Chapter 174 The heroic cavalry guards defeated the Xiao bandits, and the standing army defended the enemy Tang Hexi! 【Third update】

Being slapped in the face by Wangshao, Xiao Yingxun couldn't help but cursed in anger.

"Er Gouzi, sooner or later I will pull out your tongue and stroke it!"

With that said, Xiao Yingxun climbed to a high place and looked to the west.

After a few words, even though he didn't have extraordinary eyesight, he could still see hundreds of horses rushing towards this direction.

He then turned around and said to his subordinates: "Maybe I just came here to take a look and tell the people below not to move!"

A big boss couldn't help but said: "Liao Gang is so big. If someone really comes, we will definitely be discovered. Where can we hide?"

"To shut up!"

Xiao Yingxun gave a rough scolding and continued to watch.

The mound in Liao Gang is indeed not big. There are more than 1000 people squatting on the back of the mound and it is almost full. The remaining people can only hide in the wasteland behind the mound.

If only a few or a dozen horses came, Xiao Yingxun was confident that he would stay with more than 100 horse bandits.

But there were hundreds of horses coming, so he could only hope that the other party would not come to check behind the mound.

As a result, what is afraid of.

Probably because there were plains all around and only this mound stood out, more than 100 riders came straight towards this place.

"Damn it! Get ready for war!"

After saying this, Xiao Yingxun went on horseback, preparing to lead more than 150 horse bandits under him to lure away the incoming cavalry.

Although this is suspected of being deceptive, if the other party wants to investigate Liao Gang, they will have to make another trip.

With such a delay, the fleet might have passed Jiaowan, and then they could go directly to Jiaowan to join the army and block the fleet's retreat!
After Xiao Yingxun showed up with the horse bandits, the Cavalry Guards who came did not approach Liao Gang again.

But he didn't leave either.

Instead, they fought with the horse bandits in the wilderness, and at the same time sent a few people to run west, obviously to shake people off.

Xiao Yingxun argued with Xiaoqiwei for a while, but found that he couldn't get any advantage at all, and couldn't help but cursed his mother in anger.

For a while, I felt like I was riding a tiger with a hard time getting off.

Soon, he no longer felt this way.

Because the Cavalry Guards were coming from the west one after another!

"Damn it, the bastard Liu Sheng sent all the cavalry here?! Come on, follow me back to Liao Gang!"

Xiao Yingxun cursed and led the horse bandits back to Liao Gang.

Shen Wandeng and Li Dingguo soon came over with a sentry cavalry each. When the [-] cavalrymen of the Xiaoqiu Guard gathered, they rushed to the east of Liao Gang.

Xiao Yingxun's bandits were nervously setting up temporary positions - they thought they were just hiding here for a while, but they didn't expect to fight the enemy here, so they didn't build any defenses.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Dingguo said: "Commander Shen, this is a great opportunity to defeat the enemy. Don't miss it!"

Shen Wandeng's vision was also good, and he also saw that now was a good opportunity to defeat the enemy.

He responded loudly: "Okay! Then you, me and Li Rongguang, each leading a hundred elite cavalry, will first disperse the bandits at the foot of the hill!"

Not all the Cavalry Guards are elite cavalry - they are all well-equipped, but there are only about [-] of them who are truly skilled in riding, cutting, and shooting.

Shen Wandeng knew Li Rongguang's abilities and knew that Li Rongguang and Liu Sheng had been "friends" for a long time, so he intended to bring Li Rongguang together to make meritorious deeds.

Immediately, the three of them each led a sentry cavalry guard and rushed directly into the panicked group of thieves.

Not only do these bandits have no defensive fortifications to rely on, they are also poorly equipped and have even worse organizational skills.

All of a sudden, he was randomly killed by the Cavalry Guards!

The bandits on the hill originally wanted to release arrows, but found that the Cavalry Guard rushed into their own crowd in the blink of an eye.

If they really shoot arrows, they will definitely kill more people on their own side than on the other side.

Because the Cavalry Guards all wore cloth armor, ordinary bows and arrows could cause minor injuries.On the contrary, their men, since most of them did not have armor, were likely to be seriously injured or killed by arrows.

Xiao Yingxun never expected that the situation would become so bad in a blink of an eye.

His eyes turned red with fear, and he led more than 100 horse bandits and rushed to intercept Li Dingguo, the most powerful looking cavalry guard at the post.

He shot an arrow first from twenty or thirty steps away, but was noticed by Li Dingguo and dodged.

Then Li Dingguo returned an arrow with his backhand, hitting Xiao Yingxun in the chest.

Although Xiao Yingxun wore two layers of armor (cloth armor + chain mail), he was still hit by the arrow and suffered severe pain in his chest, causing him to fall off his horse!

Although Li Dingguo did not know Xiao Yingxun, he guessed that this person was probably the leader of the bandit, so he wanted to try and shouted: "The bandit leader is dead!"

The other Cavalry Guards immediately followed and shouted: "The bandit leader is dead!"

The bandits were rushed into the crowd by hundreds of cavalry. They were already in chaos and almost fled in all directions.

At this time, when he heard that "the bandit leader is dead", he didn't care to distinguish the truth from the lies, so Sayazi fled in all directions.

Some people even ran and cried, "The boss is dead, run!"

Xiao Yingxun stood up under the cover of other horse bandits. Hearing these shouts, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted vaguely: "Damn it, I'm not dead!"

No one listened to him at all.

The bandits were completely defeated.

"Master, run!" a horse bandit companion suddenly shouted urgently.

Xiao Yingxun took a look and saw that it was Li Dingguo who was rushing towards him with the Cavalry Guards!

At this moment, Xiao Yingxun got scared, got on his horse and ran away.

Unfortunately, there were too many minions blocking the way in the chaos. Even if he chopped down several of them mercilessly, his horse speed could not be increased.The same goes for the horse bandits who followed him.

After a while, he was caught up by the Cavalry Guards and was knocked off his horse continuously!
Li Dingguo dismounted Xiao Yingxun with one shot and let the cavalry guards following him capture him alive. Then he shouted: "Surrender and avoid death!"

There were many bandits who could not run away, so they threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Now that they hear the slogan "surrender and avoid death", even more people are kneeling down and surrendering.

On the other side, Shen Wanteng and Li Rongguang each killed one or two bandit leaders. Seeing that Li Dingguo captured the bandit leader alive, they couldn't help but secretly sigh "good luck".

This is indeed luck - who made Xiao Yingxun go to Li Dingguo instead of Shen Wandeng?

However, within a quarter of an hour before and after this battle, 2000 Cavalry Guards defeated more than [-] bandits!

As the commander of the first battalion of the Cavalry Guards, Shen Wandeng has made great contributions!
Seeing that no one was resisting except those who escaped, Shen Wanteng ordered the prisoners to be tied up and the battlefield to be cleaned.

As a result, not long after, a horse came galloping from the west - not a cavalry guard, but a guard of the standing army and a messenger.

"Report—" the guard shouted urgently. When he got in front of Shen Wandeng, he hurriedly reined in his horse and said anxiously: "Commander Shen, the officers and soldiers are storming the middle of the fleet. The commander of the Helian Regiment asked the Cavalry Guards to rush forward to support!"

"What?!" Shen Wandeng was shocked when he heard this, "Didn't he say that the army was going to block the tail of the fleet and swallow up the entire fleet? Why did they go to attack the middle section?"

Li Dingguo rode over and said with a frown: "It's probably because the officers and soldiers learned about Longtan Crossing and changed their plans."

Shen Wandeng said: "There are only two battalions in the middle section. I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand the army for long. We don't have time to clean the battlefield. We must return reinforcements quickly!"

Li Dingguo nodded, "Just take Xiao Yingxun and a few big bandit leaders away. Don't worry about the other bandits."

In just a moment, Li Dingguo had already asked Xiao Yingxun's identity.

Immediately, the two of them left only a few dozen riders behind, escorting Xiao Yingxun and several other big bandit leaders behind them.

They took the dozens of horses they had just captured and the remaining more than 700 knights, and rushed west...
Guowan.

Two battalions of standing troops led by Huang Gan were fighting fiercely with the Ming army on a low hill by the river!
Although in order to implement Li Dingguo's plan, all the cavalry guards used to detect horses were withdrawn.

But the standing army itself also has scouts, with 30 men in each battalion, directly led by the battalion commander.

However, not many of the standing army scouts are good at riding and shooting, and most of them can only ride horses.

There are plains on both sides of the Tang River. As soon as the officers and soldiers appeared, the scouts found them five miles away.

After Huang Gan learned about the enemy's situation, he first ordered all the civilians to go to the east bank to take refuge. He assembled two battalions of standing troops as quickly as possible.

He did not choose to stick to the boat - it was simply not feasible when his own forces were obviously at a disadvantage.

These boats were too small and carried a lot of grain and grass. Not only could they not provide defensive support, but they would divide the standing army among more than 100 boats, making it impossible to form a military formation to exert the power of squatting cannons and matchlock guns.

With the enemy's numerical advantage, it is easy to capture every boat.

Therefore, after gathering two battalions of standing troops, he built a defensive position on a mound on the west bank of the Tang River.

Although Huang Gan did not fight many battles, he learned many lessons.

As early as after the capture of Queshan County and the establishment of the standing army camp, Liu Sheng used some of his spare time to organize generals to discuss the battles they had experienced, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and ourselves, summarize experience and lessons, and asked military and political officials to compile a Combat cases are reserved as teaching materials.

Later, even if the battalions were separated, this habit was still retained.

Therefore, Huang Gan knew very well that his most important task at this time was to prevent these two battalions of standing troops from being defeated or even wiped out by the enemy.

Only if they stay here, hold on, and hold on until reinforcements arrive can they have a chance to win.

As for the food and fodder on the ship - the enemy cannot free their hands and feet to loot the food and fodder until they are eliminated.

Even if it is taken away, it will only be a small part.

On the other hand, if his two battalions are wiped out by the enemy, and eventually the other battalions of the rebel army are wiped out by the enemy one by one, the entire fleet will fall into the hands of the enemy and be completely destroyed!
···
Although Liu Guangzuo is not well-known among the many commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming army, he is also a veteran general.

He was born as a general in Yulin. In the early years of Chongzhen, he continued to make meritorious deeds by encircling and suppressing the peasant army, and rose to the position of chief military officer in Baoding!

As a result, he was unlucky enough to encounter slaves who had become slaves and invaded.

The situation outside the city was too complicated at that time, so he stabilized his hand and watched the slaves crossing the river near Baoding carrying the looted money, food, people and animals.

If you judge the crime after the fact, you should be executed!

He used the money he had accumulated in more than ten years, managed everything, and added some connections, and he actually got the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Later, he made one or two meritorious deeds in the battle to encircle and suppress the peasant army, and then he was given the job of deputy commander-in-chief of Nanyang Guard.

At this time, he led more than [-] battalions, [-] cavalry, and [-] rural soldiers, and approached the Tang River in a hurry.

Seeing Huang Gan gathering his troops in a defensive position on a mound, Liu Guangzuo couldn't help but point his riding whip at the mound and laughed at the generals and servants on his left and right: "Haha, the thieves are really stupid. They actually want to rely on this small mound to resist!"

Liang Fei also started laughing.

"The bandit army only has 200 to [-] people. This time, I can defeat them with my cavalry without the headquarters taking action."

"Then what are Liang Guerrilla waiting for? Before they can build a defensive position, quickly defeat them!

Xiao Yingxun can't count on those bandits this time, but if we grasp the rhythm well, we may not be able to defeat the bandit army, all based on the money and food of these more than 2000 ships! "

When all the generals and servants of the Ming Army heard this, their eyes flashed green - more than 2000 ships of money and food!
They are about to develop!

Liu Guangzuo smiled and said loudly: "Tell the boys! If you win this battle, everyone will be rewarded with at least ten taels of silver! Each thief's head will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver! If you kill the thief general, you will be rewarded with at least a hundred taels of silver!!"

All the generals and servants immediately responded with red eyes: "We will try our best to kill the enemy!"

Immediately, Liang Fei couldn't help but lead five hundred cavalry to rush towards the mound where the Yibu rebels gathered!
