Because they are all cavalry, the camp of the Yan army in Sujiaqiao is very sloppy, after all, the march will be demolished early tomorrow morning, and it is really impossible to make a stable camp like the infantry army.

In the big tent, Zhu Di was eating while flipping through the military newspapers, and when he saw the spy report sent from the south, his brows furrowed slightly.

The Southern Army is moving much faster this time... Although in the end, most of them were going to fight a decisive battle in the field, but it was not a good sign that the southern army moved so fast this time.

Originally, I didn't expect to rush to the city of Texas and burn down those acropolis, which were more than half built, but now it seems that there is no hope at all.

Feeling a little depressed, Zhu Di put down the military newspaper and accelerated the speed of eating.

The army that went south this time, as Xu Huizu expected, was not as exaggerated as 200,000 at all, but only 120,000, including 70,000 foot soldiers and 50,000 cavalry, and today there are 40,000 cavalry who arrived at this Sujiaqiao.

It has always been taboo to fight a war by going deep alone, but in Zhu Di's opinion, the decisive battle between himself and Li Jinglong will definitely take place further south, and these 40,000 cavalry just want to see if they can catch Li Jinglong off guard, such as rushing into Texas and setting fire when Li Jinglong is defenseless.

Zhu Di has confidence in himself for his ability to command, and he feels that he has a deep understanding of Li Jinglong's guts.

If you really want to talk about it, he should be in the rear and let others lead this cavalry, after all, as the commander-in-chief, he must always command Ruo Dingcai in the back, but after so many years, every time he marches and fights, he has always been the first to rush to the front, and this time he really can't help the temptation of attacking Texas, so he took the first step and let Zhang Yu take the army to the rear and slowly move south.

In fact, he knows that this habit is not good, the commander of the three armies will come to the front line every time there is a war, once he encounters an accident, the army will basically collapse without a fight, but his habit has lasted for many years, and he has to change it all at once... I really can't change it.

Besides, rebellion is a business that pins your head to your belt, and you still care about that?

The dishes on the table, just like when Gu Huai visited him in the palace, were extremely simple, and after drinking the remaining little tofu soup, Zhu Di was about to go to patrol the camp again, when he heard the sound of killing in all directions, and even the ground shook slightly, sprinkling some dust.

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he got up in confusion:

"Enemy attack?"

……

If you really want to talk about it, Ping'an and Zhu Di should be regarded as the same kind of people, because whenever there is a war, they never shout "brothers", but they often show the morality of "comrades come with me".

This time was no exception, and Ping An was the first to arrive at the intended place of attack, as he was ahead of the whole army.

There's really no better opportunity than this... Even though there was a huge disparity in strength, this may be the only time that the Southern Army's scouts outnumbered the Yan King's scouts, and before the Yan King learned of the movements of the Southern Army's vanguard, he first found the Yan Army's camp.

Qu Neng is like a gambler who has lost a red eye, and Ping An doesn't want to break his demons? The high-flying Yan King, the Yan King who has been fighting for more than ten years, if he can defeat him head-on, then what kind of risk, as long as there is hope of winning, he dares to bet!

He and King Yan have entered the grassland many times, and I have seen with my own eyes that he has also had times when he was anxious and hesitant, and Ping An knew that King Yan was not a god in the mouth of those little soldiers, he was just a person! A person who will hurt, lose, and panic when attacked!

There's nothing more to say, now that it's been decided, let's bet to the end!

The 10,000 pioneers of the Southern Army, who had finished resting, marched forty miles in a hurry, and when their horsepower was restored, they launched a charge towards the camp of the Yan army.

As in previous battles, Ping'an picked up his spear and was at the forefront, he quietly looked at the Yan cavalry who had not yet mounted their horses for a moment, and then took the lead in rushing towards the Yan army.

And Qu Neng's father and son, who had already experienced despair under the city of Beiping, did not hesitate, this time the vanguard seal was given peace, they could only be regarded as deputy generals, but the main general gave them this opportunity to wash away their shame, and the main general charged towards the opposite side, what else did they have to hesitate?

All the southern troops were stunned, from Texas to the present, the chief general called Ping'an did not say some good things to them like those court generals in the past, and even before this attack, he did not encourage them to half a point, but who would have thought that this main general would actually rush towards those Yan troops like this, instead of watching them die like those generals in the past?

After being stunned, they finally reacted, and in the earth-shattering shouts of killing, they began to charge with the main general.

It was nearly evening, and the Yan cavalry who had been camping and feeding the horses had not had time to react, and the vanguard army of Ping An rushed into the camp like crazy and slashed and slashed, back and forth, and it was a coincidence that the southern military camp that was attacked first was mostly the Yan cavalry, in the face of the sudden attack, they failed to react in time, and they could not organize a decent means of defense.

Everything is such a coincidence, the Yan army, which has won a hundred battles, did not expect that the southern army, which has always been weak in their eyes and even always amused in the army, would be so brave, plus when night fell, only shouts of killing were heard on all sides, but they couldn't tell whether the galloping figures in those camps were enemy soldiers or comrades, but in a moment, the Yan army camp was in chaos, and countless soldiers were defeated and fled.

Hearing the news, Zhu Di, who came to the frontal battlefield, sank his heart when he saw this situation, he had been in charge of the army for many years, just by looking at him, it was difficult to convey the military order in this situation, and it was impossible for the soldiers who had been shrouded in fear and panic to calm down and organize a counterattack, and what made him feel cold the most was that the appearance of these southern troops here, didn't it mean that Li Jinglong had already arrived at Baigou River?

How did he do it?

How many ambushes are there waiting for you?

Has a closure been formed?

As soon as these problems came up, Zhu Di uncontrollably thought about the worst, thinking that he might have fallen into the trap set by Li Jinglong, and that he might have laid a net near the Baigou River, ready to swallow his 40,000 cavalry, he was already a little discouraged.

The ambition when he went south had disappeared, and he had just begun to war, which he did not expect at all, and in desperation, he could only hurriedly pass down the military order:

"Cross the river, break the bridge, break through!"

Why cross the river? Because the southern army appeared on the north bank of the Baigou River, and Li Jinglong wanted to encircle himself, the troops must be concentrated on the north bank, cutting off the connection between himself and the infantry army behind, without knowing the specific situation and the next possible attack, Zhu Di made what he thought was the most secure and only feasible plan - to break through to the south.

Ordinary people will hide if they are beaten, and the army will retreat if they are attacked, if Li Jinglong really sets up an ambush, it will definitely be a dead end to go north, and if he crosses the river and breaks the bridge, maybe there is still a glimmer of life!

……

"Ping'an is already at war with King Yan? King Yan was defeated and broke through, and he has reached the south bank of the Baigou River? ”

At dawn, Guo Ying, who set out from Zhending and led the front army to Baigou River, listened to the scout's report, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

How did the war start so early? The 600,000 troops of the imperial court were divided into three routes, the front army led by himself set off from Zhending, Li Jinglong led the Chinese army north from Dezhou, and An Luhou Wu Jie led the rear army to escort the grain and salary out of the three provinces between the rivers.

How could it be that there was a fight yesterday? How did Yan Jun get here?

There were many things he wanted to ask, but the scout knew very little, and a hand reached out from the side and interrupted him: "Don't worry, Ping An dares to do such a surprise attack, naturally he is sure, and he did win, 40,000 cavalry... Last night's battle should not be a big loss, and Yan Wei still has the strength to fight. ”

Xu Huizu, who was not a general in the army and was more like a supervising army, frowned and looked at the north: "The question now is, what about these Yan troops who have crossed the river?" ”

Comrades fought bloodily on the north bank, the front army naturally could not look blankly on the south bank, Xu Huizu's judgment was fast and accurate - Ping'an's troops are not many, and the casualties that can be caused are limited, although the front army from Zhending has nearly 100,000, but they are all foot soldiers, and there is no encirclement, the most urgent question at the moment is what to do next, in order to make Ping'an's raid meaningful.

Guo Ying was stunned, and came to his senses: "Wei Guogong wants to..."

"To ride on foot, you have to force the cavalry to the point where you have to fight to the death in advance, and you have to form a formation to resist the horse and gun shield to cut off its sharp spirit," Xu Huizu sighed, "Although I can find out the whereabouts of the Yan army through yesterday's battle, and Ping An is still chasing after him at the moment, but the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and there is a lesson from yesterday, Yan Shun does not dare to easily expose his flaws, and if the national public is not bad, Yan Shun's rear army... I'm afraid that I have to rush here and set up camp to confront each other. ”

Guo Ying can be regarded as a short-tempered general, if the person in front of him was not Xu Huizu, he would have been impatient for such a long time, but now he still said patiently: "Shouldn't I report to the Chinese army first, and then wait for the military order?" ”

Xu Huizu said lightly: "The soldiers are fast, wait for two more days, when the Yan rebel army arrives, there will really be no flaws, even Ping'an dares to attack 40,000 with 10,000, and 100,000 foot soldiers still dare not fight with one?" ”

This was what Guo Ying thought in his heart, but he was afraid that Xu Huizu, who looked strict and upright, would not agree, so he asked, and when he saw that Xu Huizu also agreed to find Yan Jun to beat the water dog, he was overjoyed: "Yes!" The last will be the order..."

"For the generals to guard against arrogance and rashness, now that the bridge is broken, the Yan army can't return to the north bank, and they don't dare to march south, so don't be too anxious, you should prepare well," Xu Huizu smiled and beckoned, and the pro-soldiers on the side stepped forward quickly, holding up an object, Xu Huizu took it gently: "I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon..."

"Grandpa Guo, what is this?" Looking at the black iron ball, Guo Ying was a little puzzled.

Xu Huizu did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Do you know the deeds of my father Xu Da?" ”

Guo Ying stood up straight and looked respectful: "I naturally know that the prince of Zhongshan started from the end of Wei, although he practiced martial arts when he was young, he never studied military books, and he learned from the army..."

Xu Huizu nodded and said, "Yes, this is what my father taught me. ”

He took out a piece of white silk and gently wiped the iron ball: "No one is born to fight, and no one is born to understand everything... Everything can be learned, even if you have never been exposed to it, and it doesn't matter what method you use to win the war. ”

"From the day of the fall of Beiping, the imperial court knew that Yan Yi had such a weapon, but what made me very puzzled was that no one mentioned this matter until the later battle of Zhending? Why can't anyone think about it, since this thing can be used by Yan Zhi, and it is very useful, the imperial court... But don't use it? ”

"So I gathered the craftsmen, found what Yan Wei left on the battlefield, and gave them half a year, and then they gave me a big surprise."

"The court asked me to go north, and I could have not come, but I still came, because I had to bring these things."

Xu Huizu smiled: "Now that I think about it... It's also time. ”
