Chapter 40 Riding Battle

(Chapter 2 is arriving, ask for red votes, brothers! Update another chapter in the afternoon, do what you say!)

After all, Li Zicheng is a veteran who has been fighting for a long time. After listening to this, his face only changed slightly, and then he regained his composure. The corners of his mouth sneered slightly: "This city guard is not a fool! Unexpectedly, he knew that the most taboo thing about defending the city was to be stuffy. He could understand this and only sent 200 cavalry out of the city to attack us. It seemed that I underestimated him at first! In that case, let them come here! Liu Zongmin! Can you still fight on the horse?"

Liu Zongmin was hit by two arrows on his body when he attacked the city the day before yesterday and suffered a slight injury, but the injury was not serious. Therefore, although Li Zicheng did not send him to attack the city today, Liu Zongmin still followed him to the front of the army.

After hearing Li Zicheng's greeting, Liu Zongmin smiled and said, "I'm afraid of him! How can a little injury make me, Liu Zongmin, lie down!"

Li Zicheng smiled and asked Xiao Tianjian, "Brother Xiao, do you dare me to kill those officers and soldiers together?"

After hearing Li Zicheng's words, Xiao Tianjian immediately understood what Li Zicheng wanted to do. He wanted to pull out all the cavalry that could be used in the two armies to intercept the cavalry of the raiding officers and cover the flank of the siege force, so that it could not impact the flank of the siege force. It is estimated that there are even Taking the opportunity to bite the officer's plan fiercely, Xiao Tianjian also admired Li Zicheng's courage.

However, at present, although this method is risky, it is also the only solution. Although Xing Tianjun has always insisted on building an infantry team, he has not ignored the construction of cavalry. In fact, the scout team is also a light cavalry when necessary. At this time, there are still dozens of his men. A scout has not yet come in handy. I guess Li Zicheng will definitely not let him rest!

Although Xiao Tianjian is not good at riding, at this time, if he says no, he will undoubtedly lose face to Xing Tianjun. As a man, how can Xiao Tianjian be flattened by Li Zicheng at this time? So he straightened his chest and laughed loudly, "It's an honor to fight side by side with Li Chuang. I Xiao is not pinched! I'm willing to go to fight with General Li!"

"Haha... In that case, get on the horse! Let's meet those officers and soldiers!" Li Zicheng waved his hand and called his soldiers over. The soldiers immediately took Li Zicheng's jujube red horse and sent them over. Li Zicheng pulled the saddle and kicked it. As soon as he turned over, he turned on the horse's back neatly. The soldiers and generals with horses standing in the position of the Chinese army behind him also turned over and jumped one after another without saying anything. On horseback.

Xiao Tianjian is naturally not ambiguous. He has never personally experienced this kind of horse riding and enemy hedging. At best, when he was in Tianlongzhai, he occasionally rode a horse and practiced several times with his subordinates. Today it seems that he can't avoid it, so as soon as he waved, Tietou immediately made his exclusive Hexi big The horse pulled over, and Xiao Tianjian took over the rein, and also pulled the saddle to recognize it. As soon as he turned over, he jumped onto the war horse.

His horse is a standard Hexi horse. It is a good horse that his men snatched from the officers and soldiers in the last battle of the Stone Buddha Temple. It is estimated that it should be at least a good horse that only officers can have, but it was cheaply given to Xiao Tianjian.

The horse is yellow-haired, well-proportioned, with strong limbs, and its head is very majestic. When Xiao Tianjian saw the horse, he fell in love with the horse at first sight, and his men would not compete with him, so he changed the horse for Xiao Tianjian to ride, and the horse was originally At that time, he didn't like to see Xiao Tianjian. As soon as Xiao Tianjian rode it, he lost his temper and wanted to take Xiao Tianjian down. However, Xiao Tianjian was also stubborn. In addition, he had learned equestrianism for a while and had some experience in controlling the war horse, so he spent on this yellow horse. As a result, it took three days for each person and one horse. Xiao Tianjian tame this group of unruly yellow horses, but Xiao Tianjian was also firmly fallen several times. Once he almost broke his calf by this yellow horse, which was finally a friendship.

However, once this yellow horse is tameded, it is also very obedient. Xiao Tianjian has a war horse he like. With this yellow horse, Xiao Tianjian practiced riding as soon as he has time. During this period of time, riding has also progressed rapidly. Although he dare not say that his riding is superb, It is no longer a difficult thing to fight with people.

When Tietou saw that Xiao Tianjian wanted to fight in person, he immediately hesitated and persuaded him, "General, let your subordinates go!" You..."

After Xiao Tianjian jumped on the horse's back, he stared at the iron head, grabbed his big gun in the iron head's hand, roared, and shouted to Shi Ran, "Don't talk nonsense. Even General Li can fight in person. Can't I Xiao Tianjian do it? What are you waiting for? Get on the horse! Let's meet the cavalry of those officers and soldiers!"

Tie Tou glanced at Li Zicheng with dissatisfaction, but he also knew that this was related to Xiao Tianjian's face. With Xiao Tianjian's temper, he would never lay soft eggs at this time, so no matter how much he said it, it was unintentional, so he had to reach out and wave a personal soldier, took his horse over, turned over and jumped on the horse's back and lift the horse. Standing beside Xiao Tianjian, he pulled out a steel knife from his waist and held it in his hand.

After Shi Ran heard the order, as soon as he waved his hand, the scouts behind him immediately jumped on their respective horses excitedly. With a roar, Xiao Tianjian rushed out of the array. The group mixed with Li Zicheng's subordinates and urged the horses to accelerate to meet the cavalry that had already appeared in the west of the city.

The number of cavalry fighting on the side of the officers and army is actually less than 200. For the current Ming army, because of the war in Liaodong, a large number of war horses have been transferred to Liaodong, and the number of officers and horses in Shaanxi is obviously insufficient. The nearly 200 cavalry sent, for Yang Yulin, who is defending the city, is already Yang Yulin knew that defending the city was the most taboo. From the beginning of the war, he had been observing the situation of the thief army outside the city. Through his observation, he found that the number of cavalry in the thief army was very limited, and there was also a group of people who were sent around Longzhou City to monitor the movement of the gates of Longzhou City, so that the cavalry available in the thief army was very limited.

As he supervised the battle in the south of the city, he secretly recruited the general of the cavalry, and asked him to summon the cavalry at the west gate and be ready to go out of the city at any time. When he saw that a large number of thieves had leaned against the city wall and were about to erect a long ladder to attack the city, he immediately sent people to send the cavalry at the west gate and let them out of the city. Raid the army of thieves.

The sentry cavalry then opened the gate and killed it out, and a small team of cavalry under the command of Li Zicheng, who was responsible for monitoring the defenders of Longzhou City outside the west gate, was caught off guard and was killed by them. More than a dozen people were beheaded. The rest Immediately dispersed, the cavalry of this team of officers and soldiers immediately boosted their morale and immediately rushed towards the south of the city, intending to insert a knife into the back of the thief army outside the city from the flank to disrupt the rhythm of their siege.

And some of the rebels who were attacking the city also found the cavalry of the officers killed from the west of the city. Suddenly, they were a little confused. Some new soldiers who had just been included in Li Zicheng's army suddenly lost their attention for fear of being copied from behind by the officers, so someone immediately wanted to turn around and escape, but then they were The elite men of Li Zicheng who rushed up cut down several people, forcing them to turn around and continue to attack the city.

"I'm afraid of it! There will be many brothers behind us! This point of officers and soldiers is not good! It's not enough for our general! For me to rush forward, the first one to hit the wall, there is a lot of rewards!" Tian Jianxiu, who usually looks quite elegant, now has red eyes, holding a ghost-headed knife in one hand and a round shield in the other arm. While covering the arrow stone falling from the top of his head, he kicked a novice who trembled and dared not rush forward with his feet.

The new recruit saw that he could not escape, and he carried a long ladder, but as soon as he took a step, a lead bullet hit his forehead from top to bottom. His body paused for a moment, and a stream of blood rushed down his cheeks. After a while, he fell to the ground softly.

Tian Jianxiu was also stunned for a moment, spit out and scolded on the ground, "What a mother's misfortune! Give it to me! ......”

After saying that, he took a step, put a long tilting ladder on his shoulder, strode across the sheep and horse wall and rushed to the city.
