"Commander, at least half an hour." The general replied.

"No, I can only give you two incense sticks of time. As long as the horsepower recovers enough to reach the capital in one go." Hong Chengchou doesn't care, one hour is too long, and anything can happen after an hour on the battlefield.

On Li Laiheng's side, a helmet crushed instant noodle scum was soaked into a paste, and it was being brought to the mouth of the war horse.There is no hot water here, it is completely soaked in cold water.The horse obviously still didn't like the smell, its big head was dangling, but it just didn't open its mouth.

"What should I do?" The chief of staff shook his head.

"This is water with salt added. I don't believe horses will not eat it." Li Laiheng grabbed a handful of the paste with his hands and wiped it on the horse's mouth. The horse stretched out its tongue and twirled around its mouth, then licked Li Laiheng's hand frantically.

Animals still like salty water very much. This is instinct. When Li Laiheng woke up in the middle of the night to pee, he always peed on the hay, and the war horses liked to eat it.

It is not so much the instant noodles that made the war horse speak, but the salty water taste that stimulated the war horse's appetite.

Eating mush is of course faster than eating grass and beans, both of which need to be chewed.Moreover, the soldiers of the first cavalry army didn't eat a single bite, and they all fed the horses. After all, they ate more than the puppet army last night.

On the side of the puppet army, Hong Chengchou had to take time to feed the soldiers, because they had been hungry for a day and a night, and it was obvious that the time for two incense sticks he stipulated was far from enough.No

Do you know if this is God's will?

Chapter 534: Fighting the Two Great Han Forces

When the cavalry army finally caught up with the puppet army, the two sides were already very close to the capital.

When Hong Chengchou heard that the Ming army was chasing him, his horse had just unsaddled, and he didn't even have enough water.This is the most critical moment, if you have to put it on right after you stop, it will be a waste of effort.

"Hurry up, after leaving the first battalion, the others will follow me." Hong Chengchou didn't care about life or death, he had already made up his mind that even if the horse ran away to death, he would enter the capital.

"Kill!" The Ming army had no forwards at all.What kind of striker do you need to pursue an enemy who has already made it clear?

As soon as Li Laiheng came up, the whole army pressed on him.The shiny saber, the shiny long boots, the dark breastplate on his body, and the resounding bugle mobilizing the entire battle formation.

Hong Chengchou heard it very clearly, he had never felt that this kind of bugle sound was so sweet, but it was a pity that this sound was his death talisman.

"Dang, clang, clang..." The sound of a piece of metal crashing drowned out the sound of the horses trampling the ground, and the two torrents collided.This is a battle of more than 2 people against 5000 people.

In fact, for large-scale battlefields, the four-fold difference in numbers does not show strength at all at the beginning of the war.The side with a small number of people is enough to form a large shock battle formation.For example, Jin Bing used to use thousands of soldiers to fight tens of thousands of Ming troops.

It was several miles long just because the two sides passed through each other.The [-] cavalry of the puppet army were also very powerful. They forcibly divided the cavalry into two pieces, and even cut through the long snake formation all the way.However, they themselves also suffered more than half of the casualties.

"What the hell kind of soldier is this? Why is it so powerful?" Li Laiheng was startled.The first cavalry army he was proud of was far behind in front of such powerful cavalry as his opponent.

"It should be a Jurchen Tartar. I just killed one. His helmet was adjusted, and the pig tail on the back of his head is very thin." Li Laiheng's guard said.

"We can't fight these savages here, our goal is Hong Chengchou." Li Laiheng is still very clear that a really good general must grasp the priority at any time and anywhere, and know what he wants to do.

From Daxing to Nanyuan, the cavalry army followed closely all the way.Hong Chengchou ran forward desperately, Li Laiheng desperately chased behind, and then the Jurchen cavalry was a little slower, and followed behind the first cavalry army.

But the situation of the puppet army is getting worse and worse, their horse speed is getting slower and slower, and finally they are completely overtaken by the first cavalry army in Nanyuan.At this moment, the puppet army couldn't run anymore, and the remaining horsepower would either fall on the bank of the Liangshui River, or it could fight a battle with the first cavalry army.

At this moment, countless people from the capital were crowded on the city wall of Yongdingmen, and the towering city gate was actually full of dignitaries.

In the distance, the dusty emperor rolled in like a sandstorm.

Hong Chengchou reined in the reins, stopped the horse, and looked at the somewhat blurred tall city wall.Behind him was a massacre of tens of thousands of people from the two armies.

"Marshal, hurry up and send someone to the city to send reinforcements." Ma Degong said eagerly, kneeling in front of Hong Chengchou's horse.

"It's useless. If they were willing to rescue them, they wouldn't be standing on top of the city gate to watch the theater." Hong Chengchou was so smart that he couldn't understand the current situation.

The Yongding Gate has not been opened, everything is self-evident!

In this battle, only one winner will be welcomed into the capital. If Hong Chengchou wins, he will become the general manager and CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of his life.

But if he fails, then he will only be left with a bad name forever.

"Bring my long sword." Hong Chengchou looked resentfully in the direction of the first army cavalry, his chest was stuffy and he couldn't breathe smoothly.

"Marshal, you can't go!" A middle-aged man who had been with Hong Chengchou for several years persuaded with tears.

"Kill the enemy. Today is life and death." Hong Chengchou cherished words like gold, and galloped wildly.

Li Laiheng killed happily, as a general, he hadn't stretched out so happily for a long time.The cavalry of the puppet army is still weaker than that of the Jurchen Tartars, and the first cavalry army can handle it.

The weather in early April was neither hot nor cold, and no one could find a reason to complain.A round of Tomorrow just hung on the head of the two-foot club, warm and comfortable.

However, under such a sun, it is true that the elite forces of the two political forces of this era are colliding and dying.

The red blood spilled onto the ground one by one, gradually drawing mottled marks on the yellow ground.So people only care about fighting, no one cares about the fact that they were brothers of the same root and race.

Half an hour later, countless war horses fell to the ground for no reason, despite the whipping of their masters, they could no longer stand up.

Li Laiheng lowered his head and touched the back of his war horse. The sweat was as wet as unwrung cotton cloth, and his pants were already wet from the horse's sweat.

All around, the formation can no longer be distinguished, the soldiers on both sides are intertwined, and what the soldiers can do is to attack any enemy around.Kill the enemy, or be killed by the enemy.

When a person is extremely tired, his body is no longer flexible. Every time he slashes, he exhausts all his strength, and the opponent is also very tired. What he can do is not to avoid the slashing with all his strength, but to rely on his body to carry it.At this point in the battle, the disadvantages of the puppet army's armor were highlighted.

A puppet soldier tried his best to chop down on the soldiers of the first cavalry army, but the plate armor still protected the Ming army's life very well. The Ming army only felt a little pain and took a step back.Immediately afterwards, the Ming soldier stabbed with all his strength, and the tip of the cavalry knife actually penetrated the puppet army's cotton armor and directly inserted into the puppet soldier's body.

No matter how good Hong Chengchou is, he will not understand that the nemesis of European plate armor is hammer and other offensive weapons.

This is just a small episode on the battlefield, but in the battle, countless small episodes and small details finally reflect the advantages of the Ming army over the puppet army, and relying on these advantages slowly began to take the initiative on the battlefield.

Li Laiheng suddenly found that there were very few cavalry formations still charging on the battlefield.At this moment, the cavalry on both sides turned into infantry fighting, and the infantry fighting was even more brutal than a piece of stone.

Because no one on either side backed down, and no one wanted to lose here.

"Blow the horn and tell all the brothers to fight in battle." Li Laiheng suddenly seemed to have returned to a rock. If he didn't want the past to repeat itself, he had to ensure that the entire army would not be defeated.

And to ensure that there is no rout, you need to maintain the formation.The cavalry formation is gone, but the Ming army still has the most basic infantry formation: the three-three formation.

"Dadudu..." A bugle sounded beside Li Laiheng, and then many bugles sounded in the distance.At this point, the Ming army's control over the military is more advanced and effective than the puppet army.

More than a dozen bugles sounded one after another, and the Ming army on the entire battlefield immediately seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.After a few breaths, it was obvious that the soldiers of the Ming army who had been fighting alone began to move closer together in twos and threes.

"End the formation, quickly end the formation." Hong Chengchou also found out that something was wrong, and the sense of crisis immediately enveloped his whole body.

However, it was too late, and the way the puppet army delivered the news was too slow.The military orders that can be expressed on the horn are slow and difficult to understand.By the time Shen Chang's ox horn was blown, the Ming army's advantage had been firmly established.

A large number of puppet troops could not adapt to the sword formation of the Ming army at all, and could only suffer continuous casualties and defeats.

"We are cavalry, and we are cavalry without horses. Even if we run with our legs, we still have the advantage of cavalry." Li Laiheng roared loudly, and then his feet sped up little by little.

Small formations moved one by one, and then gathered together, forming a formation similar to a cavalry charge, and began to charge on the bones of the puppet army.

For a moment, the killing sound in the shouts shook the sky, the voice gathered together, split the air, and resounded in the sky above Yongdingmen.

Zu Dashou propped himself up on the pile tremblingly, he hadn't felt this earth-shattering killing intent for a long time.
