"As a heavy general in the army, I don't want to serve the country and relieve the siege of Baiping Mountain, but I insist on retreating, fearing the enemy and avoiding the enemy. The little uncle is in Baiping Mountain, and the army of more than 200,000 is in Baiping Mountain, waiting for the reinforcements of the Celestial Empire to come to ask for the Year of the Monkey? ”
"There are also the four counties, in a word, Zhu Biao's 'tone' is really too big!" In the East Palace, Ji Yun roared angrily, and his face and neck were bloodshot and red. The original respect for Zhu Biao in my heart has been swept away from the clouds.
Yun Qi on the side also looked ugly to death, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhu Biao in his heart!
The lieutenant said that he would retreat, but his views were not representative at all. In this defeat, the resignation of the lieutenant and even the guilt have become a foregone conclusion. The imperial court wants to give the world an explanation to Zhongshan, the defeat on the battlefield is not only the fault of the front-line generals, is it not the fault of the princes in the court?
But hateful Zhu Biao, after entering the palace, he will definitely not think about the intention of rescuing the whole army, blindly avoiding the enemy and retreating, and even throwing away the land of Huaiyuan, rescue, Xinchang, and Kaihua four counties.
Yun Qi's heart was so depressed that she was about to explode. Why is he not qualified to enter the palace to discuss matters, otherwise Zhu Biao's face will be completely discouraged!
The same is true for Wang Changsun, the sun has risen high, and the results of the court discussion are in progress, and the news has reached the East Palace.
………
Zhu Biao didn't know that he had been annoyed by the eldest grandson of Wang and the prince of the Marquis of Anping, and he was now leading the iron cavalry to move forward at a gallop. is a memory in my head, and that is also Shan Yuping's tearful eyes when parting. The worried eyes of the mother and the little sister.
Because the royal capital often has soldiers and horses and materials dispatched to the north bank, there are three pontoon bridges directly built on the Luoming River, and they are very high-level pontoon bridges. When there is no soldier material to go to and from both sides, the pontoon bridge in the center of the river will be disconnected and folded along the flowing water to the east, and when there are soldiers and materials to cross the river, it will be closed up.
The 30,000 iron horsemen led by Zhu Biao crossed the river in this way, and rushed straight to the north without stopping. The subsequent baggage battalion and 20,000 forbidden troops, as well as the armored iron cavalry - the Tiger Battalion, all the soldiers and horses were in the same place, and then advanced.
The 50,000 Zhongshan troops outside the royal capital also opened at the same time. Of course, Zuo Ding, the prince of Zhongshan, will not go into battle in person. He wasn't feeling well. The leader of the army was the general of the military division, the marquis of the military division, and Chen Xizeng.
And the huge Beiping City, after these armies are deployed, there are only less than 10,000 forbidden troops left. Of course, this number does not include the private soldiers and guards of the wealthy and powerful of each family.
In Pingzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Quzhou, and Muzhou, harrier eagles and carrier pigeons flew in the sky with the order to transfer troops, and fast horses galloped on the ground with the control of people.
With Beiping City as the center, the thousand-mile fast ride is like the light radiating from the morning sun that jumps out of the sea, and there are countless more. After all, the danger of harrier eagles and carrier pigeons is too high, and it is guaranteed to be delivered quickly. and the documents and edicts for the transfer of troops. But it's not that harrier eagles and carrier pigeons can fly thousands of miles with them.
---------------------- Dividing Line------------------------
Huaiyuan County, Qingshui County.
Early morning. After a full meal, the soldiers of the Huaiyuan battalion picked up the bags that had been packed at night and marched south in an orderly manner.
Ten years ago, there must have been hometown fathers and elders who helped the old and brought the young to send each other, but in Huaiyuan County, which is in the vast red land, this situation has long been impossible.
Since the day before yesterday, there were Hu horses wandering in the north of the county, and yesterday there was an eagle shooter who ran to Pengming. Li Yirong felt that something was wrong, if Hu Qi was defeated by Li Dashuai's soldiers and horses, Uwei Tuo's royal tent would be gone. How could it appear in Huaiyuan?
Routed? Not really.
He muttered in his heart, feeling that Qingshui County was not safe, and sent a letter to Xie Qiang of Peng Ming and Li Maozhong, the old land of Meixi, overnight, asking the two to step up their garrison, and his own department to retreat to Peng Ming.
It's been almost a year since I separated from Zhu Biao, and the few of them are getting along well now. Although it only belongs to the establishment of the county and national soldiers, Li Yirong is a captain, and Li Maozhong and Xie Qiang are also military horses. The department is organized and trained as the Huaiyuan Battalion. There are about 3,000 people in total.
At noon, when he arrived at a dilapidated village, Li Yirong ordered the whole camp to rest on the spot and bury the pot to make rice. Not long after, there is a scout return. The village was deserted, but there was a mess in one place, a new ruin.
Li Yirong's face was grim, and he immediately dispatched his own soldiers to guard and arrange sentry posts everywhere.
The soldiers were tired from the march, and the weather was cold, and who didn't want to huddle by the fire to warm up.
"Isn't it too much?" When Li Yirong came back to rest after his inspection, he asked himself. But the gloom in his heart made his momentary wavering disappear in an instant, the big knife was untied at hand, the armor was put on his body, and after drinking a bowl of hot soup, he was about to rest on his back for a while, when he suddenly heard the soldiers outside shouting. A soldier came running from outside, "My lord, Hu Gou, Hu Dog is here!" ”
Li Yirong jumped up, raised his knife in his hand, and shouted: "The whole camp is on alert!" The soldiers who were sitting or lying down quickly got up, weapons in hand, and spread them out in the open space in the village, in order of length and proximity.
The heavy shield is in front, and the dovetail shield is later, and behind the dovetail is a column of pikemen in armor. The pikemen were followed by the broadsword and heavy axemen, and then the small number of archers guarded by the sword player.
The equipment of the Huaiyuan battalion was inferior to that of the regular border army, but compared to their previous time, it was already fluttering.
Knife players also have another mission, supervising the army. Without a military order, those who dare to retreat will be killed.
After all, a considerable number of soldiers in the Huaiyuan battalion are fighting for the first time, and if they encounter the Hu cavalry coming in like a tide, they will not be afraid! One person is in chaos, ten people are shocked, ten people are in chaos, and one hundred people are over. Li Yirong's subordinates are only ten!
Queue up to the entrance of the village! The dust and smoke from Hu Qi was already very close.
In Zhu Biao's previous life, he always saw thousands of iron horses, impacting with the momentum of landslides and ground cracks, which was extremely spectacular. But if you really come to the battlefield, you will know, not to mention thousands of horsemen, even hundreds of cavalry charging is quite terrifying!
It is said that the cavalry is the nemesis of the infantry, not only because of the strong mobility of the cavalry, but also because of the power of the thunder and thunder after the group charges, and there is great depression and fear of the infantry psychology! Once the infantry is timid, the formation will be scattered, and then a merciless slaughter awaits them!
Seeing hundreds of Hu cavalry rushing to kill, many recruits in the queue were nervous and hoarse, and the weapons in their hands trembled uncontrollably. But those veterans who have followed Li Yirong for many years have resolute expressions, and they have a common enmity with the Hu people. Hatred has long made them forget their fears!
Li Yirong raised the big knife in his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Steady!" Steady! Death to those who retreat! ”
Eighty steps! The soldiers of the Huaiyuan battalion all felt the vibration of the ground being trampled by the horses' hooves! A rain of arrows rose from the Hu cavalry array.
"Javelin hatchet ready!" Li Yirong did not give the order to shoot back with the archers, his teeth were clenched, and he stared at the front! Three waves of arrows rained down, and I stayed up.
A low scream sounded, and one of his own personal soldiers a few steps away was even stabbed in the neck by an arrow, and without saying a word, he planted his head to the end.
Fifty steps! Hu Qi's hideous and vicious face can be heard! Some of the soldiers couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts and shouted loudly, but no one threw away their weapons and turned around and ran! Because the recruits who joined the Huaiyuan Battalion, like the veterans, also had a blood feud with Hu Qi.
But if they haven't been on the battlefield or experienced real fighting, they can't be bold.
Gritted his teeth, clutched his weapon, and held his breath!
Thirty steps, the two armies are about to meet! The third wave of arrows rises!
Twenty steps, Hu Cai, who came with the momentum of thunder, was about to violently hit the infantry phalanx with the force of ten thousand jun!
"Cast-" As if he was roaring to the sky, Li Yirong's eyes were round and his voice was hoarse.
The sword player with arrows on the shield immediately withdrew his shield, and the soldiers who had already prepared below suddenly stood up, and the shuttle spears with iron tufts and wooden handles soared into the air, and at the same time flew out a whirling short axe.
Twenty paces was a short distance, and the heavy shield men and pikemen were ready to ram, and the pikes and axes rained down, and the hundred horsemen at the head immediately suffered heavy losses.
A Hu rider was pierced through the chest by a shuttle gun, and then turned under the horse; Another Hu ride, the head of the war horse was cut straight for the short axe, the brain burst out, the war horse fell to the ground suddenly, and the Hu Lu on it also fell off the horse, and before he could get up, he was trampled on the back by the back of the war horse. Or the rider was smashed and dismounted, or the horse was hit by a pike gun or a short axe, and a group of people in front of the battle turned on their backs.
Buzzing! The bowstring vibrate, and Li Yirong only had eighty archers under him, and at this moment he also showed his sharp fangs.
The commander of the thousand cavalry who led this Hu cavalry knew that he was underestimating the enemy, but the cavalry could not stop when he rushed down, otherwise he would be in a chaotic formation. can only continue to kill hard, and directly disperse this group of county soldiers, or be blocked by the Han people.
Rows of spears were placed on swallow-tailed shields, and the spears with their tail handles smashed on the ground became an insurmountable chasm! Hu Cai, who escaped from the baptism of pike spear and short axe, drove the war horse directly into the tip of the spear, and the war horse rose in pain and overturned the cavalry on its back, and their final blow was to also throw the weapon in their hands.
The scimitar is not terrible, but the short hammer and mace are extremely lethal. Many spearmen fell screaming, but one fell and another quickly took over. The Hu cavalry behind also stepped on the corpses of his comrades and collided one after another, and its huge impact made the Huaiyuan battalion military formation recess a large piece backwards! But in the same way, the momentum of the cavalry was also blocked!
Now is the time! Li Yirong saw it clearly, and raised his sword high. The heavy shield soldiers and pikemen who suffered a lot of casualties retreated, and the heavy axe soldiers who threw the big swords and axes of the pike and short axes were killed.
A layer of leather armor, a layer of iron armor, these people are the elite of Li Yirong's hands. Without the speed of the Hu cavalry, even the standing cavalry will not be their opponents.
"Oh my God!" Huaiyuan Camp, who had just won for a while, stopped abruptly as soon as the cheers of excitement sounded, and Li Yirong let out a groan. "What the hell is going on with the army?" At the end of the northern sky, dust and smoke were billowing out, and countless Hu horses were prancing horses to kill......
