Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 816 Chasing the North

In order to completely crush the rebels, almost all the officers and soldiers who could be sent forward were sent forward, leaving only three to five hundred cavalry resting around Li Zhongzhen.

After several consecutive days of galloping support and hard fighting, many cavalry mounts were already showing signs of fatigue.

"Cavalry attack!" Zhang Shun knew that the time had come to decide the final victory.

What is the war about?

Whoever can persist has all the chips in the opponent's hands on the table, but he can take out the last chip and throw it at him.

Zhang Shun persisted for so long and finally got his chance.

Nearly three thousand cavalrymen were hidden in the hollow phalanxes of He Renlong and Bai Guangen respectively, recharging their strength just for this moment.

Zhang Shun gave an order, and the two square formations on the left and right opened the "doors" from behind the formations like old hens laying eggs, allowing the cavalry hidden in the formations to file out.

"Not good!" Zhu Dadian, the Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, who was standing on the city to watch the battle, was shocked when he saw all the rebel cavalry coming out.

He quickly ordered his soldiers to wave the flag desperately to signal the Liaodong cavalry outside the city.

But is it too late? Zhu Dadian originally looked up the city and saw two dense phalanxes deployed under the city. He thought the thieves didn't know the soldiers, but they were just two solid phalanxes.

It had been thought that in order to maintain their horse power, the rebels all led their horses on foot, looking no different from ordinary soldiers from a distance.

Nazu Kuan and Li Chongzhen, as elites in Jiliao, looked down upon the inland soldiers.

Even to the governor Zhu Dadian, he only obeyed the orders openly, but privately he still believed that "to destroy the bandits, who else but me".

Since they came to Weichuan for support, they have almost never taken the initiative to contact or cooperate with the city.

Now the city was warning with flags. It took a while before the soldiers discovered it and reported to Li Chongzhen who was commanding the battle.

Li Chongzhen quickly looked around and saw two large cavalry groups emerging from the left and right directions of the rebel formation.

Just like two wings, they slowly spread out.

Even more powerful than a tiger, Li Zhongzhen somehow remembered an idiom.

He trembled and shouted angrily: "Quick, quick, stop them. All the idle cavalry, get up here!"

"General, your mount is tired and can't fight!" Before he could catch his breath, the horse was already breathing heavily and dripping with sweat when he sat down.

"If the horse can't do it, just go up to the top! The thief will be attacked by the sword, regardless of work or rest!" Li Zhongzhen pulled out his sword and said with an angry smile, "If there is any violation, don't blame me for being merciless!"

The left and right had no choice but to drive their horses forward to meet him.

Li Chongzhen also led one or two hundred horsemen of his bodyguard to meet the cavalry on one side.

Someone in front of me was yelling. Although his voice was a bit childish, he was very experienced with the spear in his hand.

The man stabbed him from left to right, then hit Li Zhongzhen.

Then Li Chongzhen is not a timid person, what can he say? He also waved his spear and faced them.

The moment the two horses met, Li Zhongzhen stared at the other's hands.

The man's arm shook, and the spear pointed directly at Li Chongzhen's heart.

Li Chongzhen was startled and quickly tried to block him, only to see a blur in front of his eyes and a cold light coming towards his throat.

It's too late, but it's soon. There was only a "stab" sound, and a piece of Li Chongzhen's neck guard was ripped off.

He reached out and touched his neck. There was blood on his hand, but he only missed his artery by a hair.

I heard the man shouting: "'Ma Yaozi' is here, who will die!"

Li Chongzhen was shocked and angry, and responded: "If you dare, you thief, come and die!"

Then he patted his horse and turned around to fight Li Fuchen, the "horse kite".

Although Li Chongzhen's men and horses are few, they are all elites who have rested for a long time, and they are not at a disadvantage for a while.

The officers and soldiers on the other side were not so lucky.

Due to the fatigue of the war horses, after the two horses of the rebel army crossed each other, they were unable to get rid of the rebel cavalry.

The rebel cavalry was actually behind them, and they were slowly killing him like they were chasing a duck.

The person leading the army on this side is He Jin, the "King of Zuo Jin".

While he personally led the troops to chase down the officers and soldiers who could not keep the distance, he also detached a group of troops to attack the back of the officers and soldiers who were entangled with the rebels.

How could the officers and soldiers who were fighting in the shaky formation of the rebel army imagine that the rebel army had already circled behind them?

Suddenly attacked, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but be in chaos. Some people even thought that the officers and soldiers had been surrounded, started shouting, turned around and ran away.

Nazu Kuan and his bodyguards were fighting happily when he suddenly saw the officers and soldiers around him in chaos. He couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Zhi Niang, where are you going? You escaped in the middle of the battle, and we will kill you without mercy!"

He slashed two deserters to death with his sword and shouted loudly, trying to save the situation of the officers and soldiers.

He Jin chased for a while, and when he saw that the defeated cavalry was far away, he turned his horse around and happened to hear Zu Kuan's voice.

He remembered the methods Zhang Shun had described before, and he couldn't help but shout loudly: "The officers and soldiers are defeated, the officers and soldiers are defeated!" while personally leading his cavalry to attack the backs of the officers and soldiers.

Zu Kuan turned around to fight, but the officers and soldiers on the left and right only said that Zu Kuan was leaving. They were afraid of being abandoned, so they turned around and ran away.

It didn't matter if he ran away, he immediately sold Zu Kuan and more than a hundred soldiers.

Poor Zu Kuan, who had risen from a servant to a general, Tu Hu Nai He, watched helplessly as his soldiers were like exquisite sand sculptures, shattered on the ground and could not be put back together.

If there is one, there will be two, and the rout of the soldiers is like the spread of a terrible plague, which is quickly broadcast to the entire audience.

Morale dropped instantly, soldiers' confidence collapsed instantly, and a complete collapse followed.

They were cavalry, and they had horses under them, so they thought they could still walk away if they couldn't beat them.

It turned out that they were wrong. As soon as the officers and soldiers retreated, all the rebel cavalry stuck to them.

As long as you dare to run away, I will chase you!

"Ma Yao Zi" Li Fuchen and "Zuo Jin King" He Jin seemed to be going crazy and followed closely behind.

It's over, it's all over! A thought lingered in the minds of Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen.

Although the officers and soldiers were also cavalry, their mounts were already unable to run fast. How could they compare with the new force of the rebels?

They whipped their sitting mounts desperately, faster, faster!

Perhaps none of them thought that if Zu Kuan and Li Chongzhen led their personal guards to stop them for a while, more people might be able to escape.

Poor frontier soldiers are "good at walking" and have already formed the bad habit of running away quickly when the war is unfavorable.

Those who harm others will eventually harm themselves, and those who deceive others will always be silent!

As soon as the officers and soldiers retreated, Zhang Shun knew that they would not be able to stop.

Win! Zhang Shun couldn't help but loudly ordered: "The cavalry must be ordered to eliminate all enemies until the officers and soldiers return to the city and camp!"

The defeated officers and soldiers were drawn into small and large teams due to differences in horsepower.

When each team was overtaken by the rebel cavalry, they were hacked and killed, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

He Jin and Li Fuchen chased for thirty or forty miles. It was getting darker and they saw countless dead horse corpses along the way.

He Jin couldn't help but lamented: "What a good horse, what a pity!"

"What's a pity? If the old ones don't go and the new ones don't come in, either the officers and soldiers' horses will die, or our people will die. Which one is more cost-effective?" Li Fuchen said with a smile.
