With Zheng Huaicheng's order, the nine thousand cavalry urged the war horses to start trotting.

Immediately faster and faster, the sound of the horse's hooves suddenly sounded, resounding through the sky, and the earth began to tremble, and even the exclamations on the opposite side were drowned out.

It's too late, it's too soon.

The cavalry of the vanguard battalion quickly rushed into the enemy formation, like a torrent of steel, crashing into the crowd at once, and suddenly stirred up a dazzling metallic light.

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves suppressed all the screams and exclamations, and only a frightening muffled sound was heard.

Some rebels who couldn't dodge, the first to bear the brunt, were directly knocked out by the war horse, broke their bones and tendons, and screamed in pain.

More enemies were directly hacked to death by the cavalry, and for a time their heads flew up, severed limbs flew sideways, blood splattered everywhere, screams, exclamations, angry scoldings, weapon collisions, and neighing of war horses sounded one after another.

Looking at the cavalry rushing to kill, the rebels suddenly panicked, exclaimed again and again, and some even turned around and ran.

Niu Xing swung a knife and slashed an escaped man on the spot, shouting angrily, "Those who escaped from the battle, behead!"

After killing several people who escaped one after another, it was only after seeing that the position was stabilized.

The feeling of oppression from the cavalry was almost suffocating, and it was inevitable that some people would flee timidly.

Niu Xing looked at the cavalry who seemed to have entered a no-man's land, and was a little annoyed in his heart.

I was still late, and I was seized by these cavalrymen, and I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when I remembered what I said in Yulin. It's a pity that I didn't deceive this group of guys, otherwise I would have snatched the ferry back.

For now, I can only fight, try to involve these cavalry, and wait for reinforcements from behind.

Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, hold me back, the pikemen come forward, attack their horses, try to entangle them, slow them down, as long as they slow down, they will lose their advantage and will no longer be our opponent."

This guy's vision is still vicious, and he is also a general with rich combat experience.

Under his command, a pair of pikemen, fearless to death, blocked the front of the cavalry, although they were still killed and killed by the cavalry, which also caused a large number of casualties among the charging cavalry, and the speed of the charge gradually slowed down.

Seeing this, Zheng Huaicheng couldn't help but be surprised.

If you continue to rush forward, once the speed slows down, the advantage of your cavalry will be gone, and you will be surrounded by 30,000 men, and the consequences will be almost unpredictable.

His eyes scanned the battlefield, picked a weak point, adjusted the direction and rushed out.

Seeing that they were about to break through, Niu Xing shouted, "Stop them, don't let them escape, our army is about to arrive."

Although the rebels tried every means to stop him, Zheng Huaicheng still led people to rush out.

Rushing out of a thousand meters in one go, he turned his horse's head and stopped in front of the rebels again.

This battle also cost him a thousand men and horses, and he was distressed.

But war is like this, either you die or I die, there is no fluke to speak of.

Looking at the rebels who continued to rush over, Zheng Huaicheng frowned.

It seems that these people are also here for the ferry, and listening to what they just meant, they are only the vanguard, and the large army will arrive later.

I don't know if the marshal has received news from him, if the reinforcements can't arrive in time, I'm afraid I'm going to be in danger.

Attacking the camp of the Chinese army, he rushed towards the enemy's flank, and before the enemy could organize an interception, he had already penetrated the formation, giving full play to the advantages of the cavalry.

In this way, it is impossible to stop this cavalry, and the rebels can only be beaten passively.

Niu Xing did not retreat, relying on the advantage of numbers, and continued to approach the ferry.

He wanted to force the officers and soldiers to fight a decisive battle with him, otherwise he would rush directly to the ferry and destroy the pontoon bridge.

Seeing that the rebels were getting closer and closer to the ferry, Zheng Huaicheng also saw through this guy's intentions, and in order to hold the ferry, he could only be forced to face it head-on, and a tragic battle for the ferry broke out.

At this critical moment, Jia Cong arrived with a large army, quickly crossed the pontoon bridge, and joined the battle.

As soon as Niu Xing saw that the other party's reinforcements had arrived, he knew that he had no chance, so he decisively ordered the rebels to retreat.

A moment ago, the army was still in a stalemate, and it was so easy to retreat, only those rebels at the rear quickly broke away from the big battle and fled into the distance.

The rebels in the battlefield also wanted to flee when they saw this, but as soon as they turned around and ran a few steps, they were cut down to the ground.

For a time, there was a one-sided massacre on the battlefield, and the rebels in front of them were quickly resolved.

"Kill!"

Zheng Huaicheng brandished his sword and led the remaining cavalry to chase the fleeing rebels in the distance. These rebels, who had lost their courage, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and under the pursuit of the official cavalry, they did not dare to resist, but only cared about fleeing in all directions.

"Quick, stop, stop them for me!"

The rebel general Niu Xing shouted loudly, trying to get his men to block the pursuit of the cavalry so that he could escape.

However, at this time, the army's heart was in turmoil, and in the face of the cavalry rushing over with an indomitable momentum, they were even more panicked, only caring about their own escape, where would they listen to Niu Xing's orders.

Zhang Huaicheng led his cavalry, chased and killed these routs all the way, and soon rushed into the fleeing rebels, slashing left and right with the swords in his hands, killing these rebels crying wolf and fleeing for their lives.

It took more than ten miles to wipe out all these rebels.

······

When Zheng Huaicheng rushed back to the ferry, the army behind him was still continuing to cross the river.

came to Jia Cong's front and arched his hand: "Meet the commander, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored."

Jia Cong smiled mildly: "General Zheng guarding the ferry and killing the traitors is a great achievement, and the commander will let people write it down, report it to the imperial court, and reward him for his meritorious deeds."

Zheng Huaicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you."

After thinking about it, he said, "Marshal Qiqi, these rebels are the vanguard troops, I heard that the large army behind is coming, and the subordinates don't know whether it is true or not, and ask the marshal to find out."

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Ben Shuai knows, General Zheng will go down and rest first."

"Yes, my subordinates are retiring."

Zheng Huaicheng saluted again and turned to leave.

Jia Cong looked at the iron pillar next to him and said, "Tie Zhu, arrange a sentry to investigate along the direction of Yulin to see if this matter is true. Also, arrange for the captives to be interrogated to see if they can get some useful information."

Tie Zhu arched his hand and said, "Yes, my subordinates will do it."

Seeing Tie Zhu's figure disappear from sight, Li Biao smiled and said, "Dashuai, if those traitors really rushed over, it would be just right, it would be much easier to eliminate them outside than in the city."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "That's true, when the iron pillar finds out their location and detailed information, we can arrange it in advance, give them a head-on attack, and use cannons to bombard their mother." Ambush, ambush, that's our unique skill.

In this first battle, we must win beautifully, so that these soldiers of the imperial court will have confidence in me, raise the morale of our soldiers, and establish their belief that they will win, so that in the following wars, they will be able to fight bravely against the enemy."

Li Biao said: "Dashuai's plan is very good, through the observation of this period of time, most people don't have much hope for this war, and they don't believe in Dashuai's ability, so they can only

It is not a matter of using a big victory to stabilize the morale of the army and let them know that the prestige of the commander is not blown."

Qingwen snorted coldly and said, "These people can't do it themselves, but they question Dashuai's ability, this time I must slap them in the face to let them know how powerful Dashuai is."

Jia Cong shook his head and smiled: "It's no wonder that they are not to blame, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, after this battle, they will be convinced, and they will obey their orders."

Turning his head to look at the army crossing the river in the rear, at this speed, it would take at least half a day to be able to cross the river completely.

In addition to the rapid march in the past few days, the team is already very tired, and it is necessary to rest first, then set up a large camp nearby, while repairing, while waiting for the arrival of the rebels.

I don't know when the baggage battalion behind will arrive, and those cannons are still in their hands.

He said to Li Biao beside him: "Li Biao, pass the order, the army will set up camp ten miles ahead, let the army rest for a while, and wait for the baggage camp behind by the way. In addition, send fast horses to inform the baggage battalion, and tell them to speed up their journey and come over as soon as possible, at least to bring the cannons over first."

Li Biao arched his hand and said, "Yes, my subordinates will go and give orders."

Jia Cong said to Qingwen and Chunxiaqiudong: "This time I came to the Yellow River, I want to take a good look at this magnificent scene, it is said that this earliest human being, lived in the Yellow River Valley, and now there is nothing to do, let's go over there and have a look."

Several people came to a high ground and looked at the rolling Yellow River, which was majestic and magnificent.

I haven't seen this thing and feel curious, I've seen it and it's just like that, I'll be bored after watching it for a long time, and I walked along the bank of the Yellow River for a distance, and a few people returned to the camp.

came to his own handsome tent, and Tie Zhu and Li Biao also followed.

Tie Zhu said: "Great Marshal, we have investigated clearly, and according to this, the movement of the enemy's army has been discovered sixty miles away, and it has been observed that there are about seventy or eighty thousand people, and it is expected that they will be able to arrive here the day after tomorrow. According to the prisoner's confession, the commander of the army this time is called Li Chuang, and the one who was eliminated by us before is the vanguard force, and the main general is called Niu Xing, who is Li Chuang's general, and the purpose is also to fight for the ferry."

Jia Cong nodded, looked at Li Biao and said, "When will the cannon arrive, is there any news?"

Li Biao said: "Back to the commander, the cannon will arrive tomorrow, but the baggage team may not arrive until a day late."

Jia Cong said: "As long as the cannon arrives, the baggage team will be late, let's discuss, choose a suitable place for ambush, and then him fiercely."

As he spoke, he took out a map and spread it out, and searched for it carefully.

Several other people also hurriedly responded and stepped forward one after another.

If the other party knows the movements of his army, there are two possibilities, one is to directly pounce on it and start a big battle, and decide to live or die. The other is to fight steadily, set up camp at a distance of twenty or thirty miles, and slowly figure it out.

Then this ambush site is not very easy to choose.

The army needs to be repaired, and it is a little too late in time, it is too hasty.

With such a short distance, it is really difficult to find an ambush location.

Fortunately, it was just shelled with artillery, and the distance was not a problem.

After some discussion among several people, they finally selected a suitable ambush site that everyone agreed.

Then he carefully scrutinized the plan and details of the ambush.

handed over this matter to Li Biao, and he personally led people to arrange it, and did not let other generals know about it for the time being, just wait for the day of the launch, and let them follow the order.

These generals may have no problem, but they are afraid that these people will have a big mouth and tell the people around them that there are many people who know, and no one can guarantee that there are no enemy female cadres among them.

As the old saying goes: "If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, if the minister is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will be harmed, and he will not be out if he is cautious."

······

Three days later, Li Chuang directly led the army, five miles away, and looked at Jia Cong's army from afar.

Li Chuang, who was involved in this matter, already knew the news of the annihilation of Niu Xing's army.

Niu Xing was also lucky, and he hid in the bushes halfway.

Luckily, he avoided the search and finally escaped.

When he returned to Li Chuang's camp, his body was in tatters, just like a man named Hanako, if he hadn't reported his name and was recognized by someone he knew and brought in, he would probably be driven out by the gatekeepers.

Seeing Niu Xing's miserable appearance, Li Chuang and the others were startled.

"Brother Niu, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to seize the crossing of the Yellow River? How did it look like this? Where's your team?"

Niu Xing knelt down in front of Li Chuang, crying with a handful of snot and tears: "Big brother, it's gone, it's all gone, my team is all gone, and I'm the only one who escaped back."

"What? How is this possible, hurry up and tell me about the matter in detail, could it be that you met that Jia Cong?"

Li Chuang was taken aback when he heard this, that is 30,000 horses, and it will be gone in just a few days?

Niu Xing said: "That's not the case, I ran into ······."

told Li Chuang the whole story, and finally said, "If it weren't for their large army arriving, that ferry would have been taken down by me, it's really bad luck."

Li Chuang understood the cause and effect clearly, and after asking carefully, he said, "According to what you say, the strength of the official army is not very strong, not even your team, but it just defeated you by relying on more people?"

Niu Xing said: "Yes, big brother, compared with our team, the gap is not small, those officers and soldiers have never seen blood, it is really not worth mentioning, and please ask the eldest brother to avenge his brother."

The corners of Li Chuang's mouth twitched, according to what Niu Xing said, he didn't need to worry about anything at all, just crush the past.

The soldier's combat power is not good, no matter how powerful Ning Guogong is, there is nothing he can do.

Li Chuang comforted, "Isn't this just going to deal with them? What are you anxious about? Come with me, and we'll go and clean them up."

Therefore, Li Chuang's army came directly to Jia Cong's camp five miles away, and when he heard the news, he had already lined up to wait for Jia Cong's army to look at each other from afar.
