The 133rd chapter Lingbi's cannon (2)
The Qimeishan Battle broke out on the 22nd day of the winter moon, and then Xu Huizu was transferred; two days later, He Fujun of Ping'an moved to Lingbi.
As soon as Xu Huizu left, Ping'an was even short of cavalry. He was very negative at the beginning and wanted to persuade He Fu to retreat to the Huaihe River and move the front south again.
Because He Fu dissuaded, Ping'an agreed to stay in Lingbi for the time being. He Fu was mainly worried that retreating again and again would make the imperial monarch and minister even more dissatisfied; so he wanted to fight the Yan army for a while after the legendary "reinforcements from various provinces" arrived!
...On the morning of the 27th day of the winter moon, Ping'an heard that the food road was attacked and immediately decided to lead his army south to open up the food road.
He agreed to stay in Lingbi to see the situation. The biggest reason was that he just learned that a large amount of money and food had been allocated and he would be able to arrive in Lingbi soon. As long as there is no shortage of food and money in the army, it would be okay to stick to the opportunity.
Ping'an led tens of thousands of people out of Lingbi, and he was still cursing himself in the team, and no general dared to come up and get into trouble.
Ping An's appearance and performance are very rough and bold, and he is quick in his work, often giving people a sense of no thought, but he is quick in his mind... After all, fighting is not a war. If he has no brains, how can he fight?
While cursing, he thought: The Yan army was defeated on the 22nd. Just a few days later, the main enemy camp was still on the north bank of Sui River. At this time, the King of Yan transferred at most some cavalry to attack, and I was not afraid of him at all.
In the afternoon, a scout came to report that the cavalry of the Yan Division came from the west!
Ping An looked around and saw that the army was on a flat dry land. He immediately cursed again and ordered: "Line up on the ground, and each battalion prepares for war!"
Soon, drums and horns in the army sounded together, and tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry were mainly infantry, arranged square arrays, and the square array groups formed curved long strips along the road.
The sound of horse hooves in the distance became more and more obvious. The figures on the horizon rose and fell on the horse's back, and were as turbulent as the water in the wind and waves. Ping An was surprised to see this. He did not come so many cavalry in the Yan Division, and it came so quickly!
So Ping'an personally led the horse team to gather in the rear, preparing to wait for the Yan Division to attack first, and then lead the few cavalry to gather opportunities and then take action! He also took a long spear in his hand so that he could reach farther. He wanted to find an opportunity to get the dead King of Yan himself.
The cavalry came very quickly, and the shouts in the west were shaking. Large areas of iron cavalry crossed the dry fields and small mounds filled the wasteland. The straw piled up in the distance, the fires ignited in the village houses, and thick smoke rolled on the fields, adding to the momentum of the cavalry of the Yan Division.
The official army was also shouting loudly, and the generals were shouting and scolding everywhere. The spears of the infantrymen in front of the official army had been flattened. The two rows of armored guns and shield soldiers were all covered with armor, which not only prevented cavalry from raiding, but also prevented iron cavalry from attacking.
After a while, the enemy's vanguard rushed over, bows and arrows flew in the air, and muskets "bang bang bang..." sounded straight, and to the west of the entire road, dust and smoke covered the sky, and there was noisy.
Ping An sat on the horse without moving. He only stared at the square "Fengtian Jingnan" banner that he had seen many times, and saw it appear and disappear in the smoke of gunpowder. The King of Yan himself should have come in person. During the wars, the King of Yan rarely stayed away.
Ping An scolded in public: "I won't want the food and salary when I kill Yan Ni in the battlefield!"
The King of Yan had no new tricks, so he quickly deviated to the south, running farther and farther, and the flag could not be seen... At this time, the official army was forced to form a rectangular formation on the road, which was not deep enough, but the horizontal direction was very wide; the King of Yan's old tricks deviated back strike, and this time he was going to run far.
The official army deployed a dense array of guns and shields in front of it, which made it difficult for cavalry to break through, and the King of Yan was also very persistent in circling around the back. After a long time, an enemy cavalry actually came around to the east of the road!
Seeing this, Ping'an ordered: "Come, go and tell the left wing Chen Hui, look for an opportunity to attack Yan Ni from the south. The horse team set out and rushed with me!"
He then gently lifted up his long halberd, slapped his horse and led the cavalry to the south. The Yan Division's horse team fled eastward, and then rushed towards Ping'an.
"Papapapapa..." There were strings in front of him, and Ping'an could see clearly that the running war horse was on his body and the Yan cavalry was lying on his body to draw a bow. He did not take the heavy iron shield and iron axe today, so he played a trick, turned the long halberd lightly in front of him, and threw it like a top, blocking the arrows shot in front of him, and knocked it out "ding ding dangdang".
In an instant, the two armies met, and shouts of killing around them were loud, and metal hitting sounds were heard. Ping An rode his horse and rushed left and right. Wherever the long halberd went, many enemy soldiers were caught. The cavalry ran quickly and the formation was sparse, and Ping An could no longer stop him in the cavalry battle.
As the people shouted and horses were neighing, many cavalrymen of the Yan Division actually retreated, hiding from peace, and only rode their bows to shoot away.
But Ping'an's horse soldiers were obviously not as brave as him. After rushing for a while, he found that there were many empty horses with no one on the horses on their backs around him, running with the cavalry team.
Ping An had been hit by a few arrows in his armor, and his strength was so strong that he had to lead his army to escape to the north.
At this moment, a turmoil in the center of the formation. Ping An stretched out his neck and looked around, and finally saw that the King of Yan himself was in the horse team, wielding his sword and leading his army to break through two square formations in succession.
Seeing this, the cavalry of the Yan army on the west side of the main road rushed to the front. Ping An saw that the middle of the formation was about to be penetrated, but he had no choice but to do anything. At this time, an enemy general led the cavalry to roar to the north and rushed towards the north.
Ping'an hurriedly turned his horse's head, waved his hand to continue running north, and led the horse team to circle behind the formation. The stair bows behind the formation shot flat and attacked the pursuers of Yan's division on the side. The enemy troops ran north for a while, and many arrows fell off the horse. So Ping'an turned around and turned around and took the long halberd and killed him!
Several phalanx infantry in the center of the formation have been defeated, and the Yan divisions on both sides of the east and west are slashing back and forth. The Ping'an Army has been cut in half into two sections of the north and south.
At this moment, there was a loud sound of footsteps in the south, and Ping'an saw several infantry columns running forward, attacking the enemy cavalry in the middle!
So Ping An ordered the three thousand generals in the north wing to attack and support, and then he then led the cavalry to charge and attack the enemy soldiers in the middle of the formation.
Cavalry and archers flew over, the shields of the infantry column clanged, and the shoulder armors jingled, and the army rushed forward with arrows. Ping'an, a horse, killed several people, and the cavalry jumped on horseback to rush out bravely.
The Yan army finally retreated, and Ping An ordered the infantry to stop pursuing and fill the vacant on the spot... Anyway, I can't catch up!
The morale of the officials and soldiers was greatly boosted, and the troops shouted in unison, with a magnificent and majestic appearance.
But the shouts stopped, and the screams on all sides were still endless. The bodies and the dead wounded soldiers were everywhere, and the weapons and flags were mixed together, and there was a mess. Not far away, a horse was neighing and trying to stand up, but still fell in a pool of blood.
Ping An patted his horse through the square formation and looked at the large number of people flew far away to the west, Master Yan was still watching from a distance.
Soon, cavalry sent a military newspaper to the north. Ping An opened it and saw that the general had moved to the camp and led the main force to the south to reinforce General Ping. He Fushu.
Ping An was very happy and received He Fu's help. They could get close to the location of food, pay and supplies tonight.
Unexpectedly, after a while, someone sent a military newspaper... He Fu's army was ambushed by King Gaoyang and rushed back to Lingbi camp!
Ping An's face turned red! He didn't know that the Yan Division's vanguard was Zhu Gaoxu. No wonder the King of Yan led a large number of cavalry to rush south. It must be that Zhu Gaoxu had already figured out the intentions of the official army...
Zhu Gaoxu is very cunning! His mother was in the capital, why didn’t the emperor cut him straight?
Some people in the capital said that Gaoyang's king was extremely powerful and very brave. Ping An had contacted him many times and did not have a deep impression of Zhu Gaoxu's bravery, but he thought that the man was just a slippery person.
Ping'an complained all over and thought to himself: Even so, Gao Xu has only 10,000 people at most. How did the tens of thousands of troops be defeated?
The sun was already hanging in the west. Facing the dazzling sunset, Ping An saw that the King of Yan gradually retreated.
At this time, several generals came over one after another and asked, "General Ping, the Yan army has retreated, should we continue to move south?"
"Go to the south!" Ping'an cursed, "He Fu has no food in Lingbi. If I separate my troops and leave, he doesn't know how to die! He ordered the troops to return to Lingbi camp overnight!"
"The last general will obey the order!"
Ping An hasn't laughed for several days, and he really can't laugh. The battle is getting worse and worse, and he is waiting to be beaten up every time!
...At this time, Qiu Fu led a skeleton and cavalry to approach Zhu Gaoxu's camp first.
"Congratulations, King Gaoyang defeated He Fu with few defeats, and he was really braver to the three armies!" Qiu Fu laughed when he met.
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm lucky. I've said a long time ago that the places where the army wants to pass, at least the nearby forests and villages have to send people to see it, so He Fu was negligent. When my cavalry suddenly rushed out, he didn't even have time to set up a formation, so it would be strange if he didn't collapse!"
Qiu Fu said calmly: "That was King Gaoyang who left early. If he went there again temporarily, he would definitely be discovered by Qiu Fu's scout."
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "As soon as Ping'an set out, I sent a letter to my father. The father said he was going to intercept Ping'an soon! I guessed that He Fu might have to go to rescue him, so he picked a place to set up an ambush...
I thought it was useless, so I just wanted to delay He Fujun and win the opportunity for my father. Unexpectedly, man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and the world is always not as expected, so He Fu simply defeated and ran back."
"Hahaha..." Qiu Fu raised his head and laughed.
Qiu Fu said again: "Ping'an should have to return to Lingbi. King Gaoyang didn't want to ambush Ping'an again?"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "Ping'an is not He Fu. This person is very cunning and slippery, not easy to catch. The only time I succeeded was in the battle at Sui Shui River. It was an encounter. Ping'an rushed to the battlefield and encountered heavy fog again. I asked for a bargain."
He paused and laughed, "Hehe" and said, "This situation in Ping'an is already unfavorable. We don't have to take risks, we just need to fight steadily. Otherwise, if Ping'an seizes the opportunity and bites it back, wouldn't it be unfair?"
