Chapter 190: Taniguchi's First Battle

Han Daocheng ran this round trip, and the sun jumped overhead, and it was noon.

Li Fengxiao looked at the sky, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order the rear team outside the valley to come in, line up to the north, and block the cavalry of the Song army." The rest of you, wait for me, continue to attack the wall! ”

The Song army saw that the Jiaozhi army changed formations again, and another horn sounded, and Gao Daquan slowly came from a distance with the second team of cavalry, everything was like Han Daocheng before.

This time, the Jiaozhi people didn't care, and continued to approach the earthen wall.

After this delay, the small stone cannons of the Song army were finally erected, and the stone bullets rained down into the Jiaozhi army formation, and the Jiaozhi army formation quickly became scattered.

Li Fengxiao gritted his teeth and ordered the battle to regroup, no matter how many casualties there were, he just rushed towards the earthen wall.

At this time, the Jiaozhi army poured in from outside the valley again, bypassing their own military formation, until they went around to the north, holding down the formation, and aiming their spears and crossbows at the attacking Song army.

If you don't protect the flanks, you don't have to fight this formation, you can use your flesh and blood to resist the arrows and rain of the Song army, and stack all the corpses here sooner or later.

Gao Daquan saw the movement of the Jiaozhi people on the opposite side, his face was gloomy, and he looked at the distance that was close to a mile, and asked the soldiers around him to put three flower cannons in the back.

The sound of the cannon was clearer than the sound of the cannon being fired, and when the soldiers heard it, they were all instinctively taken aback, and when they saw that there was no accident, they reassured themselves.

Li Fengxiao scolded: "Pretend to be a ghost, and see what tricks these killings have!" ”

Gao Daquan led the cavalry to a place about a mile in front of the Jiaozhi array, and divided to both sides like Han Daocheng's flower arrangement. When the soldiers saw it, they laughed together. There are so many tricks for these Song people to pretend to be ghosts. But there is no egg for a frontal bloody battle.

The cavalry brigade split to the sides. This time, he didn't go straight back, just lingered on both sides.

When the soldiers were puzzled, they only heard a few cannon sounds of "knock, knock, knock", and the cannonballs whistled towards the gap made way by the tall cavalry.

When Li Fengxiao heard the sound of artillery, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, riding on foot, it was very important to have a strict formation, if it was bombarded by the Song army, the formation would be scattered. It will no longer be able to stop the cavalry from charging and killing.

As the cannonballs swept out of the gap, Gao Daquan shouted loudly, and rushed to the Jiaozhi army formation with his horse first.

Some of the elite cavalry at the forefront are covered in iron armor, and unless there is a hard crossbow in the Jiaozhi military formation, it is difficult to pose a threat to them. Especially Gao Daquan, with complete armor and strength, the spear in his hand shook out a blank in the military formation. The cavalry behind them marched in turn, straight to the south. It is necessary to chisel the Jiaozhi army formation in pairs.

Li Fengxiao saw that the general trend had gone, and reluctantly ordered the herald to order the withdrawal of the army. With the most elite Chinese army, he greeted Gao Daquan, who had already rushed into the military formation.

Gao Daquan had already set his eyes on Li Fengxiao, and when he saw him bringing someone to greet him, he also went forward to greet him.

Li Fengxiao is a native of Aizhou close to Champa, born with courage, and was recruited by Li Gongyun to join the army after fighting in the south and the north, and has made countless military exploits. In particular, when Li Foma ascended the throne to quell the "Rebellion of the Three Kings", he took the lead in leading the forbidden army to express his support for Li Foma, and stabbed King Wude, and since then he has embarked on the peak of his life.

Gao Daquan has strength, I heard that there is such a figure in the Jiaozhi army, and I have always had the intention to try it between the two, how can I let go of this opportunity.

Xu Ping observed the battle situation on the mountain, and said to Sang Yi: "The Jiaozhi army formation has been chaotic, the sun is slanting to the west, and it seems that today's victory and defeat have been divided." This Li Fengxiao dared to fight and kill, but he didn't have the courage to fight at night. ”

Sang Yi said: "What, there is going to be a truce?" Now that we have the upper hand, why not take this opportunity to teach the Jiaozhi people a lesson and let them know that they are two pounds! ”

"If you continue to fight like this, you will attack the enemy's strength with my shortness, which is unwise! The strong ballista stone cannons we arranged in the valley, once the two sides get together, they will be useless, and it is better to pull away. ”

The two sides are fighting, swords and guns, and flesh and blood flying, which seems to be bloody, but in fact, it is difficult for both sides to achieve overwhelming results. In the war of cold weapons, as soon as it enters the stage of hand-to-hand combat, it is time to compare courage, and only by defeating the opponent can we achieve decisive results.

There are only more than 2,000 cavalry in the tall and full belt, and it is originally a harassment, and it is impossible for this man and horse to defeat the Jiaozhi army, these Jiaozhi elites are not so vulnerable.

With Xu Ping's military order, Han Daocheng attacked again, this time neither by dangling a shot, nor by helping Gao Daquan to rush to kill the Jiaozhi people, but only by picking up his men and horses.

Li Fengxiao looked at the sun in the sky, then at the distant cavalry of the Song army, and then at the earthen wall next to it that was still raining arrows and bullets, sighed in his heart, and reluctantly ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Although more than 2,000 lives were lost in vain today, Li Fengxiao was not discouraged. As long as you know Song Jun's arrangement, you will always come up with a way to deal with it. How could tens of thousands of elite soldiers be blocked by thousands of Song troops. Only Chen Changji, whose brain can't turn, will rush straight towards the state city, fall into the trap of the Song army, and bury more than 10,000 people in one day.

On the top of the mountain, Xu Ping watched the Jiaozhi army slowly retreat towards the valley mouth, and said to Sang Yi: "In today's battle, we and Jiaozhi both know each other's methods. The Cochins will inevitably find a way to go back, and I guess they will still try their best to attack the earthen wall, and as long as they occupy a section of the earthen wall, they will turn the situation back. ”

Sang Yi said with a smile: "Speaking of the sky, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 Jiaozhi people, and today both sides are testing each other, and they have not gone all out." Wait until tomorrow, if the Cochin people still attack like today, it will not make it as easy for them as they are today. I took the van army and cavalry to kill his flank, and fought to the death! ”

Xu Ping looked at the territory of Jiaozhi on the south side of the mountain and sighed: "That's right, this battle must be resolved quickly and cannot be dragged on." It's mid-March, the rainy season is just around the corner, and there is still some sugar cane to be harvested, and there is still new land to plant. ”

At this time, the rear army of the Jiaozhi army had just withdrawn from the valley mouth, and the Chinese army was slowly retreating out of the valley with the stone bullets dropped on the top of the mountain, and the front army and the Song army in the valley also disengaged.

"Lu Fang!" Xu Ping looked at the situation, turned around and shouted.

Lu Fang ran over from the side and promised loudly.

Xu Ping said in a deep voice: "The Jiaozhi people will not retreat, it is the right time." You immediately rushed down the hill with a thousand men, buried gunpowder under the earthen wall they had built, and blew it up! ”

Lu Fang took the order and turned around.

Xu Ping had already ordered Lu Fang to prepare manpower and gunpowder to blow up the earthen wall below, but he never had a chance. At this time, the Jiaozhi army retreated, it was precisely the military order that could not be done, and when it was the most chaotic, it took half an hour to bury the gunpowder, and they could not react.
