Chapter 120: The Arrogant Rebels
Although the cavalry of the Yu family army had already traveled a long way this morning, and then there was another fierce battle, they immediately began to rest on the spot after the battle just now, and both the horses and the personnel were given a certain amount of rest and recuperation.
However, the rebel cavalry led by Chen Shi, although they did not run much today, came from the side of Laizhou City, and they had traveled nearly ten miles at a rapid pace, and the war horses had begun to get a little tired after running such a long distance.
In this way, the cavalry of the Yu family army was regarded as waiting for work, and after the arrival of the rebel cavalry, they began to flee, although the rebels were so angry that they desperately urged the war horses, but they were never able to catch up with this group of Fujian cavalry.
Chen sometimes realized this problem after chasing for a while, and knew that he might not be able to catch up with these Fujian cavalry today, and wanted to give up the pursuit, but those Fujian cavalry seemed to deliberately mock them, and as soon as they saw the rebel cavalry slow down, they immediately slowed down, and as soon as the rebel cavalry stopped, they also stopped.
The Fujian cavalry did this, which angered all the rebels, Chen was sometimes an old general of the Dongjiang Army, and he was also a fierce general at the beginning, where could he stand this kind of anger!
What's more, in recent months, their rebels have never been defeated against the officers and soldiers, and they will win every battle, which has also greatly fueled their arrogance, this group of rebel elite cavalry, the upper and lower people do not take these Fujian generals in their eyes at all, even if these Fujian cavalry killed them just now, but those people and horses are not their core elite, just some miscellaneous soldiers, defeated by these Fujian cavalry, there is nothing to fear.
Now that the Fujian cavalry is teasing them so much and making them angry to death, Chen sometimes gritted his teeth and swore that even if he chased them to the ends of the earth today, he would definitely catch up with this group of damned Fujian cavalry and kill none of them.
So more than 1,000 elite cavalry of the rebel army began to chase after the cavalry of the Yu family army like crazy, shouting and scolding one by one, but the cavalry of the Yu family army ran away in front of them, constantly teasing the rebels who pursued them behind.
At this time, they chased and fled, and one ran out of about thirty miles, and the war horses on both sides had become quite tired, and they kept panting, so that the soldiers who cherished the war horses were distressed, knowing that if they continued to run like this, these war horses would probably run away, so they had to slow down.
But Chen was sometimes so angry that he was about to lose his mind, and he still strictly ordered to continue to speed up the pursuit, and now the Fujian cavalry was already very tired, even if he was tired of some war horses, he had to catch up with them and kill them all.
Seeing the rebel cavalry, just about to catch up with the five hundred or so cavalry of the Yu family's army, a large army suddenly appeared behind a dirt slope.
After the cavalry of the Yu family army crossed the dirt slope, they immediately saw the big flag of Yu Zi flying high, as well as a unique golden wolf flag that was not too big in the army, and these cavalry of the Yu family army immediately cheered and rushed towards the formation.
At this time, Yu Xiaotian had already led the troops here, and had already learned in advance that the cavalry company was dragging a group of rebel cavalry over, so he lined up an array far behind the dirt slope, the purpose of which was to give those rebels a sudden surprise.
At this time, the cannon was already swinging on the left side of the front of the formation, the muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the dirt slope, and even the cannon had been loaded, and even the firing distance had been marked, and after waiting for an order, they fired en masse.
Chen sometimes led the elite cavalry of the rebels and chased them over the dirt slope, and when they crossed the dirt slope, they all jumped one by one, and an elite officer army suddenly appeared in front of them, and had already lined up the battle column, ready to meet them.
Chen was sometimes so frightened that he quickly reined in the reins of his horse, and the war horse he pulled turned around a few times in place, and the rest of the rebels were also so frightened that they quickly grabbed the war horse and began to form a chaotic formation.
Chen sometimes scolded, knowing that he was fooled today, these Fujian cavalry were simply going to drag them here, and now that the main force of the enemy army has appeared, there is no possibility of catching up with this group of Fujian cavalry, unless they can defeat this group of Fujian soldiers and horses now, otherwise, he can only go home immediately.
But Chen is sometimes a little too arrogant now, and he doesn't take these Fujian officers and soldiers in his eyes at all, even if he knows that these Fujian officers and soldiers are also elite soldiers, some time ago, they ate their men and horses in Li Fujie on the side of Pingdu Prefecture in one fell swoop, and conquered Pingdu City.
But for Chen Sometimes, it didn't make him pay enough attention, he only felt that Li Fujie was too stupid, and he couldn't even beat these Fujian soldiers, and what he led was the old department of the Dongjiang Army, all of which were rolled out of a pool of blood, but they were not comparable to the miscellaneous soldiers led by Li Fujie.
In addition, this is the field, the cavalry has the strongest field combat ability, although he was startled when he began to see this group of Fujian officers and soldiers appear, but he did not immediately decide, just retreated, but ordered his cavalry to rest on the spot temporarily, so that the horses and people could take a breath and rest.
"General! What do we do next? A rebel general leaned over and asked Chen.
Chen sometimes pouted, looked at the Fujian official army opposite from a distance, and sneered: "It's not bad to look at the posture, but in Lao Tzu's eyes, their Fujian soldiers are just some kind of goods!" Just these horses, they haven't reached the Cheng dΓΉ that makes Lao Tzu afraid! There are even cannons! Hum!
Isn't it a pity to go back like this? Today we will meet them, the brothers are all at the command of Lao Tzu, after a while we will rest for a while, follow Lao Tzu to rush at them, see how deep the water is for them!
It's best to let them see how powerful we are first, if we crush them today, then this time we will make a lot of money! After going back, the handsome man is indispensable for everyone's benefits! β
These rebel generals are now also arrogant to the extreme, although they clearly look at the Fujian soldiers and horses in front of them, they are by no means ordinary officers and soldiers, the opponent's lineup is neat, arranged in an orderly manner, standing in front of the formation, not moving like a mountain, at a glance they know that it is an elite army, and it is by no means comparable to those officers and soldiers they have encountered before.
However, they all have a sense of contempt for the southern soldiers, thinking that they have seen battles in Liaodong and Jiannu, and fought hard battles, while the south is stable, in addition to the Sichuan army and the Guizhou rebellion, the official army has also fought some tough battles, but Fujian has never heard of too much trouble, where can they fight a hard battle like them! So in their opinion, these Fujian generals are all old soldiers.
It's okay for these generals to come out and put on a show, but if they really meet these real elite soldiers, these Fujian soldiers will probably be scared to pee their pants, so these rebel generals don't feel nervous at all, but they are still gearing up one by one and making a posture of preparing to do a big job.
Yu Xiaotian observed the rebel cavalry on the opposite side from a distance from the telescope, and saw that they actually stopped on the dirt slope, and did not see the slightest posture of retreat after seeing their own army, but they all got off their horses one by one, loosened the belly belt of the war horse, and began to rest on the spot.
And looking at them, it doesn't look like they're going to ride away for a while, but they all look like they're gearing up, as if they want to stay, meet him, and fight each other.
"Snort......! These brutes! It's really a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die, this guts is fat enough, and he actually wants to stay and fight with us! Hum! Then the dishes delivered to the door, Lao Tzu can only be disrespectful! Come on, pass the order, don't fire without permission, let them rest for a while! Let them see the power of our infantry today! The cavalry dismount and rest, and they will be needed for a while! β
"Yes! As soon as the commander ......heard this, he immediately began to convey Xiaotian's order in a loud voice.
Meng Fei, as the main general of the troops and horses going north this time, of course, will thoroughly implement Xiaotian's order, and the army has made some minor adjustments under Meng Fei's order, and adjusted it into two large phalanxes, making it the most suitable for dealing with this kind of cavalry attack.
But the generals of the Yu family army did not react more, but after adjusting the formation, they quietly waited for the arrival of the rebels.
Seeing that the Yu family's army did not move, Chen on the rebel side sometimes became even more arrogant, thinking that the Fujian soldiers did not dare to move under the superior forces, that is, he was afraid of them, so he loudly laughed at these timid Fujian generals in the army, and commented on the formation of these Fujian soldiers.
Chen sometimes thinks that these Fujian soldiers don't look at the array is very neat, but they don't understand what a real formation is, this kind of phalanx that is not local or foreign, looks very neat, but he has never seen anyone arrange troops like this.
The rebel generals also slapped Chen's ass one by one, flattering him that it was, these Fujian generals didn't know what it meant to arrange troops, and such a formation was not enough for them to see, and they could break the large formation of Fujian officials and troops with one kick, and kill their corpses all over the field.
As soon as the rebels were so noisy, the arrogance among them also rose a lot, and they all giggled and laughed, without any sense of pressure before the war.
The two armies faced each other for more than an hour from noon, and the rebel general Chen sometimes felt that the bodies of the soldiers and the war horses had recovered, so he clapped his hands, threw away a piece of unfinished bread, stuffed the last bite of meat into his mouth, and exclaimed while chewing: "Wear armor!" Get ready! β
At this time, the rebels stood up one after another, helped each other again with the armor they had taken off, draped them on their bodies, tied the ropes tightly, checked their weapons and armor, and then went over to tie the belly straps of the horses tightly, and checked the saddles and reins and other harnesses.
