Xu Dingguo surrendered to the Qing court and assassinated Gao Jie, and the entire Gao Jie department was equivalent to forming a great enmity with the Qing court.

Wang Yan looked at the crowd in the camp tent, and hated Xu Dingguo and the Qing court he had voted for, and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart. "Why don't you instigate the rest of Gao Jie to take advantage of the situation to cross the Yellow River, attack Haoge in Hebei, and sweep the land of Beizhili?"

Wang Yancai fled from Hebei to Henan, and knew well the defense of the Qing court in Beizhili and along the Yellow River, and knew the emptiness of the Qing court today.

The Qing army is now fighting fiercely with Dashun, the main force is in the west, and the land of Hebei is empty, it is entirely possible for them to defeat Haoge! And even if they can't defeat Haoge, they can clean up the whole of Henan!

At this time, Wang Yan heard Li Chengdong's words and wanted to ask the vanguard to hunt down Xu Dingguo, so he came out and said: "The last general has a thousand cavalry troops, and he is willing to be the vanguard and avenge Xingpingbo!" ”

There is a shortage of horses in the south, and there are only 9,000 horses in the Gao Jie Department, most of which are mules and horses, and there are only more than 3,000 cavalry available.

However, there are 10,000 people under Xu Dingguo's command, and Wang Yan's 1,000 cavalry still seems a little thin. "Wang Qianhu, you will set off quickly, and our army will arrive later."

"Whoa!" Wang Yan and the three thousands of households, clasped their fists in response, and immediately turned around and walked out of the handsome tent.

Wang Yan returned to the camp, Liu Shun, Wang Wei and others were already waiting, and he immediately ordered the people and horses of the Zhongyi Battalion to be gathered.

A moment later, a thousand cavalry were assembled outside the camp, and Wang Yan rode his war horse and patrolled in front of the army, and the aura of slaughter spread.

"Xu Dingguo betrayed the Lord for glory and killed Xingpingbo! Abandoning Huaxia and throwing himself into Yidi, heaven is intolerable! This battle is about justice! Our food today is given by Xingpingbo, and the clothes on our bodies are given by Xingpingbo. If you don't repay the favor, so do the beasts! You are willing to work with me to avenge Xingpingbo! ”

"I am willing to follow the general and take revenge!"

Regarding Gao Jie's death, the soldiers of the Zhongyi Battalion did not have any special feelings at first, and there were even many people who didn't know who Gao Jie was.

But at this time, everyone listened to Wang Yan's words, and the feeling was suddenly different, the Zhongyi Battalion fled from Beizhili all the way to Henan, just two days later, and Gao Jie, who gave them food, grass and robes, was killed, which is simply a hatred that is not shared with the sky.

For a time, the soldiers of the Loyal Battalion had a high fighting spirit, which was for their food and clothing!

Wang Yan saw that his morale had been mobilized by him, and he was very satisfied, and said to Liu Shun, Wang Wei and others beside him: "This battle is the first battle since we formed an army, and you must be united with me to play the prestige of the loyal and righteous battalion." ”

During the battle of Qingzhou, although Wang Yan faced tens of thousands of Qing soldiers, after all, it was a city defense not a field battle, and later it was a field battle, but he was mostly chased by the Qing soldiers, and he has only commanded the battle to eliminate some small groups of Qing soldiers so far, and this time he has to chase nearly 10,000 enemy troops to fight, and he really has no experience.

"Rest assured!"

"Don't worry, Childe!"

"We will definitely follow the general to fight to the death!"

Liu Shun and others immediately expressed their positions one by one.

The morale of the Zhongyi battalion was available, and the brothers were united, Wang Yan's heart was already settled, and he immediately drew his sword, pointed his sword to the north, and said: "Get on the horse!" Let's go! ”

There was a loud noise, and a thousand knights mounted their horses at the same time, and as Wang Yan rushed north, the place where the army passed was shocked by the dust, and the other three thousand cavalry led by Qianhu also rushed out of the camp.

Suizhou is more than 200 miles away from the Yellow River, and the army marches extremely fast, and the river can be crossed in three days. Xu Dingguo abandoned the city and led his troops to run wildly, although Hauge refused to send troops, but he promised to arrange boats to meet him by the river, so as long as he could reach the river safely, it was considered safe.

In the middle of the night, Xu Dingguo's army passed through Qixian County, and it was already sixty miles away from Suizhou.

At that time, the Mongolian cavalry could reach more than 200 miles a day, and he Xu Dingguo's infantry army could walk 60 miles a day, such a speed, he was proud enough, but he was not happy at all.

It's not because he's still running for his life at this time, it's because things are abnormal! The cavalry of Gao Jie's department did not catch up, and there was not even a trace of the scouts, which really puzzled him.

Could it be that after Gao Jie's death, the army has no leader, which causes chaos, which is obviously impossible, Gao Jie's army, no matter who wants to take over Gao Jie's position, the first thing to do is to raise troops for revenge, otherwise how to serve the public.

Even if one or two generals didn't want to raise troops, the others would come and fight alone, but now there is no movement at all, which is really weird.

The army had walked sixty miles and had reached its limit, so Xu Dingguo asked the team to stop, and then called spies and scattered within ten miles to guard against the sneak attack of Gao Jie's troops.

With the speed of cavalry, Wang Yan and others could have caught up with Xu Dingguo a long time ago, but at this time, his army was still strong, and the strong attack would inevitably cause great casualties, so Wang Yan discussed with the other three thousand households, and one team went around to the front of Xu Dingguo's army, and the rest fell behind him, and after his army was tired, it was broken in one fell swoop.

After Xu Ding sent the spies, he felt a little calm, so he sat down to rest, while the soldiers of Xu Bu dragged their tired bodies and began to set up camp, but the wall of the village had not yet been erected, and the spies sent had already returned.

"Report! Checkmate! Five miles behind, a large force of cavalry is coming! Xu Jun's scouts galloped towards the camp, turned over and dismounted at the gate of the village that had not yet been erected, and then galloped in front of Xu Dingguo, kneeling on one knee.

"Sure enough, it's still here!" Xu Dingguo's face sank, and he stood up suddenly, and said to his side. "Pass the order, the army is arrayed, ready to fight!"

On the plain, it is not easy to hide soldiers, as long as the opponent's main general is cautious and sends more scouts, it is difficult for cavalry to sneak attack, so Wang Yan's advantage against Xu Jun is that Xu Jun is already a tired division, and they have strong mobility and speed, as well as strong soldiers and horses.

For the cavalry of the Gao Jie Department who was about to be killed, Xu Dingguo couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart. The other party's intentions are sinister, and his army has been marching for a day, and he is already exhausted, and once he engages, it will inevitably be more auspicious.

Xu Dingguo knew this, but he still decided to fight the upcoming cavalry, because this army could no longer run, and on the plain, it was impossible for them to outrun the cavalry.

Xu Dingguo himself could flee north with his guards and henchmen, but the army was lost on the south bank, so what was the use of him fleeing to the north?

surrendered to the Qing court, Xu Dingguo pursued wealth and glory, but if there were no soldiers in his hands, would the Qing court still give him high-ranking officials? This is obviously impossible!

At this time, whether Xu Dingguo wanted to or not, he had to fight with the chasing cavalry, as long as he defeated them, Xu Dingguo could lead his subordinates to retreat north calmly.

On the vast plain, Xu Dingguo's 10,000 troops set up battle formations, hunting with banners, swords and guns, and simple horse stakes were placed in front of the army, and the soldiers were nervously waiting for the arrival of the cavalry with spears in their hands.

The Xu army lined up in battle, and after a while, there was a tremor in the earth, which was unique to the large force of cavalry, and it was terrifying.

The dust in the sky came from the sky, Wang Yan and others led the cavalry to finally appear in front of Xu Jun, and the cavalry did not stop, but rushed directly towards the Xu army's array.

"Circle! Defense! Seeing this, Xu Dingguo's face was gloomy, and he roared loudly.

Nearly 10,000 troops immediately moved, with swords and shields outside, spears behind, bows and arrows and birds in the middle.

The cavalry came head-on, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed to five hundred paces away, and the soldiers of Xu immediately moved, and between the swords, shields and spears, a group of archers and bird commanders suddenly poured out.

"Archers! Put! ”

"Bird in command! Put! ”

The cavalry charged quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two hundred steps in front of the battle, General Xu Jun immediately shouted bitterly.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~"

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

The rain of arrows and barrage in the sky suddenly shot towards the rushing cavalry, but at the moment when General Xu Jun gave the order, the cavalry also made changes.

"The army turns!"

Wang Yan rode a war horse, one horse took the lead, and the three thousand cavalry behind him followed closely behind, and at the moment when he was about to enter the range of the Xu army, as soon as he pulled the reins, he turned the horse's head, and the entire cavalry was divided into two groups, bypassing the rain of arrows and lead bullets that attacked from the front.

"Shoot the arrows!"

This time, it was Wang Yan's cavalry who began to bend their bows and arrows in the gallop, throwing a rain of arrows towards the Xu army's array.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~"

A rain of arrows came from the sky, which immediately caused a great chaos in the Xu army.

The cavalry was too fast, and just now the archers and birds were all led to the front, and there was no time to retreat, and there was no time to react again.

Wang Yan led the cavalry and did not forcibly charge into battle, but kept throwing arrows around the Xu army's large array, creating chaos for it.

Wang Yan and the other two thousand generals, each led his men and horses, turned over and attacked the Xu army's array, Xu Dingguo sent bows and arrows to meet them head-on, they bypassed the front, if there were no bows and arrows and birds to meet them head-on, they would directly attack.

Xu Dingguo Kong has an army of 10,000 people, but he can't do it at all, and he can only be led by the cavalry and exhausted!

This style of play is completely the tactics of nomadic cavalry.

When Wang Yan was in Shandong, he watched a rebel army of more than 4,000 people form a formation in the field, and finally was ridden to death by 1,500 people inlaid with yellow spirits.

If you want to fight hard, the cavalry will not fight with you, you want to rest, the cavalry will rush over at any time to give you a rain of arrows, want to escape, the cavalry will cut and kill in the back, want to pursue, and can't keep up, and as long as you are in a mess, the cavalry will seize the opportunity to impact your big formation, as long as he is not in a hurry to win, it is really going to grind you to death, there is no discussion!

Sergeant Xu walked sixty miles a day, and he was already very tired, but at this time, he was attacked by the cavalry several times, and the formation was already chaotic, and Wang Yan knew that the time had come to break the enemy.
