Chapter 196: (The Verge)

On September 14 of the first year of Fengtian, outside the city of Zhuangzhou, Shangguan Yin Feng camped

"Lord Wang, our army is ready to go forward, just wait for the prince to give an order, and then we can launch an attack on Zhuangzhou. www.biquge.info"Huang Wei walked into the big tent in a military uniform and reported to Shangguan Yin Feng.

Shangguan Yin Feng stood on the main seat of the big tent, Shen Lihua was helping to sort out his unicorn armor and cloak, and after buttoning his belt, he hung the seven-star sword on his waist: "Order, order Ouyang Qing to lead an army of 30,000 to surround the north gate, Deng Yu to lead an army of 20,000 to surround the south gate, Qian Menglong to lead an army of 20,000 to surround the west gate, Li Yanqing and He Qing and other troops to lead an army of 50,000 to prepare for a white-edged battle, and order Huang Botao to set up the Shenwu cannon on a high place and be ready at any time." ”

"No..."

In addition to Chai Shang with 10,000 soldiers staying in Cangzhou to take care of grain and grass, Ouyang Qing rushed to Zhuangzhou with the remaining 70,000 people to join Shangguan Yin Feng, and Shangguan Yin Feng brought these people from Liaodong to put together a total of 100,000 people, that is to say, although Yuan Long had an army of 150,000 this time, Shangguan Yin Feng also reached 170,000 people, 20,000 more than Yuan Long, followed by the problem of combat effectiveness; At least 30,000 of Yuan Long's men were newly recruited soldiers, who were hurriedly pulled onto the battlefield without systematic training, and once a rout occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And Shangguan Yin Feng's troops, in addition to the 70,000 elites who were given to Ouyang Qing, Qian Menglong, and Deng Yu respectively, also had 10,000 elite soldiers in the headquarters, 20,000 Shanhaiguan garrisons in Shen Lang, 20,000 soldiers in Chen Xun, and the former Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate, and now 50,000 elites in the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, a total of 100,000 people, completely suppressed Yuan Long in terms of combat effectiveness; Although Shen Lang's 20,000 men were in Shanhaiguan and had never been in battle, this would not affect the overall combat capability of Shangguan Yin Feng's troops at all.

"As soon as the Shenwu cannon fires this time, the Yuan clan will completely collapse." Shangguan Yin Feng said and looked at Yuan Liang, Yuan Han, and Yuan Xian who were still in the tent and said: "After the fall of Yuan Long, the position of the patriarch of the Yuan clan in Hebei will be left to Yuan Xian, and I hope that you will wait for the Yuan clan to do your best, don't ruin the face of your ancestors." ”

"We will do what the prince says." The three of them clasped their fists together and said.

"Pass the order, after attacking Zhuangzhou, let the army plunder the rich families in the city as much as they want, but there is one rule, those who dare to intercept and kill ordinary people will be killed." Shangguan Yin Fengwu said to himself.

This news is a stimulant, so that the soldiers of the Cheng Dynasty are heartbroken, the veteran oil is an opportunity to make a fortune for this, and for the new soldiers, they can play with those women and children in the city at will, in short, looting the city is what the soldiers want to do most after entering the city.

The reason why Shangguan Yin Feng issued this order was also to let his soldiers taste some sweetness, or that sentence, the ox ploughs the field, and it can't be stopped from grazing, but the uniqueness of this order is that it is only allowed to rob the rich in the city, not all the people in the city, that is to say, after the destruction of Zhuangzhou City, the rich people who suffered.

Outside the city of Zhuangzhou, in front of the two armies

Yuan Long was dressed in gold armor and a red cloak, which was particularly conspicuous in the military array, and opposite him was the 50,000 vanguard army headed by Li Yanqing, the Marquis of Pingxiang, on the left of Li Yanqing was Chen Cheng riding a high-headed horse in Liaodong and many generals, on the right was He Qing and a group of generals, and the soldiers of the Cheng Dynasty behind him were all looking at the Yan army troops opposite, a feeling of wanting to swallow the whale. And in the middle of the army was Cao Zhen's 6,000 vanguard battalion cavalry troops.

In fact, their relationship is very delicate, these 50,000 vanguard troops are all people from the Liaodong Dusi, they were surrounded by the Yan army led by Yuan Long in Liaodong for a long time, and they were cornered, although Yuan Long withdrew with a large army later, but now when he sees the Yan army on the opposite side, those Liaodong soldiers are all red-eyed, and some have scolded the opposite side in private, which is the so-called enemy meeting is extraordinarily red-eyed.

"Your Majesty, our army is ready, just wait for the emperor's order, and the last general will charge first." Wei Ping rode up to Yuan Long and said to Yuan Long.

"Okay, pass the order, all the soldiers of the army must fight to the death, after the victory of this battle, all the soldiers can be rewarded." Yuan Long gave orders with a cold expression.

"No..."

Li Yanqing is also waiting, now his hand holding the long knife is full of Han, the weather in Hebei in September is not as hot as before, but the current atmosphere is extremely tense, so that everyone dare not gasp.

A brocade-clothed guard came to Li Yanqing quickly, arched his hand at Li Yanqing and said, "Prince, the prince has an order, order the prince and others to take the lead in attacking." ”

"Go back and tell the prince, and say that you will attack immediately." Li Yanqing said with a frown.

Seeing the brocade-clothed guard riding a horse, Li Yanqing let go of his hand, wiped the sweat from his palm, and then turned his head to look at Chen Cheng and He Qing respectively, and then raised his long knife and shouted: "Soldiers, kill..."

"Kill...", the army behind him roared.

As Li Yanqing took the lead in rushing out of the military formation, the soldiers behind him took the lead, and one by one they rushed towards the Yan army on the opposite side with swords and spears.

Yuan Long tightened the reins and said in a deep voice, "Attack." ”

"The whole army is attacking..."Wei Ping shouted, raised his broadsword and rode forward, followed by tens of thousands of Yan soldiers.

As the fierce collision sounded, the entire Zhuangzhou City instantly fell into hell, and the earth-shattering roars and killings came and went, and the two sides began a fierce white-knives battle.

"Archers prepare..."He Qing, who stayed in the military formation, calmly ordered: "Release the arrows..."

The arrows tilted down towards the Yan army's military formation like a torrential rain, causing groups of Yan soldiers to fall to the ground with arrows, and this scene is beautiful if you look down from the air.

"Release the arrows..."Yuan Long also ordered a counterattack.

Countless people fell to the ground with arrows on both sides, and human heads also flew into the sky, and then the war horses intersected, weapons collided, screams, and cries rose to the sky, and wounded and wailing people were everywhere.

The battle between the two sides lasted for nearly two hours, and there was no distinction between up and down, and then from Shangguan Yin Feng's military formation, there was a tight sound of gold, this is the news of retreat, with the sound of gold, the situation on the battlefield suddenly became obvious, the two warring sides quickly separated, and the soldiers of the Cheng Dynasty began to retreat one after another, and the soldiers of the Yan Army also chased towards the fleeing Cheng Dynasty soldiers like a tide, the scene was very spectacular.

Yuan Long watched this change behind the military formation, and then laughed loudly: "Shangguan Yin Feng is too bold, even if Li Yanqing is too powerful, these tens of thousands of people feel that they are fighting with 150,000 people, jokes, and give orders to go down, and the whole army will pursue them." ”

"No..."

Looking at the sudden changes in front of him, Wei Ping suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, Li Yanqing's prestige resounded throughout the land of Hebei, he knew in his heart that Li Yanqing would not fight the enemy hard when the number was less than the other party, and would only use tactics to win, thinking of this, Wei Ping said to stop: "Your Majesty, Li Yanqing has a lot of schemes, and the Cheng Dynasty army and our army are inseparable, how can they suddenly withdraw their troops, it is better not to pursue, otherwise it is easy to fall into the trap." ”
