Chapter Eighty-Seven: Things Have Changed

Lu Jiu rushed out with the left team of cavalry a step ahead. In the event of a sneak attack, you either stand still and brake quietly, or take the initiative to attack and fight slowly with speed. Ordinary people definitely choose the former, but Lu Jiu was born as a horse thief, and he was very bold and unrestrained in fighting, so he chose the latter.

Of course, this is not Lu Jiu's blind brute force, Leng Chong slammed into it. In addition to his own battlefield intuition, he dared to take the initiative to attack, but also based on the judgment of the previous reconnaissance results of the Tanma for more than ten miles in the vicinity. Except for Jinghai City on the edge of the Wei River, which is still a little popular, the surrounding area is almost lifeless, not to mention the large number of sneak attack troops.

Unlike Lu Jiu, Liu Quan's first thought was that he would only be safe by Li Xin's side, even if he escaped, with this seemingly ruthless and decisive envoy, the chances of success would be much greater.

"Envoy, enemy attack!"

When Li Xin first heard the enemy's attack, he was also nervous, and there were a lot of people coming when he heard the momentum, and then he looked at the fires all over the mountains, the scale was really terrifying. If this was an ambush for the Tartars, he would have thrown himself into the net, but he immediately rejected this idea, and the scout had repeatedly combed it before, and there was no room for a large number of Tartars to hide. So whose team are these people?

"Everyone put out the torches, Liu Shen will bring you and someone with me!"

Although Li Xin thought that this could not be a Tartar, he could not help but prepare for the worst. Li Xin had an order, and although Liu Quan was unwilling to take risks, he had to organize people and dispatch them. In this way, Lu Jiu led the left cavalry to the front, and Li Xin led thousands of cavalry to go over from the flanks.

There are flat rivers on the left and right for dozens of miles on the side of the Wei River, which is a good place for cavalry to maneuver in a wide range and detour. In the process of detouring, Li Xin and his people strangely found that although the night was as dark as ink, and his more than 1,000 cavalry were not without signs to follow, the light of the other party's torches did not move accordingly.

Is the opposing commander not aware or ......

With the kung fu of electric light, Li Xin maneuvered to the flank of a piece of fire, but the scene that was getting closer and closer made Li Xin stunned. Where is this large-scale enemy attack, it is clear that the enemy is bluffing. The torches were firmly planted on the ground, and the north wind was burning as if they were smirking at them.

"Don't stop, keep going!"

Li Xin gave the order again, since he was bluffing, it must be false and real, and he exposed the other party's old bottom, so it is better to have another salary from the bottom of the kettle. The number of enemies should not be much, and the main general of the opponent can be regarded as brave and strategic, but after all, it is a bad move, and he encounters a cavalry that dares to take the initiative.

Sure enough, after crossing the large swaths of bravado, the true face of this group of people of unknown origin is revealed. Qing Yishui's infantry gathered together in a clear and eye-catching manner, and there was a line of chaos in front of the formation, thinking that Lu Jiu's cavalry left team had already fought with them.

But this group of people seemed to be stupid in the face of the sudden arrival of Li Xin's army, and they didn't even have time to react, but they turned around in a daze after hearing the roar of horses' hooves, and saw that the cavalry was getting tighter and tighter, but they didn't react.

At the same time, Li Xin also found some clues, these people are not Tartars at all, under the firelight, he can clearly see the complete hair bun of the opposing soldiers, and the clothes and armor are also in the style of the Ming army. But even the Ming army can't be so bad, and it reacts so slowly in the face of a flank raid. If it weren't for the previous bluff that was remarkable, this would be a rabble.

Finally, as if protesting against Li Xin's contempt, the group began to move. Li Xin was surprised to find that these rabble could actually turn around in a queue, this discovery surprised him, he was only like this when he was training people in Gaoyang City before, who was leading this team?

Li Xin has already silently begun to enter the countdown, no matter who this team is, since they dare to sneak attack at night, the possibility of being an enemy is extremely great, and this time they will definitely pass through the formation and beat him up.

But at this critical moment, a person rushed out of the opposing military formation, waving the Ming battle flag and shouting something, how could the horse's hooves roar, and how could the north wind hunt hear clearly. The sudden opponent's army shouted together, and he heard it clearly.

"It's all the Ming army, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Li Xin scolded secretly, it was a misunderstanding to speak only at this juncture, what do you say about the torch array you carefully arranged.

"Leave them alone, rush!"

With Li Xin's words, Liu Quan did not hesitate anymore, and rushed forward behind Li Xin with one mind. Suddenly, Li Xin's pupils contracted, and a familiar figure was reflected in his pupils. The person before the battle didn't dare, and who was it!

After a half-month farewell from Suning, he didn't expect this person to come to the vicinity of Tianjin Wei.

Li Xin waved his hand this time, and the cavalry turned. The cavalry of the Shandong Army was worthy of the well-trained Liu Zeqing's own army, and immediately turned like a flood flowing into a trough, and swept lightly in front of the formation.

It wasn't until they went around the flank of the other side and pulled a long enough distance that the army stopped.

I saw that the one who dared to trot followed, and he couldn't hear what he was shouting with his mouth open and closed.

After a few moments, Zeng Dare finally caught up.

"General Lee..."

Li Xin initially ordered him to take the people to leave Suning with the Tatar army, and there was another purpose, that is, to let him take the people away from the front line of the Baoding River, after all, the Tartar soldiers were very limited in the looting of the east, and when the war was over, everyone could save their lives to rebuild their homes.

Looking at Zeng Dare at this time, it has not been more than a month, and the spirit of the original secondary two teenagers has been swept away, and what is hanging on his face is the vicissitudes of life that do not match his age and experience. I can't help but sigh that war can change a person's destiny and can also make people mature quickly.

The two armies did not have time to greet each other, and Lu Jiu was still in the midst of a fierce battle, so Li Xin immediately sent someone to give the order to stop the battle.

"Brother Zeng, who are you?"

As soon as everything was arranged, Li Xin made time to ask carefully.

It turned out that when Zeng dared to arrive in Cangzhou near the Weihe River with thousands of people that day, he dispersed birds and beasts according to the prior agreement to get rid of the following Tartars. Later, they reunited on the east bank of the Wei River, and at that time, according to the majority of the people, they went back to General Li to kill the Tartars to avenge the villagers. The enthusiasm of the people to fight against the Tartars was very high, but Zeng Dare felt that Li Xin might not want them to go back at this moment, even if everyone forcibly went back, they might become oil bottles, so it was better for everyone to take shelter on the east bank of the Wei River, which was relatively safe.

Unexpectedly, a few days after An's birthday, a large number of refugees came from the north along the Wei River, and they were meeting Zeng Dang's group. I dared to ask carefully, that group of people was actually from Jinghai County, a few days ago somehow hundreds of Tartars came into the city to carry out a sneak attack, but this Jinghai County was occupied by the Tartars in just half a day, and the county ordered that dozens of officials were all beheaded and displayed to the public.

Soon after, the Tartars began to plunder the people, livestock, and property outside the city, and the people had to gather together and flee south.

Hearing that only a few hundred Tartars had occupied a county town guarded by city walls, he dared to be extremely angry, and the second lieutenant occupied the high ground again, first scolding the county commander for being stupid and incompetent, and then scolding the soldiers of the guards for their low combat effectiveness. But after all, the county order was a martyr for the country, sacrificed his life, and was a loyal martyr. After Zeng dared to scold, he suddenly had a bold idea.

Zeng dared to dissect the shape of the eyes with extremely seductive words, proving that the Tartars in Jinghai City were not to be feared, and the confluence of the two groups of people was enough to tens of thousands, that is, one person could drown the Tartars with a mouthful of foam, and the whole army of ants attached to the siege of the city Tartars had no defensive power at all.

Instead of fleeing from their hometowns, everyone should follow his dare to take back the lost county seat.

Under Zeng Dare's soft grinding and hard bubbles, everyone finally unified their opinions, and the original thousands of people plus the people who fled south, and tens of thousands of people went north in a mighty way. However, Zeng Dare did not really rush hard, and the ants attacked the city. Li Xin had bluffed outside Suning to scare Akzia, and he decided to do the same, lighting torches all over the field in the middle of the night, while the people shouted and shouted to create a situation of a large army besieging the city.

The Tartars in the city didn't know what to think, and quietly withdrew from Jinghai City that night. When the day dawned and the siege was ready, the remnants of the city opened the gates and welcomed them into the city. In this way, it did not take a single soldier to recover the county seat of Jinghai.

Zeng dared to have the prestige of recovering the Jinghai, so he was elected by the fathers and elders in the city to temporarily lead everyone to fight against the Tartars.

Until Li Xin's cavalry went straight to Jinghai, it really made the people in Jinghai City nervous for a while, whether this group of cavalry was a Tartar or a Ming army, they could not be allowed to enter the city.

In the end, Zeng Dare decided to repeat the old trick, ready to scare Li Xin and the others away with a bluff, but he thought that the people were not Li Xin's opponents at all, and he was exposed in just one round.

After listening to Zeng Kang's description, Li Xin sighed lightly, Zeng Kang still lacked experience, and thought about war as a child's play.

He dared to invite the army into the city but was rejected by Li Xin, and finally the cavalry crossed the Wei River and camped outside Jinghai City, and the people in the city can be regarded as a trend that can be echoed inside and outside, and it is really not easy for anyone to attack the city again.

When the day dawned, the people in the city brought cooked beef and mutton and steamed rice to Li Xin's subordinates to serve as a labor army. Just when people were bustling, someone pointed to the north of Weihe.

"Look, there's a fleet!"

Everyone raised their eyes, and sure enough, two boats, one large and one small, were going down the river, and several flags on the bow of the boat were waving in the wind.

The people came to the shore to see the strangeness, Zhou Jin and Li Xin also followed the people to the shore to see the liveliness, after the winter the canal was frozen, and there was a war again, and there were few boats in the Weihe River going south.

When the fleet approached, Zhou Jin let out a "huh", and his face showed a dumb look.
