Chapter 466: The Other Side of the Mountain

"Look at the tiger master, those people in Xiao Yuanying, in the eyes of the brothers, are no different from the Tukou, keep and kill them!"

These Shaanxi men did not speak ambiguously, and did not hesitate to do things, and under Li Guo's order, more than 3,000 old battalion horses of the Shun army followed Xiao Yuan's camp and rumbled across the Hunhe River.

Yuan Shizhong with more than 1,000 horsemen had already been frightened, and he couldn't even resist at all, and it was estimated that he could win it with a hedge, so although Li Guo was anxious, he was also arranged in an orderly manner.

In addition to letting the adjutant chase after him with 2,000 horsemen, he also left the remaining 1,000 old battalion horses to press the formation by the Hunhe River, which is near the junction of Guide Mansion and Wengzhou Mansion, and it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen.

Although Li Guo is brave when he fights on weekdays, his temperament is like a fierce fly, thick and thin, this kind of battle can be won as long as he catches up, there is no need for the whole army to press, and it is also excellent to keep the reserves to react.

At present, most of the people who are following Yuan Shizhong are the old people who were in Henan back then, and the rest of those who know that it is difficult for a person to live alone even if they are not die-hards, and follow the army to take care of each other.

The Shun army horse team only came with 2,000 people, and 500 elite horsemen on each side were outflanked in a roundabout way, this time they seemed to be at full speed, and they approached Yuan Shizhong's team very smoothly.

The remaining thousand cavalry in Xiao Yuan's camp grinned tiredly, watching the other party run to the front of him, and he didn't dare to rush over, nor did he dare to be too slow, there was no way at all.

The encirclement has been formed, Li Guo glanced at the distance, there was still no movement, and the Shandong army might not care about the cavalry of Xiao Yuanying, so he was no longer in a hurry at the moment.

Li Guo lowered his knife and beckoned, and the adjutant on his side smiled when he saw it, and took out beans from the small sack next to the horse's belly to feed the horse.

The same is true of the other elite cavalry of the Shun army, while feeding the horses with beans, while ridiculing the cavalry of the small Yuan battalion in the encirclement, the whole battlefield is filled with laughter and the sound of horses chewing beans.

"Li Guo, Shi can be killed, not humiliated, come if you want to come, don't grind like a Shaanxi girl!"

Wu Shijie, the cavalry officer of Yuan Shizhong, also crisscrossed the north and south, hacking to death many officers and soldiers, and he couldn't stand this wretched anger at all, so he raised his knife and pointed it at Li Guo and shouted and scolded.

Hearing this, Li Guo's smile, which was still smiling, suddenly froze, rode out of battle, and asked:

"Why, Wu Shijie, just rely on you, and dare to shout with me as a tiger?"

Wu Shijie came out of the battle and sneered:

"Li Guo, how did you get the name of this tiger, everyone knows it clearly, the last time you faced the tiger in the cavalry battalion of the Shandong Army, it didn't immediately become a sick cat."

After speaking, the cavalry of the little Yuan battalion behind Wu Shijie laughed, Li Guo was poked in the sore spot, roared angrily, spilled the beans in his hand, and rushed up.

Seeing this, Wu Shijie shouted:

"It's good to come, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The two fought in front of the battle, and the cavalry of Xiao Yuan's battalion kept cheering up, looking very nervous, but the Shun army was more relaxed, and many people were still feeding the horses, and they didn't seem to be worried about the result.

Sure enough, after a few kung fu of crossing the horse, Wu Shijie's mount couldn't bear it at first, and a horse stumbled on the horse, Li Guo seized this opportunity and cut Wu Shijie off the horse with a knife.

"Who else?"

Li Guo held a bloody knife, cut off Wu Shijie's head, and rode his horse in front of the cavalry of Xiao Yuan's camp like a Shura to show off, causing everyone to be shocked and frightened, and kept retreating.

What is Wu Shijie's level, the people in Xiao Yuan's camp know very well in their hearts, that is the old qualification to follow Yuan Shizhong to fight in the north and south, and he will work hard immediately, otherwise he will not be a team officer.

But after only a few kung fu, Wu Shijie was cut down by Li Guo?

At the moment, the horses of the cavalry of Xiao Yuan's battalion were a little restless, and they were constantly pacifying the horses, I don't know if Li Guo was too brave and frightened the horses, or if there was another reason.

Seeing Wu Shijie die like this, Yuan Shizhong was shocked at first, followed by a burst of anger rushing into his heart, but he didn't dare to show his head and go out to find death, but shouted in the formation:

"Okay, you are a tiger, relying on our Yuan Yingren to be sleepy and lacking, taking advantage of the power of people to kill my team officer, it seems that what Shijie said is true, you are really a full Shaanxi girl!"

Hearing this, Li Guo snorted coldly, threw Wu Shijie's head to his adjutant, and said with an expression on his face:

"You take it and get the reward, what Lao Tzu wants is his head in Yuan Shizhong."

The adjutant picked up a great work in vain, and when he couldn't close his mouth with joy, he took it like a baby, rode on the horse and hugged his fists with a smile and said:

"Thank you for your generosity!"

Li Guo's style of doing this, not only has the recklessness of being the commander of the old battalion of the Shun army, but also has a strong disdain for Xiao Yuanying, and it is rumored that Wu Shijie, who is skilled in equestrianism, is so vulnerable, what does it matter to others.

Then there was nothing fun left, and the horses were almost rested, Li Guo then gave the order to end the battle, and the 2,500 elite cavalry of the Shun army recuperated, and Zhengse pressed on the more than 1,000 cavalry of the small Yuan battalion in the middle.

......

"General Qiyu, there is a shout of killing ahead."

About a hill away, more than a thousand cavalrymen in helmets and armor stopped here.

These cavalry looked different from the horse teams of the Shun army and Xiao Yuanying, they wore iron helmets, and in addition to chain mail, each of them also carried a variety of weapons such as cavalry guns, steel knives, and thunderbolts, and even the horses were covered with simple thin armor.

Although there were only more than 1,000 cavalrymen, the flags fluttered in the formation, and the big banner with the word "king" of the yellow dragon was erected in the center.

The one who spoke just now was a pacesetter of the pacesetter battalion, and Xing Yidao walked in front with more than 1,000 cavalry of the regular barracks, and after hearing it, he waved his hand casually, pulled his neck and listened carefully.

Xiao Yuan's battalion sent a lot of people, but in the end there were only three cavalrymen who arrived in Cao County, and the others didn't know whether they died on the road or ran in other directions halfway.

It was still early in the morning, but Xing Yidao was already patrolling the fortified city wall in Cao County, and when he heard the report of the first person from Xiao Yuan's battalion, he was still a little suspicious, but he just laughed it off, and he had no intention of sending troops.

But when the cavalry of the second Xiao Yuan battalion came and said the same thing, Xing Yidao only believed it, and looking at the shocked and frightened appearance of these people, it didn't look like they were lying.

Besides, even if people could lie, Marco wouldn't, and their seats looked like they had been after a long run, which was somewhat believable.

After careful consideration, the punishment felt that it was better to believe it than to believe that it was not.

Xiao Yuan Ying defected to Shandong, that for the Shandong army, it was not only Yuan Shizhong who got it, if other people were estranged from Li Zicheng in the future, or Li Zicheng's momentum weakened, the first thing they thought of was naturally Shandong.

However, if this matter is false, it is a treacherous plan by Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing, who want to seize Shandong, and rashly send troops to lose strength, not to mention, it is even more likely to cause Cao County to defend the actual defense, and he will not be able to escape the blame for the punishment.

At that time, Xing Yidao was ordered by Wang Zheng to lead the 17th battalion of the regular soldiers of Wengzhou Prefecture, including auxiliary soldiers, with a total of more than 30,000 troops stationed in the area of Cao County.

The punishment was to find out, but it was not possible to use too many garrison troops because of this, so after thinking about it again and again, he decided to personally take a thousand cavalry to take the lead, and then ordered Ren Han, the deputy general of Wengzhou Prefecture, to lead 5,000 regular soldiers to line up and follow up slowly.

The journey was not very hurried, and the punishment knife never opened much distance from the rear team, after all, this time is different from the past, and it is best to retreat and respond at any time if something happens.
