The three thieves, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, are the three most closely organized among the thieves, among which Gao Yingxiang's troops have the strongest combat power.

The last time Zhao Yan's attack on Gao Yingxiang did not cause much loss of his backbone personnel. In the combat method where he could form a large team at any time, Gao Yingxiang's failure was a disaster. This time, it was a huge momentum. Zhang Xianzhong was the same, and the backbone personnel had never lost any losses. Li Zicheng was even more sloppy and ran away when he saw Zhao Yan last time.

These three bandits are the most difficult to deal with. They fought for seven or eight years in the Ming Dynasty. Their military qualities are no less than those of the government army, because most of the main troops of the bandits are from the government army.

In the prelude to the border rebellion, not only those military households considered abandoned, but some officers also joined the rebellion.

In order not to implicate their clan, they used nicknames to make the government unaware of their real names. The reason why these officers rebelled was because the court owed military pay.

They have more or less military literacy, and after so many years of roaming and fighting, the bandits of various troops have also realized their advantages.

That is the people and mobile warfare.

The reason why they cannot reach the southeast is because the people there are unwilling to cooperate. It is not their fertile land. Only the northwest and the Central Plains provinces are the most suitable areas for their survival.

However, this time Gao Yingxiang entered Henan, but found that the situation had changed differently from the past. The people in Henan generally had low positive surnames.

The more we go east, the more we go east, the more we are, the more we are, the richer the people are.

Henan, which has not been disturbed for two years and Zhao Yan has rescued the disaster, looks like a ripe peach, which looks mouth-watering, but unfortunately it is not easy to pick.

Gao Yingxiang's large group of troops had just arrived in Yuzhou and were heading towards Ye County, a army of three thousand people was blocked on the official road.

When Gao Yingxiang saw the soldier, his scalp became numb.

For nothing else, the equipment of this army is exactly the same as that of the Shandong Army. Judging from the flag, it is the inspection brigades traveling everywhere.

Gao Yingxiang is not unfamiliar with the inspection brigade. This is Zhao Yan's troops and horses. There are traces of them in various northern provinces. The soldiers of these inspection brigades are one man and two horses, and they have artillery. They are very powerful. The local bandits are no match for them at all.

I saw that the three thousand people were all sitting on war horses, all of which were covered with dark plate armor, flashing with cold and cold light. In this slightly hot early summer, the momentum was chilling.

run!

This was the first thought that flashed through Gao Yingxiang's mind, but after running like this, he would be like the experience he had experienced in eight years, and he would definitely become a loser.

There are only three thousand people in front of you!

Gao Yingxiang tried his best to cheer himself up, and suddenly made up his mind, immediately ordered the team to shrink and then start the formation.

The old and weak are in front, and there is a row of young and strong people behind. Then behind, there are tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen in his hands.

Being able to travel by horse is all the power of the young and strong.

This elite cavalry was brought by Gao Yingxiang from Shaanxi. It has always been a treasure in his hands and is rarely used to fight head-on with the official army. However, it is impossible to touch it at this time. Gao Yingxiang knew very well what the consequences of the defeat in front of the Shandong army.

However, just as Gao Yingxiang set up the formation, the two inspection brigades opposite were silent, quietly watching the thieves in the distance shouting to set up the formation.

When Gao Yingxiang set up his formation and the entire team pressed forward, the inspection brigade on the opposite side suddenly moved, and the three thousand cavalry directly divided into two teams, wandering along the left and right wings of the bandits.

However, just wandering, a chaotic situation appeared in the bandit formation, and Gao Yingxiang immediately ordered people to suppress the chaotic situation.

He only circled the two inspection teams around the bandits, and the bandits' elite cavalry did not dare to come out to fight at all. Gao Yingxiang was naturally there. His ten thousand elite cavalry were not even considered a scum in front of the Shandong cavalry. Giving them to the table was like delivering vegetables.

However, not allowing the elite cavalry to face the enemy is to be still harassed by the cavalry, which is very dangerous.

But strangely, the inspection team did not launch an attack without the cover of the bandits, but just slowly circled on both wings.

Because their attack was meaningless, with these 3,000 people, it is possible to defeat Gao Yingxiang, the bandit, but if the soldiers and civilians in the formation are snatched back, there will be a lack of manpower.

The bandit's elite cavalry hid in the formation, and the periphery was surrounded by a layer of people-seasoned shields composed of ordinary people. It was obviously very difficult for Shandong soldiers who had been indoctrinated with national thoughts.

Furthermore, their mission is only to delay the bandits entering Henan. The method of using cavalry to harass them is obviously the best. It is the ideal state to let Gao Yingxiang gather the troops together to defend.

"What do these Shandong soldiers want to do?" Gao Yingxiang looked at the cavalry wandering back and forth in confusion, and suddenly felt a sudden slap in his heart, thinking to himself: Is there any artillery?

But looking around, there was no trace of artillery, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Yingxiang was really scared by the artillery of the Shandong Army. The last time the artillery bombarded the elite cavalry of various coalition forces to kill tens of thousands of them in one fell swoop, which was definitely a nightmare existence.

The inspection brigade does not use artillery in normal combat, although they are equipped with artillery. Only when facing some bandits occupying fortifications will the artillery be mobilized to clear it out.

The two sides had been in a stalemate for nearly two hours. Seeing that it was not a solution, Gao Yingxiang had to transfer ten thousand elite cavalry out and order the brigade to continue moving forward.

As soon as the cavalry moved, the inspection brigade suddenly retreated.

...Night began to fall, Gao Yingxiang and a huge team of nearly 200,000 were resting directly on the official road. The thieves did not camp at night. There were so many people, and camping was very troublesome. No one would camp. The refugees who were like the sea of ​​people were their defense line.

The night is rarely dark unless it is dark clouds. And there are very few clouds on this night. Looking up at the sky, you can see the twinkling stars in the sky.

It was just like this that the inspection brigade emerged from the faint light. One thousand five hundred cavalry rushed directly into the bandits and rushed forward.

The bandits who were awakened by the sound of horse hooves in advance were hiding everywhere. In a short while, the entire bandit camp was awakened. When Gao Yingxiang came with his men, the 1,500 cavalrymen floated away like the wind.

You can only tactile at night, and it is impossible to defeat it. Because the place where Gao Yingxiang camped was a high ground, if the cavalry rushed up, the war horses would lose their strength.

When Gao Yingxiang fell asleep again, the 1,500 cavalrymen came back again, and another squirming, making the entire camp very noisy again.

Gao Yingxiang saw the tricks of these inspection brigades clearly and immediately sent the backbone out to let the people on the high ground sleep peacefully without caring about the refugees under the high ground.

The thieves often bring their families to their families, so they often need to protect the elderly and weak. However, before Gao Yingxiang's backbone troops entered Shanxi from Hequ, they had already lost most of their families.

For Gao Yingxiang, the elderly and weak are completely burdensome, but they cannot be abandoned blatantly. Moreover, when the backbone is not young, it is okay not to protect the elderly and weak.

The next day, the bandits set out again.

At this time, the cavalry of the inspection brigade appeared again, this time it was half less than yesterday's daytime, with only 1,500 people. Obviously, the other 1,500 people went to rest.

"Hmph! I thought about it and was too naive to think about it." After Gao Yingxiang penetrated the inspection brigade's intention, he sent out ten thousand elite cavalry and ordered the brigade to continue moving forward.

Gao Yingxiang thought that those Shandong soldiers faced ten times the enemy and did not dare to act rashly.

"Kill!" A commander in front drew his sabre and led forward.

Gao Yingxiang was wrong, but as soon as the ten thousand elite cavalry left the brigade, the 1,500 cavalry immediately launched a charge and rushed towards the bandit elite cavalry ten times their size.

The 1,500 cavalry were very neat, rushing towards the ten thousand bandits and elite cavalry like a torrent. The bandits and elite cavalry were instantly frightened by that momentum.

No one wants to become the cannon fodder ahead, and they all start dodging.

Xilulu!

As the war horses neighed, the cavalry in front raised their rifles and shot the bullets at the bandits in front. After the sound of stir-frying beans, a row of bandits fell from the horse.

"Boom..." The sound of horse hooves trampling from far to near, directly crashing into the bandit cavalry.

The melee began to unfold. The auditor, a dense formation, faced the loose bandit cavalry, occupied the advantage of the number of people in the local area. In addition, they were protected by plate armor, and were invincible. In less than half a minute, they cut off hundreds of bandits and broke through the bandits' formation.

The inspectors quickly started to form a team, and at an incredible speed, they arranged in neat formations again, and rushed towards the bandit cavalry again.

Some thieves also howled and drove their horses forward. This seemed to arouse some fighting spirit, and the thieves behind rushed forward without any fear.

They think that they have tens of thousands of people, and victory is absolutely true, but don’t let yourself be the price of victory. Therefore, the positive behind the scenes are a little timid.

The two sides collided again, and the melee began again.

The sharp blade cut off the thieves one by one, but the thieves seemed to be chopping on iron lumps. The weapons of various quality in their hands were difficult to cause any damage to these auditors.

However, the thief cavalry who could not see clearly the situation behind also surrounded him, and the 1,500 inspectors were surrounded by them for a moment.

All the auditors were slashing and killing wildly. The well-crafted steel knife cut out one hole after another. After killing more than a dozen people, the auditors in front finally rushed out. When they opened the hole, they were like a flood discharge. One thousand five hundred auditors expanded the hole and then rushed out.

And on that passage, there were robber's corpses everywhere.

The inspection team that rushed out stopped a hundred meters away and started to rectify again. However, the bandit cavalry a hundred meters away was very scared and no one wanted to step forward.

An army without faith, everyone is afraid of death.

Gao Yingxiang's troops were far from the same level as Li Zicheng in the later period. Even if Li Zicheng shouted the slogan of equalizing the land, his beliefs were not very strong.

If we say that the strongest belief in this type of army is the G Party in later generations.

After the inspection team was completed, they slowly retreated because their horsepower was no longer enough and they had to go back to change horses and fight again.

They must carry out the stuttering to the end, and it is frequent and uninterrupted stuttering!
Chapter completed!
