Chapter 823 The End of Fu Zonglong (Part 2)

Bai Guangen was also a strong soldier. After receiving Zhang Shun's order, he personally led five hundred elite troops to charge forward.

Due to the obstruction of the rebel artillery and the entanglement between He Renlong and others and Zu Kuan's cavalry, he easily led his troops to charge forward.

At this time, Zu Kuan's cavalry could no longer withstand the fighting of He Renlong's infantry, so he turned around to lead his cavalry away.

He Renlong, nicknamed "Crazy He", has already become jealous, so how can he be willing to comply?

He then followed behind the war horse and followed him all the way. Bai Guangen, who led his troops to respond, happened to fill the gap caused by He Renlong's attack.

At this time, the officers and soldiers guarding the camp on the left and right braved the artillery fire of the rebels and came over, but they were blocked by Bai Guangen.

But He Renlong's attack surprised Fu Zonglong and Zu Kuan.

Originally, the camp for officers and soldiers was quite small, so galloping horses was a last resort. He Renlong followed the officers and cavalry, which just compressed the space for the cavalry to gallop and charge. As a result, Zu Kuan and his three hundred cavalry were unable to distance themselves and launched another charge.

When Zu Kuan saw that something was not going well, he quickly ordered: "Dismount and form a formation!" Then there was another burst of jabbering, but the order was in Mongolian.

It turns out that Zu Kuan was originally a servant of Zu Dashou, and his cavalry was more or less composed of Yiding as the backbone.

Since Jiajing, armaments were depleted and the servant system became prevalent in the army. The frontier army mostly maintained servants and barbarians as its backbone.

Among them, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou are typical examples. They both have Yiding Tuqi under their command.

Since the first year of Chongzhen, Lin Dan Khan began his western expedition in order to avoid the attack of Hou Jin.

While the Mongols were killing each other, they were also attacked by the Hou Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. For a time, the grassland people in the north were in dire straits. Approximately more than 100,000 Mongolians surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and were placed near Jinzhou by the imperial court.

Many of these herdsmen were skilled in bows and horses, and were recruited and demoted as "Yiding" by the border army generals to serve as the core force for suppressing mutinies and peasant armies.

These Yiding have no personal martial arts skills, but they have wild tempers. Coupled with the language barrier, they are quite difficult to command.

Therefore, the imperial court could only equip "Mongolian-Chinese bilingual talents" to reluctantly use them.

Zu Kuan was a servant of Zu Dashou and was cultivated by Zu Dashou. He happened to be able to command this mixed cavalry of Yi and Han people.

In addition to being controlled by the imperial court, he actually also wanted to control the cavalry for his ancestor Dashou.

The two sides fought hard for a long time, and Zu Kuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the generals under Mou Wenshou and Fu Zonglong arriving.

The Liaodong Iron Cavalry under his command was one of the assets of his ancestral family. If the losses were too large, he would make a "losing money" deal.

In the previous battle, five to six hundred cavalry were lost, and more than a thousand war horses were lost. It was an unprecedented defeat.

If the loss is too great this time, I am afraid that the strength of the ancestor family will also be affected to a certain extent.

This war is like doing business. You must be able to win the battle and show your value in order to obtain food and salary from the court; you must also be cautious to avoid excessive losses and being dismissed by the court.

Now that the cavalry under his command has lost one or two levels, it is already worthy of the Ming Dynasty's food and salary, and it is not appropriate to suffer too many losses.

Zu Kuan and other cavalry retreated for a moment, and the infantry from Mou Wenshou and Fu Zong's Longbiao Battalion came forward.

At this time, the two sides were entangled, and the artillery and muskets had lost their use. They could only fight to the end with their blood.

As a sharp knife inserted into the enemy camp, He Renlong was bombarded by artillery by officers and soldiers, charged by cavalry, and after repeated fierce battles, his morale almost reached the limit.

He Renlong took a breath and fought again with a knife. He quickly grabbed him and said, "King Shun has ordered us to retreat and rest before fighting!"

Only then did He Renlong come to his senses. He turned around and saw a figure like an iron tower striding towards him.

It was none other than Wukong wearing double armor.

Wukong was nine feet tall, almost over two meters tall. In addition, he was very fat and had natural powers. He was like a god charging into battle.

Seeing him He Renlong calmed down. Although he, "Crazy He", was somewhat capable when he went "crazy", compared with "Monkey King", there was a huge difference between man and nature!

He is heaven and he is human!

Without Zhang Shun's special care, not to mention He Renlong, even the other generals might not be able to take advantage of Wukong's success.

Now that He Renlong has taken the credit, he no longer strives for credit and withdraws honestly.

When Wukong saw that there was no one of his own in front of him, he couldn't help shouting and rushed forward with his iron rod.

This guy is wearing double armor, and if the officers and soldiers' swords and guns hit him, he can't break through the defense at all.

He was like a giant beast, charging rampantly, with no enemy at his disposal.

The two sides fought from noon until late at night, and both sides were exhausted.

Fu Zonglong couldn't help but look happy. If both sides stopped fighting, the rebels would have to withdraw from the gap that had been breached.

He has already figured out a countermeasure. If the rebels follow the same pattern tomorrow and attack the camp with artillery, he will definitely be able to hold off the enemy outside the camp.

"King Shun!" Niu Jinxing yawned, suppressing his sleepiness and suggested, "We can't do it today. The soldiers are tired and hungry and thirsty. Please withdraw your troops and fight again tomorrow."

Due to the fierce fighting and rapid marching in the past few days, Zhang Shun was actually physically and mentally exhausted and achy all over.

I am really unwilling to do so. If we fight again tomorrow, we will give up all the results achieved today.

I happened to see He Renlong shouting and drinking with his soldiers not far ahead. Zhang Shun couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Seeing that He Renlong has already rested, let him lead the men to charge again." Wave!”

He Renlong didn't know that he was being targeted by Zhang Shun. He had just finished his meal and was about to return to the camp to rest. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun's messenger ran away and ordered: "The military order of King Shun has been passed down. He Renlong's troops are resting as usual. Take over for Wukong and continue charging into the battle!"

"No, we are not allowed to sleep!" Nowadays, the high-intensity battle almost made He Renlong's men, who mainly surrendered their troops, almost blow up the camp on the spot.

"This...what does this general mean?" He Renlong felt that he was not a madman, but King Shun was.

"Anyone who rushes into battle tonight, regardless of victory or defeat, will be rewarded five taels of silver, plus a pound of horse meat and a jug of wine!" the messenger continued.

"Ah? Then what are we waiting for?" He Renlong's subordinates all put on their armor and armed themselves with weapons. "It doesn't matter if you don't sleep all night. They are all pure men, and they are not fools. We can still hold on!"

"I've said all the nice things to say to you, the straight bitch, but I have nothing to say!" He Renlong cursed a few words, put on his armor, and led the crowd to rush towards the officers and soldiers' camp again.

The night was not good that night. Although both sides fought at night, Zhang Shun could not tell the truth.

I could only hear the sounds of fighting from both sides coming and going, and I don't know how long it lasted.

At some point, Zhang Shun suddenly showed joy and said, "We won!"

"What?" Niu Jinxing was taking a nap in front of him and didn't hear what Zhang Shun said clearly.

"I said we won!" Zhang Shun shouted loudly.

"Ah? Victory?" Niu Jinxing was stunned, turned around and saw clusters of torches in the officers and soldiers camp suddenly moving, like ants in an ant nest that had been ripped open, fleeing in all directions.
