After the White Lotus Sect's military horses were killed, some minions were busy dismounting and going to cut off people's heads. These green forest bandits are from the 32 villages of Shandong, and they have many orders, and they are the most difficult to order. Looking at the dead corpses in this place now, it is clearly money, how can they care about obeying orders, especially seeing that the White Lotus Sect is so cowardly, what can they do even if they fight back? Even the White Lotus Cultists who were killed by the city's artillery, bows and arrows some time ago, they refused to let go of their heads.

Yan Hong was on the city wall, and saw hundreds of big men busy cutting off people's heads, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Sure enough, it's a group of mud that can't support the wall!" Zhang Qingyan said: "Yan Qincha doesn't say that, my Ming army's army is no better than them." The left and right are for the silver, and the beheading is a matter of no choice. ”

It was easy to wait for the bandits to cut off all the heads, Zuo Shenlei gave an order, and hundreds of horsemen turned their heads to the east, killing along the way. Originally, there was a group of White Lotus Sect soldiers attacking the city on the east side of the North Gate, counting about two thousand, but the composition was even more rubbish than the army of the North Gate, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance at all.

In this way, more than 500 horse thieves from Zuo Shenlei went all the way around the city, turning the north gate to the east gate, and the east gate to the south gate. At that time, although there were tens of thousands of soldiers besieged by the White Lotus Sect outside the city, they were scattered everywhere, and because of the lack of information, they did not have time to gather to resist. Those green forest ringing horses are used to hard frames, and they are extremely fierce, so people block people all the way to kill people, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddhas, and they actually go around the city for half a week, invincible.

Kankan reached the south gate, although this group of horse thieves also killed more than 20 horsemen. But each horse's neck hangs in front of the human head. There are more than a dozen. There are two or three less, which can be described as a full load. After dispersing the White Lotus Sect soldiers at the south gate, Xie Baoshan said to Zuo Shenlei: "Old man Zuo, accept it when you see it, let's go back to the city." ”

Before Zuo Shenlei could answer, another bandit leader had already said: "Yan Qin's general order, but kill the four gates, go back at this time." Not afraid of violating military orders? Besides, these mud-legged heads are all white silver, so you are willing to let them go like this? ”

As soon as he said this, the other bandits clamored to kill half of the city again. So Zuo Shenlei took them and went to the west gate again. However, due to the delay in cutting off their heads along the way, when they arrived at the west gate, they found that the five or six thousand White Lotus disciples at the west gate were already in full formation, and about a thousand people lined up in the direction of the city gate, and the others were divided into three teams, all facing south.

Although Zuo Shenlei's brain is not very good. But it's not an idiot, looking at this situation, it is not easy to break through. He hurried near the city and shouted, "The gates of the city are about to be opened." Take us in! ”

But looking at the Jinan right guard Qianhu who supervised the battle on the city tower, he replied: "The owner of the left village, I don't have many muskets and archers in the West Gate Tower, and I am afraid that the enemy army will take advantage of the situation to seize the city when I open the city gate, and the old village master should go to the north gate!" ”

Zuo Shenlei was helpless, and shouted, "The wind is tight, pull and hoo!" "Take the horse thieves around the west gate and go to the north gate.

Seeing that it was about to reach the north gate, when it arrived at the north gate, naturally there was a large group of musketeers to answer, and it was not a problem to open the door and enter the city. And once you return to the city and bring back these thousands of heads, it will be tens of thousands of taels of silver! The bandits were dreaming, but unexpectedly, just outside the north gate, about 1,000 Mongolian cavalry were already ready.

In many people's knowledge, the Mongols relied on light cavalry to fight the world, which is not accurate. In fact, the main force of the Mongol cavalry was the heavy cavalry, which accounted for about 40% of the total, and these Mongol heavy cavalry wore heavy armor and their horses were also covered with armor. It's just that now Mongolia's strength is not as good as before, the craftsmen have lost everything, and even the iron pot has to be purchased from the Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to make up such a neatly equipped heavy cavalry. Kuteng Khan fought for this Jinan, and this experience was really bloody.

Now among the 1,000 cavalry, about 800 are equipped heavy cavalry, they wear iron helmets, Luo ring armor, and the people led by them are also wearing the iron armor of the Ming army snatched from the White Lotus Sect, holding iron hook guns, wearing khan scimitars, short axes, maces, and leather armor on their horses. The 800 men were divided into about dozens of squads, most of which formed an arrow-shaped queue, and about a hundred people pulled a line behind the group. Behind this column of heavy cavalry and on the flanks of the whole team, there were about two hundred light cavalry, and these light cavalry were scattered in small groups.

Seeing the horse thieves coming this way with their heads, the commander Barra shouted, "Sons, follow me to kill all these dogs!" "Clamp the horse and go out first. Behind him, six or seven hundred Mongolian heavy cavalry lined up in an arrow formation, like a soaring lightning, rushing straight to the left and sinking thunder. With the sound of hurried hooves, this cavalry seemed to be a huge arrow, carrying the wind of death, maintaining this momentum of crushing everything, and wanted to crush the cavalry of Zuo Shenlei in one fell swoop.

The team led by Zuo Shenlei was running around Jinan City at this moment, and it had long since lost its spirit, and the team was scattered. Just saying that the human head hanging under the neck of their horse is less than ten catties, and more than dozens of catties, which is also a big burden. Seeing a standard iron horse rushing towards him, there was no need to fight, but the momentum of this queue alone knew that it was not comparable to his own rabble.

In the old days, bandits relied on their equestrian skills and could quickly circle their horses and escape. But at this time, the horse team had been running around for a long time, and it was encountering the enemy outside the city, and there were White Lotus Sect stragglers on all sides, and the direction of the enemy's charge happened to cut off the way back to the north gate in the oblique stab. This time, I wanted to run for my life, but it was too late.

After all, for decades of rolling on the green forest road, the blood is pilaf, and he has developed a fierce spirit that is born after death. He saw that the enemy cavalry had blocked the retreat, and if he ran away in a circle of horses, he would probably be chased and annihilated outside the city by the enemy army. Rather than this, it is better to fight freely, and maybe you can penetrate the enemy formation and escape back to the north gate.

Thinking of this, he waved his double whip and shouted: "Brothers and sons of all families, rush up with me, fight with them, and kill back to the city!" "Shoot the horse and be the first to kill. The Shandong horse thieves behind them also caught up one after another, shouting in unison, "Kill!" With billowing dust and sand, he walked opposite the Mongol cavalry. All the officers and soldiers of the imperial court on the north gate also watched intently. Although Yan Hong was annoyed that Zuo Shenlei was forgetful of his righteousness and obscene behavior, he nodded secretly when he saw his bravery in the face of the enemy.

In the blink of an eye, the two teams of cavalry were about to collide head-on. Who knows that the Green Forest Horse Team does not belong to each other, and people's hearts are not neat. Zuo Shenlei charged forward with his henchmen, but he could drive everyone to play together, but Xie Baoshan of Qingshigang behind the team was pregnant with two hearts. He was cunning, and his heart said, Lao Tzu came out of the city to cut off a few more heads, return to the city and repay more credit, so that he could sell a good man in front of Qincha. Why are you following Old Ghost Zuo to die now? Just when they blocked the Mongols, Lao Tzu pulled out his legs and slipped away!

Thinking of this, he winked at a few of his henchmen and shouted "Kill!" But he suddenly pulled the horse into the oblique thorn, intending to bypass the battlefield where the two armies clashed, and fled directly to the north gate.

The cavalry clashed, all with momentum. As a result, when the two armies were hedging, Xie Baoshan actually demolished the filth. As soon as a few of his men ran, dozens of his horsemen also turned around and ran. The rest of the team saw it, and some instinctively followed the horse to escape into the spur, while others were at a loss and couldn't help but slow down the pull. The people of the green forest did not have any formation in the first place, and in this way, they were even more divided and scattered. Zuo Shenlei, who was in front of the team, caught a glimpse of what happened from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but scold: "Xie Baoshan, who killed a thousand knives, you bastard, you can't die well!" ”

But just as he cursed these words, the Mongolian iron cavalry killed him head-on. At this point, it's too late to run. The green forest horse thieves in the team shot a row of feathered arrows, but most of them hit the iron armor and fell to the ground, and only one Mongolian cavalryman was hit by an arrow in the face and fell off the saddle. Without waiting for the second row of arrows to be fired, the Mongolian iron cavalry rushed into the queue, and the high-speed galloping war horses and the cold light flashed spear heads, and began to harvest human lives.

This iron cavalry is the elite of the grassland, and it is really fierce and brave. As for the heroes of the green forest, although they can also be called skilled archers and horses, how can they compare with these warriors who have grown up in the saddle since childhood? Especially in the field of fighting, we must not only look at individual bravery, but also talk about the formation of the queue, military discipline and military formation. In this regard, the difference between these green forest horses and the Mongolian iron horses is not half a point.

In addition, there are only more than 500 cavalry in the green forest, and Xie Baoshan took the lead in demolishing the filth, and the army's morale is turbulent, and there are battles and escapes. Therefore, Fang Cai also slashed and killed the Green Forest cavalry of the White Lotus Sect like slaughtering dogs, but at this time, he was completely powerless to parry. The saber slashed, and the head rolled off; The spear pierced through the chest and abdomen. Some were directly knocked down by the Mongolian iron cavalry and the men and horses.

The white cow cottage master Zuo Shenlei rose up with martial arts and knocked a Mongolian cavalry off his horse. His iron whip was a blunt weapon, and it was better against heavy cavalrymen with armor than with a sword or spear. Then two other Mongol cavalrymen flanked him, and their sabers flicked, cutting off both of his arms. Zuo Shen thundered a few times in pain, and was knocked off his horse by the Mongolian soldiers in the rear and trampled to death.

The two teams of cavalry staggered by, and it was only a matter of moments. Like a hot knife sticking butter to it, the Mongol cavalry cut the ranks of the Green Forest Soldiers into countless small pieces from the middle. Only this burst of rushing and killing collisions, the knights in the Green Forest team have been reduced by almost half. And only four or five of the Mongol soldiers fell off their horses.

Those green forest cavalry who were lucky enough to rush through the front of the Mongol army, where did they dare to fight again, and they panicked to pull their horses and flee. However, there were more than 100 Mongolian iron cavalry forming a sparse cavalry line, followed by groups of light cavalry. The main force of the six or seven hundred Mongolian heavy cavalry that had just rushed over also quickly turned around and formed a two-line encirclement.

At this moment, these green forest cavalry really have no way to advance or retreat. Some spelled out the most bloody gas, scolded loudly, and fought bravely. Others shouted helplessly and were willing to surrender. But the result was the same. Of course, the recalcitrant ones were chopped off their horses by the Mongol soldiers in a few rounds, and those who begged to surrender, the Mongols still slashed and killed them as if they were unaware. In less than a meal, these green forest cavalry were almost completely destroyed, and only twenty or thirty men were lucky enough to break out of the Mongol encirclement. (To be continued......)
