Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 558 Solving the Bandits 11
"These damned cavalry are simply hellish ghosts!"

Zhang Xianzhong was panting, muttering curses.He fought Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, and many Ming army generals, and suffered many defeats, especially Cao Wenzhao. Never repeating the same, it just made him want to die.However, he had never tried such a mess before!Even Cao Wenzhao had never tried to beat him so badly!

The tens of thousands of troops were completely finished, and now there was even a cavalry force biting at him, and the brothers from the old battalion who had been cut off were killed by them like melons and vegetables, and they were almost powerless in front of sharp sabers. The huge gap in combat power made Mr. Zhang feel very sad, and even a little discouraged.With 6 or [-] horses, they were completely defeated without much fighting. Such a result made him unacceptable, and the casualties of so many elite veterans made him have the urge to vomit blood.Now he just wants to slap himself hard. If he had known that the new army of Heluo was so terrified when he was angry, he would not have done such a stupid thing as beheading the military envoy if he was killed.Unconditional surrender is unconditional surrender, as long as those confidantes are still there, as long as those thousands of old battalion elites are still there, when to rebel is not a matter of his words!

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. Even if there is, he probably doesn't have time to take it, because Guan Ning's iron cavalry is about to catch up!Speaking of horse riding, how could he compare to these super elites who learned to ride horses before they learned to walk!
A childish voice sounded: "Father, let's go, the child is here!" It was Li Dingguo, the number one fighter against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, who is only 13 years old now, and he looks good.Li Dingguo joined the Rebel Army three years ago. Seeing his extraordinary appearance, Zhang Xianzong believed that this son must have a great future, so he adopted him as his foster son and trained him as a confidant general along with Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and others.Now that the situation is critical, this child is still very calm, he stabbed Zhang Xianzhong's horse in the buttocks, the horse was in pain, and rushed out with all its strength.Zhang Xianzhong yelled: "Hongyuan, don't go! Come back!"

Li Dingguo turned a deaf ear, turned his horse's head, and said to the more than 100 brothers around him: "The lives we have been waiting for were given by my adoptive father. Now give this life back to my adoptive father. Follow me!" He raised his saber and took the lead. He rushed straight towards the chasing Guan Ning cavalry.The more than 100 brothers from the old camp did not hesitate to kill them with swords and spears.

After fighting for so long, it was the first time that Guan Ning's iron cavalry bumped into an opponent who dared to turn around and fight back, so he couldn't help being slightly stunned.In this daze, Li Dingguo rushed in front of them, with both swords out, a Guan Ning cavalryman who swung his saber at him spewed blood from his neck, half of his neck was cut off, and it seemed that he would not survive.After a successful blow, Li Dingguo yelled at him, because he slashed the ribs of the Guanning cavalry on the left with another knife, and only pulled out a spark—the defensive performance of the breastplate of these cavalrymen was beyond his imagination.The two sides were facing each other head-on, and if they missed a hit, it would be very difficult for them to swing the second knife. A cold light flashed in front of them, and a saber with a long and narrow blade was cut to the neck. Li Dingguo's hair stood on end, but his movements doubled. Nimble, his body leaned back, and the knife brushed past the tip of his nose, making his skin crawl all over.Before he could sit up, he swung his saber again, because Guan Ning's cavalry charged in a team, and each of them had only one chance to swat his saber at one enemy. It meant that each of Li Dingguo and the others had to face this continuous hacking without even a chance to breathe.Li Dingguo was inevitably a little flustered. He only knew that this cavalry was very strong, but he never expected it to be so strong. A face-to-face meeting told him that he could only parry and had no power to fight back!
The war horse let out a mournful hiss, and the Guan Ning cavalry found it too difficult to hit this little guy who was more nimble than a monkey, so they followed up and swung their sabers at his sabers.The blade swung across, and the aorta and trachea on the side of the horse's neck were cut off in unison, blood spurted out, and it fell down!With a roar, Li Dingguo abandoned his horse and slammed into a Guan Ning cavalryman rushing towards him like a little leopard. The impact was so strong that he knocked the cavalryman off his horse.The cavalryman punched him in the lower abdomen, causing him abdominal cramps and almost vomiting. The little fellow gritted his teeth and stabbed fiercely with a knife in both hands, piercing the cavalryman's neck with one knife. Hang, killed him on the spot.

"Major General, get on your horse!"

An old battalion cavalryman rushed over on horseback and stretched out his hand to pull Li Dingguo to get him on the horse.A general without a horse is a cripple, no matter how powerful his martial arts skills are, if he doesn't do this, Li Dingguo will die.But the Heluo New Army didn't give him this chance. Just when his fingertips touched Li Dingguo's hand, a crossbow shot through the air, hit him in the face, and knocked him off his horse.Li Dingguo saw these terrifying black-clothed cavalrymen galloping past one after another, swiping their sabers, and his brothers fell off their horses one after another. Far away, they tried their best, but they could only delay the attack of the black cavalry for a while!

Two more cavalrymen in black rushed over one after another.

Li Dingguo gritted his teeth, and threw the dagger in his right hand with all his strength, hitting the face of the cavalryman in front, the tip of the knife piercing the back of his head.The other one was thrown out immediately, but unfortunately the one behind was already prepared, and leaned back to avoid the throwing knife, and slashed at it with one knife.Li Dingguo's body faltered, he leaned against the edge of the knife and dodged it, reached out and grabbed the stirrup with all his might, turned over in an inconceivable way, onto the horse's back, and wrapped his arms around the cavalry's neck!The cavalryman didn't expect this kid to have this trick, he was taken aback, and elbowed back.Li Dingguo didn't dodge or dodge, he took this elbow hard, spurted a mouthful of blood, and before the opponent hit the second elbow, his dagger was unsheathed, pierced the cavalryman's back neck with a puff, and twisted again. , on time account.After solving this, he only felt that his whole body was falling apart, and the gold stars were dancing in front of his eyes, and he couldn't exert any strength.Unfortunately, the Guan Ning cavalry didn't intend to let him go just like that. A crossbow arrow pierced through the air, hit his shoulder, and passed through. Li Dingguo yelled, fell off his horse, and passed out.

Unlike infantry fighting in groups, cavalry fighting will not last too long. If it is too long, the horses will not be able to bear it.In just one cup of tea, all of Li Dingguo's more than 100 brothers were dead, leaving him alone, covered in blood, lying unconscious on the ground.Several Guan Ning cavalry were deeply impressed by him. They surrounded him, raised several spears at the same time, and stabbed him.This kid has the lives of several of their brothers in his hands. No one can let him go!

Zu Dale shouted: "Stop!"

Those cavalrymen said angrily: "Second General, this kid killed several of our brothers, we must not let him go!"

Zu Dale waved his hand and said, "I've seen it all. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and there is no resentment in life or death. If you die in the hands of the opponent, you can only blame them for their lack of skill. This kind of hatred cannot be revenged." The blood man on the ground praised him: "He is a tough guy. He has such skills at a young age. When he grows up, he must be a good general with both wisdom and courage. Come and bandage him and send him to the field hospital." , don’t let him die.”

Although the Guan Ning cavalrymen were not angry, they also admired the young man's skill and courage. Zu Dale had already spoken, so they stopped being entangled in this bit of enmity. They dismounted and tied up Li Dingguo, and used Jinchuang medicine to stop his bleeding. Then evacuate.As Li Dingguo said, in a battle of real swords and guns on the battlefield, there is nothing to complain about dying at the hands of the opponent. This kind of hatred cannot be avenged.

After Li Dingguo was solved, Guan Ning's cavalry changed horses and continued the pursuit.

Taking advantage of the Guanning cavalry being entangled by Li Dingguo, Zhang Xianzhong fled with his last group of henchmen.There are people whose horses run out of strength or sprain their legs, and everyone can't control it. If you fall behind, you can find a way by yourself. Can you still pull him on the horse's back and ride together?After galloping for hundreds of miles along Xiaoshan Mountain, they finally got rid of the Guanning cavalry and came to the pass of Xiaoshan Mountain. At this time, there were less than 200 people who could still follow Zhang Xianzhong.In just one contest, the rebel experts almost lost all their capital. There are only a few confidantes left in the tens of thousands of troops. Even he himself finds it unbelievable, but he can’t believe it. Heluo’s new army has this ability, and he can be called The entire army was wiped out in an instant!

The pass of Xiaoshan Mountain looks like a wild beast with a bloody mouth, ready to devour the creatures that enter the mountain pass at any time, which makes people frightened.This is the place where military strategists died. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Mugong sent [-] troops through the Weihan Passage into the Luoyang Basin, trying to destroy the State of Zheng, but was frightened back by a cattle dealer. On the way home, he was ambushed by the Jin army. The whole army was wiped out, and only a few generals were captured alive. They were supposed to be sent to the ancestral temple as sacrifices. Thanks to Princess Huaiying's persuasion, Jin Hui let them go back, and they saved their lives.After that, the Qin army regarded the Weihan Passage as a treacherous route, and throughout the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, the Weihan Passage was no longer considered as a marching route.No matter how many people are sent into this ghost place, once they are ambushed, there is only one dead end. The more people there are, the faster they will go, but if it is purely for refuge, it can still be considered.

Zhang Xianzhong reined in his foaming horse and observed the surrounding terrain. He saw that the trees, mountains and rocks were all covered with a thin layer of mountain snow and were silent. He exhaled a sullen breath, turned to his confidants and smiled reluctantly, saying: "Then Heluo The new army is also brave and foolhardy. They only know how to attack and fight fiercely, but they don’t know how to send a surprise force to sneak around and seal the pass of Lushan Mountain... Although our army suffered a disastrous defeat today, the backbone of you are still there. As long as we can cross Lushan Mountain, Returning to Shaanxi, if you climb high and shout, thousands of people will follow you, and tens of thousands of troops will be at your fingertips!" At this point, he couldn't help but look back in the direction of the Dizi Temple, with deep hatred and deep fear in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said : "Heluo New Army, we have finally settled this feud! If we fight again next time, you will never win so easily again!"

A cold voice sounded: "Do you think you have a next time?"

All the confidantes were terrified, surrounded Zhang Xianzhong, and shouted sharply: "Who is it? Come out!"

The surrounding area rustled, and a large amount of snow was lifted. Behind the big trees, behind the rocks, and even in the grottoes, mink fur hats and black muzzles were exposed.This is the Mongolian cavalry cavalry led by Cao Jun himself. Before they started fighting, they bypassed the rogue's defense line by a narrow path, detoured to this area to lie in ambush, drank the mountain wind for several days, and finally waited for Zhang Xianzhong, a big fish. .

Zhang Xianzhong's face was ashen, and he said loudly: "We surrendered! We surrendered!"

Cao Jun said coldly, "It's late!"

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned: "Why? Didn't you recruit us from the beginning?"

Cao Jun said: "The champion has said that if I intercept you here, it means that the surrender has failed and a bloody battle has broken out, so we don't have to be polite to you, just let us kill you." After a pause, he Added: "Champion Hou also said that anyone can surrender, but you, Zhang Xianzhong cannot surrender!"

Zhang Xianzhong's face was distorted: "Why? Why is this?"

Cao Jun said: "Because you don't have any credit at all. If you say surrender, you will surrender, and if you say no, you will turn against it! Our Heluo Town is a small place, and we can't stand your troubles... So, Mr. Zhang, let's go on the road with peace of mind! "

Zhang Xianzhong yelled rudely: "You can't kill me! I am an important person named by Zhu Youjian's son. If I want to be dealt with, he can only deal with me!"

Cao Jun said: "This is also the reason why we cannot accept your surrender. If the emperor softens and lets you go, our busy work will be in vain... open fire!"

More than 1000 rifled flintlock guns fired at the same time, and the sound of gunfire was loud. The elites of the old battalion who protected Zhang Xianzhong with their bodies splashed a large amount of blood on the snow, which was extraordinarily beautiful...
