Fangcheng County is the prefecture county of Yuzhou. The Funiu Mountains and the Tongbai Mountains intersect at the Fangcheng Pass, forming a wide and flat mountain pass. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang burned Bowangpo, and Bowangpo belonged to Fangcheng Pass. By the time of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, in order to connect Jianghan and Kaifeng, Xianghan canal was dug in Fangcheng, but it was eventually abolished due to the high terrain.

From this point of view, the geographical location of Fangcheng Pass is very important and has always been a must-fight for military strategists.

As the people of Fangcheng, they do not want this place to be a place that military strategists must fight for. When the bandits go south and north, they must pass through this place and collect it first. When the official army pursues the bandits, they collect it again. After a while, the people of Fangcheng fled countless times, almost without people.

To the east of Fangcheng, there is the remnant lineage of Tongbai Mountain, which is called Tianzhuangling by locals. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and there are strange and dangerous peaks everywhere. During the peaceful season, it is a good place to travel on the lip. Since the seventh year of Chongzhen, batches of people have flown from Tianzhuangling. These people are villagers from the nearby plains. When the bandits or the government troops cross the border, they carry food here to hide. When the bandits and the government troops disappear, they return to the plains and continue to work hard.

However, the bandits were a bit large this time, and they stayed long enough that the hiding people finally couldn't escape. The rioters in the Gao family's army were originally the people, and they might have been hiding in the mountains a few months ago. Therefore, they were familiar with the hiding of the people and went deep into Tianjialing.

In the rugged mountainous areas, not only are there a lot of food hidden, but there are also countless strong laborers, and even beautiful girls and young wives. The people gathered in the valley and simply built a shack. How can such shacks keep warm? Fortunately, young people are a little bit affected, but the elderly and children are suffering. These days, the elderly have passed away and children have died.

A young mother held the already cold child in her arms and said nothing, she was willing to let go of her hands. She just kept patting the child and murmured: "Maomao, let's go home. There is a kang at home, so it's not cold anymore..."

An old man was so excited that he couldn't help but burst into tears, pointing to the sky and drawing the earth, cursing: "The world of killing the sky... God... open your eyes and look at this world..."

God did not open his eyes, as if he had been sleeping for years.

There is no worst, only worse. Just as these poor people were suffering from hunger and cold, the rioters found them and began to rape, kill, and loot!

The screams of the people suddenly rang out, and the elderly and children who could not escape were caught by the rioters and fell into a pool of blood.

Some men held wooden sticks and kitchen knives to fight back against the rioters. In an instant, blood seeped into this disaster-stricken land.

Among the chaotic people, the young mother seemed extremely eye-catching. She sat there holding the child, neither running away nor panic, and was still patting the child: "Maomao, go home with my mother..."

When the rioter saw that his mother was quite beautiful, he rushed forward immediately, pulled the child out of his mother's arms and threw it away. Then he began to tear the young mother's clothes, revealing her round shoulders.

The young mother seemed stupid, letting the rioters act, just staring at the children who fell to the ground...

Suddenly, the young mother laughed bitterly: "Maomao... is back home..."

After shouting, he instantly recovered his strength, like a ghost, and his hands tightly pinched the neck of the rant, revealing his white teeth, and bit the turtle at the rant's nose...

"ah……"

The screams of the rioters suddenly rang out, and the big knife that was stabbed out in an instant penetrated the young mother's abdomen. The young mother turned her eyes to the children on the ground, and gradually, her eyes became scattered...

...

While the rioters were burning and killing Yin, they received an order from Gao Yingxiang to gather their troops. Driven by the elderly bandits, the rioters drove the plundered woman into long strips with ropes, carried the gangsters, drove the cowardly man, and walked out of the mountainous areas with a lot of food, looking out of the city of Yuzhou.

As soon as he walked out of the mountains, four or five thousand rioters were surprised to find that Gao Yingxiang actually sent more than a thousand elite cavalry to greet them!

No! These cavalry all seemed to be wearing plate armor. Except for the sabers hanging around their waists, everyone was holding steel crossbows in their hands! When did the king form such a neat cavalry?

Moreover, the eyes of these cavalrymen seemed to be wrong, staring at them coldly, just like looking at a group of dead people!

An old bandit had rich experience and reacted very quickly, exclaiming loudly: "Jingzhou Army!"

Whose troops were the Jingzhou army? The rioters were puzzled and looked at each other.

Just this moment of stunned kung fu, the knights activated and slowly began to accelerate, and their speed became faster and faster. Just like thunder stormed up on the ground, the earth was trembling with trampling on the iron hooves.

"Kill..."

After the knights shot out the crossbow arrows in their hands, they hung the steel crossbow on the saddle, dragging the saber to the saber, and letting out a roar of overwhelming roar. After a loud shout, they directly raised the shiny saber, hoping that the chaotic people would rush towards them. The momentum was like a strong wind storm, moving forward, covering the sky and the sun!

While running, the knights gradually divided into three parts, one rushing towards the front, and the other two wings slanted into the left and right wings.

Under the attack of crossbow arrows, the rioters fell down in a row like leeks behind their lips.

The rioters were scared to death and one of the few archers rushed to release the arrows at their hands. However, the strength of these arrows was too weak and the density of the arrows was too low. For the knights in plate armor, it was not even tickling.

Among the rioters, there are no shortage of brave bandits who have accumulated aged dynasties, and they shouted: "Rise the spear...Rise the spear..."

The bandits inserted the spears at their hands into the ground, squatting on the ground, their eyes widened like copper bells, and they stared at the fast approaching iron cavalry.

However, there are only a few who can muster up the courage to face the cavalry, and these few bandits are still scattered among the chaotic people. How can they form a joint force? Until the iron cavalry rushed in front of them, the spears in groups of three or three could not form an array at all.

There are also some new bandits who have never seen the cavalry's impact at all. They still hold the steel knife at hand tightly and try to wait for the cavalry to approach and slash.

Most of the rioters were captured by the momentum of the cavalry and retreated step by step. Although they had not collapsed, their morale had almost dropped to freezing point.

Such a mob, how could he be the opponent of the Cavalry Camp?

The knight in front of him lowered his body, like a sharp blade, avoiding the spear heads in groups of three or three, stabbed into the rioters, and slashed the spears that were stabbed away, and took off the head of a bandit from his body. The head was like a ball, rolling to the side, and blood gushed out of his body, making the knight red.

Following the head-on knight, the knight behind rushed into the crowd along the gaps opened by his comrades and chopped over a bandit who dared to fight back to the ground.

The second knight just passed, and the third knight rushed in, followed by the fourth and fifth...

The knights took turns to rush out of a blood trough, leading into the depths of the rioters, and disrupting the entire rioters and chaotic.

The rioters finally woke up, and such cavalry could not fight against them at all. After seeing the knights coming from afar, they all dodged, and even more, they spread their legs and ran around, and the entire team was on the verge of collapse.

The knights are getting more and more successful in fighting, and the battle results are getting more and more brilliant, and the blood on their bodies accumulates more and more, just like they have just been fished out of the sea of ​​blood.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, three groups of knights rushed the rioters to cross the rioters, stopped in the distance, hung the slashing saber at hand around his waist, picked up the steel crossbow and started to get on the crossbow.

The knights silently stylisted the strings, which put more psychological pressure on the rioters. As the sound of iron hooves sounded again, the rioters completely lost their confidence in persistence. Countless rioters shouted and fled in scattered.

The Cavalry Camp chased and rushed the fleeing rioters all over the place. It was not until the four or five thousand rioters were completely collapsed and no one was found again.

The Cavalry Camp came to Fangcheng to disrupt the situation, but could not escape Gao Yingxiang's eyes and ears. Even if Gao Yingxiang used his toes, he could figure out the purpose of the Cavalry Camp. Lin Chunhong tried to delay the army's journey south.

Of course, Gao Yingxiang could not do what he wanted to achieve the goal that the enemy wanted, so he ordered his subordinates to step up the gathering of troops and speed up the pace of going south. Once the troops were gathered, what could the Cavalry Battalion do?

As a result, before Gao Yingxiang's troops had collected 30%, news came that four or five thousand troops were destroyed.

Gao Yingxiang was furious and immediately ordered Wang Guangtai to lead three thousand elite cavalry to encircle and suppress the cavalry camp.

Cavalry encircled and suppressed cavalry, which was a difficult task. The Cavalry Camp had two horses, and Wang Guangtai was not inferior. Some bandits even had three horses. However, the horses of the Cavalry Camp were carefully selected and carefully cultivated by the horsemen. They were very nutritious and trained on weekdays. Wang Guangtai’s horses came from plunder and were always in a combat state. In terms of speed and explosiveness, they were far inferior to the Cavalry Camp.

So, Wang Guangtai faced the dilemma: he could not catch up with the Cavalry Camp at all. Moreover, Wang Guangtai also discovered that the Cavalry Camp was like a native of Fangcheng, and even knew the paths in the mountains. Not only did he easily throw them off, but he often appeared around the rioters unexpectedly. After a slash and chase, he quickly fled.

Even once, the Cavalry Camp appeared behind him, shooting more than 300 knights, and retreated calmly!

Therefore, Wang Guangtai's more than 3,000 cavalry were like the tails of the cavalry camp, and he was always in a state of mind and never had any advantage.

Sheng Kunshan seemed to have completely ignored Wang Guangtai's existence and just killed people and set fires everywhere. Gao Yingxiang's rioters collapsed countless times. The entire city was almost full of bandits, and there were bandits with no organization.
