The heavy infantry adapted from the grenade battalion still did not throw away sharp weapons such as grenades.
A series of grenades exploded on the flank in an instant.
The cavalry surged forward and were immediately stunned.
An untrained war horse had never experienced such a noise before. For a moment, countless people fell on their backs.
"General——"
Li Dingguo rushed to the front and fought bloody battles. When he saw the grenade being thrown, he didn't know how powerful it was, but he buried his head to avoid its attack.
The guards on the side were extremely concerned.
"Boom!"
There were constant bombing sounds around him, and Li Dingguo was really puzzled. He didn't see the artillery, and it didn't look like a cannon!
"boom--"
"Herodus——" Suddenly, the flying stones directly hurt the horse's hoof, and the war horse knelt forward.
Li Dingguo grabbed the reins of the horse desperately, but was still thrown out.
"General——"
Hundreds of guards hurriedly reined in their horses, surrounded him, and began to rescue him.
After a while, he was placed in front of the horse by the soldiers, feeling dazed.
At this moment, the sudden stop caused the cavalry horse following behind to catch him and bite him hard immediately.
When Li Jingwu didn't see Li Dingguo, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Zhang Dingguo is dead. Surrender quickly. Zhang Dingguo is dead -"
The Chongbu battalion was stunned, and then shouted loudly, which instantly spread throughout the battlefield and resounded in all directions.
The Western infantrymen at the front, serving as cannon fodder, suddenly froze.
They looked everywhere for the general's flag figure, but could not see it at all. Their morale plummeted instantly, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Without Li Dingguo's command, and not knowing whether they were alive or dead, the Western cavalry instantly panicked.
The Chinese army also moved and continued to attack.
At this time, the surging cavalry had no choice but to escort Li Dingguo to retreat.
However, how could Li Jingwu dare to let him go?
"How much humiliation have I suffered because of you? How can I let you go so easily?"
Riding on his horse, Li Jingwu said angrily: "Catch Zhang Dingguo and be promoted to the third level. I will personally ask for credit from the king for him."
For a moment, the cavalry battalion was like wild wolves, looking for Li Dingguo's figure, chasing after him and biting him fiercely.
After many attacks on the military formation, the Western cavalry was already exhausted. After being bitten, they fled desperately.
You chase me, it's extremely fierce.
After a while, they were blocked outside Wanxian City.
"Surrender, I won't kill you."
Li Jingwu said in authentic northern Shaanxi dialect: "We are all fellow villagers, and we mean what we say."
The soldiers looked at each other. Before the Wanxian City Gate could be opened in time, they were already surrounded.
He had no choice but to surrender.
Zhu Yixi, who was commanding the Chinese army, was instantly overjoyed when he saw the stagnant cavalry: "What a great opportunity, Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo, you have brought it to your doorstep by yourself."
"In this world, how can a general personally lead an army? You are still too young."
Although I don’t know why the cavalry stopped, but it doesn’t work, it just doesn’t work.
The rear army and cavalry are all pressing forward. If you are a little negligent, you will be surrounded and killed.
Sure enough, as expected, most of the cavalry were forced to surrender, and only a small number of them fled to Wanxian County.
It's a pity that the cavalry refused to let go and had to surrender after a confrontation.
As for those infantry?
Zhu Yixi looked up, shook his head and said: "Five thousand heavy infantry can resist, but this kind of infantry will probably be useless."
For a moment, he almost felt like he was facing Zuo Liangyu.
In fact, no matter how powerful Li Dingguo's cavalry was, they could not avoid failure in the end.
Once the infantry as cannon fodder collapses, no matter how sophisticated the cavalry is, it cannot determine the chance of victory. Escape is the only outcome.
Next, it's just a matter of time.
Sure enough, as they surrendered without killing, the entire Western Army collapsed.
Some Western troops even shouted while surrendering: "I am also an officer and soldier——"
The complex composition of the Western Army is beginning to show its evil consequences.
It was not until the end that the war came to an end.
Zhu Yixi entered Wanxian and enjoyed the joy of victory.
…
On the other side, Li Dingguo woke up leisurely and suddenly found that he was lying in a cell.
"General, you wake up!"
The guards gathered happily one by one, crying with joy.
"What?" Li Dingguo was confused, touched his head, and said painfully: "Why am I here?"
"General, after you fainted, we were completely defeated and we were captured."
The soldiers lowered their heads one by one and spoke in a low voice.
"captive?"
Li Dingguo said angrily: "I would rather die than be a prisoner, and it is still in the hands of the Ming army."
"You should know my temper, why don't you kill me?"
"General..." Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
Looking at everyone, Li Dingguo sighed: "It is not a pity for me to die, but it is really a pity that I could not complete the mission of my adoptive father."
Seeing his body being stripped clean, Li Dingguo calmed down and said, "The Ming army didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"They are recruiting us to surrender."
The soldier said casually: "Either under the banner of fellow villagers or under the banner of Huguang, many brothers have surrendered."
"However, they have no conscience. We cannot surrender without your permission."
The soldiers nodded in agreement.
Li Dingguo was stunned and said with a wry smile: "At this time, you still remember me, Dingguo, I appreciate it."
"Are you awake?"
At this time, the guard noticed the noise here. He came over to take a look and said: "Then get up, His Highness wants to see you!"
"Which Your Highness?" Li Dingguo frowned.
"His Royal Highness, King Hanyang!" the guard said with a proud look on his face: "You don't even know King Hanyang who is victorious in every battle? No wonder he was defeated."
Li Dingguo felt depressed for a moment, and with help, he got up and left.
He wanted to know what this King of Hanyang meant.
Walking slowly, we came to the hall.
"In this battle, the cavalry battalion and the heavy infantry battalion took the lead. I agree, but I don't accept why Minghui and Mingyuan's second battalion on the right wing took the second place."
"That's right, it was penetrated by thousands of cavalry and almost defeated the heavy infantry. Why was it still a minor success?"
The noise made Li Dingguo feel a little happy. This was another internal fight, and his adoptive father would definitely win.
He lowered his head and waited.
Immediately, someone reported it.
"Your Highness, the enemy general Zhang Dingguo has been brought here."
"Well, let him in!"
King Hanyang then turned his head and said coldly: "Have you had enough noise? Are you embarrassed in front of outsiders?"
The generals wanted to speak but stopped.
Soon, Li Dingguo was brought up.
"General Zhang, I have long admired your name!"
Zhu Yixi raised his eyes and sighed: "I pretended to be Zeng Ying before, but why did I run away before I spent the night? Fortunately, I was able to find him easily."
"Winning king and losing bandit, if you want to kill or behead, just speak out!"
Li Dingguo raised his head and said stubbornly: "I, Zhang Dingguo, would not be alive today if I were afraid of death."
