There weren't many cavalry on either side. One is that war horses are expensive and too resource-intensive to raise. The other is that cavalry is a difficult technical class. It's a little too hard for them to be a little bit too hard for the Rogues.

There are few cavalry on Lu Xiao's side, mainly because there is too little time. Except for a few elites recruited directly from the army. In such a short time, it is difficult to train a qualified cavalry. Therefore, in the entire loyal and brave guard, there is only Zuo Liangyu's 1,000 cavalry regiment.

All the rest are muskets, artillery, archers, and infantry regiments in the Qi family army mode.

At this time, Lu Xiao personally went into battle, holding a horse lance, and Ding Xiu and Zuo Liangyu were the vanguards on the left and right, protecting him and forcibly charging directly into battle.

Zhang Xianzhong sneered, and Lu Xiao was directly separated from him by thousands of soldiers. After that, there was Zhang Xianzhong's supervising team, as well as the personal guard. He didn't believe that Lu Xiao could rush over with a team of 1,000 people.

During the attack, the horse lance in Lu Xiao's hand successively flew more than a dozen rogues. The entire cavalry team, like a sharp arrow, directly pierced the defense line composed of thousands of rogues.

Then a cavalry regiment also rushed out from the opposite side. This is one of Zhang Xianzhong's hole cards. After more than a year of fighting, a cavalry team of thousands of people was saved. If it weren't for the menacing enemy, Zhang Xianzhong would not have been willing to let these cavalrymen play.

At the head was a swarthy and tall general. Riding a war horse under his crotch, wielding a Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, he rushed up to Lu Xiao.

In one face, the horse lance in Lu Xiao's hand blocked the opponent's big knife. The blade slashed across the opponent's throat. With just one convergence, Lu Xiao beheaded the opponent's cavalry leader under his horse.

"The shelf is good, but it's a pity that it's a fancy shelf."

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong finally realized that something was wrong.

"Archer, shoot him for me."

Lu Xiao and his party quickly took off the shield on their backs and blocked them in front of them. Charge with the opponent's bow and arrow.

It was a little late under Zhang Xianzhong's order. He didn't expect the combat effectiveness of this Ming cavalry to be so strong. The infantry camp was vulnerable, and their own cavalry was not a united enemy. The archers were a little too late to play.

After three volleys, Lu Xiao's cavalry had already rushed in front of him.

"Shield!!"

One of the guards shouted. Dozens of tall soldiers, carrying a kind of huge shield like a door panel. blocked in front of Zhang Xianzhong. These shields had brackets at the back, which were specially designed to deal with cavalry charges.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong already felt that he was not secondary. He called one of his guards and told him to prepare the way back. Obviously, he still has an absolute advantage in numbers, but Zhang Xianzhong feels that this battle has been lost.

Because it didn't matter what the rest of the soldiers were like. If you can't stop it, it's all over. He's still dizzy. It has been almost three years since the army was raised, and it has fought more than a dozen battles with the Ming army. I have never encountered such a hard, brave Ming army.

The general at the head has the courage of ten thousand people. A horse lance is impermeable. His own cavalry, personal guards, and even those martial arts masters who were recruited with a lot of money were directly cut and chopped in front of him, and they were killed in a scattered manner.

In this way, it is estimated that his last shield formation will not be able to stop the opponent. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong is ready to withdraw. He did not send a signal to the army to retreat. Those homeless people, how many or as many as they want, he needs them to fight with the Ming army and drag the Ming army. The cavalry team that only sent a flag to inform them, as well as the personal guard regiment, were ready to retreat.

Lu Xiao burst into a shout, and the whole person jumped directly from the horse, and the horse lance in his hand was close to the ground and inserted into the bottom of the giant shield. Then he exerted his strength with both hands and directly lifted a shield weighing dozens of pounds into the air. Behind him, Ding Xiu held a Miao knife in his hand and jumped directly into the gap.

The shield array was punched out of a gap. Then the gap was rapidly widened. Through the sparse shield array, Lu Xiao had already seen Zhang Xianzhong who was about to get on his horse and escape.

The horse lance in Lu Xiao's hand swept and directly cut the throats of the four enemy soldiers in front of him. The whole person took a step forward, and the horse lance in his hand was used as a javelin. With all his strength, he threw it directly.

The piercing whistling sound made Zhang Xianzhong's hairs stand on end. He didn't even want to dodge to one side. But the speed of the lance is just too fast. Even though he dodged the fatal blow, he was still stabbed in the shoulder by the galloping horse.

Zhang Xianzhong only felt a huge pain and impact, and knocked himself away. The whole person flew more than five meters away and fell heavily to the ground.

On the other side, Lu Xiao easily pulled out the long knife on his waist and joined Ding Xiu. teamed up to kill Zhang Xianzhong's last personal guard group.

On the other side, on the frontal battlefield.

The Tiger Zun Cannon has finally fired. This kind of small-caliber shotgun with a low rate of fire is like cutting leeks against the enemy who rushes up in a swarm. Although two salves were fired from start to finish. However, nearly 1,000 casualties were still caused.

The remaining enemy, albeit barely approaching the position. But in the face of the loyal guards who have already seen blood. And so, another brutal massacre.

In this era, Dunton had meat to eat and received military training from Lu Xiao. At the same time, he also holds the strongest firearms at this stage. Fighting these rogues is basically a dimensionality reduction strike.

Even Zhang Xianzhong, a famous thief in history, defeated the Ming army many times with his soldiers. But in Lu Xiao's view, it's just rookies pecking at each other.

There is not enough material supply, there is not enough militarized training, there is no mature belief system, there is no sophisticated weaponry, and there is no advanced combat concept. These soldiers are not elite at all.

The Tartars are not the same as the Ming army. They are deep in the mountains, and in order to survive, they are extremely aggressive by nature. Plus how many heavy cavalry the elite troops of the Tartars. On the side of the Ming Dynasty, the means of dealing with cavalry were extremely different.

Originally, firearms were the best choice. But the firearms of the Ming army killed more of their own people than the enemy. It's not useful at all. So it's completely impossible to go head-to-head with the Tartars.

The very few Qi family troops and white-pole troops who were able to fight a tough battle with the Tartars were all killed by their own people. This led to the erosion of the war later. It can be said that in the later period, among the Ming army, the Liukou, and the Tartars, the Ming army became the weakest existence. Anyone can fight a dozen.

Ding Xiu was also the first time to see Lu Xiao fighting with all his might. The long knife in his hand was so fast that the enemy soldiers couldn't see it clearly. The whole person is like an efficient killing machine. Several shuttles through the crowd, killing more than 30 people in a row. Directly let the battlefield around him appear a clearing.

Lu Xiao went straight through Zhang Xianzhong's personal guard group and walked towards Zhang Xianzhong, who was squirming on the ground. And the hundreds of guards around looked stunned, but no one dared to step forward to stop them.

Zhang Xianzhong turned around and wanted to say something. But as soon as he turned around, he met Lu Xiao's sword light.

"Sorry, I'm only interested in your head!"
