Horse on the World

Chapter 947 Andy the warrior guards the Quartet ([-])

Just as Yuan Fang expected, after Wanli advanced for a day, the army behind him sent an urgent report. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen from Dingzhou were chasing them less than a hundred miles away. Still amazed, the speed of the Dingzhou army is too astonishing, I thought it took almost a whole day to pull down the opponent, but the opponent reacted so quickly and caught up.

More than [-] cavalry, that is to say, Guo Shanfeng almost sent out two cavalry battalions in his hands.

"Send an order to go back and tell General Tong that even if the remaining troops die, I have to stop them and buy enough time for the main force to go to the manger."

Watching the messenger gallop away, the wrinkles on Wanli's face deepened a few times. After being ambushed by the mountain wind in Shanyang, the morale of his troops was almost knocked down by [-]%. How long can the rear army block the opponent? It is a questionable thing.

In fact, the cavalry sent by Guo Shanfeng only had more than [-] cavalry, but with one man and three horses, the entire cavalry team reached nearly [-] horses, and they galloped at the same time. Human cavalry.However, Wanli's sentinel dared to go closer to investigate, but saw the huge smoke column rising from the opponent's horse team from a distance, so he hurriedly rode back.

There are nearly 3 people under Wanli's command, who spread their feet frantically and rushed to the manger.The entire army dragged out a formation as long as tens of miles, and basically lost its formation, but Wan Li couldn't care about these things at this time, and could only keep urging the troops to go faster, and faster.

At this time, Wan Li, who was eager to get rid of the pursuers behind him, did not know that there was another army rushing into the manger on the border of Ning Bo, and the distance from the manger to the manger was closer than Wan Li.
This army was ordered to go to Qingzhou to join Guoshan Feng to help Qinzhou with Fengli Division Guo Quan.Just after entering Qingzhou, Guo Quan received Tian Feng's order to divert the entire army, rushing into the manger, blocking the possible retreat of Qiu Zhi's troops.

After taking down the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Ma Lanhua immediately handed over the control of the Qiang people. For the time being, Meng Junjian and Ma Zhen managed it together, while she herself kept things light and simple. Kaiyuan and her son Qin Ping went to Dingzhou to settle down. This is also the certificate she gave to Dingzhou. If not, Qin Kaiyuan and Qin Ping would not be able to survive. This action also made Li Qing quite appreciative. On the way Malanhua went to Dingzhou, Li Qing ordered Ma Lanhua to be the wife of Yiguo in the name of Emperor Zhou, and Qin Kaiyuan to be Marquis of Dayi, and built a large-scale palace for them in Dingzhou. The Houfu, which is not small, can be regarded as a reward for Malanhua's handing over the control of the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Qiang people. Without Malanhua's support, neither Meng Junjian nor Ma Zhen could successfully subdue other tribes in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. , This cleared the way for Dingzhou to reform the land and return the Qiang people who had not been tamed for thousands of years after leveling the Central Plains.

As soon as the matter of the [-] Mountains was over, tens of thousands of troops from Fengli Division rushed to Qingzhou, while Meng Junjian and Ma Zhen, under the leadership of Tian Feng, led [-] Qiang soldiers into Bozhou.

Qiu Zhi's line of defense in Bazhou was suddenly in jeopardy. The loss of Qingtan made Qiu Zhi lose the meaning of sticking to Bazhou. Within ten days, Qiu Zhi's troops began to retreat on a large scale, and assembled towards Bazhou City, preparing to abandon Bozhou. State, back to Xingzhou.

Tian Feng and Lu Dalin's troops joined forces, deployed to pursue Qiu Zhi's army, and at the same time sent a letter to Deng Peng, the navy, requesting the navy to enter the Lai River quickly and cut off Qiu Zhi's retreat along the Lai River.On the other side, they urgently ordered Fengli's division to go to the manger, cut off another retreat route for Qiu Zhi, and must block Qiu Zhi's troops in Bozhou and wipe them out, clearing the way for a large-scale attack on the Central Plains in the next spring.
On Qingtan, a thousand-material warship floats on the water, a long iron chain at the stern is stretched extremely tightly, the sailors on the ship step on the impeller, and a group of trackers on the shore shouts neatly, the ropes stretch out from their shoulders. Deep marks, as their big feet stepped out on the beach step by step, the iron pillars deeply planted in the water were pulled up one by one.

Not far away, dense groups of people are desperately clearing the river. Standing on the Qingtan Fortress, you can see hundreds of warships gathered on the water in the distance. , Then immediately set sail.

Deng Peng, Zhuang Youbao and other senior navy generals have already arrived at Qingtan Fortress.
"Qiu Zhi has already begun to retreat, one step is led by Lieutenant General Tan Huaibing, and the other is led by Qiu Zhi. It seems that Qiu Zhi doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket. What we want to block is the troops led by Qiu Zhi." Everyone, they are already a day ahead of us, but as long as the river is opened, this little distance is not a problem for us, we can reach Xun City ahead of Qiu Zhi and block Qiu Zhi."

He raised his head and glanced at Zheng Zhiqiang, "The Marine Corps suffered heavy casualties, can we still support it?"

Zheng Zhiqiang nodded, "In the Battle of Qingtan, we suffered more than [-] casualties, and there are still [-] troops capable of fighting. Even if Qiu Zhi's troops are divided, they will not be less than [-]. It is indeed very difficult."
Deng Peng nodded. "I know this, so I will send you [-] sailors from the navy fleet. In addition, I will dismantle all the Shenwei cannons on the Qiyuan and ship them to Xuncheng, and distribute them to you. How about that? "
Zheng Zhiqiang suddenly became excited. During the attack on Qingtan, he had already experienced the power of the Shenwei cannon, and it was beyond human power to stop him. "Give it all to me?"
Deng Peng smiled and said, "It's not for you, but for your use temporarily. How about two hundred Shenwei cannons?"
Zheng Zhiqiang suddenly jumped up: "Two hundred doors? Oh my god?"
There were bursts of loud cheers from the river, and the last iron pillar was pulled out. The black iron pillar lay quietly on the beach, and on the river, the first battleship slowly entered the river, unimpeded. After passing the Green Beach Fortress, the first ship passed safely, and the ships in the distance immediately set sail, connected end to end, one after another, hundreds of warships with thousands of materials sailed in one by one, leaning towards the shore, and they were already waiting in the sea. The Marine Corps on the shore quickly boarded the ship.
Under the impact of Li Feng and Buyangu's [-] cavalry, Tong Feng's five thousand rear army of Wanli's rear army lasted for a meal before being disbanded. Li Feng and Buyangu had nothing to do with the fleeing troops all over the mountains and plains. Any interest to pursue, their goal is Wanli.Tong Feng, who had fled for dozens of miles on horseback, realized that there was no pursuer behind him, he sighed, and said to the hundreds of soldiers following Shang Zi: "Da Chu is over, and there is no need for us to go back. Everyone go their own way. Escape for your life. Get rid of the army, throw away your weapons, and go home to farm."

He took off his battle armor first, threw away the weapon, led the horse, and walked towards the distance with a lonely expression. The more than a hundred soldiers behind him looked at me and I looked at you, and finally they all joined hands and took off their clothes The military uniform threw away the weapons in their hands, and scattered in all directions with bare hands.
Fifty miles away from the manger, Wanli's army collided head-on with Wang Zhen's troops, the forward of the Fengli Division. Unprepared, the two sides immediately threw themselves into battle. Formation, Fengli Division's rigorous formation obviously had a great advantage. Not long after the battle started, Wanli's troops were cut off from the middle, and the two sides fought separately.

The battle that broke out here was like a fat bait, constantly attracting Fengli's troops. Ji Tong arrived an hour later, and then Liang Yi and Zhou Shuwen arrived. In the evening, Guo Quan's central army Also rushed to the manger.Although Wanli kept attacking the manger, as the Dingzhou Army's Fengli Division had more and more horses, Wanli's chances of occupying the manger were getting smaller and smaller.

At the moment when the sun was setting, the sound of hoofs and hooves behind him made Wanli completely desperate. The military flag fluttering in the distance showed that it was the cavalry under Guo Shanfeng's command. mission.

At nightfall, Fengli Division and Li Feng Buyangu's troops completed the encirclement of Wanli's remnants. At midnight, Wanli led the remnants to surrender, and the manger was under the control of Dingzhou Army.

Three days later, when Qin Huaibing led an army of about [-] horses to Xiamanger, what he saw was a heavily guarded Dingzhou army that had been waiting for a long time.

Xuncheng is a small county, but it is the key point from Yibozhou to Xingzhou. The first cannon siege battle on this continent was launched in this little-known town.

When two hundred cannons roared at the same time, and a large section of the city wall collapsed like paper, the nerves of both the residents and the soldiers defending the city collapsed at that moment. Zheng Zhiqiang didn't even dispatch a single soldier. For the strong attack on Xuncheng, a white flag was flying above Xuncheng, the guard of Xuncheng, the magistrate of Xuncheng led the whole city to surrender.
Two days later, Qiu Zhi arrived in Xuncheng, and he was greeted by [-] Dingzhou soldiers and six rows of Shenwei cannons with black muzzles.
There was no retreat, behind Qiu Zhi was the Lu Dabing, Tian Feng Group and tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers, if they could not open the passage, the whole army would be wiped out.With the sound of drums under the banner of Qiu Zhizhong's army, the first wave of vanguard attacking troops of more than [-] people launched a strong attack on Zheng Zhiqiang's troops.
Li Qing compiled and trained the new army. He is famous for his strict military discipline and bravery to the death. The training method was adopted by all the generals on the mainland in the next few years, and Qiu Zhi was no exception. Five thousand soldiers, Every 500 people form a phalanx, holding spears, holding iron shields, shouting neatly, and taking uniform steps, charging towards the seemingly thin formation ahead.
But what they faced was no longer the traditional hand-to-hand combat, but a series of Shenwei cannons. The army was still three miles away, and the first row of Shenwei cannons began to sound.
The rumbling sound resounded across the battlefield, and the Bazhou soldiers saw in horror that the forward camp that launched the attack first did not even shoot a feathered arrow, and did not even touch the edge of the opponent's battle formation, so they were already defeated. The orderly queue was in disarray in an instant, large sections of blank space appeared in the army formation, the remaining soldiers howled in horror, and ran wildly on the battlefield in a panic, flying in the air were countless remnants Arm amputation. ——
