The chasing cavalry of the rebels was still more than 200 steps away. Li Guodong personally led 3,000 cavalry to rush towards the direction where the rebels were coming.

Han Dashan's cavalry were arranged in ten parallel rows, and the tight formation accelerated forward. All the cavalry pointed their long spears in their hands, and the iron hooves of war horses trampled on the ground. The thousand cavalry acted in a unified manner, like one person, rushing straight towards the cavalry of the rebellion army.

The cavalry of the rebels were not good at it. When they saw the Ming cavalry rushing towards them, the cavalry of the rebels formed a formation of three walls. Five thousand cavalry trampled on the ground for 40,000 horse hooves, making a thunderous roar. The cavalry rumbled towards Li Guodong's heavy cavalry. If you look from the air, you can see that the cavalry of the rebels covers more than four times the area of ​​the cavalry of the Huai army, and the number is significantly greater. It seems that one charge can swallow the thousand cavalry.

At the same time, the two thousand light cavalry led by Li Guodong personally went on detour from both wings, and the knights pulled out their bows in their hands, and the rain of arrows pierced into the crowd of cavalry in the rebel army.

Although the cavalry of the rebels were covered with armor, they were not equipped with thick armor like the cavalry of the Qing army. Most of the cavalry had only one piece of cotton or leather armor. The light arrows of the light cavalry were not very powerful, but many arrows shot through the armor of the rebels. Only screams were heard one after another. Many of the rebels were caught with arrows on their bodies, and the formation of the three walls was slightly loose.

The heavy cavalry of the horse lance collided with the cavalry of the rebels, and the heavy and sharp armor-breaking cone pierced into the formation of the cavalry of the rebels, either hitting the cavalry of the cavalry or hitting the war horses. A row of cavalry of the rebels screamed in pain and fell from the horses. Many of the stabbed war horses fell down, knocking down the cavalry on the horses. The fallen cavalry of the rebels were trampled into meat paste in a blink of an eye.

More than a thousand horse-slinging cavalry did not stop. They just shook the spear rod and pulled out the armor-breaking cone from the human corpse and horse corpse. With the help of the elastic force of the spear rod, they continued to charge with the straight-slinging cavalry. The horse-slinging cavalry passed through the formation of the three walls of the rebel army, just like an iron cone pierced into tofu, passing directly through the middle, forcing a bloody road from the middle of the rebel army cavalry. Some horse-slinging cavalry also fell off the horse, but compared with the losses of the rebel army cavalry, Li Guodong's losses were almost negligible.

After the horse-slinging cavalry rushed over, they slowly slowed down. More than a thousand people stopped at the same time like one person. Everyone turned their horses' heads, straightened their horse-slinging spears, and prepared to turn around and charge again.

The light cavalry led by Li Guodong kept firing arrows on both wings of the cavalry of the rebels, and from time to time, the rebels were caught and fell off the horse. Li Guodong himself also drew his bows one after another, shooting out arrows without any slight arrows. Each sharp arrow could take away the life of a rebel cavalry.

Hao Yaoqi never expected that his five thousand cavalry was vulnerable in front of the one thousand Ming cavalry. He was killed and injured by the Ming army in just one round of charge, and at least more than a thousand people were damaged. How could he have imagined that the horse-sling cavalry was the nemesis of various cavalry. A thousand horse-sling cavalry was equivalent to a spearmen on the back of a thousand horses, and a high-speed moving spearmen. During the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry made various bandits and barbarian cavalry cry and moan. Li Shimin once captured two kings with a thousand Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry and captured Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong alive.

A thousand horse-slinged cavalry rushed over again. This time, Hao Yaoqi didn't dare to take it on his shoulders. He turned around and ran back with the remaining cavalry, intending to meet with the 20,000 infantry led by Li Yan and Hong Niangzi, and then bring the infantry to kill the horse and rifle.

Li Guodong naturally would not let the rebel army go. He personally led two thousand light cavalry and followed the rebel cavalry all the way. He shot arrows from far away, and slashed with a sabre when approaching, and constantly slashed the backward rebel cavalry under the horse.

Hao Yaoqi turned his head suddenly and found that Ming General who was chasing him was very familiar. He was stunned for a moment. Just as Hao Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, the Ming General had already rushed to him, and his spear rod was waving like a stick and hit him, knocking him off the horse.

Li Guodong couldn't bear to kill Hao Yaoqi, so he just knocked him off the horse with a spear. Then the sharp spear tip pressed against Hao Yaoqi's throat: "Come here, tied up!"

The two cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, took the rope, tied Hao Yaoqi and threw it on the horse's back.

"Get out, the bandits of infantry soldiers are coming soon!" Li Guodong yelled.

The captured Hao Yaoqi was sent to the convoy by Li Guodong and handed over to Zhang Shuheng. The man said, "Zhang Qianhu, this man is a warrior. Treat him well. When his uncle comes back, he will persuade him to surrender."

After repelling the 5,000 cavalry of the rebels, Li Guodong ordered the 3,000 cavalry to take a short rest and prepare to fight the 20,000 rebels who arrived later.

After about one meal, more than 20,000 infantry soldiers of the rebel army arrived. More than 3,000 cavalrymen who had just been killed by Li Guodong also came.

On the horizon not far away, a large group of riots appeared, covering the sky, pressing towards him. Li Guodong picked up his telescope and observed the robbers. He saw the riots throwing out a "Li" flag. In the middle of the army, a young man was riding a white horse, and a woman in red riding a white horse beside him, with bright red clothes and a white war horse under his crotch, which looked particularly eye-catching.

"It's Li Yan and Hong Niangzi here. Today, they are all old acquaintances, Hao Yaoqi, Li Yan, Hong Niangzi." Li Guodong said to himself.

Most of the 20,000 infantry soldiers of the rebel army who arrived were surrendered by the Ming army. The surrendered generals of the Ming army, Bai Guangen and Tang Tong, were also in this team. The soldiers under their command were even taken to the battle of the mandarin duck war jackets by the rebel army as cannon fodder.

"Military advisor, Li's bandits have not many soldiers and horses. The last general is willing to lead five thousand troops under his command to kill Li's bandits and capture the foolish monarch alive!" The surrendered general Tang Tong couldn't wait to volunteer to fight.

Li Yan shook his head: "Li Laoer is good at fighting, so it's not easy. Although Li only has 3,000 thieves, they are all elite cavalry. Just now, Hao Yaoqi's five thousand cavalry were defeated, and General Hao was captured. General Tang, just by your 5,000 infantry, wouldn't it be for nothing to die?"

"But the military advisor, if he hesitates, the foolish monarch will run away." Tang Tong couldn't wait to capture Chongzhen alive and make contributions to the new master.

Li Yan said: "Li has sent someone to report this to the King of Chuang. Our army only needs to advance steadily and follow Li Laoer. Let Luo Hu lead 3,000 cavalry to bypass the Li thief cavalry and pursue the convoy of the tyrant king. If Li Laoer returns to rescue the enemy, avoid the enemy's edge, detour to the south of Tianjin Wei, block the canal, and cut off the road that the tyrant king cannot escape. Our infantry keeps up steadily and builds fortifications south of Tianjin Wei to block the tyrant king. The army of the King of Chuang will arrive soon."

"The military advisor's trick!" Tang Tong gave a thumbs up.

More than 20,000 rebels were arranged in neat formations and slowly moving forward. Every ten steps, the rebels stopped moving forward and reorganized the slightly deformed formation caused by walking. After all, these surrendered generals of the Ming army were not Li Guodong's elite infantry, and they were not chaotic if they could walk more than a hundred steps. Although the rebels were very slow, the neat formation made Li Guodong afraid and did not dare to launch a rash attack with cavalry. The cavalry bows of the light cavalry would definitely not beat the infantry bows of the rebels. The heavy cavalry attacks, and the number of rebels was too large. As long as the formation was maintained, the heavy cavalry would suffer heavy losses.

"Li Yan has some methods to fight. Their infantry advances in formation and their formation is not chaotic. Wait, where are the cavalry of the bandits?" Li Guodong looked at the formation of the rebel army step by step and suddenly understood, "Hurry up, the whole army retreats, follow His Majesty's convoy, the bandits will rob His Majesty's convoy!"

Li Guodong, with three thousand cavalrymen, rushed towards Chongzhen's convoy, and soon caught up with the convoy.

"Brother, why are you back?" Zhang Shuheng saw Li Guodong coming back with the cavalry and asked.
