The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 165
"There are not many officers, soldiers and cavalry, kill them, kill them!!!"

Gao Yingxiang clenched the spear in his hand, pointing angrily.

He saw the second round of shelling by officers and soldiers coming, and also saw Ma Yu's flag fall, but he still didn't rein in his horse.

But He Guoguang's banner was not far ahead, but a few hundred steps away, they were temporarily isolated in another area by the cavalry of officers and soldiers.

Gao Yingxiang's heart sank continuously, he knew that the plan to break out of the encirclement net of the Ming army was already impossible.

Now the situation of the battle has completely favored the officers and soldiers, and the only thing he can do now is to preserve as many soldiers as possible.

If Ma Yu cannot be saved, at least He Guoguang must be saved.

After the sudden panic, Gao Yingxiang had regained his composure.

Gao Yingxiang had a panoramic view of everything on the battlefield. Although the situation was chaotic, the encirclement network of officers and soldiers had just been formed.

The cavalry of the officers and soldiers that appeared on the entire battlefield totaled no more than [-] people, and most of them were infantry.

In fact, there were only a thousand cavalry troops attacking Ma Yu and He Guoguang.

If it wasn't for the sudden incident, but for an upright battle, the situation would definitely not have deteriorated to this point.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The high-pitched horn sounded suddenly, and even overwhelmed the rumbling drums of the officers and soldiers on the battlefield for a moment.

Gao Yingxiang was dressed in a white robe and golden armor, holding a spear in his hand and prancing in front of his horse, his big purple banner was constantly drumming and hunting in the headwind.

"kill!"

Thousands of cavalry warriors dressed in solid armor, followed closely behind with sharp knives in their hands, roaring forward.

Even if they were ambushed, even if they were bombarded, when the horn sounded, they still chose to follow the big banner that had been guiding them forward and charged fearlessly.

Although Sun Chuanting had issued a military order to send Chinese guerrilla Li Yingke to support General Li Yuchun, Gao Yingxiang's speed was a bit faster, and he had to make more decisive decisions when the time came.

Gao Yingxiang divided his troops into two teams, one team led by himself to help He Guoguang, while the other team went to intercept Li Yingke instead.

The supervising cavalry led by Li Yingke was entangled by the detached elite cavalry, unable to rush to the rescue of Li Yuchun's cavalry.

He Guoguang, who was already desperate and was about to give up resistance, and all the soldiers under his command, heard the sudden sound of the horn and saw the big purple banner belonging to Gao Yingxiang, and hope was rekindled in their hearts.

With the hope of survival at hand, they frantically attacked the troops led by Li Yuchun.

Caught between the two sides, it was difficult for Li Yuchun to contain the collapse of his cavalry army, so he could only choose to get out of the way, otherwise the whole army might be in danger of collapse.

"Get off the horse and let the arrows go!"

Li Yuchun was covered in blood and his face was gloomy. After returning to Gaopo, he immediately reined in his horse and issued a new military order.

"If you want to escape back, you have to leave something behind!"

Under the high slope, He Guoguang and Gao Yingxiang's two groups have successfully joined forces, and they are turning their horses and retreating towards the valley.

Li Yuchun spit on the ground, he glanced at the official road to the northeast, the infantry of the brigade had already completed the encirclement.

The leftover cavalry and fine cavalry scurried back and forth like headless chickens, being driven away by the army formation, but they couldn't escape no matter what.

With the sound of the cavalry horn, all the cavalry dismounted one after another, occupied the high slope and fired arrows at the official road.

At this point in the fierce battle, the follow-up infantry had also arrived. The cavalry dismounted and shot arrows with the infantry archers.

On the official road, a group of cavalry cavalry who were evacuating towards the Heishui Valley turned their backs on their backs.

"Get on the horse and charge him for a while!"

Li Yuchun got on his horse again, and led the servants under his command to charge down the hillside again.

It was a shame that the ambush was repulsed instead, and at this moment he also became cruel.

If He Guoguang and Gao Yingxiang can't be left behind, then all the fine cavalry behind them who want to escape into Yukou together will be left behind!

This time Li Yuchun launched a charge and made another contribution. He Guoguang hadn't gone far before, and the team following him was directly intercepted by Li Yuchun. At least half of the elite cavalry were intercepted on the other side.

Everything that happened behind was seen by He Guoguang, his face flushed red, blood dripped from his heart, but he knew that he could not turn back at this time.

During the battle, the shelling by the officers and soldiers did not stop, but came in turn, plowing bloodstains among the chaotic army.

The two teams of cavalry that Gao Yingxiang sent to harass the artillery position had no way of approaching the artillery position, and the officers and soldiers set up heavy defenses in the artillery position.

Gao Yingxiang and He Guoguang did not stop, and led the army to evacuate in the direction of this valley.

Under Gao Yingxiang's instruction, the horn sounded to withdraw troops, and the two teams of fine cavalry who harassed the artillery positions turned back.

And the sane army outside the valley swarmed towards the inside of the valley subconsciously when they heard the sound of the horn.

It's just that with so many soldiers and horses mixed together, they undoubtedly became the best targets for artillery.

The gunners of the Ming army on the top of the mountain had already hit their heads completely, and their movements had never been so fast as today.

The intervals between cannon shots became shorter each time, and they reloaded the cannons quickly.

When firing the cannon, you don't even need to aim too precisely, you just need to point the muzzle at the direction of the crowd in Yukou and you will be able to hit it.

In just a short moment, the entire Yukou has become a purgatory on earth.

More than [-] cannons completely smashed the psychological defense line of the cavalry and cavalry, and the continuous shelling shattered all their fantasies.

The large group of invaders who were crowded at Yukou completely collapsed, no one dared to go to Yukou again, and they fled aimlessly in all directions.

However, they had no place to escape, because Sun Chuanting had commanded his troops to encircle them at this time.

He Guoguang stood in the valley and looked in the direction outside the valley, his face was blue and white for a while.

After looking around at the soldiers around him, his face turned red, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight down from the horse.

Losing soldiers and generals, encountering a sudden change, He Guoguang was so anxious that he passed out.

In an instant, the people around were in a mess again.

Although most of the soldiers who did not go out of the valley did not know what happened at first, they knew in their hearts that it was definitely not a good thing.

When they saw Gao Yingxiang returning to the valley with a group of unkempt and embarrassed soldiers.

All the soldiers in the valley broke into an uncontrollable commotion.

"Why are the officers and soldiers outside the valley?!"

"Officers and soldiers blocked the valley entrance, so where are we going?"

"It's over... it's over..."

Although the military academy tried its best to suppress it, and Gao Yingxiang immediately sent people to appease the army, but all the slaves had little effect.

Except for a group of elite cavalry who did not fall into commotion, the cavalry had already begun to panic.

"Blow the trumpet, send the order, first withdraw to Xianyou Temple!"

Gao Yingxiang took one last look at the purgatory-like battlefield outside the valley, and resolutely issued the military order to withdraw to Xianyou Temple.

At this time, we can't let everything continue to ferment, otherwise, without the officers and soldiers killing the generals, they themselves will collapse first.

The best way is to use a military order, relying on the prestige of the past, to temporarily let the soldiers under his command have a short-term goal, so as to overwhelm other messy thoughts.

Although the camp of Xianyou Temple is simple, it can provide people with a certain sense of security and stabilize the morale of the army.

……

Sun Chuanting stood on the high slope and watched the battlefield below the mountain with cold eyes.

To be honest, Gao Yingxiang dared to take the risk to personally lead the troops to rescue He Guoguang and Ma Yu.

And it was so decisive, this move completely exceeded Sun Chuanting's expectations.

However, Gao Yingxiang led the army and successfully rescued He Guoguang and retreated to the valley. All this did not make Sun Chuanting's mood fluctuate much.

"The mouth of Heishuiyu Valley has been sealed off, and all departments of our army are working hard to wipe out the thieves and remnants."

Li Yingke clasped his fists, stood respectfully behind Sun Chuanting, and reported the situation on the battlefield to Sun Chuanting.

"Most of the intruders have surrendered, and only a few are still stubbornly resisting. It is estimated that all the intruders outside the valley can be cleaned up in half an hour."

Sun Chuanting's eyes shifted slightly, and there were only a few cavalrymen who were still struggling in the encirclement net. The fighting in many places had ended, and many ownerless horses were standing and running on the battlefield.

A large number of intruders who surrendered were concentrated and guarded, and were escorted to the camp of the captives.

"Several trails out of the valley have already sent more people to seal the cable."

With a seal at the mouth of the valley and a few trails sealed off, the entire Heishui Valley will become a land of thousands of mountains and valleys.

Gao Yingxiang rushed to Xi'an with light clothes this time, so he must not have brought much food.

Now they don't need to attack at all, they only need to hold the yukou, and they can trap Gao Yingxiang to death in the Heishui yu.

And most importantly, there is a tail behind Gao Yingxiang now...

Sun Chuanting raised his head again, looking towards the inner valley of Heishuiyu.

Gao Yingxiang still went out of Heishuiyu according to the plan, which already proved that Gao Yingxiang was unaware of all this, and Gao Yingxiang had not discovered the trilogy led by Chen Wang.

Gao Yingxiang is still kept in the dark, unaware of the real threat, which is actually lurking behind him.

Sun Chuanting stared at the rolling mountains in Heishui Valley, although he didn't know where Chen Wang was hiding and when he would send troops.

But one thing is certain is that Chen Wang will definitely appear at the most critical moment and deal Gao Yingxiang the most fatal blow.

Sun Chuanting's letter from Chen Wang from Ziwu Road had already been firmly remembered by Sun Chuanting.

Bold and careful, he decided that Gao Yingxiang must not have left just because he observed most of the Chuangjun passing by outside the city, and even guessed that he might have left Ziwu Valley to go north to Xi'an.

In the end, he dared to lead only [-] cavalry, and followed tens of thousands of intruders like this.

Sun Chuanting withdrew his gaze, calmed down, and asked calmly.

"How's the situation in Yunei?"

Hearing Sun Chuanting's question, Li Yingke didn't dare to neglect, lowered his head, and immediately reported.

"There is no reward at night, the intruders in the valley are retreating south to the direction of Xianyou Temple."

"General Li Shen led his troops into the Heishui Valley, and according to the original plan of the military gate, he was already on the hill beside the valley entrance for the time being."

"Now the intruders are far away from Yukou. If you want to camp on the hills west of Yukou, now is the best opportunity."

The mouth of Heishuiyu is in the northeast, and there is a hill on the west side of the mouth, which is in the north of Heishuiyu.

The terrain is much gentler than other mountains, but only relatively speaking.

In addition to a few trails at the exit of Heishuiyu, people can actually climb out of the valley from here, cross this mountain ridge, and then go northwest for a certain distance to reach Machaoli.

But under normal circumstances, no one would bother to cross such a high mountain instead of going to the more convenient and flat valley.

"Order, the whole battalion of the supervisor moved to the hill on the west side of Yukou, set up camp according to the mountain, and set up a guard against horses. The artillery team occupied the high ground according to the original plan, and set up positions."

Sun Chuanting raised his head, waved his big hand, and ordered loudly.

"Another camp was set up at the entrance of Heishuiyu Valley, under the command of Li Yuchun, who led the Xi'an Guards to station there. Be sure to guard the main roads and not let the intruders escape."

Sun Chuanting's expression was cold, with a palpitating murderous intent flowing in his eyes, and his tone was unquestionable.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he wants to complete all his achievements in one battle and capture and kill Gao Yingxiang!
But now his troops are not enough, the guards are unbearable to fight in the field, and the only ones who can rely on him are the [-] Supervising Standard Battalion under his command, and the battalion soldiers under Li Yuchun's command.

This time, following Gao Yingxiang's attack on Xi'an were all elite cavalry and elite horse soldiers in the army. Although there were only 4 to [-] people, their combat power should not be underestimated.

Sun Chuanting did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, the current situation is as long as the situation is stable.

He has already reported the situation to Hong Chengchou.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was leading the elite cavalry to gallop all the way south in the starry night, and Zu Kuan also led the troops to Weinan on the [-]th, and it was probably near Tongguan by now.

If all the Liao cavalry under Zu Kuan's command were fast enough, they could reach Xi'an within four to five days. Xi'an is about 150 miles away from Heishuiyu, so they arrived overnight.

The death of Gao Yingxiang will shake the whole world, and the remaining remnants of the party will only suffer from scabies. At that time, we only need to mobilize soldiers to exterminate the remaining bandits, and the civil strife will be quelled.

At that time, the country can put all its energy on the frontier.

And he can also free up his hands to clean up the long-standing abuses in Shaanxi Province...

……

"Ming Zongbingzu Kuantang Newspaper":
"The second governor of Inner Mongolia will be transferred to Qin."

"Yuan Tongzhi, the post and supervisor, sent troops from Henan on the first day of the seventh month, and entered Tongguan on the ninth day of the seventh month."

"To Weinan on the thirteenth,... on the sixteenth, the soldiers came to Lintong, and Master Hong rewarded the soldiers and showed them the direction. They are not allowed to cut ranks or plunder wealth before the battle. If you can win the king, you will be rewarded again..."

"Arrived in Xi'an on the [-]th, received a withdrawal letter, and returned to the division according to the duty."

"Unexpectedly, according to the police report in Biewu County, the thieves occupy the Heishuiyu mountain in this county."

"The strange taste of killing and looting is only a hundred and five away from the provincial capital."

"Please hurry to the rescue, on duty!"
