In order to retreat as soon as possible, the rebels retreated westward in multiple ways. Compared to being cautious and careful when they came, it was unnecessary to hide when the rebels retreated, and speed was the key.

Crowds of people like dragons are moving on the earth, and from a distance they look like moving ant colonies. The sound of people, footsteps, and horse neighing are noisy.

"Woo..." The hoarse and thick trumpet suddenly sounded in the north.

People looked in the sound and saw cavalry gradually coming out of a forest. After a while, the ground began to shake faintly, and a low rumbling sound followed. A large area of ​​dust spread over the small village beside the forest.

The rebel soldiers looked sideways, and people looked shocked and incredible.

The cavalry in the distance seemed to be equipped with a large amount of iron armor, marching in roughly in a row, well-trained, so that only the Ming army had horses! How could the Ming army suddenly appear in the north? No one could answer this question for a while.

Li Li Mingming sent many spies to inquire along the way and monitor Chen Zhengyuan's men who went south. If the Ming army mobilized south from land, how could those scouts and spies know nothing?

A large flag floating in the air further confirmed people's speculation that the cavalry group that appeared was indeed Ming soldiers. It was a blue-bottomed yellow-picture regiment dragon, sun and moon flag, and some military flags had the "Li" flag on them.

Fengcheng Hou Li Bin was originally one of the vanguard generals of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty and the deputy general under Zhang Fu.

Gradually, most of the cavalry showed their true colors, with a total of about 300 cavalry, but the formation of hundreds of cavalry was also quite large. They were all covered with iron armor, and the red tassels on the wide-eaves and iron helmets were shaking in the air, and the war horses were covered with leather armor. The iron hooves passed by, and the entire hillside seemed to be lit, and thick smoke was rising.

Li Bin pulled out the horse-knife from his back, pointed at the crowd in the valley, and shouted: "Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

"Long live!" The troops shouted one after another. The troops immediately began to kick the horse and speed up. The forwards were as if a knife was arched, and they spread straight towards the rebels' flanks...

Many of the rebels who were already standing on the road widened their eyes and looked at the dust that was gradually spreading in horror. Some of them subconsciously began to retreat.

The generals in the rebel crowd shouted: "Line up! The spearmen are ready to fight the enemy!"

Leley gritted his teeth and watched the scene in the north. His expression was very painful, but he quickly said, "We'll leave first."

Ruan Jian advised: "It seems that the Ming army has only a few hundred people. Once the king is pacified, the morale of the army will be unfavorable."

Li Li glanced at Ruan Jian and said, "Our army is over. Let's go!"

"Rumbling..." The charger rushed forward, and the black shadows flashed in the smoke, and countless arrows flew straight into the rebels' long formation, screaming everywhere. After a while, the iron cavalry showed his face from the dust, and the cherry spear pointed straight ahead.

In an instant, the rebel formation shouted and shook the sky. The Ming cavalry group rushed to the thin river bank like a flood and directly penetrated the rebel formation. Some rebel soldiers were knocked to the ground by war horses while running. In the thin square formation that was penetrated by many places, everyone turned around to escape to avoid the terrifying impact of the iron cavalry that followed.

The scene was very crazy. The rebel infantry lined up on the road could not resist the impact of the iron cavalry. When the cavalry arrived, it was simply destroyed.

"Ah!" A cherry spear pierced the chest of a rebel. The knight immediately gave up the cherry spear, pulled out the horse-knife from his back, and pulled it horizontally to the left. With the speed of the war horse's impact, the blade cut off the head of a rebel, almost cutting off half of the bloody head. The cavalry immediately waved his knife, swept from behind and forward to the right, and then someone screamed again, and blood beads splattered in the air.

The iron horses detoured on the road, rushing towards the vertical sweep of the rebel formation. The rebels were like rectangular strips of sand, which collapsed in an instant, and people fled to the sides of the road. The screams and the sound of killing were deafening, and the smell of blood spread in the dust.

The herd swept westward, on the dirt road, among the weeds, in the fields, all the way was full of corpses, and there were more living and frustrated people running around.

Ruan Jingyi, who was tied with his hands on the horse's back, was originally someone who led the horse, but at this time, the person who led the horse didn't know where it went; but he was full of cavalry and horses were running. He had already wanted to break free from the horse's back, but when he turned around, he saw that there were several horses running behind him, afraid that once he fell off the horse, he would be trampled to death immediately. He was a little hesitant.

Ruan Jingyi thought he was dead, but suddenly saw the Ming cavalry attacking, and at first he was very surprised.

But soon he remembered that Zhang Fu said that the Ming army deployed the guardians and carrier pigeons in various counties in the western regions, and stationed an elite force somewhere in Qinghua. He was preparing to use this elite force to conduct a mobile raid after learning about Lili's whereabouts.

The current Ming cavalry is probably the one that Zhang Fu mentioned. Because those people were deployed near Qinghua two years ago, they could hold on and wait for King Chen Zhengyuan's team to pass by before taking action.

Li Li's spies mainly focus on King Chen Zhengyuan's team; after Chen Zhengyuan left, the rebel spies might have followed him south.

Since the elite soldiers of Qinghua were cavalry, they could postpone their dispatch; and it seemed that they had successfully avoided the rebels' eyes and scouts.

At this moment, the Leli horse team began to pass through a narrow terrain, with a paddy field on the right. The two riders ran side by side, while Ruan Jingyi's horse was running on the right. He immediately seized the opportunity and struggled to flew off the horse's back and fell down.

With a "bang", Ruan Jingyi suddenly saw the stars flying around, and his body rolled forward on the ground. He screamed in pain, and suddenly fell into the mud of the paddy fields. His eyes went dark, and he turned around desperately, spit out two mouthfuls of mud and water, shook his head a few times and opened his eyes.

Someone shouted in front of him: "Ruan Jingyi fell down..."

The sound was soon drowned in the sound of horse hooves, and Lili's men continued to run westward, no longer caring about Ruan Jingyi.

Ruan Jingyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as the fear passed, a sense of anger in his heart rose. He immediately faced the Ming army's cavalry and shouted in Chinese: "Li Li, Li Li runs away, chase him!"

Finally someone heard the shouts, and a cavalry ran towards him.

Ruan Jingyi struggled to sit up, swung his head, signaled the direction of the people of Lili, and shouted: "Lili is there, just left!"

"Go!" A Ming army general kicked the horse and rushed over, and a team of horse soldiers followed...

The Ming army's war horses were not very suitable for camels and east on the mountain road, but the speed of war horses was greater than that of the Annan people. A group of Ming army soldiers chased after him for a while, and finally saw the Annan army team running away to the west.

The current Ming army general immediately threw away the long knife in his hand and took the bow and arrow. He chased after him for a while, then set off his bow and arrow, aiming at a man with a tutu head and armor.

"Bang!" The arrow flew out in response.

A horse neighed from a distance, and the cloaked man rolled down from the horse's back. The group of horse soldiers began to snatch the horse and shouted in a voice that they couldn't understand.

After a while, the rebels turned around and somebody went to rescue the person who was dismissed, and another team of people slapped and shouted and rushed over.

"Ah!" A cavalry swept his sword toward the Ming army general. The general's upper body leaned back and the war horse rushed past. Then he heard a scream. The enemy soldier was chopped by the Ming army cavalry behind him. The enemy soldier was knocked off his horse with a knife at the waist, and his intestines were also pulled all the way in the sand.

The Ming general leaned over and quickly rushed past the intercepted enemy cavalry. The sound of swords and screams of swords and soldiers hit behind him.

At this time, the man in the cloak got on a horse again and was kicking the horse's belly desperately. The general of the Ming army twisted his bow and arrow again, shot him with an arrow, and made the horse neigh, rushed forward a few steps and then turned to the ground.

"Ah!" Two more enemy soldiers came immediately.

The general of the Ming army pulled out his waist knife from his waist and killed the general head-on. He rushed by the middle of the enemy soldiers alone, and two "clang" sounds. The general of the general fell down the horse on his right side, and a knife was also cut off on his shoulder armor on his left.

After a while, more cavalry hurriedly followed and killed the remaining enemy soldiers. The general was still rushing in front and soon killed a literati riding a horse. The literati was intimidated and stared at the Ming army soldiers at a loss.

"Neal..." The general of the Ming army hit the literati's horse with his shoulders, and the man waved his hands and threw them off.

Suddenly, a group of Ming army horse soldiers surrounded two men. Ming army generals pointed at the man in the cloak with a blood-stained waist knife and asked, "Li Li?"

The man in a cloak raised his head and sighed without answering. Suddenly, behind him, a Ming army soldier jumped off the horse's back and threw him to the ground. Everyone dismounted and captured the man alive.

A group of Ming soldiers found ropes, tied the two prisoners, and escorted them back along the way.

After walking for a long time, the Ming army and horse team met Ruan Jingyi. Ruan Jingyi, who had been sitting in the paddy field and shouting, had been dragged onto the road. He was standing by the side of the road and watching, his hands were still tied.

A general from the Ming army asked Ruan Jingyi: "Is this person Li Li?"

Ruan Jingyi glanced at it and said in Chinese, "That's right, the person wearing a robe next to him is Li Li's confidant adviser, Ruan Jian. My name is Ruan Jingyi. I know Zhang Dashen, the Marquis of Xincheng. I must inform you."

The general of the Ming army looked at Ruan Jingyi, who was covered in mud, and nodded.

Li Li turned his head and said in Annan dialect: "Ruan Jingyi, I treat you well, but I didn't expect you to be a despicable villain!"

Ruan Jingyi didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Li coldly.

Li Li said again: "Do you know that you are a sinner of Dayue? A sinner of the ages! You help the evil and let the ships enslave Dayue, and our country will be endless from now on."

Ruan Jian, who was beside him, stared at Ruan Jingyi with a heartbroken and angry look.

Ruan Jingyi suddenly spoke, "What does it have to do with me? Anyway, I'm going to make a fortune."
