Chapter 169: Cavalry

At this moment, the general Jing Keqin reported through the flying pigeon, claiming that his vanguard had infiltrated Bazhou City, and he planned to take Bazhou City while the chaos was taking place.

asked people to unfold the map, and everyone gathered around, Bu Ning pointed to the map and said: "My lord, if Hu Jiusi hears that Ba County is occupied, he will definitely flee in a hurry."

The second village is on the south bank of the Enyang River, and now it is cold, and it is more difficult for Hu Jiusi to cross the Enyang River than to climb to the sky.

The last general's expectation was good, Hu Jiusi was likely to lead his troops to retreat to Langzhong, and the last general was willing to lead his troops to make a detour to the pass to cut off Hu Jiusi's retreat. ”

Yin Chengqi smiled and said: "Ma Dusi, probably you have a fancy for Hu Jiusi's three hundred cavalry."

Your cavalry battalion is now full, with three hundred horsemen.

Are you worried that other troops will capture their cavalry and use it to pull food? ”

Bu Ning touched his head and smiled.

Yang Lin thought about it, and immediately ordered Bu Ning to make a detour to cut off Hu Jiusi's retreat, so that the third watch of each department got up to eat, and the fourth watch set off, and he must rush to the second village at the end of the day (9 o'clock to 11 o'clock in the morning) to catch Hu Jiusi off guard.

Although the grass is a coward, everyone is not idle during the New Year, and the traditional customs and habits cannot be observed.

Hu Jiusi, who is in charge of the local tyrant, had just woken up, and there was a commotion outside, and some people claimed that hundreds of volunteers had appeared ten miles away.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was too unlucky to encounter this kind of fact, and Hu Jiusi, who traveled thousands of miles, sent people to ask for help from Huanglong, the city of Bazhou, while gathering people and horses.

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, and many people are having fun, beating gongs and drums, and it takes half an hour to gather everyone together.

When everyone heard that hundreds of volunteers had appeared at the foot of the mountain, they were all terrified.

Although the show is a soldier, but Yang Lin is very experienced in the use of soldiers, since his debut, he has never been defeated, if he is not very sure, he will not gather soldiers and horses to attack the mountain on the first day of the New Year.

Some people saw the cottage making a lot of noise, many brothers went home for the festival and did not come back, and now the cottage is disheartened, and the plan for today is to withdraw to Ba County.

As soon as the idea was put forward, Hu Jiusi vetoed it, he had more than 300 horsemen under his command, and he could attack and retreat and defend, even if he was defeated, he could escape unscathed, why should everyone be so alarmed?

Although Yang Lin is quite cunning, the second master will hand over such a dangerous place to himself, and if he flees without a fight, the second master will never forgive.

Although many of the brothers did not return home, the 300 cavalry under his command were still there, so why not lead his brothers to fight for a while, and then return to the mountains to wait for help.

Feng Youqing led his troops to walk in the front, saw the dust in front, heard the sound of horses' hooves in front, and knew that Hu Jiusi led the cavalry to kill him, and he did not panic, stood on the hill, and arranged various brigades to occupy favorable terrain to wait for the enemy.

Seeing that the other party was on guard, although Hu Jiusi felt quite weird, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he left a large group of men and horses and more than 100 horsemen to harass in front, and led more than 200 horsemen to detour to the back, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill.

The 7th Battalion was taken by surprise, and the squadron at the back collapsed instantly.

Seeing that the other party was entering the formation, Feng Youqing hurriedly led the escort squadron to kill it and resisted desperately in front.

In the back, the assistant commanded everyone to tie the wheelbarrow and two-wheeled rickshaw together to form a car formation, and everyone used a swarm of bees and tiger squat cannons in the formation, and used bird guns to cover, so as to stabilize the situation slightly.

Seeing that Feng Youqing led his troops to withdraw to the formation, Hu Jiusi led his troops to rush forward, but the volunteers relied on the car formation to continue to fire back, and after the battle, more than 20 people were killed and wounded.

Hu Jiusi secretly screamed that it was a pity, but he did not panic, and made people blow the horn to withdraw from the formation, and then raid in other directions.

Feng Youqing was on guard now, and when he saw Hu Jiusi leading the horse thieves to attack back and forth, he tried his best to ensure that the formation was not chaotic, and led all the troops to continue to rush and kill, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

After several rounds in a row, the firearms of the volunteers were sharp, and the killers were not as afraid of their horses as they were at the beginning, and some even rushed out and surrounded the horses, leading the reins of the horses, chopping the legs of the horses, and some people specifically attacked the knights on horseback.

After a fierce battle for an hour, the horse thieves were killed and wounded sixty or seventy people, Hu Jiusi did not dare to fight again, and was ready to fight his horse and flee back to Erzhaizi, but was intercepted by the volunteers in the middle of the road.

It turned out that when he heard the news of the battle between the two sides, Yang Lin was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the rest of the soldiers and horses to arrive, and saw through the monocular from a distance that Feng Youqing had already controlled the situation, and judged that Hu Jiusi might escape back to Erzhai and make plans again.

So while the two sides were fighting, he ordered the 3rd Battalion to lead his troops to bypass, so as to block the retreat.

There were blockers in front and chasing soldiers in the back, and the two sides fought and fought in the hilly areas, seeing that the volunteers were constantly killing, Hu Jiusi complained bitterly, and finally had no choice but to lead his troops to flee eastward.

Seeing Hu Jiusi fleeing to the east, Wu Dazhu led the only thirty or so horsemen of the escort battalion to arrive.

Hu Jiusi was shocked, but he had no choice but to meet him, trying to rely on the numerical advantage to disperse the opponent, and then escape from the battlefield.

But the astonishing surprise of this cavalry and other cavalry, these people did not hide in the distance and fire arrows like other official cavalry, but bravely met them.

When the brave wins on a narrow road, Hu Jiusi suppressed the fear in his heart, was on the line of life and death, and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

When the two horses in front of them were twenty paces apart, they suddenly saw the other man grasp the reins of the horse with his left hand, raise a three-eyed gun with his right hand, aim at close range, and pull the trigger when the two horses are staggered.

The flames lit up, and three lead bolts burst out of their guns, firing ten paces away at the rider who was also galloping towards them.

Suddenly, the rider in front struggled and fell off the horse, and the rider behind was frightened and tightened the reins of his horse.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Dazhu led the cavalry squadron to kill, and after a scuffle, drove the other party back to the camp.

Seeing the other side bullying the riders who lacked good shooting in their own formation, seeing that the opponent's rider's weapon was so strange that they could release the gun without igniting it at all, and seeing that some of the opponent's riders used the three-eyed gun as a big stick, and some even added a long gun spike to it, the local riot cavalry didn't know how to deal with it, and everyone scattered like frightened sheep.

The east side is bad and the west side is bright, and now Hu Jiusi can't care about the riders scattered everywhere, and leads his personal guards to flee to the west, but the west is not fortified at all, and everyone is like a flock of sheep that has been driven away, and they have fled to the west.

After running for fifteen miles like this, everyone was sleepy and tired, and they were about to rest, but they happened to meet Yao Chonglie, and the two sides fought for a while, although they surrounded and annihilated the remnants of each other's soldiers and horses, but Hu Jiusi still fled with more than ten cronies and fled to Liu Jinzhong in Baoning Mansion.

Hearing that Hu Jiusi had fled, the morale of the local thugs in the cottage plummeted, although some wanted to resist stubbornly, and some scattered everywhere.

The dragon frame concentrated the five tiger squatting cannons, continuously bombarding, and taking this opportunity,

Yao Chonglie concentrated more than ten large Francophone cannons to bombard the mountain gate.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Gao led more than 30 death squads to successfully sneak attack, and climbed the mountain from the back mountain to the cottage and killed the village.

The dragon frame took advantage of the chaos to attack the mountain and control the two villages before dark.

Yang Lin rewarded everyone, and everyone set up camp on the second village, waiting for the next day to cross the Enyang River and rush to Ba County.

Early the next morning, Tanmalai reported that Wang Gao, the Black Sky Star, heard that Ba County had been lost, and hurriedly led his troops to move closer to Erzhaizi, hoping to join forces with Hu Jiusi and then make a decision.

As soon as he reached the halfway point, the situation changed sharply, Hu Jiusi was defeated and fled, and the volunteers occupied the second village.

Everyone was shocked, Wang Gao convened everyone to discuss the matter, some advocated breaking the whole into pieces and fleeing, and some claimed to join the volunteers.

Wang Gao hesitated again and again and couldn't decide, and Liu Banxian beside him admonished: "Although Xingjun was once the head of Yao Huang's family, compared to Huanglong, Huanglong, and Yuan Tao, his evil deeds are not good.

Yang Lingong's background is far from being comparable to those martial artists?

Yang Lin is very strict in governing the army, but also cherishes the people, although it is a troubled time, but the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are willing to return.

Although Xingjun had fought with the Volunteers in the past, he had also made friends with Yang San, the second sentinel, and Wang Jingkeqin, and now both of them were his generals, so why didn't Xingjun send someone to ask for a letter overnight and lead his troops to return to the Volunteers, so at least his life was worry-free. ”

On weekdays, Wang Gao obeyed this Liu Banxian's words, and now he even claimed kindness, and immediately sent a messenger to Ba County overnight to ask for assurance, and then led the troops to Erzhai and led the troops to surrender.

Wang Gao knelt down and sat restlessly, and Yin Chengqi had already handed Jing Keqin's letter to the front of the case.

Yang Lin's face suddenly sank, and he asked: "Wang Gao, I heard that before you surrendered to my volunteers, you were nervous, and you asked Liu Banxian to offer you a plan to ask Jing Keqin to intercede."

Tell me, can you do this? ”

Wang Gao didn't feel the change in tone, stood up, smiled, and said yes again and again.

Yang Lin slapped the case a few times, and said angrily: "What a Wang Gao, did you form a gang before you took refuge?"

I forgive you, it's not because you were friendly with Jing Keqin in the past, it's because you didn't commit a crime.

I will not spare you, even if all my men intercede for you, I will not spare you. ”

Wang Gao was shocked, beads of sweat rolled down his face one by one, and he threw his hands over and over again, and confessed his guilt again and again.

Yang Lin waved his hand, and the guards rushed up and dragged him out, slapped him with fifty whips, and then dragged back with flesh and blood.

Looking at Wang Gao, whose flesh and blood were blurred and wailing, Yang Lin walked down the steps, lifted his shirt, glared at his eyes, and asked, "Wang Gao, do you know why Ben is going to whip you?" ”

Wang Gao shook his head again and again, and said weakly: "Adult, the little one is stupid, but the little one knows that everyone says that the adult is a big hero, and the adult is the master of the people and the Qing official."

Although the little one does not know what he has done, he will from now on be the only one who will obey the orders of the adult. ”

Yang Lin smiled, patted Wang Gao on the shoulder, and said, "Wang Gao, I whipped you this time to tell you that I will only punish the generals because of their personal behavior, and I will not consider the plea or anything."

Now, got it? ”

When Wang Gao heard this, he forcibly got up from the ground, and nodded his head again and again.

Yang Lin organized Wang Gao's department into a brigade and appointed him as the captain of the brigade, which was temporarily under the command of the guard battalion.
