Chapter 515: Guns in the house

On the Huangbei River in the northwest direction of the enemy, there is a stone bridge called "Wenchang Bridge". The shouting of killing on the bridge shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Qu Neng Department of the North Route Army of the Han King rushed to the bridge deck and stormed the opposite bank.

This is the first attack launched by the Qu Neng Ministry! The narrow bridge deck, the army could not be deployed, so it could only attack again and again, trying to consume and disintegrate the defenders; In order to seize the bridgehead on the east coast in one of the attacks!

However, the situation did not seem to be Qu Neng's expectations. The enemy defenders on the east bank were visibly reinforced, and the offensive became more and more difficult.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a loud cannon shot rang out from the east. When Qu Neng turned his head to look, the east bank was filled with gunsmoke to see the situation clearly, but the bridge deck simply turned into a Shura field, and many soldiers of the Han Dynasty fell to the ground screaming, and some people "pounced" and fell into the river.

The shouts of crying dad and mom on the Huangbei River came out, and it was unbearable to hear.

Hongwu cannon, the scattered son launched after approaching the bridgehead!

The attack of the Han army was repulsed again, and the rest of the people soon began to retreat to the western bridgehead. At this moment, a military general at the head of the bridge drew his waist sword and faced the infantry waiting in a queue and said, "Brothers, kill!" ”

Qu Neng hurriedly shouted: "Stop attacking!" ”

He looked back left and right and said solemnly: "Since the enemy has transferred artillery, I am afraid that there is more than one mouthful. Don't send the brethren to death. ”

The generals clasped their fists and said, "Order!" ”

Qu Neng looked to the south and asked, "How are the people and horses in the south going?" ”

A military general said: "Back to the big marshal, Wang Qianhu in the south reported that the defenders had received reinforcements several times!" Our wading men and horses were stuck in the mud in the middle of the river, and it was difficult to walk, and we were attacked by firearms and arrows, and the progress was not smooth for a while! ”

An adjutant general beside Qu Neng said: "We marched in a hurry, and after approaching the Huangbei River, we didn't even find a big boat in the river!" Only a few canoes were found. Perhaps only on the southern side of the water are there larger boats. ”

Everyone was discussing, and one general suggested: "Can you send someone to ask Sheng Yong to transfer the ship over?" Someone else said, "Let's avoid the defenders, make a detour from the north to the other side of the river, and flank the enemy at the bridgehead!" ”

Qu Neng turned his head and only glanced at the north. On the east bank of the Huangbei River, there is no end in sight of the mountains and forests in the north.

Such a yellow-backed river, it will definitely not be able to stop the 70,000 army. However, when to occupy the East Coast, time is a matter of warplanes, and this is the key!

The campaign has begun, and time is no longer measured in days, but in moments!

Qu Neng was silent for a while, and said, "Immediately send someone to the south and try to cross the Zishui to find Sheng Yong's army." Please try to send cavalry to attack the bank of the Huangbei River from the south, and plan for our attack! ”

"Order!"

…… On the southern battlefield, Ping'an on the north bank of Zishui led seven or eight thousand cavalry, and was the first to approach the place where the enemy was active.

The cavalry of Sheng Yong's army exceeded 15,000 cavalry, but Ping'an only brought seven or eight thousand men to the front. The width of this place is only ten miles from east to west, and the terrain is still undulating, with mountains, forests and ponds. Ping An thought that too many cavalry would not be able to play a role, and that a large number of men and horses might be crowded together and turn into a mounted battle.

Wang Bin, who was next to Ping An, was complaining at this time: "He, mother, we are fighting in this broken place, as if we were fighting in the house, but we pulled out the cannon!" ”

"That's faster than the infantry, too." Ping An glanced at Wang Bin with a smile.

The battle was just around the corner, and Heian's expression seemed to be relaxed, as light as his movements. Ping'an held a round shield forged with iron in his left hand and a large axe in his right hand, and he shook the axe twice in his hand, and it looked as light as a straw tie.

Ping An observed the situation in the distance for a while, and then said: "Tell the people behind to beat the drum and set off the cannons, and all the departments will attack." ”

"Order!"

Ping'an turned to Wang Bin again and said, "Wang, take the general!" You go first. He deliberately put the two words "put the whole word" very loudly and loudly.

Sure enough, Wang Bin's rough round face showed an embarrassed expression.

"I'm kidding." Ping'an stretched out his hand and patted Wang Bin's arm, but he continued, "Anyway, Wang Jiang always likes to block fire, if you don't rush to the front, who will rush to the front?" ”

This sentence is simply ridiculing the reason for Wang Bin's ascension, because he blocked the fire for the King of Han! Wang Bin glared at Ping'an angrily, but his mouth was not as good as Ping'an's at all, and he was lowly and low, so he didn't say anything very interestingly.

Ping'an pointed to the north and said, "Mr. Wang, what are you waiting for?" Ben will take you to meritorious service, you have to remember my arrangement, go on! ”

Wang Bin shook his fists up and down very dissatisfied, and patted his horse to leave the Chinese army. After a while, Wang Bin's shouting came from the left wing. The sound of cannons and drums in the southwest also "boomed".

Directly in front of Wang Bin's department, there is a large undulating open field, but the open area is surrounded by small hillsides and woods.

Directly north of him, in the distance there were two hills, a pond; The path next to the pond winds into the distance and doesn't seem to be easy to walk. There was a detachment of officers and cavalry nearby, waiting there.

"Rumbling ......" The sound of horses' hooves roared, and hundreds of Wang Bin's horses rushed to the open ground in the middle, rushing to the north one after another!

After a while, in the hills and forests to the east, a large number of officers and cavalry came out one after another.

The group of officers and horses who walked out of the forest pinched the opportunity very accurately...... At this time, they only need to jog for a while, and then rush towards Wang Bin's department; When the two armies met the enemy, it was almost the time when Wang Bin's troops rushed to the enemy formation opposite.

At the end of the open field to the north, except for the hills and ponds, the cavalry could not continue to charge north; When Wang Binbu got there, he could only slow down and turn around! If at this time, the enemy cavalry on the east road happened to rush in, it would be a disastrous blow to Wang Bin's troops!

Ping An raised his axe and shouted, "Brothers, it's time for us to get on!" ”

In the open space between the hills, dust and smoke were rising, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening everywhere.

For horse warfare, the place is a bit cramped. The horsemen rushed up, and in a moment they could run a long way; At this time, no one has time to adjust their tactics, and the horse war will be on the verge of breaking out in an instant!

The area was a large open field, which was soon occupied by various horse teams, and the dust rolled up in the air was like a whirlpool of dirt......

However, Wang Bin's troops did not directly rush to the enemy army on the north road in front, and on the way, Wang Bin's several cavalry columns suddenly turned around and ran towards the hills and woods to the west!

The enemy cavalry on the right rushed out of the woods one after another, and the number of men and horses was far outnumbered by the Heian Division. Those enemy soldiers divided into two routes, all the way to Wang Bin's department, all the way to the remaining two or three hundred cavalry on Ping'an's side.

"Kill!" Ping An shouted.

"Crackling......" arrows flew straight from the dust. Leaning over and drawing their bows, enemy horses loomed in the dust, figures moving rapidly. There were several neighing and screaming of horses around, and several Heian cavalry riders were shot off their horses.

But almost a moment later, the two armies rushed together. As soon as he saw an enemy soldier with a bow and arrow in his hand, he rushed closer in the blink of an eye, and swept it with an axe. There was a "click" sound of the bow breaking, and then the enemy soldier screamed, and a large blood was cut on his waist, and blood splattered into the dust.

The horse team under the command of Ping An hedged against the enemy soldiers and horses in front of him! The two armies did not know the number of casualties, but the positions were exchanged. After the enemy army rushed to the south, they turned around one after another, preparing for the second round.

However, the Heian Department did not turn around, and they did not even reduce the speed of their horses, and went straight to the large group of enemy cavalry in the middle (the enemy cavalry in the middle was chasing Wang Bin's division to the west......

At this time, Wang Bin's men and horses had already rushed to the western end, and the front was blocked by hills and woods. Wang Bin's unit has been roughly adjusted from a column to a horizontal formation, and it climbs directly into the hills and forests.

The enemy in the middle rushed to the west, facing the hills and woods, and the cavalry of the Han army above; The enemy had to start slowing down, or a large group of cavalry would have to crash into each other on their own!

In an instant, Ping An roared, and two or three hundred horsemen rushed forward, rushing straight towards the enemy in the middle that had just stopped. In the dust, people neighed everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Ping An rushed into the enemy group, and saw a man sitting on horseback with a cherry spear waiting for the enemy soldiers, he took an iron shield to gently block the cherry spear, and he was greeted with an axe. There was a loud "clang", and the axe slashed directly into the enemy's helmet, and the man didn't even make a call, and his body went limp.

After a while, Ping An heard a "plop" sound behind him.

Then another rider turned his horse, and he rushed behind him safely; The enemy soldiers twisted desperately, trying to meet the peace behind them. Ping'an's fingers pinched the iron shield and struck it like a disc. There was a "bang", and the man screamed loudly, and was violently pushed forward.

The men and horses in front of the Heian Department rushed to the depths of the enemy formation in the center, slowing down while fighting; The cavalry that arrived behind also rushed in one after another. Wang Bin, who was on the opposite hill, was turning around and attacking downward.

The two armies were in a scuffle, and the sound of killing was loud between the mountains and forests.

The enemy cavalry in the south also killed the war group one after another. But by this time the enemy army in the center had been routed, and the remaining horsemen fled in all directions in disarray.

The whole battle was only about a stick of incense, and soon the winner was decided, and the enemy army was scattered!

Ping'an was carrying an axe, and when he saw Wang Bin coming over, he took the lead in speaking: "I see that Wang Bin is always quite good at fighting." It's a shame that you've been relegated straight to the top level. ”

Wang Bin clasped his fists and saluted on his horse, but he only "hummed", obviously not dissipated.

Ping An looked back left and right and said: "Everyone reorganizes the soldiers and horses a little, and the general will not waste time here." The horsemen here are all led by the king! ”

The generals who heard the voice answered one after another.

Ping'an said to Wang Bin: "You have put your men and horses in order, and then you will break through this opening and go to the northwest." If you know that Qu Neng's army has not broken through the Huangbei River, you will overturn the enemy soldiers at the Wenchang bridge! ”

Wang Bin clenched his fists and said: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Ping An suddenly laughed, lowered his voice and said, "This is a great achievement, it depends on how I speak afterwards." Mr. Wang, you really have to think about it, how to pat my ass and be happy! ”

Wang Bin's face suddenly turned red.
