To bite the Dongyu cavalry, Lin Jian led dozens of cavalry guards to join the fourth battalion led by Zhao Qingshan.

The Weihe, Jihe, and Yellow rivers in the north of Jinan are flat, and the fields that deviate from the avenue are also cold and solid, and the impact on the march is far less than the snowstorm at this time.

After leaving Jinan, the Jiangdong Left Army marched on the vast field in the order of the left flank, the right flank, the left wait, the right wait, and the middle army, and the left flank, right flank, left wait, and right hou armies all had two sentinels and more than 400 horse infantry, scattered on the four flanks, and the Chinese army was the main force, with a total of more than 1,600 people from the seven sentry horse infantry and the engineering battalion marching along the avenue in the center.

The armies were filled with elite scouts, in addition to communicating with each other, to prevent a small number of Eastern outposts from infiltrating the inner line to discover the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army hidden in the middle.

For the march to the north, not only did they make full preparations in terms of materials, but Lin Lian, Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and others studied the way of marching for a long time, and the route was also carefully chosen, and various plans were drawn up for various situations that might be encountered, military attachés were trained, and non-commissioned soldiers were also fully mobilized.

In the early stage, Lin Tie made the Jiangdong Left Army resolutely block the Dongyu sentinels on the periphery of Jinan Province, in addition to training troops and boosting the morale of the Jinan defenders, the most important thing is to confuse the Dongyu. The more resolute the will to resist the Jinan Mansion, the more the Dongyu cavalry did not dare to spread out on a large scale, so as to alleviate the resistance for them to move diagonally from the east of the Plains Mansion. Lin Jian fought in Jinan Mansion, not only did he not erect the banner of the Jiangdong Left Army, but he also did not plan to erect the banner of the Jiangdong Left Army before penetrating into Yannan.

Zhao Qingshan led the fourth battalion of two sentinel infantry to prepare for battle.

Lin Tie dismounted, the snow particles hit his face and hurt, walked to Zhao Qingshan's side, and watched dozens of Eastern Cavalry riding diagonally in front of the formation, sometimes back and forth, left and right, archery conflicts stirred this side, and farther away was the three hundred Eastern Cavalry standing in the blizzard like a mountain, the cold wind as strong as a knife and the snow particles like small stones falling down, did not make their spirits a little sluggish.

"This cavalry is a little tougher than the sentry cavalry that entered the periphery of Jinan Mansion to reconnoitre, and it didn't make a move after a while, so that people can't see clearly whether they are going to attack or waiting for the cavalry behind to converge......" Zhao Qingshan bit the dry grass stem in the corner of his mouth, saw Lin Tie coming, spit out the chewed grass roots, and gathered the big to keep out the cold, and said to Lin Tie.

"By doing a retreat posture, you can lure them into attack," Lin Jian said, "I have ordered Ning Zechen to lead the fifth battalion to come over to cover your left flank or attack the enemy cavalry from the left flank. After there are no more enemy horses, the two of you must hold the enemy horses on this road, and not let them penetrate into the inner line......"

"That's enough......" Zhao Qingshan said.

Nowadays, the three provinces of Yannan have become the inner line of entering the Dongyu, but it does not mean that the three provinces of Yannan have been completely controlled by the Dongyu, and there are still many fortress strongholds scattered on the Heji Plain that have not been completely occupied by the Dongyu.

The local heroes, village soldiers, and officers and soldiers who were crippled but did not have time to escape occupied these barriers and waited for help.

The township soldiers defend the countryside and the township heroes defend their homes, and their will to fight is much stronger and more tenacious than that of the township army in the city.

The goal of the Eastern Captives was to plunder, so naturally they would not use too many casualties to storm these powerful barriers, but only cut off the connection between these barriers to ensure that they would not become a serious threat to their inner line.

Similarly, the strength of the Donglu is not enough to block all the roads in and out of Yannan, and they will not mind too much about the small group of officers and soldiers infiltrating and reconnoitring in the Yannan area, but the Donglu will not let the main force of the officers and soldiers of the formation penetrate Yannan and directly threaten its inner line.

Lin Tie and they first had to hide their intention to penetrate Yannan, and the second was to avoid exposing the main force to the eyes of the Dongyu outpost as much as possible. This is also the fundamental reason why Lin Jian incorporated the Seven Sentinel Horse Infantry and the Engineer Battalion into the Chinese army, and also avoided the Chinese army from being directly discovered by the enemy cavalry as much as possible.

"If you can't resist it, you will spread out to the right flank......" Lin Jian pressed Zhao Qingshan's shoulder, and did not put too much pressure on him.

"With these two good things," Zhao Qingshan pressed his hand on the three-bow bed crossbow beside him and said, "I can hold it." ”

Lin Jian smiled, the cavalry attacked, and the three-bow bed crossbow also had time to send an arrow, but he was not worried that he would not be able to defeat the cavalry in front of him, but once the fourth battalion could not resist the pressure and retreated to the right flank, it was to let the main force of the Chinese army come out to meet the enemy. They could not completely annihilate this cavalry, as long as a fish escaped from the net, it would be difficult to cover up their intention to penetrate from Pingyuan Mansion to Yannan, and they could only lead the Jiangdong Left Army to retreat south.

In the territory of Pingyuan Prefecture, it is too close to the main force of the Dongyu cavalry, a distance of one or two hundred miles, and the enemy cavalry can catch up with them in a day by force, and at this time, Lin Jian cannot risk the destruction of the whole army and then forcibly intersperse it.

In addition to the scouts and auxiliaries, the two sentinel infantry on the left flank led by Zhao Qingshan had a total of six teams, mainly infantry formed to form left and right, and a small number of cavalry gathered behind the flank.

Lin Lian turned over and got on his horse, sat on horseback and watched Zhao Qingshan command the battle, and Ning Zechen's troops had already approached from the left flank, and they had not been exposed for the time being.

Zhao Qingshan galloped back and forth to supervise the battle, causing the two capital teams in front of the sudden retreat to retreat, making a posture of crossing the southward retreat, and inducing the enemy cavalry to attack.

Lin Jian sat on the back of the horse and squinted at the north, the enemy rider really couldn't let the fat on the side of his mouth run away, first walked slowly, and began to speed up at four or five hundred paces, and the horse's hooves splashed the snow, like a rain of arrows in the blizzard.

Wait for the enemy cavalry to rush to 300 paces, and the two bed crossbows with the longest range will shoot first.

Two crossbow arrows as thick as giant spears shot out horizontally, hitting both horses head-on, and you could almost see the blood splashing from the arrows and the horse's chest. The two horses that had been shot only neighed loudly, struggled to fall, and splashed a cloud of snow. One of them pinned his crossbow bolts to the horse's thighs and pressed them under the horse, while the other jumped up with agility, and then a rider picked him up by the waist, and the two rode together. The two horses in front fell to the ground at the moment of being shot, and the cavalry behind quickly and skillfully divided into two teams to avoid, and the formation was not scattered.

Lin Jian looked at the superb riding skills of the enemy cavalry, and gasped, this is definitely the most elite combat power of Dongyu, Zhao Qingshan led the fourth battalion to be afraid that he would not be able to resist alone, and hurriedly ordered the left and right guards: "Send a message to Ning Zechen to lead his troops to force up from the left flank!" ”

The two guards turned their horses and burrowed into the wind and snow, and ran to the right flank to give orders.

"Don't mess up your formation, the crossbow arrows must be fired in order, I will go to the right flank to cover you......" Lin Jian ordered Zhao Qingshan, he took off his crossbow from under the saddle, and rode his horse to the right side with dozens of guards to strengthen the right flank of the fourth battalion.

The three-bow bed crossbow was very slow to reload, and it was too late to shoot two arrows, and after the first arrow was fired, it could only be dragged to the back to reload; The enemy cavalry assaulted to two hundred paces, and at this time the crossbow bolt between the high shield and the flying contradictory car was launched. I saw that the more than a dozen cavalry soldiers at the front of the accident pulled their horses and spun sideways at the moment when the crossbow arrows were fired, and the people quickly turned around and hid behind the saddle, and the crossbow arrows with great strength could only be shot at the horses, and occasionally shot the thighs of the Eastern captives.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry only dissolved the first wave of crossbow arrows at the cost of sacrificing a dozen horses, Lin Lian's expression was grim. The dozen or so horses that had been shot at the crossbow spread out on both wings, or fell to their deaths, or suffered from pain and neighing, but most of the horsemen on horseback were unwounded, and after falling from their horses, they abandoned their bows and drew their swords and rushed forward to kill; The charging formation of the enemy cavalry was not affected much.

The enemy cavalry sprinted to within 100 paces, and the crossbow and the bow formed a dense rain of arrows, but the enemy cavalry in the former could also effectively hide the saddle and avoid the arrows, and even fired arrows back at the moment when the horse's head dodged, and the arrows fired were accurate and ruthless, drilling in through the gaps in the high shield, and shooting several people.

In the blink of an eye, the most sudden Sandu team pawns and the cavalry enemy killed in one place, Zhao Qingshan personally led a team of armor soldiers to raise shields, long bayonet guns, and Mo knives from the left side to clash with the enemy cavalry, in order to reduce the pressure of the frontal foot soldiers, and the right-wing armor soldiers also quickly rushed forward, and Lin Tie led the guards to rely on the right-wing armor pawns, and shot the enemy cavalry with crossbow arrows......

*************

Na Yan didn't know which unit the Southern Dynasty soldiers in front of him belonged to, and he hadn't seen the banner of this Southern Dynasty soldiers until now, but he had seen very early on that this Southern Dynasty soldiers were very different from the Southern Korean soldiers he had come into contact with in the past.

In the past, when encountering the Southern Dynasty soldiers in the field, especially the Southern Dynasty soldiers who were mainly foot soldiers, they would form an airtight formation to defend, with the main general as the center or forming a circle formation or a phalanx, with shields on the periphery, spears and crossbows between them, and perhaps elites living in it.

In this way, even if the Southern Dynasty soldiers had a tight defensive formation like a turtle shell, Na Yan was willing to gnaw on it. As long as you have the patience to tear open a small opening, you can pierce it like a sharp knife; Even if it can't be pierced, such a dense defensive formation is not conducive to a counterattack, and it is not a threat to the peripheral cavalry that moves quickly.

The Southern Dynasty soldiers in front of him were based on a team of 60 soldiers, each forming a formation to defend, and the interval was based on the fact that he could hear the shouting and summoning the order or see the banner and summoning the order, so that he could not calmly tear the enemy formation slowly with the tactics of loitering out, let alone surround more with less. Charging from the front, the Southern Dynasty soldiers on both flanks quickly rushed forward in formation, trying to form an encirclement of them.

There were five capital arrays of soldiers in the Southern Dynasties, which were mainly armored soldiers, and two capital arrays that were mainly cavalry, and the number of soldiers exceeded them by many people. In addition, in addition to more than a dozen strange cars called "flying contradictory cars" by the outpost rangers, there are also many strange spears with spikes and forks sticking out of the line, and the dense branches and forks are constantly chopped with knives, but it is easy to stab them on the horse after riding, even if they avoid the sharp spear blades, they are easy to sweep the dense branches that come from the forks and sweep off the horse. They didn't simply use the flying contradictory car to defend the car formation, and even hid the flying contradictory car behind the high shield, at the moment when the cavalry rushed forward, the high shield withdrew, and the flying contradictory car pushed several Southern Dynasty soldiers and rushed out, stabbing the horse's body at the same time, often making the cavalry on horseback unable to dodge, directly hitting the row of spears that flew up, and the whole body was nailed to it......

On a cold day, with endless wind and snow, Na Yan swung his knife and cut off the spear stabbed on the left, grabbed the reins, and shouted loudly to make Na Tuzhen gather his subordinates and follow him through. Although a team of Nandu soldiers was defeated from the front, but this method of battle was too difficult for him, Na Yan thought that he wanted to defeat all the Southern Dynasty soldiers of the Qidu team, and the Wang Tent soldiers he led had to lose most of them, not to mention that he had already concluded that there were more than one Nandu soldiers on the north bank of the Ji River.

The tent soldiers of King Nayan Gang disengaged from the fourth battalion and interspersed to the south side of the avenue, and Ning Zechen led the fifth battalion to arrive in time, got out of the blizzard, and appeared on the right side of the tent soldiers of the king of Nayan Gang Dongyu.

When it was dusk, the sky was dark, but when it was close, it was possible to distinguish the armor on both sides, the bows and crossbows were fired together, and the formation of the tent soldiers of the king of the Yan Department who had just been interspersed was scattered, and dozens of cavalry on the periphery on the right side suddenly dodged, and they were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and Yan was hit by an arrow in his arm. Seeing that the Nandu soldiers rushed to charge at them without stopping, he was busy and led his troops to drill out of the gap with Natuzhen, beat the horse to the north for several miles, and then turned around to repel the chasing Southern Dynasty cavalry, only to stop the horse to treat the arrow wound, and the number of people counted was that nearly 80 people could not escape, and there were 20 or 30 people who were seriously injured.
