Liu Fan's guess was not wrong at all, Li Zicheng and the others were indeed preparing to escape. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info To be precise, after the city gate collapsed, the elite men of the Liukou had quietly packed up and sneaked out of the city from the north gate.

The whereabouts of the rogues were seen by the detectives of the Broken Army, and they were reported to Liu Fan in the shortest possible time. After receiving the news, Liu Fan immediately ordered the Breaker Army to stop the siege of the city and instead attack the north gate, and they had to follow the steps of the Liukou and annihilate the Liukou outside the city in one fell swoop.

How can Liu Fan not understand this truth. The number of rogues was originally above the Broken Army, and there was a city wall as a cover, and the Broken Army was not good at siege warfare. It is even said that this siege battle is the first time that the army has been destroyed. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Liu Fan deliberately left a way out for the Liukou. It's just that Liu Fan didn't expect Li Zicheng and these guys to fight so much, according to Liu Fan's estimate, Li Zicheng and them had to stay for a day or two before escaping, right?

Now that the rogues have already fled first, there is no point in worrying about why they have escaped. According to the plan made by the military to break the captives, the newly formed cavalry battalion was the first to attack, responsible for blocking the way of the Liukou, disrupting their formation, and buying time for the follow-up troops.

Speaking of which, the formation of this cavalry battalion also depends on the blessing of Liukou, if it weren't for Liukou's pretended surrender, Liu Fan would not have been able to get so many war horses intact. More than 1,000 war horses plus the original 500 cavalry of the Broken Army, a cavalry battalion of more than 1,500 people was freshly baked. As the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, Zhou Ce can now be said to be complacent, riding a rogue war horse but attacking a rogue without a horse, such a happy thing, Zhou Ce is a little excited when he thinks about it.

The sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves sounded behind him, and as the elite of the old battalion, these fugitive rogues were familiar with this sound. Years of combat experience have made them more aware of the weakness of the infantry in the face of cavalry, so they are all shocked to hear the sound of horses' hooves coming from the rear and see the smoke and dust billowing behind them.

"**** ancestors, these dog officers and soldiers are chasing after them endlessly! King Chuang, let's not wait for death like this, why don't we let me lead someone to fight and rub the sharpness of the officers and soldiers? Seeing that the broken army in the rear was catching up again, the hot-tempered Huang Long couldn't help it first, and loudly asked Gao Yingxiang for his life to attack.

Gao Yingxiang also knew very well that if he didn't send someone to stop the cavalry of the official army, then what was waiting for them would be a dead end. So he nodded and said, "It's okay for Brother Huang to go, but you must be careful not to entangle with the officials and soldiers." Now we don't have the strength to go head-to-head with Liu Fan! ”

Huang Long heard Gao Yingxiang's permission, and said excitedly, "Don't worry, King Chuang, I know what to do!" "Brothers, go back with me, let these dog officers and soldiers see how powerful we are at the king's camp!" The other knights couldn't bear it anymore when they heard this, and turned their horses' heads to follow the yellow dragon to the rear.

Liu Zongmin watched Huang Long with envy and led people to roar by, and couldn't help but whisper to Li Zicheng beside him, "Brother Li, do you want me to bring someone to help Huang Long?" How to say that everyone is in the same boat, if we sit idly by, it will have a bad reputation! ”

Li Zicheng smiled bitterly in his heart, he had already seen Liu Zongmin's appearance, and what Liu Zongmin said also made some sense, for the sake of his own reputation, Li Zicheng had no choice but to nod and say, "I really can't take you, you can go, but remember one thing for Lao Tzu, you must give Lao Tzu a little vision, don't rush forward stupidly, you know?" ”

Liu Zongmin smiled: "Brother Li, put your heart in your stomach, don't you know who I am Lao Liu?" I promise that I will be able to bring our brother back safely! ”

Just when Liu Zongmin led people to charge to the rear, Zhang Xianzhong also sent Zhang Kewang to join the two groups of men and horses with a part of the cavalry. The three groups of men and horses together had numbered two thousand, and the number was even higher than that of the cavalry battalion of the Broken Army. Moreover, these cavalry are all good at one in a hundred, and in terms of their combat effectiveness, they are even more cavalry battalions that crush Zhou Ce.

Although they were teams that responded in a hurry and had different numbers, the rogue side was still in danger, and the three groups of men and horses quickly converged around the fleeing team, and with the yellow dragon as the arrow, they formed a sagittal formation and charged towards the Breaker Army.

Zhou Ce was also surprised to chase and suddenly jumped out of an obstacle, although the enemy army was stronger than himself, but Zhou Ce did not have the slightest fear, because there was a large army behind him, and he had enough confidence to deal with the enemy's attack. Shouting "kill", the cavalry battalion of the Broken Army rushed towards the enemy without fear.

The "shooting" rogue cavalry was skillful in arching and horses, and a hundred paces away, they began to launch the first wave of attacks on the Breaker Army with bows and arrows. The "ding" arrows slammed into the armor of the Breakers with a crisp sound, and the rain of arrows did not cause much damage to the well-equipped cavalry of the Breakers. The cavalry was fine, but the horses were not protected by armor, and the few cavalrymen were still overturned by the horses under the rain of arrows. Seeing the casualties on his side, Zhou Ce was furious and roared, "Fire, return fire!" ”

"Bang bang" gunfire roared, and the three-eyed guns of the cavalry of the Broken Army continued to fire, and the iron sand formed a barrage of death and shot towards the enemy. When the gunshots rang out, there were screams from the camp of the rogues. The pros and cons of the equipment are on full display at this moment.

In the billowing smoke and dust, the two cavalry collided fiercely, and the fierce collision sound of swords resounded across the battlefield. The two armies engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat. The Breakers were well-armed and physically strong. Although the equipment is a little worse, the rogue is better than the combat experience.

There is not much difference in numbers, and the strength is about the same, between the two armies, there are casualties among each other, and for a time there is no difference! After a round of collisions, the two cavalrymen turned their horses' heads and intertwined again. Blood mixed with stumps and broken arms flew everywhere, and every second someone fell, a rogue, a broken army.

Fluttering, Liu Zongmin held a ring-headed knife and slashed around the crowd, and with each swing, a soldier of the Broken Army fell. There was no enemy on the battlefield. Seeing his comrades-in-arms fall off their horses one by one, Liu Zongmin's ruthless slaughter angered the captured officers and soldiers. Ignoring the huge gap between the enemy and us, the soldiers of the Broken Army rushed towards Liu Zongmin with a roar, vowing to behead him under his horse and avenge his dead comrades!

Swing your broadsword vigorously and open a few spears beside you. Liu Zongmin took the opportunity to highlight the encirclement, came to Huang Long's side, touched a handful of blood splashed on his face, Liu Zongmin's eyes were red and asked, "Brother Huang, what should I do?" Still fighting? ”

Huang Long covered his injured shoulder, bared his teeth, and grinned, "Hit a fart!" Didn't you see that the officers and soldiers behind were chasing after you? Withdraw quickly, otherwise no one will be able to run away after being dumpled by the official army for a while! Then he turned his horse's head and ran north. Huang Long knew very well in his heart that his mission was to stop the official army and not annihilate it. Seeing that he could not win in a short time, Huang Long was afraid of the troops of the Broken Army and did not dare to continue to entangle. Otherwise, if he is surrounded by officials and soldiers, the last bit of capital of King Chuang will be wasted! (To be continued.) )
