Please ask me to be the emperor

Since "Zijinliang" was very grateful for Zhang Shun's support this time, he specially arranged Zhang Shun on the hillside on the right; and Xing Honglang was arranged on the hillside on the left. It seems that there is not much difference between the deployment of troops on the left and right sides. In fact, because most people are right-handed, it is more convenient to attack the opponent from the right side.

Especially cavalry archers usually hold a bow in their left hand and nock an arrow in their right hand, which makes it easier to shoot forward and to the left, but cannot shoot to the right. People who can shoot left and right are basically people with superb martial arts skills, and can even be recorded in history books for this.

For example, Xiong Tingbi, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, was recorded in later history books as "having the courage to know soldiers and being good at shooting left and right." Since Zhang Shun was born, he has only seen his own mother-in-law, Hong Niangzi, ejaculate left and right in his two lifetimes. In addition, among the many masters under his command, none of them can practice this kind of shooting. From this point alone, we know how much advantage the right side has over the left side.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Shun and the others heard bursts of drumming noise. Zhang Shun pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and there were actually sounds of crying and wailing. At this time, Zhang Shun looked from a distance and saw dozens of riders running over first.

When the dozens of riders came closer, they saw that it was the "Nine Dragons" and others who were in a panic. The "Nine Dragons" also carried two arrows on his back, but judging from the way he was jumping around, it must have been that the arrows did not penetrate deeply and were blocked by the armor.

After the "Nine Dragons" and others ran over, Zhang Shun turned around and saw the rebels fleeing desperately from a distance. They were like herds of sheep being driven down, several of them being chopped down from time to time by the cavalry nearby, and this was within Zhang Shun's sight. In places blocked by other personnel, I don't know how many people were killed by the government cavalry on the spot. It was extremely miserable. One by one, with their hoarse throats, they cried out in despair and tried to escape!

Zhang Shun stood on the mountain and let out a long breath, secretly glad that the people being hunted were not him and his subordinates.

The cavalry chasing the rebels were a little hesitant when they saw the terrain sandwiched between two mountains in front of them. However, when they saw the rebels quickly running between the two mountains, they did not want to give up such a great achievement.

The initial feeling of hesitation turned into a fluke. They looked at the "rogue bandits" who were defeated so miserably, and they despised their fighting power even more. These people are nothing more than walking around with two feet of silver. The Ming army counted merit by their heads, and each head was worth several taels of silver. The officers and soldiers simply did not want to give up the opportunity to make a fortune. So, they kept doing nothing and their greed drove them to catch up again.

Zhang Shun and others hid behind the top of the mountain, just out of sight of the officers and soldiers. When they saw the officers and soldiers chasing after them again, they breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the cooked duck would fly away and it would be difficult to deal with this group of officers and soldiers later.

The two thousand cavalrymen had just caught up quickly, and after cutting down a few stragglers, they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw nothing happened, and were about to rush out of this narrow terrain. As a result, only a cannon shot was heard, and suddenly there was a burst of fighting from the left and right.

When the officers and soldiers looked up, they saw the dark cavalry on both sides rushing over at once. It turned out that this "Purple Gold Liang" was afraid that the officers and soldiers' cavalry would be too fast and they would lose the opportunity. He hid his more than a thousand elite cavalry on the left and right sides. When he saw the rebels rushing over, he released the cavalry and blocked the way forward for the officers and soldiers. The remaining infantry will follow up in time and prepare to completely block the exit of the valley.

As soon as this group of officers and soldiers saw that they were in an ambush, they quickly reined in their horses and retreated, not wanting to tangle with the "Purple Gold Liang" troops. However, where is the time? Since they entered the encirclement, Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang sneaked around from behind the mountain, preparing to cut off their retreat.

When the "Purple Gold Liang" tribe heard the sound of fighting, Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang quickly sent out their cavalry to cut off their return.

Due to the last battle with the officers and soldiers scouts, Chen Changzhen was too tired to go into battle. This time Zhang Shun simply handed over Chen Changzhen's 200 cavalry to Liu Cheng, and asked him to take 700 cavalry to directly cut off the officers and soldiers' retreat.

Following Liu Cheng, Zhang Sanbai and Wei Congyi's 400 infantrymen rushed forward. It turned out that in the last battle of Lingchuan, these two men performed well and cooperated well. They also had a fierce fighting spirit, which was suitable for interception. Zhang took the opportunity to let them go out to practice their skills.

Zhang Shun, on the other hand, led 200 cavalry guards, 400 troops from Jiang He and Li Jiyu, and more than 100 troops from Li Shi'an to hold down the formation on the hillside. As for Xu Ziyuan's hundreds of people, Li Sanniang, Zhang Shenyan and others, they hid in safe places elsewhere and waited for the battle to end.

"Zijin Liang", Zhang Shun, Xing Honglang and others, with this plan, they will definitely be able to capture them, and one battle will be enough to eliminate more than two thousand people. Unexpectedly, once the two sides started fighting, it was not at all what they imagined.

The more than a thousand cavalrymen under the command of "Zijinliang" were considered elite and occupied favorable terrain. They rushed up and fought with these border riders, only to find that they could not take advantage at all. Fortunately, these people were originally cavalrymen from the Yansui border army and guard station, and they knew the methods of both sides quite well.

The subordinates of "Purple Gold Liang" knew that they had "caught a big fish" that would be difficult to eat in one breath, so they were not too worried. After only struggling for a while, the "Purple Gold Liang" infantry caught up. Three to four thousand infantrymen blocked the intersection. Unless these two thousand officers and soldiers had wings, it would be difficult to fly through!

But Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang suffered a lot. Liu Cheng and his men were okay. They were also following the "Eight King Kong"'s Yansui Jingqi, and they were not afraid of the government cavalry of the same origin. However, the level of Song Tongyin's personal guards who surrendered was quite poor. When they were hedging against the opponent, they were completely at a disadvantage.

Zhang Shun's side was a little better, and the officers and soldiers who turned around and fled were blocked. Although Xing Honglang was also from a border area, during the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers, he lost a lot of the cavalry around him. He only had more than 300 cavalry under his command, and the rest were infantry.

This time Xing Honglang personally led more than 300 cavalry to block the road, but in the end there were only a few officers and soldiers from the other side. An accident caused many officers and soldiers to rush out. Fortunately, the infantrymen under Zhang Sanbai, Wei Congyi and Xing Honglang arrived in time and barely blocked the intersection.

At this time, there were four to five hundred government cavalry who escaped. After they escaped, they not only did not leave, but wandered behind the rebels, so that the rebels had to turn around and be wary of the attack from this group of cavalry.

The rebel force that surrounded the officers and soldiers in the valley was quite reluctant. If they were really charged by this group of cavalry, it is impossible to say that the main force of Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang would be surrounded and killed by the opponent.

The situation was so urgent that Xing Honglang personally went into battle to surround the officers and soldiers in the valley. Zhang Shun had no choice but to grit his teeth and personally lead his cavalry and Jiang He and Li Jiyu troops to support him.

Since Zhang Shun raised his army, he has experienced a lot of wars, big and small, and he is not a rookie who has never been on the battlefield. However, this is the first time he has gone into battle in person and fought for his life like this. However, now that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into battle.
