please make me king

Chapter 968 Tactical retreat
Liu Zongmin fought hard!
Even the "Breakthrough Camp", which is famous for its large number of cavalry, actually has no more than [-] cavalry under its command.Not to mention that like the three hundred cavalry under Yang Chengzu's command, everyone is armored and armored.

Among his [-] riders, except for more than half with armor, there are actually nearly a thousand people wearing thick cotton clothes or simple leather as protection, which is better than nothing.

Of course, Fanqi on the opposite side is not much better.

These Fanqi are the private soldiers of Zhu Erlingzhen, the great national teacher of the Sina nationality, and Ye Binggan, the teacher of the Xining Wei, as the backbone, and the herdsmen who are skilled in martial arts are the main body.

If it is said that the cavalry armor of the rebel army is about two-thirds, in fact, the cavalry armor under the hands of Ban Zhuo Erlingzhen, the great teacher of the Sina tribe, and Ye Binggan, the head teacher of Xining Wei, is only one-third of the cavalry armor.

Therefore, the protective cavalry who lost their armor, the charge on both sides was still tragic.

The ignorant livestock carried the stupid and reckless human beings, causing violent collisions one after another.

The long iron spear and the curved saber are either stabbing and slashing the opponent, or being stabbed and slashed by the opponent.

Every charge is a huge gamble, and each other's bargaining chips are lives.

If you win the bet, you live, if you lose the bet, you die, that's all.

Liu Zongmin was very lucky, and even "tossed" several times. Although he was already covered in blood, the result of the "opening" in the end was that he was bathed in other people's blood, not others' own blood.

He shook off the sticky blood in his hand, and gripped the spear in his hand again, only feeling that the riders around him seemed to be thinner.

The [-] rebel cavalry could make him feel "sparse". I am afraid that many cavalry had already been injured by the opponent's swords and guns.

Liu Zongmin turned his head anxiously, only to see that Li Zicheng's infantry were still crowded in front of the trench, and did not evacuate behind the retaining wall in time.

At this time, Zuo Guangxian, the Shaanxi commander-in-chief, and Ge Lin, the deputy commander-in-chief, saw that Fanqi had dragged Liu Zongmin's cavalry, so they ordered the infantry to slowly press towards the "cracking camp".

Once these people are allowed to fight against the rebels, what terrible result will it be?

How to do how to do?Liu Zongmin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but seeing the Panqi in front of him started to gallop again, he couldn't get away from the others.

Could it be that King Shun really wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents?A terrible idea burst out of Liu Zongmin's mind.

Just when Liu Zongmin was in doubt, a burst of cheers came from the side unexpectedly.

Liu Zongmin looked intently and saw another group of cavalry galloping from the north.

Liu Zongmin was taken aback. Looking carefully, he saw that there were about one or two thousand cavalrymen in that team, and they even waved two flags.

There is a word "Cao" written on one side and a word "Yang" written on the other side, and the Yang character flag is a little smaller.

"Yang Chengzu?" Liu Zongmin was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't help being overjoyed.

The "living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai once saved the life of the "Crossing General" Li Zicheng. Now that Luo Rucai's men have come, the "Crossing General" is naturally saved.

The fact is also the same. Zuo Guangxian and Ge Lin immediately ordered the infantry to slow down as soon as they saw the rebel army and cavalry suddenly appearing on the battlefield.

Just kidding, at this time Fan Qi, who was protecting the left wing of the infantry, was entangled with Liu Zongmin. If he was "backcharged" by other cavalry of the rebel army, the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing Yang Chengzu's arrival, Li Guo also breathed a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly ordered the infantry to retreat, and shouted loudly: "Line up and retreat behind the wall in order!"

And Li Zicheng also relaxed, it was too exciting to fight with King Shun.

Regardless of the tactic of crossing the river or the tactic of retreating behind the earth wall during the battle, the command level of the officers and the discipline of the soldiers are very high.

If it wasn't for Li Zicheng's team this time, he dared to say that none of the rebel teams other than "Shunying" could complete it.

Seeing that Li Zicheng's team had retreated back to the earthen wall, Yang Chengzu led his cavalry to attack Fanqi with Liu Zongmin.

When Ye Binggan, head teacher of Xining Wei, saw Yang Chengzu arrived, he quickly led his guards and turned around and ran away.

Just kidding, this killing god even killed his relatives who are so good at smelting iron, like killing a sheep, how can he be Yang Chengzu's opponent?

As soon as Naye Binggan ran, Zhuoer Lingzhen, the Naxi national teacher, immediately wanted to run too.

But for things like escaping, there are quick hands, but slow hands don’t.The Great Master was a beat slower than Ye Bingqian again, how could he escape?

Immediately, the [-] cavalrymen under his command were massacred by Liu Zongmin and Yang Chengzu.

When the two men were defeated and returned to the formation, Ge Lin, the deputy commander, was both happy and angry.

He couldn't help yelling: "Zhi Niang, don't you say that Han'er is cowardly? I think you should change your name to 'Hu Qi'!"

"There are [-] cavalrymen, but you can't take down the bandit's [-] cavalrymen. What are you doing?"

Zhuo Erlingzhen of the Great National Teacher of the Sina Nationality and Ye Binggan, head teacher of Xining Wei, both lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to brag about the cowhide, they just kept begging for forgiveness: "Good grandfather, don't say any more!"

"My lord governor will get angry in a while, so please give me some kind words! This is a little wish from both of us, please let us go!"

Good guy, you are talking about the two of you!
After all, Ge Lin is a scholar, and he can quote scriptures and scold people well when he curses.

Moreover, after such a setback by Liu Zongmin and Yang Chengzu, Zuo Guangxian and Ge Lin immediately became worried, and quickly ordered the soldiers to retreat in formation to prevent being taken advantage of by the rebel cavalry.

After finally reorganizing their formation, they suddenly found that the "thief" on the opposite side had already re-established their defense with the help of a section of earth wall.

"Where is the artillery? Where is the artillery?" Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, had suffered a great loss from the artillery of the rebel army before, and also used artillery to repel the rebel army, so he had a deep understanding of this.

Fix the target, use bombardment, I will do this!

Not long after, thirty or forty cannons were launched in Zuoguang Xianying, basically all of them were twelve-pound and nine-pound cannons like the "General Cannon".

Although these cannons were not mounted on Western-style gun mounts, they were carried on carts for easy movement.

"Fire!" Shaanxi Commander Zuo Guangxian yelled loudly, and immediately dozens of cannons were fired at once, and dozens of shells were fired, hitting the positions of the rebels fiercely.

However, due to the obstruction of the earth wall, most of them either fell into the trench or smashed into the earth wall.

It turns out that the so-called earth walls are all made of the residual soil dug out of the trench, and are almost ten feet wide and narrow.

When those powerful shells hit the dirt wall, energy was absorbed by the soft soil, making it difficult to cause effective damage.

"We're going to fight back!" "Crossing General" Li Zicheng smiled coldly when he saw it, and said in his heart: Who doesn't have a few cannons yet?

Then Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai had seen the sharpness of the "Shunying" artillery many times, and they did the same, and organized a battalion of artillery battalion, which was specially used for the management and use of artillery.

Li Zicheng didn't have as many cannons as Zuo Guangxian, only about fifteen.

The original earthen wall was left as a passage for the "Chuangying" to retreat, which can be used as an artillery passage.

So Li Zicheng ordered the gunners to set up the artillery, and counterattacked Zuo Guang first.

"Straight mother thief, dare to fight back!" Zuo Guang jumped his feet angrily.

However, there was an earthen wall protecting the front of "Chuangying", and they used less than half of the artillery to fight back and forth with Zuo Guang first, and even gained a slight advantage.
