Volume 1 Mountains and Rivers Change Hands Chapter 12 The King of Jinling is gloomy 3

Ping'an led his troops to kill, surrounded Tan Qing, Liu Rong and others, after a fierce fight, there was not much left of the Yan army, Ping'an shouted to Tan Qing: "You have exhausted your aid, and if you don't get off the horse and surrender, I will spare you from dying." ”

After Tan Qing slashed down a Southern soldier with a knife, he shouted, "If you dismount and surrender, I will spare you from death." ”

Ping'an was furious and urged the horse to stab Tan Qing with a gun.

Suddenly, he heard a loud commotion in his team, and Ping An turned his head to look, only to see that the prince of Yan led the elite horse to help, Zhu Neng was on the left, Qiu Fu was on the right, and he was invincible.

King Yan shouted at Tan Qing: "Commander Tan, don't panic, I'm here to save you." ”

Tan Qing was overjoyed at first sight, and Liu Rong lifted their spirits and fought bravely to kill the enemy.

King Yan entered the encirclement, joined Tan Qing and others, and then led the two of them to break through the siege, and Ping'an led the army to chase after him.

King Yan said to Zhu Neng: "Zhu Dudu, whether I can get out of trouble this time depends on your ability." ”

Zhu Neng obeyed the order, and led dozens of cavalry to break off, and when he saw the southern army chasing after him, he shot with his bow and shot, but he fell down without the string, and the southern army did not dare to chase again.

Ping'an and Zhang Shixing saw that King Yan had gone away, so they collected their troops and returned to the camp.

In the summer and April, Ping'an led the army to camp on the south bank of Suishui, and the Yan soldiers were based in Hebei, opposite the southern army across the river.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, said to the generals: "The thieves are embarrassed, so they must fight." I will wait for it according to the danger, and if I advance, I will strangle his throat, and if I retreat, I will pull his back, and the thieves will be defeated. Then he ordered the governor Chen Wen to choke the water at the key point of the bridge, first cross the foot soldiers and baggage, and the cavalry followed, and divided the troops to guard the bridge to prevent the southern army from seizing.

Chen Wen once served as the commander of the Daning Guard, and later joined Chen Heng to serve Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and after Chen Heng was killed, he took his post and was promoted to the governor.

The next day, the general army of Ping'an lined up the southern army for more than ten miles, divided into left and right wings, and attacked the Yan army by the river to the east.

The prince of Yan led the cavalry to battle, and when he saw Ping'an, he shouted to kill the thief, and his troops moved forward and fought with the Yan army.

Zhang Shixing led the rear army to come to the aid and fought with Chen Wen for the bridge he was guarding. Zhang Shixing jumped on his horse and fought, a shot pierced Chen Wen's throat, Chen Wen raised his gun to block, who knew that Zhang Shixing was a false move, drew the gun back, and a shot pierced Chen Wen's chest, Chen Wen couldn't dodge and was killed on the spot.

Zhang Shixing waved his army forward, broke the Yan army, and captured hundreds of people. The southern army seized the bridge and went north, and it was a hundred times more courageous.

King Yan saw that he couldn't resist it, so he also led his troops across the river.

Ping An led the army in hot pursuit, came to a hillside, saw that the king of Yan was a stone's throw away from him, Ping An urged the horse forward, caught up with the king of Yan, shouted, stabbed straight at the lance, and saw that he was about to pierce the heart of the queen of Yan.

Suddenly, I heard a man in the woods next to him shouting, "Don't hurt my lord!" Yan general Qiu Fu led hundreds of brave men from the forest suddenly rushed out, an arrow shot on the front legs of the Ping'an war horse, the war horse immediately fell to the ground, Ping'an also fell off the horse, not waiting for the Yan army to kill, Ping'an soldiers immediately pulled him on the horse, fled to the south bank. Only then did King Yan escape with his life.

Qiu Fu joined the cavalry led by King Yan and turned to the southern army, but the southern army could not resist and fled back to the north bank. The battle was vicious and abnormal, the commanders of the Southern Army, Ding Liang and Zhu Bin, were executed, and the Yan generals were all commanded Han Gui and died.

The two sides withdrew their troops, so the southern army was stationed in the south of the bridge, and the Yan army was stationed in the north of the bridge, holding each other for several days. The southern army ran out of food and picked wild vegetables to eat.

King Yan said to the generals: "The thieves are very hungry, now our army is holding on to them, they live on the south bank, it is convenient to feed, after a day or two, the enemy's grain and grass are slightly gathered, and the thieves are rich, and it is not easy to break." It's better to take advantage of its fatigue for a quick victory. ”

The generals nodded yes.

So King Yan left more than 1,000 troops to guard the bridge, and the army moved eastward and camped thirty miles away from the southern army camp. In the middle of the night, the Yan army crossed the river and went south, bypassing behind the southern army.

Wait until dawn, the southern army will start to feel. Ping An led the army out of formation, and the king of Yan fought in Qimei Mountain, from noon to dusk, the two armies were evenly killed, and they had to collect their troops and return to the camp.

In the next day, the battle will be foggy, swirling around the mountains, and there is no one ten steps away, and Ping An is afraid of accidentally injuring his own people, so he leads the troops to retreat.

By noon, the clouds had cleared, and King Yan immediately led his troops in pursuit, and caught up with the southern army within ten miles. The southern army was shocked when they saw it, thinking that the Yan army had great magical powers, but in fact, the southern army was lost in the fog, so they only walked ten miles away in one morning.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Ping An took off his helmet and threw it to the ground: "If you want to die with a dick facing up, you will fight to the death with the swallow thief here." He ordered his men to dig trenches to defend themselves and build fortifications for battle.

The Yan army rushed like a tide, and the southern army camp flew like a rain of arrows, and it was another tragic battle, and by noon, both sides were exhausted.

At this time, an army behind the Yan army came to kill, the leader was eight feet tall, his face was like a crown of jade, and his heroic appearance was extraordinary, it was the son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and Xu Huizu, the brother of Xu Miaoyun, the princess of Yan, who led the army to help, and killed the Yan army in a big defeat, and fled in all directions.

After the Yan general Li Bin was broken off by the army, he tried his best to resist, but because the horse lost his front hoof, he fell off the horse, was surrounded by the southern army, and killed several people. The Southern Army won a complete victory.

Since going south, the Yan army has suffered setbacks repeatedly, and the generals Wang Zhen, Chen Wen, and Li Bin are all brave and good at fighting, and they all died on the spot, and the morale of the Yan army was depressed.

The generals of the Yan army were all frightened, and they came to the big tent of the Chinese army to persuade the king of Yan: "Today, our army has gone deep into the south, held on to the thieves, and marched in midsummer, which has always been a taboo for the northern soldiers. In the case of continuous summer rain, the Huai soil is steaming and wet, if there is a disease, there is a regret of Cao Cao's red cliff. Now the east of Suishui, flat wilderness, and many cattle and sheep, two wheat will be ripe, grain and grass are sufficient, if our army crosses the river and chooses a place to camp, rest the soldiers and horses, and wait to move, it is a perfect strategy. ”

King Yan looked around at the generals and said, "When the two armies meet, the brave wins!" The way of using soldiers is all in one breath, there is no advance or retreat, and everything is invincible. If you cross north today, the morale will be gone, and the army will disintegrate. Now take advantage of the enemy's food and grass before it arrives, and it is weak, and fight with it again, and you can break the enemy in one fell swoop. What the public sees is too short-sighted! ”

Although the generals of the Yan army did not dare to speak, they had the word dissatisfaction written on their faces.

Seeing this, King Yan ordered: "Those who want to cross the river will stand on the left, and those who do not want to cross the river will stand on the right!" ”

I only heard the sound of footsteps, and most of the generals stood on the left, only Zhu Neng, Zheng Heng's second general stood on the right, and there was a brave general commanding Wang Zhong, standing in the middle, looking left and right, not knowing how to choose.

Seeing this, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, couldn't help but be furious and said: "The public does it himself!" Kill the Jingshi alone, to Qingjun's side! ”

The generals bowed their heads and remained silent.

Zhu Neng saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly persuaded him: "All the gentlemen are reluctant! In the past, Han Gaozu fought ten battles and was invincible in nine, and he died in the world, how could he retreat! The world often travels a hundred miles and half ninety, our army has reached Huaishui, do not go down to the Beijing division, never return south, and those who violate the order have such wood. ”

With that, he drew his sword and cut off the corner of the table, raised his arms and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yan, Chitose Chitose, Chitose Chitose." ”

The generals were shocked when they heard this, and they all raised their hands in response.

King Yan's face softened at this time, and said to the generals: "The thief grain is transported from Huai'an, and to the big camp, worried about my disturbance, he will divide the troops to protect, and the soldiers are weak, I attack it with the whole army, the thief is not strong, and he will abandon the grain and collapse, if the thieves in the camp come to the rescue, I will take advantage of its chaos, and I will break the enemy with one drum." ”

So King Yan sent Liu Rong again to intercept the grain route of the southern army, and this time Liu Rong knew that the stakes were very high, and he gladly accepted the order. Before leaving, King Yan told him: "If the thief has a public, don't fight with it, come and report to me quickly, but fight and retreat, and lead him into an ambush with exhaustion, which is a great achievement." ”

Liu Rong obeyed the order, led a thousand light horsemen to go, to the southern army to take its food and salary, cut off its wood, Yan Wang ordered people to harass the southern army camp, so that it could not sleep peacefully, in order to command the war, he himself could not disarm for several days.

Ping An and the others were miserable, and discussed with Xu Huizu how to fight the enemy.

Xu Huizu thought for a long time and said: "The road of Qimei Mountain is rugged, and the transfer is inconvenient, if the army moves to Lingbi and is close to the Bianhe River, it is convenient to have food, and it has been a long-term plan. At that time, we will lead our troops in pursuit, and we will surely win a great victory. ”

Ping An nodded and said, "This plan is very good. Then he led the army to move to Lingbi, and the Yan army led the army to follow.

On this day, Yan General Liu Rong came to report that there were tens of thousands of people transporting grain from the southern army, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain were transported by small trucks, coming to the camp of the southern army, which was still 20 miles away from here. Ping'an, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, personally led 60,000 Ma Bu troops to protect him, so that those who bear grain are in the middle.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was overjoyed when he heard the report, and ordered 10,000 people of the tiger to ambush near the camp of the southern army to prevent him from helping. He also ordered Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, to ambush his troops in the forest, and immediately go out to battle when the enemy is tired. And King Yan himself led a large army to meet Ping'an.

As soon as Ping'an saw that King Yan had been killed, he immediately divided the cavalry into two wings and attacked the Yan army. Shooting left and right, the arrows rained down, and more than 1,000 Yan soldiers were killed.

King Yan's face did not change, the army attacked, traversed its formation, and broke the southern army into two, and the people who transported the grain were shocked, abandoned the grain and left, scurrying around, disrupting the southern army's ranks, and drinking peacefully could not be stopped.

Xu Huizu and Zhang Shixing and others heard that the ambush was safe, hurriedly led the army out of the camp, came to the rescue, as soon as they came out of the camp, they encountered the ambush of more than 10,000 tigers of the Yan army, Zhang Shixing fought hard, and finally opened a bloody road, and Ping'an and others rendezvous, and everyone did not wait to return to the camp, Zhu Gaoxu, who was ambushed in the forest, led the army to kill again, and the king of Yan led the army to cover it, the southern army suffered from the enemy on its back, and the strength could not be supported, so it was defeated and fled, was beheaded countless times, and lost thousands of horses.

Ping'an and the others fled back to the camp, but the wall could not be held.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, led the generals to climb the heights to observe the enemy's situation, and when he saw that the southern army could not get out, he smiled at the generals: "What do you think is the matter with the thieves blocking the camp gate?" ”

After seeing this, the generals also replied with a smile: "After this great defeat, the thief army does not dare to fight again, and insists on waiting for help." ”

King Yan shook his head and said, "Otherwise, this thief will also confuse me." It seems that the door is not out, but in fact, it is a hole in it, and if you want to fall out of it, you can escape from the camp by robbing it at night, and you must be cautious to prevent it. ”

Only then did the generals suddenly realize that they had taken a closer look at the enemy camp, and sure enough.

That night, Ping'an's face was heavy, and he ordered the generals: "Today's army is defeated, the food is not enough, and the army's heart is unstable. ”

Xu Huizu sighed helplessly and said, "It's all about now." ”

Ping'an said: "In that case, early tomorrow morning, Commander Zhang will be the vanguard, Wei Guogong will be the Chinese army, and I will be the rear of the palace. ”

Zhang Shixing and Xu Huizu agreed, and they each prepared to go.

Early the next morning, when the sky was just dawning, when Zhang Shixing was assembling the team, he suddenly heard three cannon shots, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "How can I break through so early, and no one will come to inform me." ”
