The rumbling sound of horse hooves is like a huge war drum, hitting people's hearts.

Tens of thousands of people from Li Zicheng and other troops were deployed as the general reserve team at the last two miles away from Qingbo Gate. They were the general reserve team and also as a deterrent force in Li Zicheng's hands.

Please remember that the deterrence mentioned here refers not only to the officials and soldiers of the court, but also to Liu Zongmin, Yuan Zongdi and others. Not only Li Zicheng understands this, but Liu Zongmin and others also know it well.

In fact, in another historical time and space, the relationship between Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin and other former generals was not so harmonious. After conquering Beijing City, Li Zicheng established the Dashun Dynasty. However, within a few days of good days, Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Shanhaiguan, rebelled, on the grounds that Liu Zongmin stole his concubine Chen Yuanyuan.

Li Zicheng, who was full of energy, was annoyed when he heard this. He could never bear such a thing, and he beat him up.

So he told Liu Zongmin that the matter was caused by you, so you have to settle this matter yourself. This time you lead your army to fight. I am the emperor and have to be in charge of the capital.

Liu Zongmin stopped doing it as soon as he heard this and started shouting on the spot.

Although you are the emperor now, it seems like you are five or six, but who still doesn’t know who.

I miss you, Li Zicheng, is just a postman (postman). I am a blacksmith at least. No one is more noble than anyone else. This country was won by a big guy. Why did you ask me to fight the thunder alone when something happened now? You are drinking here while sleeping with Emperor Chongzhen's woman? If you want to go, everyone will go together, otherwise no one will go!

Although Li Zicheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth when Liu Zongmin made such a fuss, he had no choice. At that time, Liu Zongmin had already gained wings. Not only was he very prestigious in the Dashun army, but he also had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. If it really happened, the Dashun Dynasty, which had finally been established, would probably fall apart overnight.

Under such circumstances, Li Zicheng had no choice but to lead an army of 100,000 out of Beijing City to fight against Wu Sangui. In the end, Wu Sangui and Dorgon joined forces and fled back to Beijing City in shame.

In fact, until the troops were sent, Li Zicheng and his generals of the Dashun Army were not prepared for the Qing army to enter the pass to assist in the war. In their minds, the Ming Dynasty was the matter of the "former dynasty". They did not have any evil with the Qing side. They could not violate the rivers and live their own life with peace of mind.

From this we can see that Li Zicheng and his officials of the Dashun Dynasty were not only short-sighted, but also regarded the change of dynasties and the relationship between countries as house plays. At the same time, they also lacked the experience of fighting against the Qing cavalry. How could they be defeated?

In this suspicious atmosphere, the five thousand cavalry led by Cao Yingmao entered Li Zicheng's main formation at a speed of lightning speed. At this time, Li Zicheng's main formation had not even had time to set up the formation.

"kill……"

Cao Yingmao took the lead in breaking into the bandits' formation. The long sword in his right hand slid from bottom to top, and a huge head flew into the air. At the same time, the war horse under his crotch also knocked a bandit who was blocking in front of him and couldn't dodge several meters away.

"Stop them, don't let them rush over!"

Li Zicheng, who was hurriedly commanding the soldiers to form a formation, his eyes turned red with anxiety. He knew very well that although he had 40,000 troops under his command, if these Ming cavalry rushed into his original formation, his 40,000 troops might repeat the collapse of the 200,000 troops in Mengjindu were defeated.

He pulled the collar of a general's clothes and shouted loudly: "Liu Liang, lead the Lao Eighth Camp to stop the Ming army. You must not let them break through our own formation, otherwise it will be all over!"

Lao Eighth Battalion is a cavalry unit built by Li Zicheng for a lot of effort. This unit has a total of 3,000 people. The members are either experienced bandits or robbers with high martial arts skills and fearlessness. On weekdays, the support of this unit is the best, and this team will not be used easily, but once it is used, it proves that the matter has reached an emergency moment.

After receiving the order, Liu Liang led the Eighth Battalion to rush towards Cao Yingmao and others, and soon the two cavalry bumped head-on.

Cao Yingmao had long seen the oncoming enemy troops, raised his arm high and shouted, "Push gun is ready!"

Accompanied by the sound of Cao Yingji, the cavalrymen who were charging took out three-eyed guns from their waists. When the distance between the two sides was closer to twenty or thirty meters, the cavalrymen who rushed in front pulled the trigger one after another.

"Open fire!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The fire and guns were heard. In the chaos, dozens of bandits and cavalrymen in the front screamed and fell from their horses.

Although the shot downed cavalry fell off the horse, the cavalry behind were still rushing forward. At this time, another voice came from behind and said, "Throw thousands of enemies, thousands of enemies!"

As the words fell, another raindrop-like iron lump was thrown.

After the sound of the musket, there was another explosion of thousands of enemies. The smoke filled the ears with the frightened neighing of war horses, the screams of their companions before death, and the many crazy horses around them jumped around.

The cavalry of the Old Eighth Battalion were all stunned. The bandits and outlaws who Li Zicheng spent a lot of effort to collect can be said to be killing without blinking, but these heroes from the martial arts world who had never experienced or rarely experienced firearms were quickly collapsed under the blows of shrapnel and lead bullets everywhere.

In the hot sun, the choking smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the pungent smell of blood and inhaled into the lungs, even the strongest person feels difficult to breathe.

The smoke rising around makes the faces of the people around you appear faintly. These "heroes" are either panic, fearful, running on horseback, or are confused and dull. All sentient beings are visible on the battlefield.

As a brigade of the Old Eighth Camp, Liu Liangpingming urged everyone to rush forward, but the battlefield was already in chaos at this moment, and no matter how loud he shouted, it would be useless.

Liu Liang tried hard to calm himself down. He looked around in a daze and found that the line that was still in a very neat way just now had already become a mess, with smoke everywhere, and the sound of muskets and explosions.

There were still voices of our own personnel around, but amid the noise, Liu Liang could not hear clearly what they were saying.

Just next to him, a cavalry next to him shot a lead shot into the jaw. The entire jaw of the cavalry was smashed. He fell off his horse and rolled on the ground in pain, making a meaningless scream in his mouth.
