0830 no night
Liu Pei was eager to attack Pingdu alone, but on the one hand, it was indeed to relieve the pressure of the Laizhou war. The most important reason was that he did not expose his artillery!
This time, Liu Pei brought ten old-fashioned cannons to the table, and worked hard every day to wipe the cannons so that others could not be suspicious. Liu Pei's real artillery team was hiding in the mountain, waiting to meet with Liu Pei at any time.
This time, Liu Peike prepared 30 artillery pieces for the rebels! It was enough for them to drink a pot! You should know that private artillery was a serious crime at this time! Even if it was not a charge, Liu Pei always had to explain the funds and technical sources of the artillery casting, which was also a big problem. This would make the court turn its attention to Liu Pei.
Liu Pei bid farewell to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, and led his army to sail towards Mount Kushan. The ten cannons were loaded on the rubber wheel chariot, which could still keep up with the speed of the march.
On the way, Liu Pei received another intelligence from the Intelligence Bureau. This time the intelligence was extremely detailed, and the people from the Intelligence Bureau sneaked into the rebels and obtained the intelligence.
The leader of the rebels was Kong Youde! At that time, when he was captured, there were only a few thousand people who were besieged Pingdu. After he besieged Pingdu, many people came to surrender. However, they were all ulterior motives. In addition to his garrison troops and people, Kong Youde's team had expanded to more than 10,000 people.
Liu Pei sneered and tore the note in his hand to pieces. Liu Pei understood that this temporarily expanded team is best dealt with, and it is vulnerable at all! As long as the cannon sounds, a large number of temporary joiners will flee within two rounds!
But what Liu Pei was worried about was that when he reached Pingdu, he had already lost it. After all, Kong Youde's actual strength was much higher than in history. Although Pingdu did not fail in history, it is not necessarily the case now.
After Liu Pei turned to the mountain and joined the artillery, he slowed down and advanced towards Pingdu at a standard marching speed of 50 miles a day. The cavalry were also released by Liu Pei to find out the road and strangle the opponent's ranger.
When Liu Pei approached Pingdu, the cavalry in front came back to the news that they had already fought with the opponent's ranger. The cavalry also sent back two heads and two war horses.
After carefully examining the war horses, Liu Pei gave up the idea of dragging the battle.
Because the two war horses were fat and strong, and strong in spirit. From this point of view, these rebels obviously did not lack food.
Liu Pei continued to lead the team forward. The cavalry opened the way ahead. Liu Pei believed that the rebels knew that the official army was approaching at this time, after all, they had lost three groups of rangers. Kong Youde, as a veteran, would never miss this situation.
The two brothers Yang Kaihua and he carefully explored along the official road.
If you still have memories, will you still remember the soldier who was teased by a war horse under Liu Pei's nose when he first established a cavalry? He is Yang Kaihua.
At that time, Yang Kaihua wanted to become a cool cavalryman, but unfortunately, at that time, he couldn't even fight his own horse, and he was teased by the horse and was very fond of it!
But now it’s different. After so many years of hard training, Yang Kaihua has become an experienced cavalryman. And being able to be selected as a team that never stops at night under Yang Jingfa’s selection is enough to show his excellence!
The weather in July is already very hot in Shandong. The sun shines on the ground, and even the air on the surface is distorted! So the three of them can't see much farther.
The cavalry with a big pancake on the left side of Yang Kaihua wiped the sweat from his face viciously and said, "This ghost weather! I'm almost drying me! Old ghost, do you still have water there? I just finished drinking all my water for my black charcoal."
Another cavalryman named Lao Gui took a kettle from the saddle and threw it over, saying, "Persevere, little eyes! There are a few more miles, today's sentry mission will be completed!"
Little eyes took the kettle, drank half of the kettle in one breath before covering the lid and throwing it back to the old ghost. Just as he was about to say something, Yang Kaihua whispered: "Shut up!"
The two of them immediately stopped talking and looked at the ears of their war horses. It was because Yang Kaihua discovered this and stopped them from speaking. Because the ears of war horses were much more sensitive than those of humans.
Now the ears of the three horses are raised up and facing forward. The three people who are already familiar with horse nature know that there must be cavalry in front of them. Because only the sound of the horse hooves of the cavalry can be heard from afar. If the infantry makes it out
If the movements and movements can be heard by war horses, they are either very close or there are large groups of infantry approaching.
The three men strangled the war horses and stared at the distance. Five figures slowly appeared in the twisted air in the distance.
The old ghost laughed twice and said, "It seems that the little boys of the rebels are scared! In the past, they all rode alone or double, but today they actually sent five cavalry out!"
Little eyes said excitedly: "Yangtou, what should I do? Or not?"
Yang Kaihua sneered and said, "There are only five people, why don't you shoot? Let's give them a short gun first, then draw their swords and cut them twice, and then we cut our heads and return to the camp. It's that simple!"
After hearing Yang Kaihua's words, the little eyes and the old ghost smiled grimly. They pulled out the short guns from the saddle bag to check whether the lead bullet was in the chamber, and also moved the faucet away. Then they pulled out the saber to check. Finally, they sorted out the plate armor.
After several actual combat, the cavalry discovered the benefits of plate armor. As long as they were not stabbed in the front, there would basically be no major problems. Moreover, they had a certain protective effect on blunt attacks.
Because the plate armor transforms all its strength at the moment of being hit, allowing all bodies to bear it at the same time, greatly reducing the probability of injury.
At this time, the rafters in front also found the three of them, but they obviously hesitated for a while before slowly moving forward, and it was obvious that the war was about to start. Yang Kaihua and the other two had already prepared and were waiting for them leisurely.
When Yang Kaihua saw the other party approaching, he also began to ride his horse forward. The horse Yang Kaihua sat down seemed to feel the atmosphere before the war and began to sniff excitedly!
The two sides got closer and closer, and almost at the same time began to beat horses and accelerate towards the other side! The leader of the rebel army was obviously very confident in himself, so he rushed directly towards Yang Kaihua. The other four people were grouped in groups, preparing to deal with Xiaoyan and Lao Gui.
Chapter completed!
