Whoa~

Entering June, the air in the entire Shu land seems to become scorching all of a sudden.

A slight summer breeze blew through the leaves in the mountains and forests.

Under the scorching summer sun, on the road at the foot of Dawang Mountain, a group of rebels in ragged clothes are walking along the shade of the trees towards the mountain.

In terms of numbers, this rebel army numbered more than 2,000 people, and the ranks meandered for thousands of meters, one by one, dejected and listless.

Dawang Mountain is located in the southeast of Huangshi County, hundreds of meters high, covering an area of more than 20 square kilometers, is the largest mountain in the whole Huangshi County.

The team marching at the foot of the mountain was a rebel army that had just been defeated by the Eight Banners cavalry outside Huangshi City, and the leader of the rebels, Tie Jun, was originally a minor general of the slave army.

In May of the second year of Kaihuang, after the uprising along the beach salt field, there was no suppression of Xingbao, the situation in the three counties in the southeast of Gongzhou was detonated at once, and riots broke out in Huangshi and Yujing counties one after another, and the iron army, which was originally the general of the slave army, took the lead in this momentum, and at the most glorious time, a rebel army of more than 6,000 people was raised in Huangshi County, calling himself General Yang Wu, and it was also after the defeat of Huangshi City that it fell to the current point.

"General, do we really want to hide on this Dawang Mountain?"

Marching through the mountains and forests, Liu Sanhe, the deputy commander of the rebel army with a depressed expression, looked up at the towering Dawang Mountain and hesitated.

During the period of the incident, it was the brightest moment in Liu Sanhe's life, he didn't want to be beaten back to his original form again, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to get ahead in the days when he nested on Dawang Mountain.

"Where else can you go if you don't go to Dawang Mountain? Waiting to be beheaded? Don't worry, the grain and grass we have hoarded is enough to support more than half a year! ”

Hearing this, Tie Jun looked up at Liu Sanhe and glanced at him without a good breath, and after speaking, he thought that he was worried about the grain and grass problem on the mountain, and then comforted him.

How could the Iron Army want to give up Huangshi County, which was so hard to get it, but the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners cavalry, which was constantly gathered from all over the country, was too strong to resist it with the strength of the rebels, and if they didn't evacuate, I was afraid that the rest of the people would have to be on it.

"General, now that a large number of Chinese troops are gathering in Yantan County in the south, there will be a big battle in Gongzhou, I heard that they have gathered Zhang Da who surrendered to Yujing County, why don't we go to the Chinese army? Maybe you can get a half-official position, and you can be a rich man no matter how bad it is, why bother to go to this king mountain to be afraid! ”

Liu Sanhe hesitated, and from the tone just now, Liu Sanhe also heard the unwillingness of the iron army, so he couldn't help but admonish.

Although he and Tie Jun were both born in the slave army, they really haven't done anything harmful to nature and reason since the uprising, such as adultery and plunder, if they go to surrender, they will not be embarrassed, which has always had a good reputation in the Huaguo Army.

"This 。。。。。。"

After hearing this, Tie Jun suddenly woke up in his mind, and suddenly swept the towering Dawang Mountain and the rabble behind him and hesitated.

It is true that, as Liu Sanhe said, since his dream of dominating one side has been shattered, it is better to simply lead the troops to surrender the Hua Guo army, at least he can keep some wealth, it is better than being an embarrassed mountain king on this Dawang Mountain.

Moreover, the most important thing is that now the war between the Manchu Tartars and the Hua army in Gongzhou is about to start, and in the face of such a big war of hundreds of thousands of people, how can they see this rabble, if one day the generals under the command of one side will treat them as enemies and kill them, will they not be wronged, and the iron army will be moved for a while.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

"Boom~"

Just as the Iron Army was still hesitating, there was a dense rumbling sound from the northern avenue, and a large earthquake trembled, apparently a large-scale cavalry attack.

"General, no, the cavalry of the Tartars is coming!"

Just when the faces of Tiejun Liu Sanhe and Liu Sanhe changed greatly, a rebel scout came to report with a panicked expression.

"Not good! Enter the mountains and forests now! ”

Looking at the team that was still nearly half still on the avenue at the foot of the mountain, Tie Jun's face changed suddenly, and he immediately ordered in a loud voice.

Although he was a reckless man, he had been in the slave army for so long, and he also understood that the infantry was simply fatal when they collided with the charging cavalry on the flat road, and only by relying on the mountains and forests could the powerful impact of the cavalry be counteracted.

He still understands the simplest tactical common sense.

"Quick!"

"Here comes the Tartars, run!"

It's a pity that the Iron Army still overestimated the endurance of these remnants of the army who had just experienced defeat, and as soon as his order was given, the rebel soldiers stranded on the road in the rear directly broke up, and the routs who ran and fled were in chaos.

"A rabble!"

"Kill!"

In front of the roaring Eight Banners Iron Cavalry Formation, the Qing army general Hetu swept a sneer at the corner of his mouth, raised the war knife in his hand, and shouted loudly to lead the troops to kill the rebels, and the 3,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry behind him was killed.

"Kill!"

"Ahh

"Bang~"

The sound of collision, fighting, and screaming instantly resounded throughout the foot of the mountain.

"Damn! Hurry up the hill! ”

The fleeing soldiers at the foot of the mountain were directly brutally slaughtered by the Eight Banners cavalry, and nearly a thousand soldiers were directly drowned in the torrent of cavalry.

However, it was too late at this time, and the rebel soldiers stranded at the foot of the mountain could not withstand the impact of the 3,000 Eight Banner Cavalry, and all of them were dispersed with a direct charge, most of them died under the knife of the Eight Banner Cavalry, and only a few people escaped.

He Tu ignored the fleeing rebels at all, and after leading his troops to disperse the rebels at the foot of the mountain, he directly turned over and dismounted and chased after the iron army.

Soon, at the foot of Dawang Mountain, except for the 500 Eight Banner cavalry who left to guard the war horses, the rest of the Eight Banner cavalry all pursued the main force of the rebels along Dawang Mountain.

"Driving~"

"Pedal Pedal ~"

"Boom~"

And just when the two sides of the people and horses started a long-distance run on Dawang Mountain, 4 miles away from the foot of the battlering Dawang Mountain, a tiger general wearing black armor and holding a Fang Tian painting halberd was rapidly prancing forward, and 5,000 black-armored cavalry followed closely behind him.

This tiger general holding Fang Tian's halberd is the Nanzhai lord Fang Jie, who was defeated by Gao Zhong in the battle of Jinsha Lake Beach, and after the defeat in the Battle of Jinsha Lake Beach, he defected to Huaguo, and was appointed as a cavalry captain by Su Dingfang, the governor of Luzhou, and commanded 5,000 Tang cavalry.

In May of the second year of the emperor's reign, with the brazen northward advance of the Chinese army, the entire Gongzhou soon became the center of the army.

In the south of Gongzhou, after 10,000 Feiyu cavalry occupied Yantan County, the three battalions of the Western Army, the Northern Army, and the Central Army led by Emperor Sima Yu of Huaguo, plus Su Dingfang's 20,000 Luzhou Army, a total of 150,000 troops arrived in Yantan County one after another.

After pacifying Yantan County, Zhang Da's rebels in Yujing County surrendered under the intimidation of the Chinese Army, and Fang Jie, who had just surrendered, was ordered to lead 5,000 Tang cavalry into Huangshi County as a vanguard army.

"Report! Lord Captain, three thousand Eight Banner cavalry were found four miles ahead, chasing the Iron Army rebels in Dawang Mountain, most of which had already gone up the mountain, and only a few hundred people were left at the foot of the mountain to guard the war horses! ”

In front of the Tang cavalry formation, a scout rode quickly to Fang Jie's side and reported.

Fang Jie's strength bravely crowned the three armies, and although he had just joined Tang Cai, he quickly won the awe of the officers and soldiers in the army.

"Quick! The herald ordered the whole army to speed up, and we have to surprise these Tartars! ”

Fang Jie was overjoyed when he heard this, he had just joined Huaguo, which was really a credit to the door.

"Whoa!"

Thousands of Tang cavalry soldiers responded with a bang, and quickly killed forward in the tremor of the earth.
