Zu Dale also saw the situation of this Xingtian Army, during this time, Zu Kuan always told him about the Xingtian Army, how powerful this Xingtian Army is, how strict the military discipline is, but when I see it today, although it is better than the ordinary thief army, but it is by no means as majestic as Zu Kuan said, if compared with other thief armies, it can indeed be called an elite soldier, but compared to the Guan Ning Army under his command, it cannot be compared!

So he immediately glanced at this thief army, how did he do it, he would actually lose in the hands of such an opponent, and he was really a person who lost their Guan Ning army.

After listening to Zu Kuan's invitation to fight, Zu Dale shook his head and said: "Today is our first battle, don't be careless, or the whole army will press it up, and defeat it in a battle!" The stone bridge has been destroyed by the thieves, and if we want to get to Ikawa as soon as possible, we must seize the pontoon bridge behind them! It's safer to go together! Someone's coming! Beat the drum and sound the cannon! The whole army presses on! ”

After hearing this, Zu Kuan had to nod and take the order, and went down to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and after a short time, with the sound of drums and trumpets in the army, the three thousand Guan Ning troops howled in unison, and rushed towards the Xingtian army together.

Thousands of war horses started at the same time, the momentum is not something that ordinary people can imagine, Niu Venus encountered such a big battle before the first battle, and immediately pulled the reins of the horse and became a little nervous.

What's more, now the strength of the Xingtian Army is not as good as the other party, and in order to show weakness, the military formation is now a little chaotic, although Niu Jinxing knows that this is for the officials and soldiers to see, but his heart is still pinched.

But when he turned his head and saw Xiao Tianjian playing with a horsewhip in his hand for a long time, as if he didn't take this situation seriously at all, Niu Jinxing felt a little relieved.

"Although the Guan Ning Army is said to be from the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, it can still be called the most elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, but now it is no longer the original! It is undeniable that they are indeed stronger than ordinary officers and soldiers, but it is only limited to their cavalry! It's a pity! A good Ming Dynasty's strongest soldiers and horses were destroyed in the hands of the court's monarchs and ministers! It's ridiculous!

Tell the order to go down, and if you resist a little, you will immediately retreat, and I will personally retreat to the north shore! Xiao Tianjian pinched his horsewhip and said to the Guan Ning army that was starting to start rushing towards them on the opposite side, and gave the order to retreat.

A small number of firecrackers immediately began to fire at the oncoming Guanning army in the formation, but this time the fire was fired from more than a hundred steps away from the Guanning army, so although the projectiles also injured some of the Guanning army's war horses, it did not stop the momentum of the Guanning army's charge.

So the formation of the Xingtian Army suddenly began to be chaotic, and Hula didn't even want the camp, so they began to flee towards the Baijiang River, leaving only a small number of Xingtian Army troops, blocking behind the back hall, and the rest of the soldiers and horses flocked to the pontoon bridge on the Baijiang River.

Although Xiao Tianjian said that he wanted to be the queen of the palace in person, but he could just say this, how could he put him in danger by Li Xuanzhu and Tietou and other generals, Tietou volunteered to lead two companies of guards to stay behind the back hall, covering Xiao Tianjian and Niu Jinxing to retreat to the north bank of the Baijiang River first.

The officers and soldiers charged, and before they could start to make contact, the Xingtian army began to flee, which made Zu Dale can't help but sneer, and while ordering the two wings to start outflanking, he urged the soldiers in front to sweep across the enemy formation.

But when the Guan Ning army was about to rush up to catch up with the tail of the Xingtian army, the troops of the five hundred Xingtian army suddenly began to exert their strength, and rows of birds slashed at the Guan Ning army that rushed in front of them.

The sudden change made the offensive formation of the Guan Ning army suddenly setback, and Zu Dale was also startled by this bean-like bird salvo, hurriedly suppressed the position, and ordered not to panic, but it was just such a drag, and the distance between the two armies was widened.

Originally, the place where the Xingtian Army chose to line up was very close to the bank of the Baijiang River, and the formation was chaotic, but if you look closely, you can find that each retreating general has a certain order, and there is no chaos in the formation, but the retreat of groups to the pontoon bridge, which is not intertwined with each other.

However, from a distance, the formation of the Xingtian Army is relatively chaotic, and if you don't observe it carefully, it is really not easy to see the cattiness.

The two wings of the Guanning army quickly surpassed the Xingtian army, trying to outflank the two wings of the Xingtian army, intercepting the Xingtian army from retreating to Baijiang Hebei, but the two wings of the Xingtian army counterattacked quite fiercely, for a time although the Guanning army was in an absolute advantage, but the three sides could not really make a breakthrough.

Seeing that the formation of the Xingtian Army was chaotic, but he was stunned that he couldn't disperse them at once, which made Zu Dale a little surprised, even Zu Kuan led his troops to rush once, and was also repelled by the hundreds of Xingtian Army members behind the palace, and also lost dozens of subordinates, which made Zu Dale Zukuan a little unacceptable.

So they immediately adjusted the formation and pressed it again, this time the situation was a little better, and finally forced to the end of the Xingtian Army, and suddenly a group of soldiers of the Xingtian Army were entangled with the Guan Ning Army.

These guards behind the palace are all warriors selected by Xiao Tianjian from the Xingtian Army, although they are at an absolute disadvantage, but they are still entangled with the Guan Ning Army, and there are constantly people who are knocked into or knocked to the ground by the Guan Ning Army's war horses, but these guards still fight to the death, protecting the tail of the formation, so that more brothers can step on the pontoon bridge.

After such a fierce battle for more than a quarter of an hour, finally the guards could not support it and began to retreat, but at this time the pontoon bridge was already crowded with people, so that Tietou could only lead the guards to defend the south of the bridge, under the continuous repeated impact of the Guanning army, until most of the soldiers and horses on the pontoon bridge had crossed the river, Tietou gave an order to take his troops into the river, wading through the water towards the north bank of the river.

The south side of the pontoon bridge was immediately occupied by the Guan Ning army, and immediately a group of Guan Ning troops began to step on the pontoon bridge and chase towards the north bank of the river.

More Guan Ning troops stood on the bank of the river with horses, constantly firing their guns into the river, and many of the retreating guards were shot and fell into the water of the Baijiang River, and the blood stained a large area of the river red.

Fortunately, the Baijiang River is only a direct flow of the Yi River, and the water here is not very deep, so it will not drown people's chests, so that the guards behind the palace are not drowned in the river in large numbers, but even so, the two guards led by Tietou have also suffered heavy losses in such a palace, and even if they lost more than 200 people, almost half of the number, the distressed Tietou scolded, but he also knew that Xiao Tianjian did this in order to achieve a greater victory, and he had to pay the price. If it weren't for his guards company to leave behind the palace, this deceptive defeat and retreat would most likely evolve into a real rout under the pursuit of the Guan Ning army, in that case, even if it was won afterwards, then it could only be said to be a crushing victory!

Iron Head shouted loudly in the river, while covering the retreat of the others, while beckoning his men to save the wounded, and finally took the remnants of the guards across the river and withdrew to the north bank, and at this time the Guan Ning army had begun to descend into the river, riding across the river and chasing them.

After Xiao Tianjian led his troops to withdraw from the Baijiang River, he turned his head to look at the soldiers and generals who fell in the river, and his heart was also painful, but in order not to let Zu Dale on the other side see that this was a fraud, he still gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers and horses who had crossed the river to immediately start to disperse towards several places on the north bank of the river, which made this rout scene suddenly seem more chaotic, even on the north bank of the pontoon bridge, there was a large pile of firewood and grass, and the Xingtianjun did not have time to ignite it when he ran and burned the pontoon bridge.

At this moment, looking at the Xingtian army that had fled to the north shore and began to disperse, Zu Dale held his horse lance and smiled at Zu Kuan: "This thief army is just Er'er!" Zu Kuan, are you still afraid of them? ”

Zu Kuan's black face turned red, and he said loudly: "I am willing to be a pioneer, cross the river to pursue the thief army, and strive to annihilate it in one fell swoop!" ”

"Exactly! Go ahead! Then I crossed the river! See you in Yichuan Castle! Zu Dale smiled and nodded in agreement.

Zu Kuan shook the reins of his horse, shouted at his soldiers and jumped into the river, and even the pontoon bridge was too late to leave, so he rode through the water and chased towards the opposite bank.

And Zu Kuan's subordinates were also excited at this moment, the last time in the battle of Liuquan Town, the Xingtian Army left a deep impression on them, and they even said in private that they would rather deal with a thousand other thieves alone than encounter this terrible Xingtian Army again! Originally, this time with the army, many people played drums in their hearts, for fear of encountering such a big defeat again, but I didn't expect that the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army encountered today were so bad, although some of them still performed quite strong after the break, but most of them obviously did not have the fighting spirit of the day, and fled to the north bank of the river at the touch of a button, since the thief army has been defeated, then what is there to be afraid of? Seeing that Zu Kuan had already jumped into the river and killed the other bank, so these Zu Kuan's men all screamed and screamed, so they followed and jumped into the river, and followed Zu Kuan to the other side of the river.

When Zu Dale walked across the north end of the pontoon bridge, he also paid special attention to the pile of firewood and grass piled up at the head of the pontoon bridge, and faintly smelled a smell of fire oil in his nose, so he laughed and said: "It seems that the thief army didn't plan to stop us on the south bank at all, and even the pontoon bridge has been sprinkled with fire oil, and it didn't have time to light it and disperse, the thief army is just like that!" Speed up my way across the river and send my troops to the city of Yichuan! ”

Thousands of officers and soldiers, under the command of Zu Dale, rumbled across the pontoon bridge, boarded the north bank of the Baijiang River, and chased in the direction of the retreat of the Xingtian army.

After Zu Kuan crossed the river, he constantly urged his generals to speed up the pursuit of the defeated thief army, so as soon as he and his generals crossed the river, they began to chase after the Xingtian army that had broken all the way.
