Chapter 133 The ever-changing

The war horses galloped, rolling up waves of sand and dust, like a yellow tornado, attacking Aineng in the march.

Sheng Kunshan took the lead and saw Ainengqi's army in a long snake shape. He was overjoyed and immediately shouted: "Switch horses! Crash the formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the reins with his hands slightly, looked very accurate, and jumped towards the empty horse that he quickly caught up with, and completed the change of horses in a quick mercedes.

After hearing Sheng Kunshan’s shouting, the twenty guards immediately shouted in unison: “Switch horses! Crash the formation!”

The knights who heard the order also yelled, and in the end all the knights were yelling: "Swap the horse! Forward the formation!" As the roar, all the knights completed the horse replacement neatly and crashed into the panicked infantry at a faster speed.

The sound of clattering, mixed with the roars of the knights, made Ainengqi's infantry frightened. They were already tired and they were approaching the verge of collapse.

In the eyes of more than a thousand knights, they are already lambs to be slaughtered!

What a great Ainengqi. Before the report of the horse exploration was completely gone, he immediately ordered the front army to retreat and form a formation on a ground three miles away. He ordered the rear army to form a formation immediately, trying to resist the cavalry camp and buy time for the front army.

After receiving the order, the front army immediately ran backwards under the leadership of the officers. As soon as they crossed the rear army, the cavalry camp had already arrived after the front army's butt. At this time, the rear army had just formed an intercepting formation.

Although the rear army was extremely tired, although most of the bandits had no time to put on armor, and although the formation was far from Ainengqi's requirements, it was enough to scare away the Cavalry Camp.

In order to form a cavalry, Lin Chunhong spent countless energy and money, and regarded each knight and war horse as a treasure. Therefore, he stipulated that the Cavalry Camp was strictly prohibited from rushing after the enemy soldiers formed a formation.

Sheng Kunshan would never dare to regard Lin Chunhong's words as wind in his ears, and immediately ordered the cavalry to keep disturbing Ainengqi and poured the crossbow arrows at his hand into the infantry formation.

But this did not cause much damage to Ainengqi. Sheng Kunshan simply ordered each sentry to take turns to disturb Ainengqi, and it was necessary to prevent Ainengqi's subordinates from resting and eating.

Under such a difficult situation, Ainengqi's rear army did not collapse and persisted until the afternoon. Ainengqi ordered the rear army to slowly retreat and retreated to the front army before he got a chance to breathe.

The Cavalry Camp stopped disturbing, leaving Ding Kuian with a scepter to monitor Ainengqi from afar, and the other horses headed towards Longjian. The Cavalry Camp was tired, and even if the soldiers could hold on, the horses could not stand it. In Longjian, there was a military station established by the Preparatory Camp where the Cavalry Camp could get supplies and restoring its physical strength.

The cavalry has strong instantaneous action ability, but the consumption of large amounts of food and grass makes it impossible for the cavalry to leave the base camp too far unless the cavalry can find enough food and grass on the battlefield.

Before the hour of You, the gloomy God put away his last bright color and the whole earth fell into darkness. The soldiers who had just arrived at the military station unloaded the saddles on the horses and let the horses roll on the ground to have fun. The entire military station immediately neighed, just like the horse market on the border, very lively.

The small manager at the station smiled charmingly and welcomed Sheng Kunshan and his party into the station. They served tea and poured water, and they were very satisfied with Cheng Shu's meticulousness and thoughtfulness. After a while, they ordered the guards to guard the gate and not allow any idle people to approach. Then they opened the map, inserted small flags on the map, and studied the situation on the battlefield with the whistle generals.

As the discussion deepened, the generals looked at each other. Ai Nengqi arrived at Bikou, disrupting the entire deployment of the Jingzhou army. At present, Sun Kewang and Zhang Baichuan were leading more than a thousand troops to approach Bikou. Their purpose of responding to Ai Nengqi was obvious. Lin Chunhong personally led three Chebuying and Piliying troops to the city of Biyang, and should have joined the formation with Zhang Xianzhong. The Tiance Camp of Chu Wenshan was stationed in Xubao and is currently basically idle.

This is a waste for the Jingzhou army, which has far fewer troops than Zhang Xianzhong. The so-called use of troops is always to attack less with more and attack less with strongly with weak. However, although the Cavalry Camp has now delayed Ainengqi, can Lin Chunhong lead his troops in time? Even if he leads his troops, will there be any fighter jets to defeat Ainengqi when Sun Kewang senses the plot of the Jingzhou army?

Ge Wenfei regretted that he clenched his steel teeth and punched him on the map. "If I had hit Ainengqi today, the battle situation might have been clear, and there was no need for the general to come here!"

Ge Wenfei said what Zheng Guodong and Han Kesheng were saying in his heart, and they all turned their doubtful eyes to Sheng Kunshan.

Sheng Kunshan lowered his head and stared at the map. He seemed to have never heard Ge Wenfei's words. Instead, Wu Tianzhu chuckled and said, "When I was fighting against the Mongolian Tartars in Guyuan, I was never afraid of the Mongolians rushing forward. Once I rushed down, I had a credit for the heads. What I feared most was that the Mongolians came and left suddenly. You never know when and where he would appear next. Such a battle would be a plea for me!"

Zheng Guodong and Ge Wenfei disagreed, while Han Kesheng had a deep understanding. He had been on the Mongolian grassland for several years. If he didn't even know this, it would be a waste of time. Han Kesheng's face was solemn: "Indeed, in Datong, even if the people formed a chariot formation, the Mongolians would not dare to rush directly to the formation!"

Sheng Kunshan looked up and stared at Han Kesheng, snorted, and said, "Why are you doing such a heavy face? Now we have cavalry, but Zhang Xianzhong doesn't. We should be happy."

After saying that, Sheng Kunshan threw away a small flag at hand and said seriously: "President Wu's words are the truth. If you rush down at one time, your brothers will lose at least 10%. We cannot bear such losses."

Sheng Kunshan sighed and continued, "There are quite a few talented people under Zhang Xianzhong. You have also seen Ai Nengqi's military management. In such an emergency, he can actually stabilize his position and is a genius! Among the officers and soldiers, I have never seen such a talented person."

Ge Wenfei was obviously dissatisfied and said, "How can one not die in a war? Since the general wants to avenge the Baigang soldier, he cannot care about this loss of troops!"

Sheng Kunshan's face darkened and shouted, "Nonsense! Where did you hear about it? Revenge the Baigang Soldier? Nonsense! Remember, Zhang Xianzhong is nothing and has never been listed as an important target by the general. How can the general be willing to use precious cavalry to rush forward?"

This was beyond Ge Wenfei's understanding. He looked at Sheng Kunshan with confusion, looking forward to Sheng Kunshan's explanation.

Sheng Kunshan slowly walked to Ge Wenfei, patted his shoulder, and said, "You think carefully. For generals, it is not just about fighting, there are many things in all aspects, including money, food, weapons, strategic goals, tactical goals... There are too many. When you figure this out, according to the general, you can stand alone and be the commander of the side."

After saying that, he ignored Ge Wenfei and sneered: "Sun Kewang only sent more than a thousand reinforcements, and underestimated our cavalry camp too much! I will continue to entangle Ainengqi tomorrow! I don't believe it, Sun Kewang will watch Ainengqi collapse..."

...

At the same time, Lin Chunhong led the main force to five miles away from the county town, camping as if no one was around, and regarded Zhang Xianzhong's more than 8,000 troops as dead. Zhang Xianzhong immediately ordered Bai Wenxuan to lead the headquarters to attack, preparing to take advantage of Lin Chunhong's unstable foothold and severely attack the morale of the Jingzhou army. Shortly after Bai Wenxuan left the city gate, he was hit by a flying crossbow all over the sky. After leaving more than 200 bodies, he fled back to the county town in a panic.

Early the next morning, Lin Chunhong led the Tiger Fighting Camp, Tianwu Camp, Shenwei Camp and Pili Camp to fight. After making a formation, he ordered Pili Camp to aim at the city wall and bombarded the east wall.

"Boom...boom..." The continuous cannon sounds have lasted for two quarters of an hour, and are still testing Zhang Xianzhong's tolerance limit. Outside the east gate of Biyang County, there is smoke everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder is everywhere, which almost made Lin Chunhong have an illusion. In a daze, it seems that he has returned to his previous life.

The East Gate? It no longer exists. The city wall on the east side of the entire county town has been bombarded in a mess. There is almost no sign of the city wall, and only the piles of waste materials are left.

The ten thunderbolt cannons are indeed extraordinary. The range of thousands of steps can completely ensure the safety of the artillery soldiers. The firing rate of five rounds per minute makes Zhang Xianzhong feel that there are hundreds of artillery guns on the other side firing.

According to Zhang Xianzhong's vision, when he massacred refugees, Lin Chunhong would never sit idly by, at least he would send cavalry soldiers to disturb him, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the court. Based on this judgment, Zhang Xianzhong carefully designed a pocket by the Birhui River and waited for Lin Chunhong to get in. This judgment was correct. Lin Chunhong not only sent cavalry soldiers to disturb Sun Kewang, but also tried to rescue as many refugees as possible.

Zhang Xianzhong believed that the key to this battle was Ainengqi. If Lin Chunhong's main force was dispatched, Ainengqi would attack Xubao and burn the food and grass with fire, Lin Chunhong's Jingzhou army would have to be in trouble. If Lin Chunhong only sent cavalrymen to disturb Sun Kewang, Ainengqi would block Bikou and take the opportunity to eat the annoying cavalry.

The abacus was very good, but the intelligence collection, transmission and processing capabilities of the Jingzhou Army obviously exceeded Zhang Xianzhong's cognitive level. Lin Chunhong was so mobilized by his troops, how could he not see his wishful thinking? So he used the plan, used the Cavalry Camp to drag Sun Kewang, and used Xubao to drag Ainengqi. He personally led the main force to attack Biyang, hoping to beat Zhang Xianzhong and completely expel Biyang.

The only variable that appeared here was that the Jingzhou Army had done a great job of blocking the battlefield. Lin Chunhong led the main force to leave Xubao. Neither Zhang Xianzhong nor Ainengqi noticed it, and he thought that Lin Chunhong was still huddling in Xubao. So, this was the strange phenomenon of Ainengqi rushing towards the green mouth.
