Chapter 441 One death solves all worries, one death leaves nothing to chance!

To the northwest of Mixian City, Zhang Guangda led a team of [-] heavy cavalry and marched slowly towards the bandits in the south. Su Huhu and Mo Zhigen each led more than [-] Mongolian cavalry to protect him on both sides.

Zhang Guangda tried his best to suppress the speed of the horses in order to keep the formation neat and orderly. Heavy cavalry charged into the formation, relying on the orderly and tight military formation rather than personal bravery, so the integrity of the military formation and the consistency of the speed of marching were required. extremely high.

After a year of practice, the heavy cavalry charged in formation, from formation, slow step, fast step, running, formation again, to assault charge, but they have never experienced the test of actual combat. Some have no bottom.

He put on heavy armor and rode his horse at the front to suppress the speed, and led the heavy cavalry to walk slowly towards the bandits to maintain horsepower, so as to launch a death charge in the final stage.

The heavy cavalry was centered by Zhang Guangda, with five cavalry in the first row, seven cavalry in the second row, and so on, forming a conical formation of twelve rows and rushing towards the bandits.

Su Huhu and Mo Zhigen each led more than a hundred cavalry from the headquarters, and they were divided into two sides to protect the flanks of the heavy cavalry. Their speed was also suppressed, and they did not rush at full speed.

Seeing bandits forming a team from a distance, Zhang Guangda didn't take it seriously. Even if the bandits on the opposite side were waiting in full force, they were still vulnerable to his cavalry.

Seeing the heavy cavalry trotting in and within two hundred steps of the thieves, Zhang Guangda shouted: "The heavy cavalry is in the whole team, pay attention to the formation, and prepare to speed up."

They began to mobilize their war horses, changing from jogging to fast running. Seeing that the bandits on the opposite side were getting more and more organized, Zhang Guangda even shouted: "Stay in formation, charge faster, let the bandits show off our Xuanzhen iron cavalry!"

When the two sides got together and entered a hundred paces, the array of horse thieves on the opposite side gradually formed and shouted loudly, but Zhang Guangda ignored him and just shouted loudly: "The whole team, pay attention to the formation, and charge... charge!"

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

Twelve rows of conical cavalry, maintaining a strict formation, began to accelerate forward. The horses under their crotches had been suppressed all the time, and now they were free of restraints, and they all rushed forward with all their might.

Although there are only three hundred riders, its momentum and sense of oppression are as if thousands of horses are galloping forward, raising smoke and dust, and the sound of iron hoofs stamping on the ground shakes everyone's heart.

…………

Li Jiyu was also shocked. He faintly felt that there was something wrong with the officers and soldiers rushing towards him. He dared to rush towards his large formation of nearly 4000 people with only four or five hundred horses.

I have never encountered such a situation before, those officers and soldiers were not always chased and beaten by me, they only dared to stick to the fortress, and never dared to go out of the city to fight with me.

"It's really evil!" Li Jiyu couldn't help muttering.

He became the leader of this group of thieves not only because of his chivalry and kindness, but more because of his courage, insight and determination. Seeing this situation, he immediately ordered: "Quick, go to the two horses and see what's going on in the city!" What's up, you guys go up and call the infantry to rush up and stop the officers and soldiers, hurry... hurry..."

At this moment, the cavalry of the officer army on the opposite side walked a hundred steps away, and he also clearly saw the cavalry in the big cloud of smoke. Not only were everyone wearing iron armor, but even the horses were heavy cavalry wearing cotton armor. .

Li Jiyu was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth. "That's not right..." He muttered in his heart. He had fought against the army several times before, and there were not many of them in iron armor. never seen.

Suddenly, a group of thieves rushed out from the west gate of Mi County, followed by a group of horse thieves rushing out of the west gate.

Li Jiyu hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that the leader was Ji Zhiying who had gone to the city to seize the treasury earlier, so he knew it and said secretly, "Not good...".

I heard Ji Zhiying shouting from a distance: "Master, the officers and soldiers are entering the city, they can't stop... the north gate... the south gate... they all escaped..."

This roar became Li Jiyu's last straw to save his life, but he was not someone who only cared about himself. He shouted loudly: "Hurry up, drive the hungry people forward, disturb the officers and soldiers, everyone is screaming..."

As soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for others to react, he was the first to urge his horse to run forward, and after a half circle, he galloped away to the wilderness to the west.

Most of the horse thieves are old bandits from various places, or fleeing from the army. They are all experienced in plundering and escaping, and their personal escape skills are very good. Even if Li Jiyu didn't order them to remind them, he would not be so stupid. to die.

But Li Jiyu didn't want to escape by himself. He also wanted to escape with the thieves. As for the hungry people, it didn't matter. As long as there was no major loss of core strength, the team could grow again at any time.

Under the persecution of the horse thieves, the hungry people on both sides could only rush towards the oncoming heavy cavalry. Even if they knew they were going up to die, what could they do?

What's more, everyone is very clear in their hearts that people will always die if they rush up, but if someone dies, then someone will survive, everyone thinks so.

They rushed forward without hesitation, perhaps just to win the battle and have a full meal, or maybe they were used to obedience, or even more maybe they were looking for a way of relief.

Once you die, you will solve all your worries, and once you die, everything will be over!

In fact, Li Jiyu originally wanted to fight the officer army rushing across. He even thought that a mere five or six hundred officers, even the more than 3000 people who had not entered the city by himself, would be enough to defeat him.

Even if the officers and soldiers rushing from the opposite side are astonishing and well-equipped, so what?

Since he started his own uprising, has the number of battles against the officers and soldiers been less? Which time was it not chasing after the officers and soldiers? Even Dengfeng City was captured. Now if it wasn’t for this group of officers and soldiers making trouble, Mi County would be our own le.

…………

Zhang Guangda only started to speed up and charge, when he saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising from behind the horse bandits on the opposite side, he knew very well that the horse bandits on the other side were more than a hundred steps behind the lineup, it was impossible to charge at this time, he must run!
But there was no way, he led heavy cavalry, good at charging, but he couldn't last long, let alone chase the enemy, because men and horses were too heavily armored, so they couldn't run fast at all.

Zhang Guangda could only shout loudly: "Su Huhu, Mo Zhigen, rush up, don't let the horse thief escape..."

After he finished shouting, the heavy cavalry around him who kept charging in a horizontal line repeated in unison, and shouted three times like this, for fear that the Meng cavalry charging on both sides could not hear them.

Su Huohu and Mo Zhigen also noticed the small movements of the horse thieves on the opposite side. The habit of their Mongolian cavalry is to keep a certain distance from the enemy, and then harass the enemy with cavalry and shooting, so that the enemy is tired, or the formation is messy, and then they launch a real attack. attack.

Now their task is to harass and intercept the fleeing enemy on the two flanks. On the right flank is Su Huhu who is leading more than a hundred Mongolian cavalry. He has already seen the signs before Zhang Guangda raised his voice to remind them.
