All the troops had crossed the ridge and gathered in the dense forest on the hillside, which was already two hours later. According to Zhu Youcheng's estimate, the rebels should have arrived at the same time, but there was no trace on the other side.

It can't be that it won't come, will it? Scout Wang Feng reported that the enemy was resting eight miles away, and it would probably be some time before he came. Zhu Youcheng breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the soldiers to eat something first, recharge their energy, and prepare for the upcoming hard battle.

Now, of course, you can't make a fire to cook, 5,000 people are cooking at the same time, and the smoke coming out of the cooking is magnificent, it's like telling the rebels, hey, we're in ambush here, hurry up.

The soldiers were all gnawing on pot helmets with cold water. The pot helmet is a Guanzhong pastry, which is characterized by being hard, but resistant to storage, so it has become one of the designated military rations of Jinyiwei.

Although Zhu Youcheng is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is not in a position to specialize at this time, and he is also cold water and a pot helmet that is so hard that he can lose his teeth.

Zhu Youcheng secretly said to himself, what kind of military food to eat is actually related to the mentality, if you are in a happy mood, then the pot helmet can also eat the taste of roast pheasant. Look, the pot helmet in front of me exudes a rich aroma of roasted pheasant, which is getting stronger and stronger......

Zhu Youcheng looked around, damn, someone is really roasting pheasants, it is the Yiren youth led by the four chivalrous knights.

I saw that they also brought a few pheasants from nowhere, cleaned them, and roasted them on the fire. It was raining lightly, and no dry wood could be found, so the fire was burned with wet wood, and a puff of black smoke rose into the sky.

Zhu Youcheng was angry from his heart, didn't he know that the battlefield was hidden? He rushed forward and kicked the browned roast chicken off the rack. The guards hurriedly stepped forward to extinguish the fire, and added a few more handfuls of earth to completely extinguish the fire.

The young man stood up in fear, not knowing what angered the young general.

Zhu Youcheng suppressed his anger and asked, "Why are you igniting the fire on the battlefield?" I wonder if this will send a message to the enemy? ”

Gu Long reacted suddenly, and his face turned pale. He stammered, "Lord Zhu, we didn't mean to. I saw that all of you had something to eat, but we didn't, so I shot a few pheasants, thinking that when I was full, I would help the adults fight......"

Zhu Youcheng sighed and called Xu Yan over. Let him manage these forty or so Yiren youths, and ask for nothing else, as long as these forty or so masters don't produce any more moths.

Xu Yan gave some pot helmets to these Yi people. Jinyiwei's pot helmet is really not delicious, and they have achieved the two characteristics of the pot helmet to the extreme, one is hard and the other is salty. Not to mention, these two features greatly extend the storage time of the pot helmet.

The Yi people had a mouthful, but they gnawed on the pot helmet without a bite, and watched Jinyiwei eat the pot helmet sweetly. I can't help but praise from the bottom of my heart, Jin Yiwei is really a special person, only such a special person can eat such a special meal.

After resting for about an hour, the rebels arrived belatedly.

Chen Guoqi hurriedly ran over and said, "My lord, let's fight." ”

Zhu Youcheng put down the binoculars and said, "Wait." We have received information that the enemy army has dispatched more than 20,000 people this time, and there are only about 5,000 people in front of us. There must be a large force behind. Our goal is to completely annihilate the enemy army, if we go out now. It's just that their vanguard is destroyed, and their large army will definitely flee when they see that the situation is not good, and the mountains are not suitable for cavalry pursuit, and the results are too small to be cost-effective. ”

The young man was shocked when he heard this. This young general was really greedy and not enough to swallow elephants, and he only had 5,000 troops in his hands, but he wanted to annihilate 20,000 enemy troops.

After another half an hour, all the rebels arrived on the plain, and Zhu Youcheng shouted: "Go!" ”

Jin Yiwei turned over and got on his horse. With a whistle, they rushed towards the rebels' Chinese army. The sound of the hooves of 5,000 horses galloping was like a muffled thunder rolling, earth-shattering.

When the rebels saw the overwhelming cavalry rushing towards them, they turned pale with fright and lost their souls.

It is difficult for anyone who has not seen cavalry to imagine the horror of a cavalry charge at high speed. When Zhu Youcheng led the soldiers to accept the charge test of the cavalry, he knew that the cavalry would turn, but when the cavalry approached him, his legs were still trembling, and there were suspicious water stains on his pants afterwards.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Youcheng arrived on Juehua Island, he desperately built the wall, for no other reason, because he knew that no matter how powerful the infantry was, there was a natural fear in the face of cavalry. As it turned out, it was this low wall that gave the Jinyi Guard soldiers the confidence to withstand the attack of the 40,000 Jiannu cavalry.

The infantry does not necessarily have no rut with the cavalry, the Ming Dynasty's partial carriages, strong crossbows and hard bows are the nightmare of the cavalry, and the infantry with a long spear formation can also carry the impact of the cavalry. However, this group of rebels had never seen the impact of cavalry, and of course they couldn't think of a way to restrain them. Zhu Youcheng led the cavalry, if he didn't bully them, who would he bully.

Recently, it has been raining continuously, and although the fire guns of the Jinyi Guard cannot be used, the bows and crossbows of the rebels cannot be used either. Because the strings of bows and arrows are made of animal tendons, wet weather will make the tendons less elastic and the range shorter. Moreover, the use of rainy days will cause irreversible damage to the bow and arrow, so all the bows and arrows of the rebels are put away, and some experienced marksmen even remove the bowstring from the bow and arrow, so that the rebels can only watch the cavalry rush towards their side.

The crossbowman did not care about the officer's reprimand at this time, and took out his bow and arrows and beckoned to the cavalry. It's a pity that the range and accuracy of the bow and arrow are greatly reduced in the rain, and many arrows fall to the ground in a fluttering manner, and there is no lethality at all. There were also a few feathered arrows that shot at the Jinyi Guard. However, except for the one in the middle of the door, which is somewhat powerful, the other arrows are not very powerful. You can see that the brocade guards over there are full of arrows, and they look like stingers, but their movements have not been affected in the slightest, and they are still riding wild horses.

Of course, Jin Yiwei is not superhuman, thanks to Zhu Youcheng's prior arrangement. Since discovering that Jinyiwei's firearm was out of order, Zhu Youcheng understood that hand-to-hand combat was inevitable, and the important point of reducing the casualties of soldiers was to resist the damage of enemy bows and arrows. So Jin Yiwei went all the way to buy all the silk and satin in all the shops along the road. Zhu Youcheng asked the female soldiers in the medical staff to work together and made a lot of silk underwear for the soldiers. And Zhu Youcheng, a coward, actually had three silk underwear on his body. If it weren't for the heat, he would probably have worn a few more.

Zhu Youcheng vaguely remembered that silk could effectively resist the damage of feather arrows, and even if the feather arrows were shot into his body, it was easy to take out the arrows. It doesn't create much danger. So Zhu Youcheng paid out of his own pocket to make anti-feather arrow underwear for the soldiers. The soldiers have always believed in Zhu Youcheng, and although the weather is getting hotter, they still put on silk underwear. Therefore, although those brocade guards were hit by several arrows and looked very terrifying, the feather arrows were blocked by silk underwear. They were not seriously injured.

The costumes of the Jinyiwei are completely different from the costumes of other armies of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone is golden, like a god descending from heaven. In addition, the rebels were even more frightened when they saw that the Jinyi Guard could still move freely after being hit by an arrow, thinking that the Yiren hero Zhigeal had been resurrected and led the army to crusade against their rebels, so frightened that their legs were weak, and some of the Yiren soldiers simply knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from their gods.

However, Jinyiwei did not have the kindness of a woman, and saw Yiren kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. Thinking of the people of Guizhou who were ruined by their disasters and their wives were separated, they were angry from their hearts, and evil was born to the side of their guts, and they stepped on their horses.

As a result, the Yiren soldiers fell into great bad luck, and were trampled on by the huge horses' hooves, and their heads were broken and bleeding, and their intestines were rotten.

The rebels found that the brocade guards had not spared them, and they cried and retreated. The commander of the rebels, An Xiaoliang, saw the soldiers retreat. Hurriedly ordered the overseers to step forward and kill the soldiers who dared to retreat on the spot. After chopping off twenty-seven heads. The soldier's retreat barely stopped.

After all, there were smart soldiers among the Yiren soldiers, and they found that the Jinyi Guard's target was the Chinese army, and they didn't particularly care about the two wings, so they had an idea and dodged to both sides. An Xiaoliang's overseers were just guarding against the soldiers from retreating, who knew that they would retreat to both sides. As a result, the Chinese army, which was originally tightly protected, was directly exposed in front of Jinyiwei.

Zhu Youcheng was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush with me and capture An Xiaoliang alive!" ”

Jinyi Wei saw Zhu Youcheng charging forward, and his morale was greatly boosted. Fight your way to the enemy. Just kidding, the main general charges ahead, and the soldiers follow behind, isn't that a loss of the face of the soldiers of the brocade guard? It is said that Zhu Youcheng's horse is a yellow fat horse, a good horse of a horse, and it is very fast, and the soldiers can only eat ash after them. But today Rhubarb didn't know what was wrong, and was overtaken by one ordinary horse after another.

This is, of course, the superb performance of Zhu Youcheng, a coward. Fighting generals is the myth of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if the main thing will be in front, then what else do you want soldiers to do? Zhu Youcheng rushed in front, Titi's morale was okay, if he really charged, even if he was superb in martial arts, he couldn't stop the flying dark arrows. In case of injury, then who will command the army?

The yellow fat horse is very miraculous, arrogant by nature, and when he saw that he was overtaken by a horse, he was so angry that he shook his head and waged his tail, looking up to the sky and neighing. But Zhu Youcheng sat upright on the horse, and he was peaceful, which showed that someone's skin was much thicker than that of a horse.

An Xiaoliang was still firmly seated in the Chinese army at first, but not long after the battle began, he saw that the front army suddenly divided to the left and right, gave way to a middle avenue, and put on a posture to welcome the enemy. An Xiaoliang panicked, what is the welcome Jinyiwei for? Come and take your own head?

He ordered the Overseer to drive the soldiers to the middle, but the soldiers had just found a safe place, and they were reluctant to give up, so they were in a hurry, and they fought with the Overseer.

Seeing that the situation was not good, An Xiaoliang made a decision that anyone would make - to escape, and it was this decision that completely buried more than 20,000 people.

After An Xiaoliang let his pro-soldiers break off, he ran away.

As soon as he ran, the Yiren soldiers, who had no intention of fighting, suddenly collapsed and rushed to escape.

Ahn Hyo-liang is a general and rides a horse. If it weren't for the rear army, maybe he would have escaped. However, there were more than 20,000 people at the scene, the command was ineffective, and the front army collapsed, but the rear army did not know about it and was still squeezing forward. As a result, An Xiaoliang was squeezed in the middle, unable to advance or retreat.

Seeing Jinyi Wei chasing after him, it turned out that Gong Wei was next to An Xiaoliang, and the Yiren soldiers who blocked his retreat scattered in a hurry, leaving An Xiaoliang alone and riding in place.

Chen Guoqi yelled: "This person is mine." ”

After saying that, he slapped his horse and rushed forward.

An Xiaoliang sneered, at this time, if you spell one one, you will earn one by spelling two. Don't the enemy generals on the opposite side know that the horsemen are desperate and the thousands of troops are unstoppable?

It turns out that the desperate efforts of the puppet have no effect, at least An Xiaoliang's desperate efforts are ineffective. Chen Guoqi has practiced the gun for ten years, and his marksmanship is ruthless, one move is as fast as a move, and one move is as tight as a move. When he finished the fifteenth round, he heard a loud sound of "dang", and An Xiaoliang's knife flew out.

An Xiaoliang's knife went straight to Wu Huping, Wu Huping used his gun, and the knife changed direction and flew towards a Yiren soldier. The Yiren soldier was happy, and he would do this trick too, so he raised his sword to block. The Yiren soldiers were very angry, and this knife was indeed blocked by him. However, his knife was not very aggressive, and was actually cut off by An Xiaoliang's treasure knife. As soon as the knife broke, the Yiren soldiers were unlucky and were cut in two by the sword. Chen Guoqi and An Xiaoliang competed, but hacked an ordinary soldier to death, which is also a miracle.

His gaze returned to Chen Guoqi's side. Chen Guoqi saw that An Xiaoliang's weapon had been lost, and swept thousands of troops with one move, but An Xiaoliang couldn't dodge and was knocked off his horse.

Chen Guoqi's personal soldiers jumped off the horse, grabbed An Xiaoliang, wiped his shoulders, tied his back, and tied him up.

Chen Guoqi's personal soldiers shouted: "An Xiaoliang has been arrested, and those who surrender will not die." ”

The soldiers led by An Xiaoliang are Yi people, and they are Yi people from the deep mountains and old forests, and there are not many people who know Chinese, according to what Chen Guoqi's soldiers shouted, they can't understand it at all.

It's a pity that An Xiaoliang's soldiers once again skillfully cooperated with Jinyiwei's actions. Those soldiers who watched An Xiaoliang and Chen Guoqi fighting, seeing that the main general was defeated, shouted: "The general is finished, the general is finished." ”

At first, it was just one person shouting, but later it became ten people shouting, and hundreds of people shouting.

As soon as the Yiren heard that the Lord was about to lose, the legs that were already running away were now running faster. (To be continued......)
