On the banks of the whirlpool, another round of fighting and killing is unstinting. It's just that the officers and soldiers, who take the initiative to attack and play an offensive role, are no longer the brave and vigorous they used to be.

The only thing that could gallop back and forth in the crowd of rebels like a muddy tide was a touch of silver and white armor and snow-colored swords.

It was the former Yulin Jiaqi, and after the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya was gradually replaced by the Shence Army as the family was dominant, it became synonymous with some kind of showmanship, and only the last bit of glory remained; When Cao Quanhui was the deputy envoy of the Pinglu Army, the imperial court specially gave 3,000 forbidden soldiers and 500 armor cavalry.

It's just that when the Zhudao camp recruited grass thieves to make Song Wei falsely report his military exploits, and intercepted Wang Xianzhi's henchmen who entered the court to ask for a seal, he was condemned and deprived of his post; The corresponding forbidden soldiers were recalled by the imperial court, but this armored cavalry was transferred to the hands of his deputy Cao Quanyang, and he has been fighting with him until now.

However, as the brightly armored knights broke through and dispersed the ranks of the grass thieves over and over again, trampling them under the hooves of their horses, they slowly became less and less, weaker and sluggisher.

Because there are so many of these ragged grass thieves; Many of them shot with bows and crossbows, and they were not able to reduce much in general; On the contrary, these knights, dressed in armor and silk covers, as soon as their fatigue and decline slowed down slightly, they would soon fall into the encirclement of the thieves who poured in like a tide.

So the horse's hooves were tripped and overturned, and the knight in armor was dragged down or thrown to the ground, and before he could fight to defend himself, he stabbed his hands and feet along the gaps in the armor with sharp objects, or simply stoned his head.

When they dispersed, all that was left on the ground was a stripped and smashed corpse. However, Zhu Laosan, who was in the sequence of being chased by these court armor riders, did not have this mood and interest at all.

He watched his brothers fall one after another under the collision and kicking of these bloodied, but murderous iron men and horses.

They didn't even need to use swords, guns, and combat skills, but they could knock people off their horses alive with their iron shells and the height of their horses, or they could overturn them on the ground with their horses and trample them over.

However, most of the swords cut by the soldiers of the Righteous Horse Brigade who bravely faced the battle easily slipped off the armor of these officers, or rebounded back, and then were slashed and flown with their backhands, and they lost their lives.

Fortunately, the white-maned horse given by the Yellow King under his crotch was still powerful, and he finally did not stumble or lose his strength at the critical time, but left him in the chase of those official horses. However, the cavalry soldiers he brought out to contain and lure the enemy rode had already lost seven or eight stops.

At this moment, he finally saw the banner that was raised and waved vigorously in the chaotic crowd, and he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart and shouted behind him:

"Come after me."

However, at the moment of this shout, the dozen or so horsemen who landed at the end of the line were overturned by these officers chasing after them on tall horses, or they pierced their backs and cut off their arms with swords and guns;

Then, at the front end, he saw again the rebel soldiers scattered like a low tide, and the rows of things that were exposed from them, and shouted loudly.

"Jump up with me."

With his shout, the remnants of the rebel cavalry who followed closely behind him reined in their horses and jumped up from the spot; However, among the scattered rebels in western Zhejiang, they have been artificially used with all kinds of miscellaneous carts and taxis, laying an obstacle line for the battlefield to block.

And behind this humble obstacle line, Sula, the leader who was lucky enough to get out of the heavy water that fell from Yangzhou City a few months ago, also loudly encouraged the soldiers who were crouching left and right:

"Although you have 10,000 hearts, this is the joint vehicle combat method that our leader learned from the Taiping Army. It works wonders against cavalry. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the horsemen of the rebels, who were rushing over their heads, who were rushing over their heads, suddenly cry out and scream and stumble down; But it was the bow and arrow fired by the official rider behind him, and the thrown object hit the moment; Blood was immediately spilled on the top of their heads.

"Don't panic, our horses are light, their horses are heavy, and they won't come so easily."

Sula hurriedly shouted.

Then, one after another, the rebel cavalry who followed and rode by, either because they lost their strength or because the starting position was too low, or because they miscalculated their remaining strength, they stumbled one after another on this simple chariot formation, and even the men and horses fell on the other side.

"We'll be able to stop the officers."

Sula tried to squirm her mouth, but she couldn't help but speak.

In an instant, I could hear the thumping vibrations and loud noises of the victory, but it was this hasty chariot line of defense that had already been knocked out and overturned in several places by those officers and soldiers who could not control it. Before the soldiers who were in ambush could react and make a move, they were crushed under the company with the vehicle, and they screamed bloody.

Fortunately, at this time, the remnants of the cavalry of the righteous army who were speeding past finally stopped and regrouped not far away, and under the command and guidance of Zhu Laodan, they regathered those retreating soldiers, and re-surrounded these official cavalry that had to slow down and gathered in several places.

I saw the knives and spears and hooks that were raised in dense turns, constantly slipping away from the blood-stained hard armor, and making a piercing sound of cruising cymbals; However, the calves of these officers and the hooves of the horses could not cover them, so they were completely unable to avoid and protect.

Under the encirclement and advance regardless of sacrifices, soon there were officers and horsemen who could not cover each other, and one after another were cut off and fell down, and then they were pressed together and slashed down against the gap between the neck and thigh, and screamed and turned into a large ball of blood on the ground.

In the end, before another group of officers and cavalry rushed to attack and relieve the siege, there were already sixty or seventy officers and cavalry left, and Zhu Laosan's troops relied on this capture and armed half of the regiment on the spot.

。。。。。。。

After the sky is getting dark; Looking at the thieves who retreated in chaos, the Tianping army who had just fallen from the horse waited for Cao Xiang to hold a horizontal knife, only to feel that he would fall to the ground next; After fighting day and night in a row, they have been physically and mentally exhausted by the officers and soldiers;

When they opened their eyes, they saw the corpses all over the ground, and they couldn't hide the heavy smell of blood and rancid smell when they opened their mouths to eat and drink. Then they sat down on the corpses of their comrades and thieves, and even supported each other and retreated back to the camp.

His lonely Tianping Army has been supporting the situation here for several days, whether it is the Huainan Army in the south, or the Pinglu, Taining, Xuanwu, Reform, and Yicheng armies in Henan, there is no movement or reaction to help.

He really wanted to say to his father Cao Quanyang: You want to emulate Zhang Zhongcheng, but there are no Guo Fenyang and Li Linhuai in this world, but I am afraid that the imperial court will not even tolerate loyal martyrs like Yan Lugong.

However, after he returned to the Chinese army and saw his father's resolute and persistent face, but described as emaciated; But he couldn't say these heart-wrenching words.

"Father, although there is no shortage of food and equipment for the time being, our sons and daughters can't last long."

Cao Xiang pleaded hoarsely.

"I know. It was I who ordered you to lead people to stand out and ask for help. ”

Cao Quanyang, who had thick eyebrows and broad faces, and became more and more sharp-eyed as he lost weight, rarely agreed.

"Father!!! I would like to do it for you... ”

Cao Xiang suddenly shouted at this moment.

"Shut up, do you want to disobey military orders? I'm afraid that these thieves are not because of the banner of the Father, so they can hover here. If you can go around here for one more day, won't the eastern capital in the rear have one more day of preparation? ”

Cao Quanxi said angrily in a rare way, and then said with some emotion.

"Don't make a mistake about yourself, and live up to my intentions."

Finally, under the black canopy, looking at Cao Xiang's figure of tearfully saying goodbye to the night, Cao Quanyan's face showed a wry smile and helplessness; I am afraid that I will not be spared if I am surrounded by enemies; But at this last moment, he still selfishly sent his only remaining son out in order to have a chance.

After all, since the other second son, Cao Ling, was caught in the thief, except for the uncle who has always been by his side; He no longer has an adult heir who can preside over and control the affairs of his town; In this way, on the side of the Tianping Army, I am afraid that because the soldiers are not in alignment, a series of follow-up chaos will be born.
