Bright Spring

On the north bank of the small river of Suishui, the field is like a huge pot of porridge.The dust kicked up by the horse team flowed across the ground like a muddy flood.There were also scattered soldiers running around, adding to the chaos on the battlefield.

While observing the chaos in his sight, Qiu Fu thought hard, trying to connect the scene in front of him with the original deployment and threading the needle!

His troops first assembled at the military camp on the north bank of the Xiaohe River, and then advanced towards the south pontoon bridge, trying to take back the few pontoon bridges that had been erected with great effort.

However, after He Fu's officers and soldiers crossed the river in front, they became more and more numerous; so the Chen Wen Department of the Northern Army, which was located behind Qiu Fu, rushed up first and reached Qiu Fu's right flank, forming a large front line formation.

Qiu Fu, Chen Wen and other northern army cavalry confronted He Fu's troops from north to south.

The scene was a little more complicated, the three groups of men and horses were facing different directions, and the cavalry was making roundabouts again, and the situation became more and more muddy.

Then Chen Wen, the general of the Northern Army on the right, was beheaded by the cavalry of the official army, and most of the infantry was defeated.Ping'an's infantry and cavalry divided their troops to attack the right wing of Qiu Fu's tribe, and then divided their troops to attack the King Yan's camp in the north.

This was not chaotic enough, the northern army Gaoyang Wang Buqi came from the forest in the northwest and attacked Ping'an's flanks!

... King Gaoyang's cavalry pierced left and right, and Qiu Fu didn't know where they were now.

But at this time, all the cavalry of the officers and soldiers withdrew from the battlefield and returned to the northwest for assistance. Qiu Fu felt that the pressure on the right wing dropped sharply.He guessed: It should be King Gaoyang who attracted the army.

Seeing that the frontal camp was stable and the flanks were finally avoided the danger of being torn apart, Qiu Fu took a deep breath and let it out again.

A feces|piss stench, mixed with a fishy smell, poured into Qiu Fu's mouth suddenly, Qiu Fu suddenly felt retched, and almost spit out the contents of his stomach!This smell is not unfamiliar, the more people die on the battlefield, the more the smell will get worse... People who are full of food will become incontinent after death.

Qiu Fu frowned and thought for a long time, then gave a loud cry, patted his horse and rushed out of the formation, and a group of cavalry followed him to the west.

In the barren fields, hordes of Northern Army infantry were fleeing to the northeast. They were Chen Wen's routed troops.

"Come here, send orders in all directions, tell the soldiers under Chen Wen's command to find their hundreds of households! If there are no hundreds of households, call the test hundred households and the general banner to stand up and call the subordinates!" Qiu Fu ordered, "Roll the soldiers Gather behind our large formation and stand by!"

"The last general waits for orders!" Several people around him responded, applauding and leaving the cavalry brigade.

Qiu Fu led the crowd to continue westward, and soon in the depths of the gunpowder smoke, he saw a field of army infantry advancing in formation, driving the rout of the Northern Army and fleeing eastward.

If the previous Ping An Army cavalry had not withdrawn and came to chase and defeat the soldiers, the pursuit speed was faster, and the men and horses under Chen Wen's command would be even worse!

At this moment, the infantry phalanx of the officers and soldiers in the west all stopped.Qiu Fu watched for a while, and saw the dust rolled up in the depths of his vision, and two groups of cavalry rushed from the two wings of the official army's phalanx.There was loud shouting in the distance, arrows flying in the air, horses neighing and people screaming.

Soon Qiu Fu saw clearly the red flag of a cavalry flying in the north, and took a closer look, and found that the words "King Gaoyang" were vaguely written on that big flag.He knew right away that Zhu Gaoxu's horsemen should have come.

Sure enough, after a while Qiu Fu saw Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaoxu was rushing towards the left wing of the army with a cavalry.

"General Qiu!" Zhu Gaoxu's voice shouted.

Qiu Fu immediately cupped his fists and said, "King Gao Yang!"

The two patted their horses and rushed out of their respective herds, approaching in the middle.Qiu Fu said gratefully: "Thanks to King Gaoyang for coming to help, otherwise the officers and soldiers might have the upper hand all day long!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked very humble, and said: "You and I are in the same boat, this is my duty! Didn't General Qiu save me?"

Qiu Fu didn't care about these personal friendships, and hurriedly exchanged military information with Zhu Gaoxu. He said, "The ones in the south are the He Fu Department of the official army! The He Fu infantry is in the front, and the cavalry is on our right flank; Defeated Chen Wenjun.

Ping'an also led a team of cavalry to flank the King Yan's camp in the north, breaking the camp in many places.At that time, after King Gaoyang came out of Ping'an, both the northern and southern cavalry of the Ping'an army passed by. "

Zhu Gaoxu nodded after hearing this, and said: "Ping'an's cavalry is small and lost to our cavalry. He circled around, fought with me for a round, and ran away again!

However, there were multiple infantry in the official army's infantry formation, with soldiers' spears and gun shields in front, and the formation was very strong. Our troops could not defeat them after several charges;We can't make any more progress for a while! "

Qiu Fu rubbed his round forehead a few times, and suddenly said: "The infantry battalion of the Ping'an Army is advancing to the south, it must be to get closer to the flank of He Fujun, so that the two officers and troops can join forces and increase their strength!"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Heroes see the same thing!" He paused and said quickly, "After two sticks of incense, please General Qiu launch a counterattack against He Fu from the front! Before the Ping'an Army meets He Fu, our cavalry will Make a detour to the west and follow General Qiu to pinch He Fu!"

Qiu Fu clasped his fists and said, "Very good!"

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "I will order Qian Zongwei Wei Da again, let him ask Yan Wangjun for reinforcements from the north, and counterattack Ping An from the northwest, let's reverse the passive situation in one fell swoop!"

Qiu Fu nodded in response, and then he said: "See you on the battlefield!"

"Farewell!" Zhu Gaoxu also cupped his fists.

Qiu Fu turned around and went back to his formation, and immediately ordered the generals to prepare in short words.

When he returned to the army, he remembered that Zhu Gaoxu had arranged a new strategy in an instant, and Qiu Fu recalled it, and thought: King Gaoyang is not yet 20 years old, and he has such insight, I am afraid that he is better than he was back then. The king of Yan is even worse!

But King Gaoyang was more humble and kind than King Yan, so Qiu Fu unconsciously got closer to King Gaoyang.

... "Boom! Boom!" After the big drum sounded, the vigorous sound of the horn filled the entire sky.Qiu Fu looked ahead, and a dozen infantry phalanxes were slowly advancing in unison!He rode a horse and paced behind the phalanx with all the cavalry.The personal law enforcement team with knives and axes on their shoulders followed the infantry phalanx, always ready to kill soldiers who escaped without authorization.

At this moment, the horseshoe on the right wing roared, and several iron cavalry appeared in sight, and a red flag in the middle was like a red flower growing in the field.

King Gaoyang's cavalry came very punctually!Qiu Fu only made a rough estimate of the time agreed upon for the two incense sticks, and started to do it when it was almost done.And King Gaoyang cooperated just right, I don't know how he did it.

"Boom boom boom..." A muzzle gun rang out in the distance. After the white smoke dispersed, there were occasional commotions in the northern army's phalanx, and the screams could be clearly heard two hundred steps away.But the infantry of the northern army did not stop at all, and the phalanx group was neither fast nor slow, and they lined up neatly and pressed towards the opposite side.

King Gaoyang's cavalry gradually approached, divided into several groups and rushed straight to the flank of the official army.The phalanx of the officers and soldiers held up large shields and spears to defend against the enemy, and the swaying formations showed the panic of the officers and soldiers.

Qiu Fu heard the shouts in front, and it was simply earth-shattering.People yelled especially loudly when they fought hand to hand!

At this moment, Qiu Fu suddenly found a group of cavalry from the army in the northwest, rushing towards the left wing of King Gaoyang's cavalry. Turning to a detour, he guessed that King Gaoyang should have also found Ping An's cavalry reinforcements.

Qiu Fu immediately ordered the cavalry on his side to immediately form a large formation to attack the cavalry that Ping An came to help, in order to cooperate with King Gaoyang's cavalry battle!

The battlefield soon became chaotic, and the cavalry turned around and fought staggeredly, like a whirlpool in a sea of ​​people.The infantry in front waved their swords and guns, mixed with arrows and firecrackers, rolling violently like boiling water.

The dozen or so infantry phalanxes in Qiu Fu's front line were arranged in two lines, and the adjacent ones resembled the word "pin". If the phalanx in the first row could not defeat the enemy, they would retreat at the order of the golden drum, and then the second The phalanx that had recharged their energy went up to the top and continued to fight.

Between countless people and horses going back and forth, the corpses lying in the dry land are getting denser and denser!

Fighting hard until the afternoon, the two sides could not tell the difference, only the casualties continued to increase.However, the Northern Army has reversed its passive situation and continued to launch counterattacks.

The Ping'an Army was forced to deploy troops for reinforcements and defense many times, but it also achieved the purpose of the official army: after several battles with infantry and cavalry, the Ping'an Army was able to connect head to tail with He Fu's troops and support each other.

At night, the two armies changed from a chaotic situation of flanking and flanking each other to a situation of confrontation between the north and the south.It was even more difficult to decide the outcome. Both sides retreated and reorganized their armies, and the atmosphere on the battlefield gradually eased down.Only the cavalry were left running in the field on the side of the battlefield, grazing and charging at each other.

...After dark, the fighting gradually subsided, and the Northern Army had no city to hold, so they stayed at the camp after dark.Later, the scouts reported that most of the officers and soldiers retreated from Nandu on the pontoon bridge.

Ping'an and He Fu joined forces together, so the north and the south became a situation of confrontation across the river.

That night, the fog gradually rose again, and the air was humid and cold, filled with a complex odor.The flames flickered in the mist, like will-o'-the-wisps, and the soldiers were clearing the battlefield, looking for the wounded who didn't die.There are many people groaning and screaming in pain everywhere, and the foggy battlefield is like hell.

Qiu Fu rode on the horse with his sword in hand, watching the scene of the four fields.At this time, I heard a voice saying: "This battle is over, brother can recuperate..."

Qiu Fu looked sideways slightly, and said in his heart: I just don't know enough, this battle can't stop here!

The commander of the Northern Army drove southward, approaching the Huaihe River, and had nothing to rely on.Now that the army is blocked here, if they don't try to attack and break through, are they going to defend... they have penetrated into the enemy's territory, what can they hold?

Chapter 124 Lan 1

Several pontoon bridges on the Suishui River were shrouded in white mist early in the morning.On the north bank, after countless people and horses stepped on the muddy ground, the ground became very hard.Yesterday's thousands of troops are no longer here.
