Just as a tiger encountered prey, the cavalry of both sides was dispatched almost immediately, even in the dark night, they still did not give up their seemingly imminent military achievements.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!" The arrows broke through the air and kept screaming and falling down in the evening breeze.

Then there was a continuous sound of horse hooves. The sound of hooves was so dense that you knew that someone was charging in groups.

Everyone knows that the Central Plains cavalry likes to fight in person and face to face. For various reasons, the grassland cavalry is unwilling to fight head-on with the Central Plains cavalry, but likes to kill the enemy with bows and arrows in circles.

Generally speaking, the Xia cavalry is the one who likes to play with you on the battlefield, rather than keeping archers from a distance from twenty or thirty steps away. When you see you approaching, you immediately flee backwards, and then shoot archers before shooting archers.

But tonight it turned out the other way around.

Facts have proved that not all grassland cavalry like to ride and shoot, and some people are more special, such as the Jin cavalry who were born in the Jiu family of Zhaowu. These Sogdian ancestors came from Central Asia and Iran. At this time, they carried long spears and spears to launch a group charge towards the Xia cavalry.

The Xia army that was facing the battle was the Liang family army from Helong. The chief general Liang Mancang was the son of Liang Xiangjian. He led a group of light cavalrymen who were not sure whether they were Han, Dangxiang or Tubo people, and shot arrows from afar.

So, a scene with great Tang Dynasty characteristics appeared on the battlefield. The Hedong foreign soldiers rushed straight to the Daxia foreign soldiers, and the two sides were stirred up together, fighting each other until they died.

Li Sien was quite brave, with a very high level of riding and shooting. Under the dim light, he even shot arrows and shot several people. Then he pulled out a handful of iron and rushed over with one horse, smashing horizontally and vertically, and was brave enough. Even Liang Mantun, the brother of Liang Mantun, even got a hit and almost fell off the horse.

"No more fighting, retreat!" Liang Mancang Ce stepped forward, danced straight with a spear, swept the countdown of several Jin soldiers, rescued his younger brother, then roared and retreated.

On the chaotic battlefield, roaring like him is actually not heard by many people. This is not related to the noisy environment, but also related to people. When people are in extremely nervous, they are easy to ignore other aspects and often do not pay attention to the flag, distinguish the golden drum, and listen to orders. This is the biggest difference between new recruits and veterans.

However, these Helongfan people were familiar with the tribe fighting style, so they were not well organized. They moved forward and fled in a swarm, retreated and fled in different ways, and they had practiced many times. As they were fighting, many people saw that the robes were retreating, so they turned their horses and ran directly into the fields, stepped on the crops, crossed the ridges, and passed through the villages, and fled like flying.

Seeing this, the morale of the Jin army was greatly boosted, and they all roared and chased them even harder.

At the edge of the woods not far from the battlefield, Wang Jianji opened his eyes wide and tried to see the entire battlefield clearly.

The war horse under his crotch sniffled uneasily, walking non-stop, just like his master.

There were more than two thousand knights in the woods. At this moment, they had already stood up from the ground, holding the horse, and waiting for the order silently.

Li Yu weighed an iron mace, which was given to him by Wang Jianji's personal soldiers.

Li Yu could see that the personal soldiers were meant to laugh at him. It is actually normal to send civil servants weapons to defend, but it is usually a horizontal sword or a short sword, but you end up giving an iron mace?

This thing is used to smash the enemy's armor and knock it on the head. Even if the enemy wears a helmet, he will fall to the ground. But correspondingly, using this weapon requires strength. Can the civil servant really do it?

However, he underestimated Li Yu. When he was the chief clerk of Anling County under Lu Yanwei, he acted as a county magistrate and brought people to catch thieves with weapons. He was born in the Li family of Zhao County, and learned some martial arts skills when he was a teenager, which also shortened his time to study literature. Although the iron mace is heavy, it is not unavailable.

"Why don't you be a righteous person for me - a personal soldier." Wang Jianji turned his head, looked at Li Yu, and said with a smile.

"General, don't joke, it's time to send someone to stop it." Li Yu said: "The night is hazy, and you will retreat after the fight, and the thieves can't catch up with you."

"You guys have a lot of thoughts," Wang Jianji sighed.

"Not all Mao - literati are like this." Li Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Some people are upright, some are calm and elegant, and some educate the world. I am both greedy for the officialdom and cherish my life, which is far worse than them. Moreover, I was the chief clerk of Anling County, Dezhou, and I was still giving you advice at this time, so it's already - Alas! General, please give orders quickly."

"Okay!" Wang Jianji looked up and immediately ordered the five hundred Tianxiong cavalrymen, and ordered them to rush out of the woods to stop the Jin army, so that Liang Mancang and Liang Mantun could escape the life of a dog.

The cavalry set off soon.

They slowly descended the slope, slowly accelerated, and then passed through the fields covered with wheat ears and rushed into the Jin army.

The Jin army had noticed them and had to divide a portion of their troops to fight.

The two sides fought in the fields like this, with blood rainstorms and corpses falling like rain.

The wheat that the people of Cangzhou have worked hard to plant in spring is not decently trampled by war horses. But no one cares about their feelings. When life and death are at the moment, who cares whether you have destroyed the wheat fields?

Besides, this is a small scene. When the two armies confront each other, thousands of infantry stood in the wheat field and the harvest was completed in one year - many times, they could not choose a battlefield, and wherever they fought, everything was the top priority. Even the army that loved to protect the people the most could not be pedantic at this time.

"The fight was pretty good." Wang Jianji looked from a distance for a while, then turned over and said, "Get away."

Li Yu also got on the horse.

The group of people left the battlefield and retreated to the southeast.

The movement of the retreat of the cavalry in the brigade shocked the second group of Jin troops who came to reinforce. They subconsciously slowed down their horses and allowed various Xia soldiers to fight and run away.

*******

Li Cunju waited in Lutai Army City until the second half of the night until his personal soldiers woke him up.

"How?" He jumped up and asked, sleeping in his arms.

"The Jingsai Army won a great victory, beheaded at level 200, and captured more than a hundred horses." The personal soldiers replied.

"I really let them pick it up!" Li Cunju said with some envy, and then he was a little confused: "Why is Xia Bing so careless?"

The personal soldiers could not answer, but in fact he was also blinded.

While the two were staring at each other, Li Sien had already brought the cavalry back to the city, and he could hear his loud voice from afar.

"Happy! So happy!" After Li Sien dismounted, he walked to the yamen office in a stairs and laughed: "Xia Zhe's horse is really good, tall and powerful, and extremely divine."

Li Cunju was even more depressed when he heard this.

Of course he didn't know that there was some exaggeration in Li Sien's words. In fact, less than twenty of the more than a hundred war horses captured were considered gods, but they were only a little taller than the war horses of the Jin army. After all, they were all eliminated products of Ma Zheng, and they were really not considered good horses.

"When the king knows this victory, he will definitely be rewarded." Li Cunju said sourly.

Li Sien smiled but said nothing.

Li Cunju couldn't sit still and stood up and asked, "How many people have come to Xia Zhe? Is it so easy to fight?"

"It's about one or two thousand riders, it's not very difficult to fight. After the men rushed for a while, the thieves dispersed. I guess the Xia people have not been on the battlefield for a short time, and they are trapped and have no fighting spirit, or they may be ordinary." Li Sien said.

"Then..." Li Cunju hesitated.

"I just met a messenger outside the city, and the life-catching army was about to arrive." Li Sien said suddenly.

"Catch the Life Army?" Li Cunju was shocked when he heard this, and then frowned again.

The Chasing Army was a cavalry, led by Li Siben. When they came, Li Cunzhang would be not far away. Maybe, he would have already arrived at Yukou Pass with You, Zhuo, Ying, and Mozhuzhou troops.

In fact, he could have brought more troops south, but Li Cunxiao's betrayal changed everything.

Although Guizhou was besieged by the troops of Hedong, Yiding and Youzhou this year, and suffered heavy losses, it was not captured and the threat always existed. This forced Li Cunzhang to leave some troops to guard it, and the Shanhou army of Li Luoluo, who was envoyed by the Pingzhen Town of Tanjiying, could not leave. He went to Guizhou from time to time to sweep, and repeatedly entangled with Gui, Xin and Yi soldiers.

Anyway, it’s very difficult. Li Cunxiao is really cheating, so why did he suddenly surrender? What can Shao Shude give you?

Let’s talk about wealth and honor, but it doesn’t seem to be there, and it still hides in the ghost place in Guizhou.

Let’s talk about power, it seems that it is still the same as before, and the military rewards are probably not even issued.

Li Cunju couldn't figure it out and subconsciously felt that even if he wanted to reduce, he shouldn't be at this time. Isn't it time to end his journey? Why bother?

"It's the Catching Life Army." Li Sien nodded with certainty and said, "When the Catching Life Army comes, they will probably be able to fight with the Xia people. It's difficult for us to mix the infantry and cavalry of our two armies."

"You said that, are you thinking..." Li Cunju asked uncertainly.

Li Sien was struggling for a while, then looked at Li Cunju's eyes and said, "The King of Jin ordered us to go south to rescue Cangzhou. Since this is the case, it would be better to collect food, grass, and military supplies, and rectify the troops and horses. You and I have joined forces with 13,000 troops, and there are 4,500 troops in Cangjing in the city, and 17,800 troops here. From the Lutai Army to Cangzhou, there must be Cangzhou martial arts. Let's gather along the way and recruit some Tutuan village men. If we can gather 30,000 to 40,000 people, we can meet the Xia thieves. The Xia thieves attacked the city and were trapped, and they were resentful, and there might be a chance."

Li Cunju was slightly hesitant.

"It's a rare opportunity!" Li Sien said anxiously.

After thinking for a while, Li Cunju said, "It's better to wait until the Catching Life Army arrives and persuade them to go south together. With the Catching Life Army, let's observe carefully behind us to see how many combat power is left in the Xia thief. If it really doesn't work, accelerate the south and kill him!"

Li Cunju's words were relatively safe, and he considered them in all aspects. Li Sien agreed and nodded, "Just do it like this. The fighter appeared but could not be caught. This is a mediocre person. The Catching Life Army acted as the vanguard, Jingsai, and the two Lu Long followed him, leaving behind the army, followed by layer by layer, supporting each other, and it was safer."

The two of them had a certain idea and no longer hesitated.

The entire army rested overnight that night. On the second day, they sent people and horses to collect food, carts, horses and mules, and Latin joined the army and acted as the military master.
Chapter completed!
