Because the little emperor said that he was transferring troops from all over the country, Ping'an and He Fu decided not to fight with the Yan army in the field and defend the city.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately called Song Meng, a member of the pro-soldier team: "The southern army gives up the periphery, let us go back and forth, and prepare to hold on, you take people to run around, and complete the simple topographic map around as soon as possible." ”

"No." Song Meng took the order and left, and after a while, the two hundred sentry cavalry were divided into twenty teams and galloped away in all directions.

Li Yuan, Li Xian and others didn't know what was going on, but when they arrived that evening, these people returned to the camp and brought back dozens of drawings.

The group reunited, and soon the general terrain within fifty miles around the Lingbi appeared in Zhu Gaoxu's camp.

Although it looks extremely rudimentary, and there may be omissions in many places, in this Ming Dynasty, there will be no such topographic map among the two armies.

Li Yuan and Li Xian were full of praise, and in one day, the locations of important mountains, rivers, junctions, and large areas of jungle within fifty miles were clearly displayed on the map.

At the beginning of the Jingnan army, Zhu Gaoxu taught these things in the sentry battalion, and the soldiers have also been learning to read and draw, and in the past few years, his sentry cavalry team has been very familiar with this line, first divide the area they are responsible for, draw their own, and then summarize them, of course, there must be errors, and some errors may be relatively large, but it doesn't matter, at least it is enough now.

Because the next day, they will run again, and if they have time, they will run the third day, the fourth day, and gradually improve, and they will become more and more accurate.

It was also on the same night that Zhu Gaoxu reported the situation here to King Yan, who discussed with the generals on the issue of bypassing this soldier and horse, taking the Beijing division directly, or defeating He Fu and Ping'an, and decided that he could not let go of Ping'an and He Fu.

Because Ping An has 60,000 elite cavalry in his hands, and he is also the largest cavalry in Nanguan now, even if the Yan army bypasses them, Ping An can catch up at any time.

In the next two days, the whole army of the Yan army slowly crossed Suishui and returned to the north bank of Suishui, and many soldiers and horses also came to Qimei Mountain.

Seeing the place where everyone had failed miserably, many Yan generals were unconvinced, and vowed to teach He Fu and peace a good lesson this time.

At this time, the whole army of the Yan army was in the northwest of Lingbi, and the southern army was building a large number of buildings in Lingbi to do a good job of long-term fortifications.

After King Yan saw it, he didn't plan to storm Lingbi, thinking that Lingbi County was too small, and more than 100,000 southern troops were stationed, and the grain and grass were definitely not enough, so he decided to cut off his grain and grass.

He sent Tan Yuan's younger brother Tan Qing as the main general, leading a group of elite cavalry to plunder grain and grass everywhere and cut off the supply of the southern army.

But the Yugoslav army also reacted immediately.

At the end of April, Ping An personally led 60,000 elite horsemen to guard the grain and grass.

At this time, the grain and grass of the southern army disembarked from Qinghe County.

Qinghe belongs to Huai'an, and the horse Meiyin sits in Huai'an, training recruits here on the one hand, and collecting grain and grass here, providing a steady stream of soldiers and horses and grain and grass for the front.

He Ping led 60,000 elite horsemen out of the city, and the Yan army did not stop him and let him leave.

After arriving all the way to Qinghe County, tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass got off the ship here, and then transported to Lingbi.

The Yan army waited for them to come back, and at the beginning of May, the southern army entered Hongxian County, and safely surrounded the 60,000 elite cavalry regiments to transport grain, stretching for several miles on the official road, which was not spectacular.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was hiding in a nearby jungle with his headquarters soldiers and horses.

From the topographical map of his subordinates, he found that this jungle was extremely terrainous, and it was conducive to hiding, and his five thousand soldiers and horses were hiding here, no more, no less.

If there are too many soldiers and horses, they can't hide.

When Ping'an led 60,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp before, there were generals in the Yan army who wanted to fight Ping'an, but King Yan still decided to wait for Ping'an to come back and fight.

In this way, on the one hand, it is necessary to protect the military rations, and on the other hand, it is necessary to fight with the Yan army, and it is definitely impossible to take care of the end and the end.

At this time, the Ping'an Army sentry rode everywhere, and was also investigating the whereabouts of the Yan Army, for fear of being ambushed.

When he walked to the west of Hongxian, suddenly a cannon rang out, the Yan army ambushed the soldiers in all directions, and the king of Yan personally led 80,000 soldiers and horses to directly safe the army, and the two sides suddenly had a scuffle.

Ping An was not in a hurry, he walked while fighting, and continued to retreat towards the spiritual wall.

The two sides fought for two hours without a win, and when Zhu Di, the king of Yan, saw this, he adjusted his troops and horses, gathered heavy troops, and rushed straight to the southern army from the middle.

As Li Xian said, he let the feudal cavalry charge the battle, relying on the courage of the feudal cavalry, regardless of casualties, and finally divided the southern army into two.

This angered Ping'an, and he didn't even care about food and grass, and gathered all the soldiers and horses to fight to the death with the Yan army.

More than 100,000 people of the two armies in front were fighting in full swing, and Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses in the jungle were closing their eyes and recuperating.

Li Yuan, Xu Xiang and other generals all surrounded Zhu Gaoxu, and they didn't know what Zhu Gaoxu was thinking.

But this battle was not commanded by Zhu Gaoxu, nor was it Li Yuan's intention, it was King Yan who asked Zhu Gaochu to find a place to hide, thinking that he was ambushing.

It's just a place for ambushes, let Zhu Gaochu choose by himself, so Zhu Gaochu found here.

This position is in the middle of Hongxian and Lingbi, the Yan army and the Ping'an army in front of the battle, everyone thought that Zhu Gaoxu would wait for the Ping'an defeat or retreat to pass, and then intercept and kill.

It seems that this is what King Yan means.

After waiting for a morning and afternoon, about four o'clock in the afternoon, some of the cavalry of the southern army, about seven or eight hundred horses, retreated frantically from the east, as if the soldiers and horses were safe and went to the Lingbi.

Zhu Gaoxu's subordinate generals were in a commotion, and when they heard the report of the sentry horseman, some people asked if they would fight?

Zhu Gaoxu listened, shook his head directly, and did not fight.

Father only let us ambush, but how to fight, you have to listen to me.

Li Yuan also nodded: "Ping An has not been defeated yet, these soldiers and horses are not interesting." ”

Xu Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, because it was not necessarily a safe defeat, what if the Yan army was defeated? But these words must not be said now.

The generals were all talking about how to fight peace, and Zhu Gaoxu listened to it and said: "It doesn't have to be peace. ”

Everyone was stunned.

"He Fu may send troops to rescue Ping'an, let's fight He Fu, He Fu has many infantry, and there are no cavalry."

Zhu Gaoxu's mantra is to pinch persimmons and pick soft.

Ping An'an is cavalry, He Fu is almost all infantry, why don't you fight infantry?

When the special infantry came out to the rescue, they may be trotting, and the formation is also long, not dense enough, and the cavalry will break through as soon as they rush.

When the generals heard this, they suddenly realized.

Li Yuan praised: "Everyone is thinking about how to fight peace, King Gaoyang can think of fighting He Fu, and he really has the demeanor of a king." ”

The generals followed and patted their ass.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, are you praising me or hurting me? I don't want to be Zhu Di.

But I have to say that Zhu Gaoxu has gone from a rookie to many battles in the past three or four years, and has become more and more mature and has more and more routines.

When King Yan let him ambush, he also asked him to prepare for a surprise attack on Ping'an.

I didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to think the other way around and raid He Fu.

Because as long as He Fu's soldiers and horses are defeated, the Ping'an army will definitely be in turmoil and defeat itself without a fight.

Sure enough, at about four o'clock in the afternoon in the later generations, He Fu couldn't help it, and decided to go to the rescue to support Ping'an, and personally led 50,000 cavalry out of the city, of which the infantry accounted for the majority, and the cavalry was only 3,000.

Zhu Gaoxu watched He Fu's cavalry pass by first, waiting for the infantry battalion behind.

He Fu was in a hurry to save Ping'an, but he didn't expect that there was a large force of soldiers and horses ambushed in the jungle, and he didn't have time to send sentry cavalry to investigate.

Tens of thousands of infantry lined up in a long line jogging on the officialdom, and after about 10,000 people in the vanguard passed through the jungle, Zhu Gaoxu gave an order and the whole army attacked.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves shook the earth and startled the southern army.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu did not have many soldiers and horses, only 5,000 horses, but the southern army was now growing in formation, and was trotting to rescue, and suddenly encountered an ambush, He Fu was also frightened and hurriedly signaled to huddle together to keep warm.

The infantry could only fight the cavalry if it was intensively formed.

But Zhu Gaoxu rarely used cavalry to charge the infantry in battle, he was still the same old routine, almost running in the opposite direction and the southern army.

Tens of thousands of infantry of the Southern Army marched from east to west, forming a long line.

Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses rode parallel to the southern army from west to east, shooting as they ran.

Whoosh, a dense rain of arrows fell on the Southern Army's infantry formation.

Zhu Gaoxu rode a thousand-mile horse, holding a Zhang Ershi bow in his hand, followed by a team of personal soldiers, and Yang He followed closely with his horse lance.

He was running and observing the battlefield, which was very interesting, and he felt more and more that he had a lot of ideas.

Tens of thousands of infantry of the Southern Army marched from west to east on the official road, and his soldiers and horses formed a parallel line from east to west.

But all of his cavalry were armed with bows.

At this time, they ran westward, and at the same time threw into the southern formation, and everyone hardly wanted to aim.

Because this line is full of the Southern Army, no matter how you shoot, as long as it is not too far away, the feather arrows will fall into the Southern Army's formation.

There was a commotion in the ranks of the Yugoslav army, there were shouts and shouts everywhere, and the command of their various units was not uniform.

Some people want to rush forward, some people want to defend on the spot.

But no matter whether he rushed forward or defended on the spot, he couldn't touch the tail of Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses.

The cavalry came and went like the wind, and after a burst of projectiles, it was tens or even hundreds of meters away.

This is the same as the tower defense game, Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses are moving arrow towers.

Zhu Gaoxu now usually carries two bows with him, a two-stone bow and a three-stone bow.

He can easily pull up the three-stone bow, but he can't withstand a long burst of fire.

So in the current situation, he is quite comfortable with a two-stone bow.

He ran all the way to the east, and whenever he saw a general of the Southern Army commanding outside, he immediately drew his bow and arrows, and with a whoosh, someone on the opposite side would inevitably fall in response.

"Your Highness is amazing." The pro-soldiers behind him praised one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu almost missed the arrow, and every time he pulled the bow, he would hit someone.

He Fu's tens of thousands of troops stretched for several miles, and Zhu Gaoxu's soldiers and horses ran all the way, walking in the opposite direction, constantly shooting, and almost shot He Fu's entire army.

It was the first time He Fu had seen such a war.

At this time, He Fu was in the north of the formation, listening to various commanders coming over to complain.

How will this battle be fought?

You have to defend on the spot, Yan Jun won't fight with you at all, he has already finished shooting and ran back, you don't care, Yan Jun will definitely turn back after a while.

He Fu had no choice but to order the soldiers and horses behind him to gather forward at a speed, and at the same time concentrate all the archers in the infantry battalion.

But the mile-long infantry does not mean that it can be concentrated.

Zhu Gaoxu shot all the way from east to west, and then the whole army made a 180-degree turn, once again parallel to the southern army, and continued to shoot from west to east.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in front also sounded at the same time, and He Fu's three thousand elite horsemen had turned back when they heard that the infantry camp had been attacked.
