A few days after Zhang Yuting surrendered, Quan Changbin of Pingxiang finally laid down his weapons and surrendered to Xue Linfeng. At this point, all three southern states had fallen under the banner of the Northern Expeditionary Army, leaving Wei Xin's 20,000 Taizhou town troops to garrison, and the rest The Northern Expeditionary Army immediately reassembled and marched northward, with smoke billowing all the way. The three fighting groups of Su Dingfang, Quan Yifeng, and Xue Xinfeng followed Pu Demeng's Yizhou Battalion all the way.
Weizhou, Linfeng County, is still more than a hundred miles away from the capital city. The 10,000 infantry and cavalry led by Tiger Guard pioneer Huang Hong encountered the Tuili cavalry who came to intercept. Among Huang Hong's 10,000 infantry and cavalry On June 4th, there were six thousand infantry and four thousand cavalry. This was what Su Can deliberately arranged before setting off, considering that the Meng cavalry would most likely get between them and Shangjing. In a battle, unless the opponent has a particularly large military advantage, it will not pose a fatal threat to Huang Hong.
"No matter what difficulties you encounter, keep moving forward and advance to Shangjing City!" This was Su Can's order to Huang Hong.
The drums of the Chinese army were rumbling, flags were flying up and down, and the infantry formed a thick formation. Under the cover of the cavalry on the left and right, they slowly advanced forward. Although it was slow, they were still advancing.
Tuoli stared at the rigorous lineup of the Tiger Guards on the opposite side, his saber unsheathed in his hand, "Attack!" he shouted sternly.
Tens of thousands of cavalry roared out, their gleaming sabers gleaming dazzlingly under the sunlight, and strange screams filled the sky.
The Tiger Guards cavalry rode up. Their speed was not fast, and they did not leave the infantry formation. The horses trotted all the way, with the flat ends of their stabbing spears in their hands, staring closely at the charging Meng cavalry.
A loud bang sounded immediately, and Meng Qi bumped into these Tiger Guard cavalry, and a fierce charge broke out immediately. In the first contact, it was no surprise that Meng Qi had the upper hand, but the Tiger Guard cavalry refused to stay away at the expense of speed. The infantry formation naturally has its reasons. After being far away from the infantry formation, the Tiger Guard Cavalry is definitely no match for Meng Qi. Huang Hong knows this in his heart. In this case, it is better for them to sacrifice their speed and stay with the infantry. Around the lineup.
Meng Qi's rapid speed caught up with the opponent's obstruction and immediately slowed down. Although he chopped down the Tiger Guard cavalry like a clay figure, the crossbows in the hands of the infantry behind him were raining down arrows at this time, knocking Meng Qi down. The shots were like catkins in the wind, all messy.
Groups of spearmen rushed up under the orders of the officers. They dodged through the gaps between the Tiger Guards' horses, and aimed their spears at Meng Qi. They stabbed and stabbed Meng Qi, who had lost speed. Pick a horse.
The infantry queue rolled up, passed their own cavalry, and rushed towards the Meng cavalry.
Fighting with infantry and cavalry, the Tiger Guard finally used the most classic tactics used when the Dai Viet Army defeated the Mongols. The cavalry slowed down the opponent's charge speed, making it impossible for them to break the formation. The infantry, fearless of death, rushed into the cavalry team that had lost speed. In the middle, he tried his best to kill.
It¡¯s a pity that there is no Mo Dao team, otherwise rows of swordsmen would be lined up and advancing forward, and the effect would be better.
The Mongolian cavalry sounded the horn to retreat, and the fighting Mongolian cavalry quickly left the battlefield and ran towards the two wings.
"Run and shoot, harass!" Tuoli immediately changed his tactics. The opponent was so careful that he had no chance to break the formation and annihilate the enemy. And with the Tiger Guard on the opposite side, it was impossible for the opponent to panic and run away in confusion. Good. The orders I got were just to harass and delay the opponent's actions.
When Mengqi rushed up again, they had changed their tactics. They no longer tried to attack the opponent's large army, but instead circled the opponent's military formation, running at high speed, and while running, they kept shooting at the opponent with bows and arrows. Whenever there was The Tiger Guard cavalry rushed forward, while Meng Qi carefully retreated. Once the opponent had chased a certain distance, he immediately turned around and pounced on him, killing him.
Ben shot, this is the good show of Mongolian riding.
Since then, Huang Hong has been very uncomfortable. His opponent is peeling an onion, peeling his military formation thinner and thinner layer by layer. If his cavalry is released to fight alone, it will definitely not be the opponent of Meng Qi. But like now, the cavalry has become a deaf ear and a mere decoration.
One day has passed, two days have passed, and Huang Hong still has not left Linfeng County. At this time, the Tiger Guard's large forces have arrived in Linfeng. Military orders one after another are issued from the Chinese army camp, asking Huang Hong to quickly open the door. aisle.
Huang Hong finally made up his mind. Naturally, the cavalry could not play a greater role, so let them sacrifice the whole army. He blatantly ordered all the cavalry to attack the Mongolian army's right wing, while he led the infantry to run towards the left wing. , as long as the cavalry can withstand the opponent for a period of time, he can attack from the left flank. If they can't withstand it, he can break through the opponent from the wing and go straight to the capital.
Huang Hong's move tempted Tuoli to take the bait, and more and more Meng cavalry were attracted to the battlefield on the right wing. It would still take time to wipe out all four thousand Tiger Guard cavalry. In this way, The left wing was suddenly empty. Huang Hong took the opportunity to gather all his troops and suddenly moved forward, leaving Tuoli behind.
With four thousand cavalry as theBait, for the sake of sacrifice, Huang Hong got rid of Tuoli's entanglement and finally increased his speed. Su Can's large army behind him had also followed. At this time, Tuoli should not have the courage to harass him behind him. , if he dares, he will be attacked or surrounded by Su Can at any time.
It took Tuoli a full day to completely annihilate this group of Tiger Guard cavalry. By the time he finished cleaning the battlefield, Huang Hong had already disappeared without a trace. Tuoli was not surprised as he had already dragged Huang Hong away. Several days were enough time, and he completed the order sent by Zhengbei Mansion to the letter, delaying time and choosing the opportunity to annihilate the opponent's strength. He has done both of these two things, and now he can be happy Xingdi moved towards Weizhou to join the large army.
Huang Hong can't run away. In the past few days, Luchengying should have arrived.
Luchengying had indeed arrived. The vanguard of Luchengying led by Ding Chou and the vanguard of Huanghong's Huwei who had escaped from the enemy met unexpectedly in the maple forest in Weizhou. The two troops who met on a narrow road immediately started a battle. It was a fierce battle. Both troops were rushing hard, they were equally exhausted, and their physical strength was almost at the limit. This battle was completely based on the will, quality and endurance of the soldiers on both sides.
After a day of fierce fighting, Ding Chou finally gained the upper hand. Huang Hong's troops were not only on their way, they also fought several battles with Tuoli in the past few days. Compared with Ding Chou's Lucheng camp, they were still inferior in terms of physical strength.
Huang Hong had to retreat and break away from contact with Ding Chou. Ding Chou did not pursue him, but just set up camp to block the opponent's front. As Meng Yao's large troops arrived one after another, Huang Hong Hong knew that the Tiger Guard was a little behind after all. Fenglin was less than fifty miles away from Shangjing, but these fifty miles might never be reached. This is the so-called world so close!" (To be continued.
