Under the big fiery red characters, on a five-flowered horse, sat a young general, with a strong and straight figure, silver armor and iron helmet, and extraordinary bearing, but his thin face was slightly tired, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and there was a tiredness hidden in his cold eyes.

This person is Li Dingguo, he hid in the mountains for several months, almost ran out of food, and was at the end of his rope, only to remember Zhang Xianzhong's confession before his death, and offered his seal to the Kuizhou army, and Zhang Cheng, the prefect of Baoning Prefecture, gave Li Dingguo the much-needed grain and grass according to Wang Huan's arrangement, and continued the life of the remaining soldiers of the Great Western Army. He also sent Langzhong to give the injured Li Dingguo medicine to heal his injuries.

At the same time, it also brought Wang Huan's conditions.

"The land of peace and well-being, the upper part can lead to Hanzhong, and the lower part can go to Boryeong, the terrain is critical, and non-credible people cannot stay. Now He Zhen villain entrenched, openly under the banner of the thief swaggering through the market, is the Ming henchmen also, if the country is sincere to Shun Kuizhou General Army, can destroy this traitor, go north and the army gate converges in Hanzhong, the gate will be reversed to meet each other. ”

Li Dingguo recalled Wang Huan's letter again in his mind, and carefully tasted every word, his heart was like a mixture of flavors, complicated and melancholy.

Wang Huan's meaning is very clear, if you want to take refuge in me, you have to die to the ground, don't come to Zhang Xianzhong's set of vanity, as long as you are loyal to me, I will live up to you.

Li Dingguo sighed, knowing in his heart that his reputation was given by Zhang Xianzhong, and it had been corrupted, and when the world heard Zhang Xianzhong's person, the first thought must be that this person is a repeated villain, not to be gullible, Zhang Xianzhong's life is capricious, the most untrustworthy, and his subordinates are no better.

Hunting with flags, surrounded by riders, Li Dingguo ignored it, hanging his head thoughtfully.

"Lord Wang, He Zhenjun is lined up in front, waiting for us to fight." Liu Yun, who was beside him, seemed to be in a trance when he saw Li Dingguo, and hurriedly reminded him: "General, please give an order." ”

"Huh?" Li Dingguo suddenly came to his senses, and then remembered that he was still on the battlefield, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and raised his head with his sword.

The moment his head was raised, Li Dingguo's eyes were tired and tired, and all that was reflected was the sharp spirit, his face was resolute and resolute, and he was full of confidence.

He rode out on horseback and ran back and forth in front of the army, shouting loudly as he galloped.

"He Zhen is a traitor, he can't measure himself, he sees the imperial army coming and doesn't surrender without binding himself, he is extremely ignorant!" Li Dingguo raised his whip and shouted: "Our army has surrendered to the general soldier of Daming Kuizhou, and now it is the official army that eats the emperor's grain. Kill the enemy with me to show the majesty of our men! ”

The remnants of the Great Western Army, lined up in a long snake formation, with Li Dingguo's shout, erupted into a wave of fanatical echoes, in the forefront, all cavalry, soldiers on horses, with swords and spears to hit the shield, banging, throat hissing exhausted reply: "Kill the enemy!" Fight the enemy! ”

Li Dingguo was stationed in front of the Ma Army, standing under the banner of several gates, the long sword in his hand was raised above his head, slowly pointing to the sky, his eyes were staring ahead, and at the border of his sight, He Zhen's military formation was like a black line on the horizon, faintly visible.

The long sword slashed through a short arc and fell suddenly!

Liu Yun kept staring at his sword, and with a flash of sword light, Liu Yun immediately raised the spear shaft in his hand high and obliquely forward, clamped his legs, and drove the horse forward slowly, while shouting violently: "Okay!" ”

The countless cavalry behind him, following closely behind Liu Yun, rumbled with horses' hooves and pressed forward like a wall.

The spear is like a forest, and the knife is like the sea.

As the cavalry marched forward, the speed became faster and faster, from the initial slow march to small steps, and the horses' hooves stepped on the ground like thunder, and the timid trembled when they heard it.

Li Dingguo squinted his eyes, mixed in the third row of cavalry ranks, the entire cavalry line, from a parallel straight line, slowly turned into a wedge, towards a sharp nail, to the formation of He Zhenjun, fiercely stabbed.

He Zhen on the other side, his face was already white, looking at the oncoming cavalry team, he couldn't help whispering to himself: "Crazy, crazy, don't have capital like this, Li Dingguo is crazy!" ”

Immediately afterwards, He Zhen hissed and shouted: "Reject the horse gun!" Reject the pistol forward, reject the pistol forward, the archer forward, shoot the fool who doesn't want to die! ”

He Zhen's army was in a hurry, people ran forward, and carried the spiked horses to the front of the formation, and the archers ran behind the horses, stretched their bows and arrows, and nervously looked at the cavalry team blowing like a hurricane.

The cavalry was already close to five hundred paces away, and the front end of the entire wedge impact formation was Liu Yun.

Liu Yun's eyes were already red, bloodshot, the whole person arched, his legs were slightly bent, as if he was standing on a stirrup with bent legs, the muscles of his whole body were tense, he tied a riding shield with one hand and pulled the reins to protect his upper body, and held a spear in the other, staring at a rejecting horse in front of him, without squinting.

After advancing two hundred paces, the bowstring sounded in He Zhen's army, and the arrows flew up and shot forward.

The cavalry was constantly hit by arrows, screaming and falling off their horses, or the horses were hit by arrows, neighing and falling to the ground with the knights on their bodies, and then being trampled into pulp by the horses behind.

No one looked down, no one felt sorrow and pity.

All the cavalry had cold faces, staring at the approaching repulsion formation, without stopping.

He Zhen stood behind the archers, and the generals trembled in their hearts, this method of breaking the formation is simply overbearing and unreasonable, I have never seen such a cavalry, do you really need capital? The front is a rejection of horses, the natural enemy of the cavalry, the frontal charge is enough to block the impact of hundreds of cavalry, how precious the cavalry is, does Li Dingguo only want to fight this battle?

Liu Yun's horse has arrived in front of the rejection of the horse, his horse is covered with leather armor, although it was shot by two arrows, it is not fatal, and it can keep running, Liu Yun blindfolded the horse with a black cloth, so that it is not afraid and dares to rush straight to the rejection of the horse.

Seeing that he was about to hit the sharp horse rejection gun, the archer standing behind the horse rejection was already dodging in fear, Liu Yun's eyes shrunk, and the reins in his hand were violently raised, he had great strength, almost lifted the horse's neck, the horse was in pain, the person stood up, Liu Yun clamped the horse's belly again, and whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse jumped over the wide horse rejection gun under the stimulation of severe pain.

The horse's hooves landed on the ground, Liu Yun handed over the spear in his hand fiercely, stabbed into the chest of an archer who was shocked and overwhelmed, and rushed straight into the spear formation that had been frightened and showed signs of retreating.

Liu Yun threw away his spear, drew his saber from the saddle, and raised his arms like a god of war and shouted: "Kill!" ”

The cavalry behind him, without such astonishing horsemanship, crashed into the horse rejection pistol, and the horse knights in the first and second columns were tied into a pile like a string of sugar gourds by the spiked spears of the rejected horses, but the rejected horses did not move because they were made of solid wood, but they were pushed away a little gap.

However, when the horses in the third row collided with it, the horses were already covered with corpses, and they could no longer be killed, and they were directly knocked open by the cavalry with huge impact force, and the complete horse rejection wall was knocked out of a large gap.

"Kill!" The cavalrymen who rushed out of the gap, with red eyes and blood, brandished spears and knives, frantically rushed into the formation of He Zhenjun.

"You shouldn't fight with Li Dingguo, you should defend the city as you did when you fought with the Tartars!"

He Zhen's face was like ashes, and he pulled his horse and left.

…….

In Hanzhong City, on the site of the prefect's yamen, which was burned to ruins, a large wooden house was temporarily built, and Wang Huan and a group of generals of the Kuizhou army sat shirtless in the house, drinking gruel and pickles, and were very happy.

"The good news of Ankang was delivered this morning." Wang Huan crunched on the pickled radish and said inarticulately: "Li Dingguo is very good, he destroyed He Zhen in half a month and captured Ankang City." ”

Li Tingyu held the good news in his hand, and responded while reading it: "He Zhen thought that Li Dingguo had stayed in the mountains for so long and had become a rout, so he dared to go out of the city to fight in the field, and wanted to eat Li Dingguo, but he was beaten very badly and fled back to Ankang City alone. ”

He raised his head, stopped grabbing the steamed bun, and said: "Li Dingguo seems to be sincerely attached to the lord, in this battle, he has more than 2,000 cavalry as the capital, these cavalry are Zhang Xianzhong's elite, they are raised with silver on weekdays, and they are easy not to use, if Li Dingguo is not sincere, he will not be so reluctant." ”

Wang Huan took a sip of porridge, rushed the radish in his throat down, and said with a smile: "He is so reluctant, I can't bear it, okay, the test of Li Dingguo has passed, his cavalry is my seed, everyone is worth a thousand gold, but it can't be wasted, they will probably arrive the day after tomorrow, and I will personally go out of the city to greet them." ”

"In addition, it's time to write a letter to the imperial court, telling us about the situation we have done in the northwest, presumably Governor Wang's side is already impatient."
