Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 219 36th Battalion
I am also secretly rejoicing in my heart:

It's a good thing that the Governor-General didn't blame us for the past, otherwise, we wouldn't know how we died!

At this time, Li, Ma, and Luo, who were under artillery fire, were not fortunate.

Although he was lucky enough not to be hit by the bomb, he was in a state of embarrassment. He hid from the left or dodged from the right. He wanted to leave the battlefield, but found that the bomb behind him exploded even more violently. Killed by a bomb.

Seeing that the effect of the bomb had been achieved and the bandits panicked, Wang Zhi immediately ordered Zhuo Yifan to stop the shelling and at the same time ordered the cavalry to prepare to charge.

The sound of the shells firing stopped suddenly, and the three men and horses who were forced by the bombing were still circling around in place. Wang Zhi yelled and rushed out first.

Then, the cavalry behind and Wu Sangui's troops on the right also rushed out.

Immediately, there was a dense sound of horseshoes and shouts of 'kill' on the battlefield.

The bandits were taken aback immediately, they didn't have the heart to fight, they quickly turned their horses and fled towards Yan'an Mansion.

The wise man rode his horse and fled towards Ansai. Wang Zhi's cavalry did not scatter in pursuit, but caught Li, Ma, and Luo in hot pursuit.

Li, Ma, and Luo hit their horses and fled in a hurry, followed by more than 1000 riders from the three people's personal guard battalion.

It was funny to say that the three of them equipped themselves and their personal guards with all the heavy armor they had seized, which made the horses run slower, and when they sprinted down, the horses were too weak and the speed was very slow.

On the other hand, Wang Zhi's personal guards and Shen Lian's cavalry were equipped with lighter equipment than ordinary armor. This pursuit gradually revealed their advantages.

In just half a quarter of an hour, he caught up with Li, Ma, and Luo in front of him.

Without saying a word, Wang Zhi, who was in the front, directly stabbed Ma Shouying, who was running at the back, with his long spear. Ma Shouying, who was so good, turned around eagerly, raised his long spear, and shot at Wang Zhi.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhi's long spears were all made of mild steel, no matter in terms of weight or quality, they were not comparable to Ma Shouying's arbor wood spears.

Borrowing his strength and smashing down, he heard the sound of 'clang, click', the wooden gun shaft in Ma Shouying's hand broke into two pieces, Wang Zhi raised his spear, and the tip of the spear pierced Ma Shouying's throat.

Ma Shouying was very good at riding, and leaned back on the horse, narrowly avoiding the fate of being shot through the throat.

Wang Zhi simply smashed the raised spear one by one, hitting Ma Shouying's chest.

Ma Shouying, who was on the horse, quickly rolled over and fell to the ground, avoiding Wang Zhi's spear.

Wang Zhi reacted quickly, rode his horse forward, and stabbed Ma Shouying in the chest who was about to get up.

Ma Shouying, who really couldn't dodge, let out a howl of pain, and the point of the gun pierced his chest. Ma Shouying held Wang Zhi's gun barrel with both hands.

The cold touch made him know that Wang Zhishi's gun body was made of iron, and he was wronged to die!

Ma Shouying knew that he was going to die, and at last, unwilling, he glanced at Wang Zhi, whose eyes were cold immediately, with a big stream of blood coming out of his mouth, and muttered:
"I'm not reconciled!"

After saying that, he died right away, Wang Zhi pulled out the tip of his spear without changing his expression, and galloped his horse to chase Li and Luo who were fleeing.

It's a pity that before Wang Zhi could catch up with the two, he was caught up by Monk and Gangzi on horseback. In one round, they killed the guards in front, and they fought with Li and Luo.

Monk and Gangzi are both masters of martial arts. Among the three, Ma Shouying, the most powerful, was killed by Wang Zhi. Naturally, Li and Luo were not rivals of Monk. They were killed by Monk and Gangzi after only a few rounds. die.

The personal guards behind Wang Zhi, Shen Lian's cavalry, and Wu Sangui's cavalry chased and killed the fleeing bandit cavalry.

This chase lasted for an hour. Except for those who knelt and surrendered, the rest of the more than 3000 rebels who dared to resist were hacked and killed.

After the war, Wang Zhi ordered people to clean up the battlefield, and he brought his personal guards into the Yan'an mansion to screen out the evil bandits and resettle the good people who were kidnapped.

This busy work, another week passed, during which time, Ding Baifeng's disciples went around to inquire about the news of the bandits, and learned:
Fearing the combat power of Wang Zhi's troops, the rebels had all gathered in the direction of Mizhi, preparing to team up with dozens of rebels to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers in Mizhi.

This made Wang Zhi very happy in his heart, the riotous operation of the bandits directly saved Wang Zhi the trouble of running around to suppress the bandits.

That being the case, Wang Zhi decided to stay in Yan'an Mansion for a longer period of time, so that more bandits could gather together, and then wipe them all out in one go.

And after Wang Zuogui joined Wang Zhi, he also trained with Shen Lian's cavalry battalion. Although his strength had not improved much, his military discipline had improved significantly.

It took another half a month to wait, and according to reports from the scouts, Mizhi had assembled 30 bandits, of which 5 were capable of fighting.

What Wang Zhi didn't know was that during the period, Li Zicheng proposed to divide his troops out of Shaanxi and develop their own strategy, but it was a pity that they didn't get the approval of the leaders. There is time and space to grow and thrive.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to train his uncle's "loyalty battalion" desperately, in order to protect his uncle when the war started.

Obviously, Li Zicheng is not optimistic about these mob-like rebels assembled temporarily.

On this day, the weather was fine, so Wang Zhi led his team to head towards Mizhi.

There were hardly any people in sight along the way, obviously they were taken to Mizhi by the bandits.

Wang Zhi hated these people very much in his heart, although you were forced to kill officials and rebel, but coercing refugees and common people, leaving the entire northern Shaanxi field barren and uncultivated, is not right.

If it were me, I only need to kill corrupt officials, landlords and squires, and divide the land evenly, so that the people have hope of survival.

It really complied with the sentence, 'mud cannot support a wall'. Without the disguised help of corrupt officials, they would not have successfully captured the capital and forced Chongzhen to death.

After some random thinking, the team rushed to the border of Mizhi within a few days at an extremely fast speed.

Through the report of the scouts, Wang Zhi knew that the bandits had formed the 36th Battalion with blood as an alliance, and elected the leader of the 36th Route.

It's just that the improvised 36th Battalion obviously didn't have the strength of the original 36th Battalion in history. Wang Zhi was sure to defeat them in one fell swoop. There was no way, Wang Zhi's army was too small, and it was obviously unrealistic to wipe them all out.

We can only try our best to kill the bandit leaders from all walks of life, and the most important thing is to restore the vitality of northern Shaanxi as soon as possible.

The 36th Battalion also found out the news of the arrival of Wang Zhi's troops. After a quarrel, they finally decided to fight the official army on the plain outside Mizhi.

Thus, the two sides arrived at the plain outside Mizhi.
