The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 279 Divide up the troops and go north to reveal the flaws

When Cao Ziyan learned that the first batch of grain and grass delivered by Huazhou was burned by the Hengshan cavalry, his face turned pale.Now he finally understood Lin Yifan's plan. He wanted to destroy his own supply line, cut off his food and grass, and force him to withdraw or divide his troops.

This blow can be said to have hit his own weakness, and the grain and grass mobilized from Huazhou will not be able to be transported to the military camp in the future.If we divide our troops to go to Jishan Pass to receive food and grass, we are afraid that we will be taken advantage of by the enemy.The current situation immediately put him in a dilemma.

Immediately, he called all the generals to discuss, and finally decided to give up the siege of Jing'an City, but instead stayed [-] soldiers and horses to surround it, and the remaining [-] soldiers and horses went to attack Pingyuan County.At the same time, all [-] cavalry in the army stayed in the south of Jing'an City, responsible for protecting the food road and monitoring the movements of the enemy's cavalry.

After the order was issued, the army immediately moved into action. One stayed under the city of Jing'an, another set off its camp and headed north, and the other cavalry rolled southward without knowing where they were going.

In Jing'an City, after receiving the report from his subordinates, Li Yuan seemed to be several years younger. After more than half a month of worrying, he could finally relieve his frowning.

Just when he was overjoyed and ready to celebrate, Ye Hongyu stood up and poured cold water on him, "My lord, it's not time for us to relax our vigilance. A part of the imperial army is going north and is about to attack Pingyuan County. Now, there is no one in Pingyuan County. There are 1 defenders, of which there are only more than [-] capable soldiers. The enemy's [-] troops attack the city, and the situation is still not optimistic. If they are allowed to capture the county and obtain the supplies in the city, the enemy's food and grass will be sufficient, and we will be peaceful. Ancheng will be caught in a hard fight again, I hope the lord will not be careless."

Li Yuan's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Mr. Ye, have you been worrying too much? Although there are less than [-] people in Pingyuan County, there are still [-] Hengshan people who can help you. How can the imperial army take it away so easily?" ? The old man wants a celebration banquet now, one is to reward everyone for their hard work during this period, and the other is to boost morale and appease the hearts of the people. Do you think this old man is inappropriate?"

"This, I dare not." Ye Hongyu's face changed, and he said quickly, "It's just that this subordinate feels that it may be safer to hold the celebration banquet after the enemy's retreat."

"Sir, there is no need to say more, this matter is settled." Li Yuan stretched out his hand and said in a cold voice, "Sir, you can go and invite General Qin, and invite him to the banquet at that time."

"Yes, my subordinate obeys." Ye Hongyu nodded bitterly, but he was very disappointed in his heart. Now that the situation has started to improve, the lord has become self-willed and does not accept advice.If it goes on like this, how can it end well, alas!

In a small town less than fifty miles away from Jishan Pass, there was an uproar of people and war horses neighing.A Hengshan military flag stands in the middle, fluttering in the wind.In a private house in this town, Lin Yifan and his group gathered here.In front of them was a crude sand table.

The topographic map centered on Jishan Pass is piled up on this sand table, with black and white flags inserted on it.

"Everyone, according to the report from the scouts, the enemy has dispatched [-] troops to Pingyuan County, and our plan can start." Lin Yifan looked at everyone seriously, "Now is the most critical time, do you have anything to add? ?"

"No, everything is ready now, just wait for your lord's order." Luo Yi exchanged glances with everyone, then stood up and said.

"Okay! If that's the case, tell the whole army to get ready and prepare to attack!"

Inside Jishan Pass, Shi Geng watched a new batch of food and grass slowly heading north under the escort of cavalry, feeling very worried.A lesson from the past, this time, with the escort of [-] cavalry, will they be attacked again?

On the avenue, the convoy moved forward slowly, Unit Xing, who was the commander of the eight thousand cavalry, felt extremely uneasy at this moment, and great fear kept lingering in his heart.For this reason, he deliberately sent a large number of scouts to cruise within a radius of [-] miles, always monitoring the surrounding movement.

But now nothing is found, and everything seems to be very peaceful.

Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder sound in the distance, rumbling.Everyone looked up at the sky, and found that although the sky was gloomy at this time, it was not rainy. How could there be thunder?

Unit Xing suddenly turned his head back, looking at the source of the sound, his eyes showed fear, "It's not thunder, it's the sound of cavalry running!"

Sure enough, a cloud of flying dust was seen rising in the distance, and a very thin black line appeared on the horizon.

"It's the enemy cavalry! Hurry up and form the formation! Hurry up and form the formation!" Shan Xing shouted hoarsely.

The scene was chaotic, with only three thousand county soldiers constantly pressing down, driving tens of thousands of civilians to form a semicircle around the grain carts, and distributing the weapons prepared on the carts to the civilians, letting them line up on the outside, and standing on the sidelines. Supervise the battle later.After a while, the entire convoy formed a simple defensive circle, and everyone nervously looked at the gradually clear enemy cavalry ahead.

After a while, a booming sound that shook the world, accompanied by a boundless tide of cavalry, rushed to the front of the formation, and everyone was dumbfounded in despair.Looking around, there are at least tens of thousands of cavalry in front of them. How to fight this battle?
When they came to the front of the formation, the Hengshan cavalry also stopped.Luo Feng led [-] cavalry forward, looked coldly at the enemy in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Surrender and don't kill, those who resist will die!"

"Kill, kill, kill!" The tens of thousands of cavalry behind them immediately shouted in unison, cracking the sky and frightening their souls.

The county soldiers and civilian husbands in the formation were already trembling, and their weapons were almost unsteady.If it weren't for the fact that Unit Xing was sitting in the back, it might have collapsed long ago.

Shan Xing swallowed hard, looked at the current situation, and tried to calm his emotions.I still have [-] cavalry, not only well-equipped, but also experienced three or four years of hard training, even if the number of the opponent is higher than my own, I will not necessarily lose, no, I will definitely not lose!

After calming down the restlessness in his heart, Unit Xing drew out his saber and stared at the enemy opposite him with a stern face, "Brothers, we are soldiers of the empire, and we should take it as our duty to be loyal to the emperor and protect the country. Rebels are rampant, treacherous, today's battle , only death! Brothers, kill a thief and make meritorious deeds. In one fell swoop, kill!"

As he spoke, he waved his saber and galloped forward first.Seeing that the lord general is so brave, all the cavalry officers and soldiers are full of blood. He is a righteous teacher. Why are you afraid of the younger generation, who will use his head to make an indelible feat today.

"Kill!" The court cavalry rushed out, charging towards the Hengshan cavalry with a decisive momentum.

Luo Feng's face darkened, he smiled coldly, and waved his hand, "Back!"

The three thousand cavalry immediately turned their horses and fled backwards.

Shan Xing was overjoyed when he saw this, he didn't expect that the enemy would not even dare to fight head-on, it seemed that just as the commander had judged, the Hengshan cavalry had a superficial appearance, they simply relied on their numbers to scare people. "Brothers, the enemy has run away. They are not our opponents at all. Go in and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"Kill! Kill!" All the cavalry saw the embarrassment of the enemy, and the anxiety in their hearts turned into ecstasy in an instant. We will win this battle!
At this moment, the cavalry in front were fleeing, and the scattered formation suddenly separated to the two sides.

Unit Xing stared at the row of cavalry in front of the enemy, then his face turned pale, "What, yes, armored cavalry? Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"

He saw the iron armor worn by the row of black armored cavalry at first glance, and he couldn't help being horrified.Even among the 3000 iron cavalry he led, only [-] could be equipped with iron armor, but more importantly, due to the rush of time, they had no time to put on the iron armor.So much so that most of them were wearing a piece of leather armor. How could they be an opponent to the cavalry with iron lumps?
