Among the 8,000 vanguard cavalry led by Azig, there are 2,000 such heavy-armored iron cavalry!

In the sound of horses' hooves, the heavy cavalry of Jiannu wearing chain mail had rushed through the gap of the baggage vehicle, and collided with the thief in cloth clothes, and a group of people in front of the two armies turned on their horses, and the tragic wails, the impact of weapons and the angry scolding and shouting of the soldiers of the two armies were suddenly intertwined and resounded in the sky.

The heavy cavalry of Jiannu, who carried the powerful habitual surname, easily crushed the two rows of thieves in the front, and hundreds of thieves fell in an instant, falling in a pool of blood, and they were either hacked to death or knocked to death.

If it weren't for the fact that the heavy vehicles in front of the formation seriously affected the charge of the Jiannu heavy cavalry, forcing many Jiannu heavy cavalry to slow down or bypass in front of the formation, thus greatly reducing the assault power of the Jiannu heavy cavalry, the casualties of the thieves would not have been only a few hundred, and it is entirely possible that more than half of the casualties would have been lost.

However, the Jiannu heavy cavalry that rushed to the front also suffered heavy casualties, at least more than 100 Jiannu heavy cavalry died tragically under the spear of the thief, although the body of the thief could not block the collision of the Jiannu heavy cavalry, but the sharp spear in their hands could easily pierce the chain mail on the Jiannu heavy horse.

Jiannu's chain mail has a strong defense against slashing, but lacks sufficient defense against arrows and spears.

"Lao Tzu fought with you!"

Seeing so many good brothers, all the kung fu was gone in the blink of an eye, Li Hu was so distressed that his eyes were red, and he roared at the moment, pressing down hard with the spear, and when the spear bounced, Li Hu's whole person had already risen with the volley, and kicked away according to the Jiannu heavy horse galloping in front of him.

"Poof!"

Li Hu kicked heavily on the head of the Jiannu heavy horse, and in the crisp sound of broken cervical vertebrae, the Jiannu heavy horse fell from the horse without snorting, Li Hu fell on the Jiannu horse, retracted the spear and swept the eight wildernesses, and two more Jiannu heavy horses were swept off the horse by him.

"Hah!"

Azig roared, and his raised sword slashed down viciously, cutting one of the thieves in front of him in two from his left shoulder to his right waist, and at the same time, the mount under his crotch also knocked two thieves away, and the two thieves were smashed to pieces, and the man died of anger before he could hit the ground.

In the chaos, Li Hu and Azig discovered each other almost at the same time, and then urged the horses to gallop forward at the same time, raising swords and guns at the same time.

"Kill!"

Li Hu shouted and stabbed Azig in the chest with a gun, Azig ignored the spear that was stabbed in the chest, the saber in his hand did not change, and he still slashed Li Hu's neck, this guy is completely a posture of fighting for his life, even if he was pierced through the chest by Li Hu's shot, he vowed to cut off the head of the opponent's hand with a knife.

"Damn!"

Li Hu snorted, and sharply turned the spear to slash Azig, only to hear a loud bang, Azig and Li Hu felt that their arms were sore, and the tiger's mouth was numb, and the strength of the two was comparable, and their martial arts were also among them!

However, after the two staggered, there was basically no possibility of meeting again on the battlefield, Li Hu had already rushed out of the car formation, and would face the surging Jiannu cavalry alone, and Azig would also fall into the heavy encirclement of thieves, both of them would fight for their own survival, and there was no time to turn back to find each other to fight for the winner.

Although the rogue formation was not formed in time, the existence of these heavy vehicles still caused a great obstacle to the Jiannu heavy cavalry, and also provided great protection for the thieves, with the protection of the heavy vehicles, Li Hu's two thousand rogue thieves barely withstood the frontal attack of the Jiannu heavy cavalry, and they did not disintegrate under the first wave of the charge of the Jiannu heavy cavalry.

However, Jiannu had a full 8,000 cavalry, in addition to 2,000 heavy cavalry, there were also 6,000 light cavalry!

When the two thousand heavy cavalry were entangled with the thieves, the follow-up six thousand light cavalry had already come up from the two wings and began to use bows and arrows to continuously kill and injure the thieves in the car formation.

The east gate of Datong, above the city tower.

"It's not bad, it's not bad." The bearded man couldn't help but praise, "With an incomplete car formation, it actually blocked the frontal assault of thousands of Jiannu heavy horses, these two thousand thieves are really good, enough for you!" ”

Scarface also said: "The most admirable thing is their courage, they know that staying in place can only be a dead end in the end, but they just don't take a step back, they would rather be crushed by Jiannu's heavy cavalry than retreat, this courage, this determination, is really a good man." ”

The bearded man and the scarface are both from bandits, and they don't have any bad feelings towards the thieves, let alone hatred, and later under the influence of Wang Pu, the distinction between the official army and the thieves is even weaker, although they just had a bloody battle with the thieves outside the city last night, but they are all men with blood surnames, and they all admire the same blood surname men.

"It's a pity." Zhao Xin shook his head and sighed, "In order to buy time for the Rogues Chinese Army to form a formation, these two thousand Rogue Thieves are afraid that they will have to fight for nothing." ”

Zhao Liujin on the side shook his head and said: "According to the humble position, even if the two thousand thieves are exhausted, I am afraid that the thieves will not be able to form a circular defensive formation, you see, the thieves' Chinese army is still a mess, and there is no half an hour to stand in formation, but will the Jiannu Iron Cavalry give the thieves so much time?" ”

Jiang Xuan, who was standing behind Zhao Liujin, suddenly said: "Unless Li Yan can press the thousands of thieves who are used to guard against us here, otherwise, when the thousands of elite thieves in front of him are exhausted, and the Jiannu Iron Cavalry rushes down again, the thieves will be in chaos, and this battle will not have to be fought again." ”

Wang Pu's heart moved when he heard this, and he turned back to Zhao Liujin and said, "Zhao Liujin." ”

Zhao Liujin hurriedly stepped forward and responded loudly: "Humble duty." ”

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "Immediately let your people shout in unison, 'If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different'." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Liujin said confusedly, "Shouting that it is not my race, its heart must be the people?" ”

"Nonsense." Wang Pu frowned and said, "This is a military order!" ”

"Yes." Zhao Liujin suddenly agreed, and hurriedly yelled at a few thousand generals and more than a dozen generals behind him, "A few of you, come here, roll over to Lao Tzu." ”

■■■

Rogue Army.

The red lady hurriedly said: "Xianggong, the tiger is in danger!" ”

Li Yan was silent, silently staring at the noisy battlefield in front of him, only a trace of imperceptible pain quietly passed through the corner of his eyes, these two thousand soldiers were all the children he brought out from Qi County, most of them were surnamed Li like him, and they were all children of the Li family, watching them die on the battlefield one by one, Li Yan's heart hurt more than anyone else!

But Li Yan had no choice, before the Chinese army formed a circular defensive formation, he couldn't let the two thousand soldiers withdraw first, even if all the two thousand soldiers were exhausted, he would not hesitate! The only thing Li Yan could do was to pray, praying in his heart that the two thousand soldiers were tenacious enough to hold on for enough time.

But the reality was cruel, and soon Li Yan found that his prayer was simply extravagant.

Li Yan now knew that this group of cavalry that suddenly appeared was the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, and Li Yan lacked enough understanding of this sudden enemy, so that he miscalculated their attack power, Li Yan originally thought that with the two thousand Qi County soldiers led by Li Hu, it was enough to hold off the enemy for at least half an hour.

With this half an hour, the more than 50,000 people of the Chinese army were able to line up in a rigorous circular defensive formation.

With a rigorous circular defensive formation, the righteous army was able to rely on its strong strength advantage to maneuver with the Jiannu cavalry, but Li Yan soon found that the attack power of the Jiannu cavalry was far beyond his imagination, and in less than a moment, Li Hu's two thousand Qixian soldiers had already been killed or wounded.

At this rate, at most, it will only take one meal at most, and the two thousand Qi County soldiers will be wiped out.

"Xianggong." The red lady was so anxious that she stomped her feet and said, "Hurry up and let Senior Brother Jing's crow camp and Li Xuan's lonely mountain camp press up, otherwise Huzi and Qixian camp will be wiped out, Xianggong, these two thousand soldiers are all Qixian disciples, this is all your hard work." ”

Li Yan was silent, he also wanted to let the crow camp and the lonely mountain camp press up, but the officials and troops in Datong City couldn't help but guard against it, in case the old crow camp and the lonely mountain camp pressed up, but the officials and troops in Datong City took the opportunity to go out of the city to sneak attack, then the righteous army would be attacked by the enemy, and the result could only be defeated faster and worse.

"Xianggong." The red lady hurriedly urged, "Give the order quickly, it's too late." ”

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"

Just when Li Yan was hesitating, the neat and loud shouts of the Ming officials and soldiers suddenly sounded at the head of Datong City, Li Yan's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and he shouted loudly: "Come on, immediately send an order to Jing Maocheng and Li Xuan, and let them immediately lead the elite troops of the headquarters to support the Qixian battalion!" ”

"Yes!"

The two soldiers responded with a bang and galloped away.

"Xianggong!" The red lady looked at Li Yan affectionately, and said in a low voice, "This war is a matter of life and death for the righteous army, the slave family knows that if the righteous army is defeated, Xianggong, you don't plan to go back to Henan alive to see Li Zicheng, for the righteous army, but also for you, the slave family will also fight." ”

"Okay." Li Yan bowed his head lightly and said, "Lady, you have to be careful." ”

The red lady smiled brightly and said coquettishly: "Xianggong, you can rest assured, these Tartars can't hurt your lady, drive!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the Red Lady had already galloped away, and the only more than 400 rogue cavalry of the Chinese army also galloped away with the Red Lady, the wind and dust were fierce, and the Red Lady in red clothes straddled the same fiery red horse, like a raging flame, with a scorching heat wave, rushing forward like a galloping battlefield.

At this time, Azig, who was the pioneer general of Jiannu, had already killed the red eyes in the rogue array, and this guy was wielding a bloody saber, rushing left and right in the rogue array, and the blockers were invincible.

Azig lost count of how many thieves had died under his sword, and now there was only one thought left in his mind, and that was to kill, kill, kill! As for the 8,000 iron horsemen under his command, they have already been thrown out of the clouds by him, and now Azig just wants to kill among the ten thousand armies!

Azig is a rare general, but he is by no means a qualified commander, and this sudden encounter with the thief, Azig made at least four unforgivable mistakes!

First of all, Azig should not rashly attack the thieves when the enemy situation is unknown!

Secondly, Azig should not have taken the Jiannu Iron Cavalry to assault Li Hu's chariot formation from the front, but should have taken the Jiannu Iron Cavalry back to the right flank of the thieves, and then launched a surprise attack on the thieves' Chinese army from the right flank, so that even if Li Yan has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, he will not be able to save the fate of the thieves' defeat.

Again, Azig should not have been too entangled with Li Hu's 2,000 thieves, in the case of stubborn resistance from the enemy and the attack did not go well, he should decisively order a detour to the enemy's flank and look for fighters again, but Azig did not do this, he had to tear through the thieves' defenses from the front, and finally completely entangled with the more than 5,000 thieves of the old crow battalion and the Gushan battalion who came up.

When the Jiannu cavalry finally defeated the four thieves of Li Hu, Jing Maocheng, Li Xuan, and Red Lady, the Chinese army of more than 50,000 thieves led by Li Yan had already set up a formation, rows of spearmen were already in full array, and teams of archers were also ready to attack, and more than 50,000 thieves were firmly hugged together, like a hedgehog covered with spikes, lying quietly on the ground, waiting for Jiannu to go and bite.

At this time, Azig made a fourth unforgivable mistake, and the red-eyed Azig didn't care that the Jiannu cavalry was already sleepy, and launched a crazy attack on the army of thieves who were waiting for him!
