The Yan on the river rode his horse forward, but soon his guards beat him over and grabbed him in the middle, which made him very dissatisfied, but he could do nothing. His guards were faithfully performing their duties and ensuring his safety. Even if he ordered them to move out of the way, it would be of no use at this time.

The feather arrows on his head roared, the sound of the war horses rushing together and falling to the ground, the crisp sound of weapons fighting, and the cruel and bloody but particularly gorgeous scenes made him extremely excited when the blood beads splattered.

Jiang Shangyan enjoyed such a cavalry battle scene. In the first half of his life, he had been here like this. The galloping horses and howling winds were, this was the stage for the tough men. Even if they were chopped down and fell into the dust, they were still a magnificent picture.

To be honest, he didn't like the combat method that the Ming army is changing now. He had seen the rapid-fire cannon that the Ming Dynasty had just entered the battle. If there were dozens of such cannons, it would be a nightmare for any attacker. They would nibble their opponents on the road of attack.

But this change is moving forward in an irreversible way. Jiang Shangyan even suspected that in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty could even shoot out like a crossbow machine, but Weiban would have to be countless times larger than gunpowder weapons.

The crossbow can cause devastating blows to enemies within fifty steps, while gunpowder weapons can easily shoot a hundred meters away or even further, and ensure their powerful lethality.

Sometimes Jiang Shangyan even thinks such a battle is really boring.

But this can minimize casualties in the Ming army. Jiang Shangyan doesn't like it very much, but the soldiers must like it very much. Can you kill the enemy from a distance and in a place where the enemy cannot touch it? Is there anything more refreshing than this?

The body of a guard blocking him suddenly flew up, and a spear pierced his abdomen, lifting him up high. Jiang Shangyan was furious. Before the guards on both sides came to close and blocked him behind him again. The spur slammed the horse's belly and the war horse rushed out lightly, and he picked up and wiped it with both swords. The officer Qi **, who was still grinning, first fell with his two hands holding the gun, and then the blood on his neck sprayed high like a fountain.

The Pegasus passed by the Qi ** official who was shot dead by him. In front of Jiang Shangyan, there were finally dense Qi cavalry. He roared excitedly and knocked forward. His guards could only follow him helplessly and try to block the attacks on both sides for him.

The heavy cavalry of the thunderstorm is definitely a bug-like existence for both sides of the war. The tall and daunting war horses, all of which were covered with iron armor, were surrounded by giants weighing more than 2,000 pounds, and they almost didn't need to wave their weapons. Wherever they passed, the cavalry group of Qi was immediately cut open by them. The yellow tiger and yellow leopard brothers following them would be removed by their dispersed enemy cavalry.

This rush continued to reach the end of the battle formation, and the heavy cavalry continued to move forward, while the five thousand cavalry of the Huang brothers quickly turned around and formed a protective circle around them.

The general of the Qi army was not a fool, and naturally he could see the advantages and disadvantages of the heavy cavalry at a glance. When the heavy cavalry charged forward, his wings followed the two cavalry and kept harassing them from the side. Without the protection of the light cavalry, such a heavy cavalry would end up being dragged to death and exhausted in the battle with the light cavalry.

The cavalry led by the Huang brothers used to be the elite of the Bian army, and their combat power was naturally quite strong. At this moment, they fought with the two Qi cavalry who wanted to get a bargain, and they were not at all inferior. Until they heard the long sound of horns coming from the heavy cavalry formation, they suddenly dispersed to the left and right.

The sound of muffled thunder sounded again, and the thunder cavalry turned around and started the second charge. Although the number of people was much less than the first charge, the momentum was the same and moving forward.

The Huang brothers once again completed the assembly behind them.

If there was no thunderstorm, then this cavalry battle would inevitably be a fierce battle when the number of people on both sides was not very different. However, with such a heavy cavalry, they collided back and forth on the battlefield, and the Qi army was densely packed, and they swept the place. After a few rounds, the Qi people were cut into pieces, and they were trapped in an absolute minority on almost every local battlefield.

The advantages and disadvantages on the battlefield were not long before they could be seen. The cavalry of Qi, who had a bad situation, began to retreat. A large-scale cavalry battle immediately turned into a pursuit battle. In such a pursuit battle, the heavy cavalry of the thunderstorm was useless. The Huang brothers left another thousand cavalry to protect them, and the rest began to chase the fleeing cavalry with Jiang Shangyan.

It only took half a day to go from the outbreak of the battle to the one-sided situation.

At this time, Yang Zhi and Xu Sanmei and the others had already caught up with Guo Xiancheng's first rear-breaking force.

An infantry team of about 3,000 people set up a lineup on a small hill, and several artillery even appeared in the dense formation.

The troops that were cut off were basically abandoned. Seeing the Qi army still in a strict formation on the mountain, Yang Zhi had to sigh that Guo Xiancheng was really good at leading the troops.

"Can you get around?" Yang Zhi asked when he called the scout.

"Yes, but you have to walk fifty miles more!" said the scout.

"Fuck!" Yang Zhi couldn't help but curse a swear word.

But no matter how much you scold, the road still circles, Yang Zhi would not attack this army that obviously did not want to live. He would go around and chase most of the enemy, forcing them to constantly abandon such a broken rear force, and then come back and slowly deal with them.

"Let's go!" Along the war horses, they bypassed the mountain in front of them, galloping towards Luzhou. The Qi army on the top of the mountain could only watch them leave without daring to move at all. If their army was loose, these cavalry would probably come back immediately.

But they can't always stay on this mountain, they will eventually go back. The trek along the way is the most deadly moment.

Ma Hou encountered a small ambush. When passing through a not-so-dense forest, a Qi army launched a desperate attack on him. In the forest, the advantage of the cavalry was reduced to a minimum, but the personal quality of the soldiers in Ma Hou's army was several levels higher than that of ordinary Ming soldiers. This is also the preferential treatment of Qin Feng for this personal guard who has been following him since childhood.

Thousands of people blocked the troops, but only blocked Ma Hou for half an hour. It was consistent with Yang Zhi's strategy. If the enemy set up a military formation and was ready for battle, he would take a detour without hesitation. If he took the initiative to attack like him like before, he would kill him before leaving.

This pursuit took three days, and during this period, the troops of Jiang Shangyan from the back gradually followed. After Zhou Jiyun received the report immediately, he also made a quick decision to issue orders, and the infantry battalions continued to follow.

The pursuit stopped until Meixian on the border of Luzhou. Here, Guo Xiancheng had already built a line of defense. Relying on Meishan, a complete line of defense appeared in front of the Ming army. At this time, although Guo Xiancheng's main force retreated, the army he abandoned had exceeded 30,000.

Now some of these troops have been wiped out by the Ming army, and some have been trapped in the Ming army, but they are trapped in a dilemma. As the Ming army's infantry team advances, their final destruction is also destined.

A fierce attack was a terrible attack. Before the decisive battle officially began, it ended with the retreat of Qi.

What made Guo Xiancheng even more uncomfortable was that the mode of war had become exactly the same as in the past without any hesitation. The deep groove barriers would no longer pose an obstacle to the Ming army. The empty and unpreventive sky had become a field for the Ming Dynasty to play freely. Faced with the ruthless blow from space, Guo Xiancheng could not do it.

Faced with such a situation, Guo Xiancheng had not yet established a stable foothold in Meixian, and he received emergency military information from Cangzhou. Under the leadership of the county magistrate Wu Jing and general Yan Xiaoyi, Cangzhou had surrendered to the Ming army. This news hit Guo Xiancheng like a thunderbolt and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

Good fortune comes unparalleled, but misfortunes never come alone. The military situation in Cangzhou has not been digested by Guo Xiancheng. The other two news forced Guo Xiancheng to think about whether Luzhou can still be defended.

The Wulin unit that set out from Wanzhou has been inserted into one side of Luzhou. Almost at the same time, Zhang Xing from Xiangzhou also penetrated from the other side. Looking at the current trajectory of the two armies, Guo Xiancheng judged that they had a common goal, Xuan'en County under Luzhou. Once these two armies meet in Xuan'en County and take it down, they will strangle the retreating route of the Luzhou army.

From the beginning, Zhou Jiyun's appetite was very big, and he wanted to swallow Guo Xiancheng's entire army in Luzhou. If Guo Xiancheng had understood this earlier, he would only ridicule Zhou Jiyun's strategy for being flashy, but after seeing the violent bombardment of dozens of Ming army airships on his camp, Guo Xiancheng had to admit that Zhou Jiyun did swallow his strength in one bite.

Now, he needs to seriously consider whether it is time to retreat.

After Gan Ming, who could barely get up, took over the command. After preparing for the defensive battle in Meixian, Guo Xiancheng returned to Luzhou. He has been operating in Luzhou for a long time and has always been the base camp for counterattacking Ming. Even if he wants to retreat, he cannot leave just by leaving.
