon Sun Shoufa arrived here, and at this time Zhang Xianzhong and the two had arrived at Yuankou Station, this post station is still very prosperous, and there are city walls around it, as for some of the regimental training and gentry who were originally in Yuankou Station, they have already fled to Bazhou City in the north.

Sun Shoufa went straight to Bazhou.

But Bazhou closed its doors, and those gentry climbed the city wall to defend with regimental training.

Sun Shoufa didn't continue to insist, his huge army would take a long time to cross the river alone, although the Daqing River could be frozen and could be passed directly, but the reeds stretching on the north bank had been completely ignited, and there were raging fires everywhere, and even the ice was burned in some places. Next, he and his subordinates who crossed the river continued to control Yuankou, and then ensured that the follow-up subordinates continued to cross the river, he didn't know that at this time, the governor of Bazhou had urgently played, saying that he led his subordinates to rebel and massacre innocent people in Yuankou, causing a large number of kind and innocent people, including Liu Jinshi, to die.

In addition, he also asked the governor of Baoding for help.

And the Bazhou gentry also sent letters to the surrounding regiments for help.

In this way, the news of Yang Xin's rebellion and massacre of innocent people spread rapidly in Baoding, Shuntian, and Hejian Prefectures, and even continued to spread farther away.

(The latest confirmed case is two kilometers away from my home, and it was infected by a passenger from other places on the way back by train, the latter was found in the province after the diagnosis, and when I found it, I had been playing at home for nearly ten days, I had been to an Internet café, I had a fair, I had participated in a wedding, and now the whole town is in a hurry)
