Chapter 285: The Wrath of the Piff (2)
Li Qiang pulled his bridle stiffly, but his face was whipped out with a bulging blood mark by Li Zicheng's horsewhip. At this moment, Yuan Zongdi led his men and horses to arrive, he saw that there was a quarrel here, Yuan Zongdi hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation, they were all old brothers who were born and died together, he didn't think much about it and suddenly understood the deep meaning of Zicheng, he secretly scolded, "I didn't see that Li Qiang is still a talent, the general is captured because of himself, how can the main general not save the reason, Li Qiang is so arguing, it seems that Brother Li's righteousness ......"
Seeing that Li Zicheng had selected thirty people from his own personal soldiers and generals, and Yuan Zongdi had also hurriedly selected more than a dozen fierce and warlike generals, and the two had a total of fifty cavalry, Li Zicheng asked Gao Yigong to lead the army to stay in place and rest.
He and Yuan Zongdi led the cavalry of fifty people, like sharp arrows off the string, and in the blink of an eye, they killed in front of the military formation half a mile away, with Li Zicheng and Yuan Zongdi in front, and rushed straight into the core of the official army array. Zu Dabi had just removed his armor, and the soldiers on the side were also caught off guard.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Nai was recaptured by Yuan Zongdi. In the blink of an eye, the tiger general Yuan Zongdi had already killed two enemy generals guarding Zhang Nai with an iron whip in his hand, he drew a short sword to cut the rope on Zhang Nai's hand, and handed him a long sword that he had taken from the enemy general's hand.
Li Zicheng and Yuan Zongdi, the two bigwigs, rushed into Zu Dabi's phalanx as the first soldiers, and how could Gao Yigong and the hundreds of generals left behind rest? They followed behind Li Zicheng and shouted under the command of Gao Yigong, covering up the formation of Li Zicheng and Yuan Zongdi.
Zu Dabi saw that his big array was in chaos before he put on his armor, he kicked down a war horse that ran past him, and slapped his big hand on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse fled in pain. Yuan Zongdi is also a tiger general in the world, his eyes are red when he kills, and when he sees that the large array of thousands of men and horses is disrupted by more than 50 of his own people, he is even more eager to invite battle on the horse.
His skin was already dark, and his beard on his temples looked like a reborn Zhang Fei after opening at first glance, and the iron whip flew across the battlefield, and no one dared to defeat him in the scattered enemy formation. Seeing a large banner embroidered with the word "ancestor" gradually moving away, he rode his horse and galloped wildly, and caught up in an instant.
Zu Dabi's Chinese army just put on armor for him, and before he could buckle the heart guard, Yuan Zongdi saw the tiger roar, and the prancing horse arrived, and an iron whip in his right hand knocked Zu Dabi's Chinese army off the horse, and when he smashed down with his left whip, Zu Dabi's personal soldiers and partial generals sacrificed their lives to fight back, and rescued Zu Dabi, who was crooked in armor, from the battlefield.
Yuan Zongdi's lieutenant, Xiao Dang Shouyi, the clan brother of the party Shousu, has suffered two wounds, seeing Yuan Zongdi knock Zu Dabi's lieutenant officer off the horse, he shouted and rushed forward, wielding a knife to kill the ancestral battalion flag officer who did not have time to escape, and successively slashed and killed several soldiers who supported the ancestral banner, and captured Zu Dabi's banner.
Sun Xianzu, who was besieging Hao Shaoqi, was extremely slippery, he knew the importance of preserving his strength to the leading generals, and when he saw that Zu Dabi was defeated and Daxu was also taken away, he secretly ordered the whole army to retreat quickly, and he fled with flying horses in the encirclement of his own soldiers. Where was Liu Fangliang willing to let this unique hussar general of the Ming Dynasty escape, he urged his crotch to dismount and then chase.
Sun Xianzu's personal generals saw that Liu Fangliang, who was in a hurry to chase after him, and brought more than a dozen Sun Ying's personal soldiers to fight Liu Fangliang. In just three or five rounds, Liu Fangliang slaughtered more than a dozen enemy horsemen with a spear and a horse, and seeing Sun Xianzu's war horse running away, he picked up his bow and arrow, and shot Sun Xianzu's mount with an arrow from afar......
However, Sun Xianzu's standard battalion immediately surrounded him, desperately fighting with Liu Fangliang, and when Liu Fangliang arrived through the encirclement, Sun Xianzu had already jumped on another fast horse and fled.
When they saw the defeat of the officers and soldiers, they were full of spirit, and then they covered up and killed, chasing the fleeing officers and soldiers everywhere on the battlefield and slashing and killing, and the defeat was not because the army had no combat strength, but because the army had no fighting spirit and no one was willing to turn back and fight again.
The officers and soldiers saw that the two commanders fled first, and the big array immediately collapsed, even if there were reinforcements sent by Sun Chuanting who fought hard, but they could not stand the army's morale had been dispersed, and the officers and soldiers who were originally in charge of the shield had completely lost their ability to resist at this moment, like a flock of sheep scattered by a tiger, running and fleeing all over the mountains, fighting and trampling on each other, and countless dead.
It turned out that some of the infantry who were still resisting were rushed down and trampled by the fleeing cavalry, and suddenly there was a great deal of mourning all over the field, and the infantry cursed angrily, and some of them cut the legs of the cavalry in anger, or directly stabbed the fleeing cavalry off their horses. After all, the two legs of the infantry could not escape the four-legged cavalry, they were killed by the invading army, and some of them could not escape, and they heard the legends of the people who had fought against the Cao and He Zhu camps and the Huben battalion, and the invading army did not kill prisoners, so they disarmed and surrendered, and were captured alive by the invading army.
Li Zicheng then covered up three or four miles of road, and did not let his men and horses chase too far, he ordered Mingjin to collect the troops, at this time the results of Xiaozhai training appeared, and the men and horses who were chasing and killing the officers and soldiers heard Mingjin and returned to the camp one after another.
He ordered Liu Zongmin and several other generals to come to the front, and let them take their men and horses to camp on the dirt mountain in front of them to rest and reorganize the team. He was worried that Liu Zongmin, the general of the general of the general guard, had a fiery temper and often killed prisoners, especially a partial general named Li You under Liu Zongmin, who was a guy who killed people without blinking. Therefore, he wanted to leave Gao Yigong behind to deal with these captured captives.
However, the situation was unforgiving, and the field camp after the break sent people to report the emergency military situation, saying that the situation of the rear team was very urgent, which made Li Zicheng unable to leave Gao Yigong, the chief general of the Chinese army. He hesitated slightly, and then said to Zong Min: "Jie Xuan, you have captured hundreds of prisoners of the official army today, what are you going to do?"
"How can there be idlers to take care of them now!" Liu Zongmin said disdainfully, "I think, it's better to clean them up." ”
"You have this temper again!" Li Zicheng stared at him with reproachful eyes: "Killing prisoners is ominous, do you understand, according to the previous practice, anyone who is captured, whether it is a soldier or an official, should not be easily harmed." ”
Liu Zongmin didn't think about it, and replied to himself, "Zicheng, haven't you seen that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting will join forces? Not to mention that we are short of manpower, and the grain and grass are almost exhausted, how can we draw someone to take care of them!"
Li Zicheng didn't say anything after hearing this, he looked up at the group of captives, and remembered the preferential treatment of the captives that his nephew Li Guo had persuaded him, and he shook his head in disappointment.
