Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu asked: "How many people are there?"

The sergeant thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that there are 5 to [-] people."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately took out a piece of paper from his bag and unfolded it, and wrote a letter to report the situation of King Yan's army. He called for his own soldiers and hurried to deliver the letter.He watched the messenger get on his horse and leave, so he walked back and forth at the door of the tent for a few steps, deciding not to move in a hurry, and wait for King Yan's deployment.

Looking into the distance, he could see many houses and villages in his line of sight, and thought: I am observing the Ping An He Fu Camp, so there are no officers and soldiers watching me quietly?

Chapter 133 The Sound of Lingbi's Cannon 2

The Qimeishan battle broke out on the 22nd of Dongyue, and Xu Huizu was transferred away immediately; two days later, on the 25th, Ping An He Fujun moved to Lingbi.

As soon as Xu Huizu left, Ping An even lacked cavalry.He was very negative at the beginning, and wanted to persuade He Fu to retreat to the Huaihe River together and move the battle line south again.

Because of He Fu's persuasion, Ping An agreed to stay in Lingbi for the time being.He Fu was mainly worried that if he retreated again and again, the court would be even more dissatisfied; he wanted to hold a stalemate in Lingbi for a period of time, and wait for the legendary "reinforcements from all provinces" to arrive before launching a decisive battle with Master Yan!

...On the morning of Dongyue 27, Pingan heard that the grain road was being harassed, and immediately decided to lead the army south to open the grain road.

He agreed to stay in Lingbi to see the situation. The biggest reason was that he had just learned that a large amount of money and food had been dispatched and he would arrive in Lingbi soon.As long as there is no shortage of food and pay in the army, it doesn't matter if you stick to waiting for the opportunity.

Ping'an came out from Lingbi with tens of thousands of horses, and he was still cursing and cursing in the ranks, and none of the generals dared to come up to make trouble.

Ping An's appearance and behavior are very rough and unrestrained, he does things quickly and quickly, and often gives people the feeling of not thinking, but he is quick to calculate things in his heart... After all, fighting is not a contest. If you have no brains, how can you fight?

While cursing, he calculated: Yan Division was defeated on the 22nd, just a few days later, the main camp of the enemy army is still on the north bank of Suishui River.At this time, King Yan at most sent some cavalry to attack and harass me, and I was not afraid of him at all.

In the afternoon, scouts came to report that the Yan division cavalry came from the west!

Looking back around, Ping An saw that the army was approaching a flat dry land, and immediately cursed again, and ordered: "Form on the spot, each battalion prepares for battle!"

Not long after, the drums and trumpets in the army sounded together, tens of thousands of infantry, mainly infantry, arranged in a square formation, and the square formation formed a long and curved shape along the road.

The sound of horseshoes in the distance became more and more obvious, and the figure on the horizon was undulating on the horse's back, just like the water surface in the wind and waves.Seeing this, Ping An was very surprised, never before had so many cavalrymen from the Yan Division come so quickly!

So Ping'an personally led the cavalry to gather in the rear, ready to wait for the Yan division to attack first, and then lead a small number of cavalry to seize the opportunity to strike later!He also took a long halberd in his hand, so that he could reach farther, and wanted to find an opportunity to directly kill King Yan himself.

The cavalry came very fast, and the shouts from the west were loud, and a large number of cavalry came over the dry fields, crops, wasteland and small mounds.The straw piled up in the distance and the houses in the village ignited the fire, and the smoke billowed in the field, which made the cavalry of the Yan division even more imposing.

The officers and soldiers were also shouting loudly, the shouts and curses of the generals could be heard everywhere, and the spears of the infantry in front of the officers and soldiers had been leveled.The two rows in front are full of armored spear and shield soldiers, which not only guard against cavalry bow shooting, but also resist the impact of iron cavalry.

After a while, the enemy's vanguard rushed forward, bows and arrows flew in the air, and the firecrackers blared "bang bang bang..." The entire west side of the road was full of dust and gunpowder smoke, and there was a hustle and bustle.

Ping An sat on the horse and didn't move. He just stared at the square "Feng Tian Jing Nan" banner that he had seen many times, seeing it disappearing and appearing in the smoke.King Yan himself should have come in person, and King Yan was seldom absent in every battle.

Ping An scolded in public: "I will kill Yan Ni, and I will not want the food and salary!"

King Yan didn't have any new tricks, so he quickly detoured to the south, running farther and farther, and the banner disappeared... At this time, the officers and soldiers were forced to form a long square formation on the main road, not deep enough, but extremely wide horizontally; Yan Wang's old trick is to attack in a roundabout way, but this time he has to run a long way.

A dense array of guns and shields was deployed in front of the officers and soldiers, and it was difficult for the cavalry to break through, and King Yan was also very persistent in going around his back.After a long time, a wave of enemy cavalry actually came around to the east of the main road!

Seeing this, Pingan ordered: "Come here, tell the left wing Chen Hui to look for an opportunity to attack Yan Ni from the south. The cavalry set out and follow me!"

He lifted the halberd lightly, patted his horse and led the cavalry to charge south.Master Yan's cavalry fled eastward for a while, and then rushed towards Ping An.

"Papa..." A string sounded in front of him, and Ping'an could clearly see the running horses and the Yan army cavalry who were lying on their bodies and drawing their bows.He didn't hold the heavy iron shield and iron ax today, so he played a trick, turning the long halberd lightly in front of him like a top, blocking the few arrows that shot in front of him, "Ding Ding Dang Dang "The ground hit and flew out.

In an instant, the two armies met, there was loud shouting and killing, and there was a sound of metal knocking. Ping An rode his horse and charged left and right. Wherever the halberd went, many enemy soldiers fell from their horses.The cavalry ran quickly and formed a sparse formation, and Ping An was unstoppable in a cavalry battle.

While people were screaming, many Yan division cavalry retreated one after another, hiding away and walking safely, only using their bows to shoot from a distance.

But the horsemen under Ping'an's command were obviously not as brave as him. After charging for a while, he found that there were many empty horses around, running with the cavalry team.

Ping'an's armor had been hit by several arrows, and the armor was pierced, so he had to lead his army to escape to the north.

At this moment, there was chaos in the center of the formation.Ping'an stretched his neck to look around, and finally saw King Yan himself in the cavalry, brandishing his sword and leading the army to break through two phalanxes in a row.

The Yan division horsemen on the west side of the road saw this, and the cavalry rushed forward.Seeing that the middle of the formation was about to be pierced, Ping An had no choice but to do so. At this moment, an enemy general led cavalry roaring towards the north.

Ping An hastily turned the horse's head, waved and continued to run north, leading the horse team around behind the formation.The infantry bows at the rear of the infantry line shot flat and flanked the Yan division's pursuers. This enemy cavalry ran northward for a while, and many arrows fell off their horses.So Ping An turned around, and turned back to kill with a long halberd!

Several phalanx infantry in the center of the formation have been defeated, and the Yan division cavalry on the east and west sides are chopping back and forth.The Ping'an army has been divided into two sections, the north and the south.

At this moment, there was a burst of footsteps from the south, and Ping An saw several infantry columns running forward, counterattacking the enemy cavalry in the middle!

So Ping'an ordered the three thousand regiments on the north wing to attack and respond, and then he led the cavalry to charge and attack the enemy soldiers in the center of the formation.

Horse archery bows and arrows flew in one after another, the shields of the infantry column clanked, and the shoulder armor clanged, and the troops braved the arrows to attack.Ping'an took the lead and rushed out from the rear of the infantry, killing several people in a row, while the cavalry jumped on their horses and charged bravely.

Master Yan finally retreated, and Ping An ordered the infantry to stop the pursuit and fill in the gaps on the spot... Anyway, they couldn't catch up!

The morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and all the troops shouted in unison, with a magnificent momentum and a majestic military appearance.

But the shouting stopped for a while, and the screams and horse neighs from all around were still heard. Corpses and surviving wounded soldiers were strewn all over the ground, mixed with weapons and flags, creating a mess.Not far away, a horse neighed and wanted to stand up, but it still fell into a pool of blood.

Ping An patted his horse and walked through the square formation, looking at the large group of people fleeing far to the west, Master Yan was still watching from a distance.

Not long after, a cavalry from the north sent a military report, and it was safe to read: the general has already poured out his camp, and led the main force to go south to reinforce General Ping.He Fu hand Su.

Ping'an is overjoyed, and with He Fu's support, they will be able to get close to the location of the food and baggage tonight.

Unexpectedly, after a period of time, another army sent a military report... He Fu's army was defeated by King Gaoyang's ambush and rushed back to the Lingbi camp!

Ping An's entire face turned red!He didn't know that the Yan division's forward was Zhu Gaoxu. No wonder Yan Wang led a large number of cavalry to rush south. Zhu Gaoxu must have figured out and guessed the intention of the army...

Zhu Gaoxu is very cunning!His mother|When he was in the capital, why didn't the emperor just kill him?

Some people in the capital rumored that King Gaoyang was extremely powerful and brave. Ping An had contacted him many times, but they were not impressed with Zhu Gaoxu's bravery, but thought that he was a slippery man.

Ping'an was full of complaints, and thought to himself: If so, Gao Xu has at most 1 people, his mother|He Fu, how did the tens of thousands of troops be defeated?

The sun was already setting in the western sky, facing the dazzling sunset, the people who saw King Yan in peace gradually retreated.

At this time several generals came over one after another and asked: "General Ping, Master Yan has retreated, shall we continue going south?"

"Go south!" Ping An yelled, "He Fu has no food in Lingbi. If I divide my troops and leave, he will die without knowing how to die! Order all the troops to return to Lingbi camp overnight!"

"The last commander will obey!"

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

... At this time, Qiu Fu led a group of cavalry and approached Zhu Gaoxu's camp first.

"Congratulations, Hexi, King Gaoyang beat the crowd with few, and defeated He Fu, he really won the three armies bravely!" Qiu Fu laughed when he met him.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "It's just good luck. I said a long time ago that where the army is going to pass, at least the nearby forests and villages should be inspected, but He Fu was negligent. When my cavalry rushed out suddenly, he rushed out. It’s too late to clothe, it’s no wonder it doesn’t collapse!”

Qiu Fu said calmly, "That's because King Gaoyang left early. If he went again temporarily, Qiu Fu's scouts must have spotted him."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "As soon as Ping'an set off, I sent a letter to my father, and my father said that he was going to intercept Ping'an soon! I speculated that He Fu might be going to save him, so I chose a place to set up an ambush...
