Li Yan has always been known for his strategy, and he has been well versed in it from thieves for several years, and he has a clear understanding of the strength, tactics and character characteristics of each thief leader.

Liu Fangliang is a general under the command of the thief, and he can stand out from the many thieves who are like cow hair and be named the Cihou, how can he be a general, Li Yan knows that he can not be underestimated, the day before yesterday, when he fought for the first time in Jumahe, he thought that Liu Fangliang must be a little blind and arrogant all the way to the fatigue recently, so he decided to set up a trap for him, only invested a small number of cavalry, mainly infantry, and paralyzed Liu Fangliang to make him think that he was so much of a belonging.

In fact, Li Yan has gained the most from picking up leaks outside the customs, and almost every person under his command has a full cavalry, and his net worth has already been exchanged for cannons, and his strength has increased dramatically.

Li Yan fought with a small number of cavalry in the three battles, and the last two battles were also a little the surface, it was Jia Waixiong's heavy cavalry that turned the tide, but in fact, Li Yan has been hiding his edge and showing timidity just to make Liu Fangliang careless.

Now, it's time to show your might!

It is said that Liu Fangliang, Gu Ying, and Gao Yigong each led 10,000 horses and horses to wrap the displaced people, divided into three routes, and sent troops north side by side, and traveled 20 miles away from Baoding City to report that the officers and soldiers were deployed several miles away.

Li Yan was not afraid of death and took the initiative to attack, yesterday he retreated dozens of miles to occupy Xushui, and today he went deeper again, it seems that he knows that the righteous army is going to fight Baoding City and come to help with death, hehe, it's just that Lao Tzu makes you can't even see the city wall, Liu Fangliang sneered, and immediately ordered an all-out attack, first using cannon fodder to consume the opponent's combat power, and then the main force to cover up.

This tactic is old-fashioned but very practical, thousands of homeless people crying dad and shouting mothers were whipped by the thief army and rushed towards the camp of officers and soldiers, behind them is Liu Fangliang's main cavalry, once the homeless people rush into the camp of officers and soldiers to its chaos, his cavalry can take the opportunity to break through the large array of officers and soldiers like a sharp sword, and then the main force in the rear covers and kills, and the overall situation is set!

The smile slowly disappeared at the corner of his mouth, and then his eyebrows gradually provoked, Liu Fangliang suddenly felt that something was wrong, according to the past practice, as soon as the cannon fodder moved, the officers and soldiers would usually immediately send cavalry to disperse these homeless people in order to avoid being too passive, but now the cannon fodder is about to rush to the opponent's camp, but the officers and soldiers are not moving, which is too calm.

Li Yan naturally calmed down, because he prepared a gift package for Liu Fangliang, the kind that could hear the sound, the two sides were three miles apart, seeing that the thief army was an old routine, he drove the displaced people with cavalry and rushed over, Li Yan stared closely, and thought silently in his heart, two miles, one mile, three hundred meters...... Two hundred meters, hands-on!

At the sound of the order, the drums beat loudly, and then the cavalry, which had been on standby in front of the formation, rushed over, but it was ...... Instead of facing it head-on, it quickly separated towards the east and west wings, giving way to a frontal gap.

What is the intention of the officers and soldiers, not daring to face the battle head-on, thinking of a surprise attack from both flanks? Liu Fangliang was confused, the middle door was wide open, isn't this looking for death, what kind of trick is Li Yan doing.

The answer was soon forthcoming, and it was a deafening kind, the cavalry in front of the formation spread out to the two wings to leave an empty door, and the artillery of the Shenji battalion concentrated fire on the oncoming thief cavalry with nearly 100 field guns and poured down cannonballs like a torrential rain.

Jia Waixiong once said that Li Yan was good at scheming and not good at fighting, saying that his good steel was not used on the blade, and now he yelled, will it be used, Liu Fangliang said!

In ancient times, when the two armies were hedged against each other, it was the moment when the casualties were the greatest, a hundred paces away, the two sides opened their bows and released arrows all over the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was the collision and trampling of war horses and the oncoming spears and swords......

However, in the Ming Dynasty, the armor and equipment of soldiers, especially cavalry, were generally comprehensive, and the casualties caused by bows and arrows were not the main cause, far less than the trampling of war horses and the heavy blows of heavy weapons.

And the lethality of artillery shells is much greater than these. What's more, the crowd is so dense, as long as it is stained with light powdered bones, heavy brains splashed everywhere.

The field artillery, also known as the Tiger Cannon, is cast by the martial god Qi Jiguang, which is light and easy to be used in the mountains and fields.

Liu Fangliang originally wanted to disperse the camp of officers and soldiers with the exiles, but he didn't expect Li Yan's plan to bombard the head, so that his cavalry suffered heavy casualties, not to mention, those frightened exiles scurried like headless flies, but they rushed his front into chaos, and he suddenly found that this was just the beginning, Li Yan still had a backhand

The frontal bombardment of the Shenji battalion caused confusion in the forward line of the thief army, and the vanguard of the officers and soldiers quickly rode around the two flanks and took advantage of the chaos in front of the formation to shoot their bows, and then entered the formation.

Gu Ying and Gao Yigong are both battle-hardened generals, seeing the officers and soldiers coming from both wings, calmly dispatching troops to meet the battle, looking at Liu Fangliang's front army from afar, but there is some schadenfreude in his heart, this guy has been in the limelight recently, and it should make him sober up.

However, this schadenfreude did not last long, and they felt the same way as Liu Fangliang, Li Yan used field artillery to split the momentum of the thief army and the cavalry formation, and then ordered the whole army to attack!

At this time, Liu Fangliang and Gu Yinggao were shocked to find that Li Yan's power was so strong, and nearly 20,000 horses were all cavalry!

Cavalry fighting infantry is always crushing!

In addition, although the two sides are born from the same root, but at this time each is its master, one side has killed the righteous officers and soldiers of the Tartars from outside the pass, and the other side is the thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people, whether it is confidence or momentum at this time, the thief army is far inferior!

Li Yan unexpectedly hit the head, not only the vanguard cavalry of the thief army was in chaos, but also the momentum and rhythm of the other party were also disrupted.

In a war, what is fought is momentum, one increase and one decrease, and the battle situation is clear at a glance.

Li Zicheng, who heard the news and knew that something was wrong, hurried to supervise the battle, and only traveled more than ten miles before he saw that the sky was full of fighting figures in the north.

Why did you lose so quickly?

"Lord, nearly 100 artillery pieces are lurking in Li Yan's formation, shelling our forward and chaotic positions, and the displaced people are chaotic until our formation is in chaos, and its tens of thousands of cavalry are really unstoppable..."

"Rubbish!"

Li Zicheng shouted angrily, looking back at the siege of Baoding City, if this side of the rout, it will inevitably affect the city, and the officers and soldiers in the city join forces inside and outside, just afraid of ......

Hold on, Li Zicheng glanced at the battlefield in the distance, the officers and soldiers relied on the advantage of the cavalry, and the infantry of the righteous army who killed them had no power to fight back, and retreated again and again, but the cavalry of the righteous army was able to block its front, and they could not hold each other for a while, in general, although they had been defeated and retreated, but there was no rout, if they could block the offensive of the officers and soldiers in time, they could turn defeat into victory if they could not keep it together, after all, although the officers and soldiers cavalry were advantageous, but the strength was not as good as half of the righteous army.

At that time, Liu Fangliang was ordered to lead more than 1,000 personal soldiers to attack from the west flank, Gu Ying blocked the torrent head-on, and Gao Yigong detoured from the east flank, trying to regain the decline, and at the same time ordered the pro-soldiers to quickly pass Chen Yongfu and Bai Guangen, who were attacking the city at the northwest two gates of Baoding City, to quickly send troops to help this place, be sure to block Li Yan, and not let him kill under the city.

The combat power and cohesion and loyalty of the pro-soldiers are far stronger than ordinary soldiers, usually protect the main general, and can resist the beam at critical moments, blocking the eye-catching, in history, this kind of crisis moment relies on the main general to lead the pro-army to join the battle, and there are countless examples of reversing the decline.

Here Liu Fangliang and a few people received the order to go, and the herald also hurriedly went to Baoding City to send a message to rescue the soldiers, Li Zicheng frowned and stared at the battlefield tightly, very nervous in his heart, but also shocked by the strength of Li Yanbu.

He knew that after Li Yan defected, he would naturally not let him lead regular officers and soldiers with the urine nature of the imperial court, and it should be a man and horse formed by the righteous army in Taiyuan, but how could he have such strength, and how could the imperial court be willing to invest so much money to equip this subordinate division, ten thousand war horses, and tens of thousands of armor...... Tsk, can't figure it out.

He only felt that Li Yanbu's clothes were peculiar, and thought that it was recustomized by the imperial court, but he never thought that it was all pulled down from the Qing army.

Shibei should be impressed for three days, Li Zicheng sighed and wondered if he had been too floating recently......

"The Lord is not good, it is not good" At this time, a fast horse galloped over, and immediately the person looked frightened, Li Zicheng was nervous at this time, and he was furious when he heard the words, and when he got close, he whipped it over, and the face of the herald was immediately bloodstained, and the man turned over and dismounted and knelt in a low voice trembling: "The Lord is ......."

"If there's a fart, let it go!" Li Zicheng roared.

"Defeat ...... the West"

What the! Li Zicheng was stunned, frowned and looked westward, and then his face turned gray.
