In order to retreat as quickly as possible, the rebels retreated westward in multiple ways. Compared to the caution when the rebels retreated, it was not necessary to hide when the rebels retreated, and speed was the key.

The long dragon-like crowds of people on the ground are moving, and from a distance they look like moving ant colonies. There was a noise of human voices, footsteps, and neighing horses.

"Woo......" The hoarse and thick trumpet suddenly sounded in the north.

The people followed the prestige, and saw that in a wood, gradually cavalry came out. After a while, the ground faintly began to shake, and a rumbling low sound sounded. Over the small village on the edge of the forest, a large cloud of dust filled the air.

The rebels watched sideways, and the faces of the people showed shock and disbelief.

The cavalry in the distance, who seemed to be equipped with a large amount of iron armor, marched in a general formation and were well-trained, so that the horses could only be possessed by the Ming army! How could the Ming army suddenly appear in the north? For a while, no one could answer this question.

Li Li Ming sent many spies to spy along the way and monitor Chen Zhengyuan's people and horses going south; If the Ming army moved south by land, how could those scouts know nothing?

A large flag fluttering in the air confirmed people's speculation that the cavalry group that appeared was indeed a Ming military horse. It was a blue background yellow picture of the dragon sun and moon flag, and some military flags had the word "Li" on them.

Fengcheng Marquis Li Bin was originally one of the vanguard generals of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty and a deputy general under Zhang Fu.

Gradually, most of the cavalry showed their true colors, a total of about three hundred horsemen, but the battle of hundreds of cavalry was also quite large. All of them were clad in iron armor, the red tassels on their broad-brimmed iron helmets swaying in the air, and their horses were covered with leather armor. Iron hooves swept by, and the whole hillside seemed to be ignited and smoke was rising.

Li Bin pulled out the horse knife from his back, pointed at the crowd on the valley, and shouted: "Long live Daming!" ”

"Hooray!" The armies shouted. The divisions immediately began to kick their horses and speed up, and the forwards spread straight towards the rebel flanks like an arc of swordlight......

Many of the rebels who were already standing on the road widened their eyes and looked in horror at the dust and mist that was gradually spreading, and some people subconsciously began to retreat.

The generals in the rebel crowd hissed and shouted: "Array! Spearmen prepare to defend themselves against the enemy! ”

Li Li gritted his teeth and watched the scene to the north, his expression was very painful, but he quickly said, "Let's go first." ”

Ruan Jian persuaded: "It seems that the Ming army only has a few hundred people, and as soon as the king is pacified, the morale of the army is unfavorable. ”

Li Li glanced at Ruan Jian and said, "Our army is finished. Walk! ”

The charging horsemen of the "Rumble ......" rushed straight forward, black shadows flashed in the smoke, and countless arrows flew straight into the long formation of the rebels, screaming everywhere. In a few moments, the Iron Rider emerged from the dust, and the Sakura spear pointed straight ahead.

In an instant, the rebels shouted and shook the sky. The cavalry group of the Ming army rushed to the thin river embankment like a flood and directly penetrated the rebel army's military formation. Some rebel sergeants were knocked to the ground by their horses while running. In the thin phalanx that had been pierced in many places, everyone was turning around and fleeing to avoid the terrifying impact of the iron cavalry that followed the charge.

The scene was very crazy, and the rebel infantry lined up in long lines on the road could not stop the impact of the iron cavalry at all. As soon as the cavalry came, it was simply devastating.

"Ahh A cherry spear stabbed directly through the chest of a rebel, and the knight immediately released it

Throwing away the cherry spear, he pulled out the saber from his back and pointed it sideways to the left. With the speed of the horse's impact, the blade sliced through the head of one of the rebels, almost cutting off half of the bloody head. The cavalryman immediately swung his sword and swept it from back to front to the right, and then someone screamed again, and blood flew in the air.

The herd of iron horsemen made a detour along the road, rushing towards the longitudinal sweep of the rebel formation. The crowd of rebels was like a rectangle of sand, which collapsed in an instant, and people scattered and fled on both sides of the road. The screams and shouts of killing were deafening, and the smell of blood diffused in the dust.

The herd swept westward, and the dirt roads, in the barren grass, and in the fields, all the way were full of corpses, and there were many more people who were alive and running away.

Ruan Jingyi, who was lying on the back of the horse with his hands tied, was originally led by someone, and the person who led the horse did not know where to go at this time; But he was full of cavalry, and his horses were galloping. He had already tried to break free from his horse, but when he looked back, he saw several horses running behind him, and he was afraid that if he fell off the horse, he would be trampled to death. He hesitated.

Ruan Jingyi originally thought that he was dead, but when he suddenly saw the Ming cavalry attacking, he was also very surprised at first.

But he soon remembered that Zhang Fu had said that the Ming army had deployed guards and carrier pigeons in the western counties, and stationed an elite army somewhere in Thanh Hoa; Prepare to carry out a mobile raid with this elite force after learning of Li Li's whereabouts.

The current cavalry of the Ming army is estimated to be the force of men and horses that Zhang Fu said. Because those men had been deployed in the vicinity of Thanh Hoa two years earlier, they could stand still and wait for King Tran Trung Yuan's troops to pass by before they moved.

and Li Li's spies mainly focus on the team of King Chen Zhengyuan; After Chen Zhengyuan left, the rebel spies may also follow south.

Since the elite soldiers of Thanh Hoa are cavalry, they can delay their dispatch; And, it seems, has managed to avoid the eyes and ears of the rebels.

At that moment, the horse caravan of Rieley began to pass through a narrow terrain, with a paddy field on the right. The two horses ran side by side, and Ruan Jingyi's horse happened to run on the right, and he immediately seized the opportunity and struggled to pounce off the horse.

With a "bang", Ruan Jingyi suddenly saw his eyes full of Venus flying around, and his body rolled forward on the ground, so painful that he screamed, and suddenly fell into the mud of the paddy field. His eyes were dark, and he turned around desperately on his legs, spit out two mouthfuls of muddy water, shook his head a few times and opened his eyes.

Someone shouted in front: "Ruan Jingyi has fallen......"

The sound was soon drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves, and Li Li's men and horses continued to run west, no longer bothering to pay attention to Ruan Jingyi.

Ruan Jingyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. No sooner had the fear passed, and a surge of anger rose in his heart. He immediately faced the cavalry of the Ming army and shouted in Chinese: "Li Li, Li Li has run away, chase quickly!" ”

Finally someone heard the shout, and a force of iron horses rushed towards it.

Ruan Jingyi struggled to sit up, shook his head, signaled the direction of Li Li's people, and shouted: "Li Li is over there, just left!" ”

"Drive!" A member of the Ming army kicked his horse and rushed over, and a team of horsemen also followed......

The war horses of the Ming army are not very suitable for camels on mountain roads, but the speed of the war horses exceeds the horses raised by the Annan people. A group of Ming cavalry chased after it for a while, and finally saw the Annan army and horse team fleeing to the west.

The current Ming army general immediately threw away the long knife in his hand and took the bow and arrow. He pursued it for a while, and then drew his bow and arrows

Aiming at a man in armor with a hood.

"Bang!" Arrows flew out.

There was a neighing sound in the distance, and the man in the cloak rolled off his horse. The horsemen all began to rein in their horses and shouted in voices they did not understand.

After a while, the rebel horse team turned back. Someone went to save the man who had fallen off the horse, and another team of people slapped their horses and shouted and rushed back.

"Yikes!" A horse swept towards the Ming army general with a sword, and the general's upper body leaned back, and the war horse immediately rushed over. Then a scream was heard, and the enemy soldier was slashed by the Ming cavalry behind; The enemy soldier was stabbed in the waist and fell from his horse, and his intestines were pulled all the way through the sand.

The Ming generals leaned over and quickly rushed past the intercepted enemy cavalry, and the sound of swords and screams came from behind them.

At this moment the man in the cloak got back on the horse and was kicking the horse in the belly with all his might. The Ming army general twisted his bow and arrow again, and shot an arrow, which caused the horse to neigh, and rushed forward a few steps before rolling on its side to the ground.

"Ahh Two more enemy soldiers came on their horses.

The Ming army general pulled out his waist knife from his waist and went head-on to kill the general. He rode alone through the middle of the enemy soldiers, and the "clang" sounded twice, and the general cut off the horse on the right side, and also slashed his left shoulder armor.

A moment later, more cavalry hurried up and slew the remaining horseman. The generals still rushed to the front, and soon killed a literati on horseback, who was terrified and stared at the Ming soldiers at a loss.

"Hiss......" The Ming military general hit the literati's horse with his shoulder, and the man fell off the horse with both hands.

Suddenly, a group of Ming army horsemen surrounded the two. The military general of the Ming army pointed at the man wearing a cloak with a bloodstained waist knife and asked, "Li Li? ”

The man in the cloak looked up and sighed, but did not answer. Suddenly, behind him, a Ming sergeant jumped off his horse and threw him to the ground, and everyone dismounted and captured the man alive.

A group of Ming soldiers found ropes, tied up the two captives, and then escorted them back the way they came.

After walking for a long time, the Ming army horse team met Ruan Jingyi. Ruan Jingyi, who was sitting in the paddy field and shouting earlier, has been dragged onto the road, and he is standing on the side of the road watching, his hands still tied.

The military general of the Ming army asked Ruan Jingyi: "This person is Li Li?" ”

Ruan Jingyi glanced at it and said in Chinese: "Exactly, the one wearing a robe next to him is Li Li's confidant and adviser, Ruan Xuan." My name is Ruan Jingyi, and I know Zhang Dashuai, the Marquis of Xincheng, and I must inform the general. ”

The general of the Ming army looked at Ruan Jingyi, who was covered in mud, and nodded.

Li Li turned his head and said in Annan dialect: "Ruan Jingyi, this king treats you well, I didn't expect you to be a despicable villain!" ”

Ruan Jingyi didn't say anything, just looked at Li Li coldly.

Li Li said again: "Do you know that you are a Da Yue sinner? Sinners through the ages! You aided in the abuse, and let the boatmen enslave Da Yue, and our country will never end the night. ”

Ruan Jian on the side stared at Ruan Jingyi with sad and angry eyes.

Ruan Jingyi suddenly spoke: "What does it have to do with me?" Anyway, I'm going to soar. ”

Li Li looked at him in a daze, and was speechless for a while.
