"kill!"

Zhou Shixian suddenly pulled out the Qi Dao from his waist, clamped his legs hard, and rushed forward with a roar.

The five personal guards around him also quickly followed and soon surrounded him on his left and right.

Of course Zhou Shixian knew this would happen. Before the critical moment, it was not the time for him to charge into battle and risk his life to boost his morale. But he still had to look like it. Fighting on the battlefield was the key to him shaping his heroic image and establishing his prestige.

More than sixty cavalrymen rushed out of the thick white smoke on both sides of the Ming army's formation. The armor leaves on their bodies rubbed and collided with the bumps of the horses, making a "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound, mixed with the noisy shouts of killing.

, amid the sound of horse hooves.

Pang Lun saw that he had been charging into battle just now, but now his army was completely defeated. His troops and horses were completely unrestrained, and he was in a dilemma.

If even he retreats at this time, then this army of more than 700 people will be completely irreparable, and the "hero" he thinks he is will completely become a joke.

The two armies haven't officially fought yet, but they were beaten several times by arrows and muskets, and they were defeated like a mountain. How dare you call yourself a hero at this level?

But if he did not retreat, I am afraid that even the hundred or so soldiers who obeyed his orders would be scattered by the defeated troops in front, and finally be killed wantonly by the Ming cavalry rushing from the opposite side.

These soldiers and horses were the basis for his foothold. Pang Lun did not want to waste any of them, and he had no confidence that he could stop those defeated troops.

After all, how could the other soldiers under his command listen to him at this time? The soldiers who were originally led by him had already exploded into countless small groups with their respective troops.

, fled for his life.

If one of the soldiers had not collapsed first, the entire military formation would not be in the current situation. And this was a repeat of the countless defeats of the Ming army in the decades of Ming and Qing wars.

It can only be said that Pang Lun wanted to regroup his troops, but no one listened to him except for the hundreds of soldiers who had not yet entered the battlefield except his own troops.

Just when Pang Lun was hesitant, Sun Hu and Weng Dajie, who had just cupped their hands and clasped their fists, swallowing their anger, gave him the final blow.

The two returned to the camp, gathered their troops, and then each led more than two hundred soldiers under their command to the two wings of the battlefield. They originally thought that Pang Lun would win with a high probability, and they were still thinking about how to please the other party.

However, the battlefield situation was completely beyond their expectations. Who would have thought that the young prince-in-law could actually defeat an enemy three times his size with only three hundred soldiers and horses?

Zhou Shixian naturally did not tell them about the existence of the Holy Master. He only said that he was following the order of Emperor Chongzhen to lead the army to protect the imperial envoy Li Banghua.

Although the two of them felt strange, they didn't think much about it. Instead, they felt that how could such a young and immature child lead an army? But when they saw Xue Laoer, Zhang Hong, and Wu Xingye respectfully stood in front of the consort,

, and dare not underestimate the other party.

Because their intuition from many years of being in the military camp told them that it was definitely not easy for this person to win the obedience of several powerful generals!

In fact, the reason why they did not unite with Pang Lun early in the morning and attack from a three-armed attack was because of this concern - in the army, only the strong will always be obeyed!

At this time, the two people who reacted quickly saw that Pang Lun's side had been defeated before they formally engaged in the battle. They were horrified that the young prince consort was so good at fighting, and they quickly howled and started their troops.

Horse, prepare to intercept this defeated army.

Seeing Sun Hu and Weng Dajie who had already led the troops towards him, Pang Lun was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he did not dare to stay any longer. He immediately turned his horse around and led his troops to retreat from the battlefield.

As the saying goes, "the wall falls and everyone pushes it", if Zhou Shi was victorious, Pang Lun would have to be attacked by the other four groups of soldiers and horses, and vice versa. This is the current world, no one cares about right or wrong, everyone only cares about life and death.

Sun Hu and Weng Dajie were both extremely brave and loyal at this time. They personally led the charge into the battle and attacked Pang Lun's rebel army from three sides with the 150 escorting soldiers led by Xue Laoer and Zhang Hong.

In this way, the forces of both sides were evenly matched. Under the joint killing of the three parties, Pang Lun's soldiers and horses were quickly killed by more than 200 people. Except for a few who escaped by chance, most of the remaining soldiers and horses were killed.

Some chose to surrender and survive. Their fighting will was not strong to begin with.

However, Pang Lun and his cronies took advantage of the chaos to evacuate the battlefield. Zhou Shixian was worried that splitting up his troops to pursue the pursuit would lead to an eternal emptiness. Moreover, he had to go south quickly and could not stay any longer to avoid being overtaken by the Shun army, so he did not let Xue Lao

Second, Zhang Hong led his troops to pursue the victory.

"The last general, Sun Hu, and the last general, Weng Dajie, pay homage to the consort and pay homage to the imperial envoy!" Sun Hu and Weng Dajie had already climbed onto the tower in Yongqing County and saluted respectfully in front of Zhou Shixian and Li Banghua.

In this battle, Zhou Shixian's side only suffered less than ten casualties, and six others were slightly injured. However, with the assistance of Sun Hu and Weng Dajie, they killed more than 300 rebel troops and captured nearly 500 rebel soldiers. It can be said that "big

Achieve complete victory."

Seeing such a casualty ratio, Sun Hu and Weng Dajie didn't dare to have any evil thoughts. At this time, they were only thinking about how to follow Zhou Shixian south and get a good settlement.

Of course they knew that this was the result of the equipment gap. If Pang Lun's soldiers and horses could also have such equipment, they might not lose so miserably, but there was no problem!

Since you can't beat them, of course you have to join, and you can get military pay and food!

Moreover, at this time, these two veterans, Youzi, couldn't tell who among the two people, Zhou Shixian and Li Banghua, standing in front of them, was the one who really meant what he said?

Therefore, the first person to meet was the prince-in-law, and then the imperial envoy.

Zhou Shixian naturally had to pull some strings at this time, and even pretended not to know what they and Pang Lun were doing. Anyway, he was just guessing.

On top of the building, Sun Hu and Weng Dajie finally relaxed after being questioned and praised by Zhou Shixian.

Zhou Shixian did not let them enter the city, but asked them to immediately reorganize their troops and horses. The imperial envoy team would set off south first. After they distributed food, they had to follow them immediately. After arriving in Dacheng County, they would be given another year's military pay.

At the same time, Zhou Shixian did not forget to warn the two men not to attack Yongqing and plunder the people, and not to rush to the city later than tomorrow evening, otherwise what awaits them will not be military pay, but punishment.

Of course, with the two troops and horses, plus the other two military leaders who are now trembling and waiting under the city, the four troops always need to have competition, so that they can restrain and deter each other. Zhou Shixian also

Only then can we take advantage of the situation to establish our authority.

After Sun Hu and Weng Dajie went down to the city, Zhou Shixian allowed the other two military leaders who had been waiting in the cold wind for half an hour to board the city.

However, before the two people went up to the tower, they had already heard from Sun Hu and Weng Dajie. As soon as they saw Zhou Shixian, they immediately knelt down and saluted:
Chapter completed!
