"Tap! Tap! Tap! ”

In the dark night, in the messy but with a bit of rhythm and other sounds came from far and near, and a group of hundreds of war horses galloped by, startling the surrounding crickets and insects.

"More than ten miles ahead, there should be a land temple there, let's hide there tonight!"

While riding a war horse, Li Laiheng looked back, for fear that Li Jin, a stepfather who was not imposing behind him, would disappear.

At this time, Li Jin's face had long since lost his original spirit, and a night attack killed the entire cavalry army under his command, and now the cavalry still with him only had less than five hundred henchmen.

Frustration and despondency, are not enough to describe Li Jin's mood at this time, since He Sanjiang's army came from behind, Li Jin sent the last cavalry army still failed to block the opponent's assault formation, Li Jin's soul has fallen on that battlefield.

No one expected that in just one night, the offensive and defensive posture between their Dashun cavalry and the cavalry of the He family army would change completely.

If it weren't for Li Laiheng and a group of henchmen around him desperately holding him back, Li Jin was afraid that he would have rushed to the front line of the battlefield, either becoming a prisoner of He Jiajun, or dying on the battlefield.

"Father, are you thirsty? The child still has some water in the water bladder, so let's take it to quench my thirst first! ”

The horse's hoof pace gradually slowed down, and the horse had been galloping for more than an hour, even the best war horse could no longer maintain its peak state at this time, for the sake of the next trip, Li Laiheng and they naturally put down their speed.

"No, you can drink it first!"

The hoarse voice came out of Li Jin's throat, making people feel a little vicissitudes and lifelessness inexplicably.

At this time, Li Laiheng and the others didn't know how to comfort Li Jin, so they could only take advantage of the rare leisure time in silence, exchanging water bags with each other to replenish water, while paying close attention to the movements behind them.

At the last moment of defeat, Li Laiheng and the others ran out of the cavalry of the He family army with Li Jin, sheltered some cavalry who escaped in advance along the way, and then marched directly in the direction of Kaifeng Mansion along the official road.

"Pedal Pedal Pedal Pedal !! Stampede Stomp!! ”

Suddenly there was the sound of war horses galloping behind him, although it sounded a little distant at this time, but in the dead of night, it was also extremely abrupt.

"What a fucking ghost!!"

Li Laiheng muttered a few words softly, and then with a wave of his hand, a group of cavalry raised the speed of the war horse again and galloped away into the distance.

And just five miles behind Li Laiheng's remnants of Dashun, a cavalry of about 700 people was galloping, and the cavalry commander who took the lead in charging first was Ran Maochang, a guerrilla general in the He family's army.

"Brothers, work hard, the cavalry in front must be a big fat sheep, if we can kill it, it will not be lower than the credit of those guys who clean up the battlefield behind us!!"

Relying on the advantages of the He family's army fighting behind enemy lines this time, each person has the advantage of two war horses, and for the cavalry team in front that still maintains a better structure, Ran Maochang is showing an inevitable posture at this time.

Some time ago, when the cavalry sent out to protect the grain road behind the wings, He Sanjiang, who led the team to make trouble in the rear, had already aimed at the head of this Dashun cavalry.

Some time ago, with the help of local guides who were familiar with the location, He Sanjiang and the others appeared on the long transportation line of the Dashun army out of nowhere, attacking the baggage army within their reach, and turning the Dashun cavalry around, and at the same time, they were also wearing down the patience of the other party.

Dozens of other temptations and attacks made the Dashun cavalry, who were passively defensive and could not catch the movement of the cavalry of the He family's army, exhausted their motivation, fighting spirit and physical strength on the long transportation line.

The target they found during the day earlier was actually a trap set by He Sanjiang and them for the Dashun cavalry this time, and the other party had long been accustomed to the fact that they couldn't catch the movement of the He family's army, when they thought that the He family's army had retreated, in fact, the traces left by the retreat of the He family's army were just an illusion created by a cavalry of less than two hundred using materials such as tree trunks.

Because of the fact that he had returned in vain dozens of times before, Li Jin, the commander of the Dashun cavalry, was not even too lazy to mobilize scouts to search the surrounding mountains all over the mountains, and in the air, he even directly led a large group of men and horses to pursue the cavalry trails they forged out of the official road along He Sanjiang, but they didn't know that behind a hill only five miles away from them at this time, there was a target they were trying to find.

The long wait consumed the morale and patience of the other party, and He Sanjiang was waiting for Li Jin at a loss, full of only finding the traces of the cavalry of the He family's army, and desperate.

When the other party followed the traces left by him and chased them out of the official road dozens of miles away, He Sanjiang's cavalry had already found another target.

I don't know if it's the beauty of heaven or the intention to make it difficult, when He Sanjiang and they want an east wind, God is so kind to give them a strong wind, Zhang Nai's 5,000 people escorted the brigade baggage, just along the official road towards the direction of Dongming County Ya, earlier has been worried about the Dashun cavalry cruising around, at this time there is no scruples, full firepower, on the wide official road will be the cavalry of the powerful impact of the cavalry is undoubtedly revealed.

Although Zhang Nai's response was extremely good after discovering the cavalry of the He family's army, and there were not too many mistakes, but a group of their infantry and more than half of the coolies, even if they had simple fortifications built with oxen, horses and vehicles, their life-saving straw was in the wilderness mountain road dozens of miles away at this time, where could they be rescued in time.

Although the fortifications built by transport vehicles brought a lot of trouble to the cavalry charge, don't forget where the commanders of the He Jiajun came from, although there was no opportunity to use firearms as unscrupulously as the Hongmen base camp behind the enemy, but simple grenades could be equipped on the cavalry.

A simple grenade with a huge difference between the actual lethality and the real grenade was like rain, and was thrown into the fortifications in a circle by the cavalry of the He family's army.

Along the gap that was rushed away, several teams of cavalry of the He family army rushed up, put the reins they carried with them to the chariot formation, and dragged the war horses back, and the formation of the chariot formation was completely opened.

The attack time of the entire battlefield did not exceed an hour and a half, and at this time, it was only when the soldiers sent by Zhang Nai found Li Jin's department outside the wilderness.

During the time when Li Jin and the others were desperately leading the team back, it was enough for He Sanjiang to clean up the remnants of Zhang Nai's army.

Except for Zhang Nai, the main general, who broke through the pursuit of the He family army on horseback with dozens of henchmen and escaped, the remaining more than 4,000 Dashun soldiers and coolies, more than 3,000 were left on this battlefield.

In addition to the necessary supplies, He Sanjiang gave an order, and a large fire was thrown on the baggage and horse carriage, and soon the tens of thousands of stone grain escorted by Zhang Nai and them turned into flame-fuel, illuminating the dark night sky.

And He Sanjiang is not satisfied with this big victory, Zhang Nai's resistance has certainly caused He Jiajun to lose a lot, although it is not sleepy but it is not in the best state, but from the beginning He Sanjiang and their target is Li Jin's 10,000 cavalry army, how can He Sanjiang give up such a great opportunity to severely damage the enemy!!

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet returned, He Sanjiang once again ambushed Li Jin with a somewhat tired team a few miles behind the official road that they pursued during the day, quietly waiting for Li Jin's first department to come to support Zhang Nai's heavy army.

In the battle in the middle of the night, many times it is not entirely based on strength and quantity, but under the deliberate calculation or unintentional, and Li Jin, like these generals, is extremely cooperative to stretch the formation of the cavalry army to an extremely long time, creating an incomparable sneak attack opportunity for He Sanjiang and them.

Tightly hugged into a ball, like a deadly arrow, the He family army was full of firepower, the cavalry will play the speed to the extreme, and the conversion is a strong combat effectiveness with speed as the impact force, the cavalry of the He family army is not easy, but they did not receive too many obstacles, they completed the chiseling and blocking of the Dashun cavalry, and divided the 10,000 Dashun cavalry into two sections.

The rest of the things are actually not too easy, but He Sanjiang and they know very well that at this time, the chaotic formation of the Dashun cavalry cannot be maintained for too long, and the leadership of the Dashun cavalry cannot be given too much time to react, under the command of He Sanjiang, the two thousand elite cavalry still rushed along the front army where the opponent's main general was, vowing to disrupt the other party's command class, and the remaining cavalry is to intercept the continuous flow of Dashun cavalry in the rear, and give full play to the advantages of concentration to annihilate the organized resistance of the rear army, Let it always maintain a casual posture.

With all these reasonable arrangements, generals like Li Jin and Li Laiheng, who have not received a proper military education and have all their military knowledge obtained from actual combat, have no reason to be invincible.

The 10,000 Dashun cavalry, without the command of their mastermind, and even the losses they caused were not as much as Zhang Nai's infantry to the cavalry of the He family's army, which had completely laid down their defeat.

When the defeat was a foregone conclusion, Li Jin, the main generals, had no blood, but they could not recover the decline, when their last resistance cavalry was charged several times by two thousand soldiers of the He family, and then chiseled through its formation, the next thing is needless to say.

Ran Maochang, as a fierce general under He Sanjiang, was formerly a horse bandit leader, and killing people was its business, even on the chaotic battlefield, when he saw a Dashun cavalry that maintained a good formation and went backwards, the first thought that came to Ran Maochang's mind was that there was a big fat sheep among them!

The sixth sense honed in the moment of life and death all the year round is an important reliance that Ran Maochang has been invincible all these years, and it is also what he believes in the most.

Under his leadership, he would follow him in a battalion of 700 cavalry, break through the chaotic formation of the Dashun cavalry, and chase the past in the direction of the opponent's escape, without even caring about cleaning up the battlefield.

The cavalry of the He family army disturbed the rear of Dashun this time, and each cavalry was equipped with two war horses, one of the main war horses was a high-headed horse in the Hetao of Yishui'er, and the remaining one was a Mongolian war horse that was in a hurry on weekdays and loaded with dry food, so compared with the Dashun cavalry at this time, the physical strength of the war horse of the He family army was better preserved.

Ran Maochang's seven hundred soldiers pursued Li Jinyi, and because of the physical strength of the war horse, they gradually narrowed the distance between each other, and as time went by, they became closer and closer to each other.

However, Ran Maochang did not directly squeeze out all the physical strength of the war horse, but unhurriedly maintained a speed that a horse could accept, and slowly approached the other party's location, as if he was playing with the other party like walking a dog.

"General, you take the adults first, and we'll cut you off!!"

The guards who followed Li Jin tried again and again to get rid of the group of pursuers behind them, but the result was that they were chilled, and finally gritted their teeth, and one of the guards stood up, and after saying a word to Li Jin and Li Laiheng, he turned his head and led more than 100 soldiers back to kill him.

It didn't take long for there to be a sound of fighting behind him, and Li Laiheng didn't have time to pray for the group of warriors behind him at this time, taking advantage of the time that the other party had bought for himself and others, he each whipped on the horse's hips and Li Jin, and once again squeezed the only physical strength of the war horse under the seat, and marched towards the dark distance.

The sound of the fight is getting farther and farther away, and it is becoming more and more blurred, Li Jin certainly has the frustration of the tiger falling to Pingyang, and at the same time has the thirst for survival.

The anger that made him want to have a life-and-death fight with the other party, but after the suspense was gone, he no longer had the courage to break jade.

The war horses were snorting and panting, their physical strength had reached the end, and in the short sprint just now, several of the guards and horses fell down and could no longer stand up, and these guards who had lost their horses only reported a punch to Li Jin and them, turned around and walked behind them.

However, without waiting for Li Jin and them to breathe a sigh of relief again, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them again, which made Li Jin, Li Laiheng and others all feel terrified.

"Phew!!"

Li Jin suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the war horse.

Seeing this scene, Li Laiheng and the others also had to stop their horses, and then looked at the main general fixedly.

"You don't have to run, it's in vain to run again!!"

Li Jin's words are true, in terms of the physical strength of each other's war horses, they can no longer escape the pursuit of each other at this time, and if they continue to flee like this, in fact, they will only be exhausted to death by the other party, it is better to take advantage of the physical strength of the war horses now and have a real fight with the other party.

"If you lose today, the sin lies with me, and you have to die here with me, if there is an afterlife, let's be brothers again!!"

After Li Jin said this, he grabbed the horse's belly, waved the long knife in his hand, and killed the enemy that gradually appeared behind him.

"Kill!!"

Li Laiheng and they looked at each other, and finally burst out from their chests with this sonorous and decisive shout.

Before dawn, this last darkness was so deep!
