Originally, the Huai cavalry faced the imperial army on the front line, which was a great opportunity to make contributions. Huai Xiang said that if he suppressed the bandits, they would follow Hua Ji'an, the commander of the Northern Route Army, to come to the right side of the river by horse and boat from Xuzhou to blow the cold wind. After crossing the river without stopping, and in the rainy weather, they were so exhausted that they could not even enter the city, and the heralds were annoyed.

"You wait!"

The heralds don't care about autonomy or not, and now they are more concerned about whether they can go into the city to smoke this arrogant boy. Mai Heyi, the general of the vanguard army behind him, said in a daze: "There is an autonomous county town on the right side of the river? ”

There was a guide who was familiar with the road in the back, and he roughly explained to Mai He, saying that Sun Yi, the county lieutenant of Mao County, was the local emperor Yunyun, and Mai He also understood. There are also many examples like Sun Yi from county lieutenant to county magistrate in Huaidi, and King Huai used similar methods to win over the imperial court to appoint local officials.

The fact is one thing, openly proclaiming "autonomy", this Sun Yi doesn't want to live anymore?

"General, now that Mao County can't enter, should we inform General Hua or will we make every effort to occupy the city?"

In the battle of Xuzhou, the cavalry rarely had a chance to perform, at most they only rode forward to shoot two rounds of arrows, and now when they came to Mao County, a county lieutenant of Mao County dared to show them a face, how could they make these soldiers who had suffered and had no military merits annoyed?

"I don't think we are welcome into the city, it may not be what Sun Yi meant. I'll go and find out! ”

Mai He, who had already despised the Jingwang soldiers and the bandits who had been in the battle for a long time, forgot that the bandits might still be in the city, a dignified Huai army vanguard general. When he went to the city in person, he called for the city gate to be opened. Maihe is still very experienced. It is about three hundred steps from the city wall. In this way, even a strong crossbow could not hurt him in the slightest.

"You didn't receive the official letter from King Huai? Hurry up and ask you Lieutenant Sun to come out, General Ben has something to ask him! ”

The young man on the city tower had a blank face: "Who are you?" What a big breath. ”

Mai He raised his arrogant head and said: "This general is the Zhengwei general of the Son of Heaven, Mai He is also ......."

"Bang!"

There was a sudden explosion on the castle tower, and as soon as Mai He's words fell, the man had already fallen from his horse, and his chest was bleeding, and he couldn't figure out how he died until he closed his eyes.

"Hey!" The arrogant voice of the young man on the castle tower came again, "That general, you are nothing more than that. I still think you can't be killed if you have three heads and six arms! ”

At this time, the cavalry of the Huai Army, who was still holding a wait-and-see attitude, was completely enraged, and the general was killed under his nose, and he died in an unknown manner, and now the city tower is still provocative. How could these hot-blooded men stand such an insult?

"Siege! Avenge General Mak! ”

As soon as someone shouted like this, the soldiers and generals twisted their hearts together, raised their spears or rode their horses with bows, and prepared to raze this small county town in one fell swoop.

As the saying goes, the mourning soldiers will win, which is a relatively general situation, and the situation today is somewhat different. Originally, it was a group of cavalry. There are no siege baggage, and they are not apes who can climb walls. This ability to climb the wall is only good at people like Huo Zhi who have used to steal chickens and dogs. As a result, the regular army, which was originally one-sided, fought against the local garrison, but in a blink of an eye, it became a mountain bandit who slaughtered the water dogs.

"A group of ready, three, two, one put!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"The second regiment is ready, and the three-two-one is released!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Three regiments and one regiment are preparing for ...... at the same time"

Originally, Huo Yi still wanted to fight this vanguard army with Lian Husheng, but now that it is saved, more than 100 people from a "bandit brigade" on the upper floor of his city can almost be solved.

The Huai cavalry began to charge and was still very turbulent, bending the bow and shooting arrows to shoot the defenders of these hateful places on the city tower into a sieve, but I didn't expect these soldiers to be more cunning than those old oilmen in Xuzhou City. "When the order was given, he got up and shot, and the accuracy was surprisingly high, and the Huai cavalry was embarrassed, and they fell one after another.

After all, these cavalry of the Huai army have also been on the battlefield to fight bravely against the enemy, and they are also extremely experienced, and when they saw that their side was at a disadvantage, they wanted to teach the defenders on the city wall a lesson. At the risk of being shot in the head with a gun, the cavalrymen took their bows and aimed at the battlements, waiting only to hear the "Release!" "I shot arrows at the city wall, who knew that Lu Dao obviously heard the password, and the arrows also shot out, but the attack speed of the weapon really can't be compared with others, the arrow is still in the air, people's guns have come, and people have fallen off their horses. It was only when they had already taken refuge behind the battlements that their arrows were slowly fired.

This was the first time that these soldiers had realized how deadly the inferiority of weapons could be on the battlefield.

The Huai cavalry changed their strategy again, waiting for the number of people to shoot arrows when they were three, two, one, and the weapons were backward and they could take the lead to reverse the disadvantage, but this time they were smarter, and if they didn't show their heads, they showed a gun, "Bang!" "If you shoot on the ground, it doesn't matter if you hit it or not, anyway, there are cavalry of the Huai army everywhere under the city tower, and there are always unlucky eggs.

It was only half an hour, and the Huai army suffered heavy casualties, and the spirit of avenging General Mai was exhausted, and the psychology of not being afraid of death gradually dissipated, and a huge sense of fear came to the heart, and they all fled faster than rushing up.

"Breeds, didn't you say you want revenge? Come back! Behind him, the young man shouted from the tower.

The cavalry didn't care about any dignity at this time, and it was a fool to go up and be a target for someone! The soldiers fled halfway before they realized that something was wrong, it turned out that a group of black and green cavalry had been outflanked from the flank, "Bang bang bang!" Another round of shooting, the cavalry couldn't care about resisting, fleeing first, and waiting for the scattered cavalry to flee in all directions, Lian Yucai was surprised to unmask and look at the back of the fleeing cavalry, muttering: "This hasn't been fought yet, how did you escape?" ”

Originally, he was still waiting here for an ambush and caught the enemy off guard, but now it seems that the Huai army was indeed caught off guard, but they fled one by one as if they were something, and they couldn't catch up if they wanted to.

"Commander Lian, hurry back to the city." An adjutant reminded him later, "The Chinese army of the Huai cavalry is only one or twenty miles away from here, and we will come when we expose our whereabouts!" ”

Lian Husheng nodded, and immediately ordered the whole army to return to the city.

An undisputed victory, just like yesterday's siege battle, won without bloodshed and without suspense. Many people in the city and the garrison that was originally disarmed also saw it really, the elite cavalry of the Huai army in this battle had no power to parry at all, and the corpses left by the Huai army, as well as all kinds of ownerless horses outside the city, were also driven into the city by the leader of the mountain bandits.

This group of mountain bandits is like gods in the minds of the people, and the most appalling myths and stories in the world are nothing more than that, and the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals can be more capable than these mountain bandits. When all the bandits returned to the city, many people began to think about how to join the mountain.

But it seems that the commander of Nahuo is very dissatisfied with the performance of his subordinates, because there are a few accidentally injured by the arrow, fortunately, the injuries are not too serious, and there is no major problem after bandaging, only one of them was shot in the shoulder, and it may take a few days of rest.

"How many times have I told you, you have to listen to orders, this time it's three fires, next time it's two, how do you remember?"

The soldier with a shoulder injury was hit by a stray arrow because he didn't keep up with the rhythm once, and he fell behind and was hit by a stray arrow, which was not a problem, a hundred mountain bandits annihilated a thousand elite cavalry, and he only paid the price of a soldier being slightly injured, what else could he ask for? But this Commander Huo nagged in front of the wounded soldier, always saying what the commander said, as if what the commander said was a creed.

The people are so shocked, this Commander Huo is already a super pervert, and the commander is still perverted? I guess I really told Commander Nahuo that the commander is a monster with three heads and six arms!

"If it's slow next time, Lao Tzu will destroy you with one shot!" Huo Ill threatened viciously.

"Don't worry, I'll think about it next time, and I won't hold back."

They are all ordinary villagers, recruited by Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu, many of whom have just learned to ride horses a month ago, and in this only a month's work, they have grown into elite generals in the army. This is related to the actual combat training that has been carried out day after day over the past month.

Liu Yu also wanted to calm down, first train this miscellaneous army for a year and a half before sending them to the battlefield, but the situation forced him, and he could only hastily teach these recruits simple skills, and then dragged the ragtag army composed of the Royal Forest Army and the new army south, Liu Yu's purpose was also very simple, that is, to block the logistics supply line of the Huai Army, and train the troops in actual combat.

It was not yet dusk in the afternoon, and the Chinese army of the Huai cavalry was already less than five miles away from the city. Because he had received the exact news of the garrison in the city, Hua Ji'an did not rush to attack the city or launch retaliation, but just stationed in place, on the one hand, to prevent the attack on the camp, and on the other hand, to release the battle report to the north as soon as possible.

Hua Ji'an has felt from today's battle that this is definitely not an ordinary mountain bandit, and what King Jing said is indeed not groundless. With the strength of the more than 4,000 cavalry under his command at present, he may not be defeated in an encounter with this mountain bandit in the field, but it is too difficult to conquer Mao County.

"General, I sent a letter from the villagers in the city, saying that it was for you." A guard came to report.

"Checked?"

"After checking, the villager was originally a bully in Mao County, who was originally imprisoned, and asked the locals, but there was no problem. In addition, the envelopes and stationery are also of general color, and there is no suspicion. ”

Hua Ji'an opened the envelope, and the paper inside was not very neat because it had been opened, and the words on it were even more ugly and ugly, as if it had been written by a person who had just learned to write.

"Turtle son, if you don't surrender obediently, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

Hua Ji'an was immediately furious and shouted, "What is this? The next war book? I think these mountain bandits really don't know the height of the sky, and I think that no one in heaven and earth can teach them a lesson. (To be continued......)
