( = Money Man, Money Man,,。 The news came back to Yangzhou, Jianghuai was in an uproar, the Tang army was in a series of victories, an incompetent emperor was in power, and Duan Mingyu was such a demon, and the ambition of the Jianghuai army was blown to nothing, and many of Yang Xingmi's staff couldn't help but think of the fate of the Xiongnu and Turks who lost their sweat tents and went to the Western Regions one after another, and they also began to consider giving up the Huainan defense line, shrinking troops and horses, and protecting their hometown in the south of the Yangtze River

Jianghuai is divided into two parts, Jiangnan and Huainan, collectively known as Huainan, Yang Xingmi's own territory is protected from the disaster of swords, so he has to block the Tang army on the land of Huainan

This decision can not be said to be incorrect, the transfer of Jīng soldiers to Huainan as the battlefield, with the richness and Jiangnan as the backing, Yang Xingmi personally arranged the Shou Chūn City as the center, the Huainan defense line is an attempt to keep the enemy out, now the situation in Huainan is precarious, naturally some people put forward a proposal to return to Jiangnan, one person proposed, there are ten people, hundreds of people responded, for a time Jiangnan small court hall clamoring with the same voice: "Give up Huainan eleven states, shrink troops and horses, and arrange the Yangtze River defense line to protect Jiangnan!"

"Nonsense! There are no more people who dare to abandon our land and chase soldiers to protect themselves!"

Yang Xingmi pressed his sword and stood up, and his polite eyebrows were so shocked that no one dared to speak in the hall, leaving only his loud words: "In the past, I Jianghuai dominated the world, and no one dared to stop me, even if I was a hero in the world, I couldn't help it, and now the city of Shou Chūn is in danger, and the defenders are facing hundreds of thousands of enemy troops for more than a month, not losing an inch of land, just waiting for my Jiangnan tiger and wolf army to help relieve the siege, you are actually timid and afraid of war."

Looking around at the full hall, Yang Xingmi said resolutely and resolutely: "You don't retreat!" If I, the children of Jiangdong, want to die, I will die vigorously, and this commander will personally lead his troops to fight and die under the city of Shou Chūn!"

Seeing that their own commander had such bloody bravery, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were ashamed and did not dare to say anything to Yang Xingmi, and their resolute words also aroused their fierce spirit

Yang Xingmi issued an edict against thieves, claiming that there were thieves on the king's side, and those who were ministers should raise troops to punish them, which was a righteous act on the Qing monarch's side, but Yang Xingmi immediately proclaimed himself the king of Huainan and rushed to the rescue of 100,000 Jianghuai soldiers to the rescue of Shouchūn City, and his antipathy was immediately exposed

……

Corpses are littered everywhere

The commanders of both sides sat on the Chinese army and continued to invest in the troops, the battle group became more and more powerful, from the top of the mountain, the entire plain was full of rampaging soldiers and horses, killing earth-shattering, the moon was dark, the whole earth trembled, from the initial slow gallop, rushing tens of thousands of war horses, so that the whole earth trembled under their feet, Yang Fugong's camp was immovable, and the two thousand men and horses placed in the Chinese army were Duan Mingyu's descendants, General Wang Aiqing, they had been killed for a long time, and naturally did not put this kind of power in their eyes

Put them in the middle of the army to face the enemy, and also out of this kind of consideration, his soldiers said that the jīng soldiers were just equipped with jīng Liang, and carried out a lot of formal training, but they did not go through the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield, after all, it was not a mature army, although victory and defeat were a common thing for soldiers, but Duan Mingyu could not be defeated now, the troops next to him were all veterans, and the veterans led the new soldiers, Duan Mingyu's army, but the new soldiers accounted for the majority, and this first battle must not be chaotic. It must not be defeated, and it is out of this consideration that he refuses to escape, and an orderly retreat is something that only a veteran of a hundred battles can do, otherwise he is likely to be slaughtered like a sheep by An Renping's army

The enemy army was menacing, although the troops on both wings did not withstand their collision head-on, they still moved a little under that invisible coercion, but the stability of the Chinese army gave them great confidence, and the handsome flag fluttering high made them quickly stabilize, seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and the Chinese army suddenly launched dozens of crossbow carts

Eight hundred steps, seven hundred steps, when the enemy's cavalry was less than six hundred steps away, Wang Aiqing, who had just withdrawn from the front, pointed the big gun in his hand fiercely forward, and suddenly fired a huge arrow as thick as a spear, and roared out, with a sharp roar like a piercing eardrum, and pounced on the rushing war horse of the enemy group galloping, and immediately turned on his back

The cavalry in front was planted on the ground, and the cavalry behind couldn't stop the speed, so they trampled on it fiercely, many people fell off their horses, and the attack formation was blunt, and the enemy immediately spread the formation, whether it was horizontal or vertical, and the distance between the knights was scattered, and this few Shou chūn cavalry was also battle-hardened, and the impact of the formation did not decrease at all, and the ballista was still shè, but the killing effect was not as obvious as Fang Cai

The Chinese army banner waved again, the Chinese army connected the two wings of the crossbowmen, the crossbowmen immediately took off the bow and crossbow, they used the cross crossbow shè, the ordinary bow is far above the ordinary bow and arrow, the ordinary bow abandons shè, between two to three rounds, the enemy horse can rush to the front, turn to hand-to-hand combat, and use the cross crossbow, even if the bow horse is not skilled enough, the warrior can at least increase the chance of a round of shè, the bowstring is noisy like rain, the arrows do not need to be aimed at the dense attack, so that the enemy horse has fallen off the horse, before they get close to them, they have to pay a greater degree of loss, the most important thing is that after the crossbow and the bow and crossbow repeated blows, their impact sharpness has been greatly affected

After a hundred battles, the iron cavalry never thought that the bow and crossbow in Yang Hao's army would be so powerful, and this moment of kung fu had made them pay a huge price, but the sacrifice of their companions was worth it, they were getting closer and closer, and the bow and crossbow were about to lose their effect, as long as they let their light cavalry rush over, it would be a one-sided slaughter scene, and when their iron cavalry torrent passed through Wang Aiqing's army, they would leave behind a stump and broken arm

Seeing the enemy cavalry rushing towards the Chinese camp with the murderous aura of Chong Xiao, the crossbow cart seemed to be shaken, and the crossbow carts were pushed in a panic, and the soldiers on both sides began to retreat one after another, Shou chūn Iron Cavalry smiled fiercely, his bloodthirsty eyes stared at the enemy in front of him, and the steel knives in his hands were raised in unison

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Shence Army in front of them retreated with a faster degree, and at the same time, a group of soldiers steadily interspersed between them, step by step, their dress was different from that of ordinary soldiers, the crossbowmen of the square were wearing only a leather armor, but they were wearing full body iron armor, burly figures, heavy steps, although the earth was trembling, their steps were steady and dignified, and soon they were neatly lined up side by side
