At present, Guide Mansion is full of thieves, where most of them are going, where the old camp is, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen are also difficult to judge and determine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are many thieves and horsemen, and it is difficult for the sentry to detect their specific movements, and they are riding in large groups, and they seem to be rushing to Xuzhou and Fengyang Mansion in the south of Zhili, but there are some sentry horses in return, and they are still in the territory of Guide Mansion.

These can be ignored first, and the thieves in Suizhou, Zhecheng, Ningling and other places that are specifically explored can be exterminated first.

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen were very confident in the combat effectiveness of their subordinates, of course, they also had worries, that is, they were afraid that the thieves would have artillery, after all, the dense gun array, the most feared was the enemy's artillery bombardment.

Both of them have intelligence, the thieves everywhere, are very careful to collect artillery, the legend is that the Yongning Hou Wang Dou played a lesson, all the way east to the Defu, they have encountered thieves using part of the fire, three-eyed guns, bird guns, etc., but did not see the army carrying artillery.

Cao Bianjiao asked Li Zhenting carefully, and Li Zhenting said that the thieves attacked the city for more than half a month, and they did not use artillery bombardment, but their own artillery arrows, killing many thieves and horses.

The two of them put their hearts at ease, and on the eighth day of the first month, they began to clear out the thieves from all over the Defu, and the thunder swept away......

On the tenth day of the first month, Zhecheng.

"Ah, the officers and soldiers are here, it's the cavalry of Cao and Wang......"

On the flat wilderness, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and more than 30,000 rogues and infantry soldiers all looked at the ground in front of them, the iron horses swept by the tide like a tide, and the fiery red armor was like a red ocean.

Looking at the momentum of the mountains and seas, many thieves are gasping. Feet trembling.

Looking at the horses behind them and on both flanks, although the officers and soldiers cavalry rushed straight to the frontal formation, they were ready to flee at any time.

"Arrows, arrows."

The thieves in the array, only some people, shot sparse arrows, or some people hit the three-eyed guns and birds, and then saw the power of the iron cavalry charging into the formation, fear instantly spread in everyone's hearts, it was not a person. They can all form formations on the plains to face the cavalry onslaught.

"Ahh

They are far away. Just shoot arrows and release guns, and it doesn't matter if you hit it or not.

Seeing the cavalry rolling and rushing like a stormy wave, they collapsed in an instant. Howling and running back. The infantry that formed a spear formation in the rear was disorganized. Then the whole step formation was in chaos.

"Boom."

The tidal wave of cavalry rushed into the formation, turning the footsteps of these rogues into patches of bloody alleys. Look at those thieves and horses, they have already run away......

On the 11th, Luyi.

"Ah, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Bianjiao......"

"It's the king's courtier......"

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen led the cavalry under the battalion, and in a short period of time, they extinguished many bandits in Guide Mansion, and the infantry under their command, as well as the local officers and soldiers of the prefecture and the brave society of the township, only had time to follow behind to collect the fruits of victory.

The situation is very good, and after successively sweeping away many thieves in the west and southwest of the province, both of them think that they can march towards the east of the Guide Mansion and the southeast where the thieves are more concentrated.

Sixteenth.

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen led a large army under their command and marched towards Xiayi, they were still cavalry to open the way, infantry followed, gathered there, the thieves were less footmen, and the horsemen were more, but the two of them combined with the cavalry, reaching more than 5,000 horses, it was very easy, and they defeated the thieves' horse team.

On the 17th day of August in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, they entered the territory of Yongcheng.

It is rumored that this is the land of Han Xing, at the end of Qin, Han Gaozu Liu Bangyi released the prisoner, cut the snake and started the incident, based on Mangdang Mountain, created the imperial industry of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, the north of Yongcheng County is not far away, it is the famous Mangdang Mountain.

There were more thieves and horsemen gathered here, and the two of them scattered a group of enemy horses, and after chasing for more than ten miles, suddenly Cao Bianjiao frowned, and a faint bad feeling came to his heart.

How similar is the current situation to the Battle of Ningzhou back then? That year, his uncle Cao Wenzhao fell into Li Zicheng's ambush and died in battle.

Look at the surrounding situation, the rogue horsemen, not only in front, but even on the wings and rear, there are a lot, they rush all the way, but it is unknown, the front and back are all thieves and horses.

"Stop!"

Cao Bianjiao shouted suddenly, and immediately rolled the cavalry, stopped, and some horses still snorted from time to time.

Wang Tingchen said: "General Xiao Cao, what's wrong?" ”

The knights next to the two of them were all looking at them.

As the knights of the main barracks, they all have armor, wearing a long dark red armor, wearing a cloud-winged helmet, because the armor is inlaid with armor leaves, so on the armor surface, there are dense copper nail armor bubbles, between the arms of each knight, there are also arms.

These knights, all of them behaved fiercely, because they followed Cao Bianjiao and others to fight in Datong, Shaanxi, Liaodong, they came from complex sources, there are Liaodong people, there are Datong people, there are also Shaanxi, Henan people, but follow for a long time, all of them are loyal.

They are divided into killer teams and firearms teams, and the killer teams are combined with all kinds of cold weapons except for archers.

The firearms team is a three-eyed gun, wrapped around the tip of an iron nail, into a three-eyed mace, after fire, can be raised to hit the enemy's head, of course, immediately use the three-eyed gun, the hit rate is very poor, often false shots, very difficult to get accurate.

However, compared to the bird gun, these horse knights are used to using three-eyed guns, and many people have good accuracy when they release guns immediately.

Cao Bianjiao looked around in front of him and said solemnly: "Brother Wang, we can't move forward anymore...... We may have been ambushed. ”

Wang Tingchen looked around suspiciously: "Zhongfu, I didn't find an ambush, besides, how can I hide an ambush in this plain?" ”

Cao Bianjiao shook his head: "It's an ambush, their ambush, I'm afraid it's a distance range from the county, the thieves are cunning, and they have invested a lot of money." ”

Wang Tingchen looked around again, surprised.

Sure enough, not long after, the sentinels in their army rushed back, and from the side of Yongcheng County, countless thieves and horsemen rushed in, and behind the horsemen, there were endless foot soldiers and hungry soldiers.

Not only that, from the boundary of Dangshan County, the area of Mangdang Mountain, and even the boundary of Haozhou, there are cloud-like horses and infantry, directly into the rear of the army, maybe they can be encircled today, looking at their appearance, they want to besiege the army on the plain of Xiayi and Yongcheng.

The two of them looked ugly, it seems that they have entered the main circle of thieves, where to go?

If you want to choose the best plan, of course, the cavalry immediately turns back to Defu City, the encirclement of the thieves, before and after, the route schedule is different, and it is not so tight that the cavalry can't run out.

It's just that the cavalry can run, what about the infantry?

From Yongcheng back to Guide City, the road is more than 200 miles, and the infantry has not run far, they will be caught up by the thieves' horse team, and besides, once the infantry is defeated, no matter how strong the combat power is, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

The two of them have a new barracks under their command, and how much effort they have condensed, how can they just give up?

But if you have to return with the synchronized soldiers, you will march slowly, and you will inevitably be surrounded by thieves in the end.

The thieves are 700,000. (To be continued.) )
