Chapter 943: Reserves, Forward



Although Xu Dingguo's Henan army was unbearable, there were many good and bad people, and they were all locals, familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers, and the scouts were scattered for more than forty miles. Read the latest chapter in full - within a radius of forty miles, but whenever there is a disturbance, he will know it as soon as possible and react accordingly.

But this huge cavalry group unknowingly 'touched' the approach, could it be that the horses sent out by Lao Tzu were all decorations?

No, they are not blind, but they have all been killed by Sun Yuan.

However, Sun Yuan didn't know that Lao Tzu had shaved his hair and surrendered to Jiannu......

In any case, the fact that Tanma was killed by all of them still made Xu Dingguo a 'excited' spirit, and he turned his head sharply and yelled below: "Cannons, enemy attacks, enemy attacks!" ”

He heard his own roar and shuddered.

With the roar of the cannons, the entire old battalion of the Henan Army was 'commotion'. Even in broad daylight, the torches were lit one after the other. Smoke was billowing and people were buzzing.

Not long after Xu Ding**** was newly built, the composition of the troops was complex, there was no combat effectiveness, and the courage was very small. Therefore, when fighting, they like to rely on long-range weapons, and the troops are not only equipped with a large number of bows and arrows, but also three 'guns'.

In the roaring sound of wheels, three 'doors' of small cannons were hurriedly pushed over by more than 20 soldiers and ignited.

The small cannon took a step back sharply, spewing out a large cloud of white 'colored' gunsmoke.

Three swarthy cannonballs let out a long screech in the air, and the scalp tensed to hear it.

Sun Yuan's cavalry saw that the old battalion of the Henan Army was already on guard, and at the same time stopped and began to line up

。 The line gradually widened, and the bright armor joined together, and the people became more and more panicked.

The three shells of "Bang Bang" fell one after another on the open ground in front of the cavalry of the Ningxiang Army, bounced again, and slid on the grass for more than 20 meters before stopping.

If it had been replaced by other armies, it would have been a 'chaos' long ago. The cavalry of the Kening Township Army was not 'chaotic' at all, and was still arranged in a neat and orderly manner.

This Sun Yuanjun's discipline is so good.

Xu Dingguo had never encountered such an enemy, and he suddenly had a hint of foreboding in his heart: this battle would be lost very badly.

However, what can you do if you don't fight this battle, can you escape, and where can you flee? Haoge is fighting a decisive battle with Gao Jie in Qixian, and he doesn't understand the battle situation, even if he wants to retreat, he doesn't know where to retreat?

Moreover, the enemies are all cavalry, and on this large plain formed by the impact of the Yellow River, if the Henan soldiers are bitten by Sun Yuan's cavalry, they will only be wiped out. The wisest response now is to hold the old camp, hold it for three or five days, and wait for Haoge to solve the problem and bring troops to help.

Thinking about it like this, Xu Dingguo also gave up the idea of escaping. After all, he is a veteran who participated in the battle of Denglai during the Apocalypse, and he has never eaten sheep 'meat' and watched sheep run, so he still has basic military knowledge.

He shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, the enemy is only more than 1,000, and we have 5,000." Besides, they are all cavalry, and we have set up a strong camp, so it is difficult for their cavalry to 'plug in' their wings and fly into the camp. If they want to enter the old camp of our army, it depends on how many lives they can pay. ”

That being said, this camp was set up in a hurry, and whether it could withstand the enemy's attack or not could only depend on God's blessing.

"The order is to be sent five hundred bows...... Three hundred...... Damn, as many as you want, stay here. "Xu Dingguo originally wanted to say 500 archers, but when he thought about it, his troops had already been 'mixed' and 'chaotic' after yesterday's 'commotion' and 'chaos', let alone 500, I was afraid that 300 would not be able to make up for a while. Anyway, damn it, just look at the person with the bow on his back, pull me over, and suppress the enemy's charge first.

"The gunners are ready, and when the enemy enters the 'firing' range, they will smash me hard. Big drum, beat it up! ”

……

That's right, it was the Ningxiang Army who came

。 But unlike Xu Dingguo who thought that it was the main cavalry army of the Ningxiang Army, the thousand men and horses who came were just reserve troops.

Because of the care of Fu Shan and Zhu Xuanshui, the equipment of these thousand cavalry was no different from that of the regular army. It's just that these people are wearing yellow 'colored' dog skins on their iron helmets, and they look 'hairy', like a pack of hungry wolves.

At this moment, Sun Yuan was sitting on a white 'colored' war horse, looking at the old camp of Xu Dingguo that had been 'chaotic' in front of him with empty eyes: "In this way, Xing Pingbo was killed from Suizhou City last night, where is he now?" ”

One of his faces was covered with mud, and some parts of his hands and face had been blown by the cold wind and smeared with grease.

These days, he has been rushing day and night, which has made Sun Yuan lose a lot of weight. In the past, because of his peaceful life in the past two years, Sun Yuan gained some weight and already had a small belly. But this way of eating and sleeping in the open made him lose weight, but his "spirit" spirit was much better than before. The whole body is as black as pig iron, and there is no trace of fat 'meat'. His eyes were as sharp as a goose knife pulled out of its sheath.

Next to him, a young general nodded: "Back to Hou Ye's words, the Henan army scout who was arrested said that Gao Jie had indeed been killed from Suizhou City last night." If nothing else, he should go to Kaifeng to join his men. It's just that the old camp of Gaojie over there in Kaifeng has been served by Haoge, and I don't know how many soldiers are left. Because there is no conclusive information, the subordinates do not know what the specific situation is. ”

The young general who spoke was Leng Ying.

returned to the Ningxiang Army combat sequence again, and directly accepted Sun Yuan's command. Although there are only 1,000 reserve cavalry under his command, it still makes Leng Ying, who has always been cold-eyed, feel 'tide'.

"What a Gao Jie, worthy of being a harrier over the mountain, he can kill in such a sinister situation, and he is really a fierce general. There are not many generals in our Ming Dynasty who are so fierce and daring to fight, and if we can live one more, the country will have more vitality. Sun Yuan also had a 'stir' in his heart, Gao Jie is not dead, history can still be changed.

Although he didn't know who the pangolin lurking in Gao Jie's army was and what he did last night, Gao Jie was able to get out of danger safely, and he thought it had a lot to do with this pangolin.

"Gao Jie's army has been severely hit by Hauge, and we have no way of knowing what the specific battle situation is. However, it can be said with certainty that Xu Dingguo held the passage of Gao Jie's retreat to the east, and held the key points of Henan, Xuzhou and Fengyang into Henan

。 In the future, no matter what decision you make, you must first remove the stone that is in the way of Xu Dingguo. ”

Leng Ying arched his hand: "Master Hou, Xu Dingguo is a rat, and he can be defeated with a single charge." Use me in the first battle, and I will win. ”

Seeing Leng Ying with a cold face, Sun Yuan suddenly remembered the battle of Ma Muji again, nodded, and was about to give an order.

"Marquis Yingchuan, seeing that there are not a few rebels in Xu Dingguo, and there is a camp, I am afraid that it will not be easy to take it for a while, and I have to think of a complete strategy." At this time, two dusty and unusually embarrassed scholars rode over.

Sun Yuan turned his head and saw that it was Yue Qijie, the governor of Henan, and Chen Qianfu, the governor of Henan. Last night's 'chaos', because these two people were not the target of Xu Ding, Xu Dingguo did not look for their bad luck. Because of this, the two of them had the wrong opinion, so they immediately changed into civilian clothes, and fled from the city in the crowd of people who were "commotion" and "chaos", and happened to meet Sun Yuan on the way.

The person who spoke was Chen Qianfu, Chen Xun talked a lot according to this person, and Sun Yuan's ears were calloused all the way.

Sun Yuan was a little annoyed by this person, but he still had to do the work on the surface, so he only said lightly: "If it is not easy to take it, you have to take it, if you don't sweep Xu Dingguo, you won't be able to save General Gao." In fact, the matter of fighting a war is very simple to say, and some strategic points are bound to be fought for, and there is no strategy to talk about. Everyone fights for the soldier's fighting spirit, and fights who is more afraid of sacrifice than whom. ”

"But the Marquis of Yingchuan only has 1,000 men and horses now, and they are all cavalry, how can he attack the ......" Chen Qianfu was about to argue again.

Yue Qijie said with a smile: "Chen Xun, the Ningxiang Army is the first army in the world. These 1,000 people must be the 'elite' of the 'elite' of the Duningxiang Army, and what is the point of eliminating a mere Xu Dingguo. ”

"It's not 'elite', I'm the town's reserve." Yue Qijie is Yang Wencong's uncle, even if he is in the same party as Sun Yuannai, he will not hide anything from him.

Yue Qijie: "What is a reserve? ”

"It's the village brave, an ordinary military household."

"What, Xiang Yong, a thousand Xiang Yong is going to fight Xu Dingguo's hard village?" At this time, not only Chen Qianfu, but even Yue Qijie couldn't help but scream.

"That's right, if you want me to dispatch the 'elite' cavalry army, he promises that Dingguo is not worthy." Sun Yuan snorted: "Although I am a cavalryman, the cavalry can also dismount and attack fortifications." Leng Ying! ”

Leng Ying: "The last general."

。 ”

Sun Yuan: "The enemy's deer barricades and rejecting horses have not yet been repaired, so I ordered you to personally lead 300 soldiers to open the road in front, break the fence in front, and make a passage for our cavalry." I'll give you a pot of tea, and if you haven't opened the old camp of the Henan Army, I'll see you. ”

Leng Ying: "Order!" ”

He jerked out his saber and swung it forward, shouting, "Reserves, forward!" ”

At the sound of an order, three hundred rode out of the column and slowly moved forward.

……

Seeing that the Ningxiang army divided three hundred cavalry and rushed straight towards the old camp, Xu Dingguo was also stunned: others compared Sun Yuan to the reincarnation of Qi Jiguang, and he was simply an immortal military god. It seems that I haven't heard of this kind of thing using cavalry to attack the hard village, is this person crazy?

But being slowly 'forced' by the enemy's cavalry, and thinking of the strength of the Ningxiang army, Xu Dingguo still felt a chill in his heart and mentioned the 'spirit'.

Within a moment, Leng Ying's cavalry entered the 'firing' range of the Henan soldiers' artillery.

At this time, under the lookout, the gunners of Xu Dingguo's department were ready, and a group of archers were also 'chaotic' behind the fence, and at the same time drew their bows and pointed diagonally to the sky.

"Cannon, put!"

Three solid shells rose into the air with a roaring wind, drew three arcs in the air, and smashed into the herd of horses, but unfortunately they did not hit the target.

The cannonball was bounced off by the thick loess, carrying mud and sand, and it jumped through the people and horses for a dozen paces before it fell to the ground with all its might.

"Haha!" The cavalry of the Ningxiang Army let out a burst of mocking ridicule.

The enemy was still not advancing fast, and they were moving forward slowly, like a leisurely stroll.

Xu Dingguo complained in his heart, and the three 'doors' of small cannons in his hands were still 'obtained' from the flooded Kaifeng city wall last year. There were no professional artillery in the troops, and those gunners were formed improvised by rushing ducks into battle. Not to mention going to the battlefield to fight, even how many bullets and 'medicine' should be loaded and how far they can 'shoot' out are still being 'groped'. Now facing the huge pressure of the Ningxiang Army, how can you 'shoot' accurately for a while?
