Chapter 335, Battle (3)

Huang Degong led his cavalry and caught up with a group of thieves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info This group of thieves is not elite at first glance, they are old and small, and there are some women in the middle. And they didn't have any armor, not even weapons - they had already lost their weapons on the way to escape. And even if there were, it would hardly pose any threat to Huang Degong and his family, because Zhang Xianzhong would not waste good weapons on them, and their so-called weapons were often just a wooden stick that burned out the tip with fire. Now facing Huang Degong and his cavalry, these people just instinctively shrank together, trembling with fear.

Huang Degong doesn't plan to spend too much effort on these people, although these people also have a head on their shoulders that can be regarded as military merit, although Huang Degong knows that if Liu Liangzuo is replaced, he will definitely cut off everyone's heads without hesitation, but he still feels that these people are just ordinary people who were coerced by Zhang Xianzhong, and cutting off these people's heads for military merit is not the work of a strong man.

However, Huang Degong can't just ignore them, he doesn't care about them, it won't be long before these people will be cut down by the infantry chasing after him.

"Are you willing to surrender?" Huang Degong rode his horse, took two steps forward and shouted, "Surrender and avoid death!" ”

Huang Degong's subordinates also shouted: "Descend early!" Early drop! ”

At this shout, the thieves all knelt down and shouted, "I will surrender!" ”

"Tian San. Take a few men and take them back to their custody. Huang Degong said, "Don't let people cut them all, and don't let them run away." ”

After saying this, Huang Degong saw that Tian San seemed to be a little hesitant, so he said: "God has the virtue of a good life, even if we cut them, the court can now have a few dollars for us." Besides, I've heard that the Zheng family has been buying people everywhere to farm overseas. Leave them behind, and maybe sell them for some money. As for the merits or something, when have I ever made you suffer? ”

"Lord, how dare the little one think like that? It's just that we are running in front of Liu Liangzuo now, and the little one escorts these people back, and he will run into Liu Liangzuo head-on, and the little one is not sure that he can protect these people in front of Liu Liangzuo. Tian San hurriedly explained.

Huang Degong was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves. He turned around and looked over there, and saw Liu Liangzuo riding a horse, wearing a big red cloak on his body, brandishing a big knife and rushing straight over, it was really majestic and murderous!

"Liu Shuai......" Huang Degong didn't have time to shout, when he heard Liu Liangzuo shouting loudly: "Sons, kill thieves!" Kill the thief! While urging the war horse to rush straight into the thieves.

"Kill!" Liu Liangzuo shouted, like a thunderbolt in the sky, and at the same time, with a wave of the big knife, he immediately cut off the head of a thief who felt bad and wanted to stand up. More cavalry also followed Liu Liangzuo and rushed straight over, and the sound of killing was shocking, but with a cup of tea, this group of thieves was killed cleanly.

Liu Liangzuo also rode over at this time, and watched his subordinates jump off the horse to collect the heads with a smile, and said to Huang Degong: "Huang Shuai, are you resting here?" Also, today is exhausting me! The dog's rogue ran a few east and west. Damn, in order to cut off a few heads, I tired Lao Tzu like a dog. Well, Huang Shuai, you have a good harvest, look at everyone almost has a head! ”

Huang Degong also looked at Liu Liangzuo's family members, and saw that their horses generally had three or four human heads hanging on their necks, including men in the prime of life, as well as old people and children. In addition, he also noticed that there seemed to be a lot less cavalry around Liu Liangzuo.

"Liu Shuai, why are there so many people left? Besides, these people have already surrendered to me! Huang Degong said.

"What? Huang Shuai, you are still surrendering at this time, and what are these people worth surrendering? Liu Liangzuo stared at the copper bell with his eyes.

"Or else?" Liu Liangzuo's face suddenly appeared with a slightly embarrassed expression, "I really don't know about you...... They surrendered, and I thought you were tired of chopping...... Why don't I keep forty of these heads for you? Honestly, killing these rogues is the right way. ”

Huang Degong actually didn't want to fight with Liu Liangzuo, anyway, the person was already dead and his head was cut off, what else could he do? So he nodded, and then asked, "Liu Shuai, why is there so little cavalry left in you?" ”

"I'll let the sons and daughters spread out, in groups of 100, so it's more convenient." Liu Liangzuo replied.

"What if we encounter a brigade of thieves?" Huang Degong asked.

"Thief brigade?" Liu Liangzuo laughed, "The thieves are not iron-clad, they ran all night last night, and they all ran away, where can there be any thief brigade." Huang Shuai was too cautious. ”

Huang Degong listened, shook his head, but didn't say anything. He also felt that he might be too careful, but he didn't plan to scatter the cavalry in his hand like Liu Liangzuo.

"Okay, Huang Shuai, you continue to rest, let's go first." Liu Liangzuo arched his hand towards Huang Degong, and then urged the horse to turn around and leave. At this time, the cavalry under his command had also finished cutting off the heads, and they hung the heads under the horses' necks, and then took advantage of the time when Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong were talking to quickly catch their breath. Some people took out the kettle and drank the water, while others took the opportunity to catch the water and nibble on the bread.

"Ah Hui, go get forty heads for Huang Shuai." Liu Liangzuo said.

"Hmm." One of the housekeepers answered, and turned to prepare the head.

"Hurry up and eat and drink, and then we'll go and cut off people's heads!" Liu Liangzuo shouted loudly.

"A bunch of head dogs! Nothing, it's going to fucking steal people's heads! A family member next to Huang Degong scolded in a low voice.

"Let's go, change directions, don't get mixed up with them." Huang Degong said.

……

Li Dingguo lay on his stomach in the grass on a small mound, holding a telescope, carefully checking the enemy's situation. This telescope was obtained from Zuo Liangyu some time ago, but there were too few of these things, and only two were seized in total. People who lead troops to fight naturally know how useful this thing is, so Zhang Xianzhong regards this thing as a baby, but this thing is a treasure. He carried one with him, and the other was often temporarily allocated to his godsons according to the needs of the war. This time, Li Dingguo needed to be in charge alone, so this telescope was temporarily used by him.

The telescope was able to detect the enemy at a great distance, which made the conventional ambush method a certain problem. Because it is difficult for the ambushed side to maintain a high degree of concealment for a long time, at least, most armies in this era cannot keep their soldiers in one place motionless for several hours, so they generally hide when the enemy is close enough. If the ambushed party had a telescope, perhaps they would have spotted the enemy who had not yet had time to hide before the ambusher found themselves.

Li Dingguo didn't know if his opponent had a telescope in his hand, so he hid his troops behind the mountain, and he hid in the grass at the top of the mountain and used the telescope to observe the situation there. Behind the mountain, he hid 2,000 cavalry, most of which were brought by the third Liu Wenxiu.

Under normal circumstances, only 2,000 cavalry is not enough to kill Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, and on this battlefield, there are nearly 30,000 soldiers in their hands. There were about two thousand cavalry alone. But Li Dingguo knew that if they came out to harvest those heads running all over the mountains, then their army would also follow those heads running all over the mountains and fields, and lose control in the process, and chase all the way, cut off people's heads all the way, and at this time, their physical strength will also be very depleted. If he was attacked by these two thousand cavalry at this time, Li Dingguo felt that he had every chance to collapse the entire Ming army, even if he only had two thousand people, and his opponent was ten times more than himself. Of course, if they don't come out, it's nothing, just enough to bring those consumables to Fengyang to attack the city.

At this time, Li Dingguo could already see the scattered Ming troops in the telescope, and they were in groups of hundreds of people, chasing and slashing the fleeing heads everywhere. It seems that Li Dingguo's plan was very successful. However, now is not the time to launch a counterattack immediately, and Li Dingguo will continue to see.

Soon, a team of cavalry appeared in Li Dingguo's field of vision, this team of cavalry is very well equipped, everyone has armor, and the horses look good, but they look tired, although the distance is a little farther, but Li Dingguo can still vaguely see a lot of human heads hanging on the necks of the horses, and some horses even have a circle around their necks, like wearing a circle of Buddhist beads.

"This must be someone's house. The family was scattered. Also, there are individuals on this team who are better equipped. Li Dingguo looked at it and thought at it, and suddenly found that there was a cavalry whose armor was particularly beautiful.

The enemy's family members appeared and dispersed, and there may be generals among them, and Li Dingguo felt that the opportunity to attack was coming soon.

At this time, a group of fleeing chiefs caught the attention of the cavalry, and they immediately chased after them, slashed and slashed, and then added loads to their horses. Li Dingguo noticed that this team, whether it was the movements of the people or the movements of the war horses, looked very tired and weak. And when they had slain them, they all sat down on the ground to rest.

Li Dingguo slowly retreated into the deep grass, and then descended from the back of the hill. His sworn brother Liu Wenxiu hurriedly greeted him and said, "Second brother, how is it?" ”

"Here, the time is almost up, let the brothers get on the horse, let's go and destroy those fools!" Li Dingguo said.
