"General, it's the cavalry, the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and they are catching up again......" The pale subordinate shouted like a frightened rabbit with a panicked face......

Zhang Zhongming's face at this moment is not much better.

Although it can't be called miserable, it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it with the word dignified.

As soon as his subordinates' words came out, Zhang Zhongming waved his hand impatiently and said, "What are you panicking about...... Haven't the cavalry of the Haw Par Army chased us yet...... Let's not forget that there are more than 8,000 elites behind us...... The general didn't believe that more than 8,000 elites couldn't take the less than 2,000 cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhongming's face also regained some confidence because of his words.

Turning to the captain of the scout team beside him, he asked, "Mr. Wang Qian, how far is it from Dingbian County...... How long will it take for us to reach Dingbian County......"

"The cavalry of the Haw Par Army is closely following us, if we can't occupy a county seat, we can use the county seat to block the cavalry of the Haw Par Army. In the wilderness without any defense, no matter how many of us are, we will be eaten by the cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army little by little......"

As soon as Zhang Zhongming finished speaking, the scout captain replied: "The general still has fifteen miles...... If the speed is fast, in more than half an hour, we can see the city wall of Dingbian County...... Just ......"

Facing the hesitant expression on the scout captain's face, Zhang Zhongming said beautifully: "When is it, just say it if you have something to say, don't babble, it's like a girl......"

The scout captain's face turned red, and he quickly replied, "Yes, General...... Tong guò horses' hooves. The end will be sure. The cavalry of the Haw Par Army was less than five miles away from us...... With the speed of pursuit of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army. If we run forward for three miles at most, the Haw Par Army cavalry will catch up with us......" "If we don't find a way to hold them back, we will all be dragged on the battlefield by the Haw Par Army cavalry, and we will not be able to reach Dingbian County......"

The scout captain's words immediately aroused everyone's approval, especially in order to drag down the Haw Par Army and leave almost all of his generals behind. As if he had found a soulmate, he subconsciously said...... "Yes." Mr. Wang Qian is right...... An army must be left behind to hold off the Hawpan-Panther cavalry...... Only in this way can the main force rush to Dingbian County and occupy Dingbian County...... Please think carefully about ......"

If it had been a day ago, Zhang Zhongming would have refused this kind of Jian Yì who let his subordinates go to death.

However, after abandoning tens of thousands of troops at night and fleeing with the elite of his lineage, Zhang Zhongming has completely seen it......

In Zhang Zhongming's thoughts at this moment, if he dies, there will be nothing......

But. If you live on your own, by your own ability. If the army is gone, you can still form it again......

Therefore, as soon as his subordinate Jian Yì spoke, Zhang Zhongming affirmed: "Okay, leave two thousand soldiers and drag the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army...... Without the order of the general, two thousand troops remained, and it is forbidden to take a step back......"

After speaking, without waiting for everyone to receive their orders, they continued to flee for their lives along the official road in the direction of Dingbian County......

In Zhang Zhongming's eyes, as his most elite descendant troops, the two thousand left-behind troops will definitely fight to the last man, block the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and buy time for themselves to escape.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he left them behind, he would mean that he had abandoned them.

Since you can abandon them in order to survive. Then they can also abandon Zhang Zhongming in order to survive......

The two thousand soldiers left behind had not yet finished the formation, and the figure of the two thousand iron horsemen of the Tiger and Leopard Army appeared in their field of vision.

As the iron cavalry got closer and closer to them, the roar of the war horses became louder and louder, and the official road under everyone's feet slowly trembled......

When have these so-called elite descendants faced such a thrilling scene......

Especially when two thousand iron horsemen raised their muskets at the same time, ready to strike at them from a distance.

The rebels at the front, their legs and their weapons-clenched feet, were already beginning to tremble unconsciously......

In the roaring sound of horses' hooves, the piercing gunfire, like firecrackers, sounded on the battlefield.......

The elite of the rebels, who were guarding the front, whose legs had begun to tremble, were knocked to the ground in pieces as if they were chopping melons and vegetables under the strafing of lead bullets......

In the blink of an eye, there were more than 200 soldiers who fell in the first round of lead bullets......

After the tiger and leopard army iron cavalry in front of him finished releasing his gun, he quickly supported his body on the back of the war horse and horse, giving room for his comrades behind him to shoot.

Then, another burst of gunfire rang out on the battlefield.

More than 200 elite soldiers fell on the official road with a face full of horror before they could react......

After three rounds of lead bullets in a row, after destroying the elite of six or seven hundred rebels...... The 2,000 Iron Cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which had not yet suffered any losses, had already rushed to a distance of less than fifty paces from the rebels.

At this time, they were riding on war horses, and they still did not show their sabers.

Under the gaze of more than a thousand pairs of rebels, he took out a grenade and lit the rope. Then, with the help of the inertia brought by the war horse, he threw it out......

In the blink of an eye, more than 500 grenades, after drawing beautiful arcs in the air, smashed at the rebels with great precision......

Although these elite soldiers have no real experience of fighting with the elite of the Tiger and Leopard Army, they do not know the real combat level of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army. However, the continuous battles with the Haw Par Army garrison have already made them feel the power of the grenade......

They couldn't imagine how much damage hundreds or thousands of grenades would cause to everyone after they exploded around them at the same time.

Therefore, the grenades that flew towards them in dense volleys had just entered their field of vision, and they had a trace of retreat in their hearts.

And at this critical moment, a rebel soldier was very lucky to be this bird.

Faced with such a close threat of death, he had completely lost confidence in Zhang Zhongming, so he directly threw away his weapon and fled backwards regardless of it.

However, as a bird, he is destined not to end well.

As soon as he escaped a few steps, the ghost-headed broadsword in the officer's hand landed on it and cut him to the ground.

Although the bird died, what she did was like a stone thrown on the calm water, causing countless ripples......

As soon as the first bird appeared, those rebels who were determined to retreat followed suit, threw away their weapons one after another, and began to flee for their lives.

A deserter, a limited number of officers can also be stopped.

However, dozens or hundreds of rebels were deserters at the same time, and no matter how capable the officers were, there was no way to stop them.

A swarm of grenades landed around them and exploded, knocking swaths of rebels to the ground. This kind of small-scale rout directly turned into a large-scale rout.

Lucky enough to dodge grenade killing, but also able to move the rebels. It's like a frightened rabbit that quickly scatters around and runs for its life. (To be continued......)
