Chapter 210: How about adding a battalion of cavalry to Songshan Guard?
Zuo Lengchan looked at the cavalry charging out, holding a two-meter-long single-edged sword in one hand, and shouted with his inner strength:

"Comrades, this battle is fought in the name of justice. We will defend the righteous path of mankind and restore peace to the world!"

When the thousand cavalrymen heard this, they immediately remembered Ou Zanghua's speech that day. Their emotions were aroused and they shouted almost in unison: "The way of heaven is vast, the way of man is vast, only justice is eternal and invincible!"

"What the hell?" Liu Qi said with a smile, "Who would rush after someone shouting such a slogan during a war?"

"kill!"

Following Zuo Lengchan's roar, a thousand cavalrymen, led by three generals, rushed out like sharp arrows, raising dust wherever the cavalry went.

Seeing this, Liu Qi led the bandit cavalry to charge without hesitation, and at the same time encouraged the morale: "Brothers, after we finish this job, let's go to Zhending Prefecture and have fun!"

There was only four miles between the two sides, and with the speed of the horses they would collide with each other very quickly.

When they were three miles away, the enemy's arrows shot at them in an overwhelming manner. Zuo Lengchan waved his sword and knocked away the arrows. The soldiers behind him raised their shields to protect their heads. Many of them were hit by arrows. They endured the pain and lay on the horse's back, trying not to fall off.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The officer's musket fired, knocking a row of bandits off their horses.

The next moment, the two sides collided with each other. Zuo Lengchan, Jia Sifang and Peng Lin were like three sharp knives, instantly stabbing into the enemy army.

In an instant, Zuo Lengchan only felt that swords, spears, swords and sticks were coming at him from the front, left and right. He waved his sword and wanted to use the Heavenly Jade Dragon move to push away these weapons.

With one strike of his sword, a gust of wind was stirred up. With the help of his inner strength, the huge force knocked away the weapons of the bandits in front of him. His deputy generals were his junior brothers Zhao Sihai and Zhang Jingchao. The two of them protected him on both sides. Their moves were equally fierce. The three of them worked together to disrupt the bandit army's formation in an instant.

After a round of confrontation, the two sides quickly distanced themselves from each other and circled on the vast plain.

Liu Qi saw that his casualties were even greater than those of the officers and soldiers?!
He was shocked and immediately realized that this cavalry was somewhat different from the cavalry from the garrisons he had encountered before. Although their strength was not as good as that of the border troops, it was not weaker than that of the Beijing camp.

"We can't hedge anymore, otherwise we might collapse before him!" Liu Qi thought about it and changed his tactics with his cavalry.

Zuo Lengchan could not see the change, but Jia Sifang beside him saw the difference at a glance and immediately shouted: "Captain Zuo, they are going to use the Mangudai tactics!"

"What is that?" Zuo Lengchan asked with some confusion.

"That's the Mongolian Tartars' tactic of fighting. They shoot arrows at us with bows and then run away, luring us to chase them, but they never engage in close combat with the enemy," Peng Lin explained.

Zuo Lengchan looked and saw that Liu Qi was indeed leading his cavalry around, and his cavalry began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.

"Humph!"

Jia Sifang snorted coldly and said, "Now, any rubbish dares to learn the Mongolian tactics. With their horse speed, they can only play tricks on those cavalrymen who neglected their training! Please ask Captain Zuo to hold them back. I will lead a battalion of soldiers to go around the rear!"

Zuo Lengchan was not a petty person, and when they set out, Ou Zanghua had told him that Jia Sifang and Peng Lin had rich experience in cavalry tactics, and asked him to listen to their opinions. So as soon as Jia Sifang put forward his opinion, he agreed.

"Captain Jia, go ahead!"

Jia Sifang didn't waste any words and led a battalion of troops to separate from Zuo Lengchan.

Liu Qi did not notice that Jia Sifang had left the main team on one side. He had been entangled with Zuo Lengchan. When he was about to fire another volley, the deputy general behind him suddenly shouted, "Second leader, there are soldiers around to our right rear!"

"What?!" Liu Qi was startled and turned around to see Jia Sifang leading a team of cavalrymen charging towards him.

"kill!"

Jia Sifang roared, and his spear left a trail of afterimages, knocking the bandits in the right front off their horses. The soldiers behind him brandished long-handled iron guns, and with one hammer strike, they cracked the bandits' heads open, just like peeling fruit, and cut off a layer of Liu Qi's cavalry.

Upon seeing this, Zuo Lengchan immediately led all his soldiers to charge into the enemy's formation again, with swords as sharp as the swords of the enemy soldiers who dared to stop him.

With the help of speed, the moves were no longer important. Zuo Lengchan wielded his sword, and with every strike, a bandit soldier fell down. He was like a man in an empty space, unstoppable!
The soldiers behind him were greatly encouraged and followed him fearlessly, once again killing their way through Liu Qi's army.

"Ahhhhh!!! Kill them for me!"

Liu Qi was furious. The reason why the two brothers were able to travel around the world was because of their cavalry!

They didn't expect that in addition to the border troops, there were also cavalry from the garrisons who could beat them so badly.

When he turned his horse around, Jia Sifang, who was wandering nearby, rushed up again.

He thrust his spear down, piercing through a fearless bandit soldier.

The bandit fell off his horse, a large hole stabbed in his chest, his eyes bulged out, the intense pain made him roar like a beast at the end of its rope, his calloused hands were propped up in the air, still trying to grab Jia Sifang, but how could he reach him? Jia Sifang didn't take the bandit, who was only breathing his last breath, seriously at all, and after driving his horse past, he was just a pile of mud.

When Liu Qi saw this scene, his teeth were about to break, but he could only watch the other party cut off a layer of cavalry and go away.

If a drone were to fly up for a bird's eye view, it would be able to see that Jia Sifang had drawn a big number '8' on the plain.

This is one of the classic tactics of cavalry charge, which was summarized by people in later generations as "8-shaped movement". Through this movement, the enemy is always placed in front of our right side.

Because cavalry move forward quickly and most of them are right-handed, the weakest defense is the left rear.

This tactic is to use the strongest spear to attack the weakest shield. How to resist?

Unstoppable!

Liu Qi didn't believe it and led his men to charge again.

Zuo Lengchan liked this kind of straightforward man, who would charge fearlessly with a single sword in hand.

Faced with generals like Zuo Lengchan and Peng Lin who had extremely high martial arts skills, no one in the rebel army could withstand two of their attacks.

When they collided again, the thief general was like a dam made of tofu dregs, and Tianjin Youwei was like a rolling torrent. Every moment, layer after layer of the dam would be washed away by the flood-like Tianjin Youwei.

"Go!"

With a thunderous roar, Zuo Lengchan swung his sword and cut off the head of another bandit leader.

"Brothers, follow me and charge in!"

Old Zuo, who was blood-thirsty, rode his horse forward and bumped into another bandit leader head-on. He shouted again with all his strength and attacked violently with his sword, like a mad dragon falling from the sky. He stretched out his sharp claws and fangs violently. The sharp blade broke through the air with a piercing "hissing" sound. The bright white blade was like a long rainbow, hitting the bandit leader's head and chopped down.

"Hahaha, that's what a good man should do!"

Zuo Lengchan laughed loudly as he faced another bandit leader. He raised his sword and chopped him down. The bandit leader raised his spear high, ready to block the blow that was as fierce as splitting mountains.

"clang--"

After a clear sound, the spear in the general's hand was broken in two. Zuo Lengchan's single knife showed no sign of being blocked, and continued to chop down, with a flash of cold light, it chopped into the chest, and the knife head went through the crotch, almost cutting the man's body in two!
"Who else?!"

Lao Zuo was filled with anger and his roar of rage spread in all directions.

Liu Qi, who was not far away, was furious. He originally thought Qiu Yue was invincible in the world, but whose general was this? !
"Captain Zuo is so mighty!" When the soldiers of Tianjin Youwei saw this scene, they shouted wildly with great momentum, beating the bandit army to death.

Under the encirclement and suppression by Zuo Lengchan, Jia Sifang and Peng Lin, more and more people from Liu Qi's army fell.

Finally, there were only a few dozen elite soldiers left, surrounded by three parties. Liu Qi was holding a long halberd, covered in blood. He stared at Zuo Lengchan opposite him and shouted, "Will you leave your name, General?!"

"I am Zuo Lengchan of Songshan!"

Zuo Lengchan rode on a horse, holding a single sword in one hand, and said calmly: "Defeated general, why don't you surrender?!"

“Hahahaha!” Liu Qi roared with laughter: “I vote for Nima!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his halberd and rushed towards Zuo Lengchan: "Die!"

Liu Qi knew very well that even if he surrendered, the court would not forgive him. He was going to die anyway, so why not die heroically?
At this moment, several arrows were shot and hit Liu Qi's horse.

The horse neighed and fell to the ground. Liu Qi subconsciously protected his head and rolled several times on the ground.

When he looked up, he saw that the weapons of the three masters, Zuo Lengchan, Jia Sifang and Peng Lin, were all pointed at him.

"Tie them up!" Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly, then looked up at the dozens of elite soldiers in the center and captured them all.

When he got off the horse, he felt exhausted and leaned against the horse to avoid making a fool of himself.

After a while, Zuo Lengchan couldn't help laughing. Is this a cavalry battle?
Fun!

It’s so enjoyable!

Zuo Lengchan's eyes sparkled. When he saw Zhao Sihai, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhao, do you think it would be a good idea to add a battalion of cavalry to Songshan Guard?"

Zhao Sihai: ???

Is the head brother stupid? Is there a place for you to race horses in Songshan?
