Chapter 92: The Battle of Zhenping (II)
Knowing that the number of officers and soldiers is not large, many people are seeking war.
Liu Xiyao said: "I think let me go to the front!" ”
Bai Minghe also smiled and said: "You can go, I'm afraid that this group of officers and soldiers will not be able to withstand the rush and will be defeated, and then our men and horses will have nothing to do, but we can only wait for the battlefield to clean up after the war and pick up some weapons and ordnance." ”
This Liu Xiyao and Bai Minghe are both Tian Jianxiu's right-hand men, and the incident was only a few months later than Wang Er, who was the first righteous in Baishui, and after Wang Er's death, the rest of the troops voted for Wang Jiayin, and they have been breaking into the camp until now.
Tian Jianxiu also thinks so, with such a small number of officers and soldiers, it is basically over if you get 10,000 people to rush at once, and there are still 30,000 people in the palace, no matter how you fight, you will not lose this battle, in fact, there is nothing to discuss.
As for who the chief general of this army of officers and soldiers is, Tian Jianxiu has no leisure to know, and now almost all the most capable people in the imperial court have followed the surname Hong to Guanwai, and the remaining Sun Chuanting is still in Tongguan.
Whoever is here will not be able to make a name for himself.
"Then let Xiyao take the front, and I will lead the army to respond." Tian Jianxiu said, turned to Bai Minghe, and continued: "Let you break off this time, do you think it's okay?" ”
Bai Minghe shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I can do anything, but Liu Xiyao, you have to leave some for me, don't just care about your own comfort." ”
Liu Xiyao laughed.
"I'm not comfortable letting you watch the play for nothing, General, or else. I see that Yuan Shizhong didn't dare to come out of the city, and there was no second army of officers and soldiers behind us, rather than let Bai Minghe cut off our back, it was better for him to cut off the back of the officers and soldiers! ”
"You mean to cut off the way back to the officers and soldiers?" Tian Jianxiu was shocked, even he hadn't thought of this bold method.
Bai Minghe thought for a while, nodded and said: "We will insert it behind the officers and soldiers, if the front has not finished beating, then we will beat their buttocks and hit them at both ends, so that they can't finish the whole way." ”
"If the officers and soldiers are defeated and flee, then it is just right, I will go up and intercept it, this is good!"
Although Tian Jianxiu thought that this official army would be defeated as soon as it rushed, it obviously didn't hurt to let Bai Minghe go to copy the back road, and no matter how he fought, he would win.
"Okay, just do as you say!"
......
The next day, Liu Xiyao led the front army to walk about three miles, and there was no shadow of the official army.
"Damn, the dog officers and soldiers have slipped away? Why can't you even see a figure? ”
Speaking of which, in the past two years, there have been repeated incidents of officers and soldiers fleeing first when they hear the news, and Liu Xiyao cannot judge whether this group of officers and soldiers has run away or not.
"Tell Tian Ye that the dog officers and soldiers may have already run away, let's go faster, even if we really run, we must catch up and kill them!"
Liu Xiyao gave an order, and the speed of the front army was faster, and by the time Tian Jianxiu received Liu Xiyao's report, he had at least opened a five-mile road with the front army.
Tian Jianxiu didn't think much about it, just thought that the officers and soldiers really ran away, and also ordered the rear army to speed up the pursuit, so that they couldn't even drink the soup.
After walking another three miles, Tanma reported that he had seen the vanguard of officers and soldiers, under the banner of the Nanyang battalion.
Not long after, just when Liu Xiyao was thinking about what the Nanyang camp was, smoke and dust and flags faintly appeared in front of him.
"It's finally here!" Liu Xiyao pointed ahead with a horsewhip, with an irrepressible smile in his eyes.
The rest of the thieves were all excited, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they were not enemies, but guests who had been waiting for a long time.
However, the flag stopped half a mile away, and although Liu Xiyao was not literate, he could also recognize the word "Zhu" written on it.
Zhu Zi Banner, now no one in the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty dares to use this word of the banner, could it be that this Nanyang Battalion is the name of the forbidden army from Beijing?
Just thinking of this, the old camp on the side came up to remind a name, and Liu Xiyao's brain buzzed, recalling the person he saw in Luoyang more than a year ago.
Nanyang battalion, Zhu Youhua is in Nanyang, I'm afraid it's his soldiers and horses!
Looking at it this way, the Zhu Zi banner can be explained.
"The battle of this Nanyang King Luoyang has made us deflated, this time the retribution of the Heavenly Dao is coming, who is the striker he sent, Liu Yuqi or Huang Hu?"
The old camp thought about it for a long time, and asked around, but he also said that he had never seen it.
"It's a fresh face, is it a new recruit last year?" Thinking of this, Liu Xiyao carefully looked at the soldiers below.
The way they shrunk their heads and shrunk their heads, he almost laughed out loud when he saw that they were all recruits who had not been through battle.
"Why did Zhu Youhua send such an unknown new mule?"
"Master Yuan, have you ever heard a sentence in 'Say Three Points'?" The old camp asked.
"What's that?"
"There is no general in Shu, Liao has become a pioneer!"
Liu Xiyao laughed, "Okay! Lao Tzu caught this Liao Hua with his own hands today, let Zhu Youhua take a look! ”
The war drums sounded in unison on the side of the camp, Liu Xiyao took the lead, the cavalry followed behind, and many foot soldiers rushed towards the Nanyang camp in a disorderly manner.
Seeing this battle, to be honest, Lei Dahu, who came to lure the enemy, was really a little panicked, and the soldiers below were almost the same, and they were a little shaken.
It's not acted, it's true.
In order to achieve a realistic effect, Lei Dahu deliberately put the baggage battalion in front, holding tattered bows and arrows and weapons from the guards.
As soon as the crossbowmen shot the first batch of arrows, Liu Xiyao had already rushed in front of him, and the people in the baggage battalion were obviously not the opponents of the horse team that broke into the camp, and quickly retreated into the military formation, and Lei Dahu also began to fight and retreat as planned.
Although the baggage battalion is about to die, there is nothing wrong with the military formation behind, and Lei Dahu is standing here, and he has also conveyed yesterday that he is going to be defeated.
Even the Nanyang battalion itself can't see the real defeat and false defeat, anyway, the right to think that he is cheating, and everyone knows that the army is in ambush in the rear, so at least the army's morale is quite stable.
In Liu Xiyao's eyes, the official army is inevitably a little too weak.
This group of officers and soldiers retreated as soon as they charged, and they became less and less demoralized, first the infantry turned around and ran wildly, and it was not long before the cavalry also turned the dock and fled.
Due to the arrangement made in advance, and I also have some understanding of the terrain of the nearby ten miles, the B-shaped camp is called a smooth one, and even the formation is not very chaotic.
There was not a single case of trampling on each other, but some people kept throwing gongs and drums, flags, and some people threw worn-out helmets and weapons along the way.
The thieves who broke into the camp chased and picked up, and they were all laughing and scolding:
"Where is the prestige of the Battle of Luoyang in the past?"
Liu Xiyao also laughed with a stomachache, looking at the officers and soldiers who were really defeated as expected, and laughed: "Where is this war, this is a fucking rabbit!" ”
He wanted to capture alive Lei Dahu, the former commander of this official army, so as soon as he took the battle, he went straight to the "Lei" flag under the "Zhu" banner.
Although the B-shaped battalion is retreating, this retreat method has been practiced countless times.
As soon as Liu Xiyao rushed over with a team of horses, a cavalry immediately went up to intercept him, and after fighting for a while, he killed a few thieves, and he quickly slipped away without any love of fighting.
When Liu Xiyao came back to his senses, Lei Dahu couldn't see it, so he even skimmed the command flag and the trumpet flag, and the one who ran was called a speed.
Just as Liu Xiyao was about to gather his troops and horses and chase after him, the "thunder" command flag was erected by the officers and soldiers again, and the crossbowmen were shooting arrows in the distance.
As if to say: Come here! I think you're cowardly, you don't dare!!
"it!"
Liu Xiyao scolded angrily, and hurriedly led people to chase after him, and as soon as he chased after him, the rest of the infantry all followed, and the horse team also roared to follow.
In this way, while chasing and killing and picking up things, soon a turbulent river appeared in front of him.
Liu Xiyao didn't care, he didn't know that there was a river here beforehand, so he just rushed through the woods to catch Lei Dahu, the "Liao Hua", under his horse.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers who had fled before stopped in front of a wooden bridge, and suddenly changed their appearances, and the huge shield was pushed up to the front, and many bird-swatters and soldiers who had not seen before appeared.
Suddenly, there was a shout from the woods on both sides, and suddenly, thousands of birds fired in a salvo from both sides and directly in front of them.
