Brocade legend

Chapter 52
Lu Bing led Zhu Liu, Shitou, Yang Sen and more than 50 guards in Jinyi. Under the leadership of Sun Quan and his wife, they rushed to a small mountain village in northern Shaanxi, where they met Huang Feier, a famous thief Huang Feier who was famous in the world 20 years ago. From Huang Duxian, he got important clues about the underground horse market. However, these clues did not make Lu Bing happy, but made Lu Bing more sad.

These clues show that the underground horse market is actually related to dozens of forces, large and small, ranging from the bandit caravan to the Dongchang White Lotus Sect.Some of these forces are even natural enemies, such as the White Lotus Sect and the imperial court, the Dongchang and the Civil Service Group, etc. These forces originally had irreconcilable conflicts, but in a small horse market in the border, they got A perfect fusion - cooperate with each other, cooperate with each other, and cover each other!
Lu Bing even suspected that in recent years, the little prince has always used the opening of the horse market as an excuse to carry out military operations such as disturbing the border and invading, just to cover up this underground horse market!

That is to say, except for the emperor, the entire Ming Dynasty, with some influence, knew about this underground horse market, and they were even profiting from it, and they attacked and squeezed each other in front of the emperor, and they were just acting for the emperor. Look, let the emperor check and balance each other, let the emperor think he can control everything.

Lu Bing was deeply worried. Since the "Daliyi" defeated the civil official group and gained power, his brother has become a little too confident. In recent years, he has become more and more obsessed with alchemy and immortality. This is ridiculous Things.

Lu Bing actually understood in his heart that Emperor Jiajing defeated the civil official group with heavy codes in the "Great Ritual Discussion", took control of all the military and political power, and became the first Ming emperor who truly took power after Hongwu and Yongle in the Ming Dynasty.But because of this, the imperial staff not only opened up Jiajing's road to power, but also broke the backbone of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

Civilian groups do have various disadvantages, such as rejection of military officers, strong desire for power, pedantry, and so on.But they are also representatives of scholars, and what scholars represent is the righteousness of the Ming Dynasty!
Now some people in the civil official group, seeing that they can't get power, extend their hands to money, control their clansmen, form business groups, make profits everywhere, and then return to their hometowns to enclose land.Today's officials, who are of a certain rank, are almost all big landlords in their hometowns.

Among them, the most famous ones are the maritime merchants in the south and the Shanxi merchant group.Maritime merchants in the south colluded with Japanese pirates, went ashore to serve as civilians, and entered the sea as pirates.The Shanxi business group and some large merchants and caravans in the north have even done business in the black water of the Baishan Mountain in Changbai Mountain, and have various transactions with Shengnuzhen, such as Dongzhu, animal skins, including rare medicinal materials such as ginseng and tiger bones. of.They even felled logs in Daxinganling, Xiaoxinganling and other places, and released them to the mainland for sale. The business was not insignificant.

But these are not as serious as the underground horse market!The above can be called making money, while the underground horse market is called treason!

The horse market is strictly prohibited to prevent important military supplies such as salt, iron and tea from entering the grassland.Deliberately use slow means to slowly weaken Mongolia.

It seems that the little prince is not stupid, he was able to contact so many forces in Daming, set up an underground horse market, and do business secretly!

Lu Bing knew that he thought it easy when he came here. The task now is not only to overthrow Chen Hong, but more importantly, to break this collusion!

You should kill!It should be caught!It's time to exterminate the genocide!

Although Lu Bing woke up, it was too late. He didn't expect the situation in Beidi to be so complicated, and he didn't expect that Dongchang had been lurking here for a long time. In the end, he missed a step and lost the opportunity.

Now Lu Bing and more than 50 Jinyiwei were attacked by nearly a thousand gangsters under the banner of the White Lotus Sect, and they were already in danger.

Although Lu Bing used words and rewards to arouse the fierce momentum of the Jinyiwei, the fighting spirit is rolling!
However, the huge difference in the number of people between the two sides is the biggest problem here.If you are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out, and the important information you have is useless!
There are only fifty Jinyiwei on our side. Although each has horses, Jinyiwei is not a professional cavalry.And the opponent not only has hundreds of knights, but also hundreds of infantry!Back and forth, this battle. .how to spell?
This question actually existed in the minds of Zhu Liu and several other Jinyiwei leaders.It's just them, choosing at this time. .He could only choose to trust Lu Bing, this different Jinyi Qianhu official.

And Lu Bing did not intend to disappoint them.

In fact, before deciding to fight, Lu Bing had carefully observed the mountains on both sides and the formation of the opponent's soldiers.

The mountains on both sides are on the opposite side - the hills on the east side are relatively short, and the mountains are not too steep. Most people in the village choose this mountain road when they go out of the mountains.Therefore, it is also very suitable for cavalry to charge from top to bottom.

Looking at the Banner of the Madonna of the White Lotus on the east hill, it was obvious that the leader of the opponent was very familiar with the terrain and the art of war, so he placed the main force there as the main direction of attack.

On the back, that is, on the mountain in the west, it is obvious that the cavalry is slightly less than that in the east, and the infantry is more, because the mountain in the west is much higher than the east, and it is very steep. If there is no way to rush down directly, you have to come down carefully. Therefore, the bandit leader's intention is also very clear. The enemies on the hill to the west are used for sniping and chasing and fleeing.

There is a wide road in the middle of the small village, which is also the only main road in the village, connecting the mountains on both sides.After a little observation, Lu Bing knew from the clarity, width and other details of the mountain roads on both sides that the villagers went to the east when they went out of the mountains, and went to the west to cut firewood and hunt.

Lu Bing also observed the formation and discipline of the enemy army and learned that although the bandit leader of the enemy army had some knowledge of the art of war, those soldiers were just a mob, and the formation speed was extremely slow and irregular.Even the equestrian skills of some knights are obviously just folk riding methods, and the horses are not war horses. Some of them are actually draft horses for pulling carts based on their general shape.

These details, in small-scale fighting, do not seem to have too many disadvantages, but in such a small terrain, the battle of more than a thousand people, such unprofessional cavalry and horses, will show great disadvantages, such as Interfere with each other, take the lead, etc., and even trample on friendly troops.

Especially in the face of the fine-bred Ouchi warhorses ridden by Jin Yiwei, it will show a big gap.

Based on geography and careful observation and comparison of personnel from both sides, Lu Bing believes that as long as the tactics are used properly, there is still a chance of winning.After a little thought, Lu Bing came up with a plan and decided to fight head-on.

Lu Bing believed that as long as his own side had some victories, the half-people, half-bandit enemies would surely be defeated.
