The 5,000 cavalry led by Wang Jiayin is the essence of his bandits, and 3,000 of the 5,000 cavalry are former border troops, and their combat effectiveness will naturally not be very bad.

Another 2,000 people have been following Wang Jiayin since the first year of Chongzhen to fight for the cause of thieves, and they have been tempered into steel after the tempering of war, and they also have a certain combat effectiveness of real thieves.

In this way, Wang Jiayin took his elite 5,000 cavalry, plus 5,000 foot soldiers who ran tricks, and ran along the official road in the direction of Qingjian.

At the same time, Liu Renyu was leading 700 cavalry under his command along the official road and went straight to Yan'an.

When there were still 5 miles away from Yan'an, Liu Renyu considered that the speed of the baggage carriage was too slow and it was not safe to engage the battle, so he ordered his cavalry to attack first, and after the baggage carriage was broken, he sent Liu Renjie and other scouts to explore the terrain and the enemy's situation, so that he could choose the battlefield.

Liu Renjie received the order, so he took He Yaozong, Sun Wuxian and other capable men to investigate the enemy situation and terrain.

After about a quarter of an hour, Liu Renjie came back with his knights to restore his life.

"Renjie, how far is the enemy army from us, there is a suitable terrain in front of us to attack the crowd."

"My lord, most of the enemy army is still 3 miles away from our army. In front of 1 mile, there is a place, similar to a line of sky, the road is narrow, and the mountains on both sides of the road are very high, which is suitable for outnumbering the crowd. ”

"Okay, wait and follow me to that line of heaven."

After Liu Renyu gave the order, he galloped forward, and all his subordinates rode their horses to follow.

After Liu Renyu ran for a mile, he saw the first line of heaven that Liu Renjie said.

To say that this nature is also a miraculous workmanship, the official road from Yan'an to Qingjian is generally wide, and most of the low hills on both sides of the road are here, but when you get here, the road is suddenly narrowed, and there are two low mountains about 100 zhang high on both sides of the road.

In these two mountains, the mountains in other places are relatively gentle, but the mountains on both sides of the road are like knives, and the cliffs are steep. These two steep mountain walls clamp the main road, forming a first-line terrain with a distance of nearly 200 meters.

Liu Renyu looked at this terrain, and Ma Shan felt that this terrain was very suitable for outnumbering the crowd, and it could also be an ambush, so he began to arrange tactics for his subordinates.

"Gentlemen, if you think about it, Wang Jiayin already knows that our army is small, and he will inevitably despise us. Now he has come with his troops. The terrain here is narrow, even if the enemy army has many troops, it is in vain to carry out it, and our army can avoid the disadvantage of few people by engaging with it.

Engaged in battle with the same forces, our army has been in practice for a long time, and it is expected that the thieves will not be able to resist, and if they retreat slightly, our army should attack with all its might, so that its position will be greatly disorganized, and when the time comes, the enemy army will inevitably collapse, and our army can take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill. After the enemy retreats, we can regroup when we reach the open area, but we can't let this scene appear, so when there is a glimmer of heaven, we have to join forces in one place, and we can just catch Wang Jiayin and chase him. ”

When Liu Renyu was engaged in the enemy's strategy, his subordinates all nodded their heads again and again.

Moreover, the soldiers of Jingbian Fort did not know Wang Jiayin, but Liu Renyu considered that his men and horses were going to fight Wang Jiayin, so it was not okay not to recognize Wang Jiayin.

So Liu Renyu asked Man Tianxing to describe Wang Jiayin's appearance, and then he asked his soldiers who were good at painting to draw Wang Jiayin's appearance according to Man Tianxing's description.

Liu Renyu took the portrait of Wang Jiayin painted by the soldiers and asked if the painting of Mantianxing was correct, and if it was not right, he would revise it again, and so many times he got a realistic portrait of Wang Jiayin. Liu Renyu ordered all the officers and soldiers under his command to look at this painting, so in the end, the soldiers of Jingbian Fort roughly knew what Wang Jiayin looked like.

After Liu Renyu finished talking about the combat strategy, he paused for a moment and let everyone digest their tactics first.

After a while, Liu Renyu looked solemn and said loudly: "Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Renjie, Ma Wenshan, where is Wang Zuohang?" ”

"The lowly (small) ones are here."

"When our army is engaged with the thieves, I order you to join me and fight the thieves head-on. Can you hear clearly? ”

"Yes, my lord, the lowly (small) ones are clear." Yang Desheng and others responded loudly.

"Very good. Where is Wang Xuewu? ”

"The little ones are here." Wang Xuewu responded.

"Order your men and horses to immediately take off their armor and run to the top of the mountain lightly, and when our army and the enemy are engaged in battle, your men and horses will throw 10,000 enemies to block the enemy's rear troops, so that the enemy army will not be able to increase its strength in time. Is it audible? ”

"Yes, my lord, the little ones are clear."

"Okay, save time, you can take someone with you."

"Yes, adults, the little ones will take people there."

When Wang Xuewu received the order, he immediately ordered his firecrackers to take off three layers of heavy armor, wear only cotton underwear, hold 10,000 enemies, and climb towards the top of the mountain on both sides of the road.

It is said that the two mountains on both sides of the road, that is, the side facing the road, are steeper, and the rest of the places have a relatively gentle slope, and it is not very difficult for Wang Xuewu's people to climb the mountain.

And just as Wang Xuewu's troops were still climbing the mountain with a snort, Wang Jiayin's cavalry had already rushed to the opposite side of Liu Renyu's troops.

However, it was said that Wang Jiayin led his 5,000 cavalry to the front line of the sky, and found that a team of officers and soldiers dressed in white was opposite, and they had already lined up their military formations, looking like they were about to fight at any time.

He looked at the terrain in front of the officers and troops, and found that there was a line of sky ahead, the road was narrow, and the mountain walls on both sides were steep, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Jiaxiang, the officers and soldiers are waiting for us in a formation on the opposite side of this dangerous terrain, just afraid that they have a conspiracy, and you will take someone to the mountains to investigate and see if the officers and soldiers have set up an ambush?"

"Yes, my lord." Wang Jiaxiang received the order, so he took more than 100 of his subordinates, dismounted and walked, and searched all the way to the mountain.

Liu Renyu waited for a long time with his men, but found that Wang Jiayin on the opposite side was cautious and refused to cross the line of heaven to come to engage in the battle, and also sent people to the mountains to investigate the situation, of course he was extremely worried.

"Wang Jiayin's guy refuses to come, what can I do?" Liu Renyu looked around and sighed.

"My lord, you can say some bad things to provoke Wang Jiayin." The optimistic Sun Wuxi, who has a lot of ghost ideas, suggested.

"Okay, you've got an idea, so you'll talk about it." Liu Renyu ordered.

"Your Excellency, look good!" Sun Wuxian shook his head in a chic manner, rode his horse out of his own formation, came to the entrance of the first line of heaven, cleared his throat, and then said loudly: "Wang Jiayin, the old thief opposite, you came with tens of thousands of people, and even a few hundred people on our side didn't dare to fight, I think you still don't call the king, just call the king eight, a big turtle with a shrunken head." And the clothes you are wearing now should also be changed, I think it is better to change into the clothes of the old lady, brothers, don't you say? ”

Sun Wuxian said as he turned his head and winked at his side.

Seeing this, Liu Renyu hurriedly shouted: "Sons, it's a good joke for Wang Jiayin." ”

"Okay."

When the soldiers of Jingbian Fort received the order, they whistled and burst into a strange burst of laughter.

"Wang Jiayin is a big bastard, ah, not an old lady, oops, it's not right, it's a bastard old girl."

Every soldier in Jingbian Fort shouted this sentence loudly.

The shouts of hundreds of people from the official army reached the thieves, and they immediately angered the thieves under Wang Jiayin.

"What the fuck are you talking about? Donkey day, let's tear your mouths later. ”

"Donkey Day dares to scold our king, and I will kill you later."

Wang Jiayin's thieves scolded the officials and soldiers endlessly, and Wang Jiayin himself was angry and red-faced, he was furious, and wanted to take people to kill him immediately, but he felt that he was a person who was a king, and he couldn't take risks.

So Wang Jiayin could only stand in place, not moving, not moving, very depressed.

Just when Wang Jiayin wanted to move but couldn't move, and was embarrassed, one of his generals, Yizhangqing, seemed to realize the dilemma of his own king.

So Yizhang Qing rode his horse and galloped in front of Wang Jiayin, and said through gritted teeth: "King, the officers and soldiers on the other side are too rude, and the small ones are willing to bring their own soldiers and horses to teach them a lesson." ”

"Okay, Yizhangqing, you take 2,000 people to be the pioneer, and I will bring 3,000 people to follow up, and I will definitely kill these rude officers and soldiers today. You are very good, and when this battle is over, I will have a great reward. ”

"Yes, big king, the little ones will go." Yizhangqing heard that there was a heavy reward after this battle, so he naturally rushed to lead people straight to Liu Renyu's officers and soldiers.

It is said that Wang Jiayin was scolded by the officials and soldiers like this, and he did not immediately kill people because he was emotional, of course, because he was very cautious, this is the occupational disease of the leader of the thieves, but he is also a person with some anger, otherwise how could he rebel.

He was scolded by the soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army for a while, of course, he hated to take people to kill him immediately, but he was afraid that there would be an ambush in the official army, and now he was willing to be the vanguard, so even if the official army had an ambush, it would be an ambush, and he would follow up later, so there was no need to worry.

In this way, when Yizhang Qing led people to gallop to the front line of the sky, Wang Jiayin watched from behind first, and waited later.

This Zhang Qing led his cavalry, and when he first set off, he could still have more than 20 horses in parallel, but after entering the first line of sky, he could only ride 8 horses in parallel.

Liu Renyu saw that Wang Jiayin refused to lead the troops to attack in person, and only sent a small minion, so he waited first to see if Wang Jiayin would follow up immediately.

But he waited for a long time, and found that the thieves of Yizhang Qingsuo were about to walk out of the first line of the sky, Wang Jiayin still didn't move, he felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he had no choice but to pull out the knife in his waist, looked around and said: "Let's go, sons, follow me, the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road." Whoever the fuck dares to retreat, or flee from the battle, I will kill them, do you hear clearly? ”

"My lord, we will hear it clearly, and we will fight hard to kill the enemy."

The soldiers replied loudly.

"Very good, then you can rush with me, let's go, sons, kill the enemy."

Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu, Ma Wenshan, Liu Renjie, Wang Zuohang and others saw Liu Renyu so fierce and rushed to the front, one was extremely excited, and the other was worried about his safety, so they hurriedly rushed forward with their respective subordinates.

Soon, the Jingbian Fort army met with the cavalry under Yi Zhangqing and killed in one place.

However, he said that this Zhang Qing listened to the information brought back by Wang Jiaxiang, and thought that Liu Renyu's soldiers were all pus pinched in mud, so he asked Wang Jiayin to be a pioneer.

Yizhang Qing thought that this battle would be a one-sided massacre of the officials and troops by his people. Kill.

But when the two armies really fought, Yizhangqing found that the combat power of the official army was far stronger than he imagined.

I saw that the officers and soldiers who rushed in front were like tigers descending from the mountain, using wooden sticks, iron bones, and single knives, frantically slashing and killing their subordinates, but their subordinates had almost no power to fight back.

Even if a few thieves can find an opportunity to take a spear, or cut with a single knife, or stab the officers and soldiers, they will not be able to hurt the officers and soldiers at all because the armor of the officers and soldiers is too thick.

As a result, the officers and soldiers were like peeling fruit peels, killing the generals layer by layer, killing countless thieves off their horses, and their corpses lying on the ground.

Seeing such a scene, Yizhang Qing was stunned and said to himself: "Damn, the combat strength of the official army is like this, our army is not an opponent, Wang Jiaxiang is misleading me!" ”
