Before Mao Zheng arrived, Xiao Yanwu received the news that the baggage camp was attacked, and he was stunned, wasn't the Heavenly Army trapped in the Snake Mountain, where did this group of thieves who robbed the camp come from? Meng Guangliang was incompetent, affecting the three armies.

Xiao Yanwu did not dare to delay, there were 8,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Nandang County, including 4,000 light cavalry, Xiao Yanwu gathered to briefly explain the situation, and personally led 4,000 light cavalry to rescue the baggage battalion. It was only thirty miles from Nandang County to the baggage camp, and it only took two quarters of an hour for the light cavalry, and the military situation was urgent.

The sky was already bright, and the black smoke could be seen billowing from a few miles away, Xiao Yanwu's heart sank, he still had a glimmer of hope, the thieves came to rob the food and ordnance, there were so many things in the baggage camp, the thieves couldn't transport them away for a while, and they would be blocked by themselves. When the light cavalry approached, Xiao Yanwu saw that the entire baggage camp was shrouded in flames, and he could feel the scorching heat from dozens of steps.

"Look around and see if you can spot any signs of the thief." Xiao Yanwu commanded. The fire can't be saved, look at this fire has been burning for at least half an hour, and even the outermost wall is on fire, how to save it?

In less than a quarter of an hour, someone brought a few bustards to the tent in the west, and Xiao Yanwu learned that Meng Guangliang actually stayed in the Qinglou last night, and scolded hatefully: "Damn, there is more than innocent death."

At this time, some deserters saw the banner of Zheng Jun and came out of the woods and hills where they were hiding, and Xiao Yanwu soon learned that last night's third watch, about 4,000 Tiantian troops attacked the camp, killed in the camp and set fire everywhere, and Meng Guangliang was killed in front of the battle.

"Do you know when and where did the thief flee?" Xiao Yanwu asked.

It was easy to find on the ground that more than 4,000 people had trampled on that the routed soldiers had left at the beginning of the thief army, and had been gone for nearly an hour. These thieves are on foot, and they can walk more than 20 miles in an hour, and they can't chase after them for more than a moment on foot.

Xiao Yanwu did not order the pursuit, but instead asked people to collect food to satisfy their hunger, and let the light horse dismount and rest. Xiao Yanwu spread the marching map on the ground to find the terrain where the thieves had withdrawn, the direction of the thieves' escape was not an official road, and there were no road signs on the map, so there should be an acquaintance leading the way. This section of the road to climb the mountain and cross the ravine, it is not easy for the light riding in, and the place passed is mostly high mountains and dense forests, easy to ambush, Xiao Yan Wurong horse life, he knows that he should be cautious.

Rao Qiangfeng's men and horses rested in a mountain col twenty miles away from the baggage camp, and he snatched more than 100 war horses from the baggage camp, pulled 14 carts of salt, and pulled 8 carts of dry food and dried meat, and then withdrew. After a night of running, everyone was tired, and after hearing the order to rest, they sat on the side of the road, leaning against the trees and eating dry food, and many people started to snore. As the main general, Rao Qiangfeng did not dare to be careless, and asked Li Zongming to ride a horse and lead people to reconnoiter along the circuit to prevent the Zheng army from attacking.

The scouts on both sides looked at each other from a distance, greeted each other with arrows and then left, Rao Qiangfeng knew that the officers and soldiers had arrived after getting the report, and they should have been light horses when they calculated the time, but they didn't know how many people there were. Two feet definitely can't run on four legs, Rao Qiangfeng recalled the road he had traveled when he came, and he was going to find a place to set up an ambush.

…………

Feng Siyan's soldiers and horses approached the 100-mile range of Anping County, the border city of Great Qi State, and Yang Siqi received an urgent report from the guard general Yuan Weixian. Li Qing said angrily: "Jiang An's righteous words are not believed, Li Mingfeng actually doesn't remember brotherhood, and helps the government deceive us, it's hateful." ”

Yang Siqi said:

"It shouldn't be about Ming Feng's business, Jiang Anyi is not a person who is untrustworthy, this time it is Feng Siyan, the deputy governor of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, who came up to Huazhou to grab merit. If it weren't for the fact that the foundation of our Great Qi Kingdom was too thin, otherwise it would be a good thing for the Great Qi Kingdom to simply give him some sweetness and let Emperor Zheng Guo transfer Jiang Anyi away. ”

Li Qingdao: "Feng Siyan led his troops to Xiaozhen to pounce, and wanted to find face in our Great Qi Kingdom, so let's give him a good face, so that President Zheng Guochao can remember it for a long time." I led my army to meet the enemy. ”

Looking at Li Qing's eager look, Yang Siqi smiled and said: "You stay here, I will personally lead the army forward, fighting a war is not just a hard fight, there are a lot of twists and turns here, and it will be bad if you go." By the way, you send people around looking for the horse thieves and see if you can recruit them in. ”

Li Qing said depressedly: "Okay, all the messengers will be yours, and I will look for someone at home." By the way, what should Ming Feng do? Li Mingfeng has been staying in Anping County, as Jiang Anyi's messenger, he has lived a happy life.

Yang Siqi thought for a while and said, "I'll take him with me, and let Ming Feng bring a mask and don't show up, maybe it's useful." ”

The lion fought the rabbit with all his strength, and Yang Siqi mobilized 12,000 soldiers and horses to gather in Shun'anping County to wait for Feng Siyan's arrival. Feng Siyan's 8,000 soldiers and horses were not placed on Yang Siqi's heart, and the geographical environment of Anping County was familiar with his chest, even if it was doubled, Yang Siqi would not care, even if Jiang Anyi came to Yang Siqi in person, he was also confident.

Yang Siqi didn't plan to fight to the death with Feng Siyan outside Anping City, and set up a formation to fight Feng Siyan ten miles outside Anping City. Feng Siyan looked at the three thousand Great Qi troops in front of him, the armor on his body was messy, and the formation was not neat, Feng Siyan secretly rejoiced: After all, the Great Qi Kingdom was born in a rogue, and he grabbed a piece of territory in the Western Regions to establish a country, and his confidence was insufficient.

Feng Siyan had heard that there were many masters in the Great Qi Kingdom, and he didn't want to be injured by the masters hidden in the army, and the number of soldiers and horses in the Great Qi Kingdom was not large, and there was no place for ambushes to hide in front of him, except for Anping City, which was far away in the sky, there was no place for ambushes to hide, and the credit sent to the door should not be in vain. In one go, Feng Siyan passed down the military order, "Rush forward, defeat the enemy, and reward meritorious deeds."

The two armies fought, and the numerical superiority of the Zheng army was revealed, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Qi State were somewhat unable to resist the enemy. Yang Siqi snatched out of the formation and beheaded several generals in a row, Feng Siyan recognized Yang Siqi at a glance. Yang Siqi, the prime minister of the Great Qi State, the pillar of the Great Qi State, it can be said that Yang Siqi was killed and the Great Qi State was not far from destruction, so the reward given by the court was the Marquis of Pingqi, with 600 households, which was the best among the marquis.

Of course, Feng Siyan, who was bent on getting promoted and making a fortune, would not let go of this opportunity, Feng Siyan secretly mobilized troops and horses to encircle Yang Siqi. As long as Yang Siqi can be caught or killed, it doesn't hurt that all those Great Qi Si's soldiers and horses will be let go.

Yang Siqi seemed to have noticed that the situation was not good, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Qi Kingdom began to shrink and retreat, apparently wanting to return to Anping City. Feng Siyan was a little anxious, he had no intention of attacking the Great Qi State in advance, he only made a temporary decision after the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, the army did not carry many siege equipment, if Yang Siqi was allowed to retreat to Anping City, it would be difficult to capture him again.

Ling Qi waved, two thousand light horsemen went forward, ready to block the retreat of the Great Qi army, Feng Siyan stared at Yang Siqi, and Ling Qi issued an order for the soldiers to drag Yang Siqi to death. Yang Siqi obviously noticed that something was wrong, neighed, rode a horse, and led more than ten people to break through to the south side.

Feng Siyan was overjoyed, Yang Siqi made a mistake in a hurry, and leaving the brigade at this time undoubtedly put himself in danger. The flag waved rapidly, and more than 1,000 light horsemen cruising on the side followed behind Yang Siqi, and the distance between the two was only thirty steps away, and the pursuers continued to shoot arrows, and Yang Siqi's more than ten people were divided into two parts again, apparently trying to lure away some of the pursuers.

Seeing that Yang Siqi was a little panicked and getting farther and farther away from the team, Feng Siyan was determined and gradually came to the forefront of the team, even if Yang Siqi returned to kill, he could face it calmly.

Feng Siyan laughed and said, "Today, Yang Siqi is running to the edge of the sky, and Ben Shuai will catch him." As if in response to Feng Siyan's words, Yang Siqi's horse slowed down, turned around and shot an arrow, a light horse fell in response, followed by another arrow, and another person fell to the ground. Feng Siyan shrank in the army and sneered: "Let him shoot, see how many arrows he can shoot." ”

Yang Siqi shot and walked, and suddenly the horse seemed to step on the gravel, and his front hooves bent. Yang Siqi reacted very quickly, jumped up from the horse, and landed on the ground. Yang Siqi's horse fell at the end of the line, and the horse in front of him was still galloping forward, and no one noticed Yang Siqi's abnormality.

Feng Siyan looked up to the sky and smiled: "God help me, don't worry, slowly surround it, Yang Siqi can't run." ”

Yang Siqi threw away the bow in his hand, got up and ran towards a stone forest two miles away, in front of the stone forest was a two-mile wide sandy land, Yang Siqi's body flew by, as fast as a galloping horse.

The terrain of the stone forest is unpredictable, Feng Siyan was afraid that Yang Siqi would enter the stone forest and take the opportunity to escape, so he ordered loudly: "Everyone spread out, don't let Yang Siqi enter the stone forest, be careful that there is an ambush in the stone forest." ”

The horse's hooves were not strong on the sand, and his speed slowed down a lot, and seeing that Yang Siqi had swept nearly half of the sand, Feng Siyan said urgently: "Hurry up, don't let him run." ”

More than a thousand horses spread out for half a mile, and the soldiers whipped the horses vigorously, and suddenly, the horses' hooves were empty, and they sank downward, and the yellow sand flowed like water. The horses in front of them fell into the sand, and the horses behind them couldn't stop their legs at all, and rushed forward one after another, and in an instant, more than two hundred war horses and knights fell into the quicksand.

Feng Siyan didn't rush forward, he was afraid that there was an ambush in the stone forest, and the horses were not running fast. The neighing and screaming of the horse in front of him came, Feng Siyan hurriedly reined in the war horse, the quicksand in the Gobi is very dangerous, the more he struggles, the faster he falls, if he is not rescued in time, he will soon be buried alive by the quicksand.

Yang Siqi stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't move, bury yourself in the sand and you won't be saved." ”

At this time, more than a thousand war horses rushed out of the stone forest, bypassing the quicksand and attacking both sides, just as Feng Siyan expected, Yang Siqi set a trap here. Zheng Jun's momentum was already depressed, and Yang Siqi had already identified Feng Siyan who was leading the team, and turned around and ran towards him. Feng Siyan didn't know how many soldiers and horses were in ambush in the Great Qi Kingdom, and the head of the carousel fled towards the place where he came.

The three thousand soldiers and horses of the Great Qi Kingdom walked while fighting, leading the Zheng army soldiers and horses to approach Anping City, and when everyone came to three miles outside the city, the city gate was opened, and countless soldiers and horses rushed out of the city. Feng Siyan led more than 1,000 light horsemen to chase Yang Siqi, but the army did not have a unified order, and it was in chaos and defeated backwards.

By the time Feng Siyan returned to the battlefield just now, the situation had been reversed, looking at the soldiers and horses of the Great Qi State everywhere, Feng Siyan knew that the defeat was decided, and fled with light cavalry, and the infantry had no way to escape on the Gobi, even if they fled, they would die of thirst and freeze to death, and under the loud surrender of the Great Qi State, the four thousand infantry became prisoners.
