Chapter 1409 He's not a tiger, he's a wild beast!
Shao Dashun was a valiant general who rose through the ranks to his current position through military merit. He may not have many other skills, but he was absolutely uncompromising when it came to fighting.

As he put away his bow and arrows, he spurred his horse forward, took out his mace, and simultaneously grabbed a javelin with his left hand, throwing it powerfully from ten paces away from the enemy.

The javelin flew swiftly, piercing straight into the chest of a bandit soldier. The tip passed through his chest and then pierced an inch into the rump of his horse, leaving only the butt of the javelin trembling above the bandit's chest...

Although the bandit was still sitting on his horse, his mouth was wide open and his eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets, making his facial expression extremely exaggerated. Blood kept seeping from the corners of his mouth, eyes, and nostrils, making him look even more terrifying.

However, Shao Dashun had no interest in appreciating his own work. At this moment, he only had the belief of killing the bandits in his mind. He spurred his horse and galloped away. Just when he was about to collide with the bandits, he suddenly squeezed his legs together...

As if sensing its master's intention, his warhorse turned its head to the left, thus avoiding the oncoming bandits.

Taking advantage of the moment, Shao Dashun swung his spiked club and smashed it hard at the bandit. First, there was a loud "bang," and then a "crack" was heard. The wooden handle of the bandit's long knife broke instantly.

But the force of the spiked club remained undiminished, slamming down heavily on the bandit's head...

In an instant, brain matter mixed with blood splattered everywhere. The bandit's head was smashed to pieces by Shao Dashun's spiked club, leaving only his neck standing there all alone.

Extremely bizarre...

Terrifying beyond words...

Such a scene should not appear in the human world, and it is probably rare even in the deepest hell!

Shao Dashun had already spurred his horse past, charging toward his next target, when the headless bandit's corpse finally fell from his horse...

Silently, without even a shout, the bandit who had just been yelling and shouting to "kill all the dog soldiers" met his end here.

"kill!"

With a roar, Shao Dashun swung his spiked club once more, smashing it straight at yet another bandit. With a loud "bang," the bandit's iron spear flew out of his hand, and bright red blood flowed from his hands...

Even though the bandit's iron spear had flown out of his hand, his hands remained in the same parrying posture. The only thing that was surprising was that his arms and hands were trembling uncontrollably, for reasons unknown!

But while the bandit's iron spear flew out of his hand, Shao Dashun's wolf-tooth club remained, and the terrifying club continued to smash forward, landing squarely on the bandit's chest.

With a "pfft," the bandit coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood, and with the deadly force, he was thrown from his horse and flew backward, landing with a "thud" on the ground a dozen feet away...

He remained seated until he landed, his hands still holding the gun as before, but he was completely silent and lifeless, leaving only a relatively intact shell on this vast land.

Although he had already killed two bandits in succession, Shao Dashun's fierce momentum did not diminish at all. He was like a vicious wolf charging into a flock of sheep, rampaging and crashing through them. Wherever he went, the bandits were either killed or hurriedly dodged to avoid his attack.

wrong……

Where do wolves get such power?

He was like a tiger descending from the mountain, a tiger that could charge through a pack of wolves—he was a true beast!

One thing was quite strange: Shao Dashun didn't charge straight into the enemy cavalry. Instead, he charged diagonally to the southeast, quickly breaking through the enemy's triangular formation in front of them. As the saying goes, "A train runs fast because of its locomotive!"
With Shao Dashun, a ruthless and indomitable man, leading the charge, the 300 elite cavalrymen who followed were certainly no cowards either.

With a fierce charge, they managed to intercept the oncoming bandit cavalry and force them to turn southeast.

However, Shao Dashun's charge did not stop there. He knew that his enemy was not the bandit cavalry of less than a thousand riders in front of him, but the two large groups of bandits behind him.

But at this moment, he couldn't attend to everything; he could only fight as far as he could!

Having just broken through the bandit group ahead, Shao Dashun shouted again, "Give it your all! Break through the bandits ahead, and then we'll capture Li alive!"

After shouting, he spurred his horse and charged straight at the largest bandit formation behind him...

Zhang Pingwen naturally dared not be negligent, and hurriedly shouted loudly from the other side, "Kill the traitors...kill the traitors!", leading the three hundred cavalrymen to continue their desperate charge.

What remained were the remaining five hundred or so bandit cavalrymen, whose formation had already become scattered...

…………

Shao Dashun's charge came too fast and too suddenly, completely catching the bandits off guard.

Since the rebel army entered Henan, they have been attacking cities all the way. Two high-ranking officials, such as governors, have been killed on the battlefield. Countless generals and deputy generals have been killed. Even Zuo Liangyu, who is known as one of the rare fierce generals of the current court, was defeated in one battle.
It was precisely these two years of success that made many leaders and soldiers in the rebel army proud.

It was precisely this proud mentality that led them to despise the Ming Dynasty's government troops.

They even despised and looked down on the Ming soldiers, believing that as long as they launched an attack, if they charged fiercely, the Ming army would surely collapse without a fight!

But today is so unusual, why is it so different from usual?
Although they charged forward on horseback, they were not prepared for battle, which was the reason for the defeat of the rebel army's cavalry. Ultimately, it was their pride and contempt for the government troops that truly ruined them.

Originally a band of 800 men, the bandits lost more than 300 men in just one simple engagement, which is nearly 40% of their losses. Moreover, their entire formation was broken up and lost its element of surprise.

They were too exhausted to launch another attack, so they scattered and circled back to their own army formation in small groups.

…………

Just as Shao Dashun and Li Shuangxi were fighting, on the other side of He Zhenxiong's garrison, Bai Minghe, a general of the rebel army, led three thousand bandits to launch a surprise attack on the flank of Xuanfu's garrison.

Because Bai Minghe suffered losses at the hands of the Yongyi Army when besieging Wei Zhice's Tengshe Camp at Daguan, he became more cautious this time.

In order to conceal their movements and achieve the desired surprise, he led his cavalry to march slowly at first, so as not to cause a lot of dust and expose their whereabouts.

However, this might prevent the achievement of the strategic objective of launching a surprise attack on the waist of the Yongyi Army's vanguard.

But Bai Minghe didn't think so. He thought to himself that even if he couldn't attack the waist of the wedge formation, wouldn't it be better and more surprising to attack the rear of the wedge formation?

As expected, everything unfolded exactly as Bai Minghe had anticipated. When he led the bandits in their charge, they caught up with the tail end of the Xuanfu Town Garrison...
