During the trip to the southeast, Gao Yingxiang was chased by Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Yongfu, Liu Zeqing and Zu Dale, and was very embarrassed. Even Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, who had once joined forces with him, saw that he had become Lu Xiangsheng's key targets of attack, and were afraid that the disaster would arise himself and left him one after another.

In the battle of Chuzhou, Gao Yingxiang suffered more than half of his losses and fled to half of China. His riots and civilians were reduced from about 100,000. Anyone would be dismayed.

However, Gao Yingxiang obviously knew the truth that "the road is tortuous and the future is bright", and was full of revolutionary optimism. Think about it, since the uprising, he has been chased by officers and soldiers for most of the time and fled everywhere. How could he care about such a mere failure?

He originally planned to plunder food and grass in the Funiu Mountain area and strengthen his momentum, and then rushed to Luoyang and near Shanzhou to meet with bandits such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to encircle and suppress Zu Kuan. This plan is very wonderful. If you can't beat you alone, Lu Xiangsheng, I will ask someone to eat you together! That's how Cao Wenzhao was killed by them, and Gao Yingxiang wanted to use the same trick again.

However, when Gao Yingxiang was still licking his wounds in the mountains, he received a report. Lu Xiangsheng opened the Fangcheng Pass, turned northwest, and drove Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong hundreds of thousands to Shaanxi, and stationed in Luoyang Prefecture, trying his best to stop Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong from returning to Henan.

Gao Yingxiang was puzzled. Why did Lu Xiangsheng, who had always been like a maggot on his bones suddenly give up his advance? Nanyang area was almost unprepared. What was Lu Xiangsheng's intention?

Gao Yingxiang instinctively realized that there was a ghost in Nanyang area, and he immediately scattered cavalry to find out the situation in Nanyang.

The report of the scout cavalry was immediately sent back. In addition to more than 3,000 archers stationed in the prefecture city, Nanyang had only more than 5,000 archers in Tongbai.

Gao Yingxiang made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "A hundred thousand troops, the world is so big, where can't we go?"

After saying that, he immediately rushed through Fangcheng Pass and stepped into the Nanyang Basin.

For the Gao family army, who fled east and west at the end of last year was quite embarrassed and had never found an opportunity to rob. Now there are no pursuers behind and no heavy troops in front of them, so they can vent their vent. Therefore, the Gao family army inevitably fought grass valleys everywhere, causing the disaster in Fangcheng to mess up, and the march inevitably slowed down.

Just as the Gao family army was plundering happily, Gao Yingxiang received news: Lin Chunhong led the Jingzhou army to Nanyang Prefecture City day and night, with unknown numbers.

Gao Yingxiang suddenly realized, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

He is not unfamiliar with Lin Chunhong and Gao Yingxiang at all, and Gao Yingxiang is also not unfamiliar with Jingzhou Army. After all, both sides had fought hard, and Lin Chunhong not only killed his confidant general Guo Rupan, but also blocked his troops while watching, forcing him to turn around and go south.

If Gao Yingxiang doesn’t want to avenge this hatred, it would be impossible!

The generals under his command were even more excited and vowed to use Lin Chunhong's head as a urinal. General Liu Zhe immediately shouted: "Even if there are 100,000 Jing barbarians, they all run on the ground, and they are native chickens and tiles! I swear to destroy them!"

General Huang Long at least calmed down and said, "Once Jing Manzi shrinks, it is still very difficult to defend, especially the Red Barbarian Cannon, which is difficult to deal with!"

Huang Long participated in the Guankou Battle and was still scared of the cannons of the Jingzhou Army. He was even more aware of the Jingzhou Army's defensive ability and immediately pointed out the tricky points.

Wang Guangen was quite wise and thought for a moment, and said, "Jing Manzi is desperately hiking into Nanyang City, and he must be extremely tired..."

Speaking of this, Wang Guangen bowed to Gao Yingxiang and then said, "Why would the king lead the elite cavalry to attack the Jing Manzi quickly? Lin Chunhong will definitely be able to capture it in one battle! It will save you from getting into Nanyang and fighting after getting into trouble!"

Wang Guangen's plan was exactly what Gao Yingxiang thought. Generally speaking, the bandits rarely took the initiative to attack the city due to the lack of siege equipment. Last year in Chuzhou, the Gao family army was bleeding and lost more than half of the elite troops, which was the most bloody lesson.

Gao Yingxiang had no intention of fighting a difficult siege with Lin Chunhong, and he didn't want to watch Lin Chunhong live happily in Nanyang City. So he immediately ordered: "Liu Zhe, Wang Guangen! Immediately lead our cavalry to the south to fight against Jing Manzi! Be sure to hold him back. I personally lead the heavily armored cavalry to attack him. I must capture Lin Chunhong in this battle!"

The generals were filled with blood, gathered their troops and rushed south in a fierce manner...

When Liu Zhe and Huang Long gathered cavalry in Fangcheng, the Jingzhou army was more than 80 miles away from Nanyang. It took only two days and one night to get close to Nanyang City and be invincible.

The cold wind yells, and the clouds are like lead. Under the vast sky, the terrain is extremely flat, with occasional undulating soil, and the radius will never exceed a hundred feet in size. On the winding and open official road, more than ten thousand soldiers are like ants, puffing up their strength, letting go and moving forward.

In the group of soldiers, countless mules and horses and cows filled the crowd, and the soldiers shouted and scolded one after another. Even more impatient soldiers waved their whips, crackling in the air, constantly urging the cows and horses to speed up.

After the cattle and horse, there must be a shield car, a thunderbolt cannon car or a baggage car. At this time, the shield car had been unloaded and placed in the car's bucket. The soldiers' armor, weapons and other heavy objects were also placed in the shield car. This greatly reduced the load on the soldiers, so that the soldiers could run towards Nanyang City at a speed of 60 miles a day.

The cavalry sentry in the Cavalry Camp and the Chebu Battalion had already been cruising around in teams, carrying out armed reconnaissance, battlefield closure and other tasks. I saw the cavalry soldiers traveling back and forth between six or seven miles and sent the latest information to the central army.

Some cavalry even had blood on their bodies, and they had already fought with the enemy cavalry. It seemed that the task of blocking the battlefield was not easy.

The soldiers' pace was already large enough and the frequency was fast enough. However, the military and political officials were still not satisfied and kept shouting: "Hurry up... After passing the hills in front, I will rest for a quarter of an hour!"

A military and political officer couldn't help but take the lead in roaring military songs:

I put on iron armor and carried a long sword. The battle with my son is long.

I share the same enemy and share the same life and death. I fight with my son and my heart is not sluggish.

Stepping on the swallows and chasing the beard. Fighting with your son, singing fearlessly...

The bold singing immediately infected the soldiers, and the soldiers responded loudly. For a moment, the warriors were full of the ambitions and pride of the warriors, soaring into the sky.

The rhythm of the singing secretly matches the soldiers' pace. In the unified pace, the soldiers no longer feel tired, and endless power emerges all over their bodies...

Just when Lin Chunhong was infected by singing and his blood was boiling, he suddenly received a report: Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen led more than 10,000 cavalry soldiers to go south in advance and have arrived in Yangji!

Lu Shiming was shocked and fell down and sighed: "It's one step late! Yang Ji is only more than 60 miles away from Nanyang. In just one day, more than 10,000 enemy cavalry can come neglectedly! Gao Zhe's reaction is really fast!"

Lin Chunhong's face was as deep as water, but his heart was like a drumstick hitting, up and down.

Calm down! Be calm down! Lin Chunhong keeps warning himself.

"Get the map!" Lin Chunhong shouted loudly, almost scaring Ning Dian next to him. Ning Dian quickly took the map from the car and placed it in front of Lin Chunhong.

Above the map, there were all Gao Yingxiang's military distribution map. Lin Chunhong frowned and looked like fire, as if he wanted to roast the map.

Lu Shiming also approached, stared at Fangcheng's location, and kept thinking about solutions.

After a long time, Lin Chunhong's brows gradually stretched out and said to Lu Shiming: "The high bandit forces were scattered in Lushan, Fangcheng, and Nanzhao counties. The farthest distance was almost 100 miles. It would be impossible to gather them in three days!"

Lu Shiming followed Lin Chunhong for many years, but how could he not know Lin Chunhong's thoughts? He immediately said: "You fight yours, I fight mine, and you should take the initiative on the battlefield. To prevent Gao Yingxiang from gathering his troops, he can only send the cavalry camp!"

Lin Chunhong nodded and said, "That's right!"

After saying that, Lin Chunhong used a hard pen to draw two prominent red lines on the map, marking the march routes of Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen.

"More than 10,000 cavalrymen would not have scared the Hu Xiao Army and the Tianwu Army! What I am afraid of is that we were dragged by Liu Zhe and Wang Guangen, Gao Yingxiang's main cavalry arrived, and with more than 100,000 rioters helping us, we were in danger! This is the only way. Gao Yingxiang wants to hold us back, so let's hold him!"

Lu Shiming's heart was beating violently and said, "More than a thousand cavalrymen are probably not against Gao Yingxiang!"

Lin Chunhong said with a sarcastic voice and said resolutely: "This is the only way! The wonder of cavalry lies in coming and going like the wind, not in frontal striking. As long as Sheng Kunshan can mess up Gao Yingxiang's deployment, the purpose will be achieved."

Lu Shiming silently in his heart and said, "This is feasible! The enemy cavalry has more than 10,000, so what ability does it have to stop us from approaching Nanyang!"

...

Lin Chunhong and Lu Shiming had decided to discuss and immediately ordered the entire army to raise the level of essence and marching, and ordered Sheng Kunshan to gather troops within two hours and immediately go to Fangcheng to disrupt Gao Yingxiang.

"Commander Sheng must be careful and avoid Gao Yingxiang's large-scale cavalry, and specialize in disrupting the civilian army and small groups of cavalry. This time, don't take into account the losses of troops. How much will I make up for the losses?"

Speaking of this, Lin Chunhong sighed and said, "It's not easy to hold Gao Yingxiang's 100,000 troops for three days. Such a heavy task... Alas, our cavalry is still too small!"

Sheng Kunshan seemed to have not seen Lin Chunhong's face full of worry and seemed extremely excited. Since its establishment, the Cavalry Camp has never dared to use it with great strength because of its precious horses. Today, I finally hoped for a great opportunity to give it a try, and it was behind enemies everywhere, so no wonder he was so excited.

Sheng Kunshan knelt halfway and bowed, saying, "Don't worry about the military gate! When we see the strong, we will run away! When we see the weak, we may not say we should go up and bully him!"

Lin Chunhong waved his hand and said, "If the battle is unfavorable, preserving strength is the best! Let's go..."
