Chapter 278: (Jiyang Battlefield)

What happened in Nanyang and Xiangyang Shangguan Yin Feng is not clear, but now the recovery of Jiyang is a big problem, just after sending Cheng Xizhao away the next day, the scouts in front came with news that a large number of Qi troops were marching towards Jiyang, and the leader was indeed Pingyi Wang Chengpingzhong, Shangguan Yin Feng is most concerned about now, where did Dongping Wang Chengqingzhi go?

"Lord Wang, there have been sporadic battles between our scouts and the scouts of the Qi army, and there are casualties on both sides, and now the army of Chengping is only twenty miles away from Jiyang, and it can be reached by marching in one day, is our army out of formation?"

Li Yanqing, who came with the support of the army, rushed to Jiyang around yesterday, because the wind and waves of the Yellow River made him come a day late, and the Shenwu artillery and musket team were also blocked on the other side of the Yellow River, and it would take another day to get to Jiyang.

And for the question of Cheng Qingzhi's whereabouts, Shangguan Yin Feng disagreed, now that Jinan has fallen, he Cheng Qingzhi will not dare to cross the Texas line no matter how much he can fight, but his Qi army's current grain and grass can not provide them with too much support, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and regular troops have to eat, and Cheng Pingzhong is the main army of nearly 100,000, 70,000 soldiers, together is 170,000 horses, grain and grass is a big problem, for Cheng Pingzhong, it is a good choice to urge Qingzhi to fight a decisive battle with Shangguan Yin Feng on the Jiyang battlefield, Of course, they didn't have a choice.

"The god of Chengqing is haunted, if he is really willing to fight head-on with this king in Jiyang, it is also a good opportunity, what he is afraid of is that he transfers his strength and engages in guerrilla warfare, and now the corporal under his command in addition to the serious reinforcement of the soldiers, there are 50,000 people who are the original Qi army in Jinan, it is not good to say that it is coerced by our army, whether it is really a force is unknown, and this king will not take this risk, so this decisive battle has to wait until the Shenwu cannon arrives, and these things are discussed with them."

Shangguan Yin Feng was frightened by Cheng Qingzhi's guerrilla warfare, so he came out with this moth, without the assistance of the firearms unit, to fight against this kind of person, one word, cowardice.

......

On the tower of the north gate of Jiyang, Shangguan Yin Feng frowned at the scorching sun and looked at the Qi army formation not far away, the Chengping army resisted the city of Jiyang in the morning, and set up a battle formation about five miles away from the north gate, beating drums and shouting, and sent sergeants to the city to provoke.

"It's the first time since the army has been called a city like this, it's ridiculous."

Shangguan Yin Feng shook his head unconsciously as he spoke, it was indeed the first time in the past few years that he had been called the city like this, in the past, his own army approached the city, and then his own side was responsible for calling the city, and then arrayed to attack the city.

Behind him stood a brocade guard full of generals and guards, all with serious expressions.

"Wait, don't fight, such a big sun, this king wants to see if they can hold it until noon."

In Shandong in June, the scorching sun is shining, although it is not so hot compared to the south, but the scorching sun in the north during the day is not so easy to deal with.

Just after noon, Shangguan Yin Feng climbed the city tower again, looked at the Qi army formation in the distance, and then instructed Zhang Xiong beside him: "Wenzu, you lead the army of 5,000 to go out to fight for a while, no matter whether you win or lose, hold on for half an hour and retreat..."

"No..."

"Drums cheering..."

The war drums sounded, and the Qi army, which was already a little tired, was shaken up, and even Cheng Pingzhong was also shaken, after all, he had more than 100,000 people in his hands, and he would not lose the battle against the Cheng Dynasty army in Jiyang City.

Zhang Xiong led 5,000 people, including nearly 500 cavalry troops, followed by 4,000 foot soldiers who went out of the city, spears stood out in a forest, and killed towards the army formation of the Qi army.

Shangguan Yin Feng, who was on the city tower, looked at the two armies that were already fighting in one place, and then ordered: "Liang Xi, you lead an army of 5,000 to meet Zhang Xiong, with the same order, only hold on for half an hour." ”

"No..."

The plan is very simple, Shangguan Yin Feng hung Chengping for a long time, and then launched the order to attack when the sun was the most poisonous at noon, and it was still a wheel battle, which was a big trouble for the Qi army who had been waiting in the field for most of the day, they stood on the plain under the scorching sun, waiting for the battle, while most of the Cheng Dynasty troops in the city were hiding in the shade, waiting for the order to attack.

"If Cheng Qingzhi is also here, this king may fight to the death with you..."Shangguan Yin Feng said and said to the generals behind him: "Yanqing, you take five thousand people out to pick up Huang Wei..."

"No..."

Counting Li Yanqing's attack, Shangguan Yin Feng had already sent seven waves of men and horses, a total of 35,000 people to attack in turn, and Cheng Pingzhong, who was in command of the Chinese army, suddenly realized that he seemed to have been tricked, but he had to passively accept the move.

"Pass the order of the lonely army, the whole army will attack..."Cheng Ping drank the water in the water bag, issued the order to attack, and then took the long knife handed by his own soldiers, and slapped his horse forward.

About 100,000 regular troops, plus tens of thousands of reserve troops, more than 100,000 people in the north of Jiyang on the small plain towards Jiyang, Huang Wei has just entered the city, Zhang Xiong, who was the first to fight before, still appeared on the edge of the city gate, behind him is already ready to go 30,000 soldiers.

Li Yanqing led the army to meet the battle in a hurry, after all, there were only 5,000 people, and more than 100,000 people pressed over at once, even if one person had a mouthful of old phlegm, it was enough to drown these 5,000 people.

"Array, release arrows..."Li Yanqing was in the middle of the army, commanding the battle.

Zhang Xiong's 30,000 people all went out of the north gate, and in a cloud of dust, they killed the Qi army that was rushing to kill, and they clashed again, which was completely different.

The combat effectiveness of the Cheng Dynasty Army has always been preserved, although the Qi Army is the same, but standing under the scorching sun for most of the day, no one can hold on, and most of them are wearing leather armor, and these Cheng Dynasty troops who rushed out of the city only put on armor, in comparison, the combat effectiveness is naturally stronger than the Qi Army.

From the sky, the hundreds of thousands of people who pressed over seemed to be turbulent, but they were resisted by the 35,000 people, and they were actually slowly retreating.

It's as if the flood came ferociously, but was intercepted by the embankment, and then slowly retreated, but the battle was different, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, was blocked like this, most of the murderous aura of those Qi troops disappeared, and Li Yanqing, who had been prepared, immediately sent an order for the sergeant of the army to shout. Chengping ran again', that is, this shout, so that the Qi soldiers at the forefront began to collapse inexplicably, first one, then three or five groups, and finally the forward soldiers all turned around and ran, coupled with the rise of Zhang Xiong behind him, took off his armor and went into battle shirtless, and the shouts made those Qi troops even more frightened.

"Run..."
