71_71495 Huating County is about ten miles away, and it is a flat field.

September is the season when the seeds of the plants are ripe, and the large fields of wild grass are full of grass seeds, swaying heavily with the wind.

When Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, led 6,000 officers and troops to march to this field, he only heard a cannon sound in the distance, and then a large number of rogue soldiers suddenly appeared around.

Governor Zhang's mansion is swearing and sending umbrellas to the people in Pingliang City, such a big move, Li Xinbei, who guards Huating, naturally knows about it for a long time. When Li Xinbei learned that Governor Zhang only brought a mere 6,000 officers and soldiers, and that Liang Jun did not participate in the operation, Li Xinbei's paranoid personality once again came into play. Ignoring Li Ting and Li Chaoqin's insistence on the construction of Huating, he ordered the Li family army to go out, intending to fight the official army on this field.

The two sides fought on a grassy field. Although it was the first time that Governor Zhang himself saw so many thieves, he was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't say a complete sentence in a trembling voice. Fortunately, there were generals such as He Renlong, Li Ying and Huang Ziren in the army, and the officers and troops quickly set up a formation, and the Qingyang garrison general He Renlong roared loudly, and the Qingyang soldiers under his command rushed forward.

Li Xinbei was naturally not to be outdone, and ordered his subordinate Shangtianlong to lead a man and horse out to meet the enemy.

In the field, people suddenly shouted and neighed, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

From the morning to the evening, the two sides left thousands of corpses behind and injured each other.

And behind a small hill on the west side of the field, there was a group of men and horses quietly lurking at some point. Look at the outfit is Liang Jun.

At a glance, the first is the 5,000 infantry led by General Dai Feng, and behind the infantry is the 1,000 artillery battalion led by Sima Qiudao. Seven general cannons stood side by side, Hessesen's muzzles were aligned on the top of the hillside, and the most striking thing was the three thousand cavalry led by Wan Wenshan, and the three thousand war horses were all crossed in the horse's mouth with short sticks to prevent the horses from startling and making noise. Occasionally, he and a few war horses could hear the shouts of killing on the back of the hillside, and kicked their limbs a few times uneasily.

Xu Liang had a makeshift woven straw hat wrapped around his head, a weed in his mouth, and was excitedly lying on the ground watching the two armies in front of him tear apart. Tietou was lying next to Xu Liang, seeing that the official and military camp was gradually showing signs of failure, and asked anxiously, "My lord." It's time to strike, right? ”

Xu Liang chewed the weed in his mouth and said faintly: "What are you panicking about?" ”

Tietou said: "My lord, you see that the official and military camp has become smaller and smaller, and if you fight for a while, it will collapse." ”

Xu Liang said: "Isn't this still collapsed?" After speaking, he pointed to the extremely conspicuous carriage in the official and military camp. said: "Have you seen Governor Zhang's mansion?" The old boy is still sitting firmly in the carriage, he is not in a hurry, what are we anxious about? ”

"Uh......"

Xu Liang was far away, and he couldn't see Governor Zhang's expression clearly, if he stood in front of Governor Zhang, presumably Xu Liang would not have said such a thing.

In fact, Governor Zhang was sitting unsteadily at the moment, so anxious that he almost cried. Although the carriage was surrounded by officers and soldiers, they protected themselves. However, Governor Zhang still felt insecure.

Even the blind can see the shape of the war, the difference between the forces of the official army and the Li Jiajun is too great, and defeat is no longer a matter of probability. It's a matter of time.

A rough estimate of the casualties of the officers and soldiers is already more than half. Governor Zhang sat in the carriage and looked at the shape through the crack in the door, knowing that if he didn't withdraw, he was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out.

Governor Zhang was just about to poke his head out to give the order to withdraw his troops, when a stray arrow suddenly flew from nowhere. A clang shot into the car door and nailed diagonally into the door. The feathers of the arrows trembled.

"Mom!" Governor Zhang screamed and sat back in the carriage. The heartbeat in the chest felt like it was about to pop out.

"Someone, come on!" Governor Zhang exclaimed in the car.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Hearing this, the soldier of Anton's central guard stepped forward, opened the door a crack, and asked with a probe looking inside.

When Governor Zhang saw this soldier, he was like a man in the water grabbing the last life-saving weed, grabbed the soldier's hand in panic, and shouted repeatedly: "Go and give an order to the three generals, the thieves are powerful, and it is not suitable to be the enemy, quickly withdraw the troops!" ”

The soldier got the order, retracted his head, and soon leaned in again, and shouted: "My lord, General He and General Li are fighting with the thieves in front of the battle, and the order cannot be passed for the time being." At present, only General Huang Ziren is still in the formation. ”

"Huh?" Governor Zhang exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Then, quickly invite General Huang over." When the soldier shrank his head again, Governor Zhang heard a few more vibrations on the door, and apparently a few more streams of arrows were fired at the carriage. He suddenly felt that the target of the carriage was too big, and he had undoubtedly become a living target for Li Jiajun sitting in it, so he got up, looked out cautiously, opened the door, jumped out of the carriage, ran to the middle of the soldiers, lowered his head, and looked out with his head down.

When the soldiers saw Governor Zhang getting off the carriage, they saluted one after another.

"I've seen Lord Futai!"

Governor Zhang waved his hand again and again, and after a while, Anton Zhongwei, who was resting in the military formation, commanded Tongzhi Huang Ziren, wearing heavy armor, stepped forward and arched his hand towards Governor Zhang's mansion and said: "Futai, what are the instructions for summoning the last general?" ”

"General Huang, you're just in time!" Governor Zhang pulled Huang Ziren over, with a frightened expression on his face, and said: "The thieves are powerful, this battle can't be fought anymore, we have to withdraw our troops before the thieves form a siege." ”

Huang Ziren listened, looked at the almost wounded Anton Central Guard soldiers around him, nodded heavily, and said, "My lord is reasonable. The last general went to summon General He Renlong and General Li Ying to come over and discuss the withdrawal of troops. ”

Hearing this, Governor Zhang waved his hand and said, "General Huang, the shape is changing rapidly, and it is too late to consult with General He and General Li at this time." The general quickly gathered his troops and horses and evacuated with the mansion. ”

"Huh?" Huang Ziren was startled, and pointed at He Renlong and Li Ying, who were leading the soldiers to hedge against the thief army, in surprise, and hesitated: "But General He and General Li are still tearing up the enemy in front of the battle, and it is not appropriate for our army to suddenly withdraw at this time, right?" ”

Governor Zhang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, took Huang Ziren's hand, and said anxiously: "General Huang's words are wrong, at this time, General He and General Li are tearing people apart in front of the battle, just resisting the thief army, and buying time for us to evacuate." We can't afford to live up to the good intentions of the two generals. Retreat. ”

Before Huang Ziren could say anything, he suddenly noticed that the soldiers of Anton's central guard were all by his side, and if he withdrew with Governor Zhang's mansion at this time, with He Renlong and Li Ying in the rear, Anton's central guards and horses would be able to greatly reduce casualties. At that moment, his expression moved, and he gave his hand to answer the word, and ordered the Anton Central Guard Department to protect Governor Zhang's mansion to evacuate quickly.

Zhang Zhifu and Huang Ziren quietly evacuated the battlefield with Anton Zhongwei's men and horses, and He Renlong and Li Ying, who were fighting with the thieves in front, soon knew, and looked back to see Zhang Zhifu, who was wearing a crimson official robe under the yellow flag of Anton Zhongwei, riding a horse and fleeing in panic, and couldn't help but scold angrily.

This kind of thing can't stop people at all, and soon the entire officers and soldiers found out that Governor Zhang had run away with people first, and the officers and soldiers were suddenly extremely low.

Li Xinbei, the leader of the Li family army who commanded the thieves to fight, saw from a distance that there were signs of panic in the camp of the official army, and saw that an official army had withdrawn from the battlefield and fled quickly into the distance.

The rogue drums in the rogue army suddenly rang out, and the rogue thieves launched a fierce attack on the panicked official army.

If the official army lacked a commander, it would have been reduced to a plate of scattered sand long ago. Qingyang garrison He Renlong and Guyuan guerrilla Li Ying each led the men and horses in their own army, and no one cared about anyone, and they fought and left.

Behind the two of them, the army of thieves chased after them like crazy.

The retreat of the official army was rushed by the thief army, and soon turned into a rout, and the roar of He Renlong, like a trapped beast, looked extremely sad and piercing among the officers and soldiers who scattered and fled in a chaotic manner.

The thief army pursued and killed all the way, the officers and soldiers lost their armor, and there were countless casualties. Except for a few personal guards who followed closely behind, it was difficult for the two generals to gather forces to stop the pursuers.

He Renlong saw that there were panicked deserters all around, and when he turned around and saw the pursuers getting closer and closer, he roared angrily, lowered his body, and led the few pro-soldiers to run wildly.

Finding the prefect Zhang's mansion, who was stabbed a thousand times, is secondary, and the top priority is to save his life first.

The sound of heavy horses' hooves sounded at this moment. Hearing the burst of cheers and tears of joy among the officers and soldiers who had fled, He Renlong looked up in disbelief and saw that on the hillside in front of him, there were three or four thousand cavalrymen under black pressure, leveling their spears, and galloping in the direction of the officers and soldiers fleeing.

The heavy sound of horses' hooves sounded like stepping on the dragon's heart, which shook the always arrogant He madman for a while, and his heart forgot to beat.

The cavalry arrived in a blink of an eye, and when the cavalry general who led the troops passed by He Renlong's side, he seemed to glance at He Renlong, and then staggered over.

"Kill!" He Renlong heard the fierce killing sound of the cavalry general.

"Kill !!" The entire cavalry army followed the cavalry general's shouts and burst out with earth-shattering shouts of killing. Immediately, the entire cavalry team was like a steel knife that had just been unsheathed, mercilessly rushing into the pursuing army of thieves, and reaping human lives on a large scale.
