Li Sanlang, the head coach of the Leopard Fangju, was urgently asked by Wang Yuan to be transferred back, and his temporary position was that of the flag commander!

God is pitiful, the six thousand soldiers are all bitter haha, the flag order needs to be taught by hand, and there is no hereditary military attache.

Although Li Ying has never been on the battlefield, his father is the chief soldier of Guizhou, he has been familiar with and enthusiastic about military affairs since he was a child, and he has long memorized all kinds of flag orders. Moreover, Li Ying is Wang Yuan's classmate and friend, so it is most suitable for him to be the flag commander.

The overseer is still Zhu Ying, an old man, Zhu Houzhao is very caring this time, and he didn't mix sand indiscriminately.

After Wu Liande was promoted, he was originally living a very prosperous life, and he was also asked by Wang Yuan to come over. He still led the sentry cavalry, and the scale was expanded to eighty people - this really can't be helped, the Beijing camp has special sentry cavalry, but all of them are pulled out to fight, and only the Jinyi guard can be called.

I think that when Zhu Di went north to Mongolia, there were thousands of sentinels, and they were assembled as light cavalry troops.

Zhu Ying, the eunuch, had already tasted the sweetness, and said with a smile while marching on horseback: "Master Wang, what you say this time is what you say, and I, the overseer, am the grain supervisor to ensure that the soldiers do not worry about eating and drinking." ”

"Then I wrote Brother Zhu!" Wang Yuan hugged his fists.

"Well said, well said." Zhu Ying laughed, he was still counting on following Wang Yuan to make meritorious contributions.

The thieves were too close, and Wang Yuan marched for most of the day, and the sentry came back to report: "The thieves were found in the south of Liangxiang County, and they were plundering the towns and villages, but they did not attack the county seat. ”

"Probe!"

Wang Yuan shouted: "Speed up the march and rush to the outside of Liangxiang City before dark!" ”

These thieves really used Gyeonggi as a public toilet, and before Wang Yuan arrived in Liangxiang County, he ran into dozens of thieves riding and robbing the countryside halfway.

It can be said that these thieves are sentry agents, and by the way, they open the way to inquire about the news of the official army, or it can be said that they are horse bandits, and they rush over to rob them when they see the villages and towns anyway. They do not coerce the young and strong, but run away after robbing their possessions, and it is too fast to catch up.

Wang Yuan asked Zhu Zhi to take more than 100 elite horsemen, wearing only light armor to go over to strangle. As a result, there was a chase, and only four heads were cut off, and the rest of the thieves slipped away.

Hurrying and hurrying, the whole army came to the outside of Liangxiang City.

Zhixian is an old acquaintance Gaudi, whom Wang Yuan saw when he chased the enemy on a single horse.

Gaudi was trembling by the thieves, and when he heard that Wang Erlang had arrived, he seemed to be happy to descend from the sky, and personally escorted two carts of grain and grass out of the city to work in the army.

"With Master Wang here, Liangxiang County is safe!" Gaudí looked happy.

Wang Yuan asked, "Can you see the main force of thieves?" ”

Gaudí shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there are small groups of thieves everywhere, and they have ruined countless towns and villages." ”

……

Dozens of miles away.

Qi Yanming received the news in the middle of the night and hurriedly asked, "How many officers and soldiers have been killed?" ”

The leader of the thief who was killed by more than 100 elite horsemen said: "With the grain carriers, I am afraid that there are more than 10,000 people." ”

Qi Yanming asked again: "Do you know who is in charge of the army?" ”

The leader of the thieves said, "I don't know, the officers and soldiers did not raise the banner. ”

Qi Yanming nodded and said, "You go and rest." ”

Wang Yuan really didn't dare to raise the banner, for fear of scaring the thief away. When Zhu Zhi led the cavalry in pursuit, he was also wearing light armor and was not recognized by the thieves.

Li Long suggested: "The officers and soldiers are here in the capital, and the officers and soldiers behind our butts are afraid that they have already passed Bazhou." Both ends are blocked, I think it's better to go south early, and it's too late if you don't leave. ”

Li Rui sneered: "The live mouth we caught before said that the elite of the Beijing camp had already been transferred out, and the rest was all wine bags and rice bags. I don't think it's better to attack Beijing directly, in case it can be defeated, how happy it is to catch the emperor, how many officers and soldiers behind him will not dare to move. ”

"Let's run to the south, I'm afraid there will be officials and soldiers to intercept us," Liu San discussed, "either go to fight Beijing, or learn from Yang Hu half a year ago, and run from the west to Shanxi." Shanxi's border troops have been transferred to chase us, Shanxi must be empty of troops, and when they get there, how can they fight with us? ”

Li Rui said ruthlessly: "Just attack Beijing, this is a strategy that has been set a long time ago. Think about it, the capital is now full of soldiers, maybe it will really be defeated, and the goods in the city will not be spent in a few lifetimes! ”

Li Long retorted: "Now it is not a question of attacking Beijing, there are still thousands of officers and soldiers blocking the road." Even if we want to fight Beijing, we must first deal with those officers and soldiers. ”

Li Rui said with a smile: "The elite soldiers of the imperial court are all behind our butts, and there is really nothing to be afraid of in front." All the way from Shandong, you have not seen what the officers and soldiers of Cangzhou, Bazhou, and Zhuozhou are like. It's all a wreck, and I don't even dare to go out of the city. We can't retreat, as soon as we retreat, we will encounter elite soldiers, and if we go forward, we will all be soldiers! ”

This makes sense, and it's true.

Qi Yanming was immediately convinced, and immediately said: "Then fight, first kill the thousands of officers and soldiers in front, and then take down the county town of Liangxiang to supply grain and grass and soldiers." As for Beijing, none of you have ever been there, the walls are frighteningly high, and they are not easy to capture. After robbing Liangxiang County, we immediately went west to Shanxi, grabbed it all the way, and let the officials and soldiers chase after us and eat dust! ”

These rebels have been spoiled by the officials and soldiers along the way, and they don't take Wang Yuan's thousands of soldiers in their eyes at all.

The next day, the sentry led by Wu Liande began to confront the anti-thief sentry horse, located between Zhuozhou and Liangxiang County.

Wu Liande only had a few dozen horsemen under his command, and he immediately fled as soon as he made contact, and he was stupid to fight with hundreds of horsemen.

In the afternoon of the same day, the armies of the two sides met.

Wang Yuan has more than 100 elite horsemen, dozens of sentinel horses, 6,000 foot soldiers, and nearly 10,000 people.

Qi Yanming has nearly 1,000 light horses, 3,000 old thieves, and more than 10,000 young and strong people.

Just looking at the number of people, it seems to be about the same.

Wang Yuan immediately formed a formation, and the elite cavalry hid in the Chinese army, wearing armor and ready to charge at any time.

There were no crossbowmen on either side, the anti-thieves had no time to train, and Wang Yuan had no time to train.

Let's put it this way, Wang Yuan's 6,000 soldiers have only seriously practiced queues and flag orders, and the rest are physical training such as running. Even the weapons, before going out, I casually practiced for two days to charge and kill.

There is only one way to come and go: poke!

Qi Yanming stood in front of the battle on horseback, personally observing the situation of the officers and soldiers, and then said to the other thieves with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a rabble. The real elite of the official army, the front row must be sword and shield hands, and the officers and soldiers in front of them don't even have sword and shield hands, and they only know how to use spears like the local guard army. ”

The thieves laughed, they had been fighting the officers for a year, and they naturally knew that this was the case.

Li Rui said: "Let's rush forward with the whole army, and then use cavalry to rush on the flank, so as to ensure that these officers and soldiers will be killed." ”

Qi Yanming asked Li Rui to lead all the cavalry, not a single sentry cavalry, and all of them went around the right flank of the official army. Immediately, he himself took the foot soldiers and pressed towards the official army without hurrying.

These anti-thieves have already played experience, and even learned the formation of the official army, and even the flag is the flag order of the five armies of the official army. In addition to crossbowmen and musketeers, other types of troops are readily available, and the three thousand old thieves are also equipped with javelins.

In terms of the configuration of troops, Wang Yuan is more like a thief, and Qi Yanming is more like an official army.

Seeing that the two sides were getting closer and closer, Wang Yuan suddenly rode out of the battle alone, took out the iron horn and shouted: "Wang Yuan, the champion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, is here, dare to come out and fight me alone!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the anti-thief formation suddenly became chaotic.

Even Qi Yanming stopped moving forward, the rest of the thieves looked shocked, and those old thieves almost wanted to escape.

Among the three thousand old thieves, one-quarter had fought with Wang Yuan on the battlefield, and the remaining three-quarters had also heard of Wang Zhuangyuan's name. Although the thieves are forbidden to talk about Wang Erlang, they have already communicated countless times in private, and that is the killing god who beheaded Liu Liu and Liu Qi!

But at this moment, the two armies are facing each other, and they must not be frightened, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a rout.

Qi Yanming immediately boosted morale: "Brothers, the officers and soldiers in front of you are all weak soldiers, what is he Wang Yuan doing alone?" We only need to fight in one go, and we can defeat the official army and avenge Liu Liu's sixth brother and Liu Qige's death. Kill the whole army with me! ”

The leaders of the thieves looked at each other, and had already made up their minds that if the battle situation was unfavorable, they would immediately flee on horseback.

They often do this kind of thing, as long as they keep the cavalry from losing, they can always make a comeback, so the officers and troops have not been able to completely exterminate them.

Even Qi Yanming also thought of an escape route, he only cared about his cavalry, and he didn't even want thousands of old thieves.
