Chapter 341: Waves

Li Yan clenched the horsewhip, the burden of Qianjun pressed on his shoulders, and the cold sweat had already wet his back.

In the distance, the fiery red pole was getting closer and closer to the trap he had set.

Victory is just around the corner, just wait for the sound of the cannon to sound the time of this great victory!

As long as the Hanzhong army that went out of the city to meet the battle, it was easy to capture Kaifeng, and it was like probing for something.

As long as the Hanzhong army is defeated, as long as the Hanzhong army is defeated......

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang!! ”

The deafening sound of guns suddenly sounded, Li Yan trembled, and he only felt a trance, and the loud explosion sound was like a fairy sound in the sky, which made him feel extremely unreal.

In an instant, the big stone in Li Yan's heart also fell to the ground at this time, and he almost couldn't help crying with joy.

Chen Wang, you've been tricked!

It's just that......

After experiencing a brief period of joy, Li Yan seemed to have thought of something, his face stiffened, and his eyes stared at the southwest of the large array.

Why is it that the sound of guns and cannons has sounded, but no smoke has risen?

At such a distance, shouldn't there be gunpowder smoke first, and then there should be sound?

Why, the cavalry formation of the Hanzhong army stopped moving.

Why, the fiery red face is no longer moving forward.

Li Yan rode on the war horse, deep fear rose from the bottom of his heart, and his heart beat uncontrollably, even if he was on the noisy battlefield, he could still hear his own violent heartbeat.

Noise!

Li Yan's eyes suddenly sharpened, when was it, and the noise began to sound in the big array.

Before, all his attention was placed on the southwest, on the cavalry formation of the Hanzhong army, and he didn't realize that the surroundings were beginning to become noisy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang bang!! ”

The sound of the huge cannon sounded again, and this time the sound of the cannon was heard by Li Yan very clearly.

It was indeed the sound of a cannon, and he heard it right.

But the sound of the cannon did not come from the southwest, but from the northwest!

Li Yan's face changed drastically, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he suddenly turned his head and looked straight to the northwest.

Just in the northwest direction, the thick smoke of gunpowder had already covered the entire front, and orange-red firelight continued to appear in the distance.

Above the Pingchuan is full of red flags, and the vision is full of the armor of the Ming army!

"Kill!!"

And almost at the same time, the wind of hunting was already carrying the tsunami-like shouts of killing in the mountains.

The huge shouts of killing constantly pressed Li Yan's spirit.

Li Yan clenched his teeth, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of astonishment and unwillingness.

Why!

Why?

Why at this time, in the north-western direction, the enemy's cavalry will appear!

Li Yan's lips were pale, his hands couldn't stop trembling, he held the whip in his hand tightly, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into a cold ice cave.

The truth is unacceptable, everything in front of him makes Li Yan feel extremely unreal, as if everything is illusory.

Li Yan's eyes were red, staring at the northwest direction.

In the north, north of Kaifeng City, the Ming army did have a cavalry unit.

But that army was following Chen Yongfu to quell the rebellion in Yangwu, north of the Yellow River......

In the big array, there was a lot of noise and noise.

Just in the northwest direction, thousands of Ming army armored cavalry had already entered the battle like a mountain of mountains.

The rumbling hooves became louder and louder, and the low sound of the riding horn had already been connected.

The dissolved gold of the setting sun was scattered on the armor of the Ming army who rushed into battle, shining like a heavenly soldier.

A sharp saber was raised into the air, and the cold light confused the dim sky.

Li Yan never thought that there would be traces of the enemy in the northwest, and he did not set up any defenses in the northwest.

The elite and artillery in the army were all mobilized by Li Yan to the front of the large array, as well as to the southwest.

All the attention was also placed in the southwest direction by Li Yan.

The north-western front was extremely weak, one might even say that it was not fortified at all.

In the face of the sudden attack of the Ming cavalry, the armor soldiers of the Wanmin Army in the northwest did not have the slightest defense.

The armor of the Ming army was like a heavy hammer slammed on the tofu, but in an instant, the military formation of the Wanmin Army in the northwest was already smashed to pieces and scattered all over the ground.

……

"Woo————"

The low sound of the cavalry trumpet echoed in the cavalry formation of the Hanzhong army.

The huge cavalry formation of the Hanzhong army also slowly stopped at the same time.

In the cavalry formation, the sound of trumpets and drums continued, and countless flags continued to fly.

In just a moment, the armored cavalry of the Hanzhong Army has completed a series of military orders such as stopping, stopping, and adjusting.

The front team became the back team, and the back team became the front team.

Such a move had already been pre-studied countless times when they were training.

However, such military orders are generally issued when there is a change during the march.

But this time, it appeared on the battlefield of the Jin Ge Iron Horse.

However, all the cavalry of the Hanzhong Army still unswervingly carried out the military orders they received.

The greatest advantage of cavalry over infantry is mobility.

On the battlefield, the cavalry stopped moving, undoubtedly putting themselves in a position of disadvantage.

However, in many cases, when a military order is issued, it is still necessary to judge it according to the actual situation.

Chen Wang was originally about to give the order to turn normally, but the chaos caused by the attack on the Northwest of the People's Army was even more serious than he expected.

Most of the cavalry remaining in the large array of the Wanmin Army galloped to the northwest, and if they wanted to gallop to the northwest, there was not much threat at all.

And they are still more than 300 steps away from the military formation of the Wanmin Army, which is enough for them to calmly change their formation and adjust their cavalry.

And the rout of the surrounding Wanmin Army has already lost their armor and is only thinking of fleeing for their lives, and they are unlikely to pose any threat.

With the sound of marching horns, the armored cavalry of the Hanzhong army began to march again under the leadership of Chen Wang.

Only this time, their direction was not to the southwest, but from south to north, galloping all the way along the front of the Great Array of the Ten Thousand Peoples.

The large array of the Wanmin Army was already greatly shaken because of the attack in the northwest.

Now that they saw the Hanzhong military armor that had gone to the southwest and returned, many soldiers were even more frightened.

They don't understand, why the armor cavalry of the Ming army has returned, haven't they already fallen into the trap set by King Xin?

The cavalry of the Ming army does not seem to have decreased, and the momentum has not decreased in the slightest, could it be that the people in the south have lost the battle, and the military formation has been broken?!

Ordinary soldiers are in the middle of a large array, and they can't see the overall situation at all, they can only rely on what is happening in front of them to speculate about the situation of the battle.

Not far ahead, the galloping Hanzhong army armored cavalry, as well as the constant noise from the rear of the large array, all made them feel extremely frightened in their hearts.

There must have been something going on that they didn't know about, something bad had to have happened.

Once such a thought comes out, it is difficult to suppress it.

It's not just one person who is cranky, but everyone who is starting to think cranky.

Chen Wang held the horse lance in his hand and drove the war horse under his seat all the way forward.

He turned his head, and in his left vision, the formations of the Ten Thousand People's Army were constantly moving towards the rear.

The morale and morale of the army cannot be seen or touched.

But you can feel it.

Chen Wang could feel it clearly.

In the army of all people, the morale of the army has been chaotic and morale has been lost.

The People's Army, in the end, is just a fledgling rebel army.

Li Yan is familiar with military strategy, but most of the time is only on paper, and the time to really lead the troops is still not long.

The People's Army is indeed like a regular army, but in essence, it is not a real regular army.

They are still a long way from being completely reborn.

If there is no base area and no separatist party, it will be difficult to reverse the spirit.

Even if it broke through Luoyang and defeated the main force of officers and soldiers in Henan.

However, most of the people in the Wanmin Army thought that they were just trying to find a way to live, and they did not think that they could completely defeat the imperial court and build a new dynasty.

What Li Yan has been doing is to make the generals and soldiers of the Wanmin Army under his command believe in him, believe that he can turn things around, be able to divide one side, and completely defeat the Ming court.

What Li Yan is doing now is actually what Gao Yingxiang wants to do.

It's just that Gao Yingxiang didn't do it, and now Li Yan can't do it for the time being.

Chen Wang's gaze was indifferent, scanning the slightly chaotic large array of the Ten Thousand People's Army.

He knew very well that as long as he was willing to pay a certain price now, he could completely defeat the main force of the Wanmin Army led by Li Yan.

The main forces of the Wanmin Army are now all concentrated in Xicheng, and once the main force of the Wanmin Army is defeated, the rest of the people are just local chickens and dogs, and they can't set off any wind and waves at all.

The Wanmin Army will also become another stepping stone for his promotion.

……

"The Hanzhong army went north?"

Li Yan looked fixedly at the armored cavalry of the Hanzhong Army galloping away from the south to the north, even though most of the cavalry formation of the Hanzhong Army had passed, he still felt incredulous.

He didn't expect anything to happen in the northwest, and chaos swept through the Great Array one step ahead.

Li Yan has actually lost control of many of the troops under his command, and has been focusing on stabilizing the defense line in the northwest.

Li Yan clearly knew his military command level, and the reason why he was able to win in the continuous battles was either because of the enemy's contempt, or because of the poor information on both sides.

And it's not because of how good he is at arranging troops and how good his command is.

When stabilizing the defense line in the northwest, Li Yan did not give any orders to the other formations at all, nor did he notice the situation of the other formations.

It wasn't until he made up the defense line in the northwest and sent reinforcements to rush to the aid that Li Yan noticed the situation in front of him and broke out in a cold sweat.

The front line has been in a panic, and there have even been incidents of soldiers fleeing and even forming formations to flee.

If at that time, the cavalry of the Hanzhong army charged, the entire large array would undoubtedly collapse.

But......

The cavalry of the Hanzhong army did not choose to charge into battle......

Li Yan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he couldn't understand why Chen Wang didn't choose to attack.

A famous general like Chen Wang, who can calculate him as he counts, can go all the way to this point, how can he not see such a simple and clear situation.

Obviously, as long as one charge and pay a certain price, he can let the Wanmin Army led by him collapse after this battle, so that the turmoil in Henan will gradually disappear......

Why, Chen Wang chose not to choose to rush directly?

Li Yan's thoughts were chaotic, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts kept colliding in his mind.

A crazy idea gradually came to his mind.

"Chen Wang......"

The blood in Li Yan's eyes had subsided, and his eyes were terrifying, because the thought in his mind was too crazy.

"That's it."

"That's it."

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain all this now......"

Li Yan's eyes kept swimming, and the crazy thought in his mind made him can't help but mumble to himself, as if he wanted to use words to convince himself.

The fiery red Daxu was still heading north, and Li Yan's gaze followed the fiery red Daxu slowly moving north.

Li Yan watched as the cavalry of the Hanzhong Army rushed into the military formation he left in the northeast, and cooperated with the Ming army armor cavalry that suddenly broke into the large formation from the northwest, and defeated all the troops on the left flank of the northern formation.

The total annihilation of the left flank was a huge loss, but it was not unacceptable.

Li Yan turned his head, his gaze moved away from the cavalry formation of the Han Central Army in the north, and turned to the southeast.

Just on the horizon in the distance, in the loud and long sound of horns, countless black flags had covered the wilderness in the southwest corner of Kaifeng City, which was the cavalry he had originally planted in Nancheng.

The original plan was that after the clay pot led the troops in the southwest to block the armored cavalry of the Hanzhong army, the rest of the troops came together, leaving the cavalry of the Hanzhong army as much as possible.

Now, however, their mission needs to change.

"The order is to the whole formation, our reinforcements have arrived, and all departments must stabilize the military formation."

"There are only a few thousand officers and soldiers, but we have more than 300,000 people, so there is no need to be afraid!"

The left flank of the northern formation has been completely abandoned by Li Yan.

At this moment, there must be the determination of a strong man to break his wrist.

At this time, Li Yan no longer had the slightest fear in his heart, because he had already understood the root of everything.

You can't go wrong.

"Bang! Boom! Bang bang! ”

The loud roar and explosion returned, still the sound of guns.

Only this time, the direction of the cannon sound was not from the northwest, but from the southwest.

Li Yan turned his head and looked in the direction of the southwest.

In the southwest corner, the direction where the clay pot was located was already covered by thick white gunsmoke.

The continuous sound of cannon fire was like thunder in the sky, constantly echoing in the sky above the field.

Li Yan's expression was indifferent, without the slightest flustery, and even the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sneer.

He had always been cautious, and he did not expect that the Ming army would have cavalry suddenly appear in the northwest direction, which was his miscalculation.

But in other things, he had already thought it through.

Li Yan has never trusted Gao Qian.

The possibility of Gao Qian's pretended surrender, Li Yan had actually expected it a long time ago.

He was in the southwest, and he had already prepared a big gift for Gao Qian.
