"Bi Yonghao, Bi Yonghao, why didn't you listen to Song's suggestion? Isn't it good to let go of the east and west sides and only garrison the army in the north?" Looking at the casualties in front of him, Song Qiao was a little unhappy, even though he was not the one who died.
Although they had lost so many soldiers and horses, the pressure on themselves would be great. Geng Zhongming's breakout was definitely not a simple escape for his life. Just to survive, they only needed to hold on to Tangzhou City. I'm afraid.
Geng Zhongming reacted and had already led his troops to Liyangpo, right?
At the end of the war, Bi Yonghao led his generals to rush over from the east camp. Looking at the body of his subordinate, he couldn't help but feel a burst of pain. Geng Zhongming was really in trouble, and Bi Yonghao had already made up his mind in his heart. No matter what,
Taking advantage of this opportunity to kill Wu Jinqing, who was a god in military skills and especially good at cavalry. After killing Geng Zhongming and then killing Zhou Dingshan, it can be said that the two major cavalry pillars of the Northern Shan Army were completely broken. "Send orders to all the troops to abandon Tangzhou.
Rush to Liyangpo as quickly as possible, Bi will take Geng Zhongming's life this time, set off immediately at three o'clock."
Bi Yonghao gave up rest and recuperation. The wise saying is that soldiers are valuable and quick. Geng Zhongming must rush to Liyangpo's reinforcements. Bi Yonghao cannot be slow. Even such an order will cause dissatisfaction among his soldiers.
There were many complaints in the camp of the Peasant Army Alliance, but the military orders were overwhelming. At this time, the Northern Shanxi Army was advancing at full speed. Geng Zhongming knew very well that he could not rest at this time. The rebels would soon catch up. He only had one chance.
He just wanted to appear behind the rebels before Liyangpo was surrounded. When the rebels surrounded Liyangpo, it would be too difficult to fight their way out. The wind was blowing in Liyangpo at night, and Zhou Dingshan was sitting cross-legged in the tent.
, put his hands in front of his knees, like an old monk in meditation. Zhou Dingshan has maintained this habit for many years. He is always ready for any march or war.
Liyangpo has a radius of ten miles and is not large. Zhou Dingshan divided his cavalry into two parts, the north and the south. In the south, the horses and iron nets were used to build defenses. The soldiers were in front, and in the north were grain, grass and baggage. In the middle, eight temporary war horses were stored.
land.
As time passed, Qin Xinkai, who was stationed in the south, finally took action. More than 5,000 people were divided into small teams and quietly approached the Liyangpo military camp under the cover of night. After approaching, they did not rush to take action and kept waiting.
It wasn't until a scarlet light flashed from the northeast at the beginning of Zishi that they suddenly rushed out. These people were elite soldiers carefully selected by Qin Xinkai. These rebels were not afraid of death. They carried planks and moved as fast as possible.
They quickly passed through the barbed wire fence, and then used the prepared kerosene to set fire to the rebel horses. Everything happened too suddenly, and the cavalry officers did not believe that the rebels would attack the camp at night, causing chaos in the south, but the soldiers quickly
After reacting, a Qian general pulled out his sword and called to his companions, "Don't panic, immediately abandon the horse defense line, retreat, and gather in the horse circle, one hundred people in a team, don't panic."
After all, the normal training played a role. After hearing the command of the generals, the panicked crowd acted according to the order. They lined up and ran towards the central army horse circle, carrying cavalry swords with them. As long as they climbed on the horses, those who came to attack the army would
The rebels in the battalion were prey to the brothers. Most of them retreated to the central army in search of their own horses, leaving only a thousand people to resist in the entire south.
The sound of killing in Liyangpo was so loud that it woke up Zhou Dingshan, who was half asleep. He dragged his spear to the outside of the tent, held his own soldier with one hand and asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation?"
"General Zhou, the rebels have broken through the southern defenses and are heading towards the Chinese army camp. More than two thousand brothers have already set up their formations. There will definitely be no problem." The soldiers looked very calm. They had encountered them before.
There was a night attack, but it was just a panic attack at first. When the cavalry soldiers formed their formations and pulled up the iron ropes, the people who attacked at night always died as many as they came.
The cavalry officers did not take this night attack seriously, but Zhou Dingshan did not think so. He instinctively felt that the timing was wrong. If the opponent wanted to attack at night, it should be between Chou hour and Mao hour. At that time
It is when people are at their weakest, so why rush to the south in advance?
"There is only movement in the south? What on earth are the rebels doing?" Zhou Dingshan was worried. He immediately mounted his famous horse and ran towards the Chinese army's horse circle. At this time, there were many soldiers outside the horse circle ready to go.
Draw out your cavalry sword and get ready to fight, you can teach the rebels a lesson
Seeing that Chen Yaofeng was leading a thousand people to organize a counterattack, he quickly rode forward and shouted, "Yao Feng, don't act rashly!"
"What's going on? The rebels have already reached the door of our house. If we don't fight back, how long will it take?" Today, Chen Yaofeng was beaten with a stick on the door in the middle of the night, and he was suffocating his anger.
"Nonsense, don't you notice something is wrong? The rebels are attacking so fiercely in the south, but there are no other troops to cooperate. It's as if they are deliberately sending these people to death. They are all tolerated by me. Without the general's order, they are not allowed to fight privately.
.”
Chen Yaofeng himself was not a fool. After being yelled at by Zhou Dingshan, he regained some sense. He suppressed the evil fire in his heart and thought about it carefully. It seemed that something was very wrong. Usually, after a successful night attack, there would be a large group of people cooperating elsewhere.
A forceful attack, but so far, the rebels have broken through Nanda Camp, but no fires have been seen elsewhere.
You know, the cavalry of the Northern Shanxi Army is not a vegetarian. It only takes a quarter of an hour to respond. It doesn't take too much. It only takes two thousand cavalry soldiers to kill those night raiders here. Why rebel?
The army has been slow to move. Could it be that they deliberately sent these people to die?
Zhou Dingshan personally took charge of the Chinese army, and military reports from the front kept coming. Because Zhou Dingshan delayed in ordering the outflanking and night attack on the rebels, the rebels just rampaged all the way. Now the entire front has retreated two miles. Seeing that the rebels are about to hit
When the Chinese army's baggage arrived, everyone was anxious. Only Zhou Dingshan looked calm and unmoved.
Finally, a cannon sounded, and the entire northeastern area shook violently. A burst of earth-shattering killing sounds suddenly erupted there, and the heavy steps made people's hearts tremble. "Report...report...General Zhou, a large number of thieves are raiding
To the east of Beida camp, judging from the flags, it should be the headquarters of the rebel Ye Dahu, with no less than five thousand cavalry among them. Now the brothers in the north have been entangled by the enemy."
Phew, Zhou Dingshan's hanging heart finally relaxed. It's like this sometimes. Even if the rebels attack and it's not good for the army, knowing it is always much easier than not knowing it. Ye Dahu's troops suddenly came out, and there were cavalry.
Now, it can be said that the soldiers of the Beida camp have been completely entangled, and it is impossible to cooperate with the Chinese army safely. In a short period of time, countless thoughts have flashed through Zhou Dingshan's mind, whether to go south or to the south.
North, but in the end Zhou Dingshan had no choice. Going north, Ye Dahu's troops could not be eliminated in a short time. No matter why Ye Dahu suddenly came to kill, it must have been premeditated. Since the other party dared to come, he must have something to rely on. Going south
, hum, Qin Xinkai is probably waiting for the cavalry soldiers to collect some dead soldiers from the night attack.
"Yao Feng, take my command flag immediately, gather all brothers who can move, sound the horn, and charge westward with me." Zhou Dingshan's decision was really shocking. Chen Yaofeng didn't understand the intention at once, but he still nodded.
He took the command flag and went to gather his troops.
At this time, it had been half an hour since the rebels attacked the South Camp at night. Many hundred-man troops had already assembled in the Chinese army's position. Upon hearing Chen Yaofeng's call, they consciously gathered together and slowly formed a long dragon. In the end, there were 6,000 cavalrymen.
Dragging away the horses, he abandoned the Liyangpo camp and headed west. Ye Tianming was attacking vigorously when he suddenly heard that Zhou Dingshan had led the main force to abandon the camp and left. He was shocked and stunned. Zhou Dingshan was brave and fearless, how could he escape?
Of course Zhou Dingshan would not run away, let alone give up his brothers and run for his life? But he had to do it. Now the whole Liyangpo had become a mess. Whether he went to find Ye Tianming or saved Nan Daying, it was within the opponent's expectation.
The most feared thing in marching operations is to lose the initiative and be led by others, so Zhou Dingshan decided to go west. When everyone thought that Zhou Dingshan was going to escape Liyangpo, he led his elite troops to turn south and penetrate Qin Xinkai's left flank.
Camp.
Now all Qin Xinkai's attention was focused on the Liyangpo Cavalry Camp. Seeing the fire in Liyangpo soaring into the sky, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "Haha, Zhou Dingshan, let you gallop north and south, be invincible, wait until the armies from all directions
If you encircle Liyangpo, you will only die."
Boom, suddenly there was a loud noise from the left wing camp. Qin Xinkai trembled with surprise, and said angrily, "What's going on over there? Didn't you tell the left wing army to stand still? Why did you start making trouble?"
All the generals also looked at a loss. You looked at me and I looked at you. I didn’t know what happened. After a while, a soldier came from the left wing camp.
, but this soldier was covered in blood and was dying. "General Qin...cavalry from northern Shanxi...Zhou Dingshan...Zhou Dingshan came to kill..."
Zhou Dingshan? Qin Xinkai is stunned. What is going on? Why did Zhou Dingshan come here if he is not in Liyangpo Camp? This is where Zhou Dingshan uses his troops deceitfully. He has already guessed that Qin Xinkai and others have set their sights on it.
Liyangpo definitely wanted to gather a large number of troops to swallow Liyangpo in one go. If Yang stayed in Liyangpo, he would definitely not cause any trouble. It would be better to attack Qin Xinkai proactively and make the situation more chaotic.
The more chaotic the situation is now, the more beneficial it is to one's own side, because under the night, chaos is like a cavalry, and countless miracles in ancient and modern times where a small number defeated a large number were achieved by taking advantage of the chaos.
As the left wing camp fell into chaos, Zhou Dingshan immediately ordered a retreat, directly leaving Qin Xinkai's troops who came to rescue him empty-handed. Qin Xinkai finally returned to the Chinese army camp, but Zhou Dingshan's elite cavalry appeared again in Qin Xinkai's Chinese army camp.
At the rear, horses were cut vertically and horizontally with iron chains, and scattered cavalry were roaming outside. The Northern Shanxi Army had fought this kind of battle countless times. The unsuspecting Qin Xinkai's troops were cut into pieces, and many rebels were unable to find them in panic.
It's time for your own general.
"Yao Feng, have you seen the man in the red tassel chainmail? This is Qin Xinkai. I will give you a thousand-man team, but you pull out this nail for me!" Zhou Dingshan pointed his spear, and Chen Yaofeng raised his hand to lead.
The trusted soldiers and horses rushed directly into the central army. Seeing a thousand-man army coming in a mighty manner, no one could stop it, especially the young general in silver armor, who was like a god of death. Qin Xinkai suddenly panicked.
No one in this world is not afraid of death, let alone a person like Qin Xinkai who cherishes his life. Seeing that Chen Yaofeng has come to kill him, a brave general under Qin Xinkai's command comes out. His ancestral home is Fengyang Mansion, and he is called Zhu Yinglong, Zhu Yinglong
Dancing with two sledgehammers, he faced Chen Yaofeng, but Chen Yaofeng shouted and pierced his chest with a gun. Zhu Yinglong was also a well-known figure in the rebels. Unexpectedly, he was not Chen Yaofeng's enemy. Just when Qin Xinkai and others were panicking
At that moment, Chen Yaofeng pulled out his saber and cut off Zhu Yinglong's head. He jumped up with his gun and shouted at Qin Xinkai, "Dog thief Qin Kaikai, Grandpa Chen will take your head today and kill him!"
"Kill..." Nearly a thousand soldiers echoed, the sound was like thunder, deafening. Qin Xinkai was already panicked, and was so frightened that he fell off his horse, "Quickly, retreat, retreat, and Ye Tianming's troops
When we join forces together, the thieves are fierce, so don’t fight forcefully!"
Qin Xinkai finally panicked. He found many high-sounding reasons for his incompetence. The rebels followed Qin Xinkai and fled north, which was exactly what Zhou Dingshan wanted.
Zhou Dingshan is never reckless in his military use. This is why although he is young, he leads an army alone and his status is slightly higher than that of Liu Guoneng. After Ye Tianming's troops suddenly appeared in Liyangpo, he had already thought clearly in his mind that Ye Tianming originally
They should resist Li Jiucheng's troops in the south of Chenzhou. Now that they have come here, the rebels must be fully prepared. Since they want to surround Liyangpo, they cannot have only Ye Tianming's cavalry. Now Liyangpo
At least 50,000 rebels have gathered nearby. If there are other rebels, the number will only be even greater. It is really a fool's errand to hope to defeat this rebel army in an honest way.
Therefore, Zhou Dingshan could only make the entire battlefield as chaotic as possible. In short, as long as the rebels fought in a confused manner, that would be fine.
As Qin Xinkai led his soldiers to flee north, the entire Chinese army camp was completely in chaos. After defeating the rebels in the middle, Chen Yaofeng also stopped pursuing and cooperated with Zhou Dingshan to start attacking the rebels on both wings. Because Qin Xinkai was busy escaping, there was no way
There were no orders left, so the rebels in the two wing camps didn't know what to do. Some resisted, and some wanted to flee to the north to join the army in the middle. People's hearts were divided, and their combat effectiveness was naturally greatly reduced. Zhou Dingshan led his cavalry
They wreaked havoc and created as much chaos as possible. At the end of the day, the temporary camp that Qin Xinkai finally built was turned upside down.
Although he won, Zhou Dingshan did not feel relaxed at all. He leaned under a big willow tree and enjoyed a rare moment of leisure. He broke through the rebel camp, but the real casualties of the rebels were not many. Most of them escaped with Qin Xinkai.
Heading north. Zhou Dingshan was heartbroken, and Chen Yaofeng was not very calm. "General Zhou, if we fight like this, the rebels will probably go to the south of Liyangpo. How can the brothers there resist?"
