Chapter 133 The sound of Lingbi cannons (2)

8days ago Historical fiction 7
The battle between Qimeishan broke out on the 22nd winter moon, and Xu Huizu was transferred away; 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 him, 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 with the Yàn division for a period of time in Lingbi and wait for the legendary reinforcements from various provinces to arrive!

...On the morning of the 27th day of the winter month, Ping'an heard that the food road was harassed, so he 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 grain had been allocated and he would soon arrive in Lingbi.As long as there is no shortage of food and money in the army, it is 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 out of trouble.

Ping An's appearance and performance are very rough and bold, and he is quick in his work and often gives people a sense of no thought, but he is thinking about things quickly... After all, fighting is not a war. If he has no brains, how can he fight?

While cursing, he thought: the Yàn division was defeated on the 22nd. Just a few days later, the main camp of the enemy was still on the north bank of Sui River.

At this time, King Yàn can at most send some cavalry to harass him, and I am not afraid of him at all.

In the afternoon, a scout came to report that the cavalry of the Yàn 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: Arrange on the spot, and prepare for war!

Not long after, drums and horns in the army sounded together, and tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry were mainly infantry and 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, and the figures on the horizon were undulating on the horse's back, turbulent like the water in the wind and waves.

Ping An was surprised to see this. He didn't have so many cavalrymen from the Yàn Division and came so quickly!

So Ping'an personally led the horse team to gather in the rear, preparing to wait for the Yàn Division to attack first, and then lead the few cavalry to gather opportunities and then take action!

He also took a long halberd in his hand to get farther away, and wanted to find an opportunity to kill King Yàn himself.

The cavalry came very quickly, and the shouts in the west were shaking, and large areas of iron cavalry came over the dry fields and small mounds of wasteland.

The straw piled up in the distance and the houses in the village ignited a fire, and the smoke rolled in the fields, adding to the momentum of the cavalry of the Yàn Division.

The government army was also shouting loudly, and the generals shouted and scolded everywhere, and the spears of the infantrymen in front of the government army had been flattened.

The two rows in front are full of armored guns and shield soldiers, which not only prevent cavalry from raiding and shooting, but also prevent cavalry from attacking.

After a while, the enemy's vanguard rushed over, bows and arrows flew in the air, muskets bang bang... There was a straight sound, and the west side of the entire road was covered with dust and smoke, and there was a hustle and bustle.

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.

King Yàn himself should have come in person, and King Yàn rarely stayed out of the battles.

Ping An scolded in public: I will kill you in the battle, and I won’t want the food and salary!

King Yàn 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; King Yàn'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 the cavalry to break through, and King Yàn was also very persistent in circling his back.After a long time, an enemy cavalry actually came around the east side of the road!

Seeing this, Ping'an ordered: Come and tell the left wing Chen Hui, and look for an opportunity to attack Yàn from the south.The horse team set out and fight with me!

He then gently lifted his long halberd and slapped his horse to lead the cavalry toward the south.The Yàn Division Team fled eastward and rushed towards Ping An.

Papapapapapa... A string sounded in front of him, and Ping'an could see clearly the running horse, the cavalry of the Yàn who were lying on his body and pulling his bow.

He didn't take the heavy iron shield and axe today, so he used 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 with a tingling sound.

In an instant, the two armies met, and there were loud shouts of killing around them and metal knocking sounds. 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 no one could stop the safety in the cavalry battle.

As the people shouted and horses were neighing, many cavalrymen of the Yàn division actually retreated, avoiding Ping'an, and only used bows to shoot far.

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 had to lead his army to escape to the north.

At this moment, a turmoil in the center of the formation was in chaos.Ping An stretched out his neck and looked around, and finally saw that King Yàn himself was in the horse team, wielding his sword to lead the army to break through two square formations in a row.

Seeing this, the horse soldiers of the Yàn division 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 north and rushed towards the north.

Ping'an hurriedly turned his horse's head, waved to the north and continued running, leading the horse team to circle behind the formation.

The archers behind the invading formation shot flat and attacked the pursuers of the Yàn Division in a sideways. The enemy troops ran north for a while and were caught in the arrows.

So Ping An walked 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 Yàn divisions on both sides of the east and west are slashing back and forth.The Ping'an Army has been cut into two sections in the north and south.

At this moment, the south side was waving... A loud footsteps sounded, and Ping'an saw several infantry columns running forward, counterattacking 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 center of the formation.

Cavalry and archers flew over, the infantry column's shields clanging and shoulder armor jingling, and the troops rushed with arrows.

Ping'an first killed his horse from the rear of the infantry, killing several people in succession, and the cavalry jumped on horseback to rush out bravely.

The Yàn division 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 weapons and flags were mixed together, and there was a mess.

Not far away, a horse neighed and wanted to stand up, but it still fell into a pool of blood.

Ping An slapped his horse through the square formation and looked at the large number of people flew far away to the west. Master Yàn was still watching from a distance.

Soon, a cavalry from the north sent a military newspaper. 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 Fu's hands are stern.

Ping An was very happy and received He Fu's response. 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 whole big face turned red!He didn't know that the vanguard of the Yàn Division was Zhu Gaoxu. No wonder the Yàn King would lead a large number of cavalry to move south in a hurry. It must be that Zhu Gaoxu had already figured out the intentions of the official army...

Zhu Gaoxu is very cunning!When he was in the capital, why didn’t the emperor cut him straight?

Some people in the capital said that Gaoyang Wang was extremely powerful and very brave. Ping An had contacted him many times and did not have a deep impression of Zhu Gaoxu's courage, 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 his mother He Fu, how did the army of tens of thousands be defeated?

The sun was already hanging in the west, facing the dazzling sunset, Ping An saw King Yàn's men gradually retreating.

At this time, several generals came over one after another and asked: General Ping, the army has retreated, should we continue to move south?

Go south to a bird!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 one will be obeyed!

Ping An hasn't laughed for several days, and he really can't laugh.The battle is getting more and more frustrating, and I am waiting to be beaten every time!

...At this time, Qiu Fu led a team of infantry and cavalry to get close to Zhu Gaoxu's camp first.

Congratulations, King Gaoyang defeated He Fu, who was brave enough to defeat the three armies!Qiu Fu laughed when he met.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: It’s just that he’s lucky.I have said a long time ago that where the army wants to pass, at least the nearby forests and villages need to send people to see it, and 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 would go and intercept Ping An soon!I guessed that He Fu might have to go to rescue him, so I picked a place to set up an ambush...

I thought it was useless, but 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. Things in the world are 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 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 as a loach, and it is not easy to catch him.The only time I succeeded was in the battle of Sui Shui River.It was an encounter, Ping An rushed to the battlefield and encountered heavy fog again.I asked for a cheaper one.

He paused and laughed: The situation of peace is already unfavorable, we don’t have to take risks, we just need to fight steadily.Otherwise, if Ping An seized the opportunity and bitten it back, wouldn’t it be unfair?

So Zhu Gaoxu discussed with Qiu Fu, marched slowly, waiting for the subsequent army to catch up, and surrounded the Lingbi official army together.
