On the fifth day of December, in the valley more than ten miles wide east of Shaanzhou, the turbulent Yellow River rolled waves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info10,000 heavily armed soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army protected 30,000 heavy men, pushing grain carts and chariots, and marching forward on the official road parallel to the Yellow River.

Shaanzhou is located at the western end of Henan, near Tongguan, the boundary between Shaanxi and Henan. The commander of this grain transport army was Li Laosi, who was preparing to transport grain to Tongguan, two hundred miles away.

After the main force of the Western Route Army of the Huben Army attacked Shaanzhou, the Chuang Army continued to retreat westward and withdrew to the vicinity of Tongguan. Li Xing led the main force of the 30,000 West Route Army to continue westward and attack Tongguan, which had penetrated 700 miles into the mountains of western Henan.

On the plains of eastern and central Henan, Li Zhi now sent 10,000 new soldiers to garrison, and there was no problem. The biggest difficulty now is the problem of grain and grass on the front line.

From Luoyang to the west, there is the boundless mountain of western Henan. To the north is the Taihang Mountains, and to the south is the Qinling Mountains. In the middle of this mountain, only a few narrow valleys between the mountains can be meandered through. But even in the valleys of the mountains, there are ravines and hills.

When the Qin State rose in Guanzhong, it relied on these mountains to block the siege of the Six Kingdoms.

There is no doubt that Li Xing's Western Route Army could not get local grain and grass in such a mountainous area. The thieves spread rumors everywhere that Li Zhi wanted to recapture the land that King Chuang had given to the peasants, and that the people were unwilling to sell their grain to the Tiger Army. When these mountain people heard that the Tiger Ben army was coming, they pushed the grain cart and hid in the mountains, and the Hu Ben army could not search and capture these mountain people in the dense mountain forest.

Therefore, the Tiger Ben Army could only rely on Li Laosi to organize a grain transportation team to transport grain from Luoyang, which was 700 miles away.

However, the grain convoy walked very slowly, and the large and small vehicles traveled through the rugged valleys, which were undoubtedly the best prey. Li Zicheng had already made plans to plunder the food transport team of the Tiger Ben Army, so he naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.

Li Laosi looked at the slowly advancing grain transport team, and was about to urge the soldiers to go faster, but suddenly saw eight scouts in front of him galloping towards him.

The scouts had a small red flag on their backs, indicating that they had encountered the most urgent military situation. When the guards saw the small red flag, they hurriedly got out of the way and let the scouts walk in front of Li Laosi.

"Handsome! There is an enemy in front, and it is the main force of the horse army that breaks into the thieves! ”

Li Laosi's face changed slightly, and he asked, "How many people came?" ”

The scout squad leader arched his hand and said: "I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 horse troops, and the momentum is violent." It is less than twenty miles from here. ”

Hearing the words of the scout squad leader, He Donggui, the head of the regiment next to Li Laosi, turned pale and asked nervously, "There are more than 100,000?" Doesn't that mean that all the cavalry of the invading army has come? ”

The scout squad leader nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's true!" ”

He Donggui asked in a panic: "Commander, what can I do about this?" The horse army twenty miles away was coming in an instant, and it would not take half an hour to kill here. We just want to dig a ditch and hold on, but it's too late. ”

Li Laosi looked at He Donggui and said, "Don't panic! We have the owner's rocket car. ”

He Donggui was stunned, and said: "That rocket car is sharp, but can it stop 100,000 intruding cavalry?" ”

Li Laosi nodded and said, "It should be able to be stopped." ”

Li Laosi no longer said to He Donggui, and gave an order to let the troops go to the Yellow River. With their backs to the river, the grain transport army put up a defensive formation. All kinds of baggage carts and grain trucks were surrounded on three sides, forming a barrier to block the cavalry. The riflemen stood behind the baggage carts and formed a three-row wheel firing formation. Minzhuang, who was transporting food and grass, stood in the middle of these fighters.

Outside the baggage truck, there are a thousand rocket cars. Each rocket vehicle is operated by three people, one is responsible for operating the combat vehicle, one is responsible for aiming, and one is responsible for ignition.

The grain transport army had just completed the formation, and the cavalry of the thieves had already attacked five miles away and appeared in Li Laosi's telescope.

The so-called soldiers are more than 10,000, boundless, not to mention more than 100,000 cavalry. Li Laosi stood on the command car and looked to the west, only to feel that the cavalry of the intruding army was dense and could not see the edge, and I was afraid that all the valleys south of the river were crowded.

The cavalry queue of the invading army was not very neat, and the equipment of the cavalry was relatively simple, the equipped ones wore a piece of cotton armor, and the poorly equipped only wore cotton clothes.

But this did not reduce the momentum of the more than 100,000 cavalry, and the cavalry of the invading army had a small yellow flag on their backs, which looked like a yellow sea churning and agitation. Not only does the transverse side occupy the entire south bank of the river, but the longitudinal side also extends all the way over, stretching for more than ten miles.

The horse's hooves shook the earth as it shook the earth. The horse's hooves kicked up patches of smoke and dust on the dirt, and when they looked over the soldiers of the Tiger Army, they only felt a sandstorm rising in the west.

The Chuang army rushed unstoppably towards Li Zhi's grain convoy, as if they were going to trample the 10,000 Tiger Ben soldiers to pieces with their horses' hooves.

Seeing the momentum of the intruding army, He Donggui's face became whiter and whiter. He turned his head to look at Li Laosi and said, "Division... Division Commander, I'm afraid we're going to fold here today..."Gritting his teeth, He Donggui made up his mind and said, "Division Commander, you ride your horse and retreat first!" I will lead these 10,000 people to the division commander's palace! ”

Li Laosi was also a little worried, could the owner's new weapon stop the cavalry that broke into the army? Li Laosi looked at He Donggui and did not speak. The soldiers on the periphery of the Formation Formation were also frightened by the momentum of the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the intruding army, and their faces were a little pale.

At the beginning of the Battle of Jinzhou, Li Zhi led 16,000 men to meet the charge of 50,000 Qing cavalry, but was broken through the front by the Qing army. Now the Tiger Ben Army is just 10,000 against hundreds of thousands of cavalry, can this be won? How many people are going to die?

Will it be completely overwhelmed by the invading cavalry?

The soldiers all looked a little solemn, and secretly said that after eating the soldier's meal for so many years, they couldn't be good today. Fortunately, Jin Guogong's pension is generous enough, and even if he dies in battle, his family will not suffer.

When morale was shaking, Li Laosi asked the drummer to beat the war drums. The sound of the drum spread far away, which restored the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the grain transportation army.

Li Laosi secretly said that at this moment, he could only trust the rocket car of Jin Guogong, and shouted loudly: "Prepare for the rocket car!" ”

The flag was unfurled, and Li Laosi's order was passed on. The 3,000 rocket riders lowered the brackets on the 1,000 rocket carts and aimed the rocket carts in the direction of the attacking army from the west.

Within two miles of the intruding army, 16,000 heavy rockets were about to be launched.

This side is preparing new weapons, and the intruding army is riding their horses and charging into battle.

The Chuang army did not attack the Tiger Ben army directly, the Chuang army thieves had the intention to scare the Tiger Ben army with the momentum of 120,000 cavalry, and walked in a zigzag shape in the valley, raising dust with the horse's hooves to the greatest extent. The so-called good fighters are soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the soldiers and soldiers are all veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, and they are the best at attacking the heart.

In the middle of the cavalry that broke into the army, Hao Shaoqi looked at the tiger army in the distance, and said with some apprehension: "Liu Fangliang, you see that none of the officers and soldiers escaped. How do I feel that the 10,000 tiger army is guarding the edge of the river, as if they are confident? ”

Li Zicheng's subordinates fell sharply, Liu Fangliang spat out a mouthful of phlegm, and scolded: "Hao Shaoqi, have you eaten too much? What is confident, I think I was stupid by us. Hao Shaoqi, don't be afraid, our 120,000 horse army has captured Li Zhi's grain transportation team, and we will never lose this battle. ”

Hao Shaoqi heard Liu Fangliang say that he was scared, and he was suddenly stimulated. He jerked his horse and scolded: "Thief, who is afraid!" Look at me leading my troops to rush up and break through the chariot formation of the Tianjin people! ”

Hao Shaoqi took the lead and rushed to the forward line.

On the command vehicle of the Tiger Ben Army, Li Laosi looked at the army of thieves and cavalry that was getting closer and closer, and calculated the distance little by little.

Three miles.

Two and a half miles.

Erli.

When the distance arrived, Li Laosi gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Rocket car shooting!" ”
