1979: The battle was too easy
Lincheng, at the fourth update, the East City Gate was quietly opened. In Wengcheng, the Qi soldiers general Li Cheng looked up at the city tower. Zhang Tianai's main gate was there, with his hands on the walls and was staring at them. Seeing Li Cheng's gaze, he raised his hand and waved at Li Cheng.
Li Cheng took a deep breath, turned over the horse, clamped his legs, wrapped his cotton hooves and stepped on the ground. Without any sound, he took the lead onto the suspension bridge and stepped out of Li Cheng. Behind him, a thousand cavalrymen were holding pieces, slinging their mouths, and ran out to the east.
Looking at the figures of the cavalry going away, Zhang Tianai let out a long sigh, turned around, and walked towards the west city. Over there, the stars of firelight represent the power of the Ming army. In addition to the unknown number of Western army, there are also Wang Yun's Fuyuan Camp and Li Xiaoya's cavalry camp.
Lincheng must not be able to defend it anymore. The only thing he can do is to fulfill his duties as a general who defends the territory. The city is there, and the city is dead. He just hopes that the detailed details about the battle in Lincheng that he sent will be helpful to the general's battle in Changning County.
He knew what Li Cheng was going to do next, and he was powerless to stop him, nor did he want to stop him. Everyone has their own responsibilities and their own destiny.
"Let's go!" He murmured in a low voice, turned around and walked into the city tower, lay down with his clothes, and then made a loud noise after a while.
Tomorrow is a hard battle, so you must naturally have to maintain your spirit. If you can stay for a day, it will be a day! The longer you persist, the more realistic it will be for Changning County.
When it was dawn, the thousand cavalrymen led by Li Cheng had advanced about fifty miles to Changning County and were about to leave the territory of Lincheng. He suddenly stopped his horses.
Half an hour later, after eating and drinking, they did not retreat to Changning County, but turned to the south, ran for more than ten miles, then turned to the west, and headed towards Taoyuan County.
Zhang Tianai can live and die with the city, and Li City is not a coward. A thousand mobile cavalry is enough to set off a frenzy in Taoyuan County. At this time, Li Xiaoya's cavalry is probably still in Lincheng to guard against his sudden exit from the city to attack their infantry team. When he came back, he had already entered the core area of Taoyuan County. Even if they chased him, time would be enough to get him to get Taoyuan County out of the way. As for whether he could withdraw it? What if he had enough money, he would not lose.
As an old brand of Long Xiangjun, Li Cheng has his pride.
At noon, he had already stepped into Taoyuan, Changning County and Taoyuan County were adjacent to each other, but the situation on both sides was one in the sky and one in the underground. In the past, it was the same, but in the past, Changning was the sky and Taoyuan was the earth, and now it happened to be reversed.
Licheng Zhuma looked at the villages in the distance. The villages in Taoyuan County were very different from other places in the Ming Dynasty. Each village had a very high wall with very thick walls and could stand people on them. When these villages were built, they were built in this way in order to prevent the whole people. Later, as the days of the Ming Dynasty improved day by day, blue bricks were wrapped outside the earthen wall, and then cement was pasted, and then whitened. Some villages even hired craftsmen to draw various patterns and wrote many words, which were particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, it was the time for dinner, and streams of blue smoke rose from the chimneys of every household in the village. Looking at this scene, Li Cheng felt sad. In Changning County, everything has been taken away by the government. In order to support the army, build arms and prepare for war, it would be nice for the people to have a mouthful of porridge to drink.
How come Qi State fell into this situation?
Looking at the blue smoke in the distance, Li Cheng seemed to smell the fragrance wafting with the wind. Not only was there a burst of evil fire in his heart, but we, the people of Qi, had no choice but to eat it.
With a choking sound, he raised the sword in his waist, pointed the halberd at the village ahead, and shouted sternly, "Kill it, no chicken or dog."
Thousands of cavalry roared and rode their horses toward the villages in the distance. It was winter, and the land was covered with thick snow. Although there was a layer of floating snow on it, the bottom was frozen. The horses galloped like dragons, bringing snow fog.
In the village in the distance, it seemed that the cavalry rushed from afar were found. After seeing the flag of Qi, the warning bell suddenly sounded in the village. The originally wide open village door immediately closed with a slam.
Li Cheng sneered, and a mere gate wanted to block his thousands of elite soldiers. The Ming people living in Taoyuan County were all tough people who moved from all over the country by the Ming court, including Qin people, barbarians, and some retired soldiers, but compared with the Long Xiang army under his command, it was still not enough. Strong people without organization were just brave enough.
Thousands of war horses dispersed, and the momentum was extremely terrifying. Li Cheng, who was running, suddenly felt something was wrong, because the village was too quiet, and there was no movement except for the initial warning bell.
This is not right!
A wave of warning suddenly arose in his heart, but as a cavalry general, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to order a stop now. The full-speed cavalry, not to mention stopping, could even turn suddenly, break the horse's hooves.
The cavalry running at the forefront roared, dancing the chain hammer in his hand so that it could fly up, and then take a few steps forward, and then swing the chain hammer in his hand and smash it hard on the door. No matter how thick the door is, it can't resist these two hammers. Once the door is broken, the cavalry can rush in.
A crisp gunshot sounded above the wall.
Li Cheng's heart suddenly sank. On the empty city wall just now, two rows of figures suddenly stood up. They were not villagers in this village, but Ming soldiers wearing regular Ming army uniforms. They were holding the Ming 1 style in their hands, aiming at the rushing cavalry, and steadily hooking the Ming 1 style plate machine.
Every gunshot, a cavalry fell down.
The charging cavalry fell down continuously in the dense gunfire, but the subsequent ones did not retreat at all. They rushed forward and threw the chain hammer and javelin in their hands. Even if they did this, their bodies would be exposed more in front of the gunmen on the wall. Behind them, the cavalry took off their cavalry bows, pulled the bowstrings, and shot the feather arrows in their hands towards the Ming army on the wall.
The soldiers on the wall all fell down. Basically, all the attacks fell in the air, but the gunshots did not stop.
The cavalry in front won time for the people behind in a nearly death manner. They finally slowed down their horses and then circled to the left and right sides.
"Retreat, retreat! Li Xiaoya's cavalry camp is here!" Li Cheng shouted loudly.
But he understood it a little too late. A sound of thunderous horse hooves sounded behind the village. Two cavalrymen circled out from left and right, circled a large arc on the empty snow, surrounding Licheng. At this time, the gate of the village that was originally closed opened, and a group of cavalry ran out inside.
The last one who rode his horse slowly out from inside was Li Xiaoya, the commander of the cavalry battalion. Looking at the cavalry that was tightly surrounded, he burst into laughter.
"Little girl, just your little thoughts, you still want to hide them from us?"
Li Cheng couldn't figure it out. He ran fifty miles towards Changning County first, then turned to the south, and took a long way to go around, and then stepped into Taoyuan County. It was a randomly selected attack location. How did Li Xiaoya know that he would appear here and ambush here in advance.
Li Xiaoya stood at the gate happily, watching one after another Qi cavalry after another either chopped off the horse or fell off the horse by Ming Style 1, so as to be prepared for attack but not prepared, and to accumulate strength to deal with the semi-tired army. Don’t fight this battle too easily.
Li Cheng slashed left and right angrily, and even fought out a bloody road from the siege and rushed straight to Li Xiaoya at the gate.
Li Xiaoya sneered and stretched out her hand. A guard next to her immediately handed over a Ming style 1. Li Xiaoya put her butt on her shoulder, aiming at Li Cheng who was rushing up from the bloody mud. As Li Cheng in the sight of the sight getting closer, he steadily hooked the board.
With a crisp sound, Li Cheng's upper body suddenly tilted back, but he broke back, but the second gunshot started again. This time he hit Li Cheng's war horse. The war horse screamed in tears, and he was shot in the forehead. He ran forward several steps, fell to the ground with a bang, and threw Li Cheng off his horse.
Li Cheng struggled to get up, but one leg was pressed by a war horse and could not move at all.
Li Xiaoya instigated the war horse, walked slowly to him, and looked down at him from a high place.
"I have the talent to fight face to face with me!" Li Cheng threw the sword in his hand at Li Xiaoya. Li Xiaoya stretched out her hand and steadily caught the sword thrown over, hehe, "Li Cheng, did I attack you behind my back just now?"
Li Cheng looked at the Ming Style 1 in Li Xiaoya's hand with hatred, and wanted to scold her, but she vomited blood from her mouth.
"Don't be dissatisfied. The weapons are so powerful. This is part of our soldiers." Li Xiaoya said coldly. "If this is not the case, then what kind of war horses should we ride, what armor should we wear, and what swords and guns should we take off and fight together naked. Wouldn't it be more heroic? I have it, you don't, that's not. We have it in the Ming Dynasty, and you don't have it, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, what's the use of being a scattered person?"
Li Cheng sighed, looked up at the sky, swallowing the blood in his mouth hard: "I just don't understand why you found my traces and could still ambush in advance?"
"It's simple!" Li Xiaoya laughed and said, "The weather was very good last night. We saw it when you left the city." He looked up and pointed to the sky, "You ran dozens of miles towards Changning County before stopping. I calculated your route. There seemed to be no other way to go except this road, right? You have more than a thousand cavalrymen, can't you go over the mountains and ridges?"
"What's in heaven?" Li Cheng murmured.
"Airship, have you never seen it?" Li Xiaoya laughed. "Oh, I understand. You have been stationed in Lincheng. Our airship has been wandering around Changning County City for several times. Perhaps Xian Bisong doesn't want to affect your morale, so I didn't tell you!"
