Since last year's thieves in northern Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting took the officers and troops of Yansui Town to put out the fire everywhere, but often pressed the gourd and floated the scoop, although the thieves were not good at fighting, but they could not be eradicated.

There must be many reasons for this, but for Sun Chuanting, he is neither worried about the thieves' infant city holding on, nor is he worried about the thieves occupying the mountain as the king, what he is most worried about is that the thieves are wandering around and never meeting the officials and soldiers.

If today's opportunity is given to finally block these few of the thieves in the small city of Jingle, Sun Chuanting would rather surround it for a year and a half and calmly mobilize a large army to annihilate it, rather than attack in a hurry, causing the thieves to slip through the net again.

But although the idea is good, it is not easy to implement.

Before the siege began, the thieves broke through and fled, and if they really ran out, in the northwest where there are now hungry people, they will be able to grow again in an instant!

Therefore, when Sun Chuanting heard the cheers of Nuoda coming from the east gate a few miles away, Sun Chuanting's mood was extremely depressed.

Could it be that the result that I least want to see is about to become a reality so soon?

When Sun Chuanting was worried and anxious here, He Shiyu, who had lost his camp, was not so pessimistic.

The space outside the east gate of Jingle County is small, and it is only a few miles away from the east gate of Jingle County through the valley entrance of the Yunzhong Mountains to the east.

He Shiyu set up camp in the middle of the entrance of the valley and the east gate of Jingle, and was blocking in the middle of the road back to the camp to the east.

Although the location of the camp was well chosen, due to the short time of camping and the relatively simple fortifications due to the arrival of the site in the afternoon, it was declared lost in less than an hour under the onslaught of waves of thieves.

He Shiyu saw that the trench could not stop the thieves, and the second line of defense of the camp, that is, the fence made of logs, was also pulled by the thieves with ropes, and he knew that the camp could not be defended.

When the fence of the camp was pulled down and the thieves were surging, He Shiyu gave an order, led the remaining 1,700 horsemen, turned around and galloped east.

Seeing this, the thieves under the command of Ma Shouying and Zhang Xianzhong thought that He Shiyu saw that the camp had been breached, so they abandoned the camp and fled.

However, He Shiyu is not fleeing!

The cavalry under He Shiyu's command could only be used as infantry before, in the camp, behind the fence, using a strong bow and a hard crossbow to shoot the thieves who attacked the camp of the officer's army, although they shot a lot of thieves, but in the face of thousands of swarming thieves, they were still outnumbered after all.

This is in stark contrast to the previous situation when hundreds of cavalry could chase thousands of thieves and flee in disarray!

Therefore, at the moment when the camp collapsed, He Shiyu ordered his subordinates to get on their horses, turned around and ran to the valley mouth to the east, first opened a large distance from the thieves who attacked the camp of the official army, and when they reached the entrance of the valley, they ordered the cavalry under his command to stop.

After a regroup, the front team became the back team, and the back team became the front team, and they galloped from east to west again.

The armored cavalry galloping up is naturally not something that these re-affiliated troops and foot soldiers who are cheering for victory can withstand.

The sergeants who were in the short confusion after the victory suddenly saw a large number of cavalry rushing to the east, and they were all dumbfounded, their eyes and legs were fast, and they immediately ran back, and those who were slow to react were knocked to the ground by the cavalry led by He Shiyu, and were either hacked to death by the cavalry on the horse with a knife, or directly trampled to death by the galloping war horse.

All of a sudden, the battlefield situation outside the East Gate suddenly reversed!

Huanghu Zhang Xianzhong was riding on a tall horse, looking at the good situation that had just worked hard, because of a return to the horse pistol of the Ming cavalry, he instantly fell into collapse, and he was also furious at the moment, while slashing the sergeant who fled around him with a knife, while shouting with a hideous face and madness: "Don't run away!" Don't run away! Resist Lao Tzu! Resist Lao Tzu! ”

Zhang Xianzhong shouted angrily, and under the protection of dozens of guards, he stepped forward on his horse, and rushed towards He Shiyu, who was wearing a swallow-winged helmet and wearing Mingguang armor, and the two of them looked at each other, the long knife against the long knife, and a string of sparks shone, and then each of them staggered to avoid with the gallop of the war horse.

Zhang Xianzhong, who rode his horse into the Ming army's array, although he was brave and fierce, successively split several Ming cavalry off his horse, but after all, he was outnumbered, and with the guards around him falling off his horse one by one, he himself was also killed by a Ming cavalryman, slashed his back from behind, and the blood gushed out at the same time, and the armor he was wearing also slipped off instantly.

Zhang Xianzhong was injured in the shoulder and back, his armor slipped off, and all the guards around him were killed in battle, so he didn't dare to fight anymore at the moment, shouted "Attach the army to follow me", and ran towards the east gate of Jingle City first.

Ma Shouying and his return to the camp originally thought that the big thing had been decided, so they notified the troops at the north gate and went to the east gate, preparing to lead the people into the mountain road and go to the direction of Xinzhou, but before the troops on the north gate arrived, the battlefield situation here was reversed.

While Ma Shouying ordered his Hui Battalion soldiers to slash and kill the Hui soldiers who turned around and fled, Ma Shouying kept driving the Hui Battalion soldiers gathered in front of him to charge forward, trying to pass through the crowd of Fu Hui soldiers and fight against He Shiyu's rushing cavalry.

However, the wounded and fleeing of Huanghu Zhang Xianzhong made the attached return army lose its unified command, these attached back soldiers who were originally victims of the return to the camp, with Zhang Xianzhong's escape, they refused to listen to the command of the return to the camp soldiers, no matter how you scolded and intimidated or even slashed with a knife, they just refused to turn back.

At this time, another force that overwhelmed the morale of the returning battalion and the attached sergeants appeared on the battlefield in time!

Du Wenhuan and He Guoxian led more than 1,500 other armored heavy horsemen to roar, rushing into the already chaotic formation of the Hui camp and the Hui army from the south, chopping melons and vegetables, and slashing the thief army blocking the front to the ground.

He Guoxian even bent his bow and shot an arrow towards the leader of the group of thieves with bright armor.

The old Hui Ma Shouying, who was shouting and pointing fingers on the horse, suddenly turned around and saw a sharp arrow coming like a meteor, and the next one turned around to dodge.

The arrow shot by He Guoxian grazed Ma Shouying's right cheek and flew over, although it failed to kill him, but it also left a scar and a face of blood on Ma Shouying's right face!

Dodging He Guoxian's arrow, the immortal Ma Shouying panicked, turned the horse's head and ran back.

The Musu barbarians who were still fighting hard suddenly saw their leader turn around and run, and they had no intention of resisting at the moment, so they fled one after another.

The battle outside the East Gate ushered in a turning point in such a way.

He Shiyu and Du Wenhuan respectively led more than 1,000 armored cavalry under their respective commands, roaring around a large number of Hui Hui battalions and attached Hui soldiers from different directions, using bows and arrows and Qi knives to continuously harvest the lives of the thieves and soldiers.

In the April season, before midnight, the sky is already dawning.

With the reversal of the situation on the battlefield outside the east gate, Zhang Xianzhong took the lead in taking the attached army to escape to the west bypassing the south gate, and by the way, he was going to bring up He Yilong and Lin Yangsheng's headquarters not far from the south gate.

Not long afterward, Ma Shouying's return to the camp of pure wood speed barbarian soldiers also followed the attached Hui army all the way to disperse, detoured to the south gate, and ran to the west.

This situation made He Yilong and Lin Yangcheng panic, and at this time, the sky was already bright, and the task of containing the two was almost completed, so they did not dare to continue to confront the Ming army outside the south gate.

As soon as Ma Shouying's return to the camp was over, He Yilong and Lin Chengcheng took the soldiers of the station, which was also a whistle, and rushed towards the west gate of Jingle City.

Sun Chuanting, who was in the official camp at the south gate, learned that the thieves had returned to the camp to attack He Shiyu's department and failed, and the official camp at the east gate turned from danger to safety, and he was also very happy at the moment, so he first sent a fast horse to order Wang Jiazheng's department outside the north gate to attack to the west, and then ordered the only remaining more than 500 cavalry in the camp to follow him out of the camp to pursue to the west.
