Lu Qing was sent to the valley and sat on a big rock to heal his injuries.
Not long after, the situation on the three battlefields was reported to him. In addition to being evenly matched with the opponent on the frontal battlefield, both the northern and western battlefields were at a disadvantage.
Especially on the western battlefield, our cavalry has been surrounded by the enemy, and the situation is very dangerous.
Lu Qing's face turned pale, knowing that his battle plan was completely understood by the opponent, and his soldiers were not as well-trained as the opponent, and his weapons were not as good as the opponent's.
Almost all of the Beimen Army on the opposite side were equipped with long spears, but less than half of our own troops lacked weapons and could only use bamboo spears instead. This led to an unfavorable situation in the battle.
Obviously the opponent is more prepared. It is difficult to win this battle based on one's own strength alone. Lu Qing hurriedly asked: "Isn't Zhang Mingjian here yet?"
A householder shook his head: "There is no news."
At this moment, a sentry horse galloped over and said urgently: "Military advisor, it's not good, Zhang Mingjian's Ximen Army is burning, killing and looting in Jiangdu City!"
Lu Qing punched the stone and said angrily: "That bastard! It turns out that he was ready to abandon Jiangdu City a long time ago and deliberately led us to form an alliance, just to take advantage of our fight so that he could grab a fortune and then escape!" p>
"What should we do?"
Lu Qing took a few breaths and sighed: "It's because I think too highly of myself that I misjudged the leader of the stronghold. Our only hope now is that the leader of the stronghold can use his strength to win on the frontal battlefield. We are in charge of Jiangdu City.
No more!"
Zhao Desheng held a horse statue and specially found the place where the Nanmen Army was carrying the flag. In a short period of time, several flags of the Nanmen Army were cut down by him.
In the chaos of the battlefield, the soldiers relied on flags to judge the situation. When the Nanmen soldiers saw that their own flags were getting fewer and fewer, their fighting spirit was greatly reduced, and they began to flee one after another.
At this moment, a soldier rushed to Zhao Desheng and said loudly: "Qianhu, it's not good, Ximen's army is looting Jiangdu City. Except for one of our fifty brothers guarding the north gate who came to report the news, the rest were all captured by Ximen."
The army was killed!"
Zhao Desheng was furious, knowing that he must tell Zhang Yangquan the news immediately, and roared: "Brothers, follow me!"
Leading a group of soldiers, he charged wildly and cut the Nanmen Army in half.
He didn't bother to kill the remaining defeated troops. He looked up and soon found Zhang Zihong's flag and galloped away in the direction of the flag.
When Zhao Desheng approached Zhang Yangquan, he was holding the battle in the rear. Not far ahead, Qin Lingjun, Wang Da and Shanzhu led a main force of 3,000 people to fight fiercely with the 9,000 Nanmen Army.
Although the two sides were in a stalemate, the Nanmen soldiers were outnumbered and put great pressure on the soldiers and generals. A small group of Nanmen troops broke through the defense line and entered the position.
Their target is naturally Zhang Yangquan under Zhang Ziqi, and several small groups of dozens of people are closing in on Zhang Yangquan.
Zhang Yangquan's one hundred soldiers fought hard to stop them from approaching.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, Zhao Desheng was not in a hurry to report to Zhang Yangquan, and led his men to eliminate these small groups. Then he came to Zhang Yangquan and explained the situation in Jiangdu.
Zhang Yangquan took a deep breath. Although he guessed that Zhang Mingjian would not make good plans, he never expected that he would take the opportunity to rob Jiangdu!
This guy is cruel by nature, and he will definitely kill people after robbing things. If he is allowed to let his seven thousand thieves loot and kill without restraint, Jiangdu will definitely be in ruins!
Zhao Desheng said loudly: "Military advisor, I have defeated the Nanmen Army in the rear. I am willing to lead the troops to Jiangdu to rescue and kill Zhang Mingjian, the thief!"
Zhang Yangquan shook his head. Zhao Desheng only had 3,000 people in total. After the fight, he estimated that there were only more than 2,000 left. He would not be Zhang Mingjian's opponent in Jiangdu.
Zhang Yangquan pondered for a long time, then suddenly a flash occurred in his mind, and he said: "Immediately send someone to find Li Er, ask him to cancel his previous battle plan, rush to Jiangdu immediately, and defeat Zhang Mingjian!"
A soldier agreed and went to take the order. Zhang Yangquan was worried and sent two more people to deliver the order.
At this time, the defense line of Qin Lingjun and others in front was broken again, and a team of more than a hundred people came to kill them. Zhao Desheng led his troops to greet them.
After a while, Zhao Desheng's main force in the rear completely defeated the Nanmen Army. More than two thousand people rushed to help, and finally withstood the pressure of the frontal battlefield.
On the western battlefield, Qin Lingsi's middle army, left wing and right wing formed conical formations, continuously dividing the South Gate Army's cavalry.
Although the Nanmen Army still has nearly 2,000 people, they are in disarray and cannot be condensed into a fighting force. It will be a matter of time before they are wiped out.
Li Er and Monkey's 5,000 troops arrived at this moment.
The Nanmen Army saw all the troops coming with blue flags. The largest banner of the Chinese army had the word "Zhang" written on it. They knew that the reinforcements were coming from the enemy. They no longer had the fighting spirit, so they threw away their flags and weapons one after another.
Dismount and surrender.
Qin Lingsi asked people to collect the soldiers, while riding her horse over to join Li Er, praising: "You came at the right time!"
The monkey laughed and said: "If we don't come, the second village master can kill them and make them lose their armor!"
Qin Lingsi wiped the blood on her face and said with a smile: "It's much better to surrender them than to kill them. We suddenly gained more than two thousand horses!"
Li Er hurriedly said: "Second Village Master, let's hurry up to support the frontal battlefield!"
Qin Lingsi nodded and was about to give the order when a messenger rushed from the north and informed Zhang Yangquan of the situation in Jiangdu.
Qin Lingsi was taken aback and said with hatred: "Zhang Mingjian, that bastard, I want to kill him with my own hands! Li Er, you lead two thousand people to support the main battlefield. Monkey, you lead three thousand people and follow me to Jiangdu for rescue!" Li Erdao: "Second Village Master, it would be better to let me go!"
Qin Lingsi said angrily: "You mean I'm not as good as you?"
Li Er said seriously: "Second Village Master, please listen to me. If I go to rescue, Zhang Mingjian will definitely think that I have come with the Zhenzhou Army. He may be a little afraid and withdraw directly!" Qin Lingsi was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and said: "Okay, you take my cavalry over there. Monkey, you take three thousand infantry to support us."
Those who can ride horses are the most elite soldiers of the Beimen Army. Many of them are veterans of the former cottage and are extremely powerful.
Li Er did not refuse and rushed towards the north gate with his cavalry. Monkey followed with three thousand infantry, leaving only two thousand infantry for Qin Lingsi's use.
Li Er was halfway through the journey when he suddenly remembered that the city gate had been taken away. They had no siege equipment and it was difficult to attack.
So he ordered a team of people to return to the mountain stronghold, bring fifty kilograms of gunpowder, and also asked them to bring a few more pieces of red cloth.
Qin Lingsi sent people to the main battlefield to check the situation and saw that the two sides were in a stalemate and there was no situation behind the enemy. It was expected that Xu Baisheng had not arrived yet.
She was not in a hurry to join forces and ordered people to gather the surrendered soldiers together and keep them all in a pit. She also sent people to search for the horses that got separated in the chaos.
It's the ugly time now, when the sun is halfway down, and the sunset glow is like blood, reflecting the vastness of the earth.
Xu Baisheng's troops marched faster than Li Er. One of him and Li Si was taciturn and the other stuttered. They basically did not communicate and marched silently all the way.
Just as the army circled a hillside three miles behind the Nanmen Army Valley, they suddenly saw a cloud of dust rising from the south.
Xu Baisheng stared at it, knowing that it would take at least a hundred cavalry running to raise such a large cloud of dust.
He immediately became suspicious, ordered the army to stop, and came to a hillside to check the situation.
Looking as far as the eye could see, I saw a carriage running on a north-south road, heading in the direction of the army.
There were more than a dozen riders following the carriage, and about twenty feet behind the carriage, a group of one hundred cavalry was chasing.
Xu Baisheng's pupils shrank. Even though the hundred-man cavalry did not display a flag, he could still recognize at a glance that the opponent was neither the Ximen Army nor the Nanmen Army, but the Yuan soldiers!
