Chapter 243: Training with Battle (Part 2)

Originally, the Huai Army cavalry fought against the court army on the front line, which was a great opportunity to make achievements. With the words of Huai Xiang to suppress the bandits, they would follow Hua Ji'an, the commander of the Northern Army, from Xuzhou, riding a horse and boat to the right of Jiangyou to blow the cold wind. The horses passed the river without stopping, and encountered even rainy days. They were exhausted and now they could not even enter the city. These commissars were immediately annoyed.

"You guys wait!"

The messenger didn't care whether it was autonomy or not. Now they were more concerned about whether they could go into the city to get this arrogant boy. Speaking to the vanguard general Mai Heyi behind, Mai He was stunned and said, "There is an autonomous county town in Jiangyou?"

There was a guide who was familiar with the road and roughly explained to Mai He, saying that Sun Yi, the county magistrate of Mao County, was a local emperor. Mai He also understood this statement. There were many examples like Sun Yi from county magistrates to county magistrates in Huai. The King of Huai used similar methods to win over local officials to win over the appointment of local officials in the court.

The fact is one thing, openly claiming "autonomousness". Does Sun Yi want to live?

"General, now Maoxian cannot enter. Should we inform General Hua or should we take over the city?"

In the battle of Xuzhou, the cavalry rarely had the chance to perform. At most, they just rode their horses forward and shot two rounds of arrows. Now that they came to Maoxian, a mere Maoxian county magistrate dared to show their faces. How could they anger these soldiers who suffered but had no military achievements?

"I don't think it's Sun Yi's intention to welcome us into the city. I'll verify it first!"

Mai He, who had already despised the King Jing soldiers who had been away from the battle formation for a long time, forgot that the bandits might still be in the city. A dignified Huai Army vanguard general personally went to the city to open the city gate. Mai He was still very experienced, about three hundred steps away from the city wall, so even a powerful crossbow could not hurt him at all.

"You Mao County has not received the official letter from King Huai? Ask you, County Magistrate Sun to come out, and I have something to ask him!"

The young man on the city tower looked stern: "Who are you? What a big tone."

Mai He raised his proud head and said, "This general is Mai He, the righteous general, granted by the Emperor,..."

"Bang!"

A sudden explosion sounded from the city tower. As soon as Maihe finished speaking, the man had already fallen from his head in response. Blood was flowing in his chest until he closed his eyes and couldn't figure out how he died.

"Hey!" The arrogant voice of the young man on the city tower came again, "That general, you are just like this. I thought you could not kill him with three heads and six arms!"

Now the Huai Army cavalry, who was originally waiting and watching, was completely angered. The general was killed under his nose and died in an unknown way. Now the people on the city tower are still provoking. How could these men who are passionate, bear such insults?

"Siege the city! Avenge General Mai!"

When someone yelled, the soldiers and generals twisted their hearts together, raised their spears or rode their horses, and prepared to level the small county town in one fell swoop.

As the saying goes, the sad soldiers will win, which is relatively common. The situation today is a little different. Originally, this is a group of cavalry, without siege and supplies, and they are not a monkey who can climb walls. The only ability to climb walls is only those like Huo Bing who once stole dogs. Therefore, the one-sided regular army that fought the local garrison army, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a bandit slaughtered dogs.

"A ball is ready, three, two, one is released!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"The second group is ready. Three, two, one is released!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Three groups and the first group are preparing at the same time..."

Originally, Huo Bing wanted to attack this vanguard army with Lian Hu, but now he saved it. More than 100 people from a "bandit brigade" on his city tower had almost solved the problem.

The Huai Army cavalry started to charge very fiercely, and they bent their bows and arched their archers to shoot these hateful defenders on the city tower into sieves. Unexpectedly, these soldiers were more cunning than those old men in Xuzhou City. They held guns and didn't show their heads. They only got up and shot when they heard the order "Release!", and their heads were surprisingly high. The Huai Army cavalry was in a mess and fell from horseback.

After all, the cavalry of the Huai Army have also been on the battlefield to fight bravely and have extremely rich experience. Seeing that one of their side was at a disadvantage, they wanted to teach the defenders on the city wall a lesson. At the risk of being shot by a gun, the cavalry set their bows to aim at the battlements, and just waited to hear "Let it go!" and then shot arrows on the city wall. Who knew that even though they heard the command, the arrows were shot out, but the attack speed of the weapon was really impossible to compare with others, and the arrows were still in the air. The guns had already come over and the people had fallen off the horse. When they had already hid behind the battlements, their arrows were slowly shooting.

This is the first time these soldiers and generals have noticed how deadly the disadvantages of weapons are on the battlefield.

The Huai Army cavalry changed its strategy again. When they were waiting for them to count three, two, one, they used a bow and archery. The weapons were behind and they could take the lead and reverse their disadvantages. But this time they were smarter. If they didn't show their heads, they would reveal a gun. "Bang!" and shoot a shot, regardless of whether it hits or not. Anyway, there are cavalry of the Huai Army everywhere under the city tower, so there will always be unlucky guys.

Only half an hour later, the Huai Army suffered heavy casualties. The original desire to avenge General Mai was exhausted, and the mentality of not fearing death gradually dissipated. The huge fear ridged the heart, and each of them ran away faster than rushing up.

"Didn't the cowards say you want to take revenge? Come back!" Behind the young man shouted again on the city tower.

The cavalry didn't care about any dignity at this time, and they were fools who went up to be targets to attack people! The soldiers only realized something was wrong after half of the escape. It turned out that a team of black and green cavalry surrounded from the flank, "Bang bang bang!" Another round of shooting, and the cavalry didn't care about resisting. They escaped first. Waiting for the scattered cavalry to escape in all directions, Lian Husheng took off his mask in surprise and looked at the back of the escaped cavalry, muttering: "I haven't fought yet, why did you escape?"

He was still waiting here for an ambush and caught the enemy off guard. Now it seems that the Huai Army is indeed caught off guard, but they are all running like nothing, and they can't catch up even if they want to.

"Captain Lian, hurry back to the city." A deputy officer reminded behind him, "The central army of the Huai Army cavalry is only 10 or 20 miles away from here. We are exposed, and they will come as soon as they say they come!"

Lian Husheng nodded and immediately ordered the entire army to return to the city.

An uncontroversial victory was like yesterday's siege. There was no suspense. Many people in the city and the garrison troops who were disarmed also saw it clearly. The elite cavalry of the Huai Army fought in this battle had no power to resist. The Huai Army left behind corpses and various unowned horses outside the city, and were also led into the city by the bandit leader.

Now, in the minds of the people, these bandits are like gods. The most horrifying myths in the world are just like this. Heavenly soldiers and generals are more capable than these bandits. When all the bandits return to the city, many people began to think about how to join the mountain.

But it seemed that Commander Huo was very dissatisfied with his subordinates' performance, because there were a few people who accidentally got injured by the hawk. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious, and it was fine if they bandaged them for a while. Only one of them was shot on the shoulder and might have to rest for a few days.

"I have told you so many times that I have to follow the orders. This time I will fire three times, and next time it will be two. How do you remember it?"

The soldier with injured shoulder fell behind the person because he failed to keep up with the rhythm. This was not a big deal. One hundred bandits wiped out a thousand elite cavalry and only paid the price of one soldier being slightly injured. What else can he ask for? But Commander Huo was nagging in front of the injured soldier. He always said whatever the commander said, just like the commander said a creed.

The people were so shocked. Commander Huo was already a super pervert. Commander was still obscene. I guess what I told Commander Huo was that Commander Huo was a monster with three heads and six arms!

"I'll be slower next time, I'll kill you with one shot!" Huo Bing threatened viciously at last.

"Don't worry, I will definitely think about it next time and don't hold back."

They are all ordinary villagers who were recruited by Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu. Many of them had just learned how to ride horses a month ago. In just one month, they had grown into elite soldiers and generals in the army. This is related to the actual combat training day after day over the past month.

Liu Yu also wanted to calm down and train this miscellaneous army for a year and a half before sending them to the battlefield. However, due to the situation, he could only teach these new recruits simple skills in a hasty way, and then dragged the miscellaneous army composed of the Imperial Guard and the New Army to go south. Liu Yu's purpose was also very simple, which was to block the logistics supply line of the Huai Army and train troops through actual combat.

Before dusk in the afternoon, the central army of the Huai Army's cavalry was less than five miles away from the city. Because they had received the exact news that the troops garrisoned in the city were not in a hurry to attack the city or launch retaliation. They just stationed on the spot, on the one hand, preventing the attack on the camp, and on the other hand, they released the battle report to the north as soon as possible.

Hua Ji'an has felt from today's battle that this is definitely not an ordinary bandit, and what King Jing said is indeed not groundless. With the strength of his current 4,000 cavalrymen, he may not be at a disadvantage in the fight against this bandit in the wild, but it is too difficult to conquer Maoxian.

"General, I'll send a letter from the villagers in the city, saying it was for you." A guard came to report.

“Checked?”

"After checking, the villager was originally a bully in Mao County. He was detained and asked the locals. There was no problem. In addition, the envelopes and letters were all ordinary, and there was no suspicion."

Hua Ji'an opened the envelope and said that the piece of paper inside was not very neat because it had been unpacked. The words on it were even more ugly and ugly, just like someone who had just learned to write. He asked himself that he wrote with his feet and pen with his pen to look better than this one.

"Son of Turtle, if you don't surrender obediently, I will kill you!"
