stubborn thief

The valley road between the mountains of Gulangxia is full of soldiers running all over the mountains and plains.

Bai Guangen's army was repelled by Zhang Tianlin's rocket launch, and the first place the soldiers thought of retreating was Panling by the Gulang River where Ding Shaoyin was stationed.

Ding Shaoyin, the commander of the Liangzhou Guards, really felt in a day that the battlefield is changing rapidly.

Liu Chengzong selected the warrior who scolded the army, and scolded him for three whole days at the foot of the mountain, which made Ding Shaoyin's soldiers refrain from talking on the mountain. In the end, Ding Shaoyin was so scolded that he almost lost control of the army. Shaanxi.

Ding Shaoyin said in his heart that if you really let you go down the mountain, wouldn't that fall into Liu Chengzong's arms?I can only ignore my personal honor and disgrace, and desperately follow the soldiers to be scolded.

At noon on the third day of the seventh month, Bai Guangen sent a message saying that the natives had reported finding an enemy army in the eastern section of Huangyangchuan, and he was going to stop the enemy army before returning to attack Liu Chengzong.

Ding Shaoyin's hanging heart finally relaxed, because he saw Liu Chengzong's back hand, as long as he pulled out this back hand, the problem of guarding Yingpanling would not be a big problem.

Who would have thought that just an hour after Bai Guangen sent the letter, another urgent report from the east was delivered to Ding Shaoyin, and it was Bai Guangen who said he was defeated and was gathering troops to move to Yingpanling.

Holding this document, Ding Shaoyin's head seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he was stunned for a long time without recovering.

He pondered for a long time before he realized that at this time and at this speed, counting sending letters to advance troops and retreating to send letters, it could no longer be said that he was out of battle.

Before Ding Shaoyin could react, all the horns, gongs and drums on the mountain suddenly sounded, and there was a sudden chaos in the camp. All the officers ran around the camp, asking the soldiers who scolded Liu Chengzong what they were cursing, and why they didn't attack for several days , suddenly this will attack?
Liu Chengzong stood in the camp at the foot of the mountain. He didn't care about the soldiers on the mountain scolding him at all. It was only because the Tang soldiers at the intersection of Gulanghe and Huangyangchuan in the east reported that the Ming army was fleeing there, so he ordered the Huben camp to fight against Gansu. The second battalion attacked the cottage.

He used the small team of the Huben Battalion as the attacking force, carrying light cannons such as Yongzhu to destroy the captives, and advanced towards the mountainside. Teams advanced along the mountain road overlapping each other to attack and defend, and cleared the way for the follow-up troops with a well-trained team.

Then the heavy artillery teams from various artillery positions at the bottom of the mountain bombarded the earth fortresses, archery towers, and battalion fences in the mountain. Amidst the roar of the artillery, the Ganzhou battalion soldiers stepped forward one by one, firing barrages with bird blunderbuss and three-eyed blunderbuss, and went up to the next level. advance.

For this attack, Liu Chengzong's army has been preparing for three full days. All the ministries are familiar with the shooting targets, and there is almost no need for senior generals to command. , I can't lift my head.

Liu Chengzong has become very familiar with the terrain of Yingpanling in the past few days. He knows in his heart that the mountain where the Ming army is stationed is difficult to capture easily, but the more so, the more he wants to eat this army... because he did not The energy slowly gnawed at each stronghold.

Take this Ming army, and other Ming troops stationed in a location that is not as good as Yingpanling will flee when they see him.

It's just that his main method of fighting against Yingpanling is still to encircle, and the current fierce attack is just a feint attack. To be precise, it is for the fleeing Ming army in Huangyangchuan in the east.

At this moment, Liu Chengzong didn't know that the Ming army that Huang Yangchuan ran over was from Bai Guangen's department. He made two-handed preparations. If Cao Wenzhao came from the east, he would surround the spot for reinforcements and use Suzhou, which has a stronger combat effectiveness, to fight against him. The camp dragged Cao Wenzhao.

If it was someone else, they would probably ignore Ding Shaoyin, and let them escape into the Zhuanglang River first. When Zhang Tianlin came from the east, Gulangxia announced that it would change hands. It will be self-defeating.

On the other side of Huangyangchuan, Bai Guangen, who was fleeing in a panic, was going crazy.

He didn't understand how he ran from Ganzhou to Huangyangchuan and still met this rocket-launching guy.

Bai Guangen is very sure that the general of the Marshal Army who used rockets on him twice is the same person.

Because the reactions after launching the rocket twice were all carved out of the same mold, just one word, fast.

Hundreds of big rockets bombed wildly on the battlefield, and before the smoke cleared, a fast horse rushed out of the smoke with a goose feather knife, and slashed at anyone it saw, rushing across the battlefield full of gunpowder in the shortest time , trampled on by the army that blocked the line of sight.

This light cavalry combat method has a strong personal style. Bai Guangen has been bombed twice in five months, and he has completely understood it.

How should I put it, this is a cavalry or servant team of 100 to 5000 people, which is enlarged to [-] people.

Military technology has advanced in this era. It can be said that it is difficult to see pure troops on the battlefield with thousands of people. They are all flower teams. Flower teams include infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and the weapons used by various arms are different. Not the same, there is a stronger division of labor.

For example, Bai Guangen's army is a flower team, and they have the ability to fight independently, while Zhang Tianlin's army is basically a pure team, and the tactics are the same.

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry can only play a decisive role in the three stages of surprise attack, harassment, and breaking the formation. The enemy will have to encircle them if they form a majestic formation. It is too expensive to force the formation with artillery.

However, Zhang Tianlin used a large number of rockets to cause a lot of damage in a short period of time, smoke obscured the line of sight, and cut off the enemy's command. In fact, he used props to replace the infantry artillery in the flower team.

Bai Guangen felt that he was being targeted.

Your family, Liu Chengzong, fought in Gansu for half a year. Your army didn’t fight anyone, but you caught me fighting. Twice, how much hatred?

He especially wanted to ask the enemy general, did I steal your millet?

However, Bai Guangen ran all the way to the fork of the Gulang River, and when he heard the booming cannons and loud shouts on Yingpan Ridge to the west, he realized that he was not the only one being targeted, Ding Shaoyin on Yingpan Ridge was worse than him.

He was still able to run anyway, and the officers in the army were all survivors of the rocket attack for the first time. This time, they all reacted very quickly. Many people turned their horses back and ran back immediately, although the army did not run as fast as the rockets. , but after all, he didn't stand still and act stupid like when he was bombed for the first time.

But they were scared out of their wits after all, and even fled all the way here, they didn't dare to form an formation, and the soldiers under a management team didn't dare to stand shoulder to shoulder, for fear of being blown up by rockets released from some mountain.

Along the Huangyang River, galloping all the way to the fork of the Gulang River, the vigorous horse was so tired that it foamed at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground the moment Bai Guangen reined in the reins.

Bai Guangen, who rolled off his horse, got up from the ground, picked up the fallen bowl, and stared blankly in the direction of Yingpanling.

In the afterglow, heavy lead clouds pressed down on the top of the mountain, and the rumbling cannons on the other side of the mountain were like thunder coming from the sky. This sound made the beard on his cheeks stand on end.

Such a burst of cannonballs woke up Bai Guangen, who was terrified by the rockets.

At this moment, seeing him fall off the horse, President Qian Bai Chaozai hurriedly got off the horse, led the horse forward and said: "General, ride my horse, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

However, Bai Guangen didn't accept Bai Chaozai's kindness. He stared nervously, opened his mouth slightly, and shook his head slowly, "I can't run south. Liu Chengzong is attacking Ding Shaoyin."

Bai Chaozai couldn't understand: "It doesn't matter what General Ding is, let's go to Zhuang Langwei first."

Bai Guangen still shook his head, he didn't care about Ding Shaoyin's life or death, but he woke up after the catastrophe, let the clever IQ occupy the high ground again, and realized that they had fallen into a dead end.

Bai Guangen has not fought many tough battles, but he is considered experienced in hundreds of battles. He was chased and fought by the army on the battlefields of Shaanxi and Shanxi, which are thousands of miles deep, and he also cooperated as a senior general of the army on the battlefield.

He is very familiar with the combat methods of the heavy army group.

At this time, the situation on the Gulangxia battlefield sent him a very dangerous signal: Liu Chengzong, who was attacking Ding Shaoyin, was fighting with the Marshal's army who defeated him.

Liu Chengzong blocked the north, Zhang Tianlin drove him west from the east, Bai Guangen was fully sure that the enemy's purpose was to let the two of them meet at Heisongyi.

What's more, it was obvious that he and Ding Shaoyin were caught in the middle, and it was impossible for the two enemy forces to communicate tactics temporarily through the arrival of pond soldiers, reconnaissance cavalry, and orders. This meant that Liu Chengzong had premeditated this battle at the beginning.

Falling into the trap premeditated by the enemy, Bai Guangen thought it was not too much to think of the worst possible situation of the battle.

In Bai Guangen's heart, the answer was ready to come out. On the battlefield of Gulangxia, at least one army under Liu Chengzong's command had not yet reached the combat position.

This location should be to the south of them, most likely in the fork in the south.

Now that the ones in the north are blocking, and the ones in the east are pushing out, and they are blocked after pushing out, what is waiting for them next?They are all demon kings who were killed from the sea of ​​corpses and bones in Shaanxi. Isn't Liu Chengzong a kind man who spent a lot of trouble just to let them escape from the south?

impossible.

"We are surrounded."

Bai Guangen spoke convincingly, glanced in the direction of Yingpanling, shook his head and said: "Ding Shaoyin will not survive, but we can still live, run south across Yingpanling, and then run ten miles to stop the flags and drums, ambush them, and kill them. In order to return to Huangyangchuan, run from Shixiaguan to Ningxia."

For Bai Guangen's subordinates, as long as the general speaks out about this plan, it doesn't matter whether there is an ambush from the marshal's army in the south.

Because compared to Zhuang Langwei, who was guarded by only a thousand soldiers from Lu Yunchang, fleeing to Ningxia was the plan that could win a way out.

Even if they fled to the south, it was only a matter of time before Zhuang Langwei fell.

Soon, less than [-] soldiers under Bai Guangen's men made a full posture, gathered the troops and saluted in the direction of Yingpanling, and then ran south without looking back.

Zhang Tianlin's pursuit was very careful, focusing mainly on driving, not keen on killing. His mission in this battle was to drive the enemy westward to the Black Pine Forest Horse Post. As long as they reached the fork of the Gulang River, the two enemy armies did not merge. , his mission has been accomplished.

The fork of the Gulang River was like a signal. The rout soldiers did not join Ding Shaoyin here, nor did they intend to attack Liu Chengzong, which meant that they were frightened and had no fighting intention or threat.

After all, it is common sense to speculate that they had a chance of 5000 troops converging and 2000 becoming [-], so they gave up; they didn't even have the courage to fight to the death with [-] people, so what big things can [-] people do?
Zhang Tianlin thought that the time had come, so she ordered the troops to pursue and hunt them down. After traveling south for only a few miles, they bumped into several slow-moving Ming army squads. , launched a hot pursuit.

The Ming army fought while retreating, stretching their bows and galloping to the south for two miles. The Ming army teams resting at the foot of the mountain roads regrouped and merged into the ranks fleeing south.

The cavalry of Zhang Tianlin's troops ran rampant, and charged against the rout along the river bank in two directions, and rushed straight to the ambush circle near Heisongyi. For a while, the sound of the three-eyed blunderbuss sounded from all over the mountain ridges, and four groups of ambushes came from the mountain road. Separate lanes to intercept and kill the pursuers.

The scattered cavalry were chasing happily, when suddenly a few trumpets sounded, and ambushes rushed out from three sides, catching Zhang Tianlin's cavalry by surprise, people fell from their horses everywhere in panic, and the scattered cavalry also barely gathered in the charge.

Zhang Tianlin was blown away.

He did underestimate the enemy, very underestimated the enemy, but the reason for his anger was not that he underestimated the enemy, but that he became angry from embarrassment.

In fact, he was lucky to underestimate the enemy this time, because if he hadn't underestimated the enemy, as a commander from the rebel army, he should have been at the forefront of the front line, and most likely he would have been decapitated in the ambush.

It was precisely because he underestimated the enemy that he never thought that the subordinates who were chasing the enemy in front would be ambushed, so he fell behind and reflected on his tactics.

Originally, Zhang Tianlin was very satisfied with her new tactics. Rockets and cavalry could defeat the enemy even without the assistance of infantry and artillery, twice!

There is a feeling that the world's officials and soldiers are nothing more than this. With this momentum, after the Battle of Gansu is over, we will compete for the top five generals in the commander's office.

He even planned to suggest that Liu Chengzong spread his tactics to the whole army. As long as the rocket tubes were enough, they would blitz all the way to Guanzhong.

However, during the pursuit, the captured Ming army had already confessed that this defeated battalion was the same as the previous defeated battalion, and the general was named Bai Guangen.

Thunderbolt!
The simple name made Zhang Tianlin feel angry.

To put it bluntly, Bai Guangen never provoked him, but Zhang Tianlin was pissed off by being defeated twice by this guy—the whole world is nothing more than the official army, and his mother Bai Guangen is nothing more than that, the sense of accomplishment brought to him is poor How many times.

What kind of dirty thing is Bai Guangen? Even if he defeats Bai Guangen [-] times, Zhang Tianlin will not feel any sense of accomplishment, but just when he was angry, he was ambushed by Bai Guangen.

Zhang Tianlin thought that I hadn't fallen into Pingyang yet, but just took a nap after eating and was bullied by dogs?

Filled with anger, Zhang Tianlin rearranged his formation and observed the battlefield, while at the same time gave orders to his generals to retreat and knock them down.

For a while, as the horn sounded, Zhang Tianlin's cavalry, who were fighting fiercely with the ambush on the front line, left the enemy in front of them one after another, pulled their horses back, and shot back with their bows and arrows.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield reversed. Seeing the success of the ambush, the two thousand troops of Bai Guangen's army became more and more courageous as they fought.

During the galloping retreat, Zhang Tianlin turned her head while running, reorganizing the team to observe the enemy's situation.

Seeing that the enemy's formation was disturbed during the pursuit, and the cavalry was out of touch, and the own cavalry was also ready to return to the horse to fight to the death, suddenly a loud cry came from his mouth, and all the cavalry raised their hooves and stood up, one by one, the experienced cavalrymen who came out of the army around them reined in. Holding the reins, he raised the Yanling knife, trampled and stomped on it, and rushed back into the enemy's formation with a wild cry.

good evening!
