The Emperor of the Apocalypse said goodbye and continued to lead the team to gallop.

Zhang Jing also followed, and I have to say that the Emperor of the Apocalypse's riding skills are exquisite.

Coming all the way, Zhang Jing was embarrassed enough.

In the evening, encamped, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse was still in a good mood, summoned Zhang Jing to the big tent, and looked up at Zhang Jing: "Zhang Qing, this Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have gathered no less than 200,000 people, and now they are all in the capital, and after Handan, it is the hinterland of Beizhili. ”

Obviously, at this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but regret it a little.

I already knew that I wouldn't let Zhang Xianzhong go.

Zhang Jingyi smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, why don't you let the ministers attack first tomorrow?" ”

"What?"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi in surprise, and then said, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "The minister wants to try it, how is the combat power of the rogue." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi incredulously: "Just use these cavalry? ”

Zhang Jingyi said with certainty: "Yes, just use these cavalry." ”

In the past, it was the Emperor of the Apocalypse who was reckless, but he didn't expect that this time, Zhang Jingyi was even more reckless than him.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately shook his head and said, "The thief is very powerful, and he should not be underestimated. We had to take them by surprise before, and these people had not seen the power of firearms, so we could decide a battle. But we must not be complacent, as the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, even if Zhang Qing is arrogant, we must not treat them as a rabble. ”

After a day of galloping, everyone was tired, so they fell asleep that night.

The next morning, when the morning was dawning, there was smoke in the camp, and after breakfast, everyone got on their horses.

At this time, someone hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, four or five miles ahead, there are a large number of thieves. ”

After hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Do they also march at night?" Why is there no one patrolling at night and not coming to make a report? ”

"Someone had already noticed the movement of the Liukou during the night, but Your Majesty was already asleep by then, and the teacher was ...... The teacher got the report and said that there was no need to rush, and that he was optimistic at any time, that is, most of the rogues were night blind, and there was no movement at night. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was speechless for a while, and he suddenly found that Zhang Jingyi, who had always been cautious, had now become bold.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but wave to Zhang Jing in the distance, and as soon as Zhang Jing came over, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "This is not how the battle is fought, when you encounter the enemy, of course, you must be reckless, because if you don't break the boat, how can you win." But before the war, he had to be more cautious than anyone else, knowing that he knew his opponent...... Zhang Qing, get on the horse, it seems that you can't stay here for a long time, once you are surrounded by people, it will be inappropriate. ”

So the people got on their horses.

After going out for two or three miles, I saw that there were wanderers everywhere nearby.

I don't know if it's their Chinese army, or the left and right wings, or the vanguard, but they are all over the mountains and fields, and they are everywhere.

Some marched in groups of three or five, others in full formation, hundreds or thousands of men marching with weapons.

The cavalry of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, after suffering a wave of rogues, immediately sharpened their swords, and 1,700 horses were not afraid of danger.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately said: "It seems that most of the thief army is not far away. Quickly disperse them, and then go back to Handan, it is not advisable to stay for a long time. ”

So the cavalry immediately began to set up their formation, and one by one drew their sharp sabers from their waists, and they chose the best horses, and the swords they used in their hands were all made of stainless steel.

The only thing that is the same as the rest of the Donglin Army is this overcoat.

In fact, wearing an overcoat is not for unification, but everyone found that such a cotton coat is a natural cotton armor, which is much lighter than that kind of iron armor, and it is not heavy to wear, which is just in line with the concept of light riding mobility first.

Moreover, its protective power is not under ordinary cotton armor, especially in this era, most of their enemy weapons are relatively shoddy, and swords that are not sharp enough cannot pierce such an overcoat at all.

The idea here is that as long as I'm thick enough, they can't break my defenses.

"Zhang Qing, your equestrian skills are not good, after leading people here, I will lead people to rush." The Emperor of the Apocalypse also drew his sword at this time, and his face was very solemn.

With that, he shouted, "Come with me!" ”

After the order was given, thousands of horses began to stir, and everyone slowly trotted their horses.

Then, the Emperor of the Apocalypse shouted, "Kill! ”

As a result, the cavalry commanders with bamboo whistles in the team blew sharp bamboo whistles one after another.

As the whistle sounded, thousands of iron riders rushed forward like a whirlwind.

The team of men and horses in front of them was scattered, but there were more than 2,000 people.

The march of the rogues is not a swarm of hundreds of thousands of people who act together.

Instead, some people are faster, some people are slower, hundreds of thousands of people, maybe spread over an area of tens of miles.

This one is obviously the best among the rogues, their physical strength is better, otherwise they wouldn't be faster than the others.

Of course, this group of men and horses was also improvised, with hundreds of subordinates from Li Zicheng's old battalion, as well as thousands of other miscellaneous fish and rogues.

mixed and matched a piece of Zhang Xianzhong's people.

The reason why Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses are also among them is because everyone thinks that although Zhang Xianzhong is a general of the defeated army, after all, he has been here once, and he is familiar with the path here, where there are wells nearby, where there are ancient temples, and how the official army is arranged, they are very clear.

And Zhou Qibai is among them.

Zhou Qibai was actually full of complaints.

The beef jerky and dry food were all distributed, and then they could only start eating the military rations of the intruding army, but they were ...... The more I eat, the more I feel like chewing wax.

In the past few days, he felt that he was on the verge of starvation forever, and this feeling made him miss the days of being a prisoner more and more.

And that's not all...... Camping here, it is still very cold at night, but obviously no one goes to Zhang Luo how to keep warm, everyone lights a little bonfire, sleeps on the ground, and in the middle of the night, the firewood is burned clean, even if it is wrapped in a coat, it is still cold to wake up.

As for the rest, he saw with his own eyes that one of his companions had frozen to death in the middle of the night, and by early morning, he had stiffened.

At this time, when they spoke, they talked about the official army, but they deliberately distinguished between the official army and the official army, as if in their minds, the official army of Handan and other official army are two varieties.

The closer he got to Handan, the more complicated Zhou Qiba's heart became.

He really didn't want to fight the Handan officers and soldiers anymore, not because he was afraid of death, after all, a person like him who pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers was just a rotten life, and there was nothing to be greedy for life and afraid of death.

The real reason is that in Zhou Qiba's simple cognition, people let themselves go, and they even beat others again, which is a bit unkind.

But people always go with the flow.

Many people, like Zhou Qiba, have no morale, just take one step at a time.

And at this time...... They spotted a military horse on the side.

At this moment, the leader of the team was suddenly shocked, and then ...... Get the big guys ready to meet the enemy.

The opposite side was all cavalry, and it looked very well-made.

This made the chief dare not slack off, for he knew it well...... A group of ragged outcasts who touched the cavalry was a death.

When the incident occurred in Guanzhong, everyone was not afraid of ordinary officers and soldiers, but they were afraid of the officers and soldiers on horses.

"Ready, ready...... Let's fight with them, kill this group of bitch's eagle dogs, don't panic, everyone is surrounded by our people, as long as we drag them down, it won't be long before the nearby brothers will come to help, and when that time comes...... Let's surround them and slaughter all the things raised by these sons. ”

The leader's eyes showed a fierce light, and his words, although rough, were still quite level.

On the one hand, they told everyone that they would live and die with everyone, and on the other hand, let them not be afraid, they have many people and there are enough reinforcements nearby.

As a result, a group of people began to carry out bamboo poles in a chaotic manner, or gathered together in dense groups to prepare for the impact.

They even put a few large carts in front of them.

Of course, it is also essential to send someone to the neighborhood to ask for help.

In the midst of this confusion, the cavalry began to attack.

With a shrill whistle......

As soon as the whistle sounded......

Suddenly...... The rogues who had finally stabilized began to be in an uproar, and some people subconsciously said: "It's Handan's official army, Handan's official army is here......"

As soon as these words came out, the morale of many people plummeted.

The combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers in Handan, they have seen it with their own eyes, and all of them are extremely strong and have all kinds of strange weapons.

Zhou Qiba's hand holding the bamboo pole began to tremble.

Immediately afterward, the cavalry was ready to sprint.

This made the rogues, who were already a little chaotic, even more confused.

The leader was anxious, and cold sweat like soybeans flowed out of his forehead, and he kept shouting: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... They are still human beings after all...... If you are afraid of something, you will take them down, and then you will have your own reward, and go back to eat meat. ”

It's okay not to say that.

As soon as he heard about eating meat, Zhou Qiba felt hungry, and importantly, it made his memory involuntarily hook.

Suddenly I thought...... I was treated well in Handan, thinking of the faces and the students who gave him coats, the man didn't say a few words to himself, but just told himself not to freeze his body.

And now, this coat is still worn on his body.

He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, and he always felt that his face was a little hot.

Fear...... Disturbed...... Ashamed......

And a little more...... More wonderful minds.

Zhou Qiba was even thinking that if he was captured this time, he didn't know...... What are you eating......

In the blink of an eye.

Bang.

The bamboo pole in his hand...... Fall to the ground.

Someone scolded: "Seven-eight, what are you doing?" ”

Zhou Qiba wailed: "We can't win, and people won't embarrass us!" ”
