The southeast of Jishan Mountain, the north of Lianshui, Wenxi County.

A large group of people and horses are walking on the post road from Jicheng-Jiangxian-Wenxi, and this team of people and horses is naturally the Bai'anbu people who originally guarded Jicheng as expected by Long Thirteen.

At present, there are almost 3,000 horses to ride, and Bai An is only the deputy general of Xuanfu, where can there be so many horses?

What's more, there are still a lot of cavalry in it.

You must know that after the blow of Xiaoqiang Brigade 3, except for a few family members in the hands of the generals under Hong Chengchou, there is no more cavalry.

In November (December of the solar calendar), the cold wind of early winter has begun to wreak havoc on the land of Sanjin, and faintly, the sky seems to have faint snowflakes.

At first, the snowflakes were tiny, tiny, and intermittent, except for the occasional chill, which made it impossible to feel its presence at all.

Gradually, the snowflakes began to grow larger, and after half an hour, the sky seemed to be sprinkled with catkins, and suddenly it darkened.

Bai An, who is four years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, is a native of Xuanfu and a family of military generals, however, in Daming, unless you are really brave and good at fighting, and you are lucky, you can meet the Ming Lord, just like Hou Xun is to Zuo Liangyu, and Liu Hongxun is to Liu Zeqing, otherwise it is still difficult to get ahead.

However, Bai An was lucky, he met the former governor of Xuanda, Zhang Zongheng, who was very good at singing Kunqu opera Yangzhou thin horse, and Bai An happened to have two sisters in his hands, of course, Bai An used to be in charge of the defense near Zhangjiakou, so he naturally received heavy bribes from the eight families, and Yangzhou thin horse was one of the bribes.

After learning that Zhang Zongheng was also good, Bai An, who was originally a guerrilla in Zhangjiakou, hurriedly offered his sister flowers, so he became Zhang Zongheng's cronies and rose all the way to the high position of deputy general.

The original Xuanfu commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu is said to be transferred to Denglai, so it will be a certainty that he Bai An will take over Yang Guozhu's position.

However, the Shanxi thieves who originally thought that they would be captured made Zhang Zongheng fall a big way, not only made him lose the position of governor of Xuanda, but also was transferred to Zelu as the newly established governor of Zelu.

When Zhang Zongheng was transferred to Zelu, it was naturally impossible to transfer him over, so Bai An became the most unambitious one under Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi.

However, although he didn't treat Bai An very well, Hong Chengchou still didn't abandon him, and now in addition to his Xuanfu people and horses who are going south with Bai An, there is also Zu Kuanqi!

Yes, the imperial court transferred Zu Kuan to Hong Chengchou again.

It seems that the imperial court has made a huge bet this time, in order to stop Long Shisan and his Xiaoqiang camp north of the Yellow River, not only transferred Zu Dabi, Deng Xi, and Liu Liangzuo, but also transferred Zu Kuan, who was originally in Zelu to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Zijin Liang, to the battlefield in southern Jin again.

Therefore, according to the strength of the Dragon Thirteen Brigades, if you want to eat Bai An in one bite according to the previous plan, and then threaten the remaining two roads, and then look for another opportunity to find fighters, it will be in vain.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was taking Yang Jiamo, Hong Chengchou, and Li Bei to cross the road between Jishan and Gushan to the south, while the newly arrived Sichuan general Deng Xi took Zu Dashou's younger brother, known as the "Zu Er Maniac", who was second only to Zu Kuan in bravery, and Liu Liangzuo, the general on the left side of Datong, went south from the post road west of Gushan.

What Bing Feng pointed to was naturally the base camp they had prepared early in the morning - Linyi County.

Long 13 set up secret posts in the area of Gushan-Jishan-Purple Mountain in the middle and Wuling Mountain on the east side, and together with the scouts, the news quickly reached him.

According to the marching speed of the Ming army, whether it was Hong Chengchou, Deng Xi's department, or Bai Anbu, it would take two days to reach the vicinity of Anyi County, so he had some leeway.

He still sent his men and horses to block the Bai Anbu, but this time, he did not send the fourth brigade of Wu Dading, which was prepared as a partial division, but the second brigade of He Jinlong.

"The big boss, I think it is appropriate to send the Fourth Brigade, but it is snowing heavily at the moment, which is not suitable for the firecrackers to fight, and the Fourth Brigade is only missing firecrackers and artillery compared with the other three brigades."

Seeing this, Li Xin hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Otherwise," Long Thirteen shook his head, "Since the enemy has increased the Ancestral Kuanbu, then the battle will not be able to do it for a while

If it is enough, if there are more firearms, you will be able to set up camp, and you will be able to guard the camp when the main force attacks."

"Our soldiers all have wide-brimmed hats, even if it snows heavily, once the camp is completed, they can cover the dragon head of the fire gun and the primer pool, and if they can't take the initiative to attack in the field, can't they rely on the camp to shoot?"

In addition, he also wanted to experience He Jinlong and Long Xiaoshi, compared to the others, the assignment of these two people was still too low.

Moreover, according to what he asked the locals, the first snow in early winter is often not heavy, and it is over in a day or two.

What's more, this is still the Xiaoice period when the weather is extremely dry?

So, despite public opinion, he still sent He Jinlong.

Shuitou Fort, where Shuitou Town is located in later generations, is now a Baihu Fort, and it is here that the heavy snow suddenly stopped, Rao is so, this snow has also fallen for half a day, and there has been an inch of snow on the ground.

At this time, He Jinlong's brigade was still far from Shuitou Fort, and Bai An's army was also about here!

One is in the south of the post road, the other is in the north, and after the detectives of both sides, the size and location of both sides are unabashedly passed to the main general.

North.

Since leaving Dengzhou, the fierce general Zu Kuan, who followed Zu Dabi south to attack the rebels in Dongjiang Town, and slaughtered cities in the eastern prefectures and counties of the Shandong Peninsula, was gone, and was replaced by a taciturn general.

All of this was naturally brought to him by Long Thirteen's small strong brigade, and Zu Kuan's subordinates originally had a thousand elite horsemen, but now there are only people left.

Zu Kuan is a herdsman under the third son of the Karaqin Great Chief Subutai, and most of the people on the border of the Ming Dynasty are fierce, and the herdsmen of the Mongolian tribes near the border of the Ming Dynasty are also brave people.

At this time, it was common for Mongolia and Ming to cross the border wall to each other's territory to fight grass and valleys, and those who lived on the border, whether it was a peasant household or a herdsman, could not survive without two children.

Since Zu Kuan became Zu Dashou's righteous son, he has risen to the high position of guerrilla general, and even his tribe has been honored, and almost all the young men have joined the army.

His thousand cavalry was not lost in the hands of the brave Manchurian cavalry, nor in the hands of Li Jiucheng, the general of Dongjiang Town, who had the courage of ten thousand people, but it was lost in the hands of the thieves who had always been looked down upon by him.

This made his pride disappear in an instant.

Although he regained some glory in the battle to encircle and suppress Zijinliang, the damage brought to him by the Xiaoqiang brigade was too great, and half of the Mongolian herdsmen who followed him died on the battlefield in Shanxi, and in the end even the bones were not recovered.

Rao is like this, he still followed Hong Chengchou's order to return to the battlefield of Pingyang Mansion.

Because he thought about it and decided that he still wanted to "find back what was lost there"!

Of course, he was not completely without support, this time, he put the cavalry equipped with three-eyed guns, short axes, and bones in the front of the team, and the cavalry who were the best at archers followed, ready to fight to the death with Dragon Thirteen.

After the snow, the sky is clear, and the snow is an inch thick.

It's cold and slippery, this is how Zu Kuan and the others feel.

But for He Jinlong and others in the south, it is competent and pleasant.

Without him, Dragon Thirteen's invincible weapon, the nail set, has made a grand debut.

Not only the cavalry, but also a pikeman was equipped with a nail set, that is, the musketeers and artillery were not equipped.

At the age of nineteen, He Jinlong, who had a long face, was thin and tall, summoned seventeen-year-old Bai Wenxuan and sixteen-year-old Long Xiaoshi to discuss.

"First"

He Jinlong said.

It is also strange to say that he was originally only one of the leaders of the children's battalion under Li Zicheng, and He Jinlong, who was known as Li Shuangxi, became a general under the command of Long Thirteen, and no one could say why.

"Hong Chengchou's department and Deng Xi's department are also heading south, and the Hong Chengchou department in the middle road is only a mile away from us, that is to say, once our department and Bai Anbu's department fight a scorching battle, Hong Chengchou's soldiers and horses will quickly be rescued and supported."

Bai Wenxuan said with a smile: "Li, that means that they are far away from the big boss, will the big boss sit idly by?"

He Jinlong looked solemn

, "To the west of Hong Chengchou, there are three divisions of Deng Xi, and Deng Xi has 3,000 white pole soldiers under him, and the battle formation is strict, and the advance and retreat are orderly, and it is said that the rebels in Dongjiang Town suffered a lot of losses under the city of Dengzhou."

"Also, there are 2,000 cavalry under Zu Dabi, and there are also hundreds of cavalry under Liu Liangzuo, the general on the left side of Datong Town, not to mention anything else, there are more than 2,000 cavalry on the way to save him, and the cavalry of our department adds up to two."

Long Xiaoshi also nodded, "Now it seems that Hong Chengchou deliberately arranged it this way, there are many of them, if our army guards itself and does not take the initiative to attack, they will surround us to death, and then follow the tactics of besieging Kong Youde in Dengzhou, digging a few trenches around the camp, making it difficult for me to enter and exit."

"So, we can only take the initiative to attack, but there are three ways, any one way is not easy to get along, once one way is attacked, the other two roads will swarm, because it has three ways, you can contain our army camp all the way, and the other way to come to the rescue."

"And if our army wants to take the initiative, it will only be before they have a foothold, and it will be bad if we wait for them all to set up camp."

He Jinlong nodded, "So, we must defeat Bai Anbu as soon as possible, and defeat the party before Hong Chengchou and Deng Yu arrive, once Bai An and Zu Kuan are defeated, Hong Chengchou and Deng Xi will be sad, and at that time, the fighter will appear."

Long Xiaoshi said: "Hong Chengchou's death of the fox is certain, but Deng Xi and others may not, they have not fought with us, it is said that the soldiers of Dongjiang Town are braver than the Guan Ning army, they are even surrounded by the rebels of Dongjiang Town, how can they be afraid of us and other thieves?"

"And once Deng Xi doesn't retreat, Hong Chengchou is the commander, and there is no reason to retreat, it is not easy to find a fighter."

Bai Wenxuan shouted: "Okay, let's ignore that Hong Chengchou and Deng Xi for now, how can this Bai An and Zu Kuan deal with it now? I've got to get a real chapter out of the way."

He Jinlong nodded, "That's ......."
