On the way to the direction of the sand roll with Cai Xiaozi and the others, the enemy who had just fought with them also regrouped and reappeared. After discovering the intentions of Cai Xiaozi and others, he naturally refused to let the other party get his wish, and desperately blocked the road of Cai Xiaozi and his party.

The remaining dozen or so Shali rolling cavalry once again hedged against Cai Xiaozi's cavalry, this time the enemy's dozen cavalry were completely defeated, the leader of the cavalry was killed by Ma Xiangzhong, and the rest of the charging cavalry were also cut in half.

The foot soldiers were originally entangled with Cai Xiaozi's side under the sacrificial attack of the cavalry, but this time Cai Xiaozi's side quickly broke away from the battle line after not being entangled by the enemy cavalry, and divided into several teams to take turns to attack the enemy foot soldiers.

Ma Xiangzhong killed the leader of the enemy infantry again in the last round of impact, and the already shaky Shali Roll and the rest of the infantry finally collapsed, and everyone fled in a panic, and Cai Xiaozi and his party, who had no intention of pursuing. Cai Xiaozi gathered the remaining combat strength and rushed to the battlefield where Sha Liluo and Zhang Mengjin confronted him.

On the other side of the battlefield, the people of Jinding Mountain led by Zhang Mengjin were also divided into cavalry and infantry teams to attack the battlefield. When more than 70 cavalry on Zhang Mengjin's side entered the battlefield, they found that there were more than 120 cavalry and more than 200 foot soldiers in Shaliluan.

Seeing that Jin Dingshan's gang was small in number, Sha Li was ready to concentrate all his efforts to defeat Zhang Mengjin's side. However, Cai Xiaozi's front team also quickly appeared on the battlefield, and the infantry team that rolled in the sand from the rear assault. Sha Liluo hurriedly allocated his troops and used more than 100 of his subordinates as the front team to intercept Cai Xiaozi, as well as to defend against possible rear troops. He himself concentrated his strength, hoping to decide the winner with Zhang Mengjin first.

In the face of the enemy's superior strength, Zhang Mengjin personally led the team to launch a counterattack from the front to the men and horses rolling in the sand. Zhang Mengguang was unstoppable by the side of his eldest brother Zhang Mengjin, and the other leaders also fought bravely, and the two sides repeatedly reached a stalemate.

After failing to take Zhang Mengjin in several consecutive battles, Sha Liluo took his personal guards to fight in person. Sha Liluan's other subordinates were also demoralized under the leadership of the leader, and Zhang Mengjin's front was in jeopardy.

Cai Xiaozi's ninth uncle saw that the situation was not good, and decisively rushed to support with more than a dozen subordinates. They bypassed the interception of Shari Roll's men and made a threatening impact on Shari Roll's back, opening a gap. Sha Liluo was forced to return to the army to regroup, and Uncle Nine did not love the battle and chose to lead the team to join Zhang Mengjin.

At this time, Jindingshan's follow-up infantry entered the battlefield. Under the leadership of Guan Zhiqing, they first rained arrows and forced back more than a dozen sand rolling cavalry soldiers who were blocking in front. Then the pikemen charged with their weapons in hand, inflicting heavy damage on some of the men who were trying to flank the sand rolls.

Zhang Mengjin and others, who were answered, reorganized the battle line, recovered part of the decline, and once again fell into a stalemate with the Shali Rolling side, and at this time, the Artemisia Peak Cavalry Brigade led by Cai Xiaozi finally entered the battlefield. and more than 100 subordinates who were responsible for intercepting Shariroll fell into a scuffle. Zhang Mengjin hurriedly sent Ma Xiangzhong to ask for a joint army, and then there was Ma Xiangzhong to rescue Zhang Mengcheng.

"Reinforcements are coming, and everyone is supporting. Rolling in the sand is almost over. Seeing that Cai Xiaozi's side had already defeated the intercepted enemy, Zhang Mengjin's side, which was already in decline, regained its morale.

Zhang Mengjin ordered people to shout the news that the sand roll flank had been defeated, which changed the atmosphere on the battlefield. The injured Che Jibao saw the hope of victory, and he laughed happily regardless of a feather arrow on his shoulder.

Zhang Mengjin did not give up this opportunity, and led all his combat forces to launch a surprise attack on the location of Sha Liluan. It's just that because of the previous damage, I have not been able to break through the battle line.

Cai Xiaozi led a large group of men and horses, and also attacked with all his strength towards the place where the sand was rolling. Shari Roll looked at the upcoming victory, and it actually disappeared. Angry and angry, he scolded the subordinates who intercepted him as waste, and led his subordinates to Cai Xiaozi. I hope to kill Cai Xiaozi on the spot, so that Cai Xiaozi's men and horses will be scattered.

Ma Xiangzhong also spotted Sha Liluan and slapped his horse to meet the bandit, but was intercepted by a personal guard cavalryman wearing a red head under Sha Liluan.

Without the interference of outsiders, the two big bosses, Sha Liluo and Cai Xiaozi, directly hedged head-on, and neither of them could win the opponent as they wished in a round of confrontation. In order to protect the leader, the guards on both sides fought each other, but the horses and armor on the side of Shaliluo seemed to be more dominant, and the cavalry on Cai Xiaozi's side fell one after another.

Zhang Mengcheng did not follow everyone to the center this time, but stayed behind, dismounted, took out his bow and arrows, and fired at the enemy in the distance. It seems that because he has been close to death once, Zhang Mengcheng's heart seems to be very calm this time, and the hard work he has been working on has finally brought its toll under a calm mentality, and the enemy has been killed by arrows.

This time, Zhang Mengcheng chose another target, standing in the crowd and constantly commanding a one-eyed dragon of the Shali Rolling Team. As far as Zhang Mengcheng knows, this person should be the second leader of the Shari Rolling side.

Zhang Mengcheng took out a feather arrow, pulled the bowstring and shot it. The arrows made a perfect serpentine movement during the flight, and shot accurately at the target. But then one of the enemy's guards stepped forward and blocked the dangerous arrow for the one-eyed dragon.

Holding the corpses of his loyal subordinates, the one-eyed dragon shouted angrily, summoning all his archers to aim at Zhang Mengcheng. Zhang Mengcheng hurriedly mounted his horse and escaped from the enemy's range, but had to face the chasing Shali rolling cavalry.

This time, Zhang Mengcheng did not choose the waist knife, but raised the bone and rushed to the opponent with a quick step. At the moment when the enemy's line gun attacked, Zhang Mengcheng quickly dodged the line gun, and at the same time knocked the opponent's brain with the bone in his hand.

His threat was lifted, Zhang Mengcheng turned around and found that Cai Xiaozi's men and horses were at a disadvantage. After Zhang Mengcheng took a deep breath, he quickly rushed to the direction of Cai Xiaozi to support. He and the whirlwind team of the four brothers of Cai Xiaozi, who met on the way, smashed an enemy soldier off his horse again.

At this time, a neat drum beat sounded on the battlefield again, and the rear team of foot soldiers at the top of Artemisia finally entered the battlefield. Armed with a variety of weapons, they rushed towards the battlefield under the command of several mugwort leaders.

The infantry team of Shali Roll was the first to collapse, and the two-in-command One-Eyed Dragon killed several deserters in a row, but they could not stop the rout. can only watch this new force continue to chase and harvest their own lives. and was soon entangled by Artemisia Peak's foot soldiers, and was killed by Cai Xiaozi's seventh uncle after a fight.

When the cavalry in the sand saw the infantry retreating, they lost their fighting spirit. was dispersed by Zhang Mengjin and Cai Xiaozi's troops, and fled in all directions regardless of the situation.

Guan Zhiqing saw that the battle situation was decided, and hurriedly held a red banner and asked his subordinates to shout: "Drop your weapons, and those who gather here will not be killed." ”

The original stalemate finally fell to one side, and Sha Liluan, who had been fighting one after another, led the escort to flee to the north. Zhang Mengguang and Cai Xiaozi's sixth brother led dozens of cavalry to chase after them, and finally annihilated the fleeing enemy.

Zhang Mengcheng and Zhou Shaoteng and Fan Shunjiang each took a few brothers to hunt down the fugitives who refused to surrender. Half an hour later, Zhang Mengcheng returned with a few brothers intact, and they brought back three horses and their master's equipment and head.

Counting their respective leaders in this battle, a total of 513 people participated in the battle before and after Jinding Mountain and Artemisia Peak. Zhang's Jindingshan consisted of seventy-six cavalry and one hundred and five infantrymen. The number of participants in the battle at Artemisia Peak was one hundred and twenty-three cavalry and two hundred and nine infantry.

The casualties of Jindingshan were relatively large, and counting those who died of wound infection later, there were a total of thirty-two cavalry and twenty-seven infantrymen. Thirteen others were seriously injured, three of whom became disabled. Minor injuries are not counted, and more than half of the casualties are killed. If it weren't for Cai Xiaozi's timely rescue, Jindingshan would have lost all of his money.

At the beginning, there were thirty-one foot soldiers and three horsemen, who served as the decoy at the beginning. Only one cavalryman escaped, and all the rest were killed. Therefore, the casualties of the cavalry were forty-three cavalry killed and thirty-three wounded. The infantry was in addition to the thirty-one grain team infantry, and the rear team of Artemisia Peak, which finally settled the situation, was almost unscathed.

According to the confessions of the captured personnel, there were 316 people in the Shaliluo battle in Jiuwu Mountain, including 131 cavalrymen. Among them, a total of 177 people were beheaded, including several leaders such as Sha Lilang and his second leader, and 103 people were captured. Sixty-seven horses, one hundred and thirty-seven pairs of armor, and all kinds of swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and arrows were not counted.

According to the final agreement between Jindingshan and Artemisia Peak, Jindingshan obtained all the heads, including the leaders of Shaliluan, fifty captives, eighty pairs of armor and twenty war horses.

The rest of the materials, including weapons, personnel and property, and horse corpses (like Ma Xiangzhong's mount, this irreversible slaughter, Ma Xiangzhong only needs to return the horse's hooves) and so on are all owned by Artemisia Peak.

In addition, it was agreed that Cai Xiaozi's side would destroy the remaining forces in Jiuwu Mountain, and all the personnel and property would be handled by Cai Xiaozi himself.

One of the particularly majestic horses outside the mouth was directly handed over to Ma Xiang Zhong by Cai Xiaozi. In the end, Cai Xiaozi exchanged the reality of some unmarried people in the cottage between the two sides at Zhang Mengjin's place, and the two big bosses actually signed some written agreements between illiterate and semi-literate, which Zhang Mengcheng did not know.

When the final agreement was signed between the two leaders, Zhang Mengcheng was sitting in a tent receiving treatment, and with the help of Guan Zhiqing, he was taking medicine. Zhang Mengcheng had some bruises on his face and back and other places on his body, mainly because he fell off his horse in the battle just now, and the bruises he suffered from the scuffle afterwards.

"It hurts, it hurts. Second brother, you tap. Guan Zhiqing's strength is relatively large, and even if Zhang Mengcheng wants to pretend to be a tough guy, he can't help but scream.

"Hold on, it's going to get better so fast. The old car was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and he didn't look like you when he pulled out the arrow. Guan Zhiqing's movements on his hands did not ease at all, and he continued to apply medicine to Xiucai's bruises.

"Brother Che is doing now, it doesn't matter." Zhang Mengcheng was a little worried, except for the eldest brother and the second brother, the leader in the village had the best relationship with Che Jibao.

"It takes a hundred days to break my muscles and bones, and the old car has to be taken care of for a few months. I said that this Cai dwarf is not stupid, his five brothers and we are all serving in the village. And he actually pulled you into battle, isn't this heart too big? After speaking, Guan Zhiqing slapped Xiucai heavily and signaled that the medicine was over.

Zhang Mengcheng took a deep breath of cold air in pain. When the pain had passed, he got up and moved a little, and found that he was indeed slightly better. said: "I'm afraid I didn't expect this battle to be so difficult, if all the cavalry were put together early in the morning and rushed in, the infantry behind could move faster, and there would not be so many casualties." It's really powerful to roll in the sand, so many people have been fighting with him one after another, and they have been fighting to the death. Second brother, shouldn't you have to fight so fiercely in every battle in the future? ”

Zhang Mengcheng also experienced a lot of battles after falling into the grass. Most of them cut down a few people, and the rest of them all ran away. It's the first time I've seen a bloody battle like this.

Guan Zhiqing said while putting away the wound medicine: "Sha Liluo had a vicious battle with Hui Hui some time ago, and you can see how good they are. Cai Shorty is not like our stockade, some people have seen that vicious battle with their own eyes, so it is inevitable that there will be some light enemies. It's just that the brothers in our village have to suffer so many sins for Cai Xiaozi. The security guard, whether it is the officers and soldiers in the north or the two leaders in the south, should not be as difficult to deal with as the sand roll. ”

After cleaning up the things at hand, Guan Zhiqing said to Zhang Mengcheng again: "Most of the cavalry in our village are heroes who are not afraid of death and righteousness. After so many hours of training in the infantry team, I also see it in my eyes, and it is not surprising that I have these performances. What is strange to me is that Cai Xiaozi and their cavalry team, I didn't expect that there are many men under Cai Xiaozi who can fight and dare to fight hard. Like Cai Shorty, his young ninth uncle, led a small team of cavalry, and he was able to fight a bloody way in the brigade rolling in the sand, and we really underestimated Cai Shorty before. ”

Zhang Mengcheng asked some things that happened on the battlefield one after another, and after Guan Zhiqing answered his questions, he went to deal with other chores.

Zhang Mengcheng sat alone in the tent, recalling the details of the battle he had experienced today, summing up his combat experience and enriching himself. These things will have a considerable impact on themselves in the troubled times in the future. How to try to survive in the days to come. In addition to the visible guarantee of material power, these spiritual accumulations are equally important.
