West of Zhenjiang, thirty miles away.

In the wilderness, more than 60,000 troops marched in a circle, the team was more than ten miles long, and the infantry cavalry and carts were mixed together, and fled eastward in a hurry.

The rebel non-commissioned officers dragged their weapons and flags, and many of them took off their armor and threw them on their carts, while the soldiers who drove the carts vigorously brandished their whips and whipped their mules and horses to urge the vehicles forward.

The official road was covered with dust, and the eastbound wheels were rolling, and in the rice fields on both sides of the official road, there were also soldiers running fast.

"Hurry up! When you get to Zhenjiang, it's safe! The generals rode on their horses, saw the tired soldiers, and urged them again and again.

King Lu and Jin Shenghuan and other generals stood on the dirt slope next to the official road with a melancholy face, looking down at the soldiers who retreated in a hurry, and looked nervously to the west from time to time.

They had already received definite information that the chasing cavalry was the rampaging horse army that had been sharpening their knives in Huguang for four years.

In order to fight against the strong enemy in the north, the horse army trained by the strength of the country was actually against them in the first battle, and Prince Lu of the Ming Dynasty actually became their whetstone, which is also ironic.

Since Guanning surrendered to the enemy, the Ming Dynasty has no large-scale cavalry, and the imperial court has tried its courage and spent millions of silver taels every year, and finally built such a cavalry, filling the gap in the Ming Dynasty's horse army.

30,000 cavalry, which is a fatal blow to the rebels, retreated from Nanjing to Hangzhou, the nearest route is to go south to Luyang through Yixing, Changxing into Huzhou, Zhejiang, but because of the fear of being caught up by the cavalry, was surrounded in the middle of the road, King Lu can only walk along the waterway, in case of being overtaken, you can also escape by boat.

The army is going to Zhenjiang, there is a city to rely on, you can rest safely for one night, the next day in jumping to the east bank of the canal, you can get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry, King Lu anxiously looked around, he looked east at Zhenjiang City, to the west in the direction of Nanjing, full of urgency.

"Catching up!" On the dirt slope, Xiao Qihui and the others suddenly exclaimed.

When King Lu heard the sound, he looked west, and sure enough, he saw a group of more than 1,000 cavalry behind the tail of the army, carrying rolling dust, killing them.

The rebels, who were already tired and fleeing, were immediately in chaos, and many soldiers who had lost their strength were frightened by the cavalry, and actually puffed up their last breath and ran wildly, and boldly looked back, only to see more than a thousand officers and cavalry, like a rolling wind, rushed up, and immediately chilled.

The rebel sergeant couldn't help but scold angrily in his heart, the thieves of the dog day and the army have already admitted defeat, and they are still chasing after their mother, this is to kill them all!

The fierce general Zhao Shenkuan had a hideous face, holding a cavalry gun as always, galloping in front of the thousand troops, the war horse galloped, and the cavalry crashed into the tail of the deserter in a blink of an eye.

A thousand cavalry entered the rear of the rebels, and the rebels behind immediately rushed forward in terror, which caused panic among the rebels in the middle.

"What about Your Highness?" Xiao Qihui asked urgently, if he didn't react, more than 60,000 people would be disrupted by these thousand cavalry, forming a rout, and it would become a laughing stock in the world!

King Lu looked at the situation at the end, his face gloomy, "Jin Du Town, you take someone to block it!" ”

Jin Shenghuan didn't talk nonsense, walking behind was his Wu Wei army, he immediately hugged his fists, pulled out his horse and rushed down the dirt slope, and the more than 400 cavalry stationed on the horse below immediately followed him, against the direction of the soldier's escape, galloped towards the tail, to block the officers and soldiers who crashed into the tail.

Jin Shenghuan jumped on the horse with a spear, his face was murderous, and the cavalry behind him held the weapons in his hands tightly, one of them took out the horn, galloped while blowing, the whining horn sounded, and the fleeing Wuwei army was slightly stunned, this was the horn sound of the cavalry, and the knights of the Wuwei Army who were surging forward in panic had reined in the reins of the horse.

There are also more than 1,000 cavalry in the Armed Guards, but they do not form a separate army, but are scattered in various battalions, acting as escorts in peacetime, or taking on the responsibility of scouts.

Jin Shenghuan galloped on the side, and there were constantly cavalry of the Armed Guards along the road, converging towards him, and in a short time, there were more than 1,000 horsemen behind him.

When King Lu saw Jin Shenghuan going to meet the pursuing cavalry, he sighed heavily in his nose, and then ordered: "When the chasing vanguard arrives, Wang Shixiu's brigade of horses will inevitably arrive in a blink of an eye!" We are still more than 30 miles away from Zhenjiang, and we will be caught up by them before we reach Zhenjiang! ”

On the dirt slope, Xiao Qihui, Wang Yi and the others all had heavy faces, everyone knew what this meant, and a bloody battle was inevitable.

"Your Highness! Fight with them! Ruan Jun's face was hideous, and he suddenly raised his arms and shouted, but Feng Jing on the side turned pale.

"That's right! So far, there is only a decisive battle! If you can't run away, you can only fight hard, Wang Yi solemnly clenched his fists.

The surrounding generals of the Zhejiang army, their faces are resolute, they are not like the officers and non-commissioned officers below, in the words of the imperial court, they are all evil leaders, and they are the backbone of the army that follows King Lu.

In the city of Nanjing, there were nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers, all of whom were clans and descendants of Taizu, but they were killed cleanly. The Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly three hundred years, who dares to do such a rebellious thing, the heart of the king thief Sima Zhao is clearly revealed, and the **** Gao Yigong will kill all of them, these rogues kill people, and their hands are too ****** black.

If the crowd falls into their hands, they will certainly not be pleased, and in this case, the rebellion will arouse the hearts of the people to resist.

King Lu looked around at everyone, his face was full of slaughter, "Send the order down, the army is arrayed, ready to meet the enemy!" Saying that, he pulled out the sword at his waist, and the sun shone on the sword flashing with pieces of silver light, "Generals, the rise and fall of the imperial family, and in this battle, the lone king and the generals will encourage each other!" ”

"Zhongxing Imperial Family, we will fight to the death with His Royal Highness!" At that moment, Xiao Qihui, Wang Yi and others clenched their fists together, the armor pieces on their bodies were rattling, and everyone looked murderous.

A terrible and sharp horn sounded, and the banner waved on the head slope, conveying the order of the army to line up on the spot, but the generals wanted to fight, but the soldiers only wanted to go home, and when they retreated from Nanjing, their morale had already plummeted.

Many soldiers wanted to continue to flee, but they barely stopped the eastward escape under the shouting of the officers and even slashed with their swords.

Nearly 60,000 horses, like a cart moving forward, slowly stopped, and in a panic lined up in the wilderness, and the soldiers put the cart in front of the formation, and began to cut down trees and fiddle with the horses.

Zhao Shenkuan led the cavalry, charging at the tail of the rebels, as if entering a no-man's land, he heard the horn of the rebels rise and fall, and immediately looked at the rebel brigade vigilantly, the rebels in front and in the middle, have stopped their pace, lined up on the spot, only the rebels behind, because they crashed in, are still in chaos.

"Look, General!" At this time, a hundred households beside Zhao Shenkuan suddenly shouted loudly.

Zhao Shenkuan looked for prestige, only to see a group of cavalry in the chaos galloping towards them.

is the first general, with silver armor and white helmets, a white cloak, carrying a spear, riding a white horse, just like Changshan Zhao Zilong in the storytelling, who is not Jin Shenghuan.

Seeing this, Zhao Shenkuan snorted coldly, rode his spear as soon as he raised his horse, and then rode forward, and the cavalry behind him saw that they were following closely behind, and shouted excitedly one by one, this is to hedge against Jin Shenghuan, who is famous in Chu Jiang.

Jin Shenghuan obviously only said Zhao Shenkuan's intentions, he is also a famous person in the world, how could he be afraid, he immediately raised his spear and accelerated the speed of the horse, and his eyes revealed a strong killing intent.
