Bright Spring

Qu Neng faltered, made some trivial movements with his palm on his face, and said, "Let's speak in peace."

……

The upper reaches of Baigou River are called Juma River.After the Juma River flows eastward and turns southward, the river is called Baigou River.

King Yan's army of nearly 20 people advanced from the northwest of Xiong County.When he arrived at the Juma River, the King of Yan said to the civil and military officers around him: "The number of officers and soldiers is 60. The more people and horses there are, the more food and fodder will be consumed. We must first occupy the Baigou River and transport the baggage by boat."

Then he ordered the army to cross all the way to the south from the pontoon bridge to the west bank of Baigou River.

The next day, the king of Yan ordered the vanguard to cross the Baigou River and advance from the east bank.The army marched southward along the Baigou River.

Not long after, the east bank scouting horse reported that tens of thousands of cavalry were located on the east side, ten miles away from the river, looking for an opportunity to flank the Yan division.

So the king of Yan ordered to build many pontoon bridges on the river, and led the cavalry to cross the river first.At this point in the afternoon, there was a burst of cannon fire ahead, and soon the forward scouts of the Yan army galloped back on horseback.

The scout general reported: "The forward of the official army is safe, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed to the south, and the infantry battalion is also marching to the south!"

As soon as King Yan heard that the enemy's infantry battalion had started to move, he immediately sensed the opportunity for war.Immediately, the cavalry was deployed, and the cavalry was assigned to attack the infantry battalion that was being mobilized and the phalanx was in turmoil.

As expected, in less than an hour, the infantry battalion of the Ping'an army was reported to have collapsed, and the cavalry in the east also stopped attacking and flocked south to support the retreating infantry battalion.

Master Yan took advantage of the victory to cover up the attack, and met the main force of the government army at night, breaking through the endless formation in multiple ways.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of dense "boom boom boom..." loud noises ahead!Most of the "Tui Ma Dan" artillery that was buried in the ground roared together, and countless small iron bullets and stones hit the faces of the Yan Army cavalry like raindrops...

The Yan army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.The other roads also encountered a sudden attack from Chuai Madan, and the "swarm" rockets were already ready, waiting for them to come.The generals and soldiers of the Yan army were approached by countless rockets, and the casualties of the arrows were not counted.

After the sun went down, the sky gradually darkened, and the battlefield became more chaotic.The king of Yan ordered all the cavalry to retreat, and he himself turned around and ran north.Unexpectedly, on the road, he was attacked by a few horsemen from the side, and the horses ran away in fright.King Yan rode for a while, and there were only three riders around him.

When he looked back, he saw fires flickering everywhere in the night, and he just felt that those fires were shining in his stomach, suffocating his stomach!

... Li Jinglong was overjoyed when he heard Ping An's "ingenious plan" and fought the first battle with vigor and vibrancy.That night, he followed Ping'an's suggestion, and in the early hours of the morning, Qu Neng and Ping'an led the cavalry to detour and go back to the north. He agreed that as soon as the front was fired, he would suddenly attack the Yan army's belly and back, and attack the Yan army!

……

Zhu Gaoxu was still in Gu'an City. Yesterday's gunfire could be faintly heard from the end of the plain. He guessed that it had already started.

He kept pacing anxiously on the tower, looking southwest.But under the white sky, there is nothing but a horizon.

There were not many soldiers on the walls of Gu'an City, and all the cavalry under Zhu Gaoxu's command were on the street at the gate of the city.All the armies lined up in armor and sharpened, not looking to defend the city, but to rush out to fight in the field at any time.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to smooth the picture in front of him, and then glanced outside the city.The direction of the gunfire was Baigou River.

He has an intuition that the battle has reached a critical moment... The ancient wars are like this, the efficiency of preparation and deployment is very slow, it takes a long time, and sometimes the confrontation can be counted by years!However, once the battle is over, the outcome is very fast, and usually only lasts for a few days.

Wasn't it the same in Peking City last year?When King Yan returned with his main force, it took only one day to decide the winner at Zhengcunba.

Destiny is often decided in one day.

At this moment, two riders came from the sky.When they approached, Zhu Gaoxu saw clearly from the tower that it was Chen Dachui and the other two.

The city gate was open, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to defend the city at all. "Da da da..." The sound of horseshoes sounded from below, and Chen Dachui and others had rushed into Gu'an City.

Not long after, Chen Dachui came running up dragging his heavy armor. He knelt in front of him on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "The last general is ordered to return."

"What did the Chinese army say?" Zhu Gaoxu cut straight to the point and got straight to the point, reaching out and lifting Chen Dachui.

Chen Dachui took a deep breath and said: "Yesterday, the general of the officers and soldiers was safe and ambushed near the Baigou River. He was defeated by King Yan's army and beheaded for nothing..."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt a "thump" in his heart: Can Ping An be defeated at the touch of a button?

It's not that Zhu Gaoxu has never fought against Ping An.Not to mention that Ping An himself didn't have 50 or [-] people fighting hand-to-hand, so don't even try to fuck him; even the elite cavalry under Ping An are not inferior to the elite soldiers of the Yan army.

This military report is really a little watery, so we can only guess based on the general situation... Chen Dachui was sent by King Gao Yang to ask about the military situation, but Chen Dachui was not King Gao Yang after all.For the sake of morale, military newspapers on the battlefield will generally deliberately exaggerate their own advantages.

Chen Dachui continued: "The king of Yan led the army to cover up the attack and rushed straight to the official army formation. Although our army broke through many places in the enemy's formation, it was getting late, and the officer army counterattacked in a swarm of swarms with horse pills. , King Yan retreats for the time being."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned... He has personally tasted the swarm, and it is only useful when he is ready to approach; he has also heard that it is necessary to pre-buy and shoot shotguns, and there is no mobile rate of fire. It's slow, and the range is even closer!

If the Yan army can be attacked by these two weapons, isn't it ready and waiting for the Yan army to charge?

Zhu Gaoxu had a strong feeling: King Yan was caught in Ping An's trick to lure the enemy, and he didn't please him at all yesterday!

Chen Dachui said again: "Now Ping'an and others have circled to the north of King Yan's army and are fighting."

After Zhu Gaoxu listened, he looked up at the vast plain in front of him, the sky was gray. "Rumbling..." The sound of the guns was faintly heard, like thunder in the clouds.

Nothing can be seen on the plain, and it looks very lonely.Even the common people have already left. The large fields that should have been planted with wheat are now covered with green weeds.

Could it be that Li Jinglong suddenly found an expert?

This year's expedition, although Zhu Gaoxu was the first to come out, he was not a forward. He stayed in Gu'an City for half a month... I was a little lucky at first, but I was just waiting to win anyway.

Now it seems that it is not as easy as imagined.

King Gaoyang in history was feared by so many people, so he must have played a big role and displayed extraordinary talents in the Jingnan Battle.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly had an ominous premonition: Could it be because he didn't do a good job that he would cause Yan Wang and countless other people to die together?If something like that really happened, he would be really unlucky!

"Command!" Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and beckoned, "Wang Bin, Ji'er and all other cavalry, leave the city!"

"Order!"

Zhu Gaoxu lifted the red cloak behind his back, pressed the handle of the knife and strode down the tower.He took the reins from the soldiers, turned over and jumped on the horse, took the horse |sword and inserted it into the scabbard on his back, took the cherry gun and held it in his hand.

He looked back at the iron cavalry mounted one after another and the cloud-like banners, raised his cherry gun and shouted: "Follow me, let's go!"

All the troops shouted in unison, which immediately filled the lonely and empty Gu'an City with momentum.

"Shoot!" Zhu Gaoxu kicked the horse first, and countless horseshoes began to move one after another.The iron hoof stepped on the brick floor of the street, and there was a loud "rumbling" sound, as if it was about to shake the city tower down.

Countless cavalry ran out of the city gate one after another, surging towards the west like a torrent of steel.

Chapter 70 Shoot to Kill

The land is green, and there is no smoke in the brown-gray villages.Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the village immediately, and only a circle appeared in his mind, which was the mark he drew on the map.

After staying in Gu'an for more than half a month, he knows everything around him clearly.

Thousands of iron cavalry surged on the road at a leisurely pace. The flags were of different sizes and each side was different. The difference between the flags of the general flag team and the small flag team was clear at a glance.

In the sound of the wind, the sound of horseshoes "rumbling..." intertwined and echoed with the clanging, clinking, clanging and rubbing of armor, and horse neighing came from time to time.Farther away, the roar of cannon seemed to be getting closer.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced back, and many vivid faces flashed past his eyes.In different emotions, there is faint tension... Even if you are a veteran of the battlefield, you will not feel relaxed when you go to the battlefield.

The artillery and firecrackers are also ringing all the time.A large group of people walked for a while, and at this time Zhu Gaoxu could already hear the noise of people in the distance.He looked as far as the eye could see, there was smoke and gunpowder smoke on the horizon, and people and horses were faintly surging.

Just approaching at this time, it is impossible to see clearly what is going on on the battlefield.
