I want to be emperor

Chapter 61
As a battle-hardened general who has suppressed bandits for many years and fought in Jiliao and Dongyao in his early years, Huang Guangmao is no stranger to cavalry.

Just now, he just heard the rumbling sound and knew that it was the brigade of cavalry attacking. When he looked towards the direction of the valley, he saw the appearance of the brigade of bandit cavalry.

How is this going?

Why did the bandits come out with so many cavalry?

Could it be that the elite bandit army that I was chasing before ran back to Funiu Mountain?

In just a short moment, many thoughts appeared in Huang Guangmao's mind, but soon these thoughts were all occupied by one thought.

Ruined!
The thieves on the opposite side dispatched hundreds of cavalry to fight out. If it was normal, I would have to gather hundreds of people and form a tight formation. At the same time, I must have a certain amount of archers or musketeers.

Only in this way can the initial security be ensured.

But it's just about safety.

But now, the army under his command has been divided into four. One was originally attacking the hillside on the right, but now it has been completely defeated, and only more than 50 soldiers are retreating down the mountain.

One group originally attacked the hillside on the left side. Because it was a feint attack, they didn't hit too hard, so the loss was not too big, but they were also in the process of retreating down the mountain.

He can't count on these two forces now.

As for the force on the front of the valley, it is a cannon fodder force composed of more than 200 county braves and civilian husbands and dozens of soldiers plundering the formation. This force is also used as a feint attack force. Received his retreat force, and is now in the process of slowly retreating.

But because most of them are county brave men, there is no formation at all, let alone a formation now that they are retreating.

Such a force was attacked by hundreds of cavalry from the enemy. Needless to say, its fate must be over.

Next, it was Huang Guangmao who personally led dozens of soldiers and two to 300 civilian husbands who were used as a reserve team.

Those unarmed civilians can be ignored directly, all he can rely on is dozens of soldiers.

And in this way, can the enemy's cavalry be blocked?

No matter how confident Huang Guangmao is, he is not so confident.

So when he saw the bandit dispatching a hundred cavalry, he knew it was over.

However, even though his heart was already desperate, Huang Guangmao still frantically shouted after being dazed for a few seconds: "Quick, line up!"

"Quickly line up, or we'll all be doomed."

While Huang Guangmao personally commanded his remaining dozens of soldiers to form formation, he did not forget to send an order to the Chinese army to let them also form formation.

However, at this time, Huang Guangmao's order seemed to be ineffective.

Because when the brave men of more than 200 counties in the direction of the Chinese army saw hundreds of bandit cavalry coming towards them, most of them made a choice, and that was to turn around and run.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the few officers in Xianyong Li all ran away immediately, even earlier and faster.

Because these officers knew a little bit about military affairs, they knew better than ordinary county warriors the huge threat of cavalry, so they wouldn't stay where they were and wait to die.

The brave men of more than 200 counties fled immediately, and even dozens of soldiers who were used as raiders were engulfed in.

Although a temporary sentinel leading these captains tried his best to gather the troops and organize the formation, he was powerless in the panic. In the end, these soldiers were directly carried and ran back by the fleeing county braves.

Huang Guangmao at the back also noticed that the Chinese army in front collapsed without even resisting, but at this time he was powerless.

He could only organize dozens of soldiers under his command to prepare for the attack.

And when Huang Guangmao organized troops to attack, Wang Jida behind him was also stunned. At this time, his followers leaned over to Wang Jida's ear: "My lord, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall!"

After Wang Jida heard this, he came back to his senses, with a righteous look on his face: "Don't try to ruin my innocence, today I will definitely fight the bandit army to the death."

Seeing Wang Jida like this, several of his followers looked at each other, and one of them said: "Master, I'm offended!"

Immediately afterwards, these people clamped Wang Jida directly, and then quickly walked towards a few horses beside him. At first Wang Jida struggled, saying something: "Let me go, I will die in battle!" You won’t let you down on the battlefield.” Something like that.

But as he walked, there was no sound. Looking closely, he saw that Wang Jida was running ahead of his followers.

Don't look at him as fat, but he doesn't run slowly at all...

After a while, these people got on their horses and left in the dust!

After Huang Guangmao finished the queue at the headquarters, he looked around and wanted to find Wang Jida. After all, this man was a civil servant and a Jinshi, so Huang Guangmao subconsciously wanted to protect him in his panic.

But he couldn't find it after searching for a while. At this time, he realized that Wang Jida must have run away while taking advantage of it.

"Bastard, every day you call for a strong attack to the death. If you encounter danger, you will be the first to run, towards your grandma."

Although Huang Guangmao knew that Wang Jida was a bastard, to be honest, Huang Guangmao felt that this person wanted to be promoted and made a fortune, he was crazy, and he didn't care about the lives of soldiers, but he really didn't expect this person to be so timid. Kill it and run away without saying a word.

This person, time and time again refreshes his lower limit for civil servants...

now what?Do you want to run away?
Just as the Ming army was in chaos, blind Wang led the cavalry out of the canyon and came to the flat ground in front of the valley.

At this time, the benefit of Luo Zhixue sending people to cut down all the trees in front of the valley became apparent. Although the open space was not too big and the overall terrain was not too flat, it was still enough for the cavalry to run.

Blind Wang rushed to the forefront. After chasing the Ming army in front, he clamped his feet tightly to the horse's belly, bent his bow with both hands and set an arrow. The next moment, an arrow flew out and directly shot a fleeing soldier. The back of the little leader of the Ming army.

Immediately afterwards he shot a second arrow and a third arrow.

Seeing that the opponent had suffered a lot of casualties and the formation was completely disorganized, he put down his riding bow, then swung his saber and charged forward.

The other cavalry also followed Xiazi Wang, and rushed up with sabers instead.

The cavalry rushed through the scattered and sparse Ming army ranks, and every time the sword flashed, a Ming army was killed or injured.

Soon, many people saw the bandit cavalry attacking them, and after their own side was completely unable to resist, they threw away their swords and spears on the spot, knelt down on the ground and shouted surrender and forgiveness...

Blind Wang didn't bother with the soldiers of the Ming army who surrendered, and he didn't even care about the retreat of the Ming army fleeing to the two sides. Instead, he continued to charge forward all the way, and directly penetrated the formation of the Ming army's middle army. More than a hundred meters ahead, there is already a queue of dozens of soldiers led by Huang Guangmao.

Looking at these lists the complete formation, and there are shield protection, soldiers with bows and arrows.

Huang Guangmao also wanted to run, but Wang Xiazi rushed over with the cavalry too fast, there was no time for him to run, so he could only continue to line up and wait.

After Blind Wang snorted coldly, he turned directly with the cavalry behind him, led people around, and blocked Huang Guangmao's troops.

At the same time, a team of cavalry was sent to continue to charge and force the remnants of the enemy's central army to surrender.

As for Huang Guangmao, he could only watch helplessly as the cavalry of the bandit army charged repeatedly, bleeding the rout of his own Chinese army into rivers.

And one of the remaining hundred survivors counted as one, and they all knelt on the ground and surrendered...

Just before the game, at this time, Wang Dazhuang also received Luo Zhixue's order to rush out of the valley to reinforce the cavalry post.

Naturally, the combat effectiveness of the [-]-man Chinese army to which Wang Dazhuang belongs is not very good, but it is not a problem to take over and deal with the more than [-] prisoners who have surrendered.

As for Wang Xiazi, he asked An Yongduo and Ma Dapao to lead a team of cavalry, and they charged directly to the left and right sides, and there were also a team of Ming troops on the left and right sides.

As soon as these Ming troops climbed down the mountain, their own central army was attacked by bandit cavalry. Seeing that something was going wrong, they wanted to escape, but they could run with four legs. The cavalry overtook them.

After some rushing, more than a hundred county braves and dozens of soldiers on the left side died and injured dozens of people, and the rest also surrendered, and a few people ran directly into the dense forest on the side.

The dozens of soldiers on the right side are more straightforward. These people are more knowledgeable than the county warriors, and they are also more organized. They formed an formation early to protect themselves and did not collapse directly.

Facing the more than 50 routs of the Ming army formed on the right, An Yongduo didn't rush forward foolishly, and didn't even try to ride and shoot from the outside, but stayed directly [-] meters in front of them.

Up to now, the hundred cavalry led by Wang Xiazi and An Yongduo have defeated the Ming army in the middle and the Ming army in the left wing.

At the same time, the remnants of the Ming army on the right were held back, and the reserve team of the Ming army was behind.

Luo Zhixue, who continued to command the battle on the left side of the mountain, couldn't help but shouted at this time: "Okay, the cavalry post is indeed the mainstay of our village protection battalion!"

While being amazed, Luo Zhixue did not forget to continue to dispatch troops. He wanted to kill the Ming army in front of him in one go, especially to continue dispatching troops to the right and reserve troops of the Ming army that had already lined up. Get stuck.

Under his order, the left army and the right army on the hills on both sides have already taken the initiative to attack, and at the same time the two teams of the supply battalion also rushed forward.

However, even when he saw the complete victory, Luo Zhixue still did not use the first and second teams of the supply battalion.

No matter what the situation is, he has to keep a certain reserve team to prevent any possible accidents, even if this possibility is small.

The left and right armies and the two teams of the supply battalion attacked one after another, plus a hundred people from the Chinese army who attacked one step ahead.

Now the various departments of Baoxiangying have launched a comprehensive counter-offensive.

Because the battlefield is actually quite small, the infantry of the Baoxiang Battalion, who were quickly reinforced, cooperated with the cavalry to complete the siege of the Ming army on the right wing and the Ming army in the reserve team. surrendered soldiers, and pursued sporadic small-scale Ming troops.

Luo Zhixue did not pay too much attention to the situation of the Ming army prisoners of war, but always paid attention to the two Ming armies that were besieged.
