Li Li Rabbit led the Tatar cavalry to stay in Huamachi for a day, and the next day it was not until the third pole of the sun that he pulled out the camp and set off for Pingyu City. With the speed of the Tatar cavalry, this distance could be reached in half a day, but the rabbit and the people walked on the road for two days, and it was not until the evening of the third day that they arrived near Biyun's camp.

Biyun, who was already looking forward to it, heard that the rabbit had arrived, and hurriedly led the generals out of the camp to greet him. The rabbit asked his subordinates to set up camp two or three miles away from the Biyun camp, and as soon as the Chinese army's tent was completed, he heard that Biyun and his party came to visit.

"Let them in." Li Rabbit sat down behind his case, and commanded his own soldiers.

Biyun took Ma Zhengguo, Saihan and several other generals into the military tent of the rabbit, and saluted the rabbit: "The last general will see the leader of the rabbit." ”

"You're Biyun?" The rabbit glanced lazily at Biyun and asked.

"The last general is Biyun." Biyun replied helplessly, now is the time to beg someone, and he can only use his hot face to stick to the other party's cold ass.

Li Rabbit finally didn't want to do things perfectly, he nodded, and said to the left and right: "Come on, show a few generals a seat." ”

The soldiers brought the mat and spread it on the ground, and Biyun and the others knelt on the mat according to the Mongolian custom, waiting for the rabbit to ask questions.

"How far is it from Pingyu City?" Rabbit asked.

"Twenty miles." Biyun replied.

"How many Ming troops are still in Pingyu City?" The rabbit asked again.

Biyun said: "It's about five thousand." ”

"How come there are about five thousand?" The rabbit seemed a little surprised.

Biyun was surprised by the unexpected divine emotion of Li Tu, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "Great leader, our army has not fought against the Ming army in Pingyu City in the past two days, so the Ming army has not attrition. ”

"I heard that the leader of this great army is coming to attack the city, didn't the Ming army abandon the city and flee?" Rabbit asked.

"Uh......" Biyun was speechless, and he suddenly understood why the rabbit was grinding and turning one day's journey into two days. It turned out that Li Rabbit fantasized that Xiao Ruxun would run away when he heard the wind, so he deliberately left time for the other party to escape.

"Back to the big leader, Xiao Ruxun, the guard general of Pingyu City, has a strong personality, and he has already released his words, saying that he wants to live and die with Pingyu City, so although he heard that the big leader led the hero to come, he still wants to resist stubbornly. In the past few days, taking advantage of the opportunity that the big leader has not yet come, the Ming army in Pingyu City has built fortifications outside the city, trying to make trouble for the big leader to attack the city. Biyun replied.

"This Han dog who doesn't know the times, does he really want to use a lonely city to stop the leader of this great city?" The rabbit said stupidly.

Focus on rabbits, this is also considered to be smart, but it was mistaken by cleverness. He originally thought that Xiao Ruxun had insufficient troops and did not dare to stick to the lonely city, so while slowing down the pace of the march, he made a big fanfare, hoping that Xiao Ruxun could get the news that he would go to attack Pingyu City, so he abandoned the city and fled. Who would have thought that Xiao Ruxun had already made up his mind to defend the city, and he tried to grind like this, but instead gave the defenders of Pingyu City time to prepare. These days. Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao commanded the Ming army to build trenches, dig horse pits, and erect horse rejection outside the city, which was equivalent to adding another screen to Pingyu City.

"Great Chief, you see, when is the most appropriate time for us to start attacking Pingyu City?" Biyun didn't dare to expose the shortcomings of the rabbit. He digressed from the topic and asked about the battle arrangements instead.

Li Rabbit said: "Since the Ming army is looking for death by itself, then we don't have to be polite." Sleep well for the whole army tonight, and tomorrow morning. The leader of the great army will personally lead the army to break the city. ”

"Then the general will leave first, and at the end of tomorrow, he will lead his headquarters to fight with the big leader, and admire the majestic posture of the big leader." Biyun said.

Early the next morning. The rabbit pointed out 10,000 cavalry, showed off his might, and killed Pingyu City. With 3,000 remnants of his army, he followed the Tatar cavalry and marched towards the city of Pingyu. The Tatar cavalry came from afar, not carrying siege equipment, and the Ningxia army of Biyun was idle these days, but prepared a lot of ladders, shields, crash vehicles and the like, and this time they also brought them with them. Li Rabbit and Biyun have a common judgment, that is, the Ming army will definitely not go out of the city to meet the battle, but will hide in the city in order to use the city wall to resist the onslaught of the cavalry.

However, they were wrong. When Litu and Biyun came to the outside of Pingyu City, they were surprised to find that the Ming army did not retreat in the city, but set up a lineup outside the city, looking at the plane, it was intended to have a field battle with the Tatar cavalry.

Unlike the last time against Biyun, this time, the Pingyu and Kanyu battalions almost poured out, sending a team of 4,000 people, and the width of the front of the position was more than two miles. In the position, the cavalry and musketeers were staggered, and at regular intervals, a large cart with a van was erected, and it was unknown what was loaded on the cart. In front of the position, there were pig iron welded horses, which were used to defend against the charge of the enemy cavalry.

In the middle of the position, two large flags were planted, one with the word "Xiao" and the other with the word "Su". Under the handsome banner, there are two officers on horseback, one is in his forties, with big shoulders and a round waist, and his face is like a heavy jujube, which is undoubtedly Xiao Ruxuan, and the other is unusually young, his figure looks a little weak, and his face is a little relaxed. If it weren't for the battle robe on his body, Li Rabbit would almost suspect that this person was a clerk with the army.

"Who is that young man?" The rabbit asked to Biyun.

Biyun said: "This person's name is Su Hao, and he was sent by the Ministry of War last year. It is said that this person was deeply favored by the saints, and the year before last, he led troops to fight the Japanese in Huai'an Mansion. Those new firecrackers were used by his subordinates. ”

"Such a little doll defeated a veteran like General Bishen?" Rabbit said disdainfully.

"That's all because the last general underestimated the enemy...... Biyun defended quietly, but he was extremely annoyed in his heart. He vaguely hoped that Su Hao would be able to make some strange moves, and it was best to make the Rabbit suffer a loss, so that the Rabbit would have no face to be embarrassed in front of him again. However, he also felt that in the face of the 10,000 cavalry of the rabbit, Su Hao would probably not be able to return to the sky even if he had three heads and six arms.

"Listen to the Ming army on the other side, I am the great leader of the Tatar tribe, Litu, and I am invited by the prince of Ningxia Town to mediate the conflict between you. The leader of this great has the virtue of a good life, and he does not want to hurt people's lives more. As long as you hand over the city, the leader of this great will promise to let you withdraw safely, and you will not be hurt by a hair. The leader of this great army will keep his word and will never break his word. The rabbit drove forward, and shouted loudly at Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao. At this juncture, he still has the idea of surrendering without a fight.

Hearing the words of the rabbit, Xiao Ruxun urged his war horse, and also walked out of the formation, and responded loudly: "Rabbit, worship and rebel, I will never allow him." I advise you not to aid in the abuse, or when my soldiers are overwhelmed, your Tatars will be burned with the Biaobai. It's too late for you to leave now, don't blame General Ben for being unpredictable. ”

Li Rabbit smiled: "Haha, it turns out that General Xiao has become the chief soldier, congratulations." Mr. Xiao, do you think that with your thousands of men and horses in Pingyu City, you can resist my 10,000 iron cavalry? I don't know when the GIs of your Ming army will arrive. But I know that if you are obsessed with not abandoning the city, then you and your soldiers will die here today. ”

"Ten thousand iron horsemen?" Xiao Ruxun pretended to be stupid and said, "How did I hear that the Great Leader of the Rabbit brought 20,000 people here?" Why, you want to defeat our army with 10,000 men? ”

"I think 10,000 people is too much, I Tartar iron ride, one is ten, don't try to block the car with the mantis arm!" The rabbit was annoyed, the party with 5,000 people actually dared to laugh at the small number of 10,000 people, was Xiao Ruxun stupid?

"Big leader, don't talk nonsense with him, Xiao Ruxun is a person who has eaten the scales and is hard-hearted. The big leader should give orders quickly and step into the enemy formation in one fell swoop. Biyun listened anxiously in the back, and couldn't help but step forward to remind the rabbit.

Li Tu nodded, turned his horse's head and returned to his position, and instructed the deputy general Cha Gan: "Transfer three thousand people, line up and prepare to charge." ”

Three thousand people is three thousand, and with the idea of focusing on rabbits, the other party is only four thousand, and there are only a few cavalry among them, most of them are infantry. He sent 3,000 cavalry to charge into formation, and basically a charge could break up the opponent's formation. Once the two sides fell into a melee, the Tatar cavalry did not dare to say that one was ten, and as for one as five, there was no problem, and the infantry of the Ming army was simply a target for the Tatars to practice chopping.

Cha Gan agreed, called three thousand households, and asked them to start the formation with their headquarters. The Tatar cavalry, who had not been hit, consciously retreated to the rear, leaving the charge to three thousand men.

"Check your horses and scimitars, don't go wrong. We are now five hundred paces away from the Ming army, and when we rush to two hundred and fifty paces, we will begin to accelerate. The Ming army has a kind of firearm that can hit very far, and it can hurt people at a distance of 300 steps, so everyone rushes as fast as possible, so that the Ming army has no chance to release the gun. Chagan repeatedly told the soldiers who were preparing to go into battle, and this was also a lesson from Biyun.

When the Tatar cavalry saw that the Ming army on the opposite side was so small in number, they all became contemptuous. Cha Gan's advice, they just regarded it as a routine explanation, and they didn't take it to heart. For the Ming army's firearms, they have also seen it in the past, and they know that it has a certain lethality, but the defect is that the interval between ignition and firing is too long. In the eyes of these Tatar cavalrymen, it was really the most ridiculous thing to use fire to block their own charge.

"Ready, wait for my orders......" Chagan raised his hand and made a gesture of order.

The Tatar cavalry was divided into a dozen rows, one by one slightly bent down, ready to urge the horses forward.

At this time, the carriages of the carts on the Ming army's position on the opposite side suddenly all put down, revealing dozens of black holes in the muzzles. (To be continued......)
