At this time, Li Zicheng continued to speak to the people around him.
"Since the prince is ready to attack Huaiqing Mansion! Just in time, we simply took his retreat! Zong Min led the cavalry to support Li Guo, and we directly led the troops and occupied Shunde Mansion! Hahaha!"
"This is a wonderful move!"
Niu Jinxing next to him heard Li Zicheng's words and suddenly smiled on his face.
"Okay! Get the whole army ready! We will lead an army of 80,000 this time! I will lead the team myself! We will directly steal the retreat of Prince Huang Ming!"
Following Li Zicheng's order, the entire camp of intruders quickly began to move quickly.
To support this kind of thing, it is better to support this matter sooner rather than later. Liu Zongmin quickly led 10,000 light cavalry and set off directly. He only brought enough food and water for three to five days, and did not bring any heavy equipment. He was traveling lightly.
He quickly started to rush towards Huaiqing Mansion.
Actions are always faster than the last.
After a day and night of fighting, Huang Degong had arrived around Huaiqing Mansion with an army of more than 30,000 people.
Li Guo of Huaiqing Mansion also received a report from Tan Ma.
"Huang Degong's 30,000 troops??"
Li Guo frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the officers and soldiers could actually go out of the city to fight. That would be a bit troublesome! Looking at the Huaiqing Mansion in front of him, it seemed that it could be captured.
but now……
"withdraw!"
He is also a decisive person. His troops have just attacked the city and are already exhausted. Although Huang Degong's army rushing in the opposite direction must also be exhausted.
But my condition should be better than what I am now!
"Evacuate to Pingyang Mansion."
Li Guo was very decisive and gave orders directly to the soldiers around him.
But those soldiers who were still entangled with the city wall obviously had no way to get out of the battle quickly. It was never that simple to retreat.
Especially when a siege has begun, retreating is sometimes a luxury.
"kill!!!"
When Huang Degong saw the bandits who were still attacking the city, he gave the order directly without any nonsense.
"Get in shape and retreat!"
Li Guo still maintained his composure and began to compress the formation. The entangled soldiers on the city wall died quickly without any drag, and everyone began to retreat back.
Of the two armies, one began to withdraw and the other began to flee.
And the other side.
The 10,000 light cavalry led by the lightly-armed Liu Zongmin finally arrived at a long gorge in the Taihang Mountains.
"Attention alert!"
Looking at the mountain gorge in front of him, Liu Zongmin's expression became slightly serious. Liu Zongmin knew very well that this kind of place was the easiest place to set up an ambush.
But right now, there seems to be no chance to be picky. If we need to take a detour at this time, it will obviously be too late to rescue Li Guo!
Li Guo is the king's nephew!
And he still has 20,000 to 30,000 elite men under his command!
If these people are eaten, it will be a major blow to our own forces.
There is no way! Now I can only bite the bullet and rush over!
"Rush over!"
Liu Zongmin shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.
"Da da da!"
All the horses galloped towards the end of the canyon in an instant.
But soon, a huge boulder fell down in front, killing a man and a horse instantly.
"Keep rushing!"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Liu Zongmin did not ask the army to stop, but continued to shout loudly to the surrounding soldiers.
The horses continued to rush forward.
Above the canyon, rocks continued to fall, killing the intruders and cavalry one by one.
Fortunately, there are no cranes or the like now, and there are no rocks that are huge enough to block the way forward.
Although there are some blocking stones made of gravel, they can be easily crossed by horses.
Stones, flying arrows and rolling logs kept falling from the sky.
The cavalrymen died one by one.
Liu Zongmin couldn't care less at this time, because now he had to rush out of this canyon, and only by rushing out could casualties be reduced!
Thousands of horses galloped, but the canyon, which was only more than ten meters wide, was completely occupied by war horses at this time. The soldiers on the cliff did not need to specifically aim at anything.
You only need to quickly throw the rolling stones and logs prepared next to you, and these rolling stones and logs can easily kill each soldier.
Some soldiers were not killed, but were knocked to the ground by hammers, but they were soon trampled into pulp by the cavalry behind them.
The scene was very heroic.
"Da da da!"
However, the time it takes a horse to rush through a canyon hundreds of meters long at full speed is no more than half a stick of incense.
But to Liu Zongmin and his cavalry, it seemed like a year had passed.
When Liu Zongmin rushed out of the mountains with his cavalry.
Before Liu Zongmin could be happy, he saw a neat army appearing in front of him.
"kill!"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Liu Zongmin's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he directly ordered to the soldiers around him.
Thousands of cavalry were like a stream of iron, rushing directly towards the troops of Lin Yi and General Liu on the side.
"Bang bang bang!"
The troops in front of Generals Lin Yi and Liu Shen began to fire cannons at the cavalry.
After the cavalry fell one by one.
A trip rope suddenly appeared next to him, and the horses kept falling.
He looked at the cavalry getting closer and closer to him.
The expressions of Lin Yi and General Liu suddenly became serious.
"withstand!!!"
The two drank towards the soldiers beside them.
"kill!"
Lin Yi looked ferocious and shouted to the surrounding soldiers.
"kill!!!!"
The surrounding soldiers also raised their swords and shouted loudly.
At this time, Liu Zongmin had already led the remaining cavalry into the military formation.
What followed was a bloody scene like a meat grinder. Liu Zongmin originally thought that the cavalry rushed into the infantry battle formation, and the scene of random killing did not appear.
Instead, their progress was instantly blocked. Many cavalrymen had their legs cut off and fell to the ground. They were instantly stabbed to death by several spears nearby.
But cavalry is still cavalry after all. The infantry can only block the huge kinetic energy of the horses rushing over with their bodies and shields.
The troops of Lin Yi and General Liu soon suffered casualties.
Once the impact of the cavalry is slowed down by the infantry, there is only a dead end.
The two sides were engaged in a fierce stranglehold. The kinetic energy of the cavalry took away the lives of many soldiers during the first wave of impact, but it did not directly break through the military formation.
On the contrary, it makes oneself fall into the quagmire of passivity.
Soon, countless cavalrymen were knocked off their horses and hacked to death with random swords.
Liu Zongmin's expression changed drastically as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"withdraw!"
He didn't hesitate, and quickly signaled a retreat, calling for gold to withdraw his troops!
The remaining cavalrymen began to turn around and continued to rush towards the canyon on the side.
Watching the cavalry retreat, the infantry was naturally unable to pursue them, but the firecrackers behind them continued to fire cannons at the fleeing cavalry in front of them.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
One by one, the intruder cavalry fell down.
When they entered the canyon, the mountains on both sides were still filled with rolling stones and trees, and hundreds of corpses were taken away!
When Liu Zongmin rushed out of the canyon, Liu Zongmin took the horse and ran more than ten kilometers away.
