Chapter 689: Offensive

After Emperor Aoki said that, he continued to lead the team to gallop.

Zhang Jingyi followed suit. I have to say that Emperor Tianqi's riding skills were very exquisite.

As he walked along, Zhang Jingyi was in a very embarrassing state.

In the evening, he set up camp, but Emperor Tianqi was still in a good mood. He summoned Zhang Jingyi to the tent and looked up at Zhang Jingyi and said, "Zhang Qing, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have gathered more than 200,000 people this time. Now they are all in the capital. After passing Handan, it is the hinterland of Beizhili. At the foot of the emperor, the capital of the capital, once they go over, they will suffer heavy losses."

Obviously, at this time, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

I would have known that I wouldn't let Zhang Xianzhong go.

Zhang Jingyi smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, why don't you let me attack first tomorrow?"

"What?"

Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi in surprise and continued, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "I want to try it out, how powerful the bandits are."

Emperor Aoki looked at Zhang Jingyi incredibly: "Just use these cavalry?"

Zhang Jingyi said confidently: "Yes, just use these cavalry."

In the past, Emperor Apocalypse was reckless, but this time, Zhang Jingyi was even more reckless than him.

Emperor Tianqi immediately shook his head and said, "The thief is very powerful, so don't underestimate it. We caught them off guard before, and these people have not seen the power of firearms, so they can only fight in one battle. But you must not be complacent. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Even if Zhang Qing is arrogant, he must not treat them as a mob."

After running for a day, everyone was tired, so they went to bed that night.

The next morning, it was dawn, and smoke had already grown in the camp. After eating breakfast, everyone got on the horse.

At this time, someone hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, a large number of thieves have appeared four or five miles ahead."

After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi said, "Do they also march at night? Why are there no one patrolling at night and not reporting?"

"At night, someone has noticed the movements of the bandits, but Your Majesty was already asleep at that time. My teacher... He received the report and said there is no need to hurry. If you look at it at any time, it is because most of the bandits are blind at night and there is no movement at night."

Emperor Tianqi was speechless for a moment. He suddenly realized that Zhang Jingyi, who had always been cautious, had become bolder now.

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but wave to Zhang Jing in the distance. As soon as Zhang Jing came over, Emperor Tianqi said, "This is not the case. When fighting against the enemy, of course you have to be reckless, because you don't burn your boats to win. But before the war, you have to be more cautious than anyone else, and know yourself and your enemy... Zhang Qing, get on the horse. It seems that you can't stay here for a long time. Once you are surrounded, it will be inappropriate."

So everyone got on the horse.

After two or three miles away, I saw bandits everywhere nearby.

These bandits didn't know whether they were their central army, their left and right wings, or their vanguards, but they were everywhere in the mountains and fields.

Some were in groups of three or five, while others were in a neat team, with hundreds or thousands of people marching with weapons.

After suffering from a bandit, Emperor Tianqi's cavalry immediately sharpened his sword and stood on horseback, but he was not afraid of danger.

Emperor Tianqi said immediately: "It seems that most of the thief army is not far away. Quickly disperse them and then go back to Handan. It is not advisable to stay for a long time."

So the cavalry immediately began to set up their formation, pulling out sharp sabers from their waists. The best horses they chose, and the swords used in their hands were all made of stainless steel.

The only thing that is the same as other Donglin Jun is this coat.

In fact, wearing coats is not for the sake of unity, but everyone has found that such cotton coats are natural cotton armor. They are much lighter than those iron armor and are not heavy in their wear, which just conforms to the concept of maneuvering first in light riding.

Moreover, its protection is not under the ordinary cotton armor, especially in this era, when most of their enemy weapons are relatively crude and not sharp enough swords cannot penetrate such a coat.

The principle here is that as long as I wear thick enough, they will not be able to break my defense.

"Zhang Qing, you are not good at equestrianism. I will take the people behind the palace here. I will take people to rush." ​​Emperor Tianqi also pulled out his knife at this time, with a very serious expression.

After saying that, he shouted, "Come with me!"

After giving the order, thousands of horses began to get restless, and everyone slowly rode their horses and trotted.

Then, Emperor Tianqi shouted: "Kill!"

So, the cavalry commanders holding bamboo whistles in the team blew sharp bamboo whistles one after another.

With the whistle sounded, thousands of cavalry rushed head-on like a whirlwind.

The team of people in front was scattered, but there were more than 2,000 people.

The bandits are not marching together, but hundreds of thousands of people are gathering together to act.

Instead, some people are faster, some are slower, hundreds of thousands of people, maybe they are spread across dozens of miles.

This group is obviously the best among the bandits. They have better physical strength, otherwise they would not be faster than other bandits.

Of course, this group of people was also temporarily pieced together, with hundreds of subordinates of Li Zicheng's old camp, and thousands of other miscellaneous fish bandits.

Another mixed-up of Zhang Xianzhong's people.

The reason why Zhang Xianzhong's men are also among them is that everyone thinks that although Zhang Xianzhong is a defeated general, he has been here once after all. He is familiar with the path here. They are very clear about where there are water wells nearby, where there are ancient temples, and how the official army is deployed.

And Zhou Qiba is among them.

Zhou Qiba was actually full of complaints.

The beef jerky and dry food were all distributed, and then I could only start eating the military rations of the crusade army, but... the more I ate, the more I felt the taste was like chewing wax.

These days, he felt that he was always on the verge of hunger every day. This feeling made him miss the days of being a prisoner more and more.

Not only that... it was still very cold at night when camping here, but obviously no one went to do anything to keep warm. Everyone lit a bonfire and slept on the ground. In the middle of the night, the firewood was burned, and even Zhou Qiba, who was wrapped in a coat, woke up the cold.

As for the others, he saw a friend who was frozen to death in the middle of the night, and in the early morning, he was already stiff.

At this time, when they were talking, they talked about the official army, but they deliberately distinguished the official army from the official army. It seemed that in their minds, the official army of Handan and other official army were two varieties.

The closer you get to Handan, the more complicated Zhou Qiba’s heart becomes.

He really didn't want to fight the Handan official army anymore, not because he was afraid of death. After all, people like him who put their heads on their belts had a bad life and had nothing to be greedy for life and fear of death.

The real reason is that in Zhou Qiba's simple understanding, he let him go and beat him again, which is a bit unkind.

But people always go with the flow.

Many people, like Zhou Qiba, have little morale, just take one step at a time.

And at this moment... they found a military horse on the side.

Suddenly, the leader of the team was shocked, and then... let everyone prepare to face the enemy.

All the opposites are cavalry and look very well-deserved.

This made the leader dare not neglect because he knew very well... a group of ragged refugees would die when they met the cavalry.

When the rebellion in Guanzhong was launched, everyone was not afraid of the ordinary official army, but the only thing they feared was the official army riding on horseback.

"Prepare, prepare... Let's fight with them and kill the hawks raised by the dogs. Don't panic. We are all around us. As long as we hold them up, it won't take long for the brothers nearby to come and help. At that time... we will surround them and kill all the things raised by the dogs."

The leader's eyes showed fierce light. Although his words were rough, they were still quite skillful.

On the one hand, I will tell you that you will live and die with everyone, and on the other hand, I will not be afraid. There are many people in you and there are enough reinforcements nearby.

So, the group of people began to carry out bamboo poles in a mess or gather together in a dense manner to prepare for the impact.

They even put several big cars in front of them.

Of course, sending people to nearby for help is also essential.

In this chaos, the cavalry began to attack.

With the sharp whistle...

As soon as the whistle came out...

Suddenly... the bandits who had finally stabilized began to get uproar. Someone subconsciously said: "It's the official army of Handan, the official army of Handan is here..."

As soon as this statement was spoken, the morale of many people plummeted.

They have witnessed the combat effectiveness of the Handan official army with their own eyes. All of them are extremely strong and have all kinds of strange weapons.

Zhou Qiba held the bamboo pole's hand and began to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry was ready to start sprinting.

This made the bandits who were already a little confused even more chaotic.

The leader was anxious, and the cold sweat like soybeans on his forehead came out. He kept shouting: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... They are still human after all... They are afraid of something. If they take them down, they will be rewarded and go back to eat meat."

This is fine if you don't say it.

When Zhou Qiba heard about eating meat, he felt hungry. What’s important is that this made his memory involuntarily reel.

I suddenly thought of... I was treated kindly in Handan, and the faces and the student who gave me coats. The man didn't say a few words to me, but just told me not to freeze my body.

And now, this coat is still worn on my body.

He immediately felt a little ashamed, and always felt his face getting hot.

Fear... uneasy... ashamed...

There are a little more wonderful thoughts.

Zhou Qiba even thought that if he was captured this time, he wouldn't know what he was eating...

In this moment.

With a clang.

The bamboo pole in his hand... fell to the ground.

Someone scolded: "Qiuba, what are you doing?"
