Chapter 187 Gao Yihuan Plans to Take Fancheng
Those who know the current affairs are heroes. General Zhang Can saw that the bandits were powerful, and there were enemy soldiers all over the mountains and plains. He was so frightened that he pulled the rein and ran away.

Left behind by him, Zuo Menggeng looked at Zhang Shenjiang's back and yelled, "Zhang Yingxiang, you bastard, I will dismiss you when I go back~"

However, Zhang Yingxiang kept fighting, and his speed was even faster.

The [-] Zuo soldiers outside the town were terrified when they saw tens of thousands of bandit soldiers running into them. When they saw General Zhang Shen and Zuo Menggeng galloping past them, they immediately shouted and ran back together. , The five thousand left troops instantly became a mess.

Gao Yihuan led the army and then concealed the killing. Tens of thousands of horses followed the left army and ran wildly behind the left army like an avalanche.

Gao Yihuan walked all the way, and tens of thousands of people came to vote one after another. These poor people were the most excited at this time, brandishing hoes one by one, charging forward angrily.

Zuo Jun, who ran behind, was overtaken by them, and was immediately beaten to death by the angry people with a hoe. His body was beaten into a puddle of flesh, which was extremely miserable.

Although Gao Yihuan has many war horses, but the cavalry who can ride and fight, there is only one personal guard. Hei Xuanfeng took the lead and led the cavalry into the formation of the left army. He was like a wolf into a flock of chickens, and the left army was frightened. They rushed forward, and there was no resistance at all.

Gao Yihuan rode his horse and marched slowly together with Dazhuqi. Thousands of horses and horses still followed behind him. He did not encircle the fleeing left army, but let the cavalry keep rushing forward, stopping, and then moving forward like chasing ducks. Suddenly, the left army was driven to the direction of Fancheng.

"General, in another thirty miles, it will be Fancheng." Jin Shenghuan was familiar with the surrounding terrain and reminded Gao Yihuan.

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan waved his hands and ordered, "Zhao Zhuzi, Wu Shizhao, each of you lead a team to surround you from left to right, but don't surround them to death, let a few go out to report."

The two generals agreed, and then each led 1000 men and galloped out.

From left and right, they bypassed the fleeing left army, and in a short while galloped to the front of the rout.

At this time, the soldiers dismounted one after another, occupying a place on both sides of the official road, and quickly formed a formation.

Gao Yihuan obtained more than 6000 war horses, and almost everyone in the elite soldiers had horses. However, the function of the horses at this time was not to ride and charge, but more to replace them. They were used for the rapid maneuvering of the infantry, similar to dragon rides.

Zhang Yingxiang took the lead and ran in the front. Just when he thought he was going to escape, when he looked up, two bandit soldiers had circled in front of him, and he was shocked out of his wits.

At this time, the two men and horses rushed to the front of the rout and lined up to wait.Wu Shizhao drew out his saber, and immediately shouted, "Arrange in front of the Firearms Bureau!"

The firearms team in red armor immediately formed a horizontal formation in front of the killer team in black armor. On the other side, Zhao Zhuzi shouted at the same time, "Check the matchlock! Light it up!"

Gao Jun's firearms player immediately took out the fire sickle, lit the matchlock, blew out the torch, fixed the matchlock, and then raised the firecrackers one after another.

While Zhang Yingxiang and Zuo Menggeng were running, they both noticed the bandit soldiers who suddenly blocked their way. They saw a row of black firecrackers aimed at them, and their faces turned pale instantly, with sweat dripping from their foreheads.

At this time, Zuo Menggeng felt timid, and his horse slowed down. Although Zhang Yingxiang was the first to run, he was actually very courageous.

On the issue of running, Zhang Shen will be extremely resolute and decisive, and will never be sloppy in the slightest.

He knew that being surrounded meant death, so instead of slowing down the horse's speed, he lashed the horse's buttocks with a whip, gritted his teeth, speeded up with a ferocious face, and rushed towards the gap between Zhao Zhuzi and Wu Shizhao's men and horses.

The left army fleeing in front split into two in an instant, like a disjointed train, most people slowed down timidly, only nearly a hundred people followed Zhang Yingxiang, and continued to rush forward like the front of a car, reaching thirty paces in the blink of an eye outside.

"Fire the gun!" Wu Shizhao swung his saber and shouted loudly.

The left army intended to rush out from the gap between the two troops, not to attack the line of the musketeers. This made the musketeers calmly raise their guns to aim, and then pulled the trigger forcefully.

On the fronts on both sides of the official road, there was a continuous explosion of "bang bang bang", and a large puff of white smoke was ejected from the muzzle and the medicine room at the same time.

The continuous blunderbuss startled the horses neighing, and the forward left army immediately knocked down dozens of people, and the lead bullets easily tore through their armor, forming shocking wounds one after another.

The attacking left army split again in an instant. Only two or three cavalry rushed out from the gap at the moment when the firearms team alternated. Zuo Menggeng bumped into each other with astonished face.

Zhang Yingxiang was shot in the arm and rushed out from the gap. When he looked back, there were corpses and fleeing figures behind him.

At this moment, there were only two cavalrymen around him, he didn't see Zuo Menggeng's figure, so he quickly reined in his horse, seeing Zuo Menggeng was surrounded, he couldn't help crying.

The Major General is still far behind the Marshal. If he had half the skills of the Marshal, he wouldn't be trapped.

Now that Zuo Menggeng is surrounded inside, it can be regarded as harming him.

Zhang Yingxiang looked confused, rushing back to rescue him was impossible, but it didn't feel like going away like this.

At this time, a general in the formation of the Ming army suddenly rushed out and came straight for him. In a panic, Zhang Yingxiang had an idea, and when he turned around, he yelled, "Young general, hurry up, I will send troops to rescue you immediately~"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yingxiang drew his horse and galloped away without looking back, leaving Zuo Menggeng surrounded by the Shun army.

In Fancheng, the three cavalry rushed into the city in a hurry, and the guard Lu Guangzu hurried down, "Old Zhang, what's going on?"

Zhang Yingxiang said urgently: "It's bad luck, I went out of the city and bumped into the vanguard of the robbers, the major general was surrounded, I will fight to the death to break out of the siege, and report to the commander in chief."

Lu Guangzu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Then you go across the river!"

Zhang Yingxiang didn't say much, just cupped his hands and galloped across the river from the pontoon bridge.

Lu Guangzu waited for him to leave, his face was full of seriousness, and he turned around and ordered: "Quickly, call all the brothers over."

In Xiangyang City, inside Zuo Liangyu's commander-in-chief's mansion, Zhang Yingxiang stood and reported to Zuo Liangyu, but after Zuo Liangyu had heard it, without saying a word, he immediately gave Zhang Yingxiang a slap in the face, making him stagger with stares in his eyes.

"How dare you leave my son behind and run back, you have such a guts!" Zuo Liangyu yelled angrily, and when he saw Zhang Yingxiang still standing, he immediately became angry again, "What are you doing standing there, why don't you let Lu Guangzu go, Go to the rescue."

Zhang Yingxiang hurriedly ran out of the lobby, then galloped back to Fancheng.

At this time Zuo Liangyu couldn't care less about the current situation, he had to get Zuo Menggeng out first.

"Come on, gather your troops and horses, and get ready to cross the river!" Zuo Liangyu picked up the precious sword on the knife rest, and shouted loudly to the outside of the hall.
