Xu Yong has an evaluation in his heart, this Shi Manqiang is guarding one side in Huai'an North District, he is steady and thoughtful, he is already handsome, Ji Xiang has been by Zhao Jin's side for a long time, and he has no chance to be alone, he is a tiger general, but he may not be able to be called a good general.

"The enemy army has seen the scale of our army, and with the style of the officers and soldiers, they feel that our army is weak and weak, and they will definitely come to try it, and after winning this battle, there will be a lot less trouble." Shi Manqiang said in a deep voice.

This judgment was made here, and there were cavalry outside urging horses to rush over and report the news: "Luzheng, two enemy forces are outflanking here, all the way south of the city, more than 1,000 cavalry, 8,000 foot soldiers, all the way to the northeast of the city, more than 1,500 cavalry, more than 7,000 foot soldiers." ”

Hearing this, everyone in the room became excited, the enemy army was obviously superior, but Shi Manqiang, Ji Xiang, Xu Yong and the generals present, no one was panicked and afraid, just excited, all the way north from Xuzhou, all the way to victory, and everyone had already cultivated their confidence.

"Stone, you have an idea, how do we fight this time!" Yoshika asked.

Everyone's eyes are focused on Shi Manqiang, and so is Xu Yong, the regiment of the first knight regiment, Xu Yong and Ji Xiang are both directly led by Zhao Jin, and there are many times when the two of them deal with each other, Xu Yong is sighing in his heart at this time, the fifth master has grown up a lot, if it was in the past, he would definitely rush to say his thoughts, but this time Zhao Jin was clearly headed by Shi Manqiang, and Ji Xiang took the initiative to say this, although the subtleties were not so appropriate.

Shi Manqiang smiled and said: "Go fight honestly, don't care how many ways he comes, I will only go all the way, after fighting all the way, we will go back and clean up the other way, let the brothers all move, leave the dry food and the like, only carry weapons and ammunition, around this capital, don't worry about food and clothing!" ”

The order was issued, and the cavalry of the Zhao family's army, who had just rested, got on their horses one after another, and the cavalry who dragged the artillery also hurriedly oiled and reinforced the axles of the gun carriages, and rushed all the way from Tianjin, no one felt tired, looking at the Jingshi city in the distance, what fatigue disappeared.

The location of the Zhao family's military horse team is closer to the northeast of the city, and the Beijing camp has a large number of people, only a small part of them are stationed in the city, and the northeast of the capital is actually driven out of the military camp.

The terrain outside the capital was flat, but the cavalry could not go too fast, because there were no smooth and wide roads, and in May, the crops in the fields were already very tall, which would hinder the cavalry's movements, not to mention the manor villages dotted around, and the buildings themselves divided the terrain very fragmented.

The cavalry is based on the company, and the team dragging the artillery is running in the front, these cavalry of the Zhao family army has a characteristic, the saddlebags of the mounts are bulging, and each horse is loaded with three shells, and it is nothing to carry ten catties of horses.

In such a terrain situation, the light cavalry running is not affected, there is no need to worry about being attacked when passing through the manor village, the gentry and the people there have either fled into the city, or are hiding in the house and cellar in fear, they do not have the slightest concern for the safety of the capital, these people in the capital have seen a lot of rich and noble families, and they are used to taking advantage of the tricks, they don't think that this court, this Beijing division has something to do with their own family, they are all bigwigs.

If the same battle took place in Xuzhou and its controlled area, the enemy cavalry dared to cross the border near the fortified grange, and were bombarded by firearms, and were shot with bows and arrows.

Shi Manqiang and Ji Xiang of the Chinese army had already seen the smoke and dust in the distance, and the light cavalry in front had already sent back the definite news, and the brigade still maintained a uniform speed, while the horse team dragging artillery in front began to accelerate, and began to separate to both sides under the escort of the cavalry company.

After the artillery was put down, the cavalry immediately dismounted, thanks to the fact that most of the gunners of the Zhao family army were born in the school, the skills on the battlefield were comprehensive, and the riding skills were not bad, and immediately after dismounting, they immediately greeted and began to set up the cannon, although the quality of the steel artillery carriage of the Zhao family army was good, but this long-distance run was bumpy, and the three-pounder gun body was also a weight of several hundred catties, and there would definitely be deformation, in order to prevent this, Zhao Jiajun also brought a spare gun carriage here.

This side is busy and busy, and there are already people climbing up to the nearest roof, observing the movement of the approaching enemy troops, these three-pounder guns are hidden between the courtyards, but they can't let the walls and houses block the firing range, and it is still a little troublesome to adjust.

After the artillery position was arranged, the brigade led by Shi Manqiang and Ji Xiang also arrived, because there was no too open terrain, so the brigade of soldiers and horses could only march along the official road, after the cavalry of the Zhao family army stopped, they looked along the official road, and they could already see the official flag on the opposite side, and they also followed this road.

The cavalry of the Zhao family army did not continue to advance, but only stopped to rest and prepare, except for the light cavalry activities to inquire about the battle situation, the brigade stopped there, and even the light cavalry of the official army did not go to intercept and cover up, in this case, the movement of the cavalry of the Zhao family army, the officers and soldiers naturally understood clearly.

It can be known that there are only a few thousand cavalry of the Zhao family's army, there are no ambushes around, and they are waiting here to stop and not move, but the officers and light cavalry can't see the few three-pounder cannons hidden in the gap between the house and the haystack.

Not long after stopping here, the soldiers who were looking out at the heights noticed the changes in the official army, and the speed of the official army's march was significantly accelerated, and there was a great sense of hurrying to this side and making the first contribution, but in this situation, it was impossible to attack the two roads together, because the cavalry of the Zhao family army was too close to the northeast of the city in this position.

The defeated soldiers of the Battle of Jinghai have already brought the news back to Beijing, and how fierce and powerful the Zhao family army has long been spread, but the rumors are too outrageous, which makes people feel unbelievable when they hear it, and honestly feel that the Xuzhou thief army may be similar to the Jianzhou Jurchen Grassland Mongolia, and the smarter one is that there must have been something wrong with it, or in order to force Qingliu to step down, or because of infighting, so there will be such a big defeat.

And at this time, no matter what everyone thinks, more than 3,000 horses, and more than 3,000 horses in this kind of terrain is really not enough, with three times or four times the strength of the encounter, at least it will not suffer losses and failures, if you can win in such a situation, it will be a great achievement, and promotion and rewards will definitely be indispensable.

Before this battle, the Zhao army had several victories over the officers and troops, but these victories were too neat, and the Zhao army did not deliberately publicize it, and the officers and troops never paid due attention to it.

If you invest enough troops, you can win this time, if you don't act slowly, you can win this time, if you hold on a little longer, you can repel the thief army, there is always this misunderstanding on the side of the Ming army.

In the final analysis, it is still the Ming court and the official army, the lack of a sense of reality for the Zhao family, all parties in the world are actually the same, Zhao Jin started to operate from scratch, ten years to do this, there is such a strong army that swept the world, there are different firearms from the Ming Dynasty, and there are mountains of gold and silver in general, these are not obtained out of thin air, but there is a process, there is fighting, there is hard work, there is diligence.

But for this era, it has only been ten years since this qiē was made, or even far less than ten years, which is too unreasonable, this is simply impossible, and under such cognition, the director zhì's judgment of Zhao Jiajun in Xuzhou is also at a loss, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, and he won't even deal with it seriously.

But how serious you are, this is only a team of 3,000 horses, and it is still a lone army, the official army is more than four times that of him, not to mention, there is a road of soldiers and horses is coming, and the two-way combined attack is almost ten times the advantage, how can such a comparison be lost, when people encounter things that are not in harmony with common sense, he will only use common sense to judge, and the officers and soldiers can't figure out the tactics and tactics of the Zhao family's army, so they can only ponder according to their own routines.

The horse team led by Shi Manqiang and Yoshika did not wait there in a daze, but slowly dispersed, so that the size of the team could adapt to the terrain of the battlefield, and they could charge or turn in at any time when they were launched.

The soldiers of the Zhao family on the roof and at the height stared at the approach of the official army, and when they entered the range of the artillery, they began to send a message, and the gunners who had been prepared for a long time quickly checked the artillery, and then opened fire, several three-pounder guns were not in the same position, and the distance of the officers and soldiers was also different, and the first time to fire!

If the salvo is naturally amazing, but the three-pounder cannon fires one after another, and there is a noise of men and horses around it, this muffled sound is difficult to notice, when the cannonball is whistling and flying closer, it is too late to dodge, the cannonball falls into the queue, and no matter the foot rider is flesh and blood.

Xuzhou thieves are firing cannons, rumors are very mysterious, saying that Xuzhou's artillery is really like a thunderbolt, once it is fired, the sky is falling apart, of course, there is some exaggeration, but the officers and soldiers know how much that the thieves' artillery is sharp, seeing the other party's cannons, the front team is scattered Hula, I don't care about what formation, at this time the official cavalry team is embarrassed, if it is charged at this time, the number of thieves and cavalry has an advantage, but if you don't charge, you will be beaten or scattered.

More than one person in the officers and soldiers was scolding, didn't it mean that the thieves were rushing on light horses, and it was impossible to carry artillery? What's going on with this cannon?

What the officers and soldiers really didn't expect was that the artillery was not in one position, and it was not a salvo, one cannon fell, and the other gun flew from other directions, and the officers and soldiers who just dodged thought they had arrived in a safe place, but they didn't expect another piece of flesh and blood to fly, and everyone screamed and scattered and ran away, but the third gun fell again, and they never dodged.
