Chapter 340
On Jiangpu Long Street, Langya Cavalry and Yingtian New Army were located in the north and south, facing each other a hundred steps apart.
More than a thousand infantrymen wearing heavy armor, holding spears and steel shields joined Xu Huizu's team, increasing the strength of Yingtian's new army to more than 3,500 in this battle.
These heavy armored gun and shield soldiers have poor mobility and are the last to arrive, but they are at the front of the new army formation. The strong shield with its lower end inserted into the soil can effectively withstand the impact of enemy cavalry.
The hook and sickle gun can even be poked out from the gaps in the steel shield, causing devastating damage to the legs of the war horse.
If one excludes positional warfare due to differences in mobility, this group of spear and shield soldiers is almost the natural enemy of the cavalry.
Hundreds of gunmen stood behind the gun and shield soldiers, aiming a row of dark gun muzzles at the Langya Army soldiers outside Hongyi House. Behind them were two thousand cavalry, occupying all the streets and alleys on the north side of Jiangpu.
Xu Huizu held the unsheathed Jade Dragon Sword and stood at the front single-handedly, his two sharp eyes piercing Feng Yueming.
Feng Yueming didn't look at him. He only smiled faintly while riding on the horse and winked at Lu Xueyu beside him.
Lu Xueyu was smart and understood quickly. She walked to Feng Yueming's side with a smile and squeezed his legs and feet for him. Feng Yueming endured the severe pain of the lead bullet in his body, showed an expression of leisurely enjoyment, and sat on the horse while still
He stretched out and hummed a popular ditty in Qingzhou leisurely.
Most of the Langya cavalrymen were from Shandong. When they heard the familiar tunes and saw their coach looking relaxed and content, not caring about the enemy at all, they all smiled and gradually calmed down their nervous mood.
At this time, the clouds broke and the sun rose, and the golden sunshine shone on the earth, shining on the polished armor of Yingtian's new army, reflecting dazzling light. The big flag rustled in the north wind, but the flagpole was as stable as cast iron, without any shaking.
.
Xu Huizu had strict military control, neat military appearance, and a combination of multiple arms. If it were a head-on confrontation, Feng Yueming's thousand men would be no match for him.
However, the soldiers of the Langya Cavalry all had a relaxed look on their faces, with a carefree look that did not feel any tension or pressure at all. This was particularly strange in the Jiangpu Long Street where the war was fierce and dangerous.
This is the first time that Yingtian's new army has set foot on a real battlefield, and they have already heard of the glorious past of Langya cavalry fighting against Mongolian cavalry. Although they know that their side has an absolute advantage in the situation, some people can't help but wonder if Feng Yueming has any future plans.
trick.
Princess Lin'an, dressed in fine clothes, stood out from the crowd accompanied by Li Qi and Feng Zhenyue, followed closely by Lan Qiao and Feng Yeling.
Feng Yueming signaled Lu Xueyu to step back, clasped his fists on his horse and said, "I will pay my respects to the princess at the end of the day."
Princess Lin'an didn't even look at him. She didn't stop until she reached the Langya Cavalry formation. She looked at Xu Huizu, who was a hundred steps away, and said: "Wei Guogong, you are well."
Xu Huizu turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said loudly: "The general will pay homage to His Highness."
Princess Lin'an nodded, made a supporting gesture with her hands and said, "Please get up, Duke Wei."
Unexpectedly, Xu Huizu did not get up, and then said: "Your Highness and the Prince Consort are still fine and are they injured? These rats didn't make things difficult for Your Highness and the Prince Consort, right?"
Li Shanchang's entire family was executed, and only Li Qi was spared because of his marital relationship with the princess. He usually called himself Mr. Hongyi, and he didn't like people calling him "Prince-in-law." When Xu Huizu said this, he stood up and said with a serious face: "I and I
Whether Her Royal Highness the Princess is injured, Duke Wei can't tell with his fiery eyes."
Xu Huizu didn't know why Li Qi choked him. He was startled for a moment and then stood up.
Lan Qiao took the opportunity and whispered behind Princess Lin'an: "Your Highness, Xu Huizu is so well-prepared that he will definitely not give up. If he catches up as soon as we leave, a bloody battle will still inevitably happen."
Princess Lin'an nodded slightly, indicating that she heard Lan Qiao's words, and raised her voice: "I don't know how Duke Wei wants to deal with the current situation."
Xu Huizu bowed to Princess Lin'an again, then straightened his waist and said: "The Holy One has commanded not to hurt the princess."
"Then let your people get out of the way first." Feng Yueming said bluntly, "With so many guns pointed at us, the princess is here, let me see who dares to be bold."
As soon as he said these words, several firecrackers immediately dropped down. After all, they were a hundred steps apart, and the accuracy of the firecrackers at such a long distance was extremely poor. If Princess Lin'an was accidentally injured, she would not be able to escape even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Already.
Xu Huizu waved his hand, and the spear and shield soldiers, gunmen and cavalry of Yingtian's new army spread out to the east and west sides of the long street, revealing the flat and empty Jiangpu Long Street in an instant.
Feng Yueming secretly praised his opponent's execution while urging his horse forward, leading the Langya Army soldiers to move towards the north entrance of Jiangpu Long Street.
Feng Zhenyue explained to Xu Huizu: "When we get out of the street, I will return the princess to the general."
Xu Huizu said loudly: "Why should I believe you?"
"If the general doesn't want to start a war in Jiangpu, I'm afraid he will have no choice but to believe me." Feng Zhenyue looked up to the sky and said with a smile, "If I don't believe what I said, then I will have to ask General Xu to launch an attack and then take the princess back."
Xu Huizu suddenly changed his color and was about to have an attack. Princess Lin'an said: "Just now in Hongyi Lu, Lord Feng did not treat me rudely. Throughout his decades of experience in serving as generals and nobles, I have never heard of him doing anything.
This is a bad deed of breaking one's word. Lord Feng is a gentleman, I am willing to believe him."
"Your Highness," Xu Huizu sighed, and could only watch Feng Yueming's thousand cavalry drive out of the street and line up on the official road to the north of Jiangpu.
Princess Lin'an slowly turned around and faced Xu Huizu who was following closely behind her and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Duke Wei."
"It is the responsibility of the general to protect His Highness." Xu Huizu glanced at Feng Zhenyue, who was standing next to Princess Lin'an, and bowed: "Your Highness, please move to the general's side."
Princess Lin'an sighed softly and wrapped herself in her windbreaker. Li Qi took a step forward, took one of the princess's arms and walked towards Xu Huizu's formation.
Xu Huizu waved his hand, and the soldiers on both sides immediately protected Li Qi and his wife in the middle like pockets, and then occupied the street behind them, cutting off Feng Zhenyue's threat to the couple.
Princess Lin'an looked in the direction of the capital, knelt down respectfully, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty cares about the feelings of our flesh and blood, and I am so grateful that I cannot express my feelings in words." After saying this, she knelt down and knelt down respectfully, with a look of sincerity on her face.
The soldiers of Yingtian's new army quickly moved out of the way, vacating the space in front of Princess Lin'an.
Xu Huizu helped her up and exclaimed: "Your Majesty has specifically ordered that the thief should be allowed to go rather than harm the imperial aunt. These thieves are so outrageous. They even used such despicable hooligan methods. As expected of Zhu
Don’t worry, Mr. Fourth, Your Highness.” After saying this, he turned around and glared at Feng Zhenyue, and shouted: “Get out of here!”
Feng Yueming raised his riding whip and said: "Let's go"
With an order, the army set off.
"How can you not thank me face to face for such a great favor?" Princess Lin'an saw Feng Zhenyue, Feng Yueming and others' team gradually disappearing, and said calmly, "I want to go to Beijing immediately to meet the saint. Wei Guogong is willing to accompany me."
"It is a great honor to protect His Highness. However," Xu Huizu said with an expression on his face, looking at the direction in which the Langya Cavalry was escaping, "the thieves haven't gone far yet. If we can immediately launch an army to pursue them, there is still a chance to catch them."
I'm sorry, I've vented this bad breath on His Highness."
"Let the general go." "War Ghost" Lan Zuwang, who was standing aside, said loudly, "The general can escort Her Royal Highness to the capital first. After seeing the emperor, he can quickly come and join the general."
Princess Lin'an smiled and said: "Your Majesty cares most about feelings. When you meet Duke Wei, you will definitely receive rewards and rewards."
