Chapter 193 Frontier Army (True Four)
Since "Zijinliang" was very grateful for Zhang Shun's support this time, he specially arranged Zhang Shun on the right side of the hillside; and Xing Honglang was placed on the left side of the hillside.It seems that there is not much difference in the deployment of soldiers 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.

Cavalry archers, in particular, generally hold a bow in their left hand and hold an arrow in their right hand, which is convenient for shooting to the front and left, but they cannot shoot to the right.Those who can shoot left and right are basically those with superb martial arts skills, and they can even be recorded in history books because of this.

For example, Xiong Tingbi, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, is recorded in later history books as "courageous and knowledgeable, good at shooting left and right".Since Zhang Shun was born, in his two lifetimes combined, he has seen his own wife, Hong Niangzi, who can shoot left and right.In addition, among so many masters under his command, none of them can practice such shooting skills.From this point of view alone, we know how much the right side has an advantage over the left side.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Shun and the others heard a burst of drumming noise.Zhang Shun pricked up his ears to listen carefully, but it was all crying and wailing.At this time, Zhang Shun looked from a distance, but saw dozens of riders running over first.

When those dozens of riders came closer and took a look, it was the panic-stricken "Nine Dragons" and others.The "nine dragons" still carried two arrows on the back, but judging by his lively appearance, it must have been blocked by the armor because they did not penetrate deep.

After the "Nine Dragons" and the others ran over, Zhang Shun turned around and saw the rebels fleeing desperately from afar.They were like a flock of sheep being driven away, several of them were cut down by the cavalry beside them from time to time, and this was within Zhang Shun's sight.In the place covered by other people, I don't know how many people were hacked and killed by the government cavalry on the spot, which was extremely miserable.One by one, with their already hoarse throats, they cried out in despair, trying to escape!
Standing on the mountain, Zhang Shun heaved a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that the person being hunted down was not himself or his subordinates.

Those cavalrymen who were chasing the rebels were a little hesitant when they saw the terrain between the two mountains in front of them.However, when they saw that the rebel army was running between the two mountains, they didn't want to give up such credit.

There was still some hesitation in the mood, but it became a fluke.They looked at the "rogues" who had been defeated so miserably, and despised their combat effectiveness even more.These people are nothing more than two feet of silver for walking. The Ming army counts meritorious service by the head, and each head is a few taels of silver. The officers and soldiers did not want to give up the opportunity to make a fortune.So, without doing anything, greed drove them to catch up again.

Zhang Shun and the 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 up again, they breathed a sigh of relief, for fear 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 cavalry had just caught up quickly, and after cutting down a few straggling rebels, they were relieved to see that there was nothing left and right, and were about to rush out of this narrow terrain.As a result, only one cannon was heard, and suddenly there was a sound of fighting from left to right.

When the officers and soldiers looked up, they saw that the black cavalry on both sides rushed over first.It turned out that this "Zijin Liang" was afraid that the cavalry of the officers and soldiers would be too fast, and he would lose the opportunity.He hid more than a thousand elite cavalry under his command on the left and right sides, and when he saw the rebel army rushing over, he released the cavalry, blocking the way for the officers and soldiers to advance.The remaining infantry, follow up in time, and prepare to completely block the exit of the valley.

Seeing that they were in an ambush, this group of officers and soldiers quickly reined in their horses and withdrew, not wanting to get entangled with the "Zijinliang" department.However, where is it too late?Ever since they entered the encirclement, Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang's two groups sneaked around behind the mountain, preparing to cut off their retreat.

The sounds of fighting from the "Zijin Liang" department sounded, and Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang also quickly dispatched their cavalry to cut off their way back.

Due to the last battle with the scouts of the officers and soldiers, Chen Changliang was too tired to go into battle. This time Zhang Shun simply handed over the [-] cavalry under Chen Changliang's command to Liu Cheng, and asked him to take [-] cavalry to directly cut off the officers and soldiers' retreat.

Then followed Liu Cheng and charged up were Zhang Sanbai and Wei Congyi's [-] pawns.It turned out that in the last battle of Lingchuan, these two performed well, cooperated well, and also had a fierce fighting spirit, which was suitable for interception, so Zhang asked them to fight to practice their skills.

On the other hand, Zhang Shun led two hundred cavalry guards, Jiang He, Li Jiyu with four hundred troops, and Li Shi'an with more than a hundred troops to support the formation on the hillside.As for more than a hundred people from Xu Ziyuan, Li Sanniang, Zhang Shenyan and others, they hid in other safe places and waited for the end of the battle.

"Zijinliang", Zhang Shun, Xing Honglang and others, with this plan in their own right, they must be easily captured, one battle is enough to wipe out these two thousand people.As a result, I never thought that once the two sides fought, it would not be as imagined.

The thousand or so cavalry under the command of "Zijin Liang" are also considered elite, occupying favorable terrain, rushed up to fight with these border riders, and found that their own side could not take advantage of it at all.Fortunately, these people were originally cavalry from the Yansui Frontier Army and Guards, and they knew the methods of both sides quite well.

The subordinates of "Zijinliang" knew that they "caught a big fish" this time and it was difficult to eat in one breath, so they were not very worried.After entanglement for a while, the "Zijinliang" infantry caught up, and three or four thousand infantrymen blocked the intersection. Unless these two thousand officers and soldiers have pierced their wings, it would be difficult to fly over!
But Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang suffered a lot.Then Liu Cheng and his men and horses were okay, they were also following the "Eight King Kong"'s Yansui fine cavalry, and they were not afraid of the official cavalry of the same background.However, those Song Tongyin's personal guards who surrendered were quite inferior, and they were completely at a disadvantage when confronting the opponent.

Zhang Shun's side was better, at least he blocked the officers and soldiers who turned around and fled.Although that Xing Honglang was also from a frontier area, but during the process of being surrounded by officers and soldiers, the cavalry around him were lost and accounted for, and there were only more than [-] cavalry under his command, and the rest were infantry.

This time Xing Honglang personally led more than [-] riders to block the road, but the number of them was actually less than that of the other party's officers and soldiers.An accident caused many officers and soldiers to rush out.Fortunately, the infantry under Zhang Sanbai, Wei Congyi and Xing Honglang arrived in time to barely block the intersection.

At this time, there were four to five hundred government cavalry who escaped. After they escaped for a day, they not only did not leave, but wandered behind the rebel army, so that the rebel army had to turn around and be alert to the flanking attack of this group of cavalry.

Originally, the forces of the rebels who besieged the officers and soldiers in the valley were 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 besieged and killed by the opponent instead.

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, Jiang He, and Li Jiyu's troops to support.

Since Zhang Shun started his army, he has experienced many wars, big and small, so he is not a rookie who has never been on the battlefield.However, it was the first time he had personally fought against others like this.However, now that the arrow is on the string and he has to say something, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and go into battle.
