More than 400 cavalry were divided to drive the defeated soldiers to attack the front camp of the invading army, and now there are more than 400 cavalry left under Chen Wang's command.

The more than 400 horsemen assigned to Hu Zhili basically did not wear armor, and Chen Wang's task to Hu Zhili was not too dead, allowing him to make a decision on the spot, and expand the results as much as possible while ensuring safety.

The remaining 400 or so horsemen were all changed into armor, because the opponent they were going to face next was the elite cavalry of the breaking army.

The fire in the west intensified, and Chen Wang led his horse and just looked ahead, staring at the lights above the wilderness to the north.

The most important thing is whether Li Zicheng can be kept.

The invading army in front of them cried and fled in a hurry, without Chen Wang's orders.

The Liao cavalry was already familiar with how to drive away the rout, and they had done this kind of thing too many times, and they had already been familiar with it.

A large number of routs were driven all the way north, and the flight of the rout was basically aimless.

The fear of death haunted their heads, and their consciousness was already consumed by fear.

Most of the routed soldiers had only one thought in their minds - to flee to a place where there were no enemies.

Chen Wang pulled the war horse, controlled the horse's speed, and tried his best to calm the breath in his chest.

The night in August was still hot, stuffy under dozens of pounds of iron armor, even though he was wearing a silk lining with good heat dissipation, it was still difficult to stifle the heat that emanated from the inside out.

Becoming the commander of the first battalion and coordinating the entire battle situation, Chen Wang felt a little powerless in many aspects.

In the past, as a family member, he only had to face the enemy in front of him.

But now he doesn't just need to face the people in front of him, he also needs to look at the whole situation and be wary of those enemies that are yet to come.

You also need to think about your own casualties, the enemy's casualties, and the consequences of each situation.

In many cases, the course of the battle situation is completely different from the deduction and assumption.

Now Chen Wang has encountered another unexpected situation.

Just when Chen Wang led his troops all the way north, driving the defeated troops to attack the army formation in Beicheng, there was a sudden commotion behind the army.

The noise did not mean to stop in the slightest, but grew louder and louder.

Immediately afterwards, like thunder, the sound of horses' hooves resounded in Chen Wang's ears.

Chen Wang thought that the army had launched a counterattack, he raised the saber in his hand, shouted loudly, and gathered all the generals under his command.

But when the cavalry gathered under his banner, Chen Wang found that the fires on the outskirts of the northern city were speeding towards the east.

This unexpected scene, Chen Wang had never imagined at all, he had already prepared everything.

As long as the intruding army makes a move, the infantry team under the eastern city will take advantage of the situation to kill the general, and the two loaves will come together.

It wasn't until the firelight belonging to the Chuang army swept several miles to the east that Chen Wang finally reacted.

Chen Wang didn't expect that Li Zicheng would run directly down the old camp in the rear and run directly!

Li Zicheng led the elite cavalry to escape, and the horse army naturally followed.

The elite cavalry and the horse army fled first, and the remaining foot soldiers were all panicked.

He didn't put up any decent resistance at all, and was directly routed by the rout troops driven from the eastern city.

The distance has been widened, and now it's too late to pursue.

Chen Wang's face was slightly gloomy, and his horizontal spear stopped the commotion of the cavalry.

"Relieve the siege of Beicheng first."

Chen Wang stared at the farther and farther firelight in the distance.

According to the letter from Gao Jie, Li Zicheng's family members are all in the camp.

And Li Zicheng also knew very well that the defenders in Chunhua City were less than 3,000 people.

Chen Wang thought about many situations, but he didn't consider that Li Zicheng would run away directly.

After all, Li Zicheng now has more than 3,000 elite horsemen under his command, not to mention the large number of horse troops.

But Li Zicheng fled, and he didn't look back, and even before he led the cavalry to Beicheng, Li Zicheng had already led the army under his command to escape.

I thought it was a vicious fight, but in the end, it was a punch in the air.

However, when Chen Wang regained his mind and looked back to the west, he also understood why Li Zicheng actually fled directly.

At this time, the entire camp of the Chuang army almost turned into a sea of fire, and the sea of fire still has a tendency to increase.

Thinking of the continuous explosions before, Chen Wang was naturally clear in his heart.

Such a big fire may have been caused by Gao Jie igniting the powder magazine of the invading army.

When Chen Wang stopped the war horse, he found that he didn't know when it started, and a strong east wind was already blowing outside Chunhua City.

The wind fueled the fire, and the fire that ignited in the rear camp had already swept through most of the camp.

But it was precisely because of Li Zicheng's escape that the morale of the intrusive army in Beicheng instantly fell to the bottom, and they were immediately scattered.

As soon as the officers and soldiers came, he threw his blades and knelt directly on the ground.

Those who fled in the darkness, Chen Wang did not order the pursuit again.

He had few troops under his command, with only 900 cavalry in total, and more than 400 cavalry.

It's okay to coerce the rout to make a surprise attack, but it's still a little difficult to really hedge against the elite cavalry of the invading army in the wilderness.

The black light was blinding, and Chen Wang didn't know how many cavalry Li Zicheng had brought with him when he fled.

Now it is already a big victory, although Li Zicheng has escaped for the time being, but the rest of the army is unable to escape.

This merit, this big victory is enough.

Moreover, Li Zicheng fled all the way with so many people, and he could only take the avenue.

After crossing Chunhua, there is only one avenue to the southeast, straight into the Guanzhong Plain.

Calculating the time, I am afraid that Li Zicheng will lead the troops to escape halfway, and he will meet Liu Chenggong, who led the troops to help.

Chen Wang glanced up at the east, and the fire belonging to the intrusive army was fading away.

When he led his troops out of Dongcheng, it was about the fourth watch.

The summer day dawns early, and now the sky is already beginning to brighten.

After a while, you will be able to see a lot of things clearly even without a torch.

Chen Wang glanced at the corpses everywhere and ordered:

"Summoned Hu Zhili and ordered him to lead his troops back to the city."

However, Hu Zhili obviously had no way to receive Chen Wang's order, because he was now trapped in the rout.

When Hu Zhili drove the rout all the way to the front camp of the breaking army, the fire had already spread to the front camp.

The camp before the invasion was already a crowd, and a large number of soldiers wanted to escape from the camp, but they happened to collide with a group of routs.

When the routs saw the raging fire, they dared to continue to flee towards the camp, and they all turned around and fled in the opposite direction.
