"光光光光光~" With the continuous shooting of the Musketeers, the Dangxiang cavalry that had just arrived fled again. Since the last time the Musketeers defeated Li Deming's army, the Dangxiang people have become afraid of the musketeers. No matter how much Li Yuanhao in the rear urges, few people dare to rush forward with bullets.

However, the number of musket troops is limited after all, and can only be arranged on the front. Both wings cannot be escorted with muskets. Therefore, at this time, the Dangxiang cavalry also came from the two wings. The Song army could only rely on traditional shield players and spearmen to guard against the impact of the cavalry.

Seeing that the front was unable to break through, Li Yuanhao also adjusted his battle formation and began to place his strength on both wings, which greatly increased the pressure on the Song army's wings. When Zhao Zhen mobilized the musket army to support, Dangxiang immediately attacked the front and almost broke through the Song army's defense line. When the musket army was transferred back, Dangxiang's cavalry ran to both wings. After all, the musket army was all infantry, and both legs must not be able to run four legs.

However, even so, Dangxiang still failed to break through the Song army's defense line. At this time, the two cavalry in the Dangxiang camp fought for a long time. At this time, the Dangxiang cavalry finally couldn't hold on. After all, Guo Zun was famous for his bravery. With him as the chief general, everyone took the lead. In addition, they burned Dangxiang camp, and at this time they were also very imposing, they actually killed the Dangxiang cavalry and retreated.

Seeing this situation, Li Yuanhao finally ordered the withdrawal of troops helplessly. Zhao Zhen originally wanted to take the opportunity to pursue him, but he did not expect that Li Yuanhao was still not at all confused when he retreated. In fact, the Dangxiang Cavalry was trained by Li Yuanhao to become an elite soldier. If they were allowed to win a few more battles, they would soon develop an invincible momentum. This is also the main reason why the Song Dynasty often suffered losses against the Shangdangxiang Cavalry in history.

Just as Li Yuanhao's army had just retreated, Guo Zun finally defeated Dangxiang's cavalry and came to help quickly. Unfortunately, Dangxiang's main force had already left the battlefield. After all, they were all cavalry, and they were like the wind. The infantry of the Song Dynasty could not stop the opponent at all. This was also the most disadvantage for infantry to face the cavalry. After all, the initiative is in the hands of others. If you want to fight, you can retreat. In comparison, the infantry is too passive.

However, although Li Yuanhao's main force retreated, the Song Dynasty achieved two major results this time. The first was that the main army safely crossed the Yellow River, and the second was that the cavalry led by Guo Zun burned down the Dangxiang camp, especially the second half of the camp where food and livestock were stored, which was completely destroyed. The fire has not yet been extinguished.

Therefore, Yuan Hao did not return to the camp when he retreated. On the one hand, most of the supplies tents in the camp were burned down and there was no need to go back. On the other hand, Guo Zun's elite cavalrymen, although they suffered a lot of losses, still have the ability to attack the main force of Dangxiang. If the main force of the Song army is pressing forward again at this time, it is likely that the collapse of the Dangxiang army will be caused.

"The last general Guo Zun handed over the order!" The heroic Guo Zun rode forward and came to Zhao Zhen to report loudly that his cavalry had lost more than half of his cavalry. After all, when he entered the camp, he encountered Dangxiang's defenders, and then another Dangxiang cavalry stopped them. It was not easy for them to win under the attack of both sides. Even the remaining cavalry were injured, and Guo Zun's whole body was stained with blood, including his own blood, but more of it was Dangxiang's blood.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Guo, this time you made your first contribution to the raid on the Party Xiang camp. Go back to the rear army to rest!" Zhao Zhen also stepped forward and patted Guo Zun on the shoulder and said.

In fact, when Guo Zun's cavalry was sent out, Zhao Zhen no longer had hope that they would come back alive. Guo Zun and others knew about it, so they almost left suicide notes when they left, because it was too dangerous to raid the rear camp of Dangxiang. If the main force of Dangxiang returned to the aid, they would almost die without death. However, they did not expect that Li Yuanhao would actually control the main force and not return to the aid. Although Zhao Zhen's plan to defeat the main force failed, Guo Zun and others came back alive.

Guo Zun immediately took the order to return to the rear army to rest and Zhao Zhen immediately commanded the army to enter the burned Dangxiang camp. The fire here had not yet been extinguished, and the extinguished place was almost burned to white ground. However, the location here was good, and Li Yuanhao had already retreated. In addition, it was too late, and the Song army suffered a lot of losses after this battle, so Zhao Zhen ordered a camp to rest and rest on the spot to treat the wounded.

However, that night, Li Yuanhao, who had retreated, suddenly led a cavalry to attack. Fortunately, Zhao Zhen was cautious in his use of troops, and even at this time, he still did not relax his vigilance. Finally, under his personal command, he finally drove Li Yuanhao's cavalry away. However, the Song army also suffered some losses, but it was still within the scope of his endurance. Moreover, Li Yuanhao was not feeling well. The cavalry attacked also suffered heavy losses. After these two battles, neither side gained any advantage.

The next morning, Zhao Zhen ordered the army to set out quickly to Xingzhou City, and Li Yuanhao's army retreated quickly. On the road, you can still see the traces left by the Dangxiang army when they retreated. After all, their camp was destroyed and there was no supply to replenish the materials at this time, so they could only return to Xingzhou City, and they had to rush to the front of the Song army. If the Song army besieged Xingzhou City, then the main force of Dangxiang could not enter the city and could only die of cold and starvation in the wild.

Of course, because most of the Song army is infantry, and most of the Dangxiang people are cavalry, as long as Li Yuanhao wants to retreat, the Song army cannot stop him. When the Song army came to the city of Xingzhou, Li Yuanhao's main force also retreated to the city. At the same time, the tribes outside the city were moved to the city. The Song army could hardly find anyone to understand the situation in Xingzhou. It seems that Li Yuanhao planned to fight the Song army to the end with Xingzhou City.

At the same time, after the burial of Liu E, Zhao Zhen led all officials back to Beijing and then announced the news that Empress Zhang was pregnant. As soon as this news came out, not only the court was in full swing, but also the people were talking about it. Many people thought this was a good thing, because the descendants of the emperor were not only related to the inheritance of the throne, but also to the stability of the world. For ordinary people, nothing is most important than the word "sanitary".

After Li Zhang came back, he was also paying attention to the actions of Zhao Zhen's army. When he learned that Zhao Zhen took advantage of the frozen Yellow River and burned Dangxiang's camp, he was also very excited about it. Although the two sides did not decide the outcome in that battle, in Li Zhang's view, it was already a huge victory to allow Li Yuanhao to send troops personally, and to destroy so many Dangxiang's materials.

However, Li Zhang was still happy for too long, and another heavy snow suddenly landed from the sky of the capital. The last time the snow had not melted, and the entire capital became covered in silver again. However, this made Li Zhang suddenly worried that there had been two heavy snow in the capital. If heavy snow fell in the northwest, it might have a serious impact on Zhao Zhen's logistics. .
