Chapter 7: The Raid (2)

500 steps...... 400 steps...... 300 steps...... The distance between the cavalry of the Ming army and the cavalry of the traitor army was getting closer and closer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Pang Yue seconded 300 cavalry from Deng Linzu before the battle, the Ming cavalry who served as an ambush was still at a disadvantage in numbers. However, this disadvantage does not seem to have affected their morale. In the face of the swarming traitor cavalry, the Ming cavalry did not panic at all, and still controlled the war horses under them as they usually did during training, and advanced in a standard charging formation. Only the hands holding the saber and the green stems silently indicated the inevitable nervousness, but the anger in the countless pairs of eyes was a firm expression of their fearlessness. A few days ago, they had already learned from their battalion officer and general Pang Yue about the good things that Liu Liangzuobu and other traitor troops had done in Yangzhou together with the Jiannu Eight Banners Army. Although the Ming Dynasty has been in war for decades, although most of the Ming officers and soldiers have been accustomed to bloodshed and death, but after learning of this rare tragedy, they can no longer suppress the anger in their hearts, and thousands of roars in their hearts have turned into two words: revenge!

Two hundred steps...... One hundred steps......

"Phew!" When a Ming soldier who rushed to the front slashed a traitor soldier on the opposite side, the two cavalry officially began to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The sound of swords and soldiers colliding and shouting of killing sounded at that moment, and countless blood flowers suddenly splashed in the air.

"Kill! ——" The roar of the Ming cavalry together made the traitor officers and soldiers shudder, and the self-confidence that had been cultivated with great difficulty some time ago was almost shaken. They can't remember the last time they fought with such an army, but they remember that since they took refuge in their new masters, the vast majority of the Ming troops they encountered all the way south were mainly running away and surrendering, and there were only a handful of special cases like Yangzhou, not to mention the absolute outliers who openly stepped forward to challenge their "fox power" like today.

Because they had been lined up in a formation about the same width as the cavalry of the traitor army in advance, although the cavalry of the Ming army was inferior in numbers, they still blocked the way of the traitor army with their blood and the surrounding terrain. People on both sides continued to fall off the horse, and there was soon a situation of dogs and teeth on the front, and even a situation in which you have me and I have you. However, no matter how the traitor cavalry beat themselves, they were surprised to find that the Ming cavalry on the opposite side, which was less than half their size, was like a piece of raw cowhide, which seemed to never be torn or broken.

"He **, they all said that Huang Chuangzi's subordinates fought like crazy people, and it seems that today it is really not a nonsense." After Liu Yong, the general manager of the traitor army, dodged a direct slash and cut off the other party, he spat fiercely. Liu Yong was originally born in Liu Liangzuo's family, and later relied on his ruthless and murderous style to mix like a fish in water in the army, and rose from a small soldier to a general in less than two years. Last month in Yangzhou, Liu Yong was the first to attack the city, and the bloody battle opened the way for the Manchurian master to enter the city, and at the same time paved the way for himself to be promoted - from the general to the thousand. After fighting there, Liu Yong completely understood that it was not difficult to be prosperous and rich, as long as he dared to rush and kill. As for who was killed, it was not in his scope of consideration. And now, the cavalry in front of him wants to block his way to promotion and fortune, which he can't tolerate no matter what.

After Liu Yong looked at the situation on the battlefield, he decided to replicate his successful experience in Yangzhou, and led some men and horses to bypass this Ming cavalry and attack the Ming infantry behind. As long as the formation of the Ming infantry is out of order, their surprise attack will be a complete failure, so the cavalry in front of them is not to worry. Soon, he found a breakthrough: on the right flank of the Ming cavalry, under the hill, there was a not-so-obvious opening, which was obviously a defensive blind spot. …,

"Brothers, follow me!" Liu Yong shouted, and led his men and horses to rush towards the gap on the right flank of the Ming army's defense line.

Seeing this, Shi Youliang, who was cutting people happily, did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and personally led people to block the opening. It's a pity that he was still a step late, and when he barely blocked the gap, Liu Yong and his outlaws had already rushed through the defense line of the Ming cavalry and killed the infantry behind. Although Shi Youliang was an impatient, the large number of enemy troops in front of him could not tolerate any irrational behavior, so he could only curse Liu Yong's back and start to fight fiercely.

At this time, the situation of the infantry of the Ming army who were fighting with the traitor army in the middle section was not optimistic, because the cavalry was withdrawn, the advantage obtained by the surprise attack had been gradually leveled by the traitor army's twice the numerical advantage, although the battle line was stabilized by the suppression of the crossbowmen, but it was still very difficult. The two officers of the infantry team, Cui Shoucheng and Lu Qiwu, had already personally picked up their weapons and rushed to the front line.

"Rat daring?! - "Cui Shoucheng grabbed a spear that stabbed at him, and smashed the head of the traitor soldier who attacked him into meat sauce with a mace in his backhand. At this time, Cui Shoucheng had many wounds on his body, and the whole person seemed to swim out of a sea of blood, and there were two feather arrows stuck in his armor. If it weren't for the desperate protection of his own soldiers, he would have been loyal to the country a long time ago. But all this has turned into nothingness for Cui Shoucheng, and there is only one thought left in his mind: kill! Kill all the traitors and bastards in front of you! Since learning the news of the death of his hometown Yangzhou, he has not spoken much, but he has become even more reticent, and only when he hears words such as "Tartar" and "Jiannu" will his eyes glow like a wolf. Today's battle just gave him enough opportunities to vent.

"Old Cui, a group of cavalry has come over!" Just when Cui Shoucheng was getting carried away, Lu Qiwu shouted at him, "Big Shi didn't stop them!" ”

Cui Shoucheng wiped the blood on his face and looked in the direction that Lu Qiwu was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a cavalry of more than 200 people rushing towards his flank with murderous energy. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help frowning, who was originally expressionless.

"Haha, it seems that this Ming army is defenseless! Even God will not stop my way to promotion and fortune! After Liu Yong, the commander of the traitor army, rushed past Shi Youliang's interception, he found that the Ming infantry was fighting with the traitor army infantry, and there was almost no extra energy to care about him, and he was overjoyed. It seems that he will make another contribution this time! As long as you rush over, the official position and the reward will be there! Thinking of this, Liu Yong involuntarily sped up his speed a few points, and shouted in his gong-like voice: "Brothers, as long as you defeat this bright dog in front of you, Lao Tzu will definitely take credit for you!" Silver, woman, give what you want! At this time, most of the soldiers who followed Liu Yong were outlaws who had done all the bad things with him on weekdays, and when they heard that Liu Yong had drawn such a big pie for himself, they couldn't help but get excited and let out a roar like a hungry dog.

"Where's your lord?" Cui Shoucheng asked Lu Qiwu with a frown. Before Lu Qiwu could answer, he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him, and then saw one of his cavalry rushing towards the uninvited guest just now. The cavalry numbered around seventy or eighty, led by a young general dressed in bright silver armor and riding a maroon war horse.

"Your Excellency's pro-soldiers! The adults themselves took people up! Lu Qiwu saw Pang Yue with his own team of soldiers to meet him, and he couldn't help but feel sure in his heart. With his understanding of Pang Yue, he didn't feel any pressure on Pang Yue to lead such a few people to face two hundred enemy troops. Without worries, Lu Qiwu soon devoted himself to selfless fighting again. …,

Pang Yue rode forward on his war horse, his eyes staring at Liu Yong and a group of outlaws under him in front of him, the knuckles of his right hand holding the spear were gurgling, and the remaining subconscious in his brain had already simulated the next spearmanship countless times. Pang Yue didn't want to let go of these bastards who sold themselves for glory in front of him, no why, just because these scum were not called personnel. In later generations, there are still many kinds of remarks that justify this kind of scum, such as "last resort", "the inevitable result of war", and "good birds choose trees to perch"...... At that time, Pang Yue had long lost interest in refuting after getting used to this kind of brain-dead remarks, and thought it was a fart. However, since he was given a chance to cross by God, Pang Yue will naturally use his actual actions to express his attitude, and he will no longer be out of sight as before.

Since you are not worthy of being a human being, since your existence is only to bring disaster to the Chinese nation, then I will send you out of this world! Pang Yue gritted his teeth and locked on to the first target to attack.

Looking at the general of the Ming army in front of him who was getting closer and closer to him, Liu Yong actually felt an inexplicable sense of tension in his heart. As a brainless outlaw who regards national righteousness as air, he has killed more people, and the blood he has seen is comparable to that of a river, but he was swept away by the eyes of the member on the other side. What kind of eyes are that? Without any emotion, it is as if you are looking at a dead corpse......

But the arrow had to be sent on the string, and there was no reason to retreat at this point, Liu Yong secretly cheered himself up and raised the war knife in his hand......

"Yikes! ——" With what he thought was the most imposing shout, Liu Yong slashed out at the head of the Ming general opposite. This knife used up almost all his strength, and also took away all his nervousness and uneasiness, and he felt extremely relaxed at that moment. However, this sense of relaxation lasted for that moment.

**, failed! This was Liu Yong's last sigh in his heart, and then he saw a spear swim through his neck, bringing out a stream of blood that rushed into the air. Liu Yong, the "great hero" who conquered Yangzhou, finally fell off his horse, and then was trampled into a puddle of minced meat.

Even if there are many people, even if they are not afraid of death, there is still a gap between the scum under Liu Yong and Pang Yue's personal team, whether it is in terms of tactical coordination or equipment. 200 people against more than 80 people, it is not even half a advantage. On the other hand, Pang Yue's personal army became more and more courageous, and although the number of people was small, the lethality that could burst out was terrifying. In the end, this traitor cavalry saw that there was no hope of victory, and that they had lost their backbone, and the will to fight finally collapsed, the formation collapsed, and the men and horses were scattered, most of them were ordered to go to Huangquan under the joint strangulation of the Ming army's crossbowmen and cavalry, and only a few escaped alive.

Under the banner of the traitor army, Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw that his men and horses couldn't open the situation. Just as he was thinking about whether to press the whole army, a sound that was enough to scare him half his life came from the direction of Taiping Mansion.

"No wonder I dare to attack my tens of thousands of horses with such a few people, I see!" Liu Liangzuo, who had climbed over from the wind and waves, let out an exclamation at this time, and his face turned pale.
