The defenders of the Huangbei River wading ferry encountered the east-west attack of Wang Bin's horse team and Qu Neng's army.

By this time, the sound of the cannon had stopped, and only the occasional scream and sporadic string sound could be heard in the mountains and forests on the east bank, and the neighing of horses and the noise of people in the forest were still faintly audible.

The river water is shallow in winter, and in the section of the Huangbei River here, people and horses can wade directly! The silt at the bottom of the river was trampled on by countless people, and the surface of the water was muddy like mud. The corpses in the mud loomed, and they were washed down to the south by the river.

The guards led Qu Neng's mount, and Qu Neng then waded across the Huangbei River.

Out of the mountains and forests came a round-faced man with dark skin and rough beard and hard hair, he was Wang Bin. Although Qu Neng only arrived at the Han Palace, he was already familiar with this general, one of the three guards of the Han Palace.

"The last general will meet Qu Dudu!" Wang Bin clasped his fists and saluted.

"Wang Dudu helped this time, Qu is unforgettable!" Qu Neng's skeletal and well-defined face glowed red at this time.

It is quite difficult for Qu to be able to say such a sentence with such a demeanor and tone! Qu Neng has always been a very serious person, so serious that he is a bit dull and boring, and he hardly gets too excited.

But he was completely unexpected when he was able to break through the Huangbei River (sending someone to ask Sheng Yong for help, if things went according to plan, they would not progress so quickly), and the matter was also very important; Therefore, Qu Neng's emotions are inevitably impulsive.

Wang Bin arched his hand and said: "The last general is the general at the moment." ”

Qu Neng was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what he might have done wrong. Qu Neng paused, and said quietly: "The level of the position for a while, you don't have to worry about it. The most important thing in life is to see who you are close to. ”

With such clear words, Qu Neng usually only said it to his own son, but he was very grateful to Wang Bin at this time, and he inevitably felt close, so he blurted it out.

The two looked at each other for a while, Wang Bin nodded his head, and then turned to the right.

Qu Neng then led his subordinates and walked north through a section of mountain forest. When you go out of the mountains and forests, you will find a relatively flat place on the riverbank. He looked north for a moment, then turned his head and shouted: "Order, call the men and horses after crossing the river, immediately come here to rectify the queue and advance to the north Qinglong Nunnery!" ”

"Order!"

The topography of the east coast was understood by Qu Neng earlier. The Qinglong Nunnery is on the east bank of the Huangbei River, about two miles away from here; It is said that it was built in the Yuan Dynasty, because of the national policy of the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was almost no incense at this time.

Qinglong Nunnery continues to the north two or three miles, is the Wenchang Bridge. Qu Neng made a decision in an instant: the most important thing at the moment is to seize the Wenchang Bridge immediately!

The soldiers waded through the river from the ferry here, and the river crossing was relatively slow, and the east bank was a mountain forest, which was very unsuitable for the reorganization of the army...... Although the Wenchang Bridge is not spacious, it allows the soldiers to run in columns and cross the river quickly; And there was a village and a large open area, perfect for accommodating a large number of soldiers and horses arriving on the east coast!

It didn't take long for the two hundred-household teams to complete the army. They were immediately moved to the north and advanced in columns.

However, there are still enemy soldiers and horses to the south of Qinglongan. Dense firecrackers and shouts of killing were heard ahead, and a fight soon broke out in the north.

Qu Neng had already noticed that there were many officers and soldiers on the east bank, and only then did he ask: "General Wang, has the enemy army changed its commander?" ”

Wang Bin said in a deep voice: "Exactly. Someone from the enemy's side came over, and our scouts also saw the banner of 'General Pinghan', it should be Zhang Fu who arrived here. ”

After a while, the rout troops from the north poured over to this side, and the two hundred households that had just gone up were defeated! Qu Nengjun had just waded across the river, and went up after a little rectification, and the two hundred households had no reinforcements, so they didn't seem to be able to fight.

Qu Neng turned his head to look at the other people who were gathering behind him, and said, "Continue to attack north!" ”

"Order!"

Qu Neng said again: "Where are the two enemy Hongwu cannons in the mountains and forests before? ”

A military general clenched his fists and said: "The cannon is still there, and the ammunition is not enough." Before the enemy was defeated, the gunpowder was overturned and scattered all over the ground! ”

Qu Neng's army had very few gunpowder arrows, and the small amount of gunpowder left at this time had not yet been transported across the river. Qu Neng had no choice but to give up.

Wang Bin hugged his fists and said: "The last general is willing to lead the horse team to reinforce the front." ”

Qu Neng clenched his fists and saluted back: "That's very good." ”

Wang Bin nodded, then pulled his horse and turned around, shouting, "Brothers, follow me!" ”

Hundreds of people from Qu Neng's department, as well as hundreds of Wang Bin's horses, marched north. It wasn't long before the roar of horses' hooves and shouts of killing could be heard in front of the front. Within a few sticks of incense, a sergeant rode a horse to report: "The front army has defeated the enemy army and is heading north to Qinglong Nunnery!" ”

"Continue north and capture the Wenchang Bridge!" Qu Nengdao.

"Order!"

Qu Neng and the others rode north, and arrived at Qinglong Nunnery after a while.

The cavalry scouts had already arrived first, and the gate of the nunnery was wide open, and the cavalry rode straight in. They just wanted to go in and see if there were any enemy ambushes inside.

The north wind blows in winter on this side of Huguang, and at this time there is a cold north wind blowing in the air. In the wind, there was the noise of the village not far away, the barking of dogs, and the faint sound of chickens. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves over there, there were few horsemen who rushed to the village, probably to spy on whether there were ambushes.

Qu Neng watched the situation by the river near Qinglong'an, waiting for the forward to seize the Wenchang Bridge. There were wounded cavalry soldiers in Wang Bin's army, and Qu Neng sent someone to bring them up. Qu Neng inquired about the enemy they saw along the way, so he had a clearer understanding of the nearby terrain and the general deployment of the officers and troops.

He immediately ordered the troops who had crossed the river from the south to attack to the southeast; In order to open the gap in the mountainous area of the western section of the official army's defense line! At the same time, three messengers were sent to the south to find the cavalry general Ping'an, and informed Ping'an to send troops to break through from the west!

After a long time, the Wenchang Bridge was attacked by Qu Neng's army from east to west, and the defenders were completely defeated.

When Qu Neng rode to the east bank of the Wenchang Bridge, he saw that the bridge was full of corpses and debris, and some enemy wounded soldiers were crying out in despair. Qu Neng's army was marching in a column of infantry and cavalry, quickly passing the Wenchang Bridge. On the flat open land of the east bank, there are more and more troops!

He glanced at the scene near the Wenchang Bridge a few times, then turned his horse's head to face the east, looking at the terrain in the distance.

To the east, there is a wide valley. Some chaotic officers and soldiers were fleeing on that valley, and the cavalry of Qu Neng's army after crossing the river had already caught up!

The big mountain on the north side of the valley is called Quarry Mountain, which is next to the Huangbei River; There is also a great mountain to the south, but I don't know what it is called.

This is already located north of the first line of defense of the official army, on the back of the western section of the enemy's defense line! However, because of the barrier between the two mountains in the north and south, the only road that can actually break through the entire line of the enemy's first line of defense is the valley in front of Qu Neng! Such a relatively narrow terrain is easy to be blocked by enemy reinforcements.

As soon as time ran out of time, the official reinforcements blocked the valley, and the defense line was closed again!

At this time, the soldiers who had just trotted over had not rested much, and the whole army of Qu Neng's army had walked a lot of mountain roads before this, and the soldiers were relatively tired; If you rush to the east at this time, the formation will inevitably be confused, and there is a danger of being counterattacked by the main force of the official army.

Qu Neng weighed it for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Order, all the cavalry after crossing the river will advance to the east!" The eastern coast of the provinces, running in columns, tore open the gap of the enemy army to the east at any cost! The Chinese army marched forward with drumming. ”

"Order!"

Between the valleys, the Quneng forward cavalry took the lead in running into the distance, and the infantry marched forward in a column. The sound of horses' hooves and huge footsteps resounded through the mountains, and the dust was billowing and the columns of soldiers and horses were surging, and from a distance they looked like a turbid torrent......

The front army marched two or three miles, and sure enough, they met a group of officers and cavalry. The horse team moved relatively quickly, and the officer cavalry arrived at the battlefield first! Now that the officers and troops have discovered the gap, their infantry must be moving to this side.

The two soldiers and horses in the east didn't talk any nonsense, and they went straight to work!

The scene was very chaotic, it was literally a scuffle. The vanguard of the Han army rushed to the easternmost part of the battlefield; The official army horse team rushed and rushed into the infantry column of the Han King's army in front.

The infantry of the Qu Neng Division of the Han Dynasty army advanced in columns, and the team in front suddenly encountered a cavalry charge, and they could not defend themselves at all. The infantry army didn't have time to change formation, and they were rushed to pieces in an instant!

Some of the rebellious soldiers of the Han Dynasty had long forgotten what they had been doing during the drill, and after being scattered in battle, they ran around and scattered; There were also some soldiers who formed formations on the spot, forming circles of different sizes. The angry military general shouted and scolded in Sichuanese, "It's a few hammers that are running!" ”

The infantry column that had just come up from the west had no chance to form a formation, and in the roar of the generals, the soldiers rushed forward with shouts and curses. The column encountered a rout that was running around, and the two sides avoided crowding, and after a while several columns ran out of order on their own.

In the face of the surging infantry, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers quickly reduced their speed of killing. Several horsemen sat on their horses and were about to turn around on the spot, when they were greeted by the infantry on all sides with various weapons, and his back and abdomen were pierced by spears and blood flew straight away, and he fell and dismounted with screams.

Another officer cavalryman waved his long-handled knife on the right side, but on the left side was two foot soldiers who grabbed his armor and pulled it down violently! A moment later, the knight let out a screaming scream, and stabbed all sorts of knives and guns into the ground without a single move.

At this time, the Han King army and horse team in front turned around and recoiled back, and the official army horse team was also divided into chaos. Moments later, many of the officers and cavalry fled on horseback to the valley open on both sides.

The cavalry of the Qu Neng Army in front was also chaotic, chasing and killing the enemy on all sides. A knight of the Han Dynasty Army, carrying a cherry spear, finally caught up with a horseman, and stabbed forward with a shot; The enemy cavalry dismounted with a scream, wounded on his back and not dead, but soon the unstoppable hooves of the horse fell on him. "Ahh The screams were terrifying.

"Da ......" A rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded in the west, and a military general held a command flag and kept shouting: "Governor Qu Du order, the rebels will stay out of the north and south!" The back foot rider continues eastward! Governor Qu Du ordered ......"
