Wang Bin led hundreds of cavalry to advance to the northwest; when he reached Niuyue Ridge, Wang Bin encountered a group of enemy troops and the defeated soldiers from the south.
The two armies rushed for two rounds, and the enemy was defeated and retreated to the northeast.
Wang Bin's troops passed through Niuyueling Village and ran through the open land and vegetable fields within a radius of several miles, and saw that the main force of the enemy had withdrawn from here.
There were many things thrown around, and tents, vehicles and grain were everywhere, and it was a mess.
There were three or five groups of scattered cavalry running northwards; it seemed that the official cavalry was not in good condition and had been defeated in many places.
Another large group of official cavalrymen stared at Wang Bin's troops!
But at this time, another Han Wang army team in the east was advancing rapidly to the north; the official army team went to intercept the Han Wang army there.
Wang Bin ignored it and led the crowd to continue walking northwest.
Wang Bin has guessed: Qu Nengjun has not yet been able to break through the Huangbei River!
Then Wang Bin's fighter opportunity to establish great achievements at the critical point will still exist.
His credentials are simple.
The number of cavalry in the official army seems to be more than that of the Ping'an army, and may exceed ten thousand cavalry!
This is Wang Bin's sense. He knew that Ping'an army had as many as seven or eight thousand cavalry, but the number of local officials and horse soldiers fighting everywhere seemed to be slightly superior.
The official cavalry is not good at fighting, but they have not retreated north on a large scale yet... If Qu Neng had already broken through the Huangbei River, he would penetrate into the territory of the official army from the northwest; in that case, the official cavalry vanguard would definitely retreat northward in large areas, otherwise they would be divided and surrounded on the battlefield of the horse war!
To the north of Niuyue Ridge, there is a large undulating hillside.On the south side of the hill are weeds and shrub forests, and trees appear to grow on the top and on the north side.
drive!Wang Bin shouted and rushed upwards to the smoothest place.The soldiers also came up to the hillside.
Although the slope on the south side is not steep, it is a very large slope.After a while, Wang Bin took the lead in rushing to the top of the slope, and the scene in front of him suddenly became wider.
Deep in his sight, there were government troops everywhere in the north.At first glance, those people in a queue seemed to cover the entire earth!
Wang Bin looked back at the Fourth Field Army and found no movement in the north.He thought to himself: Qu Nengjun is indeed still on the west bank of Huangbei River!
Standing on the high ground, Wang Bin looked to the left and saw the Yellow River bank; there was a large mountain forest in front of him, which looked like a horizontal position, and it was probably at least four or five miles wide!
To the south on the right, there are many small mountains and forests with complex terrain. At the farthest point there, there is a large mountain forest.
Wang Bin observed carefully for a long time and found that the official army had gradually organized the first curved infantry defense line nearly ten miles along the terrain north of Niuyue Ridge!
The gaps in some mountains and forests are very narrow, and a team of hundreds of households is enough to form a defensive formation.
With this line of defense at most five or six large and small openings, and with the arrangement of ambushes in the mountains and forests, the official army may only have a hundred 100-hundred-houses and 10,000 infantry soldiers, and a large-scale and relatively difficult defense line.
Seeing this situation, Wang Bin already felt that Zhang Fu was a very powerful general.
Wang Bin is now just a commander who commands hundreds of people, but he was not in this situation before!
Wang Bin used to be one of the three escort commanders of the Han Wangfu, and he was in charge of the escort training for a long time. He often served as a vanguard in Yunnan's previous battles to combat rebellion. During the Battle of Crime, Wang Bin also commanded an army of more than 10,000 people.
Therefore, his experience and insight are more than one cavalry general with hundreds of people.
At this time, Wang Bin roughly understood the situation on the battlefield... If Qu Nengjun could not attack the official army sideways, it would be unlikely to break through this official army infantry defense line with the Ping'an army cavalry alone.
It will take time to break through when Sheng Yong’s main force arrives.
This battle will take a long time!
Wang Bin immediately found three smart personal soldiers and pointed to the mountains and forests in the distance and said: Look at the mountain, the enemy formations in the middle; look southeasterly...
He roughly described the deployment of the government army and ordered: You should go back separately, find General Ping, and report the military information!
The three knights clasped their fists and said: Get the order!
Wang Bin pointed to the white linen on their helmets and said: The thing was taken.
According to Ping An's military order, Wang Bin tried to rush to Wenchang Bridge in Huangbei River, attacked the official troops guarding the bridge from behind, and seized the bridge.
But in the current situation, the two ferries on the Huangbei River are north of the first line of defense of the government army!
Wang Bin must cross the first infantry defense line of the government army and break through to the north before he can get close to Wenchang Bridge.
He watched the battlefield anxiously, trying to find a breakthrough.He kept silently reciting: The government army temporarily formed a front line of nearly ten miles wide, and there must be a hole!
Wang Bin looked at it for a while, and his eyes finally returned to the front of the mountain forest!
It was not a mountain, but a few mountains, and there were some slightly less steep places in the middle, with mountain roads up the mountain.
But on the two mountain roads that Wang Bin could see, you could see figures with your eyes.
What's more, the cavalry climbed over the mountains through the forest and couldn't get faster, and it would take a long time to delay!
Wang Bin's eyes stared at a low ground in the middle of the two mountains. Wang Bin couldn't see what was going on in the mountains there, but he was blocked by the mountains from this angle; but he intuitively thought there was a chance there.
At this time, there is no need to hesitate too much. Wang Bin used his finger and shouted: Brothers, come with me!
The riders rushed down the slightly gentle hillside to the left.
They passed through a small wood and came to a valley.
Then Wang Bin led his army to turn right and ran along the valley at the foot of the mountain and towards the northeast.
They crossed outside a village, followed the foot of the mountain under the northern mountain range, and turned north again; soon Wang Bin arrived at the lowland between the two mountains.
Sure enough, Wang Bin did not see a figure of an official soldier!
But the mountains on both sides of the lowlands are very steep and are shrub forests.
The shrub forest is much harder to walk on than the big forest. Although the small trees are short, their branches are growing randomly on all sides. You have to hold a hatchet to open the road while driving.
No wonder there are no traces of enemy troops here!
Between the steep slopes, there is a pool of water, and the waterside is completely against the mountain.It looks like there is no way out.
Wang Bin slapped his horse and rushed to the pond, looked at the withered aquatic plants and lotus leaves growing on the water for a while, then turned over and got off the horse and led the horse down the pond.
General Wang!The personal soldiers called out.
Wang Bin turned around and said: You guys are coming down too, and follow me in a team.
Get order!
Everyone led their horses to wade through the water, and the deepest part was only at their waists.Soon, Wang Bin turned around and shouted, and the troops dismounted and led their horses down the pond one after another.
Wang Bin and others leaned against the hillside to the west on the left and walked through the pond to the north one after another.A high ridge is easily seen in front of me, but there is a valley on the left.
So Wang Bin and others, who were soaked in half, got on their horses one after another, turned left, and continued to ride along the valley.
After a while, a scream came from the mountains and forests on the north side! Wang Bin didn't know what they were shouting, but he understood that there were enemies in the forest anyway.
The cavalry ran west along the valley for a while, and at this time they had reached the north side of the Sloe Mountains.Soon, noisy voices came from the north, and the infantry phalanx appeared in the distance to Wang Bin’s right!
Wang Bin looked back a few times, determined his position, and shouted: Follow me to detour south and attack the Huangbei River ferry ferry!
A general around him hurriedly said: General Ping's military order should be asked to attack Wenchang Bridge.
Wang Bin was too lazy to say more and said coldly: So what?
The general was speechless.After all, in the eyes of the soldiers, Wang Bin dared to disobey the military orders of King Han, and it seemed normal for him to disobey the military orders of Ping An.
The ferry crossing of the Huangbei River is on the west side of the mountain, and the shore is the forest.
At this time, Wang Bin could already hear the sound over there, and the sound of strings came from a distance, and the sound of muskets and sporadic cannons became louder and louder!
Not long after, the water of the Huangbei River appeared in sight.There were loud shouts in the forest on the river bank, and the figures of enemy soldiers on the edge of the forest could be seen.
Wang Bin raised his hand and gradually pulled the horse, gathered and rectified the hundreds of riders who had run over.
He raised his cherry gun and said loudly: Brothers, we are now surrounded by all sides. Only by breaking the enemy troops guarding the river ahead can we get the support of General Qu's army.If you want to live, work hard!It is also a pleasure to fight to the last person!
After hearing this, the soldiers roared one after another, not sure whether it was fear or anger.
Wang Bin turned around and shouted: Youheng and the left flag obeyed the order.
A general clasped his fists and said: The last general is here!
Wang Bin pointed to the front with his cherry gun: The first team scattered, go up!
Get order!A shout came, and more than ten riders rushed out.
Wang Bin pointed to another place, and the second team was dispersed, go up!
Not long after, more than fifty cavalry on the front rushed towards various places in sparse formations.
The sound of strings sounded in the woods, and arrows flew out from all sides, and occasionally cavalry were caught and fell off their horses.
Not long after, a loud bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang amid a dense sound of muskets, and several cavalrymen in front were dancing on the horse's backs, screaming in terror, and their swords and guns were gone.
Seeing this, Wang Bin raised his cherry gun high, then pointed to the front left, shouting: All brothers in the army obey the order, kill!
The armies rushed forward one after another, and people shouted: King Han is our king!
Everyone rushed straight to the woods, and only sporadic sounds of strings came from here, and no firearms exploded.The riders rushed into the woods one after another.
Bang bang bang... A few strings sounded in the forest. Wang Bin heard the rustling sound of arrows sweeping through the leaves, and then a screamed and a horse fell off the horse's back.
The Han Wangjun also shot with crackling shots, and the arrow feathers nailed into the tree trunk were trembling violently.
Wang Bin saw a figure and rushed for a few steps. Sure enough, he saw an enemy soldier turning around behind the tree and ran away. Wang Bin picked up the cherry gun and caught up with him.
All the cavalry rushed into the woods one after another, and screams came from time to time from time to time.
The two armies rushed for two rounds, and the enemy was defeated and retreated to the northeast.
Wang Bin's troops passed through Niuyueling Village and ran through the open land and vegetable fields within a radius of several miles, and saw that the main force of the enemy had withdrawn from here.
There were many things thrown around, and tents, vehicles and grain were everywhere, and it was a mess.
