Liu Pei was in a hurry to attack Pingdu alone, on the one hand, it was indeed to relieve a little pressure on the war in Laizhou. The most important reason is that he in order not to expose his artillery!

Liu Pei came to Texas this time to bring ten old-fashioned artillery pieces to pretend, and worked hard every day to wipe the artillery, so as not to make others suspicious. And Liu Pei's real artillery team is hiding in the mountain, waiting to join Liu Pei at any time.

This time, Liu Peike prepared 30 artillery pieces for the rebels! That's enough for them to drink a pot! You must know that at this time, it is a big crime to cast artillery privately! Even if it is not a crime, Liu Pei always has to explain the source of funds and technology for the casting of artillery, which is also a big problem. This will make the imperial court set its sights on Liu Pei.

Liu Pei bid farewell to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, and led the army to rush to Qishan. The ten guns were mounted on rubber-tyred carts, and they could still keep up with the speed of the march.

On the way, Liu Pei received another piece of information from the Intelligence Bureau. This time, the information was extremely detailed, and it was people from the Intelligence Bureau who infiltrated the rebels and got the information.

The leader of the rebels is Kong Youde! At that time, when he was captured and sent troops to besiege Pingdu, there were only a few thousand people. After he besieged Pingdu, many people came to vote. But they are all ill-intentioned. Coupled with the guards and people he threatened, Kong Youde's team had swelled to more than 10,000 people at this time.

Liu Pei sneered and tore the note in his hand to shreds. Liu Pei understands that this kind of temporarily inflated team is the best to deal with, and it is not vulnerable at all! As soon as the cannon sounds, a large number of temporary joiners will flee within two rounds!

It's just that Liu Pei is worried that when he arrived in Pingdu, he had already lost there. After all, Kong Youde's actual strength at this time was much higher than in history. Although Pingdu has not missed in history, it is not necessarily now.

After Liu Pei diverted to Qishan to join the artillery, he slowed down and advanced to Pingdu at the standard marching speed of 50 miles a day. The cavalry were also let out by Liu Pei to explore the road and strangle the other party's rangers.

When Liu Pei approached Pingdu, the cavalry in front came back with news, saying that they had fought with the opponent's rangers. The cavalry also returned two heads and two horses.

Insert a sentence, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache and read aloud offline!

After Liu Pei carefully examined the war horse, he gave up the idea of dragging the battle down,

Because the two war horses were fat and strong, and their spirits were strong. From this point of view, it is clear that these rebels are not short of food.

Liu Pei continued to lead the team rolling forward. The cavalry opened the way ahead, and Liu Pei believed that the rebels knew that an army of officers was approaching, after all, they had already lost three groups of rangers. As a veteran, Kong Youde will never miss this situation.

Yang Kaihua took the two brothers and explored cautiously along the official road.

If you still have memories, will you still remember the soldier who was molested by a war horse under Liu Pei's nose and fainted when Liu Pei first established the cavalry? He is Yang Kaihua.

At that time, Yang Kaihua wanted to become a cavalryman, but unfortunately, at that time, he couldn't even fight his own horse, and he didn't want to be teased by horses!

But now it's different, after so many years of hard training, Yang Kaihua is already a seasoned cavalryman. And being able to be selected by Yang Jingfa for the team that does not collect at night is enough to show that he is excellent!

The weather in July is already a very hot season in Shandong. The sun is shining on the earth, and even the air on the surface is distorting! So the three of them couldn't see much at all.

The cavalryman with the big cake face on Yang Kaihua's left side wiped the sweat on his face viciously and said, "This ghost weather!" I'm almost ripe for Lao Tzu! Old ghost, do you still have water there? I've just finished drinking all my water for my black charcoal. ”

Another horseman, known as the old ghost, took a water bottle from his saddle and threw it over, saying, "Hold on a little longer, little eye! In a few more miles, today's sentry mission will be completed! ”

Little Eyes took the kettle, drank half the pot in one go, and then closed the lid and threw it back to the old ghost. He was just about to say something, when he heard Yang Kaihua shout in a low voice: "Silence! ”

The two men immediately fell silent, and at the same time looked into the ears of their horses. Yang Kaihua found out about this and stopped them from talking. Because the ears of war horses are much more sensitive than human ears.

Now all three horses have their ears pricked up and facing forward. The three people who were already familiar with the nature of horses knew that there must be cavalry ahead. Because only the sound of the horse's hooves could be heard from afar. If the infantry makes it

If the movement can be heard by the war horse, it is either very close, or there is a large group of infantry approaching.

The three men reined in their horses and stared into the distance. I saw five figures slowly appear in the distorted air in the distance.

The old ghost laughed twice and said, "It seems that the rebel cubs are scared!" In the past, they rode alone or in pairs, but today they actually sent five horses! ”

Little Eyes said excitedly: "Yang Tou, what should I do?" To fight or not to fight? ”

Yang Kaihua sneered and said, "There are only five people, why don't you fight?" Lay ahead and give them a short blow, then draw their knives and cut them twice, and then we cut off the head and return to the camp. It's that simple! ”

Listening to Yang Kaihua's words, the little eyes and the old ghost both laughed. They pulled out the short guns in the saddle bags to check whether the lead bullets were in the chamber of the gun, and at the same time removed the faucet. Then he drew his saber and checked it. Finally, the plate armor is finished.

After several actual battles, the cavalry discovered the benefits of plate armor. As long as you don't get stabbed in the head, there is basically no major problem. Moreover, it has a certain protective effect on the blow of a blunt instrument.

Because the plate armor transforms all its power at the moment of being hit, all the bodies can bear it at the same time, so that the probability of injury is greatly reduced.

At this time, the rangers in front also spotted the three of them, but they obviously hesitated for a while before slowly stepping forward, making it clear that they were going to fight. And Yang Kaihua and the three of them have already been prepared, and they are waiting for them all day long.

Yang Kaihua saw the other party approaching, and also began to ride his horse forward. The war horse that Yang Kaihua sat down on seemed to feel the atmosphere before the war, and began to snort excitedly!

The two sides got closer and closer, and almost at the same time began to beat their horses and accelerate towards each other! The leader of the rebels was obviously very confident in himself, and he rushed directly at Yang Kaihua. And the other four people are in groups of twos and twos, ready to deal with the little eyes and the old ghost.

Seeing this, Yang Kaihua put the knife in his mouth, and also pulled out a short gun in his right hand. Rely only on your legs to control the horse and gallop forward. The other party's ranger leader was obviously angered by Yang Kaihua in this position! He thinks that Yang Kaihua's oral sword is a contempt for him! So he sped up his horse speed and rushed towards Yang Kaihua.
