Chapter 336 Yingtian New Army
The crowd headed north along the official road, and after less than two hundred steps, they suddenly heard the thundering sound of horse hooves, and a group of officers and soldiers with bright armor suddenly appeared at the end of the line of sight in the distance, rushing towards Jiangpu.
Lu Xueyu's expression changed and she said: "It's impossible. It's less than two hours before our operation starts. There's no way the officers and soldiers can move so fast."
She once calculated that if people from the capital discovered that there was a change in Jiangpu and reported to the Emperor Ming to request the generals to send troops, it would take at least two and a half hours for the personal guards to arrive at Jiangpu: "Could it be that the messenger was leaked and let the capital know in advance?
"The changes in Jiangpu"
"No, if the guards are really dispatched, they must have come from the ferry." Feng Zhenyue shook his head calmly and said, "There are about two thousand people in this group now, and all the cavalry have appeared from the north again. They are definitely not
The capital's personal guards, we have fallen into a trap."
"If it weren't for one of the twelve personal guards of the capital, how could there be such a force around here?" Lan Qiao said in confusion, "Although there are not many of them, their equipment is first-class and sophisticated. This flag"
Before he finished speaking, he heard another burst of hoofbeats behind him. It turned out that Feng Yueming was driving out from the north entrance of Jiangpu Long Street with a thousand Langya cavalry.
Feng Yueming obviously saw the officers and soldiers approaching from a distance. He rode up to Feng Zhenyue and others and said: "Everyone, get on your horses quickly. We must break out immediately."
Soldiers had already brought war horses for Feng Zhenyue, Lan Qiao and others. Due to the limited number of war horses, some people had to ride with two people.
Feng Yeling sat behind Lan Qiao, hugging Lan Qiao's waist tightly with her hands, her pretty face pressed against his back, listening to his powerful heartbeat.
The officers and soldiers approached and stopped five hundred steps away from the north entrance of Jiangpu County, and began to slowly spread out to both sides like a fan. After spreading out the left and right wings for about four hundred steps, they advanced another two hundred steps in an arc. At the same time, the Chinese army also moved towards
Approach one hundred and fifty steps forward, forming a trident-like pocket formation.
"They are sure to defeat us." Feng Zhenyue pointed at the formation of the army with his whip and said, "This encirclement is for fear that we will escape."
Feng Yueming said calmly: "At this time, the heavy rain has just stopped and the ground is muddy. Except for this diligently repaired official road, the fields on the left and right are not conducive to the cavalry's march. We concentrate our troops on the middle road to break out and disperse them, so we may not have no chance of breaking out.
.”
Lan Qiao carefully observed that there were many footsteps moving behind the official cavalry, and secretly said in surprise: "In addition to the cavalry, they should also have a lot of infantry."
"Infantry is nothing to worry about." Feng Yue Ming said, "As long as we can break through the enemy's defense line in the middle, we will be like a bird escaping from the cage, and no one can catch up."
He rode his horse to the front, raised his spirits and shouted: "The moon is shining in the lee wind, I will tell you my name when I come."
Two large flags were erected neatly. On the left flag were written the four characters "Yingtian New Army", and on the right flag were the other four characters Wei Guogong Xu.
"It's Xu Huizu," Xu Yang, who was following Feng Yueming, gasped, "The number one master in the capital, the eldest son of the famous general Xu Da, Wei Guogong Xu Huizu."
Before Feng Yueming could speak, the cavalry in the middle of the army suddenly staggered to the left and right. A middle-aged general with a gold helmet and golden armor rode out leisurely on a war horse. He pointed his spear at Feng Zhenyue, Feng Yueming and others, and said loudly: "I am here to serve you."
The emperor's secret decree is to train a new army seventy miles east of Jiangpu County in order to wipe out the Yan rebellion and defend the capital. Now you and other rebels are openly harassing the army at the feet of the emperor. You really overestimate your capabilities and bully our capital."
Feng Zhenyue reminded in a low voice: "Xu Huizu's military skills and martial arts have been passed down from his father. Although he has no obvious military achievements, he must not be taken lightly."
"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Every time we wait, there will be more danger. We must break out immediately." Feng Yueming stared at Xu Huizu without blinking and said to Feng Zhenyue, "If we wait for the capital's personal guards, Come across the ferry and we'll be finished."
Feng Zhenyue looked at Xu Yang, who expressed his position: "What the young marquis said is reasonable. Xu Huizu came well prepared. If they are allowed to stand firm, I'm afraid..."
Seeing Feng Zhenyue nodding slowly, Feng Yueming drew out his long sword and shouted: "The whole army attacks"
Thousands of Langya cavalry lined up in six columns on the official road, swarming towards Xu Huizu's central army.
Xu Huizu sneered, turned his horse's head and retreated into the formation. The soldiers of Yingtian's new army were waiting in tight formation, waiting for the moment of battle.
The Langya cavalry are worthy of being elites who have fought against the Mongolian cavalry, and are familiar with the tactics and tactics of various cavalry. Under the leadership of Feng Yueming, they are like tigers among wolves, fighting against Xu Huizu's Yingtian on the flat but narrow official road. The new army fought hand to hand.
They are all well-trained elites, but Yingtian's new army is distinguished by its well-equipped equipment. Whether it is the quality of swords and guns or the hardness of their armor, Yingtian's new army is stronger than the Langya cavalry who have removed their armor for many years.
Feng Yueming took the lead and stabbed an enemy soldier with one shot, but he felt no joy at all. He felt the thickness of the enemy soldier's armor and knew that his own soldiers had to put in more effort to achieve the same results as expected.
With a spear on one side and a shield on the other, the two sides fought desperately on the narrow official road. With just a snap of a finger, more than ten people fell.
Feng Zhenyue soared into the sky from his saddle and attacked the enemy commander Xu Huizu.
The shadow of his palm flew, and he broke through the eight soldiers in front of Xu Huizu and killed them in front of his horse.
Xu Huizu calmly drew out the family sword "Jade Dragon" and struck Feng Zhenyue with one strike.
With the awe of the sword, Feng Zhenyue changed his sword and cut it across Xu Huizu's Jade Dragon Sword.
The two people's anger collided, making a loud "bang" sound, like gunpowder exploding.
Xu Huizu's horse neighed and stood up. Feng Zhenyue flew upwards like a top and kicked Xu Huizu in the temple: "Wei Guogong kept a low profile and kept a low profile. His skills are so great. I am very happy and congratulated."
"The Marquis is still as handsome as ever, I admire you." Xu Huizu said, swung his long sword, held a sword flower in the air, and stabbed Feng Zhenyue in the lower abdomen from an extremely mysterious angle.
"Good swordsmanship." Feng Zhenyue laughed and used his other leg to kick Xu Huizu's sword edge.
There was another "bang", and the two of them were evenly matched again and retreated.
At this time, Feng Yueming was covered in blood. Under his leadership, the Langya cavalry finally dispersed Yingtian's new army who had just arrived on the battlefield, forcing the enemy cavalry to flee into the fields on both sides of the official road.
He only felt the pressure lighten, and at the same time, his eyes widened, and the flat and empty official road appeared in front of him.
"The breakout was successful." Feng Yueming couldn't hide her inner excitement. She was about to shout loudly to ask the team behind to catch up quickly. Suddenly, she heard three drums and hundreds of infantrymen poked their heads out from the grass on the left and right sides.
It turns out that just now, the cavalry of Yingtian's new army dispersed to the left and right, not just to form an encircling pocket formation, but also to cover the position of these infantry.
Although Lan Qiao saw the footsteps of the infantry behind the cavalry, he did not see the weapons in the hands of the infantry.
If ordinary infantry were ambushing in the grass on both sides of the road, his Langya cavalry would be able to rush over with overwhelming force.
