Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"Okay, you go!"

The most elite one thousand cavalry in Xiying are under the control of Zhang Kewang, and Zhang Dingguo also has a few hundred cavalry, adding up to a strategic mobile force of more than two thousand cavalry.

In addition to the hundreds of fierce and unusual cavalry around Zhang Xianzhong, the most powerful cavalry force in the West Camp is in the hands of these two adopted sons.

After getting permission, Zhang Dingguo ordered people to unfurl the flag and gather all the cavalry in one place.

Under the valley and before the entrance to the valley, the officers and soldiers had already attacked more and more fiercely. In front of Zhang Dingguo, the chaotic scenes of thousands of troops fighting and swords and swords were as clear as the lines in the palm of his hand. Although the team was assembled, he did not Hastily ordered the attack, but rode on a horse, standing on a high slope, standing still like a mountain.The situation on the battlefield is also more tense, the officers and soldiers are attacking more and more fiercely, the flag is getting closer and closer, and the rain of arrows is constantly passing over the head, dense like locusts, dense forest-like spears and iron spears are constantly Some of the generals of the left battalion, dressed in bright heavy armor with heart guards, began to press forward non-stop, surrounded and guarded by their own soldiers. [

The soldiers around Zhang Dingguo were shot by arrows one after another, and people kept falling down. His own cloak was pierced twice by sharp arrows. His soldiers and generals were worried that he would be hit by arrows, but no one persuaded him to retreat. , the veterans and generals on the battlefield are very obvious, and the retreat of any flag may trigger a chain reaction and lead to unexpected consequences.

At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong's red general flag has been pressing forward in order to gain victory and turnaround on the battlefield. Although the soldiers of the West Camp are under strong pressure, because there are many elite soldiers among the officers and soldiers, their fighting will is not weak , more veterans and better hands means that the officers and soldiers will take advantage of the entire battlefield when they are attacking each other, and they will cause more damage to the soldiers of the West Camp, and the armor of the officers and soldiers is better, which also makes up for the left The disadvantage of Liangyu after the division of troops was that when both sides had the same number of troops and similar combat awareness and command skills, of course the better equipped side had a slight advantage.

"Don't worry, hold on, hold your breath!"

The more critical the moment, the more generals like Zhang Dingguo can hold their breath. He immediately stood on the bank of the river, as stable as Mount Tai, and kept observing the movement direction of the officers and soldiers and the position of the flag. In an instant, he realized that There was an enemy of 2000 people who was out of touch with the surrounding friends and neighbors, and the place where the flag was located was too close to the Xiying side. After realizing it, he made up his mind to tear off the skin on his body. Throw it aside, and then let out a loud roar, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, the dismounted war horse soared into the air with the roar, and led Zhang Dingguo across the gentle slope like lightning, towards the enemy he had set his sights on rushed quickly.

Beside Zhang Dingguo were a dozen partial generals and hundreds of pro-military troops, and then they were arranged in a wide front, lined up in three rows, and Zhang Kewang's cavalry, who rushed forward at an even speed, followed closely behind. More than a thousand cavalry cavalry rushed, like a pouring mountain torrent, violently bursting out with violent power. In front of them were the infantry of the officers and soldiers. Although they resisted desperately and wanted to surround and eat these cavalry, under the command of Zhang Dingguo, the two More than a thousand cavalry moved like arms and fingers, moving from left to right in the opposite formation, beating the enemy's infantry without the slightest temper. As long as a light touch driven by the speed of the cavalry horse, the head of the enemy infantry can often be crushed, or the head can be chopped off. Flying out like a human being, or directly opening a big hole in the chest, this kind of horse-throwing technique requires years of practice, and it is very difficult to master the skills of riding a horse and avoid being injured by the force of the weapon's recoil.

Under the impact of these two thousand cavalry, Zuo Liangyu's right-wing battlefield was on the verge of collapse. Originally, his main force had already reached the bottom of the hillside and began to attack upwards. Although the rebel army occupies a favorable location, the left army has the advantage of armored battle , the veterans are also in the upper hand, and they have already begun to turn the situation around. Zuo Liangyu has no choice but to transfer hundreds of cavalry from his side, and withdraw some elites from the left-wing battlefield to supplement the right-wing hole.

In this way, the advantage brought by the right-wing cavalry was slowly pulled back, and there was a danger of being surrounded by officers and soldiers. Zhang Dingguo did not dare to delay, and began to gather the cavalry, and then returned to the battlefield where he had just set off.

After a short period of fighting just now, Zhang Dingguo's soldiers also lost 500 people. In addition, many people were seriously or slightly injured.But no one flinched or was afraid, and they were still fighting with the officers and soldiers, but the large number of casualties made the situation on the battlefield even more unfavorable. Although they had achieved great results, they killed at least two thousand officers and soldiers. The banners of the officers and generals who were very close also retreated far away and no longer posed a threat, but the officers and soldiers' fighting will was not low and they did not retreat, so a situation of defeat on one side could not be formed.

Zhang Dingguo looked at the regrouped officers and soldiers bitterly, and led his subordinates to the back of the formation to rest.

The military doctors who accompanied the army began to rush up to wash the blood on the bodies of Zhang Dingguo's subordinates, apply the gold wound medicine to stop bleeding, and bandage them with clean cloth strips.

These wounds may slowly heal and heal, or they may fester and become inflamed, taking away a brave and strong warrior.

Zhang Dingguo rode his horse and rode all the way to the red flag of the Chinese army.

"Father!" he yelled from afar.

"Good boy, good boy!" Zhang Xianzhong raised his beard and laughed loudly, and when Zhang Dingguo came over, he praised him: "The beating just now was really not bad, I look seven times as energetic as I am."

He added: "It's a bit like Jiexuan. There are dozens of rebels, and Jiexuan is one of them. Liu Fangliang is not bad with cavalry. Dingguo, you have a good look now, and you will be better than us in the future." Both are strong."

"But no matter how sudden it was, it didn't disrupt the formation of Zuoying."

"No hurry, what's the hurry."

On the battlefield in front of you, people are falling all the time, blood is flowing between the withered grass and the soil, and there are dazzling large pieces of red everywhere. On the left side of the battlefield, that is, the left wing of Zhang Xianzhong's right wing officers and soldiers is facing the river. More and more soldiers were killed in the river.

The place where Zhang Xianzhong is located is on a relatively high terrain. From his perspective, people and horses are in groups, one group in the east and one group in the west. Under the guidance of the general flag, countless people are fighting and taking the lives of each other. War horses are also in groups, galloping back and forth on the battlefield, causing clouds of smoke and dust to rise. [

The fighting methods on both sides are actually similar, with large regiments of infantry on the periphery, probing, attacking, using bows and arrows to attack from a distance, and occasionally using sharp pawns to make a surprise attack, trying to disrupt the opponent's position and surround the opponent's small troops.

A large number of Xiying soldiers wrap their heads with red scarves, hold spears, iron guns, or large swords with tattooed eyebrows in their hands, and a few wear cotton armor, and brocade armor, less iron armor, and hemp shoes and cloth shoes on their feet. He rarely wears boots.

Officers and soldiers mostly used folded towels or hats, a large number of red fat jackets, a small number of people wore leather armor or cotton armor, and some iron armor. Most of the weapons in their hands were spears with wooden handles and iron spears. The sword soldiers are elite, and they are used by generals at all levels as commandos.

The bows and arrows kept ringing, and many archers had already shot more than ten arrows. At least four to five thousand people on both sides were shooting arrows non-stop. That is to say, at least tens of thousands of feather arrows fell on this small battlefield. Looking from a high place, it seems that the ground is full of reed flowers, planted everywhere. Many soldiers who died in battle have fallen layer after layer, and they are planted like hedgehogs.

"Father, if we continue to fight like this, we will lose a lot."

At least 3000 people were killed in the Western Camp, and there were about [-] or [-] people who were slightly or seriously injured. If this rate of battle damage increases, the morale of the army will be unstable, and the casualties of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side may be more severe. , The soldiers of Zuoying in Huguang Town also showed a perfect state.

Of course, the West Camp has never really seen a real strong army. The cavalry in the Left Camp have not been able to gather, and they have not found any loopholes in the West Camp to carry out surprise attacks. For firearms, there is no real selection of strikers, and the possession rate of armor is very low. If these are replaced by the real Xuanda or Liaozhen elites, Xiying may have been defeated long ago.

Of course, if the West Camp was replaced with an elite frontier army, the Zuo Camp would have already fled miserably.

To be fair, the two second-rate troops fought a second-rate textbook offensive and defensive battle under first-rate strategic planning.

Seeing Zhang Dingguo with an anxious face, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help laughing out loud. He smiled at his beloved adoptive son: "Cao Ying has already attacked this way from the south side, and Zuo Ying and Xun Yang left here. The soldiers and horses will definitely be pierced. Cao Ying and Guo Tianxing add up to 8 people, and there are more than 3 soldiers. How can Xunyang's soldiers and horses be enough to fight? In half an hour at most, Cao Ying's soldiers and horses will be the pioneers. If you call here, Lao Zuo will be impatient. Also, Zicheng should act quickly!"

……

When the sound of fighting on the battlefield sounded, even though there were still a few mountains and the distance was still seven or eight miles away, the blood of the soldiers who broke into the camp was boiling, and the horses kept pawing the ground with their hooves. snorting... Like experienced soldiers, they also knew that it was time to go to the battlefield.

This time Li Zicheng dispatched almost all the main force to break into the camp. The location was chosen at the rear of the Zuo Army, which was nearly ten miles away from Zhang Xianzhong's main battlefield. If the Zuo Army was compared to a long snake, Zhang Xianzhong was stuck now. The head of the snake, Luo Rucai and Hui Dengxiang want to hit the snake's left body, Li Zicheng's task is to hit the snake's tail!
