Huang Long took the lead in leading people away, and Liu Zongmin and Zhang Kewang also shouted when they saw this, leading their knights to quickly get rid of the entanglement of the broken army and leave the battlefield like a whirlwind. The www.biquge.info Liukou came and went quickly, whether it was attacking or retreating, they did not drag the mud and water at all, and the demeanor of the elite cavalry was fully displayed.

The two armies were short of half an hour, and there were casualties among each other, and neither of them defeated the other in a short time. According to Liu Fan's plan, the task of the cavalry battalion of the Broken Army was to outflank and intercept the enemy army in a roundabout way, but under the interference of Huang Long and others, this task was undoubtedly a failure, and from a tactical level, the rogue won the victory.

The failure of the cavalry to succeed meant that Liu Fan's side lost the ability to intercept the large army of Liukou. The Liukou could calmly escape under the cover of the horse team composed of Huang Long and others, and all Liu Fan could do now was to rely on the foot soldiers to pursue.

At a distance of hundreds of miles from Fengxian to Baoji, the Broken Army clung to the tail of the Liukou and pursued it all the way. During this period, Liu Fan also sent a cavalry team to attack several times, trying to slow down the march speed of the large army from the flank, but each attack was stirred up by the horse team led by Huang Long and others. These sorties also seemed to annoy the Liukou, and with Gao Yingxiang's acquiescence, Huang Long and others also secretly ambushed Liu Fan's follow-up troops. The two cavalry come and go back and forth, and this battlefield seems to have become a stage for their wrestling.

Although the two sides fought vigorously, the main meaning of their existence was lost, and when the cavalry of both sides was evenly matched and could not make progress, the competition was the speed of the foot soldiers.

Liukou crisscrossed the Central Plains for thousands of miles, from Shanxi to Huguang in Sichuan, and then returned to Henan and Shaanxi from Huguang and other places, traveling thousands of miles all the way. However, it only took them less than half a year, which was an almost impossible task for most of the Ming officers and soldiers. The swiftness of the rogues is due to the fact that most of them are horses, but the speed of their foot soldiers is not to be underestimated. Therefore, with the long-trained marching speed of the Broken Army, it could not catch up with the fleeing rogue troops, but instead widened the distance between the two sides.

Seeing that the rogue was about to slip away from his hands again, how could Liu Fan be willing. For this reason, Liu Fan took advantage of the shortcomings of the slow march of the Liukou at night, and was ruthless, and led the troops to chase without stopping at night. Under the pursuit of the Broken Prisoners day and night, they were finally blocked in a basin before the Liukou entered Baoji County.

Taking advantage of the fact that Liukou's foothold was not stable, Liu Fan launched an attack with a large army. The soldiers of the Broken Army were also extremely angry after more than ten days of pursuit, and now when they saw the enemy in front of them, they immediately turned red eyes and rushed up with a roar, vowing to give the Liukou a good look, in order to vent their grievances for many days.

With a "boom", the red torrent composed of the Broken Army and the earthy yellow camp composed of Liukou collided fiercely. The sound of the "bang" firing resounded throughout the battlefield. The Broken Capture Army took the firecrackers as the pioneers, and the spearmen formed as the Chinese army, advancing towards the Liukou step by step.

At the same time as the infantry of the Broken Army launched an attack, the artillery units in the rear also rapidly deployed, and the entire artillery battalion concentrated nearly 150 artillery pieces of various sizes, including the Tiger Squat Cannon with a relatively close firing range, the three-pounder Western fast gun in front, and the powerful six-pounder gun in the rear to form a trapezoidal battle formation that was convenient for firepower to be brought into play.

Liu Biao, commander of the artillery battalion, even went to the scene to direct the battle, constantly shouting, "Hurry up, observe the range by hand, and reload the ammunition by hand, we must provide artillery cover for the infantry brothers in the shortest possible time." If anyone dares to slack off, Lao Tzu knows you, and military law does not recognize people! ”

Under Liu Ao's anxious shouting, the soldiers of the artillery battalion took out the fastest speed in their lives, loaded, measured the range, and test-fired. The whole action was done in one go, and finally the most critical moment before the two armies made a hand-to-hand encounter with the artillery to roar. The scorching projectiles rained down on the camp of the rogue, and the cannonball exploded in the crowd accurately and suddenly, beating the unsuspecting rogue to cry out to his mother, and under the raging artillery fire, the originally neat queue of the rogue was suddenly chaotic and messy.

After three rounds of shelling, the artillery extended deep into the rear of the enemy troops. In the smoke of gunpowder, the artillery team continued to fire until the barrels were red. Taking advantage of the brief confusion caused by the shelling to the enemy, the soldiers of the vanguard battalion of the Broken Army began to charge, using pikemen as arrows and sword and shield men covering the flanks, and the vanguard battalion was like a sharp awl, which was fiercely inserted into the chest of the rogue. Then the follow-up soldiers of the Broken Army broke through the enemy's defense line in a dense charging formation, and the two armies met in close combat!

Shang Minghu, the commander of the pioneer battalion, roared, brandished a broadsword and rushed to the front line, the blade skimmed the enemy's neck, and the head suddenly rolled off. Seeing the battalion commander so brave, the soldiers of the pioneer battalion also burst out with great combat effectiveness, and the sound of killing cries rang out, and the soldiers were not to be outdone, stabbing out their spears and constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy. The Breakers used the vanguard battalion as an arrow to tear apart the enemy's formation, quickly splitting the enemy into two parts, so that they could not take care of each other. The follow-up troops surrounded the enemy in a semicircular formation, and then divided and strangled. The overall attack was fast and effective, with clear layers, and almost in the shortest possible time, it dealt a great blow to the rogues. In just a few quarters of an hour of fighting, the Rogue side was in danger of collapsing on almost all fronts.

Seeing that his troops fell into disadvantage as soon as they fought, Gao Yingxiang was furious, and hurriedly sent Huang Long and other horse teams to detour from the flank, wanting to break the formation of the officers and troops with a cavalry charge and provide support for the foot soldiers.

Gao Yingxiang's deployment completely fell in Liu Fan's eyes, only to see Liu Fan smile contemptuously, "Can't help it so soon?" Zhou Ce, your old rival is here, why don't you go and welcome it! ”

Zhou Ce couldn't bear it anymore at this moment, and when he heard Liu Fan's order, he grinned and said, "Overseer, you should have sent us out a long time ago, and you had to wait until the enemy army moved before letting us attack." In case someone takes advantage of you, do you say it's a loss? ”

Liu Fan was full of black lines, and scolded with a smile, "You can't fight, if you don't fight, I'll send someone else?" ”

"Hit! Of course hit! Zhou Ce jumped on his horse, and without waiting for Liu Fan to react, he had already rushed to the front, shouting in his mouth, "Brothers, the opportunity for revenge has come, this time we must behead Huanglong under the horse and avenge the dead brothers!" ”

As the cavalry joined the battlefield, the whole battle entered the most intense phase of stalemate. Whoever can crush the opponent in the shortest possible time will win the battle. Liu Fan knows this, and Gao Yingxiang also knows it very well. (To be continued.) )
