The smoke of the war was thick, and the firelight pierced the night sky, and the sound of killing shook the sky under the city of Tai'an. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Attacking the city at night was the suggestion of a low-ranking officer in Yang Hu's army. He was originally an officer, and the tuntian assigned to him by the guard was taken away by Liu Jin's greedy merit and pretending to be the land hidden by the local place when he was in Qingzhang, and he had no land to plant, so he had to become a homeless person and fled from the guard, and when Yang Hubing arrived in Shandong, he simply joined the army.

According to his idea, Yang Hu's army continued to attack the city day and night, especially at night, the most fierce attack, because the guards at the head of the city at night could not see the specific deployment and movements of the white-clothed army under the city, so they could not anticipate the enemy's aircraft to prepare in advance. This method really pitted the defenders in the city, the offensive outside the city was tight and loose, day and night, especially at night, the number of opponents could not be seen clearly, where the four cities feintmed, where to really fight can not be predicted, can only defend day and night, already exhausted.

Yang Hu's patience was almost worn out. He originally planned to use Tai'an as bait to lure the Jinan defenders out of the city to fight, so the offensive was not very fierce, but the Jinan defenders have been standing still, and he hijacked dozens of boats of grain and grass from the canal to eat horses and feed, and squandered all of them, and now there is not much left, and if Tai'an City is not captured, the whole army will face the point of having no food available.

Therefore, Yang Hu has given up the plan of besieging the city and sending reinforcements in the past two days, and attacked Tai'an City with all his might, so as to take this city, use the grain stored in the city as a supply, and use the wealth and silk beauties in the city to boost the morale of the whole army.

Yang Hujun had four cannons, which were transported with great effort from the nearby county town oxen and horses, and the officers of the former guard station who had served did not know how to use cannons, but only understood that when the cannons were used, they had to fix the iron pins first, and set up iron shackles and piled earth walls behind the gun trucks. I don't know anything about the elevation angle of the artillery, the distance to the target, etc., but with such a large city there, every cannon can always hit the city wall or shoot into the city.

The city gate is walled with heavy stones to prevent it from being bombarded by Yang Hu's cannons. The city wall was scarred by the explosion, but when the sky was about to shine, the cannons in Yang Hu's army were dumb, and they still had several large barrels of gunpowder, but the iron projectiles were used up. Han Bai, the vanguard of Yang Hu's army, was unmoved, still waving his flag, and ordered his subordinate troops to attack the city with all their might, regardless of casualties.

The artillery at the head of the city made an earth-shattering loud noise, spitting out gunsmoke, and the flowering shells violently suppressed the attack of Yang Hu's army, and the stone throwers, trench bridges, and ladders continued to gather at the dead corners of the cannons, and stones, fireballs, and poisonous smoke balls continued to be thrown at the city head, and one by one human lives were constantly buried on the battlefield, but no one cared about it at all.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Hu frowned, walking around anxiously, Mu Yun, Tofu Wolf and other cronies and generals stood silently aside, Yang Hu suddenly stopped, and said hatefully: "A mere Tai'an City, it can't be attacked for a long time, and now the artillery is running out, Liu Liu's army is blocked by Yang Ling outside Dezhou City, and it is difficult to move an inch." The worst thing is that the food and grass are about to run out, do I have to give up Tai'an? Unwilling, unwilling! ”

The tofu wolf rolled his eyes and said: "Big brother, otherwise, I will lead all the way to the nearby prefectures and counties to search again, how can the food found be able to support the army for another ten days, we are now sleepy and lacking, but the defenders in Tai'an City may be more difficult, I don't believe it." They will survive ten days."

Mu Yun said: "Big brother, in my opinion, we might as well wave the army south, the south has enough grain and grass, enough to supply our army, if we occupy Nanjing, support a Zhu family royal family as a puppet, the worst can also be ruled by the Jingshi River."

Tofu Wolf sneered: "The surname Mu, it seems that you have taken the land of Shandong, and the nonsense of Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi forming an iron rope to choke the throat of the Jingshi is from your idea, right?" Now that the winner is not scored, you are shouting to go to Jiangnan again."

Mu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Marching and fighting is about improvisation. Our original plan was to seize all the land in Shandong, and then go north to Beijing and kill it. But no one expected that the imperial court would respond so quickly, and their army would no longer follow us in vain advances, but divided the land and defended it, relying on the advantages of the city to contend with us, our advantage lies in the field battle, and the only way to do this is to make another plan."

The tofu wolf scoffed and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm bah! You are a hunter, and you still think you are Zhuge Liang, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you? It's okay if Tai'an takes it down early, it's not that you say anything about surrounding but not fighting, surrounding and pretending to fight, luring the army of Jinan, and now Tai'an has taken it early."

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise!" Yang Hu waved his hand in annoyance, looking outside the tent, the sky was already light, Yang Hu sighed and said, "Order Yi Chenfeng and Li Yeyin's men and horses to immediately cooperate with Han Bai to attack the city with all their might." We fought until dawn, and if Tai'an still couldn't take it, we would immediately withdraw our troops after the rebellion and go south! ”

Seeing that Yang Hu had made a decision, all the generals in the tent said yes.

Yang Hu walked to the door of the tent, looked at the tongue of fire and the sound of rushing and killing in the distance, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Success or failure, it's a battle at this dawn!" ”

****************

"Win or lose, it's a battle at this dawn!"

Boyan can whip very quickly, not only people are covered in hot sweat, but even horses are sweaty and wet manes.

6,000 horsemen, 20,000 horses, thousands of miles of travel, target: Qinghai Lake, a rebellious general with at least 40,000 people.

They marched at least hundreds of miles a day, and in order to ensure their combat strength, they only stopped for half a day when the men and horses were extremely tired. The long-distance blitzkrieg of the Mongol cavalry was vividly wielded by him.

Heavy troops gathered in the Xuanfu Datong area to feint against the Ming Dynasty to hide people's eyes and ears, and led a light horse to run thousands of miles to attack him, this pride, this self-confidence, worthy of Genghis Khan's bloodline. This desperate gamble, and only Boyan Mengke has such courage.

He could not help but make such a choice, defeat would not break him, but in his most difficult time. His cronies led his troops to defect, and if he was not punished soon, he would not be able to restrain the rest of his troops. What's even more terrifying is that Jia Chu Sibu found Manduhai, whose whereabouts have long been unknown, and using her prestige and appeal, the hearts of the nobles who originally belonged to the Manduhai family fluctuated, and some small tribes have quietly surrendered.

If he doesn't solve Gasibu, he will only be able to survive for half a year, and by this winter, the forces that have been painstakingly managed for many years will all collapse. Putting him to death and resurrection, he has only one battle!

War horses galloped, and on the reckless grassland, 10,000 iron horsemen were like a gust of wind. With a thunderous roar, it swept by, startling the birds and beasts in the distance.

As long as there are water and grass, the Mongolians can travel thousands of miles without burden, lightly loaded and fast. The army approached Qinghai Lake, and the sky was still inky. After an hour and a half, they drank all the mare's milk, drank all the water, ate what little food they had left, and then launched a final attack before the first ray of dawn appeared.

The vast Qinghai Lake is still silent in a scene. Between the fish jumping waves, the early cloud gulls skim the water surface, and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore should be echoed with the sound of gulls that sound from time to time, empty and quiet.

There are herds of cattle and sheep in the lakeside fence, the land here is fertile, the vegetation is luxuriant, the birds and animals live like a happy land, it is a vast natural pasture, rich land to be cultivated.

At this moment, the birds in the shallow water grass fluttered their wings and soared, and the roe deer raised its head from the fertile grass, stared at a pair of small black eyes and peeked around vigilantly, and then picked up the fat ** and fled in a panic, and after a moment's effort, a muffled thunder suddenly rolled over from the place where it had just stopped.

Boyan Khan whipped his horse and jumped on his horse, facing the cool wind on Qinghai Lake, the endless yurts were already in front of his eyes, and what he was looking for was the largest one, where the tall Diao Dou flagpole stood in front of the tent. There was a faint thunder in the distance, and the first to alarm were the cows, sheep and sheepdogs, who began to make a chaotic noise.

When the iron cavalry of the Khan of Boyan broke through the outer camp and quickly slammed into the core of the camp, the warriors of Gasibu also got up, hurriedly picked up their swords and guns, and stepped on horseback. They weren't without scouts, there were so many races in this place, and even though Garthb's were the largest of the forces, there were no challengers who couldn't help themselves.

But the raiders were too decisive and too godly, and when the scouts saw them and turned their horses back, they were only a little faster than them. Someone pointed to the place where wolves pounced on the prairie and shouted, "That's it, that's it!" ”

Gasbull looked into the distance, and saw ten thousand horses galloping, rushing wildly, and their momentum was as sharp as an arrow.

Gasb was amazed and surprised: whose centaur is this? Qinghai is the intersection of the two major arteries of the Silk Road and the Tangbo Ancient Road, so there are many races here, including Arabs, Persians, Saluruls, Aerhun, as well as Sisi Tibetans, Virwu, and Tibetans. But their tribe was too scattered, and there was no unified organization at all, and it was impossible for them to gather into such an imposing and uniform iron horse.

The warriors of the various yurts all stepped onto their horses and rushed towards his tent, and more than 6,000 warriors gathered behind him in an instant, and there were horses galloping near and far.

Gasbu smiled with satisfaction, his qualified warriors turned out to be at least 10,000 people, and after arriving at Qinghai Lake, he also sheltered some small tribes of the Tatar and Warat tribes scattered here, and even sheltered some Tibetan warriors.

Since miraculously obtaining the Empress of Manduhai, Gasibu has taken advantage of her prestige to constantly send people to lobby the tribal nobles attached to the Khan of Boyan, and spread all kinds of news unfavorable to Boyan.6 Some tribes have quietly defected to him, and his warlike army is now at least 15,000 men, and he is the greatest force in the whole of Qinghai. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]

"Warriors, rush forward, leave the invading enemy here, and let their bodies enrich our meadowsSibu rode a tall and sturdy Qinghai horse, drew his scimitar and gave the order to fight.

Gasbu is tall and heroic, his face is black and red, the outline is clear like a knife, riding on a horse that is a head higher than the Mongolian horse, waving a knife and pointing at it, the momentum is awe-inspiring, and the two commanders have raised their swords and jumped on the horse, and came out in response. Led the two wolf fangs that his subordinates shot at Garthb, and shouted to meet them.

The soldiers and horses behind also followed suit, and the opponent's soldiers and horses gathered into a sharp blade, but Gasibu's army was like ten thousand arrows shooting, rolling and galloping, looking at the posture, it was enough to swallow the other party, at this moment, the relaxed smile on Gasibu's face suddenly condensed.

The team that rushed from afar was already clearly in sight. In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight was shining above their heads, and there was a big flag in front of them. A hideous wolf head on the banner danced in the wind, as if it wanted to devour people. Gasbu's hands and feet were suddenly cold: the royal banner of the Mongol Great Khan, the totem of the Golden Family, and the one who came was Boyan Khan.

Dressed in leather armor, with an iron helmet on his head and a beard like a halberd, Boyan rushed to the front, and his royal banner was behind him. The news that came back yesterday also said that Boyan Mengke was robbing the Ming border, how could he appear here?

Boyan Mengke's army was boiling with blood, but there was only a cold killing intent in his eyes, the other party had more men and horses than them, but they did not avoid the front and used a flank charge, facing the swarming enemy army, under an order, the snow was bright and a steel knife was dazzling, shining in the sun.

A thunderclap-like cry rang out: "The Great Khan conquers the rebellion, and the servants retreat to avoid death!" Kill! ”

Ghasb's army froze, the war horse was still charging, but the hand holding the reins involuntarily tightened, and the steel knife was still held in the air, but it did not have the momentum like a rainbow.

The time for them to turn their backs on Boyan Mengke was too short, and the deep-rooted obedience psychology and the sacrosanctity of the Golden Family were deep-rooted, and suddenly they were unprepared to see that the object they were going to fight was the Great Khan who they had sworn to obey in the past, and they were suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do.

If the news of the arrival of the Boyan Khan had been received early, and if Gasbu and his loyal generals had been able to mobilize them before the battle, the soldiers who had fully considered their personal and family future should have the courage to fight to the death against the most revered leader in the past, but now at the first sight of the Great Khan, their first reaction was to obey and retreat.

The monstrous waves of more than 10,000 chargers turned into the tide of Qinghai Lake slowly lapping the embankment, Boyan Meng took the lead, holding his treasure knife tightly in his hand, and waved his hand in a low shout, shouting and killing like thunder, his cavalry was like a pair of scissors tearing through a piece of taut cloth, and rushed through the middle of the soldiers who met him, target: Gasibu!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the generals and cronies of Garsb's side immediately drew their swords and horses, and rushed forward with a roar, and the shining scimitar spears collided together in an instant, like waves flooding the reef.

The cavalry of both sides attacked each other, and also used the special chiseling tactics of the Mongol cavalry, like an axe chisel to wedge the core, and the well-trained soldiers on both sides knew how to cooperate with each other and echo each other, with the same courage and good fighting, but the morale of Gasbu's army could not compete with the 6,000 dead soldiers of Boyan Khan in any case.

The horses neighed, the flow of people surged, fierce fighting, swords and spears were wielded, the target of the blocker was the wolf's head flag, the target of the charger was also in that flag, it pointed there, the charger and the blocker met there, under its banner, everywhere were swords and guns wielding hard, and people were constantly falling off their horses in the roar, whether it hurt the vital point or not, falling off the horse was death.

"Kill!"

Let's carry the latest talk

Angry shouting and roaring, Boyan Mengke's eyes were red, a pair of fierce eyes stared at the former powerful subordinates, galloping horses, swords flashing, and countless soldiers fell in front of his horses. Gasbu also personally participated in the battle, carrying a sword and prancing horse, crisscrossing the crowd, both of them were watching each other the most, but because of the dense men and horses, they could not rush together for a while.

In front of them, there are constantly flashes of swords and spears, there are constantly flags and war horses passing by, and the figures who are constantly fighting block each other's sight, but the eyes of the two have never been blocked by them, and they can always find each other's figures in the fastest time.

Boyan fierce treasure knife horizontal, the red sapphire on the knife shines out of the day's confusion, an oncoming knight was cut by him, and then he stepped on the horse's pedal, jumped up with all his might, and charged with the horse's momentum, and slashed down with a knife on the head, splitting the horse's head into two, and laughed loudly in the blood mist in the sky: "Gasbu, come and fight with me!" ”

Garthbo's eyes were red, and he roared like a thunderbolt when he heard the challenge. Turning the horse's head, he clutched the steel knife and rushed towards Bo Yan. The surrounding warriors unconsciously quieted down, and under the wolf's head, they saw the light of the knife like electricity. Thunderbolt thunder, horses like dragons, back and forth, only this pair of heroes.........

****************

The morning sun is like fire, and the sound of killing outside Tai'an City shook the sky.

Yang Hu's siege of the city was in full swing, and he never expected the dawn battle under the city of Tai'an, not with the defenders in the city, but with the reinforcements from all walks of life who suddenly arrived.

He crisscrossed Shandong and rarely encountered decent opponents. When he gathered his troops to attack the city, due to the action of God. However, if the officers and men in various localities want to be transferred, they must obtain the consent of the commander-in-chief, and by the time the commander-in-command and the envoy get the news, he will already be far away. The officers and men were never as fast as he marched, so he never encountered a decent opponent.

This time, the troops besieged Tai'an City, which lasted for half a month, and he also considered whether the imperial court would mobilize reinforcements to attack, so there were Tanma forty miles away from the main transportation arteries outside Tai'an City. As soon as he has the situation, he will report it immediately, and with his current strength and the degree of athletic warfare, it will be easy to choose a fight or leave calmly.

However, this possibility is very small, because the local soldiers in Shandong are now stationed in various cities, and if they do not transfer troops from other provinces, they will send these men and horses to attack themselves, so they will have to risk jumping out of the encirclement and counterattacking other empty cities. He lost the battle, but he only killed some soldiers and horses, and the court lost the battle and lost the city. The coach has to go to prison, he doesn't believe anyone dares to be so crazy.

But such a madman just came, and Yang Ling actually transferred all the soldiers who were far away in Qingzhou. Most of the soldiers of the imperial court were infantry, and according to the usual situation, when their men and horses arrived, they had already put the army in order, everyone had a full meal, sang a little song, and left leisurely. But what was even crazier was that Yang Ling actually mobilized all the cavalry in all armies to fight in the front battle, and the follow-up brigade infantry couldn't even see a shadow.

So Yang Hu was shocked and laughed when he heard the news, he really couldn't imagine that the cavalry guarding each city was usually only 3,000 people, and such a small group of cavalry separated from the brigade to fight or to die?

But he couldn't laugh anymore soon, because Yang Ling transferred all the cavalry, and the degree was not slower than his Yang Hu's probing horse, and when his people rushed back to report the news, all the cavalry also arrived at the same time.

Their men and horses arrived almost at the same time, from different places, different roads, but at the same time appeared in the same place, and even some distant places, such as Qingzhou all the way to the soldiers and horses, along the way constantly holding the military orders of the governor of Qincha, along the way to collect and control the cavalry of each city, when they gathered near Tai'an City, a cavalry team of 28,000 people had been formed. With the help of the nearby mountainous terrain, such a team was enough to withstand at least five rounds of charges from the white-clothed army.

Xujialou, Qiujiadian, Taipingzhuang, Laoquekou ......, the momentum is so fast, they occupy the important intersection around Tai'an, without waiting for Yang Hu to react, immediately began to sprinkle tribulus terrestris on the road, place antler wood, and then dig a horse pit, set up a horse rejecting gun......

The soldiers and gods have already done it, but what is the matter with not taking advantage of the mobile attack, but putting on this defensive posture? Could it be that they wanted to march fast with cavalry, quickly seize all the key roads with the same nimble maneuverability, and then fortify and wait for the infantry to arrive? Is that too late? Yang Hu was puzzled by the strange actions of officers and soldiers from all walks of life.

Yang Hu decided not to think about it, he decided to leave. Where to go? In all directions, except for the empty road in Jinan, there is not a single ghost, and the other roads are all blocked by officers and soldiers. This time, the generals under his account all said: "If you don't take this road, there must be an ambush!" ”

The hero sees the same thing, Yang Hu also means this, since he has already decided to go south and go to the south of the Yangtze River to show, it is just right to be implemented at this moment, Yang Hu decided to gather troops to break through from Taipingdian, and then choose the road to kill out of Shandong and go south.

The horses shuttled and flew to report to Yang Ling the movements of Yang Hu's army, Yang Ling and the cavalry in the Jinan garrison converged, and now there were about 8,000 elite horsemen, quietly waiting behind a hillside on the side of the road. Yang Ling stood on the slope, looking at the firelight under the city of Tai'an, and listening to the report of Tanma.

Hearing that Yang Hu had stopped attacking the city, Adney hurriedly said: "Get up and charge, use your three thousand iron horsemen, tear a gap, and then throw a large number of grenades, causing them internal chaos, take this opportunity to order all soldiers and horses to attack together, and the bandit army will be defeated."

Yang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Wait! ”

After a while, there was another return from the horse: Yang Hu's army was transferred, and looking at the direction of its movement, it was to escape from Taipingzhuang, and the siege troops were retreating and gathering.

At this time, even the two guerrilla generals who commanded the cavalry were also anxious, they looked at Yang Ling eagerly, Yang Ling smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, wait."

Hand-typed novels, hand-typed novels, textual novels, all here

Adney's plan is good, but the improvised troops have one of the biggest weaknesses: they don't want to be subordinate, and integration is unfavorable. Although Yang Ling had expected it, he had already ordered the selection of several generals to serve as commanders among the cavalry teams sent by various ministries. This is this kind of temporary integration, once it encounters the crazy counterattack of the bandit army, it is difficult to predict whether it will collapse the army, and he does not dare to take this risk.

He can give a death order and order the reinforcements from all walks of life to behead their main generals before they arrive overdue, but he can't be unreasonable to stipulate that any reinforcements along the way will be beheaded if they fail. The first battle must be fought by oneself, fought beautifully and neatly, and the downhill tiger was beaten into a water dog, and all kinds of reinforcements could immediately turn from a Laipi dog into a group of vicious wolves.

Reborn comes from morale, and what the Ming army lacks is morale. Take a closer look, in addition to the cold and calm of his iron cavalry subordinates, the officers and soldiers of Dezhou and Jinan are somewhat apprehensive, this is still their own personal escort, and the mentality of the other reinforcements can be imagined. Prompting reinforcements from all walks of life to rush to attack can only turn into a bad battle.

But what about the White Coats? What kind of army is the White Army?

A sneer tugged at the corner of Yang Ling's mouth, and he said lightly: "They can fight a hard battle, but they can't fight a hard battle." Ruthless and hard are two different things, ruthless outlaws do not mean that they do not spare their lives, when they feel hopeless, they will run away. People who can fight tough battles, spare their lives and are not afraid of death, never speak lightly of failure, military discipline is as strict as iron, the white-clothed army is a gang of bandits, can they do it? ”

Yang Ling put his hands behind his back and said leisurely: "Xin Guixi, the border army suddenly purged the army and transferred it during the battle, if there are 100,000 people, how long will it take?" ”

Xin Guixi was the commander of his 3,000 iron cavalry, a guerrilla in the border army, he was stunned, thought for a moment, and then said cautiously: "The military order is issued to the whole army, the assembly and rectification are completed, and the camp is set up...... It will take about an hour."

Yang Ling smiled and said: "The border army is well-trained, and it will take an hour for the 100,000 army to gather, not to mention this group of bandits who don't know military discipline?" The siege is not down, and the momentum has declined; Suddenly, he was trapped, and the army's heart was unstable; Assemble in a hurry, and the formation will be chaotic! The upper sprout retreats, and the lower wants to escape, at this time stab it in the heart, hum! ”

The first rays of sunlight have shone on the top of the mountain, and suddenly there is a light in front of me, the mountains are green and the trees are green, and there is a different kind of brightness. Immediately, the first rays of sunlight were obscured by the clouds, and the light that had appeared at first dimmed again.

Yang Ling said in a loud voice: "Guerrilla Xin, order your men and horses to charge, take advantage of the fact that his army is unable to launch an effective attack formation, quickly cut open their stomachs, get in and throw grenades everywhere, and blow him up on his back!" If one battalion is in chaos, the whole battalion will be in chaos, and if a hundred horses are frightened, ten thousand horses will be frightened, and at that time they will no longer be able to prevent an effective counterattack except to break and flee all the way."

Xin Guixi arched his hand and said solemnly: "Obey the general's order!" Then he flicked his robe and strode down the mountain. A strange cloth bag was embroidered on his stumbling silk silk, grid by grid, and a row of short wooden handles were inserted into the grid, which swayed gently with the movements of his body, and looked a little heavy.

Peng Xiaochao held a black cannon barrel, glanced at Yang Ling in a ghostly manner, and saw that he didn't pay attention to himself at all, so he also tiptoed down.

Yang Ling recruited the generals of the armies of Dezhou and Jinan, and discussed with the two for a long time, and the two of them were ordered to leave, Yang Ling smiled at Adney and said: Let's go up again, see clearly .........".

What the? ”

"Look at the 100,000 army falling like a mountain!"

Rest assured, I've always felt that the number of chargers is a bit thin," Adeney sighed.

Yang Ling said disapprerovingly: "What is there to worry about? Fighting a war is not only about punching and kicking weapons, but also about fighting psychology and human nature, and I also observed and tasted the combat style and quality of the soldiers all the way, so I dare to be so sure."

Yang Ling took his woman's warm and soft little hand and said triumphantly: "Besides, the words and deeds of the commander of the army are seen by his subordinates, so the more he is in the face of the big battle, the more calm he must be." You see, that high mountain over there is the first mountain in the world. As a coach, you must have the psychological quality of Taishan collapsing forward and not changing color. ”

Boom~~! There was a loud bang, and the ground under his feet trembled. It just so happened that the thick clouds drifted away from the sky, and thousands of rays of sunlight fell suddenly, and the eyes were clear, as if the thunder shook the sky open a crack.

Yang Lingyi grabbed Adney's arm and said in shock: What is the voice? ”
