Zu Kuan looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but widen, as if he couldn't believe what his eyes saw, but when he looked closely, he found that this was the truth, it had nothing to do with his eyes, everything was beyond his expectations, almost all of his arrangements just now were vacant, first the artillery team was bombarded back, leaving more than a dozen corpses, and then the team of people and horses held back by Zu Kui's flank was also dragged by the thief cavalry, and they are still chasing and fighting back and forth in the north of the battlefield, Immediately afterwards, the team of soldiers and horses sent to clear the wooden fence in front of the thief army's formation, under the sharp volley of the thief army's guns, they were beaten to the point that people were turned on their backs, is this Xingtian army really a thief army composed of displaced people?

This thought was the first thought that came to Zu Kuan's mind, he almost couldn't believe that after his hundreds of iron cavalry had already launched a charge, the large array of the thief army was not chaotic at all, and there was no fluctuation he expected at all, thinking that in such a long time, these thief armies in the Central Plains, facing this Guanning iron cavalry under his command, often as soon as they launched a charge, the other party immediately rioted, this situation can be said to be tried and tested, but today everything seems to be unsuccessful, The thief army on the opposite side was not moved at all, and with such a sharp counterattack, he broke up one of his cavalry teams at once.

In this way, Zu Kuan had to completely put away the heart of the enemy, and hurriedly ordered to collect the defeated cavalry team, let it return to the rear to rest, when the two hundred cavalry came back, there were only more than one hundred and fifty people left, and there were more than a dozen of them seriously injured, as for the war horses carrying these defeated soldiers were also injured under the dense volley of guns of the Xingtian Army, even if they did not fall at that time, after barely running back, some of the war horses fell to the ground with a sloppy neighing, and they were completely wasted.

After those soldiers who were beaten badly fell off their horses, they cried and threw themselves beside their war horses, checking the injuries of the war horses in a panic, one by one as if they had died as brothers, for them, these Guanning iron horses, since they joined the army, they have been staying with their war horses, their combat effectiveness almost comes from these horses, it can be said that on weekdays, the closest thing is these war horses, on weekdays, they have to get up before dawn to feed the war horses, wipe their eyes, and walk the horses, etc., Just like serving their relatives, they served these war horses, and the war horses did not disappoint them, when they went into battle, they carried them to fight in the north and south, and saved the lives of many soldiers like them, but today they didn't expect that just a rush into battle made them lose so many war horses, looking at these war horses lying on the ground, struggling and neighing, and even spitting blood, how not to make these soldiers feel heart-rending pain! Therefore, many soldiers and generals who were injured on their horses couldn't help but hold their horses and cry.

An officer walked up to these soldiers with a blushing face and scolded, "What are you crying about? This is all the abuse created by the thief army, now you are crying, it is better to hold your breath and turn back and kill the past, kill these thief army, avenge your war horses, manly husbands, don't be such little children, don't let them continue to suffer! Give them a break, go back and kill the thief army, and the court will supply you with new war horses! ”

After these soldiers listened, although they were reluctant but also knew that he was telling the truth, seeing their wounded horses struggling, they touched the mane of the war horse, while pulling out their waist knives against the neck of the war horse, only to hear a pop after a while, the mournful neighing of the war horse suddenly stopped, and slowly fell to the ground, some of the war horses were dying, and even shed tears, which suddenly made these soldiers mourn.

Seeing that Zu Kui also led a sentry elite cavalry on the periphery of the battlefield and entangled with the cavalry of the thief army, the cavalry of the thief army was very slippery, but after the first face, and the cavalry under the command of Zu Kui collided head-on, they began to adopt guerrilla methods, and never clashed head-on with Zu Kui's department, one by one slippery like loaches, under the leadership of their officers, urging horses to run around, always so that Zu Kui could not catch their tails, but they refused to retreat from the battlefield, and kept a distance from Zu Kui's department, As long as Zu Kui has the slightest idea of turning around and going to the battle, they will immediately turn around and come back, pestering Zu Kui's department, this kind of play really makes Zu Kui feel aggrieved, and they can't fight, and they can't catch up, which makes Zu Kui's group of Guanning soldiers and generals scream angrily, and one by one they are chasing and scolding.

Zu Kuan shook his head with a helpless face after seeing it, he didn't expect that this light cavalry of the Xingtian Army was so tough, don't look at the small number of people, but it can also be said that they are all elite soldiers, although the equipment and combat power may not be as good as the Guan Ning Army under his command, but the agility is much stronger than his subordinates, if this fights, Zu Kui still can't eat them at all, anyway, now the soldiers and horses responsible for cleaning up the wooden fence of the thief army have been disabled, and it makes no sense to leave Zu Kui to entangle with the cavalry of this gang of thieves.

So he immediately ordered: "Mingjin recalled Zu Kui and them, it's a fucking shame, he can't even eat such a cavalry of the thief army, and he looks good when he comes back!" ”

The sound of Mingjin immediately sounded among the officers and soldiers, and Zu Kui, who was chasing the cavalry of the Xingtian Army, immediately reined in the reins of the horse after hearing the sound of Mingjin, and after scolding, he waved his hand and turned the horse's head, led his soldiers, and retreated towards the main formation, and the cavalry of the Xingtian Army led by Situ Liang also circled their respective horses, and laughed loudly while gasping and scolding the officers and soldiers who had turned their horses back to their own formation.

This time, the head-to-head confrontation between the cavalry of the Xingtian Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry has come to an end for the time being, this battle can be said to be the first time that the cavalry of the Xingtian Army has faced such a strong enemy, although the battle loss ratio is higher than that of the cavalry of the Guanning Army, but it is not a defeat for them, after all, they are a newly built cavalry team, and they can have such a performance in the face of such a strong enemy, which is already commendable, and the most important thing is that they showed a strong fighting spirit, and rushed forward without hesitation when they were at a disadvantage, successfully prevented the officers and soldiers from attacking the flanks of the second battalion, and in any respect, they completed the task assigned to them by Xiao Tianjian, so although there were some losses, they were still very excited, laughed and scolded loudly, and began to follow Situ Liang to ride their horses and run back to their own team.

By the way, on the way back to the battle, they also collected their own brothers who fell off their horses and suffered casualties, and easily cut off the heads of the fallen Guanning soldiers, and only then returned to their own camp after showing off their might in front of the battle.

Xiao Tianjian looked at these cavalry who turned back to the back of the formation, and nodded slightly, after this battle, these cavalry can be regarded as really experiencing a baptism of blood, he has no doubt that sooner or later, these cavalry will become a truly brave real cavalry, and will also become the backbone of the cavalry he will set up in the future.

After this contact battle, the Xingtian Army's side won a big victory, if the cavalry battle was a draw, then this battle was considered a tie, then this battle was considered two wins and one draw, which suddenly boosted the morale of the Xingtian Army, and some soldiers muttered in a low voice with a smile on their faces: "What bullshit Guanning Iron Cavalry, but that's it!" Against our Xingtian Army, they are still vegetables, I'm afraid of them! Let's kill as many as we want, brothers! ”

"Hey, hey! Yes, brother, that's right! Since our Xingtian Army started its army, when have we followed our general to defeat a battle! When I first came, I heard that their Guanning Iron Cavalry was so famous, and I was still a little worried, but now it seems that it is just that, we are with the right person, follow our general's officer, it is happy, others don't say it, I will sell this fate to our general, where the general points to, we will fight in the future! ”

"That's right, speaking of which, among the brothers here, who didn't give his life to the general? If it weren't for our general, we wouldn't know where we would have starved to death! It is estimated that the bones should have been gnawed by wild dogs at this time, and if we can live until now, aren't they all given to us by the general? Isn't it Guan Ningjun? Count it, dare to come up again, and kill them all! ”

"Hey, hey! I can't get another horse meat to eat tonight! ......," said a fellow drooling as he looked at the carcass of the horse in front of the wooden fence.

As a result, as soon as this guy's words fell, he attracted the contempt of everyone, and then the officers shouted: "Silence! Do you want to be beaten again? Don't make noise before the battle, if you forget this, I don't care about going back and cleaning up your guys! ”

So the buzz in the formation immediately subsided, and everyone puffed up their chests again, looking at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and this time was different from the time when they just saw the officers and soldiers appear in front of them, and the little worries at the beginning had been swept away, and the whole army showed a proud look one by one, and raised their chins higher.
