Hundreds of thousands of officers and troops did not stop for a day, and many people and horses advanced northward one after another, and the main force had just passed through Hejian Province and was spreading to Xiong County.

The general Ping'an led the elite cavalry, the position was in the northernmost direction, and as the vanguard, he had approached the Baigou River.

On this day, the stocky and stout Ping'an rode a big brown horse, only a few horses, and ran to the river to look at the terrain. After a while, I saw a small team of horses running towards me.

The small group of horses coming from the south was unlikely to be an enemy soldier. Ping An watched for a while, and sure enough, he saw that they were officers and soldiers; And it's someone I know, who is the man in front of me who is not Qu Neng?

Qu Neng immediately clenched his fists and said, "General Ping! ”

"Qu Dudu!" Peace also returned to the military salute.

Qu Neng didn't say much, he caught up with the horse, then turned his head to look at the sparkling river, and after a while, he said, "Baigou River, there have been a lot of battles in this place." ”

Ping'an smiled: "I haven't been able to learn to be rich and five cars, at least I know that the Song Dynasty and the Liao State have fought a big battle here!" ”

"That's right, the soldiers from the south of Dafan must pass through the Baigou River to fight Beiping." Qu Neng didn't have a smile on his face, many people said that he was too serious, and he said in a casual tone, "The current Baigou River is even more incredible." ”

Ping'an still smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Then you have to ask Qu Dudu, what is the big deal?" ”

Qu Neng stretched out his hand, pointed upstream, and said: "During the Hongwu period, the Yongding River was rerouted, so the Baigou River can have such a large amount of water. The most important thing is that from the East China Sea, now even sea ships can go. ”

Ping'an's smile gradually retracted, listening to Qu Neng's words, it was obvious that he was not here for entertainment today. Ping'an answered: "Then as long as we occupy this river, can't the grain and grass be able to come by sea?" ”

"Exactly. But I'm afraid King Yan will think the same way. Qu Neng turned his head and said, "King Yan has 200,000 troops, I dare to guarantee that he will definitely march into Baigou River!" ”

Ping An Zhengse said: "Hearing that Governor Qu narrowly broke through Beiping City last year, I naturally believe that Governor Qu has insight. ”

Qu Neng looked relieved when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "General Ping is a striker, but he can ambush on the side of the Baigou River, and he will definitely be captured." ”

Ping An nodded, thoughtful.

Qu Neng said again: "General Ping can speak to the commander, first put the army in the rear to set up the formation, and hide the firearms such as Ma Dan in the array...... When the Yan army arrives, you will be defeated and run to the Chinese army. Yan Shi chased him to the big array of the handsome, let's put Ma Dan, enough for King Yan to drink a pot! ”

After hearing this, Ping An asked: "Qu Dudu is in the Chinese army, why don't you make a statement to the commander yourself?" ”

Qu Neng hesitated, made some trivial movements on his face with his palm, and said, "It's better to speak safely." ”

……

The upper reaches of the Baigou River are called Juma River. The Juma River flows eastward, and after turning south, the river is called Baigou River.

The army of King Yan was nearly 200,000 people, advancing from the northwest of Xiongxian County. To the Juma River, King Yan said to the civil and military forces around him: "The number of officials and soldiers is 600,000, the more people and horses, and the consumption of grain and straw is large, we must first occupy the Baigou River and transport the baggage by boat." ”

Then he ordered the army to cross south from the pontoon bridge and enter the west bank of the Baigou River.

The next day, King Yan ordered the vanguard to cross the Baigou River and advance from the east bank. The army followed the Baigou River and advanced southward in unison.

It didn't take long for the east bank to explore the horses and report that tens of thousands of cavalry of the official army were located in the east, ten miles away from the river, looking for an opportunity to flank the Yan division.

So King Yan ordered to erect a number of pontoon bridges on the river and led the cavalry to cross the river first. At this time, it was already afternoon, and there was a burst of artillery fire in front, and the forward scouts of the Yan army galloped back on horseback.

The scout general reported: "The front of the official army is safe, tens of thousands of cavalry are rushing in, and there are infantry battalions in the south!" ”

As soon as King Yan heard that the enemy's infantry battalion had begun to move, he immediately sniffed the fighters. At that moment, the cavalry forces were deployed, and the cavalry was divided into detours to flank the infantry battalion that was moving and the phalanx was turbulent.

As expected, in less than an hour, the infantry camp of the Ping'an Army was defeated, and the cavalry from the east also stopped attacking and rushed south to deal with the defeated infantry battalion.

Yan Shi took advantage of the victory to cover up the killing, and met the main force of the official army in the evening, and broke through the endless array in many ways.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a dense "boom boom boom" sound in front of ......! Most of the "Tuimadan" artillery buried in the ground roared together, and countless tiny iron bullets and stones hit the Yan cavalry's faces like raindrops......

The Yan army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Several other roads were also attacked by Thumadan, and the "swarm" rockets were already ready and waiting for them. The soldiers of the Yan army were sprayed by countless rockets, and the casualties of the arrows were not counted.

As the sun went down, it grew dark, and the battlefield became even more chaotic. King Yan ordered the cavalry to retreat, and he also turned around and ran north. Unexpectedly, on the road, he was attacked by several men on the side, and the war horses ran away in fright. King Yan rode for a while, and there were only three horsemen left around him.

When he looked back, he saw that there were fires flickering everywhere in the night, and he only felt that those fires were shining in his stomach, and he held back the fire in his belly!

…… Li Jinglong listened to Ping'an's "clever plan", and the first battle was fought with great joy and joy. That night, he followed Ping'an's advice, and in the early hours of the morning, Qu Neng and Ping'an led the cavalry around and made a detour to the north; As soon as the front was fired, he suddenly attacked the back of the Yan division and attacked the Yan army!

……

Zhu Gaoxu was still in Gu'an City, and yesterday's cannon sound came faintly from the end of the plain, and he guessed that it had already been done.

He paced anxiously on the tower, constantly looking southwest. But under the white sky, there was nothing, only a horizon.

There were few soldiers on the city wall of Gu'an, and the foot cavalry under Zhu Gaoxu was all on the street at the city gate. The armies were dressed in armor and lined up, not to defend the city, but to rush out to fight in the field at any time.

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to touch the picture in front of the plane, and then glanced outside the city. The direction from which the cannon fire came was the Baigou River.

He had a gut feeling that the battle had reached a critical juncture...... This is how warfare was in ancient times, the efficiency of preparation and deployment was very slow, it took a long time, and sometimes the confrontation could be calculated in years! However, once the big battle is in place, the outcome is very fast, usually only a few days.

Wasn't it the same last year in Beiping City? When King Yan returned with the main force, it only took one day to decide the winner at Zhengcunba.

Fate is often decided in one day.

At this moment, two horsemen came from the sky. When they got closer, Zhu Gaoxu saw clearly from the city tower that it was Chen Dazhui and the others.

The city gate was open, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to defend the city at all. ......The sound of horses' hooves sounded from below, and Chen Da Hammer and the others had rushed into Gu'an City.

After a short time, Chen Dazhui dragged the heavy armor and ran up, he knelt down on one knee in front of him, hugged his fists and said, "The last general is ordered to return." ”

"What did the Chinese army say?" Zhu Gaoxu got straight to the point, and reached out to lift Chen Dazhui up.

Chen Dazhui took a breath and said: "Yesterday, the general of the official army was safe, and he was ambushed near the Baigou River, and was defeated by the army led by King Yan, and the beheading was ......not counted."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he sighed in his heart: Can peace be defeated at one touch?

It's not that Zhu Gaoxu hasn't fought with Ping An. Not to mention that Ping An himself didn't have thirty or fifty hand-to-hand combat, so he didn't want to him at all; Even the elite iron cavalry under Ping'an is not inferior to the elite soldiers of the Yan army at all.

This military newspaper is really a bit watery, and I can only guess by the general situation...... Chen Da Hammer was sent by King Gaoyang to ask about the military situation, but Chen Da Hammer was not King Gao Yang after all. For the sake of morale, military newspapers on the battlefield will generally deliberately exaggerate their own advantages.

Chen Dazhui continued: "King Yan led the army to take advantage of the victory to cover up the killing, and rushed straight to the official army array. Although our army broke through the enemy's position in many places, but it was too late, and it was counterattacked by the officers and soldiers with a swarm of bees, and the two sides did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and the king of Yan temporarily withdrew. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's brows furrowed...... He had tasted the swarm of bees himself, and it was only useful when he was ready to approach; He had also heard that those who had to bury and scatter bombs in advance had no maneuver and a slow rate of fire, and the range was also very close!

The Yan army can be killed by these two weapons, isn't that everyone ready and waiting for the Yan army to rush?

Zhu Gaoxu had a strong feeling: King Yan fell for the plan to lure the enemy peacefully, and he didn't please him at all yesterday!

Chen Dazhui said again: "Now Ping'an and the others have gone around to the north of the Yanwang army array, and they are fighting. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the vast plain in front of him, and the sky was gray. The sound of "rumbling ......" was faintly heard, as if it were a muffled thunder in the clouds.

There was nothing to be seen on the plains, and it seemed very lonely. Even the people have long since run away, and the vast fertile fields that should have been planted with wheat are now overgrown with green grass.

Could it be that Li Jinglong suddenly found a master?

On this year's expedition, although Zhu Gaoxu was the first to come out, he was not a striker, and he stayed in Gu'an City for half a month...... I was a little lucky, but I was waiting to win anyway.

Now it seems that it is not as good as it seems.

King Gaoyang in history was feared by so many people, and he must have played a great role in the Battle of Jingyan and showed extraordinary talent.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly had an ominous premonition: Will it be because he didn't do a good job, but will he end up with King Yan and countless other people? If that happens, he's too bad!

"Herald!" Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and beckoned, "Wang Bin, Ji'er and all the other horse teams, go out of the city!" ”

"Order!"

Zhu Gaoxu lifted the red cloak behind his back and strode down the tower according to the handle of the knife. He took the reins from his soldiers, turned over and jumped on his horse, took the scabbard of the horse knife into his back, and took the cherry gun in his hand.

He looked back at the iron horsemen and the banners like clouds, and then raised the cherry gun and shouted, "Follow me, go!" ”

The army shouted in unison, which immediately filled the lonely and empty Gu'an City with momentum.

"Whew!" Zhu Gaoxu took the lead in kicking the horse, and countless horses' hooves began to move one after another. The iron hooves stepped on the brick floor of the street, and suddenly there was a loud "boom", as if it was about to collapse the city tower.

Countless cavalry rushed out of the city gates, surging to the west like a torrent of steel.
