Niu Jinxing miscalculated again, just after the end of the day, there was a Datong army running to the front of the camp to challenge, everyone slept so soundly and didn't bother to pay attention, they simply fired artillery into the camp, and the fire was still loud. The rebels who kept vigil were fired, and they used large and small cannons to fight against these troublemakers, in fact, it was dark and dark, and they were beaten blindly on both sides, but the movement was so loud that the rebels were called to get up, rubbed their eyes and went to the camp fence to be on guard, and the above also ordered that no one was allowed to leave the camp without authorization, and if there was any movement, they would be hit with random arrows and cannons.

At dawn, the rebels found that the other party was only two or three hundred people, and the leader was actually Hou Xiaohao, the general who broke into the camp, and the others were also his subordinates - these guys were said to have surrendered to the enemy in the Tiger Prison Pass, and they ate the leopard's gall to find the door to die, and the rebels pointed at the traitor and scolded. Hou Xiao was shameless, deliberately took off his helmet and fanned the wind, revealing his big bald head, which aroused public indignation, and some people immediately shouted that he had slaughtered this rebellion that had forgotten his ancestors and surrendered to the north.

"What do you know, I've heard of the Eagle Eagle, the Eagle Lord is a big official in the Datong Army, and the Lord will be mixed with the Datong Army in the future." Hou Xiao patted his chest arrogantly, and the righteous army was suppressed at once - the people in the northwest all know the name of the eagle, that is a person who can play black and white, and he can be regarded as a tyrant in the northwest, and there are only a few people in the righteous army who can talk to him, such as the old king Gao Yingxiang and Liu Guoneng who broke the sky, and this person is not easy to mess with. Hou Xiaohao was even more proud, pointing at the righteous army and shouting, "The eagle master is waiting ten miles to the south, and the blind man Li has the courage to come to fight, and he doesn't dare to come because he is cowardly." ”

It didn't take long for Li Zicheng to lead the army out of the camp, and personally commanded 10,000 bandits to attack the front of the Datong army, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo led 20,000 elite horses and 50,000 foot soldiers to the south to outflank the Datong army from the side.

The battlefield that had been silent all night boiled again, but it couldn't be fought for a while and a half - the Datong army erected hundreds of formation walls in front of the big array overnight, and also set fire to thousands of small cars thrown on the battlefield to form a wall of fire to block the way of the thieves.

More than ten miles south of the Yellow River embankment, the cavalry left association and the infantry front association have been in strict formation, Zhang Ding and Hou Shijie led the officers to climb a high ground, while gnawing dry food while pointing to the front - the southern line of the Datong Army was originally defended by a battalion of cavalry Zuo Xie and Shanxi Left Association, Du Wenhuan was worried about the lack of troops, and coordinated the infantry front, this is the troops brought out by the full column, accustomed to attacking and disdainful of defense, Hou Shijie directly pulled the troops to the field to meet Zhang Ding's cavalry, intending to attack the attack and defeat the thieves.

After discussing it for a while, everyone agreed that this kind of battle was not worth mentioning, and that the two old troops who did not fall behind in the battle with the Qing army were simply able to deal with the thieves - the officers felt that it didn't matter, and they began to talk nonsense.

"Grandpa Liu, why are you here too? Lao Hou and I can't use you to supervise the battle! Zhang Ding said with a smile to Liu Wenzhong, who was mixed in with the officers.

"Our family, our family wants to make military contributions." Liu Wenzhong's face flushed, he has made a lot of money over the years, the small days have become more and more moisturized, and he also took his brothers from his hometown to Datong, planning to rely on it and not leaving, Li Yu is friendly enough, and designated him as a federal councilor, the eyes of others are always weird, Liu Wenzhong also feels that he should do something to show his face, but he can't do anything except speculate on stocks and bonds, he can only make up his mind on military merits, and it is best to make meritorious contributions to fight thieves, so he bought four of the latest double-barreled horse guns and took his two nephews to go out with the army.

"Military merit is easy to do, you say, how many heads do you want, we will give it!" Ma Jinzhong, deputy assistant commander of the cavalry left association, interjected.

"That's not good, our family has to kill a few thieves with our own hands, so as not to make the villagers laugh." Liu Wenzhong replied seriously, and the generals burst into laughter, this Liu Gonggong is really fun!

A cavalry galloped from a distance, and Hou Xiaohao jumped off his horse and ran to report. "Eagle Master, Eighth Uncle, the thieves are here, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people, and there are about 20,000 people riding cattle alone."

"Old Hou, I'll go up and say hello to them first." Zhang Ding applauded and laughed, and then left with Ma Jinzhong and a group of cavalry officers.

"We still fight according to the old rules, Tie Biao and Zhang Yichuan take the lead, Feng Shujie guards the artillery and walks forward, and Peng Dashun and I respond." Hou Shijie bent up and said, the generals shouted to obey the order, and went back to the headquarters with a smile.

The rebels were marching rapidly, and found that there were enemy cavalry approaching, the cavalry in front stopped advancing, and covered the infantry behind the whole formation, but the opponent was not many in number, only a thousand people, pointing and pointing did not dare to approach, Li Guo immediately decided to lead five thousand cavalry to cover the past, and the opponent no longer hesitated, but also accelerated to catch up. The two sides galloped closer and closer, the other party's leading guy put the knife in his mouth, suddenly raised his bow and shot hard, an arrow hit the throat of the brave general Liu Michang, almost at the same time, the Datong cavalry arrows fired together, and then collected the bow and swung the knife to kill through the front team of the breaking army, and most of the five or six hundred elite cavalry who rushed to the front of the army fell off their horses in a moment.

Liu Michang is one of the eighteen cavalry of Shangluo, the old foundation of the army, so easy to be plotted, Li Guo roared, "The iron cavalry rushed up and killed all this group of Tartars", and hundreds of heavy armored cavalry of the army waved their knives out and pounced on the Datong iron cavalry head-on.

Easily shoot the enemy general, cut hundreds of its forwards, the Ordos warrior Su Hai was very proud, whistled hard, and more than 1,000 cavalry under his command almost stopped the horse at the same time when he was a hundred steps away from the heavy armored cavalry of the breaking army, and then turned around and fled, before leaving, he also looked back and played a round of horses, and knocked dozens of cavalry off the horse, the army still wanted to chase, but the horse could not rush, and the opponent's horse speed was getting faster and faster, and soon ran away.

The army was still hesitating whether to continue to chase, the flank suddenly appeared another enemy horse, the opponent's speed was too fast, rushed close to a hundred steps with a bow and arrow, horse salvo, the army was caught off guard by being shot down more than 100 horses, hurriedly turned the horse's head to counterattack, but just began to accelerate, the other party rushed over, and after a while, it detoured back to the other side of the army, and slipped away after several attacks - the army was not an opponent to play horsemanship, and wanted to fight and couldn't catch up, but because of the chaos of continuous turning, he had to reorganize the team, and then another enemy horse appeared, once again launched a short attack like a dragonfly dotting water, and the intrusive army was beaten several times in a row.

Datong Iron Cavalry took turns to attack, repeatedly harassing the opponent, repeatedly attacking and harassing the army, repeatedly counterattacking and fighting in the air, tired people and horses, simply stopped in place and did not leave, scolding the opponent for playing scoundrels, Li Guo was also a little helpless - the war horse is not as good as others, the riding and shooting is not as good as others, the weapon is not as good as others, and it is impossible to be beaten in vain, what is the use of more people! Liu Zongmin also felt panicked in the back, the number of the other party was not large, but he could ravage the five thousand cavalry of the intrusive army so much, I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck if it is defeated, and he hurriedly sent the three thousand cavalry of the Cao battalion and the one thousand cavalry of the Xiao Yuan battalion to support - there are many people in the righteous army who are cattle and horses, but there are very few who can be qualified for cavalry, and most of the 10,000 people handed over to Li Guo before and after are also indiscriminate, but there is a horse at all, and they can always fight with the strength of the crowd.

Li Guo's confidence in getting reinforcements was greatly increased, and he mustered up the courage to pounce on the opponent again, and a large number of soldiers in the army were also closely behind, Zhang Ding did not dare to fight hard, so he had to retreat. Li Yu led the Flying Tiger Battalion to the southern front at this time - the frontal defense was supported by Zhou Yuji and Sun Shoufa, and the thieves could not shake it, but the disparity between the forces of the two sides on the southern front was too great, and Li Yu was a little relieved.

"Uncle, the cavalry of the thieves has increased again, and I'm afraid that the sky eagle is a little difficult, so just let me go up and fight for a while." Hadari leaned over and said.

"You stay by my side honestly, don't go anywhere," Li Yu replied coldly, raised his clairvoyance and continued to observe - the intrusive army does not seem to be able to ride and fight, not only is the formation loose, but also has almost no riding and shooting ability, and will only rush forward in a swarm, if it weren't for the large number of people, I'm afraid that Zhang Ding would have already made a big fight, and the two reinforcements of the enemy cavalry are also strange, not close to the main force but hiding behind the rubbing, a large number of cavalry behind are actually mixed with foot soldiers, will these guys fight?

The thief cavalry had inferior horses and lack training, which was inferior to the cavalry of the Ming army-Li Yu came to this conclusion, turned his head and ordered, "Rabudu, Li Dingguo, Shukuer, Liu Wenxiu, you four sentry posts go up together and teach the thief cavalry a lesson!" ”

"Uncle Erlu, we are also going into battle to kill thieves." Guitu and Utai squeezed over and shouted loudly, and when they saw Li Yu nodding in agreement, they excitedly ran away with Rabudu and his group.

Four sentinels and a thousand flying tiger horsemen shouted and killed, the army quickly divided into two cavalry to intercept, the opponent's cavalry shooting was too accurate, and hundreds of lives were lost before forming a pinch, and before the hand-to-hand combat began, the other party suddenly accelerated to throw them away and rushed towards the main formation of the army. The army was caught off guard and suffered a big loss, but it formed an encirclement with the cavalry that reflexively killed back, and when it was about to close the encirclement, the Flying Tiger rode a beautiful turn and drilled out from the cracks, and the Breaking Army pounced, and had to turn the horse's head to continue the pursuit - after being played by the other party a few times, the Breaking Army was so tired that people and horses were tired, and then the Flying Tiger rode fiercely.

"Brothers, line up in a wedge-shaped cavalry formation, and follow me to kill through the enemy formation." Rabudu is the deputy battalion officer of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and he has had enough of leading the little brother to play, and suddenly kills the weak points of the intruding army.

"I'm in the lead, the Turks have killed the Rakshasa ghosts, and it's no problem to fight the barbarians." Shukur excitedly pulled out his horse's gun and rushed to the intruder first.

Several rounds of horse salvos, the invasion of the army was punched out of a gap, the invasion army was still wondering why the other party did not have a fire rope, the dense rain of arrows shot them down again, the flying tiger riding like a sharp knife stabbed into the invasion army array - superhuman horsemanship, accurate archery, sophisticated weapons fused into the flying tiger cavalry almost invincible, the invasion army was powerless to block, all within fifty steps fell off their horses, and the living people dodged one after another.

Luo Dayong of Cao Ying and Yuan Shizhong of Xiao Yuan Ying were already grinding behind, and they were even more frightened at this time - they were the real cavalrymen, and their little ability was not an opponent at all, so the two of them turned their horses around and ran away. Zhang Ding saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and immediately commanded the three battalions of Xiao Sigui, Bao Rongge, and Su Hai to attack at the same time, and the breaking army was in danger of collapse.

Li Guo knew that the big thing was not good, regardless of life and death, he led two hundred personal soldiers to rush towards the Flying Tiger Cavalry, Shukuer was killing vigorously, and found that this team of cavalry was fully armored, and it was estimated that there were big people in it, and he beckoned his subordinates to kill him. After a rain of arrows, Li Guo's own soldiers fell off their horses, and then were wantonly slashed and killed by the other party, Li Guo was brave, gritted his teeth and fought to the death, Wutai and Gui Tu targeted him, and the two of them threw a lasso at the same time and dragged Li Guo off the horse. The main will be dragged away by the two children of the other party, frightened the generals who broke into the camp, and rushed over to save people at the cost of their lives, the two sides scuffled, and the partial general Zhang Nengfei threw off the horse and cut the lasso, picked up the half-dead Li Guo and ran, but was immediately shot down by random arrows, and the army fought desperately to snatch the two back.

The main general was unconscious, the army no longer had the intention of fighting, protecting Li Guo and Zhang Neng to escape, the Flying Tiger Cavalry took advantage of the situation to cut the army into two sections, and joined forces with the cavalry Zuo Xie to surround the two thousand cavalry of the Chuang Army, Zhang Ding shouted "No one is left, shoot them all", the guns and arrows of the Datong Iron Cavalry were shot like raindrops, and the cavalry fell to the ground one by one. Liu Zongmin was shocked, and commanded the foot soldiers to rush up to relieve the siege, and the Flying Tiger Battalion and the cavalry Right Association saw that the thieves were strong, and quickly retreated backwards, and the besieged cavalry escaped for their lives, but there were less than 1,000 people. Liu Zongmin was desperate to relieve the siege for the cavalry, but his formation showed flaws, Hou Shijie kept staring at the intruding soldiers, and found that the other party was in confusion, so he took the opportunity to insert a knife.

Unlike most units of the Datong Army, this association has a complete set of armor, but there are all kinds of weapons, axes, knives, iron whips, maces, and standard knives and spears, and there are not many standard swords and spears, and the soldiers do not line up in battle formations, and ten or eight gather together to rush forward in a chaotic manner -- the infantry front association is a unit brought out by a full column, and has always maintained a style of fighting rampage and being quite unreasonable. The military flag does not fall to the end, the team looks scattered, in fact, the military orders are strict, the combat power is amazingly strong, and the Zuo Xiesun Shoufa Department is tied with the main offensive force of the Datong Army.

"Brothers, follow me and kill all these thieves." Tie Biao took the lead with the left battalion, and saw that the thieves were hurriedly preparing bows and arrows and guns, and ran forward with a shout, but Zhang Yichuan was faster, and rushed to the enemy position first with his sword.

The thieves should be the common people in the lead, but they were frightened, they didn't dare to pounce on the melee, and the soldiers who shot arrows and guns also committed the old mistakes of the Ming army in the panic, and they didn't wait for the other party to get close and beat them indiscriminately, not only did they not hurt the other party, but their own small cannon also exploded. At this time, the five 1,000-pound camp guns of the Central Battalion and the fifteen mortar guns of each battalion arrived at the center, Feng Shujie immediately ordered the artillery to attack, and the Chuang army suffered from the firearms of the Datong army yesterday, and after a few cannons, it became a mess, and the bandits could not drink the soldiers and the people, and they were also squeezed back step by step. Feng Shujie simply protected the artillery team and reloaded as he advanced, and opened the flower shells at the thieves - this thing worked best against the dense crowd without armor.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the army, Zhang Yichuan rushed into the crowd, and the place where the Pu knife swept was invincible, Tie Biao then led the whole battalion to kill together, when the soldiers picked up all kinds of weapons and slashed and killed, ten or eight dared to rampage, the army had never seen such a ferocious way of fighting, and was suddenly blinded, and the corpses were all over the ground in an instant, and the old thieves were also frightened - more than half of the soldiers and thieves in the front of the infantry association were born in ruffians and thieves, and they were fashionable and brave and ruthless, and they were like wolves on the battlefield, and most of the troops were coerced ordinary people, which was the opponent of these people, the tens of thousands of people who were pressed by the black pressure were actually beaten back step by step by the thousands of Datong troops.

"The sweeping king of the dog day, he is in a hurry to reincarnate, he runs so fast," Tie Biao scolded Zhang Yichuan while beating with an iron whip, scattered the surrounding thieves, looked up at the battlefield, and shouted loudly, "Those who ride horses and donkeys must be bandits, hit me with arrows, and don't let anyone go!" ”

The bandits were reluctant to livestock, and crowded into the crowd to become live targets, constantly being shot down by sharp arrows and guns, and some of them were even blown to the point of flesh and blood. Liu Wenzhong's father-in-law also mixed in the Datong army to fight the thieves, while scolding the two nephews for being too slow to load, so that his old man could not enjoy the fight, and saw a bandit on horseback who was shot and fell, he clapped his hands excitedly, and forced the two nephews to cut off the head.

The bandits gave their lives one after another, the others turned their heads and ran, and escaped five or six miles in one breath, Liu Zongmin even fought and killed to close the team, the common people have been frightened, and it is a bad thing to catch up, and the cavalry of the intruding army did not dare to fight cavalry battles again, so they had to take more than 20,000 Ming troops to the battlefield - the old foundation of the righteous army is still too little, and it has swelled to hundreds of thousands of people in two years, and it is okay to fight a good battle, but when you encounter a strong enemy, you feel that there are too few people available, and these soldiers have to be used.

The weapons of the troops are good, and they have received some training, and their combat power is indeed much stronger than that of the common people, and the Datong army is inseparable, and the shouts of killing are earth-shattering, but the strange thing is that the casualties are very small, and the dead are all the old people who broke into the camp.

The troops are really making trouble, and the battalion bastards have a way to pull relationships wherever they go, and a few Shaanxi people here have become fellow villagers, chatting while fighting.

"Brother, take me a knife, listen to the accent, you are from Fugu, do you pay military salaries? The elder brother is a Shenmu person, and we are Yansui fellow villagers. ”

"My mace is here, how can there be any reason why a soldier is not paid? Not only do we have a salary, but we also give back the land, what are you doing well, you have to be thieves! ”

"The ghost wants to be a thief, the elder brother is a few soldiers of He Renlong, the team is scattered, find a place to eat, or I will go to your place, the elder brother will not farm, as long as he is paid."

A few guys over there simply formed an accomplice and hacked the old people who broke into the camp.

"Big brother, I'm from Baode, Shanxi, and I've worked with Hu Shuai, we're a family, do you see that beard? The bones of the thief who suffered a thousand knives, aim at it, give him a hammer! ”

"Hit, brother, I used to work in Datong Town, I was so poor that I couldn't afford to support my family, so I simply defected to the Fengzhou Army, I think a few of you should come over as soon as possible, Li Blind can't become a climate."

"My knife is here, take it, that's it, how can anyone be the emperor even if he is blind in one eye, the 'Eighteen Sons Lord Artifact' must refer to our President Li."

……

The Datong army was waiting for its main iron cavalry force to arrive, while the surrender was to see the direction of the wind in order to decide whether to defect again.
