Chapter 117: Bloody Battle at Weishan Lake (2)
The opposition of so many people in Mingjiao is mostly out of selfishness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Miss Ma knew that Li Xingze was not the kind of person with a small belly, and guessed that he might have other plans, so she immediately stood up and hugged her fists and said: "Du Junshi, you might as well divide some people, and Li Junshi and I will go to fight Funan!" ”
Miss Ma's intention to protect her is clear to everyone, but it is just to let both sides have a step down, not to mention that she is a person from Mingjiao. At this time, it is difficult for everyone to say anything.
After a short rest and recruitment in Yingzhou, after everyone discussed, it was decided that Yingzhou would be guarded by Sheng Wenyu and Wang Xianzhong, and the Yingzhou Red Turban Army would be divided into two groups.
One of them, Miss Ma and Li Xingze and others went to fight Funan, while the other way was led by Du Zundao and Luo Wensu to fight Xincai.
......
When she was on the march, after hearing Li Xingze's explanation, Miss Ma Da's pretty face tightened, and she was full of complaints: "Why didn't you say it at that time? ”
Li Xingze smiled bitterly: "You teach many people, how can I have a chance to defend myself!" ”
I have to say that Li Xingze's impact on the overall situation of the Red Turban Army is more attractive than that of Xincai. Funan goes straight down the line of Gwangju and Xiju, you can cross the Dabie Mountain and go directly to Huangzhou Mansion.
However, he was not clear about the strategic deployment of Mingjiao, when Mingjiao formulated the plan, he took into account the first line of Xincai, Zhenyang, and Wuyang, and wanted to threaten Nanyang Mansion to the west, and reach Xinye and Xiangyang in the southwest of Menghai Mabu.
Another key point is that the high-level Ming Sect is particularly concerned about the Central Plains, and to the north can attack Ruzhou, Luoyang and other places.
This is the result of internal deliberations in the Ming Sect, and it is impossible for Li Xingze to know, so Miss Ma turned a deaf ear to Li Xingze's complaints, and pretended not to have heard anything.
Miss Ma and Li Xingze only brought the Yingzhou Red Turban Army with 2,000 people, and they walked for almost a day. Along the way, I was also worried about how to fight Funan, after all, the number of troops was so small, and the siege could only be tricked, and there was no way to storm it.
But when they arrived in Funan, they actually got a letter from the spies, and the soldiers guarding the city ran away. At this time, Li Xingze and Miss Ma looked at each other in surprise.
Thanks to the fight against Yingzhou, the Red Turban Army was too brave, and the Yuan soldiers who fled in all directions were also evil, especially the defenders of Funan.
Originally, there were still a thousand defenders in Funan, but before that, Don't Timur directly pulled away half of the people, and there were so many people left, facing the wolf-like Red Turban Army and the demon Li Xingze of the White Lotus Sect, who was still in the mood to stand here stupidly, and quickly ran away.
Li Xingze was a little puzzled, it seemed that he was not fierce enough to be so vicious, how could he get the title of 'Demon Dao'.
Xincai's garrison forces were also evacuated by other Timur, and Du Zundao and Luo Wensu, who had already learned the situation, took a strong attack.
Because the Yuan army defended the city too little, the first wave was captured at the head of the city, and then the Yuan soldiers did not resist at all, the whole line collapsed, scattered and fled.
At this moment, Du Zundao was still unclear about the situation on Li Xingze's side, but he was unconsciously proud, thinking that Li Xingze's way was definitely not as fast as him.
After Du Zundao and Luo Wensu discussed, both of them felt that they should take a rest, recruit more soldiers by the way, and then attack Zhenyang.
......
When Runing Mansion received the letter of the fall of Xincai, it sent thousands of Gao Antong, led a thousand elite soldiers, and rushed to Xincai.
Gao Antong is different from other generals, he is just a Han man, and he is from a small thousand households, so he is naturally not as good as the arrogant and domineering Meng Yuan generals, and the elite soldiers under his command are just new annexed troops, and their combat effectiveness is probably not as good as the Red Turban Army.
Knowing that his identity is not as good as that of a Mongolian general, and he is not a brave person, Gao Antong can be regarded as a wise general, and if he wants to recover Xincai this time, he understands that the first key is to repel the Yingzhou Red Turban Army, which is several times his own.
In order not to let the Red Turban Army notice the strength of their troops, Gao Antong divided his 1,000 men into three parts when he was about ten miles away from Xincai, and camped a few miles apart from each other.
Gao Antong planned to take a gamble, if he attacked Xincai, his little strength would not be enough at all, and he intended to lure the Red Turban Army out of the city and fight a decisive battle with it.
When the spies reported back to the three camps of the Yuan army, Du Zundao and Luo Wensu were already panicked, and they didn't let people investigate in detail again, so they were in a hurry in the hall.
In this new Cai City, the butt is about to withdraw before it is hot, and no one is happy to give it. In desperation, Luo Wensu cautiously reminded: "Master Du, why don't we find Li Xingze to help?" ”
Which pot is this, which pot is not opened, Du Zundao was in a hurry to get on the fire, but when he heard Luo Wensu mention Li Xingze, he immediately taught him with a straight face: "How can a general increase the prestige of others and fall into his own prestige, so many Yuan troops, even if he Li Xingze came, he didn't withdraw!" ”
At this time, Luo Wensu didn't know what Du Zundao meant, whether to call people to come over and help, so he could only stand there with an embarrassed face and listen to the training.
"Why are you stunned, why don't you hurry up and go to the interrogation?" When Du Zundao saw that Luo Wensu was so unpopular, he immediately became angry and roared angrily.
"Oh"
Luo Wensu nodded randomly, and hurriedly responded, going to Zhang Luo to report the matter, just out of the door, I thought that Du Zundao just couldn't pull his face, and finally had to ask for help.
Luo Wensu thought that he was just a black pot, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Li Xingze and Miss Ma were delayed in Funan for a few days, on the one hand, the Mingjiao wantonly opened warehouses to release grain and increase the supply of soldiers.
On the other hand, it is a headache for the attack of Xiju and Gwangju, after all, the two state cities are too close to each other, and the difficulty is not small.
When the two were discussing, they suddenly received a message from Xin Cai, and they urgently needed to lead their troops to support.
The message is very simple, just that a large number of Yuan troops are about to besiege Xincai, and they are afraid of losing Xincai, so they need to rush to it.
After receiving the information, Miss Ma and Li Xingze did not dare to delay more, leaving 1,000 defenders and leading the 2,000 Red Turban troops they had just recruited.
......
Sure enough, the development of things did not make Gao Antong wait too long, and Du Zundao, who was always worried about the Yuan army's attack on the city, couldn't sit still, and Luo Wensu led a group of people to escape from the east gate and the south gate overnight.
When the city gate opened, Gao Antong got the news and quietly followed Du Zundao, who escaped from the south gate.
Du Zundao just led people to rush towards Funan, and did not leave spies behind, resulting in being caught up by Gao Antong behind when he was still half a day away from Foge Temple Town.
"Kill!"
When the Red Turban Army sensed that there were chasing soldiers behind them, but it was too late, Gao Antong raised his waist knife and led five hundred cavalry to quickly chase forward, the roar of horse hooves in the formation, and the roar of the earth-shattering shouts of killing frightened the Red Turban Army even more panicked.
Du Zundao was even more frightened, he was a literati, where did he pass through this kind of formation of being plundered by cavalry, and kept shouting and urging: "Run, hurry!" ”
The Yingzhou Red Turban Army was like a duck driven by the Yuan army, and fled forward frantically, but they didn't even have the strength to turn back and dare to fight.
Many of them were newly recruited soldiers, who had little experience in battle, and fled frantically when they were chased by cavalry, committing a taboo in soldiers.
The cavalry of the Yuan army only saw these Red Turban soldiers who were scattered and fled, and when they followed, they slashed at the opponent's back, and then looked for the next target.
Seeing that the vanguard cavalry of the Yuan army was about to catch up with Du Zundao, there was a whooshing sound in the air, knocking several cavalrymen in front of them under their horses.
......
Li Xingze, who came quickly, had already seen the Red Turban Army gradually running over, and ordered Hua Shaofeng to protect Du Zundao.
Li Xingze, who had experienced the Battle of Wollongong, was really not enough cavalry for him at the moment, looked at the cavalry of the Yuan army coldly, stretched out his hand and shouted angrily: "The pikemen come forward!" ”
Nearly a thousand pikemen stepped forward to stand in a long row, and at this time, the Red Turban Army led by Du Zundao had already run to the front, and when they saw Li Xingze's posture, it was clear that they wanted to fight to the death with the Yuan Army.
Worried that he would collide with Li Xingze's battle formation, Du Zundao hurriedly shouted: "Spread out and run, hurry!" ”
Li Xingze's worries were the same, and when he saw that the flow of people rushing over Du Zundao had gradually dispersed and ran, he nodded towards Hua Shaofeng at the moment.
Hua Shaofeng raised the Ling Banner high and shouted: "Reject the horse!" ”
Miss Ma rode a horse, and she also galloped back and forth, constantly shouting at the Red Turban Army: "Refuse the horse!" ”
Li Xingze's courage to confront the Yuan army this time was also due to Hua Shaofeng's training in Funan in the past few days, inherited from the method of fighting cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty, and seeing that the opponent's cavalry was not much, it just came in handy.
These newly recruited Red Turban Army soldiers in Funan had never been on the battlefield, but they still carried out the order well, one by one trembling and half-squatting on the ground, pointing the body of the spear obliquely into the air, and pressing the end of the spear with their feet on the soles of their feet.
Li Xingze put his hands behind his back, staring closely at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, he didn't have the slightest fear, with Zhang Junbao by his side to protect, he didn't even have to draw his sword.
As long as the first wave of cavalry is stopped, these Red Turban soldiers armed with short weapons will be able to cover up after the pikemen.
The spearheads of the cavalry pointed obliquely, shining with cold light in the sun, showing their teeth hideously, and a little light pierced the eyes of the cavalrymen.
Gao Antong showed a look of surprise, he couldn't imagine that there were capable people in the Red Turban Army who knew how to suppress the cavalry, and he was anxious at the moment, and shouted: "Stop, stop!" ”
The war horses that were galloping wildly, where they stopped when they said they would, the roaring hooves of the horses covered Gao Antong's voice, and they all crashed into the front of the Red Turban Army.
"Plop, plop!"
Not only was the sound of the war horse falling to the ground, but also many Red Turban soldiers fell to the ground. Where is the impact of the war horse that a platoon of pikemen can block, plus many people are soft on the battlefield, and the Red Turban Army's horse rejection array was instantly rushed to pieces.
Li Xingze didn't expect the effect to be so good, and actually stopped half of the cavalry in front of the battle, and before he could react, Hua Shaofeng beside him shouted: "Kill!" ”
With an order, the Red Turban Army, armed with long knives and other weapons behind, hurriedly rushed forward and began to besiege the cavalry that rushed into the crowd, in order to prevent them from maneuvering.
