In fact, Li Guanqi didn't know the reason why Chen Guangxi would not retreat, he deliberately deceived at the beginning, the purpose was to let the horse thief drive straight in, maybe he could take advantage of the chaos to let Li Guanqi die. But who knew that the rise of these horse thieves did not rush to the high platform as he imagined.

Seeing that Xiao Caiwei and Yu Linwei had expanded the defense line, Li Guanqi's chances of being killed by the horse thieves were very slim. And Chen Guangxi is also a bit of a military talent, and he was also a person who went to the battlefield back then, so he naturally knew that with these hundreds of horse thieves, he couldn't do much effort, and the victory would definitely belong to the emperor.

And Chen Guangxi really felt that the elite troops he was proud of were beaten by horse thieves, and he was also disgraced, so he had to save some face.

Therefore, Chen Guangxi was full of grief and indignation, and personally waved his sword to play with the horse thief.

The reason why his own soldiers also resisted with all their might was not out of their own volition. The so-called pro-soldiers are the same as the later guards, usually enjoy much better treatment than others, but once something really happens, it is also desperate, according to the rules, if the general dies in battle, and the pro-soldier is fine, it is to cut off the ground. Therefore, the remaining soldiers, seeing that Chen Guangxi swore not to retreat, also scolded Chen Guangxi's ancestors for eight generations in their hearts, and resisted desperately.

And so, a strange picture appeared. It was also the Shannan Army, 3,000 people against 500 horse thieves, and it was crushed at the first touch, but now 50 against 50, in a desperate situation, it actually fought equally.

When Li Guanqi saw this, his heart was a little relieved. When he turned around and saw that Xie Chen and Chang Di had already ascended to the high platform, he said to the two: "The Shannan army has been defeated, and the army in the south of the city can't catch up for a while, so I can rely on you now." Two hundred against five hundred, do you have faith? ”

To be honest, this is also Li Guanqi's first time on the battlefield. Originally, he was fully confident in the combat power of Xiao Caiwei and Yulinwei, but the performance of the Shannan Army shook his confidence, and now he wanted Xie Chen and Chang Di to lead people forward, and he was also a little drumming in his heart.

Xie Chen and Chang Di couldn't hold back for a long time, and after listening to Li Guanqi's words, they said in unison: "Your Majesty, please sit down on the stage, watch the ministers and others kill the enemy!" ”

The Xiao Cavalry Guards and Yu Linwei in the audience also had an eager expression, and when they saw their main generals coming down, they stepped forward to ask the emperor what his will was.

Chang Di gathered Yu Linwei together. Pick up the crossbow and rush at the dense place of the horse thieves, there is a wave of shots, the distance between the two sides is not far, this batch of cold arrows is accurate and ruthless, only to hear the screams again and again, suddenly dozens of horse thieves were shot down from the horse, more than half of them were hit by several crossbow arrows, all died on the spot.

Xie Chen saw this. Only then did he really smile on his face, and he turned over and got on the horse. He said to the hundred horsemen in front of him: "Brothers, follow me, let the horse thieves also taste the taste of the sabre in our hands, and let the Shannan Army see what a real soldier is." Although he was arrogant in front of Li Guanqi just now, he was actually playing the drum in his heart, after all, the horse thief was not injured by an arrow. It's too scary, and now seeing that they are also flesh and blood, the haze in my heart was suddenly swept away.

He Ziming and Nameless are both martial arts masters, and they know that there is an external skill that can indeed achieve a certain degree of invulnerability, so they have been worried just now. If these horse thieves could do this kind of kung fu, it would be really troublesome, and now that they can be shot to death, I am relieved.

Although Li Guanqi didn't believe that the horse thieves would be invulnerable, he was also taken aback just now, and when he saw that the three thousand people were about to collapse at the touch of a button, he also had a big question mark in his heart. At this time, seeing Yu Linwei's arrows and arrows, his confidence suddenly returned, and he also strengthened his judgment that the horse thief would not be invulnerable. It's just that why the arrows of the Shannan Army can't kill people, he still can't figure it out, but he can't care about studying it at this time.

Wang Yilong has been connived at by Chen Guangxi in recent years, and today he originally wanted to loot Xiangyang by surprise, but unexpectedly rushed over, only to find that the neat 3,000 soldiers were waiting in line.

At first, he thought that he had been ambushed, and he still had a thought in his heart that he would die together, but as soon as the two sides came into contact, the Shannan army still couldn't help fighting as always. His faith came back now.

When he was happy to kill, he suddenly heard that the movement was wrong, and after Wang Yilong cut down several Shannan sergeants one after another, he hurriedly took the horses and looked back. The black-clad and black-armored cavalry and brocade-clad infantry who had stopped under the stage just now had already joined the battle.

Although these two groups were small in number, they were all brave and good at fighting, and the cavalry formed a wedge-shaped formation that was customary for charging, like a sharp bayonet plunging straight ahead. The horse thieves have not undergone formal military training, and do not know the method of battle formation, so they will only attack in groups of three or five, but when they encounter regular cavalry with strict formations, horse thieves in groups of three or five can only be the target of being cut down.

And those brocade-clothed infantry were lined up in a wild goose formation, holding crossbows, slowly advancing forward, as long as a horse thief entered their line of sight, there was immediately a rain of arrows. After a while, Wang Yilong had already seen ten of his subordinates being shot into hedgehogs.

The horse thieves were originally a rabble, and they had always only fought with the wind, and just now they thought that there were not enough officers and soldiers to kill, but now when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately became chaotic. Although they are also dead, the death of their own comrades is completely different in psychological deterrence compared to the death of the opposing soldier.

Seeing that his companions lost their lives one by one, without waiting for Wang Yilong's order, the horse thieves had begun to gradually retract and had the idea of retreating.

Horse thieves have always been a headache for officers and soldiers, because since they are called horse thieves, it means that they are all cavalry! Maybe they don't have very strong kung fu, but the key is to have good mobility! Moreover, they brought into full play the guerrilla tactics of "fighting if you can fight, and running away if you can't fight" summed up by a certain military strategist in later generations. Not to mention that Chen Guangxi is deliberately raising bandits for self-respect, even if he really fights, with the cunning of horse thieves, his people will not take advantage of anything.

However, the connivance policy adopted by Chen Guangxi not only made the horse thieves more and more powerful, but also made these horse thieves more and more arrogant. As a result, the horse thieves who were becoming more and more confident took themselves more and more, and they were too lazy to play the game of hide and seek with the regular army, and they had to fight with the army of the imperial court face to face.

Those who have studied history should know that the red team of that year was "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase, and the odds of victory in guerrilla warfare; Under the command of the classic guerrilla tactics of advancing and retreating in great strides, luring the enemy into depth, concentrating forces, breaking through each one, and annihilating the enemy in a mobile warfare", it can be said that it was invincible, and repelled the encirclement and suppression of the white army four times in a row.

As a result, in the face of the fifth encirclement and suppression, the Red Army, which had been strengthened in the previous guerrilla warfare, put forward the policy of keeping the enemy out of the country, and attempted to use positional warfare and regular warfare to confront the White Army, which had been repeatedly defeated in previous battles.

This is the case with the current gang of horse thieves, because they have almost never lost any battles with the imperial army, so they are blindly arrogant, believing that the regular army of the imperial court is vulnerable.

In fact, the garrison in Shannan was indeed out of battle for a long time, and Chen Guangxi had the intention of deliberately losing at the beginning, so these horse thieves who grew up in the battle were proud for a while.

However, they must not have looked at the yellow calendar when they went out today, and they could still run into Li Guanqi's guards after robbing them.

Although the horse thieves are also experienced in a hundred battles, the guerrillas are still 108,000 miles behind the regular army in terms of strength after all, so there is no suspense at all in the result.

Wang Yilong rode on his horse, and saw that those black-clothed and black-armored knights did not pay attention to the provocation and temptation of the horse thief, and always maintained a unified formation, never separating. A wedge-shaped formation of a hundred horsemen was like a sharp dagger, and a hundred steel swords fell one after another, and the entire cavalry formation was constantly wandering, rampage in the camp of horse thieves.

The formation of the cavalry guards was like a meat grinder, and all horse thieves who came up were immediately killed by the long chopping knife.

Behind the cavalry guards, the Yu Lin Guards played the role of snipers, they did not rush forward, only paying attention to those figures who looked like the leaders of horse thieves, and when they saw clearly, they fired a volley, often even men and horses were shot to the ground.

Horse thieves have always been mainly raiders, and with the exception of a few chiefs, they hardly carry bows and arrows, and now they are really helpless in the face of well-trained cavalry and crossbowmen. As a result, the situation at the scene took a sharp turn, and the horse thief who was chasing and slaughtering the Shannan Army just now was now completely in a one-sided state of beating.

Wang Yilong's scalp and back were numb for a while, and he said in his heart: "Mom, what is the origin of these officers and soldiers?" Why have you never seen it? ”

After watching it for a long time, Wang Yilong figured out a little bit of the doorway, the person in the yellow robe on the high platform must be the leader of these god-killing officers and soldiers. Although he has not read the book of soldiers, he also knows the truth that the thief captures the king first, not to mention that there is Yu Linwei teaching on the spot.

Since he recognized that Li Guanqi on the high platform was the key, Wang Yilong bit the root of his teeth, put the knife into the sheath, took off the hard bow behind him, took the arrow, and secretly aimed at Li Guanqi, wanting to shoot the leader of this group of officers and soldiers.

Wang Yilong can be the leader of such a large group of horse thieves, and the kung fu under his hands is naturally not bad, especially his natural divine power, the bow in his hand is also a veritable hard bow, with the power of six stones, ordinary people really can't pull it away, he is very confident that at this distance, an arrow will shoot through Li Guanqi's body.

Thinking of good things in his heart, Wang Yilong used all his strength to pull out the hard bow, aimed at Li Guanqi on the high platform and shot an arrow in the chest...... (To be continued......)
