Chapter 137: The Han people who make good use of the Mengqi

Zhu Gaoxu took the soldiers and horses to hide in a certain jungle on the east coast, ate lunch in advance, and then rested, recovered his strength, and counted the time.

In the morning, Chen Hui took a large force of cavalry out of the camp, and made a few circles along the Baihe River, but did not encounter the main force and advance of the Yan army, and at noon, the whole army returned to the camp, and sent a small number of sentry cavalry to guard outside.

It was freezing outside, and the southern army was thinly dressed, so they really couldn't stay long.

Zhu Gaoxu kept sending people to observe, and not long after, his subordinates reported that in the distance on the other side of the river, the smoke was curling, and Chen Hui's soldiers and horses were making lunch. (At the same time, it is used to heat the fire)

"Wait a minute." Zhu Gaoxu laughed, thinking that the fire on the other side had just risen, and he had to burn it, and it was best to kill them when they were eating.

After estimating the time, Zhu Gaoxu saw that it was almost over, and with an order, the vanguard hundred horsemen divided into ten roads, rushed out of the jungle, and crossed the ice on the White River.

Because the war horse has iron hooves, it is not very slippery to run short distances on the ice, the key is not too fast, the northern army is very experienced in this regard, everyone lowered their bodies, lay on the back of the horse, and walked slowly.

There are also people who do not ride horses, but lead them over.

Like Zhu Gaoxu, he is stronger, but he is afraid that the ice will not be able to withstand it, so people and horses walk separately.

He found a soldier to lead his horse, and then strode on the ice.

The weather was extremely cold that day, otherwise the Southern Army would not have turned around a few times and returned to the camp to heat up.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked another section in the morning, he also trapped a few horses, and this time the whole army passed safely.

The time he chose to cross the river was just right, the southern army was eating, and many sentinels would also find a place to shelter from the wind and eat some dry food.

After the whole army crossed the river, they did not encounter the sentry cavalry of the Southern Army.

It wasn't until it approached within five miles of the Acropolis of Zuotun in Yingzhou that it was discovered by the opposite sentry.

At this time, in the Acropolis of Zuotun in Yingzhou, the governor Chen Hui was eating mutton, which he sent someone to "buy" from Shunyi County.

The young emperor said two things in front of the generals.

The first is not to hurt the life of his fourth uncle, and the second is not to hurt the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, King Yan can slaughter the county town that refuses to surrender, and the county seat that they finally recaptured has to spend money to buy things.

Shunyi City was the first to surrender to King Yan and was hostile to the Southern Army.

Many of the young men in the city were drawn to defend Beiping City.

According to Chen Hui, all the people in the city should be moved to Jinan, and then the elderly should be ordered to go to Beiping to appease the young people in the family, and if they do not comply, they will be beheaded.

But the court didn't let you do this, they were all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all my people, so you must remember that you can't hurt my people.

Emperor Jianwen's words were still in his ears, and the more Chen Hui thought about it, the more angry he became, so he could only eat mutton to vent his anger.

Because all the generals of the Southern Army knew that King Yan had slaughtered Mancheng and several other county people who swore to resist to the death and refused to surrender.

"Dudu, brothers haven't eaten meat for a long time, why don't you go to Shunyi County tonight and buy a little more." A thousand households on the side asked at this time.

"Buy a fart, it's better to rob it up." Someone shouted.

Chen Hui wanted to speak and stopped, and took a bite of mutton, he didn't know the taste of meat for nearly half a month, of course he wanted to eat it well today.

I was about to speak, when suddenly someone slammed the door outside.

"Newspaper."

"Report to the governor, the Yan army is here." A sentry rushed in in with terror.

"What?" There was a sudden burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the room, and the generals got up one after another, and someone accidentally overturned the table with a bang, and just a pot full of mutton soup directly overturned on its side and fell to the ground.

Everyone stared at the fat mutton on the ground, angry and pityful.

"Special mother, don't you give a good life? Fight with them." Chen Hui angrily slammed the half-bowl on his hand and slammed it to the ground.

"Immediately return to the camp and gather the troops and horses."

"Zhu."

"How many people are there?"

"Thousands, all

It's cavalry."

"The whole army is attacking, special mother, eat horse meat tonight." Chen Hui said angrily.

"Governor." Someone was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you close the city gate and guard it first?"

A lot of people nodded.

"the nun's fart." Chen Hui scolded: "What if we hold on, and the main force of the Yan army bypasses us and goes directly to fight the commander?"

What Chen Hui said also makes sense, because I don't know how many people Yan Jun came.

What if it was five thousand strikers who were entangled with them here, and then one hundred thousand iron horsemen bypassed Shunyi County and hit Li Jinglong?

As soon as everyone heard that it made sense, they had no choice but to hurry out of the house.

At this time, it was very chaotic outside, everyone was originally warming up and eating, but suddenly heard the sound of assembly, everyone scolded and threw down their rice bowls.

Some people still have hot cakes stuffed in their mouths, drink a few sips of hot soup to warm their stomachs, and then go to lead the horses.

After a while, a thousand households rushed out of the acropolis with hundreds of horsemen who gathered the fastest, arrived outside the city, and then non-stop, divided a hundred horsemen to Zhengcunba to warn Li Jinglong and ask for help.

Hundreds of other horsemen began to form outside the city, followed by a large number of cavalry out of the city.

Chen Hui has a city that he doesn't defend, and there is no way to come out to fight in the field, if he defends the city to the death, and the main force of the Yan army goes around to fight Li Jinglong, he is a big crime.

Li Jinglong asked him to resist the Yan army, and he had to fight.

And hearing that the other party only had 5,000 horsemen, if Chen Hui didn't do it, it would be a big crime among the worst crimes.

But he hurriedly gathered his troops and horses, and everyone was eating again, which was really a bit chaotic.

Except for the first wave of the collection which was a bit fast, the back dragged on.

When he heard the rumbling sound of iron hooves in the distance, Chen Hui watched before and after reining in his horse outside the city, and his more than 10,000 cavalry, excluding the hundreds of sentry horsemen outside, now less than half of them went out of the city to gather.

", it's really slow." He raised his whip and cursed.

Now it's not a romance, the other party will run to the front of the battle, and wait for his whole army to come out before fighting, if he guesses correctly, the Yan army on the opposite side will definitely be non-stop and rush straight over.

Such a good opportunity to fight in the field, can the other party let it go?

As he expected, the opposing horse team began to increase speed when it was two miles away, and it was obvious that it was about to rush directly.

"Prepare for battle."

"Dai Qianhu will take your men to the South Wing."

"You Qianhu, take your people to the north wing."

"The rest of the ministries assemble to me."

"Go up, go up, give Lao Tzu."

Chen Hui was in a hurry to meet the battle, and he couldn't choose the battlefield he liked, there was no way, the Yan army on the opposite side rushed too fiercely.

In order to make room for those who left the city behind, he now had to hurriedly let half of the soldiers and horses that had not yet fully formed their troops and horses go forward.

"And this kind of good thing?" On the other side, Zhu Gaoxu and the generals were also inexplicable at this time.

Originally, he wanted to attack Chen Hui, but when he approached the Acropolis, he was discovered by the Southern Army Sentinel.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had to consider whether he would attack the city? He is all cavalry, and he will definitely not attack the city, and he is also thinking that if Chen Hui does not go out of the city, he will bypass it, but he did not expect Chen Hui to lead the troops out.

The key is that Chen Hui, a fool, is a little dizzy.

There are two gates in the east and west of the Acropolis of Zuotun in Yingzhou, and Zhu Gaoxu's whole army came from the east, he wanted to close the east gate and go out to gather from the west gate, and it is estimated that there will be time to gather all the soldiers and horses.

Now Chen Hui stupidly called the whole army out of the east gate, and Zhu Gaoxu was in the arms.

Before half of his troops and horses came out, Zhu Gaoxu's 5,000 horsemen had already rushed into two miles.

At this time, Chen Hui's soldiers and horses were in chaos, and many thousands of households were not their own soldiers and horses, and everyone was in a mess, and they were not effectively assembled together.

Chen Hui had already called, and everyone rushed forward in a hurry, wanting to make way for the back space and let the soldiers and horses in the city come out.

Some wise men in the city have gone out from the west gate with their horses and soldiers, because the east gate is too chaotic.

At this moment, boom, the cavalry on the opposite side became faster and faster, and the two sides were getting closer and closer.

"Fengtian Jingjing"

Zhu Gaoxu was the first to roar, and the Yan army roared wildly, and their morale was greatly boosted.

The southern army was already in a panic, and the weather was cold, so they didn't even want to shout and kill.

The cavalry formation of the two sides is like two hands, one side is clenched together, and the other side is the five fingers apart, or even separated.

Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry rushed into the southern army like a hammer.

The chaotic Southern army was almost scattered in one fell swoop, and the cavalry on both sides of the scene landed one after another, and most of them were Southern troops.

Zhou Hu and other Yan army generals were in front, almost with the momentum of destroying and decaying, and immediately tore the southern army's cavalry formation in half.

Chen Hui only found out at this time that the Yan army seemed to be the soldiers and horses of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County.

In the battle in Zhending City, he had already been broken by Zhu Gaoxu, and now that he saw Zhu Gaoxu again, he suddenly felt bad.

Zhu Gaoxu's forwards are very fierce, they are all veterans who have fought vicious battles with Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhou Hu is even more unstoppable, and there is almost no enemy.

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu told him that he would specifically find the enemy general to fight.

Zhou Hu rushed into the formation and found a thousand households, and picked up the axe without saying a word.

After a few back and forth, with a snort, they cut the other party under the horse, and the southern army suddenly made a commotion.

At this moment, suddenly everyone heard, whew, there seemed to be the sound of wind in the air.

The southern army subconsciously raised their heads.

The sky was full of arrows, and a piece of black pressure flew over.

It turned out that Zhu Gaoxu was standing dozens of paces away at this time, his 5,000 cavalry rushed up to 4,000, and another 1,000 slowly slowed down their horses behind, and then lined up in several columns behind the charging cavalry, and then, Zheng, Zheng, Zheng, each of them threw three rounds at the front.

These three rounds of feather arrows flew into the rear of the southern army like rain, and all kinds of screams, all kinds of arrows, and fell from the horse in the southern army.

As soon as someone looked up, he fluttered and was shot in the face.

Someone turned his back to Yan Jun, fluttered, and was shot in the back.

There were also people who were not hit by arrows, and their horses were shot, and they also fell from their horses.

On the battlefield, people turned on their backs, and the southern army was severely damaged by this wave of arrows, and the originally chaotic southern army array was even more chaotic.

Then the 1,000 men split into two teams, left and right.

Song Meng led a team, and Hong Zheng led a team, and they shot around the left and right flanks of the southern army.

These two teams are all Mongols who are skilled in archery, and they are the original Duoyan Three Guards and Horses.

In Zhu Gaoxu's hands, they can be regarded as really exerting their strength.

Chen Hui's soldiers and horses were not assembled, and the number was not much different from the Yan army, where they had been beaten like this, and the four thousand cavalry led by Zhou Hu almost praised them with a charge, and then they were plundered by the Mongols, and they collapsed immediately.
