The Battle of Qimei Mountain broke out on the 22nd day of the winter month, and then Xu Huizu was transferred; Two days later, on the 25th, Ping'an He Fujun moved to Lingbi.

As soon as Xu Huizu left, Ping An lacked cavalry. He was very passive at first, and wanted to persuade He Fu to retreat to the Huai River and move the battle line south again.

Because of Ho Fu's dissuasion, Ping An agreed to stay in Lingbi for the time being. He Fu was mainly worried that retreating again and again would make the court even more dissatisfied; I want to hold on to Lingbi for a while, and wait for the legendary "reinforcements from various provinces" to arrive, and then set up a decisive battle with Yan Shi!

…… On the morning of the 27th of the winter month, Ping An heard that the grain road had been attacked and disturbed, and immediately decided to lead the army south to open the grain road.

He was in favor of staying in Lingbi to see the situation, the biggest reason was that he had just learned that a large amount of money and food had been transferred, and he would soon be able to arrive in Lingbi. As long as there is no shortage of food and salary in the army, it is okay to stick to it and wait for the opportunity.

Ping'an led tens of thousands of horses out of Lingbi, and he still cursed and scolded himself in the team, and the generals did not dare to come up and touch the mold.

Ping'an's appearance and performance are very rough and bold, and he does things neatly and neatly, often giving people a sense of unthinking, but he is quick to calculate things in his heart...... After all, fighting a war is not a competition, if you don't have a brain, how can you fight?

While scolding, he calculated: On the 22nd, the Yan division was defeated, and just a few days later, the main camp of the enemy army was still on the north bank of Suishui. At this time, King Yan at most transferred some cavalry to attack him, and Lao Tzu was not afraid of him at all.

In the afternoon, sure enough, a scout came to report that the Yan Division cavalry was coming from the west!

Ping An looked around and saw that the army was on a flat dry land, and immediately scolded again, and ordered: "Line up on the spot, and prepare for battle!" ”

In a short time, the drums and trumpets in the army sounded in unison, and tens of thousands of foot cavalry were mainly infantry, arranging phalanxes, and the phalanx groups formed a long shape along the road.

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance became more and more distinct, and the figures on the horizon rose and fell on the horse's back, as turbulent as the surface of the water in the wind and waves. Ping An was very surprised to see this, he didn't come so much and so quickly when the Yanshi cavalry came!

So Ping'an personally led the horse team to gather in the flank and rear, preparing to wait for the Yan division to attack first, and then lead the few cavalry to make a preemptive attack! He also took a halberd in his hand, so that he could reach farther, and wanted to find an opportunity to directly kill King Yan himself.

The cavalry came very quickly, and the shouts from the west shook the sky, and a large number of iron horsemen overflowed over the dry fields, crops, wastelands, and small mounds. The straw piled up in the distance, the village houses were on fire, and the smoke billowed on the field, which made the Yan cavalry even more imposing.

The officers and soldiers also shouted loudly, the shouts and curses of the generals could be heard everywhere, and the spears of the infantry soldiers in front of the officers and soldiers had been flattened. The front two rows were all armoured spear and shield soldiers, which were not only protected from the grazing of the cavalry bows, but also against the impact of the iron cavalry.

In a short time, the enemy advance rushed in, bows and arrows flew in the air, and the fire guns "bang-bang......" sounded directly, and the whole west side of the main road was covered with dust and gunsmoke, and there was a clamor and noise.

Ping'an sat on the horse and did not move, he only stared at the square "Fengtian Jingnan" banner that he had seen many times, and saw it disappearing in the smoke of gunpowder. King Yan himself should have come in person, and King Yan rarely showed up for the wars.

Ping An scolded in public: "If you kill Yan and rebel, I don't want food!" ”

King Yan didn't have any new tricks, and soon he made a detour to the south, running farther and farther, and the banner was no longer visible...... At this time, the officers and troops were forced to line up in a long square formation on the main road, which was not deep enough, but extremely wide horizontally; King Yan's old trick is a roundabout back attack, and this time he has to run a long way.

The front of the official army deployed a dense array of guns and shields, and it was difficult for the cavalry to break through, and King Yan was also very persistent in going around his back. After a long time, a group of enemy horsemen actually came around to the east side of the main road!

Seeing this, Ping An ordered: "Someone, go and tell Chen Hui on the left wing, looking for an opportunity to attack Yan Yi from the south." The horse team set off, follow me! ”

He then lifted his halberd lightly, and led his cavalry southward. The Yanshi horse team retreated to the east for a while, and then rushed to Ping'an.

"Papapa......" As soon as the strings sounded in front of him, Ping'an could clearly see the running horses and the Yan cavalry with their bows drawn. He didn't take the heavy iron shield and axe today, so he played a trick, turned the halberd in front of him lightly, and threw it like a spinning top, blocking the few arrows that shot in front of him, and "clanging" and flying out.

In an instant, the two armies met, the surrounding shouts and killings were loud, the sound of metal knocking sounded, and the horses rushed left and right safely, and where the halberd went, the enemy soldiers fell many people. The cavalry ran briskly, and the formation was sparse, and Ping An was unstoppable in the cavalry battle.

When the people called the horses neighing, many Yanshi cavalry actually retreated, hid and walked safely, and only took the bow to shoot from a distance.

But the horsemen under Ping'an's command were obviously not as brave as him, and after he had rushed for a while, he found that there were many empty horses with no people on horseback, running with the cavalry.

Ping'an's armor had already been hit by a few arrows, and the strength penetrated the armor, so he had to lead the army to flee to the north.

At this moment, there was chaos in the center of the large array. Ping'an stretched out his neck and looked around, and finally saw King Yan himself in the horse team, swinging his sword and leading the army to break through two phalanxes in a row.

Seeing this, the Yan Division's horsemen on the west side of the road rushed to the front. Ping An saw that the middle of the large array was about to be penetrated, but there was nothing to be done, when an enemy general led the cavalry to the north and rushed towards the north.

Ping An hurriedly turned his horse's head, beckoned to continue running north, and led the horse team around the back of the large formation. The infantry bows at the rear of the infantry array fired flat and flanked the pursuing soldiers of the Yan Division, and this group of enemy soldiers and horses ran to the north for a while, and the arrows fell many times. So Ping An turned around, and then turned back and lifted the halberd to kill back!

Several phalanx infantry troops in the center of the large array had been defeated, and the Yan Division horse teams on the east and west sides were chopping back and forth. The Heian Army has been cut into two sections, north and south.

At this moment, there was a loud sound of footsteps ......in the south, and Ping An saw several infantry columns running forward, counterattacking the enemy cavalry in the middle!

So Ping'an ordered the three thousand corps on the northern flank to attack and respond, and then he led the cavalry to charge and kill, and flanked the enemy soldiers in the center of the large array.

Cavalry bows and arrows flew in, and the shields of the infantry columns clanged and their shoulder armor clanged, and the troops braved the onslaught of arrows. Ping'an took the lead and killed the infantry from behind, killing several people in a row, and the cavalry jumped on their horses and rushed to kill bravely.

The Yan division finally retreated, and Ping An ordered the infantry to stop the pursuit and fill the vacancy on the spot...... I can't catch up anyway!

The morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and the troops shouted in unison, and the momentum was magnificent and the army was magnificent.

But the shouting stopped for a while, and the screams and neighing of horses on all sides were still incessant, and the corpses and wounded soldiers who did not die were lying on the ground, and weapons and remnants of flags were mixed in the middle, and it was a mess. Not far away, a horse neighed and tried to get up, but it still collapsed in a pool of blood.

Ping'an patted the horse through the phalanx, looking at the large number of people and horses far to the west, and Yan Shi was still watching from a distance.

Not long after, a cavalry from the north sent a military report, and it was safe to take a look: the general had already moved the camp and led the main force south to reinforce General Ping. He Fu Shousu.

Peace and joy, with Ho Fu to answer, they will be able to get close to the position of the food and baggage tonight.

Unexpectedly, after a while, another military report was delivered...... He Fu's army was ambushed and routed by King Gaoyang and rushed back to the Lingbi camp!

Ping'an's whole big face was red! He didn't know that the Yan Division's vanguard was Zhu Gaoxu, no wonder King Yan would lead a large number of cavalry to rush south, it must be that Zhu Gaoxu had already figured out and guessed the intentions of the official army......

Zhu Gaoxu is very cunning! When he was in Beijing, why didn't the emperor cut him down?

Some people in Jingshi rumored that King Gaoyang was infinitely powerful and brave, and after many contacts with Ping An, he was not impressed by Zhu Gaoxu's bravery, but he felt that person was a slippery head.

Ping'an complained with a stomach, and said in his heart: Rao is like this, Gao Xu is at most 10,000 people, how did he Fu, how was the tens of thousands of troops defeated?

The sun was already hanging in the western sky, facing the dazzling sunset, and the men and horses of King Yan gradually retreated.

At this time, several generals came over one after another and asked, "General Ping, the Yan division has retreated, should we continue to go south?" ”

"Bird South!" Ping'an scolded, "He Fu has no food in Lingbi, if I divide the troops and leave, he won't know how to die!" Command the troops to return to the Lingbi camp overnight! ”

"The last general will obey!"

Ping An hadn't laughed in days, and he really couldn't laugh. This battle is getting more and more aggrieved, and every time I wait to be beaten!

…… At this time, Qiu Fu led a group of horsemen and took the lead in approaching Zhu Gaoxu's camp.

"Congratulations, King Gaoyang defeated He Fu with a large number of outnumbered people, and he really won the three armies!" Qiu Fu laughed when he saw him.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said, "It's just luck." I have long said that where the army is going to pass, at least the nearby forests and villages should send people to take a look, and He Fu was negligent. When our cavalry suddenly rushed out, he didn't even have time to set up, so it's no wonder if he didn't collapse! ”

Qiu Fu said quietly: "That's because King Gaoyang went early, if he goes again temporarily, he will definitely be discovered by Qiu Fu's scouts." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "As soon as Ping An set off, I sent a letter to my father, and my father said that he was going to intercept Ping An soon!" I guessed that He Fu might have to go to the rescue, so I chose a place to set up an ambush......

originally thought it was useless, but just wanted to delay He Fujun and buy time for his father. Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and the world is always not what we expected, He Fu simply ran back in defeat. ”

"Hahaha......" Qiu Fu looked up and laughed.

Qiu Fu said again: "Ping An should return to Lingbi, King Gaoyang didn't want to ambush Ping An again?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said: "Peace is not He Fu, this person is very cunning, as slippery as a loach is not easy to catch." The only time I succeeded was in the battle of Suishui River. It was an encounter, and Ping An rushed to the battlefield and encountered heavy fog. I bargained. ”

He paused and said with a smile: "This time the situation is already unfavorable, we don't have to take risks, just play steadily." Otherwise, if Ping An seized the opportunity to bite back, wouldn't he be wronged? ”

So Zhu Gaoxu discussed with Qiu Fu, marched slowly, waited for the follow-up army to catch up, and surrounded the Lingbi official army together.
