Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Beitun Ambush

After crossing the river, he entered the territory of Ningwu in Chunxian County, fortunately, there was no water in the river, otherwise Li Jing's department ran forty miles in one go, and he had to look at the river to collapse on the spot and enter his own territory, Li Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to ask others, "This official army has been behind?!" ”

Tan Wu next to him had a solemn face, obviously very jealous of the officers and soldiers behind him, "Yes, lord, we have been running for two or three hours, this group of officers and soldiers is still hanging far behind, it seems that the person who came is not good!" ”

"Well, fortunately, they are greedy for money, and they keep picking up the goods we have discarded, otherwise we will have to leave half of us and flee for our lives. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info "Li Jing said so, but along the way, from time to time, there were small groups of people who broke away from their own brigades, and when they reached the territory of Chun County, no less than two or three hundred people broke up halfway.

And the officers and soldiers hanging behind him went up, killed them one by one, took the head and hung it on his waist, and came up to chase after him, but so, but forced Li Jing's department not to dare to have the idea of escaping, anyway, the escape also called the officers and soldiers to catch up, cut the head, it is better to follow the army wholeheartedly, but there is still some hope.

Li Jing saw his subordinates fall on the march one by one, so he only gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is Zheng Renbao and Li Mao's team?" He had already sent his guards all the way back along the way to mobilize the main force of soldiers and horses to converge, and saw that the officers and troops behind him were stalking, like playing cat and mouse, where could he not be angry, and he despised his own family.

A scout will hurry up and explain the situation of each department one by one, "Back to the lord, General Li Shen led the troops and horses to be stationed in Beitun Mountain five miles ahead, and General Zheng Shen was on the way from Yuanping to Beitun Mountain, and there were still seven or eight miles away from here, and the soldiers and horses led by General Feng were also in place. ”

Li Jing was still not at ease, "What about the cannon?" Have you ever been in place?! "My own family went to attack Shenchi, and the artillery they brought with them, because the official army came too fast, they could not retreat with the army, and in desperation, they all hid in the fortress in the west of the city, and only sent a hundred cronies to guard it, pretending to be a big family to guard the village, and I don't know if it has been discovered by the official army now.

In this way, all the artillery brought by his own family was lost, and he knew that in the battle on the plain, without artillery, he was afraid that he would not be the opponent of the official army, so he had to order the headquarters to concentrate all the artillery on the hill on the east side of Beitun Mountain, and only wait for the army to be in place and kill it together, so that the officers and troops could not be connected.

"General Li has dismantled all the artillery that can be used in Ningwu Pass, and he is already in place, just waiting for the arrival of the lord's army."

Li Jing saw that the soldiers and horses from all walks of life were in place, and he was full of arrogance in his heart, and said directly, "Okay, send an order to Zheng Renbao, there is no need to converge at Beitun Mountain, go straight to the flank of the official army and stand by, just wait for the battle to start and cut off its back road!" ”

He also beckoned the soldiers and horses below to go quickly, and did not forget to say to Tan Wu, "You take the personal guards, cross Beitun Mountain, and go directly to the left, I will take the people to fight on the spot, lure the officers and soldiers, and fight and go." ”

Tan Wu listened to it and resolutely objected, "The lord is the body of a daughter, how to make it, or I will take the people to lure the enemy here!" ”

After arguing like this, Li Jing pushed the boat down the river, nodded in agreement, and saw that there were many baggage, I was afraid that it would be easily discarded, which made the officers and soldiers suspicious, and his heart turned for a while before he spoke, "You still lead the people to go first, I will lead a team of personal guards and lead the officers and soldiers away for a while, if you see the officers and soldiers chasing after your department again, immediately discard the baggage, just go to Beitun Mountain." ”

Seeing what Li Jing said solemnly, Tan Wu didn't dare to refute it, and directly agreed, "Yes!" ”

Seeing that the situation was urgent, the officers and cavalry hung two or three miles behind their own team, and did not dare to slack off, and immediately beckoned the people to speed up their pace, but the army fled for a few hours, and was already exhausted.

"All the cavalry of the pro-guards, come with me!"

Listening to such a greeting, the entire front team turned into a rear team, and more than one hundred and fifty personal guards immediately turned around and directly hit most of the people and went back, and the whole team was in a commotion, but fortunately, the chasing soldiers behind did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, otherwise only this once, this team would have to collapse on the spot.

Fortunately, Li Jing is backwards, obviously to block the officers and soldiers, if he rushes forward, he is afraid that the team will collapse on the spot, even so, he has experienced a lot of panic, and the team slowly calmed down, and everyone just walked forward numbly, always worried, looking back from time to time.

"Formation! Get the gun! With Li Jing's order, these more than 100 guards who came with him all raised their guns and bows, because the captured three-eyed guns were not so many, and the shooting gap of the bird guns was too long, and it was not as fast as the bow and arrow, so among the commands, there were only less than 200 three-eyed guns, half of which were equipped in the guard battalion.

In addition, the only cavalry under Li Jing's command is one hundred and fifty cavalry in the guard battalion, and strong mobility is the biggest reliance for Li Jing to dare to turn around to block the official army, of course, he will not be afraid of the official army at the moment, and Li Jing does not plan to turn back to melee combat, just wait for the official army to attack, only launch a wave, hit and run.

The officers and soldiers chased forty or fifty miles, and they were also exhausted, and at this moment, they actually saw that the thieves had sent a group of cavalry to attack, and they were immediately panicked, "Formation, formation, don't panic!" ”

But there is really no psychological preparation, this group of officers and soldiers has been chasing with the mentality of cat and mouse, and they also want to kill into the group of thieves on the way, but the leader of the team is really sure, seeing that the thieves actually have hundreds of people in armor, where do they dare to call the shots, and send someone to report to Hu Dawei.

Hu Dawei heard that this group of thieves actually had armor, as well as equipment such as bird guns and three-eyed guns, and was immediately shocked, these equipment, even in their own hands, are not much, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, only 300 cavalry with armor, the rest of the infantry army, most of them have no armor, or the cuirass filled with cotton, it is simply a face of goods, and it is useless.

In this way, I am worried that once I fight, even if my own soldiers and horses are more elite, they will suffer a lot of damage, not to mention that they have been pursuing, the thieves only care about fleeing for their lives, and they don't dare to fight reflexively, Hu Dawei just wants to wait for this group of soldiers and horses to exhaust and collapse before fighting a decisive battle, and only send cavalry to charge into battle from time to time along the way, wanting to disrupt the formation of Li Jing's department.

It's a pity that there are goods along the way, but whenever the official cavalry comes to attack and disturb, Li Jing's department will dump the goods on both sides, just wait for the officials and soldiers to arrive, where can they still care about chasing and chopping, only dismount to find property, Li Jing also strictly ordered the department to attack the officers and soldiers who are burying their heads in looting, anyway, just don't come up and take a bite.

In this way, seeing that Li Jing dared to lead the troops to reflexively prepare for battle, the officers and soldiers really didn't dare to come up, but just stopped their horses from a distance, stopped and watched, and sent people to invite their own infantry troops behind, but fortunately, Li Jing also didn't go fast, and the infantry of the official army only waited for a quarter of an hour before they followed.

Hu Dawei personally watched for a while at this moment, and saw that Li Jing was only more than a hundred cavalrymen, and he didn't see the infantry army, so he immediately thought in his heart for a while, and then ordered, "The cavalry stops, the infantry team steps forward, raises their guns and shoots at each other, and defeats this thief." ”

In fact, he saw that Li Jing's subordinates were equipped with long-range weapons such as three-eyed guns, and he was reluctant to touch his own cavalry, even if he won and lost some, he was distressed, it was better to change to the infantry army and consume some, and his heart would not hurt, anyway, even if the infantry army died, it would be able to recruit it with silver.

Li Jing saw that the cavalry of the official army did not move, but instead separated the infantry to step forward, and he was overjoyed, so that his goal of delaying for a period of time was achieved, and seeing the infantry approaching a certain distance, he smiled and beckoned the cavalry of his team to start running all the way......
