Chapter 7 Dragons Without Leaders
The war horses roared and blood splattered!
The officers, soldiers, cavalry and thieves depicted the paintings of the chaotic times in the late Ming Dynasty in the wilderness outside Huangzhuang in the most primitive and bloody way.
Luo Zhixue took Lin Yuer regardless of the situation and rode his horse to follow the thief cavalry to the south.
Soon, the officers and cavalry rushed to the leading Li Tonglin and his group, and soon rushed to the middle of the thief cavalry formation.
An official cavalry killed more than ten meters away from Luo Zhixue.
His long sword was still covered with blood, but soon the official cavalry was stopped by the thief cavalry on the periphery. The two of them intersected and saw the official cavalry screaming and rolling down from the horse's back. Although he rolled down from the horse's back, one foot was still on the stirrup.
The war horse dragged him on and continued, and the ground was covered with flesh and blood!
Luo Zhixue didn't have time to sigh, and he didn't even have time to be afraid of anything. He could only hold the reins with one hand and hold the long sword with the other, and continue to ride a horse with Sun Jian and others in front of him.
Because you will die if you don’t leave!
After running wildly for more than ten minutes, Luo Zhixue was free to look up at the surroundings!
After a brief look, I found that there were only about a hundred cavalry left in their group, and before the breakout, there were at least one hundred and fifty people in their group.
This means that in the battle just now, at least fifty people were killed or separated.
However, the official cavalry on the opposite side was actually not better. The official cavalry was also seriously injured when the two armies fought.
The fields behind were covered with casualties and war horses on both sides, and the wailing sounds spread throughout the mountains and fields!
After the previous rush, the official army was definitely not under the thief cavalry, otherwise the official army would not have stopped pursuing the pursuit after only a while, because they also suffered a lot of casualties.
This is a battle of losing both sides.
If these official cavalry want to continue pursuing, let alone whether the official army can catch up with them. Even if they can catch up, if they want to completely annihilate their thief cavalry, the official cavalry with only more than 100 people will probably be completely wiped out.
In fact, this is true. When the official cavalry first attacked, Chen Zhibang, the leading army, could still sit calmly on the horse's back and watch his cavalry launch an interception operation.
Although the bandit army was all cavalry, they were definitely not morale when attacked by their own side. They killed nearly 200 elite cavalry to intercept them. As long as the opponent was a little timid and gave in, their cavalry could block the opponent's escape momentum.
Next, they were killed with a large number of cannon fodder infantry.
If they really can't do it, they can hold them back, delay their escape speed, and finally wait for Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of elite cavalry to catch up.
But unexpectedly, the thief cavalry on the opposite side were so stubborn. They did not avoid or give in to the interception of their own cavalry, but chose to launch a charge and break through directly.
At this time, it was too late for Chen Zhibang to order the cavalry to avoid it.
Because at that time, the cavalry ranks on both sides had already collided and entered the hedge and fighting stage.
Not to mention Chen Zhibang in the rear, even the official cavalry in it could not change anything. If you don’t want to be stepped into a meat paste by the cavalry formation of the bandit army, you can only rush over with your teeth and rush over.
After the rush was completed, Chen Zhibang's heart was bleeding as he saw dozens of his cavalry missing!
One of his guerrillas even said directly: "General, this is not enough!"
"Then Tan Zhengling wanted to get promoted and make a fortune, but he made me wait for a lot of casualties. If he had finished all this, he would not replenish our food, grass, and war horses..."
The guerrillas did not continue to talk because Chen Zhibang had already made a black face and ordered: Mingjin to withdraw his troops!
He even fucked, dozens of personal soldiers were killed and injured, but they were all his personal soldiers!
Every bite of food they eat, every piece of armor they wear, and every knife they use was plundered by Chen Zhibang from all over the place.
If you continue to pursue and intercept, you may not be sure that the cavalry under him will be wiped out. Not only will the cavalry lose its mobility, but the court will not supplement him...
On the contrary, after losing these elite forces under his command, the court might have to dismiss his post and be imprisoned.
Chen Zhibang ordered the Jin to withdraw the troops, which made Tan Zhengling very dissatisfied. He came up and said a lot, saying that Chen Zhibang and others were not fighting effectively, so they must participate in their books.
Chen Zhibang was lazy to take care of him. If it weren't for the people here being too talkative, he would have been willing to draw his sword and cut him off, and he was given a name behind him who died at the hands of the thief army.
This man wanted to use his soldiers to earn credit, and he also made Chen Zhibang annoyed.
Fortunately, when cleaning the battlefield, the officers and soldiers found that they had killed the thief leader Li Tonglin, which made Tan Zhengling no longer talk. He turned around and happily asked someone to take Li Tonglin's body, and then he looked thoughtful, perhaps thinking about how to write a memorial to the victory.
Seeing this scene, Chen Zhibang became even more upset!
Damn, the battles were fought by the elite cavalry under his command, and Li Tonglin, the thief leader, was also killed by the cavalry under his command. Tan Zhengling just spoke a few words, and when he was fighting, he hid behind and came over slowly.
But in the end, Tan Zhengling directly took the head of the thief.
It is estimated that Tan Zhengling would only mention him Chen Zhibang in his subsequent memorials, but most of the credit was definitely occupied by Tan Zhengling himself.
This made Chen Zhibang very upset.
But he had no choice but to be unhappy. Who made him just a military general? Tan Zhengling was a civil servant, and there were so many people here.
At this time, Chen Zhibang had made up his mind to look for an opportunity to kill him, so that he would not only avoid this bastard from being in Ruzhou, but also caused a lot of trouble every day.
——
On the other end, Luo Zhixue took Lin Yuer and followed Sun Xue and the others to retreat all the way south. After half a day, he directly entered the mountains.
This made everyone feel relieved.
After entering the mountains, Luo Zhixue counted slightly and found that there were fewer remaining people, and now there are only more than seventy people left.
The dozens of people who were missing this time were not chased by the government troops, but fled on their own when they retreated.
After all, Li Tonglin was beheaded by the officers and soldiers. After losing Li Tonglin, the leader, the remaining thief soldiers were unhappy, and many people wanted to just run away independently.
Sun Cheng and several other leaders also frowned.
"No, if you continue like this, you will have to run away in two days." Fei Bingcai, one of the leaders of the thief army who spoke, was not handsome or tall, but his arms were bulging.
Luo Zhixue knew that Fei Bingcai was Li Tonglin's confidant, just like Sun Jian. In addition to more than a dozen cavalry under his command, he also managed hundreds of refugee soldiers. He can be regarded as one of the big leaders of this bandit army.
But now, the refugee soldiers under Fei Bingcai have been dismissed long ago, and even the more than ten cavalry under his command were killed and injured during the breakout period, and more than ten people fled.
Now there are only four or five confidants left by his side.
Fei Bingcai continued: "Who would have thought that those soldiers who were killed in heaven would go directly to our general? Now the general is dead at the hands of those soldiers. Everyone has no backbone, so it is difficult to avoid chaos."
Fei Bingcai said this and looked at Sun Zhi, then continued slowly: "Now, I think we still have to re-elect the general, so that everyone will lose their backbone and disperse directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong middle-aged man wearing leather armor, a hand-held knife with a knife on his face came over the side. After hearing Fei Bingcai's words, the scar man said loudly: "Brother Fei is right. Now it's messy. No one is taking care of this and something happens sooner or later."
While speaking, he had already walked to Sun Zhi and Fei Bingcai: "Now the general has gone, and Brother Wang San also encountered an accident with the general at that time. Now the situation is urgent, and I don't care much about Scar anymore. I am willing to take everyone to continue to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
As soon as these words were spoken, Fei Bingcai on the side suddenly turned dark and he stared at Scar with cold eyes: "Scar, what do you mean?"
Scar looked at him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Hmph, why, I Scar can't be the leader?"
As he said that, he turned his head: "I'm half a year older than you, I was a general of the Right Army before. Look at the scar on his face, which was left behind when everyone broke the back last year."
Then he put on his shirt again, pointed to a scar on his abdomen that was obviously Xinyu and said, "When I was surrounded by officers and soldiers three months ago, I was shot by arrows when I rushed out."
Scar stared at Fei Bingcai: "You said, can I be this leader?"
Fei Bingcai snorted coldly: "Everyone is doing business on the belt. If you take someone to rush, I won't rush with you? If you get hurt, you can only blame yourself for not being good at learning skills!"
"You..." Scar's face turned red when he heard this: "If you don't learn skills, say it again. If you have the ability to play two tricks with me, I want to see if you learn skills or not."
As the two of them were talking, several of their confidants behind them also became alert and had already pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife.
Luo Zhixue, who was standing by, frowned after seeing this scene.
How long will it take for their group to get rid of the officers and soldiers? It will take only one hour to die. Now the internal strife has begun?
Judging from the postures of Fei Bingcai and Scar, this is a direct movie!
Although he joined the thief army for a short time, he knew that Fei Bingcai and Scar had always been incompatible. When he was still resting in Yiyang, Luo Zhixue saw these two people having an argument many times.
Now, no one is convinced by the competition for the position of leader, and maybe they will fight!
Seeing this, Luo Zhixue involuntarily took two steps back, ready to leave this place of right and wrong at any time to avoid being affected by the fish in the pond.
At the same time, Luo Zhixue was also sighing: Li Tonglin died at the wrong time!
It doesn't matter if he dies himself. The problem is that Li Tonglin, as the only backbone of this thief army, suffered a death that left the remaining thief army without a leader, but there is not a strong enough person to convince the public to inherit the position.
If you do this, it takes only minutes to win the position of the film.
At this time, Luo Zhixue turned his head slightly and looked at Sun Zhi. He wanted to know how Sun Zhi responded at this time.
Before, Sun Cheng was Li Tonglin's confidant, and not only had a group of personal soldiers under his command, but also in charge of logistics supplies. Speaking of his status in this bandit army, his status is not inferior to Fei Bingcai and Scar. He is also qualified to compete for the position of leader.
However, Sun Cheng did not seem to pay attention to Fei Bingcai and Scar, but instead turned his head slightly to look at the cavalry who were leading horses in groups not far away.
There are currently more than 70 people in their remaining team, but in fact, Sun Jian, Fei Bingcai, Scar and the other three, and their respective confidants, are only more than 30 people.
The remaining forty cavalry were all Li Tonglin's personal soldiers in the past.
