Chapter 247: Fighting the Vortex River Again (1)
Xu Yifan guessed right, now on the south bank of the Vortex River, there are still 30,000 infantry and 20,000 homeless people, 50,000 troops!
What happened on the north bank completely fell into the eyes of the 50,000 intruders, watching the Ming army defeat the 20,000 intruding cavalry, and the 50,000 intruders were in a hurry and had no way, and now the entire pontoon bridge has been destroyed, how to cross the river to participate in the battle and wade through the water? That watery, fart-? I'm afraid that before I got ashore, I was already killed by the Ming army!
General Liu Guochang and General Guoyi Li You could only watch the cavalry of the intrusive army being defeated by the Ming army little by little, and their hearts were devastated!
"Brother Liu, what should we do now? The war in the north is over, and Brother Zong Min doesn't know his whereabouts, so let's just return to Guide Mansion? ”
Li You asked astringently.
Liu Guochang sighed and replied, "Return to Defu?" Thanks to what you said, we are still waiting for us to send troops to help, King Chuang has suffered a heavy blow in Kaifeng, and may be besieged by the Ming army at any time, if we can't speed up the rush, then King Chuang will be in big trouble. Now there is an ambush of the Ming army in the north, and the pontoon bridge has been broken, there are not a few ships near here at all, and it is impossible to transport tens of thousands of troops, we have only one way, that is, to detour to the Sui River, from the bridge of the Sui River, I don't believe it, they can still set up an ambush on the Sui River Bridge at the same time! ”
Li You nodded and replied: "Okay, since that's the case, let's set off immediately, from here to Sui County, it's only a hundred and ten miles away, two days, enough time for us to arrive in Sui County and cross the vortex River!" ”
A hundred miles away, for the rapid march of the army, really not too far away, originally only wanted to be able to reach Kaifeng as soon as possible, had to choose the ferry of Qixian County, now the pontoon bridge of the Qixian ferry has been destroyed, there are a large number of Ming troops on the opposite side, and only choose the ferry of Suixian.
In just over a day, 50,000 troops had arrived at the Qixian ferry.
For the sake of insurance, Liu Guochang specially sent scouts to the other side of the vortex river to spy on the enemy's situation, but fortunately, the other side really did not find that there were Ming troops entering and leaving, and it was the best time to cross the river.
Liu Guochang gave an order, and the 50,000 Chuang army lined up a long snake formation and rushed towards the other side of the Vortex River.
Liu Guochang looked at the army that had all crossed the river, and let out a long breath, now it's okay, after crossing the vortex river, that is a horse Pingchuan, immediately rushed to Kaifeng Mansion, two days, enough for the army to come to Kaifeng Mansion!
"The herald ordered, the army rested at the ferry for half a day, and at noon, the army rushed towards Kaifeng Mansion on time, and must arrive at Kaifeng Mansion within two days!"
Liu Guochang shouted.
After two days and two nights of rapid marching, the army was exhausted, and was given the order to rest, the main force of the army was fine, at least it could still look like an army, but more than 20,000 homeless people were not good, lying on the ground, and fell asleep!
Less than an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves began to sound rapidly from the east, and more than 10,000 cavalry rushed towards the camp like a whirlwind!
Liu Guochang and Li You led the army to march all the way to the Sui County ferry, Xu Yifan did not hurry to do it, it took a day and a half to break into the army, but the Ming army took two days and two nights, along the way, the cavalry was in a hurry, and the spirit had already been adjusted to the best state.
Before crossing the river the day before, Liu Guochang sent scouts to spy on the enemy's situation, Xu Yifan's army was still fifty miles away, and after a night, the army had all crossed the vortex river, and more than 10,000 cavalry led by Xu Yifan had naturally arrived at the Sui County ferry!
Without saying a word, Xu Yifan commanded more than 10,000 cavalry and launched a sharp surprise attack on the breaking army!
Starting from the Qixian ferry, to arriving at the Suixian ferry, and then crossing the vortex river, the infantry battalion of the Chuang army has not been rested for almost two days and two nights, and it is the time of sleepiness, even the main force of the infantry has been drowsy, and the spirit is sluggish, and the vigilance of the entire Chuang army has been relaxed to the lowest point!
I didn't even hear the sound of the horse's hooves, Liu Guochang had been a great enemy for a long time, and woke up from his sleep, the sound of the horse's hooves? The sound of horses' hooves like thunder!
Liu Guochang jumped up and shouted: "Get up, get up, there is a situation!" ”
Li You jumped up almost at the same time, looking towards the east, only to see that not far from the east, a puff of smoke and dust covered the sky, the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and a cavalry had already appeared in sight!
"Cavalry, the cavalry of the invading army has been completely defeated, it will definitely not be Liu Zongmin's cavalry, only the cavalry of the Ming army!"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
A terrible roar came out of Li You's mouth, "Order, fight, emergency!" The Ming cavalry is coming! ”
One by one, the soldiers of the invading army woke up from their sleep one after another, and before they understood what was going on, the cavalry of the Ming army was already close at hand!
The two large battalions of the left and right cavalry of Tongzhou Town, plus the cavalry battalion of the Chinese army, 12,300 people, divided into three columns, rushed towards the camp of the Ming army!
There was no time left for the invading army to prepare for the battle, and the three cavalry crashed into the camp of the invading army!
"The Ming army is coming, the cavalry of the Ming army is coming! Run! ”
Such a majestic cavalry fiercely entered the invading army, and the invading army that had not fully woken up had not yet fully woken up, and most of them had not even had time to pick up their weapons, and the invading army at the front was directly knocked out by the war horses!
The easternmost army was the camp of 20,000 displaced people, how could a rabble withstand such an onslaught? Caught off guard, the homeless people scattered and fled, bumping around like headless flies, and some even kicked their companions to the ground in order to be able to escape, just so that they could survive!
"Fight, fight!"
Liu Guochang and Li Youfei got on their horses and began to command the main force of the infantry to start fighting, but at this time, the opportunity has been lost, even if it has the main force of 30,000 infantry, in front of the cavalry that has completely let go of the speed, there is no power to parry, one by one the soldiers of the army were split in half by the sabre in the hands of the cavalry of the Ming army, and blood was splashed!
The whole position was in shambles, mourning was everywhere, and the terrible cry broke through the sky!
The three cavalry were like sharp swords, tearing apart the position of the invading army in an instant, and then a tragic massacre began!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
One by one, the soldiers of the Ming army were like beating chicken blood, excited, constantly waving the swords in their hands, harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the breaking army, the entire army was shattered by the impact, even if the strength was three times that of the opponent, it was useless, and the defeat was decided!
