Chapter 165 Border Army (True Four)

Because "Purple Gold Liang" was very grateful to Zhang Shun for his support this time, he specially arranged Zhang Shun on the right hillside; and Xing Honglang was arranged on the left hillside. It seemed that there was not much difference between the troops on the left and right sides, but in fact, because most people are used to using their right hands, it is more convenient to attack the opponent from the right side.

Especially cavalry shooters usually hold a bow in their left hand and arrows in their right hand, which facilitates shooting forward and left side, but cannot shoot on the right side. People who can shoot left and right are basically all skilled in martial arts, and can even be recorded in history books.

For example, Xiong Tingbi, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, recorded in his later history books that "has courageous and knows soldiers and is good at shooting left and right." Since Zhang Shun was born, he has seen his wife, Hong Niang, who can shoot left and right in his two lives together. In addition, none of his many masters can practice this archery technique. From this point of view alone, we can know how much advantage the right side has compared to the left side.

After waiting for a long time, Zhang Shun and the others heard a burst of noise. Zhang Shun pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and it was all crying and howling. At this time, Zhang Shun looked from afar and saw dozens of cavalry running over first.

When the dozens of riders approached, they saw that they were in a mess. The "Nine Dragons" and others. The "Nine Dragons" had two arrows on their backs, but seeing his lively look, they must have been shot deep and blocked by the armor.

After the "Nine Dragons" and others ran over, Zhang Shun turned around and saw the rebels who were desperately fleeing from a distance. They were like flocks of sheep being driven, and several people were chopped down from time to time by the cavalry next to them. This was still where Zhang Shun's eyes were visible. I don't know how many people were killed by the official cavalry on the spot, and they were extremely miserable. They used their already hoarse throats, cried desperately, and fled desperately!

Zhang Shun stood on the mountain and breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that the person being chased was not himself or his subordinates.

The cavalry chasing the rebels were somewhat hesitant to see the terrain between the two mountains in front. However, when they saw the rebels running between the two mountains, they did not want to give up such credit.

He was already a little hesitant, but he became lucky. They looked at the defeated "bandits" and looked down on their combat effectiveness even more. These people were just walking with two feet of money. The Ming army used their heads to calculate their merits, and a heads to a few taels of silver. The officers and soldiers did not want to give up the opportunity to make money. So, they did not stop and greed drove them to chase them again.

Zhang Shun and the others hid behind the top of the mountain and just avoided the sight of the officers and soldiers. When they saw the officers and soldiers chasing them again, they breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the cooked ducks would fly away and it would be difficult to deal with the officers and soldiers later.

The two thousand cavalry had just caught up quickly and cut off a few rebels who were falling behind. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the left and right, they breathed a sigh of relief and were about to rush out of the narrow terrain. As a result, only a cannon sound was heard, and a fighting sound was heard on the left and right.

When the officers and soldiers looked up, they found that the black cavalry on both sides rushed over with one horse. It turned out that the "Purple Gold Liang" was afraid that the officers and soldiers' cavalry would be too fast and they lost the opportunity. So they hid more than a thousand elite cavalry under their command on the left and right sides. As soon as the rebels rushed over, they released the cavalry and blocked the way for the officers and soldiers to advance first. The remaining infantry would follow in time and prepare to completely block the exit of the valley.

As soon as the group of officers and soldiers were ambushed, they quickly pulled their horses and retreated, not wanting to get entangled with the "Zijinliang" team. However, there was no time? Since they entered the encirclement, Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang team secretly walked around the back of the mountain, preparing to cut off their retreat.

The battle between the "Purple Jinliang" tribe sounded, and Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang hurriedly sent their cavalry to cut off their way back.

Because of the last battle with the officers and soldiers, Chen Changye was exhausted and unable to enter the formation. This time, Zhang Shun simply handed over the 200 cavalry under Chen Changye's command to Liu Cheng, and asked him to lead the 700 cavalry to directly cut off the officers and soldiers' retreat.

Then, the four hundred sprinters of Zhang Sanbai and Wei Congyi's troops followed Liu Cheng. It turned out that in the last battle of Lingchuan, the two performed well, cooperated well, and had a ruthless force in the battle, which was suitable for interception. Zhang asked them to go out to practice.

Zhang Shun, with two hundred cavalry guards and Jiang He, Li Ji met 400 people, and Li Shi'an was over the hillside. As for Xu Ziyuan, more than a hundred people, Li Sanniang, Zhang Shenyan and others, they hid in a safe place elsewhere, waiting for the battle to end.

"Purple Golden Liang", Zhang Shun, Xing Honglang and others, this plan was decided to be a good idea, and a battle would be enough to eliminate these more than 2,000 people. As a result, it was unexpected that the fight between the two sides was not as expected.

More than a thousand cavalry under the command of "Zijinliang" were considered elite, occupying favorable terrain, and rushed up to fight with these border riders, and found that they could not take advantage of it at all. Fortunately, these people were originally cavalry from the Yansui border army and guards. They knew the methods of both sides.

"Zijinliang" under his command knew that "catching big fish" was difficult to eat in one breath, so he was not very worried. Just after a while, the "Zijinliang" infantry caught up, and three or four thousand infantrymen blocked the intersection. Unless these two thousand officers and soldiers had wings, it would be better to fly by!

However, Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang suffered a lot of losses. Liu Cheng and his men were okay. They were also following the "Eight Kings" Yansui cavalry, and they were not afraid of the official cavalry of the same origin. However, the level of the Song Tong Yin guards who surrendered was much worse. When they were hedging with the other party, they were completely at a disadvantage.

Zhang Shun was better, at least he blocked the officers and soldiers who were fleeing. Although Xing Honglang was also from the border, he was surrounded by the officers and soldiers and reported the losses of the cavalry around him, and only more than 300 cavalry were under his command, and the rest were infantry.

This time, Xing Honglang personally led more than 300 cavalry to block the road, but the number of people was fewer than the opponent's officers and soldiers. If one accidentally caused the officers and soldiers to rush out, there were many people. Fortunately, Zhang Sanbai, Wei Congyi and Xing Honglang's infantry arrived in time, and barely blocked the intersection.

At this time, there were four or five hundred officials who escaped. After they escaped, they not only did not leave, but instead wandered behind the rebels, forcing the rebels to turn around and be wary of the attacks of the cavalry.

Originally, the rebel forces that surrounded the officers and soldiers in the valley were quite barely strong. If this group of cavalry charges, it would be possible that Zhang Shun and Xing Honglang's main forces would be surrounded and killed by the other party.

The situation was so urgent that Xing Honglang, who had personally joined forces to encircle the officers and soldiers in the valley. Zhang Shun had no choice but to grit his teeth and personally lead the cavalry, Jiang He and Li Jiyu's troops to support him.

Since Zhang Shun started his army, he has experienced many big and big wars. He is not a rookie who has never been on the battlefield. However, it is the first time to fight with others in person like now. However, now he has to be on the string, so he has to bite the bullet and go into battle.
