Chapter 979 Iron Plate
However, the Buddha's mother chased after a few steps, and saw a big river in front of her eyes. There was only a stone bridge on the river, and the army was swarming across the bridge to cross the river.

The scene was chaotic, where could the Buddhist mother find Liu Xin?

When the mother of Buddha also crossed the Xiaoqing River in front of her, the eight thousand troops had basically finished crossing the river.The Buddha Mother anxiously asked people to look for Liu Xin, but when she finally found him, she found that he had reined in the horse and was looking ahead in horror!

The Buddhist mother followed Liu Xin's gaze and looked forward. At this time, the dawn had come, the sky was bright, and the distant scenery became clear-she saw in horror that countless enemy troops had already turned their backs to the city, quietly Line up on the plain one mile away, as far as the eye can see, from east to west, there are densely packed elite cavalry with neatly dressed, swords and bows in hand, at least [-]!
In the center of the enemy's formation, a two-foot-tall flag fluttered in the morning wind, with a large Chinese character written on it!Under the flag, the general in golden armor, holding a long spear and a huge black horse under his crotch, is it not the King of Han? !
At this moment, His Highness the King of Han and his [-] cavalrymen all looked indifferent, staring at the tired, chaotic, and frightened Qingzhou Army, as if they were looking at a dead person.

"It's over..." Liu Xin was cold from head to toe, and his teeth were trembling uncontrollably, "Sure enough, he was right by the military commander's words, he is luring the enemy to go deep!" Eight thousand tired infantry, how can they be the opponent of ten thousand cavalry waiting for work? ?Liu Xin's intestines are green with regret, but unfortunately there is no medicine for regret in the world, he smiled sadly at the Buddha mother beside him and said: "Buddha mother, I just shouldn't be self-righteous..."

The Buddha's mother was also extremely shocked, with a feeling of remorse in her heart, secretly thinking that if she hadn't subconsciously opposed Wang Xian, she probably wouldn't have put the soldiers into such a dangerous situation!

"Boss, let's fight with them!" The generals shouted: "His grandma's life is on the verge of death, kill these bastards!"

"Shut up the fuck!" After all, Liu Xin has been on the battlefield for a long time. He knows that if this battle is fought recklessly, there will only be one result, and that is to hit the stone with an egg!Liu Xin forced himself to calm down, gritted his teeth, and said, "After I lead 1000 men and horses, you will quickly escort the Buddhist mother back to the south bank of the river!"

"Boss!" The generals shouted excitedly wherever they were willing to give way: "How can this be done! Let me..."

"Shut up!" Liu Xin interrupted everyone violently, he pulled out his knife, and said sharply: "Whoever dares to talk nonsense again, I will chop off his dog's head!" Waiting for the general to silence, he then ordered: "After crossing the river, you will demolish the bridge for Lao Tzu! Then hurry to Gao Qing to join the military adviser!"

"Ah! How can that be done? Boss, what are you going to do?!" The generals still couldn't help shouting.

"I'll call you nonsense!" Liu Xin slashed a general's helmet in half with a slash, and said through gritted teeth, "You can't pretend to be those ten thousand cavalry?!" He already had the determination to die.Roared: "Hurry up and get out!"

"Boss..." The generals' eyes were red, and they began to cry.

"Get out!" Liu Xin glanced at the cavalry of the King of Han on the opposite side. In the morning light, their armor was bright and their swords and guns were shining!Liu Xin violently swung his knife violently: "Get lost!"

Seeing this, all the generals had no choice but to kowtow to Liu Xin, and then left with tears, preparing to organize their subordinates to cross the river one by one.

However, the Buddhist mother still refused to cross the river by Liu Xin's side.

"Buddhist mother, why are you dawdling!" Liu Xin said, suppressing his violent temper.

"I won't leave." Buddha's mother said in an unquestionable tone: "I will not stop General Liu, and General Liu should not try to stop me."

"No!" Liu Xin shook his head vigorously and said, "The Buddha's mother is in the overall situation, and there is no room for loss!"

"If I leave the soldiers and soldiers alone, who else will believe in me?" The Buddha's mother said lightly: "General Liu, don't talk too much, hurry up and line up." After speaking, she lowered her voice and said: "Not to mention my skill, It's not that General Liu doesn't know that if he wants to leave, no one will be able to keep me."

"Hey!" Liu Xin is too aware of the temper of the Buddha mother, knowing that it is useless to say anything, he turned his head depressed, and led his 1000 soldiers and horses to line up in front of the Han King's army. These [-] people knew what was waiting for them. , but seeing Liu Xin slashing across the sword, standing among them, and the Buddha Mother standing quietly behind them, the fear in the hearts of the soldiers was greatly reduced, and instead they gave birth to some sadness and sadness!
Behind the thousand soldiers, 7000 Qingzhou troops were crossing the river in an orderly manner... No one spoke, no one fought, and [-] people crossed the river silently under the leadership of the general.

In the distance, the King of Han's army remained motionless, just like this in the dazzling morning light, looking at the Qingzhou army who retreated without a fight with sarcasm!

.

Seeing that the King of Han's army refused to attack for a long time, Liu Xinxin had an ominous feeling in his head. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the south bank of the river. Immediately, blood welled up and he almost fell off his horse!
In the jungle on the south bank of the river, one, two, and countless battle flags suddenly appeared, followed by countless infantry, fully armed, came out of the forest, and rushed towards the Qingzhou army who had just crossed the river halfway!

In a blink of an eye, the enemy troops who had been ambushing for a long time came out from three sides on the south bank of the river, and surrounded the panic-stricken Qingzhou army, screaming for killing!

"Hold me quickly!" The general who had already crossed the river shouted hoarsely: "We can't let them disperse us!"

"Aw!" The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army hurriedly raised their weapons, lined up in a hurry, and looked nervously at the enemies coming from three sides. There were too many enemies!In the eyes of the generals of the Qingzhou Army, it was overwhelming!
However, the general was a monk after all. He was a salt dealer who sold private salt a year ago. Under tension, he forgot to ask his subordinates to leave enough space for the troops crossing the river behind him!The result of letting them line up in place is that the follow-up troops are blocked on the bridge, basically unable to move forward!

But even if he thought of it, it might not be of much use!Because the offensive of the King of Han's army was so fierce, more than 1 infantrymen rushed forward frantically from three sides. As soon as they came into contact, the Qingzhou army killed and suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was compressed to the extreme!
"Retreat!" Seeing that they could not move forward, the generals on the bridge gave the order to retreat to the north bank as a matter of course. They can't just pile up on the bridge all the time!
.

Seeing that the Qingzhou army had been beaten into a mess by Bandu, the King of Han waved his hand, and the elite cavalry, who could not hold back for a long time, immediately rushed out of the gate like a tiger, and rushed towards Liu Xin's thousand infantry!

Liu Xin looked at the enemy soldiers behind him, and then at the cavalry rushing in front of him, his heart sank to the bottom, he finally understood how far he was from the real general!That would be like a cloud of mud!When someone uses a little bit of tricks, he bites the hook foolishly. Before the battle is fought, he has already fallen into a situation where he must lose!
If not for the Buddha Mother to protect and the lives of so many brothers to be preserved, Liu Xin really wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide, so don't let this embarrassment continue!

"General Liu, think of a way!" The Buddhist mother also found that the whole army was in danger of being wiped out, and looked at Liu Xin anxiously.

"Break out!" Liu Xin was determined, his eyes were red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Go west along the Xiaoqing River, and you will be Gao Qing!" After he finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers around him: "Let the brothers who have not crossed the river go west along the river beach, This is the only way to escape the cavalry!"

"Yes!" The guards rushed to deliver orders, and those subordinates who were waiting to cross the river turned to the west and retreated along the river beach as fast as they could.

Watching his subordinates turn to the west, Liu Xin took a last look at the other side of the river. Those brothers who were besieged by ten times the enemy and still fighting to the death, he knew that these people had no chance of surviving!

"Brothers, it's our turn!" Liu Xin turned around and said to the thousand soldiers beside him: "Hold the enemy, fight to the death and never retreat!"

"Fight to the death and never retreat!" A thousand soldiers roared in a low voice, raised their spears, and stared fearlessly at the enemy cavalry rushing forward!
However, those enemy cavalry did not intend to fight hand-to-hand. When they rushed within thirty feet, they drew their bows and arrows and shot at the Qingzhou Army!Their arrow skills are excellent, and almost every arrow is shot in vain!The soldiers of the Qingzhou Army only held long spears to resist the cavalry's impact, and almost had no shields. They all screamed and fell to the ground with arrows!

In one round of shooting, more than 100 soldiers died in battle, and countless people were injured by the arrow... But as long as they can still stand, the soldiers still grit their teeth and stand in front of the enemy cavalry, fighting for as much as possible for the comrades behind them. time!
After shooting the arrows, the enemy cavalry turned to the two wings of the Qingzhou Army, outflanked them from the side, and gave up the front to the cavalry behind them—those cavalry had already bent their bows and set their arrows, and it was another round of terrifying shooting!

This time, even Liu Xin was not spared, his war horse was hit by an arrow in the face, the horse stood up in pain, knocked Liu Xin to the ground, and fainted instantly!

Before fainting, four words popped out of Liu Xin's mind - 'Mongolian cavalry'!
Liu Xin could see clearly that those enemy cavalry were simply Mongols who had been given left-handed boots, scimitars and long bows!It's just that he couldn't figure out why there were so many Mongolian cavalry in the King of Han's army? !So many Mongolian cavalry have arrived in Shandong, why is there no news about the White Lotus Sect, even the military division? !
Seeing those Mongolian cavalry ravaging the Qingzhou army with ease, Hanwang showed a cruel smile on his face, this is his secret weapon!His father started his army at the beginning with the Mongolian iron cavalry he borrowed from King Ning. Now that it was his turn, how could he not follow his father's lead and use those Mongolians who took money to do things? !

Before Han Wang was dispatched to Shandong, he had a close relationship with Duoyan Sanwei in Liaodong. After he arrived in Shandong, he even spent a lot of money to bribe the leaders of Duoyan Sanwei and borrowed [-] cavalry from them!In this way, adding the five thousand cavalry in the hands of the King of Han himself, there are a total of ten thousand most elite cavalry!
The King of Han knew very well that with just [-] cavalry, it would be no problem to destroy Shandong. In the future, once the father's mausoleum collapses, these [-] cavalry will march straight in, and within two days they will be able to come to the capital and help him win the crown of the Ming Dynasty!No one in the world can stop it!

As for how this cavalry escaped the eyes and ears of the imperial court and came to Shandong from outside the pass, it was because there was a sea route. They boarded the ship from Liaodong, crossed the Bohai Bay, and disembarked at Lijin County.
